After spending an entire afternoon in the Film City, it was already dusk when they returned to the hotel.
Lin Yuner had been called back by Director Cui of S * M Company. Otherwise, she would have been eating outside and didn't want to face Tang Jinyan.
Director Cui and Lin Yuner sat opposite each other in the lounge of the hotel lobby. Director Cui frowned and asked, "Where have you been all day?"
"I went to the film studio to take a look."
"Don't you know you're here to talk about an endorsement?
What's the point of going out alone? "
Lin Yuner didn't say anything.
Speaking of which, it was normal for celebrities to be present when talking about endorsements. Although the company was hiding something, there was nothing wrong with it on the surface. On the contrary, she ran away with someone in the middle of the discussion and disappeared in the afternoon. That was the wrong thing, so there was nothing to say about being scolded.
Director Cui's tone softened. "Tang Dynasty's endorsement this time is very high level. It's targeted to the whole of Asia. The collaborators are at the level of Jackie Chan and Jin Xishan. It's also very beneficial for the promotion of Girl's Generation's image.
Although they need our popularity, it's not like they can't do without us. On the other hand, we need this endorsement very much.
With this kind of confidence, it's hard for us to be firm in negotiations. "
Lin Yuner whispered, "Then let's go with Tang Dynasty's suggestion … Why bother with some terms? They won't cheat us."
Director Cui's eyes widened. After a while, he shook his head and laughed. "Business is business. We have to fight for what we should fight for.
But … "
Lin Yuner looked up at him.
"It's basically settled. The endorsement is long-term. The endorsement fee increases annually. The price is very high …" Director Cui paused and smiled. "Perhaps it's the highest price among your group's endorsements."
Lin Yuner pursed her lips. She suddenly felt a little sorry for him. She replied, "Director Cui fought for it …"
"That's not it …" Director Cui smiled with great satisfaction. "You and I are well aware of the reason.
So, although you're not present, it's no different from being present. "
Lin Yuner was stunned and didn't say anything.
Director Cui continued, "The model is to shoot a short story and a poster. It's very likely that a new poster will be shot every half a year. There will be a new CF every year.
The only rigid requirement of the other party is that when there's a new production to shoot in the future, we have to be there on time. "
Lin Yuner muttered, "He's on call …"
Director Cui said playfully, "There's no such clause with Jin Xishan … You've really put in a lot of effort."
Lin Yun 'er's expression was calm, but her face couldn't help but turn red.
Did he spend so much effort just to summon them to his side?
For Little Xian?
Or … was it because of her, Lin Yun 'er?
Director Cui leisurely leaned back in his chair. "Tang Jinyan's intentions are impure. Do we need the company to find someone to mediate and dispel his thoughts that he shouldn't have?"
"Don't …" Lin Yuner blurted out and then quickly shut her mouth. The blush on her face became clearer and clearer. After a long time, she said, "Xiao Xian is close to him. It's not like you don't know."
"Oh …" Director Cui dragged out his last word meaningfully. "So he's only doing this for Xu Xian."
Lin Yuner turned her head and ignored him.
Director Choi tapped on the armrest and asked with a faint smile, "I'm going back to Seoul tomorrow. Do you want to come back with me, or … do you want to continue shopping here?"
Lin Yuner was expressionless. "Of course I'll go back with Director Cui."
Director Cui laughed. "I think you'd better take a break in Jeju Island and rest."
Lin Yuner was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Is the company really not afraid that we'll fall in love?"
"That depends on who the other party is."
Director Cui said leisurely, "If it's Tang Jinyan … we'd be happy to see him snatched away from T-ara, whether it's Xu Xian … or you."
Lin Yuner's expression was ugly. After a long time, she said coldly, "You're really not afraid that you'll suffer a double loss!"
Director Cui smiled faintly and didn't answer.
How old are you now? You're not 18 years old anymore.
You, Lin Yuner, are already 24 years old. Sooner or later, you'll fall in love.
If you were allowed to 'freely fall in love' with some random artist, then the company would really gain nothing. In comparison, Tang Jinyan is still considered an investment, isn't he?
At least the endorsement right now was a visible return.
"Eh?
Director Cui, Yuner, you're here … "Lin Yuner turned her head and saw Tang Jinyan striding in from the hotel entrance." I'm sorry for the delay in the meeting.
Let's go and have dinner together? "
Director Cui smiled politely. "I'm meeting a friend. Chairman Tang, please help yourself …"
*****
Lin Yuner knew very well what Director Cui didn't say before, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Until she sat down with Tang Jinyan in the restaurant, her expression was still sour.
Tang Jinyan didn't know why she was so inexplicably sullen. He only thought that she was still recovering from the incident at noon. He was too lazy to coax her, so he picked up a bottle of wine and asked with a smile, "Want some?"
The restaurant's saxophone played a melodious tune, and the candlelight on the table swayed. Lin Yuner's eyes fell on the wine bottle. The bright red liquid in the bottle seemed a little ambiguous in the candlelight.
She looked for a while and suddenly said, "You want to make me drunk?"
Tang Jinyan was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hey … forget it. If you don't want to drink, then forget it. I'll drink it myself."
As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and leaned back in the chair leisurely sipping. He looked up at Lin Yuner's blank expression and felt that it was quite interesting.
This girl had always been competitive in front of him and often did silly things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. However, this was the first time he saw her like this. It felt very feminine.
The next second, Lin Yuner raised her knife and fork and began to eat the dishes on the table like a hurricane. That little bit of femininity was instantly destroyed. Tang Jinyan wanted to laugh a little.
Lin Yuner and Park Ji-yeon were sometimes quite similar. They switched from goddess to clown in a second, and both loved to eat.
When Lin Yuner ate, Tang Jinyan could deeply understand why she was called a "crocodile" …
The strange thing was that this crocodile didn't get fat no matter how much she ate. She was as thin as ribs, and the little dinosaur that loved to eat was similar …
Lin Yuner's cheeks were bulging from eating. She looked up at his leisurely appearance and his eyes were still very unfriendly.
He was tasting the wine and looking at her at the same time. It was as if he was admiring the scene of her eating. It was very unnatural.
"What are you looking at?" She stared and said, "Haven't you seen people eat before?"
When she spoke, her cheeks were still bulging, and her voice was unclear.
Tang Jinyan suddenly had an indescribable impulse to poke her cheeks with his finger, so he did so.
Lin Yuner's eyes widened as she watched him stretch out a finger and poke her face twice with a "du du" sound.
"Pfft …" Tang Jinyan spat out a mouthful of oddly shaped food. He quickly got up and jumped away, barely avoiding the attack of the spitter. In the blink of an eye, he saw that the dining table had already been sprayed into a mess.
"Tang!
Jin!
Yan!
Don't get more and more overboard! "Lin Yuner was about to explode." You touched my feet and my face! "
Tang Jinyan carefully defended himself. "But … I washed my hands before …"
"Pfft …" Someone at the next table laughed out loud.
Realizing that they were in public and there were people next to them, Lin Yuner panted and stared at him for a long time. Finally, she stopped going crazy and sat back angrily.
Tang Jinyan called the waiter to change the dishes. The table was empty except for a bottle of wine. The two of them stared at each other for a while. Lin Yuner's expression suddenly became a little lonely again. She leaned back in the chair and said, "Pour the wine!"
