My wife is in my arms

Chapter 855 Important Eight

He had received an answer from his assistant.

Zhong Li was no longer as resistant to Xu Lun becoming the spokesperson for the company's beverage. Moreover, she suddenly realized that if the recent college graduates she had hired last year liked him, it meant that Xu Lun might actually become a new generation idol.

Like many family-owned companies.

Her original assistant belonged to another faction within the family. If it weren't for the leak of her conversation with a very important customer, she would never have imagined that her assistant would betray her.

So last year she switched to a younger one.

Lack of experience can be gradually cultivated.

As long as loyalty is high enough, that's better than anything else.

Having made her decision, Zhong Li glanced at the time and didn't beat around the bush any further. After all, just as Li Xin had said, compared to the exorbitant endorsement fees of other well-known artists, it was better to choose this one with potential.

The future is more important than the present. If Xu Lun develops well in the future, she can also gain more say at home and in the company by leveraging the success of this spokesperson selection.

In this social climate, if you want people to listen to your words, you have to show results. Zhong Li chose to ask directly, "How much endorsement fee are you planning to ask for!"

"Two million a year"

Li Xin held up two fingers, about to explain the "two million" endorsement fee, but Zhong Li shook her head without hesitation, refusing, "I can only give Xu Lun a maximum of one and a half million a year. He's a newcomer, and it's hard to say what the future holds. I can take a gamble, but I can't bet that high. Don't try to bargain with me. This is already the price I'm offering out of respect for Mr. Zhang You. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to see me."

"it is good"

Li Xin nodded in agreement immediately.

She also knew that before Xu Lun achieved any success, it was already very difficult for a newcomer who had not yet officially debuted to get an endorsement, especially one worth 1.5 million.

She can rely on Mr. Zhang You's help, but there is a limit to that help.

If it's too much, they might as well replace her with a more famous artist. Her asking price of two million is a reasonable increase, leaving room for negotiation between the two parties.

Jolyne, sitting on the sofa, looked somewhat incredulous.

His agent has already secured an endorsement deal for him! It seems so easy.

However, Xu Lun also overheard his manager's conversation with CEO Zhong. Although he was very confident in his album, he couldn't guarantee it would work until it achieved success. Ironically, his manager was able to secure an endorsement for him based on "future."

At this moment, Xu Lun looked at Li Xin, the agent arranged for him by Mr. Zhang You, with a hint of respect in his eyes.

"The contract should be for three to five years!"

When it came to five years, Zhong Li changed her mind at the last minute.

She suddenly remembered that Xu Lun had been chosen by Zhang You, and his future development might be even better. Since she had already agreed to have him be the spokesperson for the company's beverage, she might as well spend an extra three million to have him endorse it for two more years.

The future is shrouded in mystery.

Hidden within this fog are things to be looked down upon, but equally, there are also infinite possibilities. What if... Jolyne's album, to be released on the 12th of next month, sells well? That 1.5 million annual endorsement fee isn't high.

In particular, his assistant thought Xu Lun's song was good.

The main consumer group for beverages is roughly the same age group, so this complements each other. "Good."

Li Xin was overjoyed.

However, she still tried very hard to restrain herself and not let her joy show.

"There's one thing I need to clarify: if Xu Lun, as the spokesperson for this company's beverage, is exposed for any negative incidents, she will be required to pay defamation damages."

Zhong Li said earnestly.

"understand"

Li Xin nodded without hesitation.

Some time ago, she asked Jiang Yiren's agent to add her to the agent group. She never spoke and was secretly learning. As a former company executive, Li Xin understood the rules of the workplace very well.

When you're still a newcomer, never try to be clever and make yourself noticed. Not only will it not work, but you'll also become a thorn in other people's side. If you say something nice, people will think you're fake as a newcomer, and if you say something wrong, they'll look at you like you're an idiot.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to first observe how people discuss business in the group, then gather information based on their conversations. Over time, as Xu Lun gains fame, she will be truly accepted.

Because she secretly lurked in the group every day when she had nothing to do, and because she had also learned about the job content and nature of the agent in the past few days, she realized that even if an artist receives the endorsement fee after accepting an endorsement, they still have to pay a breach of contract fee if any scandals are exposed.

It's not like you get the money and it's gone, and then nothing happens.

However, the compensation is only proportional, and it's impossible to pay too much. If it were too much... the artist would never agree to sign such a contract. After all, anything can happen, and who knows when their career will collapse? So they take this aspect very seriously.

Next, because Zhong Li had a meeting, Li Xin left with Xu Lun.

As she left the company... Li Xin secretly did some mental calculations: 1.5 million a year, 7.5 million in five years. The studio would take 50%, Xu Lun 40%, and the remaining 10% would be hers.

That's about right... and you still have to pay taxes, so it would be at least 500,000. When this number appeared in her mind, Li Xin felt it was unbelievable, and she suddenly understood why so many people wanted to be stars.

This way, the money comes in really fast.

The money earned from just one endorsement deal is enough for an ordinary person to work themselves to death for a lifetime. This also explains why many agents in the group stay in this profession for life. Mainly because if you do this job well, the income can indeed surpass that of most other professions.

The key is that if you really make an artist famous, not only will they earn a high income, but they will also have a very respectable job.

Li Xin opened the car door and let Xu Lun get in first, then sat in the driver's seat and drove him to the filming location of the MV "Heroic Spirits". After driving for a while, Xu Lun said, "You're amazing."

"Don't you think that with your album becoming an instant hit, this 1.5 million yuan annual endorsement fee is too low?!"

Li Xin made a joke.

Jolyne scratched her head awkwardly.

"By the way, in the contract you signed with 'Youyi Studio,' you were paid 40%, right??"

Seeing Xu Lun nod, Li Xin said, "My 10% is taken from the other 60%. Xu Lun... do you know how the other newcomers get their cut?"

Noticing Xu Lun's somewhat bewildered expression, Li Xin said earnestly, "The 10% rule means that artists can only take 10% of the profits, while the remaining 90% goes to the company. You and October Band basically split the profits 50/50. When you leave, you can even take the songs you created with you. To be honest, after lurking in the manager group for the past few days, I really feel that your boss doesn't seem like a boss, but rather like someone doing charity work."
