Chapter 189 Two Lius
After the three of them sat down in the office, Liu Shishi got straight to the point and said frankly, "Lin Xia, I don't have too high expectations for the people around me. They just need to work hard and keep their mouths shut.
Next, you will study with Yuanyuan for a while, and she will gradually teach you my living habits. Also, you will go back to Beiping with us tomorrow, and I will take you to meet my husband first. "
Having said this, Liu Shishi paused for a moment, with a hint of tenderness and determination in her eyes.
"In our family, my husband makes the final decision on all major matters. If he has no objection to you after investigating you, I will basically not refuse you to be my assistant."
"Ah!" Lin Xia was stunned. She had never heard that the top actress in the company had a partner! How could she do a job as an artist assistant? The process was so complicated and required the consent of the celebrity's family.
However, Lin Xia quickly concealed the surprise on her face and did not dare to ask more questions. She just honestly agreed: "I will follow your arrangements, Senior Sister."
Liu Shishi nodded with satisfaction. She liked people who were well-behaved, sensible and able to adapt to the environment quickly.
"Your first task as an assistant is to book our tickets back to Peking tomorrow. If you have any questions, go ask Yuanyuan."
After that, she turned to her good sister and said, "Yuanyuan, Lin Xia will follow you first. You should teach her more and let her adapt to the work as soon as possible."
Jiang Yuanyuan patted her chest and assured, "Ok, Shishi! I'll take care of everything. Lin Xia, come with me, let's go to the next meeting room and talk slowly."
After watching the two people leave the office and gently closing the door, Liu Shishi could no longer contain her excitement and immediately took out her cell phone and dialed Song Ci's number.
Beep, beep, the phone was quickly connected, Miss Liu's mouth curled up again, her words full of joy: "Dear Mr. Song, I have good news for you..."
At this time, Song Ci was holding a meeting with several senior executives of the group in the conference room. After receiving the call from Liu Shishi, he stretched out his hand to signal Huang Sheng, the president of TD Game Platform, who was speaking, to pause.
Huang Sheng tactfully stopped reporting and took the opportunity to take a short break. He unscrewed the bottle of mineral water on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.
The people present at the meeting were all close confidants of Liu Shishi, so Song Ci did not deliberately avoid the content of the call and smiled gently, "What good news? Tell me about it."
Liu Shishi excitedly shared the news of getting the Dove endorsement with her boyfriend, her tone full of pride: "Am I really great, Mr. Song?"
Song Ci was slightly stunned, and then he was happy that Miss Liu had received her first brand endorsement in her life.
My little childhood sweetheart is about to take off completely. Once Long Kui is released in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", she will officially have a place in the entertainment industry.
I was filled with emotion and sincerely sent my blessing: "Congratulations, Master!"
Liu Shishi raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of arrogance: "That's right, I am no worse than anyone else.
Honey, I was actually quite surprised myself. I didn’t expect that “Because of Love” would be so popular on the Internet. I owe it to you!”
Song Ci responded gently: "It's not just because of this song. The key is your own hard work and accumulation. The brand chose you because of your image and unique charm."
As for Miss Liu, he has always been encouraging and supportive, and has been committed to cultivating her self-confidence. After all, a woman who is both successful and confident is the most beautiful.
"Yeah!" Hearing Mr. Song's words of approval, Liu Shishi felt warm in her heart and her mood became even better.
"I will be back to Peking tomorrow, dear."
"Then I'll ask Wang Shan to pick you up at the airport."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, dear." Before ending the call, Liu Shishi reminded him again with concern:
"Yi Yi, don't work yourself too hard. You should relax more and take good care of yourself when I'm not around."
When she is not at home, her husband sometimes works so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep, and does not take care of his health at all, which makes her very worried.
Song Ci responded with a smile: "Don't worry, my health is the capital of the revolution, I will take good care of myself. See you tomorrow, Shishi."
After hanging up the phone, Song Ci saw that everyone in the conference room was staring at him. He smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Mr. Huang, go on."
Before Huang Sheng could even open his mouth, Wang Jing on his right couldn't help but tease him, "Boss Song, there's good news. Tell everyone about it so they can share in the joy!"
Seeing that Song Ci had a smile on his face, no longer as serious as before, she guessed that he was in a good mood and it was okay for him to make a little joke.
"It's nothing big, it's just that Shishi has taken over the endorsement of Dove." Song Ci answered indifferently, but her joy could not be concealed between her brows.
Wang Jing continued to joke, "Congratulations to Sister Shi, I'll have to treat her to a meal when she returns to Peking."
Song Ci smiled and shook her head: "You girls should make the arrangements for this matter, I won't get involved."
Upon hearing this, several other people also offered their congratulations. The meeting room was filled with laughter and the atmosphere became relaxed.
After joking around, Zhang Yong clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, everyone, be quiet. When the meeting is over, we'll let the chairman treat us. Let's continue the meeting now."
The meeting place gradually became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on Huang Sheng again.
Huang Sheng sorted out his thoughts and continued to report: "Dear leaders, I just said that the international version of Happy Farm has been developed and can be launched at any time. As for the specific matters of the overseas launch, please give your instructions."
"Happy Farm" is in full swing in China and sweeping the entire Internet. The next step for Tenda Group is naturally to turn its attention to the broader overseas market.
The international version of "Happy Farm" is called "Happy FarmVille". It has been comprehensively updated and upgraded based on the initial domestic version. It not only optimizes the gaming experience, but also improves the playability and sustainability of the farm.
After listening to Huang Sheng's report, Zhang Yong took the lead in putting forward his own suggestions: "The essence of Happy Farm is a social game. It is estimated that it will be difficult to quickly occupy the overseas market relying solely on the power of the TD game platform.
Therefore, we need to find an Internet company that focuses on the social field as a partner to promote Happy FarmVille on a mutually beneficial basis, so as to maximize the spread of this game. "
Song Ci quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and made a decisive decision: "Let's launch the game first, spend more money on advertising, and even invite a few popular European and American celebrities to endorse and promote it.
Only when Happy FarmVille achieves certain results can we have the capital to negotiate with others.
Those foreigners are the type who won’t act until they see the rabbit. If we seek cooperation with social networking companies now, we won’t get favorable conditions for us, and we will just be making things easier for others.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yong made the decision to Huang Sheng: "Happy FarmVille will be launched overseas on the 1st of next month, and the domestic Happy Farm will be updated simultaneously."
Liu Yan at the side couldn't help but chuckle: "Our company has made big moves on the 1st for several months in a row.
Penguin's "QQ Farm" has just been online for a few days, and our "Happy Farm" is about to be updated. I guess the programmers at Penguin will curse again."
Zhang Yong adjusted the black glasses on his nose and smiled confidently:
"As long as we proceed steadily and implement the plan formulated by President Song step by step, the Weibo battle will probably be decided by the end of the year."
Song Ci nodded slightly, agreeing very much with Zhang Yong's opinion.
Only three months after its launch, Weibo has already demonstrated its ability to control and guide news and public opinion. Now everyone can see the huge influence of Weibo.
Today, Tenda Weibo has 38 million registered users, more than the total number of users of other Weibo accounts. As long as there are no internal problems, other companies will have no chance of catching up.
When the number of Weibo platform users grows to several hundred million, Tenda Group will become a new social giant and lead the era of traffic.
After the meeting, Huang Sheng returned to his office and called the publicity and promotion manager over.
After a while, Wu Jiajian, the manager of the publicity department, came in hurriedly. He knocked on the door, got permission, walked into the office, and asked nervously, "Mr. Huang, are you looking for me?"
Huang Sheng pointed to the chair in front of his desk and said, "Sit down and talk. Last time you told me that you were going to hire a spokesperson for the new game DDTank that will be launched soon. Is this settled?"
Wu Jiajian was a little surprised. Last time, Mr. Huang told him to just handle it, so why did he suddenly ask about this again today?
"It hasn't been decided yet, but our department has chosen Liu Yifei as the spokesperson. We have communicated with her agent several times, but we haven't yet reached an agreement on the endorsement fee."
"Liu Yifei? The actress who played Xiaolongnu!" Although Huang Sheng doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, he still has some impression of several first-line actresses in China.
Wu Jiajian nodded, "Yes, Mr. Huang. She is very popular and many young people like her. If we can invite her to endorse DDTank, it will definitely bring a lot of traffic to this game."
"How much does she want for endorsement?"
"Ten million in two years."
Huang Sheng's eyes widened as he heard this, his face full of disbelief, and his voice suddenly rose. "Ten million! Why doesn't she just go and rob it!"
He is a senior executive of Tengda Group and president of the gaming business department, but not counting options and dividends, his annual salary and performance bonus are less than 5 million.
Wu Jiajian smiled bitterly, "Mr. Huang, this is the price for a first-line celebrity endorsement. And Liu Yifei is about to have a movie released with Jacky Cheung and Jet Li. It's a big production co-produced with Hollywood. If the box office is good, the endorsement fee may increase."
"The price is increasing again?" Huang Sheng frowned nervously and no longer had any interest in listening.
Every game produced by Tenda is a hit, and the performance would not be bad even without a spokesperson. Hiring a spokesperson is just the icing on the cake.
So he made a prompt decision and directly arranged: "Immediately stop negotiating with Liu Yifei for the endorsement, the company will not hire her."
Wu Jiajian looked tangled: "This... Mr. Huang, this is not a good idea, right? We have almost finished talking to the other party."
Huang Sheng was furious. He slammed the table and asked harshly, "What's wrong with that? The contract hasn't been signed yet. We can't afford her. But why not ask her to be the spokesperson?"
The boss was angry, but Wu Jiajian didn't dare to contradict him and quickly responded: "I will notify the other party in a moment to cancel this endorsement cooperation."
Seeing that the CEO's anger had subsided a little, Wu Jiajian asked cautiously, "Boss Huang, does DDTank need a spokesperson?"
Huang Sheng glanced at his subordinates and replied as a matter of course: "We still have to hire a spokesperson."
"Then I'll find a few more popular stars for you to choose from."
Huang Sheng waved his hand and decided on the candidate directly: "Don't bother, I've already thought about it. DDTank invites Liu Shishi to be the spokesperson."
"Liu Shishi?" Wu Jiajian was stunned when he heard the words. His brain was working rapidly, trying to recall this somewhat familiar name.
Suddenly I recalled the hot searches on Weibo a few days ago. Isn’t Liu Shishi the female singer who sang "Because of Love"?
Wu Jiajian gritted his teeth and reminded hesitantly: “Boss Huang, this Liu Shishi is an artist who has just emerged recently.
Compared to Liu Yifei, she is far less famous. You should think twice. Even if you don’t choose Liu Yifei, there are many more suitable candidates. "
Huang Sheng's face was as cold as frost, and his tone was icy: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm not discussing with you. Just do what I have decided."
Wu Jiajian was intimidated by his boss's temperament and dared not say anything more. He quickly responded, "I understand, Mr. Huang. I'll do it right away."
"Also, don't say stupid things like Liu Shishi is not as good as so-and-so in the future. Watch your mouth, otherwise you will offend people without knowing it."
Wu Jiajian suddenly realized that Liu Shishi was the key to the problem. He secretly thought that he would have to check the situation of this girl and find out where she came from.
"Thank you Mr. Huang for your advice. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Huang Sheng nodded slightly, but then added another word of caution: "Go ahead, and remember to be nice when you invite people."
Just now, he had a flash of inspiration after hearing about Dove's endorsement at the meeting, and thought about trying to please the future chairman's wife.
However, he was somewhat worried about his subordinates' foolish behavior of speaking without thinking, so he gave them a few more warnings, hoping that they would do something bad with good intentions.
Wu Jiajian returned to the department and immediately called Xiao Jiang, the staff member who had been in charge of contacting Liu Yifei. "Immediately terminate the cooperation negotiations with Liu Yifei."
Xiao Jiang was puzzled: "Boss Wu, why? We are about to achieve results. If we give up now, all the previous negotiations will be wasted."
Wu Jiajian looked unhappy. He was scolded by Huang Sheng and had no place to vent his frustration: "Why so many whys! This is what Mr. Huang wanted. Just do it and don't ask so many nonsense questions."
Xiao Jiang hit a snag and didn't dare to ask any more questions: "Okay, Mr. Wu, I will contact Liu Yifei's agent and stop this endorsement cooperation."
"What's the matter!" Wu Jiajian looked at Xiao Jiang's hurriedly leaving back, sighed helplessly, turned into the office, and began to search for Liu Shishi's relevant information in detail on the Internet.
After some research, he realized that this female star had a complicated background and had close ties with Tengda Group.
Half of the works she has participated in since her debut were produced by Tengda Culture, and she played the leading female role in all of them. The relationship between them is self-evident.
Thinking about Huang Sheng's attitude towards Liu Shishi just now, Wu Jiajian finally realized the truth. It turned out that it was not that Liu Yifei's endorsement fee was too high, but that Liu Shishi was a relative of the president, and the president must be using this endorsement as a favor.
