Chapter 114: At the Same Table
"Are you kidding? Didn't you say ...... brother just now?"
Hearing this sudden news, Chi Jingyuan froze for a second, and asked in disbelief as if he hadn't reacted.
He actually knew that Park Jae-hyun never joked about business, but he still felt a little too sudden...... Especially when they talked about this topic just now, it suddenly flipped in less than a few minutes, and inexplicably became infected with a layer of humor.
"Of course it's true, the phone call from Agent Cui on SM's side was made to me just now, and I was notified immediately." Park Jae-hyun's face was ruddy, his eyes were shining, and he could see that he was really excited at this time.
Even though he has handled so many brand and advertising negotiations and agents for Chi Jingyuan, including many top brands, it is still difficult to resist the excitement in his heart at this time.
"The company said that it would push off the interview you were waiting for, and we would go back to the meeting after we were busy here, by the way, the title is the Asia-Pacific region......
Park Jae-hyun quickly introduced to Ji Kyung-won, but before he finished speaking, the field staff over there shouted, and when the break time came, the staff all stood up and prepared to start work again.
Although he was interrupted, he didn't sell it, he leaned into Chi Jingyuan's ear and whispered to add what he hadn't finished just now, and then glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who had a good-looking expression, and signaled that he would talk carefully when he was done, Chi Jingyuan also nodded, shook his head and walked to the PD side with a smile.
Although I was a little urgent when I heard the good news, I was also an old idol, especially for this kind of magazine cover and other pictorial shooting, so Chi Jingyuan did not affect the efficiency of work. On the contrary, it may be because of the good mood, the progress is even a little faster than before, more than two hours later, the shooting is over, and after saying goodbye to the PD and staff, Chi Jingyuan and his party quickly got in the car and returned to the company.
ββ¦β¦ Sure enough, as I thought before, according to the progress of the negotiations between the two sides, after observing for so long, there is about to have a result, if you want to make an official announcement this year, the fashion week at the end of September is the best time, there is enough time to prepare, and then all the activities and publicity can keep up...... If it were to be announced at Fashion Week, it would be about the last few days...... Actually, it's a little late. β
As soon as the car door was closed, accompanied by the sound of the engine running, Park Jae-hyun couldn't help but look back and say a lot, his tone was a little less excited than before, but a little more relieved: "I just told you, the title is the same as we thought before, after inspecting for so long, it is definitely not a title with low gold content such as Friend and Ambassador, and the first cooperation is the official brand spokesperson." β
After such a long time, the top endorsement that other peer idols can't think of has been done, whether it is for Chi Jingyuan himself, or for those who rely on Chi Jingyuan to survive, it is a great affirmation and achievement.
"Spokesperson ...... for the Asia-Pacific region"
Chi Jingyuan repeated softly, savoring the title that had been agreed, and couldn't tell what he thought for a while.
Hearing his tone, Park Jae-hyun glanced back at Ji Kyung-won strangely: "You won't be a little disappointed, right?" β
"How is that possible, the Asia-Pacific region is already very good...... Actually, at first, I thought it was the spokesperson of the peninsula region alone" Ji Jingyuan shook his head after coming back to his senses, and at the same time laughed: "Brother, didn't you just say, what kind of cooperation, fashion?" Or glasses? β
The region is somewhat unexpected, the identity of the spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region is surprising, and the next is the product line, which product line is also very important for the spokesperson cooperation, if it is the brand's pillar product line cooperation, the degree of importance will naturally be different.
"Huh...... It's not just fashion......" Park Jae-hyun laughed twice when he heard this, and the excitement that had disappeared resurfaced on his face, and after selling it a little, he felt Ji Jingyuan's dissatisfied eyes before announcing in an excited tone: "It's not Jun Ji-hyun's single peninsula regional watch product line, it's a full-line spokesperson including fashion, watches, jewelry, glasses, and handbags, and it's an all-round cooperation!"
βqingjiaοΌβ When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at him with surprise and surprise.
The Asia-Pacific region has already exceeded expectations, and the spokesperson across the board is even more surprising, and even makes him feel flattered.
Because it's really exceeded expectations a lot.
Although GUCCI took the initiative to approach, and showed a very serious intention to cooperate with him after several years of enthusiastic and serious investigation, the team on Chi Jingyuan's side and himself have not had high expectations, they thought of being a 'brand spokesperson', but they didn't expect that the region was directly 'Asia-Pacific'.
The Asia-Pacific region can be said to be the top regional spokesperson title in addition to the 'global region'.
Ji Jingyuan thought that even if he talked about it, it should be about the peninsula area, or a little more enlarged or something, and the product line should be a fashion category, or add glasses.
After all, the peninsula is still too small, and although Kpop has developed relatively mature in Asia, its influence in the world is only beginning to emerge.
For this kind of luxury brand at the top of the industry, the profession of idol is still very limited.
Judging from the current situation in 2016, it's easy to say that 'Friend' or 'Ambassador' is good, but in this kind of cooperation with top brands, the title of 'spokesperson' is only accessible to the top artists, and there is only Jun Ji-hyun on the actor's side on the entire peninsula, and the idol side is even more unique, I can't think of it.
Even in the mainland, where the market is huge, is the same, and the only person who has the title of GUCCI's 'spokesperson' in the mainland is Li Bingbing, who has been extremely active in Hollywood in the past two years, and GUCCI still decided to cooperate after deliberation and consideration...... However, it seems that the cooperation between the two will not be renewed after two years, and recently GUCCI seems to have a new object of appreciation in the mainland, and began to have close cooperation and communication with Chunchun.
These top European luxury brands are still in a very cautious stage of trying to cooperate with Asian artists, and the partners on the peninsula are even rarer.
"This collaboration with GUCCI was very cautious, but after such a long period of investigation, they also made a very courageous and bold attempt and decision...... Actually, I was quite surprised when I heard it...... The in-depth cooperation between the Peninsula song industry, and even the entertainment industry and these top luxury brands in Europe is actually very rare, no matter what, Jingyuan, you can be regarded as creating a precedent in the fashion circle of idols this time......"
"Exaggeration, huh?"
"Exaggerated? You'll know when the news gets out......"
In the chat of Park Jae-hyun, Ji Kyung-won and the others soon returned to the company, came to the conference room and had a meeting with the directors and directors who had been prepared here, and the representative who was responsible for the negotiation and docking with GUCCI excitedly and explained in detail the process of communication and the results they achieved, and carefully described the responsibilities and obligations of both sides, as well as publicity, endorsement fees and other related matters.
It can be seen that SM is also very excited about the breakthrough progress, and when this representative speaks, his whole face is red, and a pair of small triangular eyes are propped up by one size.
For brokerage companies in the entertainment industry, fashion resources themselves are also an important indicator of their own strength, the fashion resources of the entire peninsula song industry are very abusive, and some local brands and resources can be grabbed, because of this, most of the artists who participate in the catwalks and parties of major events are basically wearing black and white dresses,
Originally, only YG would be slightly better among the three, but this time, relying on the breakthrough made by Ji Jingyuan, SM can be regarded as a connection with the ancient and arrogant luxury circle, maybe by then, relying on the afterglow of Ji Jingyuan, it can also contact other artists in the company with some good resources.
"Under the strong recommendation of the brand, after our communication, the official announcement time is determined to be placed at the end of September this year, when GUCCI will officially issue an announcement, and at the same time, a large area of offline advertising will be laid in the entire Asia-Pacific region to carry out all-round promotion......
"Before that, we and the artist have to cooperate with the preparation of various affairs......"
The final focus of the meeting was to change Chi Jingyuan's itinerary, because the cooperation was reached more suddenly, GUCCI was more urgent, he temporarily added a lot of new work, the company determined that he will no longer participate in all the songs and activities of "monster" in the next period of time, but will leave the peninsula two days later, that is, at the beginning of July, to go to the GUCCI headquarters in Italy and the Kering headquarters in France to go around, visit the company's interior, and feel the experience from ' The heritage of Europe's top blue-blood brand', and then have a chat with the artistic director and the group CEO to officially sign the contract.
It's a process that every spokesperson has to go through.
Then he began to cooperate with GUCCI to shoot hard advertisements and promotional posters for all the products endorsed by GUCCI in response to the official opening in September.
Chi Jingyuan listened to his own arrangement, nodded and had no opinion.
It's just that in this way, his return trip for the three episodes this time is over......
"Why do you feel so urgent, it's almost July, and you have to shoot an advertisement immediately after going to Italy, and the advertising of the whole line of products must be a lot of work, and the advertising plan has not been done yet, right? Have time to prepare? β
After the meeting, he walked out after chatting with the operating director, and Ji Kyung-won in the corridor was communicating with Park Jae-hyun.
"I heard that GUCCI has actually decided to cooperate before, and many things have been prepared in advance, and the active style and planning of the advertisement have been clearly considered......" Park Jae-hyun specifically learned some secrets: "I even heard from Representative Lee that they have even selected the photographer in charge." β
ββ¦β¦ Although it is said to be a cooperation, the brand side must occupy a complete dominant position. This kind of thing SM has no right to speak, after all, ......" said, he shrugged helplessly: "Maybe SM's voice power is not as high as yours, you can put forward some opinions on advertising, because GUCCI is just optimistic about you." β
"As long as it's not a nude blockbuster or something, I don't think I have any suggestions." Ji Jingyuan squinted his eyes and made a joke.
In fact, he agrees with Park Jae-hyun's statement.
When he walked into the elevator, he was talking about it, and suddenly remembered one more thing:
"By the way, wasn't the MV for the two songs on the album scheduled to be filmed at the beginning of July? What if I went to Italy to work? β
In the busy overtime and practice some time ago, the dance of the two title songs of the reprint album "LOTTO" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears" has been perfected, and the recording work has also ended, and the specific return is determined to be in early August, and the shooting time of the MV has been set to be on July 2nd, according to the time, the set should have been built.
Park Jae-hyun seemed to be prepared, and easily pressed the elevator door button twice:
"I've just communicated with the head of the record department, and the others will shoot their own solo shots first, extend the rental period of the venue and keep the set, and then shoot the group and your individual shots together when you come back."
"That'll do."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There is a lot of work related to the spokesperson's affairs, including a series of preparations for the promotion in the future, which requires a lot of exchanges and communication between the two companies, but these things are done by the company's specialized people.
IT'S JUST THAT ONCE HIS IDENTITY IS REVEALED, WHEN HE TRAVELS TO SOME ACTIVITIES IN THE FUTURE, AND EVEN GOES TO SOME PLACES WHERE HE IS AT RISK OF BEING PHOTOGRAPHED BY FANS IN PRIVATE, HE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE WEARS AND DRESSES UP, AT LEAST IN PUBLIC, HIS ACCESSORIES AND EVEN CLOTHES MUST USE THE GUCCI BRAND.
This is also one of the responsibilities of the brand spokesperson, GUCCI has given so much endorsement fee, and is ready to promote it comprehensively in the Asia-Pacific region, just to let him bring the goods.
It's just that the clothes of his favorite Doraemon and PokΓ©mon are not too easy to wear, after all, in many people's subconscious, this kind of anime outfit and fashion do not match very well.
But thinking about it actually made him a little uncomfortable...... If only GUCCI and these well-known anime could come up with a co-branded fashion and accessories in his name.
I think there will be a lot of people who like it......
After the company confirmed the specific content of the contract, at about seven o'clock in the evening, he received a call from Park Jinying, and came to the agreed place to eat with his bag on his back.
I've made an appointment to have a meal together.
Because it was a private dinner, he didn't let Park Jae-hyun follow, and drove over by himself. I parked my car in the underground parking lot, and I went upstairs to the agreed place in disguise.
This place is Park Jinying is looking for, it is a relatively high-end Italian cuisine, I heard this brother say that the taste and service here, and even the decoration are very good, very stylish, he will invite some of his artists to eat here from time to time, and Twice seems to have eaten together here before his debut.
The rest is not felt, but the decoration is really good, bright lighting, clear lines and simple shapes make the whole space look more neat and orderly, and the abstract paintings full of art style hanging on the walls make people feel a sense of beauty and luxury.
In the past, Chi Jingyuan didn't appreciate this style of painting, but at this time, he may feel that the lines and colors of these paintings are actually quite beautiful because he is in a good mood.
Led by JYP's assistant, he walked into the box humming a song.
The box is very large, one large, two small and three ceiling chandeliers illuminate the whole room clearly, adhering to the consistent decoration style outside, not so much a box for eating, but more like a business conference room in a luxury hotel.
Before he could say anything, the two people who were originally sitting on the sofa all stood up and looked at him with different expressions, but did not speak, but then looked at Park Jinying next to him.
"Jingyuan, it's here." Park Jin-young, who seemed to be talking to twice, also began to greet with a smile on his face, and at the same time took the initiative to greet him.
"Brother." Chi Jingyuan also waved his hand to greet him, took off his mask, glanced at the people in the room, and complained with a polite smile: "Why are you so solemn?" β
The place to eat was very luxurious, but secondly, the Twice and a few people were originally sitting on the sofa, and when they saw him, they all stood up, and they all stood up straight, just like the recruits saw the instructor, and Chi Jingyuan felt that they were almost saluting and shouting loyalty.
"Haha......" Park Jin-young laughed and snorted, and at the same time, the eight girls of Twice also immediately bowed softly.
"Senior Anihassaiyo ......"
A few people who were used to being called Oba stopped calling them anymore, and returned to the names of their predecessors...... Although several people were smiling and groaning, when Chi Jingyuan looked over, Mingjing Nan exchanged a look with him without missing a trace, Zhou Ziyu held up a big eye, Minato Sasha and Kim Daxian were grinning and smiling a little silly, and Lin Nalian actually smiled a little, and her eyes looked at Ji Jingyuan's face very smartly.
Obviously, they just had a meal together in private, but Ji Jingyuan came over directly with a hat and no makeup, and the private clothes were still very ordinary short-sleeved jeans, but JYP was too formal here...... Needless to say, it must be because of Park Jin-young.
But fortunately, everyone is still wearing private clothes, and they are quite good-looking......
The box solemnly placed a long table in a strip, the dark blue tablecloth was spread on it, and the tableware had been placed in front of each stool at this time, Park Zhenying gestured to the assistant next to him to serve the food, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Ji Jingyuan to sit down directly.
"How does this restaurant feel?"
"Hmm...... It's still too solemn, how does it feel like a business party, when I came in just now, you stood up and said hello, did you just rehearse? Ji Jingyuan hung his bag on the back of the chair and sat in the middle of the long table, opposite Park Jinying, and at the same time looked at the girls next to him who were also pulling out the stools and preparing to sit in.
Sasha Minato, who was scanned by his gaze, covered his mouth and laughed embarrassedly, pulled out a stool and sat in.
The entire square table Ji Kyung-won and Park Jin-young sat in the middle, while the other eight Twice members sat on their left and right.
"Haha, it's a good habit for newcomers to pay attention to politeness...... However, in the case of restaurants, I think you will like this style with your lifestyle. Park Jin-young laughed twice, and then looked left and right at the decoration of the box.
He felt that with Chi Jingyuan's family conditions, he should prefer this kind of high-end place.
"Most of this kind of occasion and style is more ceremonial than food...... And brother, where do you know my living habits? Ji Jingyuan chuckled noncommittally, and asked rhetorically Just when he was about to criticize Park Jin-young's imagination a little, the stool on his left was pulled away, and with a faint fragrance, Mingjing Nam gently sat down next to him, and reached out to stroke the tail tip of the short hair that was floating next to his ear.
The tranquil smell like cherry blossoms came to the sense of smell, and a small section of the shoulder exposed on the right side of the large loose short sleeves of the slanted shoulder style was a little dazzling.
This table is satisfying......
Before Ji Jingyuan's eyes could look over and make some eye contact with Mingjing Nan or something, the stool on his right was also pulled away, and Lin Nalian, who had long black straight hair draped over her shoulders, didn't know when she walked here, she moved the stool back, and sat in with her long legs under her shorts.
It seemed that she had just moved too hard, a little far away, she moved forward with the seat of the chair, making a muffled sound, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed to shake the air bangs in front of her forehead, and also brushed the hair around her ears, just raised her head with her chest straight, but she didn't mean to look this way at all while sitting upright, as if there was no one next to her.
This table is ......
