From a professional villain to an all-around superstar

Chapter 345: Signing a Sky-high Contract, Pu Shu’s Invitation

Hearing that Zhang Ming agreed to sign the contract, Li Xiaomeng also had a smile on his face.

Ye Chen on the side was confused.

Because Ye Chen was too lazy to take care of the company's affairs, he left all the contract signing work to Li Xiaomeng.

In fact, Li Xiaomeng also told Ye Chen to read the contract, but Ye Chen was too lazy to read it.

Ye Chen has enough trust in Li Xiaomeng.

This is Ye Chen's principle.

But now Ye Chen is very curious, why did Zhang Ming, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly make up his mind to sign the contract?

Because they were at the negotiation table, Ye Chen didn't say anything and waited quietly.

Soon, the two parties began formal signing.

There are four documents in total, which is very cumbersome.

Lawyers were present on both sides, and the signing process alone took more than half an hour.

After the signing, Ye Chen and Zhang Ming also shook hands.

"Mr. Ye, happy cooperation."

Ye Chen also smiled politely: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

After sending Zhang Ming and everyone away, Ye Chen and Li Xiaomeng returned to the office.

"What document did you just show him that made him make up his mind immediately?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

Li Xiaomeng smiled lightly and said, "Please take a look at this contract first."

Ye Chen took the contract handed over by Li Xiaomeng and looked at it.

After reading the contract, Ye Chen was a little surprised.

This contract is the document signed by Ye Chen and Li Xiaomeng.

The content of the contract is probably that Ye Chen will become the spokesperson of Red Star.

The annual exclusive endorsement fee is 5000 million.

The price of this contract surprised Ye Chen, it was several times higher than before.

Why did Hongxing agree to such an expensive contract?

Although he is now well-known in the Dragon Kingdom, this endorsement fee is still a bit exaggerated.

The next moment, Li Xiaomeng handed Ye Chen another contract with a smile.

This contract is the endorsement contract that Zhang Ming saw.
After Ye Chen read the contract, he finally understood why the other party was willing to sign the contract.

Because this contract is a gambling agreement.

In the contract, Ye Chen is the spokesperson. Hongxing must design four Chinese-style clothing endorsements for Ye Chen. If the sales exceed the endorsement fee, then a full range of advertising will be carried out around Ye Chen.

If this is not done, the endorsement will be based on the previous price, which is 200 million per year.

With Ye Chen's current fame, 200 million is too cheap.

Therefore, Hongxing is worthy of this gambling agreement.

If Ye Chen fails, they can pay 200 million to let Ye Chen endorse him without any loss.

If it exceeds sales, then Hongxing will naturally be very happy.

It can be said that with this agreement, no matter the outcome of the bet, Hongxing will not lose.

The most important thing is that as an emerging sports brand, Hongxing urgently needs a spokesperson who can compete with Lining, Adidas and Nike to seize the Dragon Kingdom market.

And Ye Chen's current popularity is definitely the best candidate, so the other party is also very satisfied with this agreement.

Ye Chen looked at Li Xiaomeng and asked, "Do you think we can win this bet?"

Li Xiaomeng said with great confidence: "We have conducted research. From the promotional video of Legend of the Demon Cat, we can see that you are very marketable in the Dragon Kingdom, and the most important thing is that the current audience is tired of seeing those little fresh meat, so Your kind of acting skills, good looks and good looks are very popular among the people, so I believe that you can definitely do it, and you will even exceed the standard."

Seeing Li Xiaomeng's determined expression, Ye Chen nodded.

Ye Chen didn't do much research on this kind of thing.

His experience is mainly in performance and creation.

So Ye Chen actually doesn't know much about business matters, and he doesn't want to ask for too much.

After all, with Li Xiaomeng as his assistant, there was no need for him to spend too much thought on these things.

After signing the contract, Ye Chen decided to go to Shacheng.

Because Pu Shu called Ye Chen and invited him over.

Ye Chen has also watched the recent episodes of I Am a Singer.

Although several of Pu Shu's songs are very good, their results on the show were not very good.

Although Pu Shu's songs are very charming and the lyrics are thought-provoking, they are not suitable for this kind of economical variety show.

Because in the show, what the audience prefers to see is the singer's explosive performance on the stage.

Showing off your singing skills, soaring high notes, and exaggerated expressions of emotions, this is the song that the audience likes to vote for.

Most of Pu Shu's songs are very charming, connotative and folk-oriented.

In this information age, many people have no intention of appreciating such charming songs.

Some people even listen to the blasting music instead of the lyrics.

Therefore, no matter how refined the lyrics are by the singer, the audience may not care.

Therefore, naturally fewer people voted for his songs.

This is also the main reason why the most popular songs on the Internet are basically saliva songs.

When Ye Chen received Pu Shu's call, Ye Chen also knew the other party's purpose.

Obviously, the other party wanted Ye Chen to write a song for him so that he could use some of his advantages in the next show.

This way you won’t leave the stage prematurely.

In fact, the one at the bottom now is not Pu Shu but Hua Chenyu.

In recent episodes of the show, Hua Chenyu has sung some quite explosive songs.

Coupled with Mango's strong support, their seeded players will certainly not be allowed to leave the stage prematurely.

On the phone, Pu Shu did not mention song writing to Ye Chen, but asked anxiously if Ye Chen was free and wanted to meet Ye Chen.

Even if Ye Chen is not free, he can come over to find Ye Chen.

In fact, Ye Chen has always admired Pu Shu.

In Ye Chen's opinion, Pu Shu is the real musician.

Moreover, the other party's conversation was decent. Originally, Pu Shu said that Ye Chen should go to Shacheng to meet him, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

But after the subsequent additions, it is completely different.

He said he could come over to see Ye Chen.

This also expressed his eagerness to see Ye Chen.

In front of Ye Chen, although the other party was considered a senior, he didn't feel like he was playing a big role.

And Ye Chen really has nothing to do these days, so he also wants to go to Shacheng and see Deng Ziqi.

As soon as Ye Chen left the airport, Pu Shu met Ye Chen at the door.

After the two parties met, they shook hands very politely.

Ye Chen originally said that Pu Shu would not be needed to pick him up.

After all, there is no need to bother others about taking a taxi.

But Pu Shu came to pick it up in person.

Although the other party seems to be inarticulate, the feeling of doing things is very comfortable.

Two people came to a restaurant.

What Pu Shu was looking for was a restaurant called Ting Yu Xuan.

This restaurant is very famous locally and the dishes are very good.

Ye Chen could tell that Pu Mu had put in a lot of effort to allow him to write songs for him.

In fact, Pu Shu thought too much.

Ye Chen is a very casual person, and he admires Pu Shu very much. In fact, once the other party calls, Ye Chen will agree to help him write songs.

When the two of them found a private room and sat down, Pu Shu did not tell him about songwriting, but asked Ye Chen to taste the dishes.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Pu Shu asked me to come here not only to taste the dishes in this restaurant."

After hearing this, Pu Shu put down his chopsticks and said, "Ye Chen, actually I invited you here this time because there is something I want to tell you."

Ye Chen could see that the expression on Pu Shu's face was very serious at this moment.

Pu Shu usually has a very easy-going expression, but from the serious attitude of the other party, it can be seen that this matter should be very important.

"Can't we just talk about something on the phone? Why do we have to talk about it in person?"

"It's about Deng Ziqi."

After hearing Pu Shu's words, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly.

For some reason, Ye Chen suddenly became a little nervous when he heard this name.

This feeling is actually very strange. In fact, the relationship between the two people is just ordinary friends.

But when Ye Chen heard this name, he suddenly became nervous.

"what happened?"

At this moment, Ye Chen also understood why Deng Ziqi brought him to such a very closed box.

"Yesterday, the leader of Mango Channel asked everyone to have dinner together, and the people who participated were all people who had participated in the show."

"Several well-known hosts from Mango and people who participated in the show are here, but this time there is an uninvited guest."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean by an uninvited guest? Who is here?"

"Director Feng."

Hearing this name, Ye Chen was slightly surprised.

But soon, Ye Chen regained his composure and said with a smile: "Director Feng and the leader of Mango Channel are very familiar with each other and it is very normal. This is nothing to make a fuss about."

Pu Shu shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Director Feng was not invited by Mango Channel, but by someone else."

"Who called?"

"Hua Chenyu."

The smile on Ye Chen's face finally disappeared.

The relationship between Feng Xiaogang and him had always been acrimonious, and Hua Chenyu was not a good person either.

The two came together, whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Ye Chen had to be careful.

"Teacher Pu Shu, thank you for telling me."

Ye Chen raised his wine glass with some gratitude.

However, Pu Shu felt confused.

"Why thank me? I haven't said anything yet."

Ye Chen was stunned. The news just now was already very important to Ye Chen.

Is there anything else?

Pu Shu continued: "Actually, this incident was also an accident. I went to the bathroom and happened to overhear the conversation between two people in the bathroom."

Although I was inside, I could tell that the speakers were Feng Xiaogang and Hua Chenyu.

The voices of both people are very distinctive, so Pu Shu will definitely not hear them wrong.

"The two people chatted normally at first, talking about business matters, but then they mentioned you."

Pu Shu looked at Ye Chen with a strange look in his eyes.

It seems that what Ye Chen is about to encounter is very worthy of sympathy.

Ye Chen understands why Pu Shu sees himself this way, because if two people join forces, Ye Chen will undoubtedly be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Although Ye Chen is already very famous among young actors, it seems too weak to compete with Feng Xiaogang and Hua Chenyu.

The two people are very well connected in both the entertainment and film circles.

Especially since the conflict between Ye Chen and Hua Chenyu has been made public.

If Ye Chen develops in the music industry, the other party will definitely target Ye Chen.

Now that the two people are suddenly together, discussing how to deal with Ye Chen, it can be said that Ye Chen is already under attack from both sides.

"Director Feng kept talking about how to deal with you in the bathroom, but I didn't hear the specific content clearly. I just told you to be careful."

Ye Chen also nodded when he heard it. Although it was a pity that Pu Shu didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two, Ye Chen was very moved that he could tell him so much information.

"But they also talked about something they were going to do soon."

Ye Chen asked: "What happened?"

"They want to deal with Deng Ziqi and want to discredit her."

Ye Chen heard Deng Ziqi's name again.

He immediately became nervous, especially now that Feng Xiaogang and Hua Chenyu were already working together to deal with them.

"While they were talking, I took my phone and recorded it."

With that said, Pu Shu handed the phone to Ye Chen.

After pressing the play button, Hua Chenyu's voice came from inside.

"That bitch Deng Ziqi is so popular now, and more and more fans like her."

"What we have to deal with is Ye Chen, not this woman. Didn't I ask you to stare at Ye Chen?"

"When we find an opportunity, we will take action and we must destroy his reputation."

Hua Chenyu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best, but now I have something that I need your help with."

The speaker was Hua Chenyu.

"whats the matter?"

In the recording, Feng Xiaogang's voice paused slightly.

He seemed to be considering whether he should help Hua Chenyu.

But in the end he said: "You tell me first, if you can help me I will definitely help."

Hua Chenyu's voice became very vicious.

"I want that woman Hua Chenyu to go back to Xiangjiang."

"How could I let the woman I didn't get live so freely in front of me?"

The last time they were recording a show, Deng Ziqi and Ye Chen were so flirty with each other that it almost drove Hua Chenyu crazy.

Feng Xiaogang suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect you to be jealous of women."

At this moment, Feng Xiaogang's tone was mixed with some playful emotions.

However, Hua Chenyu was not angry but said: "You don't have to worry about whether you are jealous or not. I'm just asking you if you are willing to do me this favor?"

Feng Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

After all, the two are now in a cooperative relationship.

And to him, Deng Ziqi is just a little shrimp, and he doesn't have to put any effort into dealing with her.

"I know a little about this little girl. She just released an album and it's very popular now."

"With your methods, it shouldn't be difficult to discredit her."

Feng Xiaogang said with a smile.

"Of course I can, but now everyone outside knows that there is a conflict between us. If I take action, it will be easily discovered that I was the one who did it."

"Now those fans of Deng Ziqi think that Deng Ziqi is weak. If I still take action, it will not be her, but me."

Feng Xiaogang sneered after hearing this: "Are you going to let me deal with her?"
