Chapter 152 Make money to help you open a restaurant chain (Supplement 2)
After successfully receiving his first endorsement with an endorsement fee of 5 million, Li Youqing's commercial value has increased to another level in the industry.
Many brands that originally planned to hire her as an endorsement backed down after seeing this price. For many brands, the five million endorsement fee was no longer in line with the reputation of the spokesperson, and insisting on signing her would only be a loss-making deal.
Only a small number of brands believe that commercial value represents the potential of the artist to some extent, so they still contact them to discuss cooperation.
Throughout August, Yihe Film and Television Entertainment has been busy working on the endorsement of this company's top lady.
This is also the second time that the company has entered a tense and busy state this year after the failure of Li Youqing's first album.
Speaking of which, Yihe Film and Television Entertainment is also miserable. Even though it has signed a contract with a relatively popular female artist, in fact, apart from Li Youqing, the entire company cannot find another artist who can take the leading role.
Regarding this matter, Li Shushuang had discussed this matter with his boss Jiang Bei several times, but the reply he received was that Manager Li could make decisions on the company's operations alone without asking him for instructions.
It's a good thing if the boss is willing to delegate power, but the key point is that delegation is useless. You have to give him some work!
How can a company make money without a production, and how can it recruit more elite artists?
But the boss seemed to have completely forgotten his identity as 'Muxia', and never mentioned the work again. He didn't even write a song for his wife's first album, which really made Li Shushu couldn't think of anything.
Its solution.
Under this situation, coupled with the company's losses in making albums, he did not dare to expand Yihe too much. As a result, the number of artists in Yihe currently remains the same as it was at the beginning of the year, with no change.
Of course, the reputation of the artist can still be improved by relying on the reputation gained from last year's "The Voice of China", which has allowed the company to enter a profitable situation.
In the first half of the year, Yihe Film and Television Entertainment’s revenue was 7.6 million.
Expenditure 5.2 million.
Net profit is 1.4 million.
Although 1.4 million is a small amount, it is a net profit. You can still be wealthy while maintaining the company's operations, which means that the company's development momentum is good.
And this does not include the profits generated by the company's first sister, Li Youqing.
In the first half of the year, the first sister Li Youqing brought revenue of 4 million to Yihe Film and Television Entertainment.
The company spent 5 million investing in her.
In the final analysis, this lady from Yihe Film and Television Entertainment not only failed to create profits for the company in the first half of the year, but she actually caused the company to lose a full one million yuan because of her.
Looking at the root cause, the first album "" ended in a disastrous failure, and the huge early investment failed to get a return.
In addition, Li Youqing did not receive any announcements, endorsements, or film and television dramas in the first half of the year, which resulted in the commercial value not being reflected at all.
Li Youqing herself knew this very well. Even though no one in the company, from managers to employees, dared to point it out, she still felt guilty because of her kindness, so in addition to endorsing Canadian Canadian Clothing this time, she
She also specifically asked the company to help her receive more announcements to increase her exposure while helping the company make profits.
Li Shushuang was overjoyed when he heard the news. He didn't dare to help Youyou answer the notice before because he was concerned about the identity of the boss's wife. Now that the boss's wife took the initiative, he naturally didn't need to think too much and started contacting resources immediately.
After all, "The Wandering Blue" has just been finished. As the heroine participating in this movie, Li Youqing's popularity remains very high, so it is basically very easy for her to accept activities and announcements.
In fact, this was true in the beginning.
Contact one company to agree.
But within a few days the tide changed.
“Manager, the program team of ‘Very Meter Distance’ called and said that the theme of their next episode has temporarily changed and they will need to change guests, so they can no longer cooperate with us.”
"Manager, the program team of 'Love Laughter Conference Room' also called to inform them that they would be producing a 'FHM theme' in the next episode, so..."
"manager……"
Several production companies that we had originally negotiated with seemed to have reached an agreement, and they called almost at the same time to cancel the previously negotiated cooperation.
Not only that, even some business activities are the same.
For example, the opening of a certain property market, a party, etc. are exactly the same as the previous program announcements. They all agreed first and then regretted it within a few days.
"If the next issue doesn't work, then the next issue will be held. If this event is cancelled, then we will contact other events."
This was Li Shushu's idea at the beginning. Anyway, Li Youqing's popularity is here now, so she is not afraid that there will be no activities, so she can be invited to the show.
But it turned out that Li Shushu was still too naive. As long as the cooperation was negotiated, he would receive a call from the other party to cancel the cooperation within three days.
The reasons are endless, but the result is the same.
"Go and find out what the reason is."
The strange scene made Li Shushuang, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, aware of the problem. After several days of investigation, he hurriedly found Li Youqing and Jiang Bei for discussion.
"Sister Youyou, have you offended any big shots in the entertainment industry recently?"
"No?" Li Youqing said she was very innocent. She has been studying diligently recently and filming Canadian Canadian men's clothing ads. She has no time to offend big shots.
"What happened?"
Agent Jiang Bei 'realized the problem' and asked with a heavy face.
Li Shushu nodded when he heard this and said: "Some commercial activities and announcements that the company contacted Young Young Sister some time ago were inexplicably canceled in the end. I suspect that someone is causing trouble behind the scenes."
"Has anyone investigated the specific reason?" Li Youqing asked with a frown.
She really entered the entertainment industry and is well-known to everyone only from last year's "The Camera Don't Stop". It only lasted a little more than a year, and everything was smooth sailing in the middle without anyone making things difficult. Logically speaking, it is impossible.
Someone is targeting her.
"Yes, the result is that all your activities have been replaced by artists from a company called Erjing Film and Television, and there is an artist among them who has a certain relationship with you. She is Guan Chengya." Li Shushuang said.
"Guan Chengya." Li Youqing murmured these three words thoughtfully. She knew this artist. She had a past when they competed for the Chinese Film Award last year, and they even competed against each other later.
.
But speaking of it, they have never met each other, so it shouldn't be considered a grudge, right?
And she had never even heard of Erjing Film and Television.
"Is there any way to solve it?" the manager Jiang Bei on the side asked with concern.
His current identity is that of a 'traitor'. As a 'qualified traitor', he must do what he should do and help his wife find a solution to the problem.
Li Shushuang looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said after hesitation: "The registered capital of Erjing Group is as high as 500 million. Although it was only established a month ago, it has already opened up some relationships in the circle with its strong financial resources. Unless we can come up with more
You have to use the money for public relations, otherwise it will be difficult to compete with it.”
To put it bluntly, the Erjing Group is spending money to grab resources and activities.
The method is simple and crude, but extremely effective.
After all, in the entertainment industry these days, only those who have money are the boss.
Compared with this upstart with a registered capital of 500 million, Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, which has been established for nearly three years, seems a bit underwhelming.
Li Youqing also understands this. She actually cares about activities and announcements.
Because she wants to help the company make profits, realize her own value, and earn more money for herself.
As a result, now all the activities and programs have been taken away by others, and it is impossible not to feel aggrieved. Therefore, after learning that there is no other way, Xiao Nizi is completely wilted.
"Beibei, it's clear that I haven't offended anyone, so why would someone come to trouble me?"
At the dinner table, Li Youqing fiddled with the rice in the bowl and asked listlessly.
"Because everyone is jealous." Jiang Bei took a bite of the ribs and replied.
Um.
Today's ribs are a bit sweet.
"Why are you jealous of me?"
Xiao Nizi looked puzzled. She was just a rising star in traffic now, and her acting skills had not even been truly recognized. Why was she jealous of her?
"Maybe I'm jealous that you married a good husband." Zhang Jiuliang, the gambling king, interjected while tugging at the rice.
This is what I said.
It's simply delightful.
"Come on, don't just eat rice, eat a piece of ribs." Jiang Bei happily picked up a piece of ribs and put it into a cold bowl.
"I'm about to lose my job, and you guys are still in the mood to joke around here." Li Youqing looked at the brother and sister angrily, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"That's it, Liangliang, be more serious and help your sister-in-law think of a way to solve this problem."
When his wife is angry, Jiangbei will naturally pretend to be on her side.
"There is a way? Of course there is a way. After dinner, I will go to Taobao to buy two kilograms of bombs. I will carry the bombs and blow up Erjing Film and Television early tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Liangliang gnawed on the ribs and talked nonsense seriously.
Li Youqing rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to take away the rice grains from the corner of Liang Liang's mouth, and said viciously: "I know how good my mouth is all day long. I really hope that school will start early and I can send you to school so that I don't have to worry about being here all day long."
Liangliang's problem of going to college has been solved and she will spend the next four years at Meilin University in Azure City.
This university is also the school where Li Youqing graduated from, so they can be regarded as fellow students.
As a transfer student, Liang Liang was able to enter this group of universities because Li Qiangguo made a lot of efforts in it, because this painting master is an honorary professor at Merrill Lynch University.
With him around, some seemingly difficult problems can be easily solved.
"Actually, this is the most direct and effective way. If you think I'm talking nonsense, I'm helpless!"
Liangliang shrugged and continued to chew the ribs helplessly.
"Take your time, you have good resources now, they can't take them all away." Jiang Bei put aside his teasing appropriately and consoled him.
"But they took my money!"
Li Youqing got angry when he said this. So many resources were taken away, and the lost profits were as high as millions. No one could accept it.
"Our family is not short of money right now." Jiang Bei put a piece of ribs into his wife's bowl and said.
There is indeed no shortage of money. Even after excluding the 500 million from the Erjing Group, he still has more than 200 million in hand, which is enough for his family to live comfortably for a lifetime without working.
"What do you do with so much money? Are you using it to help the gambling king of Ancheng to make a comeback?" Liang Liang's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly.
"What a beautiful idea." Li Youqing glared at her, then looked at Jiangbei and said, "Don't you want to open a restaurant chain? I want to make some more money now, so I can use it to help you later."
