Chapter 39: The Script
Although he didn't take on the show again, he watched the endorsement invitation sorted out by his agent.
This time, the brand is relatively reliable, and there are several well-known brands, which is also a benefit of fame.
The more famous you are, in addition to the invitation of the filmmaker, you will also be favored by the brand.
Of course, Gu Wei's current reputation is still very average, mainly because of the grade, and the national degree is too low.
Who asked him to make a movie, if there is a popular TV series, then the national will soar into the sky. Endorsement fees will also skyrocket.
The small brands that are looking for him are basically about 2 million a year, and they are all issued with 1-year contracts, it is estimated that there are too few works of him, and I am afraid that he will just be short-lived, so he only sent a short contract.
The endorsement fee for big brands is less, about 3 million in 2 years.
Of course, he is not the only spokesperson for big brands looking for him, but only one of the endorsements for the following sub-products.
Mainly because of his recent movie popularity, he wants to use his popularity to bring a wave of popularity, and this endorsement fee is not in the eyes of large companies.
After discussing with the broker, there is communication with the brand.
Gu Wei took over 5 endorsements, including Colgate, Semir, Joyoung Soymilk Machine, Liushen, and Rejoice.
The endorsement fee for each family ranges from 1.5 million ~ 2 million, and the endorsement contract is signed for one year.
Gu Wei signed a contract with the brand in the form of a company, and a total of 9 million endorsement fees will be credited to the company's account according to the requirements of the contract.
This has the advantage that this endorsement fee will be paid as part of the company's income when the company files corporate taxes, which is more convenient.
In addition, when you buy a car, buy a house or even donate money in the name of the company in the future, you can offset part of the tax.
In December, Gu Wei resumed his normal life at school.
I only occasionally have to go out to shoot advertisements for endorsement products, these are relatively simple, basically some flat photos, at most a small video with a plot. It doesn't take him much time.
The endorsement fee of 9 million is in the account, and the company's account is relatively generous, and there is still 3 million left in the account of the previous loan of 8 million.
Yang Liwen used the money to buy the copyright according to Gu Wei's request.
"Gu Wei, why haven't you been watching you go out lately?" At the end of a class, Gu Wei was still sorting out the books on the table, and Nazha leaned over and asked.
"There's nothing going on lately, the [Embroidered Spring Knife] movie has been dealt with, and I haven't taken on new plays, so naturally I have time." Gu Wei replied.
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking why you didn't go out to find your girlfriend, it turns out that except for the time when you are in class, you are basically not seen on campus. You think I don't know what you're going to do. ”
Nazha pouted, she is also experienced in this one, the two of them ran away after class, and they didn't meet their classmates at all, it was a two-person world.
Now Gu Wei is not right, he is not in a hurry to leave after class, he has time to play basketball, and chats with his classmates.
"Is your girlfriend out filming?" Nazha asked.
"Okay, I know what you want to ask, we broke up" Gu Wei spread his hands and said indifferently.
Although Nazha expected it, this surprise came a little suddenly.
She controlled her emotions and pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the situation, you split your legs?" Haven't heard of it? Or is there something wrong with her? ”
"Don't guess, it's nothing, what kind of person I am, don't you know, if I can split my legs, I'll split you, she's fine, it's just that the two of us are not suitable, and they broke up peacefully."
After thinking about it, he said, "She is very good, we don't have any contradictions, and we can be friends if we can't be a couple." ”
"Oh, I see." I don't know what Nazha understands.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, they're still waiting for me to play basketball." Gu Wei had already packed his books and walked out with his bag on his back.
Behind him, the corners of Naza's mouth curled higher and higher, and she couldn't control her smile anymore.
After class that day, Gu Wei made an appointment with the driver, Master Zhang, to pick him up, and the car drove downstairs to the company after a while.
Came to the company, and the agent came to the office to meet him.
"Did I find the person you were looking for?"
Gu Wei asked.
"I've already found it, Mr. Gu, they have all arrived before you came, and they are waiting in the conference room now."
Yang Liwen replied.
"Okay, come with me to meet them."
There were two people sitting in the conference room, a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old, slightly chubby, not tall, with sparse hair, somewhat dark skin, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his face. Wearing a green vest, he picked up the thermos cup in front of him from time to time and took a sip.
The other is a lady, who doesn't look very old, although she looks ordinary, but she is dressed very exquisitely, and she is sitting side by side with a middle-aged man across a chair, focusing on typing on her mobile phone.
Gu Wei took Yang Liwen to push the door into the conference room.
The two men in the room stood up at this. Yang Liwen took a quick step and said, "This is the general manager of our company. ”
"Mr. Gu, this is Yang Tao, Teacher Yang." Yang Liwen introduced to the middle-aged man.
"Mr. Gu, hello" Teacher Yang stood beside him, bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.
"Teacher Yang, welcome." Gu Wei also stretched out his hand to shake him.
"This is Cai Xiaojing, Teacher Cai."
"Hello, Mr. Cai." Cai Xiaojing stood far away, and Gu Wei did not shake hands but greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, you are Gu Wei, play 'Shen Lian'!" Cai Xiaojing recognized Gu Wei immediately.
"Yes, it's me," Gu Wei replied with a smile.
"Great, I like the movie [Embroidered Spring Knife] very much, I think your 'Shen Lian' is too handsome, can you sign me in a while?" Cai Xiaojing looked cheerful and made her request.
"Of course you can, let's finish talking about the work and give Mr. Cai your autograph."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said
"You two may be seated."
After everyone sat down, Gu Wei continued
"What are you two going to do, Mr. Yang has already told you before."
The two listened and nodded.
"In that case, I won't say much nonsense. I have a story in my head, and I have made an outline of the story, and the specific plot is also roughly delineated.
But after all, I am not a professional screenwriter, I can't make the script perfect, both of them are big names in the industry, I invited two of them to help me complete this script, I hope you can use your professional level to fully present the story in my mind on the script. ”
Gu Wei must be lifting two people when he says this.
He has read the resumes of both of them, he was born in the Department of Literature, and he has worked as a screenwriter for movies and TV series. It's just that in the screenwriting world, it also belongs to the middle and lower class roles.
The scripts that have been written are not well-known, and the signatures are low, and at first glance it is the kind of person who does 'Party B', and the work is all done by himself, and people have to find all kinds of faults, and finally let others take all the fame.
A real screenwriter will not come to take Gu Wei's kind of work.
"Understood, Mr. Gu, I am familiar with this job." Yang Tao replied.
Cai Xiaojing also nodded on the side.
After working in the industry for so many years, they also understood what Gu Wei meant.
To put it bluntly, Gu Wei is looking for them to be 'gunmen' and write scripts for himself.
Gu Wei contributes money, they contribute, and writing a satisfactory script is considered the end of the work. All the signatures, copyrights, and the like of the later scripts belong to Gu Wei, and they have nothing to do with them.
They don't have any opinions, it's not the first time they've done this job, and Gu Wei has given more.
