Chapter 207 The movie hasn’t even been made yet, but it’s already profitable
Han Zhou and Wei Yuan drank until two o'clock in the evening.
Wei Yuan and the others were not yet able to overthrow Han Zhou.
If Chen Dayong's combat effectiveness is 50,000, Chen Xiaoyong's combat effectiveness is 10,000, and Han Zhou's combat effectiveness is 5,000, then the combat effectiveness of Wei Yuan plus glucose oral solution is about 5,000.
Wei Yuan was dissatisfied with being despised by Zhan Wuzha, so he was thrown over and carried back by his brother-in-law.
Han Zhou also told brother-in-law Wei Yuan that there would be a role next.
I'm going to give him the role of a police officer.
When he returned to the company, Han Zhou saw Yang Hong who was still awake.
"Sister Hong, why don't you rest?"
Yang Hong now considers the company her home and lives in the company. Even though her family has a single room in a small courtyard in the old town of Yanjing, she has not gone back to live there.
Of course, living there may not be as comfortable as the company.
But I haven't rested so late, so something is obviously going on.
Yang Hong took out a piece of paper: "You were busy with the party some time ago, so I didn't bother you."
"These things are the endorsements sent recently."
Han Zhou picked it up and looked at it.
Huaxing mobile phone?
Shanhai Automobile?
In addition to these two big names, there are also many smaller endorsements.
But looking at the amount, these two endorsements are still bigger.
Han Zhou: "You can take this."
At present, they are all on an upward trend, and soon, in about a year, word-of-mouth will explode.
It stands to reason that given Han Zhou's current status as a celebrity, he should choose a foreign brand to endorse him.
But for mobile phones, in the past two years, foreign mobile phones, except for fruits, have almost fallen behind. If you choose a Huaxing mobile phone, it will actually be good for improving your personal image.
As for Shanhai Automobile, it is a lower grade than Huaxing Mobile, but the price is higher than Huaxing Mobile.
Because cars are more profitable than mobile phones.
Moreover, Shanhai Automobile currently wants to adopt a hardcore style and is planning to launch its own hardcore off-road vehicle and hardcore pickup truck.
This endorsement is better than the car endorsement.
There is also the fact that Shanhai Automobile wants to purchase the exclusive commercial endorsement rights for "The Ordinary Road".
This is another price. The total cost is much higher than that of mobile phone endorsement.
It can be said that at present, apart from European luxury goods, the companies that Han Zhou may endorse are probably the companies with the highest endorsement fees in the world.
However, European luxury goods are too easy to be exposed to thunder.
All artists under New World do not accept luxury goods endorsements. Han Zhou has already told Sister Hong about this.
Han Zhou pondered: "As for the car, it's not bad either."
However, it has been more than a year since "The Ordinary Road" was released. Why do you think of this song now?
It is not that no car companies have proposed this before, but either they are foreign car companies that are prone to thunderstorms, or they are domestic and foreign car companies that do not offer high prices, so this song has not yet been used to make money.
Han Zhou: "Why are they suddenly looking for endorsements at this time and spending so much money to buy out "The Ordinary Road"?"
Yang Hong pulled out a piece of paper: "I have collected all the information, please take a look."
Han Zhou read the information and quickly understood.
At present, Shanhai Automobile has launched two models suitable for off-road use in the automobile market, one is called Shanhai Pao pickup truck and the other is called Great Wall Pao pickup truck.
Currently, they are preparing to launch a model called Armor 300.
This car will be Shanhai Automobile's current flagship model, and it wants to gain a good reputation, so it is eager to spend money.
There is a second reason. Wei Changjun, the chairman of Shanhai Automobile Group, has a daughter. Now his daughter has joined the group and will start to take charge of things.
Therefore, all matters in this area were left to his daughter.
After the younger generation came up, they did things differently from the older generation.
New people, new atmosphere.
However, Han Zhou had a bad feeling.
In my previous life, there was a domestic car company with a man named Wei and a daughter. His daughter was not a good person and was complained about by fans of the car company.
Han Zhou: "Isn't she an adopted daughter?"
Yang Hong: "How do you know?"
Is it true that Han Zhou's tactical retreat was such a coincidence? Then he had to defend himself.
"You reply to them. If the other party agrees not to invite female spokespersons or event spokespersons for the Shanhai Automobile series in the future, I will agree to this endorsement."
"If there's a reason, just say that I don't want to have anything to do with any female stars or artists."
Yang Hong’s head was full of questions, what is this request?
Han Zhou: "Just do it."
If in the future someone brings out a "common man", and then Shanhai Automobile invites her to an event, who can bear it?
In the previous life, the car company's spokesperson had always been a tough-guy male celebrity with the surname Zhang. As a result, the inventor of "Puxin Nan" was invited to an event, and it was widely spread that she was the spokesperson of Shanhai Automobile.
The original spokesperson never mentioned that he was the spokesperson of Shanhai Automobile.
I'm afraid of being implicated.
Originally, endorsement was a collaboration between the two parties' reputations. One plus one was greater than two. However, it ended up being like a large publicity channel wasted. This was a big loss.
Han Zhou looked at Yang Hong: "This Huaxing mobile phone, the chairman doesn't have a little princess who wants to debut, right?"
Han Zhou remembered that in his previous life, the little princess from a mobile phone company had made her debut and was also the spokesperson of that automobile group. The two little princesses obviously had a good relationship in private.
Yang Hong: "You are very concerned about the technology market, do you know this?"
Han Zhou smiled awkwardly: "If it has nothing to do with me, just pretend I didn't ask."
…
Early in the morning, Wei Zihan told Yao Nana Han Zhou's request.
Yao Nana: "...So, our plan failed."
When Yao Nana debuted, Wei Zihan thought of a way to invite Han Zhou to endorse Shanhai Automobile, and then Shanhai Automobile invited Yao Nana to also be the spokesperson.
The two spokespersons will inevitably shoot commercials together, shoot many commercials, and attend many events.
In this way, Yao Nana will be able to gain fame as soon as she debuts.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhou proposed that if he wanted to be a spokesperson, Shanhai Automobile must promise not to invite female spokespersons on the grounds that he did not want to have any entanglements with any female artists.
Neither of the two little girls knew that Han Zhou was not guarding against being famous, but guarding against being famous for his endorsements.
You have to tell Han Zhou honestly that it is for this, and Han Zhou will say: This requires extra money!
But I will never refuse.
When it comes to making money, do you care whether you get cheated? So what if you get cheated? As long as you have more money and the fees are in place, you can just get cheated.
Yao Nana: "Then I'll quit. It's enough for you to invite him as a spokesperson."
"Your Armor 300 needs a strong spokesperson."
"When your coffee series comes out, it won't be too late for me to endorse it."
Wei Zihan, the person with the best fortune in the world, now controls a cash flow that ordinary people of her age cannot imagine. She makes decisions all by herself. Moreover, because she was adopted by Wei Changjun, she cares about authority. It can be said within the company
It means the same thing.
Yao Nana didn't want to influence her friend's judgment and thus affect Shanhai Automobile, so she voluntarily quit.
Wei Zihan: "What a pity...that."
Yao Nana: "Maybe after Han Zhou endorses Huaxing mobile phones, I can be the spokesperson of my own company, and we can still cooperate by then."
Wei Zihan: "Then I'll make an appointment with Han Zhou to discuss the contract."
"How about you come over? Even if we can't cooperate, it would be nice to take the opportunity to meet."
Yao Nana thought for a while: "Okay."
"It would be better if I could spend money to ask him to buy a song."
…
Soon, Han Zhou arrived at the headquarters of Shanhai Automobile in Yanjing.
Arriving here, Han Zhou quickly saw the Armored 300.
The staff took Han Zhou to the conference room, but Han Zhou directly asked for the keys and got into the unissued car.
Although its concept car has been exhibited at auto shows a long time ago, it is still two different things from the actual car.
Han Zhou drove around and stopped. Shanhai's deputy manager hurriedly introduced: "Teacher Han, this car is an off-road vehicle, so it has urban performance..."
Han Zhou: "I understand, a lot of urban performance has been sacrificed, but it's already good to be able to do this."
Han Zhou: "However, this car is so big, but it feels very light and a bit sloppy to drive. Also, the front row is made of leather, but the back row is made of plastic, so the texture is a bit poor."
"In addition, this car is so big on the outside, but it's small on the inside, especially the rear legroom."
The deputy manager laughed awkwardly: "There is no way, because this is a beam truck and not load-bearing, so a lot of space is sacrificed."
Han Zhou nodded.
To be honest, the biggest feature of this car is that compared to other off-road vehicles, it is cheap!
When other cars go off-road and break down, the money spent on repairing the car can be used to buy a new car with 300 armor.
For those car owners who can afford five to six hundred thousand or even one million to modify an off-road vehicle, they may not be willing to take their car off-road.
But if they buy an Armor 300, they will definitely go out without any scruples.
If it breaks down, just buy a new one.
This is its biggest advantage, allowing people who can't afford to go off-road to go off-road without any scruples.
Moreover, if someone who simply likes the appearance of an off-road vehicle like a square box buys it, it can also be used as a family car.
Although it is not as comfortable as a car, it feels similar to most urban off-roading.
The sense of control is several levels better than that of imported American off-road vehicles currently on the market.
Han Zhou talked about his driving experience, but unfortunately there was no venue to test the off-road performance.
But for Shanhai, they have experience with the Shanhai Cannon and the Great Wall Cannon. If they dare to say that this vehicle is an off-road vehicle, they must be confident.
After all, when domestic products are brought out, people will use a magnifying glass to look for shortcomings. If it is not higher than the market average, they will never dare to say that it is a hard-core off-road vehicle.
Soon, the deputy manager took Han Zhou to the front desk of Shanhai Group.
A very young girl wearing a white suit walked up and said, "Hello, Teacher Han."
Han Zhou stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Wei."
The girl smiled brightly: "Don't call me old, just call me Zihan or Xiaowei."
Han Zhou: "Then you can also call me by my name."
Photographers came rushing up.
Wei Zihan showed a professional smile: "Let's take a photo together."
After the group photo ended, Wei Zihan and others took Han Zhou upstairs.
Shanhai Automobile is very respectable. The entire corridor is covered with red carpet and flowers are placed on both sides.
Many employees stood on both sides to greet him.
Still smiling: "Teacher Han!"
"Han Zhou, wow, he's so handsome!"
I don’t know if it’s the power of money or Han Zhou’s own charm.
When Han Zhou heard someone shouting "Tang Zhou", Han Zhou knew that he really had his fans here.
I'm afraid only old fans know such an old joke.
Han Zhou deliberately said "It's Han Zhou" with a straight face, and then laughed loudly.
The scene was full of jubilation and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Entering the conference room, Wei Zihan took out a document: "Han Zhou, please take a look."
Han Zhou opened it and took a look.
The endorsement fee is 30 million for one year and the contract is for three years.
The right to use "The Ordinary Road" is either 16 million per year or 40 million for life.
There is also a labor fee of 10 million for every advertisement shot.
For each set of photos taken, the labor fee is three million.
In terms of obligations, every time Han Zhou attends a public event, he must drive or take a car owned by Shanhai. If he takes the latest model car of the year, he will be compensated 500,000 yuan per time.
If you are traveling privately, you can use other cars without being photographed, but if you deliberately cooperate with the photos, it will trigger a breach of contract.
On the show, if the show itself has other car sponsors, Han Zhou cannot contact these sponsors.
If contact is absolutely unavoidable, the name of this brand of car cannot be mentioned.
This is considered a normal clause.
After reading it, Han Zhou nodded: "The price is very high."
Not only is it very high, it is simply super high.
Unless Han Zhou goes to the United States one day, becomes famous in the United States, and then accepts endorsements or luxury goods endorsements, it is basically impossible to find a higher endorsement contract.
However, Han Zhou also took out a document: "Mr. Wei, take a look."
Wei Zihan: "Didn't it mean that the names match each other?"
Han Zhou smiled: "Well, Wei Zihan, take a look."
Don't call me so affectionate yet. The contract will definitely need to be stretched. If it breaks down in the process, it will be so embarrassing when you think about it and call it so affectionate.
Wei Zihan took the document and read it, then looked up in shock.
This is Han Zhou’s shooting plan.
Wei Zihan took a look and found that the entire car scene in the film was no less than ten minutes.
The police film has a suspense theme and there are so many car shots.
Drag racing scene? Drag racing shootout?
"We voted!"
Han Zhou: "?"
"Don't you look back?"
Wei Zihan: "One hundred million, we voted!"
Han Zhou: "!"
It is too late to fall back tactically.
One hundred million? No, are you...
The movie "Heart of the Burning Sun" will not have a high box office, and the shooting cost is estimated to be only tens of millions.
You take out 100 million...
So the movie is already making a profit even before it’s filmed?
this……
Making movies is so fucking profitable!
Han Zhou: "No, if the box office is not high..."
Wei Zihan: "The second villain hasn't been confirmed yet, right? But the first villain is Tang Zhou, and the first male lead is Zhang Ceyong."
"Just because Tang Zhou and Zhang Ceyong have been driving Shanhai Automobile for one movie, they are worth 100 million."
"You wrote on it that there will be at least five minutes of in-car scenes anyway, right?"
Han Zhou nodded: "Indeed."
Wei Zihan: "We voted!"
Han Zhou originally planned to deal with it, so he just hired anyone.
Wei Zihan asked for 100 million. Now, if he didn't invite Luo Daming to be a counter-attacker, he would not be able to afford the advertising fee.
However, Han Zhou still thought for a moment: "I'm sure I will vote. You have to know that movies are uncertain. If they are filmed and become popular..."
Wei Zihan: "If we invest, if we lose, the loss is our own business."
Han Zhou: "Okay, just because you are so generous, I won't study the terms of my endorsement contract. I will check it with New World's legal affairs. If there are no problems, I can sign it."
Han Zhou can't say that his movie will definitely not have a high box office, right?
That's not right either. How many movies with a box office of over 300 million are there in the country now? Not many.
A box office of 300 million is already high enough. Compared to "Kung Fu"'s 2 billion, it is certainly lower, but it also depends on who you are comparing it to.
Moreover, Han Zhou's lineup is a level higher in popularity than the original lineup, but his acting skills are about the same.
Such a comparison shows that the box office appeal is much higher, at least for 500 million.
Shanhai Group cannot lose much.
For this part, I didn't have to worry about the contract and signed it directly. Even if it loses money, Shanhai Group will not have other thoughts. After all, Han Zhou made concessions on the contract.
Everyone, please take a step back.
The contract was negotiated quite easily.
Wei Zihan smiled: "Han Zhou, the contract was passed to your New World through official channels."
"Let me take you on a tour inside our Shanhai. Although we are not a factory here, there are some interesting things in the administrative headquarters."
Han Zhou: "Okay."
After walking around for a while, Wei Zihan said: "Let's take a break and have lunch?"
"I have a friend who is also at the company today, can I join him?"
For the sake of money, Han Zhou said: "We must go together, Mr. Wei... Zihan, your good friend is my good friend, how can we not eat together!"
Soon, Han Zhou saw Yao Nana in the canteen of Shanhai Group.
Wei Zihan introduced him, and Han Zhou pretended to be surprised: "Oh, we are actually traveling together."
"By the way, Huaxing Mobile has also been talking to me about endorsements recently."
Yao Nana is different from Wei Zihan. Wei Zihan is more polite, while Yao Nana is more cheerful and smiles heartily: "Haha, I don't work at home, but I heard that the company likes high-quality idols like Han Zhou very much."
"I was studying abroad last year and listened to many of your songs, especially the song "The Last of the Mohicans". Almost all my classmates liked it."
"That's awesome. If only you could write a song for me."
"I can bid higher than the market price."
After hearing this, Han Zhou's smile froze: "No."
Before the atmosphere calmed down, Han Zhou said: "In the entertainment industry, we are rivals, unless you join the New World."
"Or, you may have been officially certified as a second-tier or above singer."
"This way I can write a song for you."
"The company has rules, and I can't break them."
According to the company's regulations, doesn't Han Zhou come just by opening his mouth?
Yao Nana was very disappointed: "Ah, it's a pity, but I just signed a contract to join Baina Records."
Baina is an American company, but Yao Nana should be talking about Baina China, not Baina Group.
Like Mailang and Global China, Bainahuaguo is an enterprise in which Chinese people control the vast majority of shares and has completed localization.
Han Zhou: "That's a pity. I lost a good opportunity for cooperation. I really want to cooperate."
Yao Nana: "What if Huaxing Mobile invites you to write a song for Huaxing Mobile, and it is a chorus song, and then invites other female singers to sing together through official channels?"
Han Zhou: "Oh, this doesn't violate the company's regulations, as long as the money is available, but the price of customized songs may be very high."
Yao Nana thought for a while: "Okay, at least it's an opportunity."
He left empty-handed and came back with a contract worth 230 million.
Han Zhou called Luo Daming in the car and invited Luo Daming to play Yang Zidao.
Just after making the call, Han Zhou received a call from Ye Manyi.
Ye Manyi: "I heard that you invited Tang Zhou to play the villain."
Han Zhou: "Tang Zhou has never acted in a movie before, and he is the opposite when he comes out. What a good configuration!"
Ye Manyi sneered: "He's still a rapist. I heard there's a passionate scene?"
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly: "Oh, for art...you know art, I also...haha, art art, dedicate myself to art."
Ye Manyi: "Oh?"
Han Zhou broke the pot and said: "How about you act as the victim?"
Ye Manyi was silent for a while: "Okay."
Han Zhou: "!"
It feels good and saves money.
"Let's make an agreement first. The characters in these scenes will at most make friendly guest appearances, and at most treat you to a meal."
Ye Manyi: "Okay."
Han Zhou: "These shots have to reveal something. Can you accept showing your face?"
Then Han Zhou heard the sound of Ye Manyi tapping the phone's microphone frantically.
Han Zhou loudly said: "On the back, just the back!!!"
