Chapter 169 Level
Sheng Zexi never expected Nanchun to make this request.
He looked at Bai Song and asked, "The Bai Company is well-known in Yangcheng. Do you still need to hire someone to shoot an advertisement?"
Bo Song smiled and said, "Our company has a cooperation with Minghua Cosmetics and needs Ms. Li Rou's help."
Nan Chun added: "Although this is a request, it is also a cooperation. You name the price."
Sheng Zexi was even more confused: "Photographing for Minghua Cosmetics? Ji Mingguang didn't even come?"
"It's like this. Our Bai's Company has collaborated with Minghua Cosmetics on a new rose series product. Didn't I see Miss Li Rou's performance of 'Rose Lover' the other day?"
"She's called Rose in the movie, and her image and temperament are a perfect match for our Rose series. So I thought it would be perfect for her to star in this commercial," said Nan Chun.
Sheng Zexi took a sip of coffee, thought for a moment, and said, "You know that most of the things Li Rou uses in the movie are high-end Western goods, right? Minghua's products... I'm not saying they're bad. It's just... their quality doesn't quite match Li Rou's current status."
Does this mean that filming an advertisement for Minghua has lowered Li Rou's status?
Nan Chun's expression changed slightly, and he said bluntly, "Although Miss Li Rou used a lot of high-end Western goods in the movie, are there any Western brands that would hire her to shoot commercials for promotion?
The streets are full of advertisements for Western products, and they almost all use blond, blue-eyed Westerners. You boosted their sales, but they don't appreciate your kindness at all and don't need you!
Although this statement is blunt and hurtful, it is indeed the truth.
The original intention was to take advantage of the movie's popularity to have Li Rou take on advertisements for Western brands, thereby increasing her value and further enhancing her popularity.
But those foreigners said that Li Rou didn't fit the brand's image. Even if they offered to take photos for free, they still wouldn't agree.
What does it matter whether it meets the requirements or not? Don’t you still look down on it?
Just like the park restaurant in the concession that only foreigners are allowed to enter...
It's really uncomfortable to feel inferior in your own territory.
Nanchun saw his expression change and continued, "Miss Li Rou is now famous, but she's not a household name yet. At least I didn't know there was a celebrity named Li Rou in He'an County before.
While Minghua's products aren't as high-end as Western goods, they're affordable for most people these days. You mentioned putting Li Rou's image on Rose products. Wouldn't that make her recognizable to people everywhere, and would your company and your production of "Rose Lover" become household names?
Speaking of products, if Miss Li Rou is willing, we can let her design the packaging herself and even name it after her, creating a rose series of products just for her. That way, ten, twenty, or even a hundred years from now, people might still remember her."
Nanchun spoke with great excitement.
Sheng Zexi looked at him in a trance.
Very novel...
He knew that Nanchun was straightforward in his speech and decisive in his actions.
But I didn't expect that he had so many wonderful ideas.
Nor is it.
Previously in the cinema, his film reviews were different from others.
It's quite interesting too.
"Cough cough..." Bai Song coughed twice.
Sheng Zexi came back to his senses, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "You said it so well, I really can't think of a reason to refuse."
Nanchun smiled and said, "You are Miss Li Rou's boss. If you agree, please ask Miss Li Rou about her wishes. If she agrees, we can discuss the details. If she disagrees, then I will pretend I never mentioned this to you."
"Okay, I will talk to Li Rou nicely." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.
Nanchun said hurriedly: "It's voluntary, you can't force it. A forced melon is not sweet."
Sheng Zexi laughed out loud when he heard this. "People always try to get things done no matter what. You're quite unique! Okay, after I say hello, I'll give you an answer."
"Thank you!" said Nanchun.
Sheng Zexi nodded, his eyes smiling: "I will only cooperate with you."
"Of course you will cooperate with me! Minghua has already handed over the rose series to Bai's Trading Company." Nanchun said.
He could understand Ji Mingguang's concerns. Fuyuanji was currently in the spotlight, with matters hanging in the balance. Seeking cooperation with the Sheng family at this point would be like offering oneself as meat on the chopping block.
If the Bai family only takes charge of one series, even if it fails, there will still be room for recovery.
"Are you feeling better now?" Sheng Zexi asked with a smile.
"It wasn't your fault in the first place. I wouldn't take it out on you even if I was angry. How can I calm down?" Nan Chun spread his hands.
"That's good. I was afraid that you would vent your anger on everyone in the Sheng family because of Zekai's mistake."
"I'm more sensible than your brother! I wouldn't do that."
After Sheng Zexi left, Bai Song opened the gift he had brought and took a look at it.
"What are these?" Nanchun also came over.
A fine ginseng plant, two bottles of good wine, a few boxes of high-end cigars, a few boxes of exquisite snacks and fruits...
"Mr. Sheng has spent a lot of money on this trip! What is this?" Nanchun took out an exquisite little gift box from the bag.
After opening it, there was a jade pendant of extremely fine quality inside, with the word "Spring" engraved on it.
"The carving craftsmanship of this jade pendant is really good." Nanchun looked at it against the light.
The jade is pure, flawless, delicate and smooth.
Bai Song took it and looked at it, frowned slightly, looked at Nanchun, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong with the eldest young master? You have been worried since just now. Should I not have mentioned to the eldest master of the Sheng family about inviting Miss Li Rou to shoot an advertisement?" Nan Chun asked.
Bo Song shook his head and said, "Your suggestion is very good. But..."
"Just say what you want to say!"
"It's just that Sheng Zexi... is a little strange." Bai Song frowned.
Sheng Zexi's attitude towards Nanchun was a bit strange.
As if... coaxing him.
And the way he looked at Nanchun... wasn't very simple.
Now he even gave me a jade plaque engraved with Nanchun's name.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like they have some ulterior motive!
Haven’t you heard that Sheng Zexi is a homosexual?
"Do you suspect there's something fishy about Mr. Sheng coming to apologize?" Nanchun asked.
Bai Song wanted to speak but didn't know how to start. After thinking it over, he said, "Yes, although the Sheng family's third son is mischievous, he doesn't have those complicated thoughts. For us, such a person is nothing to be afraid of.
But the eldest son of the Sheng family is different. He has a keen business sense and many ways to benefit himself at the expense of others. So, I'm worried that he has other plans."
Nanchun said, "Well, we have to be careful when dealing with him. But we can't be afraid to move forward because of worries about this and that.
Besides, this is a great opportunity. By interacting more with the eldest son of the Sheng family, we can try to find out which master of the Sheng family is behind our actions.
