Chicago is located in Illinois in the Midwest of the United States, east of Lake Michigan, one of the magnificent Great Lakes of North America, one of the famous international financial centers, and the third most populous city in the United States (after New York and Los Angeles).

Motorola Inc. is headquartered in the suburbs of Chicago. In addition to office space, it is home to a number of laboratories, seven of which are home to world-leading R&D and testing technologies.

Office building, president's office.

Chief Technology Officer Johnson pushed open the door and shouted: "Hi, Smith, I have good news for you, there is a new breakthrough in the technology department, and the color screen difficulty has been conquered, haha......"

Smith stood up abruptly and said in surprise, "Really? So fast! ”

"Naturally, it's true, haha, our technical department is determined to get this new Motorola Z927 out by the end of the year, and now we are ahead of all our opponents." Johnson said excitedly, "At the year-end meeting, you want to give everyone in our technical department a big red envelope!" ”

"It's all a small matter," Smith called Johnson out, and then called in Elizabeth, the female secretary.

Elizabeth was a Caucasian woman, blonde with blue hair and a plump figure. She brought a cup of coffee and placed it on the president's desk.

"Hasn't that Oriental kid's plan been negotiated yet?" Smith asked.

"No," Elizabeth said, "but the little guy recently put forward a new condition, hoping that we can cooperate in the promotion and launch the new generation of Motorola Z927 ahead of schedule." ”

A strange smile appeared on Smith's majestic face, and he said, "Is that little guy crazy?" It's so complicated, just for his movie? I really don't understand the way of thinking of Orientals! However, now that the technical department has overcome one difficulty after another, this epoch-making product has the possibility of being launched, and the publicity should be on the agenda. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Smith said, "Tell me to make a plan." I hope that this propaganda project will not be limited to China in the east, but will preferably cover the whole world. After all, our customers are branches all over the world! ”

This hot summer is not destined to be too peaceful.

The Korean company Samsung has launched a new mobile phone with MP3 function to play music, and the ringtone is no longer as monotonous as before. Siemens has also released a new product, the mobile phone actually carries a mobile memory, which can store multiple music, and the mobile phone functions have become more diverse. Ericsson has not launched a new mobile phone for the time being, but it has released the wind in advance and has developed a color screen mobile phone!

When the people of the world are looking forward to it, on July 6, Motorola's publicity for Motorola Z927 was launched on a large scale. Streets and alleys, city buildings, Motorola propaganda posters everywhere.

According to statistics, this summer, Motorola spent as much as 100 million dollars on publicity!

In just three days, major cities around the world knew that Motorola was about to launch its latest product. This product has a variety of functions, not only a color screen, but also an MP3 function, a mobile storage function, a photo function, and a handwriting function! It's an epoch-making product, and no phone can compare to it.

Whether it's Ericsson, Samsung, Siemens, Nokia, they are overwhelmed by Motorola's overwhelming publicity. The new products launched by these mobile phone companies have reached the point where few people care about them.

Motorola's propaganda is well done. But the strange thing is that each of their propaganda posters has a few lines of special text on it. These few lines of text briefly illustrate that in order to launch this epoch-making mobile phone, the company invested huge advertising money to sponsor three films, and the upcoming first movie "Nightclub"!

The promotion of the mobile phone was actually linked to the movie "Nightclub". This made many people feel strange and at the same time, they also became interested in this movie called "Nightclub". And people who already knew about the movie "Nightclub" were even more eager to see this movie released.

The promotion of Motorola Z927 has made the audience of "Nightclub" continue to expand. Many elites in the IT industry have begun to inquire about this movie.

At the same time, major domestic media also launched the promotion of "Nightclub" in a timely manner. The story of "filming a movie in eight days" was taken out again. The main actors participating in the show, Zhao Wei, Li Bing, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Gao Hu, Wang Baoqiang, as well as directors Guan Hu, Ning Hao and others, were even more introduced.

Zhao Wei and Li Bing are all well-known film and television stars. Whether it is the leading actor or the director in the back, they are all little-known little people. As soon as the major media publicized this, everyone became well-known one after another. The TV series starring Huang Xiaoming was revealed, Huang Bo's deeds as a singer were also dug up, and the fact that Wang Baoqiang was a disciple of a Shaolin lay family was also made public.

All in all, because this wave of publicity is so fierce, it seems as if the whole world knows that this movie is going to be released at once!

Kyoto, Youth Film Studio.

Li Bing smiled, put a bank card in front of Zhou Changgong, and said, "Director Zhou, this is the bonus that our President Chen promised to the teachers and students of the film academy. The team with the best results will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan, the two groups with better results will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan each, and the other personnel will each have a participation prize of 3,000 yuan. A total of 508,000 pieces. It's all in this card, and the password is six zeros. ”

"Isn't that a bit much?" Zhou Changgong touched the bank card, quickly put it down again, he said with a wry smile, "I know the situation of "Nightclub", the movie didn't spend so much in the early stage, and now the box office of the movie is still unknown, your company took out so much money to make bonuses at once, what if you lose?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said: "To tell you the truth, we don't have much investment in this "Nightclub", even if we add these bonuses, it is only more than 1.6 million. Recovering your investment is not a problem. ”

Zhou Changgong shook his head, and he said, "That's not how the accounts are calculated. Regardless of how much you have invested in the early stage, I'm afraid it's not a small amount to spend on the promotion of this movie now! The domestic film industry has never engaged in such big publicity. Now those newspapers and magazines outside, pick out a random copy, and there must be information about the movie "Nightclub"! You have engaged in such a big battle, and I will not believe that the investment is only more than 1.6 million. ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Li Bing said: "Director Zhou, we are here this time, on the one hand, to fulfill the previous promise, and on the other hand, we want to release the movie "Nightclub" to other countries and regions. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Changgong frowned, and then let go again. He nodded and said: "I can talk to the people of China Film about this matter, but foreign releases are different from those in China, and we can get less box office share for the same box office!" In addition, although the promotion of "Nightclub" has made a lot of noise, both the scale of investment and the main creative lineup cannot be compared with those blockbusters. So it's really hard to say whether there will be foreign theaters willing to release this movie. ”

"According to what we agreed before, Qingyun Entertainment and Qingying Studio will share the account according to the ratio of 9:1," Chen Yuan promised, "I am very relieved that the distribution will be done by you, Director Zhou." I'm bothering you again this time. ”

Zhou Changgong smiled and said: "I will do my best, and the box office share can't be taken in vain!" Go back and wait for the good news. ”

Bidding farewell to Zhou Changgong, Chen Yuan, Su Muying, and Li Bing went around the film academy again.

Zhao Wei was filming in other places and didn't see anyone. Huang Xiaoming is still stuck in school. He has no drama to shoot now, and he has nowhere to go.

When he saw Chen Yuan and others, Huang Xiaoming was very surprised. He insisted on inviting the three of them to lunch. Chen Yuan didn't refuse, he actually liked this sunny boy very much.

The four of them came to a restaurant called Yuanzhi Yuanwei, Huang Xiaoming greeted the store with a few specialty dishes, and everyone sat by the window and chatted.

Recently, due to the large-scale promotion of "Nightclub", Huang Xiaoming's fame has greatly improved, but after all, he has not seen his works released, so there are not many directors looking for him to film. Even if there is, it is the kind of small director and small crew, a real grass stage team. Huang Xiaoming didn't take on the drama indiscriminately. Anyway, he is now also a film actor who has made two films. After the two movies are released one after another, his value will definitely rise. At that time, it is the most correct choice to take on the play.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Chen Yuan, and Huang Xiaoming is grateful to Chen Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

He said with a smile: "After returning to school, I often think about everyone filming together. It was a busy and tiring time, but I could feel that I was growing rapidly. In just a few months, he has accumulated a lot of acting experience. The crew broke up, and I was really reluctant! ”

"Brother Xiao Ming, if you are reluctant, you might as well join our company. There will be a chance to film together in the future! Su Muying blinked her eyes and said with a smile.

"This ......" Huang Xiaoming looked at Chen Yuan and said with a wry smile, "I also want to, but I don't know if Mr. Chen is willing to accept it?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "You, you don't have to beat around the bush to speak, are you tired?" If you want to join the company, just say it! When the crew disbanded, I thought about inviting you. There is a shortage of handsome guys in the company! But you hadn't graduated yet! Now that you have also graduated, if you really want to join the company, then I welcome you on behalf of the company! ”

Huang Xiaoming's heart blossomed, and the corners of his mouth became bigger. He laughed, beckoned to the counter, and said, "Waiter, add two more dishes!" ”
