Chapter 227. 【Superstar】
In the afternoon of the same day, Yi Feiyang met the "pop diva" Madonna at the date location. You must know that as a big-name star in Hollywood, Madonna does not have a lot of personal time, especially like Yi Feiyang, to invite her to be the company's training teacher, Madonna must understand the actual situation in the training to see if she can do it, so as to fork her schedule.
Of course, there is another very important reason, time is money in the United States, and the precious time of celebrities is even more valuable gold. The average Hollywood star catwalk, tailoring, and even showing his face for a certain commercial activity needs to charge a high hardship fee, not to mention being a teacher, and it is necessary to explain the "price code".
Sometimes Yi Feiyang is very uncomfortable with the way Americans clearly "talk about money".
Because the Chinese have a good face since ancient times, they seal money to make "A blockage", and even when it comes to money, they say that you are covered in copper and smelly, which is unspeakable. But the United States is different, whether it is friends or relatives, when it comes to money, it is very clear.
For example, right now, Yi Feiyang and Madonna are bargaining for "mentor fees". Of course, as a big star, Madonna will not directly negotiate the price with Yi Feiyang, this is not her job, nor is it what she is good at, it is Madonna's agent who negotiates the price with Yi Feiyang, a bald old man.
The old man's skill in negotiating the price code is very high, and in Yi Feiyang's opinion, he has already reached the realm of stepping on the snow without a trace and hurting people, so that Yi Feiyang entangled with him for a long time before he negotiated the price code. Immediately afterwards, the two sides reached an agreement, Madonna, as the star consultant of Dream Pictures, will spare 3 hours a week to give acting skills, singing, and stage walking according to the specific situation of female artists. As well as experience, packaging, image design, etc., and other aspects of guidance. To this end, Dream Company gives a guidance fee of 1.5 million US dollars, indicated, friendly price, but it must be settled clearly every week, no arrears, and no white slips.
Other words. Yi Feiyang spent 1.5 million yuan to buy Madonna's three hours of instruction time a week to teach girls, with an average of half a million dollars per hour, such a price is simply incredible to outsiders, and it is definitely a lion's mouth. But in Yi Feiyang's view, it can be said that it is worth the money. After all, in many commercial activities, it will cost more than 100,000 US dollars for Madonna to come forward and cut the ribbon.
Now that the price has been negotiated. Even if the bald old man retired, it was Madonna's turn and Yi Feiyang to start chatting about other things, such as the cultivation of Annie and them, and the cultivation of Hollywood star culture.
I have to say that this Madonna definitely takes on the title of "star mentor", and she talks about it. Yi Feiyang knows her more deeply, and many times Madonna will explain some of her training concepts from her own experience and perspectives, which has benefited Yi Feiyang a lot. After all, he is also half a star, and it is rare to be able to hear such an experience. The most important thing is that Yi Feiyang feels that his money has not been spent in vain.
After talking in detail for about half an hour, the two made an appointment on when the class would officially start, and then Madonna put on her sunglasses and left in a hurry, it is said that she still has an advertisement that needs to be filmed at the beach.
Yi Feiyang lay on the lounge chair a little tiredly, drank a sip of light bitter coffee, and suddenly felt very tired.
I closed my eyes and pondered, but I wondered if Anne and the others could understand their good intentions......
……
I have to say that Madonna is definitely a very dedicated teacher, and after signing a contract with Dream Pictures, Madonna took time out to come to Dream Company the next day.
Training room.
"Annie, Jessica, Pals, and Ivanka, the American pop diva Miss Madonna, will be teaching you one of the most important lessons of your entire acting career in the coming week." Yi Feiyang didn't beat around the bush, and directly introduced Madonna to Anne and them.
Anne Hathaway: They might as well be able to easily fly and the mentor invited by Yi Feiyang turned out to be Madonna. In fact, even if Yi Feiyang doesn't introduce much, they are very clear about Madonna. The pop diva of the 90s in the United States, although the rising star is like a tide, making her famous now a little sinking, not as beautiful as before, but the shadow of the famous tree, Madonna still sits firmly on the throne of the first sister in the entire North American pop music scene.
In terms of value, unlike Michael Jackson's arrogance and unhappiness in investment, Madonna is a real super rich woman in the entertainment industry, speculating in real estate, making brands, and starting a company.
Therefore, not to mention that Anne and Jessica admire her so much, even Pars and Ivanka, the two rich daughters, are also convinced of Madonna.
In fact, Madonna once made a cameo appearance in "Dance Floor Battle" starring Anne, but unfortunately, during the filming, Madonna almost always rushed to participate in the cameo, so she and Anne did not socialize, but no matter how everyone said it, they could be regarded as "working together", and after Yi Feiyang's introduction, they immediately became acquainted.
"Hi Madonna-sensei, I'm Jessica Alba, and you're sexier than in the movies!" Jessica is a good person and a good talker.
"Hello, I'm Anne Hathaway." Anne was innocent by nature, and at the first sight of Madonna, she fell in love with this famous teacher.
"I'm Pars Hilton, and it's a pleasure to meet you!" Pars has seen a lot of celebrities, and he speaks very casually.
"I'm Ivanka Trump. Please advise me in the future! ”
……
"Alright, beauties, it's a pleasure to meet you." Madonna clapped her hands and said, "In the coming time, I hope we can cooperate well and bring your aesthetics to a new level." My purpose is very simple, that is, under the supervision of Mr. Yi Feiyang, I will train you to become real big stars, yes, this is my duty and task to start ...... now! ”
Crisp and clean!
Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people!
After the politeness, Madonna began the official class.
"First of all, I want to ask you a few questions. First, what do you think is the significance of the existence of superstars in the world? ”
Jessica almost didn't think about it, so she replied, "Make a lot of money." ”
This answer made Yi Feiyang feel embarrassed, and he was almost embarrassed to look at Madonna again.
And Annie, Pars, and Ivanka felt that Jessica's answer was very realistic. Yes, what is it to be a superstar not to make money? Is it just for the sake of being famous?!
"Nope." Madonna shook her right index finger, "The significance of the superstar's existence is not only for economic reasons, but also because in this era, fewer and fewer people have faith, they are very lonely, have no sense of trust in others, and live a very hard, boring, and boring life." They need a perfect person to provide them with the ultimate emotional attachment. And this man is a real superstar! Superstar not only exists in literary and artistic works, but also carries a strong social function in real life. His words and deeds can affect his fans, fans and even the whole society. Therefore, as a superstar, the first thing is the spirit of fraternity and a solid sense of social responsibility. Do you have that? ”
"I didn't!" Jessica replied truthfully.
Annie and the three of them shook their heads, indicating that they were the same as Jessica.
"It's not going to work, you have to have it."
"So how can we have it?"
"It's simple, imagine all your fans, the fans are cancer patients, they could die at any moment, and their only desire is to see you perform." Madonna said.
Even Yi Feiyang has to admit that this assumption is really heavy. And when Jessica heard this analogy, her face immediately became solemn, "I feel a little bit." ”
"So do you know what a superstar is?"
"Something that can make a lot of money." Jessica replied quickly, and Yi Feiyang almost fainted again.
"Nope." Madonna shook her finger again, "Superstardom is a dream, and this dream does not belong to herself, but to the whole society. People like to be paralyzed and deceived, so you have to know how to cater to their tastes from time to time, otherwise they will forget about your dream and look for new dreams that make them feel happy. But at the same time, the masses are ignorant and don't know what they really need. So your dream caters to them, but you can't go exactly the way they want to go, because then they will lose patience with you because they don't have a sense of novelty with you. ”
Madonna began to impart her own views and opinions on what a superstar is, and I have to say that this concept is really new to Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba.
So much so that everyone listened to it with relish.
After a while, Madonna asked again: "Annie, Jessica and Pars, the three of you have acted and are very well-known, so do you think you are popular enough now?" ”
Anne said, "Not bad. ”
Jessica shrugged, "It would be better if it could be reddened again." ”
Pars replied, "God, it's very red, those reporters are always chasing me!" ”
……
Madonna smiled, "So do you think you're a superstar?" ”
Anne shook her head, "No, I'm not. ”
Jessica: "There should be some way off. ”
Pars: "In the future, I will definitely be a superstar!" ”
After listening to their answers, Madonna said, "Then now I can tell you that if there is any one of you who will be a superstar in the future, I would rather choose her!" With that, Madonna pointed her finger at Ivanka Trump, who had not spoken.
"Is that her? God, are you mistaken, she just entered the industry, and she hasn't even acted in a drama at all! Of course, it was Pars Hilton who said this, she didn't understand why Madonna was so optimistic about this Ivanka, damn it, could it be said that she was prettier than herself, more temperamental than herself?!
Not to mention Annie and them, even Yi Feiyang, who was listening with his arms on his shoulders, was very curious, why would Madonna say that. (To be continued......)
