“What’s the most we can offer in compensation for this role?”
"Manager, no more than three thousand yuan at most."
"Then give her a reward of three thousand yuan."
"But manager, she is just a newcomer and is not worth such a high price..."
"Whether it's worth it or not, I don't want you to think it's worth it, but I think it's worth it!"
“…..”
“….We pursue the highest service in advertising. Her appearance perfectly fits the fresh and sweet girl-next-door image in the advertisement. She is the most suitable…
Isn’t it right to provide the highest compensation to the most suitable candidate for the role..."
Recalling what Liu Hao's father said that day about using his position to "abuse power for personal gain", Gao Yuanyuan still felt a little ashamed. Holding her face in her hands, she could still feel the heat from that day.
"It's so embarrassing. If you meet his family under such circumstances, will you misunderstand our relationship..."
.....
Gao Yuanyuan sat cautiously next to Liu Hao, and pulled Liu Hao's clothes with some uneasiness.
"Isn't your father an artist at Beijing Film Studio?"
"I am an art director, but I started my own business a few years ago."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't even ask."
"Then this advertising company belongs to your father?"
"It turns out that it was acquired by someone else the year before last, but I stayed in the original company and now I'm working for someone else."
"Then your father's position is so high..."
"I don't know, I'm not a wage earner yet."
....
The door of the office was opened, interrupting Gao Yuanyuan's chat. Gao Yuanyuan couldn't remember how she walked in.
"Did he hold my hand all the time? Or did he push me in..."
Gao Yuanyuan still felt empty-headed when she recalled it.
I don’t know what to call Liu Hao’s father.
"Why do you still show affection in front of your father?"
Liu Hao's father glanced at Liu Hao's hand holding Gao Yuanyuan's hand and said, there was no trace of blame in his tone, but more praise and encouragement.
Then he looked at Gao Yuanyuan curiously, as if he were meeting his daughter-in-law for the first time.
Such a beautiful girl only thinks that her son has the ability to do whatever he wants.
Ashamed, Gao Yuanyuan quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly, and shrank the hand held by Liu Hao.
I am too weak to pull it.
His hand was always held by him.
"Although you should study hard at your age, your father and I are no longer an antique. It's normal to fall in love or something, and I won't object to your affairs..."
Liu Hao's father started talking nonchalantly, and Gao Yuanyuan didn't even remember much of what he said.
Mimi Lake.
.....
"You and I are just classmates and friends... It's not that kind of relationship anyway..."
Gao Yuanyuan rested her beautiful chin on her left arm on the table, looked at the soft light of the desk lamp and said to herself.
It's like talking to a person.
His tone became weaker and weaker.
Suddenly Gao Yuanyuan stood up straight, went to the bookshelf, rummaged for a while, took out a beautiful notebook and put it on the desk.
With light movements, you slowly open the page from the first page, and a sweet smile appears on your beautiful face inadvertently, so sweet that it can melt people.
Starting from the first page, there are lyrics written on it, which are songs that Liu Hao plays and sings to Gao Yuanyuan on weekdays when no one is around.
"They are all songs written for me..."
"Love has to be forced", "Those Years", "Waiting for you to finish class"... There are lyrics for each song on the page. Gao Yuanyuan looked at these lyrics and started humming along with them.
As one of the leading soul singers, Gao Yuanyuan gives people a ballad feel in every song she sings.
The blank space on the paper is filled with playful little notes.
They were all small notes sent by Liu Hao to Gao Yuanyuan, and she carefully kept them all.
After flipping through seven or eight pages of the notebook, Gao Yuanyuan stopped.
I opened the book "The Shepherd Boy's Fantasy Journey" that I bought when I went shopping with Liu Hao, and took out a piece of paper tucked inside.
Gao Yuanyuan found a pen, looked at the words on the paper, and began to copy them carefully and neatly on a new page of the notebook.
"you are the one I love"
After capitalizing, another line was changed.
"In the happy country of love
you are my only one
The only thing I love is you
Yeah...it's you I really love..."
.....
"Dad, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why are you already bald?"
At his son's reminder, Liu Hao's father touched his bald forehead and looked a little helpless, "Don't worry, there have been many and troublesome things recently, especially there is a big client to win over..."
The trash can next to the desk was filled with crumpled garbage. On top of the documents spread out on the desk were illustrations drawn by Liu Jianguo, the former art director, for advertisements.
Liu Hao pulled the document without politeness, took it into his hand and started to read through it.
"Wahaha?"
From its establishment in 1987 to today, Wahaha has become the leader among domestic beverage companies and a well-known enterprise in the country.
Wahaha has previously reached cooperation with foreign parties such as the French Danone Group and will establish five joint venture companies this year.
The one-time introduction of foreign investment of 45 million U.S. dollars, and the introduction of a large number of world-advanced production lines in the 1990s from Germany, the United States, Italy, RB, Canada and other countries, is about to show off its capabilities.
"Wahaha will launch the purified water brand this year. In order to make it popular, it spent a lot of money on advertising and bidding for this brand."
Large companies like Wahaha are the best partners for advertising companies. Not to mention the money, the influence alone makes advertising companies flock to them.
Everyone wants to win the bid. Although the Huayi Advertising Company where Liu Hao's father currently works is a leader in the industry, it is not easy to win the advertising task of Wahaha.
We still have to rely on strength to speak.
Huayi Advertising Company does not lack such business, but for Liu Hao's father Liu Jianguo, this business is too important.
It is too difficult to stand out, and Liu Jianguo and his team have never been able to come up with a satisfactory advertising plan.
Seeing his son looking at it carefully, although he was satisfied, Liu Hao's father didn't think Liu Hao could help him.
Many things suddenly emerged in his mind, and Liu Hao suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Sure enough it will appear again!
"Dad, have you ever thought about shooting an advertisement in the form of a music video?" Liu Hao suddenly said.
"Music mv?"
Liu Hao explained: "It is a music short film, a short film that is paired with music. It lasts three or four minutes and is almost as long as the music. It is very popular now."
Liu Hao's father thought for a while and shook his head, "Advertisements must be broadcast on TV. Every second is money. Advertising lasts for a few seconds or more and no more than one minute at most. It doesn't need to be as long as three or four minutes."
..."
"You can edit the MV to more than ten seconds when shown on TV, and add a few simple advertising slogans at the end, such as, 'Pure, can stand the test, love him, treat him to drink Wahaha purified water'..."
Just a few lines are enough, simple and clear, so that it can be spread word of mouth and be deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"That's the case..." His son's words made Liu Jianguo's eyes light up, thinking about this possibility.
Liu Hao continued to persuade, "Moreover, the songs and MVs can be placed on the radio and TV charts. As long as the songs are popular enough and can be popular, you can remember the advertisements as soon as you hear the songs..."
"How can a song become popular so easily? To be popular, at least it must be a good song, and a good song must be composed and sung by someone. This requires a lot of people and sophistication, and it also costs a lot of money.
If you spend a lot of money, you have to increase your production budget. If your budget is higher, your quotation will be higher. Can you compete with others?"
Advertising songs have actually existed for a long time. "My Future Is Not a Dream" sung by Zhang Yusheng in 1988 is such a song. It is an advertising song for "Black Pine Sarsaparilla", a carbonated drink of Wanwan.
Liu Jianguo had not thought of this method before. While the budget was limited, the most important reason was that he had no connections in the music industry.
"Dad, I have songs here." Liu Hao finally showed his fox tail.
"...."
.......
Liu Hao quickly wrote down the lyrics and music of a song that just came to his mind on the blank paper.
""The One I Love"?" Liu Hao's father saw the song title on the paper and glanced at Liu Hao, only to see that Liu Hao had found a guitar from somewhere in the company.
Play and sing softly.
"...in the pure world of love
You are my only one..."
It seems like it was born to be used as a pure water advertisement, it is really suitable.
Liu Jianguo looked surprised and asked with a little doubt: "Did you create this?"
"certainly!"
"real?"
"Absolutely true!"
"You couldn't have copied it from somewhere, right?"
"You can find anyone to identify it."
Seeing his son's calm and confident face, Liu Jianguo was convinced.
Liu Jianguo stared at Liu Hao for several seconds, as if he had gotten to know him again, and then remembered that his wife and eldest son had said that Liu Hao had indeed changed a lot these days.
"Maybe it's because he fell in love and learned how to make progress that he became like this." Liu Jianguo looked at Gao Yuanyuan again, becoming more and more satisfied.
"My son is so terrifying, so talented..." Liu Jianguo looked at the song in his hand and was overjoyed.
.....
".....The only thing I love is you
What I really love is you
you are the one I love."
There were drops of sweat on Gao Yuanyuan's smooth forehead. Only then did Gao Yuanyuan finish transcribing the song.
It was copied neatly and without any mess. Gao Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
My heart is hot, my eyes are filled with admiration, and the smile on my face is even sweeter.
Just like that day.
"Is this a new song you wrote?" Gao Yuanyuan asked in a low voice while Liu Hao's father was immersed in enjoying the song.
"Of course, I just created it."
"Just a few minutes?" Gao Yuanyuan was even more shocked.
"Just a few minutes," Liu Hao winked at Gao Yuanyuan proudly, "I wrote it for you, you are my only one..."
Liu Hao didn't care that his father was just beside him, so he blurted out disgusting words of love.
"You're so talkative again," Gao Yuanyuan curled her lips, but the smile on her face couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and she said with emotion, "You are so talented."
"You just met me. I'm so talented and more people like me. Shouldn't you hold on to me tightly and act sooner? Be careful that I get seduced by others first..."
"Whoever seduces will take it..." Gao Yuanyuan replied duplicitously.
"Haha, is it tasted? Don't worry, my heart is as solid as a rock, and you are the one I like."
"I don't know who was so close to another girl before..."
.....
Gao Yuanyuan took out a guitar and started playing and singing like Liu Hao.
Uh...it smells like a folk song.
Halfway through the play, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly burst into laughter.
"I don't know how I can write such lyrics, so explicit, I just want to open my mouth..."
.....
There is a thick stack of envelopes in the drawer, which are Gao Yuanyuan's previous compensation for shooting advertisements.
Three thousand yuan is really a huge sum of money.
Gao Yuanyuan finally made up her mind, picked up the huge sum of money and walked out.
