Chapter 858 Termination of Contract Amidst Turmoil
"A low-budget film with an unknown director ended up being the best-reviewed movie this time. Plus, her look is spot on, and she's super popular right now. Her other stuff has gotten solid reviews too. If she becomes our spokesperson, it would be perfect. Most importantly, she's young and full of energy, just right for our new product," Ainsley added.
Rebecca frowned a bit. "Who?"
Rebecca had been so wrapped up in the new product that she hadn't watched any movies or kept up with entertainment news.
"Natalie Teeger," Ainsley replied.
Rebecca repeated the name in a murmur. It didn't ring a bell.
"She's an actress from Dynamic Entertainment. A movie called 'The Nameless Road' came out around Christmas. I saw it with a friend. Funny enough, after watching it, we were both really moved. We had dinner, got drunk, and even cried. I thought it was pretty good," Ainsley explained.
Rebecca said, "Have the PR team reach out to Natalie's team about the endorsement."
Ainsley said, "Even though Natalie is new and not as established as Wendy, she's on the rise. Wendy, despite her awards and reputation, has had some flops, and the audience isn't as into her anymore. Plus, with Wendy suddenly ending the contract, it puts our brand in a tough spot. Also, Natalie and Wendy are from the same company."
Ainsley's point was clear: the entertainment industry didn't revolve around Wendy alone, and finding someone younger with a hit project would be a good way to snub Wendy.
Rebecca was very pleased with this plan.
Seeing this, Ainsley left the office and immediately had the PR team contact Natalie's team.
Meanwhile, Heather also got the news since Natalie happened to be nearby.
Heather reported, "Rebecca wants you to be their spokesperson for her brand."
Bella frowned. "U&M? But isn't it caught up in some controversy?"
Heather said, "Yeah, it is. But aside from that, U&M is still very powerful. Ms. Swan, you're in the industry, so you should know this brand. It's a domestic luxury brand that can compete internationally. Rebecca is known for spending big on designers and marketing. Their ads are everywhere—on subways, planes, trains, even on billboards outside central buildings. It's a good endorsement. However,"
If the memory served Heather well, this brand recently signed a new spokesperson.
Heather added, "This brand has always worked with Wendy and even integrated into her new reality show. Wendy hasn't done reality TV in years, and this brand tailored an ad specifically for her show. They even hyped up the new spokesperson on Facebook a few days ago. The sudden news must be because 'The Nameless Road' is doing well at the box office, making Natalie very sought after. Also, Wendy ended her contract due to the plagiarism issue."
Bella said surprisingly, "Ended? If Wendy ended her contract, it must have been a big deal. Wouldn't it be bad for Natalie's reputation to endorse U&M now?"
