Chapter 234 Another thing to compare in the entertainment industry

Chapter 234 Another thing to compare in the entertainment industry:

Yida Records.

"Okay, that's enough everyone. Time is limited, so let's stop the interview here today."

Dong Chen was observing Lin Zhixing's expressions and noticed that he was a little tired during the interview. Moreover, the reporter's questions were becoming more and more tricky, so he stepped forward and stopped him.

Lin Zhixing understood, raised his hand to check the time, and said, "Everyone, we have been chatting for forty minutes. I still have work to do. If you have anything else to ask, let's talk again tomorrow!"

Daring to speak, friendly, humorous language...

The reporters were still reluctant to continue the interview, but considering that it had been quite a while, they did not insist too much and just thanked Lin Zhixing repeatedly and waved goodbye.

"goodbye!"

Dong Chen and Lin Zhixing got on the elevator together. Dong Chen couldn't help but give some advice: "Brother Lin, you are too honest. Why do you answer everything truthfully? There will be more and more interviews in the future. It's not good to always tell the truth."

"Oh!"

Lin Zhixing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I made up some nonsense and stuttered. I thought the problem was okay, so I told it truthfully."

Dong Chen smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to make up lies, just make sure the other party can't choose you."

Lin Zhixing frowned and said sarcastically, "You guys are playing games like crazy. You think chatting is a skill. Why can't you select it?"

Dong Chen patted his chest and said, "If you do this, I'll give you an example. You are a firefighter now, so you can ask me any questions you want."

"oh……"

Lin Zhixing asked skeptically, "There's a gas leak at home, which number should you call?"

Dong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "My family doesn't use gas, I use the stove."

???

Lin Zhixing frowned and continued to ask: "How do you usually get around? In the corridor..."

Dong Chen raised his hand to interrupt: "I live in a bungalow."

“Is there anything piled around the bungalow?”

"There's firewood in the pile."

“What should I pay attention to when stacking firewood?”

"Don't let it get wet in the rain, or it won't light up."

“6!”

Lin Zhixing suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up, saying, "I have figured out the trick to being interviewed!"

"Reporter: yes or no?"

“Me: yoyo!”

Dong Chen smiled and high-fived Lin Zhixing. "Yes, yes, yes, the example is so vivid. That's it. It makes it impossible for reporters to choose a target."

Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.

Good boy, your emotional intelligence is really good! ...

The elevator stopped.

As the two walked out of the elevator, Dong Chen chatted, "Brother Lin, the location for the next episode of Singing Around the World has been decided. It's on the Mengcheng grassland."

“Very good.”

Lin Zhixing chuckled and said, "I haven't been to the grassland yet. I really want to feel its vastness."

"Me too."

As they were chatting, Dong Chen suddenly remembered, "By the way, Brother Lin, I almost forgot. Go to Sister Hui's office now. She said that after you finish the interview, she asked you to go see her."

"Yeah, okay."

Lin Zhixing also wanted to ask about the sale of the copyright, so he turned and walked towards the assistant's office.

Passing by the company's composition department...

"Wow, look, our company's father Qu is here!"

"Last night's "Summer of the Band" was so exciting. It was a perfect combination of knowledge and action. The only one who can defeat me is myself. It made my blood boil!"

"He is simply the king of kings, the man who stands at the top of Chinese music!"

The young people in the composition department were so excited when they saw Lin Zhixing passing by that they all stood up and waved respectfully to greet him.

"Brother Lin, good morning!"

"Brother Lin, you brought honor to our company last night. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Brother Lin, do you have time? Can I take a photo with you?"

Lin Zhixing stopped and looked at these young people with dreams, recalling his first time reporting to the Composition Department. There have been so many changes.

"Okay, sure!"

…

Twenty minutes later.

Assistant Office.

"Come in!"

"Sister Hui, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, yes, Xiaolin, come and sit down!"

Zhang Sihui waved enthusiastically, opened a box of dessert, opened a cup of milk tea and pushed it across the table, "Try it. You said it was delicious last time, so I bought it for you this morning!"

“Wow!”

Lin Zhixing didn't hesitate. He took a big bite of a peach cake and took a sip of milk tea. "Sister Hui, you are so nice to me all of a sudden. I'm a little flattered..."

"Of course I have to be nice to you."

"Zhang Sihui smiled and asked with narrowed eyes: Do you know what your position is in Yida Records?"

Lin Zhixing shook his head, "Artist status?"

"You are the apple of our company's eye and cash cow!"

Zhang Sihui gave a thumbs up and said, "Let me tell you this, with you alone, you are an artist at a top-tier music company, and an artist at half of a top-tier music company!"

If he continued to praise him, Lin Zhixing couldn't hold back the upward smile. It was a bit like a king praising his subordinates, saying "one man is worth a million soldiers."

"Sister Hui, stop talking..."

Lin Zhixing blushed, "Let me correct you, most of it!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Sihui covered her mouth and laughed, "Xiao Lin, this speaking style is worthy of you. You're right, every song you write is a hit, even if all of them are tied together, they are not as good as you!"

Lin Zhixing originally planned to say one, but he was too shy.

"but……"

Zhang Sihui changed the subject and said, "In fact, the influence and money-making ability of artists in entertainment companies are not only based on their works, but also on their commercial value."

"Commercial value? For example?"

Although he is a time traveler, this is Lin Zhixing's first time working in a music company and he doesn't understand many things.

"Dai Yan, I called you here today mainly to tell you this."

Zhang Sihui picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to Lin Zhixing. "I was watching a short video just now. Watch this video. If you don't understand, ask me again."

"good."

Lin Zhixing nodded and pressed the play button on the screen.

[A review of the top five domestic celebrities in terms of the number of luxury endorsements. Who has the highest commercial value? Is yours among them? ]

[Fifth place: Jiang Bin...]

Lin Zhixing didn't know this person, so he swiped the screen to skip.

[Fourth place: Super July M captain Guo Jiahe. He has three luxury brands endorsed, Guerlain, Bulgari Asia Pacific spokesperson, and L'Oréal Paris brand spokesperson.]

"???"

The familiar name Guo Jiahe made Lin Zhixing stop scrolling the screen.

The number of luxury endorsements by Chinese entertainers ranks fourth? Is he so awesome? My goodness, even if he doesn't sing anymore, he can live a life of luxury with the endorsement fees, right?

Lin Zhixing was greatly shocked and turned up the volume on his phone, wanting to see who the three artists who surpassed Guo Jiahe were.

[Third place: Liu Shiwen. Four luxury brands endorsed, Chanel, Omega, Prada Beauty, and Valentino.]

[Second place: Libara. The darling of the fashion industry. He has endorsed six luxury brands, including three from the Dior series, and also the global endorsement of Mimoto, Panerai and Clarins. The king of the post-90s generation! ]

[First place: Liu Xian. She is the spokesperson for seven top luxury brands, including LV and Bulgari, both of which are at the top luxury level. She is also the spokesperson for the image of the United Arab Emirates. She represents a city by herself.]

The three stars ranked ahead of Guo Jiahe are all female stars.

The one who ranked first opened Lin Zhixing's eyes. It turned out that the country could be the spokesperson. It was amazing! Seeing that Lin Zhixing had finished watching the video, Zhang Sihui smiled and asked: "If you don't understand anything after watching it, you can ask me."

Lin Zhixing scratched his head and asked curiously, "Please explain the classification of grades. I don't understand the global and brand names at all."

Zhang Sihui nodded and explained in detail: "Spokesperson > Brand ambassador > Brand friend > Brand friend."

"There are also regional divisions: global spokesperson > Asia Pacific spokesperson > Chinese spokesperson."

"Also, the more expensive the product, the higher the grade. Jewelry and ready-to-wear clothing are of a higher grade than beauty and skincare. In the domestic entertainment industry, having a spokesperson for three or more luxury brands is very impressive."

After listening, Lin Zhixing understood.

The global spokesperson is the most powerful. The more expensive the item, the more prestigious it is.

It seems that Guo Jiahe has been in the industry for less than three years? In such a short period of time, he has become the fourth in the domestic entertainment industry and the first among male stars. It's really amazing!

Lin Zhixing suddenly remembered that he had also endorsed a product, and asked curiously, "Sister Hui, how is my endorsement of the M-Zone card calculated? Is it valuable?"

Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, "Your endorsement is just a domestic product, it doesn't have much value."

Good man, in terms of commercial value, Guo Jiahe has crushed me to the point where there is nothing left! "Okay."

Lin Zhixing touched his nose awkwardly and asked, "What about the endorsement you just mentioned? Is there a brand that wants me to be its spokesperson?"

"yes!"

Zhang Sihui raised her lips and said, "It's a super large foreign brand. Mercedes-Benz wants to invite you to be the global spokesperson. There is no probation period. You can be directly airborne and signed directly by the headquarters."

"ah?"

Lin Zhixing was a little confused after hearing this, and asked himself in his heart why?

"Is it because the song 'See You Again' became popular on YouTube? Is that why they chose me?"

"I'm not sure about that."

Zhang Sihui put her index finger on her red lips, raised her eyes and thought for a while, guessing: "Maybe they were attracted by your current influence. Even the World Cup theme song was composed by you, and many of your soundtracks are also very popular abroad..."

“Who was the last global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz and what did he do?”

Lin Zhixing wanted to judge their selection criteria based on the previous term.

Zhang Sihui replied: "The last global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz was Japanese actress Xia Shu, a famous Japanese actress."

Xia Shu? This name is so familiar...

Since I can be an actor in movies, then I should have no problem being a singer.

【bite!】

【Scenario has been triggered! 】

[Congratulations to the host for winning the songs "Drift" & "All the Way North"! ]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

Two songs at once? Lin Zhixing was somewhat flattered.

Both songs are from the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou. "Drift" is the theme song of the movie, and "Due North" is the interlude of the movie.

The movie "Initial D" made the AE86 and Akina Mountain popular.

Lin Zhixing once thought that this car was very cool, but later he found out that AE86 is the "Corolla" that is now criticized by netizens as the old aunt on the road.

A stands for engine, E stands for Corolla, 8 stands for the fifth generation, and 6 stands for 1.6L displacement. I was really fooled by the movie for a long time.

Although the song "Drift" is not very popular, it is Jay Chou's first electronic music song.

The song "All the Way North" is very popular.

Lin Zhixing likes this song very much.

Judging from the lyrics and the overall tone, "Here We Go" is really JAY's saddest song.

The music started, as if they had just broken up, riding a motorcycle in the wind and rain, and scenes of their lives kept flashing in their minds...

"Xiaolin, are you willing?"

"oh……"

Lin Zhixing's thoughts were interrupted by Zhang Sihui, who nodded and asked curiously, "Then as the highest-level global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz, what compensation do they give me?"

Zhang Sihui said: "You can choose any car under the brand, plus an endorsement fee of 20 million."

"I do."

After hearing this generous reward, Lin Zhixing nodded without hesitation, "As for the car, I'll choose the Mercedes-Benz Normadisen Navigator. Sister Hui, please help me negotiate!"

We already have a sedan, and this car is a motorhome, worth more than 13 million yuan and weighs 23 tons, almost the same weight as a tank. It is called the Noah's Ark among cars.

Lin Zhixing thought it would be so cool if he could drive this car to record the next grassland program of "Singing Around the World".

"Okay, leave it to me!"

…

…

The next morning.

Haiyun Records Company.

"Good morning, Jiahe!"

"morning!"

Guo Jiahe walked into his office with a fat-reducing meal in his hand, turned on his computer, and ate lunch while browsing the news on Weibo.

Although the next episode of "I Am the King of Singers" will be about "singing and dancing", which is his specialty, he has not slacked off at all. He has been training extremely hard in recent days and has not even been online.

The first message he received online made Guo Jiahe particularly happy.

[Peter Pan unboxed 500W. Because it's you, just you. He said he would work hard to be the best. Today he did it! ]

The pictures accompanying the Weibo post are photos of jewelry.

As a spokesperson, I never expected that as soon as the new product was officially announced, a wealthy woman would pay 5 million for me.

In the future, I will become a man sought after by luxury brands all over the world. By then, my whole body will be covered with advertising space, and I will make a lot of money.

“Fuck!”

When Guo Jiahe saw a piece of news about Lin Zhixing, he almost spat out the chicken breast in his mouth.

"I'll give you 8.8 out of 10, and you're a bit stupid."

Although the first and second place winners of the show are very strong, it is a bit silly to claim to be the first.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. It’s no loss for you if others lose, but it’s a great loss of face for you if you lose to others!

“Boom boom boom…”

"Come in!"

A middle-aged man walked in and congratulated him with a smile: "Jiahe, the contract has been signed. Congratulations on officially becoming the brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz!"

Guo Jiahe put down his chopsticks and patted the table excitedly, "It's not easy. After two years of trial, they finally agreed!"

"That's right."

Guo Jiahe asked with a smile: "I heard they are selecting a global spokesperson. Have they chosen one yet?"

The man nodded, "I've chosen them, and I've announced who they are."

"Who is it?"

"Lin Zhixing."

"ah?"

Guo Jiahe's face was full of disbelief, and he frowned and asked, "How could it be him? Mercedes-Benz didn't have a probation period for him, and he made an exception directly?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, I get it, go out and close the door!"

Guo Jiahe felt a splitting headache at the moment, as he would be attending an event with his global spokesperson in a few days.

Now, his status is higher than mine? (End of this chapter)
