After John broke up with Danie, he went straight to the Coca-Cola Company branch in New York.

The deputy general manager in charge of branding, Vest Mars, was found.

The deputy general manager of Coca-Cola Company looked at John as if he had drunk too much Coke, sat on a chair with a big belly and said, "Director Chris Deng, I heard that you have an advertising placement that you need to talk to me about?"

"Yes, Mr. Mars, I have a movie that is about to start shooting, and there is a very good scene in it that shows your company's products!" John said, taking the storyboard script from the Hermès leather bag he was carrying, and handing it to Mars.

Mars took the script and didn't read it, but casually put the storyboard on the table: "Director Chris Deng, I have never heard your name among Hollywood directors, I don't know what movies you have made?"

John smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Mars, I just graduated from film school, and the current "Stealing Love" is my first work. ”

After listening to John's words, Mars frowned and looked at John and said: "Director Chris Deng! Although Coca-Cola has a big business and is willing to invest money in movies to promote the company's brand, our investment has standards, and you completely do not meet our company's standards." So I'm so sorry!"

After Mars finished speaking, he handed the storyboard script of "Stealing Love" on the table to John.

"Mr. Mars, even though I'm a rookie director, this is a film with an investment of more than $10 million, and your company can get a good promotion for only $500,000, which is very cost-effective for your company. John naturally understood that this Mars looked down on him, but he didn't care, for a man who had lived two lifetimes, this reality he could still accept.

And isn't this society like this? When you have not proven your strength, to talk about equality with others is tantamount to a fool's dream.

I don't care how much the investment in this film is, I only care about the director and the lead character of this film. The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, and the partners we work with must also be classy, so as not to devalue our company's corporate image. So we can't work with you. Mars looked at John disdainfully after speaking, for this kind of rookie director, he didn't know how many times he would meet in a year.

If every rookie takes the script to Coca-Cola and can take away a sum of money, then what has Coca-Cola become, ATM?

For his part, Mars would rather spend $1 million on product placement in a Spielberg or James Cameron movie. He was also reluctant to take $10,000 to show the product in the rookie's work, because it was an insult to the Coca-Cola Company.

For Mars's somewhat insulting words, John also became a little unhappy after listening to it, he lived in Morgan's house since he was a child, and no one around him was respectful to him, and now he was actually attacked by the deputy general manager of a branch, if it wasn't for his dream of directing, he would have been sucked on Mars's old face full of flesh.

John tried hard to suppress the small flame in his heart, looked at Mars and said, "Mr. Mars, we can sign an agreement in advance, if the box office of this movie does not reach 70 million US dollars, then I will refund your company's advertising placement fee, how about it?"

By doing so, John can be said to have put himself very low, and if Marles doesn't do this, then he can only give up Coca-Cola and start from scratch to find another company to work with.

When Mars heard John's words, he felt that it was a fantasy, a rookie director actually boasted about the box office of 70 million in Haikou, and really thought that the box office of 70 million would be broken, so he rejected John without thinking about it: "Director Chris Deng! I made it very clear, this is not a matter of money, but that our cooperation with you will affect our company's brand image." You might as well try your luck at some small company!"

"Damn! It's shameless......

Although John couldn't really slap Mars's face with the sole of his shoe, he still greeted all the women in Mars's family in his heart.

When the greeting was finished, John stood up very gentlemanly and looked at Mars and said, "Mr. Mars! ”

After leaving the gate of Coca-Cola, John exhaled the anger in his heart, and the shadow of being a bad teacher lingered in his heart, and age and seniority were shortcomings for him. The only thing he can do now is to overcome temporary difficulties, and when "Stealing Love" is released and proves his strength, age and seniority will no longer be the roadblocks that stand in his way.

After John sorted out his mood, he immediately walked towards the reserve company, he had already considered the failure factor when making the plan, so after each intended company, he added a few companies to the preparation to replace it.

The reserve company that replaced Coca-Cola was Coca-Cola's arch-rival, Pepsi.

Just as John was about to get ready to take the car to PepsiCo, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind that stopped him from going to PepsiCo.

He came up with a brilliant way to increase the success rate of PepsiCo signing with him.

After the Coca-Cola incident, John saw the distance between himself and these big companies, so if he wanted to sign a contract with these companies, he had to improve his strength and increase the chips in his hands.

Thinking of this, John hurriedly took the car back to Morgan Manor, this time he decided to play a big ticket, but when he got into the car, he looked back at the Coca-Cola logo placed on the building behind him, and smiled maliciously.

Back at Morgan Manor, after John saw old Morgan and Mrs. Morgan, he hurriedly shut himself in the study, found a paintbrush and drawing paper, and kept writing and drawing.

He was going to design a Coke bottle for PepsiCo, yes, a bottle.

In 1915, the Coca-Cola Company registered a patent for the curved bottle, and since then the glass curved bottle has been the exclusive property of the Coca-Cola Company, and the curved bottle has also become the logo of the Coca-Cola Company.

Today he is also going to design a bottle for PepsiCo and make this bottle the Pepsi logo.

The bottle John wanted to design was simple, a limited-edition aluminum bottle from the Coca-Cola Company. This limited edition aluminum bottle was only launched by Coca-Cola after the new millennium, so John now has no trouble copying it, as long as he replaces the red bottle with a blue bottle and the Coca-Cola logo with the Pepsi standard, there is no technical content.

After 1 hour of writing and drawing, John designed a total of 3 aluminum bottles for PepsiCo Company: regular edition, limited edition, commemorative edition, and 3 aluminum bottles.

The regular version is the main product of the usual sales.

The commemorative edition serves as a product to promote the brand.

And the limited edition is used to improve the style.

After the bottles were designed, John asked Dani to take his blueprints, find an aluminum company, and spend $5,000 to make the three bottles.
