Chapter 145: Triumphant Return
If someone asks Zhou Xiao at this time, if he is happy to be a star, his answer must be painful and happy.
For a whole month, he was running around, getting up in Yangcheng in the morning, and sleeping in Hangzhou at night, planes, high-speed rail, bullet trains, buses, all means of transportation rotated, roughly estimated, Zhou Xiao's mileage is enough to exchange for 2 tickets to any place in China.
Variety show shooting, live radio broadcast, entertainment interviews, magazine shooting, advertising shooting, autograph sessions around the world, website interviews... At least 1-2 trips per day...
When I left, I only brought a simple backpack, and when I came back, I packed four suitcases, the cauldron sent photos, and the couriers I received, all of which were placed in the company, and the whole room was full of large and small gifts from fans.
I don't have time to exercise, I don't eat regularly, and I have lost about ten pounds of weight in my original 140 years, especially my chin, which has obviously become a lot sharper.
Zhou Xiao didn't know how much money he made, because he was settled with the company, but the endorsements of the clothes and sunglasses were 1.2 million and 1.8 million for two years, respectively, and the prices were not low, especially for newcomers like him.
In addition to the influence of personal popularity, there is also an important factor in the ability to drive, Zhou Xiao's fan base is mainly young women, who have spending power, and his endorsement fee is relatively high.
1.2 million is really easy to earn, Zhou Xiao has attended the signing ceremony so far, and then filmed the season's new product advertisement in the studio, and it is gone, in the next two years, as long as the other party comes out with a new model, just go over to shoot, it is very easy.
Turn on the TV, computer, any station, which website, it is possible to see Zhou Xiao's figure at any time, as if swiping the screen.
Weibo fans exceeded 20 million, and the fan group has been officially formed, calling itself "no one knows", and the people inside, regardless of gender, regardless of age, collectively call Zhou Xiao as: Brother Xiao.
This point was brought up by Zhao Jinmai, and the girl posted a few photos of the two of them scolding each other on WeChat, and Zhou Xiao's opening remarks every time were: Why don't you go to study, which aroused everyone's attention, and when I saw that the remarks were Brother Xiao, everyone thought it sounded good, so they quoted it directly.
Kugou has been the No. 1 in downloads for four consecutive weeks, but the number of single CDs sold has surprised many media and singers, reaching a terrible 110,000 copies, which is a remarkable achievement in recent years.
The media with good things wanted to find some black material to see if the brokerage company had done something, in order to support his family, after checking, he found that Daosui turned out to be a small company with a big fart, and interviewed the owners of many video stores, and it also proved that it was indeed fan consumption, so he could only follow the report.
In short, July is a hard month and a harvest month.
Zhou Xiao can finally return to Jinling to rest and rest, no matter what he does, he must have a degree, too much, with the title of singer, a single has been out for a month, which is already a bit excessive.
Occasionally, I went back to Jinling twice in a hurry, a little bit of Dayu's feeling, three times through the door without entering, and then his wife... Can't talk nonsense!
In addition, I can't fail to mention Brother Wang, the hardest thing is him, it is not an exaggeration to call it a nanny, in addition to being responsible for things at work, life is also all dependent on his care, sleep no more than five hours a day, when Zhou Xiao is shooting, it is common to take a nap in the car, drivers, porters, tour guides, negotiations, errands... There's nothing he doesn't do.
Although after running for a week, the team has been upgraded from 2 people to 4, and the cauldron has sent professional makeup artists and stylists over, but when it comes to cooperation, it is still more compatible with Brother Wang, and the other two have to be familiar with each other.
......
"Zhou Xiao, wake up, it's almost here. ”
"Hmm..." Zhou Xiao took off his blindfold and hat and yawned.
He was really tired, and when he got on the plane, he swore that he would go home, excited, and definitely not fall asleep, but in less than twenty minutes, he fell asleep.
The air ticket is booked in person by the cauldron, and the business class is basically economical.
Seeing Zhou Xiao rubbing his eyes, Brother Wang beckoned, called the flight attendant, asked for hot towels and water, and still faithfully played the role of an agent.
It's just that Zhou Xiao wiped his face and found that the young lady was still standing on the side.
"Can you sign me, I'm also a member that no one knows, and there's a QQ group. The stewardess half-crouched on the side, looking expectant.
"Okay, but now the dark circles are heavier, don't dislike it. Zhou Xiao sat up straight.
"No, no!" she shook her hand and pulled out a pen and paper from behind her.
Brother Wang listened to it on the side, so what does the signature have to do with dark circles, the young lady is probably too excited, and the answer comes and goes.
However, when I got off the plane, I still took a group photo with several flight attendants at the door.
With his previous experience, Zhou Xiao will no longer feel that the artist three-piece set with masks and sunglasses and hats is redundant, it's okay for fans to officially pick up the plane, someone organizes it, I'm afraid of being discovered temporarily, and then I have to rush over, it's terrible!
When I came back this time, the fans of Jinling didn't know about it and acted secretly.
The four of them went out of the door with several large boxes, and they saw the cauldron waving there, knowing that there was a lot of luggage, so they specially changed to a large business car.
"Welcome back, I've already arranged it, first go to eat a seafood dinner, then KTV, and then wash your feet, how about it?" said the cauldron excitedly, but none of the four responded.
"Forget it. Zhou Xiao shook his head: "Look at them, they are all tired, how can they have the heart to go crazy with you, it is true that people should go back to rest quickly." ”
The cauldron looked back awkwardly: "Sure not to go." ”
Several people nodded in unison.
"Okay," the cauldron smacked his mouth a little silently, the team returned triumphantly, he, as the boss, must have wanted to show it, planned for an afternoon, but was vetoed, so angry!
"Mr. Guo, when we get to the city, just drop us off and take the car back by yourself. Brother Wang said.
"Don't," Zhou Xiao leaned over and patted the cauldron on the shoulder: "All sent home, let's go back at the end, they will take care of me all the way." ”
The cauldron smiled: "Zhou Daxing spoke, don't dare not listen, you can rest assured, and then take a three-day holiday, have a good rest, and adjust." ”
"Thank you, boss!" was much more enthusiastic.
The cauldron is a little discouraged, the boss admires his face and invites you to eat, and he is happy to hear the spicy holiday, hey...
Zhou Xiao turned a deaf ear to his sighs, and finally went home, in a very good mood, looking at the familiar street scene outside the window, the whole person relaxed, and hummed a song unconsciously.
Brother Wang glanced back and smiled.
"By the way, what's my latest itinerary?"
"What, aren't you tired?" Brother Wang scratched his head, what should I do if the artist is too active, wait online, I'm in a hurry.
"No, just ask. ”
"Your appearance rate is enough, and the programs and advertisements filmed will also be broadcast one after another, don't worry, the popularity of the singer has gone down, and now it has to change from a quantitative route to a boutique route," said his own work, Brother Wang is still professional: "Before, I wanted to use the popularity of the singer, similar to a volcanic eruption, try to brush my face well, just be full."
Through hard work, half of my feet are basically solid in the entertainment industry, and I have to think about other things, you don't have to worry about these, just leave it to me. ”
Brother Wang has proved how reliable he is with practical actions, originally the agent's income is linked to the artist, if he can top three of the top three by running a notice, he himself doesn't have to be so tired.
"Then I'm tired of Brother Wang, and besides, don't arrange work in the past week, I want to rest, I want to sleep, I want to play games!" Zhou Xiao said three times in a row.
"I originally arranged for half a month, since you said seven days, then seven days. ”
"Don't don't, just kidding. ”
There was a pleasant laugh from the carriage.
I took my suitcase and returned to my accommodation, it was almost eleven o'clock.
"How is it," the cauldron was a little proud: "This month when you are away, I cleaned up when I was fine, and today I also did a special cleaning, and your quilt covers and sheets have been washed, full of the smell of the sun." ”
"That's the smell of mite carcasses being dried. ”
"Say thank you and you'll die. The cauldron was not happy: "Let's watch it tomorrow, let's drink some of it?"
"Okay. Zhou Xiao didn't want to move for the time being, so he changed his slippers and sat on the sofa.
"Beer or red?"
"It's red, and I drank a lot of beer. ”
"Okay. ”
"I seem to have candied meat jerky from fans in my box, you look for it, the little one. ”
"Okay!"
The cauldron is surprisingly obedient, the reason is very simple, Zhou Xiao will make money, those that have been recorded and those that have not yet arrived, roughly calculated, there are about more than seven million, all of which have been running for more than a month.
The most important thing is influence, many people have known through him that Daosui, a small economic company, used to go out to run business, and when he said his name, he never stopped at all, and the difficulty was automatically upgraded by 200%.
But since Zhou Xiao became famous, there are some people who have gained the Tao, the feeling of the chicken dog ascending to heaven, it is not him, other agents go out for business, as soon as they say that it is the rice ear, they will ask if it is Zhou Xiao's company, and after getting a positive answer, they immediately replaced it with good tea.
In the end, it's one thing to negotiate or not, but the attitude is very comfortable.
Moreover, most of them hope that it is an air duct machine, Zhou Xiao will star, and then other artists in the company will join as additives, which is also a common method in the entertainment industry.
With the initial results of the point, the cauldron will naturally have to be tightened Zhou Xiao, a person who is fat is not fat, his goal is to make everyone fat.
"Celebrate your victory, cheers!"
Bite!
A crisp clinking of glasses sounded.
"Thank you!"
"Do you need to spend money now, I mean big money. The cauldron suddenly said.
"What's wrong, there's something wrong with the company's economy?"
"How is it possible, not counting your income, now it's just a small loss, and I'm confident that I will balance next month and then make a profit. ”
"What does that mean?"
"Remember the contract given to you, it's almost a year away, and it's almost time to think about renewing it. "Cauldron with wine glass, trying to keep his emotions in check.
Be!
The two are good brothers and get along very happily, but he understands the principle of people going to high places, and with Zhou Xiao's current popularity, he announced that the contract is about to arrive, and I am afraid that the threshold will be broken.
"So what. Zhou Xiao guessed what he was going to say, just to see what method he would use, he had actually received calls from many companies a long time ago, wanting to dig him up, to be honest, he refused without hesitation at all.
"So if you are not in a hurry to use the money, there are about five million after tax in the account, how about it as a share?"
"Oh, how many shares are you going to give me?"
“49%!”
"Damn, you're crazy. Zhou Xiao almost spilled the wine.
"Hehe," the cauldron didn't care: "How, I don't think it's much, our company is now a well-known person, the backbone, to put it mildly, it doesn't matter if my boss is not there, if you are not there, you will return to the pre-liberation overnight, which is equivalent to an empty shell."
What luxury car can I give you, exclusive agent, makeup artist, everyone can give it, I don't have the resources that others have, what to do, play the emotional card, then you can play for a year, two years, and a lifetime.
The only thing I did, and what they couldn't, was shares. ”
The cauldron took a long sip of red wine, paused for a few seconds, and continued.
"I don't know what you think, a few million seems like a lot, but really, you can only buy a suite in Jinling, not in the city center, in other companies, probably only buy some stocks, not shares, but as long as you have confidence, we will work together to dry the rice ears, I believe it must be the best investment." ”
"Hmm... I agreed!"
"Yes, you need to think again... Wait, what are you talking about?" the cauldron was stunned.
"I said I agreed, Mr. Guo!" Zhou Xiao raised his glass.
"It's that simple?" the cauldron tilted his head: "Don't think about it anymore?"
"Think of a fart, why should you be the boss and be angry at someone else's hands, come, cheers!"
"Okay, cheers!"
Bite!
"However, the stake will not be too much, 49% eh. ”
"Not much, not much, in fact, I took advantage of it, and I only invested 10 million, but your popularity is a hidden asset, and its value is immeasurable. ”
"Let's talk about it first, I don't care. Zhou Xiao was also in a happy mood.
"Of course, you just have to keep your hair glowing outside, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Then to celebrate, you go fry a few eggs and serve it as a snack. ”
"There are no eggs at home, and since you left, you haven't started the fire. ”
"Okay......"
