Chapter 133：

"Long Island Iced Tea" has been released in North America and other regions for a month, and by the end of its release, it has received a full US$437 million in the box office, making it one of the top ten in North American movie box office history.

In the category of literary films, it directly surpassed many previous classic films and became the top box office of current literary films.

Ji Li and Qin Li attracted the love of countless movie fans and friends, and they became two Chinese actors well-known to overseas parties for a time. There were numerous film invitations from various directors and producers.

Not only that, the first round of the "Best Male Lead" screening at the Yana International Film Festival has already had results. Both Ji Li and Qin Li successfully entered the second round of competition, and the final result will be one month later. Announced.

If you are lucky enough to enter the final competition, then in mid-May, the two will take the work "Long Island Iced Tea" to the Yana International Film Festival awards scene.

After a brief announcement of the overseas film promotion, Ji Li and Qin Li flew back to China, each busy accumulating announcements.

In Chaoying Company, Bao Zi approached the lounge with five or six overseas movie invitations and script outlines, with a brilliant and proud light in his eyes, "Brother Ji, you? Look at this bunch first!"

"There are also three domestic film invitations, I will give you too? Bring them!"

In the past, it was difficult to pick a good script, but now Chaoying’s mailbox is full of various film invitations, and you can choose the best.

Brother Ji is amazing!

Things have flew away again and again, and now they can direct their eyes directly to the world!

"Where is Sister Yu?" Ji Li didn't worry about watching the movie invitation on the table.

"She's coming soon."

As soon as Baozi's answer fell, the familiar sound of high-heeled shoes rang, and Yu Fuya hadn't arrived first.

"Are you looking for me in a hurry?"

"Sister Yu, before "Monk" was finished, and even "Long Island Iced Tea" was released, my new year's business? Haven't my business goals been discussed with the company?"

Ji Li asked straightforwardly, he didn't neglect his next business?

Yu Fuya sat down and smiled, "Don't worry, I have already notified that we will hold a meeting of our own team tomorrow afternoon."

She pointed to the script invitation on the table, "There are so many movie invitations, you? Watch it slowly, and tell me if you like it."

"Don't worry." Ji Li shook his head. "I promised Director Yao and Teacher Fang. Didn't Special Operations II say that it will start up at the end of this month? What about the script? Why haven't you sent it to me?"

"I'm planning to talk to you?" Yu Fuya answered.

The movie was originally scheduled to start around March, but Fang Zhixing is a well-known screenwriter who is strict with the script. At the beginning of the year, it was said that the plot of the script had to be grind.

Director Yao Chuan knows his friend's temperament, and he clapped his hands freely.

No, the film project was moved directly to the end of May, and the crew is still in the early stages of preparation.

When Ji Li heard this, her eyebrows twisted slightly.

Chaoying originally signed a preliminary filming contract with "Special Operations", and suddenly there was an extra two and a half months, and his time was too tight.

"Almost all overseas film projects start up in mid-April, and the shooting cycle is two and a half to three and a half months. If you want to take it, I will help you with Special Operations."

Of course, it wasn't that the film party of "Special Operations" broke the contract, but was just negotiating to extend it later.

Yu Fuya is an agent who can see the situation clearly.

The momentum of "Long Island Iced Tea" is just right, and Ji Li has to seize this time node to move forward. Otherwise, once you miss this upper hand, if you want to continue to develop internationally, it won't be that simple.

The entertainment circle is originally a circle of choosing the best.

It is not that the filming of "Special Operations" is not good, but that when there is a better opportunity, we must make full use of and reconcile the time difference in the various announcements.

"No, just wait for "Special Operations" to start at the end of May. It's okay for me to wait for the crew alone? It would be an exaggeration to let the whole crew wait for me."

Baozi and Yu Fuya looked at each other, the latter persuaded.

"Brother Ji, these overseas film invitations are good for both the director and the production team. What a pity to give up? It really doesn't work, we can take a domestic movie script?"

It is only mid-March. If Ji Li finds a script and quickly signs a contract, the new crew will hurry up on the shooting time. In fact, there is no time to enter the follow-up "Special Operations".

Ji Li shook his head firmly again.

"First, Dao Yao and Teacher Fang are mentors to me. They promised their relationship with the "Special Operations" crew. I don't want to and can't break the contract. When should I shoot, and when?

Two years ago, had it not been for Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing to star him as Xie Yan in "The Great Youth Conspiracy", maybe his career would not develop as smoothly as it is today.

He has to remember this grace.

"Second, I have to treat any script with my heart. I need to adjust from the previous role in order to spend new energy on the new script role."

Seamless connection is indeed a very stable job, but as far as Ji Li is concerned, it is not responsible for the two crews before and after.

Last year's "Reverse Hunting" and "Monk" although the time to enter the group was tight, but there was also a one-month adjustment time in between.

If this will receive a new script, it will be particularly rushed to wait until the finale to join the "Special Operations" crew.

"Sister Yu and Baozi, I understand that you and the team are all thinking about me."

"Whether it is overseas or domestic, I am considered to be in a period of rising career. Even if I stay on the crew and filming throughout the year, I am not afraid of tiredness, but I am responsible for each of my roles."

Looking at the script at the table, Ji Li resolutely said, "Thank me for the invitation of these film producers, but no matter how good the script is, wait until the filming of "Special Actions" is finished."

When Yu Fuya heard Ji Li's words of caution, he couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"Go!" Bao Zi put away the script without saying a word, and looked at Yu Fuya with a smile.

"Sister Yu, you really guessed it right. Brother Ji is a "axis" kid in choosing the script."

"..."

Ji Li was startled, but didn't react for a while.

Yu Fuya explained with a smile, "I guessed you? I will insist on waiting for the scripts of "Special Actions", just want Baozi to bring these scripts over and see if I can arouse your curiosity."

Although these script invitations are really good, Yu Fuya doesn't want to force Ji Li to take the drama. The other party has made big and steady steps in the past two years.

Joining the group seamlessly sounds awesome, but it will be very wearable to the artist's body and mind.

Yu Fuya still loves her children. No matter how important the job is, it can't compare with healthy and orderly development.

"That's okay, there are still two and a half months before the shooting of "Special Actions", you? Just take a good rest. Maybe we can go to the Yana Film Festival in mid-May."

If Ji Lizhen was shortlisted for the final round of Yana International Films, or simply picked off the title of "International Movie King", would he still be afraid that he would not be able to receive good international films in the future?

Ji Li returned to his senses, with a smile on her eyes, "Thank you, Sister Yu."

The two years that Yu Fuya took him, just as agreed at the beginning-in terms of the choice of the script, he gave him 100% of the rights.

"Thanks what?, then I have a request." Yu Fuya replied jokingly.

"What? Request?" Ji Li asked back.

Yu Fuya asked Baozi to take these scripts back to the department, and then asked the other party to get a file bag.

Yu Fuya started the topic, "Since the advertising spokesperson for Ying's Perfume, you? Haven't you taken the TVC shooting of other commercials?"

Ji Li nodded.

In the past two years, he has received many brand endorsements, both large and small, but they have all stayed at the level of print shooting and publicity. Indeed, video advertisements like Ying's perfume have never been exposed.

"The endorsement of Ying's perfume has expired, and both parties intend to suspend cooperation this year." Yu Fuya opened the mouth, reporting this fact.

"I know."

After Ji Li endorsed Ying's perfume, the advertising burst and international awards, the two sides moved towards a win-win situation.

After the contract expired last year, Ying's initiative proposed to renew the contract with Ji Li in print promotion, and still believed that the latter was their only spokesperson.

Seeing him nodded, Yu Fuya continued to explain. The idea of ​​not renewing the contract was based on two points——

First of all, the identity of the'full-line spokesperson' will restrict Ji Li from contacting other luxury brands of the same type as endorsements.

Secondly, the public will have a ‘visual fatigue period’ for spokespersons. To put it plainly, they will lack freshness.

Two years of cooperation is long enough.

Yu Fuya has no plans to renew the contract, and after consideration by Ying's senior management, they also plan to use a brand new spokesperson to try.

There was no dissatisfaction in Ji Li's eyes, for him, the two sides' considerations were entirely reasonable.

"Who does Ying's new endorsement character look like?"

"Does the fertilizer not flow out? People, whether it is our Chaoying or Ying's investor Ji's, the first choice is Ji Yunqi." Yu Fuya explained directly.

When Ji Li heard the name of her friend, she chuckled, "It's him."

Ji Li was originally worried? He took the perfume endorsement earlier than Ji Yunqi, and would accidentally affect the other party's path in the original book.

Yu Fuya saw that Ji Li did not lose the slightest ‘competition’, and then added, “I heard from Manager Yin that she has been going crazy for the past two days.”

"what's happenin?"

"Ying's Perfume has been promoted to become the No. 1 perfume brand in China in the past two years. You? After becoming the spokesperson, I don't know how many celebrities are rushing to ask for it, but Ji Yunqi refused to accept this invitation..."

Ji Yunqi still yelled--

"This is the endorsement that Ji Li took. He has been so good as a spokesperson in these two years. You can't get past him and come to me directly. This is related to the revolutionary friendship between me and him!"

"Why do you? Don't continue to choose him? How great is Ji Li!"

I have seen an artist who has sharpened his head and grabbed his endorsement, and has never seen an artist who persuades the advertising side to continue using his former spokesperson, Ji Yunqi is completely out of the ordinary path.

Ji Li really couldn't hold back his smile, and shook his head helplessly, "Miss San is so silly, this really looks like his style."

"Yin Ning sent me a WeChat message last night, saying if you don't mind, help her persuade this bear child."

Ji Li and Ji Yunqi are real friends. They are both from the same company of Chaoying. Ying's perfume clearly shows such high-quality endorsements. Why should it be given to artists from other companies?

"Of course, I'll talk to him later." Ji Li agreed without even thinking about it.

If Ji Yunqi refuses to accept this endorsement, it will be his turn to feel guilty.

Yu Fu Yaxin? She curled her lips with satisfaction.

Sure enough, the children of their super movie family are all well-behaved and intriguing, unlike other companies that have ‘good relations’ and privately ‘play framed’.

"Sister Yu, you? Only half of what I said just now, what do I need to promise you? Request?" Ji Li turned the topic back again.

As soon as the voice fell, Bao Zi took back the file bag that Yu Fuya had said.

Yu Fuya handed a thick stack of advertising contracts to Ji Li's eyes.

"Natural mineral water, I'll give you the global spokesperson? I've talked about it, and the endorsement is a full line of products. According to the requirements of the advertiser, you need this spokesperson to cooperate in shooting two sets of print ads and one video ad."

Hearing this brand, Baozi suddenly exaggerated his mouth so that he could stuff an egg, "Sister Yu, what? When do you talk about this brand? It's awesome!"

Yu Fuya curled her lips, "It's that Ji Li's performance in "Long Island Iced Tea" is so eye-catching and has harvested their high-level fans. I, I just did my job? Love."

In fact, this brand has competed in the selection of spokespersons.

Yu Fuya has never spoken out. After she took the time to come to the door for a neat introduction, she spent half a month to help Ji Li win the endorsement.

However, all the hardships involved are her duties as a broker.

If Ji Li's business can take it to the next level, it would be her agent's biggest gain.

Ji Li flipped through the endorsement contract to learn about the brand's relevant information.

The origin of Natural mineral water is in south-central France. Because of the unique geographical location of the crater, this really high-quality mineral groundwater is created.

At first, it was dedicated water for the French royal family. Later, it was developed to be dedicated to the upper class. Later, it was opened to the civilian population as drinking water.

Although the water quality is uniform, natural mineral water can create two series, and both of them satisfy their respective user groups.

The first series pursues the ‘extreme luxury’. The bottle of mineral water is a collaboration with a luxury jewelry designer and has won the first prize in an international design competition.

The cost of the bottle alone is expensive, and it is basically bought by the rich to get psychological enjoyment.

The second series pursued ‘local simplification’, which was produced from the place of origin and successively exported to more than 20 countries.

Every country has a localized name. For example, in China, it is called ‘Shengquan’ mineral water.

"Their company has always used the money from the first series to take into account the sales expenses of the second series, so even the localization of large expenses can achieve annual profits."

Especially in France and neighboring countries, it is almost the largest mineral water in the whole year, and the total annual sales can also be ranked first and second in the world.

Luxury watches and jewellery are not affordable for everyone, but mineral water is possible. Its demand audiences are both high-end and upper-class people as well as popular people.

Yu Fuya earnestly analyzed the advantages of this spokesperson with Ji Li, "All global spokespersons, even if the term is only one year, is enough for you? Earn enough exposure all over the world."

Ji Li looked through the contract and found it okay? A big problem, "Sister Yu, you? Just contact me to determine the shooting time of the commercial."

It’s not a waste of time to have such an ad endorsement in the two months waiting to join the group.

"Well, listen to the person in charge of the advertising side, they took you? This spokesperson's name to the director Adolf, wanting to promote the cooperation of advertising shooting."

The original perfume advertisement was very famous in the advertising industry, and the Natural brand should want to create stunning videos again.

Ji Li raised an eyebrow and readily agreed.

Having said that, he and Qin Li were able to bond because of "Long Island Iced Tea", and the matchmaking of director Adolf was indispensable.

"One more thing, the producer of "Reverse Hunting" notified two days ago that the finished film has been reviewed and may choose a suitable schedule for release in the first half of the year."

"What's the matter? I'll let Baozi contact them, and I'll talk about it at the meeting tomorrow."

"it is good."

Ji Li's eyes shone slightly and nodded.

It seems that even if he doesn't join the group for two and a half months, he is still busy.

"It's getting late, I will ask Baozi to send you back?" Yu Fuya glanced at the time.

"No, I just ask the driver to send it back. The security measures in the community are quite stringent. What shouldn't you encounter? Fans besieged." Ji Li stood up and replied.

"Jili, I know you? Do things with Qin Li? You always have a sense of measure."

Yu Fuya got up with him, and confessed in a long and focused voice, "But now there are so many CP fans, so there is no less entertainment that corresponds to staring at you."

"You must be careful when you go out to prevent being followed."

"If you meet at home, you also have to pull the doors and windows. If your relationship is exposed, how serious is it, don't I need to remind you?"

Ji Li understood that Yu Fuya was considering him, and nodded carefully, "Sister Yu, you? Don't worry, we all understand."

"Okay, go back and rest early."

"Ok."

...

As soon as Ji Li opened the door, two fluffy pieces were posted one after the other.

Xue Bingpa pulled his legs for a hug, while the major general sat down and raised his head for petting.

When Ji Li heard the patter of water in the bathroom, he knew that it was Qin Li who had brought the two little cuties back. He rubbed his pets and then closed the door and walked to the living room.

Qin Li has a strong sense of protection, and has long since pulled the doors and windows airtight. Before long, he walked out of the bathroom.

Qin Li was wearing a bath towel, and his upper body was empty before he could put on clothes. The strong abdominal muscle line still attracted people's attention.

Ji Li got stuck in the sofa, looked straight, and said with a joke, "Emperor Qin, are you? Are you planning to be seduced?"

"You? What do you mean?" Qin Li approached, still carrying the heat from the shower, and Ji Li's breathing became hot.

"Stay away, stick to the heat." Ji Li quickly pushed him away.

Since returning to China, the two haven’t seen each other for three days. Qin Li’s stickiness came up for a while, still next to the sofa, "...Li Bao."

Ji Li had nothing to do with him, so he had to spare half of his seat for him to sit next to him, "Is the announcement finished?"

"Almost. Two magazines for shooting and interviews. However, I am going to work abroad in a week."

"Have you been looking for a new movie?" Ji Li asked.

"Last year with you? The end-time disaster film that you talked about, do you remember?" Qin Li asked rhetorically.

Ji Li remembered this? and nodded.

This is the film project of Qin Li and Li Xing a long time ago, inspiring to occupy the blank of China's disaster film in the world.

But Qin Li said that the hero of this film was reserved for him? Why do you want to start shooting now?

Qin Li saw his doubts and replied with a smile, "I don't want to take you? The hero, but after many discussions, I decided to shoot the first prequel."

In the past year, Qin Li learned from many excellent directors of disaster films. According to everyone's opinion, if the film wants to expand overseas markets, it has to be gradual.

The original film was intended to start directly from the ‘fifth year after the disaster’, but under the proposal, Qin Li and the film plan to start from the beginning of the disaster.

This makes it easy for the audience to have a re-built impression of the doomsday world in the movie, and it is also convenient for the shooting of future sequels.

The preparations are almost done, and it is planned to start shooting at the beginning of next month. As the investment, producer and starring role of the first film, Qin Li needs to rush to prepare in advance.

"Well, it sounds reliable."

"Of course it has to be reliable, I have to fight for my baby? Make a good start." Qin Li circled him.

Ji Li snorted twice, and also talked about his future plans. Only then did he talk about trivial things?

"Does China compare to foreign countries, you? Even if you return to China in the future, you will rarely check in with your key and bag, so you are not afraid of being discovered by Yuji?"

"I'm very careful." Qin Li was aggrieved.

"I can't live in the mansion with my own family. I have to run to my small rented house. Be careful that I ask you for accommodation fees."

Ji Li's current residence is the one that Chaoying had found for him. He had saved enough money to buy a house, but he was busy working in the second half of last year and had not had time to find a new house.

"Accommodation fee? How much?" Qin Li asked with a smile.

"Why do you have to have the standard fee for a presidential suite?" Ji Li jokingly said to the lion. "At the price of the movie emperor Qin, this room is still affordable?"

Qin Li's eyes shimmered, and he stroked his neck and patted, "Boss Ji, can I use labor in exchange for housing expenses, and then change the right to accommodation?"

Ji Li shook his head and stopped the movement of his hands, "I have nothing to do with you? Housework is for you to do."

"Who said I have to do housework?"

Qin Li suddenly got up and hugged him in his arms like a child, with deep meaning, "I'm talking about another kind of manual labor."

"..."

Ji Li reacted slowly, and his face was hot by Qin Li's sorrowful words, and his legs were unconsciously resting on his body.

"Who wants you? That kind of manual labor!"

Qin Li raised his eyebrows without refuting, and hugged his lover tighter.

Under the doubtful eyes of the major general and Xuebing, he directly took his baby back to the bedroom, "Didn't you say you have to pay for the accommodation?"

Qin Li rubbed Ji Li's earlobe, his low voice was bewitching.

"Li Bao."

"I'm happy to help."
