I Can Meet with Dead Scientists-Chapter 318: Zhang 191: Launching Sales! (9.8K)_2
"The promotional channel isn't TV, but online trading platforms; we just need a fitting photo."
"USTC?"
Zhang Guangfei was slightly taken aback, then realized something and asked:
"USTC, the one associated with Ke Da Xunfei?"
Xiaochen nodded:
"That's right, it's them."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guangfei fell into deep thought.
His daughter, Zhang Sile, had excellent grades, passing the preliminary exams of seven domestic media universities over the years, eventually enrolling in the Central Academy of Drama.
After graduating from Central Academy of Drama, she chose to study abroad for a master's degree.
During this time, Zhang Guangfei and his wife missed their daughter and visited her abroad many times.
Due to the language barrier, he frequently used the Ke Da Xunfei translator, leaving a deep impression on him.
The gadget was handy, so naturally Zhang Guangfei had done some basic research on it.
For instance, he knew Ke Da Xunfei was a publicly listed company, with shares held by USTC.
Online, there are both critics and fans.
Currently, it's valued at over a hundred billion, with a stock price that doesn't fluctuate much.
Thus, upon hearing the word USTC, he instinctively thought of Ke Da Xunfei.
Seeing that Zhang Guangfei seemed familiar with USTC, Xiaozhang continued:
"Teacher Zhang, there is an official company seal added on the fax, and the company has verified it; it is indeed a subsidiary under USTC."
"You might not go online often and are not up-to-date with some recent news."
"About a month ago, USTC held a live cockroach extermination event."
"It was very effective, dominating the hot searches for a whole day, and the discussion also set a record for this year."
"Moreover, the product positioning they offered is a mid-to-high-end extermination product, which shouldn't greatly affect your public persona..."
Before he could finish, Zhang Guangfei waved his hand:
"Let's not talk about personas. I'm just a regular actor, no need to build any persona—even the fact that I'm privately selling tea, right?"
The tea selling mentioned by Zhang Guangfei wasn't some euphemism for a special trade, but the business venture he started years ago with actor Gao Ming:
He and Gao Ming both loved tea, brewing a pot for an afternoon chat.
So the two decided to open a tea plantation together.
However, they didn't sell those unregulated teas like the three-no products sold by Mr. Yuan, but the standard Fuding White Tea.
This was a normal entrepreneurial move without franchise stores or WeChat promotions by tea salesgirls.
At least on the surface, it was much better than those celebrities who make money by opening franchise restaurants.
Then Zhang Guangfei thought for a moment.
Out of trust in Ke Da Xunfei, he directly asked:
"Xiaochen, what are their requirements and price?"
Xiaochen turned over the fax page and pointed at it, saying:
"The requirements are pretty standard for endorsements. The product seems to be rushing to launch, so mainly they need you to take headshots and other endorsement pictures."
"As for the price... it's 400,000 for two years."
"400,000 for two years?"
Zhang Guangfei repeated the figure, amazed:
"That high?"
Xiaochen nodded, looking quite pleased as well:
"That's right, we've confirmed it with them, and there are no issues with the figure."
As everyone knows.
In the mainland... or global entertainment industry, celebrities' income mainly has three sources:
Primary job, side business, and endorsements.
The primary job refers to actors filming TV series or movies, or singers' concerts and album sales.
Side businesses include commercial performances, guest appearances on shows, and incomes from franchise stores or platforms like second-hand market sites—don't underestimate the latter; some celebrities earn millions annually on such platforms...
Finally, endorsements are straightforward but also show the most significant disparity in income.
For example, Brother Fa and Master Xing both have endorsement fees of 30 million a year, which is well-deserved given their achievements, and neither businesses nor audiences would object.
However, it's absurd for some fresh faces to demand 80 million...
Reba's endorsement fee is 17 million, while Sun Li's is 25 million.
All in all.
First-tier stars typically earn above ten million, nearly like printing money.
Yet this only applies to top-tier figures.
Below that tier, the drop in endorsement fees is as drastic as the A-shares market, with significant differences in each category, especially for veteran actors.
For example, the couple Fu Dishi—known for singing 'Wuliangchun's Radiance, the Aroma Charms the World for Three Thousand Years.'
Their current endorsement fee is only 600,000 for two years, and that's for both together appearing.
Another actor, He Zhengjun, who played Zhao Gang in 'Bright Sword,' has a two-year endorsement fee of 200,000.
Even this is relatively good among veteran actors.
Some veteran actors hardly get roles now, and can you believe a second-tier national actor earns 40,000 a year? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Like Li Guangqi, who recently joined station B, it's astonishing that his highest single income in the past year was a game promotion fee after joining the platform...
In conclusion.
USTC's offer this time is indeed generous, coupled with the good impression of Ke Da Xunfei, so Zhang Guangfei...
was tempted.
......
At the same time as Zhang Guangfei made his decision.
Yanzi River Road.
Ke Da High-tech Park.
Xu Yun was also at the company headquarters, preparing for the product launch.
That's right.
Company headquarters.
Not long ago.
With the assistance of USTC.
Xu Yun ultimately set up Huadun Biotech's company headquarters in the high-tech industrial park of USTC, located in building 11 of the dual-innovation complex.
