Chapter 227: Killing chickens to make an example to monkeys
The next day, Lin Qingyuan had to catch the noon flight back to the Hengdian crew, so he did not wait until after lunch to leave with the rest of the crew. Instead, he set an alarm for eight o'clock and got up from bed early in the morning to wash up and change clothes.
Then he packed up his personal luggage and left Moguwu quietly without taking a single cloud with him.
However, the program team obviously can't let him get what he wants. After all, this is a big guest they spent a lot of money to invite. If after the show is broadcast, fans will see that we treat Lin Qingyuan with this attitude, no one will leave the Mogu House.
If you give it away, it will definitely be washed away by them...
So he quickly called out several resident guests, and then Teacher He called Zhang Zifeng to go to the female guest and ask if she wanted to get up and see Lin Qingyuan off.
Word spread like this, and everyone in the room came out to see off the guests. It was such a spectacular sight. Lin Qingyuan was probably the only person in the entertainment industry who could enjoy such farewell treatment.
"I'm really troubling everyone. I originally thought that I would quietly pick up the box and leave so early, but I didn't expect that you would all come to see me off."
Lin Qingyuan has never liked such meaningless pomp and circumstance, but on the surface, he still wants to thank everyone.
After all, no matter whether he liked this behavior or not, everyone still got up from bed early in the morning and came to see him off without even changing into pajamas. This was an undeniable fact, so Lin Qingyuan naturally needed to express his gratitude.
"You kid is leaving without telling us in advance." He Jiong smiled and accused: "If the program team hadn't told us that you had to get up early to catch a flight, we would have thought that Muguwu had appeared when we got up.
"The main thing is that I don't want to trouble you. After all, everyone played until very late last night and went to bed." Lin Qingyuan smiled.
"What does it matter? As long as you can get up, we can get up too." Song Qian was also laughing.
She has a cheerful and generous personality, and she and Lin Qingyuan chatted for a long time last night. In addition, during the chat, they accidentally learned that the other party was the best man and bridesmaid at Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin's wedding, and they felt like they knew each other at first sight.
Of course, this is only a temporary relationship. If you want it to truly develop into a friendship, you will need to keep in touch with both parties to get closer.
"Let's take a group photo!" He Jiong suggested.
"It's fine for me. It just depends on whether the sisters have any problem." Lin Qingyuan meant that everyone, especially the female guests, are now in a bare-faced state without makeup, and the photos taken may be the same as usual at work.
There are certain gaps in the refined pictures of the room posted online.
Of course no one would raise any objections. I just used my hands to cover my face when taking pictures.
After taking the photo, Lin Qingyuan put the luggage he was carrying into the trunk, then opened the car door and smiled at everyone: "Friends, it's time to say goodbye."
Another round of waving and goodbyes.
Lin Qingyuan suddenly noticed that Zhang Zifeng seemed to have something to say, but he needed to keep a distance from her now, so he did not say goodbye to her alone.
This kind of hazy adolescent goodwill usually disappears as time goes by, so Lin Qingyuan felt that this cold treatment method might be a good way to deal with this unrequited love that is unlikely to bear fruit.
Close the door and start the car.
Lin Qingyuan left Wengcao Village.
"What's the difference between this year and last year? I'm referring to the specific experience and feelings of recording the program."
Yan Jun and Lin Qingyuan were both sitting in the back row.
"I feel like everyone is very polite to me. Teacher Huang and Teacher He are a little better, but Peng Peng is Peng Yuchang. He seems really reserved in front of me, as if I might suddenly act big and scold him anytime, anywhere.
It was like a sudden move, which made me a little embarrassed..."
Lin Qingyuan skillfully put on the neck pillow and leaned on the back of the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate.
In addition, Zhang Zifeng also obviously talked a lot less in front of him than last year and the year before. So is this a taciturn stage that is very common in adolescence?
Of course, he was not really dissatisfied with their attitude. After all, this was a sign of their respect and reverence for themselves. However, correspondingly, if they respected a person too much, they would naturally lose the possibility of becoming friends with him.
But Lin Qingyuan doesn't need to turn everyone into his friend, so it doesn't matter.
"Putting your current position in front of them will indeed give them a great sense of oppression, because they know more than outsiders, so they also know better how difficult it is for you to achieve your current achievements.
The influence and celebrity status of domestic entertainment are so exaggerated."
"How big is the celebrity status?" Lin Qingyuan did not have a clear positioning of his current celebrity status. After all, things like celebrity status are illusory. Only by comparing with others can one see whether the celebrity status is big or not.
"Probably at the same level as Li Yuchun." Yan Jun didn't know for sure, unless he let the two of them walk the red carpet immediately to see who the organizer wanted to be the finale.
"Chun Chun?" Lin Qingyuan smiled: "We are all friends. Whoever gets the last moment on the red carpet is the same, it doesn't matter."
He and Li Yuchun are friends, so as for the red carpet finale, they just have to take turns, so don't ruin the friendship.
"It sounds like you two can monopolize all red carpets in domestic entertainment..." Yan Jun was speechless.
"As long as she and I are willing to compete and make trouble, then there are probably not many people who can snatch the finale spot."
Frankly speaking, the reason why Li Yuchun has been able to get so many finales is because she is not only a big fan, but she also cares about this thing very much. She will often report the situation to the organizer and ask the organizer to arrange for her to be the finale.
The same is true for Lin Qingyuan.
As long as he wants to compete, there are not many people in the domestic entertainment industry who can compete with him for the top spot. Even when it comes to the issue of film and television drama titles, only Yang Mi and Zhao Liying among those 85 girls can barely compete with him.
Yan Jun also thinks so, but he still hopes that Lin Qingyuan can keep a low profile: "Your current development speed is fast enough, which makes me a little worried that you will become a lost cause, so it is best for us not to do it in the near future.
Make negative news."
Of course Lin Qingyuan knew what Yan Jun was worried about: "I know, so our team and the two 85-flower teams have a tacit understanding to avoid cooperation, so as not to quarrel over the ranking issue."
"Yes, this is the real king without seeing the king." Yan Jun nodded.
Needless to say, the importance of acting in today's domestic entertainment is not only directly related to an actor's face, but also closely related to business negotiations, that is, economic income, so they cannot treat it casually.
After all, you might be able to take the opportunity to negotiate for more business endorsements after all, and the top endorsement fees usually start at 7 to 8 million, so fighting is equivalent to grabbing money, which is why it is easy to understand why domestic entertainment is so popular.
Celebrities are either making fun of each other every day or are on the way to making trouble.
"Um, the global brand of LV has been announced recently. Are there any new businesses coming to us for cooperation while the business is hot?" Lin Qingyuan asked.
"There are two new additions, and one is an upgraded endorsement title."
"Which one has been upgraded?"
"L'Oréal Paris." Yan Jun looked down at the memo on his phone: "You used to be the spokesperson for their makeup line, and your turnover increased significantly during your tenure. In addition, other brands are eyeing you, so now they want to directly give you
to your global spokesperson.”
"Global full-line spokesperson?"
"Across the globe."
"Didn't that collide with YSL? I endorsed YSL's skin care line." Lin Qingyuan was confused.
"You don't need to worry about this issue. We have already talked with L'Oreal and YSL. They should have exchanged interests in other aspects, so they made an exception and promoted this cooperation smoothly."
“What about the two new endorsements?”
"The global spokesperson for Lancôme's makeup and fragrances and the brand spokesperson for Nescafe coffee." Yan Jun replied.
"Okay, we are in conflict again. Lancôme's makeup is in conflict with L'Oréal, and perfume is in conflict with Bulgari. Is it really okay for them to invite cooperation like this?" Lin Qingyuan naturally would not refuse these high-quality endorsements. After all, everyone
Endorsements can earn him eight figures, but he is just curious.
"We don't have to worry about it. Lancôme, L'Oréal and YSL Yves Saint Laurent are all sub-brands of the L'Oréal Group. We don't care about any internal communications and concessions they make. All you need to do is endorse them."
"Furthermore, perfume is only something that comes with the endorsement title. The contract stipulates that they will not require us to shoot Lancome's perfume advertisements, so we still focus on Bulgari in terms of fragrance."
"Okay, how much is the endorsement fee?"
"L'Oréal offers 20 million per year, Lancôme offers 18 million per year, and Nescafé is relatively low, only 17 million." Yan Jun said.
"It's only 17 million, which is already twice that of others..." Lin Qingyuan knew that the quotation for this contract was slightly lower than his current endorsement market price, but it was better than nothing. After all, the quotation was just a quotation.
"It's almost twice that of other top players. For example, Yang Yang's quotation this year is 12 million for two years. You are more than twice his." Yan Jun nodded.
"Why take Yang Yang as an example?" Lin Qingyuan was a little confused.
"He has been in contact with our company recently and wants to get the male lead in the drama adaptation of Gu Man's new book."
"So does this have anything to do with us?" Lin Qingyuan knew that Yang Yang made his fortune thanks to Gu Man.
You must know that without Weiwei, there would be no Yang Yang today. It is understandable that Yang Yang, whose career development has been frustrated in recent years, wants to hug Gu Man's thigh again.
"But the scheduled male lead of this drama is you. Although there is no requirement that we must act in it, and it is very possible to let this drama go, there is no doubt that he has repeatedly bypassed us and contacted Gu Man privately with the company.
It's a provocation to us. There's no way his team doesn't know that you are the male lead in all Cehua's age-appropriate self-made dramas." Yan Jun said a lot of angry words without expression.
"By the way, didn't he make a transition this year to film military dramas? Why is he thinking about returning to the idol drama track before the filming is completed? Is he looking for a way out for himself, or is he not thinking about truly transitioning and filming this movie?
Are military dramas just a face-saving project to follow the crowd?"
Lin Qingyuan didn't feel much about this. Maybe this was the difference in thinking between managers and artists.
He felt that Yang Yang and he were not on the same level as artists, so they were not worth taking seriously.
In fact, other top figures in domestic entertainment also think so, so there has been very little news about Yang Yang in recent years, both positive and negative news.
Yan Jun felt that Yang Yang's behavior was a bit bad. This kind of behavior of privately contacting the original author to participate in the project as soon as it was launched was disrespectful to Lin Qingyuan, Lin Qingyuan's team and producer Fang Cehua.
Frankly speaking, Lin Qingyuan felt that Yan Jun seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill, but it was better to keep such personal thoughts in mind, and it would affect the relationship if he really spoke them out.
Besides, Yan Jun was "making a fuss out of a molehill" for his own good. He obviously wanted to take this opportunity to scare the monkeys and help Lin Qingyuan establish his dignity in domestic entertainment.
So Lin Qingyuan only needs to lie down quietly, and his team will help him take care of everything. This chapter has been completed!
