Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Chapter 76: A Collaboration with "Weiwei"

"Good morning, everyone. It's an honor to see you all. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the launch of Tangren Media's key annual project, 'Love O2O'."

Cai Yinong sat in the main seat with a smile on her face. After a simple opening, the PPT behind her changed.

"As a key drama series produced by Tangren Media this year, 'Love O2O' is positioned as a youth urban idol drama."

"The target audience is very clear: the young internet generation."

"The total investment for this drama is tentatively set at 3000 million yuan, and most of the funds have already been secured."

"The project has progressed so smoothly thanks not only to the efficient preparation of our team, but also to the strong support of several key partners."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the row of sponsors.

Sohu Changyou, Armani Exchange, Sony Huaxia, Lenovo, and L'Oréal's skincare brand Carni.

There are five sponsors in total.

Among them, Sohu had the highest placement fee.

The cost of product placement for a single brand can reach as high as 300 million.

Then, Armani Exchange is Shen Yan's line, while AX is Armani's sub-line, specializing in young fast fashion.

The price is relatively low.

However, Armani's product placement fee was low, only 100 million, but they would provide all the costumes for the male and female leads, as well as a stylist consultant.

Sony's involvement is also somewhat related to Shen Yan. Without Shen Yan endorsing the W20, Tangren would have had no way of finding a way to negotiate product placement with them.

A company that started with period dramas has no business resources whatsoever.

This time, Sony Huaxia invested 150 million.

The remaining Carni skincare products and Lenovo Y-series laptops are resources owned by Tangren itself.

The former is preparing to hire Liu Shishi as its spokesperson, while the latter was introduced by Cai Yinong's boyfriend, Wang Yi.

Lenovo is a big spender, but the product placement fee was not much, only 200 million.

Carney is even lower, at 100 million.

Sohu paid 300 million, Lenovo paid 200 million, Sony paid 150 million, Armani and Carni each paid 100 million, totaling 850 million for product placement.

In the film and television industry, this level of product placement would only be considered passable.

however.

For Cai Yinong, that's enough.

Moreover, in order to attract so many sponsors, she not only persuaded Tang Yan to make a cameo appearance as the campus belle of Qingda University, "Meng Yiran," but also had Hu Ge make a cameo appearance as Zhen Shaoxiang.

That is, Bei Weiwei's ex-husband [Zhenshui Wuxiang] in the game.

Casting her own top star as the villain who gets humiliated is something only Cai Yinong in the entertainment industry would do.

At last.

She also had Gu Man revise the script, adding a new PK leaderboard expert, second only to "Yi Xiao Nai He" as the second-best player in the entire server, "Shushan Swordsman".

That role only had a few scenes, and the cameo actor was Fok Kim-wah.

Cai Yinong spent so much effort just for the gimmick of a reunion of the cast of "Chinese Paladin 3".

After all, "Chinese Paladin 3" is currently very popular.

She went to great lengths to attract investment and sell her dramas.

If her relationship with Yang Mi hadn't become so strained, she would have even wanted Yang Mi to make a cameo appearance.

In fact, Cai Yinong had thought about it.

After much deliberation, she gave up on the idea.

Because of an endorsement dispute, Hu Ge and Yang Mi had a falling out and even broke up. Inviting Yang Mi now would be like rubbing salt into Hu Ge's wounds.

Yes.

They talked.

We broke up at the beginning of the year.

Yang Mi felt that Hu Ge had gone too far; his girlfriend was being bullied, and he hadn't even stood up for her.

As for Hu Ge, he was caught in a dilemma.

On one side was Cai Yinong, who was willing to suffer losses to halt the filming and wait for his recovery, and who had shown him great kindness; on the other side was his girlfriend.

What can he do?

Neutral is the only option.

But, in a woman's eyes, neutrality is wrong.

The launch meeting lasted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., during which Lin Yufen also gave a presentation on the preparations.

but.

The invitation list has been finalized.

Tang Yixin was surprisingly on the list of invitees for the second female lead role. And, to make matters worse, there was another person on the list as well.

Pan Zhilin was also there.

She's not the second female lead, but the fourth female lead, the female lead's best friend, "Sisi".

Fortunately, there were only these two people.

The remaining actresses to be invited have nothing to do with Shen Yan, otherwise, he would really be exercising his privileges as the male lead.

What privilege?

Domineering actor!

Damn it!

He provided the script, and his endorsements with Armani and Sony are related to him. If he wants to be a tyrant on set, what's wrong with that?

At 8:30 p.m., after having dinner with the sponsors, Shen Yan took a car to the "Le Wang" recording studio.

He needs to hurry up and finish the album and EDM production.

Especially the album demo.

Although Gold Typhoon doesn't restrict his creative output, a planning meeting still needs to be held before the album's release, scheduled for the end of the month.

He has to deliver the goods.

March is already more than halfway over.

Time is tight and the task is heavy; we must do our utmost!

For the next two days, Shen Yan hardly went to the company. Every day, he would go to the recording studio as soon as he woke up and return to his apartment in the early hours of the morning.

woman?

No!

I sleep vegetarian food every day.

……

3 month 25 number.

"Brother Yan, are your classmates really that amazing?"

That morning, Zhang Dandan pointed to Tianya Forum on the computer screen.

Shen Yan turned his head and glanced at it.

Wow.

[Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu willingly played supporting roles, ousting Kim Hee-sun from the spotlight: Let's talk about the woman behind "The Warring States"]

Da Tian Tian is trending on Tianya.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

Shen Yan glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to eat the savory pancake in his hand.

A week ago, after the female lead was announced at the press conference for "The Warring States", Jing Tian came into the public eye.

The female lead in a blockbuster film with an investment of over 100 million.

Kim Hee-sun was cast as a supporting actress, and the male lead was Sun Honglei.

How popular is Sun Honglei right now?

In the middle of the day!

The TV series "Lurking" propelled him to the ranks of top male actors in mainland China. His Weibo followers are ranked number one, partly due to his own efforts in managing his fan base, but mostly due to this series.

"She must have connections, right?" Zhang Dandan couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"Nonsense, could you even act without connections?"

Shen Yan looked at his assistant with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Who has connections?"

Just then, Sister Xia's voice came from the doorway.

"Good morning, Sister Shishi."

Zhang Dandan took the initiative to invite her, and these past two days, Liu Shishi has been going to the recording studio every day.

Tsk tsk.

Couldn't she see what Liu Shishi was thinking?

Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone!

Yan Ge is still too charming; he attracts women wherever he goes.

Good morning.
