Chapter 59: Meet the Parents
Soon after Zhang Ziyi finished filming, Lin Zhimo also finished filming his scene and returned to Yanjing.
"Zhimo, take a look, this is a fax from two clothing companies, take a closer look."
The next day, Huo Xiwen handed over the two advertising endorsement contracts to Lin Zhimo.
Lin Zhimo looked at it and found that the first piece of paper was a contract for Seven Wolves, a famous Chinese menswear company, while the other paper was a Sanxing sportswear that he had never even heard of by name.
Lin Zhimo was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Sister Wen, what kind of company is this Sanxing?" ”
Huo Xiwen did not answer, but said: "Look at their conditions. ”
"Conditions?" Lin Zhimo couldn't help but exclaim after reading the contents of the paper carefully: "Eight million!? They actually gave eight million dollars? ”
It turned out that this southern sportswear company had been mainly OEM processing, mainly processing and OEM business for major clothing manufacturers around the world, until the old manager of their company died recently, and the general manager position was taken over by his son, who has been working in the United States. And the first thing his son did after taking over was to create his own sports brand, no longer satisfied with OEM.
If you want to start your own brand, then inviting a popular star to be the spokesperson is undoubtedly the fastest way, and the new general manager naturally understands this very well, and he also knows that his company and those big companies and big brands have no comparable surname, and the only sincerity he can show is the high endorsement fee.
"Sister Wen, do you know what Sanxing company is?" Lin Zhimo scratched his head and looked at the endorsement fees of seven wolves, four million in two years, and then looked at Sanxing, eight million in one year, a difference of four times.
However, although the endorsement fee given by Seven Wolves is small, it is in line with Lin Zhimo's current worth, so Lin Zhimo will not go to the brain-dead plan to raise the price.
It's not that Lin Zhimo is greedy for money, but the conditions given by the other party are too tempting, and the other party said very clearly in the fax that their company has ten years of OEM processing and production experience, and it can be said that it has the strength to create its own brand, and what is lacking is just an opportunity, and you are welcome to visit the other party's company at any time.
Huo Xiwen also smiled slightly bitterly after hearing Lin Zhimo's question, and said, "Didn't I just get the fax and call you over, but I have more friends in the south, so I can ask them to check it." ”
Huo Xiwen's friend moved quickly, and the next day he learned the details of the Sanxing company.
Indeed, as the other party said in the fax, this Sanxing company has ten years of OEM processing experience, and the reputation over there is very good, if it is not for the recent death of the old manager and the son to take over, they will continue to OEM production.
For the newly appointed general manager, Huo Xiwen's friend also gave the other party's detailed information.
Ding Zhongwei, born in 1960, studied in the United States in his early years, and later worked as a vice president of sales at Nike in the United States, until the end of last year, he did not return to China until the end of last year, and there was no bad information record.
Huo Xiwen smiled at Lin Zhimo and said, "Next, we should take a field trip to Sanxing Company." ”
Lin Zhimo naturally agreed, and at the same time, he also wanted to visit Lin Xinru, who was filming in Xiangjiang.
So after discussing with Huo Xiwen, the two flew directly to Xiangjiang, and then on the way back to inspect Sanxing Company, if there was no problem, they signed a contract directly.
……
"Hey, Xinru, what are you doing?" Lin Zhimo came to the outside of the set where they were filming and asked deliberately.
"What else can you do, filming." Lin Xinru's voice reached Lin Zhimo's ears in a noisy shout.
"What are you doing over there, such a mess?" Lin Zhimo asked strangely.
"I didn't do anything, didn't I just finish work, everyone packed up and went home." Lin Xinru replied.
"Oh...... What about you, do you want to continue filming? Lin Zhimo asked.
"No, I'll go back too. What are you doing, why are you so noisy over there? Lin Xinru found that Lin Zhimo's side was also noisy.
Lin Zhimo looked at the many staff members who swarmed out of the set, rolled his eyes and said, "I'm also filming, isn't this also a day." ”
"Oh." Lin Xinru didn't suspect it, Lin Zhimo had already told him a few days ago that he was filming a movie by Zhang Yimou.
Lin Zhimo hung up the phone and saw Lin Xinru walking out of the set with her life assistant, Lin Zhimo hurriedly hid in a corner, and when Lin Xinru turned around and turned her back to herself, Lin Zhimo followed behind Lin Xinru.
Lin Xinru didn't notice being followed by Lin Zhimo because she was too tired from filming, but Lin Xinru's assistant was very keen and noticed it at once, but after seeing that it was Lin Zhimo, she laughed again.
Lin Zhimo didn't expect this little assistant to feel so keen, so he also smiled at the other party, and then took two steps to cover Lin Xinru's eyes at once, and asked in Cantonese in a rough voice: "Guess who I am?" ”
Lin Xinru was startled at first, and then noticed that the assistant next to her didn't make any sound, it should be her friend in Xiangjiang who was joking with her, but no one seemed to have a voice like this.
Lin Xinru said honestly: "I can't guess. ”
Lin Zhimo changed her female voice again, and then asked in Baodao dialect, "What about now?" ”
Lin Xinru's mind suddenly flashed, and she grabbed Lin Zhimo's wrist with both hands and shouted, "Zhimo, how can you come to Xiangjiang?" ”
Lin Zhimo let go of his hands and was about to speak, when he felt a flash of light on the right, and at the same time, a clicking sound came into his ears.
There are reporters who candid the film!
After all, Lin Zhimo has never been to Xiangjiang, but he doesn't know the degree of "dedication" of the reporters in Xiangjiang. But after all, Lin Xinru has been here for two months, and the originally surprised expression on her face immediately became calm when she heard the voice, and she knew that the next reporter should appear in front of her for an interview.
Sure enough, a reporter wearing a melon skin hat with a camera in his hand appeared in front of Lin Xinru, held up a voice recorder and asked, "May I ask Miss Lin Xinru, are you dating Mr. Lin Zhimo now?" ”
Lin Zhimo was really amazed by the speed of the tabloid reporters, but he didn't expect the other party to recognize himself so easily.
Huanzhu Gege has not been broadcast in the Xiangjiang area at this time, and he is not famous in Xiangjiang, otherwise he would not make such a joke on Lin Xinru in a public place.
When Lin Xinru heard this, she patted Lin Zhimo's shoulder very generously, and said with a smile: "No, where are we patting and dragging, I have a very good relationship with Lin Zhimo, we are buddies." ”
The tabloid reporters were not disappointed, their questions were just a formality, and it didn't matter how Lin Xinru answered, the important thing was that she had intimate photos of the two of them in her hands. So the reporter shifted his target and asked Lin Zhimo in broken Mandarin: "May I ask Mr. Lin Zhimo, what do you think of Miss Lin Xinru, does it meet your standards for a girlfriend?" ”
Lin Zhimo would be an idiot if he didn't know how to say it at this time, but Lin Zhimo didn't have a good impression of this reporter in his heart, so he didn't choose to use Cantonese, but replied in Mandarin: "You misunderstood, we are just good friends, it just so happened that I came to Xiangjiang for some business, so I came to visit the class." ”
As for the question about girlfriend standards, I skipped it.
After the reporter left, Lin Xinru's assistant patted his chest and said soberly: "Fortunately, there is such a paparazzi today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out." ”
Lin Zhimo asked in surprise: "Are the reporters in Xiangjiang so powerful?" ”
Lin Xinru said with a bitter face: "You don't know how annoying they are, they follow you all the time, and when they report, they take things out of context and never report the truth, do you believe that the report of this newspaper tomorrow is definitely not what we said just now?" ”
Lin Zhimo was still a little skeptical of Lin Xinru's words, but the next day when he saw the dignified black headline on the newspaper, he was completely dumbfounded, only to see that it read: "Er Kang and Ziwei are suspected of being fake, and they are holding hands happily in public"!
If that's just the case, the other party actually gave a picture, the picture is naturally the moment when Lin Zhimo covered Lin Xinru's eyes yesterday, and it also focused on enlarging the smile on Lin Xinru's face, and accompanied it with a very subjective commentary.
Surprised to surprised, Lin Zhimo was not angry about this, after all, he and Lin Xinru were really in love, no matter how much the reporter wrote Lin Zhimo would not be angry.
Huo Xiwen didn't react when he knew about this, but said lightly: "Go to a banquet with me tonight, and I'll take you to meet a few friends." ”
The lifestyle in Xiangjiang is more Western, so people often hold a private banquet in their own home or other hotels, on the one hand, to let everyone relax, and on the other hand, to see if they can meet partners who can cooperate at the banquet.
Lin Zhimo asked, "Do I need to do anything to prepare?" ”
Huo Xiwen glanced Lin Zhimo up and down and said, "Prepare a slightly more formal suit, although it is a private banquet, it is always good to dress decently." ”
Lin Zhimo nodded, and suddenly asked, "Sister Wen, do your parents live in Xiangjiang?" ”
Huo Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then his heart began to beat violently, but he still pretended to be casual and asked, "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”
Lin Zhimo said: "Of course there is something, how can I not visit the second elder when I finally came to Xiangjiang once?" ”
Although she had expected it, Huo Xiwen was still a little shy when she really heard Lin Zhimo say this, but she understood that Lin Zhimo was making this request from the perspective of a friend at this time, and she couldn't refuse it because of reason, so she had to nod and agree.
