Chapter 21 Wet Shoes(1/2)
"Do you think I look like a great man?"
Jin Fangfang couldn't help but see a huge portrait every time she passed by the 16-lane street. After comparing it with Xu Rong's face in front of her, she was a little confident and hesitated: "I think, since the other party said you can, you should, yes, by the way, I heard from Huang Jianxin that it was from the youth."
Xu Rong shook his head, saying that if he acted well or not, he was just a little short of 100,000 miles away from his image. When the filming was taken, he might be scolded by the audience.
Although the male first person is good, he is a hot potato.
He had read the teacher's biography and could be seen by him. It must have been modified and treated with certain modifications. But even so, compared to his following the rules and using the rules, the teacher has been a person who has been bold and even wantonly breaking the rules since his youth.
If the actors are not good and don’t look the same, this male lead may become a laughing stock in the entire industry.
But this matter was too sudden. When he learned the news, Liu Yanming and Jin Fangfang had already done the matter.
Seeing that Jin Fangfang was still insisting, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's wait for a while and I'll talk to Huang Jianxin."
He did not blame Jin Fangfang. Although it was under great pressure to him to play a great man, Jin Fangfang and the company's behavior was for his own good.
As one of the 27 outstanding contributions to the 60th anniversary of the organizer of the Feitian Award, and is the only young actor. Among the mainland actors, if you simply look at the appearance conditions, no one is more suitable for this role than him.
He asked again: "Didn't you just say there are two things, what is the second one?"
Jin Fangfang stood up, took out two stacks of A4 paper from the desk drawer, and said, "It's about endorsement. After our team's research, I have selected two brands, one watch brand, the Piaget, the other whiskey brand, and Jack Danny."
“Where is the endorsement fee?”
"The Earl's Count's 20 million in two years, and Jack Danny's 10 million in two years."
"Um?"
Xu Rong was stunned. The offer made him wonder if he had heard it wrong.
My popularity has increased, but why has the endorsement fee decreased?
And Jack Danny is even more ruthless. He often endorses this wine in "Before Dawn", but he only offered a price of 10 million yuan for two years.
Send the beggar!
Jin Fangfang shook her head and said, "The reason why your previous endorsement fee was high is that you did not take on endorsements after you became famous. Besides, they are optimistic about your future. These two are international brands, and the quotations are not low for your current popularity."
"Chinese people have been inferior for too long and too profound. They always feel that those who can endorse foreign big brands are all powerful stars. For example, if you give you a title of a global brand spokesperson, it will greatly improve your personal image."
Seeing Xu Rong's face was not right, Jin Fangfang raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't dislike what I said badly. Regarding foreign countries, what you see and hear are actually what you want to see and hear, and it is not as beautiful as you imagine."
Xu Rong asked with a smile: "Our place is the best. In fact, abroad is in dire straits. Even if it looks prosperous now, it will collapse at any time?"
"Look, you are going to another extreme. In foreign countries, we are also in dire straits. The people can't even eat enough all day. There are more than one billion people and billions of people outside. Whether you are looking for good things or reporting bad things, you can guarantee that you can't finish watching it even if you don't sleep 24 hours a day. What I said is just the fact that the current situation is why many artists would rather reduce their endorsement fees than signing contracts with big foreign brands. This is the general mentality of the public."
"That won't be accepted." Xu Rong, as a pragmatist, said without hesitation. "Don't think about the fact that international brands can enhance my personal commercial value. Only you and my works are less than 1,500 yuan. Don't worry about the big brands, just reject them directly."
When Jin Fangfang looked at him talking, she pointed her finger at herself, raised her lips slightly, and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you for this matter first. There are also mid-to-high-end brands with more sincere prices. I'll tell you after I come across it."
Xu Rong was not in a hurry. When Baiqueling's last endorsement fee and Zhongning's second endorsement fee were received, he would immediately pay off all the debts he owed to the company.
The book agreed to with Luo Liping at the end of "Before Dawn" has not been signed yet.
The filming started at the beginning of the year after that, and his contract with Hairun expired at the end of next year, so it would not be too late to sign it before.
Moreover, in the outside media, news about Huayi's listing has been rushing. When the listing is successful and cashing out when it expires, he has been thinking about buying a place to settle in Magic City and will be realized immediately.
After this incident, he deeply realized that original stocks are indeed more profitable than stock trading, and they are also more profitable.
But what makes more profitable is to buy a property!
Xu Rong got up, took a glass of water by himself, and asked, "By the way, what do you think about the matter Yu Zheng has taken?"
Jin Fangfang said: "What else can I think? In order to avoid embarrassing He Shengming, he dug a bigger hole for himself and handed the shovel to us. If he didn't bury him, he would be sorry for him."
"What about the other people, such as Du Zhun, Li Chen, and Bao Jianfeng?"
Jin Fangfang said: "I used to be in contact with their brands, but now I'm here to look for us. Do you know what this is equivalent to?"
"What?"
Jin Fangfang looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "Let me give an example, if you are about to marry your cold goddess fiancée happily, but suddenly you find that she is actually another man's dog licking, how do you think you would feel?"
Xu Rong admitted that he was indeed disgusted by Jin Fangfang and said, "That's impossible, there is no goddess in my values."
Jin Fangfang laughed and said, "I'm just making an example. If you are in this position, you must be accustomed to similar criticisms, endorsements, film appointments, interviews, top magazines, etc. You don't want these resources, but others want them, but your existence itself is the biggest obstacle for them to get these resources. There are many people in this world who think about not how to create good works, but how to pull down people who are better than themselves."
"Believe it or not, there are actually many people who wish you could die immediately now."
"Is it so exaggerated?"
"More exaggerated than you think." Jin Fangfang rolled her eyes and said, "By the way, aren't they going to make trouble? Let's make a bigger deal and pull off all their fig leafs by the way. Yu Zheng can't run away. No one else who takes the initiative to cause trouble will run away."
Xu Rong looked at Jin Fangfang's sneering look and knew that she must have taken the lead in making a complete plan. He asked: "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Jin Fangfang looked at him and said, "You are an actor, why should you care about these things? But you have to always remember that you are the real victim. Why can Yu Zheng get sympathy from others because he positioned himself as a victim."
After Jin Fangfang's words fell for a long time, Nandu, a media in the most popular area in Xu Rong, published a news article, which made a joke about the reason why Yu Zheng attacked the "male actor surnamed X" on the grounds that "even from the perspective of an onlooker, he could not tolerate such vicious slander." At the same time, he did not forget the "red eye disease" of Du Zhun, Li Chen and Bao Jianfeng.
Jin Fangfang's actions forced the agency behind several people to quickly launch a counterattack, because once confirmed, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of several people.
The counterattack rhetoric is also similar to the ones when they first spoke out: the healthy development of the industry requires fair, just, open order and a good ecological environment. It is never allowed to abruptly seize the interests that should belong to others through various improper means and trample on industry rules.
The media led by Nandu do not pay so much attention to and implicitly, and the counterattack is even sharper: Why do people led by Yu Zheng and Du Zhun attack the male actor surnamed X because of jealousy and the most direct interests!
The mainland entertainment industry has been in trouble for a year. Everyone originally thought that October would be a quiet month, but a big drama with Yu Zheng as the initiator, screenwriter, Hai Run, Huayi, and Xu Rong, Du Zhun, Li Chen, Bao Jianfeng and others officially began.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009, Hairun Brokerage Company launched a major project and officially started a verbal battle with Yu Zheng, Du Zhun and others.
This is not a field that Hairun is good at, but it is what Jin Fangfang is good at.
It's just strange that from beginning to end, no one mentioned the word "Xu Rong" in a certain tone. Everyone knew that once the name was written on, they might immediately receive a summons from the court.
Gradually, an extremely embarrassing situation was formed. Whether it was Yu Zheng, Du Zhun, Li Chen, Bao Jianfeng and others, they all ended up in person since the beginning, but now they want to run away, because they were grabbed by annoying media and if they ignored it, they would have to show their butts.
On October 30, 2009, it is suitable for opening business, raising grounds and starting a foundation.
The crew of "Snow Leopard" held a launch conference in Beijing.
At the beginning of the press conference, all the media focused their attention on Xu Rong.
Although Xu Rong and Hairun have never spoken out in the past month, Yu Zheng and the sarcastic artists have become a little unable to withstand it.
Because one party has ended up early and it is difficult to get out of here, and he has to fight head-on. The other party, from beginning to end, just let the relevant interest groups speak out on their behalf, as if the parties don't know about this at all.
It seems that the media is just a simple media that cannot be matched with Yu Zheng and others.
"Teacher Xu, what do you think about Yu Zheng's attempt to rush to endorse a male artist named X?"
Xu Rong stretched out his hand, interrupted the first reporter who asked, and frowned and said, "Wait a minute, can you tell me who Yu Zheng is first?"
The press conference was quiet for a moment, and then there was an uproar. The young reporter who had asked before hurriedly confirmed: "You really don't know who Yu Zheng is?"
Xu Rong shook his head first, then asked back: "Is this person very famous? I'm so sorry, I really don't know who Yu Zheng is. Of course, I don't mean to offend him, but I really don't know, and no one has mentioned this person to me."
After the press conference, no one has explored whether Xu Rong knew Yu Zheng, but "I really don't know who Yu Zheng is." He overcame the verbal battle that had been quarrel for a month before, and occupied the front page headlines of major entertainment media.
As a popular male actor in the TV series market this year, Xu Rong may be frank or intentional, but no matter what, it cannot cover up the insults.
Subsequently, with the help of the Internet navy, "I really don't know who Yu Zheng is." was edited into various ghost videos and jokes, becoming one of the annual online jokes.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was that the Chinese Wikipedia deleted the entry "Yu Zheng". The reason for the deletion was: the character's popularity was too low and it was not worth recording, so it refused to include "Yu Zheng" as the entry.
For a time, Yu Zheng completely became a joke in the domestic entertainment industry.
When the other artists saw that the situation was not good, they immediately stopped.
Jin Fangfang did not pursue and kill others.
It was not that she had a kind heart, but that this small mistake had formed the current situation and had reached the limit of the power of public opinion.
Just like even if Xu Rong grabs the endorsement, it will not have a substantial impact on him, but this head cannot be opened. Once it is opened, it will be used to block the gun, and the masses will only take it for granted.
After nearly a month of war of verbal battles and completely calmed down, several artists and Yu Zheng reviewed the incident and found that they were always talking to a group of media within a month. Not to mention Xu Rong, even Hairun did not say a word, and they completely implemented the style of speaking with their works.
The most annoying thing is that after a month of conversation, it ended up sloppy because of Xu Rong's words "I really don't know who Yu Zheng is."
This incident seemed like a complete farce, but Jin Fangfang sat in her office and did not expose the matter lightly just because she was a winner. She looked at the materials carefully. Yu Zheng and Du Zhun and others not only dug a hole for themselves, but also gave her a big gift.
On the same day, Huayi Brothers successfully went public with an issue price of RMB 28.58 per share. The 600,000 shares Xu Rong bought at 1.8 million directly increased by nearly ten times.
The only shame is that he cannot cash out before it expires.
After making a small fortune, Xu Rong did not forget Huang Xiaoming, the well digger, at that time. He decided to invite this righteous senior brother to a meal.
The two agreed that no matter which one is Hairun or Huayi, it would sell the original shares they could get to one-third of the other party.
As for whether he can still get Hairun’s original shares, Xu Rong is not sure now.
But what he didn't know was that Huang Xiaoming was increasingly suspicious of life recently.
Xu Rong is only half a step away from the Grand Slam!
He had already been nominated for the Golden Eagle Video Master last year, and perhaps in a few years, he would achieve the highest achievement of a TV drama actor.
Grand Slam of the Video Emperor.
The two of them have reached similar heights through different methods, but now, Xu Rong is still moving forward and has left him behind. Moreover, he has made a vague judgment from some rumors that his future may not be as good as this junior brother of his classmates who is ten years younger than him.
Xu Rong has already officially entered the big screen, and he started out as a luxury big-name male lead.
"Long time no see, Brother Xiao Ming."
