Chapter 81: The Contract Trap

The next day, Li Lin and Luo Feng drove to the filming location of the advertisement.

The advertisement was shot not in the downtown area of Hangzhou* but in the suburbs, and although it is summer, the trees on both sides of the street are not wilting, but look energetic.

"Right here." Luo Feng pointed to a villa next to the street and said: "This villa is said to have been bought by Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha, and is now lent to the crew for filming. ”

The person who shoots the commercial is also called the crew, although this crew is very small and destined to be short.

After Li Lin and Luo Feng arrived, they got out of the car and approached the villa, and just approached the villa when they met the staff who came out of the villa, and the staff looked at them and were stunned, and then recognized Li Lin, "You are Mr. Li Lin, I am Tao Caihui, the assistant director here." ”

"I'm Li Lin." Li Lin stretched out his hand and shook it with him, "I'm glad I will." ”

"Fortunately." Tao Caihui saw Li Lin so enthusiastic, and a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

He is called an assistant director if he sounds good, but in fact he is a miscellaneous man.

"Brother Li, you're here to shoot an advertisement!" Tao Caihui led Li Lin back, "The crew is here, but the other stars haven't come yet, you may need to wait a little." ”

"Speaking of which, Brother Li is the first to come."

Celebrities are different from the rest of the crew, celebrities often don't come over until the appointed time to shoot advertisements, and some slightly biger stars won't come over at the appointed time, they tend to delay some time, and these have long been conventional, and it is the first time he has seen a star like Li Lin who came over so early.

"It's okay." Li Lin smiled, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do recently, so it's better to wait here." ”

"By the way, Luo Feng, where is the person who signed the contract with you?"

"It's inside!" Luo Feng was not sure, she picked up her mobile phone again, dialed a number, and then said a few words to the man, and saw the door of the villa open, and a middle-aged man dressed in leather shoes and combing his iron back walked out with his mobile phone.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Li Lin, he hung up the phone, and then sped up and came to Li Lin in three or two steps, and took out a thick stack of words, "Mr. Li Lin, this is the contract we have drawn up." ”

"You take a look first, and if it's okay, sign it!"

"Please wait." Li Lin took out the contract and looked at it carefully, this contract seems to be a standard contract for artist advertising contracts, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no slight changes in it.

You must know that a slight change or two in a thick and long contract is enough to make the star suffer a big loss.

"What's going on here?" One page of Li Lin's contract said, "I'm here to shoot an advertisement for you, not an endorsement." ”

"You just took my portrait rights?"

Li Lin's face is a little bad, the portrait right of celebrities has always been a piece of fat, and many businesses want to eat it, but celebrities are very cautious about the authorization of portrait rights, and they will not authorize it to others.

That is, when it comes to endorsement promotion, TV series promotion or movie promotion, others are allowed to temporarily use their portrait rights.

The middle-aged man in front of him wanted to take away his portrait rights with an advertisement, which was clearly bullying him for being a newcomer and deliberately creating this contract trap.

A trace of strangeness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes when he heard Li Lin expose his contract trap, but he still said unhurriedly: "We will definitely carry out corresponding publicity after we shoot the advertisement, and we can't carry out publicity without the authorization of portrait rights." ”

"Propaganda? Do you think this is a TV series or a movie? A hint of sarcasm flashed at the corner of Li Lin's mouth, "An advertisement wants to take away the portrait right?" You think I'm a newcomer who doesn't understand anything? ”

"Luo Feng, let's go, there is no need to shoot this advertisement anymore."

If he signed a contract, he would naturally not be able to leave, but he has not signed a contract with them yet, so he naturally wants to leave.

"Wait." At this time, the middle-aged man's face finally changed, he hurriedly stopped Li Lin and apologized to Li Lin, "I'm sorry, I took the wrong contract just now." ”

With that, he walked back to the villa, and by the time he came out again, he had a brand new contract in his hand.

"That's the real contract."

"I hope you don't make a mistake this time."

Li Lin sneered at the middle-aged man in front of him and lowered his head to look at the contract, seemingly completely unaware of the displeased gaze in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him.

In fact, even if he noticed, he wouldn't pay attention to it, he and Very Coke are destined to only have such an advertising fate, he believes that when the next year is not very Coke coming to him to shoot commercials, but Coca-Cola or Pepsi.

After all, there is still a big gap between Very Coke and Pepsi and Coca-Cola in the carbonated beverage market.

"Okay, no problem." Li Lin raised his head, took out a black ink pen from the bag on Luo Feng's chest, and then signed his name on the contract.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and shook Li Lin's hand and walked to the parking lot of the villa again, but after a while, a car left the villa.

"Brother Li, you are so good." Assistant director Tao Caihui, who had been watching from the sidelines just now, gave Li Lin a thumbs up, "You don't know how arrogant this gold owner is in the crew." ”

"I didn't expect you to get him as soon as you came, and it's the kind that you can do in minutes."

Although Tao Caihui is only an assistant director, he is also very unhappy with such a layman's fingers, but he is the person who is the owner of the money, and he has to endure no matter how angry and angry he is.

"He's just taking care of himself." Li Lin grabbed his hair, "I really don't know what to do if I want to take away my portrait rights with an advertisement." “

"There's a trap in that contract!" Luo Feng also spoke at this time, "Li Lin, I'll expose them, I want to see who else will shoot advertisements for them in the future!" ”

During this time, she also figured out a lot of rules in the entertainment industry.

Don't look at the intrigue and tricks of people in the entertainment industry, but people in the entertainment industry tend to unite when facing the threat of outsiders.

For example, in the 8090s, the underworld invaded the entertainment industry on a large scale, threatening singers to sing and actors to act with pistols and iron rods, which provoked a backlash in the entertainment industry, and a large number of celebrities marched on the streets, finally forcing the government to purge the black forces and cut off the tentacles of the black forces reaching out to the entertainment industry.

Since then, the entertainment industry has also added a bottom line, that is, it is not allowed to collude with the underworld.

"No need." Li Lin shook his head, "It will not be good for us to be exposed, but it will cause a backlash from the business community." ”

The entertainment industry has the bottom line of the entertainment industry, but the business community also has the bottom line of the business community, Li Lin doesn't want to drink the other party and make both sides lose, although it is said that the business community can't interfere in the affairs of the entertainment industry, but the business community, as the financier of the entertainment industry, still can't offend if you can't offend it.
