Chapter 93: What is the price of championship?
"Hey, keep your hands steady, don't let the light stray away. If your hands shake right now, Brother Lou will definitely punish you later!"
"Okay, okay. So, will they kiss each other later?"
Good question!
Old Zhou was interested and stared downstairs. He felt that with this atmosphere, this scene, and this lighting, it would be unreasonable not to kiss them.
According to the plot of the TV series, the male and female protagonists should kiss each other after this scene.
This scene is so beautiful just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, under their expectant gazes as they "chased the drama", after the dance, Zhang Xiaorong just smiled and waved towards the people upstairs.
It seemed like he was thanking them.
Then she followed Bai Youlou.
Only when the two men disappeared from the upstairs' field of vision did Long Ziqiang and Lao Zhou turn off the high-intensity flashlight.
disappointment.
No kiss!
"Yeah, Teacher Zhang is not that kind of character," Long Ziqiang concluded, smacking his lips.
Lao Zhou immediately raised an objection: "Don't you know how wild Brother Lou is? The main thing is that the two of us are upstairs with the lights on. Who knows, they might kiss when they turn the corner. How can you watch the live broadcast?"
“So it feels a little off.”
After they finished talking, they looked at each other inadvertently.
No words were spoken, everything was implied.
Then two seconds later, ugh~
"Brother Zhou, ugh! Old Zhou is indeed a fellow brother, what Brother Lou said is right!"
"Fuck you, why are you looking at me with such affection? It makes me sick!"
"."
The good-looking people act in idol dramas, while the ugly ones curse each other upstairs.
Such a real world~
After Bai Youlou brought Zhang Xiaorong back to the room, the two were still cursing at each other, accusing each other of being Nan Tong and seemingly wanting Bai Youlou to judge the matter.
First, never act on impulse; second, never miss any bad thing; third, always judge fairly and beautifully.
It’s a pity that Bai Youlou has no interest in being the captain of the Dragonfly Team.
He treats everyone equally.
He immediately distanced himself from the two of them and sat down next to Zhang Xiaorong.
"Come on, you two are both like Nan Tong to me, stay away from me when you turn around."
These words were really hurtful, but when they saw Bai Youlou moving his butt towards Zhang Xiaorong, neither Lao Zhou nor Long Ziqiang said anything stubbornly.
Code, so they are still part of the play?
"Hey, how about we talk about something serious?" Lao Zhou suggested.
"Yes, yes, let's have a meeting." Long Ziqiang agreed, and quickly skipped the "Nantong" party.
"You are the champion, I'll listen to you~" Bai Youlou said indifferently.
At the same time, he turned to look at Zhang Xiaorong. At this time, she had regained her previous quiet and proper self. She sat there with a smile on her face, and nodded in cooperation with Bai Youlou.
But Bai Youlou's legs were about to touch hers, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, she didn't move away.
Lao Zhou flipped through his little notebook and said, "First of all, the money from the sale of copyrights has basically arrived."
"Divide the money!" Bai Youlou said firmly.
Finally, I can spend some good money!
"Brother Lou, just divide the money for Teacher Zhang and Aqiang. If you need the bulk of the money, just go to the company's account. Don't divide it all, or you'll lose a lot."
"Use the company's account?"
"Yes, we are a film and television company. If you want to buy something weird, it's just a movie prop."
Regardless of whether it is the sale of copyrights or the subsequent movie box office revenue, etc., the money will not be directly transferred to Bai Youlou’s bank card account, but to the company account.
You can also distribute the dividends directly, but there will be a 20% personal income tax.
If you use the company's account, for example, if you buy a luxury car in the name of the company, then naturally there will be no tax, and you can even deduct the tax.
Anyway, Bai Youlou drives the car himself and the company also belongs to Bai Youlou.
Besides, there is really no need for their tiny company to make things too complicated at the moment.
In addition to Bai Youlou, Lao Zhou also talked in detail with the two "artists" Long Ziqiang and Zhang Xiaorong about future plans.
Well, I don’t have any detailed plans for now.
These two are currently popular.
However, for most artists who come out of talent shows, the most popular time in their careers is basically when the show is broadcast.
Many talent shows are like this, even the big hits.
During the show, the artists’ attention and traffic can even exceed that of the first-tier celebrities in the circle, but as soon as the show ends, their true colors are immediately revealed.
The championship won by Long Ziqiang is more of an encouragement award.
Instead, he really soared into the sky.
The traffic of "The Voice of China" this year is particularly high, mainly because of Bai Youlou.
Without him, this would just be an ordinary talent show.
A week after the show is over, most of the audience may not remember the champion’s name.
Fortunately, Long Ziqiang himself is not the type who likes to dream. After Lao Zhou analyzed the situation for a few sentences for him, he immediately nodded to show that he understood.
"Brother Lou has already said that life is not like writing a novel. Young people should take their time to walk their path~"
Hearing this flattering remark, Bai Youlou curled his lips and said, "You are still a teenager. Don't be shameless."
“Ahem~” So, what is the price of being a champion?
Long Ziqiang now feels that his conspicuous bald head has become a target of ridicule.
"You and Teacher Zhang will have to cooperate with the advertising sponsor of the program group and shoot two sets of commercials. This way, our debt with The Voice of China will basically be settled. However, the advertising fee they give is not much, and the share you get is even less. Don't mind it."
Lao Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "Aqiang, do you have any requirements for the announcement?"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"I just go to the bar and sing a few songs."
"bar?!"
"Yeah, what do you think? The most likely commercial performances for you now are in large bars."
Long Ziqiang was a little confused. Before he started hanging out with Bai Youlou, he was singing in a bar.
Now that you're doing well in your career, why do you still want to go to bars to sing?
Are you back to your old ways again?
Seeing the confusion on his face, Lao Zhou chuckled, "One trip, they give you 200,000, plus the company's share plus taxes, you will have a little over 100,000 in your hands."
"Go! I'm born to be a bar singer! Brother Zhou, I'm cut out for this job! I can make any place a place have a blast!"
it is good!
energetic!
However, after expressing his ambitions in a dignified manner, Long Ziqiang also asked curiously: "Where is Teacher Zhang?"
"She is not as good as you." Lao Zhou said vaguely.
"Brother Zhou, just tell me straight, how can I be jealous of Teacher Zhang?"
"There are only two or three endorsements, and some are commercial performances such as ribbon-cutting at shopping malls."
Lao Zhou's words were very subtle, but Long Ziqiang still realized the gap between people.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lao Zhou added, "But I turned down most of them because she still had to go back to school and didn't have that much time for commercial performances. Teacher Zhang doesn't have as much desire to make money as you do."
Damn it, the damage is even greater.
Teacher Zhang even looked down on me.
"Didn't you ask me to be your spokesperson?" Long Ziqiang finally struggled and said.
"Yes. There is a game that wants you to be the spokesperson."
He was shocked. "What game?! A large-scale online game? Do you want to sing the theme song?"
"I'll search for you on the computer."
Two minutes later, listening to the slogan "One knife for 999" and the exaggerated page design style on the computer, Long Ziqiang became desperate.
Blanch!
This time even Zhang Xiaorong couldn't stand it anymore, because the endorsements she was asked to be a spokesperson for were all cosmetics, shampoos and the like. They shouldn't be that different, right?
"Is there something wrong?"
Teacher Zhang is a beautiful and kind person!
However, Lao Zhou ruthlessly denied this, "It's simply because of his appearance."
To kill someone is to kill one's heart.
Long Ziqiang gave up on himself and said, "Where's Brother Lou? He must have come to see him too, right? Let me see what a superstar is, and give me some motivation to strive for success!"
As a result, Lao Zhou spread his hands.
"Ah? No? That's impossible."
"That's not what I meant. Wait a minute."
Lao Zhou took out a few folded A4 papers from his bag and unfolded them, revealing densely written words.
"There are too many. I can't remember them all. I wrote them all down."
Give the “little newbies” who have just entered the entertainment industry a little shock from the top stars!
To be honest, not to mention Long Ziqiang, even Lao Zhou himself was shocked before.
Ever since those two videos cleared Bai Youlou's name, and after that interview, he hasn't done anything else in the past few days. After arriving in Hangzhou, he stayed in the hotel answering calls and receiving text messages.
A lot of invitations for cooperation.
From brand endorsements to variety show invitations, it's so busy.
This is the earning power of top stars!
If it were before, Lao Zhou would probably have carefully selected and picked out some high-quality notices for Bai Youlou.
But for now, he hasn't answered the call yet.
"It's so scary. How much money can I make if I take all of them?" Long Ziqiang said with his eyes wide open.
"It's definitely a small goal that has been exceeded, but if we really accept all of them, our brother Lou's schedule may not be completed until next year."
"pick up!"
Although this money was not earned by Long Ziqiang, he was so excited when he heard the amount that he almost had shaking.
"Loose Brother Lou is no longer an idol showing off his sex appeal. Is he that cheap?"
As soon as he said the word "showing off", Lao Zhou felt a chill on his neck and felt a little regretful.
But Long Ziqiang's mind was full of "100 million, 100 million, I can't spend it all in my lifetime!"
So all I heard was “You can make more!”
"More?!"
"You bastard, his identity is different now, he can't just accept it blindly, if it gets out people will laugh at him and lose his dignity."
Long Ziqiang said he didn't understand what was going on, but he felt that Bai Youlou probably wouldn't care about it.
as predicted.
"Use hunger marketing to make them raise prices." Bai Youlou concluded.
Lao Zhou was confused. "What if the highest bidder is for a chicken steak? You are an artist now. This is like adding a boiled egg to pasta. Is it elegant or absurd? This is ridiculous."
Bai Youlou rubbed his chin and smiled strangely: "Elegant boiled eggs, absurd pasta?"
Old Zhou opened his mouth, speechless.
