Chapter 697 Deskmate

"Are you kidding? Brother, didn't you just say..."

Upon hearing the sudden news, Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a second and asked in disbelief as if he didn't react.

He actually knew that Park Jae-hyun never joked about serious matters, but he still felt that it was a bit too sudden...especially since they had just talked about this topic, and it suddenly changed within a few minutes, and he was inexplicably infected with a sense of humor. .

"Of course it's true. Agent Cui from SM called me. He just confirmed it and informed us immediately." Park Jae-hyun's face was rosy and his eyes were shining. It could be seen that he was really excited at this time.

Even though he had already handled so many brand and advertising negotiations and representations for Chi Jingyuan, including many top names, he still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart at this time.

"The company said that they will reject the interview you are waiting for later. After we finish our work here, we will go directly back to the meeting. By the way, the title is for the Asia-Pacific region...

Park Jae-hyun introduced to Chi Jingyuan very quickly, but before he finished speaking, the floor manager over there shouted that the break time was up, and the staff all stood up and prepared to start working again.

Although he was interrupted, he didn't show off. He leaned into Chi Jingyuan's ear and whispered in Chi Jingyuan's ear to add what he just didn't finish. Then he winked at Chi Jingyuan, who had a good-looking expression, and signaled that he would talk more in detail later when he was done with his work. Jingyuan also nodded, shook his head and walked towards the PD with a smile.

Although I felt a little anxious after hearing the good news, I am still an old idol after all. Especially when it comes to magazine covers and other pictorial shoots, I am very experienced and familiar with it, so Chi Jingyuan did not affect the efficiency of my work. On the contrary, maybe because they were in a good mood, the progress was even faster than before. The filming ended more than two hours later. After saying goodbye to the PD and staff, Chi Jingyuan and his team quickly got in the car and returned to the company.

"...Sure enough, it is exactly what I thought before. According to the progress of the negotiations between the two parties, after observing for so long, there will be a result soon. If an official announcement is to be made this year, the fashion week at the end of September is the best time. There is enough time. Prepare, all activities and promotions can be followed by then... If it is to be announced during fashion week, it will be in the past few days... in fact, it is already a bit late."

As soon as the car door was closed, with the sound of the engine running, Park Jae-hyun couldn't help but turned around and said a lot. His tone was less excited than before, but more relieved: "I just told you, the title is also the same as before. We thought the same thing before. After such a long period of research, it is definitely not a relatively low-valued title like Friend and Ambassador. The first cooperation is the official brand spokesperson. "

After struggling for such a long time, the top-level endorsement that other idol idols could not even imagine was secured. This is a great affirmation and recognition for Chi Jingyuan himself and for those of them who depend on Chi Jingyuan for their survival. Results.

"The spokesperson of the Asia-Pacific region..."

Chi Jingyuan repeated softly, savoring the agreed-upon title, and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Hearing his tone, Park Jae-hyun looked back at Chi Jingyuan strangely: "Aren't you a little disappointed?"

"How is it possible? The Asia-Pacific region is already very good... In fact, at first I thought he was the spokesperson of the Peninsula region alone." Chi Jingyuan shook his head after coming back to his senses and laughed at the same time: "Brother, you didn't say that just now, What kind of collaboration? Fashion or eyewear?”

The region is a bit unexpected, and the identity of the spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region is surprising. Next is the product line. It is also important to cooperate with the spokesperson of which product line. If the cooperation is with the brand's pillar product line, the importance will naturally be different.

"Haha... It's not just fashion..." Park Jae-hyun laughed twice when he heard the words, and the excitement that had disappeared reappeared on his face. After giving it a try, he felt the dissatisfied look in Chi Jingyuan's eyes before announcing in an excited tone. : "You are not just a watch product line person in the Peninsula region like Jun Ji-hyun, but a full-line spokesperson for all product lines including fashion, watches, jewelry, glasses, and handbags. It is an all-round cooperation!"

"Qingjia?" When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise and surprise.

The Asia-Pacific region has already exceeded expectations, and the full range of spokespersons is even more surprising, and even makes him feel flattered.

Because it has indeed exceeded expectations a lot.

Although GUCCI took the initiative to contact them and conducted a very enthusiastic and serious inspection for several years, showing a serious intention to cooperate. However, Chi Jingyuan's team and himself did not have high expectations. They thought it was 'Brand spokesperson', but I didn't expect that the region would be directly 'Asia Pacific'.

The Asia-Pacific region can be said to be the most qualified regional spokesperson title besides the ‘global region’.

Chi Jingyuan had previously thought that even if the deal was agreed upon, it should be in the peninsula area, or slightly expanded, and the product line should be in the fashion category, or add glasses.

After all, the peninsula is still too small. Although Kpop has developed relatively maturely in Asia, its influence has only begun to emerge around the world.

For such a luxury brand at the top of the industry, the profession of idol is still very limited.

Judging from the current situation in 2016, it's okay to say 'Friend' or 'Ambassador', but in cooperation with top brands, titles like 'Spokesperson' are only available to the top artists. Yes, there is only Jun Ji-hyun as an actor in the entire peninsula, and idols are even more unique. I dare not even think about it.

Even in the Mainland, which has a huge market nearby, the only person who holds the title of GUCCI's "Spokesperson" in the Mainland is Li Bingbing, who was very active in Hollywood in the past two years. GUCCI still considered and considered before deciding to cooperate... but it seems to have lasted for two years. The cooperation between the two will not be renewed in the future. Recently, GUCCI seems to have a new admirer in the mainland, and it has begun to cooperate and communicate closely with Chunchun.

These top European luxury brands are still at a very cautious trial stage in cooperating with Asian artists. There are even fewer collaborators on the peninsula. The ability to directly provide Chi Jingyuan with the full spokesperson identity in the Asia-Pacific region has gone through After years of inspection and market analysis, he is indeed very optimistic about him personally.

"GUCCI was very cautious in this cooperation, but after such a long period of research, they also made a very courageous and bold attempt and decision... In fact, I was quite surprised after hearing it... The peninsula music industry, and even the entertainment industry In-depth cooperation with these top luxury brands in Europe is actually very rare. Anyway, Jingyuan, you have set a precedent in the idol fashion circle this time..."

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Exaggeration? You'll know when the news gets out..."

While Park Jae-hyun was chatting, Chi Jingyuan and the others quickly returned to the company and came to the conference room to hold a meeting with the directors and directors who had already prepared here. The representative responsible for negotiating with GUCCI was excited It also explained in detail the communication process and the results they achieved, and detailed the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, as well as publicity, endorsement fees and other related matters.

It can be seen that SM Company is also very excited about the breakthrough progress. When this representative spoke, his whole face was red, and his pair of tiny triangular eyes were stretched to one size.

For brokerage companies in the entertainment industry, fashion resources themselves are also an important indicator of their own strength. Originally, the fashion resources of the entire peninsula music industry were very abusive, and some local brands and resources were eager to grab them. Because of this, Most artists participating in catwalk shows and evening parties of major events basically wear black and white dresses.

Originally, among the three major players, only YG was slightly better, but this time with the breakthrough achieved by Ji Jingyuan, SM can be considered to be on the line with the ancient and arrogant luxury goods circle. The remaining light of the source can also be used to contact other artists in the company with some good resources.

"This Asia-Pacific spokesperson cooperation will not be directly announced for the time being. Under the strong suggestion of the brand and after our communication, the official announcement time has been determined to be placed at the fashion week at the end of September this year. GUCCI will officially issue an announcement by then. , and at the same time, offline advertising will be laid out across a large area throughout the Asia-Pacific region, and all-round local promotion will be carried out..."

"Before this, we and the artists must cooperate with each other to prepare for various matters..."

The last focus of the meeting was to change Chi Jingyuan's schedule. Because the cooperation was reached suddenly and GUCCI was urging him urgently, he temporarily added a lot of new work. The company determined that he would no longer participate in "Monster" All the singing and activities in the next period of time will be left in two days, that is, in early July. I will first go to the GUCCI headquarters in Italy and the Kering headquarters in France to visit the inside of the company. Feel the heritage of 'Europe's top blue-blood brand', then have a meal and chat with the artistic director and group CEO, and formally sign a contract.

This is a process that every spokesperson must go through.

Then we started shooting hard ads and promotional pictorials for the full range of products endorsed by GUCCI in preparation for the official release in September.

Chi Jingyuan nodded and had no objection to his arrangement.

Just saying that, his return trip for the third album is over...

"Why do you feel so anxious? It's almost July. I have to shoot an advertisement right after I go to Italy. Advertising for a full line of products must be a lot of work. I haven't finished the advertising plan yet, right? Do you have time to prepare?"

After the meeting, he chatted with the operations director for a few words and then walked out. Chi Jingyuan was communicating with Park Jae-hyun in the corridor.

"I heard that GUCCI has actually decided to cooperate before. Many things have been prepared in advance. The proactive style and planning of the advertisement have been carefully considered..." Park Jae-hyun learned some secrets: "Even I heard Representative Li said that they have even chosen the photographer.”

"...Although it's a collaboration, the brand side definitely occupies a completely dominant position. SM has no say in this kind of thing, after all..." As he said this, he shrugged helplessly: "It's even possible SM’s voice is not as high as your own, so you can put forward some opinions on advertising, because GUCCI only cares about you.”

"As long as it's not a nude blockbuster, I probably won't have any suggestions." Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and made a joke.

He actually agreed with Park Jae-hyun's statement.

When he walked into the elevator, just as he was talking, he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, weren't we originally scheduled to shoot the music videos for two songs from the reissued album in early July? What if I go to Italy for work?"

During the busy overtime and practice in the past few days, they have become proficient in the dance of the two title songs of the re-released album, "LOTTO" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears". The recording work has also been completed. The specific return is confirmed in early August, and the filming of the MV The time has also been set for July 2nd, and judging by the time, the set should have been set up.

Park Jae-hyun seemed to be well prepared, and easily pressed the elevator door button twice:

"I just discussed this with the head of the record department. Everyone else will shoot their individual shots first, and extend the venue rental period to reserve the set. After you come back, we will shoot the group and your personal shots together."

"That's fine."

…………

There is a lot of work related to spokesperson matters, including a series of preparations for publicity in the future, which requires a lot of exchanges and communication between the two companies. However, these things are done by specialized personnel of the company, and there is no such thing as shooting the advertisement and officially making it public. At that time, Chi Jingyuan actually didn't have much to do personally now.

It’s just that once his identity is revealed, he will go out for some activities in the future, or even go to some places where there is a risk of being photographed by fans. He must pay attention to his dress and grooming. At least in public places, his accessories and even clothing must use GUCCI. Branded.

This is also one of the responsibilities of being a brand spokesperson. GUCCI has given so much endorsement fees and is preparing to fully promote it in the Asia-Pacific region just to let him bring the goods.

It's just that his favorite Doraemon and Pokémon clothes are not very easy to wear. After all, in many people's subconscious minds, this kind of anime costumes don't go well with fashion.

But this thought actually made him a little uncomfortable... It would be great if GUCCI and these well-known anime could produce joint fashion and accessories in his name.

I feel like a lot of people will like it...

The conclusion of the cooperation with GUCCI made Chi Jingyuan feel very good. After the company confirmed the specific contents of the contract, at around 7 o'clock in the evening, he received a call from Park Jin Young, put on his bag and went to the appointed place to eat. .

We had made an appointment to have a meal together before.

Because it was a private dinner, he didn't ask Park Jae-hyun to follow him and drove here by himself. After parking the car in the underground parking lot, he disguised himself and went upstairs to the agreed upon location.

This place was found by Park Jin Young. It is a relatively high-end Italian restaurant. I heard that the taste, service, and even the decoration here are very good and very stylish. From time to time, he invites some of his artists to have dinner here. , Twice seemed to have had dinner together here before their debut.

I don’t feel anything else, but the decoration is really good. The bright lights, clear lines and concise shapes make the whole space look more tidy and orderly. The abstract paintings full of artistic style hanging on the wall make people feel inexplicably. beauty and luxury.

In the past, Chi Jingyuan could not appreciate paintings of this style, but now, perhaps because he was in a good mood, he thought the lines and colors of these paintings were actually pretty good-looking.

Under the guidance of JYP's assistant, he walked into the box humming a song.

The private room is very large, and three ceiling chandeliers, one large, two small, illuminate the entire room brightly and brightly. It adheres to the consistent decoration style outside. Rather than being a dining room, it is more like a business conference room in a luxury hotel.

Before he could say anything, the two people who were sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up and looked at him with different expressions, but did not speak. Instead, they all looked at Park Zhenying beside them.

"Jingyuan, here we come." Park Zhenying, who seemed to be talking to Twice, also started to say hello with a smile on his face, and at the same time took the initiative to greet him.

"Brother." Chi Jingyuan also waved and greeted, and while taking off his mask, he glanced at the people in the room, smiled politely and complained: "Why are you so solemn?"

Secondly, the place they chose to eat was luxurious. Twice and the others were originally sitting on the sofa. As soon as they saw him, they all stood up and stood upright, just like recruits when they saw the instructor. Chi Jingyuan felt that they It's better to salute and shout loyalty.

"Haha..." Park Zhenying smiled and said haha. At the same time, the eight girls from Twice immediately bowed softly.

"Senior Aniha Saiyo..."

The few people who were accustomed to calling him Oppa stopped calling him, and returned to the title of senior... Although several people were smiling, when Chi Jingyuan looked over, Mingjing Nan exchanged it with him without leaving any trace. With one look, Zhou Ziyu had big eyes, Minazaki Sasha and Kim Dahyun both grinned and smiled a little silly with their front teeth exposed, while Lin Nayeon actually had a little smile and looked at Chi Jingyuan with very smart eyes. s face.

It was obvious that we were having a meal together in private, but Chi Jingyuan came over wearing a hat and no makeup, and the private server was still very ordinary short-sleeved jeans, but JYP did it a little too formal... Needless to say, it must be because Park Jin Young’s reasons.

But fortunately, everyone is still wearing private clothes, and they look pretty good...

In the box, a long strip table was solemnly placed, with a dark blue tablecloth spread all over it. Tableware had been placed in front of each stool. Park Jin-young gestured to the assistant next to him to serve the dishes, and at the same time extended his hand to signal Chi Jingyuan to sit down directly.

"What do you think of this restaurant?"

"Well... it's still too solemn. Why does it feel like a business party? When I came in just now, did you stand up and greet me? Did you just rehearse it?" Chi Jingyuan hung his bag on the back of the chair and sat in the middle of the long table, facing Park Jin-young, and at the same time looked at the girls next to him who were also pulling out their stools to sit in.

Minatozaki Sana and the others who were swept by his sight covered their mouths and laughed embarrassedly, pulled out their stools and sat in.

Chi Jingyuan and Park Jin-young sat in the middle of the whole square table, while the other eight Twice members sat on their left and right sides.

"Haha, it's a good habit for newcomers to pay attention to manners... But as for the restaurant, I think you should prefer this style with your living habits." Park Jin-young laughed twice, and then looked around the decoration of the box.

He felt that with Chi Jingyuan's family conditions, he should prefer this kind of high-end place.

"Most of these occasions and styles are more about etiquette than food... And how did you know my living habits?" Chi Jingyuan chuckled without comment, and asked back. Just as he was about to criticize Park Jin-young's imagination, the stool on his left was pulled away, and with a faint fragrance, Ming Jingnan gently sat down next to him, reaching out to stroke the tail of the short hair beside his ear.

The tranquil smell like cherry blossoms entered the nose, and the small section of the shoulder exposed on the right side of the large-sized loose short-sleeved off-shoulder style was a little dazzling.

This deskmate is satisfying...

Before Chi Jingyuan could look over and make eye contact with Ming Jingnan, the stool on his right was also pulled away. Lin Nayeon, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, came here at some point. She moved the stool back and sat in with her long legs under her shorts.

It seemed that she had moved it too hard just now, and the distance was a little far. She moved forward with the seat of the chair, making a muffled sound, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed to shake the air bangs in front of her forehead, and also lifted the hair by her ears. She just raised her chest and raised her head, sitting upright, but she had no intention of looking here at all, as if there was no one next to her.

This deskmate...

Re-updated, I feel everyone supports it

After this section is over, the plot will speed up. The emotional line was written in a restrained way some time ago, and Di Guang felt a sense of being restrained. During this period, the plot was sorted out and some changes are needed!
