Bai Shou was laughing there, but Huo Yu on the side was not happy. She sneered and said, "It's more valuable than a fruit basket, is it a wreath?"
Although Song Wenbin could understand that Huo Yu didn't like Bai Shou or even disliked him, and to be honest, he didn't like this guy either, but he couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard what Huo Yu said.
Sutina quickly and secretly pulled Huo Yu, asked her to sit on the sofa and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense, let Brother Song handle it."
Huo Yu stared at Bai Shou contemptuously, leaning on the sofa and crossing his legs.
After being insulted by Huo Yu, Bai Shou stopped laughing. He coughed a few times and said to Song Wenbin solemnly.
"Teacher Yan, I am here not only to visit, but in fact, I am also asking you three for help."
"Looking for help from us?" Song Wenbin asked in confusion.
"Let me introduce you."
Bai Shou pointed to a man in a suit sitting next to him and said, "This is Dior's head of Greater China, Mr. Li."
The elegant man with short hair stretched out his hand and shook hands with Song Wenbin with a smile.
Song Wenbin was confused, but he still reached out and shook hands with the other party politely.
Then Bai Shou pointed to a Western bald man wearing glasses next to him and introduced: "This is Mr. Shi Ande, the head of Louis Vuitton's China area."
"Teacher I hate, I have admired you for a long time."
The bald European said in half-baked Chinese.
Song Wenbin was even more confused, but still shook hands with the other party.
Finally, Bai Shou pointed to the last middle-aged woman wearing a fringed purple dress and said, "This is Wu Junning, the HR manager of Nishangxuan."
The woman stretched out her hand softly and said with a reserved smile: "Teacher Yan, you are much more handsome in real life than you look in the show."
"Where, where..."
Song Wenbin quickly humbled himself and shook hands with the other party. He had heard of the brand Nishangxuan, a high-end fashion brand that has become very popular in China in recent years. It is very good at retro-style fashion and is especially popular with women.
After shaking hands, Song Wenbin sat upright and asked: "You are here...are you here to visit us?"
"That's right, Teacher Yan, if possible, we hope to inspect your trio for a period of time." The person who answered him was the person in charge of Dior China.
"Inspection? Please forgive me, I didn't understand. Why do you want to inspect us?" Song Wenbin was completely puzzled.
"Teacher Yan. I think the temperament of your program is highly consistent with our brand philosophy and positioning. Travel is the core of our brand, and the three of you are top stars in the travel field. So, we hope to be able to work with you Let’s have long-term and in-depth cooperation.” The European man Schander said sincerely.
Song Wenbin opened his mouth in surprise.
Bai Shou added like a pimp: "Teacher Yan, when the person in charge of Louis Vuitton found me, I was really surprised. I was also very envious. This is a very rare opportunity. If you guys You can pass their inspection, and they say they will let you become their spokesperson.”
"ah?????"
Song Wenbin had a question mark on his head.
Huo Yu on the side burst into laughter and laughed louder and louder: "Hahahahahaha~"
Several brand executives on the side were smiling and looking at her with dignity.
After laughing, Huo Yu stared at Bai Shou and said sarcastically: "Our male host is well-known for being a slut. If you ask him to endorse top international luxury goods, aren't you just chasing a duck to get it on the shelves?"
Song Wenbin:......
Although Huo Yu's words were harsh, they were also true. It hasn't even been two and a half years since he started filming the show last year. Now he is about to accept an endorsement from such a top brand. He really feels that it is still too early.
Faced with Huo Yu's extremely sharp words, Bai Shou did not feel dissatisfied. He said calmly: "It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. This moment is also the moment. We must look at the problem from a developmental perspective. Although Teacher Yan is born Ordinary, but his spirit and soul are never vulgar, which is what the brand appreciates and values."
Song Wenbin's forehead was sweating. What a rainbow fart. He couldn't think of a way to be more commercial than this.
Su Tina on the side was also ashamed and couldn't help complaining: "What is vulgarity... Sometimes I feel that Brother Song is quite kitsch. He just says what others want to hear, right, Brother Song."
Song Wenbin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I am just a layman."
"No! You are not a layman!!"
Bai Shou said with some fanaticism and trembling: "Don't fall into the mortal world, don't have relationships, don't fall in love, even though you are surrounded by women, you still stick to your bottom line. This is the ultimate embodiment of not being vulgar!"
After a pause, he said affectionately: "Teacher Yan, you are our idol!!"
Song Wenbin:………………..
Too grassy.
Wu Junning, the human resources director of Nishangxuan on the side, also echoed: "Yes, Teacher Yan, in this era, there are more and more men like you who are not married, not in love, and not in love. When we design products, more and more It will be closer to the abstinence system, and I really can’t think of a representative who is more in line with the abstinence system than you.”
After listening to the words of these two people, Song Wenbin no longer knew what to say. He only felt that his whole body was wrapped in dense rainbow farts. Although he was awake, he could not help but feel a little drifting.
But Huo Yu stood up impatiently,
"Okay, okay." She stopped her as if coaxing a child: "Secretary Bai, I know your good intentions, but we still have to train. If there is nothing else, please come back."
"Miss Huo."
Bai Shou looked at her in surprise: "This..."
"Come and buy three fruit baskets for your next visit. Don't do all this nonsense." After saying that, she directly grabbed Song Wenbin and Sutina's arms: "Let's go!"
The huge force made Song Wenbin and Su Tina unable to resist, and they were dragged away in three strokes, leaving only Bai Shou and several senior executives of luxury goods companies who came to inspect with stunned expressions.
…
…
As soon as they left the hall, Su Tina and Song Wenbin started to twist at the same time.
"Huo Yu! Don't hold me back!" Sutina yelled.
Huo Yu let go of his hand, and Song Wenbin rubbed his arm and muttered: "I can walk by myself, can't you just tell me to leave?"
"I'm warning you, Song Wenbin, that guy named Bai is not a good person." Huo Yu said sternly.
"You don't need to remind me, it's just business. There are no good or bad people." Song Wenbin frowned.
"Actually... I think there's nothing wrong with the other party wanting to check us out..." Sutina said hesitantly: "After all, with our current popularity, it's normal to have promotions. Have you forgotten our D station number? These two Many brands come to us to promote their products.”
"You can pull him down."
Huo Yu said disgustedly: "This kind of promotion and that kind of promotion are not of the same nature. You haven't accepted the endorsement and you don't know. If something goes wrong with us, it's not us who have the final say whether we violate the contract or not." Yes! And once you breach the contract, you will be fined and paid huge compensation..."
Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu and thought of her life experience.
"Yes, what beverage brand have you endorsed before..."
"Yes, this is a very troublesome matter."
Huo Yu said: "And it is also a very painful thing. Let me tell you, if you really become the spokesperson, you will never be free in the future."
…
Since the three of them have worked together for a long time, each other has also learned some ways to avoid conflicts. Therefore, when one of the three is extremely determined and strong on something, the other two will choose to give in and accommodate that strong presence.
Huo Yu was unwilling to accept the endorsement, and Song Wenbin and Su Tina had no objections, so they immediately reinvested in training.
However, at the end of the day's training, Song Wenbin and his roommates went downstairs from the training base and were about to go to the public bathhouse next to them to take a shower. The uncle guard at the door stopped Song Wenbin and said, "Teacher Yan, Someone looking for you."
When Song Wenbin heard this, he stopped and followed the guard uncle to the foot of a rocket sculpture at the training base. Unexpectedly, he saw Bai Shou and Wu Junning, the personnel director of Nishangxuan, sitting on the bench under the sculpture, waiting for him.
"Teacher Wei!" Baikari waved and shouted.
Song Wenbin was shocked. He looked around and asked, "Why haven't you left yet??"
The training base was heavily guarded and no ordinary people could come in. He couldn't understand how Bai Shou came here.
"After all, I represent the investors." Bai Shou said, "This flight is sponsored by the investors, so I still have some authority."
"All right…"
Song Wenbin was speechless. This guy is much more difficult to deal with than Zhuo Yan. If you want to interview reporters, push him away. But this guy has a lot of background, and he can't afford to offend him easily. It's really nerve-wracking.
"Teacher Yan, I asked you for help before, it was not a lie."
Bai Shou said seriously: "Miss Huo pulled you away before I finished speaking. To be honest, this is actually a bit rude. These brands all have good relationships with our investors. It can be said that They are both partners and good friends. When they come to you, they really want to cooperate with you."
Song Wenbin quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry, Huo Yu, you guys know that she has such a temper, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. It's just that she is really busy with training during this period..."
"We know that you are busy. If you are really not hardworking and dedicated, we will not come to visit you, let alone give you resources. However, cooperation is the investor's request. Are you not willing to spare some time to consider it?"
"this……"
Song Wenbin was embarrassed.
He really wanted to leave quickly. After all, the biggest task at the moment was to go into space, and he didn't want to be distracted by other things. But the other party moved out investors, so he had to think carefully.
You must know that his current fame and momentum are almost all brought about by investors. After the first season of the show was not very popular, it was the investors who resolutely bought shares and continued the show. Even after they proposed such a ridiculous idea as space hot pot, the investors did not reject it and met their needs without even asking.
In Song Wenbin's heart, this investor he had never met before was undoubtedly a noble person in his life.
"Investors, investors still have to make a profit."
Song Wenbin tentatively said: "If we film the show well, that will be the greatest return to investors."
"No, these two are not the same thing. Just like Feifei Journey, Nichangxuan is a brand that my boss has invested in. However, because the economy has not been very prosperous in recent years, and foreign luxury brands have had a great impact on us, we We really hope to have a strong spokesperson to help us, Teacher Yan, this person is none other than you."
Song Wenbin:......
"You don't have to say you can't do it. It's just your own opinion. The fact is that you have a large number of fans abroad, and they all regard Teacher Yan as a god. With your help, Nishangxuan will definitely be even more powerful and become an international A solid step forward for luxury brands.”
Song Wenbin still couldn't agree.
Seeing this, Bai Shou continued: "Teacher Yan, I won't say much else. If you can accept Nichang Xuan's endorsement, the annual endorsement fee alone will be more than 10 million."
Song Wenbin was stunned, blood rushed to the door for a moment, and a touch of fanaticism appeared on his face: "You... how much did you say???"
"10 million."
Bai Shou said: "Although the price is not particularly high, as a star who has just started, it is already very good. Moreover, Nichangxuan is developing. If you can complete the subsequent filming, it will bring more happiness to the audience. , then the endorsement fee will naturally increase. In fact, our investors have said that if you can complete the filming of the entire second season, Nichangxuan is willing to increase the endorsement fee to 50 million."
"Yes." Wu Junning also said: "This is the top endorsement price in China. Even many first-line celebrities do not have this treatment. Teacher Yan, you must not miss it."
50 million a year, Song Wenbin was dumbfounded and his heart was beating wildly. He had never seen so much money in his life.
To be honest, if he is moved, it would be completely false if he is not moved.
But Huo Yu's words echoed in his mind unconsciously.
(…You don’t know because you haven’t accepted the endorsement. If something goes wrong with us, it’s not up to us to decide whether we will break the contract or not…)
"Then...how to calculate the breach of contract?" He asked with difficulty.
Wu Junning looked at Bai Shou, who was very surprised and said: "Teacher Yan, why are you talking about breach of contract before signing the contract?"
"Oh, I was just asking." Song Wenbin swallowed.
Bai Shou laughed and said: "Teacher Yan, you don't have to worry about this. You have completed a series of tasks in the past very well. Such small things are just a piece of cake for you."
After a pause, he continued: "Teacher Yan, I have great confidence in your ability. Don't give up this opportunity for cooperation. Just think of it as a favor for me and a favor for investors. Let's help each other, how about it?"
Song Wenbin's mouth was dry. The temptation of 50 million was so strong that his fingertips were numb. However, when he was almost unable to resist, Huo Yu's words rang in Song Wenbin's mind again.
(...Once you breach the contract, you will be fined and paid huge compensation...)
"Let's see, do you have a contract? Can you show me the contract first?" Song Wenbin gasped and said, "Wait...it won't be too late for me to sign the contract after I read it."
Bai Shou quickly said: "Of course there is."
Wu Junning stepped forward at the right time, pulled out a stack of documents from his satchel, handed it to Song Wenbin, and said, "Teacher Yan, believe us, the treatment we will give you must be the best and most fair."
Song Wenbin looked at the thick stack of contracts in his hand, weighed it, and said: "Then if nothing happens, I'll leave first. If you have anything to do, please call me. It's not convenient to talk about this in the training base."
"Eh…"
Bai Shou raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something else.
But Song Wenbin took the contract and left in a hurry.
…
At night, after absentmindedly finishing a day of study, Song Wenbin almost couldn't wait to get into bed, took out his mobile phone, followed the contract, and read it page by page.
Finally, on page 12 of the contract, Song Wenbin saw the specific compensation clause from Huo Yu.
[… When any of the following circumstances occurs, Party A may notify Party B in writing to terminate the contract. Party B still fails to correct its violation of the contract provisions within ten days after receiving Party A’s written notice requiring it to correct its violation of the contract provisions. or during the period of this contract, the artist is recognized to have committed inappropriate behavior or other behavior, which has negatively affected Party A's reputation and caused Party A's negative impact or loss of goodwill. If this contract is terminated due to the reasons stipulated in this item, Party B will be responsible for fully compensating Party A for any damages, losses, and expenses incurred. (Including but not limited to attorney's fees) The maximum compensation shall be twice the actual remuneration received in accordance with Article 7.1. 】
*Inappropriate behavior: This means that the artist’s behavior has violated the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China under Chinese law and has been sentenced or wanted, or the artist’s positioning has fundamentally deviated from market opinion. Unable to perform the responsibilities required by the contract within the time limit.
…
When Song Wenbin saw this, he couldn't stand it anymore.
There was no sound inside and outside the training base at this moment, and most people had fallen into a quiet sleep.
Only Song Wenbin's back was soaked, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Double compensation.
If the endorsement fee is 10 million, the compensation will be 20 million.
If the endorsement fee is 50 million, the compensation is 100 million.
One hundred million...
Song Wenbin was horrified.
The palm of his hand shook subconsciously, and the clean contract written in black and white in his hand seemed to be sticky with blood, and he shook it to the ground.
In modern society, sharp blades are wrapped in the cloak of rationality, but when the cloak of rationality is taken off, the will to kill is far sharper than the tip of the bamboo in ancient times.
At this moment, the phone buzzed.
Song Wenbin looked at the note on the number, swallowed his saliva, and felt chills all over his body. He didn't dare to wake up his roommates, so he took his mobile phone to the outside of the dormitory and answered the call with trembling fingers.
"Teacher I hate you." A respectful shout came from the phone.
Song Wenbin took a deep breath and pretended to be in a dazed tone as if he had just woken up: "Hello..."
"Teacher Yan, have you decided?" Bai Shou asked impatiently on the phone.
"Well, I haven't had time to read the contract yet."
Song Wenbin replied ignorantly: "It's not far away from the time to go to space. I need to spend a lot of time and energy studying flight technology every day."
"Ah?? Teacher Yan..." Bai Shou was a little anxious: "Investors have high expectations for you."
"Wait for me for a while, and I will give you an answer later." Before Bai Shou could say anything, Song Wenbin hung up the phone decisively.
After hanging up the phone, his heart was beating like a drum.
There are no broken roads, no flashes of swords, no waves, no freezing temperatures, no annoying mosquitoes, and no madmen throwing cow dung.
But at this moment, Song Wenbin felt that this journey was more dangerous than any other one in the past.
