Jiang Hua's 50 million yuan 3-year endorsement fee quickly trended on social media.
Audi also provided him with a Horch, of course, the usage period for this car was just three years.
After the contract ended, if renewed, he wouldn't need to return this car, and they would provide another one.
As for the advertisement song, the other party didn't take it seriously at all. If it really made it to the Billboard charts or won a Grammy,
they wouldn't lose money anyway. Audi was a big company, they didn't lack this small amount of money.
Jiang Hua finally stopped slacking off. His English was only at a conversational level.
Far from being good.
But he could still write some English songs. Perhaps due to the fusion of two people's memories, his memory was very strong.
A car advertisement song that could become popular globally.
"Free Loop" would definitely have a place.
This song was Ford's advertisement song, and it was popular worldwide. It was also very healing, similar to Horch's tone.
But Jiang Hua was afraid this song might not make it to the charts.
Jiang Hua chose another backup, "It's My Life". He'd let Audi choose between these two.
This one had a rock style, which might not match Horch's tone, but it was more famous and should have no problem making the Billboard charts.
Jiang Hua took out his notebook, wrote down the scores for these two songs, then recorded a demo and sent it to Audi.
Let them choose. He had just earned 50 million, Jiang Hua couldn't be bothered to work hard anymore.
This guy drove his new Horch towards the theater.
As soon as the car left the company gate, it was surrounded by people taking photos.
This was the price, after all. He had signed their contract, so he couldn't drive the car he liked when going out.
It was a mutual benefit. Horch had been selling like hotcakes recently, with many Guangdong landlords queuing up to buy.
This car's style really suited them, low-key but rich, not flashy.
Jiang Hua's status was also directly elevated by the luxury car.
But what was with his outfit? Wearing punk racing gear again, the image was a bit incongruous.
...
Jiang Hua parked the car directly in the underground garage, then quietly walked into the theater.
He had made big money today, it was time to fulfill his earlier promise.
"Hi, Teacher Mao, good afternoon."
Teacher Mao looked him up and down, then shook her head.
This kid had just endorsed a luxury car, how come he hadn't changed at all?
"Jiang Hua, you've made big money, why are you still dressing so punk? Don't you care about your image?"
Jiang Hua slapped his forehead and quickly explained, "What big money? It's only 50 million. Besides, I paid a lot in taxes, there's not much left. Can't even buy a big villa, I still need to work hard."
Is this the attitude of working hard? Sleeping till natural wake-up every day, leaving work faster than a ghost.
But thinking about it, this guy's money-making speed was beyond compare in their opera circle.
"Oh right, Teacher Mao, I've written a new Yue Opera 'New Legend of White Snake'. Here's the script, take a look."
Oh, this guy really did write it.
"Let me see, I'll study it."
After saying this, she didn't stop Jiang Hua. This kid started wandering again.
He saw Li Yunxiao walking by, not paying attention to people.
"Hi, Yunxiao, good afternoon. Do you have a performance today?"
Li Yunxiao looked around, then said quietly, "Jiang Hua, don't talk to me. We're too close."
Jiang Hua was bewildered. What did she mean by too close? They were friends.
"What do you mean?"
Li Yunxiao sighed, "Recently, Jun Jun's fans and my fans have been arguing on Weibo. They say I'm riding on her popularity, and she's leaking my private information."
This must be the price of fame.
Jiang Hua rubbed his nose.
"My fans didn't get involved, right?"
"No, they didn't. Your fans don't hang out on Weibo."
Hehe, this was what Jiang Hua was proud of. He wasn't in the entertainment circle, so his fans were more rational. They had to be, this guy would delete his account at the drop of a hat.
"Alright then, here's the car key. The debadged car is for you to drive. It's very low-key."
"No, no, I don't want it."
Li Yunxiao waved her hands. She had her own car. This car was too expensive.
"Take it. Feel free to crash it. Audi will repair it for free. Haha, your brother is so nice, right? Besides, I can't drive two cars anyway."
"I don't want it. I want to buy my own."
Quite proud!
Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Use my car to practice first. Help me break it in. This car has been parked for a week, it's gathering dust."
"Well, well..."
They rarely met in private now, each having their own work. Jiang Hua had just taken on a top-tier endorsement.
This caused quite a stir in the opera circle.
Little Hundred Flowers had also accepted Audi's sponsorship. Little Hundred Flowers suddenly became rich.
No longer in the situation where they had to sell houses for a 1 million yuan contract termination fee.
"Alright, I'll occasionally drive it for you. Aren't you going to participate in Avenue of Stars? Why haven't you left yet?"
Mentioning this, Jiang Hua immediately frowned.
"Don't mention it. My flight is tonight. I'm super busy now. By the way, I might be gone for a long time. This car is for you. Let Jun Jun and others help drive it too."
Audi would probably shoot promotional videos. He probably wouldn't be back before the New Year.
"Ah, so we won't see you for a long time?"
Li Yunxiao looked a bit upset. Everyone had their own busy schedules. Jun Jun had left too.
This girl hadn't grown up yet. The adult world was ultimately not easy.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you gifts. When I'm back, I'll help you all make big money."
"Tch, bragging again."
Jiang Hua often bragged in front of them about helping everyone make big money.
How much was considered a lot? Wasn't 50 million enough?
It seemed it wasn't enough. 50 million couldn't even buy a big villa in Hangzhou.
"Then be careful. Come back soon."
She felt quite emotional. When this guy first came, she thought he had connections.
Later, he led everyone in rehearsing new plays, and everyone acknowledged he had some skills.
Finally, he successfully replaced her as the troupe's favorite. Unexpectedly, they had to part so soon. Everyone had to start working hard for their own careers.
"Well, I'm also going on a trip soon, participating in a show. Your car?"
Jiang Hua walked around her.
"Oh, our little Yunxiao is also making progress. Good luck! Drive the car if you want. If you don't want to drive it, just leave it in the underground garage. I've got to go now. I still need to find the troupe leader to handle some procedures. Such a hassle."
After saying this, Jiang Hua waved goodbye. He didn't know how long he'd be gone this time.
Anyway, he wouldn't be back for a short while. His contract with NetEase Cloud probably couldn't be fulfilled.
Li Yunxiao watched Jiang Hua's back, feeling a bit uneasy about this parting.
She had just sent off Jun Jun yesterday, and now Jiang Hua was leaving. Everyone was getting busier.
When would they be able to rehearse new plays together again, laugh together, cry together?
How long had it been since they had days like that?
Perhaps this was the price of growing up.
