Chapter 311: Successful Stratagem (8)
“Director Lu, can I ask you something? I heard that the artist you’ve been wanting to sign is Jian Tong. Because she has been signed by Klan Corporation, you’re looking for the second-best?” the reporter asked.
“Back off?” Lu Manman furrowed her brows. “I never back off. And I never said I wanted to sign Jian Tong.”
This time, there was even more commotion at the press conference.
It was rumored that Lu Manman had to have Jian Tong.
“Ever since the news about Jiang Xiaolian was exposed, I’ve been in touch with her manager, Zhang Wei. We both feel sorry for Jiang Xiaolian, but since she has already caused a negative impact on society, our Lu Firm will definitely not continue to use her for the endorsement. Zhang Wei has also shown his sincerity and kept apologizing to Lu Firm. Our Lu Firm has always been a company that upholds its reputation. Although it’s because of the other party, since it’s a three-year contract, we will naturally guarantee that Dongfang Entertainment will have a three-year endorsement period. That’s why we’ve been discussing the artists with Zhang Wei for the past two days. And among so many artists, I’ve never considered the obvious A-list rankings. The spokesperson that our Lu Firm wants now is a newcomer who has just debuted.”
“Newbie? But someone just revealed yesterday that you and the chairman of Klan Group appeared at Dongfang Entertainment’s management company to snatch Jian Tong’s endorsement,” the reporter asked stubbornly.
“I went to their company, but not to snatch Jian Tong away. I just wanted to discuss the collaboration with Tang Yaoyao. As for why there are other rumors, I really don’t know.” Lu Manman acted very innocently and cracked a joke. “But isn’t this the biggest issue for reporters like you?!”
The reporters laughed, and the atmosphere was good.
“I’m sitting here now to tell everyone that our Lu Firm’s new spokesperson is confirmed, and it is Tang Yaoyao,” Lu Manman said slowly. “And the reason I’m choosing a newbie is simple. I’m also a newbie who just debuted, so I hope to find a spokesperson who will be closer to our Lu Firm’s new guidance and goals. We’re not a sunset company that has been struggling to develop because of its old age. Our Lu Firm has been constantly innovating and rising.”
Lu Manman looked at the reporters below and smiled generously. “Moreover, once bitten, twice shy. With Jiang Xiaolian’s matter, we have to be more careful with our image spokesperson. I’m not denying the morals of the current A-list celebrities. I just believe in the purity of the newcomers.”
Her words made it clear that Lu Firm had never wanted to sign a contract with Jian Tong. They had always been looking to collaborate with a newcomer.
“Director Lu, will it be cheaper for a newcomer to be the spokesperson?! I heard that Jian Tong’s value has already risen to fifteen million yuan!” A reporter bit the bullet and asked loudly.
Lu Manman did not lose her temper. She smiled gently at the reporters. “Yes, it was fifteen million yuan as the endorsement fee. I won’t say it’s too high in front of Manager Zhang.”
Zhang Wei smiled.
The reporters smiled.
“But this amount of money isn’t a huge expenditure for our Lu Firm. After all, if ordinary companies can bear it, we can at least compare to them.” Her words were polite, but she was actually implying that Klan Corporation was just a small company and that Lu Firm would not bicker with them. Moreover, they had repeatedly made it clear that Jian Tong did not make any mistakes with the Lu Firm’s contract. Lu Manman continued, “Moreover, Tang Yaoyao is just a newcomer, and her endorsement fee was originally two million yuan, but our Lu Firm directly offered five million yuan. When it comes to matters that we think are worth it, we will never be afraid of spending more.”
