From villain specialist to all-around superstar

Chapter 367: Advertising fees soar

The boss also praised Ye Chen.

It's almost embarrassing to praise Ye Chen so much.

Yang Mi and the other girls also looked at Ye Chen, with admiration written all over their faces.

The boss smiled and said: "Okay, you can continue chatting. I will serve everyone the food first. If you need anything, just call me."

The boss was very good at doing business and left after chatting for a few words.

Leave all the space to everyone.

After the boss left, Hu Ke asked in surprise: "Director Ye, have you really been a director here before?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Well, I have been a group performer here for five years."

"Then tell me, what's it like to be a group performer? Isn't it very tiring and the competition is very fierce?"

Ye Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It must be tiring to be a group performer, and it feels like being extremely tired. The most important thing is that the income of extra performers is not fixed. To use a bad word, it means that you have finished your meal. For the next meal, I lived on instant noodles for a while.”

"There are even many extras who, because they don't have a role to play, steal and rob and turn to crime."

"Just think about it, a play only costs 70 to yuan. It requires water and electricity bills, as well as other living expenses. Ordinary group actors have no chance of getting ahead."

Thinking back to those days when I was an extra, it’s really hard to look back.

At this moment, Ye Chen's WeChat message flashed.

It was the prestige from Li Xiaomeng.

It turns out that the Adidas promotional video shot by Ye Chen will be released soon.

This promotional video will be broadcast on major platforms and TV stations as soon as possible.

After Ye Chen received the news, a smile appeared on his face.

Because this promotional video is also what Ye Chen is looking forward to, and it can bring a lot of popularity to Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen quickly put away the phone.

After all, everyone is chatting and I am playing on my phone, which seems so inappropriate.

"Director Ye, is it really so dark to be an extra?"

After all, Hu Ke came from a major and played Fairy Sword as soon as he came out, so he is very popular.

He has never been favored, and is somewhat curious about this profession.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Of course, the world of extras is darker than you think. Let's put it this way, in the world of extras, many beautiful girls even sell their own bodies in order to play a role. Regarding the body, it can be said that many female group performers are lining up to find the group leader to unspoken rules."

"Where I lived at that time, there were some actresses who couldn't get out of acting, so they hung out with some third-rate gang leaders and directors, and even became mistresses. Some even started doing that kind of thing because they had no income. .”

Although Ye Chen didn't explain clearly, several other people also heard the meaning of Ye Chen's words.

"It turns out that group acting is so difficult."

At this time, several girls also started to sigh.

They are very lucky, because they all have a professional background, so they have not experienced anything like that.

Even Hu Ke was silent.

Ye Chen said: "This industry is really cruel. In front of money, many girls lower their heads and are even willing to sacrifice their bodies for a scene. Some people also approached me at that time, but I refused. Yes, because I also have a bottom line."

Tang Yan couldn't help but ask: "Yes, I also think that as an actor, you must have your own bottom line, otherwise you will sink. When I joined the entertainment industry, I also set a requirement for myself, that is, I must have my own bottom line. Bottom line.”

Hu Ke also said.

"Yeah, people say that the entertainment industry is a big dyeing vat, but I think as long as we keep ourselves clean and don't get polluted, isn't it okay?"

Although Hu Ke's idea was still a bit immature, Ye Chen knew that this was what Hu Ke had truly accomplished.

Among celebrities, Hu is the one with the least scandals.

"Actually, I think we can become a small circle, help each other, and support each other when we are in trouble. In this way, we will not be oppressed by those capitals and will not compromise with them."

"I think this is a good idea." Hu Ke also said excitedly.

"That's right. I've also heard that many celebrities have their own circles. How about you two, Brother Ye and Brother Hu, take the lead and set up a circle of our own? What do you think?"

Tang Yan also said.

"I think the idea is very good, what do you think, Ye Chen?" Hu Ke looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I also think this is a good idea. We can build a circle. We don't need too many people. Fame or anything else is not important. The most important thing is good character and matching personalities. As long as everyone If there is trouble, everyone can help as soon as possible. Whoever becomes popular in the future can support each other. If someone is in trouble, no one is allowed to look down on the other. I think the biggest problem in our circle is that everyone is busy and lacks people. consult."

Ye Chen also readily agreed to the suggestions of several people.

He did this, and he had already had such an idea.

Although Ye Chen cannot single-handedly make the entertainment industry free of hidden rules.

After all, there are certain laws in this world, and Ye Chen knows that he cannot break this law.

Many actresses are not threatened by unspoken rules, but do so voluntarily.

You can't control things like this.

Ye Chen knew very well that among the stars in front of him, apart from Yang Mi, who was already famous, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi had just graduated from college, so they were neither popular nor popular.

But Ye Chen knows it very well, because these are popular women with tens of millions in salary.

Therefore, establishing such a circle will play a great role in expanding his network and developing his future studio.

Hu Xie smiled and said, "In that case, let's drink to our circle."

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and clinked their glasses together.

"I will start a group, with the five of us at first, and we can invite other people later. First of all, my requirement for people who enter our group is that they must be clean and have a good personality. I don't like intrigues. As for helping, it's all about How about volunteering."

"And I recommend Ye Dao as our boss. I am the vice president, Yang Mi is also the president, and Tang Yan and Liu Shishi are the main people in charge. What do you think?"

Hu Ke directly assigned the following.

"of course can."

"no problem."

"Haha, we all follow the vice president's arrangements."

Several people agreed with a smile, and had no objections to Hu Ke's arrangement.

Soon, a WeChat group was established.

With the WeChat group, everyone seems to feel closer.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, Shi Shi, Tang Yan, you two don't have a studio yet, right?"

"Not yet. Several companies want to sign us now, but we are still considering it."

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan replied.

Ye Chen looked at the two people and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in coming to my studio?"

"Okay." Tang Yan readily agreed after hearing this.

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "Director Ye, you still have a studio."

Compared to Tang Yan, Liu Shishi is relatively more stable.

Hu Ke on the side smiled and said: "Director Ye, you are going a little too far. As soon as our company was established, you took advantage of the president's convenience and defrauded two beauties."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Let me tell you my conditions first. If it works, you can sign a contract. If you think it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. With an annual salary of 100 million, I can directly give you a 1000% share, but I can sign a contract for you." In the gambling agreement, if your annual income cannot reach million within three years, I can change it to six for you, and I want four."

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan were stunned when they heard Ye Chen's conditions.

This condition is really too favorable for them.

Of course, the reason why Ye Chen could offer such conditions was because of his own confidence.

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan are both actors with great potential. It won't take long for them to become first-line actresses.

By then, it will no longer be 1000 million, but even 40 or will be no problem.

Sure enough, the two people were immediately attracted by Ye Chen's words.

"With such good conditions, they are naturally willing to sign the contract."

Tang Yan said: "Brother Ye, I am willing to sign the contract. If nothing else, I will just focus on you and I am willing to work in your company."

"Brother Ye, if your conditions are really like this, I am also willing to sign the contract."

Liu Shishi thought for a moment before speaking.

Although Ye Chen's conditional basic salary is average, if it is divided into four or six, it is already very good for actors like them.

The conditions given by other companies are only %.

By comparison, the conditions provided by Ye Chen are indeed very favorable.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask my assistant to sign the contract for you tomorrow, and I will arrange resources for you to film in the future."

They don't have to worry about resources at all. After all, the films Ye Chen is currently filming are all classics.

Ye Chen was very happy. He signed two future big stars at once. This time he really made a profit.

In the future, just by relying on the thoughts of these two people, they can earn hundreds of millions of dollars for themselves. It can be said that they are making money while lying down.

Soon, the dishes came up.

Everyone also started to eat.

I have to say, the food in this restaurant is quite good.

Both the taste and service are very good.

The three girls also ate up a plate of food.

After the meal, several people chatted for a while before leaving.

In the early morning, Adi's promotional video has been released.

Although it is early in the morning, there are still many young people using Douyin.

Xiaoling is a young white-collar worker. She likes to make funny sounds at night when she has nothing to do.

Soon a video appeared.

It's Adidas' promotional video.

As the music played, Yang Ying appeared in the video.

Then came Yiyang Qianxi, and then Peng Yuyan. All the scenes were very beautiful.

Finally, the screen opened and Ye Chen walked out in ancient costume.

Seeing Ye Chen, Xiaoling immediately covered her mouth.

"This is too handsome."

Xiaoling immediately liked it and forwarded it in her circle of friends.

This kind of scene is played out in many places in the Dragon Kingdom.

Adi's backstage.

This Weibo also had 400 million clicks, and the reposts and comments exceeded one million.

Douyin’s data is also very impressive and even occupied the hot search headlines.

"Director, our video went viral." A staff member said excitedly.

Adi's promotional video was a huge hit.

When Ye Chen came up in the morning, he found that the Weibo circle had exploded, and the comments were all about Adidas' promotional video.

Ye Chen also became a hot search topic because of this popularity.

At this moment, looking at the data in the background, Adi's supervisor was very happy.

It can be said that the performance of this video on Liao platform is very strong.

The main reason why this video is so popular is Ye Chen in the finale.

Simply too handsome.

Even Peng Yuyan was suppressed by Ye Chen.

Many people who go to the right rate Ye Chen as the ceiling of ancient style.

At this time, the ancient style circle also exploded.

In the previous film "Legend of the Demon Cat" filmed by Ye Chen, Ye Chen's Li Bai image made many fans praise Ye Chen as the No. 1 ancient style.

Now that this promotional video has come out, the forum has exploded.

Even many ancient forums are discussing things about Ye Chen.

In a poll on the Gufeng Forum, Ye Chen ranked first with a high number of votes.

And Adidas' suits were quickly launched after this promotional video.

The pre-sale price was 1999, but in less than 10 minutes, all the pre-sale units were purchased.

This is an influence.

And the fastest-selling suit is Ye Chen's suit, compared to the others, it's much worse.

At this time, Li Xiaomeng also called.

Ye Chen heard Li Xiaomeng's surprised voice.

"Brother Ye, Adidas Company is here to find us."

"What do you want us to do?"

"They are willing to redraft the contract and customize retro-style clothes, and the endorsement fee reaches 4000 million per season per year."

Ye Chen felt slightly happy after hearing this.

Now Ye Chen has endorsed two brands, Hongxing and Adidas.

Advertising expenses alone amount to more than million a year.

However, Ye Chen was still surprised by Adi's generosity.

After all, this is equivalent to 1.2 million a year in endorsement fees.

Even after deducting taxes, Ye Chen still has more than 600 million yuan in endorsement fees.

"Haha, not only Adidas, but also Li Ning and Nike want to sign with us, especially Nike, which gave you 1.5 million in endorsement fees."

Li Xiaomeng was very excited when talking about this.

When Ye Chen endorsed before, these companies all looked arrogant.

But now, everyone is begging Ye Chen. This feeling of being slapped in the face is really great.

Ye Chen asked: "Do you think we should sign a contract later?"

"I think, apart from Hongxing, I only talk to Adi about the others. I think our endorsement fee is million a year, but it depends on how your endorsement sales are. If the sales are as good as they are now, it should be a problem." Not big."

"Two hundred million, this is a bit too exaggerated." Ye Chen said with a sigh.

Although he is very popular now, Ye Chen still feels that the endorsement fee of million is a bit exaggerated.

Even if the salary for my own filming is 1000 million for one movie, it still costs ten movies.

Li Xiaomeng smiled and said: "Brother Ye, you may not have thought that if Adidas's sales surge, with your current popularity, they will only earn more and more by signing you.
