Chapter 234 Another Thing to Compare in the Entertainment Industry

Yida Records.

"Okay, that's all, everyone, time is limited, let's end the interview here today."

Dong Chen was watching from the sidelines and saw that Lin Zhixing was a little tired when he was being interviewed by the reporter, and the reporter's questions were getting more and more tricky, so he stepped forward to stop it.

Lin Zhixing understood, raised his hand and looked at the time, clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, we have been chatting for forty minutes, and I still have work to do. If you have anything else you want to ask, please come and chat tomorrow!"

Dare to speak, approachable, and humorous...

The reporters were still interested in the interview, but considering that it had indeed been a long time, they didn't bother too much. They thanked Lin Zhixing and waved goodbye.

"goodbye!"

Dong Chen and Lin Zhixing got on the elevator together and couldn't help but comment: "Brother Lin, you are too honest, why do you answer everything truthfully? There will be more and more interviews in the future, and it is not good to always tell the truth. "

"Ouch!"

Lin Zhixing shrugged his shoulders and said, "I made up lies. I thought the question was okay, so I told the truth."

Dong Chen smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to make up lies. Just make it impossible for the other party to choose."

Lin Zhixing frowned and complained: "You kid is crazy about playing games. You treat chatting as a skill. Why can't you select it?"

Dong Chen patted his chest and said, "If you do this, let me give you an example. You are a firefighter now, so you can ask me questions as you like."

"oh……"

Lin Zhixing asked casually and doubtfully, "There is a gas leak at home, what should you call?"

Dong Chen shrugged his shoulders, "My house doesn't use gas, I burn the stove."

? ? ?

Lin Zhixing frowned and continued to ask: "How do you usually travel? In the corridor..."

Dong Chen raised his hand and interrupted: "My family lives in a bungalow."

"Is there anything piled up around the bungalow?"

"Stacked, there's firewood."

“What should I pay attention to when stacking firewood?”

"Don't let it get wet in the rain. Once it gets wet, you won't be able to light it."

"6!"

Lin Zhixing suddenly enlightened, gave a thumbs up and said: "I have mastered the trick of accepting interviews!"

"Reporter: yes or no?"

"Me: yoyo!"

Dong Chen smiled and gave Lin Zhixing a high-five, "That's right, that's right, the example is so vivid. It's just like this, so reporters can't select the target at all."

Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.

Good boy, your emotional intelligence is really good!

…

The elevator stops.

The two of them walked out of the elevator, and Dong Chen chatted: "Brother Lin, the location of the next episode of "Singing the World" has been decided, and it will be on the grassland of Mengcheng."

"Pretty good."

Lin Zhixing chuckled and said, "I haven't been to the grassland yet. I really want to feel the vastness of the grassland."

"Me too."

While chatting, Dong Chen suddenly remembered: "By the way, Brother Lin, I almost forgot, you should go to Sister Hui's office now. She said that after you have been interviewed, she asked you to go find her."

"okay."

Lin Zhixing just wanted to ask about the sale of copyrights, so he turned and walked to the assistant's office.

Passing by the company's composition department...

"Wow, look, the father of our company is here!"

"Last night's "Summer of the Orchestra" was so exciting. Knowledge and action are unified. The only one who can beat me is myself. It made my blood boil!"

"He is simply the king of cunt kings, the man who stands at the top of the Chinese music industry!"

The young people in the composition department were so excited when they saw Lin Zhixing passing by that they all stood up and waved respectfully to say hello.

"Brother Lin, good morning!"

"Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work in bringing glory to our company last night!"

"Brother Lin, do you have time? Can I take a photo with you?"

Lin Zhixing stopped and looked at these young people with dreams. He recalled the first time he reported to the Composition Department. There were so many changes.

"OK, alright!"

…

Twenty minutes later.

Assistant's Office.

"Please come in!"

"Sister Hui, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, yes, Xiaolin, sit down quickly!"

Zhang Sihui waved enthusiastically, opened a box of desserts, opened a cup of milk tea and pushed it across the table, "Try it, you said it was delicious last time, I went to buy it for you this morning!"

"Ouch!"

Lin Zhixing was not polite, picked up a piece of peach cake, took a big bite, and took a sip of milk tea, "Sister Hui, you are suddenly so nice to me, I am a bit flattered..."

"Of course I have to treat you well."

"Zhang Sihui smiled, squinted her eyes and asked: Do you know what your position is in our Yida Records?"

Lin Zhixing shook his head, "Artist status?"

"You are the heart of our company and a cash cow!"

Zhang Sihui gave a thumbs up and said: "Let me tell you this, as long as you are here, you can surpass the artists of one company in the middle music company, and half the artists of the upper-level music company!"

If he continued to praise, Lin Zhixing could no longer suppress the upward corners of his mouth. It's a bit like a king boasting that "one man is worth a million troops".

"Sister Hui, stop talking..."

Lin Zhixing blushed, "Let me correct you, most of them!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Sihui covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, your speaking style is worthy of you. You are right. If you write a popular song, even if they are tied together, they will not be as good as you!"

Lin Zhixing originally planned to say something, but he was too shy.

"but……"

Zhang Sihui changed the topic and said: "In fact, the influence of artists and the ability to attract money from entertainment companies are not only based on their works, but also their commercial value."

"Commercial value? For example?"

Although he is a time traveler, it is Lin Zhixing's first time working in a music company and he does not understand many things.

"Dai Dian, I called you here today mainly to talk to you about this matter."

Zhang Sihui picked up the phone, unlocked the screen, and handed it to Lin Zhixing, "I was watching a short video just now. Please watch this video. If you don't understand after watching it, ask me again."

"good."

Lin Zhixing nodded and pressed the play button on the screen.

[Inventory of the top five luxury goods endorsements by domestic entertainment artists. Who is the top in terms of commercial value? Do you have one? 】

[Fifth place: Jiang Bin...]

Lin Zhixing didn't recognize this person, so he swiped the screen to skip.

[Fourth place: Super July M captain Guo Jiahe. Has three luxury product endorsements: Guerlain brand, Bulgari Asia Pacific spokesperson, and L'Oréal Paris brand spokesperson. 】

"???"

The familiar name Guo Jiahe made Lin Zhixing stop sliding his finger on the screen.

Domestic entertainment artists rank fourth in terms of number of luxury goods endorsements?

Is he so awesome?

Good guy, even if he doesn't sing anymore, he can live a lifetime of food and drink just by relying on endorsement fees, right?

Lin Zhixing was greatly shocked and turned up the volume on his mobile phone to see who the three artists were who surpassed Guo Jiahe.

[Third place: Liu Shiwen. Four luxury goods endorsements: Chanel, Omega, Prada Beauty, and Valentino. 】

[Second place: Li Bala. A darling of the fashion world. There are six luxury goods endorsements, including three for the Dior series, as well as global endorsements from Mibiki, Panerai and Clarins. The king of the post-90s generation! 】

[First place: Liu Xian. Among the top seven luxury goods endorsements, LV and Bulgari are both top luxury brands, as well as the United Arab Emirates’ image endorsement, where one person represents a city. 】

The three celebrities ranked in front of Guo Jiahe are all female celebrities.

The person ranked first opened Lin Zhixing's eyes. It turns out that the country can represent him. He is so awesome!

Seeing that Lin Zhixing had finished watching the video, Zhang Sihui asked with a smile: "If there is anything you don't understand after watching it, you can ask me."

Lin Zhixing scratched his head and asked curiously: "Tell me about the hierarchy. I can't understand the global and brand names."

Zhang Sihui nodded and explained in detail: "Spokesperson>Brand Ambassador>Brand Friend>Brand Friend."

"Regions are also divided, global spokesperson > Asia Pacific spokesperson > Chinese spokesperson."

"Also, the more expensive the products endorsed, the higher the level. Jewelry and ready-to-wear are of a higher level than beauty and skin care. In domestic entertainment, if there are spokespersons who endorse three or more luxury goods, they are very good."

After listening, Lin Zhixing understood.

Global spokespersons are the most powerful, and the more expensive the product, the more prestigious it is.

It seems that it hasn’t been three years since Guo Jiahe debuted, right? In such a short period of time, he was able to reach the fourth place in domestic entertainment and the first among male stars. It is really amazing!

Lin Zhixing suddenly remembered that he had also endorsed it, and asked curiously: "Sister Hui, how is the endorsement of my M-Zone card calculated? Is it valuable?"

Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, "This is just an endorsement of domestic products, it doesn't have much value."

Good guy, in terms of commercial value, there is no scum left after being crushed by Guo Jiahe!

"All right."

Lin Zhixing touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly and asked, "So about the endorsement you just mentioned, is there a brand that wants me to endorse it?"

"yes!"

Zhang Sihui's lips curled up and she said: "It's a huge foreign brand. Mercedes-Benz wants to invite you to be a global spokesperson. There is no inspection period. You will land directly and sign directly from the headquarters."

"ah?"

Lin Zhixing was a little confused after hearing this, and asked himself why?

"Is it because the song "See You Again" became a hit on YouTube? Is it because of this that they fell in love with me?"

"I'm not sure about this."

Zhang Sihui put her index finger on her red lips, raised her eyes and thought for a while, then guessed: "Maybe they are attracted by your current influence. You even composed the World Cup theme song, and many of the soundtracks are also very popular abroad... …”

"Who was the last global spokesperson of Mercedes-Benz and what did he do?"

Lin Zhixing wanted to judge their threshold for selecting people based on the previous appointment.

Zhang Sihui replied: "The last global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz was the Japanese actress Natsuki, who is a famous Japanese female movie star."

Natsuki? This name is so familiar...

Since anyone who acts in movies can be an actor, then there is really no problem for me as a singer.

【Ding! 】

[The scene has been triggered! 】

[Congratulations to the host for winning the songs "Drift" & "All the Way North"! 】

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

Two songs at once?

Lin Zhixing was a little flattered.

Both songs are from the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou, "Drift" is the theme song of the movie, and "All the Way North" is the episode of the movie.

The movie "Initial D" brought the car AE86 and the Akina Mountain Fire out of the circle.

Lin Zhixing once thought this car was very awesome, but later he learned that the AE86 is the "Corolla" that is now dubbed the third aunt on the road by netizens.

A stands for engine, E stands for Corolla, 8 stands for the fifth generation, and 6 stands for 1.6L displacement. I have been fooled by the movie for a long time.

Although the song "Drift" is not very popular, it is Jay Chou's first electronic music song.

The song "All the Way North" is very popular.

Lin Zhixing likes this song very much.

From the lyrics and the overall tone, "All the Way North" is really JAY's saddest song.

The music sounded, as if they had just broken up, riding a motorcycle in the wind and rain, and the scenes of their lives kept flashing in their minds...

"Xiao Lin, are you willing?"

"Oh..."

Lin Zhixing's thoughts were interrupted by Zhang Sihui, who nodded and asked curiously: "Then as the highest-level global spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz, what remuneration will they give me?"

Zhang Sihui said: "You can choose any car under its brand, plus an endorsement fee of 20 million."

"I am willing."

After hearing this generous remuneration, Lin Zhixing nodded without hesitation, "For the car, I choose the Mercedes-Benz Normadisen Navigator, Sister Hui, please help me communicate!"

The sedan is available. This car is a motorhome, worth more than 13 million, weighing 23 tons, almost the same weight as a tank, and is called the Noah's Ark in the car.

Lin Zhixing thought it would be so cool if he could drive this car to record the next episode of "Singing Around the World" on the grassland.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

...

...

The next morning.

Haiyun Records.

"Good morning, Jiahe!"

"Good morning!"

Guo Jiahe walked into his office with a fat-reducing meal in his hand, turned on his computer, and ate lunch while browsing Weibo news.

Although the next episode of "I Am the King of Singers" is about "singing and dancing", which he is good at, he did not relax at all. He has been training very hard in recent days and has not been online.

The first message he received online made Guo Jiahe particularly happy.

[Peter Pan 500W unboxing. Because it's you, it happens to be you. He said that he would work hard to be the best. Today he did it! ]

The picture on Weibo is a photo of jewelry.

As a spokesperson, I didn't expect that a rich woman would pay 5 million for me as soon as the new product was officially announced.

In the future, it is just around the corner for me to become a man pursued by luxury brands all over the world! By then, your whole body will be covered with advertising space, and you will make a lot of money.

"Fuck!"

Guo Jiahe saw a news about Lin Zhixing, and the chicken breast in his mouth almost spit out.

"Out of 10 points, I give you 8.8 points, you are 1.2 (a bit stupid)."

Although the first and second place of the show are very strong, it is a bit stupid to claim to be the first.

The first bird to stick out gets shot, it is not a loss for others to lose to you, but it is too embarrassing for you to lose to others!

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in!"

A middle-aged man walked in and smiled and congratulated: "Jiahe, the contract has been signed. Congratulations on becoming the brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz!"

Guo Jiahe put down his chopsticks and patted the table excitedly, "It's not easy. After a two-year probation period, they finally agreed!"

"That's right."

Guo Jiahe smiled and asked: "I heard that they are selecting a global spokesperson. Have you chosen one?"

The man nodded, "Yes, they have chosen it. The name has been announced."

"Who?"

"Lin Zhixing."

"Ah?"

Guo Jiahe's face was full of disbelief, and he frowned and asked: "How could it be him? Mercedes-Benz didn't have a probation period for him, and directly made an exception?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Okay, I know, you go out and close the door!"

Guo Jiahe felt a splitting headache at the moment. In a few days, he will attend an event with the global spokesperson.

This is great, his status is higher than mine?
