HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

"Well..."

Seeing Yang Ying's excited state, Xu Lang quickly tried to dissuade her.

"Our relationship with her is purely business competition; there are no personal grudges between us."

"snort!"

Yang Ying was dismissive of Xu Lang's statement, curled her lip, and gave him a sarcastic laugh.

"You know, if you ask me, you're just lusting after her body. But let me tell you, that girl isn't so easy to fool. You may be thinking about her, but she might not be thinking about you."

Let me tell you, someone like Liu Yifei, who's been pampered since childhood, if you want to conquer her, you have to completely defeat her.

"Well..."

Hearing Yang Ying's lewd words, Xu Lang felt a cold sweat pour down his back.

"This little girl really dares to say anything!"

However, although Yang Ying is young, what she said was quite honest.

Xu Lang was indeed lusting after Liu Tianxian's body, and he made no attempt to hide it!

In addition, Yang Ying made another good point.

Liu Yifei has indeed been pampered and spoiled since childhood. Being a sycophant is not a competitive advantage for her.

However, this was not what Xu Lang was worried about. After all, the first thing he hated after his rebirth was sycophants.

What Xu Lang was really worried about was Liu Yifei's abilities.

After all, that girl's looks are just too stunning!

In addition to her naturally cool and composed temperament, and with the added blessing of "two immortals in one person," it is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yifei is now universally loved.

"In the previous life, the asking price was 300 million. In this life, with the added hype of 'one person, two immortals,' the price is estimated to rise significantly."

Yang Ying's price is definitely much cheaper than Liu Yifei's.

While they have a price advantage, for a company of Yili's caliber, price isn't the most important factor. Their goal is to achieve results and avoid being overwhelmed by Mengniu.

"So, in the end, it all comes down to GG's creativity, image, presentation, and reach!"

Just thinking about the widespread popularity of Mengniu Yogurt Drink gives Xu Lang a headache.

"Who could beat Mengniu in 2005?"

With the two magic weapons of "Sour and Sweet Is Me" and "Super Girl" protecting them, it would be a waste of anyone else's efforts!

Nobody will do!

Fortunately, it's not just Xu Lang who's facing this problem; Liu Yifei's team is also facing it.

As Xu Lang had predicted, Liu Yifei's team was also discussing this matter.

Inside a luxurious villa on the outskirts of Beijing, Chen Jinfei, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei, and Jin Xin, the team's planner, were all seated.

Chen Jinfei looked at the endorsement offer from GG Entertainment with excitement. He patted Liu Yifei's head, his eyes full of affection.

"Haha, our little princess can finally make big money!"

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei were extremely happy about the GG endorsement offer from Yili.

Meanwhile, Jin Xin, the planner, was busy with his work and asked Chen Jinfei for advice.

"Chairman Chen, what do you think is a suitable endorsement fee for Xixi?"

"Endorsement fee?"

Chen Jinfei stroked his chin and said directly:

"Right now, top female stars charge around 600 million for endorsements. Given how popular our Sissi is, she can't possibly charge less than that. How about 600 million?"

"Well..."

Upon hearing the price, Jin Xin was taken aback, and couldn't help but think to himself:

"600 million? That's the ceiling for female celebrities in the entertainment industry, isn't that too high?"

Although she didn't dare say it, Liu Xiaoli saw through her thoughts and tried to persuade Chen Jinfei.

"Brother Fei, Sissi's two TV dramas haven't even aired yet. Asking for this price based solely on the 'one person, two immortals' hype is a bit too high."

"high?"

Chen Jinfei glared at her. "Where is she high? You can't judge Xixi based on her current state. It's a two-year contract. Think about it, in less than two years, even a year later, won't Xixi become a top-tier celebrity?"

Is this price still expensive?

"Well..."

Chen Jinfei's logic is similar to Xu Lang's.

However, he was bolder and more daring than Xu Lang.

"Brother Fei, Xixi isn't at that age yet. The reason they're interested in her is because they want to take advantage of the premium. We're about to leave, and they definitely won't be happy about that."

"It can't be less than 500 million!"

Although Chen Jinfei conceded a step, he also set a bottom line.

"Then let's set the price at 500 million."

Liu Xiaoli and Jin Xin were talking.

"Um."

Jin Xin nodded, and then she said:

"Yili's goal this time is very clear: to compete with Mengniu's GG. Zhang Hanyun and 'Sour and Sweet Is Me' have already shrunk Yili's market share to a huge extent."

While the specific creative ideas and presentations are ultimately determined by GG Company, it's best to be prepared.

After all, Yili didn't just extend a "GG" invitation to Sisi alone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli both nodded, and even Chen Jinfei's expression became serious.

As a businessman, he could certainly see the brilliance of Mengniu's move:

The 2004 Super Girl champion's "Sour and Sweet Is Me" song, coupled with the title sponsorship of the 2005 Super Girl competition, made this promotional strategy unbeatable!

Especially the song "Sour and Sweet Is Me", which spread like a virus, coupled with Zhang Hanyun's sweet and girlish appearance, she is loved by all ages!

"It's really not easy to compete with Mengniu!"

After thinking for a long time, Chen Jinfei came to this conclusion and said with a wry smile:

"Unless we can create a song that surpasses 'Sour and Sweet Is Me'!"

At this point, he asked Jin Xin,

"Find out who wrote 'Sour and Sweet Is Me,' is there any chance we could commission him to write a song, something that can compete with it?"

"I've already checked. The lyricist and composer of this song are quite well-known; it's Xu Lang from Xingtu Studio."

"Xu Lang?"

When Chen Jinfei heard that name again, his heart stirred.

"He's got photography skills and songwriting talent too, he's truly a genius!"

Thinking of this, he recalled the time Xu Lang hung up on him on the phone.

"Hmph, it's this ungrateful brat. Oh well, I'll just ignore him!"

Thinking of this, he asked again,

"By the way, Jin Xin, you just said there's someone else competing with us for this endorsement deal. Who is it? They're so blind!"

Upon hearing this question, Jin Xin gave a wry smile.

"Chairman Chen, you're quite familiar with this competitor. She's Yang Ying, an artist from Xingtu Studio, which is under Xu Lang's management. She's currently the leading lady on Hunan TV's 'Happy Camp.' She's beautiful and clever, and her popularity has been soaring lately. We really can't underestimate her."

"It's Xu Lang again?!"

This time, not only Chen Jinfei, but even Liu Xiaoli was unsettled.

She had only one feeling in her heart:

"Why do I feel like I can't get rid of Xu Lang?!"

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was also surprised when she heard Xu Lang's name, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"I never expected to become his competitor!"

Compared to Chen Jinfei and Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei had a clearer understanding of Xu Lang's abilities.

"I wonder how he will treat me, his competitor?"
