Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 64 Luxury Brand Endorsements
……

……

After finishing recording the song, Gu Qing took a car to the company.

He didn't sit idle along the way, taking a break to browse Abi.

The currently trending video content is mostly covers of the song "Puppet Show".

Gu Qing randomly clicked on the cover video with the most views.

It was sung by an up-and-coming content creator named 'Qiwu'.

After the song ended,
It has a distinct flavor of the ancient Chinese opera "Puppet Show," and the operatic singing style is also very charming.

"Good job, Ting!"

Gu Qing casually posted a comment, then launched into a high-intensity search for videos about herself.

It includes both lyric analysis and storytelling, and the reviews are mostly positive.

Some of his fans also politely left comments like "thank you" and "you've worked hard" in the comments section.

"Looks like my fans are pretty normal."

Gu Qing smiled. "How adorable she looks."

Immediately,
He couldn't laugh anymore.

There is a recommendation below the video.
A content creator who appears to be a professional in traditional Chinese opera talked about his operatic singing style.
Somewhat embarrassed, I pointed out: "Gu Qing's opera singing is actually not very professional. He should be a self-taught beginner, but it's still quite good."

It's not really a criticism.
However, the comments under this video are already filled with a lot of nonsense.

"If you're so good, then you do it! Try singing such a nice song!"

"You say your opera singing isn't professional? May I ask, which master did you study under?"

"As long as we, the audience, think it sounds good, we don't care whether it's professional or not."

"A clown, nothing but a clickbaiter!"

This is considered a mild retort.

Some even attacked the uploader's appearance, and even went so far as to criticize his parents, attributing it to genetics.

Often those who criticize the most harshly,

Just before,
The most polite person praised in other content creator videos.

They can switch between two faces, one angel and one demon, at will.

Gu Qing put down her phone, losing interest in scrolling any further.

"Sister Xiaoya."

"What's wrong, boss?"

"When I get back, I'll talk to Sister Li and see if she can help me contact a teacher who sings opera. I want to learn something."

"Okay, I know."

As the person directly involved, Gu Qing cannot comment on such a controversial topic.

Showing sympathy for the content creator will inevitably offend their fans.

Those who can control the comments under each of his videos are mostly die-hard fans, who are also the fans most willing to spend money to support him.

For an idol
These fans are the fundamental reason why he can live a glamorous life on stage.

The best solution,

It's about improving yourself so that others have nothing to complain about.

……

Back to the company,

As soon as Gu Qing got out of the car, he was warmly welcomed by all the employees.

His current status is that of a 'crown prince,' and everyone is willing to fawn over him.

This is a walking money tree!
Who doesn't love money?
In the following days,
Gu Qing also had to meet the company's performance targets, so she started doing gigs to earn money.

usually,

A top-tier singer can be paid around 30 to 50 yuan for singing a song, and the singer's travel and accommodation expenses must also be reimbursed.

But now we're at the beginning of the traffic era, and the premium has already started to soar.

For Gu Qing,

Many large companies have invited him to their annual meetings, offering an outrageous price of 'one million' for a single song, and he is still in high demand.

Sing a song that lasts three to five minutes when you arrive at the venue.
No need for drinks or meals, just sing and leave, and the money goes directly to your account.

of course,

Most singers with emotional intelligence are still willing to chat with sponsors with a smile, have a bite and a drink, and build connections.

What if I ever fall on hard times?
They can also find someone to take over their life and live a comfortable life for the rest of their days.

Gu Qing didn't put on a particularly aloof attitude.

As long as it's not about influencing his drinking culture.

Gu Qing greeted everyone with a smile, readily agreeing to their requests for autographs and photos. Of course, this outwardly amicable demeanor was merely a facade.
Privately, Gu Qing also encountered many disgusting things.

One second we were at the dinner table, chatting and laughing.

Next second,
As soon as Gu Qing sat down, his legs were touched, and some even pretended to be drunk and got close, almost pressing their mouths to his face.

Both men and women can be like this.

They're all shameless and shameless; when it comes to being vulgar, they're better than anyone else.

Gu Qing didn't tolerate it. Following the example of Consort Hua, he grabbed the groping hand, slammed it on the table, and left without looking back.

The remaining matters will naturally be handled by the company.
He doesn't need to care.

that's it,
I spent five days performing at commercial events, traveling back and forth between several cities.

Gu Qing earned nearly ten million; that's the terrifying money-making ability of a top celebrity.

Of course, we can't do without it.

His two songs were indeed of good quality and would be very suitable for the annual meeting stage.

Otherwise, we could call over another top celebrity to perform something like, "You're eating here, and you think the food is delicious..."

That would be too awkward.

—Evening Night

After a busy day of announcements,

Exhausted, Gu Qing sat in the back seat, her mind hazy, her head resting against the car window.

Making money is great.
However, two months of high-intensity filming, and forcing oneself to immerse oneself in the role every day, resulted in severe mental and physical exhaustion.

After filming wrapped, there was no time to rest.
He was constantly traveling all over the country, sleeping either in the car or on the plane.

He often wakes up in a fright from his dreams, his sleep quality is hard to guarantee, and he eats only bland soup every day.

I am extremely exhausted in terms of energy, spirit, and mental state.

Gu Qing felt he was about to die.

The purpose of making money is to enjoy life.

go on like this,
He had the life to earn the money, but not the life to spend it.

"Baby…"

Li Li, who was standing nearby, wanted to get closer.

"Call my name."

Gu Qing pinched the bridge of her nose, her tone indifferent, "Also, before we got in the car, didn't I ask Sister Xiaoya to sit next to me?"

Before he became famous, he had to endure some things.
After it became popular,

If we keep holding back, won't that just lead to a pointless fire?
"..."

Li Li's expression was stiff. The confidence and arrogance that she used to think she could easily control Gu Qing had shattered after he became a top star.

Regardless of the time,

No matter how nasty she was in her heart, she had to force a smile on the surface and change her words, saying, "Little Gu, Sister Li just wanted to tell you some good news."

When Li Li didn't receive a response, she quickly said, "A luxury brand wants to invite you to be their spokesperson."

"The endorsement fee is also quite high, ten million for two years, which is a very high price."

"The most important benefit I'll give you is: Brand Ambassador!"

Luxury goods endorsed by celebrities

It is mainly divided into several levels:

The worst are: Experience Officer and Energy Officer. These titles are usually only used for publicity and do not count as endorsements.

Counting upwards:

[Brand Muse]: Still a low-level spokesperson, not enjoying any special treatment.

【Brand Ambassador】: This is the highest level of advertising that most top-tier celebrities can endorse.

The relationship between brands and celebrities is mutually beneficial.
This level of brand ambassador is mainly responsible for social media soft advertising, attending brand events, and renting clothing from the brand.

Gu Qing's title of "Brand Ambassador" ranks only after "Brand Spokesperson" and "Global Spokesperson".

Not only can they enjoy free gifts of brand products, but they can also participate in major red carpet shows hosted by the brand.

For celebrities,

Endorsements for luxury brands are the most direct way to elevate an artist's status!
They're willing to take on the job even if it costs them money.

The two top celebrities who have returned to China at present
The level of luxury brand endorsements that Lu Han has received is currently on par with Gu Qing's.

Wu's endorsement level is the highest, reaching the level of "brand ambassador".

As for the reason, it is inseparable from the help of people of other nationalities.
