Outside the Chinese department's campus.
Trucks came and went, and the sounds of things being moved could be heard.
Zhang Ye walked forward slowly, at a much slower pace as he listened to the aunt and nephew duo's conversation.
Wu Zeqing said calmly, "There are so many celebrities in the entertainment industry, why did you have to find our school's Little Zhang? Wouldn't it be the same if you just hired anyone? Hur Hur, although Little Zhang is from Peking University, we are in the education field. We can talk about education, but there's no need to talk about anything else. Even if I'm your aunt, I can't go through the back door for you. If this gets out, wouldn't it be bad? Why don't you talk to someone else? It's the same no matter who the spokesperson is. "
Wu Mo was quite handsome. His face was a little small, but it was very exquisite. He looked quite similar to Wu Zeqing.
Wu Mo said anxiously, "Of course it's different. How can anyone else compare to Zhang Ye? I can't afford to hire those A- and B-list celebrities. Their prices are too high. As for the C- and D-list celebrities, only Zhang Ye stands out. What I value the most is Teacher Zhang Ye's fan base. There are all ages. A few years old, in their teens, in their twenties, in their thirties, in their forties. Other products might not like that, and might want to focus on an age group, but our company sells health products. The larger the audience, the better. "
Wu Zeqing said, "Are there other celebrities like that?"
"There are." Wu Mo spread out his palms, "But we still can't compare to Zhang Ye. Among those singers and actors, there are a few who are more suitable, but our company's upper management held a meeting and discussed it for two days. In the end, we still feel that Zhang Ye is the most suitable. There's no other reason than that Zhang Ye is the most authoritative and has a good image. Of course, when I say image, I'm not referring to his looks and reputation, but the fact that he is a lecturer at Peking University. Who in Peking University doesn't know about this? Everyone trusts Zhang Ye. As someone who works in education, he is naturally trustworthy.
Wu Zeqing looked at him, "Why? You still want to use education as a pretense to deceive people? "
Wu Mo hurriedly said, "Aunt, I'm not deceiving people. Don't you know me? Our products are the most conscientious in the industry. They will definitely be of good quality. Why don't you help me contact them? Zhang Ye is not an official teacher of Peking University, so there's no contract that prevents him from endorsing on camera. "
Wu Zeqing smiled. "Why don't you go look for it yourself?"
Wu Mo said helplessly, "Do you think I didn't? I got the advertising company to contact Zhang Ye, but they didn't even get to see his face. They didn't even give me his phone number. From what I know, there were a few other companies that wanted to get Zhang Ye to endorse their products, but all of them were turned down. They were all rejected by Zhang Ye's current online television station. It was said that Zhang Ye was afraid of trouble and did not have a manager, so he got his company to reject these invitations. The exact words they gave were that Teacher Zhang Ye would not accept endorsements from companies below the mid-sized scale, so there was no room for discussion."
Zhang Ye was at a loss for words. Those words were indeed said by him.
Many people were looking for him. Nanjing University wanted to invite him to teach, publishing houses wanted him to write books, a few singers wanted him to write songs, and many television stations wanted him to host programs. There were also many companies that wanted him to endorse their products, but Zhang Ye was different from other celebrities. When he did endorsements, he did not care about money. It was fine as long as he had enough money to use. What he cared about was reputation and fame. If he were to endorse a small company's advertisement, especially one that was a knockoff or a country bumpkin, when it was broadcast on television, it would look like it was degrading. It would not be of the same standard. Even if he earned some money and gained some exposure, it would definitely be detrimental to his current reputation. People who saw the endorsement and advertisement would subconsciously look down on Zhang Ye. The gains did not make up for the losses. Hence, he did not accept advertisements from small companies. If he wanted to take on something big, something that could show his face. Even if it did not earn him money, he would still do it.
For example, a Coke advertisement.
For example, an advertisement for a listed company.
However, a large conglomerate like them did not lack this bit of money. They would usually hire A-list or even S-list superstars or even international superstars, so they naturally would not invite Zhang Ye. As a result, Zhang Ye had not been able to "get laid" all this while, nor did he think of doing any endorsement deals.
Wu Mo carried on, "Aunt, can you take pity on me? I really want to hire Teacher Zhang Ye. Asking you to help our company hire him cheaper through the back door was just a joke. As long as he agrees to the endorsement, we will not be stingy with the endorsement fee. Actually, what we value the most is Zhang Ye's advertising planning ability. Back then, he had planned two advertisements. One was a public service advertisement for electricity conservation, and the other was a promotional advertisement for 'I'll speak for myself'. You should have seen both of them, right? They were all done by Zhang Ye himself. They were all too awesome. We got the advertising company to help us customize a few advertising plans, but the results were not ideal. There was no creativity in them. This definitely won't do. How much does 15 seconds of advertising time cost? We definitely have to use the best. Now, be it the endorsement or advertising planning, I'm counting on Teacher Zhang Ye. There are only a few days left before the advertisements go up. If this carries on, my company will really go bankrupt! "
Wu Zeqing calmly waved her hands, "This matter, it's not convenient for me to speak up, nor can I speak up."
Wu Mo said, "Teacher Zhang is from the Chinese department. If it's not convenient for you to speak up, who can?"
"You, it's better if you ….." Upon saying this, Wu Zeqing turned her head, "Little Zhang?"
Zhang Ye had been seen. He quickly slowed down to a normal pace, "President Wu, good morning."
Wu Zeqing smiled, "Good morning."
Wu Mo's eyes lit up, like a weasel seeing a chicken, "Teacher Zhang! You must be Teacher Zhang! Aiyah, I nearly didn't recognize you. You are much more handsome in person than on TV! " Regardless of the consequences, he first flattered Zhang Ye. Saying that, he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Ye's hand and shook it vigorously, "Hello, hello. I've heard so much about you. I've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with you!"
Zhang Ye pretended not to know anything, or they would know that he was eavesdropping. It would not look good, "Oh? You're looking for me? You are? "
Wu Mo said, "My name is Wu Mo. I'm the little boss of a small company. This is my aunt." He pointed at Wu Zeqing and used this to get closer to her.
Zhang Ye shook hands with him, "So you're President Wu's nephew? Nice to meet you. "
Wu Zeqing did not say a word. It was as if she pretended not to hear him. This was already her attitude. She did not stop her nephew from using her name. Of course, she could not reject him. This was the truth.
Wu Mo grabbed onto Zhang Ye and did not let go. He repeated most of what Zhang Ye had just heard and threw out a very warm invitation. He even said, "As long as you are willing to come, our company will pay you the endorsement fee of a C-list celebrity. The advertising planning fee will be calculated separately!" Zhang Ye was only a D-list celebrity.
This was because Zhang Ye had taken an unusual path. Although he was not a C-list celebrity, his fan base and cohesiveness was definitely higher than a C-list celebrity. A typical C-list celebrity would have a large fan base, but it was not cohesiveness enough. As the saying goes, fans might like them, but not to the point of liking them. But Zhang Ye was different. Those who did not like him, did not like literature, novels, or television programs, would not even recognize him. But if they really liked Zhang Ye, they would like him to the bone. Some people loved his poems to death, while others were obsessed with his talk show. This was his value. This was the core value that made Zhang Ye different from others! Hence, he was worth the endorsement fee!
Zhang Ye said politely, "What's the general situation of your company?"
Wu Mo's eyes flashed as he said, "We sell health supplements. The product's name is' Brain Gold '. It nourishes the brain and improves intelligence. It's especially good for the elderly. It can prolong life, prevent aging, delay memory loss and Alzheimer's, lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, expand blood vessels, nourish Yin …"
He understood!
It was to cure a hundred illnesses!
And it was called Brain Gold? Why did this name sound so familiar?
Zhang Ye felt it was unreliable the moment he heard it, "Friend, is the quality of your product up to standard?"
Wu Mo coughed and said, "Don't worry about that, it will definitely pass. I just said it without thinking. Actually, there's nothing I can't say to you. This thing is really good, but it's not that amazing. It can increase one's memory and nourish one's body, that's true. As for the rest … it's just a concept and theory, but the actual effects might not be that obvious. For example, if we added ginseng, the effects of ginseng would naturally be written down. But because we added less, it's just a concept and the effects might not be that great. It can only be considered as a health supplement, but it's definitely beneficial to the body. This is something I can guarantee on my honor, or else it wouldn't have passed the relevant authorities' inspection.
Zhang Ye nodded, "That's also pretty good."
Wu Mo observed Zhang Ye's expression, "Look, can we discuss the details in detail? It's best if we can discuss it now, because the advertising schedule is very tight. There aren't more than two days left. "
Zhang Ye confirmed once again, "Your health supplements are definitely beneficial to the body, right?"
If you don't believe me, you can ask my aunt. I bought the patent for this product at a high price a few years ago. Our company has all the tests and relevant certificates. I bring it to my family every month. My parents also drink it every day. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to visit our company anytime. "Wu Mo immediately said," Definitely, why don't I get a few boxes for you to let Uncle and Auntie have a taste? Oh right, young people can actually drink it too. It's good for people who use their brains.
Zhang Ye acknowledged, "I believe you. There's no need to visit. I'll accept your endorsement."
Wu Mo was stunned. He had long heard that Zhang Ye never accepted endorsements from small companies. Besides, they had not even discussed the exact price, yet he had agreed so readily?
Wu Zeqing could tell and interjected, "Teacher Little Zhang, you have to think carefully on this matter. Don't give me face."
Zhang Ye chuckled, "It's not because of you. I've never endorsed any products before. When I heard that Brain Gold wasn't bad, I was tempted."
Wu Mo was extremely excited, "That's great! That's great! "
Actually, everyone knew that Zhang Ye was clearly doing this because of Wu Zeqing!
Brain Gold?
What did their company have?
Money? They did not give the most money!
Products? The products were not the best either!
The company's scale? The scale was mediocre!
Why would Zhang Ye, who had never lowered his standards, endorse their company? He did not even discuss the price? Of course it was because of Wu Zeqing!
Wu Mo felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his chest. He had finally solved the biggest problem in front of him. He was very confident in Zhang Ye. His aunt's reputation was still the greatest. He was very grateful. Although his aunt had said that she would not help, they were still relatives. Even if she did not say a word, just standing there was the same attitude. She was still thinking about her nephew. However, with a sudden thought, Wu Mo felt that he should be thanking Teacher Zhang Ye. If it were any other Peking University lecturer, it would have been fine, but who was Zhang Ye? Who didn't know Zhang Ye's position in Peking University? He was very independent. Besides, the education industry was not Zhang Ye's main occupation. Zhang Ye did not care if he did or not. Instead, Peking University needed him. He heard that even Great Master Nan's Chinese department was fighting to hire him. Hence, Zhang Ye's decision was clearly not bootlicking. This was because Zhang Ye did not need anything from Wu Zeqing. He did not need to do this!
When Wu Mo thought of this, Wu Zeqing was naturally aware of it as well.
