Chapter 542 - YD Lipstick Model

“Dad, I think Yun doesn’t need to worry about this.” Chloe trusted Yun Xiangxiang very much, but her trust came from data instead of from friendship. “SY266 which just got released was sold out this New Year.”

This matter was not only a sensation in China, but also in S.Q., so even though Yun Xiangxiang was the least experienced among all the spokespersons, she was not disappointed that she was chosen by the company. Instead, she had some inexplicable expectations.

SY266 was the lipstick that Yun Xiangxiang used when she went to the film release conference. It was originally a new product, and thanks to Yun Xiangxiang, it became popular all of a sudden.

The company used this news to advertise a lot, and now, SY266 was still the best-selling model in the whole series.

Yun Xiangxiang still insisted on calling it that, but considering that it was sold abroad, she took a step back and named it YD. In the end, this model was set to have six color numbers: YD222, YD520, YD521, YD666, YD888, and YD999.

However, after the series name was confirmed, it would not be released to the public until the product was fully created. Yun Xiangxiang also wanted to give her fans a surprise.

The exact time when the research and development would be released to the public was still uncertain. They would also contact Yun Xiangxiang with the details of the image design of the later products.

Basil and Chloe finally invited Yun Xiangxiang to have lunch together. After Yun Xiangxiang returned to the hotel, He Wei told her that she would have dinner with Milles and the others in the evening.

“Brother Wei, how is the discussion on the rights to introduce the film to France going?” Yun Xiangxiang could not help but ask.

“It’s basically settled. We only want the rights to distribute First Love in China. If other countries are interested, we can negotiate with them. Similarly, we will exchange the rights to distribute First Love with them in France.” He Wei nodded.

“Everyone in the company thinks that we are at a disadvantage. Actually, I don’t think that we are at a disadvantage.” Yun Xiangxiang could only speak to He Wei alone.

“Hmm?” He Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

“The content of ‘First Love’ was actually introduced into the country and exchanged with ‘Jiu Se.’ It didn’t cost much, so it was inevitable that we would earn it back. However, if the content of ‘Jiu Se’ was placed in France, I don’t think it will have any good results.”

Yun Xiangxiang suppressed these words in her heart. She had wanted to say this for a long time. ‘Jiu Se’ belonged to the Republic of China, and it was a special culture during a special period in China.

If “Soar to the Sky” was used instead, Yun Xiangxiang felt that the gains would not be small.

“Those old guys in the company are not as good as you.” He Wei was very gratified.

He really valued Yun Xiangxiang, but his surname was hHe, so he would not harm the interests of Huan Yu Century Entertainment. It was indeed difficult for Jiu Se to become popular abroad, but those guys who only knew how to split the money would not consider these things.

If one told them that “Jiu Se” was a film with Chinese cultural characteristics and that it would not be popular abroad, they would be able to refute it. “Wasn’t ‘The King’s Plan,’ which was popular not long ago, a film with Chinese cultural characteristics? Even if it was not, it still had good results.”

But how could it be the same?

“The King’s Plan” had magnificent war scenes. It was an in-depth study of Chinese history and culture. For European countries that did not have a long history, it had a mysterious desire to explore these things.

However, “Jiu Se” belonged to modern history. It didn’t fit what the foreign countries wanted from Chinese films.

He Wei had argued with them at several board meetings because of this. However, if there was an argument between an expert and an outsider, it was like an elementary scholar meeting a soldier. There was no sense to be made out of it.

People would still argue, not to mention so many overseas distributors were interested in it. Could it be that they didn’t consider this? Wasn’t it because they wanted to make money? What did this mean? It meant that they were only willing to spend money if there was money to be made.

He Wei was so angry that he almost coughed out blood. He was too selfish and focused on building Yun Xiangxiang. In order to support Yun Xiangxiang, he traded Jiu Se, which was good for making money, for the completely useless First Love.

There were some things that Yun Xiangxiang had used Xue Yu as a messenger. Although Xue Yu did not have a lot of shares and it was not his turn to run the board of directors, he had been in Huan Yu Century Entertainment for so many years, so he must have many good friends. She had more or less heard about it from Xue Yu.

“They are all veterans and do not pay attention to the current market. “Jiu sSe” has good results in the country, so it’s not an exaggeration to think that way. Brother Wei, don’t let them down.” Yun Xiangxiang could only advise him like this.

He Wei represented his father in the board of directors since his father passed away when he was in his teens. At that time, he was still young and didn’t have much of a say, so he mostly sat at the side and listened.

He had long been immune to these old fogeys, only becoming angry at their incoherent words.

For example, they thought that he held Yun Xiangxiang like this because he liked Yun Xiangxiang and had an affair with her.

Some people even suggested that someone else brought Yun Xiangxiang along. In the end, they were just afraid that he would use Xue Yu and Yun Xiangxiang to dominate the company in the future, and the company would no longer have any room for them to speak.

People, sometimes, for selfish reasons, would not only disregard their own interests, they would even harm others and not benefit themselves.

Of course, He Wei would not tell Yun Xiangxiang about these rumors. Even if Xue Yu heard about it, he would not let Yun Xiangxiang know.

“If I can see it, then why would Milles agree?” Yun Xiangxiang was actually quite curious.

Milles was not someone who did not understand the market. He had risen to fame, and every film he made won the hearts of the people of France, so he definitely understood the tastes of the people of this country.

He could tell that “Jiu Se” was not a delicious dish, yet he still agreed.

Although it was his company’s decision, he must have played a great role in it.

“The box office of Jiu Se is not important here. What’s important is the box office of First Love in China,” He Wei reminded her.

Yun Xiangxiang suddenly came to a realization. If the resources were exchanged, then Jiu Se would not cost much to introduce to France. Milles should know that there was no profit, but it was good as long as it was not a loss.

As long as “First Love” had good results in China, he would still be the big winner.

“As expected, they are all smart people.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but sigh.

During dinner that night, Milles said to Yun Xiangxiang, “I have an idea for a new film. You are very suitable for the female lead.”

Yun Xiangxiang was naturally very happy. She raised her glass and said, “I look forward to our next collaboration.”

“We haven’t found a suitable scriptwriter to write the script yet. We might have to wait for a year or two,” Milles said in advance.

“It doesn’t matter. Good things require a long wait.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mind waiting.

After dinner happily, Yun Xiangxiang was planning when she would go back. He Wei said to her, “I’m going to meet the senior management of SL tomorrow.”

“Of course.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded.

SL didn’t have any special brand events in the first half of the year. Yun Xiangxiang’s brand had just been released, and there wasn’t any new product launch.
