Actor: Thank you.

A few days later, Zhang Yuan was discussing future work with Cheng Hao.

"You spend money too lavishly." The good sister complained.

She was still thinking about the ruby ​​necklace.

In fact, not only she was thinking about it, but all the actresses who participated in the party that day were thinking about it.

Even Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun want it.

Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing were almost crying with greed.

Ninety-nine percent of girls like shiny, glittery things.

This has nothing to do with family birth.

Liu Xixi was born into a very good family, but she also particularly likes crystals, diamonds and other objects that look very transparent and shiny.

As the saying goes, things resemble their owners. In fact, conversely, the things you like can also reflect your inner self.

Whether you like rubies or not, just know that they are expensive and wearing them will make you stand out.

Anyway, when these people saw Zhang Yuan putting the necklace on Su Mang, they only had two reactions.

It's a waste for her. It's like feeding Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to a wild boar!
I am definitely more suitable than her!
Just these two ideas.

Extending from these two ideas, many women have become interested in Zhang Yuan.

Many people have invited him to dinner recently.

Zhang Yuan is not stupid either.

This chain costs more than one million.

With so much money, I can buy batch after batch in heaven and earth.

What am I doing with you guys?

Moreover, half of the female stars have starved themselves to the point of being skeletons in order to appear on camera.

Not to mention sleeping, even hugging him hurts my hands, like hugging a lamb.

Of all the people who contacted him, there was only one he felt was suitable.

"You looked so handsome at the party."

"I'll go with you next time."

Li Xiaoran also saw the report.

Zhang Yuan thought, her skin was so fair, she would definitely look beautiful wearing the ruby.

Of course, it would be best to wear only the ruby ​​and nothing else...

Of course, I called not only to praise him, but also to make an appointment.

It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and quite a few people have asked him out.

Gao Yuanyuan also asked him out for the party that day.

Liu Tao also asked him out for dinner.

Zhang Yuan also asked her where she was going to eat and what cuisine she wanted to eat.

As a result, this person said that she and Chen Zihan had eaten with him.

Zhang Yuan knew that they should be eating a set meal for two.

But these people treated him as Tang Monk's flesh, and some even drew a "demon-avoiding circle" on him.

Cheng Hao smelled something wrong, so he had been "accompanying" him to eat and rest these days.

He had no reason to go out.

"I told you, spending money is useful." Zhang Yuan replied when he saw her complaining.

"It's useful, it is useful." The good sister still complained.

"I changed the covers of two magazines and it worked."

“But it’s still a loss!”

"What kind of magazine is worth so much money?"

"Don't always just look at the short-term economic accounts." Zhang Yuan faced her complaints calmly.

“Is charity a good thing?”

"Yes."

“It helps with the image, right?”

"Yes."

“Is image important to an artist?”

"Yes, yes, you are always right!" she replied unhappily.

"Besides the image of charity, there will be other additional effects."

"Don't worry."

Zhang Yuan said calmly.

"After all, this time I not only fed the editor-in-chief of Su University, but also fed him well."

"And promised her that I would continue to feed her."

"Tell me, when those brands do research, who will they mention?"

These days, the power of the Internet is just beginning to gain momentum, and big brands cannot rely on big data analysis when choosing spokespersons or placing advertisements.

After all, there is no such thing to refer to.

Of course, even if we have big data in the future, it may not be reliable.

Because many artists seem to have many fans and a large audience, but these fans are from the lower-end market and have very poor purchasing power.

Typical examples of people with many fans but poor purchasing power are Xie Na, Yang Zi, and Yang Mi whose reputation collapsed in the later period.

The data for these people is very exaggerated, but the cost-effectiveness of their endorsements is actually not high.

Now brands, especially big brands, are choosing spokespersons.

In addition to news popularity, top magazines can also influence the judgment of these investors.

It was for this reason that all the major artists were polite to Su Mang before she left the stage.

She is just like Nongfu Spring.

We don't produce water, we are just nature's porter.

The editors-in-chief of these top publications are important middlemen.

Zhang Yuan's original plan was to make a name for himself abroad before counterattacking the mainland.

With a foreign style, it will be much easier to get high-end endorsements.

Since he had come into contact with Su Mang because of the "Men's Health" incident, he simply moved his plans forward.

One step ahead!
After all, one step faster than another, time waits for no one.

"boss!"

As they were chatting, they saw the chubby Yang Siwei walking over with a stack of documents.

"Look." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and straightened the man.

"The rewards are here..."

On the other hand, the second round of auditions for "Assembly" has just been completed.

This time, Huayi intends to use "Assembly" to make a comeback.

After all, neither “The Warring States” nor “The Banquet” made much money.

The cost of this film was extremely low, and Feng Xiaogang only received a share of the profits, with no basic salary.

The other actors fared even worse.

All the main actors, from top to bottom, were given a total salary budget of only 100 million.

Most of the remaining funds will be spent on the construction of important war scenes, environments and scenarios at the airport.

There is only 100 million in total. How much money can be earned after it is distributed among these artists?

But even so, the audition team for this film is still luxurious.

Almost everything available on the market is here!
This is the power of big-name directors. They dare to lower the price, and people still come.

Everyone comes here to become famous, not to earn a paycheck.

Xixi filmed "The Return of the Condor Heroes" for several months, got injured all over and even developed a neck disease, but only earned less than 30 yuan.

But after the film was broadcast, his fame soared, and his subsequent endorsement and business prices skyrocketed.

What everyone is calculating is the subsequent long-term benefits.

Those present at this moment included Hu Jun, Ren Quan, Huang Xiaoming, Liao Fan, Nie Yuan, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Li Chen... and of course Bao Qiang and Zhang Yi, the two people Zhang Yuan pushed over, were also there.

Although Hu Jun is Hua Jie's man, Hua Jie and Hua Yi have conflicts.

But after getting approval from his agent, he still came for the audition.

After the audition, this group of old guys, led by Hu Jun, had a meal together.

Hu Jun knew that Sister Hua was feeling a little uncomfortable recently.

After all, I have never done that with a junior, so I have an impression of the reputation.

Hu Jun also didn't want to cut off Hua Yi and its related resources because of the agent.

So he was smart and tried to make multiple connections and make as many connections as possible within the circle.

"We are all here today. All the famous young people in the Chinese entertainment industry are here." Hu Jun was the host. "Whether we are selected or not, whether we film this movie together or not, we are all friends."

"I'll do it first as a courtesy."

After everyone had a drink, someone said something sour.

“Not everyone is here.”

"The most popular one didn't show up."

It was Nie Yuan who said this.

As soon as he spoke, everyone knew who he was referring to.

"The pay for this film is low, and the expenses are so high, I guess they won't watch it."

Many people who had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan looked nervous.

But I don't deny this statement either.

It's true that the pay was low, and the person really didn't come for the audition.

"There's probably not enough room for actors with a box office of 10 billion in this room," Nie Yuan added.

Baoqiang slammed the table and stood up.

"What did you say!"

"Be an upright person and don't speak ill of others behind their backs."

"What do you mean by bad words? Didn't he admit the 10 billion box office at the party?" Nie Yuan was also a troublemaker. He stood up unconvinced and said, "Even the box office from guest appearances is included."

"Why doesn't he include the box office revenue of all the movies he's seen!"

"My eldest brother is awesome. Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to talk about him?"

"If you have the ability, go and act in Zhang Yimou's movie!" Baoqiang was really unhappy, and he would be embarrassed if he didn't protect his elder brother's face in public.

"Hey, Baoqiang, we are all insiders, there is no need."

"Nie Yuan, you should also say less."

Hu Jun tried to smooth things over.

"What do you mean by saying less?" Bao Qiang was unconvinced: "Don't say a word!"

"If my eldest brother were sitting here, would you dare to say this?"

Baoqiang shut down Nie Yuangan's microphone with just one sentence.

If Zhang Yuan was sitting at the table, he would not have the courage to say this.

Seeing that Nie Yuan didn't say anything, the others all sneered.

This is a case of stepping down on someone and flattering him. There are too many cases of people being jealous of others, it is not surprising at all.

"Brother Jun, let's go. We don't want to eat with this kind of people!" Baoqiang pulled Zhang Yi out. Hu Jun tried to persuade them but failed, so he gave up.

"Will it not offend the Hu army?"

Zhang Yi asked again after they left.

"Which is more frightening, offending Hu Jun or offending big brother?" Bao Qiang pointed at him.

If they don't make their attitude clear at this time, and if there are unpleasant words on the table later, they will not take action or not.

It’s better to run away early and out of sight, out of mind.

Besides, the big brother doesn't even take this kind of guy seriously, so why should he bother with him?

"Oh, so that's it..." Zhang Yi was slow to react in this regard.

After thinking it over, I wondered why Zhang Yuan's subordinates were all a bunch of cunning people like loaches.

Do I seem a bit out of place in this team?

After they left, the others also began to persuade them.

"Zhang Yuan is young, so it's normal for him to like to show off." Hu Jun said while raising his glass.

He was there that day and saw it with all his heart!
When those women saw Zhang Yuan casually giving away the million-dollar necklace, their eyes lit up!
I wanted to jump on him right there and then!
"Humph, Zhang Yuan is a typical example of someone who has been poor for too long."

"The nouveau riche mentality, low self-esteem, just love to show off!"

Nie Yuan was still chattering when a roasted suckling pig was served. He angrily took three big bites of it.

"Not really, not at all. I think he is a nice guy and usually very polite." Huang Xiaoming advised.

It must be said that Brother Xiao Ming is indeed much more human than Nie Yuan.

"Yes, I filmed a movie with him and he worked very hard," Hu Jun added.

"I've taken photos with you before, and things were fine in private. Maybe you were just too excited that day." Kun Kun also spoke for him.

These people were all talking to him.

The rest of them didn't have much interaction with him, so they didn't follow suit and express their opinions, but just listened quietly.

After that, everyone got drunk gradually.

Nie Yuan was still complaining, and the others who were helping him talk kept pulling him back and forth, basically maintaining a dynamic balance.

Until a phone call came.

"Hey."

"Hey, I'm eating."

"What!" Brother Kun sat up straight.

"Who?"

Soon after, Chen Kun showed an expression of a dead father.

"what happened?"

"Nothing... just... I'm used to it."

"What happened?" Hu Jun asked, acting like an elder brother.

"I negotiated for the endorsement for several months, but it was cut off."

"what?"

Colleagues love to hear this kind of gossip.

Because understanding things and the struggles behind them helps you judge how you deal with people.

"Who stole it?"

"The person who didn't come today..." Brother Kun had a look of despair on his face.

The whole audience fell silent in understanding.

Good guy!
He is not here, but he is everywhere.

"What endorsement?"

"Montblanc, the spokesperson for the mainland."

The reason why Brother Kun felt so upset was not because of the endorsement fee.

It’s because of the brand.

Although Montblanc is just a sub-brand of the Richemont Group.

Moreover, this brand is mid-range or even lower-end among luxury goods.

Although this brand has bags, leather goods, perfumes, and watches, it is more famous for its pens.

Especially gold pens, or models with diamonds inlaid on the pen caps, are still sought after by many successful people.

But one thing is that luxury brands are mostly targeted at women.

There are few brands that cater to men.

There are only a few of them, and some brands may not even use Chinese spokespersons.

In addition, endorsing foreign brands will help one's own commercial value and even affect one's film pay.

Because luxury brands will place huge advertisements in the core areas and largest shopping malls of major cities.

This is much more upscale than printing the image on potato chip packaging.

Whether it is Huaihai Road and Nanjing Road in the Magic City, or Wangfujing and Sanlitun in the Imperial Capital.

The advertising poster spaces there are all "battlefields".

So for Brother Kun, what was taken away was not just an endorsement.

"Isn't this bullying the honest people?" Kun Kun couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey?"

While he was complaining, Huang Xiaoming's cell phone rang.

Shortly after……

"He just bullies honest people!"

"My CK!"

The CK fashion item endorsement that Xiao Ming had been negotiating for was also snatched away.

But it was cut off, but not completely.

"CK said that we can shoot an underwear commercial. Do you want to?" the agent said to Brother Xiao Ming.

"Just leave me a pair of underwear?"

The agent thought to himself, given the current gap between you two, it’s already good enough that they can leave you some underwear.

Zhang Yuan cares about his image, so he didn't take the role in an advertisement that required large areas of nudity.

"Hey, Leaf, what's up?"

Shortly after Huang Xiaoming joined the group of people drinking and complaining, Hu Jun also received a call.

But it wasn’t a call from the agent.

Let him breathe a sigh of relief.

The caller is Liu Ye.

"Shit, Ye Zi's L'Oreal Men's was also robbed."

A few minutes later, after listening to his friend's complaints, Jun patted the back of his head.

"I finally understand now." Qiao Feng blinked his eyes: "Zhang Yuan is not showing off at all."

"He's setting a trap!"

"What kind of trap is this? It's clearly a shovel!" Huang Xiaoming complained weakly.

"They dug up our ancestors' graves."

Upon seeing this, Nie Yuan once again took the lead in "complaining". This time no one spoke up for Zhang Yuan, and there were even quite a few who echoed him.

Not being envied is mediocrity.

If you don’t make your peers feel bad, you are not a popular artist.

The others watched silently, and at the same time were glad that Zhang Yuan didn't snatch the opportunity from them.

But then I thought about it.

It seems like we don’t have anything worth him stealing… It feels bad.

A-choo, A-choo, A-choo... In the courtyard, Zhang Yuan sneezed several times in a row.

"Did someone scold me?" he said casually.

"Montblanc, CK, L'Oreal... OK."

Zhang Yuan was not too excited.

This woman, Su Mang, has done me a lot of favors.

These endorsements are more or less related to her.

Of course, it also has something to do with the hype he created at the party.

But the quality of these brands is very average, and there are no top brands.

"This old witch..." Zhang Yuan secretly said.

I gave it, but not the best.

Because she wants to keep the best ones to exchange for more advanced resources.

Not only him, Cheng Hao also gained a lot of benefits.

She endorses products such as Coach sunglasses and Elizabeth Arden perfume.

The only relatively high-end one is Bulgari’s endorsement in China.

After all, the necklace was donated in her name at the party, and the brand was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan.

But he was a man, so the blame turned to Cheng Hao.

But it’s only for one year. Although high-end luxury brands usually only sign for one to two years, it’s still very short.

"Did you make your money back?" Zhang Yuan said, putting his arm around Cheng Hao's waist.

"Yes." She kissed him on the cheek.

"But it was only a little bit in return. Only the two of us gave some benefits."

"Then you have to take a look at the kind of people in our company." Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

"Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Ning Hao... How can you let luxury brands use these faces?"

"These guys got together to play mahjong on the winter solstice night, and even ghosts dared not approach."

"Hehehe... Who told you to always look for someone who looks like this?"

"Well, most of the women in our company are pretty good-looking." Cheng Hao suddenly thought of this and then narrowed his eyes.

"Men always pick ugly ones, while women always pick pretty ones."

"Boss Zhang, you are quite principled."

"This, this is not a coincidence." Zhang Yuan scratched his head guiltily.

"Yao Cheng!"

"There's still Yao Cheng, but she's not that good looking."

"Heh..." Cheng Hao sneered.

"Hey, I remember someone's outfit in those photos, but I haven't tried them all yet?" He quickly changed the subject.

"Did I promise?"

"Okay, you're going to cheat on me, right?"

Deng!
As the backyard partition door closed, a big battle was about to break out.

Not many days.

Zhang Yuan shot a large number of advertising photos and short films in succession.

While he was busy working non-stop, he also received the script from the crew of "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots"... (End of this chapter)
