2805: Making a Living From One's Looks

Making a Living From One's Looks

"Among the younger generation actors, there are not many actors who are as serious and hardworking as you and Gu Xingze! I think that as long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to make your way to the peak!"2

"Thank you for your guidance, Director," Yun Shishi said gratefully.

Actually, she had not taken on that many reality shows recently. As for the ones that she was participating in, it was not because of the remuneration offered by the production team, but because those reality shows were sponsored by the products she endorsed.

Hence, for the sake of publicity, she signed the contracts for the reality shows.

Ever since her public confrontation with Ji Yan and unintentional exposure of her relationship with Mu Yazhe, many production teams had extended invitations to her to work on a show together with Mu Yazhe.

The man actually disliked the glare of publicity, and had an obvious aversion to cameras.

However, for some reason, whenever the production team sent an invitation, he would read the script carefully. If the script did not cross his bottom line, he would ask for her opinion. If she had no objections, he would make a decision to accept the script.

However, his quoted fees were also very high.

Ten million per episode.

This definitely did not come cheap.

His time was very precious. In addition, his popularity had recently far surpassed that of the big-name celebrities in the entertainment industry. Even the popular up and coming stars and A-listers, were not as popular as he.

Popularity pointed to the exposure rate of a public figure.

The higher the exposure rate, the more popular the person was.

Furthermore, as long as he was on a particular show, the production team would leverage on the name list, and looked for potential investors to bid for it.

Typically, the advertisements for segments featuring his participation would sell for millions of dollars per second.

In other words, the television station could earn 60 million by broadcasting four advertisements in a minute.

And this was not even taking ratings into account.

Yun Shishi realized that as long as Mu Yazhe was on the show, the viewership ratings would secure the top rank.

However, when she was on the show without him, the ratings were inevitably unsatisfactory.

Therefore, it was definitely not unreasonable for him to propose a fee of 10 million.

Yun Shishi's remuneration was much lesserq than his. It was only one million per episode. She couldn't help complaining to Qin Zhou, but he said matter-of-factly, "Do you think the audience wants to see you? Actually, what the audience really wants to see is a real-life handsome, rich and domineering CEO! Coincidentally, CEO Mu fulfills all of the audience's fantasies of this persona! It's not surprising that he's more popular than you! After all, there are very few men like CEO Mu in this world! Shishi, how could you even complain that you have no luck. You must have saved the galaxy in your past life to snag a man like CEO Mu!"

There was a moment of silence as the corners of Yun Shishi's lips twitched. "Are you putting him on a pedestal and trampling on me?"

"No, that's a fact."

"Why don't we just let him debut?!" Yun Shishi snorted. "A man like him can rely on his looks to make a living in the entertainment industry!"

"Hmm, are you sure?"

Qin Zhou deliberately teased her. "The entertainment industry is in such a foul state. No matter how strong CEO Mu's willpower is… which female celebrity wouldn't fall all over a man like him? Believe it or not, if CEO Mu were to enter the entertainment industry, those female celebrities will not hesitate to steal your man even if they have to sacrifice their lives doing it! As for this man, perhaps his willpower can help him resist the advances of one or two women! But if a group of them were to throw themselves at him, wouldn't he be tempted?"
