Chapter 418: Endorsement of Korean trendy brands?

In early summer in Tokyo, Zhang Junyi dragged his suitcase to the backstreets of Shibuya, which still maintained the tranquility and comfort that was completely opposite to the main road.Zhang Junyi doesn't like those bustling areas very much, but enjoys the peace brought by this tranquility, which makes his heart calm down.

He walked leisurely in the back alleys, raising his Leica from time to time to take pictures of quiet street scenes.

Although China also has quiet and peaceful cities like this, such as Dali, Lijiang, Lugu Lake, etc.But where is the population base of China? Although such a place can give people a sense of tranquility, there will always be unexpected people entering the frame every time you raise your camera.

Relatively speaking, Tokyo is different. You can see overcrowding on the main streets, but you will only see a passerby on such back streets only occasionally.Just as Zhang Junyi was walking along these back streets, there was a light box advertisement waiting next to the entrance of an old building with the name of a restaurant written on it.
Zhang Junyi followed the sign and found the restaurant. He saw a fried goods shop in a residential building.As for fried food...as long as you don't eat it for a long time, you really want to eat it.In addition, the fried food here in the island country is very unique. Zhang Junyi entered a store very casually today. I guess this store is only known to some of the regular customers around it, right?
The fried food in the store is very cheap, including fried pork cutlets, fried chicken cutlets, fried shrimps, fried oysters, croquettes, etc. and they sell them very cheaply. It costs 650 yen to choose two types of fried food. Three types are 800 yen, four types are [-] yen.

This is a very cheap price in the Shibuya area of ​​Tokyo. One thousand yen is almost the price of a meal of ramen.Here you can eat four kinds of fried food, pork, chicken, oysters, plus a crab cream croquette.Of course, the portion won’t be particularly large, but ordering four fried foods is basically enough.

Sitting at the bar, Zhang Junyi listened to the sizzling sound of each piece of food entering the oil pan. Just the sound of frying made him feel excited.Fried food is something I haven’t eaten in a long time.

While the boss was frying Zhang Junyi's food, the restaurant's door curtain was opened again. While the boss was frying Zhang Junyi's food, he greeted the guests who came in: "Welcome."

Just as the boss greeted him, a short-haired girl wearing a shirt and long skirt, with hair just reaching her chin, walked in. The bar was L-shaped, and the main bar was already full of diners. Only Zhang Junyi was sitting there. He was the only one sitting at the side bar. She looked at the seat and sat next to Zhang Junyi, but they were one seat apart.

She looked at the menu written on the blackboard and said: "One croquette, one fried pork cutlet, one chicken cutlet, thank you."

After she placed her order, she didn't pay attention to Zhang Junyi sitting next to her. Instead, she took out her phone and scrolled through the menu while waiting for the boss to serve her meal.Zhang Junyi glanced at this woman when she was ordering food.Although he only saw her profile, Zhang Junyi saw her beauty.

Although the woman's hair reached the length of her chin, she pulled her hair behind her ears, revealing the side of her face.

However, Zhang Junyi couldn't keep staring at others, but with just such a startling glance, Zhang Junyi felt that this woman exuded an indescribable temperament.However, at this moment... Zhang Junyi's phone rang in his pocket. He saw that it was a domestic call and answered it: "Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Junyi? We are the 'NERDY' clothing brand."

Listening to the clothing brand mentioned by the other party, Zhang Junyi frowned and wondered where the brand came from?Isn't this a domestic mobile phone number?He thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that he saw this brand's store on the boulevard, so he said: "Well, this seems to be...a Korean brand, right?"

"Yes, we are a trendy Korean clothing brand. This time we would like to ask you to endorse our brand together with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon."

Because the other party speaks fluent Chinese, Zhang Junyi is still a little confused. It turns out that a Korean brand wants to use the popularity of him and Taeyeon to endorse their brand.So Zhang Junyi said: "That's it, I understand. I have to discuss it with my company in China. You can call me again in half an hour."

After Zhang Junyi hung up the invitation call from this brand, he called Taeyeon. What he said about the Chinese agency on the phone was all nonsense.But I just want to ask about Taeyeon's side, what is the cooperation method for the endorsement contract in Korea?
Just when Zhang Junyi called Taeyeon, the boss brought him the meal he ordered, which came with rice, vegetable salad, and a miso soup.

When the boss delivered the food, Zhang Junyi said thank you in fluent Japanese, and then the phone in his hand was connected: "What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

Listening to Zhang Junyi's question about Taeyeon, she found something strange. She answered naturally: "I'm recording. You interrupted my recording. You actually have the nerve to ask me why it took me so long to answer the phone?"

"Um, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are planning an album again, hehe~~"

"Why are you calling all of a sudden? I'm busy here?"

"That 'NERDY' asked us to represent him. Do you know about this?"

"How could I know that I'm recording? Don't you know that I have an agent? These things are handled by the agent. I just need to wait until the contract is negotiated and sign the contract!" Listening to Tai Yan's words made Zhang Junyi come back to his senses. Yes, isn't that the role of a brokerage company?Help artists negotiate all cooperation, and also promote Yiren under their company.It's just that Taeyeon is now taking the route of a singer, and she already has a very fixed fan base, both personally and from Girls' Generation.

Therefore, the company does not need to specifically promote Taeyeon, but if Taeyeon takes the route of an actor like Yoona, then the agency will need to do the promotion. After all, the competition in the actor circle is still very high.

There are many movie kings and movie queens in Korea, and there are also many young actors like Lin Yoon-ah who are good at acting and beautiful.In addition, it is really hard to find good scripts, so the agency needs to be pushed behind the scenes... Unless it is S or M who spends his own money to produce the TV series and uses his own company's artists.

Listening to Taeyeon's answer, Zhang Junyi twitched his lips: "Well... I just want to ask you, how are the endorsement fees for Korean brands generally calculated? After all, this is my first time receiving an endorsement from Korean brands. Here’s the endorsement contract.”

It turned out that they were asking about the endorsement fee. Taeyeon responded with a smile: "Endorsement fees are generally calculated based on the number of years. Some brands are signed once a year, and some brands are signed once every two years. What about the price of the contract fee? With your current level, I think it should be between [-] and [-] million. The specific contract period and amount require your agent to help you negotiate."

"You don't know where I am looking for an agent now. I have always been alone. Even when I went to participate in the filming of the show, I signed a contract with the TV station myself. (Kazikaz)"

While Zhang Junyi was talking on the phone, he couldn't help but take a bite of the pork chop in front of him. The sound of Kazikaz's voice was like the crispy sound of the pork chop.

Taeyeon heard the sound and said in confusion: "What sound? What are you going to eat again?"

Zhang Junyi responded casually: "Fried pork chop."

"A place where gunfire is set up?" The place Taeyeon mentioned was a pork chop restaurant featured in "Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant" that aired not long ago. It is quite popular now.There are people lining up early every morning.Their restaurant is said to be the best in Korean fried pork chops!Zhang Junyi's Suiyuan Restaurant is the "No. [-] Restaurant Recommendation List".

"What is the artillery site? I'm in Tokyo!!"

"Oh? You ran to Tokyo again?"

"Well, isn't the summer fireworks show about to start here? I came here to watch the fireworks show! Who knew I got a call from the 'NERDY' brand, so I thought of calling you to ask what's going on. .”

"Let me tell you, even if you don't join a brokerage company, you still need to find an agent to help you negotiate these cooperations. The best way is to set up a studio, so your taxes will be much lower."

"Don't cheat me. What kind of studio should I set up? I have never thought about how much money I will make. Although setting up a company is regarded as tax and I can pay less, the money belongs to the company, not to me personally. "

"Silly, after you set up a studio, doesn't the company belong to you? Eating, going on business trips, buying a house and a car, all these can be transferred to the public account. It's just a matter of waiting until the company runs out of money and goes bankrupt. You don't take out loans anyway, and you You only need to pay the agent’s fee. Now many artists are starting to use this method.”

Taeyeon's words really made Zhang Junyi a little excited: "Well, hearing you say that, I'm really a little moved."

And it seems that he can do the same in China. The tax rate of a company is much lower than that of an individual.Moreover, he does not take out loans and does not have any financial problems with the bank. In the future, he can offset a lot of taxes by buying a car by himself.

When the day comes when you no longer want to run the company, just announce the dissolution.After all, there is no financial entanglement between the company and the bank, so there will be no issue of asset mortgage or debt.Anyway, I only need to pay the salary of an agent.

"Stop asking exciting questions, do you want me to introduce you to an agent?"
