Chapter 710

~14 min read 2,705 words

Playing this set, they in China can be considered the ancestors of others.

In the past, there were foreign stars who came to China to participate in announcements, and then a female president spent millions just to invite the star to have dinner together, and then take a few photos.

That star thought there was such a good thing, so he went to the appointment, and it was really just taking photos together.

After the star left, those photos were turned around and replaced by the company the female president worked for, and everyone thought that the star was the new product spokesperson signed by the female president.

It is obvious that the group of people wanted to take photos with Jin Li and wanted to give Jin Li gifts just to take photos.

After Jin Li returns to China, these photos will circulate on major shopping websites to endorse those products.

In fact, for ordinary stars, if they can follow the regular process, the endorsement fee for overseas products will not be very high.

After all, many stars focus on the domestic market, not the foreign market.

Foreign countries have copyright awareness, so they basically sign one if they can, as long as the price is reasonable.

If they don't cooperate with foreign products, they can still use the portraits of stars from other countries as advertisements.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, crossing so many distances, countless national borders, and language barriers, it is very difficult to file a lawsuit to protect rights.

Even if you can really succeed in protecting your rights, the lawyer fees for cross-border lawsuits are estimated to be much higher than the compensation.

Fighting cross-border lawsuits has always been a thankless business.

Especially in countries with lower economic development levels, the lawsuits are harder to fight.

Jin Li was talking to Sui Lingfang on the phone and talked about this matter.

Sister Fang couldn't help but ask: "Then how did you solve it in the end? Just leave directly?"

Jin Li shook her head: "No, after all, I participated in the announcement. After Director Xu stopped it, we recorded the program normally. Those people were stopped once, so they didn't force a second time."

She thought for a while and said: "Afterwards, I took the initiative to contact the program team and asked what product wanted to use my image for endorsement. I said that I could sign another endorsement contract.

The people there contacted me very actively. I don't know if it was out of shame or other reasons, but the endorsement fee they gave was quite good.

I simply learned about the product and the local evaluation, and found that the evaluation was also very good. It took the popular route and sold bags. The design was also OK, so I agreed to sign the endorsement.

I originally thought they would pull me into the studio, but they just let me use the set I was wearing and take a few photos with the product, and that was it."

Mentioning this, Jin Li felt a bit incredible.

"This fee was earned a bit too fast and too simple."

Sui Lingfang: "Can it not be fast? It was originally them who wanted to use improper means first.

And you can't stay in their country forever. When you leave, they have your endorsement contract, and they can just P your photos on it. Who knows if they will abide by the terms in the endorsement contract."

"But this method is the best of the bad methods. If you leave and don't sign a contract, their cost of P-ing pictures is even smaller, and they can steal pictures at will."

Sui Lingfang asked again: "Besides this, did anything else happen?"

Jin Li thought for a while, "They are all small things, nothing to talk about."

Sui Lingfang hung up the phone with suspicion, and turned to call Luo Fan.

Fortunately, they left one person behind for the agent, otherwise it would be too difficult to pry news out of Jin Li.

First, Jin Li's schedule is very busy, and second, she is a typical person who reports good news but not bad news, and doesn't want people to worry.

Not every star's personality is pretentious, and a small thing can be exaggeratedly regarded as a big thing.

Jin Li is the kind of person who tries hard to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.

She doesn't look for trouble easily, and she doesn't flinch when trouble finds her.

But reducing trouble to a minimum and not telling others is also something she is very good at.

Luo Fan's phone was connected, and Sui Lingfang asked straight to the point:

"Jin Li participated in announcements overseas, did something go wrong?"

Luo Fan's first reaction was: "Oh my god, is Jin Li actually willing to tell you?

I have told her many times to tell you, but she said it was a small matter and didn't need to be said, so I didn't tell you."

Sui Lingfang: "So what happened?"

Luo Fan was about to speak, but suddenly reacted and hesitated: "You said this... did Jin Li not tell you?"

Sui Lingfang said speechlessly: "She is an artist, it is normal not to want me to worry.

But you are the agent, I am your boss, I am asking you, do you still want to stand on Jin Li's side? Whose perspective are you standing on?"

Luo Fan immediately honestly said everything out.

"I think this country is really too remote, and it is also very small. The local people's mental state is quite average. When going out, I often see many poor people picking up trash.

On the first day I came here, I told the artist not to go out unless it was a necessary moment.

They are too beautiful and weak. If they really encounter something, it is easy to be kidnapped and extorted. If there is anything, let the assistant go out to purchase.

But even if we guard against it, some accidents still happened."

Sui Lingfang asked nervously: "What accident?"

Luo Fan: "The hotel next to the hotel we live in is haunted!"

Sui Lingfang: "Ah?"

Luo Fan: "Eh, don't believe it, it's really haunted.

But the hotel we are in can't hear any movement. Instead, the residents outside the hotel heard it, saying that they could always hear a cry from the hotel next door in the middle of the night.

But our hotel is completely unaffected. It wasn't until the day we finished living and left that we heard about this from local residents.

They also praised our courage, that we could stay in that ghost place for a week. All the people in the buildings outside our hotel ran away!"

"Sister Fang, I know this is outrageous, but it's really that outrageous.

In addition to the haunting next door to the hotel we lived in, we changed to another country and stayed in a slightly more high-end hotel, and the security was also very strict.

That area is a rich area, and the security is quite good. Everyone thought that no more accidents would happen, but a shooting occurred in the hotel next door.

At that time, I heard the gunshots and was startled. Jin Li and Gu Cheng were relatively calm and let us all stay in the room and not run."

Sui Lingfang's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly asked:

"They told you not to run, you didn't run, what about them? Could it be that they ran away?"

Luo Fan wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Recalling it, he still feels a bit empty and his heart is beating wildly.

"Yes, the two of them really ran out to check. It was about two hours later, they came to knock on our door again and said the danger was lifted and the murderer had been found."

Sui Lingfang's hand holding the phone was a little shaky, "You don't mean to say that the murderer was found by Gu Cheng and Jin Li, right?"

Luo Fan immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, it's not that mysterious.

I don't know where they went, anyway, they said the murderer was found, maybe they saw something.

Later, the danger alarm was lifted, but we didn't dare to stay in that hotel, so we changed to another place, and then nothing happened."

Luo Fan added: "Participating in overseas announcements often has situations, but they are all small situations, very easy to solve.

Instead, the place where we live always pops up a big problem from time to time, and the danger always brushes past us dangerously.

After coming overseas, this is the first time I felt that my luck is okay, and how safe our country is."

Sui Lingfang took a deep breath, "No, it's still too dangerous. I said that Director Xu's person is unreliable in receiving announcements, and he receives every announcement.

Other stars have only two or three trips overseas, he actually found dozens, there must be a problem.

It turns out the problem is here, the place they went to has a problem!"

Of course, there are also many problems with the announcements, even if they were screened by Jin Li once, there are still many problems.

Sui Lingfang: "You guys should come back quickly. It's already October. You have been running publicity overseas for a month in September, so it's time to come back."

Luo Fan: "I have been persuading recently, but Jin Li and Gu Cheng feel that they can still promote it.

Even Director Xu, who has always been on the front line, is afraid. He also wants to go back, but the two stars don't want to go back, so they can only wait."

He thought for a while and felt that he still had to say a few fair words.

"In fact, participating in overseas publicity announcements is not without gains. I can feel that Jin Li and Gu Cheng's fans have expanded a lot.

And the film *Counterattack* can really give people strong energy, especially if the lead actors go to the local area for publicity, the scene is even more noisy.

I can even see a certain belief in the eyes of the fans who came, they admire our Chinese culture very much.

I also discovered during publicity exchanges that they admire Chinese culture very much, which gives me a sense of pride."

"In addition, Jin Li and Gu Cheng are also very powerful. Once they go to a country, that country will add schedules to *Counterattack* to show sincerity, which is really loyal.

I think if the overseas box office can achieve good results, Jin Li and Gu Cheng's publicity will account for at least 40%.

As for the announcements, now our announcements are recommended by others, and the announcement parties take the initiative to recommend other announcements to us, all of which are guaranteed.

Now the announcements we participate in are not like the ones we participated in at the beginning, which often have unexpected situations, they are all very regular."

Finally, Luo Fan said: "So, I think safety can be guaranteed."

Sui Lingfang: "No matter what, you should persuade them to come back as soon as possible.

*Counterattack* will be taken off the shelves in China in mid-October. By then, it will have been taken off the shelves in China, so there is no need for them to continue staying abroad."

Luo Fan: "Okay."

On October 17th, Jin Li and Gu Cheng finally stepped on the plane back to China and returned to China.

And it was also on this day that *Counterattack* broke the box office record of the ninth place in mainland film history, becoming the brand new ninth place!

The media are very optimistic about this film, and on the day it broke the record, they reported it in a large space.

They also realized that *Counterattack* has a very strong momentum overseas.

It is no longer being shown in the mainland, but the overseas market is still continuing to exert force.

Jin Li and Gu Cheng's choice to fly abroad for publicity in September was a very wise choice.

During their publicity period abroad, they also continuously promoted the copyright of *Counterattack*, and many countries wanted to sign introduction contracts.

As long as the conditions are suitable, Director Xu will not refuse anyone.

And relying on the film *Counterattack*, netizens calculated that Jin Li might get a salary between 1 billion and 2 billion.

In a flash, she became a billionaire, and she really didn't lack money anymore.

In addition, she also has another large amount of account sharing, which is the account sharing of the Zodiac Tiger series co-branded with Yajun Watches.

The Zodiac series was launched in August this year, and the account sharing is based on quarterly sales.

The price of one watch is 66,000. As long as 5 million are sold, the dividend can reach 6%.

Of course, this dividend is not based on the sales price, but on Yajun's profit.

"Currently, Yajun Watches has not given specific sales volume. I only know that the global sales volume is 2 million.

If you don't count the Tiger series, but the entire Zodiac series, then the sales volume has exceeded 5 million, but if you count the Tiger series alone, it should be very difficult. Now it is the last month of quarterly sales."

Sui Lingfang took a deep breath, "Based on the pricing cost of this watch, I estimate that the profit cost is more than 30,000. It is normal for watches to earn half.

Especially since the Zodiac is positioned as a high-end watch, the profit cost will only be higher. I think the price of 30,000 is too low.

If you can get 5% of the profit of each watch, then you can at least profit from this bet..."

After seeing that string of numbers, her heartbeat was a bit rapid.

"Three billion!"

Jin Li heard this number and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Even if she is a person who is not interested in money, she is very surprised by this number.

"Is there really that much?" Jin Li asked with interest.

Sui Lingfang took a few deep breaths, "I don't know, this is just a preliminary estimate. My idea is that what you get will only be more than this estimate."

Who would have thought that the box office of the movie *Counterattack* would explode, and it would not be the one that Jin Li harvested the most this year.

Instead, it was the Zodiac high-end luxury watch series that brought her unexpected surprises.

Jin Li shrugged: "No wonder other artists sharpen their heads and want to rush to luxury brands. It turns out that it can really bring great benefits."

Sui Lingfang: "But as artists signed to luxury brands, they can't get the maximum benefit like you. They just sign an endorsement fee and it's solved.

When you were approached by Yajun Watches for cooperation, it seems now that you did take advantage. They needed you, so they were willing to sign sales dividends with you.

You also have the courage to be willing to bet with them.

If *Counterattack* hadn't been launched this year and the box office hadn't exploded, helping you, the sales might not have been so exaggerated now."

All this can only be said to be luck.

When luck comes, you can't stop it.

Jin Li finished reading the subsequent announcement schedule and asked: "How is the script of Yiyi Media changed?"

Sui Lingfang: "They have already found a new screenwriter to write this drama, and signed a training contract, and are urgently modifying it, saying that they want to be able to change it well this year."

Jin Li: "It's not far from January next year, everything is based on quality.

If the quality of the modification is not good, it will be beaten back by me to be modified again, don't be too impatient."

Sui Lingfang: "I will communicate with them."

After solving the announcement problem, Jin Li returned to campus again.
