Chapter 22 Endorsement(1/2)
During the meal, Xu Rong discovered that Senior Brother Huang Xiaoming had really changed.
It was not because of Yang Ying, but because he seemed not as confident as he was.
Although his words still did not change much from the past, most of the time, his left arm always subconsciously stood in front of him.
When he comes into contact with people, he has become accustomed to paying attention to the other party’s most subtle body language, which are the materials for his performance.
Both of them were from the same school, both were the same class teacher. In the early days, when he had not yet gained a foothold, Huang Xiaoming helped him, but he had no good idea for the current situation where this senior brother was ridiculed by the crowd.
Rome was not built in one day. Today's situation may have laid the foreshadowing since the day he entered this industry.
After the show ended, Xiao Zhang drove slowly and asked a question she realized today and was quite puzzled: "Teacher Xu, why do you have such a good relationship with Huang Xiaoming? That is, you two are the main competitors, right?"
Before Xu Rong reached the top, Huang Xiaoming established the position of the number one young actor in the mainland with "New Shanghai Bund", and the subsequent "The Deer and the Cauldron" was further consolidated.
But after only one year, he was first pulled down from the altar by Du Zhun, and then Xu Rong came from behind.
Xu Rong smiled and said, "If my competitors are all like Brother Xiao Ming, I would be quite happy."
Seeing that Xiao Zhang was a little puzzled, Xu Rong asked back: "If you don't talk about "The Hidden", do you think there is any work he can stabilize the "North Wind"?"
Xiao Zhang hesitated for a while before saying, "It seems that every drama he starred in is quite controversial, especially in the past year, he is scolded on the Internet. By the way, who is your competitor?"
Xu Rong pondered and said, "Last year, you don't know how bad I lost at the Golden Eagle Festival. Not to mention Zhang Guoli and the team leader, even Wang Baoqiang, they all over my head. They are my biggest competitors."
"Brother Xiao Ming is willing to deal with me, and he should have a similar idea. The scripts and characters he likes are usually what I hate. He doesn't want to take them. Just like even if he remakes "New Shanghai Bund", I will still choose Ding Li instead of Xu Wenqiang. Although there is a competitive relationship, we are actually destined to not compete from the beginning."
"And you have noticed that no one has called his name online now. It's all too much trouble, which is not a good phenomenon."
Xiao Zhang said in surprise: "According to your opinion, he will be finished?"
"No, actually, this point is just right now. He has a very high emotional intelligence and good luck. It's so easy to walk along the way. As long as you can get through this period and shoot a few suitable works, it won't be a big problem to get the reputation back."
Sometimes Xu Rong is quite envious of Huang Xiaoming. He is backed by the largest private film company in the mainland. He is surrounded by his godfather in Hong Kong and has a group of friends who are promising in the Hong Kong circle. His path is quite wild.
In the past, he relied mainly on Hairun's support, and in the future, he might only rely on the organization's cultivation.
During the return to the class, under Pu Cunxi's coercion and inducement, he had submitted an application to join the organization.
He had similar opportunities many times during college, but at that time he felt that his ideological awareness had not met the requirements and needed to continue to improve. He did not dare to apply rashly, so he kept putting it on hold.
Actually, it's mainly because I think it's useless.
He is a film and television actor, why do he join the organization?
But the Feitian Award reminded him that it was not only necessary, but also very necessary.
If it were not for the identity of an actor of the Human Resources Art Theater, whether it could be included in the 27-person roster and whether it could win the Feitian Trophy may still be unknown.
The biggest gain from "North Wind" was not because of the role of Shuai Hongbing, he won the Magnolia Award and Feitian Award, but because of the chat with Gao Mantang.
And as time passed, he felt more and more the impact of the content of that chat on him.
Although there are problems that need to be solved in the entire social environment, overall, it is still developing positively.
What he felt most deeply was the exploitation and enslavement of Chinese farmers' agricultural taxes that had been abolished more than two thousand years ago. And grandfather said that there are subsidies for farmers every year.
He still remembers clearly that every time he used to buy food, he had to pull a flatbed cart or take advantage of the neighbor's car to go to the community to get the public grain. He left his own food to save it, and he couldn't sell it for a lot of money.
In any previous era, this policy can be called a great achievement that is greater than the expansion of territory, and will surely be famous in history.
Nowadays, as a public figure with a certain influence, his every word and action is imitated by many young people. In addition to making money, Xu Rong has gradually developed a sense of social responsibility. He does not deny the existence of the problem, but just like agricultural tax, problems will always and will be solved slowly, and this process requires the joint efforts of most people.
In the past, when he had no ability to influence and change, he occasionally held negative thoughts like most people and criticized all kinds of criticisms that were not broken, but in essence, he still hoped that this land would be better.
Nowadays, he no longer makes any negative remarks in front of others or behind others, because he may be recorded again at any time, which will not only be detrimental to himself, but also plays a bad exemplary role.
The next morning, when Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang started having breakfast, Jin Fangfang rang the doorbell.
Following Xiao Zhang into the door, Jin Fangfang looked at the bread that had just taken a bite from the dining table and said in surprise: "You guys, just get up?"
It was already 8:30. According to normal circumstances, Xu Rong and Xiao Zhang, as actors, should get up early to practice in the morning.
Xiao Zhang's face turned slightly red. He didn't answer her words at all. Instead, he pointed to the dining table and asked, "Sister Fangfang, have you had breakfast? Do you want to have something together?"
Jin Fangfang knew what the two looked like, but as if she didn't know anything, she shook her head gently and said, "I've eaten it on the way here. You can eat it first. There are two things to do. Xu Rong, you have to make a decision quickly."
Xu Rong took a sip of milk, raised his chin at the chair next to Xiao Zhang, and said, "Don't worry, sit down and talk."
After Jin Fangfang sat down, she took out two pieces of materials from her briefcase and said, "I received two invitations yesterday, and I think you have to accept them."
Xu Rong didn't say anything, she endorsed each year. This was a discussion between the two in the past. Since Jin Fangfang proposed to take two of them at once, she must have her reasons.
"The first one was sent by the watch brand Tissot, which lasts 40 million in two years. Are you satisfied now?"
Xu Rong grinned, but immediately put it away again, and said carelessly: "This offer is fair, where is the other one?"
Although it did not break Jay Chou's record, tying is also an innovation.
The dream has come true!
"Two years, thirty thousand."
"What's the matter?" Xu Rong paused the water cup that was handed to his mouth, "Are you sure it's 30,000 instead of 30 million?"
Jin Fangfang smiled and pushed the second piece of materials in front of him, saying, "The producer is a newly established new company, here is this."
"Okay, you've said it earlier." Xu Rong glanced at Jin Fangfang, "Thirty thousand is too much, please reply to them, this is free."
The producer is indeed a newly established new company, CTV.
The client is CCTV.
It is a public service advertisement that cares about the elderly.
When it comes to hiring actors, CCTV has saved up to the extreme. Just like the Spring Festival Gala, the total pay budget has never increased by 1 cent since its launch.
He stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth and said, "In another half a month, Xiao Zhang and I will go to the crew. It is best to shoot these two advertisements before or after we come back."
Half a month before "Snow Leopard" officially started filming. He felt that he had enough to prepare for it. The role of Zhou Weiguo is not very challenging for him.
"Okay, no problem, I will communicate with this point. By the way, Tissot is a joint endorsement."
Xu Rong turned to look at her and asked, "Who are you?"
"Liu Yifei."
Xu Rong said "Oh" and he was so familiar with this name that he became very popular before he debuted.
It turned out that he was quite puzzled, but now it is not surprising.
It may be difficult to judge whether a popular artist’s background is strong, but it is simpler from the negative.
The less negative news a popular artist has in the formal media, the deeper his background is.
He leaned against Hairun and was an actor of the People's Art Theater, and he couldn't stop a group of people from coming up to mess with the film. This press release has never stopped. It should have caused the audience's disgust, but there are really not many negative news. Even if there are, the manuscript will be withdrawn quickly.
Fortunately, it’s not about working together to film, he is aiming to make money, and it doesn’t matter who he joins the endorsement.
On November 10, Beijing Financial Street International Conference Center.
Xu Rong got out of the car and looked at the circle of a group of black men surging towards the conference center not far away. He turned his head and looked at Jin Fangfang: "In the future, when attending such an event, do we have to hire a few bodyguards temporarily? How to compare, my suit looks like a security guard?"
Jin Fangfang stood on tiptoe and looked at her, pursed her lips and said, "What you said makes sense. I will make arrangements for the next event."
Before she finished speaking, seven people came over, including five yellow-skinned and dark-haired, and one man and one woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Rong listened to the other party’s poor Chinese and smiled and said, “Hello.”
“I'll introduce myself,My name is……”
Xu Rong was confused. His English test scores were OK, but it was really hard to say that they had normal communication. Moreover, the other party said it too quickly. He heard some of the words in it, but for a while, he couldn't remember what they meant.
Jin Fangfang immediately came over and whispered: "He said his name is Tianbao. Now he is the global president of Tissot. He welcomes you on behalf of Tissot."
Xu Rong smiled, shook hands with the other party, and said, "When you greeted me just now, I thought you could speak Chinese."
“@#¥¥%…”
"He said Mr. Xu was so humorous."
At this time, Liu Yifei, accompanied by Vice President Fei Xi, stopped in front of the gate, turned around, and looked at Xu Rong who had just gotten out of the car.
"Ms. Liu?"
Hearing Fei Xi's puzzled voice, Liu Yifei chuckled and said, "Let's go in first."
As a male actor who is so popular this year, although Xu Rong has been alumni and has heard of her many times, but this is the first time she meets her today.
Before entering the restroom the day after tomorrow, she glanced at the theme of the big screen "Rong Fei Future". She was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.
She has participated in similar activities too many times. Over time, she has formed a habit. Although she has a smile on her face, she is actually just a mascot that can only be emotionally irrelevant.
When Xu Rong came in with Tianbao, she just lightly tapped her head, then continued to have a relationship, waiting for the event to come home to play games.
Xu Rong sat down and looked at this peer who was named "Yanxian" on the Internet with curiosity.
Perhaps noticed his sight, Liu Yifei suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Hello."
"Hello." Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then replied, and he suddenly felt that she was not that fairy anymore.
“Mr Xu…”
