President Chen!
The boss of a company.
He wanted to recruit endorsements.
This was the information revealed by the director. Endorsements were the main source of income for celebrities. Although they also made money from filming, the real source of income was still advertising endorsements. Many celebrities' salary was only a few hundred thousand per film, but their endorsement fees were as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
This was an endorsement.
Moreover, endorsements could also increase the celebrity's fame. Once a lot of advertisements were successful, the celebrity would also become more famous. Then, there would be a continuous stream of endorsements.
Every celebrity couldn't be popular for a lifetime. Therefore, it was best to earn as much money as possible when they were the most popular. This was the way of the king.
Every endorsement was an opportunity for a celebrity.
Big celebrities could endorse big brands, small celebrities could endorse small brands or become hosts to make money.
This President Chen had the aura of an entrepreneur. He sat there without saying a word, but he gave people a feeling of superiority. It made people feel that they couldn't reach him.
"Hello, President Chen." Wang Bing also greeted him very politely.
"En!" President Chen nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
"Bing Bing, hurry up and give President Chen a toast." The director gave Wang Bing a look.
"Director, I drove out." Wang Bing said.
"It's okay. I'll ask someone to send you back later." The director said.
"No, I still have to send my friend back." Wang Bing said.
"Hmph!" President Chen snorted heavily and then drank a glass. That was white wine. He drank it just like that. Moreover, he drank it himself. This showed that he was very dissatisfied.
"Bing Bing, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see that President Chen drank it?" The director gave Wang Bing a look again. Now, Wang Bing understood. The director wanted to pull him into his TV series. This way, he could also get sponsorships. As for the endorsement, it was just a side benefit.
President Chen obviously didn't agree to it. Therefore, he hoped that Wang Bing could use a honey trap to make President Chen compromise.
Wang Bing hated this kind of thing the most.
"Director, I am an actor. My job is to act, not to accompany you. You said that you wanted me to come here to discuss the script, so I came here to give you face. In the end, this is what you want me to do?" Wang Bing looked at the director with dissatisfaction.
"Bing Bing, what are you saying? What do you mean by I'm asking you to do this? I'm asking you to expand your social circle. How can a person with such a high status like President Chen be invited so easily? It's such a good opportunity, yet you don't know how to grasp it. I think it's about time for your future career. " The director's words were both threatening and true. The entertainment industry was far more complicated than one could imagine. If you didn't have a backer, it would be impossible for you to survive in the entertainment industry. If you had a few big backers, there would be people looking for you no matter what kind of movie you were shooting. Moreover, no one would dare to cause trouble for you during filming.
Otherwise, during filming, some people could relax and still have a lot of face. However, some people didn't even have a place to sit and had to be ordered around by others.
These backers were usually entrepreneurs, big bosses, or people with status and status.
For example, in a singing competition, although the four judges were all judges, as long as one of the female superstars didn't like someone, the other judges wouldn't dare to give her a pass.
Because she had a superpower backing her.
"I rely on my acting skills to act, not my face." Wang Bing was also a little dissatisfied.
Bang!
President Chen slammed his wine glass on the table. "I'm not eating. Forget about the sponsorship. Don't contact me in the future."
After saying that, he wanted to leave. His sidekick also stood up and wanted to leave.
"President Chen, calm down. Calm down." The director hurriedly stood up and said to President Chen with a face full of flattery. Although he was also a director, he wasn't Chen Kaige or Li An. When it came to filming, everyone would invest money. He didn't lack sponsors at all.
He was just an ordinary director. He had to pull all the stops he had to make.
The truly famous directors wouldn't even add any advertisements in the movie because it would be disliked by the audience. However, these small- and medium-sized directors were different. If they didn't pull in sponsors, the movie wouldn't be able to be filmed at all.
Therefore, they could only insert some advertisements in the movie.
Some directors even directly found a newcomer to act in the movie. Then, the male character had to pull in sponsors. As long as you could pull in sponsors, you could act regardless of whether you had learned acting or not. As for the female stars, they had to sleep with you. You didn't have to have good acting skills, but you had to know how to do it in bed.
Many drifters in Beijing ended up taking this path in order to become famous.
Especially those women who wanted to become famous. They didn't care about anything anymore. Some second and third-tier stars even had a price tag on them. Such things existed in Beijing.
"President Chen, don't lower yourself to her level. She's still young and doesn't know any better." The director hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
Xiatian didn't stand on ceremony. He directly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Wang Bing really admired Xiatian. No matter what the situation was, he could still eat. It was as if everything that was happening around him had nothing to do with him. He watched as Xiatian started eating by himself.
The surrounding people all looked at Xiatian strangely. Not only was Xiatian eating, but he was also turning the table to eat.
Under normal circumstances, people didn't come to this kind of gathering to eat. They came to discuss things. Even if they wanted to eat, they had to be polite before eating. However, Xiatian started eating without saying anything.
When others ate, they also tried not to turn the table if they could.
Because turning the table would make you look greedy and uncultured, no one would turn the table. However, Xiatian actually turned the table while eating. Instantly, everyone looked at him unhappily.
Xia Xia completely ignored their gazes and started to eat in big mouthfuls.
"Bing Bing, why is your friend so uncultured?" The director couldn't say anything about Wang Bing, but he really couldn't stand Xiatian.
"He came out with me to eat. What's wrong with him eating now?" After Wang Bing finished speaking, she also started eating with Xiatian. At this moment, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she felt very happy.
She finally understood Xiatian's feelings. So what if others don't like me? I'm here to eat. If you don't like me, I can only watch.
"Hmph! What the f * ck is this? "President Chen directly threw the wine glass on the ground. The glass shattered everywhere.
