The craziest little artist ever

Chapter 179
"Humph~"

Tang Yan got up and glanced at Zhou Le, wrinkled his nose, and slipped away with a bucket of fried chicken wings, trying to trick me?no way.

This guy is really handsome!

However, he had to listen to what he said, Sister Shuang said.

She also said that Zhou Le was a bad guy, and he would flirt with pretty women whenever he saw a beautiful woman, so Tang Yan had to be on guard.

Tang Yan had been bullied miserably during this time. When Fan Shuangshuang handed her an olive branch, her first reaction was, huh?Even the top girls are going to trick me?
I really have nothing left, no money, no resources, no endorsement, no boyfriend...

However, after receiving the real gold and silver resources, Tangtang finally believed in Shuangshuang's sincerity, so she went to meet Fan Shuangshuang.

Zhou Le knew about this matter, and Fan Shuangshuang complained to Zhou Le afterwards, saying that Tang Yan looked beautiful, but it was a pity that his appearance was also traded for his IQ, and it was very difficult to communicate with her.

After Fan Shuangshuang's suggestion, Tang Yan realized that Sugarman Films had failed.

Under the impact of capital, Sugar Man's self-proclaimed, self-produced and self-marketed film and television model is almost unplayable, and the number and quality of dramas produced every year are seriously declining.

My lord, times have changed...

This company does not allow its own artists to take on outside dramas, which seriously restricts the development of its artists!

At the moment when variety shows are popular and traffic is king, sugar people don’t have much variety show resources yet. Gu Nali’s participation in "The Idol is Coming" was only successful because of He Jiong’s hard work. Other artists hardly appear on any variety shows.

Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Guna Liza and other stars are all ready to leave when the contract expires, but Tang Yan is a fool who doesn't know anything.

She is still waiting for the next play, and has been waiting for more than four months.

At this time, Fan Shuangshuang found her.

Sister Shuang was distributing resources during this time, but found that Gu Naliza, Wang Ou and Cheng Xiao couldn't afford it alone, so she took the opportunity to win over Tang Yan who was cheated by Yang Mi.

The top resources and top luxury contacts in the entertainment industry are in the hands of those people, such as Fan Shuangshuang, Li Shuangshuang, Zhang Ziyi, etc. They usually eat the big heads by themselves, and then distribute the rest to their own people, and they will never leak it to Yang Mi , Yang Beibi compared them.

In addition to not letting the fat and water flow into outsiders' fields, there is another reason that they cannot be raised by high-level resources.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Beibi has the resources of the leader Huang, and Yang Mi has the desperate energy similar to Fan Shuangshuang, but they still can't stand up to the top actresses, because they can't get the top resources.

Take top luxury endorsements as an example.

Yang Mi only has Versace and Estee Lauder, and the other endorsement brands are mediocre, while Yang Beibi only has Dior and Gucci.

Because Huang Xiaoming is Gucci's first Chinese spokesperson.

That's enough for the two of them to make waves in domestic entertainment, and many viewers think they are top female stars.

On the other hand, for Fan Shuangshuang, there are L'Oreal Paris, Cartier, LV, Moët & Chandon, Chopard, Montblanc...these are top luxury brands, while other brands such as Pasha, Adidas, and Pechoin are considered ordinary brands.

Three of the four major sponsors of the Cannes Film Festival, L'Oreal Paris, Chopard Jewellery, Moët & Chandon, and Renault, are endorsed by Fan Shuangshuang. Could she not be the brightest star on the Cannes red carpet?

Eight sets of high-end dresses are already very restrained.

How badly she was blackmailed on the red carpet on the Internet at the beginning, it can reflect how much the domestic entertainment female stars hate her.

In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, high-end endorsements are a symbol of coffee and status, vulgar and philistine, but this is commercial interest.

Nine out of ten of the high-profile celebrities in the circle who claim to be the most luxurious endorsers are bragging and forcing themselves to put gold on their faces. The vast majority of celebrities are just fake spokespersons such as brand partners, appraisers, and promotional ambassadors.

Besides, Tang Yan, she originally had Valentino's high luxury, but was robbed later. Some time ago, Di Reliba began to wear Valentino to check in various events, which was a campaign before officially becoming a spokesperson.

Tang Yan is miserable... Now she only has one Swarovski left, which is at best a mid-range luxury brand.

That idiot Gu Na Liza still has Tiffany Jewelry as an endorsement, how do you say that?
No matter whether Xianjian is beautiful or not, she is the worst.

Of course, Fan Shuangshuang would not give this top-level endorsement resource to others, and the brand would not agree to it, not even Zhou Le.

However, other resources derived and attracted from this, such as film and television dramas, commercial activities, brand promotion and other resources can be shared, such as luxury new product launch events, etc., you need to invite some celebrities, and you can give suggestions if you invite someone to speak for you of.

Tang Yan's food was delicious this time around.

In return, she only needs to shoot a song MV for Zhou Le, and by the way, play a supporting role in Zhou Le's new movie, and she will be paid.

The film's schedule has not yet been set, but considering the shrinking production plan of Sugar Man Pictures, it is almost impossible to hit the schedule.

In addition, I hope Tang Yan can consider signing with Fan Shuangshuang's company after the contract expires.

Starting from setting up a studio for Zhou Le, Fan Shuangshuang accidentally discovered a path to build an entertainment empire.

It is to recruit stars such as Gu Naliza and Tang Yan, help them set up studios, and then integrate resources and distribute benefits to form an entertainment business matrix, and then use these stars to get involved in film and television, variety shows, music and other fields, which can be attacked and defended.

Isn't this better than Yang Mi and Yang Beibi's plastic group of girlfriends?

Tang Yan didn't immediately agree to Fan Shuangshuang, she was still hesitating, very cautious, because...she didn't understand.

And you can't ask the manager, that's Sugar Man's people.

Now, Tang Yan is eating fried chicken wings and walking towards the dressing room, thinking about the short video company that Zhou Le mentioned in his heart, but he can't figure out what the future of this kind of application is.

It... costs traffic!
Who dares to use an APP full of videos?Unless it is used at home connected to WiFi, it is better to watch TV series and variety shows of Qiyi Video.

I always feel that Zhou Le is going to be cheated to death by that company called Character Beat.

It’s better to have more endorsements. Tang Yan learned from Fan Shuangshuang that top brands such as Gucci, Rolex, Prada, Bulgari, Dunhill, Lafite, and Lamborghini have already contacted Zhou Le, but Zhou Le is still "investigating" them .

Among them, Bulgari was directly rejected by Zhou Le because it insulted Chinese history.

Tang Yan almost died laughing, this is the first time he heard that a celebrity inspects a brand.

I heard that the reason why Rolex came to find Zhou Le was because Zhou Le was wearing a Rolex watch, and it was on Weibo’s hot search twice because of this watch, and it was the first time he wore this watch in the Fast Boy Finals The second time is the first photo with Fan Shuangshuang wearing this watch after the official announcement.

Therefore, Rolex recognized the commercial value of Zhou Le.

Although Tang Yan felt that Zhou Le was too cautious, he was still very envious. Top-notch brands have their own attractiveness, and Fan Shuangshuang didn't attract these top-notch brands to him.

She came to her place in the dressing room, and the makeup artist came to communicate with Tang Yan with the design drawing.

Tang Yan: "I don't understand what you're talking about, it's all about beauty."

Makeup artists give up on communication.

Yang Mi put on makeup and pretended to pass by: "You still eat fried chicken? Tangtang, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

Tang Yan: "My Valentino."

Yang Mi pretended not to hear: "Tang Yan, how many looks do you have today? Three? Why are your costumes and jewelry so gorgeous, while mine are so rough?"

Tang Yan: "My Valentino."

Yang Mi curled his lips and left: "You are Mrs. Xianglin, surnamed Tang?"

Look, the bad guys are justified.

Tang Yan gritted his teeth and thought, what if I really turn to Fan Shuangshuang and ask her to help me grab Yang Mi's endorsement, Versace and Estee Lauder are very fragrant, and my Valentino...

After being scolded for ten years, she finally became a fashionista, but she was robbed within a short time of endorsement.

No one can understand Tang Yan's resentment.

When she goes to events now, she begs her grandpa to tell her grandma to go to fashion brands to borrow dresses. Sometimes people don't lend them, and they only lend her out-of-season dresses. There is no room for selection, which is very pitiful.

After Tang Yan put on her makeup, she went to take a brief photo shoot. The effect was not bad, so she changed her look again, and then changed her look again.

The afternoon passed like this.

And Zhou Le spent the whole day filming the MV with Yang Mi today, and everything went well.

Yang Mi was finally leaving, but Tang Yan ignored him.

Yang Mi's MV is a small production, which is different from Tang Yan's blockbuster production. The plot is simple and the shots are not demanding, so it can be finished in one day.

Because Fan Shuangshuang didn't want to spend money on her at all, but Tang Yan and Gu Naliza's makeup and MV were of particularly high quality and cost a lot of money.

Yang Mi insisted that Zhou Le send her away from the base.

Zhou Le is still trying on clothes. The lovers and comrades-in-arms he and Tang Yan played in "Treading Mountains and Rivers" are also military generals, and they look a bit like the overlords of Western Chu.

It's raining a little today and the air is damp.

Yang Mi asked the assistants to get their things into the car, and said goodbye to Zhou Le alone: ​​"You want to grab Huang Xiaoming's Gucci endorsement?"

Although these sisters are promiscuous, they actually put work as the most important thing in their hearts.

Zhou Le: "None of your business!"

Yang Mi raised his hand to hit Zhou Le: "You are so arrogant...ah~"

slap~
Zhou Le acted first: "Gucci wanted to cooperate with me, and my studio is still evaluating. Moreover, Gucci has more than one spokesperson, so there is no question of whether to grab it or not? Yang Beibi asked you to ask?"

Yang Mi hit Zhou Le a few times: "She doesn't care about Mr. Huang, that's what I want to ask. You have lost so badly in terms of capital cooperation in the past two days, maybe you want to turn around in endorsement? You can find more top luxury brands than that one."

Fan Shuangshuang also suggested Zhou Le in the same way. Proper display of strength can increase commercial value, but Zhou Le did not immediately agree.

At this time, Zhou Le's answer was: "I will respond to capital with capital."

Yang Mi rolled his eyes, the real high-quality resources have been picked up by the second top class, no matter how you respond, you will bow your head.

However, she stopped persuading her and changed to seduce: "Next time I go to South Korea, do I need my sister to bring a small umbrella? I'm afraid it will rain."

Zhou Le laughed and said, "Why? Because it rains and you get gonorrhea?"

Yang Mi: "..."

slap~
Zhou Le gave her a symmetry, turned around and ran away, just playing around without you.

Yang Mi was so angry that she chased after a few steps, but she couldn't catch up, so she could only walk away with her hot face covered. In fact, she wanted to spread the scandal with Zhou Le the most. This time, with the double protection of Wang Ou and Tang Yan, there was really no chance. Wait for next time.

As soon as Zhou Le returned to the dressing room, Tang Yan came over to show Zhou Le with his mobile phone: "Hmph~"

Zhou Le was also speechless for a while.

Yang Mi updated Weibo, and posted a photo of her, Zhou Le and Tang Yan eating barbecue together, which caused quite a controversy, because everyone knew that Yang Mi and Tang Yan's best friend relationship was shattered, and now they are in the same frame again. Zhou Le.

"Let her fry it, and raise the heat for you by the way."

Zhou Le comforted.

Tang Yan: "I just feel disgusted."

Zhou Le said: "Then how about we let Sister Ou disgust her next time?"

Tang Yan was overjoyed: "Yes, yes! Ou Ou is great!"

Zhou Le knew from the very beginning that Yang Mi was approaching him with a purpose, so he was very ruthless, ignoring her feelings at all, get angry if you have the ability, and don't come to me again.

In order to catch the heat, Yang Mi was not afraid at all.

On the contrary, it was Tang Yan who was so naive, and Zhou Le liked it very much. She posted a selfie on Weibo and gave Zhou Le's face a code. It was easy for netizens to guess that it was an invalid code.

In the past two days, Zhou Le is still on the hot search, but it is not a good entry.

Some people are hyping that Zhou Le was defeated in the commercial value war with the sub-top class. Several hot money capitals all chose the sub-top class. Zhou Le got nothing in this capital competition.

The man's fanatic fans mocked and humiliated Zhou Le on the Internet, causing some conflicts.

On the other side of the top stream, they are celebrating each other these two days.

And Zhou Le has already returned to the crew of "A Thousand Bone Flower", filming during the day and recording the MV at night, continuing to work hard.

It took Tang Yan three days to film before leaving. Her acting skills may be mediocre, but her professional attitude is still very good.

Knowing Zhou Le’s liver scenes during the day, Tang Yan took pictures of herself alone during the day, and when Zhou Le was filming at night, she even came to help with the scene and help. The entire MV recording went smoothly, and Tang Yan and Zhou Le got along well. Very good.

Tang Yan regards Zhou Le as a kind of bad brother, because he always tries to trick Tang Yan, and she fell for it several times.

Zhou Le regards Tang Yan as a friend, and it is good to be friends with a silly female artist, she will not harm anyone, because the CPU speed is really not enough.

Actually, Zhou Le was just teasing her.

If he really wanted to think about her, with Zhou Le's darkness, Tang Yan should call him master now.

But Zhou Le didn't do that.

On the afternoon when Tang Yan left, Zhou Le sent her to the car, and she kept encouraging Zhou Le along the way:
"Don't be discouraged, Xiaole. If you really can't do it, just pick a few capitals with money and attitude, and cooperate casually. If you can make money, we can't lose."

Zhou Le laughed and said, "How much capital do you need? Am I crazy?"

He doesn't want to be tied to death by capital.

Tang Yan said seriously: "You can ask Sister Shuang to help you. Anyway, just don't cooperate with any short video application. That thing looks like a scam."

Zhou Le laughed again, you should listen to your words in reverse: "But their daily headlines are very popular now, and the short video APP is also pushed based on the algorithm of the daily headlines, which is completely different from the push method of other companies. What I have learned so far."

Tang Yan analyzed rationally: "You can read the title of the text message you push, and then choose whether to read it or not. How do you push the video? List it as a title one by one, and then click on the one you like? Even my monthly traffic is not enough. , How many ordinary people dare to play short video APP? I guess it is plagiarizing foreign YouTube..."

Zhou Le couldn't help pinching Tang Yan's face: "You know a lot, sister."

Tang Yan has been used to being pinched these days, and has no response: "I specifically checked on the Internet, and it takes a lot of money to make a video app... The server is different from the graphic one."

Zhou Le helped her carry the luggage: "Yes, yes! My sister is so wise, I will listen to you."

Five days later, Zhou Le appeared in the capital and attended the signing ceremony and press conference of the "Douyin APP Promotion Ambassador" in a certain hotel.

Tang Yan almost died of anger when he heard the news. He used his computer to watch Zhou Le's interview video on the Internet.

In the video, the entire signing ceremony is very simple. Zhou Le and Zhang Yiming signed the contract, and then Zhang Yiming introduced the specific details of the contract.

Basically, Zhou Le endorsed Douyin APP for free, became the exclusive promotion ambassador of Douyin, and obtained 3% shares of Douyin APP. The contract period is 3 years. Within 3 years, the 3% shares will not be affected by financing, that is, It will not shrink but only increase.

"What's the use of 3%?"

Tang Yan checked the valuation of ByteDance.

The company only completed its B round of financing last year. At that time, it raised 1000 million yuan. Now the company is valued at 5000 million yuan, which is about more than 3 million yuan.This is still the entire company, and what Zhou Le got was only the shares of a new APP, not the shares of the flagship product Daily Toutiao.

Seeing this, Tang Yan's heart turned cold. She felt that she was stupid enough, but she didn't expect Zhou Le to be stupid sometimes.

If you don't get a penny of endorsement fees, it's like helping others to work for free.

It's too awful.

Then, she watched a little bit of Zhou Le being interviewed.

Reporter: "Mr. Zhou Le, may I ask why you chose to cooperate with this little-known small company like Character Beat? As far as I know, there are still many excellent capitals who plan to join forces with you."

Zhou Le is very modest: "You can just call me Zhou Le, or Xiao Le. Actually, I don't have much intention to cooperate with capital. I just fancy the new app Douyin. I think it's very fun. I have an account, and I often post some short music videos on it, share and record inspiration, and so on. It just so happened that Mr. Zhang Yiming found me and asked me if I would like to endorse, and I said yes."

Reporter: "But, why is there no endorsement fee for your endorsement?"

Zhou Le: "It was originally about negotiating the endorsement fee. Later, I heard that the company's financing is also relatively difficult. I thought it would be fine if I didn't become a shareholder, and try to feel like a shareholder. So, we started talking about using equity as a substitute for the endorsement fee. In the end, it was set at 3%, which I think is an appropriate price.”

Reporter: "Even the 3% equity of the character jump is only worth 1000 million, and what you hold is only the equity of a new app under the character, which is not worthy of your worth at all. Do you know this?"

Zhou Le nodded: "I know, I used a calculator to calculate, and it's a bit of a loss."

There was laughter and ridicule in the audience.

Zhou Le continued: "But this is a new company, a new APP, and I am optimistic about its future development. My endorsement fee is 1000 million a year. If three years later, Douyin's valuation can rise to one billion , I’m not at a loss.”

There was constant laughter.

The valuation of the entire company is only over 3 million yuan, and if you want to break through [-] billion yuan with a small app, isn't this an international joke?
Has Zhou Le been limp this week?
The reporters couldn't ask any more questions, they just felt that Zhang Yiming was a bit of a bully.

A female reporter asked: "Will you and Fan Shuangshuang show affection on this app? I mean to attract users in this way."

Zhou Le smiled and said: "I'm afraid not. Sister Shuang and I don't want to expose our private life to the public too much. It's unnecessary. I will use my own way to attract users for Douyin. You know, I'm good at working."

Another reporter: "The data I have now shows that the Douyin APP, which was launched on September 9, has only accumulated 20 million users in a month. As a social application, such results can only be regarded as unpopular. What do you think of it?"

Zhou Le: "It's still a beta version, I believe it will get better and better in the future."

How can I see it?
Of course Douyin can watch while standing or sitting.

Seeing this, Tang Yan deleted the video. She wondered why Fan Shuangshuang didn't stop Zhou Le from signing with this broken company?She is so smart.

And there were more and more mocking voices on the Internet. Tang Yan was even more angry when he saw it. He simply called Zhou Le to ask Zhou Le, but the phone was shut down there.

Now, almost the entire network is laughing at Zhou Le.

Of course the top streamers are happy, and other traffic stars are also gloating, so the Internet is full of mockery of Zhou Le's drafts and trolls. The most typical rhetoric is...

Zhou Le lagged behind others by a week, and in the end he only got a free spokesperson contract, which was completely unworthy of top-tier popularity.

They couldn't wait to explain that Zhou Le had no commercial value.

Even Zhou Le's little black fans were laughing at Zhou Le, but the real fans were so angry, especially the mother fans, who yelled at those capitals who had no vision, and their characters beat and bullied others.

For the ridicule on the Internet, Zhou Le is contented and enjoys it very much.

How much they laugh now, they will regret it in the future!

With a 3% stake in Douyin APP, Zhou Le didn't even bother to look at other capitals, including that disgusting Pin Xixi.

It took Zhou Le a lot of talk to sleep with Fan Shuangshuang and get her to agree to cooperate with Douyin.

Moreover, Zhou Le told her that she would not cash out and leave after three years, but would look for opportunities to increase her shareholding. At that time, Zhou Le might not be worse than Fan Shuangshuang.

Of course Fan Shuangshuang didn't believe it, but as soon as he licked her head, she agreed, and regretted it afterwards.

After Zhou Le finished the press conference, he went to meet investors with Zhang Yiming and the others. As a new shareholder and spokesperson, he naturally wanted to get acquainted.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Le, who drank a little too much, was sent back to the hotel by Coke to rest.

Zhou Le fell asleep and woke up at eight o'clock in the evening.

Turned on the phone and looked at it. The last article on Weibo was jubilant. Laughing at Zhou Le can also become a trend, which is very good.

At the time when the entire network was ridiculed, Zhou Le posted a dangerous blog: "See you in Douyin from now on."

What do you mean?
Netizens were eating fresh melons, and they couldn't help guessing, Zhou Le was going to run away?Quit the crisis?Will you only play on that little app called Douyin in the future?He's crazy?
Then... Wei Bo was paralyzed.

Mr. Jia wanted to call and scold Zhou Le, what the hell are you doing all the work on me?You are so popular, Wei Bo has contributed a lot, you still want to run?
So, Mr. Jia quickly contacted Zhou Le's studio, and the other party said that Zhou Le would not cancel the Weibo account, so he was relieved.

I also felt that I was too nervous, it was just a small APP, and it could not threaten Weibo.

That night, Douyin’s downloads exceeded 2000 million.

The Internet is going crazy, Zhou Le has released a new song on Douyin, which is the ending song "Red Dust Inn" of "A Thousand Bone Flowers". This song is currently only authorized for one platform, Douyin, and no other platforms are allowed to put it on the shelves. , otherwise it will be regarded as an infringement.

The next day, the number of downloads of Douyin reached 500 million in a single day, and the number of Douyin APP users began to hit the [-] million mark.

This!
It's top class!

Zhou Le is completely different from other traffic stars. He attracts not only fans, but also a large number of passers-by, covering almost all age groups.

Zhou Le, who likes to do all kinds of work and is shameless, and Zhou Le, who tricks Fan Shuangshuang into chasing after him, has a high degree of citizenship.

On the third day, the number of Douyin APP users exceeded 1 million, and Zijidance announced that it had completed the C round of financing and obtained 5 million yuan. The company's valuation immediately increased tenfold to [-] million yuan.

Subsequently, Character Beat announced that the Douyin APP is the company's flagship product with the highest priority. At the same time, it promised to launch the live broadcast function in the near future.

It turned out that Zhang Yiming asked Zhou Le to be the spokesperson, and it was also a trick. A few days ago, he was negotiating with the investor and entered a stalemate. Then Zhang Yiming exchanged shares for Zhou Le. The number of Douyin users tripled and directly exceeded [-] million. The attitude changed immediately.

The successful completion of the C round of investment is a win-win situation.

Zhou Le is definitely not losing money. After the company's valuation has increased by 10 times, 3% of the shares are not inferior to 1000 million endorsement fees.

What's more, everyone has seen Douyin's strength, and the future is bright.

In just three days, the crowd's jeers disappeared.

Some people started to wake up, Zhou Le was more advanced than the next top player, but he couldn't tell where the advanced level was.
