Peninsula Asteroid

"..."

Hearing what Pei Xiuzhi said, Chi Jingyuan was also slightly stunned.

Bae Suzy has been busy working on her album these past two days. He doesn't have much time, so he hasn't contacted her much. He has never told her about his bad mood... The people around him, including Jingnan, felt it. Pei Xiuzhi actually saw it himself.

This woman is really smart...or in other words, she understands him.

Although Chi Jingyuan knew that this might be some kind of trick of this woman, what he said just now might be to pave the way for this sentence to move him... However, the effect was really good, and Chi Jingyuan was indeed quite happy. .

After all, regardless of what people want to see her do...it does feel good to be cared about.

However... Chi Jingyuan thought about tomorrow's schedule and the recent tense atmosphere and limelight, and chose to postpone:

"Then I'd like to thank Suzy-senpai for your generosity in advance... But let's forget about tomorrow. The filming will probably last until midnight. Let's wait for a few days to finish the work."

"Jingyuan Xi, get ready, it's time for your shooting."

"OK.

…………

Pei Xiuzhi came to the set at noon the next day. She was very popular and greeted the others. After walking around, she naturally came to sit next to Chi Jingyuan and pulled up a stool. Her manager Naturally, he didn't get close and sat on the side chatting with Park Jae-hyun.

"Well..."

As soon as she sat down, she stretched a little deliberately, showing off her waist and figure exposed in the hem of her unbuttoned down jacket rather deliberately, and then looked over curiously: "Solo It’s really tiring to make your debut, you have to worry about everything… By the way, when will your solo be released?”

"Me?" After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then said directly without hiding anything: "According to the current progress, it will probably wait until early or mid-February."

After saying that, he glanced sideways and said, "What are you doing? Are you afraid of bumping into me?"

"Of course, who is not afraid of Jingyuan Oppa's solo... I heard that Jinying hyung didn't want to compete with your solo, so he considered rescheduling the trainee group's next comeback. They seem to be the same February is coming…”

Bae Suzy pursed her lips without feeling embarrassed at all, and then smiled: "Fortunately, I made my solo debut in mid-January, which perfectly avoided Kyungwon Oppa's strong period~"

When Chi Jingyuan heard her words, there was no movement on his face, but he shook his head in his heart.

Although she looked very proud when she smiled...but even though the words she used were a bit awkward, she still firmly called Minami Nai 'that trainee'.

Maybe she was really unhappy in her heart. She was being taken advantage of by a foreign junior who had never looked at her before. Although she didn't say it on the surface, it always made her resentful.

The same is probably true for Mingjing Nan. I heard that she was also troubled by Pei Xiuzhi.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know what Mingjing Nan called Pei Xiuzhi in private... but it probably wasn't a good word.

"Don't worry, we are not on the same track. Even if we collide head-on, there will be no impact." Looking at her smiling face. Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and said casually.

The two of them have completely different fans and audience groups. Although the popularity may overshadow each other, the essential results should not be affected too much.

And it also inadvertently showed Ji Kyung-won's confidence... Although Bae Suzy is very popular and can be called the little queen of advertising, MISSA's performance in terms of idols is not bad except for the sound source, but there is really nothing to mention. .

Bae Suzy couldn't help but roll her eyes as if she didn't see it. Chi Jingyuan thought of something and asked curiously: "By the way, I haven't heard the title song of your solo...I heard it's Jinying hyung again." Composing lyrics and music?”

"Do you want to listen?"

After hearing what he said, Pei Xiuzhi also became interested. Her eyes lit up and she took out her mobile phone from her bag, connected the headphones and handed it to Chi Jingyuan.

Chi Kyung-won and Bae Suzy each put on a pair of headphones and asked casually: "What's the name of the title song?"

"Yes No Maybe"

Soon, Pei Xiuzhi's familiar white voice sounded along with some avant-garde melody. Pei Xiuzhi became quiet and did not speak, and Chi Jingyuan also listened carefully.

"How's it going?" After the song ended, Pei Xiuzhi asked quickly and expectantly.

She prepared very carefully for this solo debut. Even though she was so busy during the filming of the TV series, she took the time to do a lot of practice. It can be said that it was very hard.

"I won't comment on the song for now...how long did it take you to record the high note in the middle?"

Unexpectedly, Chi Jingyuan took off his headphones and asked with a confused and curious look. Then he wiped his chin and praised with a thoughtful look: "You JYP planners are average, your art is average, and Cody is also average." Average…I didn’t expect the tuner’s quality to be quite good.”

"But what about the live broadcast? The sound engineer can't work on site, so we can't turn on the microphone all the time... I asked why Twice has this bad habit, it turns out that the seniors..."

"ah!"

When Pei Xiuzhi heard this, his expression changed instantly. The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes also showed murderous intent.

Even if she is as cunning as she is, she still has pain points in her heart... One of the biggest pain points is that she debuted in a hurry and did not practice for too long. Coupled with her own limited talent, the abilities of idols in this industry, especially singing, are very average.

She still can't forget the look of disgust and confusion Chi Jingyuan inadvertently showed under her deliberate observation when they collaborated on the recording of "Some" together.

I dislike her because she doesn't have the feeling when she sings with a big white voice, and her emotional expression is never adequate.

The doubts are about how she made her debut and how she got such a good reputation at this level...

She could tell at a glance what this man was thinking...and she can't forget it until now.

The memories of the past came back to him, and when he heard such a yin and yang comment again, Pei Xiuzhi was instantly furious. He gritted his teeth and glared at Chi Jingyuan angrily, pursed his lips, and crossed his hands in front of him to make a big 'X' , said categorically:

"The agreement to drink is void! The agreement to touch is also void!"

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Why are you still so angry?"

"Go to hell! Go tell the truth to that trainee of yours!"

………………

Although she canceled the agreement to drink and touch her in anger, Bae Suzy was a mature woman after all, and her anger did not last long, and things soon returned to normal on the surface.

Although she knew that Chi Jingyuan was in a bad mood these past two days, she, like Ming Jingnan, did not say anything to comfort her. Everything was as usual.

It also made Chi Jingyuan feel quite comfortable.

After filming the afternoon scenes, the leading actors began to practice together and record the COVER video for "TT" in the room prepared by the crew.

When we made this viewing agreement and said that we would dance "TT", everyone almost guessed that this agreement would definitely be achieved, so actors including Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na had practiced it in private. Although their dancing level was average, But it also looks stylish.

As for Ji Kyung-won, Bae Suzy and Yook Sungjae, the three idols who are their own idols, let alone them. If you can't learn the gymnastics dance like "TT" after watching it several times, you should change careers as soon as possible.

Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook would definitely be embarrassed if they danced this cute and cute girl group dance alone... But it doesn't matter if so many people dance together. The TV series is so popular and the ratings are so high that fans also like to watch it. , of course they can't be shy.

Originally, Chi Jingyuan was planning to see if he could dance Ming Jingnan's part in "TT", but as the male lead, he must be in the C position, and there is only one person in the C position of Twice... Lin Nayuan.

"I'm like TT"

“Just like TT”

While Chi Jingyuan was posing in such a cute pose that left people speechless, he was complaining in his heart that Lin Nalian was really a royal, and she was her C-part from beginning to end.

After finally recording it, and after agreeing that the cover video will be released on YouTube when the eleventh or twelveth episode of "Goblin" is released next week, everyone dispersed and entered the rest time, while Chi Jingyuan was pulled into the babysitter by Park Jaehyun. In the car, we talked about endorsement matters.

"These are the endorsement contracts you have recently confirmed. Jingyuan, take a look..."

After getting on the bus, Park Jae-hyun handed over a large stack of compiled information. The thick stack surprised Chi Jingyuan:

"so much?"

"Well, I told you a lot yesterday. These are all high-quality endorsement invitations that fit your status after being screened by SM. If you didn't screen them, the information and contracts alone would probably bury you all. Go in."

Park Jae-hyun also smiled when he saw his surprised look. As he spoke, he asked jokingly: "Jingyuan, what do you think the average market price of your advertising endorsements for a year is now?"

"Average market price per year? 800 million? 900 million?"

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and asked tentatively.

The celebrity's endorsement fee itself will fluctuate with the individual's popularity and popularity, as well as market demand. Chi Jingyuan's personal endorsement fee was the highest after the broadcast of "The Heirs" in 2013. At that time, it was about 500 million in the country. About 600 million.

Since Park Jae-hyun said yesterday that it has increased a lot, he feels that eight or nine billion is about the same... Peninsula itself has a small market, and the endorsement fee is not comparable to other overseas countries. This number is already the top price.

"After the actor and comedian Lee Kwang Soo xi became popular with the variety show "Running Man", his current market price is about 400 million per year for a single endorsement."

However, Park Jae-hyun laughed when he heard this, and did not reveal the answer directly. Instead, he talked about the market situation in the industry: "Lee Hye-ri, who just finished filming the TV series "Reply 1988" in 2016, has seen a sharp rise in popularity. Industry news is that she has received many awards within a year. He has received 13 endorsements, with a total advertising fee of more than 6 billion, and the average price of each one is about 500 million. "

"According to the market price I know, the current price for popular first-line actors or local advertising endorsements by popular artists in Peninsula is almost the same. There has not been much change in recent years... The highest price so far was in 2014. After "My Love from the Star" became popular in Asia, the endorsement prices of the two leading actors Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun have increased significantly to one billion won, which is already the highest on the peninsula."

"And because of market factors, this price has not been broken for almost three years."

"And now that "Goblin" has become a big hit, coupled with the popularity of my idol, the support of fans, and the long-term good image, Jingyuan, you..."

Park Jae-hyun looked at Chi Jingyuan, paused with a surprised expression, and said: "Your recent single advertising endorsement is worth between 1.2 billion and 1.5 billion, which has broken the upper limit of artist endorsement prices that has not changed for several years... and It’s still marketable but priceless, and almost every competing industry has brands vying for it.”

"I have talked with the presidents of some advertising companies. The reason why it is so high is partly because of the explosion of "Goblin" and your popularity. In addition, your identity as the spokesperson of GUCCI in the Asia-Pacific region also plays a big role in making your If the image is in line with international standards in the eyes of many brands, the price will naturally be higher.”

"Qingjia?" Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised when he heard this... He knew that "Ghost" was very popular, and he also knew that he was very popular. He had always been very popular in the advertising market, but he didn't expect that it would rise to such a high position all of a sudden.

Break the limit.

Looking at Chi Jingyuan's slightly surprised expression, Park Jae-hyun pointed to the information in his hand and said with great familiarity: "BONJUK porridge, KB Kookmin Bank, KANU coffee, TERRA beer, Jeju Samdasu, banana milk... These are all newly accepted advertisements, none of which are less than 1.2 billion won, and the average is mostly around 1.4 billion.”

"The renewal prices of many brands such as LETTO Duty Free Shop, KGC Ginseng Corporation, Georgia Gotica Coffee, etc. have also increased significantly to the market price."

"Not only your personal one, but also the SK enmove Korean engine oil commercial with Lee Dong Wook xi, and several commercials with Suzy xi..."

He looked at Chi Jingyuan, thinking of how busy he had been during this period, and couldn't help but sigh: "Jingyuan, besides filming movies, you are also busy working on an album in the company. You don't even know how popular you are recently... If you are not an American nationality , you must be the publicity ambassador for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.”

"Forget it..." Chi Jingyuan chuckled when he heard this, and waved his hands happily in his heart: "I'm not very interested."

"Ha." Seeing Chi Jingyuan's reserved expression, Park Jae-hyun also smiled, and then shook his head: "Those information have already been confirmed, you can just take a look and understand... There are mainly a few endorsements today. SM hasn’t decided yet, you need to make your own decision.”

"Brother, tell me." Chi Jingyuan sat up straight and looked like he was listening carefully.

“The first is the invitation from cosmetics. After screening, there are only two left, namely Innisfree and Sulwhasoo, two skin care brands under the Amorepacific Group... Most of the users of similar products are women, and you are A great image among women is something they value very much.”

"Innisfree is a mid-to-low-end brand. Lin YoonAxi, who you are very familiar with, has been the spokesperson of this brand for many years. The characteristics of this brand of cosmetics are natural, healthy, and simple..."

"Then there is Sulwhasoo, which is one of Amore's most high-end brands and currently does not have a male spokesperson. Compared to the former, Sulwhasoo's brand is more high-end and more in line with your positioning, and the endorsement price is higher..."

While Park Jae-hyun introduced the two brands in detail, he handed over two pieces of information, while Chi Jingyuan flipped through the information and listened carefully.

Soon he roughly understood the pros and cons of the two invitations. Sulwhasoo's brand was of a higher quality and the endorsement price was higher, while Innisfree could cooperate with Yoona sunbae.

Is there any need to think about it? Of course I choose...

"Just Sulwhasoo."

Chi Jingyuan made the decision easily.

"Okay... I actually think Sulwhasoo is more suitable for you, but I don't recommend signing a long-term contract because you have been paying attention to some well-known brands in Europe and the United States. According to what I know, after GUCCI's title upgrade today, we are very Cooperation is possible.”

"Then sign for one year."

"I understand...and here comes the key point today. Your contract to endorse all LG Electronics products will expire in April this year. LG is currently actively seeking to renew the contract."

Before Chi Jingyuan could ask, he continued to introduce the situation:

"LG has been working very happily with us since 2014. Over the years, Samsung has spent a lot of money to replace many spokespersons and invested considerable publicity resources, while LG Electronics relies on you alone, but it has not fallen behind in publicity and exposure. The wind is even worse, so LG is very satisfied with you and is very eager to renew the contract. "

"Samsung has also seen the value of you through the competition with LG over the years. In addition, the recent popularity of "Goblin" has once again swept Southeast Asia. They directly launched an invitation not long ago, offering 35 billion won to invite you and Pei Suzy, the 'ghost CP' pair, endorses Samsung Electronics' full range of electronic products including the Galaxy series of smartphones, ultra-high definition (UHD) TVs, tablets and refrigerators... Among them, Suzy xi, well, is your match, your price It accounts for the vast majority, about 30 billion to 32 billion.”

“The last time the price was so high was in 2014, when Samsung paid 28 billion won to package the ‘Double Sage CP’ of ‘Sing You’ and achieved very good results. This time it is the same trick again, but the price is much higher. "

"You know, 2014 was when Hallyu was at its hottest. The mainland market was very large, so the price was so high... Now that you can no longer go to the mainland market, the market price of your endorsement is still so high, which is enough to prove that the brand is committed to You’re optimistic.”

"When LG heard about it, they directly said that no matter how much Samsung offered, they would be higher than the other side, or even much higher... It can be said to be very sincere."

"But..." As he spoke, Park Jae-hyun changed the topic: "However, due to some serious internal problems in recent years, LG Electronics has significantly lagged behind in development, lagging behind Samsung in all aspects... This is all due to you. One person can't change it, so although they are very sincere, their development prospects are doubtful, so they still need to think carefully. "

"..."

Park Jae-hyun spoke very thoroughly, and Chi Jingyuan fell into deep thought after listening.

He has had a great time cooperating with LG over the years. The other party respects and values ​​​​him very much. Regardless of financial factors, he can even directly specify the partners for cooperation with whom he wants to cooperate with LG for some small advertisements or sub-product advertisements. Invite whoever you want, and the treatment must not be too high.

When it comes to Samsung, I don’t know what the situation will be... In fact, at his level and with such a top brand, the impact of endorsement fees has become much smaller. What’s more important is that the brand can improve his personal image, and the brand Party’s level of attention.

However, what Park Jae-hyun said made sense, and Chi Jingyuan could also see that LG's current development momentum was very average... which made him unable to make a decision for the moment.

"Let me think about it again." After thinking for a while, Chi Jingyuan decided to think about it some more.

"Okay, then..." Park Jae-hyun didn't push him, but talked about some other important things. The two of them kept talking for nearly two hours before they came to an end. Finally, he looked at his hands. After reading a large pile of information, he smiled and said with emotion:

"After this "Ghost", it can be said that you have endorsed the high-end brand Jingyuan in all walks of life throughout the peninsula. People will be able to see you almost everywhere in the future."

"I hope they won't get tired of my face... After all, no matter how beautiful it is, you will get tired of it if you see it too much." Chi Jingyuan also laughed and patted his cheek narcissistically.

"Haha..." Park Jae-hyun also smiled casually, looked at the last few documents in his hand, and his expression suddenly became cheerful:

"Finally, let me tell you some good news... In addition to the local market, I have also received several overseas endorsements recently. Guess how much the total endorsement fees are...

The total endorsement fees of the six brands are close to 80 billion won, the highest of which is the ice cream brand Haagen-Dazs. They chose you to replace Kim Soo-hyun as their new spokesperson, and directly offered you a sky-high price of 24 billion won, just for this one Almost comparable to most advertising contracts here on the peninsula..."

"So many?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he was surprised and a little unbelievable.

"Well, the price of overseas endorsements is far higher than that of local ones. It can even be said that they are not on the same level at all... you know that."

"If your income this year and just the figures from advertising and endorsements were exposed, it would probably shock the entire entertainment industry."

Even Chi Jingyuan, who didn't value money very much, couldn't help but compare the numbers of these two completely different painting styles. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"I still have to go overseas..."

…………

After noon on the second day, without breakfast or lunch, Ryu Jimin, who was very hungry with an empty stomach, followed the room director Lee Mi-joo and several other senior trainees to the new SM building that she had longed for.

I couldn't help but curiously look at the flow of people around the decoration. I got on the elevator and followed Li Meizhu to the makeup and lounge on the seventh floor.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard a rustle of voices standing up and saying hello. She looked up and saw one beautiful and pure face after another:

"Hanihasay..."
