Seeing Jin Li looked at Sister Fang's face, and secretly called bad in her heart.

He Yixuan didn't explain clearly to Sister Fang in advance, privately going to other entertainment companies is a big taboo for artists!

Usually, only when wanting to jump ship will one go to other entertainment companies.

Seeing Jin Li hesitated: "Sister Fang, you communicate with Yixuan well. Your tempers don't suit each other, it's easy to quarrel."

Sui Lingfang calmed down after a moment of panic.

Her voice was very cold: "Um, I will talk to her well."

Seeing Jin Li didn't know what He Yixuan wanted to do, and Qinglian telling her this news was already a few months ago.

If He Yixuan really had something with Tianding, there was no need to hide it until now.

If she really wanted to jump ship, she hadn't opened her mouth until now, so she should not have found a suitable company yet.

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and asked: "When does He Yixuan's contract expire?"

Sui Lingfang said indifferently: "March next year."

Seeing Jin Li: "Then did the company talk to her about the contract?"

Sui Lingfang: "We have been in contact since March, and only started talking about it in this summer vacation. She didn't give specific requirements and wanted to pull the saw with the company."

Seeing Jin Li hesitated and said: "Sister Fang, perhaps the situation is not what we thought."

Sui Lingfang said expressionlessly: "Seeing Jin Li, I was an agent before you debuted. It is normal for artists and companies to break up and get back together, but it is impossible to enjoy the company's resources and still want to shake off the company."

Her words turned, the previous indifference disappeared, and she returned to her usual elite professional appearance.

"Let's discuss your affairs first. There are several things that need to be confirmed with you in person. It's not clear to chat on WeChat."

Seeing Jin Li came back from filming a magazine in Y-country and had been running promotions, almost seamlessly from *And Then There Were None* to *Dream Builder*. The company simply waited for both to finish running before making a summary.

This time is to summarize the data.

"*And Then There Were None* total box office 580 million, already the third record for small-niche art films in the country in the past three years. The first and second places are art films filmed by Director Zhong Wentai.

From the niche track, your image has been familiar to many specific netizen groups. They all have a good impression of you. This type of movie fan can become a supporter of the niche films you film in the future."

Zou Da released the overall data of *And Then There Were None* in the conference room using PPT.

They were able to get such detailed data largely because the company also invested in this film, and these data belong to internal information.

"The achievements obtained on the film are not just this. The special issue of Huaguo *And Then There Were None* issued by Y-country's *Movie Story* magazine this month has already exceeded 500,000 copies. This is the best sales achievement created by *Movie Story* this year.

Because of the hot sales of *Movie Story*, it also drove the sales of Fang Fei's clothing. We contacted Fang Fei this month to ask about their sales in Y-country.

August has just passed, and the data there is still being summarized, but what we know is that the sales results are very bright, and even Fang Fei believes that the hot sales of *Movie Story* magazine played a promotional role.

Y-country people recognize the aesthetic of clothing matching in the magazine, and many people ran to buy Fang Fei's clothing."

The data on the PPT was clear at a glance.

Seeing Jin Li quickly scanned to the "Copyright Going Overseas" column and was stunned.

"Last time Director Deng called me and said that the copyright of eight countries was negotiated, why does the data above show 12?"

Sui Lingfang and Zou Da looked at each other and smiled. Sister Fang said: "The four extra ones were negotiated recently. You definitely don't know how these four countries came to the door."

Seeing Jin Li thought carefully: "If it's hard to guess, then they definitely didn't come to the door through normal channels... Could it be that the film copyright procurement department of other countries saw this film in other countries, and then turned to contact Huaguo, requesting to purchase the copyright?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise, and Sui Lingfang applauded, looking amazed.

"I don't think you are a lucky person, you are more suitable to be a prophet. How did you guess it?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "Guessed it randomly. If it's not through normal means, I only thought of this.

It's impossible to be like Y-country's *Movie Story*, where people from other countries saw the original film in Huaguo, and then returned to the country to write to the copyright procurement department, asking them to come to us to purchase the copyright, right?"

Sui Lingfang opened her mouth wide and didn't speak.

This time it was Zou Da's turn to applaud vigorously: "The title of prophet is well-deserved, you guessed it all right!"

Seeing Jin Li:...

She is a Koi, not some mouth that has been opened.

Sister Fang laughed: "One of them was recommended by people from other countries writing letters, and the other two were seen in Y-country, felt it was good, contacted us through Y-country, and also requested introduction."

Seeing Jin Li asked curiously: "It feels like the introduction hasn't been long, did they launch it in their own country so quickly?"

Zou Da pressed the next PPT, "This is the data we want to tell you. After the copyright was introduced, it is impossible for other countries to arrange it in the summer slot.

But other countries also have art film special channels. They immediately arranged it in the art film special channel, and the data of some countries has already come out."

Y-country has already achieved a box office result of 100 million, X-country is 8 million, W-country is 30 million...

Sui Lingfang added: "In these countries, there are Fang Fei flagship stores. During the film's launch period, Fang Fei's sales were also higher than usual. Fang Fei admitted that it was influenced by the film."

Seeing Jin Li couldn't help but sigh: "The influence of stars is really big!"

Sui Lingfang said affirmatively: "This is also why brands like to find stars with higher popularity, especially stars with international popularity, to endorse."

You know, Fang Fei didn't plant advertisements in *And Then There Were None*.

But because "Seeing Jin Li," one of the leads, is Fang Fei's Huaguo area spokesperson, not even a global spokesperson, it also disguisedly improved Fang Fei's performance.

When a star's image and even career are closely related to a brand, it is accompanying the brand to grow together.

Next, everyone started to analyze the influence *Dream Builder* brought to Seeing Jin Li.

The second-selling film in the summer slot this year, although it just went offline, has already brought many substantial benefits to Seeing Jin Li.

The most obvious is that any product Seeing Jin Li endorses, because of *Dream Builder*'s takeoff, has also taken off.

Even the 【Fang Fei】 that focuses on high-luxury style, as well as 【Tiangong】 with higher luxury consumption, and the bags 【Rumengling】 endorsed by Seeing Jin Li, 【Duomi】 that focuses on affordable and easy-to-use... all took off in Huaguo's sales!

Judging from the fierce sales performance, when it comes to renewal, the brand will definitely give Seeing Jin Li a satisfactory price.

This is the future profit obtained from existing endorsements.

And what can be chosen now is—

"I have received ten high-quality brands looking for you to endorse, two of which are first-tier brands, and the other eight are all second-tier, involving food and beverages, sports and fitness leisure clothing, shoes, etc."

Sui Lingfang smiled meaningfully: "Except for the first-tier brands, these eight second-tier brands are all willing to open up special lines specifically for you."

This is another big profit.

Seeing Jin Li pondered for a while. Although stars don't dislike many endorsements, if you have endorsed one of the same type of product, it is best not to accept the second one.

Although brands might not care, no, as competing products of the same type, how could brands not care?

It's just that they say they don't care, but if she really accepts competing products, maybe they will keep a small notebook in their hearts.

Seeing Jin Li said coldly: "Pick and choose the endorsement types, accept only one of the same type, don't accept the second one. Try to accept second-tier brands that are more popular and grounded, don't be too high-end."

As for the first-tier, she can't manage the first-tier.

But the second-tier can still be chosen.

Zou Da raised his eyebrows, "If according to your requirements, the current endorsements will be cut and filtered by half, don't you feel it's a pity? Second-tier brands didn't say they couldn't endorse the same competing products. They can't hold airs against first-tier stars."

Seeing Jin Li shook her head: "Just do as I say, I want to maintain my own image more."

"Okay." Sui Lingfang agreed.

From the company's perspective, since the endorsement party didn't have requirements, the company certainly hoped that stars could accept them all. After all, the company would also extract a share.

Although they extract less from Seeing Jin Li's appearances, it doesn't mean they don't extract.

But Seeing Jin Li's requirements, they will also attach importance to.

Reaching the status of a first-tier star, the relationship between the star and the company is more like a cooperative relationship. Planning the star's career arrangement is only a part of it, and more is still led by the star.

So in some general directions, stars have to put forward their own suggestions, run-in with the company, don't think that the planning the company gives to the first-tier is perfect.

Every company has its own selfishness.

Second-tier stars don't have this status, nor do they have this strength. Even if they really let go and let them lead, they have limited experience, don't understand this industry, and blind guidance will only harm themselves.

Seeing Jin Li finished reading the reports of these two films. Simply put, *And Then There Were None* opened up the international market for her, while *Dream Builder* let her continue to cultivate the domestic market.

Seeing Jin Li stared at *Dream Builder*'s data and suddenly asked: "Can *Dream Builder*'s copyright also be introduced abroad?"

Sui Lingfang said hesitantly: "The patriotic main melody feature is too strong, other countries may not necessarily accept it, this is a kind of output of ideology."

Seeing Jin Li pondered: "I don't think so. If this counts as output, then the commercial blockbusters and superheroes we like to watch, isn't that also the output of M-country's heroism and individualism.

But our country also introduces these films, the audience loves to watch, so they introduced them. And *Dream Builder* is not a commercial film, nor is it a political film, just an art film of a character biography. It's better to promote it.

My idea is, don't self-deny before recommending it. Don't be shy. We can look at whether we can push *Dream Builder* abroad through the line of *And Then There Were None*, and try to communicate with Director Zhong."

Expanding the film's influence is not only for the film's good, but also for her good.

They also have many excellent cultures that can be transported to the whole world, no need to treasure them.

Sui Lingfang and Zou Da looked at each other.

The line of copyright going overseas has always been run by Zou Da, who controls the promotional marketing channels.

Zou Da pondered: "Okay, I will contact Director Zhong when the time comes, and I will also contact Director Deng to see if the two can make a linkage to go overseas for promotion."

Sui Lingfang turned the page and mentioned the business and appearances she was currently running.

"The negotiation with Duomi's personal line has already determined the product type, and it was decided to develop a foundation, which is also the product they are focusing on researching this year, wanting to use it as your personal line product.

But Duomi also wants the exclusive sales right for this product. The method is that the audience can buy the joint promotion products with you on their own, but they can also buy the non-joint models separately."

Seeing Jin Li raised her eyebrows: "Meaning the same product, but divided into two lines to sell, my joint line and their own main push line?"

Sui Lingfang nodded: "Yes, but Duomi promised that they will push your joint line for a quarter. As long as people click on that product, the promotion will focus on your joint model."

Seeing Jin Li said decisively: "No, there is no sincerity."

"Although I don't understand e-commerce, I also know that Duomi's offline sales and online sales are equally powerful. The 'Koi Good Luck Gift Box' I endorsed for Duomi before, instead, sold hot offline.

We can watch the online flagship store channel, but we can't watch the offline one. And even the online promotion has many twists and turns.

Because Duomi is a popular well-known brand, plus it is affordable and easy to use, there are not many fakes, and it lays out very widely even online.

Netizens don't have to go to the official flagship store to buy, they can also buy through platform self-operated channels, online supermarket channels, and even international line channels.

Can they guarantee that the advertising of such channel laying is still based on my joint model?"

Sui Lingfang was stunned by the question, "We haven't determined the cooperation method with it, so we haven't gone into details about the promotion. I will ask these clearly later."

In the past, the direction was determined, and then the details were discussed.

Didn't expect Seeing Jin Li to have considered the details very clearly when the direction wasn't determined.

Sui Lingfang couldn't help but look at Seeing Jin Li a few times. She felt that after she came back from the long promotion period, there was something different about her.

Seeing Jin Li put forward an opinion: "My idea is to grasp the exclusive sales right of the joint model. They cannot launch the same model. My joint model must be made into an independent product.

Duomi must be more attentive in polishing my personal line products. If they are not willing, then we won't cooperate this time. We only signed an intention contract anyway."

Her words paused, and she said calmly and composedly: "I hope that when cooperating with all brands, the company can take my interests as the starting point and try to strive for my interests."

Sui Lingfang's heart was startled: "Okay, I will implement your ideas in the subsequent negotiations."

At this moment, Seeing Jin Li showed the edge of a first-tier popular star!
