Chapter 41
In the afternoon, Gu Yunzhou was going to a meeting and Mu Xingyu went to his studio.
Lan Ying saw him and smiled. "I thought you only had President Gu in your heart, and you forgot that you still have a studio."
"Isn't it because Sister Lan is here? I believe Sister Lan can handle all the problems just fine."
Lan Ying couldn't help laughing. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're becoming more sweet talker." In fact, even if Mu Xingyu doesn't come today, Lan Ying will call him because Director Song invited Mu Xingyu to appear as a guest to his new movie.
"Is that the movie Zhou Ruxuan could have played in?" After listening to Lan Ying's words, Mu Xingyu guessed.
Before Zhou Ruxuan deliberately hyped and his scandals, Gu Yunzhou used means to get rid of her endorsements and film invitations.
Among them, is the film that Director Song is about to shoot. Director Song is a well known commercial action film director and still holds a domestic box office record.
His films are also a bit more masculine, but for Zhou Ruxuan, who has never won any film awards, participating in Director Song's film is definitely a good opportunity to squeeze the box office - it's a pity that this opportunity was lost by her.
Lan Ying nodded.
"Yes, that's the one. Now Director Song has selected another actress as the heroine and invites you to play one of the roles," said Lan Ying, handing Mu Xingyu a biography, "This is the character introduction, you take a look first."
Mu Xingyu took a look and found that this character was from a wealthy family. Because his father mysteriously disappeared and the company was in crisis, he asked the protagonist to help him rescue his father. Although there are few scenes, they are clues that lead to the whole movie. For Mu Xingyu, who has not made a movie, it is indeed a good choice.
He nodded and said, "You can pick it up, this role s good."
"Okay, then I will reply to Director Song. I'll show it to you when I get the script."
Mu Xingyu asked, "When will it be filmed?"
"Don't worry, the filming of this movie will start in October, and you will be scheduled to join the group until November."
Mu Xingyu relaxed, so that he would not affect the shooting of "Journey"
After discussing the matter, Mu Xingyu returned to the top floor of the Gu's Building. When he passed the rest area, he heard the two executives arguing.
"I don't agree to use him! He is completely inconsistent with the brand design concept." The fashion director said in pure English.
"Mr. Steve, I chose him because of my considerations," said Liu Yue, the person in charge of China, in a low voice, "President Gu invested in the TV series he starred in. You know, President Gu has never been involved in film and television industry before."
"Because of this, you chose him?" Steve's face was slightly stunned, but still not satisfied.
"Mr. Steve, the reason why Mr. Brown chooses a spokesperson in China must be clear to you. In that case, why not thoroughly invest in the general office?"
Steve was lost in thought. Although he was British, he's also proficient in the business world. When Gu Yunzhou was in a coma, Mr. Brown, the president of the fashion group, was deceived by Andre, so he urged Andre to take over the cypress. After Gu Yunzhou woke up, there were huge changes in the personnel of the group. In order to show his loyalty, Brown proposed to choose the W&W brand spokesperson in China.
The head of China, Liu Yue, was solely responsible for the selection of spokespersons.
After many comparisons, he finally selected three people. However, after he learned that President Gu had suddenly invested in the TV series "Journey", he quickly set his sights on Jiang Zhidong. Moreover, Jiang Zhudong is also very generous. Since the beginning of the selection, he has given him many gifts so Liu Yue logically selected Jiang Zhidong. However, fashion director Steve was not satisfied at all after seeing Jiang Zhidong, so he came here today and wanted to ask Gu Yunzhou what he meant.
Mu Xingyu has good ears and a high level of English. Even if the two of them had a full conversation in English, they were still separated by a certain distance, he also listened to the content of their conversation.
No wonder you choose Jiang Zhidong.
Mu Xingyu couldn't help but want to laugh. If the people inside knew that Gu Yunzhou imvested in the TV series because of him, he don't know what the person in charge in China would think.
He was planning to go back to the office, when another elevator rang, the elevator door opened, and a tall blond foreigner walked out of it.
"Mr. Mu!" Seeing Mu Xingyu, this person walked over quickly and enthusiastically.
Only after Mu Xingyu found out that he knew this blonde foreigner, when grandfather Gu was hospitalized both this man and Vice President Zhang and others recommended Andre to manage the Gu family. No wonder that after Gu Yunzhou woke up, in order to show his loyalty, he had to choose a brand spokesperson in China.
"Hello." Mu Xingyu shook hands with him politely.
The people in the lounge heard a familiar voice and quickly walked out, but Steve saw Mu Xingyu at a glance and sighed in surprise.
Mu Xingyu is wearing a W&W summer casual suit today, with a long body, elegant and special temperament.
Steve feels that this is his ideal spokesperson at a glance. Coupled with the coincidence of the time and place where Mu Xingyu appeared, Steve hurriedly asked in his unskilled Chinese, "Are you the spokesperson for Mr. Brown?"
"I am not." Mu Xingyu shook his head.
"How is it possible? You obviously fit the brand so well, by the way, your clothes..." Steve became more familiar with it, " Is it a custom made suit last month?"
As the fashion director, Steve is in charge of many industries such as clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc. He may not know enough about ready to wear, but he still remembers every piece of custom clothes, so he recognized that Mu Xingyu was wearing a custom suit. He found it strange that people who usually wear customized clothes are VIP customers of the group, but why he has no impression of Mu Xingyu at all.
"Well, Steve," Brown interrupted Steve quickly and introduced, "This is Mr. Mu, don't make a fuss."
"Mr. Mu?" Steve laughed, not knowing what this title means. "Mr. Mu, I am the fashion director of W&W. I wonder if you are interested in being our brand spokesperson?"
After Steve's words were finished, both Mr. Brown and Liu Yue looked surprised.
Liu Yue expressed his extreme shock at Steve's unreasonable card play. He doesn't know the relationship between Mu Xingyu and Gu Yunzhou.
He only knows that Mu Xingyu is the son of President Mu of Jian'an Real Estate. He is now playing the second male lead in the TV scenes produced by Director Zhang but this does not mean that he will look at Mu Xingyu differently. As the head of the W&W brand of Gu Group in China, he holds the top domestic fashion resources and is a guest of various fashion tycoons. Naturally, he does not care about the son of the president of Jian an Real Estate.
But President Brown is different. He knows the identity of Mu Xingyu, so when Steve finished speaking, he said displeased.
"Making a fool! What is Mr. Mu's identity, and how could he be a contemporary speaker?"
Steve was surprised and didn't understand why Mr. Brown was suddenly upset.
However, Liu Yue paid attention to the meaning in Mr. Brown's words. Brown did not say that Mu Xingyu is not worthy of contemporary speakers, but said that Mu Xingyu could not come to contemporary speakers. In terms of words, he respected Mu Xingyu very much. This is an attitude that he has rarely seen since he has known Mr. Brown for so long.
Mu Xingyu was a little embarrassed.
He found that Brown only knew that he was Gu Yunzhou's partner, but he didn't know that he was now a star in the entertamment industry.
"What are you talking about?" After Gu Yunzhou finished the meeting, he came over and saw Mu Xingyu, Brown and others standing in the corridor.
"President Gu." Brown greeted quickly.
Steve said, "President Gu, I want to invite Mr. Mu to be the brand spokesperson, but..."
Steve looked at Brown embarrassedly.
For fear of Gu Yunzhou's misunderstanding, Brown quickly explained.
"Mr. Gu, Steve didn't know that Mr. Mu was your partner, so he made a presumptuous suggestion."
Now Steve was dumbfounded and Liu Yue was even more surprised. Gu Yunzhou's focus was on suggesting Mu Xingyu as a contemporary speaker.
He looked at Mu Xingyu and asked, "Steve wants to be your contemporary spokesperson. What do you think?"
"No, the company chooses the spokesperson, just follow the procedure." Mu Xingyu laughed.
Steve came back to his senses and quickly said, "Mr. Mu, I am not at all satisfied with the spokesperson they chose. Even if you are improper, I will not agree to choose someone else."
Gu Yunzhou asked, "Who do you mean before? "
Brown glanced at Liu Yue, Liu Yue had to bite the bullet and said. "It's... It's the famous actor Jiang Zhidong."
"It's him." Gu Yunzhou couldn't help frowning, because
Jiang Zhidong and Mu Xingyu were filming together, and Gu Yunzhou was right. He still has the impression that this person does not adhere to the brand positioning.
Brown saw Gu Yunzhou's reaction and quickly said, "President Gu, both Steve and I think Jiang Zhidong is not suitable. I came to see you today just to ask your opinion about the spokesperson. I didn't expect Mr. Mu to be selected by Steve at a glance. I also think that Mr. Mu is very suitable, and I strongly urge Mr. Mu to endorse his own products."
By now, although Brown didn't know that Mu Xingyu was an actor, but based on what he saw in Gu Yunzhou's attitude he quickly changed his words. He hope to make Gu Yunzhou satisfied.
"Yeah, Mr. Mu, you are the Gu family. It's perfect to endorse the Gu's brand." Steve also said.
The most bitter thing at this time was Liu Yue. He took Jiang Zhidong's money. He thought that if he had convince Brown, he would be able to make Jiang Zhidong a spokesperson, but Steve did not agree. Now Brown has also come to a one hundred and eighty degree transformation and he has to follow along.
Gu Yunzhou was very happy to hear that, and said with a smile. "Xingyu, I also think you are the most suitable."
He quickly asked Brown to draft the contract, and signed the contract today. Brown nodded quickly and left with Steve and Liu Yue.
"Yunzhou, I don't want to interfere with Gu's operation." After returning to the office, Mu Xingyu said to Gu Yunzhou.
"Why wouldn't you interfere? You are my partner. Everything that belong to me is yours. We don't need to divide it so clearly." If possible, Gu Yunzhou wanted to divide Gu's shares in half to Mu Xingyu, but he didn't know the old man knew that when he gave 1% of the shares of Mu Xingyu Yunyin Technology, Mu Xingyu never signed it. Gu Yunzhou didn't want to use money to measure their relationship, so he never mentioned the shares. But now it's just looking for a spokesperson.
Instead of looking for someone else, it's better to look for Mu Xingyu.
"Okay," Mu Xingyu said with a smile, "I'm very happy to be the spokesperson of a world renowned luxury brand."
Gu Yunzhou also smiled. "In the future, you will endorse all Gu's products."
"Don't, not all of Gu's products are suitable for me." Mu Xingyu quickly waved his hand and said.
"Then I'll give priority to you, okay, Mr. Mu?" Mu Xingyu smiled helplessly.
Soon Brown drafted the contract, Mu Xingyu called Lan Ying, and the two parties signed the endorsement contract in the conference room on the top floor.
Lan Ying hadn't read the content of the contract beforehand, but Mu Xingyu's identity was there, she didn't have to worry at all. After signing the contract, she carefully reviewed the above terms and couldn't help but smile. "Xingyu, this is the most lenient contract I have ever seen."
Brown smiled. "Mr. Mu is the boss of the company, how dare we give it? He set requirements."
Brown can see now that President Gu, who is usually indifferent and reticent, is very concerned about his partner. In order to cater to Mr. Gu's preferences, he can't wait to take Mu Xingyu to take promotional photos. Mu Xingyu's clothes were originally W&W's latest customized suits. The clothes that are available in China are not as expensive as Mu Xingyu's clothes, so Mu Xingyu doesn't even need to change his clothes. After painting a simple makeup, he started shooting promotional photos.
Brown and Steve stayed in the studio all the time. After Mu Xingyu finished the shooting, Steve said. "These photos will be used first, and then the big American photographers will be invited to shoot special hard videos. By the way, the magazine cover also needs to be arranged."
"Mr. Steve, in fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."
Steve shook his head quickly. "These are the standard equipment of the spokesperson."
After Lan Ying heard it, she couldn't help but smile. "I am your agent, so you don't have to worry about anything."
"Sister Lan don't regret being my agent now." Mu Xingyu teased.
Since the confirmation of Mu Xingyu as the spokesperson, Liu Yue has been very wornied. He was afraid that the bribery would be found out. After returning to his office, he quietly called Jiang Zhidong.
"Mr. Liu, did you say you chose someone else as the brand. spokesperson?" Jiang Zhidong asked regretfully.
"Yes, Steve is determined not to vote for you. I can't help it. I will return the red envelope you gave me as much as possible."
"No, Mr. Liu, you are too farsighted to say that," Jiang Zhidong smiled hard. He tried hard in order to have a good relationship with Liu Yue, how could he make Liu Yue refund the money?
He asked, "Mr. Liu, who did the spokesperson choose in the end? Jiang Hao or Nie Shaoyuan?" The two people mentioned by Jiang Zhidong are also famous movies actor, regarded as a competitor by him.
"Neither."
"What? Neither?" Jiang Zhidong had to let out a surprised voice.
"Yes, for the sake of our friendship, I can only say that you know the spokesperson. That's it, we will find opportunities to cooperate in the future." said Liu before he hung up.
Jiang Zhidong was aggrieved. In order to become a spokesperson, he spent 8 million before and after, but in the end he was not chosen. In fact, after meeting Steve, he was already prepared in his heart, but he never expected that the final winner was not the opponent he expected in his heart. And Liu Yue said that he knows the spokesperson. This is equivalent to not saying that he knows a lot of people in the entertainment industry, how to judge who the spokesperson is.
Early the next morning, Mu Xingyu and Xiao Wen returned to the crew.
He was filming as usual. After Zhou Ruxuan lost his endorsements and film and television resources, she dared not come to him again but went very close to Jiang Zhidong.
During the break, Zhou Ruxuan swiped on Weibo, and after seeing the latest news from Mu Xingyu, she couldn't help showing a mocking smile.
She was afraid and annoyed at Mu Xingyu in her heart, but she never dared to show it, but she was very happy when she saw netizens scolding Mu Xingyu for her.
She quickly showed Jiang Zhidong her Weibo.
"Brother Jiang, you think he wears pirated goods, it's ridiculous."
Jiang Zhidong looked at it and found that Mu Xingyu had posted a photo that caused heated discussion among some netizens. Because Mu Xingyu's clothes are too similar to W&W's style, black fans mocked Mu Xingyu for wearing imitations below. Because Xingyu Studio has always controlled the comments, it has not attracted much attention.
"Heh..." Jiang Zhudong's first reaction was to laugh at Mu Xingyu, but suddenly what Liu Yue said flashed in his mind.
He knew the spokesperson finally selected by the W&W brand. Could it be Mu Xingyu?
"Brother Jiang, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Ruxuan asked strangely when Jiang Zhidong looked wrong.
"It's nothing, don't show me these gossips." Jiang Zhidong began to read the script.
Zhou Ruxuan's face became stiff, she endured her dissatisfaction and walked away with a smile.
On the other side of the set, Xiao Wen also paid attention to the Internet dynamics, because of 'black powder's' slander Mu Xingyu wearing imitations did not spread, so he did not tell Mu Xingyu the online discussion.
After the filming, they went to a Chinese restaurant to eat when it was time for the dishes, Xiaowen frowned when he saw a fan who had fought against black fans for three hundred rounds under Mu Xingyu's Weibo, despite being persuaded. Looking at the fan's nickname again, Xiao Wen was surprised , because he was familiar with this fan.
Black powder: [Some fans really speak big words, saying that Mu Xingyu wears W&W brand clothing casually. Who are they lying to? Do you think your idol is the president of W&W? ]
Love Star Guardian: [So what? So what? My star can be worn anything, what can you do? ]
Love Star Guardian: [Some people just can't eat grapes, but says the grapes are sour. ]
Black powder: [Wearing fake and shaddy, but still so rampant, can't wait to be exposed! ! ]
Love Star Guardian: [Go to the official W&W blog and ask if my star's clothes are fake! ]
Black powder: [A little star who is not even the 18th line, the official blog will not come to take care of you. }
Love star guardian: [Don't you say that my star wears fake? Hurry up and prove that, if it is fake, I will pay ten million for one fake! ]
Xiaowen is very familiar with Love Star Guardian. After all, she used to cast a birthday advertisement for Mu Xingyu before, and then became very active in the fan circle but at the moment , Xiaowen is very speechless. Because quarreling with black fans will only make matters worse, and W&W will soon officially announce Mu Xingyu as the spokesperson, there is no need to waste time with black fans.
"What's the matter?" Mu Xingyu asked with a serious expression and quickly asked.
"Brother Xingyu, tel thisl fan not to argue with black fans, look at her..." Xiaowen handed the phone to Mu Xingyu speechlessly.
Mu Xingyu looked at the nickname, but was also surprised and then smiled helplessly.
"If she hadn't been your die-hard fan, I would have suspected that she was a black fan."
"She is my mother." Mu Xingyu explained.
"Ah?" Xiaowen was stunned. "Brother Xingyu, who did you say she is?"
"She is my mother, I'll call her to tell her not to care about those black fans." Mu Xingyu said helplessly.
Every celebrity has a black fan, and Mu Xingyu has been familar with it for a long time but he didn't expect that one day his mother would scold the black fan on the internet.
Soon, the phone was connected and Mu's mother said happily. "Xingyu, you finally called your mother Is the filming today finished?"
Before Mu Xingyu could speak, Mu's mother said again, "It's not that I said. You, why don't you go home when you return? You really forget your mother when you have Yunzhou .." As soon as the call was connected, Mu's mother snapped, Mu Xingyu interrupted her.
"Mom, I saw what you commented on Weibo."
"What? So you know what others call you?"
"Well, Mom, there is no need to care about those black fans."
"But I am. However, how can my stars wear fakes, all of them are specially made by W&W for you! Yunzhou is also true, why don't he come forward to help you clarify it?"
"Mom, don't be angry, let me tell you the good news. I am now the global spokesperson for W&W."
"What!" Mother Mu sat up from the sofa happily, "What you said is true?"
"Can I lie to you?"
"YunZhou finally figured out that he should have let you be the spokesperson of Gu's full line of products." Mu's mother laughed.
After talking to Mu's mother for a while, Mu Xingyu hung up the phone.
At this time the food was ready, Xiao Wen asked Mu Xingyu to eat quickly.
"Brother Xingyu, I didn't expect Auntie to still be in the fan circle."
XiaoWen felt very embarrassed when he thought that he had disliked Mu's mother just now.
"She wasn't like this before," Mu Xingyu was helpless and smiled. "In the future, pay more attention to her Weibo updates and tell me if you have any questions."
"Yeah." Xiao Wen nodded quickly.
At this time, Mu's mother was very happy. The black comment that made her upset and irritated, how she wanted to laugh now and slap his face.
She posted: [Said that my star wears fake, black powder, hurry up and take care of your face, don't slap your face and get disfigured O(n_n)O haha~)
Mu's mother is very famous in the fan circle, but now she accumulated a fan with more than 10,000. After this Weibo was posted, some fans asked curiously:
[Love, what is so happy? Did you get any good news? ]
[Yeah, tell us what you know! ]
Mama Mu suppressed her excitement and replied to a fan. [Don't worry, wait for the official announcement, I will draw a lottery at that time. ]
[Official announcement, what official announcement? Love, don't make us lose our appetite. ]
[I seem to have guessed something, but I dare not say. ]
[I guessed it too, do you remember when my star appeared in the Gu's Company? ]
[I remember! ]
The meteor showers discussed enthusiastically, which quickly attracted the attention of a big V, and commented.
Some fans are love Yin:[I have received inside information, it has nothing to do with our star, don't get excited because of it. ]
At this time, not many people know about Mu Xingyu becoming the spokesperson. On the contrary, because of the news that Jiang Zhidong is likely to become the first Chinese spokesperson for the W&W brand, Jiang Zhidong's fans are very excited.
After the Big V's Weibo was released, Jiang Zhidong's fans saw other stars' fans fantasizing that their idol would become a spokesperson. Of course, Jiang Zhidong's fans were very upset and began to ridicule.
Then soon the news from the W&W official blog made Jiang Zhidong's fans utterly dumb.
