Actor: Thank you.

At the end of the month, the movie "Painted Skin" entered the final stage of its broadcast.

The box office of this drama has reached a terrifying 3.2 million!
The reason why it is called "horror" is because of the horizontal comparison.

Not to mention previous years, not to mention the same type, and certainly not to mention foreign ones.

Just looking at this year's domestic film box office rankings, "Painted Skin" has become the leader of the list today!
So far, it is the highest-grossing film of the year!

For Pang Hongle...

Taking the leading actor and director around to run announcements.

Zhang Yuan had his own work to do and didn't participate in half of them.

But he called specifically and said he wanted to hold a celebratory banquet for a thousand people.

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to go.

There were three celebration banquets for this play.

If the box office revenue increases by 100 million, we will ask the media to make a fuss about it.

I have to say, it is effective.

This is the Matthew effect.

We are celebrating because the box office is good.

After the celebration, ordinary audiences will know that the film is a box office success.

Knowing that the movie did well at the box office, I was curious as to why it was so good, so I went to the theater to see it.

This makes the film's box office better...

Cycle like this.

Once the positive cycle is entered, the box office growth curve will be scary to look at.

Later films such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Nezha" are typical examples of this type.

Of course, this momentum can also be created through marketing.

Typical works include "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Hot as Hell".

Marketing costs are more than three times the cost of the film.

Most of the films that should have been released this year have been released.

In addition, Zhang Yimou has "stopped working" for the Olympics, so no works will be released.

Producer Pang Hong even had the ambition to compete for the annual box office champion.

Competitive films like "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon", "Slam Dunk", "The Forbidden Kingdom", and "Crazy Racing" have all been taken off the shelves, and their performance is fixed, which is obviously not as good as this one.

Even Stephen Chow, who was highly expected and had been working on his film for several years, performed mediocrely with "CJ7".

But this is generally aimed at Stephen Chow, and the box office is also over 2 million.

Just because of the subject matter, at first glance it seems a bit too childish, so a large number of viewers stayed away from watching it, and its performance was not as good as "Kung Fu" a few years ago.

But Zhang Yuqi, who played the female teacher in this play, was really beautiful at that time...

Now only the annual works of poet Chen and Feng Xiaogang have yet to be released.

“Does Painted Skin have the confidence to win the annual box office?”

At the third celebration banquet, reporters asked questions.

"Director Chen Kaige's work is about to be released, and we are under great competitive pressure." Pang Hong responded with high emotional intelligence.

But when Zhang Yuan heard this, he almost couldn't hold it back.

Right, right, right, you are under a lot of pressure when facing poet Chen...

Zhang Yuan didn't know whether he was giving face or really believed it.

The play performed by poet Chen that Pang Hong mentioned was the "Mei Lanfang" that Zhang Yuan turned down and did not perform.

If the box office of "Mei Lanfang" can reach 3 million, Zhang Yuan will never touch a woman again in his life!
If the investors of this film can make their money back, Zhang Yuan will abstain from sex for a year.

What is the current status of poet Chen?
He's also a big director.

The overseas copyright can’t even be sold, let alone a big director.

The investor of this drama is China Film Group, also known as Lao Han.

After "The Promise", he continued to invest in him. I have to say, this is what Lao Han is like.

After all, it is the old capital and the old connection with Beijing Film Studio still gave it a chance and invested 100 million yuan.

As a result, the box office is not as high as the cost...

After this film "Mei Lanfang", China Film Group never directly invested in poet Chen again.

Especially after Old Han left, no one paid any attention to him.

Speaking of which, Han Sanpin is also the unhappiest person today.

Because the box office of "Painted Skin" not only surpassed other films, but also surpassed "Red Cliff"...

Old Han’s face is almost peeled off.

Even though the box office of the first half of "Red Cliff" reached 3 million, it was still in a loss-making state.

But it also temporarily ranked first in the annual box office.

This is the result of China Film Corporation devoting all its publicity and promotional resources.

Now, even this temporary first place has been taken away.

The last fig leaf was stripped off by "Painted Skin".

Even the number of pirated downloads surpassed that of "Red Cliff".

However, Han Sanpin was quite generous and called to congratulate.

Zhang Yuan received countless calls of congratulations.

Zeng Jia even found him with a pile of information.

"Boss, more than twenty film crews have handed you scripts."

Zhang Yuan, who had just returned home after finishing the promotional work, blinked at her a few times.

"What's your opinion?"

"Take on more roles while the iron is hot," Zeng Jia vowed.

You still have the same old habit of treating artists like donkeys.

"Put it down, let me take a look." Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it is difficult to change one's nature.

She values ​​"efficiency" more.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuan handed over the newcomers Zhao Liying, Wan Qian and Zhang Tianai to her.

As a newcomer, you have to show your face more often.

To be the donkey handler, you have to be the donkey that the audience is most familiar with.

This is the only way to develop rapidly.

But famous artists are different from newcomers. They need to position themselves accurately and take good care of their reputation when accepting roles or endorsements.

Zhang Yuan understood that these crews chose him because they saw his commercial value.

Needless to say, the fact that he is the leading actor in a commercial film with a box office of 3 million proves that he can sell tickets.

Moreover, these film producers also discovered that among the movies released this year, Zhang Yuan participated in the filming of "The Forbidden Kingdom", "Crazy Racing" and "Painted Skin".

These three works that have been released have one thing in common.

That means the box office revenue of all of them exceeded 100 million!
As long as he is in the movie, the box office will exceed 100 million, no matter if he is the leading actor or the supporting actor.

This proves his box office appeal in many ways.

Movies are made to make money!

Apart from anything else, from a superstitious point of view, there are many investors willing to find him and worship him as a lucky cat.

Don’t disbelieve this, Yang Chaoyue was called koi in later generations.

This title is not only called by the audience, but also by people in the circle.

Because any drama with her in it can be broadcast.

It won’t be unable to be broadcast for various reasons.

"Boss, there's another big endorsement for you!"

Zeng Jia excitedly handed over a document: "Men's ready-to-wear from a luxury brand."

"The price is high and it can also improve the quality."

"Oh, that's good." Zhang Yuan took it with a smile: "What brand is it?"

"Prada."

Zhang Yuan: …

After hearing the name, he put the information down.

You are afraid that I won’t die!
I just talked about taking care of my reputation, and now you give me this.

Never mind, she doesn’t understand.

But Zhang Yuan knew that the DEBUFF ability of the Prada brand was stronger than Xu Qing's!
Basically, whoever endorses it will have his reputation ruined.

In China there are Shuangzi, Li Yifeng, Cai Xukun, Wu Yifan, and Ke Zhendong.

Before "Yilu has you", this brand also found PGONE to endorse it...

Japan and South Korea are no exception. Mei Nagano, the Japanese actress who once dominated the entire Internet with her image of "Fairy Crying", cheated on a married male star after becoming a spokesperson for the actress.

Kim Soo Hyun... not to mention it.

They also signed Bae Joo-hyun and Park Chanyeol from EXO under SM, but the group collapsed in less than a year.

And they were the only two people in the team whose relationship collapsed during this period.

The positioning is quite accurate.

It's just like using a sniper rifle with a scope, every shot is accurate.

So many people say that Prada relies on liquidated damages to boost its performance...

It’s not the case that big brands eat up celebrities.

The key point is that even if two companies fail in a year, the penalty for breach of contract is not enough to cover the performance.

It only shows that there is something wrong with the brand tone and ideological preferences of the management.

Maybe add a little bit of metaphysics.

Zhang Yuan thought, if I accept this endorsement, how much money should I donate to Baiyun Temple to wash away this bad luck?
It cost 50 to spend a night of pleasure with Xu Qing.

The price is a bit high, but from the experience point of view, it can't be said to be completely worth it.

How many people are willing to pay this money and climb into many old ladies' beds.

People don't lack this.

But I took the endorsement just to make money, but ended up having to donate to hedge my risks.

That would be a waste of money.

Then I thought about how I had gained a lot of fame recently because of the movie Painted Skin, and now I was in a very hot period.

The more this happened, the more countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

What if I accept the endorsement of Prada and it really touches on metaphysics, and something bad happens...

That would be the end of it.

"Put it aside for a moment, let me think about it." Zhang Yuan gave instructions. "Ah, I need to think about it." Zeng Jia raised her eyebrows.

This is Prada!
"Boss, this is a top luxury brand..."

Zhang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt.

"First of all, as an agent, my expectation for you is to become a top agent in China."

“To be a top agent, you need to be broad-minded and professional.”

"Prada is not a top luxury brand. If you don't even know this, you can't be a good agent. Don't go out and embarrass me."

Zeng Jia was choked by what he said and stood straight aside.

"Let me put it this way. Anything you can get your hands on and afford is definitely not luxury. Just remember this."

Zhang Yuan deliberately acted more assertive in order to make her understand her responsibilities.

Don't put your own interests above those of the artists.

This determines the height she can reach.

And what she said was indeed wrong, and I don’t know if she was deliberately exaggerating in order to promote the endorsement.

When people mention top luxury brands, they usually refer to jewelry brands such as Bulgari, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels.

For those who sell bags, it is generally difficult for their products to reach the top luxury level.

Hermes, Chanel, and Prada are considered luxury brands.

But in fact, the standard of luxury in the eyes of ordinary people is not correct.

Among the so-called top luxury brands like Bulgari, there are even top luxury brands out there.

Such as HW, DW and GRAFF.

Prada's latest four-character female spokesperson wore a GRAFF outfit for her coming-of-age gift, which cost more than 20 million yuan.

Once again, it proves that Prada has a keen eye.

These top luxury brands have never been heard of by ordinary people, let alone people like Zeng Jia who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

That's not something that ordinary people can access, so they don't even look for celebrities to endorse it.

They serve the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of top wealthy people around the world.

"Boss, I understand!" Zeng Jia pondered for a while and suddenly clapped his hands: "Let's take it easy so we can make an offer, right?"

"You are really good and strategic."

"Keep a calm mind." Zhang Yuan patted her arm.

If you praise someone, he will become arrogant; if you scold him, he will become stupid. He needs more practice.

Just as he was about to explain his thoughts to the other party, his cell phone rang, interrupting their conversation.

"Hey, Zhang Yuan, congratulations."

After answering the phone, a voice that sounded gentle but seemed a little sharp to Zhang Yuan came from the speaker.

What is gentle is the attitude.

Zhang Yuan felt it was sharp.

Because the caller was Chen Kun.

He had received at least a hundred calls of congratulations these days, but this one was the only one that he found a bit jarring.

Zhang Yuan felt guilty for once...

After all, he stole someone's job.

However, with my operation, we have achieved obviously better results.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan no longer felt guilty.

"Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance."

Although Chen Kun agreed very smoothly, he felt jealous in his heart.

My money!
All the achievements he has made now, whether it is the box office of more than 3 million, the overwhelming popularity, or the positive career, should have been mine!

This kind of loss is the most painful.

I feel very sad that I was replaced.

If you find out that the one who was replaced was a great opportunity, you will regret it for half your life.

Just like Hong Jiantao didn’t choose Jia Baoyu.

Xu Huaiyu did not play Liu Piaopiao in "The King of Comedy".

Shu Qi's role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was replaced by Zhang Ziyi.

Sometimes, just one step wrong can mean a lifetime wrong.

Chen Kun was extremely upset when he saw how well Painted Skin performed.

I want to find my "buddy" Zhou Xun to have a drink and chat.

As a result, when I called him, Brother Xun was still talking.

"Oh, I've been so busy lately, running around for the announcements for Painted Skin every day."

"This movie is very popular now, have you seen it?"

"After this movie became popular, my endorsement price went up."

Chen Kun: Am I here to listen to this?

Brother Xun is such a selfish person that she never thought about Kun Kun's feelings at all.

Brother Kun could only find another "buddy" to have dinner with to relieve his emotions.

Li Xiaoran drank with him and listened to his complaints.

But KunKun forgot one thing.

Dabai has already taken on the shape of Zhang Yuan, so how could he still help him speak?
"You said, if I still want to play the role, does that mean I have to be the one since I have so many invitations now?"

Dabai replied while gnawing on the spicy duck neck.

"Not necessarily. If you act, you may not achieve this result."

Chen Kun: !!!
It’s heartbreaking!
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"I have to call and ask when he is free to play with me." Dabai licked his fingers and picked up the phone.

Kunkun’s distress was greatly doubled with the help of his buddies.

After thinking it over, he didn't hate Zhang Yuan that much, but instead hated his agent.

"It's because you are incompetent!"

It sounds good. After working for so many years and being a senior in the industry, in the end, he still couldn't beat a young junior.

I lost such a good opportunity.

I also remembered that Zhang Yuan once said that he would compensate him for his losses if he had the chance.

Seeing how popular the other party has been recently, I feel really jealous.

Wanting to ease the relationship, he took the initiative to contact her.

They haven't been in touch for a long time, and they rely on Dabai to pass on information.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yuan understood the hint in the other party's words.

Just ask him how he is doing lately.

If there is any work that is suitable, you can also find him and other polite words...

"It just so happens that I have a job here that I can give to you."

"But whether you can take it or not depends on your own luck."

"What kind of job?"

"Prada's men's ready-to-wear endorsement."

When Chen Kun heard the brand and the job, his first reaction was to move the phone away from his ear and clean his ear with his little finger.

I was afraid that I had heard it wrong!
It can’t be some domestic imitation brand, the Pulada made in Wenzhou, right?

"you are right……"

"It's that luxury brand." Zhang Yuan replied generously.

I looked around at the people around me, and those in my company all look very unique.

Push Baoqiang and Huang Bo to Prada.

The brand will probably roll its eyes.

Huang Bo is the one who can destroy Baleno, let alone Prada...

Zhu Yawen is relatively healthy and good-looking, but his fame is far from worthy of this brand.

I had no intention of accepting it, so I might as well do you a favor.

After all, he is a man who will... no, he will keep his word.

"Really?" Kun Kun still couldn't believe it.

I'm still arguing with others!

We had a falling out before.

Now people are pushing such a big endorsement to me.

oops...

I wanted to slap myself twice.

Not regretful enough.

What do you think I am doing with my friend?
[Received thanks from Chen Kun, self-confidence +1, appearance +1, dance skills +1! ]

"I'll have my agent contact you and we'll talk later."

"Let me treat you to dinner!"

"talk to you later."

Zhang Yuan put down his phone and turned around to take a look. Zeng Jia's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Such a big endorsement, and you gave it away!
Then wouldn’t the share I got be gone too?
What's going on in my boss's train of thought? Why can't I guess what he's thinking?

“We need to take a long-term view when doing things.”

"I am justified by faith."

"I said I would compensate them, so I have to keep my word."

"That's it for now. Go contact Chen Kun. You two are familiar with each other anyway."

"By the way, you can also ease the tension with your old boss Rong Xinda."

Zeng Jia nodded helplessly.

Such a fatty piece of meat was sent to someone else's table.

"I heard that Rong Xinda has recently recruited several new people, both men and women, handsome men and beautiful women, both have great potential."

"While you're discussing this matter, take a look at the newcomers."

Zhang Yuan has made his words very clear.

Zeng Jia reacted for a moment and then understood.

I understand!
The boss is really good. He is planning to play the long game and catch a big fish! (End of this chapter)
