Italian HA Cigar Company.
night.
Gradually getting deeper.
The company's boss Marco silently looked at the moonlight outside the window.
After looking at the documents on the table, he breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Last year, HA Cigar Company was on the verge of closing.
Yes!
Because the product itself was a generic brand and because of issues with advertising funding, the cigar company went downhill and suffered losses of tens of millions of euros.
With a loss of tens of millions of euros, the company could actually have declared bankruptcy directly.
after all……
HA Cigar Company was originally a new company and the total investment was not much.
In fact, Marco was also prepared for bankruptcy.
but……
Just when the company was about to be sold and Marco was preparing to change careers, he unexpectedly saw a turn for the better.
After that unexpected turn of events, not only did the company turn the corner, but HA cigars were gradually recognized by the upper class and became a professional brand of their own within a year.
Marco is a grateful man.
He knew who was the biggest contributor to the company's sudden turnaround.
After seeing the company's profitability this year, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been holding it in for nearly a year.
"Boss, you're looking for me?"
"Mr. Amio, I think our company needs a spokesperson..."
"Spokesperson? Ah... didn't you need a spokesperson before?"
"Yes, I didn't need it before, but I do now. Mr. Emio, do you know what I have been holding back for the past year?"
"What?"
"Haha... I've always thought that after the company makes a profit, I will spend a large sum of money to invite that person to visit the company. Similarly, I hope to use my sincerity and gratitude to make that person the only spokesperson for our company..."
"ah?"
…
This year's "The Voice of China" is extremely popular.
The ratings exceeded 20 points, ranking first among similar variety shows.
Similarly, this is the season with the most topics among all the previous Voice of China shows.
Lu Yuan, who has a superstar status, suddenly came on stage to sing, which caused a wave of enthusiasm among the fans.
The champion singer of "The Voice of China" announced that he rejected Joaquin's S-Agreement and signed with Lu Yuan's Remote Entertainment...
Four instructors resorted to all kinds of ridiculous methods to compete for students...
Anyway…
Among this year's variety shows, "The Voice of China" is definitely the ace!
but……
As the show became popular, people in the entertainment industry immediately realized that the biggest winner of "The Voice of China" was not Zhou Xiaofeng, the champion mentor, nor Zhao Xiaohan, who was in the spotlight, nor the Zhejiang Provincial TV Station...
The biggest winner was Lu Yuan, whose face only appeared on the stage for ten minutes!
Yes!
It's him!
Why?
In the first few episodes of "The Voice of China", many students sang Lu Yuan's songs. Similarly, when Zhou Xiaofeng was competing for students, he mentioned Lu Yuan more than once, indirectly promoting Lu Yuan. In addition to him, another mentor Chen Feng would occasionally use Lu Yuan's voice as an example to the students, such as "Your voice is not as adaptable as Lu Yuan's, you can't sing this song" and so on...
These are all indirect.
What are the actual benefits?
The guest singers in "The Voice of China", Wang Long and Shen Zhiwei, are from Lu Yuan's company. They became a little famous on TV through the show "The Voice of China"...
Also, the champion contestant Zhao Xiaohan signed with Lu Yuan’s company.
Not only that, several of Lu Yuan's songs such as "Love Until Death", "Salted Fish" and "Stubborn" are ranked at the top of the charts of major music portals, especially the new song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which is actually dominating the charts. The popularity is shocking to the point that when you look down the charts, you can see that Lu Yuan is dominating the list.
Do you think this is the end?
No!
It’s not over yet!
An insider revealed that Lu Yuan was paid an appearance fee for appearing on "The Voice of China" for ten minutes, and the fee was actually seven million!
Seven million for ten minutes, what a fantastic price!
Even the real superstars in the entertainment industry are not so fierce.
After seeing this price, people in the industry were naturally shocked.
but……
After they realized that this person was Lu Yuan, they suddenly felt that seven million was quite reasonable...
After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. For a world-renowned pianist and a brainwashing king in China's headlines, the seven million is absolutely worth it. And looking at the ratings that were directly raised later, the seven million was definitely earned!
But although it is quite reasonable, isn’t Lu Yuan the winner?
Not only did the company gain a potential champion, but the company's employees were also exposed, and at the same time, they made a fortune...
Isn't this a winner?
That’s too much, isn’t it?
Of course, netizens and Lu Yuan’s fans don’t pay attention to these things.
What they are concerned about is whether Lu Yuan will hold a concert!
Concert?
Yes!
The ten minutes on stage were too short for these fans and audiences.
They were not satisfied at all. Some people even saved the video of Lu Yuan singing on the stage and watched it over ten times but still felt like they wanted more.
Under the headlines of major portals, in addition to discussing the recent series of events on "The Voice of China", a large number of people on the Internet were asking whether Lu Yuan's concert would be held, and if so, when it would be held...
Some people even speculated whether Lu Yuan's appearance this time was in preparation for his next concert.
Even though Lu Yuan hasn't really released an album yet, and even though he doesn't have many songs, for some reason, everyone thinks that Lu Yuan is already a superstar singer in the industry...
It would be strange if a singer like this didn't hold concerts or something, right?
The phone in "Remote" Entertainment and the agent Wu Tingting's hands were almost blown up. In the past two days, someone came every day to ask about the concert, which gave Wu Tingting a headache...
She never imagined that her boss Lu just went on stage to sing a song, but somehow the trend of the concert was started.
…
The runner-up Juno finally couldn't hold on to the idea in her heart.
He signed Joaquin to an A+ grade contract.
In fact, in a way, Juno is also a winner.
Well, I'm a lucky winner.
Tang Tong initially prepared a Class B contract for him, but after what happened with Zhao Xiaohan, and Tang Tong realized that Juno also wanted to sign with "Remote" Entertainment, he immediately changed the Class B contract to an A+ one.
Needless to say, the A+ level contract benefits are great!
When Juno saw the contract, he instantly felt an irresistible desire.
After hesitating for about a few minutes, he finally chose to sign the contract and officially became one of the potential singers that Joaquin Company focused on training.
While sitting on the plane, Juno looked out the window silently.
He recalled what Tang Tong had said to him.
"You will applaud your decision today. In a year, no, in half a year, even though you are the runner-up and she is the champion now, and her popularity and fame are much stronger than yours, but in half a year, your popularity and fame in the circle will far exceed hers. This is my promise to you!"
After thinking of this, Juno suddenly laughed.
Smile confidently.
Zhao Xiaohan...
See you in the future then!
…
After "The Voice of China" ended, Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue separated at the airport.
There are still things to deal with in "remote" entertainment. In addition, Wang Jinxue's Tianhe Cinema seems to have an important meeting to hold, which seems to be about expanding Tianhe Cinema further...
Originally, this meeting was attended by the official successor Wang Hao.
But after Wang Yaohua saw Wang Hao's jerk face, he immediately gave up all hope.
This guy is obsessed with rock music all the time. Talking to him is like talking to a cow.
Fortunately, his daughter Wang Jinxue's management skills and knowledge in various aspects are extraordinary, so Wang Yaohua can only call her Wang Jinxue.
The two were not sad at all about parting. "A Chinese Odyssey" was nearing its end and it would only take half a month to wrap up. The two would be able to meet again in half a month.
After all, if love between two people is long-lasting, why should they be together day and night?
After returning to Yinchuan, Lu Yuan continued his boring filming life. During the day, he stayed in the crew and worked diligently to shoot the finale of "A Chinese Odyssey". At night, he stayed in the office to think about the plot of "The Legend of 1900", and tried hard to fill "The Legend of 1900" with what he knew.
As for the song "Flight of the Bumblebee", Lu Yuan temporarily gave up on it.
This song...
Lu Yuan couldn't even recover halfway.
After all, it's okay to have a flash of inspiration for something deep in your memory, but if you want to remember it all...
This requires life.
As time goes by, the end of "A Chinese Odyssey" is getting closer and closer.
After a great battle, Lu Yuan is about to face the final plot on the city wall of "A Chinese Odyssey".
The last line of the story is actually very impressive...
That is...
"He looks like a dog!"
How much I feel lost.
So many joys and sorrows.
How many laughters and joys ended with such an extremely ironic statement?
The night of November 28th.
After arranging tomorrow's shooting plot, Lu Yuan rubbed his head and a relieved expression appeared on his face.
A stone in his heart finally fell.
At this moment, he felt more relaxed than ever before...
finally!
Is it ending?
finally……
It's time to relax for a while.
The weather in Yinchuan is getting colder.
If you go out in the morning, you can see thin layers of ice forming beside the river outside...
Lu Yuan looked out the window.
Then he wrapped himself in clothes.
seem……
In four or five days, it will snow in Yinchuan.
“Pah.”
"Come in."
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"Mr. Lu, I just received two endorsement calls... I think you should be interested..."
"What brand?"
"They are all brands you are familiar with. One is HA, the best-selling cigar brand in Italy this year, and the other is China's 'Honglan' cigarettes..."
"Hmm? HA? I haven't heard of it..."
"Ah... Mr. Lu, have you forgotten? The cigar in your famous art portrait is the HA brand..."
"What? Is that so?" Lu Yuan thought about it.
It seems to be like this.
"Yes, they are very generous... If you are willing, they want to pay 14 million euros, which is 100 million RMB, for your one-year endorsement... At the same time, they hope to continue to cooperate with you. Even the boss Marco wants to come to China in person to sign a contract with you to show his sincerity..."
"One hundred million RMB..." Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing this number.
He found that all he could think about was the glittering gold and money.
Some of them are lingering...
this……
Become rich!
Become rich!
"Yes, and the 'Honglan' company also..."
"Forget about 'Honglan'. The price of this thing has increased from eight yuan to sixteen yuan in the past year, and recently increased to twenty-four yuan. Moreover, the taste is getting more and more wrong. This company is really heartless. I won't accept it!" Lu Yuan shook his head when he thought of this 'Honglan', with a look of anger on his face.
"Mr. Lu, do you know why the price has increased?"
"Why?"
"Because you used to smoke 'Honglan'. After you smoked it, many people in the circle, including your fans, started to smoke 'Honglan'. The sales of 'Honglan' cigarettes became more and more popular. Now it has become a popular cigarette... Well... In fact, the culprit for the price increase of 'Honglan' is you..." Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan.
"What? Me?"
Lu Yuan was stunned...
What the hell!
"Do you know what people call 'Honglan' behind people's backs?"
"What?"
"The smoke of art..."
"???"
