Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World
Chapter 1138 Isn’t this appropriate?
After finishing breakfast, Wei Yu tidied up quickly and went out, driving his Santana directly towards Zhengyangmen.
Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu have been doing very well these past few years. Because they are related to the Zhao family by marriage, although Zhao Cheng can't give them any substantial help, they have avoided a lot of trouble just by relying on Zhao Cheng's name.
Especially in Beiping, where there are countless high-ranking officials and nobles, it's easy to be targeted by some people if you don't have connections.
However, because of Zhao Cheng's connections, no one in either the legitimate or criminal world dared to provoke them.
So their business grew bigger and bigger, even surpassing the business of Han Chunming, who lived just a few alleys away.
Wei Yu was somewhat surprised that they were now venturing into the clothing industry.
"Uncle Cai, how did you come up with the idea of having me as your spokesperson?" Wei Yu asked Cai Quanwu with some curiosity.
"Wei Yu, you're a well-known actor in mainland China! Especially your portrayal of Zhao Zilong of Changshan, which is deeply ingrained in people's minds! We make men's clothing, and we're relatives, so who else could we turn to if not you!" Cai Quanwu said with a smile, pulling Wei Yu's hand and sitting him on the sofa.
"You're quite the schemer! No wonder my dad said he'd never learn your trick of playing dumb to outsmart others!" Wei Yu said with a smile.
"Hey, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Your Uncle Cai is the most honest person! How can you say he's pretending to be weak while actually being strong!" Cai Quanwu immediately pretended to be angry and said.
"You're kidding me. Just like your cousin Chef He, he looks honest but he's very shrewd! Only Sha Zhu is truly honest!" Wei Yu said with a smile.
"Hey, let's not talk about that. He Daqing is a good-for-nothing, and he married a spendthrift wife. Let's not talk about him! I've called you here today for no other reason than to ask you to help me shoot some promotional videos. I'll give you 500,000 yuan over five years. What do you think?" Cai Quanwu clearly didn't want to argue with Wei Yu anymore, so he directly stated his price.
"Wow, you're really going all out! 100,000 a year?" Although Wei Yu didn't care about the amount of money, he had to do it because of Jingping's sister-in-law's influence.
But he didn't expect that Cai Quanwu would actually be willing to pay money? And 100,000 yuan a year? He knew that the average endorsement fee for mainland celebrities was only tens of thousands of yuan, and this was already considered a high price.
They just wear their clothes, take a few photos, maybe a short video, and that's it. They can just take the money and leave.
What follow-up tasks? There are none at all, and there are no obligations to fulfill. Basically, you just need to stop endorsing similar products.
It's safe to say that this money was earned incredibly easily! And Cai Quanwu was actually willing to spend 500,000? How could this not surprise Wei Yu?
“Oh dear, I heard from Jingping that endorsement contracts like ours, if they were for some celebrities from Mingzhu, could easily cost 200,000 a year, and even then, it might not be possible to hire them! Uncle knows that this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for you, but you also know that although your Aunt Xu and I have made some money over the years, we've also expanded our business quite a bit, so please don't think that the money is too little!” Cai Quanwu said.
"Haha, Uncle Cai, what are you saying? You're my thirteenth brother's father-in-law. How could I not help you if you need something? Besides, your price isn't low. No problem, you say what to do and we'll do it. I have no objections," Wei Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Wei Yu! Uncle Cai is extremely grateful!" Cai Quanwu said excitedly.
He and Xu Huizhen had discussed getting Wei Yu involved, but Xu Huizhen didn't believe they could persuade Wei Yu to do it. Firstly, Wei Yu's current fame in the industry was too high, and secondly, they felt Wei Yu wouldn't be interested in such a small amount of money.
Although their daughter married Zhao Weinong, they couldn't possibly let his brother do a losing business. As business people, they knew all too well the rules of the business world.
However, Cai Quanwu believed that as long as he told Wei Yu, he would definitely come. There was no other reason than that the Zhao family's child was recognizing relatives!
Although they were just his sister-in-law's parents, they were still elders. Wei Yu couldn't refuse an elder's request, especially since he was also giving them money.
Although the Zhao family didn't think much of the money, it was already an astronomical sum based on current wage levels.
Just as Cai Quanwu had expected, Wei Yu came and agreed. Cai Quanwu liked relatives who were loyal and righteous like this.
Throughout the afternoon, Wei Yu, under the arrangement of the photographer found by Cai Quanwu, took many photos and short commercials.
It wasn't until evening that he finished his workday. After politely declining Cai Quanwu's offer to treat him to dinner, he took the money Cai Quanwu gave him and went home.
Of course, we went back to the old house, since Ah Fen is still there.
As Wei Yu walked in carrying a bag of money, everyone in the family turned their attention to him.
"Fifteenth Brother, did you rob a bank?" Wei Lin ran to Wei Yu's side, squinted her eyes, and asked with a smile.
"Little girl, you're talking nonsense. Your fifteenth brother isn't short of money. Why would I rob a bank? This is what your fifteenth brother earned this afternoon!" Wei Yu said with a smile, patting Wei Lin's head.
"Really? You earned so much in one afternoon? Can you share some with me? I only get two yuan a day for pocket money, which is really too little!" Wei Lin made a sticky finger gesture towards Wei Yu and said with a smile.
"Okay, here's one, take it and spend it!" Wei Yu pulled out a newly issued 100-yuan bill and handed it to Wei Lin. It wasn't that Wei Yu couldn't give more, but if he gave her 100, Wei Lin could spend it however she wanted. Any more? Then Wei Lin would probably get the money today, and her fourth aunt would probably take it away tonight, ostensibly to save it for her.
These are all lessons learned through blood and tears. It's only because the eldest sister got married that they would have given more than half of their New Year's money to her every year.
Although the eldest sister would always buy a lot of delicious food after taking their New Year's money, and all the siblings would eat together, it never felt as fun as spending it all by themselves. It's a pity they weren't as happy as their younger siblings are now!
"Why did you give her so much money today? If you give it to her today, tomorrow that hundred will be used to buy her pretty jewelry or new clothes!" Xiuzhi couldn't help but say, looking at her youngest daughter's smug expression.
"Alright, that's pocket money for the youngest child, let her spend it if she wants! We're not short of money, why be so strict with the kids? Forgot what Cheng said, girls can't be short of money, otherwise they might get tricked out of a string of candied hawthorns in the future!" Tian Dan said with a smile, stopping Xiuzhi who wanted to get up and lecture her daughter.
“That’s right, Fourth Aunt, don’t worry about it. The money Wei Yu gives to my little sister is just pocket money. It’s fine!” Afen chimed in.
