Chapter 69: Happy Times

When Donde returned from North Carolina, he learned about the latest news about photo publishing from Jimmy.

The terms of the original small publishers were not very satisfactory, and among the large publishers, only Wallley Press had the best contract and promised to fill the United States within half a month.

So Jimmy and Donder decided to give them the photo and distribute it outside of New York.

And now, just as Time brand cigarettes are about to be shown on TV, Wallella Publishing has prepared the first batch of photo albums and shipped them to major bookstores and newsstands. Soon, Angel Manifesto Agency will be able to feel the warm invitation from the major magazines.

In the evening, Don and Jimmy sat in the company's lobby, which was dark, and the employees had all gone home, only the light from the television set illuminated the two. It was a new large-screen TV two days ago, and the company has purchased a lot of commonly used equipment since the money was credited to the account.

For example, coffee machines, televisions, printers, and so on.

Of course, the money had already been paid by Attorney Kirk, and Mr. Don didn't want to stand in court one day and face the IRS's charges.

At this time, they were waiting for the TV station to broadcast an advertisement, yes, it was the advertisement of Time brand cigarettes, for which Sommer Sr. threw millions of dollars at the TV station and bought the end roll ad of a hit show.

This is a man's drama, violent, bloody, and full of brotherhood, so the viewers are very consistent with the portrait of tobacco users, which is undoubtedly more conducive to the conversion rate of advertising.

Don and Jimmy waited while eating popcorn, and after a while, when the episode ended, the commercial began to play.

At the same time, the ad was seen by men across the country who watched the series, including Zack, who was annoyed by the sound of his children crying.

Zach is really annoying.

He had recently been laid off by the company because his group was not doing well overall sales, so he became the scapegoat for the lowest-ranking newcomer.

No one cared about his feelings, no one really wanted the truth, and everyone thought that he was the only one who dragged the group back.

But son of a bitch! I obviously ranked fifth in sales performance, but I was regarded as a typical example just because I offended the team leader.

Therefore, he has been in a very depressed state recently, and every day except for interviews at major companies during the day, he sits in the living room and watches violent TV series to vent his dissatisfaction.

And his wife also quarreled with him several times during this time, not only for the family's expenses, but also for his decadent mood all day long.

Even at night, when I should have enjoyed myself, I had to be interrupted many times because of the presence of the child.

"Zach! Help me get a diaper! ”

"Zach, the baby is hungry again, help me get a bottle of milk."

"Why is it so cold! Zach, how many times have I said that! The child must drink 40% milk! ”

"The thermometer is right next to the bowl! Why don't you always remember! ”

"Don't forget to wash the bottle when you run out!"

After Zach got everything done, he quickly ran back to the couch to see how the final suspense of the series would be resolved, only to find that the cast and crew had appeared on the TV screen, and he couldn't help but slam the sofa: "FXXK!" ”

Tilting his head and taking a few breaths, he took out the cigarette from his pocket, and with a gentle squeeze of the soft box, he knew that he had finished smoking.

“SHXT! It's fucking day! Zach was powerless to vent his frustration with life, but his voice was always low.

He picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the TV and go out to buy a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine downstairs, when he saw an advertisement start playing after the end of the film.

The bright sunshine was the first impression of the advertisement, and the charming scenery from North Carolina with the sound of train whistles and the agricultural machines that seemed to be full of industrial charm immediately caught Zack's eye.

He has always longed for this kind of life, he grew up in his father's ranch, but after coming to New York, this idyllic life has become more and more distant from him.

The commercials were shot beautifully, and the scenery was mesmerizing, especially the blonde girl strolling among the flowers, who had an awesome figure.

And when she stood on the train in a white dress, and lowered her straw hat with her hand to stare into the distance, a gentle narration voice came from the TV: "Happy times are baked." ”

Follow the familiar logo into view.

"Bake, be blessed......" Zach was slightly stunned when he heard this, then repeated it in his mouth, and then laughed dumbly: "FXXK, I need an ad for comfort." ”

Zach was silent for a moment, turned off the TV, got up and walked out the door, came to the vending machine downstairs, and chose it without hesitation when he saw the Time brand cigarette: "But I do need a blessing now, damn life is terrible, but I still have to live, don't I?" ”

Zach picked up the cigarette and tore it skillfully, lit one for himself, inhaled deeply, and slowly spit it out.

"That's right, it's this kind of taste, it's really rich, it's really baked (blessed)."

"Whew, I feel better."

On this night, there were many people like Zack, and even if the blessings brought by cigarettes were only temporary and false, people's blessings for their lives were re-lit.

And when Tang De came to the company the next morning, he received a call from the tobacco company.

On the other end of the phone was a urging call for Supreme Creative to immediately sign a three-year agreement with the company.

The reason for this urgency is that in just one night, 10% of the supply of cigarettes has been sold.

That's a 5% increase from their sales in the same period last month! But everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and many more people will see this ad in the near future, and it is hard to imagine how much sales of this product will rise by then.

So they can't wait for Tang De to host the advertising creative.

After listening to the phone call, Tang De immediately announced the good news with the company, and promised to give all employees a full bonus at the end of the year, and for a while Jimmy and the customer service lady cheered.

Don watched them mess around the hall with a smile on his face, and the ad undoubtedly proved that Supreme Creative is indeed worthy of their slogan, the nation's top creative provider.

Moreover, the broadcast of these advertisements also made the fame of Supreme Creative completely gain a foothold in New York.

However, Supreme Creative is complacent, and naturally there are people who scratch their heads for this, such as Maroney of Lion Advertising, and Higg, the creative director of IPG.
