Ralph walked around the set with Feng Yu. When Feng Yu got into the car, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you've already helped him a lot by giving him such a good contract. Why do you still want him to endorse your products?"
He was very suspicious. Had Robert Jr. helped his boss before? Otherwise, why would his boss help him so much?
Feng Yu smiled at Ralph. "You've worked for me for a long time. Have you ever seen me make a loss?"
Ralph said awkwardly, "Boss, I can understand about the contract. You're optimistic that the box office will be a big hit after the movie is released. You're afraid that they'll raise the price, and we can't change actors."
"But this endorsement is different. How can an actor of his level be qualified to endorse our products?"
Every product under Wind and Rain Holdings was a famous brand. Robert Jr. didn't even look like a model and was an actor with a bad record.
How could an actor with a salary of only five hundred thousand dollars accept the endorsement of a famous brand? In his opinion, even if Robert Jr. could accept endorsements, it would only be for fast food restaurants. The advertising fees wouldn't exceed one hundred thousand dollars a year.
But which brand under Wind and Rain Holdings was cheap? The stars he had worked with before, such as Johnny Depp and Matt Damon, were all A-list Hollywood stars.
Also, the stars he was working with now were either big stars in sports or in the film industry. Was Robert Jr. good enough?
Feng Yu patted Ralph's shoulder. "Don't be so excited. You can see what happened to Depp when we worked with him. Then, Depp became famous. How much money did we save? "
"Depp used to have negative news, but how many fans does he have now?"
Ralph couldn't believe it. "Boss, don't tell me you think that Robert Jr. will be as popular as Depp in the next few years?"
Feng Yu asked back, "Why not?"
Was there a need to ask why? Depp's movies had received good reviews, and there would be a few more movies released soon.
The difference between the two could be seen from their salaries. One was worth tens of millions, while the other was worth hundreds of thousands. The difference was many times greater!
"But, even if the boss is optimistic about his future, we shouldn't endorse him now. At least for now, he doesn't deserve to endorse our products. I firmly believe so."
"Hahaha, Ralph, I understand that you are thinking about the company. Did I say that I'll let him endorse my products now? "
Ralph was right to think from the company's point of view. Also, as the CEO of the company, he must be decisive.
"Not now? But what did you just say? "Ralph was confused.
"I said that I will give her the endorsement contract now, but the duration of the endorsement can be set after the release of" Iron Man ". I don't think he will object."
"Then why didn't you wait for 'Iron Man' to be released before signing the endorsement contract with him?" Ralph asked. At that time, it would be possible to see whether Robert Jr. would become famous.
"Do you think his endorsement fee will be so low after" Iron Man "grosses more than $500 million? Even if he agrees, his manager won't agree, and his family won't either. "
"It's better to give help in times of need than icing on the cake. This is an ancient Hua Xia proverb. It means giving a little help when someone is in trouble is more important than giving him a big help when he is in the limelight. "
"Think about it. What is the name of his character? Iron Man! Isn't it suitable for him to endorse our mechanical products or electronic products? You also said that his endorsement fee will not be high now, and it will save us a lot of money in the future. "
Robert Jr. will sign the endorsement fee without hesitation if he is paid 500,000 RMB a year. But five years later … No, two years later, he will also need to consider for a long time to pay 2 million a year.
His reputation will be different, and his value will be different.
Ralph lowered his head and pondered for a long time. "Boss, if we invest this sum of money, it will at least double after two years, right?"
"But you must consider that Robert Jr.'s endorsement fee will not only double in two years. Let's do this. Get your men to contact those actors with long-term contracts. If they are short of money, we can also sign a longer contract with them. "
"They will not have any negative news, and they will at most get some gossip. Let them endorse our products first, and it will increase their popularity. It will also help our movie's box office."
For the first movie, all the actors are not famous, and the box office might not do well. However, if the actor wasn't particularly famous but had a familiar face, people would think that he was a star.
Many celebrities had entered the entertainment industry from filming commercials and slowly became a superstar. Their salaries will be more than a hundred times higher than before!
"I will discuss with President Kameda. Do you have any specific products to endorse?"
"Wind and rain brand, Lenovo, G-Box, and maybe Songjiang Motors."
Ralph replied with a bitter face. "Boss, all the brands you mentioned are owned by Taihua Holdings, and we are only selling them on their behalf. Do you want to let them endorse Japan's AIWA? "
"No. AIWA's focus is on music, and this will not change. It is not suitable for them to endorse our products. That's all for now. You all should also consider what products they are suitable to endorse. You can discuss with them and inform Zong Qingxian or Liu Chuanzhi after you are done. I will let them know. "
Feng Yu laughed. He had forgotten that all the electronics and machinery brands are owned by Taihua Holdings.
It might seem like Feng Yu is making a loss now, but in the future, they will realize this is a stroke of genius.
They had signed long-term contracts with these big stars at a very low price. How much money had the company saved by doing this?
But now, many people will think the same as Ralph. They will feel this is not worth it. Time will prove everything, and Feng Yu will not explain too much.
Those who had mocked Feng Yu in the past will realize they are the laughing stock.
Feng Yu did not return home. He asked his driver to drive him to Wind and Rain Arena. Wind and Rain will be playing tonight, and it will be the second round of the playoffs against the Blazers.
Feng Yu heard Paul Allen is in LA and might be there to watch the match. Feng Yu is happy to see Paul Allen's team getting beaten by his own team.
