Chapter 104 Clash at the Signing Ceremony
In order to expand its influence.
PepsiCo specially hosted a grand signing ceremony.
They spent a lot of money to invite reporters from various media outlets to come and cover the event.
At the signing ceremony.
At first, the atmosphere was very good.
When asked a question, Wang Yihan answered.
In an orderly manner.
After all, they were all paid to come and show their support.
However, unsurprisingly, an accident still occurred.
Many reporters from the Mango TV network have also infiltrated the area.
The questions were also very pointed: "People outside say that your Pepsi contract this time is for two years and ten million, which is already the highest price among mainland singers."
But some people say you lack experience and don't have enough work, and that you're being promoted by capital.
Do you think you deserve this price?
Sister Hua, who had been accompanying them backstage the whole way, became anxious.
Why are there still people causing trouble like this?
However, as a top agent, she quickly calmed down.
And the following arrangements were made.
"Xiao Wang, you need to go and communicate with the person in charge at Pepsi right away, and tell them to kick these troublemakers out as soon as possible."
"Yes." Xiao Wang was her assistant, steady and reliable.
"Xiao Li, take a few people to the scene. If the reporters ask some really sharp questions that Wang Yihan doesn't know how to answer, just cause trouble from below. If he answers appropriately, then cheer him on from below."
Xiao Li, the team leader in charge of security, immediately selected a few tall and burly men and led them forward.
"Sister Hua, what about me?" The young assistant, He Yu, was a little at a loss.
She was a recent college graduate and a relative from Sister Hua's hometown, so they knew each other well. She was assigned to Wang Yihan as her personal assistant to help with some errands.
"You just stay here obediently." Sister Hua's words brooked no argument.
Just then, Wang Yihan's calm voice came from the front desk:
Whether it's worth it or not isn't up to me to decide; it's up to the market and the brand.
The fact that Pepsi dared to sign me means they saw my value.
All I can do is use sales volume, popularity, and word-of-mouth to make these ten million yuan worthwhile!
"Great!~" "Well said!" "Pepsi really hit the jackpot by signing him!"...
Some people below applauded in support.
Those who know, know.
Wang Jinhua, backstage, breathed a sigh of relief.
This kid's eloquence is unbelievable for a celebrity.
They do resemble the debaters in those big debates at universities.
Eloquent and persuasive.
It can turn a bad thing into a good thing.
After a moment of contemplation, Wang Jinhua immediately summoned her assistant, He Yu.
"Sister Hua, what's up?" He Yu's eyes were full of desire to do something.
"Go and call Lao Wang back, and tell him that he doesn't need it anymore. He'll understand what I mean," Wang Jinhua said.
"Okay, I'll go right away." He Yu didn't hesitate or ask any more questions, and ran ahead with small steps.
The front platform.
The conflict continues.
A reporter from Mango TV, whose first scheme failed, came up with another: "Another top-tier singer just signed with Coca-Cola during the same period, and you immediately signed with Pepsi. Are you declaring war on them? Everyone says you're stepping on your seniors to get ahead." (Jay Chou had just switched from Pepsi to Sprite, a brand under Coca-Cola.)
Wang Yihan was internally screaming, "Me? I climbed to the top by stepping on Jay Chou?"
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
You really have the nerve to say such things just to fabricate lies and smear me.
Is there any comparison between these?
Jay Chou made 40 million a year when he switched from Pepsi to Coca-Cola.
With a smile still on his face, he said, "I respect every senior and every brand's choice. I signed with Pepsi because our philosophies align, not to go against anyone. Music and the market are about the work itself, not about putting down anyone."
The response remained appropriate.
Now, the reporters from Hunan TV are in a bit of a bind.
Damn it, why is this guy so hard to kill?!
It seems the KPIs won't be met.
"Alright, that concludes today's signing ceremony. Please leave in an orderly fashion, reporters and media friends." The Pepsi representative finally realized what was happening, grabbed the microphone, and announced the end of the ceremony.
He apologized to Wang Yihan while cursing under his breath.
Those gatekeepers can't even keep a proper watch on the gate, letting all these shady characters in. Looks like they don't want to work here anymore.
We'll teach them a lesson when we get back.
Wang Yihan didn't intend to make a fuss about it.
It was a mistake at work.
They're everywhere.
As long as it wasn't intentional, it's fine.
Just as I was about to say something.
But Wang Jinhua stopped him.
He winked at He Yu, Wang Yihan's assistant.
He Yu quickly and cleverly pulled Wang Yihan aside: "Brother Han, let's go and rest first. Sister Hua will handle things here."
also.
He didn't think much of it.
Follow the assistant to the lounge to rest.
The door closed.
The assistant poured tea, handed out water and towels, then said mysteriously, "Brother Han, were you just saying to forget about it?"
"Yes, they didn't do it on purpose," Wang Yihan said matter-of-factly.
The assistant smiled and said, "Brother Han, you're too kind. Kind people can't get by in the entertainment industry."
"How so?" He really didn't know as much about this as a junior assistant.
He Yu had worked for his distant aunt Wang Jinhua for several years, so he knew quite a bit about this.
He explained to him, "There's a very good-natured senior in the industry, a big star, but he's always very approachable on set. Even if someone offends him, he doesn't mind. Guess what happened next?"
Wang Yihan guessed, "Very popular?"
He Yu smiled mysteriously: "No! Quite the opposite."
"How so?" Wang Yihan asked, intrigued.
"After everyone got used to it, they gradually stopped taking him seriously," He Yu revealed the answer.
Wang Yihan suddenly realized.
It seems that sometimes celebrities putting on airs is a form of self-protection?
Is this just human nature?
Been taught a lesson.
There's a lot to learn in the entertainment industry.
I need to learn.
Soon.
Wang Jinhua returned with a smile.
"I took the opportunity to secure some benefits for you."
"Pepsi will promise to increase your GG advertising in subways, buses, and the CBD, which will boost your popularity."
"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Hua," Wang Yihan said sincerely.
This agent was definitely the right choice.
"Don't worry about it. Don't feel bad that I took too much when it comes time to settle the income." Sister Hua joked.
"No way!" Wang Yihan said firmly.
This money is rightfully theirs to earn.
"Haha... Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Wang Jinhua was in a very good mood.
The artist in front of me, who just signed with the company, has already made a lot of money.
Making money is naturally a pleasant experience.
After the celebration banquet.
Wang Yihan then turned back home.
Wang Jinhua specially arranged for a driver to pick her up and drop her off.
At my doorstep.
Zhang Hanyun was already waiting there.
The car stopped.
She helped the slightly tipsy Wang Yihan out of the car and thanked the driver.
Then he helped him walk home.
"Why did you drink so much?" The tone was a mix of complaint and concern.
Wang Yihan patted her hand: "These things are unavoidable in the entertainment industry, but don't worry, it won't happen many more times."
Right now, he's not strong enough.
Later, when you achieve success and fame, you will gradually reach the top.
Even if he's holding a drink, everyone will rush to toast him.
