Chapter 89: Refusal to accept endorsements

Because Li Cai uploaded the song "Fox Bark" to YouTube, the result was that the song became popular.

In less than three days, there were 4.2 million hits, and the number of visits exceeded 100 million within 32 days of launch, breaking the original record.

Because it was 10 years, PSY's Gangnam style had not yet come out, but even Gangnam style took 52 days to break through 100 million visits, so it can be said that Li Cai's record will be maintained for a long time, and it is almost difficult to be broken.

The song released by Li Cai in September made its debut in the top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart on October 3, climbing from thirteenth to eighth. In this week's Hot 100 singles chart, this song is the song with the most download sales, and in the digital download singles chart, this song ranks 15th with 73,000 copies sold, which is the best result achieved by a Chinese person on the chart. According to statistics, "Fox Call" also topped the iTunes singles chart in Finland, Switzerland, South Korea and other ten countries at the same time, creating a "zero publicity cost" sales of 75,000 copies in the first week.

Looking at the achievements of Li Cai's song, many trolls on the Internet have nothing to say.

This also led to many endorsements and commercial performances, which flocked to Li Cai.

But Li Cai refused, feeling that it was too troublesome, and his family was not short of that money, so there was no need to run around and look at people's faces for this money.

And Li Cai's excellent music and song production ability has made many music companies want to sign contracts with Li Cai, and they have proposed lucrative contracts.

And Huayi Brothers Music Company, which is familiar with Li's mother, naturally wants to get close to the water and get the moon first, and sign Li Cai with the relationship that is familiar with Li's mother.

But Li Cai is not ready to enter the entertainment industry, so he intends to refuse, after all, he will not be free after signing the contract, and he will carry out commercial activities and the like, Li Cai is naturally unwilling to do it.

However, Huayi Brothers Music Company said that it was only for Li Cai to be named, and in the future, the song will be released by their company for sale and promotion, and other commercial activities will be decided by Li Cai himself, so there are no restrictions on what can be said.

Although Li Cai was puzzled, Li's mother told him that he had some shares in Huayi Brothers Music Company, although it was not much, but it was also a shareholder, and what they valued was Li Cai's reputation in the sports world.

If Li Cai can become an international superstar in tennis, then they will make a lot of money.

After knowing that Li Ma had some shares, and adding that Li Cai was not restricted, the contract could be canceled at any time, which was considered a nominee, and Li Cai agreed.

Anyway, when you release songs in the future, you don't have to worry about it, just leave it to the company, and you don't have to worry about hacking yourself on the Internet, there are big companies to help you solve it.

Although it has its own public relations team, it is naturally inferior to companies in the entertainment industry and has many channels.

After signing a contract with Huayi, Li asked them to withdraw their commercial and advertising endorsements and prepare for the Huaguo Open tennis tournament with peace of mind.

Li Cai is training with Xu Feng on the tennis court.

And Liu Qing in the public relations team, who is also the general person in charge of Li Cai's related matters specially invited by Li's mother, came to the tennis court quickly.

Seeing that Li Cai was still training, Liu Qing waited silently beside him until Li finished fighting.

While resting, Li Cai saw Liu Qing coming, and asked casually, "Is something wrong again?"

Liu Qing was wearing a black professional suit, a pair of black-framed glasses, and her whole body was black.

I saw her push her eyes with her hand, and then said slowly: "There is an endorsement, I want you to take a look." ”

Li Cai was very impatient when he heard that it was an endorsement, and said, "Didn't you ask you to push it off!"

Liu Qing listened to Li Cai's impatient answer and hurriedly explained.

"You're being asked to endorse a brand from a big company, and the fee is amazing, and the endorsement is a good fit for you. ”

Li Cai is still a teenager, although he looks mature, he still looks very immature, and some big brands will naturally not look for Li Cai.

After all, Li Cai's fame is not very big, he is only famous with a song, and he may be depressed after a while, so only some brands that are not famous ask Li Cai to endorse.

Li Cai naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it, unless it was some well-known brand, he would consider it.

Originally, Li Cai thought that he would wait until he won a Grand Slam championship in tennis before a big company would ask him to endorse him.

I didn't expect it to be so soon.

So, Li Cai asked: "What kind of company?" ”

Liu Qing replied: "It was Sony that asked you to endorse their mobile phones. ”

Although he didn't understand why Sony would find himself to endorse, Li Cai still refused.

Liu Qing refused to Li Cai, very incomprehensible, and asked: "Why refuse, Sony is a world-renowned large company, and the endorsement fee is also very good, and the endorsement is also appropriate!"

Li Cai said simply and directly: "In the future, the company of Neon Country will ask me to endorse me, and I will refuse." ”

Hearing Li Cai's reason, although Liu Qing did not agree with Li Cai's idea, he was only a part-time worker and could only listen to the words of the small boss.

So, Liu Qing asked, "What reason is it to reject Sony?"

Li Cai felt more and more impatient, and felt that Liu Qing, who was invited by Li's mother, was very slow, and he had to ask the reason before, it was just an elm head.

Li Cai had no choice but to say: "Just say yes, I won't endorse the company in Neon Country, that's all." ”

Liu Qing listened to it and was stunned for a while before saying: "It's not good, after all, it's a world-renowned large company, if you refuse like this, it will not be good for someone to come to you for endorsement in the future." ”

Li Cai snorted, feeling that this Liu Qing was very eyeless, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he just put her aside and started training again.

Seeing Li Cai hanging himself aside and going to training, Liu Qing knew that it was upset to provoke Li Cai, so he had to go back and report truthfully to the personnel of Sony.

The reason why Sony asked Li Cai to endorse is not only because Li Cai sings the Internet Divine Comedy "Fox Howling", but most importantly, he has taken a fancy to Li Cai's potential in tennis in the sports world, and believes that Li Cai can become an international superstar in tennis, even if Li Cai fails to succeed, his fame in Go is enough.

Neon Nation is very important for Go, Go players are a respected profession, although the top strength of Go has declined, and there has been no world championship, but the professional chess players are the most among the three countries, and the benefits for chess players are also the best.

Although they are proud of themselves in their bones and look down on others, they advocate the strong, so for Li Cai to be able to suppress the entire Go world by himself, they are naturally respected by them, and they are also the object of worship of the young people of the Neon Country.

even took their well-known anime "Chess Soul", took Li Cai as the original form, and carried out the production of the theatrical version of "Chess Soul", and regarded Li Cai as the reincarnation of Fujiwara Sawei, and then ruled the Go world.

It can be seen from here that Li Cai's influence on the Neon Kingdom Go is directly catching up with the reclusive master Wu Qingyuan.

For Li Cai to refuse the endorsement with such a straightforward and simple reason, the representative of the Neon Country didn't say anything, and felt sorry, thinking that Li Cai had a bad impact on the Neon Country when he was competing in the Neon Country, and offended Li Cai.

It's a pity that the Sony representative guessed wrong, Li Cai is just not used to it, to be honest, if you play in the neon country, it still feels very good, much better than South Korea.

But in the general interests of the country, Li Cai naturally refused and did not accept the endorsement of Neon Country Company.

Basically, people with national self-esteem will not accept the endorsement of Neon Country, even if they have a lot of money, they should not accept it.

After all, the most basic requirement for patriotism as a Chinese is to remember history and not forget the shame of the past.
