Chapter 38 Xiaopang doesn’t want to be a maid anymore

After returning home, Lu Jiang and Lao Lu reviewed the investment.

The increase from 19% to 34% was an unexpected but reasonable surprise.

Lao Lu was very satisfied with this.

With this investment, he felt that he would be able to recover all his ancestral property within a year at most.

Although the investment money was still paid by Lu Jiang, the equity was also under Lu Jiang's name.

But Lao Lu didn't care. After all, he was the one who found the project, so he was the great contributor to the Lao Lu family.

Lu Jiang also gave Lao Lu a thumbs up for this, and then suggested that he should just set up a venture capital company in the future.

Overall, this negotiation was rather hasty and involved taking advantage of opportunities.

The contract signing process was also carried out by a legal team temporarily supported by Zhou Jianhui.

It would be fine to use this kind of foreign aid once or twice, but will they all be borrowed temporarily in the future?

So let's just put the investment issue on the table and do everything in a formal way.

"You will be an angel investor in the future, Lu Lao Tianshi."

"It's a resounding name!"

Lao Lu agreed with this and immediately started naming the venture capital company, "How about calling it Ping An Venture Capital? It means making a lot of money safely and peacefully. This has a perfect meaning!"

Lu Jiang shook his head: "It has the same name as Ping An Group."

"Then we'll call it Lujiang Investment and just use your name."

"Don't show off your wealth, Dad!"

"That's right." Lu Jianguo touched his chin and thought for a long time. Then his eyes lit up. "I got it. How about calling it Qidian?"

“.Starting point?!” Lu Jiang: (ω)!

"The word 'qi' in 'qifa' doesn't mean 'qi', but 'qidian', which symbolizes the beginning of a journey. Besides the meaning of the beginning of things, 'qidian' also symbolizes the starting point of a musical journey. You started your family through music, and without your music, our family wouldn't have been revived, so 'qidian' is the right word for you."

"You are quite cultured."

"Of course, I went to college, too. So, is this a good name?"

"Okay, let's call it Qidian Venture Capital."

After the name was decided, the task of formally establishing the company was left to Lao Lu.

As a former rich second-generation, Lao Lu still has great potential for personal connection.

Now Lu Jiang has become a celebrity again. As long as Lao Lu doesn't waste time, he will have plenty of high-end and reliable connections.

Sure enough, after Lao Lu called his friend for consultation, he learned the rules soon after he got home.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go and talk."

"Row."

Lao Lu went out again, while Lu Jiang returned to the room and took out the treasure chest.

The green treasure chest from Wang Changtian.

Too bad I couldn't upgrade.

But it doesn't matter, it can be synthesized anyway.

Then, with a thought, a green light flashed.

Lu Jiang took a quick glance and ignored it.

This show has a pretty good cast.

Starring Chen Hao, Li Liqun and Wang Gang.

But it's no use.

The drama is average and the performance is average.

I definitely won’t take a picture of it.

Being treated as a synthetic spare tire is the final destination.

Of course, you can also scan it when you have nothing to do as a pastime.

Starting from the next day, Lu Jiang officially entered the production stage of a new album.

This new album is named "Lu Jiang: Chinese Style". It is obvious that the new album focuses on Chinese style.

Warner has set up a huge production and promotion plan for this purpose.

In terms of production, Warner invited the well-known visual designer Chen Yaochuan to fully control the overall visual design of the new album.

Lu Jiang is still in charge of the MV and sound effects, and several experts from Warner are also involved.

It can be said that the external design of the entire album has been comprehensively improved compared to "Lu Jiang".

Of course, the most important thing about the new album is the songs.

In this regard, Lu Jiang encountered a small problem.

"The Golden Melody Awards have new rules. Entries must have eight songs."

Zhou Jianhui brought new news to Lu Jiang.

Eight songs must be sung by the contestants. It is not acceptable to have an album like "Fairy Tale" with 10 songs, where 9 of them are cannon fodder songs sung by others.

So now, if Lu Jiang wants to participate in next year's Golden Melody Awards, he must prepare two more songs.

Do you want to run for election?
it is necessary.

If you want to be a superstar, how can you do it without major awards?

So he not only wants to win the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards and this year's MTV Awards in mainland China, but he even wants to win the Hong Kong Jade Solid Gold Awards.

It’s a pity that the golden finger is not given to Cantonese songs, so this idea can only be put aside for the time being.

In addition to this, Zhou Jianhui said that next year's Golden Melody Awards will not only have the new 8 song requirements, but will also add a Best Music Video Award.

Warner also contributed a lot to the establishment of the new award.

At present, many people in the industry even believe that this award can basically be understood as being set up specifically for Lu Jiang.

After all, Lu Jiang's MV is unique in the industry.

There is no intention of mockery or jealousy here.

On the contrary, everyone recognizes Lu Jiang's use of MVs to promote the development of the music industry.

On a small scale, there is nothing wrong with competing with each other for sales and popularity.

On a broader level, as long as someone brings it up and there is data to support it, no one will ignore Lu Jiang’s role, let alone oppose it. No one wants to be labeled as having no vision.

Since everyone is not trying to sabotage you and is even praising you, then Lu Jiang will naturally accept this "Outstanding Contribution" medal with a generous heart, adding a touch of value to the title of King of Pop.

anyway.

Currently there are only 6 songs in the new album.

Lu Jiang calculated that theoretically he could still get two more songs, namely Fan Binbin's "Be the Female Lead in the Hit Song" purple treasure box and Gao Xixi's "Do a Good Job in the Graduation Project" blue treasure box.

Adding another song "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" can make up the number.

After thinking about it, Lu Jiang said, "I'll write something in the next few days."

"Got an idea?"

"There are plenty of drafts, all that's missing is polish."

"I can rest assured that."

"Don't worry so soon. If I don't think it's okay, I won't put it in."

"What about other people's songs? Would you like to sing? I've prepared some for you."

"Let me try it myself first. By the way, please send an invitation to Qiong Yao's company and invite Fan Binbin to be the female lead in the music video for the title song."

Fan Binbin has already said that Qiong Yao's company encouraged her to cooperate with her, so this time she naturally cannot do private work like she did with "Fairy Tale".

Therefore, it is best to do everything in a formal manner.

"Okay, what about Xiaoyanzi? Their agents have also sent us invitations for collaboration."

"They haven't contacted me directly. It seems they're not sincere. Forget it!"

"Row"

Zhou Jianhui didn't insist.

Lu Jiang obviously didn't like these two people, so there was no need to force it.

Besides, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are very popular, which is a great help to other singers, but not necessarily to Lu Jiang. If things go wrong, the powerful combination may not work and Lu Jiang may even suffer a loss, which would not be good.

On the other side, in the BJ advertising subsidiary of Qiong Yao Company in Beijing, Fan Binbin looked at the latest quotation from the brand in front of him and sighed.

The brand name is Sanjin Zinc Gluconate Oral Solution.

This is her first endorsement advertisement in her career.

Before noon today, the other party offered an endorsement fee of 30 yuan a year, for a two-year contract.

It seems like a lot, but the starting price for Xiaoyanzi is 80, and the starting price for Ziwei is 60.

In other words, these two have already endorsed similar competing products, and now it is Fan Binbin's turn.

Moreover, it took many days of negotiation before the other party agreed to pay the 30 yuan.

Of course, Fan Binbin was not convinced at first.

Although they are the two protagonists, Jinsuo is also quite popular, so why are the quotes so different!
But the reasons given by the other party are also very powerful.

When brands look for celebrities to endorse their products, the celebrities’ screen image is naturally a consideration.

Last year, "Water Margin" had such high ratings. Have you seen anyone ask Li Xuejian to be the spokesperson?
Rong Mama in "My Fair Princess" is so famous, which brand dares to ask her to be the spokesperson?

Jinsuo was just a maid, and a maid naturally had her own price.

Three hundred thousand is already very good, and it is also at the upper level among second-tier stars in mainland China. Be content.

Although Fan Binbin was reluctant to admit it, what this person said did make sense. Jinsuo was just a maid and couldn't be priced high.

But when she was about to agree, the other party's attitude changed 180 degrees during just lunch.

From three hundred thousand, it was directly raised to four hundred thousand.

The reason was that Lu Jiang sent a cooperation invitation to Qiong Yao's company, and the female lead of the new album's title song specifically asked for his good friend Fan Binbin.

After the brand owners learned about this, they took it very seriously.

Lu Jiang is just one album away from becoming the new king of pop.

For people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, most of them may be skeptical.

But in the mainland, most people have a positive attitude towards this.

After all, Lu Jiang is a native of the mainland.

The emergence of a pop king in mainland China naturally has different meanings for the mainland music scene and businesses.

His MV was broadcast on TV, so it received a lot of exposure and attention, and the female lead was also very outstanding.

If Fan Binbin can really be the female lead of the hit song again, then the money can indeed be increased.

In fact, they have also negotiated with Lu Jiang about endorsement.

But Lu Jiang thought the money was too little and the term was too long, and he was too lazy to argue, so he simply decided to wait until after the next album to reap the big rewards.

The brand is naturally unwilling to accept this, so it keeps an eye on it.

Now that there is a new breakthrough, they must of course work hard.

So after knowing that Fan Binbin and Lu Jiang are good friends, the other party even said that if Fan Binbin could get Lu Jiang to be the spokesperson together, he could get another 10.

Of course Fan Binbin refused this.

It was already embarrassing to rely on Lu Jiang once or twice, but now I have to use him for a little money.

If she really did that, she would never be able to raise her head in front of Lu Jiang again.

So in the end, Fan Binbin signed a two-year contract for 40 yuan per year and won the first advertising endorsement in his career.

40, although after deducting the company's commission and taxes, the actual amount left is less than 12, but it is still a large sum of money.

This should have been a cause for celebration.

But Fan Binbin couldn't quite feel happy.

On the one hand, Qiong Yao’s company did not pay much attention to her, which led to her only receiving her first advertisement so far.

On the other hand, everything is afraid of comparison.

You know, Xiaoyanzi’s single appearance fee is almost 20!

After "Return of the Condor Heroes 1" became popular.

She immediately became the cover character of the international Chinese current affairs weekly "Asia Weekly".

He has currently taken on the movie "Fate! Wonderful" and his salary is estimated to be 80.

There is also Ann Hui's new film, and her salary is estimated to be 80.

The advertising fees for nearly 20 major and minor advertisements in mainland China and Taiwan totaled more than million yuan.

The pre-order volume of her first solo album "SWALLOW" exceeded 30 copies from Taiwanese record distributors, and the dividends from pre-orders alone amounted to 100 million.

The album will be released at the end of April, and it is expected that sales will exceed 4 without a doubt, and there will be a lot of dividends by then.

In addition, he has performed on various stages across the country and appeared on various TV stations and radio stations.
Take another look at yourself.

I thought that after this promotion in Taiwan, my status would be greatly improved, but it turned out that the remuneration for the first endorsement advertisement still required Lu Jiang's support to reach Xiaoyanzi's level.

What a huge gap!

In addition to these, there is the most important reason.

That means Lu Jiang is about to start producing his new album. I heard from him that he will be the new king after this.

In comparison, Xiaoyanzi seemed to be the one who was more worthy of Lu Jiang, rather than herself, a little maid.

Faced with the ever-increasing gap between them, Fan Binbin felt even more powerless and anxious.

She felt that if she wanted to be on equal terms with Lu Jiang again, she couldn't be so passive anymore.

He gritted his teeth.

Fan Binbin made up his mind completely.

Since Qiong Yao doesn't take it seriously, I have to find a new path myself!

Don’t be a maid anymore!
