Chapter 159: Let's Compete
"Thank you very much for your forgiveness, sir, you are like a good angel who forgave me for my ignorant stupidity!
An Lina was very excited to thank Zhou Ming, and she was even about to cry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhou Ming was very surprised by this, it was just a simple pretending to be a slap in the face, he didn't know how many times he had experienced this kind of thing since he was reborn, is it necessary to be so excited?
"The atmosphere in Mexico is very arrogant, and most of the rich people have some connection with the underworld, so if people who don't have a little status in the family offend the rich, they will easily be found by the underworld. ”
Antonio told Zhou Ming: "Just last year, a nationally renowned rock star, because he was drunk and talked to a rich man a little heavier, was found hanging on the Maya Bridge the next day, and the death was very miserable, and the singer seemed to be in the same agency as An Lina." ”
I see!
Zhou Ming was surprised and suddenly realized, this is the Mexico he saw on the Internet in his previous life, he will kill him if he doesn't agree with him, no matter what kind of star or politician he is, even if he is the police chief, he is safe from time to time.
These stars may be beautiful in front of ordinary people, but in front of those real heroes, they are just some high-end playthings, once they collide with these big shots, they will launch bloody revenge, and the death of the rock star obviously left a big psychological shadow on An Lina, so when Antonio said his identity, she would be scared like that.
Maybe for herself, it's just her generosity, and she doesn't want to deal with these little stars who don't know the sky, but for An Lina, she feels like she has come back from the ghost gate.
She didn't know how she became the chairman of the National Telecommunications Company, she only knew that the National Telecom Company was a very large company, and the person who could become the leader of the company must also be the top person in Mexico, and she could decide her future at will. It is precisely because of this that when Zhou Ming said the words of forgiving her, she would be so grateful to Zhou Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, thank you or something, I'm in a good mood today, and at the same time, you just work hard to shoot this advertisement well, and don't have any negative news in the near future!"
Zhou Ming's tone was casual, but An Lina immediately said resolutely after hearing it: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely take my 100% seriousness to shoot this advertisement!"
"Sir, if you don't have anything else to do, I hope our advertising shoot can start as soon as possible, because I have a lot of other work to take care of. ”
After Zhou Ming and An Lina finished speaking, director Guzmán suddenly urged Zhou Ming to start quickly, which made Zhou Ming wonder why he was not afraid of his identity? Later, Antonio explained to Zhou Ming that the director was from a certain big family, so if he didn't really fall into a fundamental conflict of interest, he was not worried about revenge.
Zhou Ming didn't plan to find fault with him, and the incident with An Lina was just an accident, so the filming of the advertisement began soon.
According to Guzmán's arrangement, the filming of this advertisement will be carried out in the studio, watching An Lina, who was dressed coolly, constantly doing various actions in front of a blue curtain according to Guzman's guidance, Zhou Ming felt very bored, so he brought Guzman's script to see what kind of advertisement the great director had prepared for himself.
The script is written by Guzmán's team, Guzmán personally conceived the storyboard language, An Lina plays a girl who grew up in an orphanage in the advertisement, and has the contact information of her parents under the guidance of angels, but she has no money, and finally she finally found the sales of the contract machine through continuous pursuit, and finally dialed her parents' phone through installment payment.
After patiently reading the script of the entire advertisement, Zhou Ming had to interrupt the filming of the advertisement, and at the same time called the director Guzman.
"Dear Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask if my script displeased you?" Guzman asked very bluntly.
Zhou Ming replied: "Director Guzman, I'm sorry for interrupting your shooting, but I just finished reading your advertising script, please forgive me, I don't understand what you want to express in this advertisement." ”
"Please forgive me for saying bluntly, sir, what you are reading is a storyboard script, which is a script for the director, of course ordinary people can't understand it, if you really want to know, then I can explain it for you. ”
Guzmán then explained the script to Zhou Ming, which was basically similar to what Zhou Ming understood, but Guzmán became more and more excited the more he talked about it: "This is a great story, he tells a girl's family affection, as well as his vision and expectations for the future, telling people that they can't give up hope at any time, I believe this will be a very great work!"
After the other party finished speaking, Zhou Ming said: "Director Guzman, I can believe that you are pursuing art, and you will also have the emotions you want to express, if you are shooting a movie, then I believe it must be a very good work, but what we are shooting now is an advertisement, so I think he should have something different, and should not pay too much attention to the story and connotation......"
Guzman suddenly interrupted Zhou Ming's words: "Sir, are you teaching me how to shoot works?"
"Of course not, I'm just saying what I think, after all, this ad is very important to me. Zhou Ming said.
"I'm the best director in Mexico, whether it's a film or a commercial, I know why?
"Director Guzmán, I think you misunderstood, I am very sure that you must be taking this ad very seriously, I just have some new ideas about the content of your advertisement. Zhou Ming explained.
Guzman smiled: "Do you have any new ideas? ”
Ignoring the sarcasm in Guzman's words, Zhou Ming analyzed very seriously: "I can believe that this story must be a good story, but the problem is that you spend a lot of space and footage to describe the whole story, but you downplay the most important thing in advertising, that is, the product, so I think we should highlight our contract machine products and the marketing concept of zero-yuan purchase, rather than portraying an irrelevant story." ”
"This is not an irrelevant story! This is an adaptation of a famous fairy tale, the little match girl, that is the most famous fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, it is a famous story that can move everyone, I have adapted the fairy tale, added more plots, and is richer in connotation!" Guzman emphasized to Zhou Ming, "And not only that, I also added very advanced computer special effects technology to this advertisement!"
Guzmán said and stretched out his hand to An Lina's side: "Sir, do you think An Lina's performance in front of the curtain is very strange, but because these computer special effects technology has not yet been added, after these special effects are added, there will be very gorgeous magic and holy light, which will bring very shocking visual effects to the audience and deepen the audience's impression of the advertisement." ”
Zhou Ming was helpless: "I think Director Guzmán hasn't understood my thoughts yet, I'm not accusing you of being careless, nor am I doubting the connotation of this story and your post-production technology, I just want to say that this advertisement still hasn't made a clear center, that is, my product." ”
"Then I can also solemnly tell you, sir, my story and your product are inseparable, with my story can lead to the advertising product, the story and the product are equally important, I don't have any intention of hiding the product, and there is no need for this!" Guzman said unceremoniously-for-tat, "This ...... Mr. Zhou Ming, I know you are a very successful businessman, but this is art!"
"You businessmen, always think that you are great, always think that you know everything and want to master everything, even shooting an advertisement has to point fingers, as if you give money and you are the center of the universe, and even you will stretch out your dirty hand to some actresses, this kind of behavior is a stain on art and an insult to artists!"
Guzmán's words were resounding: "I tell you, maybe other directors will succumb to you, but I, Guzmán, will definitely not! This commercial will either be shot according to my ideas, or you will hire another master!"
Guzman's words made everyone else, including An Lina, applaud, but when they saw Zhou Ming's eyes later, they lowered their heads again.
Zhou Ming was helpless, feeling that the director regarded himself as one of those local bosses who liked to command and shoot indiscriminately.
In his previous life, Zhou Ming had a friend who was a screenwriter who vomited bitterness with Zhou Ming after getting drunk, saying that all screenwriters and directors in the film and television industry were deeply disgusted by investors for having to add their preferences to the film, after all, this would not only change their things beyond recognition, but if the box office and word-of-mouth failed in the end, they would also throw the pot to the screenwriter.
This is the case at home, so looking at the temper of this Guzmán director, it is obvious that in Mexico the situation is even more serious.
"This damn old guy, Mr. Zhou Ming, or I'll just beat him up. The hyena whispered to Zhou Ming.
However, Guzmán, the most famous director in Mexico, can also understand English, and his eyes immediately widened, and he also said in English: "Okay! You can hit me today, but I can assure you that no one will shoot your commercials in the future!"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "Director Guzman, please rest assured, of course I won't beat you, it's just an impulse of my bodyguard." ”
Guzman snorted coldly and obviously didn't appreciate it, Zhou Ming thought about it at this time and said, "Otherwise, let's have a competition, right?"
