East Asia Mingyu Advertising Media Co., Ltd., film and television base.
The entire building belongs to a media company, which houses a photo studio, recording studio, post-production room, etc. All the company's print ads and short video ads are shot here.
A nanny car stopped at the main entrance of the building, and Jiang Shuying walked down with her assistant.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang. I'm Bai Qing from the Creative Department. Please follow me."
"Hello, Miss Bai. I'm really sorry to trouble you this time."
Shen Kaihang celebrated his birthday at the bar, and Jiang Shuying and Zheng Kai went over to toast him for Si Mingyu's sake. She thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, her agent received a call a few days ago saying that a brand advertisement had invited her to audition.
This brand boasts a significant domestic market share, strong reputation, and influence, and is currently experiencing growth. The rule in the entertainment industry is that the bigger the brand, the more established the celebrity. If you're not a star enough, the big brands won't even look at you. A celebrity's popularity can be gauged by the endorsements they've accepted.
So the agent agreed immediately.
After telling Jiang Shuying about this and mentioning that the call was from a department under the East Asia Mingyu Advertising Media Company, she immediately understood what was going on. No wonder Zheng Kai said to himself that as long as he could satisfy Mr. Si, there would be no shortage of benefits.
The reason why Jiang Shuying was so polite to Bai Qing was because she knew that the person in front of her must be no simple person.
Having shot so many commercials, she had a good understanding of the structure of these companies. Normally, the advertising department was responsible for reception, so the fact that she was from the creative department was a big deal. Besides, Bai Qing's designer clothes weren't cheap; Jiang Shuying had rarely seen a middle-level manager at an advertising company dressed like that before.
In the office, Bai Qing took out a formal agreement and handed it over: "Teacher Jiang, this is the official contract. The terms are the same as what we said on the phone before. Please confirm it and then we will go to the audition."
The agent took the contract and compared it with his notebook. He knew what Bai Qing said was right: "There is no problem with the contract."
"Then I'll trouble Miss Bai next."
Whether the celebrity agrees to endorse a product is one thing, but whether the film meets the brand's requirements is another. Jiang Shuying was chosen because her status, influence, and image are suitable for the brand's products, but ultimately, the brand must be satisfied with the photos and videos after the audition before signing a contract.
Assuming that all the stars who auditioned are suitable, Jiang Shuying will definitely be the one selected.
The sets and props in the studio are ready, and we will be shooting three sets today.
I know makeup artist Jiang Shuying, who's quite famous in Shanghai's celebrity scene and has designed red carpet looks for many big stars. The outfit also fits my personality and style, so it seems the brand took this audition very seriously.
As an "old man" in the entertainment industry, shooting commercials is not difficult for Jiang Shuying. The photographer is also a well-known figure in the industry, so the original film he shot is already very good.
Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Shuying saw Bai Qing and the others enter the studio with a young girl. Despite the girl's mature makeup and clothing, as a professional, she could tell at a glance that she was no older than 23.
The most important thing is that she is so beautiful. There are only a handful of people in the industry who can compare with her. If she was also here for an audition, Jiang Shuying really wouldn't have the confidence to compete with her. After all, filming commercials is not filming TV dramas, and there are basically no requirements for acting skills.
"Teacher Jiang, thank you for your hard work." Bai Qing handed over a bottle of mineral water during the break.
"Ms. Bai, is that person also here for an audition?" Jiang Shuying gestured slightly in one direction.
"Who is that?" Bai Qing turned and looked over. "She's not here for the audition. That's the boss lady."
"Boss lady?" Jiang Shuying didn't understand. She felt that this word could not be associated with a young girl.
"Well, her name is Zhang Ningxi, and she's Mr. Si's girlfriend."
"Oh." Jiang Shuying understood immediately. The advertising and media company is affiliated to the East Asia Mingyu Group and is Si Mingyu's own company. It is really appropriate to call her the boss's lady.
"Not only that, she is also a major shareholder of Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company, the brand advertising this time. She came here today out of curiosity to see your audition. As long as she nods, the contract can be signed immediately." Bai Qing added.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Si is also involved in the cosmetics industry." Jiang Shuying couldn't help but sigh that the business of East Asia Mingyu Group is really extensive.
"This is not the group's business. The shares are a betrothal gift from Mr. Si to his girlfriend."
"Dowry? It should be quite a bit, right?" Jiang Shuying also understood that those who could influence the company's decisions were either shareholders with positions or had a lot of shares.
"It accounts for 21% and has a market value of 3.2 billion Chinese yuan."
Bai Qing's face didn't change as she said this, but she felt a bit uncomfortable inside. The difference between one person and another was obvious. Even though she wore designer clothes, drove a luxury car, and ate at famous restaurants, she was still a beggar compared to them.
But he had no right to be jealous. She was the queen, and he was just a canary kept for fun.
"How much?" Jiang Shuying felt that she must have heard it wrong.
"The current market value of those shares is 3.2 billion Chinese yuan." Bai Qing repeated.
Then both of them fell silent at the same time.
Although Jiang Shuying didn't usually pay attention to the financial and corporate world, a net worth of 3.2 billion Chinese yuan would definitely put him in the top 1,000 of China's richest people, right? The wealth that so many people, generations of hard work, hadn't been able to obtain was merely a betrothal gift to Zhang Ningxi.
In Jiang Shuying's opinion, the top female stars in the entertainment industry are no less beautiful than Zhang Ningxi. If the scope is expanded to the whole of China, the number will increase, but Si Mingyu happened to meet her and choose her.
It is true that some people live well and some people marry well.
In the following shoot, Jiang Shuying naturally gave her best, striving to satisfy the brand, or as long as she was satisfied.
"Everyone stop." Bai Qing suddenly stopped the filming.
"Miss Bai, what's wrong?" Jiang Shuying asked puzzledly.
"Teacher Jiang, the brand is very satisfied with your audition. Let's sign the contract first and then start filming the feature film directly."
"That's really good news."
Jiang Shuying wanted to go over and thank Zhang Ningxi, but found that she had already left.
Zhang Ningxi came today out of curiosity about what it would be like to shoot an advertisement and wanted to see what it would be like. Jiang Shuying's audition turned out well, so she decided on the spot. After all, she was a classmate who had helped her husband.
She has been learning various management and financial knowledge, and is also actively participating in the affairs of Peacock Feather Cosmetics Company. After all, she has to manage her own pocket money.
