Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 35: Becoming a celebrity has many benefits

"Dear, drive slower, drive slower!"

A few days later, a brand new Toyota Crown was speeding on the road from Yangcheng to Panyu.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Yuying looked at the car, which had already reached a speed of 100 miles per hour, and was so scared that she kept reminding her boyfriend to be careful.

"Is this fast?"

This speed is nothing to an experienced driver like Cao Jian.

The main reason is that this purely imported car is in really good condition and is quite comfortable to drive.

Today he is going to take his girlfriend to pay the down payment for custom-made clothes.

During this period, Cao Jian found a store not far from Tianhe Stadium and registered the brand.

Only in this way can we develop even greater in the future.

As for the name of the clothing brand, Yang Yuying originally wanted to call it "Urban Beauty" or "Modern Girl", but they were all rejected by Cao Jian.

These names are too vulgar and not grand at all.

However, Western styles are popular now, so after discussion, we finally chose the name "Aini".

Cao Jian thought the name was okay, as it was a homophone of "love you" (爱爱你), so it was acceptable.

"It's really fast."

Watching the trees on the roadside recede, Yang Yuying asked in confusion, "You just got your license, how come you're such a good driver?"

"Haha, I used to drive a tractor back home. A car is much easier to drive than a tractor."

Cao Jian had driven a tractor and threshed grains in circles in the threshing ground, but he learned these skills before his rebirth.

There were no surveillance cameras on the road these days. He held the steering wheel with one hand and held his girlfriend's hand with the other: "Your album is going to be released tomorrow. How do you feel?"

Yang Yuying's first album, "Tell You Gently", was much better produced than Cao Jian's album. The MV also had some special effects, so it took more time to produce.

Cao Jian’s album was released on New Year’s Day, and Yang Yuying’s on February 1st.

Many people will buy new tape recorders for their homes before the Spring Festival. If they are launched at this time, the tapes will definitely sell better.

As for the album "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", it is planned to be released in May next year.

In the eyes of Xinshidai, Yang Yuying, who signed the contract, is her biological daughter, and Cao Jian is at most an adopted son who may run away at any time.

Now "Tell You Gently" has started to be promoted as planned, but no one expected that "Walk Away with Style" would be so popular, and no one can guarantee how many copies of Yang Yuying's album can be sold.

The sweet girl was naturally nervous about this.

Although this girl usually looks weak, she is actually very strong inside.

She also wanted to prove her ability and prove that there was nothing wrong in giving up her job as a kindergarten teacher and going south to sing.

Hearing Cao Jian's question, she smiled and said, "You wrote the song, I believe it will sell well, but I'm worried that so many clothes won't be sold."

"Don't worry about the clothes."

Cao Jian believes in the star effect. As long as the album sells well, he doesn't have to worry about no one buying his clothes.

Yang Yuying was still a little worried: "But we only have one store now. Even if business is booming, how much can we sell?"

"I have a solution."

Cao Jian has already thought about it and plans to advertise on TV once he gets the money.

Advertising on TV is not expensive nowadays, so if you want to build a good brand, advertising on TV is a must.

What are the hit dramas this year?

It seems that a co-production drama of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" is very popular.

How many people feel sorry for Cheng Lingsu.

Yuan Ziyi also had some tea.

But this drama was filmed in Changbai Mountain, and the theme song "Dream Chaser" is also very nice. It is still a very good drama.

In addition, there is a drama called "A Play on Qianlong", which seems to have a high viewership rating this year.

There is also a play called "The Windlass Woman and the Well" in China.

Cao Jian watched it that year, but he forgot the plot and remembered the songs.

"Women are not water, and men are not jars."

With just a wave of advertising and Yang Yuying's star effect, the clothing brand will surely become famous.

Even fake platinum can become real through advertising, let alone we are real.

Cao Jian already had a plan in mind, and his girlfriend's worries were completely unnecessary.

At this time, Yang Yuying asked again: "By the way, the boss came to me today and asked about your thoughts on the contract."

"Not yet. I want to see how the company packages you before making a decision."

This is an excuse Cao Jian just came up with recently.

With this excuse, firstly, the company could pay more attention to Yang Yuying, secondly, it could postpone the response time for a while. Thirdly, with this excuse, it would be easier to get the money he deserved after the New Year.

"Okay, then I'll tell Mr. Li tomorrow."

Yang Yuying nodded. She had no idea what her boyfriend was thinking.

Wouldn’t it be better to sign with your own company?

The car soon arrived at the gate of Chengyu Garment Factory in Panyu.

The street was still the same street, and the factory was still the same factory, but this time, as soon as Cao Jian's car drove to the door, he saw Boss Li and a group of employees waiting at the door.

There were even quite a few people watching the fun from a distance.

If you don’t know, you might think that some leader came to inspect.

"clap clap"

As soon as the car stopped, Mr. Li, the boss of the garment factory, came to greet us with a big smile amid applause.

Cao Jian had made an appointment with the factory yesterday, but he didn't expect today's welcome ceremony to be so grand.

The scene was like when we were in elementary school, when everyone held up little red flowers and shouted "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome" while waiting for the leader to come and inspect.

"The big star is here!"

As soon as Cao Jian got off the car, Boss Li shook hands enthusiastically, leaving Yang Yuying aside.

The last time Cao Jian came, he wondered why Yang Yuying found such a superficial boyfriend.

But no one would have expected that Cao Jian was the real protagonist, and the beautiful girl was just a foil.

After all this time, it turned out that the clown was actually himself.

Moreover, he drives such a good car, better than his own.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "Boss Li, I'm just a singer, not a star."

"Why isn't he a celebrity? Our whole family loves your song 'Walk Away with Style.' I bought a tape of yours and found out that the person who came to our factory last time was actually a celebrity."

Being able to work with celebrities makes me proud to tell others about it.

Cao Jian was a little embarrassed by this enthusiasm. He glanced at the excited female workers around him and said, "Let's go in and talk."

"Please come in quickly."

Boss Li was just about to let Cao Jian into the office building when he remembered Yang Yuying: "Miss Yang, you too."

Although she was ignored, Yang Yuying was not angry. After all, he was her boyfriend, and she would be proud of his success.

Boss Li was accompanying Cao Jian, and this time he was thinking, how come he, a star, found a clothes seller as his girlfriend?
But he was too embarrassed to ask.

When he arrived at the office, he praised Cao Jian's songs for a while before getting down to business.

"Miss Yang, what do you think of the clothes you wore last time?"

"That's great. We're here to pay the deposit, but the mass-produced clothes must be of the same quality as the samples."

As Yang Yuying spoke, she took out six stacks of hundred-yuan bills from her bag. These were the leftovers from buying the car.

Boss Li said politely, "It's our honor to work with Mr. Cao. The deposit and other things don't matter. In fact, you can just call and tell us. You don't even need to make a special trip here."

Regardless of whether the other party was being polite or telling the truth, Cao Jian felt that Boss Li was a good person since he said that.

It seems that becoming a celebrity has many benefits.

After paying the deposit, Cao Jian and Yang Yuying picked out some women's clothing available in the factory and sold them in the store together.

Clothing factories would naturally be happy to collaborate with celebrities.

Originally, Cao Jian didn't want to stay for dinner, but Boss Li was too enthusiastic, so he had to reluctantly have a meal with him before saying goodbye and returning to Guangzhou.

The next morning, Cao Jian drove his car and arrived at the company with his girlfriend when the security guard said, "Xiao Cao, someone is looking for you."

As he said this, he pointed to a middle-aged man in a suit at the company's gate.

In the 1990s, wearing a suit was not the way to sell insurance.

"Oh, that's trouble."

Cao Jian parked the car, handed a cigarette to the guard, and then said to Yang Yuying, "You go up first, I'll go take a look."

"Well, be careful."

Yang Yuying found that the person who came did not look like a bad person, so she went upstairs with peace of mind.

Cao Jian walked out of the door. The middle-aged man outside also noticed him and hurried over. He also took out a business card: "Mr. Cao, Leihao, my name is Fang Zhengjie, and I am the assistant to Mr. Zheng of PolyGram in Hong Kong. This is my business card."

"PolyGram?"

When Cao Jian heard the name of this famous record company, he was stunned at first, and then he felt delighted.

It seems that the opportunity to develop in Hong Kong has come——
(It still exists today.)
