Chapter 24: Movie Invitations

After Chen Feng stayed at Cai Shuqing's house for two hours, he went out to go back to the Four Seasons Hotel alone because he had an appointment with the legendary Giorgio Armani at noon, and everyone planned to wait for Chen Feng to go to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha together.

In the car, Chen Feng received a call from Cao Yunfang again, saying that Motorola had agreed to Chen Feng's offer, but Cao Yunfang had already called Chen Feng before, saying that it was Mr. Romei, the vice president of Nokia, who planned to fly from the United States to Hong Kong early tomorrow morning to discuss cooperation with him. Motorola was apparently overtaken by Nokia in this battle for Long's endorsement advertising.

However, before Chen Feng officially signed an endorsement contract with Nokia, of course, he would not refuse to cooperate with Motorola, but just asked Cao Yunfang to reply that he would think about it.

When Chen Feng's car returned to the Four Seasons Hotel, he received a call from Cao Yunfang, saying that it was a call from Japan's Toyota Motor Group, and they were also here to seek cooperation.

Chen Feng knew from the memory number jΓΉ library that Japan's Toyota began to invade the Chinese market in recent years, and through a series of public relations, cooperation and large-scale advertising, as well as their own quality and quality, they soon opened up the Chinese market, and in the following years, Japanese cars, especially Toyota cars, have an increasing share of the Chinese automobile market. This cannot but be said to be the sorrow of the Chinese people!

This time, Toyota's price is obviously very sincere, but Chen Feng is also very resistant to this, and directly refused: "Sue them, unless they open the price to 600 billion US dollars, I will consider being their brand endorsement." ”

Cao Yunfang was also a little resistant to this Japanese car advertisement, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Chen Feng's words, but as an agent, out of protection for Chen Feng, of course she would not convey Chen Feng's original words to Toyota in Japan.

After returning to the hotel, Cao Yunfang relayed to Chen Feng that Unicom, a company in the domestic communications industry, also likes to ask Chen Feng to be their spokesperson, and the endorsement fee is 20 million yuan for about three years. At first, Chen Feng thought that he had misheard, but after Cao Yunfang repeated it, Chen Feng finally believed that he had heard correctly, it was 20 million yuan, and he also asked to sign a contract for three years. Depending on what the other party means, this price is already very high, and there is no room for further improvement.

For all the domestic communication companies, I believe that there are not many people in China who will have a good impression of their monopolies, Chen Feng is the same, like most Chinese people, there was a personal experience of being deducted for no reason, until he found out that he didn't know when to add a mobile phone value-added service, it took a lot of twists and turns to stop the report, but the money loss in the early stage can not be recovered, each mobile phone user lost a few or even dozens of dollars of money, there are hundreds of millions of users in the country, then this money number is big. The first is telecommunications, the second is Unicom, and the third is a few years later, the domestic complaints are moving, these three communication companies can be said to be the same dog, I don't know how much money has been taken from the Chinese people? Originally, it was nothing for them to ask themselves to endorse, but they dared to quote such a low price, which was really enough for them to think of, and I don't know if the leaders of their Unicom company were funny, because as long as they were a person of normal intelligence, they would not offer such a price to Long, which was simply an insult to Long or Chen Feng.

Cao Yunfang was also surprised when she heard Unicom's offer, and after a while, she wanted to refuse, but considering that the other party was a large company in the mainland, she decided to inform Chen Feng of the matter.

"Just tell them: let them eat!" Chen Feng said very angrily.

Cao Yunfang was stunned for a moment, and then after a snort, she laughed: "Chen Feng, you are really straightforward enough. At first, I thought that after you knew that the other party was a large domestic company, I would have concerns. Now I can rest assured, but if you really want me to tell them this, you will offend them severely. If you don't do it, they will instead make news that you are not patriotic, worship foreigners, and do not endorse domestic brands. ”

Chen Feng thought that if he really said this to them, they might really be able to do such a thing, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you to organize it." Anyway, I don't agree to endorse them. ”

Looking at Chen Feng, who was somewhat childish, Cao Yunfang nodded with a smile.

At this time, Adams was beaten up when he heard the news, and reported to Chen Feng: "Long, I have just received a reply from Miss Karina, President of Huateng Group, that she has agreed to the establishment of a branch of our Jupiter Records in Hong Kong, and authorized me to set up a fund of 200 million US dollars. ”

Chen Feng smiled: "Then congratulations, your record empire has expanded a lot." In fact, on the way to Cai Shuqing's house before, Chen Feng called Karina, who had just returned to work after the funeral, and informed her. So, as soon as Adams applied, he agreed.

"It should be Tongxi, you are also a member of our Jupiter Company. It just so happens that we will have a banquet for Mr. Armani later, and it will be a celebration. Adams said excitedly. It can be seen that he is very concerned about agreeing to his establishment of a branch in Hong Kong at the group headquarters, and probably feels that it has been reused.

"Oh, by the way, long, not long ago, Mr. Rofitter, the president of PepsiCo, called me again, and he will send his vice president, Mr. Eddie Lanadson, to Hong Kong to discuss the details of the cooperation with you. ”

Chen Feng nodded in understanding. Cao Yunfang glared at Adams very dissatisfied, and said: "Coca-Cola also called me before, but their offer and conditions are much worse than Pepsi, and they are only willing to pay $30 million to sign a three-year contract with you, and they only offer 5% of the portrait rights commission, which is much worse than Pepsi." ”

"Well, since Coca-Cola doesn't have much sincerity, let's ignore it for the time being, this time we will cooperate directly with PepsiCo, as long as they are willing to change the contract period to three years, I can only ask them for 30 million US dollars in endorsement fees, but the commission for portrait rights will be increased to 20%. That's my bottom line, and when it's time to negotiate, you'd better have a number in mind. ”

Cao Yunfang immediately took out an electronic notebook and wrote down Chen Feng's psychological price.

"Long, it seems that I'm going to be in Hong Kong for at least a month or two this time, how long are you going to stay?" asked Adams.

"I can't say for sure, but it's going to take a week. Chen Feng replied casually.

"Alas, it's a pity, I'm going to start working on the establishment of a branch in Hong Kong in the afternoon, or I'll have a good time with you in Hong Kong. Adams said with some regret.

"There will be a chance in the future. Chen Feng said with a smile, "Also, there is no need to rush the matter of the Hong Kong branch, you can take the time to let your family come to Hong Kong." Originally, you agreed to bring Emily this time. ”

"I wanted to too, but Barbara was very airsick, and she was afraid of heights, and her heart was not very good, so she didn't come, and Suzanne wanted to come, and at that time, Emily had to go to school, so she couldn't come. Adams explained.

Chen Feng was relieved and said regretfully: "That's a pity, we originally wanted to get together with them in Hong Kong this time." ”

Adams smiled: "There will be a chance, after Emily's vacation, I will bring her to Hong Kong, have a good time, speaking of which, Hong Kong is really a very good place, compared to Los Angeles, it is much better, I want to immigrate to Hong Kong." ”

"On behalf of the people of Hong Kong, I welcome you!" Chen Feng said in a serious manner.

Adams couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Yunfang, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile when she saw Adams and Chen Fengyan, and couldn't help but be very envious.

The three of them together, in the presidential suite, chatting while talking, during which Adams and Cao Yunfang received several phone calls, all of which came to inquire about cooperation with Long, in addition to advertisers, there are actually several internationally renowned film companies, saying that as long as Long agreed, they immediately organized all the human resources at hand and began to tailor a script for Long, and invested at least 100 million US dollars for shooting, and even gave Chen Feng a salary of 70 million US dollars, of which Paramount Company even offered a 15% box office dividend, which can be described as a big bet。

Although Chen Feng had thought about it before making a movie, he didn't plan it well, at least for now, he has little confidence in his acting skills, and the premise of making a movie must always have a stage of preparation.

"Long, it seems that you are really a gold absorber! Now everyone is staring at you, trying to make a lot of money on you, all of them are betting heavily at the expense of blood. 15% box office dividends, hundreds of millions of dollars of capital investment, and $70 million in salary, even if it is a first-class Hollywood star, such conditions are unthinkable to them. Adams sighed with a full face, "Seriously, long, with your handsome appearance and sunny and charming temperament, you are really suitable for a career in show business, and I have the same attitude as these studios." ”

"Well, I think so too. Cao Yunfang nodded in agreement, "Chen Feng's appearance is really good, since he sings so well, it would be a pity if he didn't develop in film and television." ”

Chen Feng said frankly: "I have thought about developing in film and television, but I don't know anything about acting now, at least after I have an understanding of film and acting, I am trying to develop in this direction." ”

Cao Yunfang said enthusiastically: "Then why don't I invite someone to give you special training and talk about some skills and knowledge in acting?"

"Not yet. Chen Feng refused, "I plan to wait until next year, just after my second album comes out, and then think about making movies." ”

"Oh well. If you need it, I'm always ready to contact someone to answer your questions. Cao Yunfang said.

At this time, Adams's mobile phone rang, and after answering, he said to Chen Feng: "Mr. Armani is already on his way to the Four Seasons Hotel, let's wait at the restaurant in the afternoon." ”

Chen Feng nodded, so the three of them walked out of the presidential suite together and came to the restaurant box on the second floor specially prepared for them by the hotel.

Ten minutes later, Giorgio Armani, the fashion leader and Italian legend, officially stepped into the box. I saw that he was wearing a very simple printed checked dress top, a white shirt, but it showed a gorgeous texture, and he looked much younger than his actual age, he should be 67 years old this year, but he looked like he was only 50 years old.

Chen Feng's legendary life naturally appears in the number of jΓΉ libraries in his mind: "Giorgio Armani was born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, 40 miles southwest of Milan, where his father ran a shipping company and was in charge of shipping, and George was the eldest of three children. His grandfather, who ran a wig shop, made 10th-century wigs for local theaters. As a child, George was often taken backstage to the theater, fascinated by the scenery on stage. It was around that time that the seeds of art quietly began to sprout in George's heart. At the insistence of his parents, Giorgio Armani was sent to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Milan, where he was drafted as an assistant medic three years later, when the flames of the World War shattered the tranquility and changed the course of Armani's life. After being discharged from the army, by chance, he worked in a department store, and soon after, he was transferred to the fashion department of the store, where he began to get into fashion and fashion. During his seven years in the fashion department, he immersed himself in the study of fabrics and garment production processes, learning how to choose fabrics, modify details, mix colors and grasp the changing patterns of fashion. Opportunities are for those who are prepared, and when the Italian textile king, Nino Ceretti, was in dire need of a fashion design assistant, the store manager recommended him. When Armani picked out Ceretti's favourite fabrics from a large pile of fabrics, he was hired as a menswear designer by Ceretti, and eight years later, he set up his own fashion design studio and began his own independent fashion design career, a room of less than 14 square meters, which was furnished with Armani buying from selling his beloved Beetle. Giorgio Armani had no idea that he would one day become the most successful and wealthy designer in the world. But often the legend is created by a very fortuitous chance. ”
