Chapter 29: Shooting a magazine cover! Incurring the envy of others!
The bright light from the ceiling cast a thin shadow on Fu Yanshen's eyelids, making his handsome face appear exceptionally soft under the light.
He was somewhat different from his usual aloof and cold self.
Do you want to sign?
Why does that tone of voice... also carry a hint of gentleness?
Xia Mian's cheeks involuntarily began to burn.
Fu Yanshen tilted his head slightly and looked down. From his angle, he could see Xia Mian's lowered head, revealing a section of her snow-white neck, which was very alluring!
His gaze deepened, and he saw the girl's fair and round earlobes slowly turning pink, until they were so red they looked as if they could drip blood.
He smiled and handed Xia Mian a tissue.
Xia Mian subconsciously reached out and took the tissue. The man's deep voice, like fine red wine, fell again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I'm thinking about it." For some reason, she suddenly wanted to ask the man's opinion. "I don't know if I should sign it or not, what do you think?"
“Since you intend to pursue a career in music, you need to gain recognition. I suggest you sign him.” Fu Yanshen
His voice was decisive and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.
This generated a lot of buzz. Xia Mian unintentionally became the final model for the LX brand, and LX must have already prepared the press release.
If Xia Mian signs LX as a brand ambassador, the press release will generate another wave of buzz.
Not to mention, Cedric and he also had a personal relationship.
Life's opportunities are like that; if you seize them, they are opportunities; if you don't, you miss them.
Xia Mian looked at him in surprise. He said, "Sign?"
Deep down, I inexplicably trust him and unconditionally believe that his judgment is always right.
Xia Mian then calmed herself down, and her previously hesitant heart became incredibly firm at this moment.
"I'm signing a brand ambassadorship."
Fu Yanshen raised an eyebrow slightly. She actually took his opinion?
A subtle joy welled up inside him, and he picked up his glass of red wine and took a sip.
"Great, great, fantastic!" Cedric nodded excitedly and immediately instructed his assistant to prepare the contract, acting as if he was afraid Xia Mian would run away.
If those supermodels and celebrities outside saw this scene, they would probably be insanely jealous!
The LX brand has always been high-end, and many celebrities and internet influencers try to curry favor with it to gain some fashion exposure. But when it comes to Xia Mian, the design director is all bowing and scraping, and she still has to hesitate again and again.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.
Zhao Baoqi, who was engrossed in eating, looked up when he heard that Xia Mian was going to sign a brand ambassadorship, and asked, "What about me? Can I sign one too?"
Cedric sized up Zhao Baoqi's figure and appearance. She was petite, lively, and outgoing, exuding youthful energy.
"Ms. Zhao, your temperament is more suitable for our LX-owned youth brand LS. Would you be willing to sign on as LS's brand ambassador?"
"Of course I'd love to! Ambassador, I'm getting paid!" Zhao Baoqi excitedly put down his chopsticks and grasped Cedric's hand. "Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best!"
The cost of being an LX brand ambassador is not low.
The very next morning after signing the one-year contract, Xia Mian received a brand ambassador fee of eight million yuan after tax in her account.
Many netizens believe that brand ambassadors are paid out of pocket and don't receive any fees, but that's not the case.
Generally speaking, the annual fee for brand ambassadors of luxury brands and high-end international brands is between one million and four million US dollars.
If it's a brand ambassador, the fee will be even higher.
When brands hire celebrities and online influencers as spokespeople, they categorize these titles into tiers based on the influencer's popularity and fame.
The spokesperson is superior to the brand ambassador, the brand ambassador is superior to the promotion ambassador, and the promotion ambassador is followed by the brand friend.
For Xia Mian, an ordinary person, to be able to obtain the title of brand ambassador and receive an endorsement fee at the market rate is already quite remarkable.
She was very satisfied!
The most satisfied person should be Zhao Baoqi. As a parasite of the Zhao and Fu families, she suddenly received five million in brand ambassador fees.
She was so excited that she rolled around on the bed.
Mianmian is such a lucky star! I only took Mianmian to a show, and she came back with the title of ambassador!
Ha ha!
How should they spend five million?
Grandma's birthday is coming up soon, so I asked Mianmian to go with me to pick out a gift for her!
I've finally made some money! I need to buy gifts for Mommy and Daddy!
Most importantly, Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi did not sign with any agents or entertainment companies, so this was their real income, and they didn't have to share it with any company or agent.
As a brand ambassador, promotional materials are naturally indispensable.
After breakfast, Zhao Baoqi drove with Xia Mian to LX's headquarters building in Mingcheng.
Publicity Director Ji Jialin personally came downstairs to greet the two of them.
Ji Jialin has delicate features, a slender figure, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
At such a young age, he has already become the publicity director of an international brand like LX, which shows that he must have extraordinary abilities.
Zhao Baoqi looked at Ji Jialin curiously, especially at the narrow eyes behind the man's gold-rimmed glasses.
The man had a gentle smile.
"This way, ladies. We can go directly to the photography studio."
"The photo shoot will take about two hours. You can also submit your social media accounts to me. I will tag you both when we make the official announcement."
"From now on, any new clothing items will be delivered directly to the two ladies, along with some holiday gift boxes and the like. Oh, and by the way!"
Ji Jialin laughed again, "Today we're not only shooting promotional materials, but also a magazine cover shoot. This magazine cover is a gift from the brand to the two ladies."
Fashion magazines don't make money from so-called sales figures; they make money from advertising, and ultimately, the brands pay the bill.
Therefore, there is a deep and intertwined partnership between fashion magazines and brands.
When a brand signs a new spokesperson or ambassador, it usually sends a promotional cover to the ambassador or spokesperson.
Some fashion magazines also proactively invite brands to cover their products.
Whether it's an invitation to cover the cover or a promotional cover, it's all very nice.
"We actually got a promotion?" Xia Mian looked at Ji Jialin in surprise.
I never expected Cedric to be so generous and send me a magazine cover.
“Miss Xia, there’s no need to belittle yourself.” Ji Jialin stood in front of the elevator and gestured for her to enter. Xia Mian pulled Zhao Baoqi into the elevator, and only then did he step in.
"Although Ms. Xia is an ordinary person, her temperament and appearance are a better fit for our brand than many celebrities, supermodels, and internet celebrities we have worked with."
"You are a very bright and special person."
Ji Jialin pressed the button for the floor where the photography studio was located, "So it's only natural to postpone it."
The elevator dinged, "We've arrived!"
The three of them walked out of the elevator together, and Ji Jialin said meaningfully, "I suppose after today, the two ladies will no longer be ordinary people."
Zhao Baoqi looked around the entire floor with curiosity.
Almost every staff member was very busy and exuded an elite aura.
The two girls went to different dressing rooms to get their makeup done.
Xia Mian sat in front of the dressing table, just as the makeup artist was about to apply her makeup.
Suddenly, a tall woman stormed in aggressively.
"Xia Mian!"
