It was at this time that Cai Yinong came to Lu Yan's company.
At this moment, Meituan is already a key enterprise supported by Jinling City. The office location has also been changed to a building near Xinjiekou. There are two floors of office area, which looks much more grand than before.
I called in advance and was led into Lu Yan's office by the front desk within the agreed time.
"Sit down, Mr. Cai, what would you like to drink, coffee or tea?"
“Coffee is just fine!”
Lu Yan asked his assistant to bring him a cup of coffee, and then said, "Mr. Cai came here despite his busy schedule. Does he have something to ask me for?"
Cai Yinun was a little dumbfounded, and said in her heart: "We all know that you have a good memory and can remember other people's lines, but now you are pretending to be confused with me!"
But he said: "Of course something has happened. The song "Not a Hero" you sang on the show before was quite good. Hu Ge wants to sing it!"
Lu Yan smiled: "Oh, then he can sing it!"
He really didn't take this song seriously, because the song only seemed to complement the video clip of the male god in ancient costume. If he just listened to the music without looking at the picture, the feeling would be quite different.
Just like what "Qiao Da Jin" said when talking about the poems in "Dream of Red Mansions" in "Xiao Shuo", those poems are like water plants and are just right to be placed in the novel.
But if you take it out alone, it's like taking the waterweed out of the water and turning it into a handful of dry grass, with nothing to look at.
However, Cai Yinong didn't want to owe this favor, so he had to clear the money and goods, and said: "Every line has its own rules, how can I get a song from you for nothing? How about two hundred thousand?"
Lu Yan thought for a while and decided not to bargain with her, and said, "Okay then!"
Cai Yinong immediately took out two pre-prepared contracts from his bag and placed them on the table.
Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Cai is here well prepared!"
Cai Yinong smiled lightly. Tang Ren Company only had Hu Ge as its signature, but he could not be allowed to accept other people's affection easily, especially a financial backer like Lu Yan who was not short of money.
Seeing that Lu Yan had signed the contract, she felt relieved.
He smiled and said: "Give me a bank card and I will transfer the money to you!"
Lu Yan didn't show any pretense and went to the bank and soon received a transfer of 200,000 yuan.
Then he said: "Mr. Cai has come all the way, so I have to do my part as a landlord!"
Cai Yi laughed: "That's natural. If I don't get back half of the two hundred thousand, I'll get back a third of it!"
Lu Yan laughed, and immediately called Ruan Xiaoxiao, called her over, and made a reservation at "Tan's Cuisine".
Cai Yinong met Ruan Xiaoxiao for the first time. She looked quite surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu's girlfriend to be so good-looking. She is prettier than many A-list celebrities!"
Ruan Xiaoxiao was very happy to be praised, and she said humbly: "Mr. Cai deserves the praise!"
Lu Yan said: "When many celebrities are not famous, they are better than ordinary people. In terms of appearance alone, they may not be as good as my Xiaoxiao!"
Cai Yinun couldn't help laughing: "You are really good at coaxing people!"
When the three of them sat together, they naturally talked about the company and the entertainment industry.
Cai Yinong probably felt a little distressed about the 200,000 yuan spent just now. After all, the average song only costs 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Only the works of particularly famous songwriters can be sold at such high prices.
So he said: "By the way, Mr. Lu, you only have Yang Mi as the spokesperson of Meituan. Isn't it a bit monotonous? It just so happens that "Sword and Sword III" is about to be broadcast. Do you want Hu Ge to join in with her?
Let’s make a couple!”
But they say that when celebrities make money, remuneration is only part of it, while advertising and endorsements are a very important part.
Like Lao Hu later, his advertising and endorsement fees alone amounted to more than 200 million a year, so how much money did he make for Tang Ren Film and Television?
In addition to helping celebrities find film and television resources, the company's main business is also competing for advertising endorsements!
Although Meituan has not been aggressive enough in advertising in the past two years, it is famous after all, with a valuation of 900 million US dollars and the largest market share in the country. Getting this endorsement does not reduce Hu Ge's worth.
Lu Yan smiled and said: "That's a good thing, but if you charge too much for the endorsement fee, I won't be able to afford it!"
Cai Yi muttered: "Mr. Lu is too humble. Who doesn't know that your company has raised 180 million US dollars in Series A, more than one billion RMB. Several million in endorsement fees, that's not even a drop of money!"
Lu Yan said earnestly: "When running a business, no matter how long it takes, you must not be arrogant. Especially when you have money in your account, you must be careful and careful. Like the previous Thousand Regiments War, it was not Meituan that defeated the opponent, but the consumption of money."
Dead rivals. Those companies did not care about the financing they received, and advertised like crazy. When the financial turmoil broke, the capital chain was broken, and they were dumbfounded!
In this life, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable. No one knows whether tomorrow or the accident will come first! So when it comes to advertising, you still have to be careful!"
Cai Yinong was stunned when he heard this, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Mr. Lu is so eloquent. I have been in business for many years, and I didn't expect to learn from you. Come on, let me toast you!"
Lu Yan also picked up the cup, and they each took a sip.
Putting the cup down, Cai Yinong stopped mentioning the endorsement.
Being busy is not a business, and her Tang Ren Pictures is not very short of money. Since Boss Lu doesn't seem to spend a lot of money on advertising, she can't bring it up.
Even if it is a friendly price, there is a bottom line. You can't be like Yang Mi, who only pays 800,000 a year!
Furthermore, she has a gambling mentality and feels that "Sword and Sword III" has a high probability of becoming a hit.
By then, Hu Ge's endorsement fees will continue to rise. By then, if Lu Yan wants to sign, the fee will not be what it is today.
Thinking of this, I actually feel a little proud. Even if you can start from scratch and get a valuation of 900 million US dollars, the situation is still a bit bad! Can't you see it?
After dinner, Cai Yinong left without mentioning anything.
The two strolled towards the building where the company is located. Ruan Xiaoxiao said: ""Sword of Sword III" will be broadcast soon. Hu Ge and Yang Mi are a couple in it. If Hu Ge is invited to speak for him together at this time, the effect will be
Will it be good?"
"It shouldn't be bad!"
"Then why don't you sign it? Are you afraid that you won't be able to negotiate the price? How about I help you ask?"
Lu Yan shook his head slightly, "It's not that I'm afraid of bargaining, but I think it's not good to always change spokespersons!"
"Always change? Are you saying that after hiring Hu Ge, you will replace him with someone else? Who is it?"
Immediately his eyes lit up with a look of surprise, and his mouth opened slightly. He pressed his right hand gently to his lips and exclaimed: "It can't be, is it you?"
Lu Yan saw that she looked cute and cute, so he couldn't help but rub her head and said with a smile: "Ah, have you become smarter?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "I'm already very smart, okay? I was just too lazy to use my brain before!"
Then he added: "Are you sure you will win the World Athletics Championships?"
