In fact, Wei Xiong's plan is very simple, in the TV commercial, there will be three photographs, the first of which is a bearded, tuxedo aristocratic man and a noble lady in a gorgeous gown dancing together, with a 19th-century room in the background.

The second is a man in an old black Prussian military uniform, holding a command knife in his right hand, and a woman in a white dress holding hands, looking at the camera with a serious face, with a garden in the background, and the third in the background, in an old grocery store, a man sitting at the counter, looking down at the newspaper in his hand, and a woman sorting through the shelves not far away.

The men and women in the three photographs are all white, and when the photos are played, the whole picture is white, and the outer box and inner packaging of the Okamoto condom appear on it. And during the commercial, there will be a back-to-back voiceover, which says -- this is Churchill's parents, this is Hitler's parents, this is Thatcher's parents. If we had it, our history would be rewritten.

In terms of content, there's nothing new about the ad, but Churchill, Hitler and Margaret Thatcher are all world-famous politicians.

Especially Mrs. Thatcher, you must know that China and Britain just concluded negotiations last year, and Hong Kong people pay much more attention to Mrs. Thatcher than all previous British prime ministers. A pregnancy avoidance condom is associated with them, if it doesn't give people a refreshing feeling, it can be impressive.

Since it was not a dynamic advertisement, the shooting time and budget were much smaller than that of print advertisements, but Okamoto, as a major international company, had high requirements for the quality of advertisements, and required the production of advertisements to be filmed on location, which increased the production cost by half.

As a result, Wei Xiong, as the planner of the advertisement, had to go out with the company's location shooting team to find a suitable shooting location, but fortunately it was only to take photos, and the places that met the requirements were still easy to find, and the photos of the garden and the grocery store were taken in just one morning.

After stopping for lunch at noon, we continued to take the last set of photos in the afternoon, which was taken in a villa complex in the old road hill of Water, which is an imitation of the 18th century style of European-style villas, which barely meets the requirements of the shooting, but requires a large rental fee.

"Okay, mission complete, I'll leave first if I still have something to do. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that the photo was taken, Wei Xiong said hello to the photographer and left first, not that there was really anything wrong, but that he really has no enthusiasm for work now, and now he is like a person who guards a huge treasure but doesn't know how to use it, no, he thought about it all night last night, and fell asleep in a daze until almost dawn, but he didn't think clearly how to change the road in the future.

However, one thing he is sure of is that staying in the interstellar advertising company is not a long-term solution, after all, the advertising industry is relatively niche in this era and in the future memories he has obtained, deviating from the mainstream industry, and the development potential is naturally not very large.

Walking out of the villa, Wei Xiong walked along the asphalt road that is not wide, while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the road, this belongs to the high-end villa community, the scenery is naturally quite good, but there is no car, you need to walk almost ten minutes away, to the intersection not far from the villa area and wait for the car.

After walking for a few minutes, Wei Xiong turned his head to look at a villa not far from the side of the road, although there was a fence blocking it, but it was still crowded inside, and there was a burst of noise, and suddenly the noise disappeared, and then he vaguely heard something in the first shot of the fifth scene.

His heart moved, and he immediately changed direction and walked towards the villa, as he got closer and closer to the villa, the originally vague sound became clearer and clearer, and when he walked to the door, two people blocked him: "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for outsiders to enter here for the time being." ”

Standing in his position, the scene inside has been seen by him for three or four minutes, as he guessed, there is a crew making a movie inside, but unfortunately because the wall blocks the view, he can't see the actors, he can only hear some voices, to be precise, some lines.

He didn't linger long, he shrugged his shoulders and turned away, and if you looked closely, you would notice that there was a hint of joy between his brows.

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he hasn't gotten off work yet, and he should have returned to work under normal circumstances, but he took a taxi home, but he took out a notebook and wrote it, which was more than four hours, and when he came back to his senses, it was already past dinner.

The harvest is the storyboard of the two films, yes, it is the storyboard of the movie, in those memories he obtained, there are countless movies that are either wonderful or rubbish, and his major in college is cultural studies, a very unpopular major, which happens to involve various text formats, and the electives are Chinese painting, music, etc., so it is not difficult for him to turn the movies in his memory into storyboards.

As for why he applied for an unpopular major like cultural studies, even the elective course was Chinese painting, which seems a bit old-fashioned to young people, which was not only due to his own interest factors, but also related to his background and background, and it can also be said that he had heard and seen it since he was a child.

The two storyboard scripts he drew were "God of Gamblers" and "The True Colors of Heroes", both of which are the annual box office champions of Hong Kong films in his memory, and they will definitely be favored by film companies.

Looking at the fruits of his labor, Wei Xiong felt a sense of accomplishment, but soon he was worried again: which company should he invest these two scripts into? After thinking about it, he aimed at Golden Harvest and New Arts City, two of the largest and most active film companies in Hong Kong. In contrast, the former film overlord is a bit lifeless, and it will be officially discontinued soon.

The next day, he went to the post office before going to work, and sent the first half of the script of "The True Color of Heroes" and the first half of the script of "God of Gamblers" to Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng respectively.

Then he went to work in a happy mood, but unfortunately the dream is full, but the reality is skinny, and things are far from being as optimistic and simple as he imagined.
