Chapter 320: Hermes spokesperson
Originally, according to Ling Yanran's thoughts, she was ready to hang Li Qingyuan's appetite, but she never thought that her saying this made him understand, this is clearly the movie that Ning Hao relied on to become famous! Think about it, in the previous life, just this summer, this movie that made Liu Tianwang win the name of Bole became the biggest dark horse of Chinese movies in 06, it won a box office of 23.5 million at a cost of 3.5 million, becoming the tenth place in the Chinese box office that year, and it just so happened that this movie became popular with the future Chinese 3 billion actor Huang Bo.
Li Qingyuan was deserting, which made Ling Yanran feel that she had aroused his interest, and she deliberately left him and hid in the suite.
With the promise of Li Qingyuan, a rich man, reports about Ling Yanran occupied the front page of the entertainment pages of major newspapers and magazines that night, and Ling Yanran, a star rich woman from China, walked into the eyes of the European and American people for the first time.
Early the next morning, the Cannes Film Festival seemed to lose its appeal, and more than half of the reporters who had surrounded the red carpet gathered around the Martinez Hotel.
But it's a pity that Ling Yanran is destined to not be able to go out today, and not long after breakfast in the morning, Patrick Thomas, the head of the famous French luxury jewelry brand Hermes, appeared in the hotel.
"Mr. Thomas, I wonder what you are doing here?" Li Qingyuan ushered Patrick Thomas into the living room of the suite.
"Mr. Li may not be familiar with me, but in Huaxia, Hermes has had in-depth cooperation with the 'Tianchao Jiangnan' real estate company, and we have opened stores in all the 'Qingyuan City' in Huaxia, and we are the collaborator Mr. Li!"
"I'm delighted to be working with a world-renowned brand like Hermès. May I sit Mr. Thomas, are you here for the Cannes Film Festival?"
"No, no, no, I'm not from the film industry, I'm here for Miss Ling today, and I want to invite her to be the spokesperson of Hermes!" Patrick Thomas looked at Ling Yanran and nodded to her with a smile.
"Endorsement is not a problem, it depends on how sincere Mr. Thomas is!"
"Hermès has never lacked sincerity, and we have prepared a five-year contract for which we will pay 50 million euros!"
"10 million euros a year is a huge income for most celebrities, but unfortunately it doesn't impress us. β
Patrick Thomas's gaze wandered over the two of them for a while, and found that Ling Yanran was just watching them talk quietly without interfering at all, what was the idea of this world's top rich woman?
"Miss Ling, I know that this 10 million euros is nothing to you, but according to your previous expenses as a product spokesperson in Huaxia, it has increased several times, and we are very sincere. β
"Don't forget, Mr. Thomas, she hasn't become the richest person in the world before. There is no other star in the world who can compare to her, not even Michael Jackson!"
"Mr. Ke Li should understand that in terms of popularity, there is still a huge gap between Miss Ling and Michael Jackson. β
Li Qingyuan took Ling Yanran's slender hand and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said: "Since last night, such a gap has been shrinking, it won't take long for Yanran to become a real diva, no star in the world can have resources like her, money is simply a trivial matter for us, what I want now is for everyone to recognize her status as a diva, all this starts with her due worth!"
"I see, so how much does Mr. Li want to meet Miss Ling's worth?"
Li Qingyuan raised two fingers and shook them in front of Patrick Thomas, and said, "20 million euros!"
Patrick Thomas gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time, and said, "20 million is no problem, but Miss Ling must sign a ten-year contract with us!"
This person is ruthless enough, he dares to bet on Ling Yanran's popularity in the future, Li Qingyuan will not let him get his wish like this, and said: "If you want to sign for ten years, you can do it, and the endorsement fee will increase by 10% every year in the future!"
"Mr. Li, you can't do this, based on 20 million euros, wait until the tenth year, Hermes will pay nearly 50 million euros in endorsement fees, which is an astronomical amount that we can't accept!" Patrick Thomas raised his voice, and the original suave became a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Thomas, don't get excited, condition
I have already prescribed, can you accept it you can go back and discuss it with the board members, and ask Mr. Thomas to make a decision as soon as possible, we will not stay in Cannes for more than three days. β
Patrick Thomas came full of hope and returned full of disappointment, before he came, he always thought that the sky-high endorsement fee of 10 million euros would definitely be able to win Ling Yanran, but he didn't expect Li Qingyuan to intervene sideways and stir up good things!
As soon as Patrick Thomas walked like this, Ling Yanran, who had always maintained a ladylike appearance, picked up Li Qingyuan's ears and said, "Why are you acting like you're asking for money." β
"Hey, daughter-in-law, modern people judge the status of stars by how much money they have, we can not care about money but not about status!" Li Qingyuan said with a slanted face holding his neck.
The organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival made it possible for "Mulan" to participate in the main competition unit in the face of Ling Yanran and Ridley, although it was to participate in the main competition unit, but in this Cannes Film Festival, which is extremely repulsive to commercial films, it is absolutely impossible to win any award with the urine of the French.
Ling Yanran didn't bother much on this point, she simply showed her face a little at the premiere of "Mulan", and then stopped showing her head.
Ling Yanran's publicity team got a rare leisure time, Jiang Yan originally thought that as long as Ling Yanran appeared, the well-known French merchants would definitely come forward to seek cooperation like a shark that smelled blood, leaving Hermes aside, in fact, the French luxury jewelry brand did send negotiators, but Li Qingyuan's price of 20 million euros discouraged these negotiators.
Three days flew by, and on Sunday, Li Qingyuan retired from the presidential suite to return to China, where they met Patrick Thomas again in the lobby of the Martinez Hotel.
"Mr. Li, Miss Ling, are you preparing to return to Huaxia?" Patrick Thomas's gaze wandered over their luggage.
"'Mulan' has been screened at the Cannes Film Festival, it has been well received by the audience, our goal has been achieved, there is no point in staying in Cannes anymore. β
"How can it be meaningless! Mr. Li, isn't our cooperation still unfinished!"
"Unless Mr. Thomas can agree to the conditions we have proposed, our negotiations are just a waste of time. β
"Can't Mr. Li lower the price a little?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Thomas, the price is not the key, what I want is recognition, if Hermes can recognize Miss Ling's status in the entertainment industry, then you won't care about such a little bit of effort. β
"Miss Ling, can Mr. Li make the decision for you?"
Ling Yanran covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, leaned her whole person on Li Qingyuan and said, "Please Mr. Thomas help me keep it a secret, in fact, Mr. Li Qingyuan is my husband!"
Patrick Thomas looked at the pair of golden boys and girls in front of him dumbfounded, how is this possible! Isn't it said that Guan Yeyue, the richest woman in the world, is Li Qingyuan's wife? Isn't this relationship a bit chaotic, Thomas suddenly wanted to be quiet and sort out the insufficient brain capacity.
"Ahh......h ......Thomas's fingers shook back and forth between the two of them a few times, and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, Ms. Ling, Hermes accepts your conditions, but we have to sit down and discuss the details in detail!"
"As long as Mr. Thomas agrees to our terms, then the details will naturally be negotiated with you by the agent. β
β¦β¦
The online game "Huaxia Kyushu" has become the most popular game after more than 20 days of operation.
In the office on the top floor of "Zhanfan", Zhang Yang sat on the swivel chair and spun around with a big grin, and kept saying: "Brother Li, our six sets of servers are all full, do you think we should increase the servers?"
"How many people have registered for the game so far?"
"As of this morning, the number of registrations for our game has reached 2.8 million, and the number of paying has exceeded 1.5 million, and this month's income alone has reached 45 million, how about Brother Li should give some rewards!" Zhang Yang jumped up and came to Li Qingyuan's side and said.
"It seems to be really good, congratulations, my boss, your dream has finally come true. Li Qingyuan hooked Zhang Yang's neck and said.
"Hey, Brother Li, don't tell me about your dreams at this time, be realistic and give me some benefits. Zhang Yang pulled his arm and said.
"Okay, okay, no problem, follow Uncle Li to have meat to eat, I'll give you some motivation, as long as it's 'Helium Star Game Entertainment Company' in the future."
I will take 10% of the net profit as an additional reward for all employees, how about it?"
Zhang Yang didn't expect Li Qingyuan to be so generous, this 10% profit is not a small amount, according to the current form, it may exceed 100 million in a year, the game company now has only 200 people, isn't there 500,000 to everyone, this is too much!
"Brother Li, the annual income of our game company employees is about 5-60,000 yuan, and your extra benefits are inevitably excessive, almost reaching the level of 10 times the salary, which is too much, not good!"
"What, reluctantly?" Li Qingyuan raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him for a long time.
Zhang Yang shrank his head, reached out and pinched his nose, and said, "It's not that I'm reluctant, but I'm afraid that my brothers will lose their motivation to fight if they have money." β
"Yo yes, you know how to turn your brain, so what do you say you should do?"
"Brother Li, you know that I am also a top student who graduated from Shuangdan University. Zhang Yang broke away Li Qingyuan's arm that was clasping his neck, flashed to the side, and continued: "The welfare of the brothers, I plan to take two steps, take advantage of the big sales of our game, first send them a red envelope, and then give them more when the bonus is issued at the end of the year, so that at least leave them a thought." β
"It's a bit of a gimmicky, okay, just do as you say. In addition, I will prepare six more sets of servers for you, and I will ask Brother Gu to send them to you in two days. β
Sending away the satisfied Zhang Yang, Li Qingyuan set his sights on Helium Star Entertainment Group, he has not been there since the merger of the film and television company and the "Tian Lai" record company, and it just so happened that there were a few movies to be released this time, so he took the opportunity to care about it and save Jiang Yan from nagging.
"Yo, Sister Jiang is busy!" Li Qingyuan broke into Jiang Yan's office, who was typing on the computer.
"Busy you big-headed ghost, in vain I arranged a propaganda team for Yanran to go to Cannes together, but you pushed the benefits of sending to the door with a word!" Jiang Yan grabbed the pen on the desk and threw it over.
Li Qingyuan scooped up the pen with one hand, put it back on the table, and said with a smiling face: "I know the value of Yanran very well, I can't let her lower her price for no reason, and when "Mulan" is released worldwide, they will regret it!"
"I don't have as much confidence as you, "Mulan" invested 100 million US dollars to protect the capital, and it needs at least 200 million or more box office to succeed, which is too difficult. You have to know that the annual box office of Huaxia last year was only 20 billion, how much do you want to share in it!"
"Selling peripherals, selling CDs, and selling broadcast rights, our film and television network has another movie that attracts the attention of the masses, and the movie "Mulan" can't lose money no matter what. β
"Forget it, I can't talk about you. What do you want to do today when you suddenly come here for no reason, I can tell you, Yanran is not here!" Jiang Yan stared at him like a thief, Li Qingyuan, this guy is fine, but he will never come to the film and television company.
"Hey, Sister Jiang, what kind of eyes are you, like a thief. Li Qingyuan sat down on the sofa, poured a glass of water and dried it up.
"If you have something, just say it, don't delay my time. Jiang Yan gave him a blank look and said.
Turning Erlang's legs, Li Qingyuan lit a cigar and said, "I heard Yanran say that our company made a small-budget movie, I'll ask about the situation." β
"Our company has made a lot of movies, but there is more than one small-budget movie, and we have also invested in "Golden Armor" starring Zhou Xiaotianwang. β
"That's a good thing! Make more movies to increase the company's popularity, that is, make money and earn popularity!" Li Qingyuan spat out a smoke ring, he almost forgot about it, "Golden Armor" was the first box office in China that year.
"It's hard to say whether you make money or not, Lao Mouzi can spend money, this movie has invested a total of 300 million, if the global box office is not good, maybe you will lose money!"
"Sister Jiang, don't keep thinking about losing money, there is no kind of business in the world that is sure to make money without losing money, since you have made an investment, you have to bear this risk. What I'm concerned about now is whether there will be any conflict between these movies on schedules. β
"Don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing. I have already arranged the release date, "" will be released in late June, avoiding "Mulan", which will be released at the end of July, and "Golden Armor" is still in post-production, and it is estimated that it will be released in December. β
"That's good! I'm very optimistic about this movie, it will be a dark horse, although it doesn't cost much to shoot, but Sister Jiang, you have to promote it more. β
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door.
