Chapter 177 Cooperation
ps. This is the only chapter for today…………
"What the hell! (What the hell!)" Leon pushed Seifert away, "You are pretty good at taking advantage. I'll break your hand next time!"
Seifert explained: "Leon, you are so stingy. I just greeted your sister in a warm American way."
Luo Quan smiled: "It's a small thing, it's a small thing, but I'm not used to such a warm greeting."
Leon glared at him: "Did you hear that?" Then he dragged Seifert away from Luo Quan and separated him.
"You and Leon came here to celebrate my birthday?" Luo Quan asked Seifert curiously.
Seifert nodded: "Actually, there are other things. Of course, celebrating your birthday, Miss Luo Quan, is also very important."
Lyon said: "Universal Music China Branch said that I am quite popular here, so they asked me to come and visit for a few days to see if there are any development prospects.
The person in charge here told me that female fans in China are very capable of making money, far surpassing those in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. They felt that there were unlimited business opportunities here, so they arranged for us to come here.
By the way, I'm not very familiar with the situation here. Are the female fans here really as rich as he said? Are you willing to spend money? "
"..." When Luo Quan heard this, he didn't know how to complain for a moment. He could only say that the person in charge really understood the ecology of China's rice circle.
"If you are rich, that's quite rich! If they are willing, they can even use your photo to cast a screen for you in Times Square for a day." Luo Quan's tone was so confident that both Seifert and Leon were a little surprised.
The price of advertising on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square is quite high. It is charged per second. If it were to be advertised for a day, it would cost at least seven to eight million US dollars.
Usually only big companies go to the big screen in Times Square to promote their products. Celebrities rarely spend this money. If fans are willing to use this to promote their favorite idols, it means they are really rich. .
Seifert's eyes glowed with gold: "I suddenly fell in love with this land full of affection."
Leon glanced at him coldly: "I think you love money, right?"
"Don't you like it?" Seifert asked.
"As long as you have enough money, use it. What I want more is..."
"What I want more is to write works that the world can listen to, works that can be recognized by the public." Seifert continued what Lyon said, "This is what you want to say, right? I know you have lofty ambitions, The ideological realm is far beyond that of us ordinary people, but it is very legal for fans to give krypton money to their favorite stars. We gain wealth, they gain satisfaction, and you can have more listeners and get more recognition. This It’s obviously a win-win situation.”
Leon glanced at Seifert: "It's up to you, but please don't let me accept ads again, especially underwear ads!"
Luo Quan looked surprised: "You also filmed commercials for underwear."
Leon's face turned dark: "That was the most embarrassing moment in my life. The director made me hold up my underwear and giggle in front of the camera like a fool. Even if I was pointed at and scolded by black people in an underground rap competition, it wouldn't have been so uncomfortable!"
Seifert was shocked: "How can you say that? Those are ck's underwear (a luxury brand)! And they also paid up to 10 million US dollars in advertising fees!"
Leon was furious: "Can I buy the dignity I lost with ten million?"
"It makes money, it's not shabby."
Leon's tone was extremely decisive: "In short, that's what I said, don't arrange any more advertisements for me. I would rather hold ten more concerts than shoot another advertisement!"
Seifert shrugged: "You are the boss, I listen to you."
"Leon, what do you think of idols?" Luo Quan suddenly asked Leon a question.
"Idol, am I not an idol?" Leon chuckled.
Seifert raised his finger and shook it: "No, idol is a neutral term in the United States. Your current nickname is Little Milk Dog."
Leon immediately gritted his teeth: "I swear to God, if you dare to mention this word again, I will give you a slap in the face!"
After threatening his friend, Leon turned to Luo Quan and said: "When I debuted, I participated in an American reality talent show, and I made a lot of preparations before going, such as practicing dancing and so on.
However, because the time was too short, Wu did not practice particularly well, so she was eliminated in the third period. "
Seifert lamented for Lyon: "Those judges were too harsh. Even though Lyon's online support rate was so high, he was still eliminated because of insufficient professional ability."
Leon smiled: "That's the situation. After this incident, I spent a lot of time practicing singing and dancing, but in the end, the only song that I could really show off was Baby.
By the way, why are you asking me this? "
"I'm currently working on a show about a girl idol talent show. Are you interested in being a guest on the show?"
"This matter..." Seifert suddenly interrupted, "We should discuss it carefully."
It can be seen that Leon is ready to agree immediately. His sister asks him for help, and he is only a guest for one episode, so he has no reason to refuse.
However, in addition to being Lyon's good friend, Seifert is also his agent. This kind of thing will definitely not be left to Lyon.
“Of course it’s a good thing to be on China’s show, which is also the purpose of our coming here, but we don’t know the specific content of this show or the producers behind it, so we can’t agree so quickly.
This is our first time in China, so we need to be careful about every program we accept, so I ask for your understanding, Miss Luo Quan. "
Luo Quan nodded: "That's true, but the investor who produced this program is quite powerful. After all, it's Penguin."
"Happy cooperation!" Seifert immediately extended his hand and smiled.
Luo Quan was confused. How could he change his attitude faster than flipping through a book? He had to think carefully just now, but he was already working together happily in less than a second?
Seifert smiled and said: "We are very familiar with Penguin's size in China. Before Global China Distribution arranged for us to come here, we focused on Penguin. If we cooperate with them, there will be no problem at all. .”
"I'm just mentioning it. You still have to look carefully at how to sign the specific contract."
"I know what to do about this, but thank you very much for providing Lyon with such an opportunity." Seifert said as he was about to shake hands with Luo Quan, but was grabbed by Lyon.
"Just keep talking, don't move your hands." Leon glared at his friend, then looked at Luo Quan: "I had already obtained the performance permit for foreign artists in China when I came here, so when will the recording of the show be about? "
"If nothing else happens, it should be on the 14th, but before that I have to tell people."
Leon nodded in agreement: "No problem."
…………………………
"You asked your brother to participate in the show?!" Wen Xia was surprised and happy when she heard Luo Quan's report.
Leon and Seifert stood aside with smiles on their faces. They could not understand Chinese.
Luo Quan nodded: "Lyon came to China this time just to increase his popularity and wash away the fans. The show is very popular now. If he comes, it can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone."
"You are really my caring little cotton-padded jacket!" Wen Xia couldn't wait to hug Luo Quan and kiss him. Yesterday, he just mentioned that he wanted to take a photo with Leon, but Luo Quan directly invited him to participate in the show. This is more important than taking a photo directly. too much!
Leon is now a popular star in Europe and the United States. His popularity among young girls at home and abroad is unparalleled. If he can participate in the show, even if he is just a flying guest, it will qualitatively increase the popularity of the entire show!
"I forgot to introduce you, Leon. This is my best friend Wen Xia. You can call her summer. She is the planner of the show I invited you to participate in this time." Luo Quan said to Leon in English introduce.
"Hello, summer." Leon nodded and smiled, extending his hand.
The two of them shook hands lightly and became acquainted.
"I seem to have seen you somewhere." Seifert stared at Wen Xia's face, "I always feel that you look very familiar!"
Leon quickly explained to Wen Xia: "Ignore him, he uses this sentence every time he talks to a girl."
Seifert didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Leon, I'm serious this time. I have no intention of chatting up this girl."
Luo Quan reminded: "Wen Xia was the captain of sweet girli before. Do you know sweet girl? The most popular girl group in South Korea last year."
It’s unclear whether it will be the most popular this year, because captain Wen Xia has quit the group, which is a fatal blow to any girl group.
"I've heard of it!" Seifert nodded immediately. "Although they have never held a concert in the United States, the number of clicks on the video of this girl group on YouTube is very high. It should be the highest among the girl groups at present. It's a pity that the leader has left the group. Now, the popularity is not as good as before.”
Not many Korean boy and girl groups are famous around the world. The girl group only has one sweet girl, and its popularity is neither high nor low.
As for the boy band, there is a very popular one called "The Fireproof Boys". They have won a Grammy and held many concerts in the United States. The concerts were sold out. The album sales are currently the highest among boy bands in Europe and the United States. It's also top-notch.
After a brief exchange of business blows, it was time to get down to business.
As an intermediary, Wen Xia directly contacted the chief producer Zhou Yangwen, and everyone made a video together.
To be honest, Zhou Yangwen actually didn't react. He had just gotten up when he received a call from Wen Xia, saying that Leon had the intention to be a guest in "Creating Girls' Generation".
He knew about Leon, but he didn't expect that Leon was sitting next to Wen Xia and had already arrived in the capital.
Later I found out that he was celebrating Luo Quan's birthday. After sighing that Luo Quan was such a lucky star, Zhou Yangwen got into work mode and became serious.
His English is very good and he can communicate directly with Lyon and Seifert.
What Seifert wants here is not just for Lyon to be on the show. He hopes that Lyon can gain enough popularity in China. At least the number of Weibo fans will increase, and the more the better.
As for the announcement fee for participating in the program, I don't really care about it. I just pay it according to the market price.
Of course, Zhou Yangwen doesn't just want Lyon to finish the last episode. He understands Lyon's value better than Seifert.
This is the first popular foreign star that He has come to visit in many years. Before, they had all been invited out, but not always invited. Speaking of which, Luo Quan really needs to be thanked.
In short, the two parties discussed a lot of work content, ranging from variety shows, programs, music, film and television, covering a very wide range, of course. Not many were finalized in the end. After all, Lyon only came to China to attract fans. Gaining popularity is the key, and the focus of his work is still in the United States.
Moreover, Lyon had said from the beginning that he would not shoot any form of advertising, which also cut off a large number of ways to make money, so that the whole negotiation process took a long time.
However, these were all Seifert and Zhou Yangwen talking about, and the other three people simply ignored them, exchanged Twitter accounts, and took a photo together.
Luo Quan also helped Leon register a Weibo account to prepare him for his next work.
After talking about it for more than an hour, the specific strategy was finally decided, but Luo Quan didn't ask much about the specifics. It was better to know less about the business secrets.
In short, Lyon's trip to China has begun. I heard from him that he will stay in China for at least a month and a half this time. If he has work, he will work, and if he doesn't have work, he will visit various scenic spots in the capital.
Because of the relationship between Luo Ni and Luo Quan, he is still very interested in China, a country with a long history. There are so many internationally renowned attractions in the capital, and he will definitely not want to see them all.
After receiving Leon's instruction, Wen Xia posted a photo of herself, Luo Quan and Leon on Weibo.
The three of them were sitting on the sofa, with Wen Xia sitting in the middle, Luo Quan on the left, and Leon on the right. They were called the winners in life. The accompanying text:
"Luo Quan's younger brother Leon came from the United States to celebrate his sister's birthday. He feels even more handsome in person than in the photos."
One photo, two sentences, and it’s trending again.
In just ten minutes, Wen Xia's Weibo post received tens of thousands of likes. In addition to her own fans, the comment section was filled with fans:
"The crowd was so strong that I never expected that Leon would actually come to China."
"The most handsome man in the world. How can he look so good even from such a disaster-like selfie angle?"
"I used to think Wen Xia was so beautiful that she had no friends, but in today's photo she is actually the most ordinary one."
"Am I the only one who noticed that Luo Quan is celebrating his birthday?"
"The siblings have a good relationship. They came all the way from the United States to celebrate their birthdays. Do you think Luo Quan's parents will also come by then?"
"I suggest you broadcast live at that time. I want to see how beautiful this family can be!"
"Suggestion +1, Yan control said he can't wait!"
And Wen Xia's Weibo has just set off an upsurge of discussion. A Weibo posted by the official blog of "Creating Girls' Generation" has further ignited the atmosphere!
