The competition lasted for five days, and the time was very tight. From 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, in addition to meals and fixed breaks, there were exams. Athletes from more than 50 countries were divided into two groups. The Chinese team happened to be the same as the Australian team.
We were divided into a group, and the first youth group competition was held. The first subject was physics, but China was in the second group and had to wait an hour and a half before playing again.
The exams for the youth group had to wait until after dinner, so they went back to the dormitory first. The athletes in the youth group who were not competing all rested in a wide hall on the second floor of the library. There were dozens of staff guards around them, and they were not allowed to move around at will.
.
These athletes are all thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys who have never participated in such a competition, so they are very nervous. Some children even go to the toilet from time to time to relieve their nervousness.
Suddenly, four people came to the door and were immediately stopped by the staff.
"This is our pass!"
The first person pointed to the card around his neck and said.
The other party looked at it and immediately asked: "What are you doing here?"
"Find someone...Liu Lang, it's me, come out!"
The leader immediately saw Liu Lang sitting in the corner reading a book.
"Lin Guodong!"
If Lin Guodong hadn't appeared, Liu Lang would have almost forgotten that he was still the spokesperson of Coca-Cola.
"He is the spokesperson of our company, let's come to him to shoot an advertisement now!"
Lin Guodong said to a staff member.
"advertising?"
Several people looked at each other, why are they advertising during exam time?
"Then it depends on whether the athlete agrees? If he doesn't agree, we will not allow you to contact him!"
The staff member said coldly.
"No problem, no problem, it will be done soon!"
Liu Lang came over and said, naturally you have to do something for someone else when you take their money. Besides, Liu Lang didn't take this exam seriously.
"...Okay! Howard, stay with them. If they affect others, drive them away immediately!"
Asking athletes to record ad-hoc commercials during games... This kind of thing has never happened before!
But even if Lin Guodong is a sponsor representative, he cannot affect any unrelated athletes. This is the bottom line.
"Brother Lin, your company is very interesting. If you don't come to me these days, you have to wait until the exam!"
Liu Lang teased.
"Ahem...Liu Lang, I'm really sorry, I've been too busy these days...but we will get there quickly and won't waste much of your time!"
Lin Guodong said apologetically.
"Liu Lang, who are they?"
Lu Mingzhi, who had been standing by the whole time, noticed that Liu Lang was being sought out by a group of strangers and hurried over.
"Grandpa Lu, they are from the Coca-Cola Company. We had an agreement before to help them shoot some advertisements. No, now they are here!"
"Liu Lang is an athlete from our country, and the exam starts in an hour. At this time, you come to him to film. Aren't you fooling around?"
Lu Mingzhi became anxious upon hearing this.
"Grandpa Lu, don't worry...Brother Lin, I only give you twenty minutes. If you can't finish filming in twenty minutes, you have to wait until all my exams are finished!"
"Okay, twenty minutes is enough. Come on, let's go downstairs!"
Lin Guodong looked very anxious and immediately ordered the two people behind him. They should be cameramen. One of them was carrying a heavy camera, and the other was holding a toolbox.
Lu Mingzhi was worried and went to the square downstairs with a staff member.
"Liu Lang, the advertisement is very simple. You hold a bottle of Coke and walk in front of this statue while drinking. Finally, you say: Coca-Cola wishes me to become an Olympic athlete. What about you? That's it!"
Lin Guodong told Liu Lang the lines.
Liu Lang curled his lips after hearing this.
Isn't this false advertising? Your participation in the Olympics has nothing to do with Coca-Cola... Besides, could such a vulgar advertisement be the idea of Coca-Cola?
"Brother Lin, this advertisement of yours is so bad that I can't bear to look at it!"
Liu Lang shook his head and said.
"I have an idea, which is also very simple, but much better than yours... The weather is very hot now. I was drinking a can of Coke in front of the statue and wiping my sweat. Suddenly someone called me: Liu Lang, the exam is about to begin.
! Hearing this, he didn’t care to drink anymore. He quickly put down the Coke and ran forward. However, before he could run very far, there was a sudden sound of burping from behind. When he looked back, the Coke he had just placed on the ground was in the hands of the statue.
There’s also Coke leaking out… What do you think of this idea?”
"This... this creativity... is amazing!"
Lin Guodong was simply impressed by Liu Lang's imagination. This idea was produced in the United States and will probably become a classic advertisement after it is shot!
"Okay, just follow your creativity and shoot it quickly!"
This advertisement is very simple. Liu Lang just held a Coke and raised his head in front of the statue. Then a Chinese staff member yelled in laborious Mandarin. Liu Lang put down the Coke and turned around to leave. After walking a few meters, he turned back and made the same advertisement.
The surprise pose was completed, and it didn't take ten minutes in total.
"That's great, that's great, Liu Lang, thank you so much!"
Lin Guodong couldn't help but express his gratitude to Liu Lang.
"Okay, Liu Lang, I will go back to China in the afternoon. If everything goes well, this advertisement will appear on domestic TV in a month. By then... I will let those people see it. I, Lin Guodong, can only rely on myself."
I can do such a big thing, I want them to know that my ability is not inferior to theirs, no, my ability is stronger than theirs!"
Lin Guodong was very emotional when he said this, and his voice started to tremble a little.
"What's going on with this Lin Guodong?"
Liu Lang noticed something was wrong with the other party.
"Brother Lin, is your boss very dissatisfied with your approach of asking me to advertise?"
"Ah! How do you know? Oh, by the way, I forgot that you can understand what other people are thinking... Oh, yes, they objected to me finding a child to advertise.
Even if you say you want to find a world champion, you should also find a world champion, but in China, who will advertise as a world champion? Besides, your reputation, Liu Lang, is not greater than that of those champions? In fact, these guys are all excuses, and now the domestic market is about to
After being beaten down by me, once I let go, the sales volume will definitely increase exponentially. This is the most successful place, so many people are concerned about it, and they all want to squeeze me away... Why?
This is all my credit, how can they compete with me?"
Lin Guodong was trembling with excitement.
"So that's it!"
Liu Lang understood.
To put it bluntly, Coca-Cola's market prospects in China are gradually getting better. Someone from the headquarters has already wanted to come over to "pick peaches." Lin Guodong has been working hard in the past two years. In order to open up the market, he traveled to almost all relevant departments in the capital and "begged grandpa to tell me."
"Grandma" has led to the current situation. Now when the harvest is about to be harvested, how can he give away the fruits in vain?
Lin Guodong said that his boss's dissatisfaction with him asking Liu Lang to be his spokesperson was probably just a pretense, in order to transfer him to someone "more suitable".
Liu Lang sympathizes with Lin Guodong. After all, he is Chinese, diligent and hardworking, but he still does not receive corresponding attention. There is no way. In today's American society, racial discrimination is still very serious. Chinese people may be able to live a good life through hard work.
, but if you want to become a senior executive, it is basically impossible, unless you create a company like Wan'an.
"Brother Lin, you are well-educated and capable. It is their loss if the company does not reuse you!"
Liu Lang had no choice but to comfort the other party.
"Liu Lang, I believe this advertisement will definitely open up the market. As long as I have results, those people will have nothing to say."
Lin Guodong is full of confidence now.
"Nothing to say! I don't think so!"
Liu Lang thought to himself, the other party has made it clear that they want to kick you out, no matter how good you are, it will be useless.
"Okay, this advertisement needs to be post-processed. I will go back tomorrow, Liu Lang. I will treat you to dinner when you return to China!"
Lin Guodong didn't waste any time, packed up and left with his men.
"It seems that we Chinese are still bullied abroad!"
Lu Mingzhi saw clearly from the side and couldn't help but sigh.
