After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 23 Chapter [-] Preparing for the Interview
But before the explosion two years ago, the company had helped him get a lot of commercial endorsements.

Endorsement depends on the timing, just like Li Mingji, who was originally just a small role in the entertainment industry that no one cares about. Every year, he enters the industry through drafts or other means, and then slowly fades away. How many.

But later, he became famous overnight with a drama and was immediately out of the entertainment industry. He was even almost invited to the Spring Festival Gala that year. However, the trip did not happen because of issues such as rehearsals and other issues.

It's also because the current Spring Festival Gala is not as good as it was back then, otherwise the company would have to send him up if it was a big deal.

The most influential ones are actually those merchants endorsed by Li Mingji.

He even endorsed a local supermarket chain, can you believe it?

But this endorsement disappeared a long time ago, and other brands such as men's clothing, sports shoes, beverages, mobile phones, etc., it is also difficult for the company to find so many and such a comprehensive brand for him to endorse.

In fact, these brands have a very prominent point. They are basically in the local city where the company is located, or at least in the province. Therefore, it is hard to say whether there is a factor in the involvement of the company's partners.

But obviously, none of the endorsements that Li Mingji has on his back are in line with his current market.

More importantly, when he signed the contract, Li Mingji was still a low-level [-]th-line artist, so the signing fee was naturally at the market price at that time.

In other words, they paid a bargain price to hire a star with a sky-high price, and also enjoyed the benefits of this star's popularity.

These companies were originally rooted in the local area, and their influence was limited to the local area. As a result, because of Li Mingji's relationship, many brands were known to other places.

In fact, these companies had already waved their checks and wanted to renew Li Mingji's contract, but neither the company's senior management nor Brother Wang agreed.

Even Li Mingji himself would not agree. Not to mention that he had only a cooperative relationship with those companies and had no favors. There was no situation where they helped him when he was at a low point.

Even if there is a relationship, you have to pay back what should be paid in the past two years. If you want to accept advertisements, you must accept them from famous brands, big brands or even international brands, and it is impossible to accept them again.

The so-called business is now not just about money, but about quality.

Just like it is hard for you to believe that an international superstar will accept the endorsement of a township enterprise, it is not that you look down on the township enterprise, but that it does not match the position of the international superstar, which will make people feel very low, and even affect the created star image.

Celebrities themselves are not necessarily a noble species, but the price is clearly marked. This price is not just about land cost, but also includes the value of the brand.

The identity of the spokesperson of some brands is enough to attract attention, and cooperation with such brands is a win-win situation for both stars and brands.

This is impossible for those local companies, unless there is at least one well-known brand among them, then Li Mingji will be happy to "contribute to the construction of his hometown".

When this is mentioned now, Brother Wang is still full of resentment, "If I could go back to the past, I must tell the company not to sign you so many endorsement contracts, even if they do, don't sign them for so many years."

Not only him, but many people in the company also have such thoughts.

Calculated based on the past two years, how much money has been lost?

You must know that the contract Li Mingji signed with the company was still before he became popular. Although he later renegotiated and adjusted the share, the company still took the majority.

This is why the company can't wait to launch the second Li Mingji. They regret it, and they are also afraid that after Li Mingji's contract, he will no longer renew his contract with the company.

Even during the current contract period, there are many people who want to poach corners.

If they can't take advantage of the shareholder style brought by Li Mingji to develop other businesses of the company and cultivate successors, when Li Mingji really leaves "Weiheng Entertainment" one day, it will be too late for them to regret it.

Li Mingji smiled and said: "It goes without saying that the company also came to them back then. You can't be like a dog when you first asked for sex, and now you think you are ugly after masturbating, right?"

Brother Wang laughed and said: "Yeah, it's not rough. Anyway, it's less than a year, and then you will be a completely free person. You can sign with whoever you want to sign with. This time, "MAN" magazine The cooperation is a good start..."

Li Mingji smiled and said nothing.

His personality is actually quite easy to satisfy, and it may be because he hasn't been affected for the time being, and he doesn't value money so much.

Then he went out with Brother Wang to have breakfast, but he never thought that he would run into the heroine who was also going out.

Li Mingji was stunned for a moment, remembered what happened last night, and went forward to say hello.

Unexpectedly, he just walked over with a smile, and before opening his mouth, the heroine turned around and ran away when she saw him as if she saw a bad guy.

Li Ming withdrew his hand in embarrassment, scratched his head, and then noticed that Brother Wang looked at him strangely, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "Don't think about it, I have nothing to do with her, and I don't know what she is doing. Something happened."

Brother Wang didn't open his mouth, but Li Mingji was really wronged by the expression of "you think our people will believe your nonsense".

"Okay, believe it or not, it doesn't matter, I'm tired."

Li Mingji deeply felt what an unbearable image his predecessor left behind. Even his agents and assistants didn't believe him, so he seemed to have something really wrong.

Fortunately, I am still very pure, the kiss last night was my first kiss—well, the first kiss after rebirth, there is nothing wrong with calling it the first kiss.

After eating with Xiaoguang and Aya, they returned to the room and sat together, and Brother Wang started talking about business again.

"By the way, since you agreed to Weng Chenxi's side, you'd better find a time to go to the interview, and it will be confirmed as soon as possible. Signing the contract can make both parties feel at ease."

Li Mingji touched his chin and said, "Do you want me to wait for two more days?"

"What, you want to rest a little longer?"

"No, I just want to prepare more. This is a male protagonist after all. Even if he has facial paralysis, he can still act as a facial paralysis with good acting skills."

"Ah this..."

Brother Wang and Xiaoguang were stunned, Brother Wang frowned and said, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's serious. Is there a problem with how to prepare well?" Li Mingji thought that Brother Wang was doubting his determination. He admitted that he liked the 3-minute enthusiasm when doing things, but that was probably because he didn't see the effect.

But now that he has changed to a new identity, everything he tries is new, and he will not give up so easily just for the fresh experience.

Brother Wang said: "That's fine, since you want to do this, as long as you are happy."

"Um, is there no other itinerary?"

Li Mingji was a little worried that it would conflict with his arrangement. He planned to recharge his batteries when he was free, read books and studied to enrich himself, and slowly improved in practice when he was officially filming.

Brother Wang said with a smile: "360 days a year, you can't be so busy all the time, there must be a time to catch your breath. And don't think you can relax, it's you who said you need to prepare, then use the original rest time deducted.

"After your interview is over and the shooting time is confirmed, you have to go back to the company and see if there is any suitable invitation from the company."

"Are there many invitations from the company?"

"Do you think that Shidi of yours is really taken for nothing? Although everyone may know what's going on, but this Shidi has added to your resume, and it will also make it easy for those people to think of you when they are casting.

"Otherwise, why do you think everyone wants to win prizes? It's not for displaying good looks, but because it is really beneficial and helpful for personal development.

"Of course, what everyone wants to see is the actual thing. If your acting skills are good enough, your popularity can help you gain a lot of points. So, work hard, Saonian."

Li Mingji suddenly covered his mouth and approached Xiaoguang and the others in a low voice: "I think Brother Wang is actually quite suitable for pyramid schemes..."

No one spoke, but Brother Wang naturally heard the sound. He opened his eyes and was about to say something when he suddenly smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I'm in a good mood recently, so I won't argue with you."
