Chapter 166: The Company(1/2)
Qian Liangyi did not dare to let Guan Chen drive, so he drove Guan Chen to the performance class.
As soon as Guan Chen got in the car, he was busy rummaging around in the car. He took out everything in the storage box and fiddled with it, and then reached out and grabbed something under the seat.
Qian Liangyi felt very guilty and glanced out of the corner of his eye. Even though he knew that there would be no strange things in the car, he was still very afraid. This kind of fear was just like being reminded by Guan Chen at the airport last year to be careful.
After unloading his luggage, he was terrified every time he went through the airport security check, fearing that there would be some prohibited items in the suitcase for no apparent reason. Because of the unstable variable of "criminal", his innocence was always in a state of uncertainty until it was completely investigated.
"What are you looking for?" Qian Liangyi asked dryly.
"Eavesdropping device." Guan Chen stared at the speaker, as if he was wondering whether he should dismantle it and check inside.
"..." Qian Liangyi really wanted to drive Guan Chen out of the car.
"It's just a joke. The first thing you need to do when looking for a bug is not to mention it, and even more pretend you didn't find it after you find it." Guan Chen stretched out with a smile and said, "This is the same as anti-tracking.
A truth."
Qian Liangyi felt like black blood was flowing into his ears, and his thoughts were a little unclean again.
Subconsciously looking at the rearview mirror, Qian Liangyi saw a car following closely behind him.
This guy's tracking skills are really not that good...
Qian Liangyi was sure that they were being followed.
The person following them was Liu Lihao.
When they left the studio just now, Guan Chen refused to let him get in the car. Liu Lihao shamelessly drove a car and followed him persistently.
Qian Liangyi reminded Guan Chen: "You stay away from that person behind him, he is not a good person. This time, most of the time he came here for advertising endorsements or something to earn introduction fees."
Guan Chen answered with his nose and didn't care much. He picked up music albums one by one and prepared to listen to them one by one.
What's playing on the speakers right now is a girl group's song, which is full of energy.
"When the time comes, no matter how outrageous the price he offers you, don't believe him."
In order to make Guan Chen understand the seriousness of the matter, Qian Liangyi began to tell Guan Chen some inside stories about advertising endorsements.
"Most luxury goods rely on connections in the fashion industry. If non-A-list celebrities want to be endorsed, they seek resources upwards and promote themselves. In fact, the endorsement fees are not much. Those who can really get sky-high endorsement fees are often those who
No-name brands appear out of nowhere. This is backward compatibility. Celebrities receive sky-high endorsement fees and are selling their reputation and fans."
In the sweet or youthful songs of idol singers, Qian Liangyi said: "Generally, such idol artists have a short shelf life, and they only have a few years to make money, so they receive the most endorsements from unknown brands. If you want to know which artists and
Companies are the most ruthless in cutting off fans, and you can basically tell by looking at which brands they endorse.”
Guan Chen asked: "Is Yao Zhiyu and Pan Xu's [Nebula] like this too?"
Qian Liangyi said: "[Blue Whale] is a relatively rare company with good looks. It is not so cruel to artists and fans, and has a far-sighted view. Several of their groups are in their thirties and forties, and they have not disbanded.
Those who engage in side jobs engage in side jobs, move behind the scenes, then move behind the scenes, and then release an album every few years to meet fans. The money will flow steadily, and the relationship will be tied up for most of one's life. This is the way of smart people."
Guan Chen nodded and began to look at the gas station receipts in the car.
Qian Liangyi returned to the original topic: "Do you have any brands or products that you are interested in?"
Guan Chen’s ability to carry goods is actually very strong.
In the past half year, Guan Chen has driven the sales of many products through the short videos and small classes he posted online. It is a blessing for the agency to have such an artist with strong sales ability, and business negotiations will be much easier.
, there are also many opportunities to win the favor of big brands. Unfortunately, the goods Guan Chen brings are very unpopular, even partial. They are either strong ropes, some kind of fire extinguishers, and even hardware wrenches and hammers.
Qian Liangyi initially hoped that Guan Chen could add some mainstream products, such as clothing and drinks. Guan Chen listened, so in the later video, he used pants from that clothing brand to test the sharpness of the blade.
Use that beverage brand's orange juice to make napalm (both of which were stopped by Xie Jinzhu). Qian Liangyi never dared to interfere with Guan Chen's creation again.
"Can you get me an image ambassador who cooperates with the government?" Guan Chen asked.
Qian Liangyi rolled his eyes and said, "No!"
He didn't understand why Guan Chen was so obsessed with this kind of public welfare and government cooperation endorsement.
Image ambassadors are more difficult to come by than advertising endorsements for national brands. Popularity is just one of the criteria, image, moral character, reputation, works, popularity... are all considered.
Accepting this kind of endorsement for a guy like Guan Chen, who doesn't know when he'll get into the game, is basically asking for death and falling into a trap, like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, or a mouse jumping around in front of a cat.
"It's almost November." Guan Chen suddenly sighed.
"What happened in November?" Qian Liangyi said before he remembered, "Oh, yes, November is your birthday."
"November, "Extreme Man", [Wanted in the City] will start for the second time soon." Guan Chen slowly grinned, showing a very dangerous smile: "Over there, we should prepare for a shameful show.
It’s been a year. Then I’ll make a bet with those gangsters. If I win, they’ll get me an ambassador, Dangdang.”
After hearing this, Qian Liangyi could only fulfill the obligations that every law-abiding citizen should fulfill, and advised: "Well, gambling is not good..."
"What's wrong?" Guan Chen said with a smile, "Every time you ask for leave to be lazy, aren't you just betting on whether I can catch you?"
Qian Liangyi was speechless and gave up communicating. He just hoped that the police officers would not lose.
The car stopped in front of [Xing Yan Performance Training Class].
Qian Liangyi had not been here for a long time because of the post-traumatic stress disorder caused by the acting genius of the Xing family class. He found that this place was very different from the ungrateful place in his memory.
First of all, the signboard is different.
The signboard of [Xing Yan Performance Training Class] has been made old.
Yes, it's old. The words "good" make it look like a century-old store, with a sense of history.
A banner was hung outside the wall of the floor that belonged to the acting class, which read:
"Congratulations to our classmate [Guan Chen] for winning a box office of 1.6 billion with [Zhang Jingsheng] with his debut film "Police Story"!"
Downstairs, several inexperienced girls raised their heads and pointed at [Zhang Jingsheng]’s name. They were shocked that Zhang Jingsheng was also a student in the acting class?!
Qian Liangyi sighed after seeing this.
After parking the car, he walked upstairs with Guan Chen.
Many passers-by who came to visit along the way were very excited after seeing Guan Chen. They shouted "Brother Chen! Brother Chen!" and surrounded Guan Chen, asking for autographs or photos.
Guan Chen was very talkative and satisfied them one by one. However, he was very particular about where he stood. He stood on the stairs and asked everyone to stand at the bottom of the stairs, always keeping three steps apart.
Liu Lihao came out at some point, pretended to be an agent, stood between Guan Chen and passers-by, and shouted loudly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our brother Chen has something to do now. Right?"
Yes, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, we are all in the same class, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, this is our school, we can't run away."
As expected, everyone stopped surrounding Guan Chen. Some passers-by were attracted by the hints in the words and began to make impulsive purchases, planning to follow them upstairs to have a look.
Liu Lihao looked at Guan Chen asking for credit.
Guan Chen nodded expressionlessly, without comment.
Liu Lihao was so happy that he followed Guan Chen obediently and stopped showing any unnecessary courtesy.
Qian Liangyi frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He always felt that what Liu Lihao wanted was far bigger than the endorsement fee.
A group of people arrived at the acting class.
Just like the outside of the building, the interior of the performance class has also been decorated.
First of all, "Police Story" and "Black Dragon 2" were prominently hung on the [Student Works Wall].
The other wall is filled with photos, all of which are photos of Xing Yan and some well-known artists, including movie kings and queens, and singers and queens.
Seeing these photos, passers-by who didn't know the truth were dazzled and moved with emotion. They marveled at Xing Yan's wide network of contacts and felt that there must be a bright future for him to learn acting here.
Guan Chen's arrival was warmly welcomed by the students in the hall.
It was the break in Wu Meng's comedy class at this time.
Guan Chen grabbed a student and asked if Little Bear was here. The student shook his head and answered no.
Guan Chen nodded and was not in a hurry to trick Teacher Xing into joining the wedding alliance. When the class started again, he walked into the classroom, found a corner and began to listen.
Qian Liangyi also listened together.
Next to him, Liu Lihao worked in the variety show circle and was considered a half-comedian. Naturally, he recognized Wu Meng, the comedy master of the year. He said, "Teacher Xing, can you invite the master to teach?"
Qian Liangyi ignored him.
In the recent hit movie "Police Story", Wu Meng played a minor role.
In the movie, Wu Meng is still the one who can make people laugh just by showing his face.
But in reality, Wu Meng is a slightly silent person with a stingy smile.
This is certainly related to the ups and downs he has experienced in life, but at the same time Qian Liangyi also understands that for people like Wu Meng, who has been acting in comedies for most of his life, everything in the world can be made funny. However, once a person discovers that everything is funny
When, it means that we understand - everything that is ridiculous equals everything that is absurd and meaningless. Many comedians are depressed because they see too clearly and think too deeply.
On the stage, Wu Meng is giving a lecture:
“If a drama wants to establish and develop drama, it must have a solid logic so that the plot can advance layer by layer.
Comedy is different. The drama of comedy does not rely on solid logic, but relies on a certain degree of exaggeration and coincidence. Because of exaggeration and coincidence, to a certain extent, the drama of comedy is stronger than that of drama. This kind of drama
The absurdity produced by drama is the key to making the audience find it funny."
Wu Meng asked everyone to play a game. The students spoke one after another and used Solitaire to make up a story together to see how the story would turn out.
Start from the last row.
