Chapter 51 Studio Trivia

In the early morning, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and shone onto the large bed in the bedroom. The sudden brightness woke Yang Hao up. The sunlight was very dazzling, so he subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hands and squinted. It took him a long time to adapt.

The balls of toilet paper, the sofa, the television, and the clothes scattered on the floor all bore witness to the brutality of last night's battle.

Glancing at Nazha who was sleeping beside him, the thin sheets could not cover her graceful figure. Yang Hao couldn't help but curse her in his heart as "witch".

Although Yang Hao tried to get up as quietly as possible, the noise still woke Nazha up.

Nazha opened her eyes drowsily, and what she saw was Yang Hao's handsome face.

Seeing Yang Hao beside her, Nazha immediately showed a happy smile, sat up from the bed, crawled two steps towards Yang Hao, threw herself into Yang Hao's arms, and whispered intimately,
"My dear, I am so happy to see you when I wake up. It would be great if this could happen every day."

After saying the sweet words, Nazha kissed Yang Hao passionately.

Seeing Nazha leaning forward to kiss him, Yang Hao quickly put his hand on her little head.

Seeing how aroused she was, at this rate, she would go off accidentally again. Although he still had the energy to spare and could easily handle a novice and playful girl like Nazha, if one more shot came on, today would be wasted and he wouldn't be able to do any serious work.

A day's plan begins in the morning. Don't waste time like this. I have important things to do today and can't let Nazha, this witch, mess things up.

Seeing Yang Hao putting his hand on her head and not responding, Nazha pouted and looked unhappy.

Yang Hao hugged Nazha and explained gently: "Baby, I have something important to do today and I have to go to the studio. I can't play games with you now."

"Oh, got it"

Although she heard the explanation, Nazha was still a little unhappy and muttered something under her breath.

"Baby, didn't you say yesterday that you can't lose to other female stars in your career? You should also work hard",
"Oh, yeah, Sister K has been urging me to go to events and auditions these past few days, but I've been making excuses to not go. Since you're going out to work, I might as well go too."

Perhaps Nazha's love-brained little brain was really stimulated by her career ambition, and she actually took the initiative to offer to run the announcement.

Seeing Nazha who was full of career ambition, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Alas! It’s good to have a beautiful girlfriend, but it’s also uncomfortable if she’s too clingy.

After the two had breakfast, they went out separately. Nazha's assistant drove the car downstairs early and waited for Nazha to come down so that he could pick her up to go to the announcement.

When they came downstairs and were about to say goodbye, Nazha, with tears in her eyes, hugged Yang Hao with reluctance.

He said in a firm tone: "My dear, I will work hard and make a lot of money so that I can support you. In the future, we won't have to work and we can be together every day."

After hearing Nazha's words, Yang Hao was both moved and speechless.

So these days, persuading others to focus on their careers is a waste of time?
The reason that inspires career ambition is actually to earn enough money so that you don’t have to work in the future and can date every day.

He is truly a love-brained person, hopeless.

But I have to say, Yang Hao really likes Nazha's love-brained look, especially when the object of her love-brain is himself.

After seeing Nazha off to the car, Yang Hao also drove to the Sohu Building, to his own studio. Xianyu had been lazy for half a month, and it was time to deal with the many backlogs in the studio.

"Mr. Yang, this is a recent job invitation. Please consider whether you want to accept it," said agent Yu Li, handing Yang Hao a work document at the side of his desk.

By playing the second male lead Yuan Hua in "Charlotte's Troubles", Yang Hao has become somewhat famous in the circle. The roles he is auditioning for now are basically the first and second male leads. Not only have the roles been upgraded a lot, but the pay offered is also really not low. However, these dramas are all unheard of in his previous life, so needless to say, they are definitely flops.

"Yu Li, I will no longer take on external roles. Please turn down all auditions that come to me."

This was a decision Yang Hao made after thinking for a long time. He had so many copyrights in his hands that there was no need for him to take on other plays. If he wanted to act, he could just start his own. Even if he didn't have the copyright for some popular dramas, as long as the other party approved the project, he could easily invest money to join the crew. He was so bold as to bring in money.

"So do you want to take these endorsements?"

Yang Hao flipped through the documents handed to him by Yu Li, and saw that several brands such as Weilong Spicy Strips, Anta, Colgate, etc. wanted him to be their spokesperson.

The prices are not high, just one or two million. In terms of popularity, movies really cannot be compared with TV series, and brand manufacturers give endorsement fees based on popularity. After "Legend of Lu Zhen" is broadcast, the endorsement fees will surely increase sharply.

Perhaps the brand was also uncertain about its future development and was afraid that it would become obscure, so the endorsement contracts were short-term, lasting only one year, which was exactly what Yang Hao wanted.

It is actually beneficial for celebrities to take on endorsements, especially endorsements for big brands. Big brands often place advertisements on various channels such as bus stops and social media. The celebrity’s profile picture will appear in every corner of society, and the celebrity’s exposure will increase, which will also greatly help to increase the celebrity’s popularity. It can be said that celebrities and advertisements have a complementary relationship.

Shooting commercials is much easier than filming a movie. You can earn one or two million in just one or two days. It would be a waste not to pick up this kind of money. Yang Hao directly asked Yu Li to accept all the advertising invitations. He felt very happy when he thought about the nearly ten million yuan that would soon be deposited into his account.

After dealing with the daily affairs of the studio, Yang Hao took a look at the company's tax returns.

Yang Hao is serious about paying taxes. He is reborn with a system and can make money easily. There is no need to take risks to earn a small profit.

I didn't use the studio's money to buy my own car, clothes, etc.

In fact, at this point in time, the accounting of celebrity studios is very chaotic. Eating out is reimbursed by the studio, clothes and cosmetics are reimbursed by the studio, and when they buy luxury cars, they rent them to the studio, but they actually drive them themselves. Some outrageous purchases of sanitary napkins, infertility T-shirts, and massage sticks are all reimbursed by the studio.

It was because of these outrageous operations that the studios of some first-tier and second-tier stars actually showed losses in their year-end reports.

These celebrities probably have had too much contact with Internet companies, and although they haven't learned anything else, they have learned a lot about profit and loss in the year-end report.

Everyone knows that celebrities make money, but you turned profits into losses. It can only be said that your behavior is too ugly.

These methods may seem like reasonable ways to avoid taxes, but when it comes to setting an example, they are all original sins.

I vaguely remember that there was a celebrity named Yuan who was exposed for his crime. One of his original sins was that he bought clothes using the studio’s account.

Someone will definitely bring up the Internet giants, saying don’t they all handle accounts in this way? But how can a studio like yours ever compare to the jobs created by other people’s companies?

The social value created is not equal at all, and it is impossible to enjoy the same treatment as others.

In later generations, the management of celebrity studios became increasingly strict, with a clear explanation that a celebrity’s personal income cannot be counted as studio income, and a celebrity’s personal consumption cannot be counted as studio expenditure.
