"Good cooperation, Mr. DiCaprio!"
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Wald!"
One morning two days later, Xiao Li finally signed his name on the contract. From now on, he will officially become one of the image spokesmen of the chain stores around SpongeBob house for a period of five years.
"Mr. DiCaprio, oh no, I'll call you Leonardo. You don't mind." Said Zucker.
"Of course not."
Xiao Li smiles brightly, and then the haze behind the smile is always lingering. As Zhu Ke who is familiar with Liaozhai, of course, he can see it.
It's all about Titanic!
You know, in order to make this film, he devoted himself to it for more than three years! Since he starred in "Romeo and Juliet" released in early 1995, he has not had a film on the cinema.
For a young plum who has become famous since the early 1990s in growing pains, it is absolutely a big bet to take part in Titanic for a mere $300000. She is betting that Titanic will make her further progress!
However
Cruelly, "Titanic" is not hot!
After winning $28.63 million at the box office on the first day of the movie's surrender, the movie has only won more than $10 million in box office for two consecutive days. Compared with its $200 million production cost, it can be said that it's hard to see.
Paramount and 20th Century Fox almost vomited blood when they looked at the box office results falling like a cliff!
And yesterday, Murdoch, the boss of 20th Century Fox and the world-famous media magnate, was surrounded by a group of reporters at a charity dinner organized by the governor of California to ask him about the film Titanic.
Opinion?!
"You asked me about the big ship?"
Murdoch said bluntly: "can I say Cameron is an asshole?"
Well, Murdoch, who is worth 10 billion dollars, is also very angry.
At the moment, Zucker looked at the little plum and said, "Leonardo, the box office of Titanic is really not so good now, but who is sure it can't rise? Man, be confident. You're Jack. You're the man in the bow shouting that you're the king of the world
Little plum was happy on the spot.
The haze before him is swept away!
Because he suddenly thought that although he was miserable, Zhuke was even worse.
You know, before the release of the film, when other people can't avoid it, Zhuke took the initiative to bump into it and invested tens of millions of dollars.
At present, it is estimated that it will be washed away!
People are just like this. When they see that others are more miserable than themselves, their mood will be much better.
$1.5 million!
Yes, Xiao Li signed a five-year endorsement contract with a total price of $1.5 million, equivalent to $300000 per year!
This price is in line with the law of the market, but also in line with the small plum's current value, even a little higher. After all, except for the big boat, he hasn't had a new movie in years. Of course, if we wait for Titanic to be popular all over the world, then the price will have to be doubled.
And at that time, little Li was not likely to take a fancy to the image of SpongeBob house.
As a passer-by, Zucker, of course, knows that!
In February 1998, the movie "Titanic" became popular all over the world. German Mercedes Benz and General Motors Chevrolet almost broke the head in order to compete for the endorsement of Xiaoli.
In the end, GM has to be a bit more generous, paying a total of 7.5 million US dollars, signing xiaolizi for three years, but each year is 2.5 million US dollars!
GM's one-year endorsement fee for Li is much higher than the five-year contract signed by Zhuke and Li with a total price of $1.5 million!
Patek Philippe watch, Coca Cola, Tiffany, Givenchy, West Coast insurance
17 contracts.
Yes, in 1998, Xiao Li signed nearly 20 endorsement contracts. The lowest price was $700000 a year, and the total price was more than $80 million (several-year contracts).
It can be seen that at the beginning of the small plum relying on the beauty of the flourishing age, how hot it was!
"Oh, my God, I'm such a smart guy!"
Compared with earning more than one billion dollars in the stock market, Zhuke has a greater sense of achievement and fun in this kind of leak picking.
"The richest man in the world, it's not my goal."
"My goal is Larry Ellison of Oracle, not to be as rich as he is, because I will definitely be richer than him in the future. I want to learn from his attitude towards life. Luxury villas, fragrant cars, surrounded by beautiful women, living a life of envy for others
"That's what Amazon's scallops are like. For the first half of his life, he was stingy, reluctant to spend money, and busy all day for work. However, since 2015, his temperament has changed greatly, he began to enjoy life, divorced and constantly changed his girlfriend, and his luxury has surpassed that of Larry Ellison. "
For a moment, Zucker had fantasies.
Huh?
"Now that you've taken the plum, it's wonderful to take Kate Winslet and let Jack and Ruth become the spokesmen of SpongeBob house."
.......
Just two days later.
Under the initiative of taro Hashimoto, the new CEO of the chain stores around SpongeBob house, Kate Winslet, who is still a little transparent, signed the endorsement contract with great excitement.
The total price is 1.2 million US dollars, and the signing time is eight years.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Ke also planned to sign a long-term contract with Li Zi for 8-15 years, but the smart Li Zi didn't agree.
The second best way is to sign a five-year contract.
That is to say, from this moment on, the chain stores around SpongeBob house owned by Zhuke have three image spokesmen, namely jack, Ruth and Theron!
In recent days, when shooting a new group of SpongeBob house posters, Theron said that he would sign a new endorsement contract with Zhuke.
For the sake of everyone's good friends, of course, Zhuke refused her!
"Friends belong to friends, business is business!"
This is the basic social law that has been passed down in the United States.
Zucker is not afraid of Theron's emotions. If you can't even accept this, then this friend can't do it.
For example, Zucker and James Sean are old leaders and good brothers, but they will not have his share in the option dividend award in the next year.
Why?
Because James did not make a particularly great contribution!
At the same time, he is not irreplaceable among the companies under Zucker. So options and dividends are nothing to do with him.
.......
At the end of December, just after Christmas, Zach Schneider came to see him.
"Boss, is Sparta 300 ready to start? I've been looking forward to this day for a long time
After hearing Zach's words, Zhuk was immediately happy.
What can we do?
Yes, of course. After all, Zhuke made a promise himself!
"You can be stingy, but you can't lose your integrity."
This is a sentence that Zhuke often talks about.
.......
Time goes by.
In the twinkling of an eye, Hollywood has entered the middle of January as usual.
But!
However, Titanic, which has long been sentenced to death by the media and major film critics, has once again entered the public eye.
"My God, the box office of Titanic has already exceeded 100 million in North America?" A representative of the cinema side exclaimed.
At the same time, the major media, major film and television companies, film critics, film audiences, also suddenly found the strange performance of Titanic!
"The first watch" is presented.
