After a cup of coffee, Zheng Chuangshi feels very energetic.
"Mr. Shi, I wonder what you want to see me for?"
Shi Zhijian smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out the cigarette box, knocked it in his hand, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Do you want to eat cigarettes?"
"No, thank you!"
Shi Zhijian lit a cigarette and bit it in his mouth, then raised his head and said to Zheng Chuangshi: "I told you when we first met that I am very optimistic about you and think you have the potential to become a star, so I want to let you
You become the spokesperson of our instant noodle brand!”
"Huh?" Zheng Chuangshi was surprised.
Hu Juncai also looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise.
He never expected that Shi Zhijian would want to talk about this after waiting for so long. The problem is that this Zheng Chuangshi is basically a newcomer to Shaw Brothers who doesn't even have a star. Wouldn't it be a suicide to let him be the spokesperson?!
"What, are you surprised?" Shi Zhijian held a cigarette between his fingers and blew out the smoke casually.
"Yes, Mr. Shi! I am indeed surprised! You know, I'm just a newcomer——"
"Just because you are a newcomer, I like you more!" Shi Zhijian interrupted him, "New talents have more development prospects! Especially since you have a handsome appearance and bright eyes, you will develop sooner or later!"
Zheng Chuangshi was so excited by Shi Zhijian's words that even his own father had never recognized him like this.
"Mr. Shi, what you said really made me..."
"Don't say anything, I'm optimistic about you!" Shi Zhijian said firmly, "Now, it's up to you, are you willing to be my spokesperson?"
Zheng Chuangshi was so excited that he was about to agree. Fortunately, he was an adult when his words turned into: "But I don't know what conditions Mr. Shi gave me?"
"What terms do you want?"
"I know that...you have to charge endorsement fees for being a spokesperson, calculated on an annual basis."
"Don't worry!" Shi Zhijian flicked the ash into the ashtray rhythmically, "I have considered this, how much do you want?"
"This-----" Zheng Chuangshi has never encountered such a thing in his life, what a ghost!
"How much can you give?"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "This is the number!" He held out a finger.
"Ten thousand?"
"one thousand!"
Hu Juncai next to him almost spit out the coffee he drank, so cruel!
"Why, you don't want to?!" Shi Zhijian asked.
"No, Mr. Shi, although I'm a newcomer, I'm not that cheap. I can get three thousand for a movie!"
"You earn RMB 3,000 per movie, and RMB 1,000 per year to be my brand spokesperson. It's very reasonable!"
"But----"
Seeing Zheng Chuangshi's hesitant expression, Shi Zhijian suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If you are still not satisfied, why not do this - one hundred thousand!"
"Huh?" Zheng Chuangshi was shocked.
It was pitifully small just now, but now it is frighteningly tall.
"One hundred thousand! I'll sign you for twenty years!" Shi Zhijian's expression was struggling, as if he was making a huge decision.
Hu Juncai next to him was directly shocked by Shi Zhijian's generosity!
100,000 yuan! Sign a new person to be the spokesperson? Repay the endorsement for 20 years? Is there any mistake?!
What if he rushes into the street?
What if he never becomes popular?
What if he quits the film industry?
Hu Juncai racked his brains and couldn't figure out how a smart person like Shi Zhijian could make such a low-level mistake!
"Phew!" Zheng Chuangshi took a deep breath.
One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!
This is a huge amount of money in this era, and for Zheng Chuangshi, a newcomer in the film industry, it is an astronomical figure.
You know, his highest salary for a leading role is only RMB 3,000. Even if he shoots more than 30 movies without eating or drinking, he can earn RMB 100,000!
After another calculation, this is equal to 5,000 yuan in endorsement fees per year, which is very cost-effective! No, it is a huge advantage!
Who is Shi Zhijian? One look at Zheng Chuangshi's expression and you can tell what he is thinking.
"Actually, the price I'm offering is already the limit. My factory has just been opened. It's very difficult to pay 100,000 yuan at a time. If you don't want to, I won't force you!"
Shi Zhijian's retreat made Zheng Chuangshi anxious, "No, I do!"
"Oh, really? That's good! Lawyer Hu, draw up the contract!"
Hu Juncai was stunned. Are you serious?
However, Shi Zhijian directly took out his check book and signed a large check of 100,000 and handed it to Zheng Chuangshi.
Just as Zheng Chuangshi was about to reach out to pick it up, Shi Zhijian said: "But there is something I need to say first. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay ten times the liquidated damages!"
"Well?"
Ten times the liquidated damages, isn’t that one million?
Zheng Chuangshi looked stunned.
"Now, do you still want these 100,000?" Shi Zhijian looked at Zheng Chuangshi with burning eyes.
Zheng Chuangshi gritted his teeth and took it.
"Okay! Have fun!"
Shi Zhijian sat down again and crushed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray.
"So now, we can talk about literature and life!"
…
Zheng Chuangshi's life was full of ups and downs.
His original name was Huang Kezhong, and he was born in a high-tech family, and his father was a professor. However, Professor Huang was a manly and elegant person. In addition to supporting his family, he preferred to be a lover of warblers and swallows.
My mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she filed for divorce.
Later, her mother remarried a man named Zheng, and her son Huang Kezhong also changed his name to Zheng Chuangshi.
Zheng Chuangshi spent his childhood taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. Although his biological father was a cultural man, Zheng Chuangshi had no time to study. The whole family needed him to take care of him. He had no time to study, but Zheng Chuangshi loved performing.
This year he participated in the Hong Kong Flower Capital Competition and won the favor of the film company. At the same time, he began to play the leading role in the filming of his first movie "Black Star".
Recently, the black-faced director thought his name was rather vulgar and planned to change his name.
His new name is----
Zheng Shaoqiu!
…
Buying out Zheng Shaoqiu's instant noodle endorsement fee of 100,000 yuan for twenty years is a big deal for Shi Zhijian. After all, he dares to sign such a newcomer, which is unique!
But Shi Zhijian knows that Qiu Guan will become a god-like existence in the film and television circles in the future. Especially after he stars in "Chu Liuxiang", he will become popular throughout Southeast Asia! Even in places where there are Chinese people in the world, there will be
Know him as "Chu Liuxiang"!
Twenty years is neither long nor short.
If Zheng Shaoqiu can stick to his promise and advance and retreat together with the brand founded by Shi Zhijian, then a new endorsement myth will be created!
If he couldn't, Shi Zhijian wouldn't force it. It is estimated that Zheng Shaoqiu would have become famous by then, and it would be easy to compensate him one million yuan.
For Shi Zhijian, this business is a sure profit!
…
Now----
Shi Zhijian bought out "One-Armed Sword" for 200,000!
Signed Zheng Shaoqiu for 100,000!
The original 800,000 in cash, only 500,000 is left!
At this time, the instant noodle factory's advertising and brand endorsements were all taken care of, and all that was needed was a good manager.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian thought of Liu Jianxiong——
