One person's entertainment

Chapter 74, Make money!
Zhao Wei: "Sister Qinqin, are you and Shen Lingyou in a relationship?"

Jiang Qinqin: "Don't talk nonsense, that's just what the media wrote."

……

Fan Qiaoqiao: "Sister Qinqin, how are the tourists in Shenling?"

Jiang Qinqin: "Very good."

……

Lin Xinru: "Sister Qinqin, how did you and Shen Lingyou know each other?"

Jiang Qinqin: "We, he saved me."

……

After Shen Lingyou and Huo Wenxi left, Jiang Qinqin became the new center of attention and was surrounded by several little girls and asked questions.

Alec Su and Chen Zhipeng are from the Taiwanese circle and once formed a group together. They have a very good relationship. At this moment, they are leaning against the wall, whispering.

"Is he that popular?"

"His new album 'Shen Ling You' has sold over 50 copies in our area, making him the first mainland male singer to achieve this sales volume. Together with the sales of his album 'Heart Too Soft', it has exceeded 100 million copies. He has been the number one on the IFPl weekly sales chart for 14 consecutive weeks until Ren Xianqi's album 'Ren Xiaoyao' was released. Tell me if he is popular or not."

"Tsk, it's still not as good as the album sales of our Little Tigers."

"That's right. When we became popular in Asia, he was only in middle school."

"Come to think of it, we are his predecessors."

"Why, you still want him to serve you tea?"

……

On the other side, He Xiuqiong was reporting to Qiong Yao.

"I talked to his agent, and he declined as well."

"A very firm attitude?"

"Very determined."

"Have you ever asked, what if he was the male lead in 'Tears of Heaven'?"

"Not this one."

"Find some time and give them a call to ask."

……

The first impression is very important to Qiong Yao. If she thinks someone is good, she will look for opportunities to cooperate with them.

Shen Lingyou walked along the path leading away from Prince Gong's Mansion with a ruthless pace, whistling and looking in a good mood.

"The popularity of Wang Jingfei's EP "Toys" has gradually faded. I asked my friends at Cinematheque and learned that her next EP will not be released for two or three months. The promotion of "Yellow Man" is almost done. I have contacted seven radio stations and will release it tomorrow."

Huo Wenxi was also reporting on his work.

Shen Lingyou nodded and thought, I hope I can reach the summit successfully this time.

If anything weird happens again, I'm going to explode.

Probably not. Although "Yellow Man" is a mainstream song, it also has the characteristics of a commercial song and is very competitive in the charts.

At this time, Huo Wenxi said, "Three companies have asked you to shoot commercials, namely Lengshenling toothpaste, Rejoice shampoo and Meiling refrigerator. There are also some commercial performances, such as shopping mall opening ceremonies, company ribbon-cutting events, and personal weddings. As for commercials, I have done research on the products and there is no problem. You can take them. As for commercial performances, some of them will be cheaper. It depends on your willingness."

Shen Lingyou's wallet has been empty recently, and he just wants to make money.

He is just a newcomer who has just debuted and is a little famous. He is not a superstar, so there is no question of whether his value will drop or not. Take it, as long as the money is in place, everything will be fine.

Huo Wenxi also thinks that Shen Lingyou doesn't need to worry too much at the moment and should wait until he truly becomes a first-line star.

To put it simply, don't have the baggage of being a celebrity.

A gentleman loves money but he gets it in a proper way, as long as it does not violate the law or crime, does not go against social order, and does not disrupt public order and good morals.

"I'll make the contact and give you the schedule later."

"Don't take on too many projects. We've already recorded most of the ten songs in our new album Spark. Zhang Wei has also written most of the scripts. We'll start shooting the music video this weekend."

The main reason is that Shen Lingyou also has classes, so his schedule cannot be too full. Firstly, he is too busy, and secondly, he needs to combine work and rest.

Huo Wenxi nodded. Her philosophy as a manager is "artist-centered" rather than "profit-centered", so there will be no such thing as extreme exploitation of artist's value.

"By the way, I have contacted some of the directors and actors you mentioned. Do they need to prepare for the auditions?"

"No, just sign it."

Because the script of "Never Forget" is a resource rewarded by the system task, it is different from regular scripts and will be more detailed, listing the cast list, filming locations, costumes and props.

Therefore, by looking for actors according to the version of the original time and space, the audition process can be completely skipped.

When Huo Wenxi mentioned the preparations for the TV series, Shen Lingyou was more concerned about the funds, so he said, "I just happened to take a day off today. I'll ask Brother Chen out for dinner this afternoon, and then we'll talk about investment. Have you made any progress? Is it hard to find a coal boss?"

Huo Wenxi sighed and said, "Most bosses in Hong Kong believe that the mainland film and television drama market mechanism is not yet sound enough, and the rights and interests of those involved cannot be well protected. So they are all waiting and watching to see if there will be better policies after Hong Kong's return."

She wanted to find a Hong Kong boss to invest, but found that this approach was not feasible.

"As for the coal boss you mentioned, I haven't heard of any who want to invest in film and television dramas yet. Maybe my network of contacts is too narrow. Give me some more time."

"Also, I think we can release some information to the media. After the report is out, we'll see if anyone comes looking for us."

She tried her best to think of various solutions.

Shen Lingyou also knew that she had just started in the mainland, her circle was small, and she knew few people, so it would not be easy. He then said, "Take your time, don't rush. If it really doesn't work, just wait until my new album is released, and I will invest myself."

Once the drama "Never Forget You" becomes famous in the film and television circles, there will be no shortage of investment in the future.

Actually, it’s not so bad, because they all used cheap ones. He himself, Zeng Xiaolai, Yu Feihong, Zhao Baogang, You Yong, Sun Honglei... it was about 1000 or 2000 per episode.

In "My Fair Princess", Jiang Qinqin and Su Youpeng made 2000 per episode, Fan Qiaoqiao, Ruby Lin, Zhou Jie, and Chen Zhipeng made 1800 per episode. The highest paid actor was Zhao Lijuan, who played Concubine Ling, at 5000 per episode.

By this calculation, 5 or 600 million would be about right.

Moreover, modern dramas use more economical costumes and props than ancient costume dramas, and can also use advertising placement to make up for the loss.

correct!

Advertising placement!

It was like a ray of hope after a dark period. Shen Lingyou laughed and said, "How could I forget this!"

Huo Wenxi was startled by him and asked, "What did you forget?"

Shen Lingyou had a bright smile on his face and said, "We can talk to Dabao, Aido, or even the Lengshenling toothpaste, Rejoice shampoo, and Meiling refrigerator you just mentioned about advertising placement, naming, and sponsorship. The money is not small, and then I can invest some, and Brother Chen can invest some, isn't that enough?"

In the afternoon, at Dasanyuan Restaurant.

Shen Lingyou has become addicted to Cantonese cuisine recently. Who says there is no delicious food in Yanjing? The Cantonese cuisine here is pretty good.

Chen Jiantian also likes this restaurant. Before, he was afraid that Chen Jiantian would not be able to get used to Cantonese food, so he always took him to the Hua Xia Hotel.
