As soon as the Spring Festival in 1999 passed, it meant that Gu Bei, who was born on September 23, 1979, took a big step towards the age of 20, and this Spring Festival was also a bad time for Gu Bei, everything was very happy and smooth, but Gu Bei's interest was always not raised.

It can be regarded as Gu Bei healing himself, the first time he likes someone, and the first time he wants to live with another person for the rest of his life......

Fortunately, this love between the two has not really begun, Gu Bei was irritable for a few days, so he no longer thought about these past events, and also devoted himself to work, and people who are busy will always forget many things unconsciously.

"This is your salary for filming "My Father and Mother", the invoice and everything are in it, sign the receipt by the way." While Shi Rong handed Gu Bei an envelope, he also took out a few documents and said, "The bank card you used before has been changed, the user information is your father's, and it is very troublesome for you to transfer money from the company's account, so I will directly withdraw the cash this time, and I will save you from signing the receipt in the future." ”

"I'll go in a minute." Gu Bei replied, and signed his name on the receipt, "By the way, Brother Rong, did "The Spectator" make money?" ”

"Earning is earned, but it's not much, the company really doesn't make much money, you also watch the production process, the cost is there, but you should make a lot of money." Shi Rong explained, and then asked, "What?" In a hurry to use money? The album is still selling, and the balance is settling slowly, but looking at the current situation, there won't be much sales in the future, if you're not afraid of trouble, I'll contact the finance today to settle the money I can get for you. ”

Gu Bei thought about it for a while, then he had an answer and said, "It's over." ”

Shi Rong didn't shirk it, made a few phone calls, and put the share of the album into Gu Bei's hands, up to now, "Spectator" has sold 37,000 copies, 25 yuan a piece, the operator takes half of it, the production cost is about 270,000, and the profit received is nearly 200,000, Gu Bei can get about 30% of the net profit, this is still the proportion that Gu Bei gets for his own lyrics and composition, and Gu Bei is also a celebrity with a galloping pony, otherwise the average newcomer can't get 30%.

After paying taxes, 30,000 2 in Gu Bei's hands, and the after-tax salary of "My Father and Mother" is only 10,000, which is also because Gu Bei is still a newcomer, and behind Gu Beijin's "My Father and Mother" crew, the company has made a lot of efforts, and this remuneration is not so much given by the crew, but by the pony galloping.

However, after the release of "My Father and Mother", no matter whether it is successful or not, Gu Bei's salary will skyrocket, and Zhang Yimou's name is not for nothing. The increase in remuneration is one thing, and there must be more and more drama appointments, and now Gu Bei is still waiting for the filming, and soon after the movie is released, it is estimated that Gu Bei will pick the filming, but these are all later words......

With an income of 42,000 yuan, Gu Bei felt very satisfied, so he asked Shi Rong: "Brother Rong, what are the next arrangements?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask you something."

"What's the matter, you say."

"Did you donate money to the flood-stricken areas last year? Donated 10,000 yuan? ”

"Huh?!" Gu Bei was a little puzzled, secretly thinking that he didn't violate the company's regulations by doing this, and he shouldn't have any adverse effects on himself, "Brother Rong, what's wrong?" Is there a problem? ”

"No, just to confirm, you should tell me about this in advance, and I can do it."

"I'm just enough to eat, the whole family is not hungry, it's useless to keep so much money in my hand, and I don't think about anything else." Gu Bei understood what Shi Rong meant by "operation", and he was a little resistant in his heart, so he chose not to talk about it, "But, Brother Rong, how do you know?" I don't think I talked to anyone. ”

"Don't you look at the entertainment peripherals?"

"I look at it too, but I don't see it much, and I take a look at it on a whim." Gu Bei explained, reflected something again, and asked, "Was it reported?" It shouldn't be, although 10,000 is a lot, it's not outrageous, why are there reporters who pay attention to this matter? ”

"It may be that a staff member happens to be your fan, and he happens to find your name, and he understands it when he checks the information, as for being reported, it is mainly because of your identity as an artist, ordinary people don't donate as much as you, even if it is a big-name artist, it may not be as generous as you."

"They are them, I am me." Gu Bei frowned, there were really not many artists who could donate 10,000 yuan in 1998, and in the first Bazaar charity dinner in 2003, nearly 100 artists and celebrities, large and small, donated a total of more than 60,000 charity funds, not to mention that Gu Bei donated 10,000 yuan in 98.

It's not that the artist's salary is low, the income of commercial performances and announcements is low, and it is not ridiculously high in the future, but it is far more than the income of ordinary citizens, and some of them are so-called wrists, but they just feel that in the late 90s and early 21st century, when the news media was still relatively formalized, these names earned through charity could not bring enough benefits to themselves.

"It's a pity, how good the operation should have been before, but now it's hyped up, but it will make people disgusted......" Shi Rong secretly felt a pity, and wanted to find an opportunity to package Gu Bei well, but he couldn't start, but Gu Bei did this too low-key, and it took more than half a year for the matter to be dug up by someone with a heart.

Seeing this, Gu Bei's mind was active, so he took a preventive shot in advance: "Brother Rong, I think it's better for me to use my strength and work to speak, excessive packaging may raise me too high, and it's not true......"

"Okay, I'll listen to you for the time being, and don't arrange media hype." Shi Rong patted Gu Bei's shoulder, and then said, "By the way, you can be regarded as famous now, I contacted you with two endorsements, one for shampoo, and one for an old drink, I won the following for you for the endorsement fee, which is not bad, you only need to cooperate with a few posters, and if necessary, cooperate with the publicity." ”

"Endorsement?" A trace of contradiction flashed in Gu Bei's heart, now Gu Bei still has a certain resistance to endorsements, and there is always a feeling of bad money, but on the other hand, the company did pick up Gu Bei, putting aside Gu Bei's own "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog", the hit "Carry Love to the End", and Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother" are all resources provided by the company.

Shi Rong was a little hesitant when he saw Gu Bei's face, so he thought of something, and said: "Receiving endorsements is also good for you, the posters in the shopping mall have your photos, and your advertisements on TV can improve your popularity. ”

Gu Bei couldn't make a decision for a while, so he said, "Brother Rong, let me take a look at what products first." ”

"Well, this is the basic situation of the two companies, the contract has not been printed yet, you give me a letter here, and I will arrange for you to sign the contract."

Gu Bei took the two materials handed over by Shi Rong, and introduced two products respectively, green apple shampoo and soda from the second factory, green apple shampoo Gu Bei had seen and used it a few times before, but HC Old Demon did not have this shampoo in his memory at all, and nine times out of ten it would become a victim of the long history.

The second factory soda is very famous, but that was in the eighties and nineties, when it was one of the giants in the carbonated beverage industry, but more and more companies appeared, especially the introduction of foreign Coca-Cola and so on into the mainland market, as well as the rise of Pepsi and Minianda, the market share of the second factory soda has now been squeezed to a very small piece.

Moreover, from the memory of the HC old demon, the second factory soda will close down in recent years.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Bei still decided not to accept it, thinking that if the product was still passable, there would be no problem in working for the company, but Gu Bei was not optimistic about the prospects of these two products, and it was better to pick high-quality products than to be affected by them in the future.

It's just that after the rejection, the company's level may be difficult......

After thinking for a few minutes, Gu Bei chose to follow his own ideas and said: "Brother Rong, I am not very optimistic about these two products, and I will take them when I meet the right one." ”

Shi Rong's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "Are you really willing to give up?" ”

"Hmm."

Shi Rong exhaled deeply and said, "Okay, I pushed it, just be happy." ”

Gu Bei felt slightly guilty in his heart, and he also heard the unhappiness in Shi Rong's tone, but fortunately, Gu Bei left a line and expressed his thoughts, that is, he could accept endorsements, but he would not accept endorsements casually.
