Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 166 Let our voices be heard by everyone
8 month 15 day.

After several rounds of consultations.

Pepsi finally agreed to Xu Ming's endorsement contract of 5 million a year.

Well, by the way, I also signed Yang Mi’s advertising endorsement contract.

For this purpose, Xu Ming specially asked for a day off from the crew to sign the contract.

Click!Click!
The flash lights came on, making the signing scene as bright as day.

"Congratulations, Xu, you will be the spokesperson for Pepsi from now on." The foreigner chattered.

The translator on the side translated it truthfully.

The people around also had an expression of honor.

Nowadays, if you can get an endorsement from an international brand like Pepsi, your status in the domestic entertainment industry will rise to a higher level.

"Congratulations to Pepsi for winning the competition with Coca-Cola. You will be glad for today's decision." Xu Ming smiled back.

The translator hesitated, she didn't know if these words were appropriate to convey.

The foreigner next to him frowned slightly and looked at the translator with dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, fluent English came out of Xu Ming's mouth, and he repeated it directly to the other party in English.

Just kidding, I don’t know how many volumes there are in the field of film and television editing.

In order to edit Hollywood movies, he forced himself to learn English, but who would have thought that his colleagues would go and do rap commentary.

The foreigners smiled when they heard this. Instead of being disgusted by Xu Ming's confidence, they admired it very much.

"I am already feeling thankful and hope our cooperation will continue next year," said the foreigner.

"That depends on whether your budget for endorsements will be higher." Xu Ming said with a smile.

According to the growth rate of the Chinese market, even if he maintains his current popularity, the price of the endorsement will increase accordingly.

What's more, he is confident that he can reach a higher level next year.

The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious.

PepsiCo is hoping that Xu Ming's endorsement fee will be higher next year, which means that their competition with Coca-Cola this time is the right choice.

After he signed, Yang Mi followed suit.

The latter was much more excited than Xu Ming, and his hand holding the pen was shaking.

"How is it? I guess I didn't treat you unfairly by signing you to Qiming?" Xu Ming turned around and said.

Although strictly speaking, the other party could have obtained this endorsement advertisement, they don't know about it.

He naturally took credit for it.

However, Da Mimi's endorsement price was raised a lot because of him.

"No, brother is the best~" Yang Mi said tenderly.

Ouch, that ending sound is so drawn out that it makes me numb.

It must be said that this person has the image of a strong woman, but in reality she is very good at acting like a little woman. She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

"Brother is so nice, so why don't you show any other appreciation?" Xu Ming teased.

"I prepared two sets of clothes at home, called Brilliant Colors..." Yang Mi whispered in Xu Ming's ear.

After saying that, the little fragrance breeze blew.

"What else?" Xu Ming said.

Yang Mi was stunned and asked hesitantly: "What else?"

"There is also a schedule from October to February in the second half of the year."

"We have to try to finish filming "Palace" before February. We have already negotiated with Xiangnan TV about "Startling by Each Step" and it will be broadcast in September. You can follow Yu Zheng and others to promote it then." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Yang Mi resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Her eyes were almost thread-like, but the other party didn't forget to talk about work.

Feeling Da Mimi's resentful gaze, Xu Ming continued, "And the song I promised you, I will write it for you this time."

"Brother, you are so nice to me, I will feel embarrassed." Yang Mi blinked, and a look of alertness flashed in her eyes.

Men generally can't stand this kind of retreat in order to advance.

"Forget it, I'll give this song to Ni Ni." Xu Ming said immediately.

"Hey, how come you don't have any fun at all?"

Yang Mi was embarrassed and annoyed. If it wasn't the wrong occasion, she would have wanted to bite the other person right now.

She does not feel threatened by other female artists in the company.

Only Ni Ni could make her feel like a thorn in her back.

The latter made her debut in a school beauty contest and was directly discovered by Xu Ming from school and brought to Qiming Entertainment, so she can be considered a legitimate descendant.

Her first work was "So Young", which broke the box office record of domestic films in mainland China, and she also played the leading female role.

I wonder how many actresses would envy such a starting point.

On the other hand, she is quite famous, but her fame is limited to TV dramas, and she has no resources for movies.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi bit her lip and said, "After filming "Palace Lock Heart Jade" next year, I also want to work with you on a movie."

"It depends on your performance tonight." Xu Ming said ambiguously.

The broadcast of the two TV series "Startling by Each Step" and "Palace Lock Heart Jade" should be able to push Da Mimi to the forefront of TV dramas.

By then, the other party's fame can be considered for monetization.

……

night.

Xu Ming fully felt what it meant that the purple sister was very charming.

Red is good too.

After he was busy for an hour, he went to take a shower.

The phone lights up.

Yang Mi swore that she had seen it accidentally.

The words "Tang Yan" on the key made her heart stop for a moment.

How her and Xu Ming's story unfolds is closely related to each other.

"Brother, someone sent you a text message."

Yang Mi shouted, but only the rustling sound of water was heard. Xu Ming seemed not to hear it.

She hesitated and said, "I replied for you."

If you don’t respond, it means you agree.

She picked up her phone and replied.

【Tang Yan: Are you asleep? 】

【Xu Ming: He fell asleep.】

Yang Mi put the phone back to its place, feeling uneasy.

She was asserting her sovereignty.

She doesn't care who appears around Xu Ming in the future, except that it can't be her 'best friend'.

But Tang Yan didn't reply.

Wait until Xu Ming comes out.

Yang Mi immediately confessed: "Brother, Yanyan sent you a text message just now, and I subconsciously thought it was from my own phone, so I replied. Brother, you won't blame me, right?"

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, picked up the phone and looked at it, then chuckled and said, "It was sent by mistake. Would you send 'he's asleep'?"

Yang Mi was stunned. She had not expected this and immediately opened her mouth to explain.

"Turn around and stick your head up." Xu Ming said in a deep voice.

Yang Mi turned around and did as she was told, feeling aggrieved, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

In her opinion, the other party's action was not to take it seriously and was just to handle it with care.

pia!

The applause was loud.

Yang Mi shuddered.

"You were able to use my phone to reply to text messages today. I dare not even think about what you will do with it next time. How do you think you should punish me?" Xu Ming said slowly.

"I know I was wrong and I will listen to my brother." said Da Mimi.

"In this case……"

Xu Ming smiled lewdly, and then said: "Then as a punishment, I will let you open a studio in the future, and the company will hold 51% of the shares."

Yang Mi was ready to welcome him. She was stunned when she heard the other party's words. Shouldn't this be a shameful punishment?
She subconsciously wanted to turn her head, but her body was held tightly, so she could only talk to the other party in a humiliating posture.

"No, you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

"What can I take advantage of you? If I want to, it will only take a few minutes to make Ni Ni, Nazha and others more popular than you." Xu Ming said.

This is a bit of bragging. Da Mimi’s success is not just the result of resources.

But she herself doesn't know it.

Following Xu Ming's momentum, it would not be difficult for him to really focus all his resources on other people to replace her.

Take the Pepsi endorsement advertisement for example. It’s okay to choose Yang Mi, and it’s also okay for Xu Ming to push Ni Ni.

But Yang Mi was not stupid, and retorted: "You are so powerful, why are you still thinking about the shares of my studio, which is at most 49%."

Even though it's just a 2% difference, it's related to who will be the dominant figure in her personal studio in the future.

With the opening of Fan Bingbing's personal studio, other domestic entertainment stars have followed suit and it has become a trend.

"Because I plan to make you more famous, and I want to rush into the box office rankings next year. If you agree, I can give you the leading female role in one of the movies."

Xu Ming paused and said, "Otherwise, Ni Ni signed a 20:80 ten-year contract with the company, why would I spend resources instead of promoting her?"

"Don't tell me it's because of our brief romance. I don't lack women, and you don't have any gold trimmings."

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that the 2:8 contract between Ni Ni and the company would be changed to 4:6 after the Chinese New Year.

Originally, Xiaoyuan wanted to just give it a 50-50 split, but he rejected it.

Don't feed too much appetite at one time.

As for Yang Mi, he had no intention of letting her go since she signed Qi Ming's contract.

"I, I need to think about it. Don't you think it's a bit of a downer to talk about this in this situation?"

Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Xu Ming resentfully.

pia!

"My side has the best view." Xu Ming slapped him, rubbing his hands and saying, "I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you don't, it will be invalid."

"What can three seconds do?" Yang Mi said anxiously.

"three."

"You're being too bossy. This isn't fair."

"two."

"How about a different punishment? I'll do whatever you want. Didn't you want to be punished from behind before..."

"one."

There was no emotion in Xu Ming's tone.

He knew Yang Mi, who was very smart.

The smarter a person is, the more likely he is to test other people's bottom line.

But he also believes that smart people are capable of weighing the pros and cons in a short period of time.

“One movie is not enough.”

Yang Mi accepted her fate and started bargaining.

Xu Ming raised his lips and said, "That depends on the response to your first film. If the response is good, there will naturally be a second film."

"What if it's not good?" Yang Mi couldn't help but ask.

"It can't be bad to cooperate with me."

Xu Ming paused. Even if it was not good, it would only be the other party's problem. The blame could not be on him anyway.

Do you think you are a domineering president?
Yang Mi complained in her heart, but when she thought about it carefully, the other party was not much worse than the domineering president in the TV dramas.

The only difference is that in the other person's eyes, there is never any Cinderella, but only rows and rows of princesses.

And so far, Xu Ming's movies have never failed.

She bit her lip and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Then, she looked horrified: "You, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you just promise me to come behind you?"

"Get lost."

……

With the signing of the Pepsi endorsement.

Other endorsements have also been confirmed one after another.

For example, Vancl has paid Qiming Network to cooperate with the promotion of "Vancl Style" on the Internet.

That’s right, Xu Ming also talked about the business of online promotion, which was killing two birds with one stone.

Payments are deposited one by one.

Qiming Entertainment's cash flow has never been so abundant.

meeting room.

"I have sent out an announcement that Qiming Entertainment and Qiming Network can start recruiting talents. If there are any good projects that need investment, please pay attention to them as well."

Xu Ming paused and said, "How is the online publicity business going?"

"Currently, the company is responsible for the online publicity of 32 artists in the industry, and the number of artists is growing rapidly every month. Among them, first-tier singers include Wang Fei and Chen Yixun, and second-tier actors include Hao Qi and Hu Jun..."

Zhuo Wei immediately stood up and reported. He is now the head of the Internet Publicity Department, and none of his former partners and subordinates have ever competed with him.

"I remember there were only a little over 10 people last month? And they were mainly introduced by Chen Jiaying." Xu Ming frowned.

"The breaking point was after your movie So Young broke the box office record." Zhuo Wei reminded.

Oh, it means giving out red envelopes while trying out the company’s business.

After all, Xu Ming seldom appears in major events and variety shows, so other artists don't have many opportunities to interact with him, but there are many who want to make friends with him.

Whether it is a movie written by Xu Ming or a song he composed.

In the eyes of people in the circle, they are all hot commodities.

"That's a pretty good idea. I asked people from Sohu and Sina to come over and told them I had an Internet project and wanted to work with them," said Xu Ming.

"it is good……"

As soon as Tang Sheng nodded, he realized something was wrong.

Internet project?
He looked at his boss in confusion, but the latter showed no intention of explaining, so he had no choice but to swallow it back.

Leave it to the people from Sina and Sohu to think about it.

"Also, I have something to announce. Next year I plan to top the domestic box office rankings." Xu Ming said in a deep voice.

This big plan would be difficult to accomplish by himself, the entire company would have to get involved, so there was no need to keep it secret.

Everyone was confused again.

Topping the box office charts?

They understand the literal meaning, but once they understand it, they stop understanding it.

"Not to mention Stephen Chow's sweep of the top five, but at least he swept the top three, and more than six of the top ten."

Xu Ming spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

It just sounded like a thunder in everyone's ears.

Hey brother, how dare you think that you can take the top three spots of the year?

The big-budget projects revealed this year alone include "Warring States" with an investment of 1.5 million yuan, "Guan Yunchang", and "A Chinese Ghost Story" with a reported investment of million yuan.

Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" was invested with 1.8 million yuan, and Bona's "Legend of White Snake" and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" were also big productions with investment of over million yuan.

Not to mention the sequels of many big IPs, such as "Painted Skin", "A Chinese Odyssey 2011", and "The Heroines of the Yang Family: Military Orders as Strong as Mountains".

A lot of domestic blockbusters with big investments, big productions and big casts.

Even Stephen Chow at his peak did not dare to make such a boast.

Only Xu Ming knew that the so-called big productions here were actually just some fancy things that looked good but were useless.

The popularity of "Aftershock" and "Let the Bullets Fly" caused these domestic film and television companies to misjudge their own strength, and they all suffered losses.

"Boss, should we take a long-term view on this?" Tang Sheng said stiffly.

"I'm not asking, I'm telling you that everyone in the company must work towards the goal."

Xu Ming looked around, his eyes passing through everyone's confused faces. "Qiming Entertainment has been established for two years, and I have been in the industry for two years. I don't just want them to see us and hear us."

“It’s our voice that everyone should listen to carefully.”
