Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

"It's okay, what you said is true, but you haven't answered my question yet."

Gu Renlong remained silent, his expression shifting several times.

"I did have my own reasons for returning from the United States, I...I..."

Since they were both adults, Xie Jin waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. Tell me about the cooperation model, and we can give it a try."

Gu Renlong breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Xie Jin didn't press the matter further.

"I will be responsible for all your business operations and can also serve as your legal counsel. I am also skilled in the implementation of your future overseas projects, as I am more familiar with both domestic and international matters."

"I know your main focus should be on creative work, and I'll try my best to avoid letting business matters interfere with you. I won't interfere with your love life, and your public image doesn't need to be based on an innocent, pure persona."

"A 30% business split—I'm worth that price. You'll see my advantages."

Xie Jin pinched his chin. 30%? He really dares to ask for that much! But it's good that this person's demands are out in the open, without so many hidden agendas.

In principle, any top company would not only have to pay a signing fee to sign you, but the company's share would not exceed 20%.

Given their own creative abilities, the revenue share might even be lower, so the company will most likely have to invest the money in their new projects.

I don't know if he's worth the price or if he's just really arrogant.

Cheap things have limited advantages besides their price, while expensive things have few disadvantages besides their price.

Xie Jin licked her lips and scrutinized Gu Renlong in front of her.

Xie Jin had a strange feeling that this guy's aura was very compatible with hers. Sometimes, she really believed in this inexplicable feeling.

He felt that this bespectacled man was bringing him good fortune...

He extended his hand, saying, "Let's work together for a year. If it's a good fit, we won't switch partners after that."

........

Gu Renlong had already sentenced himself to death in his heart when he saw that he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jin was willing to take the gamble.

With a sigh of relief, Gu Renlong took out a thin booklet from his bag.

"This is my greeting gift, to prove that your share of the profits was well spent."

"Before coming here, I had already spoken with the head of the menswear department at Crocodile, who is my classmate in the United States. This endorsement is perfect for you."

???

Σ(°ロ°)! ! !

Ordos?

Within the industry, this is considered a resource second only to S+ red and blue blood.

It's definitely A+ grade.

Is my manager Doraemon? He can just pull something good out of his bag...

............

International top-tier luxury brands (blue-blooded) and international red-blooded accessible luxury brands (red-blooded) are basically in the same category (although there are still some differences).

For example, LV, Gucci, Chanel, Max Mara, and Michael Kors.

03年一般红蓝血代言费在2000-4000万人民币一年，例如妮可・基德曼2205万一年签的Chanel5号。

Below that are the top domestic brands, also known as domestic high-end light luxury brands.

The high-end lines of Erdos and Bosideng are examples, generally costing 400-800 million RMB per year.

Next are the domestic mid-to-high-end brands, such as Youngor, Shanshan, and Seven Wolves, whose endorsement fees are 100-200 million RMB per year (excluding promotional activities).

The cheapest fast-moving consumer goods, such as Metersbonwe and Baleno.

Brands at this level may not have expensive products costing a few hundred yuan each, but their endorsement fees are very high because of their wide reach.

For example, Jelun paid M&B 1000 million a year, while Andy Lau paid Baleno 2000 million a year.

.............

"Are you that efficient? What level of endorsement are you?"

Within clothing brands, collaborating artists are typically categorized into several levels.

The levels of spokesperson > ambassador > close friend > promotion/experience officer are closely related to their status and influence.

"The highest-level spokesperson"

..........

"I think my 30% expenditure was well worth it."

Gu Renlong rarely smiled. "I also think it's worth it, but you've gained weight recently, so you need to work on your chest muscles."

"oh oh"

Damn it, I knew I couldn't let her trick me into eating good food...

Gu Renlong habitually adjusted his glasses: "Erdos controls about 25% of the international cashmere market share, making it the global leader in the cashmere industry. However, due to strategic issues, it has been unable to penetrate the high-end luxury market."

"This year they're going to invest heavily to enter the high-end menswear market, launching five product lines at once."

"Your fashion sense is excellent, perfectly matching masculine aesthetics, and you also have a very refined bone structure. The feedback from young and middle-aged people is very positive."

"A four-year brand ambassador contract, under Erdos, with a total of 2400 million yuan for the ambassadors of two high-end lines."

Xie Jin counted on her fingers. One endorsement, and she made 1680 million yuan in one go?

What exactly did I miss before?

"Ahem...is this money burning your hands...?"

Gu Renlong smiled reservedly: "It's not hot. This includes the activity and taxes, so it's actually quite tiring. And if you have a scandal, there are huge compensation claims."

"No, no, I don't have any bad habits except for smoking very occasionally. I can quit smoking. I'm still a virgin, and I'm very disciplined with my pants."

Gu Renlong's lips twitched. What kind of freak is this? And you're getting all arrogant?

"......Good....."

·······

·······

The two signed the contract smoothly. Gu Renlong then spent a long time studying Xie Jin, meticulously preparing the materials on his laptop.

They asked very detailed questions.

They even wanted to know if Lao Xie and Director Xu had any bad habits, such as being a defaulter, all to prevent negative impacts on the artists.

They also chatted about Xie Jin's love life, whispering for twenty minutes before Gu Renlong finally managed to say, "If it's her, then it makes sense."

..........

"Xie Jin, what are your main work plans for the next six months?"

"Let's make a romance drama. The Korean wave is coming; let's prepare for it."

·······

When Xie Jin and her agent returned to President Yu's office, President Yu didn't even notice that they had come in.

Mr. Yu nestled on the sofa, his eyes sparkling, a maternal smile playing on his lips.

"Hehehe....hehehe"

Xie Jin wanted to leave; Lao Yu's behavior was terrifying... This was fucking creepy...

Gu Renlong turned to look at Xie Jin and lowered his voice, "Brother, what's wrong with President Yu?"

Xie Jin covered her face: "It's a symptom of diabetes, I'm dizzy from sweetness."

As Yu Dong slowly scrolled to the last image, he was stunned. "It's gone? What happened? Was Wen Shuangjiang drunk or not? That damn Xie Jin!"

"cough"

Upon looking up and seeing Xie Jin, Lao Yu immediately resumed his serious expression, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

for a while

"Ahem, is the notebook alright?"

Old Yu dug his toes into the ground, utterly embarrassed. He'd really lost his mind today. He wasn't a young man anymore; how could he have gotten so smitten reading a sweet romance novel...?

His image was completely ruined.

Yu Dong coughed with a straight face, "It's good, but I haven't finished reading it, so I can't draw any conclusions yet."

"Just say you want to see the rest."

Old Yu blushed, then steeled himself and said, "I want to see."

"Should we vote?"

"cast"

"I want to release it overseas and counterattack the South Korean market."

"Okay, I'll contact them."

"Total investment is 2500, you contribute half."

"Okay, I can add more if that's not enough."

"Okay, bye-bye, here are the rest of the notebooks."

·······

·······

Even after leaving Bona Film Group, Gu Renlong still felt dizzy.

He wasn't unfamiliar with how producers and directors explained scripts and project prospects to Yu Dong.

Her words flowed like lotus blossoms, a dazzling display of eloquence.

Asking for money requires begging and pleading.

If kowtowing could bring in investment, you'd be kowtowing until the land is worn through.

But this is too smooth, didn't it? Did the two of them exchange fifty words in total?

It felt like Xie Jin just wanted the stars in the sky, and Lao Yu would have said, "I'll get them for you..."

At this moment, Gu Renlong finally had a clear understanding of how sought-after Xie Jin's creative abilities were.

"Boss, where's your car?"

No cars available.

"..."

"It's okay, I have a car, I'll give you a ride."

Sitting on their agent's electric scooter, the two men, both wearing pink helmets, creaked as they rode on it.

It bore a weight it shouldn't have had to bear.

Xie Jin sighed: "Renlong, remember this from now on, this is a non-motorized vehicle. Don't tell anyone you have a car next time."

"Hurry up and contact us for filming, I need to buy a car!"
