The people watching around him immediately clapped and cheered upon seeing this, and the sound of celebration resounded throughout the entire conference room. GUCCI CEO Bisari also directly opened a bottle of red wine that had been prepared long ago, and took the initiative to pour a glass for Chi Jingyuan, enthusiastically
Clink glasses to celebrate.
The SM staff team was extremely happy. They were obviously very excited about the promotion. They felt that they and the company were at the forefront of all agencies and artists on the peninsula. This sense of honor and excitement
Much better than some jobs in the country.
GUCCI, on the other hand, did not appear cold. They were also very eager to sign the contract. During the negotiation process, several people who were familiar with SM even shook hands and hugged enthusiastically, as if they were celebrating.
As insiders, they actually knew in their hearts that this signing and promotion were not begged by Chi Jingyuan and SM, but were proactively proposed by their brand, and were urgently requested by themselves.
GUCCI is actually relieved to be able to reach this cooperation... They have recently heard that LV has been eyeing it. The dinner party after the show the day before yesterday even sent an invitation letter to Chi Jingyuan.
Later I heard that the art director had been chatting secretly with him for half an hour, and everyone knew what they meant.
GUCCI cannot let go of its cash cow.
…………
After the contract was signed, there was a banquet that had been prepared. After the banquet, Chi Jingyuan returned to the Four Seasons Hotel suite that GUCCI had reserved for him. He took a shower and came out to find that he had received messages from Ming Jingnan, Zhou Ziyu and several friends.
Text message, just when I was about to sit down and reply, there was a knock on the door of my room. I got up and opened it and found that it was Park Jae Hyun.
Today's work was supposed to be over. Before Chi Jingyuan could get confused, this guy walked in directly with a stack of documents in his hand and explained: "The marketing director at GUCCI just told me something and wants to communicate with you.
one time."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to get a cup of coffee for this brother, handed it to him and asked curiously.
"GUCCI has been in decline in the past few years. It started to turn around after the replacement of artistic director Michele. However, the substantial increase in revenue growth started with the selection of you as the spokesperson for the Asia-Pacific region last year.
Among them, the fastest growing region is Asia, especially the mainland and the peninsula, which have become the two regions where luxury goods are best sold. Needless to say, the mainland, although the market in the peninsula is far not as large as that in the mainland, but luxury goods
The purchasing enthusiasm and proportion are even higher than those in the mainland... This is why several top European luxury brands, including GUCCI, attach great importance to cooperating with you this time."
"Of course, these are just trends, but Jingyuan's ability to bring goods is the most important thing." At the end, Park Jae-hyun added with a smile: "For other artists who are also famous in Asia,
But it’s useless if you can’t carry the goods.”
"Um……"
Although Park Jae-hyun's praise was obvious, Chi Jingyuan just nodded, took a reserved sip of coffee, and immediately agreed without any humility.
He knows his own advantages very well. In fact, as Park Jae-hyun said, his appearance and temperament match the word "luxury" very well, and any clothes he wears are very senseful.
It's like GD brother puts on women's clothes without any sense of inconsistency.
Coupled with his own popularity, his ability to sell goods far exceeds that of ordinary idol idols.
"...So based on the current development momentum, GUCCI wants to deepen its influence in Asia, and on the Peninsula, they want to contact more artists..."
Park Jae-hyun quickly got to the point: "They want to cooperate with some Peninsula artists in a specific scope, including joint promotions, new product promotions, invitations to shows and other events, etc. They may first give a brand friend the status, and then based on
After market research, we will give you a formal brand ambassador title.”
"According to what GUCCI means, if you want to try more, the title will be given very carefully. It is completely incomparable with the most qualified title of a global spokesperson like you. Mr. Bisari is also worried that you will misunderstand, so let me
I’ll explain it to you specifically.”
"That's it..."
Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly when he heard this, but he was not surprised by GUCCI's approach. The Asian market is so big, he can't take it all by himself.
However, if he were to directly skip him and collaborate with other Peninsula artists, even if Chi Kyung-won pretended not to have seen it, he would definitely be dissatisfied. GUCCI was very considerate and asked Park Jae-hyun to explain it specifically.
He drank coffee and asked casually: "I understand...is this the matter?"
"Ani, why would I come here at night for such a trivial matter..."
Park Jae-hyun shook his head: "...Because of your relationship, SM and GUCCI have a very good relationship, and they have opened up a lot of relationships and connections. So GUCCI will naturally ask SM for its opinion if it wants to try to cooperate with more Peninsula artists.
, see if SM has any recommendations..."
"SM was extremely excited after hearing about it. It felt that it had finally obtained the contacts and resources in Europe. They held meetings overnight to discuss, and also contacted many agents of its artists. After some competition and exchange of interests, they were very quickly
I made a list and gave it to GUCCI.”
As he said that, he saw Chi Jingyuan's interested eyes, smiled and handed over the information he had brought, then seemed to think of something, suddenly laughed, and continued: "But the most interesting thing is...
After GUCCI got the SM list, it didn’t take it too seriously because..."
He looked at Chi Jingyuan with a wonderful smile: "Because compared to SM, they actually value your opinion more, Jingyuan."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My opinion?" Chi Jingyuan had just received the information and had not had time to read it. Hearing this, he raised his head in surprise.
"Inside."
Park Jae-hyun smiled and nodded, holding a cup of coffee and sitting on the armrest of the sofa next to Chi Jingyuan: "I talked with GUCCI's marketing department executives. Although they want to cooperate with more artists this time, compared with other artists,
For GUCCI, the most important thing is to keep a tight grip on you as a cash cow, so they will take the initiative to ask SM."
"At first, they actually wanted to refer to your opinion. It was an exchange of interests. If the artist is more suitable, they would directly adopt it. It was also a gesture of goodwill to us... But SM didn't understand what GUCCI meant. Really
Thinking that we could reach a large-scale cooperation with GUCCI, we excitedly took the list, but later people found out that we were not involved, so, haha..."
"That's really interesting."
Chi Jingyuan finally understood the purpose of Park Jae-hyun's visit and couldn't help but laugh. He crossed his legs and curiously opened the information he handed over, which was SM's special recommendation for artists.
Sure enough, there are all very familiar faces above.
The first sister, BOA, is on the first page. If you scroll down, you’ll find TVXQ’s Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin. After that, there’s Girls’ Generation’s Yoona, Red Velvet’s Park Sooyoung is also there, and EXO only has Kim Jong-in.
The information is very detailed. Not only does it include handsome and beautiful artistic photos, but it also writes about various activities and award-winning experiences. Everyone seems to be a very good and outstanding artist.
Turning to the back, even NCT members who debuted last year, including Lee Taeyong, Mark Lee, and Hwang Xuxi, all have that person's name.
This is not a simple list. Anyone who appears on this list is likely to get the GUCCI title. After some exchange of interests, the agent strives hard for it.
Fashion-type resources have fewer things to do, high exposure, are glamorous, can make connections and expand resources, and earn more. They are far better than those in the peninsula, such as variety shows, radio stations, singing songs and other schedules and resources, so fashion
Resources have always been the best resources in the entertainment industry.
Not to mention the most luxurious resources like GUCCI. As long as we can reach cooperation and get the title, it will definitely be a big improvement for everyone above.
Looking at these familiar faces and lists, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
SM really used his reputation to recommend many people to GUCCI.
It's just that... the company has never thought about whether he is willing to recommend these people or share his resources and connections.
Although they are all very familiar faces, and they often meet each other in the company, and they get along well with each other, but they are still far from being willing to give resources, let alone the two brothers from TVXQ and NCT.
Those juniors were not very familiar with Chi Jingyuan at all.
SM wanted to rely on Chi Jingyuan's resources to push them over, but did not discuss it with Chi Jingyuan, and it was indeed a bit arrogant.
Even if it's Yoona-senpai... Even if Chi Kyung-won is her loyal fan, the relationship between the two is not that good yet. Of course, he will not take the initiative to lick the most scarce and high-quality resources and offer them with both hands.
I must give priority to my girlfriend and good friends.
It would be OK if she were replaced by Kim Taeyeon...but SM seems to know that this girl is not suitable for fashion, so she didn't appear on the list at all.
"And Jongin..."
"Brothers from BOA and TVXQ can come up. I understand why these kids from NCT are here..." Chi Jingyuan roughly flipped through the list information, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at Park Jae-hyun: "So GUCCI wants me to recommend a few people to go there?
"Indeed." Park Jae-hyun nodded with a smile: "And unlike this carefully crafted work that was directly invalidated, they will definitely refer to your suggestion carefully, Jingyuan..."
"How many places are there?"
"They didn't say anything over there...but it certainly shouldn't be too much. This time GUCCI is just trying. It is estimated that a total of four or five people on the peninsula will be selected to cooperate. They must also have their favorite goals...the other party is showing such goodwill.
, of course we have to stop it in moderation.”
"OK~"
Chi Jingyuan had previously considered whether there would be an opportunity to get some resources for his girlfriend or close relatives during this fashion week, and GUCCI really responded by giving him pillows for sleeping.
He snapped his fingers, took out the notepad on his phone and started writing, ignoring everyone on the list before.
The first one is Twice Nai Minami... Regardless of whether she is from a company or not, when something like this happens, of course the first person to consider is her real girlfriend.
Then there are red velvlet Kang Seulgi and EXO Oh Sehun.
These two close relatives and wingmen of the same age are his right and left wings... He is very loyal.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Jingyuan's hand suddenly paused as if hesitating. He thought for a while and then wrote a few more names.
