Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 77 Liu Yan's Fresh Milk Ham

I thought Jin Chen was just joking, but I didn't expect that he and Liu Yan would really come to Zuibai Studio early the next morning.

Cheng Xi was still sleeping when he received a call from Li Wentao, saying that two beautiful women came to see the boss.

So Cheng Xi excitedly jumped up from the bed with a "bang".

He washed, dressed, and arrived at the studio in no time.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw them both looking around carefully, and it was obvious that they were very interested in Cheng Xi's studio.

But Cheng Xi didn't have the time to act as their tour guide, so he immediately asked Jin Chen and Liu Yan to go into his office to discuss business.

When Jin Chen and Liu Yan first saw Cheng Xi, they remembered what happened that night and felt a little embarrassed.

Only Cheng Xi acted as if nothing had happened, which made them sigh that there are indeed differences between people.

After all, not everyone can be as thick-skinned as Cheng Xi.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you guys to actually come together. But isn't this a bit too exciting in broad daylight?"

When Cheng Xi saw that both of them were wearing huge sunglasses and fashionable clothes and sitting in front of him, he felt itchy again.

After saying that, he stretched out his hands, placed his left hand on Jin Chen's hand, and his right hand on Liu Yan's hand.

Both hands are as green as green onions, with long and beautiful nails on the fingertips.

It feels so good to touch.

Who knows, Cheng Xi just put it on and hasn't felt it properly yet.

They both smiled and pulled their hands back.

"Boss Cheng, I'm here for that today."

Jin Chen said seriously.

"Yes, that's it. It's 8 o'clock in the morning. It's getting late. Let's hurry up."

"We're here to sign the contract."

After Jin Chen finished speaking, he deliberately took off his sunglasses and winked at Cheng Xi.

"Fuck, then why did you sign the contract and bring Liu Yan with you?"

"I asked Sister Liu Yan to come with me because I was afraid someone would bully me and make me suffer."

"I will only let you suffer, how could I let you suffer? You think too much."

"Pah, obscene."

Jin Chen has learned bad habits and now understands things immediately.

Or did she already understand it?

"Sister Yan, didn't you say you would reward me well? Today is worse than tomorrow. How about today?"

"How do you want me to reward you?"

Liu Yan also winked at Cheng Xi with a smile.

"You know I love fresh milk ham the most."

"Disgusting~"

Liu Yan said shyly, "Then should I give it to you now?"

"Now? Tsk, that would be great."

Cheng Xi almost drooled, wiped his saliva and said.

Alas, forgive me for being so useless.

Who knew that Liu Yan seemed to be unable to hold back her laughter, and took out a takeaway box from the side and said:
"Here, I know you college students like to sleep in, so I brought you some breakfast—fresh milk and some pancakes with lots of ham in them. You can take your time eating."

"."

Damn. Who the hell eats ham? What I want to eat is your milk and my ham!

Looking at Cheng Xi's dazed and deflated expression, Jin Chen and Liu Yan couldn't help laughing so hard that they were shaking.

I guess you all are here to make fun of me today, right?

"Um, are you guys sleepy? I am sleepy. I'm going back to the academy to continue sleeping."

As Cheng Xi spoke, he stood up as if he was really going to leave.

Seeing that Cheng Xi refused to listen, Jin Chen started to act like a rogue.

So he said:

"Boss Cheng, can you please be more serious? What are you thinking about all day long? I really doubt whether such a good play as "The Loser" was written by you."

"You know best if I wrote it. If you didn't harass me every day, I could write better."

"Sister Liu Yan, look at Cheng Xi. He is simply... he is simply shameless."

Jin Chen was a little out of breath after being scolded by Cheng Xi.

Just one stick away from hitting the bottom
Sorry, I wrote it wrong.
I will skip 57,000 words for now and write it for you next time.

Hearing Cheng Xi and Jin Chen bickering, Liu Yan came in to smooth things over:

"Alright, stop bickering, Cheng Xi. Hurry up and sign my sister Jin Chen. It's such a lucrative deal, why don't you do it quickly? Look at her long legs, beautiful face, and thin waist. They will all be yours in the future."

I have such small breasts.
"Give her a better contract as a newcomer and don't treat her unfairly."

Finally, when it came to business, Cheng Xi asked Li Wentao to draft a new contract for Jin Chen.

Because she will be appearing in "Diaosi Men" soon, and she has a good foundation in dance and has won the championship in domestic professional dance competitions, her contract is not as demanding as Zhang Tianai's.

It is considered a mid-level contract among newcomer contracts, with a term of eight years and less compensation than Zhang Tianai's.

Although Cheng Xi said yesterday that they couldn't cross the line and that the contractual relationship must be clean, he still took some care of her because of her gentle comfort that night and Liu Yan's face.

Even Li Wentao looked at the boss as if he understood something.

The boss likes this new guy named Jin Chen better than Zhang Tianai.

After signing the contract and eating the fresh milk and ham that Liu Yan brought him, Cheng Xi sent them out.

After coming back, I saw Jin Xiaoluo also came to work.

But the way Jin Xiaoluo looked at him was as if she was seeing some kind of peep show. Her exaggerated expression made Cheng Xi think she had met an alien.

Jin Xiaoluo just called out "Boss", turned her head away, blushed, and started working in front of the computer without saying a word.

The workload of publicity recently is indeed quite heavy.

Just as Cheng Xi was thinking this, Li Wentao suddenly looked at him with an uncertain expression.

Seeing that Cheng Xi looked a little confused, he pointed to his cheek to remind Cheng Xi.

Now Cheng Xi realized that when the two of them were about to leave.

Cheng Xi pretended to be very angry, saying that they had made him sleep deprived and now they had tricked him into signing a good contract, but now he was leaving.

What's going on?

So Jin Chen and Liu Yan both gave him a cute look and gave him a light kiss on the cheek in a displeased manner.

It can be considered as giving Cheng Xi some interest.

Thinking of their fiery red lips and cute looks, Cheng Xi wondered if his office was a little small.

I need to change to a bigger one as soon as possible, otherwise I won’t be able to fully display my skills.

When he thought of this, Cheng Xi came to Jin Xiaoluo and said to her fiercely:

"You have to keep this a secret from Reba, okay?"

"If Reba knew, you'd be in trouble. I have no one else to seduce, so I have to seduce you."

When Jin Xiaoluo heard this, her face turned pale and she nodded vigorously! The ponytail and the snow also swayed up and down.

But Xiao Luo, there's something wrong with you. I'm talking to you about sex, but you keep nodding?

During this period, Cheng Xi also talked to Liu Yan about filming a commercial and asked her to free up a day to shoot a few commercials.

When "Diaosi Men" was broadcast on Tuesday, Cheng Xi had already discussed with Mr. Zeng the method of inserting advertisements into "Diaosi Men".

Because there are already many sponsors waiting outside with sponsorship fees.

Especially some companies that had previously cooperated with Cheng Xi on the "Wanwan" advertisement, they all tasted the sweetness, so when "Diaosi Nanren" was broadcast, they began to pay close attention to the ratings of this drama.

At first glance, it was even more powerful than "Wan Wan" and almost made him and Sohu's phones explode.

This also includes a bathhouse chain and the Coconut Tree Group, and we are also actively contacting them.

Qiao Shan was specifically asked to endorse a bathing advertisement, and Xu Dongdong was asked to endorse a beverage advertisement for the Coconut Tree Group.

Originally, Zeng always wanted to simply apply the advertising placement method in "Wan Wan", but Cheng Xi suggested a more novel approach.

That is to say, let the important characters in the play advertise the products, making it similar to the small theater in later generations.

If it is controlled within ten seconds, it will not feel abrupt and can give the brand better publicity effect.

That is definitely more effective than just a few lines of text or a few seconds of advertising, and it will provide more comprehensive exposure to the product.

At least everyone can see what the product looks like in the show.

And it has been grafted with the hot stars in the drama, so the effect will definitely be better.

So this time they also raised the price, which is what Cheng Xi wanted.

Because his current income is directly linked to advertising fees, otherwise why would he meddle in other people's business?

The price Cheng Xi quoted to the advertiser was two advertisements per episode, one in the middle and one at the end.

The sponsorship fee for the middle ad space is 100 million yuan each, and the effect of the ad at the end is slightly worse, at 70 yuan each.

In this way, the advertisements for the next 9 episodes have all been booked out in the past few days.

Just waiting for everyone to start filming immediately.

However, this model will definitely give some share to the actors who participate in the filming of the commercial.

After discussing with Mr. Zeng, Cheng Xi decided to give 5% of the sponsorship fee to the actors. If the actors felt it was too little, other people would be used. The amount could not exceed this amount.

After all, 5% of one million is not a small amount, not to mention there are several advertisements.

Cheng Xi's side is still 50%, and Sohu Video's is 45%.

Because of the foreseeable great success of "Diaosi Nanren", the goal of 2 million clicks can be easily achieved.

Therefore, Mr. Zeng also said very generously:

The actors' fees and the costs of shooting commercials are all covered by Sohu.

This made Cheng Xi sigh that Mr. Zeng was indeed a man who could accomplish great things!
That afternoon, Sohu Video was very efficient and immediately assembled a team to shoot the commercial.

Most of them are from the crew of "The Loser". They gathered together again this time and the atmosphere was very good.

They were all beaming with joy, feeling happy that their works were liked by the public and became a hit.

Dapeng continues to be a director. This afternoon he first shot commercials for Johnson Bath City and Xu Dongdong Coconut Juice.

These two are big sponsors, so of course they have to be served in the front row.

As for Dapeng and Liu Yan’s advertisements, they are scheduled for tomorrow.

As soon as Qiao Shan saw Cheng Xi, he hurried over to thank him profusely.

Of course he remembered that audition. When no one was optimistic about him, it was Cheng Xi who took the initiative to choose him.

Otherwise, he would not have had this opportunity to perform, nor would he have become the well-known "Big Sword".

With such popularity, an actor usually has no worries in his life as long as he doesn't do anything stupid.

You can make a living by taking on a few similar roles, participating in some variety shows, or filming some comedies like "The Lost Man".

As for whether there will be better development in the future, it depends on the actor's own efforts and luck.

"Teacher Zuibai, besides thanking you, I know you have a studio. I wonder if there's any room for me to squeeze in."

Qiao Shan said this very cautiously and modestly.

In fact, many agencies have wanted to sign him these days, but he refused all of them. He wanted to see if Mr. Zuibai was willing to take him first.

"You're so popular right now, I'll definitely make a profit if I sign you. But I don't have the resources to support you right now, so you have to think carefully. You might suffer a loss if you follow me. After all, you're at the peak of your popularity right now, so it's best to strike while the iron is hot."

Cheng Xi told Qiao Shan the truth, because he really had no plans to support any male actor at the moment.

All the blood and essence in his body was sucked away by the female artist.

Actor or something, that's something.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Shan still said firmly:

"Teacher Zuibai, I've thought it over and I still want to join your studio. I also want to sign the contract for this advertising sponsorship fee under the name of an artist from Zuibai Studio."

Cheng Xi was indeed surprised to hear Qiao Shan say this.

If you simply want to join his studio, he can understand that.

After all, my future resources will not be bad. I have achieved such success at such a young age.

Follow, it's only a matter of time before you come to the fore.

However, the sponsorship contract was signed directly in the name of the artist from Zuibai Studio, which meant that most of the advertising money was given to Cheng Xi.

This made Cheng Xi's eyes flash, and he finally agreed.

After all, Cheng Xi still appreciates this behavior of actively moving closer to the organization.

Cheng Xi didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars, whether it was money or not.

The resources are there, we'll just share them when the time comes.

Besides, I can also plan a path for him, and it will definitely be profitable to sign this actor.

And this can also show themselves that Zuibai Studio does not only sign actresses, after all, that will give people a bad impression.

Especially since Jin Chen was signed this morning.

What would Reba think?
As an LS, I should sign some good-looking actresses and avoid causing any trouble.

Having a man can not only neutralize the negative energy in the studio, but also provide cover for herself and block the attacks at critical moments.

Cheng Xi has taken future matters into consideration.

Not long after chatting with Qiao Shan, I asked him to go shoot the commercial first.

By the evening, Qiao Shan's bath commercial was finally finished.

After everyone had dinner at the bath city, they had to change the venue to shoot the coconut milk Xu Dongdong commercial.

Because the fourth episode is about to be aired, we have to speed up the progress.

When Xu Dongdong saw that Teacher Cheng Xi had also arrived, he immediately ran over to thank Cheng Xi.

He was expressing his gratitude with his eyes full of enthusiasm.

It felt like if the crew weren't there, she would immediately commit suicide.

Alas, once a man has charm, this is where the problem lies.

Damages the kidneys.

Looking at the comparable career lines of Xu Dongdong and Liu Yan, Cheng Xi couldn't help but think dirty thoughts:
How about, if I can’t drink the fresh milk in the morning, can I have a cup in the evening instead?

(Did you get the wrong idea after seeing the title? You should know that I am a serious author~)
