Chapter 286 The Poorest Top Star

The morning worship is finished.

Kim Ki-hyeon drove Lee Ji-eun to a ski resort near Seoul.

As soon as I got off the car, the wind was cold and snowflakes were flying.

Both of them put on thick down jackets.

Wearing a hat and scarf, I was fully armed to resist the cold.

Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's cute appearance and couldn't help but rub her head with his hand and said with a smile:

“Jieun, you look so cute in this outfit.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhien shook her head proudly and said:
"If you dare to fall down on the ski slope, I will laugh at you for the rest of my life."

Jin Qixuan laughed and said:
"Then be careful, or I'll make you laugh first."

……

The two chatted and laughed as they took the cable car to the top of the slope.

As it was New Year's Day, the ski resort was crowded and bustling.

Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun found a relatively open area and began practicing skiing.

As a novice skier.

The two people's performance was quite funny.

Despite some stumbles in the process.

But they still had fun and enjoyed this special afternoon.

sunset.

The lovers said goodbye reluctantly.

After all, it is the first day of the new year, and I must spend time with my family.

After dinner.

Jin Qixuan sat on the sofa watching TV with his grandmother while checking the messages on his mobile phone.

I didn't check my phone for just one day, and there were a bunch of text messages lying quietly in it.

When checking mobile phone messages.

Jin Qixuan found some text messages from unfamiliar names.

Some of them even included some artists he didn't know.

The contents of these text messages are similar.

Most of them expressed the desire to get to know him and seek opportunities for cooperation, mixed with some nice words.

However, for such text messages.

Jin Qixuan adopted an attitude of ignoring it.

Even if the other party calls, he will choose not to answer.

He always adheres to the principle of not replying or answering calls.

This avoids unnecessary communication.

After all, we are all adults.

The other party should be able to understand what he means and will not bother him again after a few times.

Jin Qixuan is not afraid of offending people because of this.

After all, those who really want to cooperate with him will send him a cooperation invitation through his agent Sheng Bingxu.

Those who really want to make friends with him will ask mutual friends to act as go-betweens to introduce them.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan does not want to waste too much of his personal time on socializing with strangers.

"Qixuan, come and help me move in a few days."

Over there, after washing the dishes, Kim Jong Kook handed Kim Ki-hyeon an apple.

Jin Qixuan took the apple, took a bite, and said:
"Ah? Can't we just find a moving company?"

“Yes, I am looking for you, but you have to show up to record the show.”

"Program? What program?"

"My Unfair Child invited me to be a regular guest, and the first episode I filmed was "Independence Notes."

"Independence Record is...?"

"Thanks to you, I will step out of the comfort zone of your grandmother's care and handle housework, cooking, and moving by myself. The program team will record the whole process and show it to the audience."

"Oh..." Jin Qixuan understood, then turned to his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, you will be on the show too, right?"

"Yeah, this is my first time on TV."

Grandma's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and she was obviously very happy about the opportunity to be on TV.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan also laughed and turned to Jin Zhongguo and said:
"So, I'm going to have to appear on this show more often in the future."

Kim Jong Kook laughed and patted Kim Ki Hyun on the shoulder:

"Of course, our main purpose is to show real life, without the constraints of a script."

"Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate then."

Jin Qixuan nodded and agreed.

……

The next day.

Snowflakes fall quietly.

This bustling city is decorated like a poem and a painting.

Jin Qixuan's schedule for that day was as dense as the snowflakes.

He travels through various commercial areas in downtown Seoul.

Meet with representatives of major brands to discuss advertising endorsement renewals and new endorsements.

Today's Jin Qixuan is no longer the rookie he was two years ago.

His advertising endorsement value has skyrocketed and he has become a leader in the industry.

The title of No. 2017 on the Forbes Celebrity List speaks for itself.

So.

For those brands that are willing to increase prices to renew contracts.

He expressed his gratitude and continued to maintain a good working relationship with them.

And for those brands that are unwilling to renew their contracts.

He didn't think too much about it and broke up peacefully.

Basically, the contract with Jin Qixuan will not be renewed.

These are all food endorsements that he took after the popularity of "Reply 1988".

Such as hot sauce, lactic acid bacteria, pizza, fried chicken, potato chips, etc.

Those brands that still choose to renew their contracts with Jinqixuan are mostly in the clothing and cosmetics categories.

In this field, Jin Qixuan's influence is unparalleled.

It may not be difficult to find a new spokesperson.

However, it is by no means easy to achieve the kind of influence and effect that Jin Qixuan has brought to people's hearts.

After all, Jin Qixuan is now a fashion trendsetter.

His appearances at events and his daily outfits have supported many UP hosts.

Every issue of the magazines she shoots is enthusiastically sought after.

Sales have hit new highs, and the supply is even in short supply, so more printing is needed.

Therefore, among the male artists in the Peninsula fashion circle.

Jin Qixuan's position in the fashion industry can be said to be unique.

GD, the only one who could fight him, went to serve in the military.

Therefore, no merchant is willing to let go.

For the brand, being able to renew the contract with Jinqixuan is undoubtedly a guarantee.

After all, there is no industry that is not volatile in the peninsula.

If they don't renew Jin Qixuan's contract.

Then the next day.

Jin Qixuan will definitely appear on the official websites of other competitors.

The contract renewal negotiation process was quite pleasant.

For example, the two skin care products under Amorepacific (Etude House and IOPE) and k.swiss sportswear have increased from 3 million/year to 6 million/year.

Other endorsement fees that have already been capped, such as J.estina perfume and GM sunglasses, have been renewed at the original price of 10 billion per year.

In addition, the endorsement fee from Zenith watches has also come down, 20 billion per year.

Gucci's endorsement fee also increased from 13.5 billion to 20 billion per year.

Excluding some endorsement contracts that have not yet expired.

Jin Qixuan earned 2018 billion in 102 just from advertising renewals.

And this is only a part of his income.

As for those brands that want to start new cooperation with Jin Qixuan.

Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity.

They sent representatives to contact Jin Qixuan's agent Sheng Bingxu.

I hope to get the opportunity to cooperate with Jin Qixuan.

Sheng Bingxu also began to busy himself in shuttling between various meetings.

After careful consideration and comparative analysis.

Ultimately, Jin Qixuan took on three high-profile new endorsements.

They are KB Finance, Ziozia Men's Ready-to-Wear and AliExpress.

The financial industry is just like Samsung and the alcohol industry, only those who are popular and influential can take over.

Ziozia men's ready-to-wear is a local brand of custom-made clothing that has long collaborated with top stars such as Jang Dong-gun and Won Bin.

As for AliExpress, Hangzhou’s Ma was impressed by Jin Qixuan’s influence and asked him to help further expand overseas markets.

The endorsement fee is naturally not low.

The three new endorsements add up to 26 billion.

Plus previous advertising renewal revenue.

Jin Qixuan’s advertising revenue in 2018 has reached 128 billion.

This does not include his income as an actor.

Even though the pay was not much.

Last year, at the peak of Jin Qixuan's career, he had 30 advertising endorsements.

It can be said that the scenery is infinite.

But after this renewal, the number of endorsements he had dropped to 24.

Although the number has decreased.

But this does not mean that his commercial value is reduced.

On the contrary, the quality of the brands he endorses has improved.

After deducting taxes and commissions, he received 51 billion.

Count the remaining income from last year.

Kim Ki-hyeon now has nearly 90 billion won in liquid cash on hand.

This considerable wealth made him feel very satisfied.

There was even a moment when I wanted to lie down.

However, after the money arrived.

Jin Qixuan immediately transferred 50 billion to Li Zhien.

at the same time.

Lee Ji-eun also received the transfer.

Speaking of which, it was last year when Jin Qixuan celebrated his birthday.

She also asked Bae Suzy for advice on what birthday gift to give him.

Bae Suzy jokingly suggested that Lee Ji-eun give him a promissory note for 50 billion won, which would definitely make him happy.

But unfortunately, I didn’t write a promissory note at that time.

Besides, she is not a fool.

There is no reason not to give up 50 billion.

In the end, Lee Ji-eun followed Bae Suzy's serious advice.

She dressed herself up to be beautiful, charming and dazzling.

Give it to him as a gift.

The effect is, of course, self-evident.

After receiving the money, IU didn't say much.

I just simply replied, I'll buy you oysters in the evening.

Jin Qixuan: “…”

After paying back the money to Lee Ji-eun, Kim Ki-hyun paid back 30 billion won to Kim Jong-kook.

In fact, it stands to reason.

Kim Jong Kook's money may or may not be returned.

After all, he is the only child in the family.

He is also the only heir to Kim Jong Kook's property today.

But even as a family, we should maintain financial independence.

What's more, what if he gets married and has children in the future?

It also avoids any financial disputes that may arise in the future.

Therefore, he returned Kim Jong Kook's 30 billion without hesitation.

As for the remaining 20 billion, we’ll talk about it later when we have money.

Kim Jong Kook after receiving the money.

I sent him 10 voice messages of 60 seconds in total on KakaoTalk.

Jin Qixuan didn't listen at all.

There is no desire to even order.

After that, Jin Qixuan donated 2 million to charity as usual.

Next, 3 million in property taxes were paid.

Finally, there was only 5 million left in the bank card.

Jin Qixuan fell into deep thought.

Although it's not much, it's enough to maintain daily life.

What's more, he is about to join the group.

Not only did he not have to spend any money on food and drink for half a year, but he also received 2.5 million yuan in film pay.

Oh, I suddenly feel a little sad.

As one of the top artists in the peninsula, he has ended up like this.

It’s not as much as what Shuangzi earns in a day.

……

That night.

Li Zhien really prepared a big pot of oysters for Jin Qixuan, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"you……"

Looking at the oysters in front of him, Jin Qixuan was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Li Zhien blinked and said, "What's wrong?"

"Are you sure I can finish all these oysters?"

"This is an oyster feast specially prepared for you to thank you for paying me back. Don't worry, I have a way to make sure you finish it."

After saying that, Lee Ji-eun lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing the black stockings hidden underneath.

"..."

Jin Qixuan looked at Li Zhien's actions and was suddenly speechless.

Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun smiled proudly and started to peel oysters for Kim Ki-hyeon.

Then she smiled and fed it to his mouth:
"Open your mouth, ah..."

"..."

Wait until you are halfway through eating.

Li Zhien suddenly said:
"By the way, I'm going to join the group tomorrow."

Jin Qixuan asked in surprise: "So fast?"

"Yeah, it'll take five months to shoot."

Li Zhien said a little depressed.

"Will it take a long time before we meet again?"

After hearing this, Jin Qixuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Even the oysters in my mouth no longer taste good.

During the five months of filming, Lee Ji-eun also had many other schedules mixed in.

Jin Qixuan also has to join the crew to film.

According to this situation, the two may not see each other for half a year.

Li Zhien felt a little bit reluctant when she saw Jin Qixuan's lost look.

She stretched out her fingers, gently pinched Jin Qixuan's cheek, and smiled:

"Don't be sad. Although we have to be apart for a while, we can still call and text each other often."

"Well...you'll miss me, right?"

"Well~" Li Zhien dragged out the last word, blinked, and said playfully: "It depends on your performance tonight."

When Jin Qixuan heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened and the feeling of loss in his heart disappeared.

He put his arm around Li Zhien's waist, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Then you must enjoy my service tonight."

……

After meal.

The two of them watched a 19-rated movie together and flirted.

As night falls.

The cold wind howled outside the window, but inside the house it was as warm as spring.

The next morning.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and falls on the two of them.

Jin Qixuan gently opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhien who was still sleeping beside him, his heart filled with reluctance.

He gently got up, covered Lee Ji-eun with the quilt, and walked out of the bedroom.

After busying himself in the kitchen for a while, he prepared a simple breakfast for Lee Ji-eun.

After Lee Ji-eun got up and washed up, the two sat at the dining table together to enjoy breakfast.

Although the atmosphere is a bit heavy.

But both of them tried their best to keep the atmosphere light and happy.

After breakfast.

Kim Ki-hyeon drove Lee Ji-eun to the crew.

The two of them stayed silent throughout the journey, enjoying each other's company in silence.

After arriving at the crew.

Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun hugged each other tightly in the car, unable to part.

"Jie Eun, I will miss you."

Jin Qixuan whispered in Li Zhien's ear.

Li Zhien looked up at Jin Qixuan, her eyes full of affection, and responded gently:

"I will always miss you too. You should focus on filming and take care of yourself."

The two hugged each other for a while, and then reluctantly separated.

Jin Qixuan watched Li Zhien walk into the door of the crew until her figure disappeared from his sight.

Then he drove away.

Go home.

Jin Qixuan packed up simply and went to shoot KB Finance's New Year calendar.

As the filming began, Jin Qixuan quickly got into the state.

……

A week later.

KB Finance finally felt what the Jin Qixuan effect is.

Within just one week of the official announcement, the number of active users of the APP has rapidly increased to nearly 500,000.

Not to mention that Jin Qixuan calendars are out of stock.

KB Finance, which originally only expected to increase its brand awareness through Jin Qixuan's influence, is now overjoyed.

They didn't expect that Jin Qixuan's appeal was so strong.

Just one week brought such remarkable results.

Looking at the rising number of active users and sales, the senior executives of KB Finance couldn't stop smiling.

They all expressed.

This cooperation with Jin Qixuan was so successful, and we must continue to deepen our cooperative relationship with him in the future.
