Chapter 234 Another thing to compare in the entertainment industry
Yida Records.
"Okay, that's enough, everyone. Time is limited, let's stop here today."
Dong Chen observed Lin Zhixing's expression and saw that he was a little tired during the interview. The reporter's questions were getting more and more tricky, so he stepped forward to stop him.
Lin Zhixing understood, raised his hand to check the time, and said with a fist: "Everyone, we have been talking for 40 minutes. I still have work to do. If you have anything else to ask, let's talk tomorrow!"
Bold, friendly, humorous...
The reporters were still reluctant to interview, but considering that the time was really long, they didn't bother too much. They thanked Lin Zhixing repeatedly and waved goodbye.
"Goodbye!"
Dong Chen and Lin Zhixing got on the elevator together, and couldn't help but give advice: "Brother Lin, you are too honest, why do you answer everything truthfully! There will be more and more interviews in the future, and it's not okay to always tell the truth."
"Huh!"
Lin Zhixing shrugged his shoulders and said: "I made up a lie and stuttered. I think the question is okay, so I told it truthfully."
Dong Chen smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to make up a lie, just make the other party unable to choose."
Lin Zhixing frowned and complained: "You kid is crazy about playing games. You regard chatting as a skill. Why can't you choose?"
Dong Chen patted his chest and said: "You are like this, let me give you an example. You are a firefighter now, you can ask me questions at will."
"Oh..."
Lin Zhixing asked casually with doubt, "There is a gas leak at home, what number should you call?"
Dong Chen shrugged his shoulders, "My family doesn't use gas, I burn the stove."
? ? ?
Lin Zhixing frowned and continued to ask: "How do you usually go out? In the corridor..." Dong Chen raised his hand to interrupt: "I live in a bungalow." "Is there anything piled around the bungalow?" "There is firewood." "What should I pay attention to when piling firewood?" "Don't let it get wet in the rain, or it won't light up." "6!" Lin Zhixing suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up, saying: "I have mastered the trick of accepting interviews!" "Reporter: yes or no?" "Me: yoyo!" Dong Chen smiled and clapped his hands with Lin Zhixing, "Yes, yes, yes, the example is too vivid, that's it, it makes it impossible for reporters to choose a target." Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head. Good boy, your emotional intelligence is really good! ... The elevator stopped. The two walked out of the elevator, and Dong Chen chatted: "Brother Lin, the location of the next episode of "Singing Around the World" has been decided, it is on the Mengcheng grassland."
"That's great."
Lin Zhixing smiled and said: "I haven't been to the grassland yet, I really want to feel the vastness of the grassland."
"Me too."
As they chatted, Dong Chen suddenly remembered: "By the way, Brother Lin, I almost forgot, you go to Sister Hui's office now, she said that after you finish the interview, you should go to her."
"Okay."
Lin Zhixing just wanted to ask about the sale of copyrights, so he turned and walked towards the assistant's office.
Passing by the company's composition department...
"Wow, look, our company's song dad is here!"
"Last night's "The Orchestra's Midsummer" was so wonderful, knowing and doing are one, the only one who can beat me is myself, it makes my blood boil!"
"He is simply the king of kings, the man who stands at the top of Chinese soundtracks!"
The young people in the composition department saw Lin Zhixing passing by and were so excited that they stood up and waved respectfully.
"Brother Lin, good morning!"
"Brother Lin, you worked hard to bring honor to our company last night!"
"Brother Lin, do you have time? Can I take a photo with you?"
Lin Zhixing stopped and looked at these young people with dreams. He recalled his first time reporting to the composition department. There have been many changes.
"Okay, sure!"
...
Twenty minutes later.
Assistant's office.
"Come in!"
"Sister Hui, you're looking for me?"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Lin, come and sit down!"
Zhang Sihui waved enthusiastically, opened a box of desserts, opened a cup of milk tea and pushed it across the table, "Try it, you said it was delicious last time, I bought it for you this morning!"
"Wow!"
Lin Zhixing was not polite, picked up a piece of peach cake and took a big bite, and then took a sip of milk tea, "Sister Hui, you are so nice to me all of a sudden, I'm a little flattered..."
"Of course I have to be nice to you."
"Zhang Sihui smiled and asked with squinting eyes: Do you know what your status is in our Yida Records?"
Lin Zhixing shook his head, "Artist status?"
"You are the apple of our company's eye and the cash cow!"
Zhang Sihui raised her thumb and said: "Let me tell you this, with you alone, you are an artist of a medium-sized music company, and an artist of half a top-level music company!"
If he continued to praise, Lin Zhixing couldn't hold back the upward corners of his mouth. It was a bit like a king praising his subordinates "one person is worth a million soldiers".
"Sister Hui, stop talking..." Lin Zhixing blushed, "Let me correct you, most of them!" "Hahaha!" Zhang Sihui covered her mouth and laughed, "Xiao Lin, this speaking style is worthy of you. You're right, write a song and it will be popular. They are not as good as you when they are tied together!" Lin Zhixing originally planned to say one, but he was too shy. "But..."
Zhang Sihui changed the topic and said: "In fact, the influence of artists and the ability to attract money from entertainment companies are not only based on their works, but also their commercial value."
"Commercial value? For example?"
Although he is a time traveler, it is Lin Zhixing's first time working in a music company and he does not understand many things.
"Dai Dian, I called you here today mainly to talk to you about this matter."
Zhang Sihui picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to Lin Zhixing, "I was watching a short video just now. Please watch this video. If you don't understand after watching it, ask me again."
"good."
Lin Zhixing nodded and pressed the play button on the screen.
[Inventory of the top five luxury goods endorsements by domestic entertainment artists. Who is the top in terms of commercial value? Do you have one? 】
[Fifth place: Jiang Bin...]
Lin Zhixing didn't recognize this person, so he swiped the screen to skip.
[Fourth place: Super July M captain Guo Jiahe. It has three luxury product endorsements: Guerlain brand, Bulgari Asia Pacific spokesperson, and L'Oréal Paris brand spokesperson. 】
"???"
The familiar name Guo Jiahe made Lin Zhixing stop sliding his finger on the screen.
Domestic entertainment artists rank fourth in terms of number of luxury goods endorsements?
Is he so awesome?
Good guy, even if he doesn't sing anymore, he can live a lifetime of food and drink just by relying on endorsement fees, right?
Lin Zhixing was greatly shocked and turned up the volume on his mobile phone to see who the three artists were who surpassed Guo Jiahe.
[Third place: Liu Shiwen. Four luxury goods endorsements: Chanel, Omega, Prada Beauty, and Valentino. 】
[Second place: Li Bala. A darling of the fashion world. There are six luxury goods endorsements, including three for the Dior series, as well as global endorsements from Mibiki, Panerai and Clarins. The king of the post-90s generation! 】
[First place: Liu Xian. Among the top seven luxury goods endorsements, LV and Bulgari are both top luxury brands, as well as the United Arab Emirates’ image endorsement, one person represents a city. 】
The three celebrities ranked in front of Guo Jiahe are all female celebrities.
The person ranked first opened Lin Zhixing's eyes. It turns out that the country can represent him. He is so awesome!
Seeing that Lin Zhixing had finished watching the video, Zhang Sihui asked with a smile: "If you don't understand anything after watching it, you can ask me."
Lin Zhixing scratched his head and asked curiously: "Tell me about the hierarchy. I can't understand the global and brand names."
Zhang Sihui nodded and explained in detail: "Spokesperson\u003eBrand Ambassador\u003eBrand Friend\u003eBrand Friend."
"Regions are also divided, global spokesperson \u003e Asia Pacific spokesperson \u003e Chinese spokesperson."
"Also, the more expensive the products endorsed, the higher the level. Jewelry and ready-to-wear are of a higher level than beauty and skin care. In domestic entertainment, if there are spokespersons who endorse three or more luxury goods, they are very good."
After listening, Lin Zhixing understood.
Global spokespersons are the most powerful, and the more expensive the product, the more prestigious it is.
It seems that it hasn’t been three years since Guo Jiahe debuted, right? In such a short period of time, he was able to reach the fourth place in domestic entertainment and the first among male stars. It is really amazing!
Lin Zhixing suddenly remembered that he had also endorsed it, and asked curiously: "Sister Hui, how is the endorsement of my M-Zone card calculated? Is it valuable?"
Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, "This is just an endorsement of domestic products, it doesn't have much value."
Good guy, in terms of commercial value, I am completely crushed by Guo Jiahe!
"All right."
Lin Zhixing touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly and asked: "So about the endorsement you just mentioned, is there a brand that wants me to endorse it?"
"yes!"
Zhang Sihui's lips curled up and she said: "It's a huge foreign brand. Mercedes-Benz wants to invite you to be a global spokesperson. There is no inspection period. You will land directly and sign directly from the headquarters."
"ah?"
Lin Zhixing was a little confused after hearing this, and asked himself why?
"Is it because the song "See You Again" became a hit on YouTube? Is it because of this that they fell in love with me?"
"I'm not sure about this."
Zhang Sihui put her index finger on her red lips, raised her eyes and thought for a while, then guessed: "Maybe they are attracted by your current influence. You even composed the World Cup theme song, and many of the soundtracks are also very popular abroad... …”
"Who was the last global spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz and what did he do?"
Lin Zhixing wanted to judge their threshold for selecting people based on the previous appointment.
Zhang Sihui replied: "The last global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz was the Japanese actress Natsuki, who is a famous Japanese female movie star."
Natsuki? This name is so familiar...
Since anyone who acts in movies can be an actor, then as a singer I really have no problem.
【Ding! 】
[The scene has been triggered! 】
[Congratulations to the host for winning the songs "Drift" \u0026 "All the Way North"! 】
The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.
Two songs at once?
Lin Zhixing was a little flattered.
Both songs are from the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou, "Drift" is the theme song of the movie, and "All the Way North" is the episode of the movie.
The movie "Initial D" brought the car AE86 and the Akina Mountain Fire out of the circle.
Lin Zhixing once thought this car was very cool, but later he learned that the AE86 is the "Corolla" that is now dubbed the third aunt on the road by netizens.
A stands for engine, E stands for Corolla, 8 stands for the fifth generation, and 6 stands for 1.6L displacement. I have been fooled by the movie for a long time.
Although the song "Drift" is not very popular, it is Jay Chou's first electronic music song.
The song "All the Way North" is very popular.
Lin Zhixing liked this song very much.
Judging from the lyrics and overall tone, "All the Way North" is really JAY's saddest song.
The music started playing, as if they had just broken up, and they were riding a motorcycle in the wind and rain. Scenes of the two people's lives kept flashing in their minds...
"Xiao Lin, are you willing?"
"oh……"
Lin Zhixing's thoughts were interrupted by Zhang Sihui, who nodded and asked curiously: "As the highest-level global spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz, what remuneration will they give me?"
Zhang Sihui said: "You can choose any of our cars, plus an endorsement fee of 20 million yuan."
"I do."
After hearing this generous reward, Lin Zhixing nodded without hesitation, "As for the car, I choose the Mercedes-Benz Norma Dison Navigator. Sister Hui, please help me communicate!"
There is a car. This car is a RV, worth more than 13 million, weighing 23 tons, about the same weight as a tank. It is called Noah's Ark among cars.
Lin Zhixing thought it would be cool to drive this car to record the next grassland program of "Singing the World".
"Okay, leave it to me!"
…
…
The next morning.
Haiyun Records.
"Good morning, Jiahe!"
"morning!"
Guo Jiahe walked into his office with a fat-reducing meal in hand, turned on his computer, and browsed Weibo news while eating lunch.
Although the next episode of "I Am the King of Singer" is about "singing and dancing", which he is good at, he has not relaxed at all. He has been training extra hard in the past few days and has not been online.
The first message he received online made Guo Jiahe particularly happy.
[Peter Pan opens the box with 500 W. Because it’s you, it happens to be you. He said that he would strive to be the best. Today he did it! 】
The picture on Weibo is a photo of jewelry.
As a spokesperson, I never expected that as soon as a new product was officially announced, a rich woman would pay 5 million for it.
In the future, it will be just around the corner for me to become a man chased by luxury brands all over the world! When the time comes, there will be advertising spots all over your body, and you will earn a lot of money.
"Fuck!"
Guo Jiahe saw a piece of news about Lin Zhixing and almost spit out the chicken breast in his mouth.
"Out of ten, I'll give you an 8.8, and yours will be a 1.2 (a bit of a two)."
Although it is very strong to win the championship and runner-up of the show, it is a bit silly to claim to be first.
If you are the first to win, you will not lose if others lose, but if you lose to others, it will be too low!
"Dong dong dong..."
"Please come in!"
A middle-aged man walked in, smiled and congratulated: "Jiahe, the contract is signed. Congratulations on officially becoming the brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz!"
Guo Jiahe put down his chopsticks and patted the table excitedly, "It's not easy. After two years of testing, they are finally willing!"
"correct."
Guo Jiahe asked with a smile: "I heard that they are selecting a global spokesperson. Have you made the selection yet?"
The man nodded, "The selection has been made and everyone has been announced."
"Who?"
"Lin Zhixing."
"ah?"
Guo Jiahe's face was full of disbelief, and he frowned and asked: "How could it be him? Mercedes-Benz didn't give him a test period, so he just made an exception?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Okay, I understand, go out and close the door!"
Guo Jiahe feels like he has a splitting headache at the moment. He will attend an event with global spokespersons in a few days.
Is this good? His position is higher than his own?
