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

Deng Xuefeng was the second member of the crew to arrive in Singapore.

Since the beginning of the year, the relationship between the two has been lukewarm, mainly because Le Yan is rude.
Why do you have to criticize Deng Xuefeng and Peng Yiwei when you can do something else?

After the Chinese New Year, Deng Xuefeng joined the crew to film a movie, and Le Yan was busy traveling around for concerts, so we didn't see each other during this period.

After the filming was completed, Deng Xuefeng immediately packed his luggage and flew to Singapore. He didn't even go back home because he wanted to create more time for the two of them to be alone and repair his relationship with Le Yan.

LeYan went to see Louis as soon as he got off the plane, and Deng Xuefeng pulled LeYan out as soon as he got off the plane, saying that he had worked hard for several months and had lost weight from singing and dancing, so he wanted to take him to eat something good and have some fun.

Deng Xuefeng chose the most upscale restaurant in Lion City. After dinner, he took Le Yan to various high-end stores. Whenever Le Yan took a look at something, he would ask if he wanted it.

Facing Deng Xuefeng's enthusiasm, Le Yan's mood was not very high.

"My fan circle is too narrow," Le Yan pointed to the magnificent shops and restaurants around him and said dejectedly, "In a place like this, I'm not as popular as you."

As the newly crowned Best Actor at last year's Lens Film Festival, Deng Xuefeng has been very active in the international film scene over the past year. There are special reports about him every month, and he also continues to attend large and small film festivals with his other films.

Lion City is a city born for movies, gathering a large number of companies and practitioners in the film industry. With the Lion City Film Festival awards ceremony approaching, the probability of Lao Deng being recognized on the street is very high.

On the other hand, Le Yan’s total number of fans is more than ten times that of Deng Xuefeng, but today he was not stopped by anyone for autographs. There were even some ignorant people who asked Le Yan to help take photos.

In fact, many of the people who came to Deng Xuefeng for his autograph also recognized Le Yan. After all, Le Yan had created a glorious period in the Lion City. But they were not Le Yan’s fans. They were just more excited to see Deng Xuefeng.

"Your fans are also very nice." In the past few years since his comeback, Deng Xuefeng has become more open-minded and has adopted more modern vocabulary. He is no longer so old-fashioned. "Young girls are the main force in chasing stars and are willing to spend money on idols. Others envy you for having so many fans."

Industry specializing in surgery.

LeYan’s fans are all young women.

Deng Xuefeng's fans include highly educated people and middle-aged and elderly women, so he is more popular in such high-end occasions.

Le Yan curled his lips without commenting:
“It’s still difficult.”

Deng Xuefeng noticed that Le Yan was in a low mood as soon as he saw him, and he kept sighing in a condescending manner during the two hours they spent together.

Originally, when Le Yan praised him, he wanted to show off, but now that he found the problem, he asked with concern:

"What happened?"

A deep sense of guilt burned in Deng Xuefeng's heart.

It’s all his fault that he hasn’t cared about Le Yan for too long!
He is the same. He is already a grown-up, why would he get angry with a child?

Le Yan imitated Deng Xuefeng and walked slowly on the marble road with his hands behind his back. As he was looking forward, Deng Xuefeng could not see his expression clearly, but he could tell from his tone that Le Yan was indeed worried.

“There was a huge opportunity in front of me, but I had a hard time seizing it.”

It has been more than a week since I met Louis, and there is still no news from there.

LeYan also discussed this matter with the team, and everyone’s views were very negative.

They analyzed the client list that Louis mentioned had been collaborating with the Lion City Film Festival for many years. The good news was that all of them were high-end brands in various categories, the kind that would bring honor to the family, but the bad news was that the probability of these brands signing LeYan was basically zero.

First of all, these big brands only sign one spokesperson among a million, and those who are not top-notch will not even look at them. LeYan hasn't even gotten the domestic spokesperson status for these brands, so it's simply a pipe dream for him to want to get their regional and global endorsements.

Moreover, the more high-end the brand, the more it requires the spokesperson's fan profile to overlap with the brand's audience. LeYan's fan base is indeed huge, and his strength is indeed impressive, but this alone is unlikely to impress brands. They prefer to choose artists whose brand tone matches theirs as spokespersons.

In short, people look down on Le Yan because all his fans are little girls!

After hearing the team's analysis, Le Yan felt very complicated.

It was these fans who made him what he is, and now it is these same fans who are blocking his progress. It is true that success and failure are both due to this group of fans.

But since he entered the industry, Li Yiran taught him that he must be grateful to his fans, who are the "greatest people" in the world to a certain extent.

What can she get from spending money on you, voting for you, and collecting data for you?

There are even many fans who don’t even have the chance to meet their idols in person due to various reasons.
So when facing fans, the only emotion should be gratitude, nothing else.

Thinking of this, Le Yan quickly felt relieved.

Fuck endorsements!
Without you guys, can't I make a name for myself in this world?
You are just stepping stones for me!

I can still climb up without you!!

Originally, he had adjusted his mentality to be very calm, but when he went out shopping today and saw Deng Xuefeng who was loved and sought after by the highly educated crowd, Le Yan couldn't help but have some mood swings, which was noticed by Deng Xuefeng.

Deng Xuefeng also put his hands behind his back:

"What kind of opportunity is it?"

Le Yan told Deng Xuefeng the content of his conversation with Louis and the results of the team's analysis.

The two of them talked as they walked, and when Le Yan finished telling everything, they happened to walk to the beach.

Deng Xuefeng leaned against the guardrail beside the road and looked into the distance:
"Ge Man said that before Bi Xia announced the marriage certificate, the road could be so wide, but now it is only this far."

He imitated the comparative gesture that Geman had made a few months ago.

"But I think she is wrong." Deng Xuefeng put his hands behind his back again.

"I think it makes sense." Le Yan looked at the various people on the beach and wondered how many of you are my fans and how many are Lao Deng's fans?

Although he wouldn't admit it, he was somewhat possessed by demons in his heart.

Deng Xuefeng slapped the guardrail vigorously:
"You are only 22 years old, why do you want to label yourself now? The road ahead of you is wider than the sea. You will definitely encounter various obstacles along the way, but how can you know where you can go if you don't go out?"

After leaving his teaching position, Deng Xuefeng seldom preached to Le Yan, and rarely talked to him about moral principles. He mostly appeared in Le Yan's life as a "kind father".

After not seeing each other for many days, hearing Deng Xuefeng talk about these things again gave Le Yan a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Yes, my fans are young now, will they also be young in the future?
After a few decades, won’t these little girls become old girls?

Moreover, there is no need to wait for decades. Le Yan also slapped the guardrail and shouted at the sea:
“My fans are the best in the world!”

Seeing that Le Yan had finally released the pressure, Deng Xuefeng smiled and turned his head to look at the sea.

If you think Le Yan is not good enough, have you asked his father? !
joke!

After arriving in Singapore, Le Yan started a leisurely meeting mode.

The first shot designed by the team for Le Yan was after the opening of the Lion City Film Festival. Before that, no work was assigned to him. Le Yan had a lot of free time. He met one or two friends every day, chatted with Lao Deng, walked on the street, ate well, drank well, and slept well. There was nothing else to do.

But Louis is going to be very busy!

Ever since he met Le Yan, Louis is either meeting guests or on his way to meet guests every day. The sixty-year-old man exudes the work passion of a sixteen-year-old boy.

In order to facilitate the cooperation between LeYan and various brands, he tried every possible means and even risked his reputation, but half a month passed and not a single customer agreed.

He was the chairman of the Lion City Film Festival Organizing Committee, but he was unable to fulfill any of the things he promised.

How can he have the face to see his beloved Le Yan again?
If it were last year, his face would still have some weight, and with his lobbying, at least one or two people would sign LeYan for the sake of the Lion City Film Festival.

But last year, all the data plummeted, and these people were scared.

Tell me! Are you trying to cheat me out of money again?

“Louis, if it weren’t for the fact that we have been cooperating with the film festival for more than ten years and had not created a deep inherent perception among users that we wouldn’t even want to invest this year, I suggest that you focus on how to improve the film festival’s data performance this year. We were so disappointed last year!” said an obese white woman angrily.

No matter what your title is, the one who pays is the boss.

Louis spread his hands and said sincerely:
"Alice, the reason why the data dropped last year was because Yan didn't participate. This year, with his participation, the data will definitely go up. You don't know how crazy his fans are. These fans are called 'rich old women who spend money like water' by other fan groups. They will definitely boost the sales of your products!"

In order to promote LeYan, Louis did a lot of homework, even the nicknames of LeYan's fan club in the industry were not spared.

But most of the articles he found were in Chinese. Through the poor online Chinese-English conversion, he could generally understand the content, especially the data part, but the online translation of "The Rich Woman Who Spends Money Without Blinking" failed.
Louis thinks that LeYan’s fans should not be very old. Do old women in China also love chasing stars so much?

Alice sighed madly to the sky. Louis had been driving her crazy for the past half month. Every time he gave the same reason: how awesome this young idol who was a household name in China was.

But my God, he only has more than 4000 million followers on Instagram, and we require a minimum of 8000 million to sign a spokesperson. Can he be as good as the artists we signed before?

You must be getting senile!

After cursing the deceitful old man in her heart, Alice said calmly:

"I'm sorry, Louis. We are a fast-moving consumer goods brand that has been established for 107 years. We have been all over the world forty years ago. Do you know how many bags of potato chips we sell every day? We don't need a spokesperson who can help us increase our sales! What we need is international fame and high profile!"

"But Yan is different." Louis wanted to strongly recommend it, but Alice rudely sent him away.

Louis was downstairs in the hotel, took out an old leather notebook and drew a big cross on the brand name.

"Stupid sow! Without the brand behind you, who are you? You will definitely pay the price for your stupid decision!"

After the vicious curse, Louis turned his attention to the name of another brand on the notebook:
"Peter, take me to Tom."

"Yes, Mr. Louis."

Louis got back in the car and continued to move towards his next destination. On the way, he recalled the verbal battle he had just had with Alice.

"Should I help Yan get a chance to prove himself?"

After half a month of continuous failures, Louis realized that there might be something wrong with his sales strategy.

These "noble" brand dads care least about those beautiful numbers. They know very well that numbers are the easiest to manipulate because that is how they deal with their leaders.

Therefore, the exaggerated data produced by LeYan's fans are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

Just brush it!
Louis reflected on himself and thought, should he first help LeYan apply for a small identity, let these customers have some candy first, and then help LeYan get an endorsement?
Calculating the time, Louis actually doesn't need to be in a hurry.

LeYan will definitely participate this year. It’s already been half a month. All we need to do is to make him a client before next year’s event.

But how can Le Yan prove himself, and how can this customer get some benefits?

"Mr. Louis, Joe contacted me and said that the crew of "Beautiful Trap" wanted to add a live broadcast event between the opening ceremony and the awards ceremony. The content is to promote the movie and guide users to buy tickets. Because the movie has not been released yet, they asked if we can do this?"

Joe is also a member of the Lion City Film Festival Organizing Committee, mainly responsible for coordinating with the crews of various participating films.

All major film festivals have the same principle: the premiere must be held in the participating country.

As a rule of thumb, most participating films will set the award ceremony as their release date, so any promotional activities before this date will require asking the organizer whether they would agree.

Louis opens his mouth and says no
The unofficial activities carried out by "Beautiful Trap" will definitely divert traffic from other official activities in the same time period. The crew has the data king Le Yan!
Too many people are watching his statistical performance this year, and he can't shoot himself in the foot.

But before he could say it out loud, he swallowed it back, weighing something quickly in his mind.

About 2 minutes later, Louis patted the driver's seat:

"Peter, let's go back."

Peter looked through the rearview mirror and said hesitantly,

"Alice's words are so rude and her attitude is bad. Don't waste your time on her."

Peter saw everything that Louis went through in the past half month. He thought that the Chairman must be crazy. Why did he keep looking at those people's ugly faces tirelessly?

Louis leaned back in his chair comfortably, with a smile on his face:

"Go back to the organizing committee. We're not going anywhere."

“Not going anywhere?” Peter asked in surprise. “I mean, not going anymore?”

Louis said happily:

"Yes, we are not going anywhere. Next we will concentrate on teaching these stupid people a lesson." (End of this chapter)
