Generation Z Artists

Chapter 58: Take a walk, big brother
Your brother Fang is a good actor who has the taste of cunt marinated into his bones.

Such a show of force at the very beginning made all the members of Jeanswest feel so frightened that they knelt down on the spot.

Whether a person is awesome or stupid ultimately depends on his age and what he does, and whether there is a huge mismatch between them.

A 70-year-old woman running a full marathon and an 80-year-old man having sex with six women in one night will definitely make headlines and anyone who sees them will be stunned.

The same concept applies to Yixun Xiaofang's self-discipline.

The strongest determination is nothing, everyone can set a determination, but only the sweat shed can prove its depth.

For an idol writer like Fang Xinghe who has already become famous and can make a living by relying on his looks, the value of his sweat is ten times higher.

The aunt in charge took the initiative to reveal the truth on the spot: "Student Fang Xinghe, you are the spokesperson we are looking for. No one is more suitable than you!"

Now that things have come to this, Fang Xinghe is no longer in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, I need to learn more about your company."

The Jeanswest side was very pleased, and the assistant took out a full set of information and started to explain it.

It turns out that Jeanswest has been established for a long time. It was originally an Australian clothing brand. It was acquired by Ascending Sun in 90 and established as the Hong Kong company. It entered the Chinese market in 93, so in theory it is both an international brand and a national enterprise.

Just fool around and change as needed.

This brand was popular for a while at the beginning, but with the development of the domestic clothing market, their high pricing and low cost-effectiveness gradually became unsuccessful. This year, Jeanswest learned from its mistakes and decided to make a strategic transformation.

According to Ms. Yang, the person in charge, Jeanswest is preparing to cut prices and change its positioning, becoming a fast fashion brand popular among young people, expanding the scale of stores, and making efforts in the north.

She really made me cry so hard, she didn’t hide her feelings at all…

Mr. Fang quickly realized his value to Jeanswest - the positioning is extremely accurate, the image is extremely fitting, it is the most popular at the same price point, and it has the strongest sense of youth at the same popularity.

Isn’t this the Chosen Spokesperson?

In this case, if we don't use our full strength to hit her hard, wouldn't that be so unkind to Ms. Yang's kindness?

"How many years does your company plan to sign me, and what is the endorsement fee?"

"Three years, 50 per year."

Fang Xinghe didn't even think about it, and doubled it and then rounded it off: "Two years, 100 million per year."

Then, he seemed to see a hint of admiration in Ms. Yang's eyes?
In order to prove that he was not mistaken, Fang Xinghe quietly opened the starlight panel, and wow, Ms. Yang was emitting a strong green light, a level 2 core fan!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, your price is too high. Lu Yi's current endorsement offer is only 60 per year..."

As she refused, she turned to look at the marketing manager: "Manager Gao, could you please explain to Fang our budget and common practices in advertising? By the way, let's focus on the advertising concept of Jeanswest..."

True heart, true self?

Good man, you’re putting it on my face?

Fang Xinghe didn't listen to what the manager said. He only noticed that Ms. Yang bent her right index and middle fingers and tapped her legs twice casually with her knuckles.

Get it!

"Lu Yi is worth 60?" Fang Xinghe frowned slightly and changed his words unhappily: "My fame is at least ten times his, right? That's too insulting. Two years, 200 million per year."

Suddenly, Ms. Yang turned her head in surprise, her eyes full of shock.

I mean you can add another 20, where are you shouting to? !
Uh... okay, no big problem.

The man has feelings, the woman has intentions, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, so they can eventually reach an agreement.

After a not-so-long tug-of-war, when the other side mentioned 120 million, Fang Xinghe finally gave in and took it.

Two years, a total of 240 million, without those messy terms of later generations. You only need to shoot an advertisement and take posters for new products in spring and autumn every year, and you can get the money.

The first year’s payment will be paid immediately after signing the contract, and the second payment will be paid on the contract date next year.

Money is indeed valuable these days, but there is only one person like Fang Xinghe in the Chinese-speaking world who is extremely suitable as the spokesperson for a fast fashion brand for teenagers. There is really nothing we can do about it.

If their company was not too small and could not squeeze out more budget, Fang Xinghe estimated that the price of his first advertisement could be raised further.

After the details were basically settled, Ms. Yang became more relaxed and said frankly, "In fact, if you, Fang, hadn't come out of nowhere, we originally didn't plan to hire a spokesperson. It's not about the money, but we just don't think it's right for the current celebrities."

Fang Xinghe was delighted - fortunately his buddy stopped Nandu's undercover visit in time, otherwise, once the arson record was exposed, Jeanswest would definitely not dare to come to the door.

Spend 5 yuan, fight for two months, and earn back 240 million yuan in a blink of an eye. It's a gift from fate that you know but don't get. It's really interesting.

After a brief pause, she gave a meaningful reminder: "Before you become an adult, you have no substitute in China. Xie Miao was one, but now he has changed a little... Shi Xiaolong is still young and doesn't know what puberty is like. So as long as the brand temperament can match, I believe there will be many companies willing to pay you more endorsement fees."

Fang Xinghe could roughly understand her hint, but he didn't care.

He replied: "With your company's 240 million, I will no longer be short of money. Therefore, there will be no more endorsements for the time being. Your company will be exclusive."

When this was heard by Mr. Li, the boss of the group, he waved his hand and said, "Give him an additional 88888 yuan in signing bonus! It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it makes me feel good just by hearing it!"

The contract was signed on August 8 and the money arrived on August 12. At this time, Fang Xinghe had already boarded a plane to Shanghai to shoot the first advertisement in his life.

Even though it was just an advertisement, he was finally going to get electrified.

Regarding this, the future movie star is feeling nervous but also has unspeakable expectations.

What is it like to shoot a commercial?
The more fantasies you have before going, the more disappointments you will have after filming starts.

too easy.

As soon as I entered the set, the director said, “Fuck!”

The filming started. The director said, "Xiao Fang, give me a brighter smile... Damn it!"

Next one, Director: "Now let's get a little wild... WTF!"

If he was the only one exclaiming, it would be fine. But in fact, all the staff members exclaimed with him, making Fang Xinghe's head buzz.

Although I knew before coming here that this was most likely not a professional crew, their outrageousness was indeed too outrageous...

But the director said confidently: "Xiao Fang, based on my many years of experience in the advertising industry, you are definitely a natural born superstar! Even after being on camera, you can still look so handsome, who can compare to you? It would be a shame if you don't become popular!"

Fang Xinghe just thought he was flattering him and didn't take it seriously.

The director got anxious and said, "Really? I was one of the top ten commercial directors last year. I've even filmed Ge You!"

Oh, sorry.

Fang Xinghe looked around the studio lazily: "This is where the top ten directors shoot?"

This kid is really annoying.

The director jumped up with a red face: "Oh, a fast fashion brand that specializes in teenagers, why does it need to have an awesome plot? Just be cool!"

Hey, there's really nothing wrong with the logic.

Then Fang Xinghe relied on his handsomeness to easily shoot the commercials and still photos.

There is only one line in total: True heart, true self, Truewest!
"Xiao Fang, you are so nice!"

The director continued to praise him, and Fang Xinghe smiled reservedly, but the other person forced his business card upon him despite his distant attitude.

"Here, here. I have quite a lot of advertising and music videos. If there are any more awesome projects, I will continue to look for you to be the lead actor!"

I took it and looked at it. It turned out to be Tan Xiaogang, a graduate of the Fine Arts Department of Beijing Film Academy Class of 93. Oh, you’re my senior?
But he said nothing, just stood quietly by and listened to the final communication between Ms. Yang and the director.

Ms. Yang: "Xiao Fang's voice is pretty good. Would you like to add a few more words?"

Director: "That's enough. I have the ability to add lyrics, and I can even make a short feature film, but who will care about you guys at Levi's then?"

Ms. Yang: "You all went to see him? That's not impossible..."

Director: “Hmm?”

Ms. Yang: "Ahem, what I mean is, isn't there a solution that has the best of both worlds?"

Director: "Yes! Isn't it now? Adding more words will steal the show, and keeping silent will steal the show even more. Now there is a word, and the three words "Jeanswest" are emphasized, which is enough to satisfy both."

Ms. Yang said happily: "Anyway, as long as he wears our Jeanswest clothes, he will be the center of attention, right?"

The director glanced at her and said, "Boss Yang, your stance is wrong!"

Ms. Yang spread her hands indifferently: "It's a waste of money to advertise on satellite TV, and the publicity effect is limited. What we really rely on is the huge posters posted in offline stores. It doesn't matter how the advertising film is shot."

"Ah!" The director slapped his thigh fiercely, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Then he turned to Fang Xinghe and asked, "Xiao Fang, what sports are you good at? Let's shoot a set of sports shots, and then a set of close-ups of sweat dripping from your forehead and gathering at the tip of your nose and chin. I guarantee that the female audience will die of thirst!"

Fang Xinghe used his limited composition skills to ponder it for a moment, and immediately felt the spiciness and sexiness of Director Tan.

You know what, if this set of shots is shot well, it will be really murderous.

He opened the panel and took a look. His coordination was 82. Among the basic martial arts skills, Tai Chi and spring kick were both 75. Fang Xinghe thought for a while and said, "Then I'll do some city parkour."

"???"

The two of them had a lot of questions in their heads: "What is parkour?"

Huh?
Is there no such thing in China now?
Fang Xinghe was also excited. He had originally planned to just deal with it casually, but suddenly he became serious about it.

So, it took two full days to shoot a shot of just a few dozen seconds, which exceeded the budget by a lot.

“Oh shit!” The director threw the storyboard to the ground and spun around in excitement. “It’s going to be a hit, it’s definitely going to be a hit!”

Ms. Yang looked at the material and made a decisive decision: "If the editing effect is not compromised, then we will change the plan and broadcast it on CCTV-1 during prime time!"

"You will definitely be satisfied with my editing, just wait and see!"

"Well, thank you for your help." Ms. Yang turned to look at Fang Xinghe again, her eyes bright.

"Xiao Fang, it looks like we have to add another press conference... Don't worry, we'll pay more! Also, if the show is good, we'll spend more money to make a more exciting one next year. Do you have the confidence?"

next year?

Next year my level won't be the same as it is now...

"I'm still in the growth stage, so let's wait and see. If we can cooperate well, everything is possible."

Mr. Fang lazily made an ambiguous scene, pulling Jeanswest like a dog, panting and sticking out his tongue...

After the shooting schedule was completely finished, the young model rejected the proposal of Jeanswest to arrange a high-end dinner and went to Xinminbao on her own.

When you arrive in Shanghai, you must meet Aunt Chen.

I took a taxi to Yan'an Road. Wow, Xinmin's buildings are so beautiful.

Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, he walked to the gate and found Chen Danya waiting there for him.

"Xiao Fang!" Chen Danya was very happy. The first thing she did was to raise her hand to compare his height. "Have you grown taller recently?"

"Yes, 1 centimeter."

Fang Xinghe raised his index finger with a smile in his eyes: "I'm 1 meters tall."

"Okay, okay, I promise you'll grow to 1.8 meters before you reach adulthood!"

Nowadays, people's understanding of tall people is 188 meters, but in Fang Xinghe's time, the standard for tall people was at least meters.

He plans to adapt to the local customs and keep his weight at 184.

If the actress is short, she can wear flat-bottomed clothes. When she needs to be in the same frame with a male actor, she can pad it out by 5 cm.

The main focus is on a kind of scheming freedom.

But generally speaking, there should be no need for height-increasing pads, as there seem to be few male actors over 185cm tall these days.

If it's someone like Chen Kun or Brother Xiao Ming... let them do whatever they want!
Brother Fang is not weak at all.

"Come, let's talk in my office."

Chen Danya took him upstairs, and when they passed the work station on the way, she asked a girl to buy some fruit.

When she sat down in the office, what she was most concerned about was still Fang Xinghe's mental condition.

"I'm fine, being scolded is nothing."

"Then you have to be careful too." She was very cautious. "You are famous now, with a good reputation, and you are not on the same side as them. They must be thinking about ruining your reputation all the time."

"Ok, I know."

As for the dispute over positions, Aunt Chen saw it very clearly.

Then he asked curiously: "Is Xinmin considered an official media now?"

Chen Danya replied truthfully: "Of course we count. We are now part of the Wenhui Xinmin United Newspaper Group, with 16 overseas editions, the lowest cost per thousand people, the highest media first choice rate, and the highest electronic edition click rate. I dare not say that we can fully protect you, but we are definitely not afraid of the Southern Media Group."

"That's good." Fang Xinghe joked, "When my new book comes out, I'll have to trouble Aunt Chen to help promote it."

"must!"

She was very happy and then asked, "It hasn't been finalized yet. Have you set a date in advance?"

“About a month after the new concept was launched.”

"good idea!"

Chen Danya was excited for just a second, but suddenly she became worried: "Your article "Youth"... I'm afraid young children may not be able to accept it..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xinghe also felt a pain in the back of his head and rarely revealed a bitter smile.

When I was sharpening the sword, I never thought it would be like this!

Who knew the KPI could be completed so early?

Damn it, I haven't even drawn my sword yet, the battle is over...

According to his original plan, he would probably have to cling to his good brother until the New Concept Composition Collection was published before he could become popular across the country.

However, the unexpected turmoil of the times brought about unexpected great opportunities. The several interviews and articles that were written on the spot were perfect. We grasped the opportunities firmly in our hands, and step by step, everything came naturally.

At first, he sharpened three swords for himself.

"Growing Up" is the bottom line, aiming for the romantic and imaginative little girls in adolescence.

"Youth" is a massacre, targeting all young people under the age of 20, regardless of friend or foe, rushing in and killing them indiscriminately.

"Sex" is a declaration of war, telling the whole world, I am here, and my wildness is more than you have ever seen.

result……

Three swords, without making a single move, the original vision of one sword lighting up the Nineteen Continents has been realized.

Uh, that’s not right. Actually, those three swords were only half of the plan. At least one judge of the competition was killed, which led to everything that happened later.

Originally this was a good thing, as he made a lot of money from the star points, which he used to upgrade the system and increase all attributes, without wasting any time at all.

As a result, the order is now reversed. He has become famous and established a fan base, but "Youth" is published later, which suddenly seems a bit inappropriate.

That article...how to describe it...I was just trying to get some heat at first...it was a bit fierce...

Well, actually it’s pretty fierce.

Think about it, how can something that is specifically used to stir up emotions and anger not be vicious?
But there was nothing he could do. Now that things had come to this, he could only let things take their course.

In the end, it was he who went to comfort Aunt Chen: "It's okay. There will be more things they can't accept in the future. What's most important is that I feel good about writing."

"You really..."

Chen Danya sighed and changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Did you go to see Qi Gang and Lao Zhao?"

"No, I'm not going. Those two old guys are annoying me."

"Hahaha, you little bastard, you're the most annoying person!"

"But I really want to go see someone else." Fang Xinghe raised his lips and raised his eyebrows at Chen Danya's puzzled look. "I heard that middle schools in Shanghai start school early. It's almost September. Has Songjiang No. 9 Middle School started yet?"

Chen Danya was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and laughed so hard that she almost cried.

"You are such a bad guy... Wait a minute, I'll call and ask for you now!"

I called and found out, what a coincidence, that Songjiang No. 2 Middle School had already started school the day before yesterday.

"It seems like he deserves to be stopped by me..." Fang Xinghe stood up with a smile and waved goodbye, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go see my good brother. He dared to slander me in the newspaper. It's time to settle the score."

Chen Danya stuffed a bag of fruit bought by her assistant into his hands and said with a smile, "Go ahead, have a good chat, but don't hit anyone."

"Good idea. I'll see what his attitude is."

Fang Xinghe suddenly felt that if his good brother’s attitude made him unhappy, it would be interesting to give him a beating?

Aren't men's emotions all developed through fighting?

He is 16 and I am 14. He is a sports student and I have practiced martial arts. It's fair, really fair.

Not long after, with a determination to fight to the death, Fang Xinghe happily stood at the gate of No. 2 Middle School.

It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon, still early for school to end, and the campus was quiet.

The main gate of No. 2 Middle School was locked. Next to the small door was the guard room, where an old man with a serious expression was reading a newspaper with his head down.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Fang Xinghe knocked on the window glass gently, and when the old man raised his head, he pulled the mask down a little bit and raised the pocket in his hand high.

"Uncle, I'm a freshman in high school this year..."

The old man slowly opened the window and asked in standard Mandarin, "Which shift are you from?"

"From Class 10."

Fang Xinghe smiled obediently, and felt that he had grasped the introverted temperament of southern students to perfection, and he could handle it 100%.

The old man continued to ask slowly, "From Class 10, your last name is Fang?"

"Yes, yes...eh?" Fang Xinghe's eyes widened instantly, "How did you know?"

The old man spread the newspaper in his hand on the table, tapped the color page with his fingers, looked at him as if he was a fool, and sighed: "I'm not blind!"

Fang Xinghe looked down and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Xinmin Daily, education section, my face took up at least 8% of the large color page!

It was so tragic. I suddenly wanted to infiltrate as an agent, but I ran into someone's gun...

"Haha!" Fang Xinghe laughed dryly and raised the bag of apples and oranges again. "Han Han and I are good friends. I came here specially to see him. Can you let me in?"

"Go ahead! No one can stop you... Have a good look around, and if you like it, you can transfer here!"

The old man waved his hand, and the electric switch slowly opened a crack. Fang Xinghe hurriedly took out a few oranges and apples, stuffed them into the window, and ran away quickly.

Damn, this is a bad start...

But it’s not a big problem. The students from No. 2 Middle School will pay back for what they suffered from the security guard later!
