Life stabilized for the time being, and the man began to look for a job again. He opened the website and habitually skimmed through the news first. A piece of news popped up on the homepage of Sina: The Chinese film market is on the rise, with the box office increasing by more than 20% for four consecutive years. He was just about to take a closer look, when Liu Li jumped over from behind, hugged the man's neck and asked, "Husband, what are you looking at?" ”

The man stroked her arm with one hand, pointed to the computer screen with the other and said, "Look at the news, the film market seems to be pretty good lately." ”

Liu Li leaned over, looked at it, and suddenly patted the man's shoulder and said, "Yes, let's go to the movies, I haven't been there for a long time." ”

The man thought about it, he hadn't watched a movie for a long time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!" Liu Li jumped up and down to change her clothes.

Liu Li packed up and stood at the door waiting for the man. The man was changing his shoes, and suddenly the phone rang, and he took it out to see: Brother Shengli's phone! Since the man left the Northern TV station, the two of them only made an occasional phone call to bless them during the New Year's holidays, and they usually don't have much contact, especially after falling out with Fan Debiao, the man is even more embarrassed to contact Brother Shengli. Brother Shengli called suddenly, presumably something was wrong?

"Hey, Brother Victory!" The man was still very excited to receive a call from Brother Shengli.

"Hehe, how is my little brother doing? Why haven't you been talking to me on the phone lately? ”

"Hehe, Brother Face, I'm afraid you're busy, I don't have anything to do, so I haven't contacted you, are you okay?"

"I, I'm really influenced by you, and I'm going north."

"Huh?" The man was taken aback, when he resigned, Brother Shengli said that he had also thought about it, but at that time, the man felt that he was just comforting himself, because Brother Shengli was hired by Taiwan and had a career, so how could he leave easily. Unexpectedly, the tiger in Brother Shengli's heart finally tore through the cage and rushed out.

"Brother Shengli, are you serious?" The man asked in surprise and excitement.

Brother Shengli's voice was very calm: "Why, you can only come to Beijing to develop, I am not allowed to come and see, I also want to make a light, can't I?" ”

"Haha, it's too late for me to be happy, you're here, I have another friend, we can meet and chat when we have time, how nice."

Brother Shengli also smiled and said, "That's right, but I'm going to talk to you about business today." ”

"Well, you say." The man knew that Brother Shengli should have other things to talk about.

There was a pause on the other side of the phone and asked, "Man, I heard that you and Fan Debiao didn't have a very pleasant business, right?" The man's heart was shocked, in fact, the last thing he wanted to mention was this matter, how did you ask him to tell Brother Shengli? Say that Fan Debiao is unreliable and unrighteous? But firstly, the two of them were college classmates, and secondly, when he first came to Beijing, Brother Fan did help the man. But if you say that Fan Debiao is good against your will, then why did you break up again?

The man was still hesitating, and Brother Shengli continued: "Man, you don't have to be embarrassed, I have lived in a bedroom with Fan Debiao for four years, I know his character very well, I don't know what happened to you, but I guess I also know that he is a big fool, and he must not have fooled the business, right?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Shengli, I won't hide it from you, Brother Fan is very good, I did help me a lot when I first came to Beijing, I sincerely thank him, but the matter of starting a business is ...... I can't blame anyone, I have my own problems, I was too impulsive, I didn't think it through, and I didn't talk about it in advance, and it turned out to be a bunch of misunderstandings, and it ended up being a little unpleasant. ”

Brother Shengli snorted and said: "I know that you failed to start a business, so I want to talk to you about cooperation now, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Oh?" The man asked curiously, "Do you want to start a business too?" ”

"Of course not," Brother Shengli coughed, "That's the case, a friend I met when I used to work wanted me to go to a media group to do business, I investigated it for a long time, and I felt that both this industry and this company were very good, so I made up my mind to join." The man listened quietly.

"But after I came, I found that the company was extremely short of personnel, and I was the only one in the Ministry of Commerce, so I asked the boss for instructions, and now I am in a hurry to recruit a few people, and I thought of you."

The man nodded as he listened, "Oh, that's right, but what can I do?" ”

"Haven't you always been planning, and you have worked in DT, just come over, I do business, you do planning, double swords, invincible, how good!"

The man was still hesitating, and Brother Shengli continued without saying anything: "I know that introducing Fan Debiao to you at that time really hurt you." You should be at a low point now, my brother doesn't say that it's helping you now, at least there is such an opportunity, you think about it. The man thought for a moment.

To be honest, Fan Debiao's affairs are still lingering, and he worked with Brother Shengli for a year before, and found that Brother Shengli is also a person who has nothing to do and messes around, so can the work he introduced be reliable? Thinking of this, he asked, "Oh, Brother Shengli, what company are you talking about?" ”

"Brother Lu."

"Oh." The man had never heard of this company.

The man is a little dilemma, Brother Shengli invited so sincerely, how could he refuse immediately? He thought about it, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Shengli, I cherish this opportunity, but I still want to talk about it first, see the situation, if I can really help you, I will definitely go!" ”

Brother Shengli laughed happily on the other end of the phone, saying, "Okay, brother, I'll tell you about your situation with the company, and soon our brothers will be able to join forces to fight!" ”

Liu Li pouted and waited at the door for a long time, obviously unhappy, and asked, "Who, who has been fighting for so long?" ”

The man hung up the phone, waved his phone at Liu Li and said, "Didn't you hear? Someone you know. ”

"I know? Who? ”

"Brother Shengli, I used to be in the same department as Northern TV Station."

Liu Li silently read the name, thought for a while, and said, "Oh, Shengli, I remember, why did he come to Beijing too?" ”

The man changed his shoes, clapped his hands, stepped forward to take Liu Li's satchel and said, "You can come, why can't people come?" ”

Liu Li looked at the man and said, "He is an old man from Northern TV, he should be a career establishment." ”

The man hugged Liu Li and walked to the elevator and said, "People, there is a devil in their hearts, once they are awakened, they can't be trapped in any cage." ”

Liu Li nodded as if she didn't understand.

After a few more days, the man's phone suddenly rang, and he looked down to see that it was an unfamiliar number. The man picked up suspiciously and asked, "Hey, which one?" ”

"Hello, is it Du Nannan?" An innocent female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I am, who are you?"

"Hello, I am from Lu's Media Group, and I am Dai Xiaoxiao, Mr. Lu's secretary."

When the man heard this, he immediately remembered this stubble and said, "Oh, hello, hello. ”

The man said at the time that he was interested in talking, but he was actually giving himself a buffer. If he goes to the Lu brothers to talk well, he can consider working with Brother Shengli; If you find it unreliable, you also have a serious excuse to refuse Brother Shengli, so as not to embarrass Brother Shengli.

"Oh, that's right, our Mr. Lu gave me your phone number and asked me to make an appointment with you to meet, you are planning it, right?"

"Oh yes. But," the man scratched his head, "but I used to plan the whole advertising case, and you are a film and television company, so it is estimated that it is not the same, so I will make it clear to you first." ”

"Oh, don't worry too much about this, the people we are recruiting now are mainly for business, and the promotion and distribution of the movie itself is done by the team. We just started building a team in business, and there is a shortage of people," Dai Xiaoxiao paused, and then explained, "In fact, the business of film and television is still advertising, but the things sold are different, and the boss on our side also used to advertise, so you must be able to talk." ”

"Oh." The man nodded.

The man asked a lot about the company, and he learned that the Lu Brothers Media Group had been established for more than ten years, and its predecessor was also an advertising company. In 1997, by chance, Mr. Lu met a little-known young director Ma Dao. Director Ma is thin and small, doesn't talk much, was born in advertising films, and persistently pursues his film dream. Mr. Lu had a meal with Director Ma after being introduced by a friend, and found that although this person was not good-looking, he had a very clear mind, and he was very persistent about what he wanted to do, and he was very thoughtful and disciplined, so he made a decision on the spot, took out 3 million, and invested in Director Ma's movie. Mr. Lu was right, Director Ma's extraordinary comedic talent and diligent work style made the box office of this movie reach 33 million, a big victory. Since then, Director Ma has opened up a unique film genre in Chinese mainland - Chinese New Year films.

The man chatted with Dai Xiaoxiao for nearly an hour, and finally agreed to meet Mr. Lu tomorrow afternoon.

On the afternoon of the next day, the man came to the Beijing Media Building in the Northwest Fourth Ring Road as agreed. Entering the building, the man saw a sign in the lobby with an introduction to the company and floor. He fixed his eyes and saw that the Lu Brothers Media Group was their company from the 25th floor upwards to the 32nd floor. What a cow company, the man thought to himself, and walked inside.

On the 25th floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, an antique picture appeared in front of the man. On the left side of the wall hangs an oversized LCD TV, scrolling through the company's introduction and film and television works; On the right hangs an ultra-thin fish tank, where several red koi fish swim around in the water; In front of the large conference room is a carp pond with a small stone bridge connecting with a few stone steps leading to the office area on the right.

The man looked around the office as he walked inside. When he arrived at the front desk, the man politely asked, "Hello, is Dai Xiaoxiao here?" ”

The girl at the front desk raised her head and said, "I am, you're Du Nannan, right?" ”

The man was startled and hurriedly said, "Oh, I am." Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought you would be sitting at the door of Mr. Lu's office, I'm sorry." ”

Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Yes, there is also a seat for me at the door of Mr. Lu's office, but there is no one in the company now, and when Mr. Lu is not in the office, I still have to work at the front desk." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "You come with me, Mr. Lu hasn't come yet, you go here and wait for a while." ”

"Okay, thanks."

The man followed Xiaoxiao inside, and Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you still working?" ”

"Oh," the man said quickly, "I, I just resigned. ”

"Oh!" Xiaoxiao turned her head over, "Oh, that's great, so you will be on the job quickly, hahaha." Xiaoxiao smiled heartily, revealing her neat and white teeth.

Xiaoxiao took the man to a small conference room closest to Mr. Lu, poured a cup of tea and said, "Wait a minute, I will call you when Mr. Lu comes." After speaking, he took out a few magazines from the newspaper shelf in the conference room and handed them to the man, "You can take a look at the magazines first, there is an introduction to our company and the boss, you can call me if you have something." ”

The man nodded in thanks, and Xiaoxiao walked out of the conference room after speaking. The man flipped through the magazine and saw an introduction about Mr. Lu, and the beginning of the article was an artistic photo of Mr. Lu radiant. Only then did the man see that Mr. Lu was not tall, a little bowed, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and his eyes were firm and focused.

The man flipped through the magazines for a while, and after about twenty minutes, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and then a loud voice said: "Xiaoxiao, you go and call Mr. Zhang over, and I will ask him about the payment." ”

Then, the man heard Xiaoxiao's voice: "Okay, but the man you asked Du Nannan, the interview has already come, you see ......"

Through the glass door of the conference room, the man saw a figure stopped at the door, turned sideways and turned back and said, "Oh, I forgot, then let him come to my office first, and then you can call Mr. Zhang after we talk." After saying that, he disappeared outside the glass door in a hurry.

After a while, Xiaoxiao pushed the door in, and said to the man with a smile: "Mr. Lu is here, I'll take you in." The man quickly picked up his bag and followed.

Coming to the door of Mr. Lu's office, Xiaoxiao knocked on the door. "Come in!" A loud voice came from inside.

Xiaoxiao pushed the door in and said, "Mr. Lu, this is Du Nannan." ”

The man hurriedly dodged and came out from behind Xiaoxiao to say hello: "Mr. Lu is good!" ”

Mr. Lu was looking for something in the bookcase, looked back at the man, showed a smile and said, "Hello, please take a seat." He gestured to the leather chair in front of his desk. The man nodded in agreement and sat down. Xiaoxiao closed the door and retreated.

While looking for something, Mr. Lu asked, "You and Shengli were colleagues before?" ”

"Oh, yes." The man paused for a moment and continued, "When I first graduated, I worked at the Northern Channel for a year. ”

"Oh," Mr. Lu said as he flipped through the documents in his hand, "I went to Northern City a while ago to do business, and I met Shengli, and I saw that he didn't want to work in a public institution, so I asked him to manage the Ministry of Commerce." After speaking, he glanced up at the man, "He recommended you to me, saying that the young man is very clever and hardworking, let me meet you." ”

The man was embarrassed to owe his body, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, I actually have a lot of shortcomings, I will study hard." Mr. Lu found the document he wanted to use, and looked down in his own thoughts for a while, and the man sat quietly without speaking.

After about a minute, Mr. Lu recovered from his thoughts, hurriedly sat down on the office chair and said, "Ouch, I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do here, and I'm distracted." ”

The man hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, you get busy first." ”

Mr. Lu crossed his hands, and then looked at the man seriously. He looked at it and asked, "What did you study before?" ”

"I studied English."

"Oh, English isn't bad?"

"It's okay, but it's a bit deserted after graduation, so it's not as good as when I was in school."

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "Yes, you have to practice everything diligently, I used to learn oil painting, and I haven't done it for so many years, and now I don't dare to tell others that I learned to paint." The man listened and laughed too.

"Then did you come to Beijing after you came out of Beibeitai?"

"Yes." As he spoke, the man took out a copy of his resume from his bag and handed it to Mr. Lu, "I worked in Beibeitai for a year, and then I came to Beijing." ”

"Oh," Mr. Lu said while looking through the man's resume, "and went to ...... DT International Advertising? ”

The man sat down and said, "Yes, I've been at DT for two years. The man originally wanted to emphasize his skipping and promotion, but he was afraid that Mr. Lu would ask why he resigned, so he swallowed back the words to his lips.

Mr. Lu nodded and said: "DT is a good company, and it can be regarded as the Whampoa Military Academy among advertising companies." After speaking, he looked at the man, "Then what do you mainly do when you are in DT?" ”

"I started as a planning assistant, but then I became more and more familiar with the work, and slowly completed some of the whole case planning and execution work independently, so I was promoted to the senior planning manager of the DT planning department." The man deliberately hid the matter of skipping a grade and being promoted.

Mr. Lu flipped through the man's resume again, as if he didn't care too much about the later experience, so he didn't ask much, but asked directly: "Are you interested in the film and television industry?" ”

The man nodded and said, "Of course, I think the film and television industry is quite mysterious. ”

"Hahahaha," Mr. Lu said with a hearty smile, "Mysterious? In fact, there is nothing mysterious, you will know it when you do a lot of work, it is no different from your previous advertising, but the content of the work has changed a little. ”

After speaking, Mr. Lu took out a magazine from the pile of books and newspapers on the table, opened it, found a report, pushed it in front of the man and asked, "Look, do you know this person?" ”

The man looked down and saw that it was a photo of Ma Dao, and said, "Of course I know, this is Ma Dao who made a movie." ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said: "Well, we are mainly doing his movies now, and Director Ma will make a movie this year, but it is not a comedy, it is a costume blockbuster." After speaking, as if thinking about something, he paused for a while before continuing, "To be honest, Director Ma is very relieved to make a comedy, and basically will not lose, but he wants to make a high-quality costume action movie this year, and we are still a little worried." Therefore, we want to do entertainment marketing seriously to see if we can offset some costs and reduce some risks. The man listened quietly, also trying to understand the general train of thought of the landing.

"Do you know much about the business of film and television?" Mr. Lu suddenly asked the man.

After chatting with Xiaoxiao last time, the man looked up some information on the Internet, and he knew a little about it, plus Mr. Lu's introduction, he relied on his own understanding and said: "I know some, mainly to implant the company's products and brands in the movie, and help the company do publicity." ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "What you just said is partial, and others, such as premieres, ground activities, etc., can also be well planned and sold to customers." And part of it is to help the producer share the cost, which is a win-win. After speaking, he smiled and pointed to the man, "In addition, I believe that there must be many other forms and methods, and it will depend on your team in the future." ”

Mr. Lu chatted with the man like a friend, from the company's business to his personal life, and the content was very casual. The man gradually relaxed a lot and talked more. He gradually dispelled his initial suspicions about this company, and he felt that Mr. Lu was still very charismatic. After chatting for about an hour, Mr. Lu suddenly asked, "Then can you go to work next Monday?" ”

The man took a breath, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll arrange my affairs as soon as possible and report for duty on Monday." ”

Mr. Lu stood up, looked at the electronic desk calendar next to him and said, "Okay, you can do it as soon as possible." There's only one business person on my side now, and there is no one who is a planner, so you can hurry up and help him, can you? The man nodded.

Coming out of Mr. Lu's office, Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked over and asked, "How is it?" When do you come to work? ”

The man flicked the strap of his satchel and said, "Next Monday, I'll come to work after I take care of things." ”

Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "That's great, I finally have a companion." Come early, the company is too few people, it's really boring. ”

The man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come to work on time and invite you to dinner." ”

Xiaoxiao happily made an OK gesture with the man.
