Chapter 71 Gold is priceless and jade is priceless!
"Make a wish." Liu Bingbing placed the candle in place, picked up the lighter and lit it.
Zhao Mingyang closed his eyes and said: "I hope Liu Bingbing will become a best actress soon."
Then she opened her eyes and blew out the candles immediately. This small gesture moved Liu Bingbing deeply.
His birthday wish was actually given to him, and it was still such a wish.
"You just wasted your birthday wish?" Liu Bingbing said.
"How do you call this a waste? And you are worth it. You work so hard and have been working hard for your dream. This is worth it. You are like the lost part of my life. To be honest, I also had dreams before, but slowly
I lost it, couldn't find it, and felt that people shouldn't have dreams.
But after meeting you, I discovered that people still have to have dreams. Let’s drink for dreams. I will also pursue my dreams!” Zhao Mingyang picked up the glass bottle of Coke and clinked the glasses with Liu Bingbing, who was holding Wangzai milk.
.
Liu Bingbing was very touched by these words. It seemed like a confession, but it wasn't. It was more like praising Liu Bingbing. Who doesn't like to be praised, especially being praised as a teacher, like a beacon, and nothing more than flattery?
That's the point where you can't get the picture right.
Liu Bingbing was manipulated by Zhao Mingyang. Liu Bingbing was happiest when others recognized her, especially when her dreams were recognized and influenced others.
The boss saw Zhao Mingyang celebrating his birthday and gave him a plate of home-cooked food and an appetizer.
Liu Bingbing looked at Zhao Mingyang and said: "I have been in a dilemma recently. What do you think I should do in the future? I saw many students consulted their teachers, and the teacher's advice was to follow a big director or a big crew, or go to the drama stage to hone their skills.
After a while, many students consulted relevant people in the industry, and they suggested that if there is a movie, accept it, if there is an advertisement, then accept it, and if there is a camera, do it, and make sure the audience knows your face first."
This is the reason why Liu Bingbing came to Zhao Mingyang, because she is about to be a junior in college. Many junior students are not in school anymore and are anxious to go out. She also wants to give it a try.
Zhao Mingyang cut a piece of cake for Liu Bingbing and said: "The reason why film and television companies like to find some publicity and distribution companies, that is, marketing companies like ours, is simply because they know that we understand the market trend. For example, we will promote a bad movie.
It's a magical drama. It has achieved results and the capital has returned its capital. It doesn't matter whether it is criticized or not.
For example, a tomb-robbing drama was poorly shot and not interesting. The actors and management know that this movie will be a hit once it is released, and it is a theatrical movie. So what should we do?
If you entrust us, we will say that this is a youth romance drama, an urban apartment drama, and a movie adapted from a popular TV series. Everyone pays for youth. Youth must be brought to an end. As a result, a group of people
I went to pay the bill and found out that it was a bad movie and not at all what it was advertised to be.
But during the pre-sale period, the movie paid off, the actors got their pay, and only the audience paid for the bad movie. Will the audience be stupid enough to pay for it again? The answer is yes, as long as you give them what they want to see, change the topic next time.
For example, youth is not old, we restart the road of youth and so on.
First of all, this group of actors basically have no intention of engaging in acting career for a long time. They just regard this industry as a profitable industry and change careers after making money. Otherwise, how can they continue to make such bad dramas? This is what you said above.
Just pick up the drama, get familiar with it, and do various variety shows. To be honest, this kind of stuff is just for making quick money.
There is another kind, that is, you have been involved in the drama circle for decades, and finally it suddenly became popular, but the audience is limited. After all, you are at that age, your acting career is narrow, you have acting skills, but there are too many restrictions.
As for what your teacher said about following a big crew, following a big director, and not filming until you wait, this is even more ridiculous. If you film with a big director, you will definitely become famous? Why do people want you?
What is more suitable for you is to start with street performances. In fact, you are not lacking in drama stages. What you learned was trained by someone before. You have probably participated in drama performances in recent years.
What you lack is a kind of life experience and a sense of bottom-level experience. You can sing on the street, set up a street stall, and do part-time work. You just observe and experience, and then take the time to audition. There are standards for auditions. You don't want to go to the TV drama crew.
, only choose movie crews, and as for scripts, you only choose the ones that suit you for the interview.
What does it mean to suit you? To put it bluntly, characters that you feel are very similar to you seem to be written about your life, such as art school students, wealthy daughters, etc. It is easiest for you to perform these types of characters.
Because it means you are acting yourself, and the requirements for acting skills are not so high, so don’t rush to make a breakthrough yet.
After the performance is over, you continue to experience life. In the next film, you are trying a role in the industry you have experienced. This is a breakthrough, which makes the audience think that you can play the daughter of a rich family, or you can also play a street singer.
of.
Once you have two roles, you won’t be in a hurry to take on the role. There are more celebrities in movies than TV dramas and singers. Then the crew will come to you. Most of the scripts given to you are good.
, knowing that you don’t accept bad dramas, then your future drama options will be wider.
You are still young, so take shortcuts if you can. Your shortcut is time-consuming, so don't worry, settle down first, and once the two dramas are stabilized, you will be busy later."
Liu Bingbing seemed to understand what Zhao Mingyang meant. She set a position for herself and took the high-quality route, but in fact she was taking shortcuts and not breaking through. She first acted in her comfort zone and used this spare time to make up for her lack of bottom-level training.
After the roles in the comfort zone are released, the audience feels that it is a big breakthrough after transitioning to acting in a profession that they have experienced. In fact, they are still in their comfort zones. It is just that laymen and people who do not understand their own steps think that they are acting.
The faction, the powerful faction, to put it bluntly, is a deception.
After that, many scripts came to the market. Many people felt that only the talented actors could handle this drama. There were not many talented young actors, so Liu Bingbing’s acting options would be wider. By then, Liu Bingbing would be choosing scripts so that she could pretend to be a newbie.
A seasoned actor with strength and acting skills.
When the time comes, everyone will find out that Liu Bingbing is so young, and they will be looking for her in youth dramas, period dramas, idol dramas, palace dramas, etc., and she only accepts movies. Although the output is small, as long as she is given enough time to hone her acting skills
, as long as her level is online, her status will always be on the front line.
Movies have short scenes and require acting skills, but one thing is better than TV dramas, that is, there are fewer flaws. TV dramas have too many episodes. No matter how good the script is, it is impossible to keep every episode a highlight, and there is also audience fatigue. No matter how good it is,
All actors have their flaws.
Every minute of a movie can be a highlight, and it can highlight the acting skills of actors in a limited time. This is why many big names in the TV industry have to give up TV series and join the film industry, in order to maintain the longevity of acting for a longer time.
.
The premise is that these are talents who have made money to try to transform and wait. Without money, they can only take on everything for the purpose of making money. And Liu Bingbing is not short of money, so she can take this shortcut ten or twenty years in advance.
This is the advantage of money. If you don't have to worry about five buckets of rice, you can use the time that others have to sacrifice for five buckets of rice to do more things.
"I understand your thinking, but I will replenish your birthday gift for you." Liu Bingbing glanced at Zhao Mingyang. She was thinking about giving Zhao Mingyang a watch worth hundreds of thousands of yuan or a set of clothes worth tens of thousands of yuan.
But giving these to Zhao Mingyang, Zhao Mingyang might not want it, and he might not like it. Liu Bingbing thought about it, and suddenly thought of a way that could not only take into account Zhao Mingyang's face, but also make Zhao Mingyang accept it.
"Well, I have many brands of membership cards with points that can be redeemed for goods. I usually don't use them. If you need them, you can use them to redeem them. Don't think too much about it. I have no intention of giving you anything you don't want.
, but the points don’t have to expire soon, I don’t have what I need for the time being, you, you, you~ if you need it...”
Zhao Mingyang saw that Liu Bingbing didn't know how to express it. Zhao Mingyang understood what she meant. Zhao Mingyang said: "I understand. It really feels like a loss if you don't exchange it. I will exchange it for you. If there is something suitable, I will keep it. Are you full?"
"After you have eaten, I will tell them your mobile phone number and WeChat ID, and you can use your points to redeem gifts." Liu Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know how to express it. She thought of it in her mind, but
I can't express it with my mouth.
Zhao Mingyang received membership points from several brands from Xu Qingqing, including Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, etc., as well as shopping membership cards for some high-end shopping malls.
The reason why Hermès is called top luxury goods is that it is different from other luxury goods members.
Ordinary members of ordinary luxury stores can spend 100,000 yuan per year, while super members can spend 1 million yuan per year. Members can enjoy points gifts and watch new brand fashion shows, and have priority in selecting brand new products and buying them first.
An ordinary member of Hermès spends 1 million a year, and a super member spends 10 million a year.
Super members can enjoy the privilege of shopping and clearing the store. You can see why Zhilin complains that her wife always buys LV Hermès bags. In order to remain a member, you have to spend at least 1 million every year.
Membership is a one-year payment, that is, you must spend the minimum amount of membership every year to become a member. This is the same for other luxury goods companies. There is no lifetime membership, only one payment per year.
Generally, these luxury goods will regularly remind customers to pick up exquisite gifts, or deliver them to customers' homes. This is to remind customers that it's time for them to come and spend.
These points can only be redeemed for wallets, backpacks, belts and other peripherals. If you look at the prices of individual products in their store, for example, the Hermès wallet they give away is priced at 4,000 to 5,000.
It was previously said on the Internet that a short-sleeved piece of luxury clothing costs RMB 4,000 to 5,000. Does it cost 2,000 to 3,000? In fact, no, because these brands have their own production lines, printing, and fabric cutting. The high cost lies in publicity and store rent.
superior.
Basically, all luxury cars only open flagship stores, and they are all in first-tier cities. They are also the absolute commercial center areas of first-tier cities, where rents are highest. In addition to annual promotion fees, all of this money is added to single products.
.
Someone has previously calculated the profit margin of a piece of clothing at 150 times. Excluding rent, operating expenses and worker wages, you can still earn a hundred times. This is why the founders of several major luxury goods companies are always on the rich list.
dog.
Celebrities are all running their own fashion brands, which is nothing more than high profit margins.
Zhao Mingyang took the card holder Liu Bingbing gave her, glanced at Liu Bingbing and said: "I took your gift, and I will give you something as well. This thing has been with me for many years. It was given to me by my grandfather when I was a child. I hope
It brings you good luck, I am carrying it smoothly, I hope it can also bring you good luck."
Zhao Mingyang took off the jade from his neck that was bargained from 1288 to 500 in a jade shop in Suzhou this morning. If it weren't for time, Zhao Mingyang thought he could still get 200. At this time, the jade pendant was already
The lucky jade that has followed him for many years.
You see, as long as a product has a story, it is an invaluable product.
"Isn't this good? It's too expensive for you." Liu Bingbing said quickly.
"If you don't accept this, I won't accept your gift. Don't worry, the fortune teller said that I will always have good luck. Just accept it, otherwise I won't accept your expensive gift.
"
Liu Bingbing agreed to Zhao Mingyang and accepted his good-luck jade pendant. Zhao Mingyang and Liu Bingbing walked around after dinner and sent her back. Watching Liu Bingbing go upstairs, Zhao Mingyang took out another good-luck jade pendant from his pocket.
It's on my neck. What can I exchange for this next time I give it to Xu Qingqing?
I almost forgot. I bought three of these jade pendants for 500 yuan, and I still have one in my pocket. Next time I go to that jade shop in Sioux City that charges ridiculous prices to try to do some wholesale, and buy twenty or thirty pieces for my home.
As for jade, it really depends on what the person chooses. Unlike gold, which has a fixed price, gold is valuable and jade is priceless. It would be best to add a story and give it to a girl.
After checking the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and I hurried to the hotel Gu Man had booked.
First, he needs to catch up on some sleep. In the evening, Gu Man and Zhao Mingyang are going to do some shady things.
