Chapter 592 Making Money Is Not Shabby
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I have long admired your name."
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong both smiled and shook hands with Zhang Jiahui.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, hello Mr. Wang, I am Zha Zhahui." Zhang Jiahui said.
Zha Zhahui?
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were both stunned for a moment.
"It's Zhang Zhahui, not Zhazhahui." Zhang Jiahui corrected with great effort.
At this time, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong finally understood.
Zhang Jiahui's Mandarin is terrible.
Koo Tim Lok's Mandarin is pretty good. Although he is not as good as Andy Lau and Zhang Xueyou, he is basically passable and will not be incomprehensible.
Compared with Zhang Jiahui and Gu Tianle, Gu Tianle can score six points, which is a passing grade. Zhang Jiahui can score three points, which is considered good.
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong didn't laugh at Zhang Jiahui. After all, their living environments were different.
"Mr. Xu, take a seat." Xu Yang motioned for Zhang Jiahui to take a seat.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, I..." Zhang Jiahui was self-aware and knew that his Mandarin was very poor, so he spoke with great difficulty, trying to make Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong understand every word he said as clearly as possible.
Seeing him like this, Xu Yang said: "Mr. Zhang, you should know English. Mr. Wang returned from studying abroad. You can communicate in English. My spoken English is not very good, but I can basically understand it. I can occasionally speak Just a few words, you guys have finished chatting, I will just listen."
His English level is average, and he has no problem with basic reading and writing.
But his spoken English is relatively poor. After all, there is no language environment for him to speak English.
Wang Xiaocong is different. He came back from studying abroad and speaks fluent English.
Hearing Xu Yang's words, Zhang Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said in English: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your understanding. Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, first of all, I want to say sorry. I rarely speak Mandarin. Basically, I speak As for Cantonese, although I have worked very hard to learn Mandarin during this period, the results are not satisfactory."
Wang Xiaocong said in fluent English: "It's okay, we understand. I see that Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou both speak very good Mandarin. I know that you have a very good relationship, especially you and Zhang Xueyou have a very good relationship." , you can learn more from them, I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to speak Mandarin well."
Zhang Jiahui said: "Thank you, I will do it."
Then, he asked: "I heard that Gu Tianle just left, right?"
Wang Xiaocong nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Gu has agreed to endorse our games and has signed a contract."
"It won't work if he doesn't agree to the endorsement." Zhang Jiahui said with a strange look on his face, "Now the whole country knows that Louis Koo is green. To be honest, this advertising slogan is a bit harmful to Louis Koo. If he doesn't agree, If I go to court with you for endorsement, you will definitely not be willing to take down the advertisement. His advertisement will be circulated on the Internet for who knows how many years. If you agree to be an endorsement, you don’t have to worry about the advertisement. If I’m not wrong, he will definitely let you get it as soon as possible. Take down that ad?"
Wang Xiaocong nodded and said: "Yes, we promised him that we will remove the advertisement within 24 hours."
Zhang Jiahui said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, to be honest, I am very interested in endorsing your game."
Zhang Jiahui is already old and can no longer fight.
He is still very happy to be able to make money by filming commercials.
He will endorse any brand that he is asked to endorse, as long as it is not too bad.
It's not easy to make money making movies these days, especially for an actor like him.
It’s easier to make money by accepting endorsements and filming commercials.
Zhang Jiahui is still happy to make such easy money.
After receiving an invitation from Wang Xiaocong to endorse this game, Zhang Jiahui's agent analyzed it for Zhang Jiahui and said that the biggest problem with endorsing this game was that it would lower Zhang Jiahui's reputation as the best actor.
Zhang Jiahui doesn't think this problem is a problem at all. It's just like that after he became the best actor.
Whether he was good or not, when he first won the Best Actor, he still cared about it.
But after so many years, his acting skills as a movie star have not helped him earn much money, and gradually he no longer cares.
Moreover, the agent said that there are many benefits of endorsing this game, that is, more money, a short shooting period, no trouble, and no sequelae.
In the view of Zhang Jiahui's agent, this is a very high-quality endorsement.
In fact, Chen Long's agent wanted to maintain Chen Long's status as an international superstar and urged Chen Long not to accept this endorsement.
Most celebrities' agents would think that the game's endorsement is very good.
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong said before that many celebrities wanted to be endorsed, but they didn't give them a chance. This was not entirely false.
As long as you make money, that's all. Why bother with the rest.
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong are still very satisfied with Zhang Jiahui's attitude.
Make money, don’t be shabby!
Since you want to make money, don't be coy.
If Zhang Jiahui said something bad about endorsing this game, I'm afraid Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong would give him the word "go away"!
"Mr. Zhang, since you are interested, our negotiations can get down to business." Wang Xiaocong said.
"Okay, let's enter. How much endorsement fee will you give me?" Zhang Jiahui was very direct.
Now that everything is on the table, there is no need to be secretive. There is no shame in talking about money. If you find it embarrassing, don’t talk about it.
"Mr. Zhang, according to our investigation, your endorsement fee is about five million, right?" Wang Xiaocong asked.
"Yes." Zhang Jiahui nodded honestly.
The endorsement fees are all transparent. If you look it up, you will know that no one will brag about this kind of issue, unless it is some stupid celebrity.
"We will give you seven million, what do you think?" Wang Xiaocong asked.
This is really a premium, and it is an active premium.
This was discussed between Wang Xiaocong and Xu Yang, and they felt that Zhang Jiahui was worth the money.
More importantly, Koo Tim Lok and Zhang Jiahui are on-screen partners. When they endorse together, the effect is not simply one plus one equals two, but definitely greater than two.
It can be said that the reason why Zhangjiahui can be given such a high price is Gu Tianle.
Wang Xiaocong and Xu Yang came to Hong Kong to hire celebrity endorsements. They were willing to pay a premium for certain celebrities, and Zhang Jiahui was one of them.
"Can you give me an auspicious number, eight million?" Zhang Jiahui knew that Wang Xiaocong had paid a premium for him.
But now is the negotiation stage. If Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong don't agree, then 7 million will be enough. It won't be a loss anyway.
Wang Xiaocong glanced at Xu Yang, saw Xu Yang nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, then let's use this auspicious number, eight million!"
For two people, one million more is nothing.
"Thank you Mr. Wang, thank you Mr. Xu. Let's sign the contract for 8 million." Zhang Jiahui looked very excited.
The endorsements he receives are basically around 5 million.
This is around one million, with the highest not exceeding six million.
Eight million is the highest endorsement fee he has ever received. How can this not make him excited?
And he also knew that this advertisement was very simple to shoot, not as hard as shooting a single scene in a movie.
So the two parties immediately signed a contract.
After signing the contract, Wang Xiaocong gave Zhang Jiahui an advance payment of four million.
After making an appointment for the filming, Zhang Jiahui took his agent and lawyer and left happily.
