Chapter 149 The landlord fled (the fourth update is online, please pre-order!)
Xia Yan's agent, Yang Hongxia, looked at the feedback data sent by Wangsheng, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Xia Yan on the other end of the phone: "The response to this song is good. As soon as it was released, a brand contacted me and wanted to buy the advertising rights of this version. By the way, I want to ask if you are interested in taking on an endorsement."
"Sister Xia, you can arrange it yourself. Just don't fill your schedule too full." Xia Yan didn't care. One more or one less endorsement wouldn't make a big difference.
Yang Hongxia also agreed with Xia Yan's point of view: "That's right, your focus now should be on the album. If the performance of this album can surpass the previous one, then within two years, you will definitely be able to enter the first-tier."
Blue Star has a very mature star classification system. Although Xia Yan's fan base, popularity, quality of work and other indicators have reached the standard, unfortunately the number of his representative works has not yet reached the standard, so he can only be considered a quasi-first-tier star and has not yet officially entered the first-tier ranks.
Compared to entering the first-tier, a brand endorsement is really nothing. Both Yang Hongxia and Xia Yan are clear about this.
"The promotion of the new album will begin next month. Variety shows, press conferences, roadshows, publicity... The next two months will be very busy. Oh, and there's also the music festival of NetSheng Music..." Yang Hongxia suddenly remembered something, "Lin Fan is still on the island, right? His two new songs are both very good. I wonder if he has any other songs?"
The key is whether they are willing to sell? You know, Yang Hongxia has more than one artist under her.
Xia Yan smiled: "Sister Xia is quite concerned about Lin Fan."
"I really want to sign him." Yang Hongxia had no problem admitting it.
Lin Fan has a good image and good temperament. He has talent and strength. Most importantly, he is very popular with the audience and passers-by. Who wouldn't want such an artist? "Yanyan, you have more contact with Lin Fan. Do you think he has a chance to be signed?"
Xia Yan thought for a moment and said, "Not now, let's see later."
In the future, maybe without anyone forcing him, Lin Fan would come out to do business on his own.
But that's all in the future. After Xia Yan hung up the phone, she asked Chen Yuan to help pack her luggage. She had to leave Huahai Island for two days. Although it was just a cover, she still had to promote it, especially since this song was to pave the way for the upcoming album.
Xia Yan called Lian Xiaoyu and said, "Pack up, I'll take you to see how a normal artist handles his/her work."
Lest you think that it is so easy to get into the entertainment industry, that it is so easy to be an agent, and that artists can be easily cheated!
Lian Xiaoyu happily followed Xia Yan for two days to attend the announcement.
Then, he was exhausted like a dead dog! In the hotel room, Lian Xiaoyu collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move a finger: "Yanyan, do big stars like you guys work so hard when running announcements?"
"It's OK!"
Xia Yan calculated that in the past two days, he had accepted three video interviews, shot a group of magazine covers, attended a press conference as a guest, recorded a variety show, and visited an artist under Yang Hongxia. The work was not much, and most of the time was spent on traveling and changing locations.
During this period, the one who suffered the most was not the assistants Chen Yuan and Lian Xiaoyu who followed Xia Yan around, but Xia Yan himself. Because just changing clothes and doing styling was torture enough, and rushing to wait for various places also took a lot of time. The key was that these times were very fragmented and there was no way to rest properly.
Xia Yan had long been accustomed to it. It was already good enough to be able to seize the time to rest. Otherwise, he would be so busy that he would have no time to rest.
Lian Xiaoyu was following Xia Yan on a promotion for the first time and couldn't adapt to this pace at all: "Alas! It seems that I am still a long way from my goal of becoming a good agent!"
In response, Chen Yuan could only say: Can you change your target? For example, how about being the capitalist behind the agent?
The three of them were chatting when Lin Fan called Xia Yan's phone.
Xia Yan picked up the phone: "Hello... Yeah, OK! No problem!... I'll tell her, see you tomorrow!"
Lian Xiaoyu couldn't help but be curious when she saw Xia Yan finish the call: "What did Xiao Fanfan say to you on the phone?"
Xia Yan's eyes flickered: "He said he wanted to ask us for a favor."
"Help? What help?" What problem did Lin Fan encounter? Chen Yuan was also very curious.
"Help... bargain..."
Chen Yuan was speechless. Bargain? She looked at Lian Xiaoyu, a rich lady, and then at Xia Yan, a potential first-line female star. How could these two not look like people who would bargain? No! The word "bargain" probably doesn't exist in their dictionary! Asking these two to help him bargain? Did Lin Fan's head get caught in the door? ...
Early the next morning, Lian Xiaoyu drove to pick up Lin Fan and came together to discuss the contract with the landlord.
"Is this the place you chose?"
"Yes! What do you think? Give me some advice!" Lin Fan tried his best to hint that talking about the shortcomings would help bargain! Lian Xiaoyu and Xia Yan walked around the store. Lin Fan had already informed them on the way here that they were responsible for lowering the price, that is, finding faults.
"It's okay! The garden is too small and there's no swimming pool!" Lian Xiaoyu disliked this garden very much. It doesn't even have a swimming pool. How dare you call yourself a garden?
Xia Yan also said: "Are there no hot springs? If there are hot springs, it can also become a selling point."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The landlord knew as soon as he heard it, these two, no, these three are all young and inexperienced people!
Great! He was originally worried that it would be difficult to rent out his house, but with these three people coming, it seems that the business has been settled. Moreover, maybe he can leave some loopholes in the contract.
Lian Xiaoyu and Xia Yan were in charge of finding faults, Lin Fan was in charge of trying to lower the price with an embarrassed look on his face, and the landlord was in charge of watching the show—no, it should be said that he was acting! Lin Fan: I’ll act! I’ll act! I’ll act hard! Landlord: I’ll just quietly watch you act cool.
Just like that, with both the host and the guests having a great time, Lin Fan signed the lease contract with the landlord.
The landlord watched Lin Fan sign his name and put his fingerprint on the signature. Even though he was so experienced, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile!
After signing the contract, Lin Fan transferred the rent and security deposit to the account provided by the landlord with great pain. Looking at the balance in his account, he almost couldn't breathe! The money had just arrived in his hand and it wasn't even warm yet! It was gone just like that! The landlord received the transfer, handed the key to Lin Fan, and then ran away!
Lin Fan looked at the landlord's car speeding away, thinking: "Why do I feel that this landlord seems a little weird?"
"Really?" Lian Xiaoyu asked carelessly, "Did we lower the price too much? The landlord is worried that if he stays any longer, he will lose all his money, so he ran away so quickly?"
"Are we being too aggressive in lowering the price?"
"Isn't that cruel? After all, the villas I bought before were much more expensive than this one! One of my villas can buy 10 people like you!" Compared to me, you are just a little brother! This, okay.
Lin Fan felt that the landlord must have fled because he had lowered the price too much.
