Chapter 646

Sui Lingfang scrolled to Seeing Jin Li's night live stream.

She saw the comments from netizens, which were full of worship and admiration.

They only thought that Seeing Jin Li wanted to finish the courses in advance to obtain credits, or was striving to preview first so she could skip classes to work, as long as her final exam scores were qualified.

Sui Lingfang sneered.

Friend, your name is Naive!

She had communicated with Seeing Jin Li before; she not only wanted to obtain credits in advance, but also wanted to finish all university courses within two years, and even wanted to study independently—wanting to attend classes when she wanted to, and getting an A in every exam.

Besides that, she also wanted to take the postgraduate entrance exam! And the doctoral entrance exam!

If it were any other artist with such high-minded and far-reaching ideas, she would have criticized them long ago.

But when it came to Seeing Jin Li, she hesitated.

After all, this is an artist who, outside of work, made up for her shaky foundation within two years and successfully got into the top university.

Many unpredictable things, when placed on Seeing Jin Li's small body, seem to be able to turn the impossible into the possible.

Regarding this, Sui Lingfang only said: "As long as you want to do it, then do it, as long as it doesn't affect your work."

And just as she exited the live stream, she suddenly received a call from *Fashion Trends*.

An hour later, Seeing Jin Li ended the live stream and walked out of the workroom.

She saw Sui Lingfang leaning against the wall next to the door, picking up her phone to reply to a message.

Seeing Jin Li was stunned.

"Sister Fang, it's so late, aren't you off work yet? It's already 9:30 PM."

Sui Lingfang smiled, "No choice, there's good news I want to share with you."

Seeing Jin Li asked curiously: "You're so happy, could it be that I have another large sum of money to earn?"

Sui Lingfang nodded slightly excitedly.

She didn't mention what the good news was, but first asked Seeing Jin Li: "Do you know the sales performance of the August issue of *Jin Se* on the online store?"

Seeing Jin Li hadn't scrolled to news in this regard, but she could roughly estimate it.

"20,000 to 30,000 sales, I remember it's priced at 39.9, which isn't cheap."

Sui Lingfang said, suppressing her excitement: "It's twice what you thought; currently, the external display shows sales have already broken 50,000!

*Fashion Trends* doesn't know where they got its real sales data, but it has already rushed to the top, with an income of 2.5 million!"

2 million-plus sounds like it's quite small, but you have to know this is only online sales, and physical sales haven't been counted yet.

Wei Ziang once posted news on his Moments that physical sales are not inferior to online sales, and because of the early stocking, the sales volume will be even more.

So in general, just by relying on one August issue... more accurately, just by relying on Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng filming the cover together, this magazine soared to the highest sales volume among all months this year.

And now August hasn't finished yet, and there is still a long time until the new issue is released on September 15th next month.

Even if the subsequent sales are not as strong as the early stage, the long-tail effect is estimated not to be bad.

Peers in the magazine industry predict that just for this August issue, *Jin Se* can rake in over 10 million in profits.

This is a very terrifying number.

You have to know that *Jin Se* filming the August issue didn't actually pay much cost in artist remuneration.

The announcement fees for inviting stars to film are often passed on to the brand side to pay.

Although Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng didn't have dedicated brand sponsorship, *Jin Se* couldn't let the artists wear unknown clothing for the clothes on their bodies.

In this, the brand and the magazine will reach a tacit understanding.

After the magazine paid the artist's remuneration, there was still surplus from the sponsorship fee, and they could make a profit from it.

It is said that the clothes Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng wore were negotiated by 【Wang Chun Gui】, a luxury brand specifically for young people.

Not to mention that besides the brand paying this fee, other brands want to advertise in the magazine, and *Jin Se* will also collect advertising fees from it.

Wei Ziang didn't say how much the specific sponsorship fee was, but being able to defeat a crowd of international top brands like *Ru Meng Ling* and *Fang Fei*, the price must be very high.

General magazine publishers don't count on making money from sales when making magazines.

But obviously, the August issue of *Jin Se* broke this law and gave the magazine industry a shot in the arm.

Isn't that right? *Fashion Trends* obviously also wants to follow and make a profit.

Sui Lingfang: "I received a call from *Fashion Trends*; they want to sign a supplementary agreement with you. Inspired by *Jin Se*, they also plan to launch an online sales channel in the September issue."

Seeing Jin Li was a bit confused: "Do we still need to sign a supplementary agreement? Can't they launch it just by saying hello to us? Even if we don't agree, can't they use it in the online electronic version?"

Sui Lingfang smiled triumphantly: "No, the contract we signed with *Fashion Trends* is different."

"After *Jin Se* sold out the August issue, the legal team felt that *Jin Se* should pay you another remuneration.

After all, the photos you took were generally considered by everyone to be limited to physical sales and the electronic version they launched in the APP.

And in terms of physical sales, no one expected them to open an online store; after all, no other magazine publisher had opened one, including *Jin Se* itself, which didn't have a specialty store at that time.

*Jin Se* obviously also utilized the sold-out online store sales, changed advertisers from it, and obtained greater benefits.

But the legal team read the contract many times before finding one small clause—*Jin Se* can use the photos taken by the artist to participate in sales through online channels, including but not limited to online specialty stores, etc."

Sister Fang paused and continued: "Actually, when you signed the contract, the legal team saw this clause, but everyone didn't care; after all, no magazine publisher had an online store.

But later, you reached a cooperation with *Fashion Trends*, and the August issue of *Jin Se* was almost finished at that time, and the industry let out word that the August issue of *Jin Se* would be a big hit."

It was at that time that someone had already guessed that *Jin Se* might specifically open up a brand-new online sales channel for the August issue.

After the issue where the Best Actress appeared last year, *Jin Se* was called by netizens to quickly open an online sales channel, but I don't know why it ended up with nothing; this time it's just bringing up the past."

A flash of surprise crossed Seeing Jin Li's eyes.

She had signed the contract for *Fashion Trends*, but she didn't look at the details on it very specifically.

She was not sensitive to the amount on the contract.

Many similar announcements have high and low film remuneration.

But the charges are not random; they are based on the industry's market conditions.

Money is just a number to her; she is not interested in making money.

"So you mean, the legal team received word that *Jin Se* would open an online store, and when talking to me about the cooperation with *Fashion Trends*, did they specifically delete this clause?"

Sister Fang snapped her fingers: "Yes, deleted!"

"In order to delete this clause, we also made a concession on your remuneration."

Sui Lingfang said in a relaxed tone: "When you went to film for *Fashion Trends*, the August issue of *Jin Se* hadn't been released yet.

The word about opening an online store had been spread for a long time, but the risk of wanting to open an online store and conduct online sales was also very high.

*Fashion Trends* shouldn't have expected *Jin Se* to have such great courage at that time; they actually really opened an online store and only sold one product, which was the August issue you and Gu Cheng filmed together.

So they quickly made concessions; after all, they wanted you to participate in this filming too much.

Now the online sales of the August issue of *Jin Se* have sold out, and *Fashion Trends* is jealous, so they also want to sign a supplementary agreement with you that allows them to open an online store and conduct online sales."

Seeing Jin Li said: "Our team made concessions on my remuneration in order to delete this agreement, so now they want to sign this agreement back, they should pay a greater price."

Sui Lingfang chuckled: "And the right to negotiate is in our hands."

"People from *Fashion Trends* contacted me first; I didn't give a definite answer and told them to contact the legal team.

Then I talked to the legal team again, and they gave two plans. One plan is to let *Fashion Trends* pay a large buyout authorization fee so that your magazine photos can be sold in online specialty stores.

The other plan is to have a share; this was inspiration provided to us by *Jin Se*. *Jin Se* sells the advertisements in the magazine in two versions, with the advertisements being e-commerce and physical versions respectively.

The advertising quote for the e-commerce version is more expensive than the physical version. As long as the physical version sells out, the sales of the e-commerce version won't be bad either, so if we choose the share cooperation model, *Fashion Trends* definitely won't lose out."

Seeing Jin Li said without thinking: "Then choose the share cooperation."

"We earn as much money as we sell."

Sui Lingfang also leaned more towards this kind of cooperation, but she had to communicate with Seeing Jin Li in advance.

After all, Seeing Jin Li is the one signing the contract.

"Oh, by the way, I have one thing here too."

Seeing Jin Li suddenly thought of something, walked into the workroom, and took out a large envelope from inside.

Nowadays, many red envelopes are made very large, not much different from the size of ordinary envelopes.

But Seeing Jin Li's envelope is obviously different.

What Director Chu gave her is that kind of large EMS express mail envelope!

So when they saw this large envelope, the media reporters went crazy and filmed desperately.

Sui Lingfang had already received news from Chen Qin and was not surprised to see this large envelope.

The moment Seeing Jin Li took it out, she also had a premonition of what Seeing Jin Li would explain.

Seeing Jin Li: "This is the red envelope Director Chu gave me; help me donate them all."

Sui Lingfang took the envelope; she was already very used to her artist's "not keeping what she finds."

Seeing Jin Li donates one or two million every month, and many times it has to go through her hands for confirmation.

She knows Seeing Jin Li's accounts and is also very clear about how much money she has earned recently.

To be honest, the one or two million in charitable donations every month looks like a lot, but it doesn't even compare to a single hair of what she has earned recently.

Last year, Seeing Jin Li's income didn't rise particularly significantly, but this year it really rose too fast.

This benefits from the fact that since last year, Seeing Jin Li has been more inclined to launch co-branded products with other brands and participate in sales dividends.

This type of dividend has a payment cycle; some are settled quarterly, some are settled semi-annually, and longer ones are settled annually.

Recently, Seeing Jin Li has had continuous payments.

The money sent by each brand is comparable to the endorsement fee for joining a first-tier brand.

And this money will continue to be sent over in the future.

Not to mention that after Seeing Jin Li's college entrance examination results were announced, *Chen Xi* was negotiating co-branded products with several first-tier big brands.

The proportion of sales dividends negotiated is not small.

Anyway, it's more than what was negotiated with those second- and third-tier brands last year.

The co-branded brands have been upgraded, but the dividends haven't decreased; they have also been upgraded together.

Mentioning co-branded products, Sui Lingfang thought of *Ya Jun*.

With *Ya Jun*'s unit price and sales volume, if this co-branded order can be negotiated, I'm afraid the amount given will also be very considerable.

The only regret is that this kind of international luxury big brand will not give co-branding too much time to participate in sales dividends.

One quarter, three months of sales volume, is already stuck to *Ya Jun*'s bottom line.

And the dividend proportion set by Seeing Jin Li, Sui Lingfang also feels is almost stuck to the bottom line.

If she received a rejection call from *Ya Jun* Watches in these few days, she wouldn't feel surprised; it's really too extreme.

And *Ya Jun* Watches, which was being talked about by Sui Lingfang, was still having a meeting late at night.

After the employees in the company finished discussing, they presented their opinions to the senior management.

Some of the senior management are shareholders.

Senior management, especially those who are shareholders, discuss things much faster than those in the middle and lower levels.

One is the time issue.

People like shareholders who are busy investing everywhere and dealing with ten thousand things a day don't have that much time to spend on one project.

Delaying them for one minute might mean earning one less business deal.

In addition, people in the middle and lower levels have to take care of many aspects, but people in the upper levels only think about one problem—

That is whether it can make money.

As long as it can make money, it's not impossible to share some profits.

Everyone makes money together; it's a win-win cooperation.

This type of person is not that they don't want to eat alone.

But the premise of wanting to eat alone is that you have absolute ability and conditions to suppress the other party.

But now?

They just need Seeing Jin Li's popularity to open up the market; if they don't give some sweetness, which star will work hard?

It is indeed possible to cooperate with other stars, but can they guarantee that other stars can achieve the influence of Seeing Jin Li?

Look at her ability to bring goods; how excellent!

*Ya Jun*'s men's watch market has always been doing well. If it were the men's watch market, they wouldn't consider Seeing Jin Li, and would even mock: "Wishful thinking!"

But their women's watch market is really too weak.

"I approve; what are your thoughts?" One of the management directly spoke up.

"As long as the market can be opened up, it's no problem to give up a little profit; it's not much anyway."

"Agreed!"

So the next day, *Chen Xi* Entertainment received a call from the person at *Ya Jun* who was responsible for contacting them.

"Negotiated, we can cooperate!"

"If the sales volume of the co-branded products launched this time is very good, the company also wants to launch a second cooperation with Seeing Jin Li!"

Sui Lingfang didn't think much about the second sentence; she had seen too many of these "painting cakes" things.

She only focused on the first sentence.

"*Chen Xi* must first see the co-branded products and confirm that there are no problems with quality and price before officially signing the contract. Currently, we can only sign a verbal intention agreement."

The person in charge was concise and comprehensive: "Okay!"

Watches produced by *Ya Jun* Watches fear no testing; they have great confidence in the quality of their own watches.

After Sui Lingfang finished talking, the door was knocked on.

Chen Qin came in with the large envelope somewhat uneasily and said hesitantly: "Sister Fang, do you really want to donate all the money in this envelope? The amount is a bit large."

Sui Lingfang was stunned.

"With the scale of this envelope, even if it's filled with money, can't it only hold twenty or thirty thousand? This kind of thing is okay, right?"

Chen Qin shook her head, "Not only that, Director Chu also gave Seeing Jin Li a check inside."
