Chapter 12 Aidou's Challenge (3)
If one day, the fans call out my name, it will be really Hi!Moreover, there is really no technical content in simply attending business events.Meihu has a brokerage planning team dedicated to serving Qin Wei.When attending an event, everything is arranged, and all media inquiries are screened.She only needs to show her face, say a few polite words, and follow the process to finish.

The novelty of working as a stand-in began to fade, and Ai Dou wondered if he was a little too greedy. The official work had only started for less than three weeks.

It would be great if Wang Jinhua could arrange some more challenging jobs for her.Ai Dou wants to find Qin Wei and ask Qin Wei to teach her to sing.After your singing skills improve, you may have the opportunity to perform on stage.But Wang Jinhua doesn't seem to want her to get in touch with Qin Wei, and Ai Dou doesn't dare to overstep.

In view of Ai Dou's performance, Wang Jinhua actually wanted to arrange more work for Ai Dou, but Qin Wei didn't want Ai Dou to get involved too much, she only agreed that Wang Jinhua would arrange some unimportant or out-of-town commercial activities, performances and advertisements for Ai Dou No endorsement.

In addition, although Qin Wei agreed to go abroad for drug rehabilitation, she was still reluctant to leave.For a while, I said to leave, and for a while, I said that I was going to detoxify at home.

Wang Jinhua knew that Qin Wei was running away, and it was nonsense to detoxify at home.But there is no way to force her, so she has to indulge.

4. Challenge failed
Soon, Aidou's challenge came.At the beginning of this year, Flamingo, a sports shoe manufacturer in Fujian, came to the door and asked Qin Wei to endorse its products.But Qin Wei's physical condition has been very poor this year, and she is depressed. It is a joke to speak for a sports brand.Besides, Flamingo is just a new unknown brand, which does not match the company's positioning of Qin Wei.So Wang Jinhua quoted a sky-high price, which frightened the other party away.Unexpectedly, after two months of consideration, Flamingo came to the door again to accept Meihu's offer.

It was an irresistible price. Meihu was tempted, and Qin Wei had no objection.So at the end of March, on behalf of Meihu, Qin Wei officially signed a contract with Flame Bird Shoes, and Qin Wei will endorse the Flame Bird brand series of sports shoes.

The endorsement advertisement involves the shooting of print advertisements and TV advertisements. The print advertisements can be shot in Beijing, but the manufacturer wants to show corporate images such as factories in the TV advertisements, so it needs to shoot in Jinjiang.But Qin Wei was addicted to drugs, and since April, she has been doing nothing all day long, and hardly ever goes out of the house.The planned commercial shooting has been postponed twice, and the flame bird will not do it any more.Wang Zichong and Wang Jinhua decided to take the risk and let Ai Dou try it. Qin Wei couldn't help herself at this time, so she nodded in agreement.

Wang Jinhua said to Ai Dou: "This is an opportunity I have won for you, don't embarrass me." Ai Dou was elated: "Thank you, Sister Hua, I will definitely work hard!" This is Ai Dou's debut novel again.

Although Ai Dou's performance was quite good before, filming commercials is much more complicated than ribbon-cutting. Not only does it need to deal with all kinds of people, but it also needs excellent acting skills.

To go to Jinjiang, you must first fly to Xiamen, and then transfer from Xiamen to Jinjiang Shishi.Wang Jinhua couldn't accompany her because of something else. Except for the advertising specialist in Qin Wei's management team, Wang Jinhua once again asked Qin Wei to escort her with Lin Mengmeng.

Lin Mengmeng was originally a staff member of Meihu Artist Department, and Qin Wei was one of her clients. After Qin Wei became famous, she became Qin Wei's personal assistant.Apart from Wang Jinhua, Lin Mengmeng is the main channel for Qin Wei to communicate with the outside world.Lin Mengmeng is not only very experienced in handling all kinds of things, but also decent in doing things, which has won the trust of the company and Qin Wei.

Wang Jinhua hopes that Lin Mengmeng's experience can help Ai Dou resolve the unfamiliarity and tension at work.Another thing is that the entertainment reporters who often interview Qin Wei generally know Lin Mengmeng.Having Lin Mengmeng here is like an endorsement for Ai Dou——Qin Wei is here.

Although the flame bird manufacturer promised to provide the best travel treatment, Ai Dou and Lin Mengmeng flew to Xiamen, Meihu still sent a car, an SUV and two bodyguards there.Wang Jinhua knows how to bluff people, especially in a wealthy area like southern Fujian.

At first, everything went well, the vendor was very polite and the reception was very hospitable.Ai Dou came here this time mainly to shoot TV commercials.The advertising company is a 4A advertising company, and it looks very professional, and the director is a foreigner.According to the filming script, when Qin Wei appeared wearing a tight sweatshirt and sneakers, she ran across streets, beaches, city squares, streets, and factories in the early morning.While running, the sun is rising.Something went wrong while filming on set.First of all, Ai Dou, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall and weighs less than one hundred catties, is too thin, with a thin body, thin legs and no muscles, and the tights can't support it, so it doesn't look good.After a lot of tossing, I decided to change into a looser sportswear.After calling in suitable sportswear and starting shooting, Ai Dou's running posture has problems again.

One is nervousness, and the other is that Ai Dou doesn't like sports and rarely participates in sports activities.Her running posture is a bit sloppy, and her hand swing is also very mechanical. It looks weird on the screen. In short, it is unrefined.This is troublesome, the running posture is almost innate, Ai Dou is already running for three, how can he change it in a short time?

After running many times, the director was not satisfied.From five o'clock to seven o'clock, the sun had risen so high that this scene could not be shot.The next day was another failure.The advertising company began to complain that there were dozens of people on site, machinery and equipment, as well as extras, venues, and probably applied for road closures, which cost a lot of money every day.After all, I asked the queen to shoot an advertisement, so I dare not say too much.On the third day, Ai Dou still could not meet the requirements.Repeatedly, the foreigner director began to look bad, from muttering to cursing.Although the translation deleted all the ugly words, Ai Dou could hear clearly.Suffering from his own reasons hindering the progress of the filming, Ai Dou dare not speak back, but the more nervous he is, the more restrained his movements are, the worse the effect will be.

After another failure, the foreigner director dropped the microphone and walked away.The scene suddenly fell silent, the staff looked at the director and Ai Dou, and began to whisper.

After a while, the cameraman also left, leaving Ai Dou alone in the field.Ai Dou felt ashamed, wanted to escape but her hands and feet were so weak that she couldn't even take a step.

Lin Mengmeng came over and pulled Ai Dou back to the car, and closed the door. "What happened to you?"

"I'm sorry." Aidou lowered her head.

"Miss, you can't do this!" Lin Mengmeng's tone was a little heavy.These days, Lin Mengmeng is respectful to Aidou in front of her, but she is more casual with her behind, and the two of them can chat quite well.

Today is the first time she talks to Ai Dou so seriously. "Yes—I'm sorry." Ai Dou couldn't help but shed tears. "No one has ever dared to talk to Sister Wei like this, and neither did Sister Hua. He even lost the microphone, what kind of a joke is he? Sister Wei must be mad when she knows."

"I'm really sorry, I've embarrassed Sister Wei." Ai Dou cried.Lin Mengmeng frowned: "Don't cry, it will be even more embarrassing if they hear it." Ai Dou could only cover her mouth and sob.

"Oh, you're so weak, people just stick their noses in the face to show you face. Sister Wei's commercials, which staff member is not a dick. The director is playing prestige to show you face, do you know that? "

"I know, it's my problem." Ai Dou felt guilty. "If you give in, he'll climb on top of you."

Ai Dou said awkwardly: "This is my problem, I really can't run away."

"What should I do?"

"Why don't you call Sister Hua and let Sister Wei come by herself."

"Hmph, if you call Sister Hua at this time, it's just to scold you."

"..."

"Hmph, Sister Wei also said that you are good. Didn't expect you to lose the chain so soon?"

"I'm sorry—I—what should I do?"

"I don't know, I can't be soft anyway. I'm ashamed to see you just now." Ai Dou was very frustrated, he was really useless, he couldn't even run, and he challenged me.At this time, someone came and knocked on the car door. It was from an advertising company.He said that the director came back and asked if he could start work?Lin Mengmeng replied angrily: "Wait first, miss is not feeling well." Then he shouted to the outside of the car, "Wang Dabin, Du Qiang, come here, and don't approach anyone unless Sister Wei tells you to." Wang Dabin He and Du Qiang are the bodyguards sent by the company from Beijing. They are tall and big, wearing black clothes and sunglasses.The people from the advertising company tactfully avoided it. "How about I try again?" Ai Dou didn't have any confidence at all. "Are you okay? Forget it. Look at your dejected appearance. You have no airs at all. How can you shoot? I think it's better to go back to the hotel and not shoot today."

"How can I do that? There are so many people waiting outside."

"Never mind them, the girl is not happy, if she says she won't shoot, she won't shoot."

"This—" Ai Dou didn't have the guts.Qin Wei's assistants are so arrogant, at this time Ai Dou began to understand the difference between a stand-in and a queen.

"What are you afraid of? Sister Wei is like this. She is not happy today, so she just lies on the bed for a whole day, and the heavenly king and I will ignore you."

"Is that going to break the contract?"

"Breach of contract? What's written in the contract?"

"I haven't read the contract."

"It's okay if you don't feel well. There should be this clause in the contract. In case of physical reasons, you have the right to postpone it or something. I helped Sister Wei read the contract, and her advertising contract has such a clause."

Ai Dou muttered: "I think it's better to call Sister Hua first." Before Ai Dou called Wang Jinhua, someone from Meihu had already called to report.While Ai Dou and Lin Mengmeng were discussing in the car, other colleagues had already revealed the current deadlock to Wang Jinhua.Wang Jinhua's opinion was the same as Lin Mengmeng's. She asked Ai Dou to go back first and discuss it before talking.After receiving the instructions, the two cars of Meihu drove away, and now it was the advertising company's turn to be dumbfounded.

5. This is how big names play
The difficulties Ai Dou encountered were just a small case for the battle-tested Wang Jinhua.Little famous artists have to hide their temper and temper, only obedient and obedient.Big-name celebrities are hot-tempered and airy, so be careful with them.For a big name like Qin Wei, making money is no longer the first priority. The manager follows her in everything, because earning the master's money is the manager's top priority.

Qin Wei's endorsement contract has protective clauses that can postpone or cancel the filming plan due to physical reasons, and has the right to change the content of the filming.

Clients of Flamingo's level are not afraid of offending, so after learning about Ai Dou's situation, Wang Jinhua instructed: "First, you ask Xiao Qiao to tell Flamingo's people that the advertising company's script is not creative. You don't like it. , to be changed."

"If they don't agree, how can I answer?" Ai Dou became nervous when she heard it. "You don't need to answer, and you don't need to come forward to say it. Xiao Qiao will insist, but she will say it was your intention."

Wang Jinhua was obviously dissatisfied with Ai Dou's attitude, "You have to know, you are not Xiao Ai, but Qin Wei, the most popular rock queen in China. The second point I want to tell you is more important than the first point. Don't be low She looks pleasing to the eye, like a pissed-off little daughter-in-law. Show off the style and tone of a superstar, and don't embarrass Qin Wei! If you can't even put on airs, you can come back, this job is not suitable for you. Understand?"

"understood."

"Speak louder! I can't hear you!" Wang Jinhua yelled on the phone. "Understood!" Ai Dou said loudly. "I can't hear you, speak louder!"

"I'm Qin Wei! I want to change the script!" Ai Dou let go of the microphone and shouted.boom!A decorative painting fell from the wall of a hotel room to the floor.Is the power of howling so magical?

Following Wang Jinhua's instructions, Ai Dou asked Xiao Qiao, the planner, to tell Flame Bird that she was not satisfied with the running script of the advertising company and wanted to change it.Make changes after she passes the review.Besides, she didn't want to see that foreign director again.Either he goes, or she goes (this is what Ai Dou thought of himself).

After throwing out the conditions, Meihu and his party prepared to return to Beijing.

Tianhou played big cards, which naturally alerted Flamingo's boss Lin.

The person in charge of the manufacturer suddenly came to ask for an interview. Ai Dou was really nervous and hurriedly called Wang Jinhua for instructions.Fortunately, Lin Youhao who came to the door was not the boss Lin who went to Beijing to sign the contract. Wang Jinhua asked Ai Dou to deal with it casually.

Ai Dou put on her makeup, put on sunglasses and went to the coffee shop to meet Lin Youhao.This Boss Lin looks very young, about 30 years old, with a typical appearance of a Hokkien.

"Miss Qin, I'm really sorry. I heard that a painting was smashed in your room. Is there anything wrong? I've already asked them to change the room." Lin Youhao apologized repeatedly, and his Mandarin has a Hokkien accent.

"No, I'm going back to Beijing tonight." Ai Dou said in a stiff tone.In fact, she was quite nervous. Boss Lin seemed very shrewd. She suddenly thought that taking a cigarette at this time might calm her down a lot.

Oye!Lin Mengmeng is really a god and man, unexpectedly appeared at this time, and handed over a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Ai Dou pretended to ask, "Is smoking allowed here?"

"It's okay, all hotels in Shishi can smoke." Lin Youhao beckoned the waiter to deliver an ashtray. "Do you smoke?" Ai Dou asked Lin Youhao.Never thought that Youhao Lin didn't smoke.In southern Fujian these days, almost every man I see smokes. "It's really rare." Ai Dou teased.Lin Youhao explained: "I used to smoke too, very badly, but later I got bronchiectasis, so I didn't dare to smoke anymore."

"So serious? Then I won't smoke anymore." Ai Dou took advantage of the situation and put the cigarette back on the table. Anyway, she was putting on airs when she smoked. It would be better if she didn't smoke. "It's okay, if you smoke, it won't affect me." Youhao Lin was a little embarrassed.

"No, how can I let my parents smoke second-hand smoke, haha." Ai Dou felt that he was slightly better at smoking and began to relax.

Sit comfortably, let go, and have the aura of a queen.

Closer to home. "Well, Miss Qin...the commercial hasn't been filmed yet...why are you in such a hurry to go back to Beijing?"

"You should know, I can't take pictures of this book."

"However, the advertising company said that the script had been submitted in advance, and the filming started without any objection from your side."

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen it." Ai Dou could only play tricks, but she was actually very ashamed in her heart, and it was indeed her fault.Lin Youhao hesitated for a moment, and said, "See if you can stay for a day or two longer, I'll ask the advertising company to change the script right away."

Lin Youhao gave Ai Dou a general report on Flame Bird's next advertising promotion plan. He hoped that Ai Dou would stay in Jinjiang to finish filming the advertisement before leaving.

"It will take a few days to work on the script. I've been busy with work lately, so I can't wait here. When the script is finished, I'll fly over right away. Do you think it's okay, Boss Lin?" Ai Dou looked helpless .

Lin Youhao was a little annoyed: "Miss Qin, we are very sincere in asking you to speak for us. Now we don't need 1000 million to invite any big name, and tax will be deducted."

The endorsement fee for Flamingo asking Qin Wei to be the endorser this time is 1000 million RMB a year after tax.Not to mention ordinary film and television stars, first-line stars can only get it when they are popular.

Ai Dou shrugged: "A lot?" Lin Youhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Miss Qin, you are a superstar, and you make money every day. You may not know how hard we work to make shoes. 1000 million, we may have It takes hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes to earn back.”

"Boss Lin, you are being modest. Aren't your Fujian sneakers advertising on the TV stations now? It seems that NBA stars are also invited. It should be more than 1000 million."

"The economy is not good now, and domestic sports brands are very difficult. The competition is fierce, and it is impossible not to advertise, so we have to bite the bullet. Fortunately, we did not expand so much in the past two years, but the inventory is still not low. There are no outsiders here. I’m not afraid of making fun of you if you say it. I’ve seen your figures in the entertainment industry revenue rankings last year. Our sales revenue was more than 20 billion last year, and our net profit was less than half of your revenue. This year’s situation is even worse, and labor costs have risen again. Great, many small factories in Jinjiang have closed down."

Ai Dou has seen the financial reports of some sports brand listed companies last year, which generally suffered from losses and high inventories. Securities companies recommend investors to stay away from such stocks.

"Survival of the fittest, the one that survives in the end is a good company. Isn't there a Hokkien song called 'hard work will win'?"
