Chapter 495 - 265: Chen Jincheng vs. Boss Lei?
Finally, she could only say helplessly, "Have you said these things to every girl you’ve met?"
"Sister Feiye, if you keep this up, I’m going to get upset," Chen Jincheng said righteously. "I’ve told you before, I don’t shit where I eat!"
"Then what about me?" Sister Feiye immediately seized on his poor choice of words and shot back.
"I’m the one getting eaten by you, alright?" Chen Jincheng retorted irritably. "Besides, you’re older than me. You’re the cougar preying on fresh meat!"
"..." Sister Feiye was so exasperated she felt like she could cough up blood.
’What is with this guy?’
The advertising contract was finalized, but the ad shoot and talent selection still required further discussion with Rice Group. Therefore, Chen Jincheng needed to draft the pricing documents.
Looking at Sister Feiye, who had changed into a different cheongsam, he asked, "For the commercial shoot, what’s your rate?"
"My current rate for a commercial is 600,000!" The mention of a commercial immediately piqued Sister Feiye’s interest. She promptly sat down beside Chen Jincheng, pressing herself intimately against him.
She wouldn’t have been so forward before, but after their six "sessions" last night and this morning, such intimate gestures had become second nature to her.
Thus, the best way to conquer a woman is to have a thoroughly satisfying "game" with her.
"Only 600,000?" Chen Jincheng stared at her, dumbfounded.
"One million?" Sister Feiye asked instinctively. Seeing him roll his eyes, she tried another figure. "1.5 million?"
"You’re unbelievable. As long as the plan is solid, Rice Group is very generous," Chen Jincheng said, shaking his head. He directly wrote "4 million" for Sister Feiye’s fee.
Frankly, even if Rice Group were to hire A-list celebrities, a top-tier one would certainly cost more than 4 million.
As for whether Sister Feiye was actually worth that price... did it really matter?
Connections and favors are a part of business everywhere. As long as the commercial turned out well, it was a harmless detail.
’The most important thing is that President Lei should be very happy right now. President Wei and those guys are just that clueless.’
When Sister Feiye saw the 4 million figure, she threw her arms around Chen Jincheng in excitement. "Boss, I love you so much!"
Although the company would take a large cut of the 4 million, and it couldn’t be considered her standard rate, filming a commercial for Rice Group at a 4 million price point would be an excellent addition to her portfolio.
’Her boss was essentially leveraging Rice Group to boost her market value.’
Just as Chen Jincheng expected, when he went to Rice Group, the person in charge approved the quote with a signature without even glancing at it. He also received the prototype device needed for the shoot.
With those details handled, it was time to shoot the commercial.
However, he needed to give Sister Feiye a makeover first. In his other world, the female lead in this commercial had a similar "stepmom vibe," but it wasn’t exactly the same; the feeling couldn’t be quite so intense.
This transformation had to be subtle, and it was up to him to capture just the right feeling.
He spent a full day with Sister Feiye at the mall. In the end, a combination of light makeup, an off-the-shoulder white maxi dress, and her now-subdued "stepmom" aura created the exact feeling he was looking for.
Honestly, this version of Sister Feiye gave him a completely different feeling. The "stepmom vibe" had faded, but the result was stunningly refreshing.
However, this one outfit wasn’t enough; changing scenes would require several more. With this look as a template, though, the process was simple, and they quickly selected a few more outfits.
That night, back at the hotel, Sister Feiye "thanked" him by insisting he stay in her room.
Her reason for "thanking" him? He had paid for her new clothes.
It was a reason he couldn’t possibly refute, so he accepted her "gratitude."
The next day, after two rounds of "self-discipline," Sister Feiye once again put on the off-the-shoulder white maxi dress. The commercial shoot was starting today, and Lao Chen had arrived with his crew.
He was extremely excited when he saw Chen Jincheng.
After all, this was a commercial for Rice Group.
Even though he had already shot many viral videos for Second-Life Star, this was on a completely different level.
After filming a commercial for Rice Group, he would have serious bragging rights in the industry.
With a solid plan and Sister Feiye’s vibe perfectly adjusted, the shoot itself was quite simple. He and Lao Chen had worked together for a long time, so Lao Chen understood his vision perfectly. As a result, they finished filming the entire commercial in just half a day.
They spent some more time on editing and soon had the complete "Record Beautiful Life" commercial.
Lao Chen remarked with feeling, "Boss, the tagline combined with these visuals is so impactful. If it weren’t for your concept and direction, Boss, I could never have filmed a commercial like this."
Chen Jincheng was also very pleased with the commercial, and he called Lei Xiaojun right away.
The call connected, and before he could say a word, the magnate’s cheerful voice came through. "Mr. Chen, your plan is incredible! Do you know how many followers I have now? Almost 20 million! The whole of Tiao Yin is talking about me and Rice Group, and the discussion has even spread to other platforms and websites."
"Congratulations, President Lei!" Chen Jincheng wasn’t surprised in the slightest, because the Heat Card unleashed views across the entire internet.
Lei Xiaojun laughed. "This is all thanks to you, Mr. Chen. Let’s have dinner tonight."
Chen Jincheng smiled. "President Lei, before dinner, you can take a look at the finished commercial."
"It’s already finished?" Lei Xiaojun said, surprised. "Mr. Chen, hurry on over then. I’m just finishing a meeting, so I’ll be free."
"Alright, President Lei," Chen Jincheng agreed. He then led his team out of the hotel, simultaneously opening his Tiao Yin account to upload a video.
Online, thanks to the views generated by the ’are you ok’ Heat Card and Tiao Yin’s promotional push, Lei Xiaojun had become the center of attention and discussion across the entire platform.
Other topics about Lei Xiaojun and Rice Group had even started appearing on the trending charts, completely overshadowing any buzz about what product Chen Jincheng was planning to promote.
It was at this exact moment that Chen Jincheng uploaded a video, which immediately caught the attention of many people.
For example, Yuan Peng from OST. His company’s video e-commerce numbers had been thoroughly crushed by the four female influencers from Second-Life Star, so he had been eagerly waiting to see what product Chen Jincheng would promote and what kind of numbers it would pull.
But he had been waiting and waiting, and there had been radio silence.
Who would have thought Chen Jincheng would finally make a move now? From Yuan Peng’s perspective, this was obviously not a good time.
With all the buzz surrounding Lei Xiaojun, if Chen Jincheng tried to make a splash now, his own popularity would naturally be eclipsed. It was a terrible time to act.
"Making a move now? He would have been better off waiting for Lei Xiaojun’s popularity to die down. Chen Jincheng has made a mistake this time!" Yuan Peng couldn’t help but remark.
But clearly, he was currently unaware of the connection between Chen Jincheng and the trending topic of Lei Xiaojun. When he finally found out, his jaw was bound to hit the floor.
