You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Ye Xinchun has to personally control the script of Leyan's album music video, and of course she has to review the finished film.

She went over the first few films, occasionally making small comments during the process.

But when it came to the MV of "Still Love You", she watched it five times in a row, and now she clicked the 'replay' button.

"Is this the song that was added at the end?" she asked Ji Xueli, who was sitting opposite, nervously waiting for feedback.

Shortly before the new album was officially announced, the number of songs in the album increased from 9 to 10.

The explanation given by Ji Xueli was that Leyan had created another good song, and he strongly requested to be included in it and released together.

Having more songs is a good thing, and Ye Xinchun will definitely not stop it. He just reminds Ji Xueli that time is tight and the script creation progress must be controlled well, so as not to slow down the rhythm. Unexpectedly, Ji Xueli said that he wanted to do the music video for the last song, Leyan, by himself.
Ye Xinchun has seen the scripts of the other nine songs. After receiving the finished film, she found that the only music video she had no impression of was actually the most interesting one in the entire album.

Ji Xueli said realistically:
"Yes, it's this song. Le Yan said that the camera when recording the song in the studio inspired him to make the music video of this song a record."

The "Still Love You" MV used footage from Le Yan and Li Yiran's camera that was filmed on the day the "You Are My Beloved Song" MV was filmed.

The picture is simple and concise, very everyday, but it uses post-production editing techniques to piece together a story about love.

That's why Le Yan told Li Yiran that two music videos were released that day.

"Interesting." Ye Xinchun looked at the MV still playing on the screen and asked with a smile, "Was this plot planned by Le Yan? Or was it planned by Li Yiran?"

In the MV, there is a scene of two people sitting in a car and cuddling sweetly.

There are scenes of chasing and fighting in the shed.

There are scenes of feeding each other in the lounge.

There is also the scene of Li Yiran hanging around Leyan's neck and spinning around.

Almost every frame is a 'show of affection'.

The entire MV contained so much sugar that Ye Xinchun never let go of his lips.

You can imagine how excited fans will be when they see these contents. This MV has completely touched their hearts.
Ji Xueli laughed awkwardly:

"No one planned it. This is how they both usually look."

"No one planned it?" Ye Xinchun raised his eyebrows and curiously asked Ji Xueli opposite him, "Real record?"

Ji Xueli nodded:

"True record, they get along like this every day."

Don't believe it?

He didn't believe it before either.

But after spending one day in Li Yiran's studio, I became convinced.

An ordinary day is recorded as if it were performed according to a script.

The relationship between the two of them is so good.
He asked his boss worriedly:

"Would it be too sweet?"

Le Yan and Li Yiran haven't officially announced their relationship yet. Is it okay to expose them so directly?
Ye Xinchun understood what Ji Xuelia was worried about and shook his head with a smile:

"The more confusing it is, the more attention it will attract, and this content is what Leyan wants, isn't it?"

If Leyan likes it, she has no objection.

The popularity of Leyan is reflected from the digital level in terms of the total number of fans, the volume of voice on the entire network, discussion and national awareness.

From Ye Xinchun's perspective, Leyan's fire brought more profound things.

First of all, from a financial perspective, Leyan has entered a business return period.

After being a loser for half a year, Leyan finally has the ability to make money.

近期，报到她这里的品牌商务邀约超过10个，客户们给乐言的代言报价从之前的3个月/120万，涨到3个月/350万或者半年/500万，单次合作价格80-100万/天。

Single cooperation means that no title will be given, it will be a one-time deal, and no exclusive agreement will be signed.

It is possible that an artist went to the live broadcast room of lipstick brand A today to bring goods, and tomorrow you will see him appear in the live broadcast room of brand B, which competes with A.

In endorsement cooperation, in addition to providing formal endorsement status, customers can use the celebrity's image, voice, and name to endorse and guide purchasing behavior, and the celebrity must exclude all competing brands within the endorsement period.

The more leading celebrities are, the less likely they are to cooperate with short-term endorsements, let alone accept single business deals, because frequent changes of business cooperation brands will make the artist's status unstable.

If the client has confidence in the artist, he must extend the cooperation period, because the longer the endorsement period, the lower the average price and the stronger the bond with the artist, which can play the role of endorsement.

For a movie queen of Ge Man's level, endorsements are signed for a minimum of two years, and other forms of cooperation are out of the question.

The endorsement fees of male celebrities are generally higher than that of female celebrities because a higher proportion of male celebrities' fans are women, who are more crazy and more willing to spend money.

For example, Li Yiran is considered a top-tier female star. Her annual fee range is 1000-1200 million per year, but for a male star of the same level as her, the price can increase by another 200-400 million.

And if you reach the level of a top-notch male artist, endorsements outside of luxury goods will start at least 1500 million/year, and 2000 million/year is normal. The fluctuation depends on whether the brand is international or domestic, whether the product line is good enough, whether category competition is strong and other factors. .

Ye Xinchun told Ji Xuelia that Leyan wanted to take a boutique route and only accept annual endorsement cooperation. It would not accept short-term endorsements or any other forms. The quotation was 800 million per year.

The price of 800 million per year exceeds that of most second-tier male stars in the industry, but it is still far behind the first-tier male stars.

Unexpectedly, after the price was quoted, 6 customers immediately agreed to cooperate. In other words, Leyan recently brought 4800 million yuan in pre-tax turnover to the company.

Because there were too many customers who accepted the quotation, and there was an endless stream of customers coming to consult later, Ye Xinchun was already evaluating whether to set a higher endorsement price for Leyan.

All the above prove that Leyan is getting closer and closer to the first-line male stars
Secondly, external companies and platforms have recently sent numerous cooperation invitations to Leyan, and they have blossomed across the board in the fields of movies, TV series, and variety shows.

Movie and TV series crews fell in love with Leyan's good looks and superb acting skills.

There are many young male actors on the market, but most of them only have good looks, or they are idol artists who turned to acting.

There are very few people like Le Yan who have both good looks and acting skills who have a professional background.

It can be said with certainty that Le Yan is the best among male actors in his 20s.

Almost all the production crews on the market have contacted Superstar Entertainment, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate with Leyan.

Variety show projects are interested in Leyan's popularity and previous outstanding performance in variety shows. Don't forget that Leyan is a variety show veteran and has also been a resident in "Mushroom House". Variety shows in various stages of production regard Leyan as the first echelon. To-be-invited guests.

Ye Xinchun would not agree to let Leyan cooperate on a purely external project, but with Leyan in hand, Superstar would have a lot more leverage in negotiations.

They can copy the cooperation model between Su Tian and Ge Man and use Leyan to catch countless big fish.

Want to collaborate with Leyan?

We can first talk about the possibility of cooperation with superstars on this project. As long as the superstars can participate, we will let Leyan participate.

Finally, Leyan's popularity can also help other artists in the company, especially young female artists.

Whether it's a new album MV or other activities, as long as you are on the same stage with Leyan, you can get traffic.

The value that Leyan brings to Superstar is immeasurable. He may be able to revitalize half of the company by himself.
His current status as a superstar is at the level of a veritable 'national treasure'. He can make the MV how he wants to, and Ye Xinchun has no objections.

Seeing that Ye Xinchun didn't raise any big objections to all the content of the MV, Ji Xueli's heart finally fell.

At this point, all preparations for Leyan's new album have been successfully completed, and we are just waiting for the release date.

"What are Leyan's next work arrangements?" Ye Xinchun would not give Ji Xuelia any chance to breathe, and added to the pressure again.

“My latest job is flying to the Lion City to attend a film festival.”

Before the release of the new album on April 4, Leyan still has one very important thing to do, and that is to attend the first award ceremony in her life.

Le Yan being nominated has exceeded the expectations of the superstars, but Ye Xinchun doesn't have much desire to win.

It’s an unexpected surprise if you get it, and you won’t be disappointed if you don’t get it.

As a businessman, she believes that this film festival may have other meanings.

"Arrange some local exposure activities for Leyan. Materials from red carpets and award ceremonies will be sent back to China as soon as possible. Use fashion week means to promote it."

Ji Xueli looked happy:
"clear."

Promote according to the fashion week method, which means arranging follow-up photos from the beginning.

Every look, every event I go to, every venue I visit must be written with a special report.
And these things all require manpower and money!
In other words, Ye Xinchun approved a large publicity budget for Leyan!
In fact, Ye Xinchun has never been stingy with money for Leyan.

When she was still a money-losing product, she was willing to work hard to promote it. Now that she has started to make money, she is even more willing to spend money on Leyan.

Ye Xinchun's purpose in cultivating Leyan was not to make money from him, but to make money in other ways through Leyan, a key figure.

At present, it seems that the greater the investment in Leyan, the higher the return. She must continue to increase her investment in Leyan.

After Ji Xueli reported his work, he stood up and left. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Ye Xinchun again.

Ye Xinchun tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table:
"You go with me on this trip to Lion City and see if you can catch a few more 'big fish'."

Superstar has started an accelerated expansion mode, and everyone and the crew at the four major international film festivals are the targets of Superstar's "annexation".

The job of using Leyan to fish should be left to Tian Ni, but "Singer" is about to be aired recently, and there are many cooperation projects that require Tian Ni's participation, so she can't get away.

Leyan is very smart and has a management mind, but he is an artist after all. Some words and tricks are not suitable for him to do in person. At least he needs a co-actor. In the past few months, Ye Xinchun found that Ji Xueliang was also a smart person. On the surface, he seemed to be submissive and unwilling to fight, but in fact, he understood everything in his heart and had a sense of proportion in what he did. It was appropriate to send him to do this.

Ji Xueli responded and said:
"Okay, I'll go with Leyan this time."

Ye Xinchun waved to him:
"Tell Le Yan to come see me sometime when you come back from the Lion City. I'll talk to him if I have anything to do."

Ye Xinchun has been looking for Leyan for a long time.

But he was very busy during the album production period.

Now that I have some free time, I have to go to the Lion City again. So I’ll see you again when I come back this time.

Ji Xueli received Ye Xinchun's instruction and happily arranged the list of business travelers for the Lion City Film Festival.

Since the boss has approved the money and attaches so much importance to it, the traveling team will definitely grow in size, so let’s treat it as a team building trip abroad!
But what he didn't know was that while he was busy booking flights and arranging his itinerary, Leyan was still worried about whether he could go.

Although he only took a day and a half off to shoot the music video in Xiangcheng, it still aroused Deng Xuefeng's dissatisfaction.

Deng Xuefeng didn't say anything at that time and let Leyan go smoothly.

But two days later, when Leyan came to ask for leave again, Deng Xuefeng expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Two days are not enough for the film festival? Do you want five days?"

The award ceremony is usually arranged in the evening. Can't you arrive during the day and fly back the next day after participating in the event?
Do you have to take the train in five days?

Leyan said with a guilty conscience:

"The crew has arranged some promotional activities in the local area, and I want to participate."

He didn't dare to say that he took leave because the company arranged many fashion events and photo shoots for him.
The blame can only be placed on Peng Yiwei.

Le Yan was sure that Deng Xuefeng would not ask Peng Yiwei for verification.

Deng Xuefeng turned his head and said without any doubt:

"Two days at most, any more will count as absenteeism."

In the office, Le Yan did not dare to mess around with Deng Xuefeng, so he could only lower his voice and say:

"This is my first time attending an awards ceremony. Can you give me some time to feel the atmosphere of the film festival?"

Leyan meant what he said.

I heard that around the time of the Lion City Film Festival, the local film atmosphere was very strong. There were many theme salons and dinners, and there were many opportunities to meet people in the industry. I really wanted to see these.

Deng Xuefeng stood up and took the water cup to fetch water:
"Don't focus on useless things."

If you have that time, why not come back and practice a few prescribed scenarios!
Le Yan still wanted to speak, but Deng Xuefeng kicked him out:
"Get out, this matter is not negotiable. If you don't agree, I will take it back in the past two days."

Young man, I advise you to stop when you are ready!

Le Yan walked out of the office dejectedly. He was planning how to force Deng Xuefeng to submit after school when his phone in his pocket vibrated.

Peng Yiwei: "Bao Bin and I are leaving tonight. Ge Man arrived yesterday. When will you arrive?"

The crew of "The Pretender" set out separately for the Lion City and met there.

Le Yan: "It's hard to say right now. If things go well tomorrow, if things go poorly, I might not be able to go."

Peng Yiwei: "Deng Xuefeng won't give you leave?"

Le Yan: "It's not that I won't give it. It's just that I want to ask for a few more days, and I'm in the process of seeing it."

Peng Yiwei's call came in immediately.

Before Le Yan could pick up the greeting, Peng Yiwei on the other side asked straight to the point:
"Cooperate?"

"Cooperation?" Le Yan found a deserted corner and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"

As a director, in order to get the desired picture, Peng Yiwei can shoot dozens of shots per shot, which is very inefficient.

But as a conspirator, he made his purpose clear in just one sentence:
"I can help you get fake news from Deng Xuefeng, but you need to cooperate with me to make Deng Xuefeng come back."

Leyan stopped and said in a calm tone:

"Director, I don't think Teacher Deng will listen to you."

You may not know what he said about you in front of me.

The scolding is so filthy. I swear you don’t want to hear it.

Peng Yiwei laughed obscenely:

"How many days off do you want?"

Leyan leaned against the wall in the corridor and thought:

"One week."

Deng Xuefeng didn't approve it for 5 days. I don't believe you can give it to me for a week.

After hearing the answer, Peng Yiwei hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.

A minute later, the office door not far away was pushed open violently.

Deng Xuefeng, with red eyes, walked straight towards Leyan and asked seriously as he walked:
"When will Peng Yiwei go to the Lion City?"

Leyan replied confusedly:
"tonight."

Deng Xuefeng rolled down his sleeves and left angrily.

The actions of Peng Yiwei and Deng Xuefeng put Leyan in trouble.

One said he would ask for leave for him, but then he disappeared.

One asked Peng Yiwei when he would go to the Lion City and said nothing else.

Are you two playing with me?
It seems that I still can't count on others, I can only rely on myself.

After school, after finishing the draft, Leyan came to the office again to look for Deng Xuefeng, hoping to take him down with this mouth. Unexpectedly, he was rejected and the door was locked.

Shouldn't it?

Deng Xuefeng, an old bachelor, would go home after dinner at school every day, so the office door would not be locked so early.

You knew I was coming after school, so you escaped early?

Le Yan had no choice but to leave, and happened to meet the physical education teacher waiting for the bus at the school gate.

A big secret was discovered with such a set of words!

"Lao Deng has asked for leave."

"Are you asking for leave?" Le Yan's eyes widened.

"I said I was going out for a trip, so I left in the afternoon to catch the evening flight."

Le Yan guessed that Deng Xuefeng's leave must be related to Peng Yiwei, but what does this have to do with his leave?

Lao Deng didn't approve of his fake job either.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Peng Yiwei, asking him what the situation was.

After about half an hour, news about Peng Yiwei came belatedly.

Peng Yiwei: "Deng Xuefeng has asked for leave. Don't you want to go away for a few days?"

Le Yan: "I don't know what the teacher is, but not going to school without permission is truancy. It's very serious!"

Peng Yiwei: "Isn't it easy to tell him? Tell him face to face in the Lion City that you are here."

Le Yan: "???"

Le Yan: "Which Lion City did Mr. Deng go to?"

Peng Yiwei: "Didn't you tell him that?"

Le Yan was completely confused.

Le Yan: "I just told him that you are going to the Lion City tonight."

Peng Yiwei: "I told Deng Xuefeng that I wanted to force you to sign another movie with me. He was so angry that he wanted to arrest me offline. I did what I promised you. Don't forget what you promised me."

Peng Yiwei: "I'm going to fly. I'll contact you in the Lion City and let's discuss it in the long term."

Leyan closed her eyes in pain.

Where is this going? ?
Le Yan gritted his teeth and took the next day's flight to Lion City as originally planned.

There were a lot of people on this trip. After all, it was the Crown Prince who was going on an expedition, and the momentum was extremely huge.

With guard Ni Zhen protecting him, Zhiduo Xingji Xueli holding the battle, the old naughty boy Peng Yiwei supporting him from a distance, and Ge Man who can turn things around at critical moments. Le Yan felt that he had a chance to fight the old monster Deng Xuefeng.

Deng Xuefeng, let’s have a showdown between you and my master and apprentice in the Lion City! ! (End of chapter)
