Chapter 24: Heinz Advertising

Badman and Raymond are still struggling with the two record labels, while Don is already sitting in Apollion's Lion advertising agency, listening to the latest news from Apollion with Jimmy and Maroney.

"We had a lot of luck!" Apollion lay on the couch and leaned his round belly against the armrest: "Guys, that tricky old man at Domino's is very happy with our advertisement, and now the whole of America has placed that billboard with the idea of Donde!" ”

"Thank God!" Maroney is the manager of the agency and a friend of Apollion, and it is he who is usually responsible for some basic matters and creative proposals.

He was dressed in a dark gray suit, a pink tie, and his hair was light yellow instead of blonde.

Jimmy also applauded in celebration.

Dudley is not among the few, because since the last time he was on the set, he was entangled by the girl who had measured the size with his hands on the set, the kind that never let go, and even dragged him to meet his parents.

Hearing the bad news, both Apollion and Jimmy expressed their silence for it, and stepped into the cemetery of marriage so early, and could only say that they should not attack women at will.

Therefore, the position of photographer is now taken on by Donde, and Jimmy is in charge of lighting and art, which is exactly what he wants.

When everyone was happy, Tang De asked, "So it should be selling very explosively now." ”

"Of course!" Apollion's eyes widened and his hands were spread: "I heard that Domino's takeaway business is about to expand to Glacier Bay in Alaska, I hope those clerks won't be frozen during the delivery." ”

Apollion was referring to Alaska's Glacier Bay National Park, a vast expanse of marine wilderness dominated by tall coastal mountains that are off the beaten track.

"Maybe they can ride a seal to deliver food! Hahaha. Maroney's hearty laughter echoed through the conference room, causing everyone else to laugh along.

"So as soon as that old man's ad for Monagan was successful, a new company came to us with an olive branch, and what is this?" Apollion said as he picked up a red ketchup bottle made of glass from the table.

"It's familiar, isn't this Heinz ketchup?" Jimmy stuck out his finger and said, "I buy it a lot at home." ”

"So is my family." Apollion nodded: "This is a national brand, a household name." ”

"Then why did they find us?" Although Lion advertising has emerged on Domino's, there should be no shortage of advertising companies compared to Heinz's products.

Maroney explained to him: "Well, it's not just us, it's a bid. Our family, as well as five or six other advertising agencies, need to come up with their own proposals, go to their companies to make proposals, and if it passes, ......"

He snapped his fingers, and the corners of his mouth curved to the sides: "Then you can win this advertisement, and even the follow-up advertisement!" ”

"Sounds good."

"Of course it's good! Especially the advertising fee! Maroney's eyebrows immediately fluttered when he talked about the money: "If we can get it, then the follow-up endless advertising costs will allow each of us to eat all!" ”

"Wow!" Jimmy got excited.

Tang De also raised his eyebrows, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to get rid of poverty, even if the MV makes more money, he has no chance to share a profit.

On the contrary, it is advertising, and as the creative planner and photographer of Lion Advertising, he can get more money.

Just thinking of this, Apollion also looked at Don De and said, "Don De, in fact, I hope you can provide creativity for this Heinz advertisement. ”

"What do you mean?" Don straightened his back.

Maroney added: "To put it simply, I want you to be one of the planners for this campaign. ”

"One?"

"That's right, I'm also a planner." Maroni smiled and crossed Erlang's legs: "I was busy communicating with customers before, otherwise I should be in charge of the Domino's project." ”

"Okay, I see, but what about salary?" Don De heard his subtext, if he was there, this project would not be his turn.

"In terms of salary, after the advertising fee of this project, after tax, you can get five percent of the shooting cost after settling the bill, and Jimmy can get three percent, how about it?"

Maroni said what he had prepared, but Donde shook his head and didn't speak.

"Too little!" Jimmy yelled, "Eight percent of the two of us, hey, that's not how Domino's ads count." ”

Apollion was also a little embarrassed and said, "Don't be so harsh, Maroni, we are all friends and brothers. ”

"Okay, okay." Maroni took a few steps back: "But Apollion, the company can't just have friends and brothers, I, as the manager, am responsible for the whole company. So ten percent, no more, the company has to run, there is a lot of expenses, you know. ”

Apollion looked at the two men and comforted, "Maroni is right, Jimmy, this is already the best condition. ”

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Jimmy wanted to argue, but Don agreed directly to the split and picked up the wine glass beside him.

"Happy working together!" The others raised their glasses in celebration, except for Jimmy, who sulked a little.

And after getting out of the lion advertising agency and sitting back in the car, Jimmy, who was driving, couldn't help but ask, "Dude, why do I feel that something is wrong with you?" ”

"What?"

"You're not telling the truth! It's not like you, brother! They deceive people too much! Jimmy sensed that there seemed to be an undercurrent lurking beneath Donde's expression.

Tang De smiled and said: "You're right, it's true that it's too much of a deception, but it doesn't affect our cooperation this time, doesn't it." ”

"This time? What do you mean? Isn't there a next time? Jimmy is worthy of being Donde's good brother, and he can guess Donde's thoughts just by a few expressions and tones.

"It's simple, Jimmy. You listen to their rhetoric, the company can't just have brothers, the best conditions. In fact, without me, Domino's would not have been able to satisfy Monagan with this project, let alone Heinz's olive branch. Tangde's tone gradually increased: "But their positioning for us is only advertising planning, lighting master." Ten percent, two people, what a joke! ”

"That's right, that's it! So we're going to fight for more! Although Jimmy had a good relationship with Apollion, he was one yard in terms of money, and he didn't know why Donde agreed so hastily.

"No, Jimmy, why don't we come out and go it alone?" Tang De stretched out his hands: "You, and I, we open our own advertising company, and all the shares are in our own hands, isn't it much better than working for others?" ”

Jimmy looked at him in surprise, "yes, that's right, that's what you thought." ”

"yes, that's why, so we need connections, Jimmy, we need a ladder. And the Heinz project is the best ladder. We're going to hold it in our own hands. ”

"What about Apollion?"

"Don't worry, I know what you're thinking......" Don De tapped his fingers on his knee: "He's a good big brother, and I also hope to end up decently." ”
