Chapter 598: Those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from flood will die of flood!
Chen Li nodded in understanding, but because this was her first time being involved in a brand endorsement after more than a year in the industry, she didn't know the ins and outs of it, so she asked Amy in confusion, "Sister Amy, is this a bit difficult?"
Amy and Paul exchanged a glance and said honestly, "It's definitely difficult, because the brand has a lot to consider. Although your momentum and development prospects are good, there are many competitors after all, and we're not 100% sure."
Sister Kuan patted Chen Li's hand. "Business negotiations are a game of chance. This is true with brands and competitors, but ultimately, it's all about mutual benefit. Judging by your current progress, the title of 'Brand Friend' is actually better than nothing. It won't significantly boost your career. You'll even be stuck in the corner at brand events, and the contract is for two years."
"The key consideration for them is that you've only been in the industry for a short time. Getting the MIUMIU ambassador title in just over a year is unprecedented in the entertainment industry."
Before Chen Li could respond, Bo Ge interrupted, "And now artists are increasingly focused on high-end endorsements, and the competition is getting tougher every year. If you can successfully secure this endorsement, Ah Li, I wonder how many people will envy you, and of course there will be plenty of jealous people too."
Chen Li smiled helplessly. There were already many people who were jealous of her. Every day, she would receive all kinds of insults and curses in her private messages on social media, but she had completely adapted to it and become immune to it.
"You two should do your best. We will not make any concessions on the endorsement status." Sister Kuan finally gave Amy and Paul the bottom line for the negotiation.
The two nodded in agreement, and understood what was going on.
After the two left, Shen Li asked Sister Kuan: "Sister Kuan, did you ask me to come here just because of the endorsement?"
"No, you need to come with me later. We have something important to do." Sister Kuan took down her coat from the hanger, but she didn't forget Brother Bo: "Don't you have something to do? Are you going to tell me now or wait for me to come back?"
Bo Ge chuckled and helped Sister Kuan open the glass door of the office: "Let's talk as we go. I'll take you there."
Sister Kuan smiled speechlessly and walked out with Ali in her hand.
Pogo quickly followed and whispered to Sister Kuan, "Sister Kuan, I heard the production team of 'Longing for Life' invited Ali to be a guest on the new season?"
Sister Kuan glanced at him and said, "Your news is seriously delayed."
"What do you mean?" Bo Ge was stunned.
Sister Kuan curled her lips and said, "The production team did contact the company team, but when they handed it to me, I directly rejected it."
"Huh? Why?" Bo Ge exclaimed in surprise. "This show is one of the most popular variety shows in the country. It recently went viral again because of the Chef Huang's poisonous beans meme. Wouldn't being on the show definitely increase their exposure?"
Bo Ge was a little confused. Ali was on the rise and had received many invitations, but Sister Kuan actually rejected such a good opportunity for exposure.
"You yourself said the beans were poisonous. I'm afraid our Ali will get food poisoning." Sister Kuan said half-jokingly.
The elevator arrived and several people got in together.
Pogo knew that Sister Kuan was joking. She and Chef Huang were also good friends, so she definitely wasn't worried about this kind of problem.
Sure enough, Sister Kuan paused before explaining seriously: "We, Ah Li, don't accept variety shows."
This was explicitly written into the contract when Ali was signed. Unless it was for the promotion of a new drama, which was negotiable, Ali would not appear on any other entertainment variety shows.
Ali herself really has no interest in these things.
Bogo looked at Ali in surprise, but she just gave him a faint smile.
Seeing this, Bo Ge could only sigh helplessly, and then he heard Sister Kuan ask him: "Is this what you are looking for me for? What does it have to do with you?"
Bo Ge looked embarrassed and said, "The company assigned me a few artists to bring. They are somewhat famous, but they are not very popular. I thought that if Ah Li were to appear on this show, could you help them negotiate and bring one of my artists on board? We are all from the same company, so if we can help each other, we should."
"I've only heard of veterans mentoring newcomers, never newcomers mentoring newcomers. Our Ah Li is still a newcomer, and now she's asking the other party to bring her own private goods to the show. Is she going to keep her reputation?" Sister Kuan retorted unhappily, "I think you've become stupid because of quitting drinking."
"I'm really at my wit's end, Sister Kuan. With so many artists emerging these days, resources are so tight. They can't get any acting gigs or appear on variety shows. Some have already gone to work at store openings in third-tier cities."
Chen Li was deeply touched when she saw how worried and distressed Bo Ge was for the artists.
Several artists who had achieved good results in the early days that he had brought up had terminated their contracts and started their own companies. The company saw that he had free time and ability, so they gave him several mediocre artists, hoping that he would replicate his previous success.
But the domestic entertainment environment has changed a lot. No matter how capable Bo Ge is, he is not omnipotent, and partners cannot always give him face when selecting people, so he is now a little overwhelmed.
But he couldn't bear to see these artists without any work, so he wanted to pounce on the opportunity as soon as he saw it.
I thought I could lean on Ali to drink some soup, but Sister Kuan directly rejected such a good opportunity.
Compared with his artists, they are really dying of drought or flood!
After exiting the elevator, Sister Kuan sighed with some regret. She stopped and looked at Brother Bo and said softly, "Don't be so tight. There will definitely be opportunities. If not this one, then another."
Bo Ge hung his head helplessly, and Chen Li beside him finally couldn't help but say: "Bo Ge, if there are other opportunities later, I will help your people fight for it."
Bo Ge looked up in shock when he heard this, and looked at Chen Li in disbelief: "Xiao Ali, are you serious?"
Chen Li smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, I think you are an extremely good agent, I am willing to help you."
If it were someone else, after experiencing the people they had trained terminate their contracts and start their own business, it would be difficult for them to be dedicated to their artists again.
But Bo Ge doesn't care at all, or if he cares about it, it will be over. He will still be responsible for the artists in his hands and try his best for them.
As an artist herself, Chen Li empathizes with the artist and believes that it is a blessing for all artists to have such an agent.
"Although I haven't come across many scripts yet, my sister has invested in a lot of film and television projects. When the time comes, please submit your artist's information and I'll help you put them in touch. But I can't guarantee the size of the role. In the end, it all depends on the needs of the crew and the artist's own conditions and abilities."
