Actor: Thank you.
Chapter 629 Fallen Leaves
In recent days, Zhang Yuan's face has almost become stiff from smiling.
You should smile when taking advertising photos.
You have to smile when shooting promotional videos.
You have to smile while taking poster photos.
The most infuriating thing was what he had not thought of before.
That is what makes luxury brands different from general brands.
Whether it is the lowest level of brand friend, to the higher level of image ambassador, to the regional spokesperson, to the highest level of global spokesperson.
All those who have signed the contract have to participate in the brand's activities.
And at these events, especially customer events.
The celebrities who seem to be so glamorous in public and have people serving them in front of and behind the scenes are actually just decorations or clothes racks.
Montblanc’s activities are okay, this brand is more business-oriented.
He also served as a guest and demonstrated new models of wallets and briefcases.
The most important thing is the release of several limited edition pens.
There are enamel luster.
Some are inlaid with diamonds.
The pen cap is made of a circle of crushed rubies, and the tip of the pen is inlaid with platinum and rhodium.
Zhang Yuan thought that this brand of wallet was only over a thousand yuan and not as expensive as LV, so it should be just that.
As a result, none of the three pens cost less than one million...
When he finally signed a white suitcase with the pen, his hands were shaking.
Not scared.
Although this is expensive, it is not something to be afraid of.
It's exciting.
He even wanted to put it in his pocket when the organizer wasn't paying attention.
The soul of the Iron Thieves is burning.
Those sitting in the audience and attending the event were all middle-aged and young business owners, all dressed like successful people.
All he had to cooperate with was to take photos with these people and then personally deliver the limited edition pens to the buyers.
Yang Siwei accompanied her there. She had never seen events of these high-end brands and wanted to take a look.
"Boss, do you want to buy a pen too?" she said after the event was almost over.
"Go out and sign the contract. It's a face-saving thing."
"No!" Zhang Yuan said angrily.
Seeing him like this, the fat girl thought he didn't like this brand.
"I just asked their people if they could give me a pen."
“They won’t give it to you.”
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. You even added that if I want it, you can give me a small card holder as a gift."
"You're treating me like a beggar!"
Zhang Yuan angrily handed a handbag to his assistant.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, what is this filled with?" Zhao Xinxin asked.
"Card pack!"
Yang Siwei: …
My boss is really down to earth.
If you don't pick up money when you go out, you'll lose it.
She didn't know that Zhang Yuan was already giving face by not taking a few pens home.
Montblanc is pretty good here.
It was even worse when we got to CK.
The quality of this brand is very average. It also sells things like sunglasses and jewelry, but they are all fashion fast-moving consumer goods.
The people who came to the event were a group of young girls.
After seeing him, my voice almost broke!
He blocked the aisle of the mall and made it almost impossible to walk.
Fortunately, Zhao Xinxin had practiced before, and with a few moves of the Iron Mountain Backbone he was able to knock away many of those blocking his way.
Needless to say, during the event, his face was almost frozen with smiles when he stood on the stage.
The key is the interactive session after the event.
Just sign it, it's free.
Merchants are still using him to organize activities.
As long as you buy the limited edition bracelet on site, you can take a photo with him while hugging him.
You are the boss and you have the final say.
But many people's hands and feet are not honest when taking photos!
It’s okay to just hook hands, touch waists, and touch chest muscles.
Damn, someone patted my butt!
The key is that he is a man.
Zhang Yuan couldn't hold it in and almost slapped the other person in the face.
After returning home, he angrily told his good sister about this matter.
The other party clapped his hands in joy and even went around behind him to wipe it.
"It's pretty nice to touch."
Zhang Yuan: …
"Come on, don't worry about it."
"When I attend events, I always have to be on guard against the organizers and VIPs taking advantage of me."
"We female stars are the ones who have to work hard."
"Those old men are disgusting. They just like to rub others with their elbows and the backs of their hands."
At this point, Cheng Hao revealed an expression as if he was eating a fly.
"But work is work, there's nothing you can do about it."
"You're already doing well."
"I heard before that in Hong Kong, a movie star-level male star was a guest at a high-end jewelry event."
"As a result, I was kissed by a local rich woman, who also stuck out her tongue and bit my ear."
"They even said they were going to the hotel after the event."
“In the end, that person actually went.”
Zhang Yuan frowned: "That's different."
He knew that such high-end jewelry events would invite celebrities as guests.
In fact, these guests are also salesmen.
When displaying jewelry and famous watches, if they are sold on the spot, there will be a high commission.
And no matter whether a rich woman or a rich man takes advantage of you, you cannot resist.
Otherwise, if these big customers get angry and complain to the brand, the brand may ban them.
"They can make money, so they just sell their butts."
“I don’t have any money.”
Even many male and female stars will compete to be the "sales champion" in such occasions to show their popularity and ability, so as to attract brands to renew or sign contracts.
"No one in our company will do this kind of thing in the future..." Zhang Yuan paused after he finished speaking.
"At least we can't do this kind of thing."
"These details must be clearly stated in future business and endorsement contracts."
"Hey." Cheng Hao responded, hugging his neck.
After explaining the matter to Yang Siwei, he nodded in agreement.
I thought that only he would add clauses and reject such things.
Other artists would be eager to find an opportunity to sell themselves.
I’m afraid I can’t sell it at a good price.
But then he thought that his boss was indeed amazing.
I went to a charity gala and spent more than 200 million!
He didn't blink, and his hands didn't even shake.
As a result, within a few days, he received a bunch of endorsement contracts!
The total value of the contracts he and Cheng Hao received after the party was nearly 3000 million.
With more than ten times the return, this deal is totally worth it!
And this is even when luxury brands are lowering their prices.
If both of them appear on the cover of a magazine in the future, the endorsement fee for the fashion brand should be able to be increased by another level.
The manager has also competently started promoting the product on the Internet.
Because the cover of the first issue of "Bazaar Men" is of great significance, we have to create hype in advance.
Having intercepted a lot of endorsements before, Zhang Yuan and Cheng Hao were gossiped about by many of their peers behind their backs.
As a result, when the news that Zhang Yuan would be included in the inaugural issue was announced, it aroused the envy of countless people.
Those eyeballs were even redder than the ruby necklace Zhang Yuan gave away!
Because even if it is the golden September and October, if I don’t make it this year, I still have a chance next year.
But there is only one inaugural issue!
It’s not like Su Mang had not contacted other male artists before.
Several people are talking about it.
As a result, everyone found out that the "goddess" who had been ambiguous for a long time suddenly announced that she was getting married.
And she made the announcement while holding her big belly!
Who can bear this!
Everyone was chatting before and having a good time.
As a result, after your editor-in-chief from Soo University received a string of expensive jewels, he decided to be with you.
Anyone with sufficient eyes can see that Zhang Yuan used this necklace to exchange for the cover.
If I had known, I would have...
Everyone can make a wise decision after the fact, but if they are really given another chance, how many of these people would give up their money?
Because no one would do this, Zhang Yuan could only get high returns after doing it.
A necklace has formed a "marriage" with the fashion group, which is very worthwhile. Accompanied by the chirping and even scolding of countless colleagues, Zhang Yuan, after a little preparation, took his luggage and assistant and came to KM City, YN Province.
After a break, he is finally going to start working again.
This was also his last job before the New Year.
"Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots"!
Just like "Baby Project" and even the Bazaar dinner, he came to the crew for the purpose of filming secondarily and building relationships was his main purpose.
"Coming!"
Zhao Benshan specially sent someone to pick him up at the airport.
When he arrived at the place, he got off the car and saw Uncle Benshan with messy hair and tattered clothes.
"You said you, you just made a cameo appearance, but you had to come early."
"I still have to treat you to food and lodging." Uncle Benshan complained.
But there was a big smile on his face.
Zhang Yuan said he wanted to come early to familiarize himself with the environment and the rhythm of the crew.
Of course Zhao Benshan was happy to do so.
Some people are unwilling to come even if you ask them to.
He was willing to come early and stay a little longer so that he could have someone to talk to.
In addition, Zhang Yuan has a good alcohol tolerance, so Zhao Benshan is worried that no one will accompany him.
Brother Qian was the stream-of-consciousness supporting actor after drinking 18 bottles of beer, forcing Teacher Guo to do somersaults on the stage.
When Zhao Benshan was young and performing Errenzhuan, he once drank four kilograms of white wine before going on stage!
He can walk on the stage without shaking, which shows you how much he can drink.
So when it's rare to see someone who is on par with me, I feel like I'm copying him.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is Director Zhang Yang."
"Hello, Director Zhang." Zhang Yuan nodded politely and shook hands: "We are actually from the same family."
"Hey, hey." Director Zhang nodded with a smile.
His ears are filled with the recent news about this cousin!
At first, Uncle Benshan said he wanted to ask him to make a guest appearance.
Director Zhang was still hesitant.
I wonder if it will work?
Zhang Yuan also suffered from his appearance.
The director took one look and thought this must be an idol.
Our film is full of talented actors, would it be inappropriate?
But it is difficult to refuse Uncle Benshan's face.
So he went to the cinema specifically to watch "Curse of the Golden Flower".
After reading it, he understood.
This is a talented person whose appearance hinders his success.
He can act with those top celebrities without losing out, which definitely shows his level.
I replied to Zhao Benshan and said that I had seen it and this guy was okay.
Later, he heard that the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" was almost 300 million, so Director Zhang went to ask Zhao Benshan again.
"Uncle, will we be unable to use him?"
Zhao Benshan patted his chest.
"It's okay. I'm here for you."
Zhang Yuan didn't ask for any money at all.
And just like "Assembly", the actors' pay in this movie is actually very low.
However, "Assembly" is Feng Xiaogang's face, while this drama is Zhao Benshan's face.
He found half of the guest actors in the film.
Director Zhang Yang is not an unknown newcomer either.
Gao Yuanyuan's famous work "Love Spicy Hot Pot" is the work of this person.
That very famous movie “Showering”… is the one where Jiang Wu played the stupid son, and it was also directed by him.
This person is still very thoughtful.
In 05, a piece of news was published in Southern Weekend.
"The workers carried the corpse for thousands of miles."
This is the prototype of the story "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots".
After seeing this story, director Zhang Yang wrote the script for this play.
In the film, Lao Zhao traveled thousands of kilometers and "almost" transported the body of his co-worker back to his hometown.
In reality, the protagonist planned to transport the bodies of his co-workers from Longyan, Fujian back to Hunan.
But he was discovered by the police as soon as he arrived in Guangdong Province.
The staff at the Guangdong Provincial Railway Station were almost scared to death.
And there is a very tragic background behind this incident.
That is, these workers were actually deceived by the contractor and were not paid.
Feeling depressed, he bought a few pounds of cheap liquor and gave it to one of them, who drank it and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and eventually died.
When these people arrived at the train station, they couldn't even raise enough money to buy tickets.
When the deceased's family members arrived, they insulted and accused the man who carried the body because it was he who took the body out to work.
The director "beautified" these contents.
But the tone of the film is still relatively realistic.
There are only a few excellent road movies famous in China.
There are problems with the production content of "Kekexili". After all, it is suspected of, or even confirmed to be, plagiarism.
"No Man's Land" is dramatic and refreshing enough.
But if we really talk about the one that has the most road movie feel and the most Chinese characteristics, it has to be "Returning to the Roots".
After Zhang Yang and his friends finished the script and found investors, they contacted Uncle Benshan.
But Zhao Benshan was too busy and declined several times.
But Director Zhang still insisted that this role must be played by him!
Uncle Benshan was also very moved by this and managed to squeeze out time to shoot before the New Year.
It turns out that he is the only one who can play this role!
No matter how good the acting is, it won’t be that good.
And what’s interesting is that the first thing Zhao Benshan did when he joined the group was to change his name.
The film was originally called "Falling Leaves".
Uncle Benshan said that the name was too vague, too literary, and not down-to-earth.
It was at his suggestion that the title was changed to "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots".
What is a master-level figure!
Just by adding these two words, the tone of the whole film suddenly changed.
What is the tone of the whole story?
Most of the chivalrous people are butchers, while most of the unfaithful people are scholars!
In the script, anyone who has some money is mostly evil and sinful.
Most poor people are simple and kind, understanding and helping each other.
It doesn’t mean that ordinary people in life are all good people.
Compared with the later TV dramas that vilified the poor and glorified the bourgeoisie,
This film is more in line with the most simple Chinese values.
This is also why the film is suitable for Zhao Benshan.
His sketches always show sympathy and compassion for the poor people.
Just like Stephen Chow’s movies, he always has a natural empathy for the poor.
And there is a rule.
The top comedians are all particularly good at portraying small characters.
Stephen Chow, Zhao Benshan, Chen Peisi, and even Charlie Chaplin are all like this.
Zhang Yuan came early not only to give face to Uncle Benshan, but also to learn more and find opportunities to get to know more experts.
"Have you read the script for the role assigned to you?"
"Of course, I have memorized all the words."
"That's it." Zhao Benshan clapped his hands seriously.
"You're wasting your time. My sister has the exact words, and she's changing them now!"
Zhao Benshan is well-known for his love of performing on the spot.
In fact, Stephen Chow is the same.
Most of the classic lines in "A Chinese Odyssey" were discussed between him and Liu Zhenwei.
"It's okay, I just need the correct words."
“Hehehe…” Teacher Zhao grinned and said, “As expected of you, you are Lao Hou’s apprentice.”
"Can you be more respectful to my master in the future? Stop calling him Old Hou, Old Hou. It makes our Hou family look like they came down from the Flower-Fruit Mountain." Zhang Yuan also joked with him.
"Hehehe." Uncle Benshan gave his signature nasal laugh.
"You are the one who is suitable to go to the Spring Festival Gala with me."
"Forget it. Comedy is too difficult and I don't have the talent for it." Zhang Yuan knew he was joking and declined.
"Yes." Seeing him say that, Teacher Zhao smiled with relief.
"You are an expert."
“Outsiders think comedy is easy.”
"As long as you make people laugh, it's fine. Actually, our job is the most difficult."
"It's hard to make a comedy, and it's even harder to make a comedy that audiences all over the country like."
"It's the most difficult to create a comedy that can pass the Spring Festival Gala review." Zhang Yuan added with a squint.
"Hahaha." Zhao Benshan, who was hit on the heart by what was said, laughed out loud and punched him on the back several times.
The most difficult thing in the world is review.
When they arrived at the place where the actors gathered, Uncle Benshan walked side by side with him, talking and laughing.
"Hey, long time no see."
As soon as I arrived, I heard a charming female voice.
Zhang Yuan, who was joking with Zhao Benshan, turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance.
