Chapter 626
No, no, no, it's a 3 yuan endorsement fee
The teachers who were grading homework all looked up, their eyes falling on the group of students.
U-Learning is now a well-known education brand.
Didn't they always use celebrities as spokespeople in the past?
This time, they actually want to collaborate with a student who just finished the college entrance exam not long ago?
The students were also stunned.
We looked at each other, our eyes filled with disbelief.
The lively chatter that had just been going on stopped abruptly.
"I am indeed Jiang Yang's homeroom teacher. Are you sure you're looking for Jiang Yang?" Old Li emphasized, "I saw the news that your Youxuepai spokesperson is actually Guan Xiaotong."
"It's just a rumor, it's not credible. The confirmed candidate is Jiang Yang."
"Jiang Yang can't really be considered a celebrity, right?"
“How can you not count him as a celebrity? Jiang Yang is a celebrity, he's quite well-known, and he's also the celebrity with the best academic performance,” Zhang Tao explained.
Upon hearing this...
Tian Xiwei's heart skipped a beat.
I was surprised.
I feel envious.
This is the first time I've seen a brand hire a spokesperson.
I don't know why, even though they weren't there for her, but for Jiang Yang, I was still excited.
Jiang Yang and I graduated from the same school.
She is still struggling in the entertainment industry, accumulating experience through small roles.
Jiang Yang has already been approached by such big brands who want him to be their spokesperson.
This is not only an honor, but also a recognition of Jiang Yang.
The opportunity to be actively sought after by brands is something that many artists would love to do.
I felt proud of Jiang Yang, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
I need to work harder so I don't fall too far behind.
The office was silent for a few seconds. A young female teacher nearby, unable to contain her curiosity, asked in a low voice:
"A brand as big as Youxuepai must have paid Jiang Yang a hefty endorsement fee, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao smiled confidently and slowly said:
“Our endorsement collaborations are divided into three models, and the prices are also tiered. The first type is a short-term collaboration, which mainly involves shooting an annual commercial and coordinating it with online promotion, with a cycle of about one month.”
"The second type is annual cooperation. In addition to advertising shoots, we will also invite Jiang Yang to participate in campus promotion activities, product launches, and several offline events throughout the year."
"The third type is full-domain endorsement, which not only includes all the rights of the first two types, but also launches Jiangyang co-branded products and binds the brand image for a long period of two years."
He paused.
He held up three fingers and added, "The prices for the three cooperation models are different, but no matter which one, the endorsement fee will definitely not be lower than this amount."
"Three hundred thousand?" another middle-aged male teacher blurted out.
His tone was full of admiration: "That's a lot! For a student who's still in school, that's a huge sum of money!"
"No, no, no, it's three million!" Zhang Tao quickly waved his hand to correct him.
They even deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the character "百" (hundred).
We can't let Jiang Yang hear about the misunderstanding about 300,000; if it gets back to him, things will get complicated.
If the collaboration falls through due to a difference in price expectations, all their efforts in finding the school will be wasted, and it will be even more difficult to find such a suitable spokesperson in the future.
Three million?!
A chorus of gasps erupted in the office.
The teachers had no interest in grading homework.
The students were in an uproar, whispering among themselves.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao still felt uncertain.
It's clear that the teachers feel that three million is a sufficient price.
These are numbers that even these students cannot access.
However, Jiang Yang is no longer an ordinary person. He may not be interested in this price and will have to negotiate.
I made a plan on the way here. If Jiang Yang were just an ordinary internet celebrity, there would be no need for him to make a special trip to the school; he could just go straight to Jiang Yang's house.
But the situation is different now.
Directly submitting an endorsement contract would seem too commercial and short-sighted.
Jiang Yang was the top scholar in the imperial examination and had no shortage of fame and fortune.
Even if Jiang Yang hesitated, he wouldn't refuse his teacher's request to go through the school to find Lao Li.
Old Li came to his senses: "Director Zhang, I understand. This is no small matter. Just tell me, what can I do to help?"
Zhang Tao's face immediately broke into a relieved smile.
Jiang Yang's homeroom teacher was easier to talk to than he had imagined.
Actually, you could go directly to the principal about this.
However, when it comes to persuading Jiang Yang to become a spokesperson for the elite school, Old Li, as the homeroom teacher, is far more effective than the principal.
Zhang Tao lowered his voice and said sincerely, "Teacher Li, to be honest, we didn't come to you randomly. Youxuepai is an education company that makes learning machines. Our users are parents. What do parents trust most? They trust schools and teachers. They believe that top students were taught by which classroom and which homeroom teacher."
Upon hearing this...
Old Li felt a sense of relief.
He could tell that the other person was praising him.
Zhang Tao continued, "It's one thing for Jiang Yang to be outstanding, but as long as the endorsement comes from you and his alma mater, in the eyes of parents, it means that the school recognizes it and the teachers have made the right decisions. It's different from those messy commercial hype outside."
Old Li nodded slightly.
I understand.
The other party spoke in official language, and their meaning was clear: they were trying to leverage the school's credibility.
“Teacher Li, let’s go directly to Jiang Yang. He has high standards and wide connections now, so he might not be willing to deal with a brand. But you are different. You have been his homeroom teacher for three years and are the person he respects and cherishes the most. If you just help us by saying a word, building a bridge, and telling him that this brand is legitimate and reliable, it will be good for his reputation and the school. That will be more effective than ten of our words.”
Old Li laughed heartily: "I'm not that good."
Yes, yes!
“Jiang Yang doesn’t listen to me at all.”
"I will listen!"
Jokes are jokes.
"Sit down first, let's talk." Old Li said seriously, "You don't want me to pressure Jiang Yang, do you? That won't do."
“We don’t want you to force him.”
Zhang Tao quickly added, afraid that Lao Li would misunderstand: "We just hope that you can help us create an opportunity to sit down and talk properly. Jiang Yang values relationships and will not put you in a difficult position, much less put his alma mater in a difficult position."
Old Li was silent for a moment: "I understand what you mean. You want to use the school's reputation to make this matter more respectable and decent, so that people won't say that he came out to make money right after the exam."
"Teacher Li, you are so insightful."
Zhang Tao immediately chimed in, "That makes perfect sense."
"When news of outstanding students giving back to their alma mater and helping the school's educational brand comes out, the outside world is all positive."
"Even if Jiang Yang develops in other fields in the future, this endorsement will only be a plus for him, not a hindrance."
He sat down a little further forward, speaking clearly and distinctly:
"And rest assured, we will not let the school help us for nothing."
"We can donate a batch of learning machines and audio-visual equipment to the school later."
“We will also set up a top scholar scholarship in Jiang Yang’s name to reward students in the grade who have excellent grades and come from financially disadvantaged families. All of this can be written into the plan and made completely transparent.”
Once these words were spoken...
The other teachers in the office were eager to come over and listen.
Old Li's eyes lit up: "I'll call the principal first and tell him."
“I’ll go find the principal right now,” Tian Xiwei replied immediately.
This is Jiangyang's business.
She cares more than anyone else.
