Chapter 95: Products designed by oneself, the trailer for
Jin Li was a bit surprised, but not particularly surprised.
With the March Sky boy band’s fame, it wasn't strange to have this kind of binding cooperation.
What surprised her was that March Sky actually had several such cooperations.
After all, when she scrolled through their news, no relevant brands popped up.
So Jin Li couldn't guess what products they were bound to for a while.
Suddenly, Jin Li thought of the necklace pendant that Gu Cheng always wore, and it seemed that every member of the March Sky boy band wore that pendant, just with different styles, but the design style was similar, leaning toward the metal industrial style.
Jin Li couldn't help but ask, "Is March Sky’s binding cooperation jewelry? The pendant necklace on their necks?"
Sui Lingfang nodded, "Yes, but it’s not just the pendant. If you observe their phone cases carefully, you will find that all four of them use the same brand."
"In addition, if they want to perform, the musical instruments they use are always from the same company. This is probably also a binding cooperation."
She said, "The industry doesn't know how many deep binding cooperations they have signed. I’m afraid only they themselves and Tianding Entertainment know."
The three things Sui Lingfang cited were all things the March Sky boy band took the initiative to reveal.
But there were many things that were not revealed, but discovered by fans.
After all, deep binding with a brand doesn't mean you have to carry the brand’s things every time you go out.
You just need to make sure you carry and use these brands’ products every time you go out daily.
What is needed is for fans to inadvertently discover what products the March Sky boy band uses daily, and then follow suit and buy those products.
This kind of endorsement is more effective than official soft-ad endorsements.
Fans can now distinguish what is a business endorsement and what is something their idols truly like.
Little do they know, as an artist, a celebrity is full of commodity attributes from head to toe.
The so-called accident is just an inevitable accident.
Jin Li said cautiously, "So what does Duomi Makeup want me to do?"
Sui Lingfang: "According to the basic requirements of deep binding in the industry, they want you to design a product yourself and give up the sales sharing of that product."
"At the same time, they also want you to give guidance on some products and participate in the design with multiple designers, so as to hype it up as a gimmick."
"In addition to the sales sharing of the products you design yourself, Duomi Makeup is very sincere and is also willing to give up part of the shares to you. During the contract period, you can participate in the company’s dividends every year."
After hearing this, Jin Li couldn't help but sigh, "Duomi Makeup is really generous!"
Sui Lingfang also agreed, "The conditions they proposed are quite sincere in my eyes."
"Originally, I saw him take the initiative to visit, thinking I could squeeze a wave of profits, but once this combination of punches came out, it immediately confused me."
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way.
This sharing ratio and sales look about right. If you agree to the cooperation, to tell you the truth, the price offered now is just right.
Duomi Makeup is not afraid that you won't take it; they are afraid that you will take too little. The more you take, the harder you will promote it.
Sister Fang’s words changed, "But I don't dare to help you ask for more. I’m afraid that if something goes wrong, you will become the first person in charge, and you will have to take the blame for everything."
Jin Li agreed with Sui Lingfang’s idea.
What money can be taken more, what money cannot be taken, what money can only be taken in this proportion... In the circle, there are many ways to do things.
Take one more cent, exert one more effort.
In all walks of life, this rule is a tacitly understood public rule.
Jin Li asked again, "If you are willing to carry out deep binding cooperation, do you need to shoot another promotional video?"
Sui Lingfang not only nodded, but then took out a script.
Jin Li looked at this scene in a daze.
Sui Lingfang said in a deep voice, "Duomi Makeup came prepared this time, and even prepared the promotional script for you, saying they plan to shoot with the theme of 'The Peony Pavilion'."
In the script, you will transform into a mermaid lost in the Grand View Garden, and then experience all kinds of wonderful journeys.
While adventuring, Duomi Makeup will insert various products. You need to take their products and find clues to escape from the garden.
Jin Li looked at the script in her hand with a wry smile, "Why do I have a premonition that Duomi Makeup is sure I won't refuse!"
Even the script was prepared in advance. How sincere is this?
Sui Lingfang couldn't help but smile, "Still the same sentence, they don't worry that you won't take it, they worry that you will take too little."
"I probed from Manager Nan’s words that if you are not satisfied with the current sharing ratio, we can talk about it again."
Jin Li asked thoughtfully, "If we carry out promotional binding, how many years does Duomi Makeup hope I will sign?"
"Ten years."
Jin Li refused without hesitation, "No, it’s too long!"
Sui Lingfang followed closely, "I also think it won't work, so I helped you refuse. Later, Manager Nan changed his words and said to sign for five years. The sharing he mentioned is all calculated based on five years."
Participating in and designing a product yourself is an unprecedented experience for Jin Li.
Even if she didn't participate in the sales sharing of that product, Jin Li was very interested.
She mused, "I can sign, but I don't know about the sharing ratio. I hope the company can give me a definite suggestion."
Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows and said with joy, "No problem!"
"Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe President Xiao’s team. In terms of investment, they are experts."
"Your deep binding cooperation is the first time in the company. President Xiao will definitely let his financial team take action to help you analyze it!"
Jin Li asked curiously, "Is President Xiao’s financial team very strong?"
Sui Lingfang smiled meaningfully, "This shouldn't be asked of me, but of Duomi Makeup."
Duomi Makeup side.
At this time, they didn't know what kind of terrifying existence they were targeted by.
Reaching a deep binding cooperation with Jin Li was something that was negotiated after the meeting.
And at the beginning of the meeting, they talked about introducing new production lines and replacing old production lines with new ones.
After Manager Nan negotiated with Chenxi Entertainment, he immediately returned to the head office and began to prepare for the introduction of production lines.
This proposal was put forward by him, so naturally, he followed it to the end.
On the other side, Jin Li returned to the apartment.
She immediately shared this happy event with her sisters.
[Pink Girls Group]
Koi: [Received Duomi Makeup’s deep binding cooperation request. I might have to design a cosmetic or something else myself. Any recommendations?]
NANA: [Don't touch cosmetics, advice from someone with experience. The product quality is too uncontrollable!]
[Because you designed it yourself, fans will only look for you. If the quality is a problem, they will only think you didn't put your heart into it!]
Mengmeng: [+1, not only cosmetics, don't touch skincare products either. The quality is very uncontrollable. If fans buy inferior goods, they will ask your team for compensation.]
Tongtong: [Experience from someone who has been there, don't easily try things you have never done before, such as being a product designer.]
[You will never know how disastrous the products designed without any experience are, and how easy it is to have problems.]
Jin Li: [...According to what you said, I can't control the quality of the products, and it’s best not to intervene in the appearance of the products. Then what else can I do?]
Pearl: [Melon-eating person online~ Pear Baby, your thinking has entered a misunderstanding. The products they cited are all makeup and skincare. Can’t you just avoid them?]
[Besides products applied to the face, aren't there many small tools for makeup? I don't believe that if you design a small tool, it will also overturn?]
[At worst, just draw a cute koi cartoon pattern on it, and treat it as if you designed it. Drawing is also a kind of design!]
One word wakes the dreamer!
Qiguan Mingzhu’s words opened up a new train of thought for Jin Li.
Yes, why bother making a fuss in a mature and difficult-to-intervene field.
If you really want to participate, it’s better to open up a brand new track.
Take advantage of the time left.
Jin Li immediately went to search for what tools are needed for makeup. Starting with tools is less likely to make mistakes.
Another few days passed.
It was the end of May.
The March Sky boy band’s group variety show was still not prepared, and Jin Li was still staying in the apartment waiting for notification.
And at this time, the previously filmed "Ideal Lover" had already edited a wave of advance trailers!
The biggest difficulty for "Ideal Lover" was the scenes of Princess Liu Ci.
Jin Li saved the day at the time, pushing the progress of the crew’s filming to the end.
Later, Qiu Qiwen returned to the crew to film for a few days after participating in the "PICK~ Next Station Diva" group night, and posted on Moments:
[The first play of my life has officially finished filming. Finished filming photo.jpg]
At that time, Jin Li also liked it for her.
Unexpectedly, in less than a month, the trailer for "Ideal Lover" was edited first.
It can only be said that China’s film and television industry is too involutionary, and all processes are pushed very quickly.
This trailer was also reminded by Sui Lingfang to Jin Li to watch.
Jin Li immediately asked, "The trailer is out, does it mean this film will be released soon?"
Sui Lingfang said positively, "At the fastest half a month, at the latest one to two months, "Ideal Lover" can be officially launched on major platforms."
Jin Li was very surprised, "Can editing be done so fast?"
Sui Lingfang: "A few years ago, it couldn't be done at such a fast speed. No matter what, it had to be edited for three months, and then various processes had to be added."
"However, in recent years, AI technology has exploded. In terms of editing, many crews have referred to the processing methods given by AI, which saves time and effort."
"AI can help complete the general direction, and editors only need to focus on detail control and perfect the plot."
"This allows many crews to complete editing within a month. If it is a skilled hand, it can be completed in half a month. The speed of "Ideal Lover" belongs to the normal level in the industry."
Speaking to the end, Sui Lingfang reminded Jin Li to watch the trailer, then write down her thoughts and forward it.
"If you can't write it, I’ll write it for you," Sister Fang said.
Jin Li shook her head, "No need, I can still do these thoughts."
After hanging up the phone, she opened the blog.
Without searching, big data had already automatically pushed the trailer of "Ideal Lover" to her.
Clicking on the video, first came a rush of footsteps, and a man ran into the house in a panic.
"Something big is bad, something big is bad, the Liu clan has been defeated!"
Immediately after, the male and female leads appeared one after another, dodging various assassination scenes and scheming against each other.
Jin Li observed the trailer. The rhythm was very fast, revealing a lot of information, but the editing was smooth, and various suspense was suppressed very well.
At least from the information revealed in the front, she was interested in watching this show.
Suddenly, Princess Liu Ci came into view.
She was wearing red clothes, turning around under the pear tree with an innocent and romantic face. From her expression, it could be seen that she was a princess who was deeply loved.
But the next second, the screen suddenly turned.
Liu Ci knelt heavily in the main hall, crying and shouting, "I don't want to marry, no, I don't want to!"
However, the next second, it was replaced by her with tears on her face, being forced into the sedan chair by soldiers.
Liu Ci’s screen only appeared for less than 5 seconds, but Jin Li felt that just these 5 seconds were enough to make people impressive.
Mainly because the contrast between before and after was too big.
Later, the male and female leads experienced some major events, and it could be seen that the situation was very tense. What surprised Jin Li was that at the end of the screen—
The male lead vomited blood and fell to the ground, looking forward with unwillingness.
A pair of red shoes appeared in the lens.
The male lead’s eyes widened slightly, and he said in disbelief, "It’s actually you!"
The screen turned into darkness, and the trailer ended here.
Jin Li saw the pair of red shoes and was also a bit stunned.
Eh, she had filmed this scene!
A thought flashed through Jin Li’s mind, and she opened the blog to see netizens’ comments on the trailer.
Sure enough, everyone thought that the pair of shoes that appeared last was the biggest villain in the whole show!
Jin Li was amused. This was really a grievance!
She pondered, but this also indirectly explained the art of editing.
You only need to process it a little bit to make people who don't know the truth misunderstand. The crew obviously left a lot of suspense in the trailer and also misled many viewers.
But later, Jin Li felt that this was quite good.
Although a lot of information was revealed in the trailer, it was impossible for the audience to know the plot all at once.
This allows the audience to be attracted by the trailer, watch the feature film, and get a different experience in the feature film.
Unlike some films, which only edit the essence of the whole show into the trailer, the feature film is rotten.
On the internet.
After the trailer of "Ideal Lover" came out, the most heated discussion among netizens was Jin Li who appeared in it.
Although she was just a supporting role, she overwhelmed the male and female leads.
[God, Jin Li actually went to act!]
[Ah ah ah, the princess under the pear tree is so beautiful. I would like to call that frame movie-level texture!]
[I always thought Jin Li could only play simple, kind, and world-free roles. The appearance of the princess at the beginning completely met my fantasy about Jin Li.]
[But the next second, the princess was severely abused. Emma, why do I feel so distressed?]
[At least from the trailer, I feel Jin Li’s acting is okay. She cries beautifully and hurts bitterly.]
Jin Li scrolled through the comments, forwarded the trailer, and added a message.
Jin Li: [Under the pear blossom tree that year, seeing the gentleman once was a mistake for life. From then on, it was one heart and one mind, only for one person. Even if I die, I don't regret it. Video.mp4]
She reviewed it several times. Well, it was a very standard little white flower statement.
After sending the comment, Jin Li didn't care anymore and continued to lower her head to study.
So she didn't know that the netizens’ train of thought had gone astray.
[Since seeing the gentleman once is a mistake for life, then we must abduct the gentleman back and make a mistake for life together!]
[Living in the same quilt and dying in the same hole, I definitely don't regret it! Covering face and stealing smile.jpg]
[One heart and one person, only for one person. If that person doesn't treat you wholeheartedly, then stare at him fiercely!]
[Although I feel the trailer is a bit abusive, Pear Baby, I believe you will definitely kill back, right?]
After Sui Lingfang finished dealing with things, she clicked into Jin Li’s blog to look.
Seeing those netizens’ messages, she was also a bit confused.
She had read the script of "Ideal Lover". The Princess Liu Ci played by Jin Li was completely:
Early stage little white flower + middle stage severely abused and blackened + late stage big villain return + late stage death rescue, a super tragic character.
If you want to talk about abuse, the most abusive person in the whole show is the princess.
But if you want to talk about coolness, the coolest person in the whole show is also the princess. It was very touching when she blackened and killed back.
Abuse and coolness are all on one person. Sui Lingfang believes that netizens will definitely love and hate it.
But now, why are the netizens’ messages all so happy?
Is there a problem with the trailer, or is there a problem with the netizens’ viewing?
On the mental state and train of thought of contemporary netizens _(:3」∠)_
Sui Lingfang flipped through a few circles before finding the reason. It was mainly because the initial comments were crooked, leading to the netizens who came later following the crooked building.
Sui Lingfang thought about it, this situation is also quite interesting, so she ignored it.
At the same moment.
In a public security bureau in Nancheng, a major progress was investigated in a certain case.
At first, the public security investigated the two cases of Dynasty Entertainment and LP separately.
But later, they found that the two cases had a common correlation—
Both have female/male stars under their banner. Prostitution, forcing stars to accompany sleep, and resource replacement through erotic transactions.
This correlation made the public security feel that perhaps the collision of these two cases was not a coincidence.
So they submitted the cases together and investigated them together.
This investigation revealed that Dynasty Entertainment was actually a downstream company developed by LP Entertainment!
A certain shareholder of LP Entertainment holds 60% of the shares of Dynasty Entertainment!
Such a small company as Dynasty Entertainment is involved in tax evasion, so what about such a huge company as LP Entertainment?
Sensing the seriousness of the case, the public security submitted the case again and fed it back to the higher level.
Another two days passed.
All agents and stars in the LP Entertainment building were taken away for investigation!
Last time the public security came, they only took away the high-level. The number of high-level was small, so it did not attract the attention of the outside world.
But this time, all the personnel in such a large building were taken away, and even the stars were no exception.
As soon as the news was revealed, it immediately caused a huge uproar in the outside world!
LP Entertainment had an accident, and peers who were also entertainment companies received the news first.
At this time, there was no relevant news on the internet, but Sui Lingfang could already foresee the storm that would appear later.
She called Jin Li in advance and said seriously, "You should stop the livestream for the time being these few days. The LP incident has been exposed. Just now, not only the agents were taken away for investigation, but even the stars were taken away. It can't be hidden!"
"I’m worried that your livestream room will be rushed in by netizens to ask questions. Even if you are just studying seriously, I’m afraid you won't be able to suppress it."
A thoughtful look flashed in Jin Li’s eyes, and she asked, "Will the stars of LP working outside also be taken away?"
Sui Lingfang said knowingly, "You want to ask about Ji Qinglian’s situation, right? Don't worry about this. She is in the crew and hasn't been affected for the time being."
"I guess this time it’s just taking away some people to investigate some things, and those artists working outside, because of distance and other problems, if necessary, the police will call and let them find a time to visit."
Celebrity gigs are all kinds of things.
The stars of the fire point run all over the world.
Even if the police’s power is great, it is impossible to take away all the LP artists scattered around the world in the first time.
If the batch of artists taken away is investigated and the police find no problems, maybe the other batch of artists outside will not be summoned or questioned.
Jin Li mused, "Sister Fang, how long do you think this storm of LP Entertainment will last?"
Sui Lingfang said seriously, "I don't know, but it’s no problem to make the entertainment industry nervous for a week. Fortunately, you didn't take any gigs or activities this week. Just stay at home and rest!"
After hanging up the phone.
Jin Li immediately called Ji Qinglian.
Before long, Ji Qinglian’s hearty and lively voice came from the phone.
"Little Koi, why did you call me suddenly today? If you have something to say, say it quickly. I have to go to film in ten minutes!"
Jin Li breathed a sigh of relief. She could still make a phone call, at least nothing happened to Qinglian.
She immediately told the status quo of LP Entertainment, and the expression on Ji Qinglian’s face became more and more cautious.
After Jin Li finished speaking, Ji Qinglian said, "I didn't receive any wind, and my agent didn't send me any news."
"Currently, I am living well in the crew. The director is afraid of leaking news and being photographed by paparazzi in advance, so he simply doesn't let people outside come in, and people inside can't go out. I only walk in the small city built by the crew."
Soon, she made a decision, "I only focus on filming, regardless of the wind and rain outside. If I am really summoned, I will go out again."
Ji Qinglian’s approach, simply put, is two words: lying flat.
Don't take the initiative to ask about LP Entertainment, and don't contact people from LP Entertainment.
The police do the police’s investigation, and she films her film with peace of mind.
But if the police come to ask, she will also be the first to respond to the call.
While talking to Ji Qinglian, Jin Li’s phone vibrated non-stop.
After hanging up the call, she clicked to see and found that both the Pink Girls group and the March Sky boy band group were discussing the LP Entertainment incident.
At this time, it had not been exposed on the internet, but companies and artists in the same entertainment industry had already received the wind in advance.
Mengmeng: [LP Entertainment had an accident. I just received the news. Do you know?]
Pearl: [+1, just learned from the agent]
NANA: [Ah, what happened?]
Lotus: [Just now Koi called to notify me. At this moment, my heart is as quiet as a lotus, slowly waiting for the situation to bloom...]
Jin Li first quickly scanned the news of the girl group, and then ran to the boy band group to eat melons.
Compared to the superficial news received by Chenxi Entertainment, as the dead rival of LP, Tianding Entertainment received more detailed news and revealed more to March Sky.
Yan Xingdong: [It is said that it is related to a downstream entertainment company. That downstream company is highly likely to be involved in tax evasion, money laundering, unspoken rules for artists, etc.!]
Chen Lin: [Shuddering... Brother Guang told me that those people don't care about men or women!]
Luo Yi: [Everyone should protect themselves when they go out (earnest and well-meaning)]
Gu Cheng: [@Jin Li, did you receive the news? Is Sister Qinglian okay?]
Jin Li: [Bubbling, I have received the news. Lotus is filming outside and has not been affected. She doesn't even know about this, and I told her.]
