938: Victoria's Secret
Gotty was also very pleased and smiled, "This is only part of it. In the media that reported last night's concert, you are usually used as the front page of the cover. In addition, Universal Records has been calling last night to urge you to record a new record quickly. Even if you don't have time to participate in the promotion, they agreed. My personal opinion is that you must record the second record. Although Universal is still easy to talk now, once the contract expires and you have not fulfilled the second album contract, it will lead to a lawsuit."
Suzy next to me, IU and others looked at him enviously and admiringly.
What an honor for a singer to have a big shot like Global to urge recording a record. But Li Donglai still looked hesitant, as if he was disgusted, "What else is there?"
Gotti quickly opened his iPad, "I won't talk about the shooting of the three advertisements, the time is scheduled for a week. The total price of your three advertisements this time is 120 million, and the endorsement funds for the first season have been recorded."
"so much?"
Li Donglai was also shocked, "Goty, if you ask for a price so harshly, they didn't bargain?"
Gotty said seriously: "I have professional ethics and it is my responsibility to create more value for my boss. In fact, it is not me who is cruel, but your value has increased to this point, and this million US dollars will not be called to you immediately. It is all three years of endorsement and priority renewal rights. An advertising endorsement is only 12 million yuan a year. Among them, Volvo Truck endorsement requires you to sell advertising creativity. Excluding the high taxes in the United States, 100 million is not much."
"Okay." Li Donglai had no choice but to spread his hands. "I tried to take time out. But during this period, I was going to film the ending part of "Teddy Bear", because it has been delayed for a long time for the New Year. I can't ask for it anymore, and the publicity plan must be launched... I'll talk about these things, have you taken on other jobs?"
"There are 32 media and magazines including Time magazine that have interview invitations..."
"Turn it all. I don't have time, you know very well."
Gotty was silent for a moment and sighed, "There are also some invitations to perform..."
"Show?" Li Donglai looked at her strangely, "I never do commercial performances. I have to ask me too. Forget it, let me watch it myself." He took Gotty's iPad, flipped through it quickly, and removed it one by one. Gotty's eyes widened when he looked straight, and these were all money.
And Suzy and the others were all talking.
"Huh?" Li Donglai's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a bit interesting. Victoria's Secret Annual Show. They invited several people to sing."
Gotty rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you never do commercial performances?"
Li Donglai just pretended not to hear it, and looked at the model show's list with relish. Suzy couldn't help but curl her lips. Gotty said: "They invited Bruce Mars, Bieber and Rihanna. They didn't expect to invite you. This invitation was the latest. It was only delivered in the early morning, and the show was just tonight. Time was too tight. Why, do you want to go?"
Li Donglai pinched his chin, "If every model kissed me, maybe I would agree."
"Brother, how can you ask others to kiss you?" Suji pouted unhappily and lay on the chair. Li Donglai smiled. He reached out and touched her little face, and said with a smile: "I'm jealous, little girl."
"ah!"
Suzy was shocked and hurriedly stepped back, "Brother, how could you... be like this?" The other women also looked at them openly teasing, and Suzy's face turned red and pouted her little mouth and never dared to talk back to him again.
Gotty had no expression. After hearing Li Donglai's words, he knew that he was only interested occasionally and did not want to go, so he gave up. He nodded and said, "I will contact you, but you have to tell me when I will film "Iron Man 3" and I'm easy to cooperate. Also, you transferred a batch of 50 million US dollars to the special effects studio a few days ago. Is this going to make a new movie? As far as I know, your recent movie plan is only the Chinese drama. With such a large investment, the Chinese market cannot make a profit. Should we take the opportunity to do some publicity now?"
"It's true that the actors have already trained in China. I have all arranged these things, so you don't have to worry about them. "Iron Man 3"..." He pondered for a moment, a little regretful, "It's my last superhero movie. I won't take on such movies in the future, and I'll start filming after the advertisement is completed."
Superhero movies do make money, but that's all. The box office is hard to surpass "Avatar". And he is not short of money now, so of course he has to consider shooting his favorite movie. He owns absolute equity in the Phantom Company and has complete voice if he wants to make any movie.
...
After returning to Los Angeles, Li Donglai first went to the company and set the tone for the new albums of Miss-A and IU. Because of the boss's musical achievements, the recording department also had a job in selecting songs. This time, the girls first arrived in the United States and realized what happiness was. One top song after another was placed in front of them to choose casually. What they had to do was just choose the most suitable one and sing the songs well.
In fact, the record department that Phantom has not opened yet cannot raise so many excellent songs to choose from. It is entirely because Li Donglai also wants to release records. Many good songs were sent by Universal to choose from. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, so he will arrange the two girls first.
Li Donglai has a strong appeal in the film field, but he did not arrogantly think that he can also make a splash in the music field. Before publishing a record for them, it is very necessary to produce a best-selling single, preferably a good ranking on the Billboard.
After many selections, I listened to many demos, carefully asked Suzy and others about their opinions, as well as professional music planning opinions. Finally, I chose a catchy song "CallMeMaybe" for miss-A.
Most of the songs of Miss-a are lively and rhythmic or warm and fresh, and the songs are almost always beautiful since its debut. The four team members perform their duties in the group. Although they are not top singers, they have studied for many years and each have their own style.
The rhythm of this song is playful and light, with a slightly nasal voice, sweet and without pretentiousness, paired with simple catchy melody, retro and playful arrangement, and humming freely.
Just like the warm sunshine sprinkled by autumn, it is also like a caring afternoon dessert, which easily evokes the softest beautiful time in your heart, which is really surprising.
Li Donglai was already moved when he heard this song. He knew it was the most suitable one. A few girls were a little dazzled and had no choice. In the end, he made a decision, "Just this song, practice singing first. Make a MV that matches the artistic conception of the song. If necessary, I can also participate."
"Ah!" Suzy and others were overjoyed.
If Li Donglai could participate in the MV shooting, no matter what the song was, it would have been half successful.
Perhaps it is the superstition circulating in the Korean music circle. The MVs that Lee Donglai participated in are all champion songs. Let’s not talk about Lee Hyori, Girls’ Generation, even Sun Danfei can win the first place, which is not fake. Moreover, Lee Donglai is already different from the past. After becoming famous, who did he shoot MVs for?
In this way, even IU is envious.
Suzy and his friends felt sweet in their hearts and bowed together, "Thank you brother."
Of course, everything will not always go well. IU's song selection is not so easy, and fortunately, there is no need to rush for a moment. It is a blessing to be able to pick satisfactory songs for Suzy and others so quickly. Sometimes, it is only when you work slowly to produce high-quality works.
After relocating them, Li Donglai drove home by himself.
"Sir, you are back." Old Charlie always looks gentlemanly, opening the door for him.
"Charlie, are you okay?" Li Donglai was in a good mood and greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, Miss Emma is waiting for you in the house, Miss Guo Biting is here too."
After hearing this, Li Donglai glared at him speechlessly, but temporarily abandoned his previous thoughts and his expression gradually warmed up.
As Charlie said, Emma was taking a nap on the sofa in the living room, while Guo Biting was reading a book. Guo Biting had no relatives in the United States, and Li Donglai was her closest person. To her, this was her home. Although there was a pregnant woman next to her, she was unwilling to leave here and became more and more indifferent.
In addition, Emma is pregnant and her belly is becoming more and more obvious. Many activities have been pushed away, so she can't go anywhere. It is boring to leave a crazy girl alone at home, so she naturally has to find someone to accompany her. Guo Biting, who is good at speaking and has a good personality, is naturally the first choice.
So Guo Biting took it for granted that he continued to stay here, just like before.
Li Donglai walked over with a slight foot and saw Guo Biting wearing only a white nightgown, long hair draped over her shoulders, plain face facing the sky, still so beautiful, but now he is a bit pure and real.
When Li Donglai came in, she was sitting on the sofa, holding a book in her hand, looking at it quietly, her quiet face gave people a faint sense of beauty, as if even Li Donglai came in and didn't notice it.
However, Li Donglai's action broke the harmonious atmosphere. He walked over like a king choosing a concubine, took the book from her with one hand, and naturally pinched her pointed chin with the other hand and kissed her.
"Woo woo..." This sudden kiss almost made Biting die. It took a long time to push him away, and he said angrily: "It's so shameless, your wife is still by your side."
"Hehe, this will make you more delicious."
As he was talking, a murmur came from beside him, which scared the two of them. Li Donglai quickly let go of the beauty in his arms, and Guo Biting quickly tidied up the disorderly clothes that were pinched on his chest.
When I turned my head and found that Emma had turned over in her sleep, and the blankets on her body were scattered on the ground.
Chapter completed!
