Chapter 167 Never underestimate the status and appeal of the Four Heavenly Kings
Brother Daya is a senior entertainment reporter in Hong Kong. Today the newspaper sent him to attend a press conference. It was a very ordinary commercial endorsement. Except that the spokesperson was Andy Lau, this kind of news had almost no breaking points.
When Big Ya walked into the Wild Mountain Collection, he met several familiar colleagues: "The hotel is in a big restaurant, why don't you find a star hotel? The four kings of Hua Zai, don't you have any reputation?"
The person next to him smiled and said: "Daya, don't complain. Go and sign in. The red envelope is pretty good."
Another said: "It's better than us staying up late at night and squatting in the grass? And after the press conference, we can eat directly!"
The surrounding entertainment reporters burst into laughter. They say they are reporters, but in fact they are paparazzi. It is indeed a good job to eat and drink like today. As for Andy Lau's reputation? What does it have to do with me?
"Do you know? Where is Yeshan Qingquan's company? What do they do?"
"Listening to this name, it sounds like a book, right?"
"Could it have something to do with this Wild Mountain Club?"
"Maybe! It doesn't matter what kind of business he does. It doesn't matter if Mars comes."
"Hahaha……"
"..."
When the reporters were basically all present, the press conference officially began.
Regarding the following process, Brother Big Ya was interested in chatting. He was already very familiar with it. It was nothing more than complimenting each other, and the reporters asked a few questions to put the icing on the cake. However, eat, drink, and give me some tofu in the corner in tomorrow's newspaper.
The dry layout is worthy of the red envelope in your pocket...
"Friends from the media, welcome to your arrival..." Huang Jiaojiao looked radiant on the stage. As the CEO of Yeshan Qingquan, I finally showed up!
"This time we are fortunate to invite Mr. Andy Lau to serve as the brand spokesperson of our company. With Hua Zi, the company will be even more powerful. I am so happy!"
"I am also honored to be the brand spokesperson of Yeshan Qingquan." Liu Dehua also smiled, "I wish Yeshan Qingquan, a large and powerful company, great financial resources and prosperity!"
Amidst the laughter, there was polite applause from below. The process was uneventful and there was nothing worth mentioning.
"Dear friends, the unveiling ceremony of the endorsement fee will now be held."
Following Huang Jiaojiao's words, the two invited female models carried a plaque covered with red cloth.
What kind of tricks are they doing? Those entertainment reporters are a bit strange. Now that the endorsement fee is announced, do you need to hold an unveiling ceremony? Should it be so exaggerated? This company that I have never heard of has quite a lot of tricks up its sleeves.
Then I saw Huang Jiaojiao and Liu Dehua taking action together. Amid the applause from all around, they jointly took off the red cloth, revealing a plaque full of numbers.
Brother Big Ya, who was sitting at the bottom, felt his eyes blur: "Take a look, how many zeros are there on there? One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand..."
Many entertainment reporters are like Big Ya, they can't help but count...
Finally, there was someone who was better at mathematics. The entertainment reporter couldn't help shouting: "Take your pick! 20 million endorsement fees? What's the big water pipe?"
Another person on the side immediately said: "Taro, you have to go to the ophthalmologist. Have you counted the zeros? Can you get 200 million?"
Brother Big Ya is also unbelievable, 200 million? Even if Andy Lau is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, is he worth that much money? Is this company out of his mind? Is all their money blown by the strong wind?
But...it's none of my business!
I thought this was a very ordinary commercial endorsement news, but I didn’t expect it to grab a headline!
Brother Big Ya couldn't sit still immediately. He jumped up and asked: "Ms. Huang, is the 200 million you offered real?"
Huang Jiaojiao said happily: "Of course it's true, the endorsement fee is 200 million Hong Kong dollars."
"But...I'm not questioning your bragging. Hollywood stars don't have such a net worth, right?"
Huang Jiaojiao happily explained: "Our company believes that Hua Zai is worth the price. Never underestimate the status and appeal of the Four Heavenly Kings! Thank you!"
Liu Dehua glanced at Huang Jiaojiao gratefully.
Since the specific terms of the contract were kept secret, after negotiation between the two parties, they unanimously agreed that since it was just bragging, they would simply blow it up a little bigger and blow it from 100 million to 200 million!
But having said that, except for the 400,000 yuan endorsement fee in the first year, which seemed to be a little less, Liu Dehua did feel the sincerity of Ye Shanqingquan. Especially the kind of very sincere respect.
You must know that you cannot compare Hong Kong and Taiwan with the situation in the mainland.
In that era, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan did not have high reputations, but their status was not high. They could be considered celebrities, but they were certainly not celebrities. They were not recognized by the upper class at all.
To break through this limitation? Either be like Mr. Xia Meng, the dream girl of Mr. Jin Yong, who later became the standard bearer of left-wing movies. Or be like Mr. Guan Shan, whose daughter is even more famous, Guan Zhilin. But Guan Shan
The teacher is the first international actor in Hong Kong! He has a very high status in the film circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places. Rosamund Kwan is not worthy of even lifting his shoes!
Do you see? That is simply hell difficulty. Apart from that, the only thing left is... to marry into a wealthy family.
Here’s another little tidbit:
When the top luxury brands from Europe and the United States entered Hong Kong and Taiwan, they followed international practice and invited famous artists as spokespersons. Then they were collectively boycotted by wealthy wives groups - are those brands used by low-level actors? Are they worthy of us?
Those top luxury brands in Europe and the United States were immediately confused. How could this happen?
This shows how low the status of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is?
Later, when the top luxury brands entered the mainland, they were also frightened. Some did not dare to invite domestic spokespersons, such as Radar Watch and Remy Martin; some directly used Hollywood stars, such as Lux soap.
However, Li Yuan came from the mainland a few decades later. At that time, top-notch people like Andy Lau were indeed wealthy. They could easily make 120 million yuan a year. How many big companies could do that?
Moreover, the status of mainland movie stars and singers has always been very high, and they are second to none in the world.
So deception is deception, but according to the habits of the previous life, Ye Shan Qingquan still has special respect for Liu Dehua.
Liu Dehua is not stupid. Doesn't he still understand who is really kind to him?
"Hua Zai, do you have anything to say?" a reporter rushed to ask.
"When we were talking about this endorsement, the boss of Yeshan Qingquan said something - there is love and justice, there is a beginning and an end. This is a very humane company, and I am personally very optimistic about their future development..."
"That's us!" Huang Jiaojiao interrupted with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, cover it up, Miss Huang. I firmly believe that our wild mountain spring will flourish and prosper!" At the end of the sentence, Liu Dehua was already a little emotional...
