Chapter 10 The daily life of the gambling king selling clothes (I wish everyone a happy New Year)
It was already night when Jiang Bei heard the news, and his first reaction was to reject it. After all, if it was really going to be made into a short film, there would definitely be risks.
However, Li Youqing had her own explanation. In addition to thinking that micro-movie-style promotional videos were more novel, she did not hide the more important reason, saying: "Now the company has not given me resources, and my popularity is already higher than before.
Gradually declining, if we don’t seize the time to produce works, they will soon be forgotten by the public. At that time, the results of the past few years of hard work will be destroyed in one day.”
Following Jiang Bei's previous behavior of "jumping into allies", now in Li Youqing's heart, both husband and wife belong to the same camp, so now whenever she encounters some setbacks in the entertainment industry, she will tell Jiang Bei and discuss solutions.
"No, the total investment in our hot pot is only 50 million yuan, which is completely unable to support a promotional video worth 20 million yuan." Jiang Bei still objected seriously.
no way.
The general direction now is to prevent any of Li Youqing's works from being exposed to the public, so no matter whether the micro-film-style promotional video can be successful or not, filming must be stopped.
"Why? You have to know that if we can succeed, it will be a win-win situation for us. The hot pot restaurant will get publicity, and my reputation will be stable or even increase. I think it is worth spending 20 million to give it a try!" Li Youqing looked displeased.
She looked at her husband with understanding, as if she didn't understand why the man who had always supported her would oppose this matter.
"You also said that now we just open a hot pot restaurant. Even if the final promotional video becomes popular, we will not be able to convert the traffic it brings into revenue in a short period of time. Isn't this equivalent to wasting money?
?" Jiangbei definitely couldn't express his inner thoughts and could only choose other reasons to explain.
However, these explanations were not recognized by Li Youqing.
"Although we can't convert traffic into revenue in a short time, it can lay the foundation for the development of our hot pot restaurant. Moreover, Teacher Ji told me that this short film-style promotional video can also be embedded with some beverage advertisements to earn back the cost in advance.
.After the promotional video is shot, it can even be sold to an online broadcast platform for exclusive broadcast. In this way, it is equivalent to someone taking on the cost risk for us, which is completely beneficial to us!"
Micro movie style promotional video.
It is different from a movie in that it is a promotional film shot purely for the purpose of advertising, so it can fully support the placement of other incidental advertisements. Of course, it must avoid the situation of claiming the title.
Micro-movie-style promotional videos are of a certain duration and contain a core plot that can arouse the audience's viewing, so they meet the conditions for broadcasting on online broadcast platforms.
If we really want to position it as a micro-film promotional video, it can actually be regarded as an advertising film shot using film techniques. Just like in the previous life, McDonald's wanted to launch a new coffee product and shot an 'advertisement' "Lost in the Dark Forest" for this purpose.
horror movie.
"Lost in the Dark Forest" tells a terrifying plot story throughout, but the protagonist and supporting characters in the plot have to hold a cup of coffee in their hands wherever they go.
McDonald's uses this exaggerated dramatic technique to repeatedly emphasize the existence of coffee and brainwash the audience to increase their impression.
Not to mention, the effect is quite good.
It is precisely because of these lessons learned that Jiangbei refused to agree to Li Youqing's choice to invest 20 million to shoot a 20-minute micro-film promotional video.
It would be okay if he was thrown into the street.
If it succeeds in the end, wouldn’t it mean that the promotional video would have to be known to the whole country?
Once people across the country know about it, won’t Li Youqing, who plays the leading role, become popular again?
So it definitely won't work.
But it can be seen from Li Youqing's words that she is determined to spend 20 million to shoot a micro-film promotional video, and the possibility of persuading her to give up this idea is very slim.
No one agreed.
Never give up.
The end result was naturally that the young couple failed to reach an agreement and got into trouble.
Xiao Nizi angrily ate two large bowls of rice and ran to the bedroom. Jiangbei could even hear a slight locking sound.
have to!
This is a familiar scene again.
The old man looked at the leftovers on the table and couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Li You was supposed to be cleaning the dishes today...
The gambling king didn't come home from school, and he didn't even have a servant to wash the dishes...
"I have a headache..."
…
Nozawa Kana has been very anxious recently. The two vice presidents within the studio have submitted their own original animation plans. So far, she has not been able to come up with a suitable plan among the three major camps of the studio.
This is a danger signal.
But there is no way.
In fact, since the last time she saw Fat Blue Man, she has no interest in other original animations. She only wants to obtain the copyright of Fat Blue Man's work and develop accordingly.
But no matter how hard she tried, Zhang Jiuliang, who owned the copyright of the work, refused to sell it.
"My brother said that this is the dowry left by his old man to me. I have to keep it to make money continuously. How can I sell it to you?"
Zhang Jiuliang was also very annoyed that Nozawa Kana kept harassing her, so she walked on the campus of Meilin University while carrying a sack.
"Ms. Zhang, even if you are unwilling to sell the copyright of your work, we can still develop Doraemon in a cooperative way? I believe the benefits it can bring are unimaginable." Nozawa Kana took a step forward.
Xiao Xiaobu followed behind him, occasionally wiping the sweat from his forehead.
There was no other way. This classmate had already circled the school several times at a very fast speed, which made her physically exhausted.
Liangliang suddenly stopped when he heard this, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Nozawa Kana, and said earnestly: "Korana! I heard that you are now the person in charge of a studio under Kyoto Animation?"
Nozawa Kana didn't understand why Liangliang asked this, so she could only nod subconsciously: "Yes."
"Isn't your position unsafe?" Liang Liang glanced at Nozawa Kana's delicate face and asked.
Nozawa Kana's pupils suddenly dilated when she heard this, her mouth opened slightly, with a look of disbelief on her face, and she blurted out: "How do you know?"
Kyoto Animation is a very well-known animation production company in Japan and even around the world. The company has four studios and more than 200 employees.
The competitiveness of such a large scale is also extremely fierce. Take the third studio she is currently responsible for as an example. The two vice presidents below are coveting her position and constantly improving their business capabilities to catch up with her.
That's why Nozawa Kana traveled thousands of miles to China this time, hoping to find an original animation to stabilize her position.
But she had never mentioned all this to anyone, so she was naturally shocked when this student who had just turned 20 saw it.
Faced with Nozawa Kana's shock, Liangliang not only did not answer the question, but instead looked around, then put down the sack on her shoulder, opened it, and took out the new autumn and winter pieces of Atlas Norway brand clothing inside, while casually saying
Said: "Not only do I know that your position is unstable, but I also know that you are not happy at all working at Kyoto Animation."
Nozawa Kana was stunned when she heard this, and then a trace of disappointment inadvertently appeared in her eyes, but she quickly hid it, squeezed out a smile and replied: "Miss Zhang is joking, Kyoto Animation is a world-renowned animation company.
I don’t know how many people are trying to get in, so how can I be unhappy?”
"Oh..." Liangliang said in a long tone, laying out the clothes on the floor one by one, then clapped her hands and said: "Okay, it's not impossible to talk if you want. You can help me sell out these clothes first, okay?"
Question?"
"Ah?" Nozawa Coriander was a little confused by Zhang Jiuliang's inexplicable idea. She pointed at the clothes spread on the lawn with a blanket and asked: "Selling...clothes?"
Liangliang nodded and replied calmly: "Yeah! Selling clothes."
"Why do you want me to come?" Nozawa Kana hesitated and asked.
Liangliang smiled and scratched the back of his head, and said: "This is called a test. It is a custom in our country from ancient times to the present. If you can sell out these clothes and impress me, I will be willing to talk to you about Doraemon."
"But there is no one here?" Nozawa Kana glanced around and found that this place was very remote. The number of students that could be seen in the surrounding area was less than two fingers. How could it be sold without anyone?
"It's okay. I'll be shaking people here. They'll be there soon. Just get ready." Liangliang waved her hand, then walked aside and took out her phone to find a group she created herself and started editing information: Atlas Norway Brand
Autumn and winter clothing sales, limited quantity first come first served, while supplies last!
Editing completed.
send.
There is also a precise address below: Qianzi Lake Yuanyang Lawn of Merrill Lynch University.
After the message was sent, the group was still very quiet, because this was a group chat where all members were muted. There was not even an administrator, only the group leader Ancheng Gambling King.
But Liangliang was very confident. She found a piece of lawn and lay down on it. She picked a piece of grass and held it in her mouth. She crossed her legs and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
"Ah! Today will be another good harvest day!"
Nozawa Kana looked at Zhang Jiuliang silently. She thought that this student was a little confused. Why was it always so confusing to do things?
But soon, she felt ashamed of her thoughts.
Three minutes later, hundreds of people came running across the quiet Qianzi Lake...
"The charity gambling king is selling clothes again!"
"Ah! I saw the latest jacket, a limited edition endorsed by my younger brother!"
"There is also a dress endorsed by the fairy sister! I want it!"
"Mr. Chen's sneakers seem to be good. They are sold out online. I didn't expect to find them here!"
With the voices of students coming and going, this small world was soon surrounded, and Nozawa Kana was forced to squeeze together with Liang Liang.
"Liang Liangliang, what's the discount on this dress?" A student asked excitedly as he picked up a popular red four-letter brother jacket.
"Charity gambling king, how can you sell these shoes?"
"Can you let me buy a few more pieces this time?"
"It's just that the requirement to only buy one piece is really fucking stupid."
The students complained wildly.
At Merrill Lynch University, it is well known that the charity gambling king sells clothing from the brand Atlas Norway. Because the prices she sells are low and they are genuine, every time the clothing she sells is popular with students.
Their crazy looting.
Of course, some people grab it to wear it themselves, and some people grab it to resell it for a second time.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, the charity gambling king has set a requirement that each person can only buy one piece at a time.
Although many students protested, the gambling king still insisted on this decision.
"Don't think about buying a few more items. Buy them quickly. Make way after buying and don't affect the students behind you." Liangliang shouted at the top of her lungs.
"How can I sell this dress?"
"This international friend is selling at a fixed price today. Ask her." Liangliang pointed at Nozawa Coriander, who was at a loss.
In an instant, everyone focused on this international friend.
Nozawa coriander.
Everyone knows him.
In the past few days, I have been hanging around the celebrity charity gambling king of the school. In addition, my good looks and background of Kyoto Animation have attracted the attention of the whole school.
But what puzzles the students is that the person selling clothes today is actually Nozawa Kana?
In fact, even Nozawa Coriander himself didn't understand it. He looked at Liangliang blankly and asked: "Let me set the price and sell it?"
"Of course, let's sell it quickly. I'll go out and get some fresh air first." Liangliang waved her hand, turned around and jumped out of the crowd, hiding in the shade of a tree not far away to watch the show.
As for Nozawa Coriander inside, she was swarmed by students.
"Ms. Nozawa, how do you sell this dress?"
"Ms. Nozawa, I am willing to buy this limited edition dress at the original price."
"Miss Nozawa..."
As more and more students got the news, the entire Yuanyang Lawn across from Qianzi Lake was already packed, with more than a thousand people visually inspected.
This sudden gathering of thousands of people naturally attracted the attention of the school. Director Guo of the school immediately received the news and brought several security guards to Qianzi Lake to check the situation.
"Why doesn't Zhang Jiuliang say that she doesn't want to listen? She's told not to sell clothes anymore and affect the school's reputation, but she doesn't want to. Is it true that the school will expel her?"
"Director, it seems that Zhang Jiuliang is not selling clothes this time." A security guard learned the specific situation from the students and said in a low voice.
"The entire school knows that only Zhang Jiuliang has the channels to get goods from Canadian brand Canadian Clothing, and only she has the guts to ignore school discipline. Who else can she do besides her?"
Director Guo was a little unconvinced. His resentment towards Zhang Jiuliang made him conclude that Zhang Jiuliang must have done this.
"director……"
The security guard wanted to say something more, but was directly interrupted by the furious Director Guo: "Stop talking."
After that, Director Guo walked directly towards the crowd gathered on the Yuanyang Lawn. The expression on his face was full of anger and his aura was full. The students he passed by all shrank away and trembled when they saw him.
But there were still a lot of people, and many students didn't even see what was going on behind them, so Director Guo couldn't get in for a while.
Seeing this, Director Guo could only stop angrily and said angrily: "Security, confiscate all the clothes sold here!"
