Kim Tae Hee was flipping through documents in the conference room, and the sunlight fell on her through the glass. Song Yi looked at Kim Tae Hee's profile and found that her eyelashes were so long that they could almost hold a matchstick. In the interweaving of light and shadow, there was an artistic beauty.
Guo Zairong was no longer in a hurry to urge Kim Tae-hee. He turned sideways to chat with Song Yi. "Besides TV commercials, Director Song should use other ways to promote Samdasoo, right?"
Song Yi and Guo Zairong briefly explained his plan, "In addition to TV, we will also place advertisements on Yahoo Korea and Naver to promote Samdasoo, with Naver being the largest. For example, when netizens search for 'real natural mineral water', the first search results are all Samdasoo."
Guo Zairong could now vaguely grasp Song Yi's thoughts. "In fact, you want to use Kim Tae-hee to achieve a popular effect. If everyone focuses on Kim Tae-hee, they will naturally focus on her first advertisement, which is Samdo Water. Are you so confident that everyone will like her?"
Song Yi said to Guo Zairong, "Director Guo, Kim Tae Hee is the kind of child that other people have. She has good grades, outstanding looks, and specialties in art. In addition to the aura of Seoul University, she is also a 100% natural beauty. If Tae Hee was your daughter, would you be proud of her?"
Guo Zairong looked at Kim Tae-hee who was reading the information carefully, and replied: "If I had such a cute and sensible daughter, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams at night." Guo Zairong was born in 1959. If he had married earlier, his child would probably be about the same age as Kim Tae-hee.
"But from what you said, Kim Tae-hee's family is well off. Does her family support her shooting commercials? After all, many rich people like to keep a low profile. Also, shooting commercials is actually very boring, and I'm worried that she can't bear the hardship." Guo Zairong expressed his concerns.
"After all, Taixi is an adult. We are not inviting her to star in a TV series or movie, and it will not affect her studies. We just need to ask for her consent." Song Yi said.
"As for your worry that she can't endure hardship, we can only try and know. We can't label her as someone who can't endure hardship just because her family is wealthy. In fact, many wealthy people's children come from better-off families than us, and they work harder than us." Song Yi advised Guo Zairong.
At this time, Kim Tae-hee had finished reading the information given to her by Kang Soo-na and had a deeper understanding of Samdasoo, a brand of Jeju Island.
Guo Zairong had made up his mind, but he still decided to test Kim Tae-hee one last time. "Kim Tae-hee."
Kim Tae Hee quickly sat up straight, "Yes."
Guo Zairong said in a serious tone, "In order to match the characteristics of Samdasoo's natural mineral water, we hope to find a natural beauty to star in the commercial."
"Have you never had any cosmetic surgery, even minor ones? You need to answer this truthfully. If it is exposed, even a minor surgery to correct teeth will affect the brand reputation of Samduo Water. Not only will we terminate the contract with you, but you may also face double claims from Samduo and Shinhan. Are you clear about this?" Guo Zairong said.
Jiang Xiu Na felt a little bit sorry, Kim Tae Hee is just a sophomore at Seoul University and has not yet entered the society. If Kim Tae Hee was worried about paying the penalty, then she would probably give up the opportunity to cooperate with Shinhan.
Kim Tae Hee thought about it and said, "First of all, I have to state that I have not done any cosmetic surgery, but I do not rule out the possibility of doing some minor plastic surgery in the future."
"When I was studying at Ulsan Girls' High School and Seoul National University, I went to a private hospital for a physical examination every year, and the doctor who did the physical examination can also prove it for me."
"Secondly, I haven't decided whether to star in Shinhan's advertisement. If I agree to shoot, I will need to trouble you to send the contract to my father's private lawyer via fax. He will help me look over the terms of the contract to see if the agreement is reasonable. If it is indeed my fault that the brand's reputation is damaged, I can bear the corresponding losses." Kim Tae-hee answered in an orderly manner.
If a girl comes from an ordinary family, when she hears that she has the opportunity to play the leading role in an advertisement, great joy will instantly go to her head. She will sign the contract in a fit of excitement without carefully examining the terms in the contract.
Many female artists in South Korea are like this. When they hear that they have the opportunity to become idols or actors, they rush to sign contracts with management companies. Such contracts are signed for seven years at the beginning, and they dare not terminate the contract because they cannot afford the sky-high penalty. The company tells them to go east, but they dare not go west. They are simply the modern version of Yang Bailao.
But Kim Tae-hee is different. First of all, she is not short of money. The reason she came to the audition is because she is interested in commercial shooting and wants to give it a try, a bit like a hobby.
Secondly, even if there are clauses in the contract provided by Shinhan that are unfavorable to her, she can ask her father's private lawyer to help clear the minefields and avoid being deceived. Perhaps this is the confidence that raising a daughter in wealth gives Kim Tae-hee? Song Yi heard Kim Tae-hee say, "You are right. Shooting an advertisement is a big deal after all. If it comes to signing the contract, then Tae-hee's parents will definitely be needed to help check it. After all, you are still a student. Director Guo, how about we arrange an audition for Tae-hee this afternoon?"
"If the audition goes well, we at Shinhan will provide you and Tae Hee with a contract. If you have any objections to the terms in the contract, we can discuss it. But let me make one thing clear, the offer for advertising remuneration is not negotiable." Song Yi said in one breath.
Kim Tae-hee is a newcomer in advertising, and Shinhan paid her 20 million won, about 110,000 yuan. As a director, Guo Zairong's salary is much higher, and Shinhan offered him 120 million won.
For Kim Tae-hee, the pay for Samdasu's commercial is only enough for her to buy an Hermès bag. However, if you look at it from another perspective, Kim Tae-hee's advertising fee has exceeded her four-year college tuition, which is still attractive.
Guo Zairong was also very satisfied with Kim Tae-hee's answer. She could think so much, which showed that Kim Tae-hee was ready to shoot the commercial and would not give up halfway. As a director, he was most afraid of the second-generation rich who came to the entertainment industry for fun. They would cooperate with the shooting when they were in a good mood, but would go on strike when they were in a bad mood. At worst, they would have to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
Moreover, these second-generation rich people often have strong connections and are well connected. If you really offend them, they might trip you up one day and make you cry without tears. So relatively speaking, he still prefers to use actors from ordinary families, but fortunately, Kim Tae-hee is more polite and respects the work of directors and producers.
During the audition in the afternoon, Song Yi did not watch the whole process. He visited Sanduo Mineral Water and reported the current progress of the work to them. Sanduo also agreed with Song Yi's choice of director, but still had some concerns about Song Yi's use of Kim Tae-hee, who had no filming experience at all. Song Yi also agreed that after the sample film of the advertisement was cut, he would let Sanduo see the final effect as soon as possible.
When Song Yi returned to the company, Kim Tae-hee had also finished her audition for the day, and it could be seen that she looked a little tired.
Song Yi asked Jiang Xiu Na, "How was it? Is Director Guo satisfied with Tae Hee's audition performance?"
Jiang Xiu Na put her arm around Kim Tae Hee's shoulders and said, "The senior said that Tae Hee's performance today was first-rate! She has the potential to become an excellent actress."
After a day of contact, Kim Tae-hee has quickly become familiar with her senior sister Jiang Xiu Na, but she can't adapt to her enthusiasm.
Song Yi was not surprised. “In that case, let’s at Shinhan draw up an endorsement contract for Tae Hee. By the way, remember to fax a copy of the contract to Tae Hee’s father, so that Uncle Kim doesn’t think I kidnapped his daughter.” Song Yi joked with Kim Tae Hee.
There will be another chapter in the evening. Thank you for your voting support! (End of this chapter)
