“In addition, your reputation in the industry is indeed good. You’re reliable and clear-headed. The most important thing is to be clear-headed,” Junjie said to Litao. “You know that Jiang Xun is our mentor. In fact, Jiang Xun is quite good and she is easy to work with. As long as you don’t cause any trouble and work with her properly, she’s the easiest artiste to cooperate with. That’s why I pay special attention to the character of my business partners. To avoid situations like what happened with ‘Get In Position, Shoot.”‘
“Don’t worry about that,” Litao promised. “I’ve never done such a thing. I’ve always been clean when it comes to making programs.”
“Of course. I’m only working with you because I trust you. Moreover, I asked Jiang Xun for her opinion on working with you first. I agreed because she didn’t mind sharing the stage with Su Youlan,” Junjie said.
These words really surprised Litao.
He was not even sure if Junjie’s words were true or if he was just using Jiang Xun as an excuse.
Did Junjie care so much about Jiang Xun’s opinion?
“I just said that lianc Xun is actually very easy to talk to.” Tuniie said. “As long
as we don’t hide it from her and deliberately cause trouble, she’ll be fine if we let her know in advance. Last time, for ‘In Position, Shoot,’ it was the director and the production team who caused trouble. They hid it from Jiang Xun and even made things difficult for her. That was why she attacked the production team. But when I mentioned the potential collaboration to Jiang Xun, informed her in advance, she had no issues at all.”
“What I mean is that if you have any new plans, I hope you can communicate with us immediately. Especially if it is related to Jiang Xun, you must make sure she knows. You don’t want any unpleasantness due to lack of communication, right?”
“Yes.” Litao nodded. “I understand your point. Don’t worry, I will definitely communicate with you first.”
However, he didn’t expect that after saying this for only a few days, there would really be a situation that needed to be communicated with Junjie.
“I didn’t expect this to happen either,” Litao pinched the corner of his eyes and said. “Because we are going to collaborate for a special period, we have already started to promote it. Many brands are optimistic about our collaboration, so they all came to look for us.”
“Yes.” Junjie was also in the same situation.
“Then, there’s one brand offering a very high price, but they have a request. They want to add another performing guest,” Litao said.
Junjie raised his eyebrows. “Who? It’s not related to Jiang Xun, is it?”
If it was related to Jiang Xun, it would put Jiang Litao in a difficult position. Before Litao could say anything, Junjie already figured out who it was. “Yes.” Litao nodded his head, his scalp tingling. “It’s Jiang Yuexi.”
“Which brand is so foolish? They’re even promoting Jiang Yuexi? With her limited capabilities, she’s already being criticized enough.” Junjie was stunned.
“It’s the Gu Corporation. Their shoe brand, Gushi, has hired Jiang Yuexi as the spokesperson,” Litao said. “However, I heard that on the surface, it sounds good. They hired Jiang Yuexi as the spokesperson, but in fact, they didn’t give Jiang Yuexi any endorsement fee at all. Jiang Yuexi doesn’t have much work coming in now, so she isn’t much better off than a small celebrity. Although Gushi’s reputation had collapsed, it’s not the kind of opportunity Jiang Yuexi’s level could endorse.”
Because of the collaboration between the two sides, Litao and Junjie had been in frequent contact.
As the communication increased, they got to know each other better.
The relationship between the two of them had also become quite good.
They both admired each other’s personality.
Therefore, Litao directly told Junjie some harmless gossip.
“But Jiang Yuexi is Gu Xiaoze’s fiancée, so the Gu family has to give Jiang Yuexi some benefits, so they gave her this endorsement. It sounds good, but in fact, they haven’t really paid Jiang Yuexi anything and let her endorse them for free.”
Junjie laughed. “The Gu family is quite a wealthy family. Why are they being so petty?”
“They have no choice. Famous artistes know about Gushi’s reputation and refuse to accept it for the sake of their image. There’s no difference between small celebrities and Jiang Yuexi. It would be better to endorse Jiang Yuexi directly and save a sum of endorsement fees. However, in that case, the Gu family is indeed petty.” They even wanted to save on this little endorsement fee, and it was towards their future daughter-in-law.
They were probably laughed at by many people.
“They’re providing sponsorship, but they want Jiang Yuexi to appear as a guest and have us arrange a supporting role for her,” Litao continued..
