Chapter 141 New goal: 10 billion in annual sales!
After signing the contract and receiving the film remuneration, both parties shook hands and expressed their willingness to cooperate happily in the future.
Unlike Kim Ki-hyun's fixed salary of 300 million, as the top actor in Chungmuro, Sol Kyung-gu's salary is 700 million + box office share.
(Skip mode: number of viewers below 5 million/50 won per person; number of viewers above 5 million/100 won per person; number of viewers above 10 million/200 won per person. PS: He has nothing to do with the box office dividends from overseas releases.) For example, if the box office of this movie is 5 million viewers, then Sol Kyung-gu's pay is 700 million + 500 million before tax.
However, this 500 million dividend is distributed in the form of a bonus and is not included in the film remuneration and no tax is deducted.
"Director Bian, when will our film start shooting?"
"At the end of June, we are setting up the prison shooting location now, and we will notify you in advance when the time comes."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave, Director."
After understanding the situation, Jin Qixuan took the script with the complete storyline and bowed to leave.
On the way, Jin Qixuan asked:
"Brother Bingxu, will I be alright later?"
"Yes, we are going to K.swiss to renew our endorsement contract. We also have a reshoot for Youth Over Flowers in the afternoon."
【K.swiss】 is a beautiful American sportswear brand that Kim Ki-hyun and Liu Huiying collaborated on to endorse during the filming of "Reply 1988". It is also the first brand endorsed by Kim Ki-hyun in his life.
When Sheng Bingxu mentioned this brand, Jin Qixuan was reminded of Liu Huiying, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Speaking of which, she didn't go on the 1988 Phuket tour after the filming was completed, nor did she attend the autograph session at the ratings convention, but she did attend the special concert of the main actor that Jin Qixuan didn't attend. It's a bit like Liu Huiying is deliberately avoiding Jin Qixuan.
What surprised Jin Qixuan the most was that she was not present when signing the endorsement contract renewal!
It was not until Jin Qixuan asked about it that she realized that the renewal was not because she did not want to come, but because the brand had cancelled the cooperation with her.
The answer is very realistic: it’s a sales issue.
Thanks to the broadcast of "Reply 1988" and its subsequent popularity, couple's clothing and women's clothing were still very popular in the first two months.
But the popularity of a TV series is limited. Kim Ki-hyun has withstood the impact of "Descendants of the Sun" by virtue of his success in the fashion circle. His popularity has increased instead of decreased, and the sales of the clothing he endorses continue to rise.
But Liu Huiying herself was not one of the main actors, so the bonus she received was limited, and she was not exposed after the TV broadcast ended. Under the impact of the current national hit drama "Descendants of the Sun", she disappeared directly, and the sales of her women's clothing plummeted. In fact, it is normal. The entertainment market is so cruel. There are countless actors who disappeared from the public eye after only appearing once.
Today, this brand is endorsed solely by Jin Qixuan, and the contract has been renewed - 300 million per year.
After the contract was signed, Jin Qixuan's sales in the first half of the year had reached nearly 4 billion won. After deducting taxes and company shares, Jin Qixuan received about 1.8 billion won.
Although it is not as good as the profits that Song Joong-ki and Park Bo-gum bring to the company (Song Joong-ki's split is 4/6, Park Bo-gum's split is 3/7, and Kim Ki-hyun's split is 5/5. Naturally, the two of them bring higher profits than Kim Ki-hyun.) , after all, Kim Ki-hyun has just debuted for a year and created nearly 2 billion in revenue for the company in half a year. Kim Ki-hyun thinks he is already very awesome.
Jin Qixuan’s goal for the second half of the year is to strive to achieve “annual sales of 10 billion yuan”.
After the contract was signed, the brand owner and Jin Qixuan made an appointment to reshoot the promotional photos after his final exams.
After leaving the K.swiss building, Sheng Bingxu drove to the crew of "Moonlight in the Clouds" to pick up Park Bo Gum.
"Hey! Baojian, long time no see~"
Seeing Park Bo Gum getting into the car, Kim Ki-hyeon pointed his mobile camera at his face and took a picture.
Park Bo Gum was stunned and asked:
"Didn't we just meet the day before yesterday?"
"Prabhu, it's been a long time since we last met, audience friends."
"Ah... Long time no see, I missed you guys so much~"
Park Bo Gum showed his signature innocent and bright smile to the camera and waved hello.
Afterwards, Kim Kye-hyun turned the camera around and stuck it next to Park Bo-gum, smiling and saying hello to the camera: "Long time no see everyone~ We are on our way to Youth Over Flowers now."
"Bo Gum, how long has it been since you last saw Jun Yeol and Jae Hong?"
Park Bo Gum recalled and answered:
"Emm... I haven't seen them for two months. I miss them quite a bit."
Afterwards, the two chatted with the camera in a question-and-answer format, updating the audience on their respective current situations.
After a while, the car arrived at the shooting location.
"Hey, Jaehong and Junyeol, long time no see!!!"
Although he was not that excited, they were recording a variety show after all. Therefore, as soon as they met on the terrace, Jin Qixuan rushed over and gave them a warm hug.
"Hey, Qixuan! The sword!"
Compared to Yoo Jun-yeol's enthusiastic hug with the two, Ahn Hong-jae seemed a little unfamiliar and cautious as if he hadn't seen them for a long time.
"How come you two have become so handsome again!"
Jin Qixuan patted Liu Junlie on the back and said with a smile: "The two of us are okay, but Junlie has really become handsome. He even dared to take a photo with Zhao Yincheng~"
During the vanity competition in the five-member group, after Yoo Jun-yeol posted a photo of him and Jo In-sung in the "The King" crew to the group, Lee Dong-hui teased it as "a cross-century photo of primitive people and modern people."
When Park Bo Gum recalled Lee Dong Hwi's insightful summary, he instantly laughed like a shrimp.
“Pfft…hahahaha…”
An Hongzai was not in the small group of five people, so he didn't know what Jin Qixuan was talking about. But when he saw Park Bo Gum suddenly burst out laughing, he also laughed foolishly.
Liu Junyeol: “…”
If this wasn't the show, Liu Junyeol would have to let Jin Qixuan know the value of his position as the second-in-command of the Wild Dog Faction...
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, at Luo Nu's invitation, the four of them started an open-air BBQ.
The four of them ate and chatted, recalling the interesting things that happened during their previous trip to Africa.
Until dark, everyone recorded a memory question and answer session.
[How do you feel you are different after returning from this trip to Africa? ]
Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and answered: "I will be closer to my family than before (laughs). After seeing the vast desert, I felt my own insignificance, and I also learned to live in the present and cherish the time in front of me."
After recording the last video, "Youth Over Flowers: Africa" officially ended and will be broadcast in June.
In early June, Jin Qixuan successfully passed the final exam with a GPA of 3.5! Celebrate together!
During the summer vacation, Jin Qixuan went to the "K.swiss" company as agreed to shoot a new clothing advertisement.
On June 3, Kim Ki-hyun went to the Peace Hall at Kyung Hee University to attend the Baeksang Arts Awards ceremony.
