Chapter 143 Personal Brand

"Ah! Sorry boss, I seem to be in trouble. Bayi Chinese? W=W≤W.81ZW.COM" Pei Minyi shrank her neck in embarrassment.

"It's okay, you just turned a little bit in the wrong direction just now, they came for me, it's none of your business." Xiao Yao saw the person standing by the car clearly, and comforted Pei Minyi with a smile.

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he unfastened his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car, and greeted with a smile, "Sister Xi, why are you so angry?"

The person next to the car was wearing a long red woolen coat. Even in winter, he showed a slender figure. It was Yin Xi.

"Of course it's because of you, kid!" Yin Xi said angrily, "Are you leaving? You have come to this creative park, and you don't even say come to my studio to see me. Can I be happy?"

Xiao Yao hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I don't want to disturb you."

"Excuse me... what is it?" Yin Xi saw Xiao Yao's assistant driver open the car door, and held back the swearing that was about to burst out.

"Ms. Yin Xi, hello." Pei Minyi said to Yin Xi after getting out of the car, "I was really sorry just now, I didn't notice that your car was behind me, and the steering movement was a little too big, almost missed you, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Yin Xi's attitude towards Pei Minyi was much better, and he waved his hands and said, "If you didn't turn around suddenly, I haven't noticed your car, and I wouldn't have discovered that Xiao Yao came to the Creative Park. Leave so quietly."

"Sister Xi, I'm here to do something, and I just finished it now, and it's getting late, so I'm in a hurry to go back." Xiao Yao said, "Next time I will make a special trip to see you!"

"Don't do it next time. It's really getting late now. We're going to eat. I just need to find you." Yin Xi said, "I know that a newly opened restaurant nearby tastes very good. I'll take you to try it. I'll lead the way in the front, follow my car." After saying that, he was about to walk to his own car behind.

"That... Boss, you and Ms. Yin Xi are discussing personal matters, or I won't go." Pei Minyi said, "You drive the car away, and I will take a taxi back by myself. If you don't want to drive the car into the school , just parked outside, I will drive it back later, anyway, sister still left a set of spare keys at the residence."

"It's okay, Pei... Minyi, right?" Yin Xi greeted enthusiastically, "Aren't you her assistant? I also have work-related matters to discuss with him, so you can go too." Yin Xi saw Pei Minyi's Not many times, I am not as familiar with her as Fang Yiran, but at least I know that she is Xiao Yao's assistant.

"I'm an assistant, not a manager." Pei Minyi shook her head and said,

"Even if you discuss work during the meal, it's more suitable for sister Yi Yi to be present. My assistant and makeup artist won't join in the fun. I have to go to class soon."

"Are you still going to class?" Yin Xi asked strangely, "Which one of you two is a student?"

"She's in an English training class." Xiao Yao smiled and explained to Yin Xi, and then said to Pei Minyi, "You can drive the car back, I'll take sister Xi's car, and I'll ask her to take me back to school after dinner .”

"That's fine, then I'll go first! Miss Yin Xi, goodbye!" Pei Minyi nodded and said goodbye to Yin Xi, then got into the car again and drove away.

"I know that I love your assistant, sister, I am your driver, right?" Watching Pei Minyi drive away, Yin Xi glared at Xiao Yao again, and walked towards her car.

"If you don't want to, I can take a taxi back to school by myself later." Xiao Yao followed Yin Xi to her car.

"Go, you just said that because I'm sure I won't let you take a taxi when I'm driving." Yin Xi walked to the front of the car, but instead of going to the driver's seat, he grabbed Xiao Yao and turned the car The key was caught in Xiao Yao's hand and said, "Go by car."

"Ah? You let me drive your car?" Xiao Yao looked at the car keys in his hand and said.

"Yeah, haven't you already got your driver's license?" Yin Xi said, "Sister, I also enjoy having you as my driver."

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and simply took two quick steps to the side of the co-pilot, opened the door and bent down to make a gesture of please, "Miss Yin, please!"

"Hmm~" Yin Xi nodded in satisfaction and got into the car.

Xiao Yao helped her close the door on the co-pilot's seat again, then trotted to the driver's seat, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, then turned around and asked Yin Xi, "Sister Xi, where are you going?"

"No. 618, Wutong Road, strictly remember private dishes! Go out and turn left..." Yin Xi commanded.

"Just have the address! I have the map of Shencheng in my head, and I know how to get there." Xiao Yao interrupted Yin Xi, and reminded, "Seat belt, thank you!"

"Only you can!" Yin Xi gave Xiao Yao a white look, pulled down the seat belt and buckled it up.

Strictly remember that Private Kitchen is not the kind of public restaurant that opens on the side of the main road. The restaurant on a small road has an elegant environment, is expensive, and there are not many customers in the restaurant, which is just right for two people to chat while eating.

"Tell me first why you came to the Creative Park today?" The two sat down in a private room, and after ordering, Yin Xi first asked Xiao Yao.

"I went to a special effects company in the park today. The owner of the company is a teacher in our school..." There is no need to keep things a secret from Yin Xi today, Xiao Yao shared the purpose of going to the creative park today with Yin Xi Xi said.

"Animated movies? This is a very expensive project, a small special effects company, can it work?" Yin Xi was a little surprised, "You brought your studio to invest together?"

Yin Xi knew that Xiao Yao had filmed an MV by himself before, so he was not surprised that he asked a special effects company to do post-production special effects for the MV, but animated movies? She does not doubt Xiao Yao's talent and ability, but in terms of financial resources, even their studio may not be able to independently support the funds required to produce an animated film. As for the special effects company... Yin Xi has a general understanding of the companies in this creative park. These pioneer companies have nothing to say in terms of technology and creativity, but most of them are small companies similar to studios, and financial resources are also very strong. limited.

"Do you need other investors? Do you want me to participate in the investment?" Yin Xi continued.

"This animation film has nothing to do with my parents' studio for the time being. It was made by Teacher Tong and I. I haven't told my parents yet." Xiao Yao said, "But other investors are definitely needed. It's just Teacher Tong and I and their company definitely don’t have enough funds. Whether it’s my parents’ studio or yours, we all welcome your investment.”

"What is the total production cost? How much do you still need?" Yin Xi asked, and began to think about his current financial situation in his heart.

"How much is there?" Xiao Yao looked at Yin Xi and said with a smile, "Sister Xi, from your tone, why does it seem that you want to fill up our funding gap? Can you tell me how much you have been a model all these years?" How much money did you earn, how much is your net worth now?"

"Go, do you care how much money I have now? Is it still worth it? Don't talk about my financial resources. Even if I have so much money, I can't invest all of it in this animation movie of yours. I still have a studio to run. I It’s about calculating what proportion of how much money I invest.” Yin Xi said to Xiao Yao angrily.

"It's really hard to say now, and we can't predict how much money will be needed to complete the production of this animated film." Xiao Yao said, "My plan with Mr. Tong is to make some clips first, on the one hand, as a future Looking for proof of investment from other investors, on the other hand, is to estimate the approximate total cost from the production costs of these clips. It is normal for the production cycle of an animated film to take several years, so we plan to find money while producing .”

"You mean to use your own money first, when the money is not enough, when will you go to investors?" Yin Xi understood.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "The contract signed by Mr. Tong and I does not specify the specific ownership ratio of the film. Now our project does not have much start-up funds, but we will continue to invest in the future, and according to the funds invested by both parties in the future Come to distribute, so when we are really short of money, I will remember to come to you."

"You can't afford a lot of money at once, but you believe in your ability to continue to make money, right? It seems that you not only want fame for this animated film, but also want profit. No wonder you found such a company A small special effects company is here to make animated films, and the ownership of the things you create will not be easily handed over to others." Yin Xi saw through Xiao Yao's purpose.

"Don't just talk about me," Xiao Yao didn't answer, and changed the subject, "Sister Xi, you haven't said what you want from me?"

"Two things!" Yin Xi raised two fingers and said, "First, I will officially inform you that my studio has set a date for its official opening. On the sixth of next month, there will be an announcement announcing the official establishment of the studio." For the press conference and celebration reception, you should already have your winter vacation, remember to come and attend when the time comes."

"February 6th?" Xiao Yao did some calculations, then apologized with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Sister Xi, you still told me that the first official rehearsal date for the Spring Festival Gala happens to be February 6th, and I should hold it in Yanjing It's the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, I'm afraid I won't be able to come!"

"CCTV Spring Festival Gala?" Yin Xi asked.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "This year, the director team of CCTV Spring Festival Gala selected me and Chen Chen's "The Great Wall". I rejected the Spring Festival Gala once last year. This year is not good and I will not give CCTV face again. I have already agreed to participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

"Did you reject CCTV's Spring Festival Gala last year? So many celebrities wanted to go to the Spring Festival Gala to show their faces, but you refused, you are really awesome!" Yin Xi looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Last year, I was young, self-willed, and ignorant!" Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly.

"Bah! It's true to be self-willed, and it's fine for others. You, who has been called a monster since you were a child, have the nerve to say that you are young and ignorant?" Yin Xi rolled his eyes at Xiao Yao and said, "Last year, I was young and ignorant. After a year, I will grow up." grown up?"

"Last year I was a senior in high school, and this year I am a college student. In the eyes of others, it is still a bit different." Xiao Yao said with a chuckle, "Besides, I rejected it once last year, so there must be a limit to self-willedness." .”

"Okay, the Spring Festival Gala has more face than me, you have already agreed to others, and I won't make it difficult for you." Yin Xi waved his hand and said, "The second thing is, how about building a fashion brand with me?"

"Be a fashion brand? How do you do it?" Xiao Yao asked very interestedly.

At the New Year’s Eve party before, Xiao Yao also heard Shazhou casually mention that many celebrities now have their own businesses, and there are also many who open restaurants and sell clothing under their own brands. Xiao Yao is a photographer himself, and his sense of fashion is also very good Yes, I also considered this issue at the time, but I didn't think about it carefully. Making animated films now requires money, and it was Yin Xi, a world famous model, who came to him as a partner, Xiao Yao was immediately tempted.

"Of course it's selling clothes, but it's not just selling clothes." Yin Xi said, "I remember that I also told you the purpose of my studio. I am interested in both the fashion industry and the film and television industry. In terms of film and television, my agent People have already helped me win two roles in the movie. Although they are all supporting roles in vases, they have already started. In terms of fashion, I originally planned to hold a fashion presentation in the short term after the studio was established. , to launch my own fashion brand. But the works of those young designers I hired didn’t satisfy me, so I thought of you.”

"You don't want me to be a fashion designer, do you? I can't do that." Xiao Yao said immediately.

"Is it really impossible?" Yin Xi looked at Xiao Yao playfully and smiled, "I heard that when you participated in a TV show, you helped design costumes for many people."

"That's different. I just made some modifications based on the original finished garments. I'm good at picking clothes, and I can barely make minor changes, but I don't have the ability to design brand new clothes. "Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Okay, then you don't need to design, just give me your name." Yin Xi said.

"My name?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled.

"Did you know that the two hooded sweaters of you and Gong Chen have become the most popular clothing on the Internet?" Yin Xi said, "Now there are dozens of online stores selling the same clothing that you both wore on stage, and the business is good. You prepared Gong Chen's women's long sweater, right? Since so many fans like the clothes you wear, why don't you create a formal personal brand? You name it and authorize it to my studio , I will find someone to help you design, based on your image on the stage, create a series of this style, officially marked with your ys iconic 1ogo, it should be able to open up the situation soon."

"You mean your studio, come to help me build my personal brand? I thought you set up a studio to build your own personal brand." Xiao Yao said.

"Of course I have to build my own personal brand, but now the style and characteristics of the works designed by those designers for my brand are not outstanding enough, and it is difficult to attract people. You are different, you already have a special image and style , the foundation is much better than mine, so I will help you build your personal brand first. When I have good works, it will not be too late to start my own brand, and I didn’t say that a studio can only create one brand.” Yin Xi said.

"Are you planning to launch my personal brand at the first fashion show after the establishment of the studio?" Xiao Yao then asked.

"Yes," Yin Xi nodded and said, "After the establishment of the studio, there must be a follow-up action. This fashion show is bound to be held. Since my personal brand works are not attractive enough, I will take Your personal brand will be the first shot for my studio to break into the fashion circle."
