"Hello, Mr. Peng, are you available now? Yes, yes, Mayor Xu wants to see you." The call came directly to Peng Bo's mobile phone, and the other party was also familiar. Peng Bo released a list of 50 people in 50 years.
At that time, the two parties got to know each other and kept in contact. They also greeted each other on a regular basis.
"Why did the mayor think of me?" Peng Bo asked casually with a smile when he arrived at his office.
The middle-aged man also smiled and poured him a cup of tea, "I recommend it." After saying that, he sat back on the chair. At middle age, even though he was working as a secretary, he was still quite dignified.
"Recommend me... for what?" Peng Bo picked up the water glass, "I haven't had tea for a long time."
"Then bring your own coffee next time. There is only tea in the office," the middle-aged man said with a smile. "To get down to business, I recommend you to go to Monte Carlo to speak as a citizen representative."
"Monte Carlo?"
The other party laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, you were recommended by the expert group, but your statement is true. The mayor will tell you about it later."
"Why me?" Shanghai is full of talents and there are many citizens. Peng Bo never expected that this important task would fall on his shoulders.
"There are several conditions, one is to have an international vision, the other is to be well-known internationally, the third is to have a good image, the fourth is to be good at English, preferably some French... There is no need for experts to talk about these conditions, the mayor is the first
The only thing I think of is you."
Well, what can Peng Bo say? He has participated in countless press conferences on his own lists and participated in countless international business events. He thinks that no one is more suitable for such an occasion than himself.
The mayor had just sent away a group of guests, and when he saw him smiling and extending his hand, "Xiao Tan told you? The experts proposed adding another citizen representative. Both the experts and I thought of you first.
, it seems that you are very well-known in Shanghai."
Just as Peng Bo was about to speak, the mayor waved his hand again, "You have participated in countless such occasions, and the audience is full of world-class entrepreneurs. Now it is the right time to step on such a stage for the Shenbo. By the way, your French
How about it?"
"I know a little bit, but I can't speak well." Peng Bo was very modest.
"Then the whole process is in English. You can take the manuscript back. When you practice, you can go to the TV station or hire a teacher. Pay attention to your tone and expression." The mayor returned to his desk with a smile, "You are not in a hurry to leave, are you?"
"No rush, no rush." Peng Bo smiled.
"That's good. Thousands of slogans were drafted for this slogan, and they picked out a hundred more for me. I don't think they have any highlights. They lack something that is catchy and memorable at first sight.
..." He looked at Peng Bo, "Xiao Peng, come and take a look, you can also draw up one yourself."
oh?
Peng Bo approached the mayor's desk. The slogans were lined with papers. He browsed quickly, looking for those familiar words from his previous life, but there were none. There really weren't any.
"Mayor, can I draw one up myself?"
"you say."
"City makes life better."
"City, make life better?" the mayor said softly, he seemed to be thinking and pondering, "Okay, this is the one, better than any other." The mayor smiled at the case, but immediately took it again
I started writing these words on the paper, "Well, the city makes life better, this is it."
The two of them studied this slogan for a while, but they couldn't change a word. The mayor had no choice but to give up, "Well, mayor, please do your business first. I'll take my leave." Peng Bo was about to leave when he saw the old man.
Tan has come in many times. He also worked in a newspaper office in his previous life, and he knows that there are many people reporting work waiting outside.
"Don't worry, don't worry," the mayor refused to let him leave. "One more thing, I remember, at the Fortune Shanghai Annual Meeting, your company shot a promotional video. It was very good. Now I also give this task to
You guys, shoot a promotional video that can represent the image and taste of the city of Shanghai, a promotional video for the Shanghai World Expo finals."
Ah, there are only two months from now until December 3rd!
"I believe you will do a good job." The mayor bent down and took out a bag of coffee. "My classmates brought it back from abroad. You take it back and drink it. I heard that your company's coffee is unique in Shanghai."
.”
Even the mayor knows this!
"Then if the mayor has time, you are welcome to come to Pengbo Media," Peng Bo took the opportunity to invite, "I'll invite the mayor to have coffee."
"Okay, let's make a gentleman's appointment. If you make a high-quality promotional video, I will definitely drink your coffee..."
Peng Bo had already walked to the door, and another group of people reporting had already come in. The mayor stopped him again, "I heard that Zhang Yimou is in your company now. Ask him to be the chief director..."
Understand, Zhang Yimou shot the promotional video for the Olympic bid. Now, he still has to direct the promotional video for the Olympic bid.
"He is the art director of our company," Peng Bo replied, "I will start preparations when I get back."
"Okay, let him make the movie," the mayor said. "I know he is making a movie and you are the investor, but now this is a major event for Shanghai and the people of the country..."
"The mission of the country is my mission. If a media person can serve the country at close range, it will be the greatest honor of my life. We must also do something for the city we live in." Peng Bo solemnly said, "Photography
It is our duty to promote the city’s image, so the movie can be stopped first.”
If you stop working for a day, you will make a day's profit. Like the Heroes crew, the investment is so big, Peng Bo still feels a little bit uncomfortable.
"What a great guy, Xiao Peng." The mayor was obviously moved. He was very moved and emotional. "If you can say this, I will be able to recommend you in vain, but I can't let you suffer. I will make up for it later."
…
But when Peng Bo called Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yimou shook his head, "Mr. Peng, you know, Heroes is filming now, and the salary and remuneration of these people are money every day..."
"You don't have to worry about money. The movie must be stopped first," Peng Bo said. "I will bear all the losses, but the film must be produced within two months."
"Two months?" Zhang Yimou said anxiously, "It took me more than a year to shoot the short three-and-a-half-minute Olympic bid film in Beijing alone. The length of the Olympic bid film is almost twice that of the Olympic bid film, but it takes less than a minute.
I can't do it all over the country in two months."
However, complaints are complaints. Both Peng Bo and Zhang Yimou understood that once they were assigned, they must devote themselves to creation.
Moreover, this is not an unexpected choice. The success of the Olympic bid promotional video "New Beijing, New Olympics" made Zhang Yimou the "No. 1" in shooting city image promotional videos.
Peng Bo looked at his watch. It was September 3rd. Today, Zhang Yimou officially took command.
In fact, before the decision was made to shoot the film for the World Expo, two promotional videos for Shanghai and Shanghai had already been played at the 130th and 131st Congresses of the Bureau of International Exhibitions. But on the day of the voting on December 3, in the 30-minute final statements of each country
, promotional videos will account for even one-fifth of the total, and it is imminent to launch a "Shanghai Expo final film".
"Don't worry, as long as it's the resources you want to mobilize, I will do my best. From today on, I will be your producer."
