地道美语听力练习:明星产品效应

Nick:The possibilities are endless!

You have to take advantage of being at the height of your career.

Jessica:I don't know about lending my name to a celebrity product line.

Wouldn't people think I was selling out?

Nick:Of course not. Most celebrities do it nowadays.

People expect you to leverage your fame into a successful business.

Jessica:But licensing my name to a lot of products that I would then have to promote isn't exactly how I want to spend my time.

Nick:But think of the upside.

You would be building a brand with longevity,hedging your bets for the future.

Jessica:You mean in the future when I'm no longer as famous or as popular.

Nick:No, of course that's not what I mean.

You'll be a star forever.

But don't you want to get a piece of the pie while the getting is good?

Jessica:I don't know.

What kind of merchandise are we talking about?

Nick:We can start with a clothing line and then branch out into household products, luggage, and even weight loss products.

Jessica:Weight loss products?! What are you implying?

Nick:Nothing! I didn't mean weight loss products.

I meant food-glamorous, beautiful food.

See what I mean?

The sky's the limit!
