Senior Superstar

After finding two fun endorsements for a group of old fans, Li Shixin went to Lin Maggie's bedroom alone.

The news that the mobile phone was shut down during this period of time has accumulated a lot of business.

Whether it is WeChat or information, there are many invitations for commercial performances and endorsements.

Although most of them were second-tier brands and companies who saw the business potential of the old man and came to seek cooperation, but Li Shixin did not neglect at all. After starting the machine, no matter whether he was interested or not, he was very polite. Replied one by one.

Leaving aside Pengci, Li Shixin is still a person with a bottom line.

Touching porcelain is for development, there is no way. But now that he has gained some fame, he has to pay more attention to some things about himself.

As the saying goes, doing art is like being a man, which is true.

There may be thousands of ways to say that an artist is popular, such as hype, capital, or luck.

But if this artist can be popular for ten or twenty years, there must be only one way-to do a good job in business and at the same time do a good job in people.

Otherwise, in a place like the entertainment industry where farting can magnify you to the level of the ozone layer, people who don't know how to be human will fall down sooner or later.

Sooner or later, don't care how hot it is now.

After more than a dozen messages were sent out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

It just so happened that a group of old fans had already chatted, so Li Shixin greeted Lin Maggie and left Wu Ming's house together.

The little girl had been fostered at Wu Ming's house before, and only in the days when Wu Ming went to JDZ did the child hang out with the old man Zhang Mingrong for a while.

No matter how you say it, she is her own granddaughter by blood, and now that she is free, it is not appropriate to always leave the child with someone else.

But unexpectedly, when faced with Li Shixin's solicitation, the little girl Pianzi refused straight away.

He decisively rebelled on the grounds that no one would play with him after returning home with Li Shixin, and there were four sisters Chen Boshi, Su Sansan, Chen Yiyi and An Xiaoxiao at Wu Ming's house.

Thinking that if he stayed for two days, he must go to the capital, and he would not be able to stay at home for a few days, so Li Shixin had no choice but to give up and let the little girl herself.

In the next two days, Li Shixin took care of some chores in the studio.

Li Shixin now has a special status on Huaqi's side. He is said to be a contracted artist, but he still maintains An Xiaoxiao, Liu Xin, and Huaqi's three juniors, and has his own highly independent studio. But to say that he has left the Huaqi system, he still serves as the content director of the film and television company, and every movie is invested from Huaqi, and the official release also relies on Huaqi's channels.

As the end of the year was approaching, and the studio was on holiday, Zhang Shuo, together with the studio's finances, had already prepared the annual report of Li Shixin's studio.

Overall, the operation of the studio is good.

The three projects "That Rabbit", "Just Love" and "Strange She" are all making good profits. Only "Red Helmet", which had no sponsorship and no theater release, lost more than three million yuan.

However, compared to the experience accumulated by the animation post-production studio in the film "Red Helmet", the three million tuition fee is worth it.

The only shortcoming is the artist's profit.

For the whole of last year, Li Shixin paid a total of more than 29 million yuan to the contracted artists of An Xiaoxiao, Xu Ge, Liu Xin and Huaqi.

Among them, Xu Ge is the big head, and this guy's salary at Huaqi's side was not low. After the contract relationship was transferred to the studio, the original remuneration conditions were still implemented.

After the contract relationship was transferred to the studio, he starred in and served as the executive director and main role of three films, and received more than 12 million yuan in salary.

On An Xiaoxiao's side, although he didn't get the actual payment, Li Shixin also saved seven million yuan in the girl's salary card according to his previous plan.

As for Liu Xin, the contract between this guy and the previous Huaqi has entered the final year. In view of the fact that Liu Xin has been in a frozen state before, the commercial value has been greatly reduced, and the studio signed a new contract. In addition to the guaranteed annual salary of 4 million yuan, the supporting roles in the three films were paid a total of less than 2 million yuan.

Huaqi No. 3 Elementary School currently has the lowest salary among the artists in the studio, and the total salary of the three of them is only more than two million.

In terms of salary, compared with the current salary standard in the entertainment industry, it is actually not high.

Although Xu Ge's popularity has declined now, he is still a second-tier star. If you are just an actor, you can easily earn 23 million a year in other companies.

And An Xiaoxiao, with her current popularity and conditions, would be a top-notch actress in a powerful brokerage company, and her salary should be calculated in units of at least 100 million.

As for Liu Xin, it is true that it is cold now. But in fact, it wasn't too cold. Rao was tortured several times by Li Shixin, and was hidden by Hua Qi for a whole year, and it wasn't that he didn't have any fans. It is true that Li Shixin had a wave of social deaths before, but he was only criticized by the society morally and sanctioned by the company. The major mainstream channels were not actually closed to him.

With an annual salary of less than five million yuan, in fact, Liu Xin has already lost his temper at the hands of Huaqi.

If you are willing to operate, it is impossible to return to the top stream and become an idol, and it is still stable to enter the second line.

It's just this operation that won't work with anyone else.

Not for anything else, but because of the conflict with Li Shixin back then, Li Shixin's popularity is really too high now.

Only with Lord Xin can there be a chance to stand up.

This point is clear to Li Shixin, and it is estimated that Liu Xin can also figure it out.

Not to mention Huaqi's third primary school, it's still too young. Good seedlings are true, but Kean's small IQ is E, self-discipline is F, and other attributes are all S+. Li Shixin can only give the three children a B+ in terms of hardware and talent.

It needs continuous training and internal strength.

In view of the situation of several of his contracted artists, except for Xu Ge and Huaqi No. 3 Elementary School, Li Shixin did not let Chen Andang contact him for endorsements or commercial performances this year.

Even Xu Ge's several endorsements and several events he attended were left over from the Huaqi period and were not under the management of the studio.

It's not suitable for An Xiaoxiao to let this girl get involved in the entertainment circle prematurely, and Li Shixin wants to keep her in his hands for a while longer. Liu Xin can now receive third-rate endorsements and commercial performances, but once he lowers his value and suddenly gets into the mud from the top of the sky, this person will be considered useless in the future. There is no possibility of turning over. There are some commercial performances at Sanxiao, but most of the studio's own channels are public welfare, and there is no income.

Under this strategy, the artist's commercial profit of the entire studio is almost zero.

After learning about the income and expenditure of the studio, Li Shi is confident that he has a bottom line.

The original purpose of setting up a studio was not to make money, but to make it easier for me to support myself.

As long as he doesn't lose money and doesn't need to make money to make up for it, Li Shixin is happy.

On January 22, Li Shixin also gave the finance and Zhang Shuo a holiday.

Another whole year of waiting in the children's center, working as a security guard and a universal worker, who has already regarded the studio as his home, bought some things for the New Year, and sealed 2,000 yuan each After receiving the red envelope, Li Shixin took An Xiaoxiao together and boarded the plane to the capital.

In economy class.

An Xiaoxiao wore a peaked cap and a mask, only showing a pair of big watery eyes.

Seeing that the stewardess was arranging the luggage rack, the little girl started to roll her eyes.

After carefully looking at the passengers sitting beside him, packing up their belongings, or turning on their mobile phones for the last call before takeoff, An Xiaoxiao shook her head in disappointment.

"Master, take a look for Xiaoxiao with your vicious eyes, which one of these people seems to be able to leave the plane meal?"

Faced with An Xiaoxiao's question, Li Shixin shook his head.

"It doesn't look like either."

"Xiao Xiao thinks so too."

Nodding deeply, An Xiaoxiao decisively pressed the call button and called the stewardess.

"Hello miss, what do you need?"

Looking at the fat face that seemed to be a size smaller than the mask, the stewardess smiled sweetly.

An Xiaoxiao frowned and took off her mask. Under the astonishing gaze of the stewardess, she stretched out her white and tender fingers, and lifted her chin at once.

Leaning over and looking at the flight attendant with flushed cheeks, An Xiaoxiao lowered her voice, and blew into the flight attendant's ear with a slightly magnetic milky voice.

"Miss, there is nothing else. I just want to ask you, has anyone told you today that you look so good-looking?"

"ah"

Faced with An Xiaoxiao's teasing, the stewardess blushed to the base of her neck.

"Not yet, not yet."

"Then you look really good-looking. There's nothing else to do, go get busy."

"Thank you, thank you."

In An Xiaoxiao's domineering president-like evil smile, the stewardess covered her face and walked away as if fleeing.

On the side, Li Shixin frowned.

"What kind of trick is this?"

Facing Li Shixin's gaze of "I'm afraid you're not mentally retarded", An Xiaoxiao frowned.

"I want her to fall in love with me before the plane takes off, so that when I ask her for more plane meals, she will have no reason to refuse me!"

The old man slapped you to death, you scumbag!

Just as Li Shixin was rubbing his temples, thinking about how to humanely destroy the evil around him without breaking the law, the stewardess who had just walked away walked back through the long aisle.

"Hi, hello. Ms. An, Mr. Li. There are seats available in business class on this flight. Please, please follow me."

"Oh?"

Looking at the blushing stewardess, An Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.

Lowering her voice again, she smiled evilly, leaned over,

"Miss, so... can I ask for some more airline meals later?"

"Yes, yes. But before that, Mr. Li, can you sign for me? I like you very much. You look more energetic than in your works."

drop!

Received the applause value of [worship], 566 points!

Oh?

Seeing the evasive and shy little face of the stewardess, Li Shixin chuckled, and patted An Xiaoxiao, who opened his mouth wide and looked frustrated.

see?

Your master, after all, is still your master!

Sitting in the business class with a free upgrade, Li Shixin took out his mobile phone with a drink in his hand.

I took a picture of the business class environment and my economy class ticket.

"He is handsome, but sometimes he is really helpless."

The stinky man edited a post and posted it on Weibo along with the photo.

the other side.

In the capital city, in a courtyard with two entrances.

"Do you ever remember, joy, sorrow, old age, sickness, life and death.

Not to mention legendary.

Hate Qingqing on stage, or me and me off stage.

Not me and you.

The mundane world is insignificant, and the will of God is boundless, separating you from me.

Heart-broken words are tapped, and the sound of wind and rain continues.

It seems like an old friend is coming."

On the old-fashioned record player, "Like an Old Man Comes" by Anita Mui is particularly tactful.

Under the two sycamore trees in the yard, Su Mei put down the gardening scissors in her hand while watching Li Shixin's Weibo, which she paid special attention to on the phone screen.

"Yu Nianen!"

"Hey! Here we come! What about my wife?"

"Get dressed and go."

Wearing an apron, with hands covered in flour, and carrying a rolling pin, Yu Nianen blinked.

"Where are you going?"

"Airport."

"ha?"

Glancing at her puzzled husband, Su Mei handed over the phone screen.

"Shixin has come to the capital again."

"What clothes to change? Let's go!"

Holding the rolling pin, Yu Nianen grabbed a car key and rushed out of the yard.
