Chu Xuan was originally in school, Huang Bo was still immersed in his sidekick career and couldn't extricate himself. Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin each went home due to holidays.
In this case, he is the only one in the dormitory.
Although today is New Year's Eve, he has long been accustomed to such a life.
In other words, he doesn't pay much attention to these solar terms.
However, since falling in love with Liu Yifei, he has slowly learned to value these days.
Liu Yifei has the romance that Liu Yifei wants, so naturally he has to find ways to think of some romance that he thinks.
However, Liu Yifei couldn't go out at night, and he had no choice. Although it was a pity, as he said in the text message he sent Liu Yifei, the days ahead would be long.
But in this case, Wang Jinhua took the initiative to invite Chu Xuan to her home for the New Year.
At first, Chu Xuan was very embarrassed. The whole family was together, why would he, an outsider, get involved?
But Wang Jinhua came to pick him up at the school gate in person. He had no choice but to come to the door shamelessly.
Wang Jinhua's actions warmed Chu Xuan's heart, and also made Chu Xuan understand more deeply why so many artists are willing to follow Wang Jinhua.
People who behave like this and have a rock-like heart will also be moved.
On the dining table, seven hot dishes were placed in a circle, including hard dishes, side dishes and chicken soup, all delicious and delicious.
No matter how much Wang Jinhua takes care of her family, sometimes career matters will make her come back late.
With the growing Dong Zijian at home, Dong Zhihua, as a father, will naturally take good care of his son, and it is normal for him to develop good cooking skills.
Dong Zijian was so hungry that he ate ravenously.
Dong Zhihua poured Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan a glass of wine as well as himself.
Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan chatted while eating.
“Do you know how much I spent on your marketing?”
"How many?"
The three clinked glasses and took a sip. Wang Jinhua smiled lightly and said, "Four million."
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows. This number was a bit huge in the current economic environment. He said: "Add Zhang Jizhong and the investors of "Men and Women", then this marketing campaign will cost at least tens of millions."
."
Wang Jinhua nodded: "Their purpose is to promote their drama, and my purpose is to promote you. Although the purposes are different, the scope of joint marketing includes you, which is similar to what you said. In order to market you, we three parties
It cost tens of millions. It’s just that I came to promote you on behalf of Huayi alone and spent 4 million."
Chu Xuan nodded to express his understanding.
Wang Jinhua added: "The company invested 3 million yuan in "Talented Men and Female Appearances", accounting for almost 20% of the investment share. Including the 4 million yuan for marketing, a total of 7 million was spent on you. But based on the current ratings of "Talented Men and Female Appearances"
The rate has exceeded 10. According to financial estimates, including subsequent carousel revenue, we can earn at least more than 20 million from copyright fees alone, not counting sponsorship fees and advertiser cooperation fees. We only spent 7 million, and the company earned
Big."
Chu Xuan took a bite of food and said, "Do some people in the company have no objections to me?"
Wang Jinhua smiled when he heard this and said: "With this achievement, the shareholders who had objections to me and you because of my advance marketing really have nothing to say. However, "Men and Women" is a TV series, in which
The income should be taxed, and the financial planning should be coordinated, which takes some time. The company also needs a charter to distribute the money. It is not that the money can be transferred to the account immediately after the income is generated. "
Chu Xuan nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Wang Jinhua picked up the bowl and took a sip of chicken soup, looked at Chu Xuan and said: "In order to prevent some idle people from gossiping, I have accepted an endorsement and print advertisement for you in advance."
"Idle person..." Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
A smile appeared on Wang Jinhua's face and she said: "Some people in the company are short-sighted. It's really annoying to talk to them. When I marketed you in advance, it seemed like the company was losing money. Everyone looked at me and I didn't look good. Now,
After the results were achieved, their faces changed again, and everyone said good things."
With that said, Wang Jinhua glanced at Chu Xuan and said, "What's the point of dealing with such people? Just look at the present, not the future."
Chu Xuan smiled and remained silent. It was not easy for him to interrupt in such words.
The next moment, Wang Jinhua said: "But I am still the president of Huayi, so I have to think about the company. Originally, it would be best to wait for the end of "Men and Women" before accepting any endorsements for you.
The timing is right, but firstly, I want to prove your market value to the people in the company, and secondly, I will take you to Xiangjiang for an audition on January 15th, but I don’t have enough time, so I accepted an endorsement for you in advance."
Chu Xuan understood, lowered his head, took a bite of chicken wings, and asked: "What endorsement? When will I be needed?"
Hearing Chu Xuan's question, Wang Jinhua said: "When you became popular, almost when "Dragon" first started airing, a partner called me to talk about endorsements, but it was too early at that time.
Of course I won’t consider it.”
Wang Jinhua continued: "Later, there were more and more calls from partners. After Tian Zhen and I screened, we finally selected two endorsements that we both recognized."
"Two endorsements?" Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Then what did you choose in the end, or who did you and Tian Zhen ultimately listen to?"
Wang Jinhua smiled: "Of course you listen to me. Tian Zhen chose a sour milk endorsement, which is 1 million a year; I chose a clothing endorsement plus print advertising, which is also 1 million a year."
Chu Xuan raised a smile and said: "If it were me, I would make the same choice as you, sister. You have to be careful about what you eat and endorse these products. Once something goes wrong, it will be difficult for me as a spokesperson to accept such luxury products as endorsements.
If you have good quality, there won’t be so much trouble and there won’t be so much to worry about.”
"Yes, you have the same idea as me." Wang Jinhua raised her wine glass.
Chu Xuan picked up his wine glass and clinked a glass with Wang Jinhua, then toasted to Dong Zhihua, and the three of them drank another glass.
Wang Jinhua put down the wine glass and said: "The endorsement cooperation has been negotiated. The partner's company is in Beijing, which is very convenient. On January 6th, Tian Zhen will take you to an appointment to shoot an endorsement TV commercial and another set.
The photos will be used as print advertisements and will be completed in about a week.”
With that said, Wang Jinhua added: "The endorsement fee of one million yuan per year is already on the front line. But there are also gaps among the front line. Actors such as Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru, Zhang Guoli, Li Chongtong and Chen Daoming, their endorsement fees are as high as
It’s much higher. Singers like Fei Xiang, Dao Lang, and Wang Fei, their endorsement fees are also sky-high. So don’t be proud, you are far behind them.”
Chu Xuan nodded.
There is indeed a gap between the lines, and the gap between some artists is not small.
As for how many lines are used to define an artist's position, it is only a vague concept.
This kind of title is just a positioning based on market popularity and commercial value.
For example, among the older generation of actors and the talented actors who focus on filming, there is no such thing as first-tier and second-tier actors.
Therefore, just listen to a few lines, and don’t take it too seriously.
Chu Xuan deeply agreed with this.
But at this time, Dong Zijian looked like a young adult, holding up a glass of orange juice and saying with a smile: "Brother Chu, I respect you."
Chu Xuan's face was startled, and he raised his wine glass with a smile: "Why do you respect me?"
Dong Zijian's smile did not diminish, and he said crisply: "I heard from my father that my mother has been worried about you these days. When I go home every night, I just stare at the computer and look at the data, and then write and draw until early in the morning before going to bed. I go to bed in the morning
When I got up, my mother went to the company, and when she came back in the evening, I fell asleep again. Now it's better, you are popular, and my mother has time to accompany me."
Chu Xuan's heart was shocked and he was speechless. After being silent for a while, he had a drink with Dong Zijian and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, Chu Xuan picked up the white wine and filled the wine dispenser with two taels of wine. He picked it up and saluted Wang Jinhua, saying: "Sister, I respect you, don't drink it, I'll do it.
"
After saying that, Chu Xuan couldn't help but drink the two ounces of wine in the wine dispenser directly.
Wang Jinhua was startled for a moment and glanced at Dong Zijian. She felt funny that what her son said made Chu Xuan do this, but she felt a little guilty for her son.
But when Wang Jinhua saw Chu Xuan finish the wine from a wine dispenser in one gulp, Wang Jinhua felt relieved again.
Wang Jinhua did not let Chu Xuan drink alone. She picked up the wine glass and smiled at Chu Xuan: "Come on, classmate Chu Xuan, I wish you a bright future."
Dong Zhihua also picked up his wine glass and added: "Xiaoxuan, I wish you a bright future."
Chu Xuan smiled when he heard this, then picked up the wine glass and drank it down with the two of them.
Just a glass of wine.
Wang Jinhua picked up the talent topic and continued: "I will go to Xiangjiang for an audition on January 15th. I will give you the character script later. The role I have decided for you is [Guan]. There are also some "New Police Story" stories on the Internet.
Summary promotion, do you know this character?"
Chu Xuan thought for a while and said: "I know, the super villain specializes in killing policemen. He will be the enemy of Brother Chenglong and a character named [Zheng]. If the audition is successful, then I will have to fight both of them alone."
Playing against each other."
Wang Jinhua nodded: "Not only that, the character [Guan] has a dual personality. When he is depressed, he is like a depressive. When he is cruel, he can brutally kill his girlfriend and brother. This role is more difficult to play than Murong Fu.
After all, it is an urban movie, and the audience has a natural sense of involvement. Moreover, a movie only lasts one or two hours, and every frame and every second reflects the acting skills. If the acting is not good, the audience will be disappointed."
Wang Jinhua added: "However, although this role requires a high level of acting skills, I believe in you, and with the strong recommendation of Cheng Long and Chen Musheng at the time, I finally chose this role. Although it is difficult to act, if you
The performance is excellent, and the benefits you will get after the movie is released are not small."
Wang Jinhua raised his glass and said, "Are you confident that you can win this role?"
Chu Xuan raised a smile on his lips, picked up the wine glass, touched it, and said, "I'll try my best."
Since we had a meal too late, we chatted while drinking, and it was almost 12 o'clock in the evening.
Chu Xuan, Wang Jinhua, Dong Zhihua and Dong Zijian are all waiting for the New Year's Eve moment. After all, it only happens once a year. It has special significance. Wang Jinhua also allows Dong Zijian to go to bed later.
However, just as the New Year's Eve was approaching, Chu Xuan's phone rang.
…
the other side.
Liu Yifei was wearing fluffy purple pajamas. She was standing in front of the window on the balcony of the bedroom, holding the phone to her ear in her right hand.
There are very few stars tonight, only two are shining alone.
These two single bright stars are bright and dazzling in the endless darkness.
It's close to early morning, and the community is quiet at night, with the occasional chirping of insects.
Liu Yifei was in such an environment, while waiting for the call to be connected, she raised her head to admire the beauty of the two stars in the sky, with a smile in her eyes.
The next moment, the call was connected.
"Still not asleep?"
Suddenly hearing Chu Xuan's voice, Liu Yifei's heart surged with warmth. She raised her head and looked at the stars without moving. It was the nostalgic cardamom girl bathing in the cold moonlight.
She opened her pink lips slightly and said, "I can't sleep, New Year's Eve is coming soon."
"Well, there's one more minute."
Liu Yifei said quietly: "Shall we have a countdown?"
“Countdown to New Year’s Eve?”
Liu Yifei softly said "Hmm", perhaps because she was too focused on looking at the stars that seemed to be close together in the sky, she couldn't help but murmured: "I think, although we are not together today, this look is very romantic, isn't it?
?"
"Twenty seconds left."
Hearing these words, Liu Yifei's eyes immersed in the stars suddenly woke up. She raised her hand and looked at her watch, and chuckled: "There are still 10 seconds."
"3 seconds." The two said in unison.
Such a tacit understanding made Liu Yifei smile sweetly.
"2 seconds."
The New Year is approaching, which makes Liu Yifei's heart tense, and she feels an inexplicable feeling of passion.
"1 second."
With a "chirp" sound, lights rose up from the dark sky. When these lights reached a certain height, with a "pop", they scattered like catkins like neon lights, colorful.
This is fireworks.
Liu Yifei looked around and said with a curved eyebrow: "Brother Xuan, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
As soon as Chu Xuan's voice on the other end of the phone fell, he said again: "What are your wishes for the new year?"
Hearing this, Liu Yifei pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I hope my boyfriend will get promoted step by step, what about you?"
The other end of the phone paused for a while, and then Chu Xuan's voice came.
"I hope my girlfriend will be happy every day and her acting skills will get better and better."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and said: "I also hope that the relationship between my boyfriend and his girlfriend will get better and better. There will be no quarrels, no disputes, no barriers, no unhappiness, and they will always be sweet."
"I also hope that my girlfriend and her boyfriend will be full of laughter every day, not worry about career, not tied up in worldly affairs, not troubled by relationships, not worried about family members, and always be pure and innocent."
Liu Yifei suddenly smiled happily, but she hesitated to speak.
She felt that some words were just enough and were just the right amount of sweetness.
She also felt that if she said something else in these words, it might destroy the sweet mood.
Just like the two stars in the sky that she had just been immersed in, they were bright and dazzling at first, but now they were dull and unremarkable because of Chu Xuan's existence.
Therefore, Liu Yifei decided not to say anything more and wanted to end this wonderful experience here, so that she might have a more profound memory of it in the future.
"Good night."
"Good night."
It was originally going to be put on the shelves today, but the editor rejected it, saying that he had arranged a recommendation for this book.
I recommended it once last week. I thought it would not be recommended before it was put on the shelves. However, the editor was very helpful and arranged for this book again.
Thank you [Huya] my sister.
Then, the launch can only be postponed.
Just in time, I can save more manuscripts.
Friends, don’t scold me, it’s the editor who won’t allow it to be put on the shelves.
