This man knows how to hype

Chapter 78 This is the top stream

If you compare the customer to a wall.

Then, public relations and marketing are like ivy on the wall.

No matter whether the wall is beautiful, ordinary or ugly, it will look different with the embellishment or covering of ivy.

This is why Xu Xiyu told Gong Lingyun why he named it "Ivy". Of course, Ivy is not only a plant, but also an animal that is climbing a mountain.

At this time, it was almost 12 o'clock in the morning. He had already left Gong Lingyun's house and found a hotel nearby to stay in.

Just as he was about to wash up, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw the three big words "Ke Xinying" on the screen, which made him instantly happy.

I haven't sent her my recording yet.

But there's probably no need to send it now. The phone call came in, which shows that someone has found her.

Thinking of this, he collapsed on the bed. Before he could say anything, he heard Ke Xinying's indifferent voice: "You are quite capable of making trouble."

"It's okay." Xu Xiyu stretched and said.

"Zhang Yiyuan is spreading the word that you are my man. Meng Chengming just called me to confirm this."

"Really?" Xu Xiyu replied after thinking about it.

He suddenly realized that Zhang Yiyuan was actually quite smart.

Intuitively, he shouldn't have reminded those people that his "backer" might be Ke Xinying. After all, the more "plain" he is, the less scruples people will have when they start fighting.

But in many cases, doing things is counterintuitive.

If he was just a nobody, the people involved this time might not necessarily retaliate against him. But if his backer was Ke Xinying, it would be different.

Who is Ke Xinying? She is a shareholder of Huaqing, so her favor is still worth something. As long as the people involved are not stupid, their first reaction will be to pretend to deal with Xu Xiyu.

Then, when Ke Xinying intervened, she would take advantage of the situation to sell the favor. The more favors she owed, the more profit she would have to make from Xu Xiyu to make back her money.

In this situation, what good can Xu Xiyu get?

From Zhang Yiyuan's perspective, this was the only way to really hurt Xu Xiyu. Moreover, he might even be able to gain a favor from Ke Xinying.

Of course, the above is based on the assumption that Ke Xinying would ask for favors.

What if she's unlovable?

Then the people involved will have to take revenge on Xu Xiyu immediately. If they don't take action now, wouldn't it mean that everyone will be afraid when they hear Ke Xinying's name, so if she doesn't show up, no one will dare to take revenge on Xu Xiyu?
No one would want to bear this reputation. Ke Xinying does not have such status in the society. If someone were to use this to make trouble for her, she would be laughed to death.

So Zhang Yiyuan was doing a job of blocking both ends. He was quite capable, at least he could ensure that Xu Xiyu was caught by everyone.

However, this also indirectly helped Xu Xiyu, because what he wanted was to be messed with by everyone. Otherwise, how could this scene be interesting?

Thinking of this, he deliberately asked into the phone: "So, I'm in big trouble now? Will you support me?"

"Okay, but I have conditions." Ke Xinying agreed readily.

"What conditions?" The more straightforward he asked, the deeper Xu Xiyu's frown became, because this woman was too costly.

"In addition to what I told you before, there is one more thing. If you sign with Hua Qing, I will find an agent to guide you so that you don't have to be restless all day long." Ke Xinying said.

"How do you sign?" Xu Xiyu said as he sat up from the bed. The main course was finally served.

"A full contract for newcomers, 80:20, for five years." Ke Xinying said quickly. A full contract means signing all kinds of business contracts, including film and television contracts, music contracts, performance contracts, commercial contracts and even live broadcast contracts.

Some signing methods are to sign a single business, and this model is more common among mature artists.

"I take eight?" Xu Xiyu said deliberately.

"You are stupid." Ke Xinying said with a double meaning.

Without waiting for a reply, she continued, "I can guarantee that you will have three TV series to film every year for five years, with at least a second male lead role. They will all be big productions, with an investment of 200 to 300 million."

"Don't you Huaqing make TV series? 15 series in five years, to billion investment?" Xu Xiyu frowned. In an instant, a bad guess appeared in his mind.

"We have so many artists in Huaqing, are they all making movies? I'm even acting in TV series myself."

"That's different. The competition in the industry is so fierce now. If you don't invest in a TV series with a budget of 200 to 300 million, how can you guarantee that I can be the second male lead in three or more movies every year?"

"Don't worry about this. The fact that I dare to sign this contract with you proves that I can do it."

"Then how much money can I expect to earn?" Xu Xiyu continued to ask while thinking.

When Ke Xinying heard this, she started to estimate in her mind. With an investment of 30 to 40 billion, if the operation was successful, Xu Xiyu's salary could be around 600 million.

The first part is more, the latter part is less, the average is about 4000 million, the top price. If we calculate it at 1.2, the amount that Xu Xiyu got is about million.

With the 1.2 million in hand, he will definitely spend it, for example, buying some art, finding a Japanese or European master to do some expensive styling for him, etc.

Or spend money on marketing or something like that.

All in all, he has to pay back the film remuneration he received and return to where it belongs.

As for business income, Xu Xiyu doesn't need to give it out. In principle, whatever he earns after the distribution is his.

But this is in principle.

Don't forget that you have to pay taxes when you make money.

The tax for a film pay of 1.2 million is about 5300 million, so the real pay is about 1.2 million. But "paying back" is not calculated in this way. If you are given 1.2 million, you have to pay back million.

In other words, he has to use the money he earns from business to offset the tax on his film remuneration. If his film remuneration for five years can reach 1.2 million, then his personal share of the business income must also be at least 1.2 million, that is, the total business revenue must reach 6 million, to be considered profitable.

The film salary is 1.2 million yuan, and the commercial personal income is 1.2 million yuan, so the total base tax to be paid is 2.4 million yuan. If there is no trick, it will probably be 1.06 million yuan.

Then his after-tax income is about 1.34 million.

And then pay back the 1.2 million yuan in film remuneration.

Xu Xiyu made a net profit of 1400 million in five years.

If the film remuneration was not so severe and some was left for him, maybe 2000 million or 2500 million. That's right, 6 million in total commercial revenue, plus 6 million in film remuneration, a total of 12 billion on the books.

His net income was only between 1400 million and 2500 million, and the actual distribution was about 1.16% to 2.08%, far from the : ratio that Ke Xinying mentioned.

This is the case when his total business revenue can equal his film salary. If not, he will most likely face the situation of being penniless after working for five years.

Of course, they are not stupid. They will arrange the remuneration according to the commercial value, and it will probably be fair.

This is how “top-tier Xu Xiyu” is used in the eyes of Ke Xinying and Hu Ningtian.

Thinking of this, she said calmly, "Some things can't be calculated clearly now, and the money is made in commercial contracts. Don't care so much about whether you get paid or not.

How about it, are you interested? Five years from now you will only be 5 years old. With our training, you can be at your peak by then. You can renew your contract or start your own business. It’s all fine.”

As soon as she said this, Xu Xiyu instantly understood what she meant.

That means she won't make any money in the next five years. She is betting that she will still be prosperous in five years, and she won't have to be charged so much by then.

For an ordinary person, this condition is not unacceptable. With 15 dramas in five years, this idiot should have become famous.

But Xu Xiyu couldn't accept this. So he asked the question he wanted to know most: "What if I don't sign a contract with you?"

"Signing a contract is a two-way choice. Can I force you to buy or sell?" Ke Xinying laughed. What she meant was that she wanted to force you to buy or sell.

Xu Xiyu could understand, but didn't know how she was forcing people to buy or sell. So she said with a hint of meaning, "That's right. In a society ruled by law, there is no such thing as forced sales."

"That's right, it all depends on the relationship. Once the relationship is right, cooperation will come naturally." Ke Xinying's words also seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Yes, I'll think about it."

"Then you need to hurry up, or I really can't help you with your current troubles."

"It's okay. At worst, I can just quit this job, right?"

"That's a pity. You are suitable for this line of work. However, I respect your choice. I wish you good luck."

"Thank you."

"It should."

After talking for a while, the two hung up the phone, and Xu Xiyu's face suddenly became gloomy.

Sure enough, I could only catch her off guard the first time. She is very difficult to deal with now.

On the other side, Ke Xinying had the same feeling.

She felt that Xu Xiyu was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. That bastard Hu Ningtian really knew how to pick on people.

Pick a treasure at a glance!
The night passed as the two of them struggled with their own problems.

The next morning, Xu Xiyu and Gong Lingyun rushed to Lu Qinyao's studio.

After entering the studio, Xu Xiyu's first words were: "Brothers, girls, let's have a big time today."
