Chapter 121 (Medium)

October 10 is a memorable day for Zhang Shaoyu. On this day, he signed two contracts. One is the renewal of the contract of Sanxiang Group for one year, and this time Chen Wenzhong was willing to spend money and gave five million. There are two reasons for this, one is that Zhang Shaoyu endorses the automobile products of Sanxiang Group, which quickly became popular. is not only Zhang Shaoyu's star effect, but also the advertising credit he personally directed.

The second is that Jacky Communication Corporation renewed the contract with Zhang Shaoyu for five years, with a contract fee of three million for one year and 15 million for five years. And the two-year contract signed just a few months ago is only 250,000 a year. In just a few months, his worth has exploded more than tenfold.

There is a reason for this, whether it is Chen Wenzhong of the Sanxiang Group or Brother Xian of Jakcy, they are very shrewd businessmen and will not spend a penny wrongfully. When Zhang Shaoyu first signed the contract, he had only one identity, that is, the champion of the Xiaoqiang Cup. He is indeed super popular, but he has not been affirmed by the market, and everything is empty talk.

But now it's different, the advertising effect of his endorsement is remarkable, the TV series he filmed has a frenzy of ratings, and the songs he created are selling very well on the Internet. The market recognizes him, and he has value. Therefore, Sanxiang Group and Jacky Communication saw the opportunity and renewed the contract in time.

20 million in the account, it seems like a lot, but Zhang Shaoyu himself understands the weight of it. The seven-year contract is a sign of the importance that Brother Xian values himself, and it is also a heavy responsibility. Fortunately, he himself is very optimistic about the development prospects of jakcy's communication, and "the person who is a confidant dies, and the woman is the one who pleases himself", Brother Xian is so loving, he can only work hard to repay.

That's not all, listening to Vicky, many manufacturers have been contacting Jakcy Communication recently, hoping to hire Zhang Shaoyu as the image spokesperson, and many performers also hope that Zhang Shaoyu can go to the residency to sing, and the appearance fees are very high, and the other party pays taxes.

However, the company does not dare to be sloppy. Zhang Shaoyu is now the company's number one seed, and usually the company looks at him like a treasure. Now his work intensity is so high, he has to shoot TV series and endorsements all day long, and he has to find time to create, record, and shoot MTV, and the schedule is full, so he can't spare time at all.

Moreover, advertising endorsements should be cautious. A celebrity, what kind of advertisement is suitable for endorsement, and what kind of impact an endorsement of an advertisement will have on his image, are all knowledgeable and exquisite. Over the years, have there been fewer jokes due to celebrity endorsements for inappropriate ads?

Zhou Xun was originally a quirky little girl, so she naturally didn't have to say anything about acting, but she was too imprudent to receive advertisements, a little girl actually accepted an advertisement for "Crow White Phoenix Pill", do you know what the function of that thing is......? Khan one.

There is also the eldest sister in the mainland music scene, who is about to run to forty, and actually accepted a jelly advertisement for "Happy Wolf", don't you know that the consumption of jelly is all young people in their teens and twenties? How do you look at it?

In view of this, the company had to be cautious and carefully select advertisements suitable for Zhang Shaoyu's image, age and temperament. The CEOs of several brand-name shampoos personally came to lobby, hoping to invite Zhang Shaoyu. But no matter how scary the price was, the company still refused. Because there are too many celebrities shooting shampoos now, Zhang Shaoyu is playing with a new idea, and what he wants is something special.

On this day, the company holds a regular quarterly meeting. Zhang Shaoyu arrived on time in the car, and when he saw the company's parking lot, it was like a famous car exhibition, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Audi, and it seemed that the company's artists were here.

The conference room is full of people, the artists are all young people, and they are in the same company, usually everyone is busy with their own work, and it is rare to get together, so when they meet, there are naturally endless words and endless things to say. As soon as Zhang Shaoyu stepped into the conference room, others greeted him one after another.

This kid is not very old, but he is talented, and he has been in the limelight recently, and he has already been promoted to the ranks of first-line artists. In addition, although others are popular, they don't have any shelves, and they are usually generous, and they often invite artists from the same company to have a meal or drink wine. So everyone has a good impression of him.

At the meeting, Brother Xian, the head of JAKCY Communication Corporation, praised Zhang Shaoyu by name and praised him. Zhang Shaoyu is neither humble nor arrogant, and his manners are decent, which makes people envious.

After the meeting, the artists under JAKCY Communication proposed to collectively slaughter Zhang Shaoyu. said that this kid has made a fortune recently, at least tens of millions. These people are all big names, and they say that if they don't have 10,000 dollars, they can't get it down. Zhang Shaoyu didn't frown, and agreed. Because he was planning to discuss with these buddies and sisters, when his restaurant opened, he must come to cheer him on.

was about to go out together, but Brother Xian left Zhang Shaoyu behind, saying that he had something to discuss. Everyone was not depressed, so they had to save it for the next time.

Entering Brother Xian's office, Zhang Shaoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xian, what's the matter?" Brother Xian's office is not comparable to the general old department, his office is the size of a living room, and there are wine cabinets, bookcases, and even a small golf ball.

Brother Xian was standing in front of the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of foreign wine, and poured two glasses, Zhang Shaoyu couldn't even call his name.

walked to the front of the sofa, handed Zhang Shaoyu a glass, sat down opposite him, raised the glass, Brother Xian said happily: "Come, have a drink, it should be Brother Xian to celebrate your success." When you release an album in the future, I will hold a grand celebration reception for you. ”

Zhang Shaoyu smiled slightly, clinked glasses with the boss, and took a sip gently. Now that Brother Xian has said this, it seems that the day when he will release an album is not far away. That's what I've always dreamed of, hehe, I've been looking forward to it for a long time.

"How is it? Are you still busy lately, and will the work be too intense?" Brother Xian asked.

Zhang Shaoyu nodded: "Tired is a little tired, but people are young, what are you afraid of? The filming has been going smoothly in the past two days, and almost all of the time I passed it at one time, and Director Zhou rarely called my card." Sanxiang Group's endorsement is also doing well, it is flying around. I've done the math, I'll spend at least two days a week on a plane, hehe. ”

Brother Xian listened to Zhang Shaoyu's words and nodded incessantly, he is also an artist and can understand the difficulties of artists. However, although this is tiring, it is worth it, you take a plane out, and the money you earn back, ordinary people may not be able to earn it after several years of hard work.

Busy is the standard for whether an artist is popular or not. The busier you are, the more popular you are, and the day you are idle, it means that you are out of breath.

"Oh, by the way, several of the pieces on your website are selling well. The company implements a guaranteed sharing system, and the minimum guarantee for one of your works is 500,000, Vicky told you, right? However, your works have already exceeded this number, and in two days I will let the website calculate your first installment and put it on your account. Brother Xian said in detail, but Zhang Shaoyu didn't have the patience to listen, he has always had a vague concept of money, just earning, as for these trivial things, naturally someone has to worry about it.

"Okay, the company can just do it, I've never cared much about these things. Zhang Shaoyu took a sip of wine, felt that it tasted good, and drank two more sips.

Brother Xian laughed when he heard what he said: "Hehe, you are very similar to me, so am I, I don't know how much money I make, just work, work is my life, and someone will naturally worry about other things." Oh, and recently, many manufacturers and performers have been contacting companies to ask you to be an image spokesperson and do commercial performances. The advertising thing is not urgent, the company has to be responsible for you, you must be carefully selected, but there are a few commercial performances, the price is good, I will show you the contract. ”

Brother Xian stood up as he spoke, walked to his desk, tossed for a while, and took out a few contracts and walked over.

Zhang Shaoyu was a little surprised, it stands to reason that his agent should be responsible for these things, how can Brother Xian take care of his own affairs?

Zhang Shaoyu took the contracts and took a cursory look, there are Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, and the appearance fees offered ranged from 300,000 to 600,000 yuan, and some included tax and some did not include tax. Personal income tax is not a sloppy thing, do you remember Aunt Liu's tragic situation? If you don't do it, you will get into the bureau, and you will be ruined.

"Brother Xian, but I have to film recently, and I have to endorse, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time, right?" "Money is a good thing, but money can't be earned in a lifetime." Now that I'm filming, I'm going to engage in commercial performances, so let's not talk about delaying it for a day.

Brother Xian nodded: "You don't have to worry about this, the crew always has to take a holiday." The company came forward, said hello to the crew, and took a two-day holiday, you are even working on National Day, and this time you have to make up for the leave. ”

Zhang Shaoyu thought about it, too, the crew has been filming all the time, and they have never taken a holiday. Taking advantage of this holiday, there should be no problem with taking on a commercial performance, besides, commercial performances have always been liked by artists. You only need to appear and sing a few songs, and hundreds of thousands of dollars will go into your pocket like this, why not?

"In addition, there is another happy event, you should have received the news, right?" Brother Xian looked at Zhang Shaoyu and smiled slightly.

Zhang Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, happy event, what happy event? shook his head, and said suspiciously: "I don't know, what's the matter?"

Brother Xian looked at him for a while, and after making sure that Zhang Shaoyu was not pretending to be stupid, he sighed: "It seems that you are really too busy, and you haven't received news for such a big matter." In two months, the Chinese Music Chart Awards Ceremony will be held in Shanghai, don't you know that you have been shortlisted?"

Zhang Shaoyu sat there and was dizzy for a long time, what? Chinese Music Chart Award Ceremony?

As a singer, I have two wishes in my life. One is to release an album record, and the other is to win an award. The music scene has always been full of award ceremonies, and among them, the Chinese music chart is the most influential.

A national awards ceremony will be held in the Chinese Music Chart, with singers from the Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places participating. Whoever can win the award at this awards ceremony means that you have been recognized in the music world this year. Zhang Shaoyu has been immersed in work and creation, and he never thought that he would win the award. Therefore, Brother Xian brought it up all of a sudden, which made him a little overjoyed.

Seeing that Zhang Shaoyu was stunned there for a long time without speaking, Brother Xian smiled happily: "How is it? Le stupid, right? Haha, I have been singing songs for more than ten years, and at most I have only won the Best Dialect Male Singer at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards." You are different, among the top ten golden songs this year, your "Indifferent Smile" may win an award. Plus, you're half hopeful of being the best newcomer. ”

"Who is the other half?" Zhang Shaoyu subconsciously asked when he heard this.

"Li Yuchun. Brother Xian replied slowly. Oh, it turned out to be her, well, she has always been very popular in the mainland, almost the entire Chinese circle knows about her existence, and it is possible for her to win the best newcomer award. Now as singers, the things that compete with each other are record sales, appearance fees, and award ceremonies.

The first two prove that the market recognizes you, and the latter proves that the professionals recognize you, and the weight is almost the same. Zhang Shaoyu is also full of expectations for this, the best newcomer dare not think that it will not be in vain to get a golden song for a year.

"I have high hopes for you and hope that you will have a good time at this award ceremony. Since the establishment of our company, there has never been a single singer who has made achievements at the award ceremony. This time, you're going to have to fight for me. Brother Xian said.

Zhang Shaoyu smiled silently, these things are not something that he can control, but it depends on whether the judges give face.

"There's another thing, I heard Andy say, you bought the copyright of an online work and plan to raise funds to shoot a movie?" Brother Xian suddenly mentioned this matter, which reminded Zhang Shaoyu that he had never found a chance to tell him about this, Liu Deye contributed part of it, he contributed part of it, and Brother Xian contributed another part, and today is just an opportunity.

"Yes, Brother Xian, I was just looking for a chance to tell you about this. Brother Hua suggested, let's raise funds to shoot this movie, I am very optimistic about the prospects of this movie......" Zhang Shaoyu was about to tell Brother Xian in detail about the situation of this movie, but he didn't expect that Brother Xian interrupted him.

"Shaoyu, think twice before doing everything, and don't do things that you are not sure of. I consulted experts in this area, and I also asked several famous directors in China, and they all said that the prospects of this film are not so good, after all, there are lessons from the past. Therefore...... "Brother Xian's meaning is already obvious, he will not invest."

Zhang Shaoyu was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that Brother Xian had already vetoed it before he finished listening to his words. Damn, which big director? Damn, I know all the big directors in China, which grandson is pulling my hind legs, Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige? Damn, a few days ago, I played mahjong and called me a brother, and as soon as I turned around, he stabbed me, which is really unkind.
