Huayu 1995

Chapter 184 Bah! A gigolo! (Bonus chapter 13 for Alliance Leader AgNo3)

After a family meeting, they tentatively agreed to Gao Yuanyuan's decision to shoot the advertisement.

However, if a contract is to be signed, family members will definitely have to accompany the person signing it.

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan is only sixteen years old and cannot sign a contract without the signature of her guardian.

Su Chao is another player who is under the same age.

Su Chao's training company's legal representative is Lü Bu, and his advertising company's legal representative is Yan Siyuan.

Anyway, it doesn't affect his control of the company.

Gao Yuanyuan returned to her room and took out two cassette tapes.

One box was signed, and the other was not.

She lay on the bed, staring blankly at Su Chao on the cassette tape cover for a long time, before finally bringing her moist red lips to kiss him.

Realizing belatedly what she had done, she rolled around on the bed several times in embarrassment.

However, not long after, she brought the tape to her lips again.

It took her quite a while to open the unsigned cassette tape.

They tore down the posters of Dou Wei and Leon Lai, and solemnly pasted Su Chao's poster on the wall.

From now on, I will only love you!

Su Chao doesn't care whether she loves him or not; his posters have probably been plastered on the walls by many girls these past few days.

Even if you do something indescribable in front of his poster, he can't stop you.

He happily put on the Rolex that Thor had given him.

Between making money and finding a partner, he chose the money from finding a partner.

As for Lü Bu and the others, they naturally mocked Su Chao.

Pah! You're a gigolo! We all look down on you!
It's just a new watch, why are you so angry?

Moreover, a watch isn't something you can wear all the time; different styles of clothing require different types of watches.

Su Chao, wearing a Rolex, met with Zhao Xiaoding.

It's a way of showing off our wealth.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaoding didn't know anything about Rolex.

Throw a wink at a blind man.

Zhao Xiaoding had previously believed that Lu Bu was a powerful figure, but after hearing Lu Bu say that he had a great older brother, he was still somewhat skeptical.

No boss is as good as you imagine; after all, imagination isn't that great either.

After meeting Su Chao... he was still half-believing and half-doubting.

Because he didn't know Su Chao either.

This is why new singers don't develop so quickly. Even if you have a good song, without a few months of incubation, it's hard for you to become a household name.

As for advertisements, if you're not a celebrity, who would care who filmed the ad?

"I am the creative director of Yuanmeng Advertising Company. I would like to invite Mr. Zhao to work as a photographer in our company. The base salary is 800 yuan, and then he will be paid a commission based on the number of orders each month."

Without saying a word, Su Chao immediately went up the intensity.

"Eight hundred?"

Zhao Xiaoding works at a photo printing factory. Because he has only been there for a few years and his seniority is too low, his salary is only a little over two hundred yuan.

Fortunately, it's stable.

Yes, stable poverty.

I suspect the factory leaders have a fear of heights, which is why they pay such low wages!

That's why he secretly took on side jobs outside.

Even among the experienced workers in their factory, none of them could earn eight hundred.

However, Zhao Xiaoding had never considered giving up his secure job at the photo printing factory before going to the appointment.

Originally, he was just giving Lü Bu face and taking the opportunity to get a free meal—he hadn't had much oil in his stomach lately.

He told himself beforehand that he would not accept any temptation except for beauty.

I never expected to encounter someone throwing money at me.

And they gave so much.

"800 is just the base salary; there's a commission for every order."

Su Chao is not a stingy boss.

Lu Bu and others are already earning over a thousand. For a skilled profession like a photographer, it would be incredibly greedy not to let them earn a thousand.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoding can be more than just an advertising photographer; he can also work on music videos and even future films.

If Zhang Yimou is capable, why can't he be used?

"How strong is your company? Do you ever have a shortage of orders?"

Zhao Xiaoding left the photo printing factory, naturally dissatisfied with the base salary of 800 yuan.

"We currently have four advertisements to shoot, all of which are worth over 200,000 yuan. Taking 1% shouldn't be a problem."

This 200,000 definitely excludes advertising fees.

Only foreign companies like Herbal Essences might spend 700,000 to 800,000 yuan to produce an advertisement; state-owned enterprises typically have budgets between 150,000 and 300,000 yuan.

Occasionally, if the cost exceeds 300,000 or even reaches 400,000 or 500,000, then a famous movie star will definitely be invited.

Inviting celebrities is going to have no bottom line.

If we invite big names from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the celebrities alone would cost over a million.

Small businesses will have fewer ads, but they also won't advertise on CCTV.

Aside from Herbal Essences, most of the companies that Yuanmeng Advertising Company has been in contact with so far are state-owned enterprises.

It was through the relationship between Sister Hong and Yan Siyuan.

Once Herbal Essences airs and gains popularity, more foreign companies will be drawn to it. "Let's do it! Boss, when do we start?"

Four ads, 1% would be eight thousand yuan!

Zhao Xiaoding accepted the imperial pardon without hesitation.

It's just that it will take him some time to resign.

These days, state-owned enterprise reforms encourage employees to take unpaid leave to start their own businesses.

By paying a management fee, workers can retain their status and enjoy basic employee benefits, excluding bonuses.

When you reach retirement age, you can go back to your original work unit to complete the retirement procedures.

Zhang Yongxin didn't escape either.

Su Chao asked Duan Yihong to put in a good word for him, and he became an intern at Yuanmeng Advertising Company while still a junior in college.

Meanwhile, Sister Hong said that an office space had been found.

Tell him to go and take a look when he has time.

Everything went so smoothly that Su Chao finally felt a sense of pride, like a chosen one.

It's definitely different when everyone else is reborn, but I am.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huajian, far away in Taiwan, also fell into Su Chao's trap, just as Su Chao had predicted.

Wakin Chau joined Rock Records in 86 and established his status in the music industry in 91 with the song "Let Me Be Happy, Let Me Be Sad".

She is now among the top singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He was even called the "Killer of the Four Heavenly Kings".

Anyone who compares themselves to him will be outmatched.

Of course, the very fact that the Four Heavenly Kings are mentioned indicates that the concept of the Four Heavenly Kings has taken root in people's minds.

"Hey bro, have you heard this album?"

Lee Tsung-sheng's visit made Wakin Chau very happy, but he didn't expect that Lee would release an album as soon as he arrived.

"Brother, are you here to sell something?"

Wakin Chau once joked that he sang because he "lived off his wife," and even said that he was a singer who was picked up at a mahjong table.

She was living off Jonathan Lee's money, of course.

The person who picked him up was also Jonathan Lee.

Jonathan Lee introduced him to Rock Records, and personally wrote the lyrics and music for his albums.

"Look!"

Jonathan Lee handed the cassette tape to Emil Chau.

Wakin Chau took a look and immediately laughed, "I bought this one too. This singer writes his own lyrics and composes his own music, which is quite impressive. Moreover, he also put a song on Andy Lau's channel, saying that he welcomes singers to challenge him, and he will sell it to whoever can sing it."

"Oh, is that so? Who went to take on the challenge?"

Li Zongsheng really didn't know.

He has recently been in seclusion. In January of last year, he held three "We All Love Jonathan Lee" farewell concerts, marking the first phase of his temporary departure from the music scene. In February, he held "Jonathan Lee's Ten-Year Retrospective" farewell concerts, marking the second phase of his temporary departure from the music scene. In June, he released his solo music album "Reluctant to Part," thus announcing his farewell to the music industry.

A lack of inspiration, depression, and emotional torment were among the reasons for his retirement.

But even though he's retired, he'll still buy his albums.

When I went to the music store yesterday, they happened to be playing the song "Over the Hills".

The music immediately captivated him.

Although the other songs on the cassette tape didn't affect him as much, even someone as proud as him had to admit that it was an album of extremely high quality.

So he bought it to share with his brother.

"I don't know, but even if they go, it won't be made public."

Is he going to publicly declare that he can't sing?

Anyway, apart from Andy Lau admitting that he can't sing it, I haven't heard of anyone else specifically saying that.

Moreover, saying that you can't sing it is just one way of putting it.

No matter how difficult a song is, as long as it is created for people to sing, it is not impossible to sing it.

At most, it just takes more time to practice and more technical skills when recording. Eventually, you'll be able to record it successfully.

It seems like there's more hype involved.

"Why don't you go and give it a try? It would be a perfect opportunity to slap the Four Heavenly Kings in the face."

Li Zongsheng chuckled.

"Why bother? The Four Heavenly Kings didn't even advertise that their singing skills were divine, and their sales and influence are indeed higher than mine..."

Wakin Chau quickly shook his head.

"Perhaps the song suits you well. Let's get in touch; maybe we'll have a chance to collaborate again next time."

Jonathan Lee has great confidence in his brother's singing ability.

Wakin Chau has a long, drawn-out breath. There may be songs that don't suit him, but there are very few songs that he can't handle.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, or I really won't be able to hold back."

Wakin Chau rubbed his face with a wry smile.

"You can endure it today, but can you endure it tomorrow? You're already itching to act, aren't you?"

Li Zongsheng laughed heartily.

"Fuck, you're a devil!"

Wakin Chau had been itching to hear it for a long time; he was very curious about what kind of song it was.

I'm just worried about being seen as someone trying to challenge me, which is why I'm hesitant to go.

But as Jonathan Lee said, he can endure it today, but he might not be able to tomorrow.
