Chapter 467 Offering to Buddha (asking for monthly ticket subscription!)
At the end of September, Jackie Chan arrived in Lijin as scheduled.
During the heyday of Hong Kong films in the 90s, although many box office superstars emerged, such as Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and Leslie Cheung, and Stephen Chow was undoubtedly the most popular local star during this period, but in terms of the comprehensive box office influence of the mainland + Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan + Southeast Asia + Japan, South Korea, and Europe and the United States, Jackie Chan is still the number one in Chinese-language films and an absolute superstar.
The superstar's visit to Lijin City was just to shoot a commercial for Aiwa Electronics, and his schedule was low-key and tight.
As for the cooperation mode of both parties, Jackie Chan Pictures accepted the plan proposed by Zhang Yunqi. Within one year, for every DVD player sold by Aiwa Electronics, it would donate 1 yuan to the Jackie Chan Charity Foundation and guarantee the donation of million yuan. At the same time, the promotional stickers and donation hotline of the Jackie Chan Charity Foundation would be added to the packaging of Aiwa Electronics' DVD players.
Because Jackie Chan was very keen on charity work at that time, this plan killed two birds with one stone and both parties were satisfied.
As for the heroine of the commercial, Aiwa Electronics has clearly chosen Li Yufei, a freshman in the Art Department of Xiangnan Normal University. This girl has only been studying at Xiangnan Normal University, which is full of beautiful girls, for a month, but she has been voted as the school belle on various beauty rankings by the animals. Her appearance and temperament are impeccable, and she has already auditioned in an advertising company that Aiwa Electronics cooperates with.
When the advertising company knew they wanted to work with Jackie Chan, they naturally wanted to arrange their own people. However, when the manufacturer asked them to change the female lead of the commercial, they had no reason to refuse the sponsor. They would only suspect that the new girl had some special background or special relationship. After all, the opportunity to work with the top star Jackie Chan in a commercial is too rare. Without a strong background, it is not easy to be selected.
Li Yufei certainly has a background.
Li Jilin, who just came to Lijin, is her biggest background.
But her big background keeps her busy all the time. Jiang Chuan has a lot of things to do. He is busy building an off-season vegetable planting base in the Yunwu Mountains, establishing a rural property transfer and trading center with the following districts and counties to create a four-level network system, and studying how to revitalize the core assets of Yunxi Village. Zhang Yunqi's intention is to build Yunxi Village into a nationally renowned brand. Now Li Jilin has to discuss a series of cooperation matters with the Lijin Municipal Government. Because Zhang Yunqi has set his sights on the crayfish product, he wants to build a breeding base around crayfish in Wangcheng area, and create a series of specialty products and corresponding catering services in Lijin City, which will become a new landmark product in Star City.
It was not until the evening that Li Jilin drove back to his home in the staff community of Southern Hunan Normal University.
His wife Xie Jing teaches senior high school at the Normal University High School and is under a lot of pressure. She hasn't come home yet. His daughter Li Yufei is sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she sees Li Jilin coming in, she stands up and helps him get his slippers: "It's so late, have you eaten yet?"
"I've had dinner with Mayor Lu Feng." Li Jilin put on his slippers, sat on the sofa, and poured himself a glass of water. This was his first time home during his visit to Lijin, and also his first time chatting with his daughter Li Yufei.
After thinking for a while, Li Jilin said, "I heard from Gui Bing that you are now the spokesperson for Aido Electronics?"
Li Yufei was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's not even an endorsement, it's just helping to shoot an advertisement."
Li Jilin asked again: "Take Jackie Chan?"
Li Yufei nodded.
Li Jilin smiled bitterly: "You are going to be famous, daughter."
Li Yufei brewed a cup of Zhengshan Xiaozhong black tea and placed it in front of Li Jilin. Her pretty face was full of smiles: "You say one thing and mean another. If there is anything you need to teach me, please tell me directly, Director Li."
Li Jilin shook his head and said, "How can I teach you now? You are the one who teaches an old man like me." After a pause, he said with some worry, "I don't really want you to go into this industry."
"It's the same old tune again, Director Li."
"Yunqi chose you?"
"No, it was recommended by Guibing, but he knew about it."
"Then do you know what this means? It's not good for me to say too much. You are old enough, you should think it through yourself." Li Jilin sighed. The busy work made him exhausted, but he did have a sense of accomplishment. He was already content. It was just that sometimes he was worried about his daughter. It might not be a good thing for a girl to be too pretty. It would be even more difficult if a girl was too pretty and thoughtful. "I'm going to take a shower. You should also go to bed early."
Li Yufei held her chin and nodded: "Okay."
The next day, Li Yufei went to the advertising company early in the morning.
The commercial takes a whole day to shoot.
Because it is a real-life shooting, it is relatively troublesome.
During the break in filming, Li Yufei saw Wang Guibing and walked over to greet him with a smile: "Brother Guibing, why are you here alone?"
Wang Guibing smiled and said, "I just came to take a look when I had nothing to do. You said I would come alone, so are you expecting others to come?"
Li Yufei blushed: "Hateful."
Wang Guibing smiled and said, "He can't come. He is worried about the cooperation with the provincial state-owned assets. The project cooperation is stuck, so how can he care about the specific work below."
Li Yufei tilted her head: "Is it troublesome?" Wang Guibing said: "I can't explain this clearly. It involves very high-level executives, and I can't contact them. But anyway, it doesn't affect the normal operation of the company. It's just that you know that he thinks a lot, and he doesn't consider the affairs of this company. To put it bluntly, he makes too much money and doesn't care anymore. He wants to build spiritual civilization and do something meaningful, so he often makes trouble for himself."
Li Yufei rolled her eyes: "How can you say that about your boss?"
Wang Guibing said happily, "Don't you know what? If there's a gun pointed at him, I, Wang Guibing, will be the first to rush forward to block the gun for him. It should be okay to complain a little. By the way, Yufei, I have another favor to trouble you. Please help me get a few autographs from Jackie Chan later."
Li Yufei was stunned for a moment and said okay.
This was actually a task assigned by Zhang Yunqi to Wang Guibing. Later, Zhang Yunqi would give Jackie Chan's autograph to his sister Xiaoxiao.
Of course, that girl's extroverted and jumpy personality gave Zhang's mother a headache. Now she is known as the number one female devil in Jiangchuan No. 6 Middle School. With Jackie Chan's autograph, she is bound to show off to the whole world in front of her classmates at school.
After chatting for a while, Li Yufei continued filming.
She collaborated with Jackie Chan to shoot commercials, and the two of them had a lot of communication.
When Jackie Chan saw Li Yufei for the first time, his eyes lit up. Although this girl was very beautiful, she had not yet signed a contract with any company to make her official debut, and was an absolute amateur. However, unlike other girls, this girl seemed sensible. She was not in a hurry when talking to Jackie Chan, with a smile on her face. She behaved in a graceful and generous manner, which left a deep impression on Jackie Chan.
The film was halfway through shooting. The weather in Lijin was extremely hot under the raging autumn heat. Jackie Chan sat under a parasol to drink water and rest. Li Yufei also sat next to him. She called Jackie Chan "Big Brother" and asked him for an autograph.
When signing autographs, Jackie Chan asked with a smile, "How much do you get for this commercial?"
Li Yufei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Five thousand."
At present, the annual endorsement fee for a good advertising model in China is only about 6 yuan. Aihua pays Li Yufei yuan for a single advertisement, which is not high, but acceptable. Of course, it cannot be compared with the top treatment of superstars like Jackie Chan.
When Jackie Chan heard this, he immediately called the staff member in charge of the liaison at Aiwa Electronics and told him to take an additional 50,000 yuan from his salary in the contract and give it to Li Yufei.
Li Yufei was stunned.
In fact, she was not short of money. Her father, Li Jilin, had a very high salary in Liansheng Group and also had shares. She could eat, wear and use whatever she wanted. However, even so, 1995 yuan in 5 was not a small amount of money for this girl. At this time, she suddenly remembered what her father, Li Jilin, said: "Girls, don't use boys' money easily and feel at ease."
Li Yufei thought about this and did not refuse. She just said politely, "Thank you, Jackie Chan."
Jackie Chan smiled and waved his hands, saying, "This is a small matter, little girl. This little money is my investment in you. Study your body shape and acting skills well. Trust my vision. You will definitely have a good career in this industry in the future. Come on."
Li Yufei smiled and said "hmm".
Then they had to continue filming, and they were busy until the afternoon before they finished all the filming. Li Yufei also went to do the dubbing, and it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Next, it was the post-production work of the advertising company.
Before leaving, Li Yufei specially handed over the gift package of Longjingyuan specialties, which had been well-known in the southern Hunan region, which she had prepared in advance, to the staff of Aiwa Electronics Company who was responsible for connecting with Jackie Chan Pictures. Afterwards, she wrote a small note and asked the staff to pass it on to Jackie Chan.
The note contained only a few words: "Hello, Jackie Chan. You should have left Lijin by now. Although you are a big star, you left me with an amiable and approachable impression when we first met. In addition, thank you for giving me 50,000 yuan from your own salary. For a student like me, this is a huge gift. I am very touched. But I also know that your advertising salary will be used entirely for charity funds to help children in poor areas of our country who cannot afford to go to school. Under such circumstances, I really cannot accept this gift with peace of mind. It is too heavy. If you still want to give me this money, then I would like to donate it to your charity fund as a small token of my love."
After doing all this, Li Yufei left the advertising company.
The girl was very thoughtful. She was not prepared to accept Jackie Chan's gift, but Jackie Chan was a big star after all, and it might not be right to reject his kindness in person, so she had to resort to this last resort.
I took a taxi back home.
Li Yufei was sitting in the car. From the window she could see the autumn wind blowing across the ground and the withered yellow leaves falling. The sky in the distance had not yet completely darkened, but the moon was already hanging on the treetops, round and shining with a warm light.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
This is a time of reunion.
But where are the people who are reunited?
