You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Chapter 86: This artist only accepts business but not business
Xu Yi never thought about everlasting life. He just wanted to earn enough [-] million, then retire and live a good life without shame.

But he had to admit that what Zheng Tao said was right.

For an artist, his work is the best pension.It's a pity that whether it's Xu Yi in his previous life or this Xu Yi, his talent in singing and acting is actually average.

unless……

Unless the big brother of the system, the full-time craftsman, can be merciful and stop tinkering with those underworld skills and instead give himself a few reliable skills, then the situation will be completely different.

"Brother Tao, I understand everything you said."

Xu Yi and Zheng Tao clinked glasses, picked up a bunch of mutton kidneys, and said, "But as for works of art, it depends on chance. In recent years, it's not uncommon for top-notch actors to star in bad movies. I'd better wait. wait!"

Top-notch films paired with bad movies have become a rule.

Hearing this, Zheng Tao smiled and said:
"So, before you become a top star, hurry up and take on a few good films. Otherwise, when you become a top star one day, the situation will not be good..."

"Brother Tao, your thinking is very similar to that of the people in the Seventh Hospital of the Demon City. Yes, there is a lot to be done!" Xu Yi complained.

The Seventh Hospital of the Demon City is a hospital specializing in mental illness.

Xu Yi's implication is that mentally ill patients have broad ideas and mentally retarded children have more joy.How could Zheng Tao not hear it?
He raised his glass and gave his heartfelt blessing:
"Fuck you! Come on, I wish you to become a top player soon!"

……

Xu Yi got drunk for the second time.

The first time was the celebration party for the completion of the first season of "Full Time Acting", and Xu Yi stopped drinking.Then came today.

It can be seen that Xu Yi's drinking capacity is really average.

In the next few days, Xu Yi had no schedule, so he studied the map alone at home.He took a stack of white paper and marked and connected them one by one on the paper.This is the best way to deepen your memory.

In two days, Xu Yi had densely drawn hundreds of pieces of paper.Keep in mind the terrain, secret passages, crops, ports, manors, and farms of the entire northern island of Mamoun Island.

Day three.

Anti-fraud advertisements are out in full force.

Xu Yi's handsome personal photo suddenly appeared in front of people all over the country. Next to his handsome face, there was a sentence:

Fire prevention, theft prevention, fraud prevention, any transfer of money is dangerous.

Day [-].

Ru Meng Ling’s latest makeup series video advertisement is out on the street.

Xu Yi's dreamy phrase "a young man's first makeup" is very magical and particularly brainwashing.

It even once caused other brands to follow suit:
Young people’s first smartphone

Young people’s first bag

Young people’s first new energy vehicle

A young man’s first suit

……

On social networks, everyone is having a lot of fun with this meme.Rumengling’s new products also took advantage of the trend to establish the brand and became a hot seller!
Xu Yi didn't expect this.

"Xiao Yi, are you free today?" Fat Orange called early in the morning. "If you have time, come to the company."

Xu Yi: "Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

He put away the map on the table and all the hand-drawn manuscript papers, and then went directly to Yixiu Media.

After a few days, Xu Yi's status in the company was completely different.

This can be felt from the enthusiasm with which others greet Xu Yi after entering the company.

Xu Yi found Fat Orange directly.

"Sister Ju, is something wrong?"

"What else?" Fat Orange's eyes flashed with little stars, and he said with some pride: "I didn't expect that you have a talent for advertising. Xiao Yi, you don't know, right? The advertisement you shot for Ru Meng Ling, Fire."

"Ru Meng Ling's 100 million flowers are so worth it!"

Hearing this, Xu Yi immediately took over the conversation: "Hey, do they want to increase the endorsement fee?"

"What good thing do you want?"

As Fat Orange spoke, he took out a stack of documents from his desk: "Take a look, these are the cooperation invitations sent by the brand in the past two days, and you are designated to be the brand's best friend."

Xu Yi glanced at it and said in surprise:
"so much?"

"Could it be true that making a wish with a skewer can make your wish come true? Aren't these brand owners all drunk? There is still a big gap between me and the top people. Why are they all looking for me?"

Finding a spokesperson for a brand is sometimes a metaphysical matter.Go for a top-notch one. Not only will it cost a lot of money, it will also easily lead to the collapse of the house.Looking for people like Xu Yi, the money is not much, just treat it as an advertising campaign, maybe it will have miraculous results.

For example: Rumengling makeup.

This kind of metaphysics makes Xu Yi extremely popular in today's endorsement circle.So many brands are eager to try it.

Fat Orange said with some worry:

"Xiao Yi, don't be too happy too soon. There are pros and cons to this. If you follow it all, your popularity will be excessively consumed. For an artist, this is not a good thing."

"We still have to focus on business. As for business, I think two or three a year are enough."

Fat Orange's thinking is the same as Zheng Tao's.

Persist in cultivating artists with your works. Only in this way can this road go steadily and far.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said directly:
"Sister Ju, you are right."

"However, it seems a bit unkind for us to reject them directly. Let me pick and choose between ten and eight for business purposes."

Fat Orange: "..."

Co-author: Did I tell the dog what I just said so earnestly and sincerely?Are you a kid who really doesn't like oil and salt?
Xu Yi naturally has Xu Yi's plan.

He probably guessed to some extent that the reason why so many brand owners came to visit him was probably because of the power represented by Zhao Guoming, in order to increase his popularity as quickly as possible in a short period of time.As long as the popularity increases, the first threshold to participate in "Island Escape" will be passed.

Xu Yi took the document and read it carefully.

"This clothing brand is good. It's our own brand, with Chinese style design and discerning!"

"This instant noodles... although it is a bit inconsistent with my handsome appearance, but no one's life has been complete without owning a box of instant noodles. You can take it!"

"As for this aunt's scarf merchant...Sister Ju, did you get the wrong one? Can you find me here?"

Fat Orange rolled his eyes at Xu Yi and said: "That's right, everyone has said that makeup is also a female product, and auntie towels are also female products, including men, and they are also female products, so it is not a violation."

Xu Yi: Is this okay?

There are more than a dozen brands that have invited Xu Yi to be a spokesperson or to shoot a promotional advertisement. Xu Yi gave a rough summary. Most of the contracts are within one year, and a few are only for a few months, which is just right. Used for emergencies.

After careful consideration, he said to Fat Orange:
"Sister Ju, please take over all these business matters first."

"Don't look at me like this. I really don't do it for money. I do it purely for other considerations. You will know later."

There are two big words written on Fat Orange's face: Don't believe it.

However, as Xu Yi's agent, she still gave Xu Yi full respect and started scheduling the schedule according to Xu Yi's wishes.

In the days that followed, Xu Yi was so busy that he never touched the ground.

Those brand owners seem to have heard about Xu Yi's feat of changing advertising slogans on the spot. Whenever they reach this stage, they will laugh at themselves: "This advertising slogan in our family always feels that it is almost meaningless. Teacher Xu, I heard that you are Experts in this field, would you like to help me?"

Oh, whoring for free?That is impossible.

Every time when this step comes, Xu Yi always takes out Ru Meng Ling’s thank you fee and says that for a truly big-scale brand, no matter what advertising slogan it uses, it will be the same.

Some merchants came forward and after hearing these words, they immediately expressed their gratitude; some others avoided the topic in despair and never mentioned the change of advertising slogans again.

Xu Yi acted according to the rules and came up with ideas when he was given money.

Goodbye to those who don’t pay.

In this way, in less than a month, he had shot more than a dozen advertisements. After the centralized placement, Xu Yi could be seen in almost all streets, alleys, elevator cars, TV patches, e-commerce shopping and other places. .

Become familiar and achieve success.

However, this kind of excessive consumption finally pushed Xu Yi to the forefront. Xu Yi's personal hot search quickly became popular on social networks, and the entry was very eye-catching:
#This artist only accepts business but not business.

[Brother Xu, this is a mudslide in the entertainment industry! 】

[It has expanded and will collapse sooner or later! 】

[Does anyone have any knowledge about this brother?Why don't I seem to have any impression? 】

[Popular science: Xu Yi, a contestant on "Full Time Acting", has participated in zero movies and TV series, and has zero original singing/cover works. He is referred to as a post-[-]s artist in the entertainment industry. 】

[Brothers upstairs, come to UC to work tomorrow! 】

[I just said that when I go to work early in the morning, there are his advertisements in the elevator, on my mobile phone, everywhere. This guy has something special! 】

[If you only accept business but not business, you will fucking die laughing! 】

[Wait a minute, wasn’t Brother Xu arrested?Why can you come out to shoot commercials? 】

[Don’t get too involved in the drama...]

Many netizens also went to Xu Yi's Weibo and left messages, urging Xu Yi to take care of himself.

[Brother, would you like to shoot less commercials?You should not be short of money! 】

【Take advantage of the popularity and join the group quickly! 】

[Movies and TV shows are all fine, even variety shows are fine.If you don't do anything serious, what's the point of doing this crazy advertising shoot? 】

【…】

Xu Yi turned a deaf ear to these comments.

Mainly because I don't have time.

About half a month later, Chu Ningning called Xu Yi and said that she wanted to talk about something.Because of his role as "director", Xu Yi did not refuse.The two of them met in an independent coffee shop by the river. The place had a small flow of people and a literary style, so it would not be easily recognized.

"We haven't seen you for a few days. Director Chu is getting younger and younger." Xu Yi was sitting on a bamboo chair, wearing sunglasses and two glasses of iced Americano in front of him.

Chu Ningning put down her bag.

He glanced at the coffee on the table and said, "Thanks."

She was wearing a sportswear today, less serious and more lively, but it was also very limited.

After a pause, Chu Ningning said:

"I told you last time that the "Island Escape" program team has arrived in China to investigate the celebrity market. Your popularity has come at the right time, and you have been noticed."

"If nothing else, they will interview you in the next few days."

"So fast?" Xu Yi frowned slightly.

To be honest, apart from being interviewed when he was looking for a job in his previous life, Xu Yi had never been interviewed by others at other times or on other occasions.Therefore, he couldn't help but ask:
"What did the interview mainly talk about? Remuneration?"

Chu Ningning glanced at Xu Yi: "Of course we have to discuss remuneration, and we will even ask about your past resume, but I don't care about that. I just want to tell you that you must not reveal even a word about the rescue plan!"

Do you think I'm stupid?
This kind of thing is naturally known to God and the earth, you know it and I know it, and you cannot let a third person know it!

Just listen to Xu Yi's solemn promise:

"Don't worry, this is all gay. Even if they throw money at me, I will definitely not say anything."

Xu Yi thought: Unless they add a lot of money...

When Chu Ningning saw Xu Yi mention money, she couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, if this thing is done, the rewards you will get will far exceed money."

Xu Yi: "Far more than money... Will the organization give me two beauties by the way?"

Chu Ningning was shocked:...

What the hell kind of star is this?

If such a crime is committed, why can it be done so easily?

Xu Yi saw this and immediately turned around:
"Just kidding, kidding."

"It is the duty of every citizen to be able to contribute even a small amount to the organization. The responsibility is unshirkable and everyone has the responsibility. They should be divided accordingly without any conditions."

One yard owned by a yard.

Of course Xu Yi knew that if he could really rescue the three scientists, his position in the entertainment industry would be as stable as an old dog.

This step is called laying the foundation.

Once the foundation has been laid, the future can take the throne...

Far away.

When Chu Ningning heard Xu Yixin's realization, her face finally stopped being shocked and returned to normal.She thought about it and reminded her:

"Xu Yi, you have an out-of-control temper and speak without restraint. I hope you can be a little more steady when interviewing with the program team."

"I re-watched the replay of your show."

"I watched it seven times."

Speaking of this, Chu Ningning seemed to have a flash of light in her eyes, "Your performance is indeed very different from that of ordinary celebrities. I have also investigated you and found that your background and experience are very clean. It is absolutely impossible to learn from those sideways." .”

"So, is it convenient for you to talk to me?"

Xu Yi refused without hesitation: "It's inconvenient."

Ha ha.

Want to trick me?What a beautiful thought...

When I asked you if it was convenient to introduce the situation of the three scientists, you just said it was inconvenient without even blinking.Now, these three words are returned to you!
Chu Ningning was not surprised either.

Everyone has their own secret, and since it is a secret, of course they will not tell others casually.For her, as long as Xu Yi's ability is helpful to this rescue plan, that's fine.As for how Xu Yi got his abilities, it's good to know, but it won't have much impact if he doesn't know.

Chu Ningning stood up, glanced at Xu Yi, who was still wearing sunglasses, and then said: "Okay. I'll leave first. I'll contact you if anything happens."

After saying that, he turned around and left...

Xu Yi quickly shouted:

"Your coffee!"

"I'm sorry, today is not a good time to drink ice." Chu Ningning gave a rare smile, then turned and left.

Damn, this director smiles so damn well!
Lao Zhao has no good intentions, this is definitely a sugar-coated bullet!Xu Yi calmed down and secretly warned himself, little Xu Zi, you must never forget your original intention!
Did you agree that after you earn enough [-] million, you can just lie down?
