Chapter 994 I Don’t Drink with You, and I Don’t Laugh with You (Two in One)
"Mr. Mason, I don't agree with Director Lin's view. Although the mainland does have preferential treatment for foreign investment, it is not without a bottom line.
Fenghua Clothing is a banner of the mainland's clothing industry. The amount of foreign exchange earned and tax paid every year is very staggering. The company cannot face unpredictable risks because of one person's miscalculation."
Although she became a "traitor", Ning Pingping still expressed fierce opposition to Lin Qiuyan's actions.
Because he had been close to Wen Guohua for a long time and was influenced by Wen Guohua, he looked at problems from a different perspective than Lin Qiuyan.
Fenghua Clothing's status among the export-earning group is not just about "earning processing fees". It is one of the few brands in mainland China's clothing industry that can be sold overseas. It is not only profitable, but also affects the face and political achievements of many people. .
In the Mainland, a place where human relations are complicated, if you slap Fenghua Clothing in the face, you have already offended many people. If you influence the latter again, you will become enemies.
What's more important is that Lin Qiuyan knows that Fenghua Clothing is related to Li Ye. Wen Leyu's clothes are customized by Fenghua Clothing. Teacher Ke also likes to wear Fenghua brand.
In addition, many banks and government agencies have close relationships with Fenghua Clothing. How can you, Baolier, a brand that is new to the market, dare to say that it is better than Fenghua Clothing?
If it's really better, that's fine, but Ning Pingping has been wearing the Fenghua brand for six or seven years, how can she not know the pros and cons between her and Bao Li'er?
Fenghua Clothing is divided into mainland version and overseas version. The mainland version makes many adjustments to the body shape and aesthetics of East Asians every year, just to be more suitable for the mentality and body shape of East Asians. It has a strong advantage in this regard.
The advantage of Baolier is the halo of overseas brands and the design that closely follows international trends. However, these advantages are not bad compared with other mainland brands of clothes. There is really no obvious advantage compared with Fenghua brand.
As for the "more noble quality" mentioned in the advertisement, Ning Pingping knew what was going on, because the so-called Baolier clothing was basically manufactured by Lin Qiuyan's father's factory.
It is also produced in mainland factories, but the slogan repeatedly emphasizes the noble quality from the other side of the ocean. Isn't it just selling dog meat with a sheep's head?
"Ning, what specific unpredictable risks are you talking about?"
Mason also became serious. He was appointed as the manager of Baolier in the Mainland. Of course, he was unwilling to face any risks. Although the image of flower growers in the minds of overseas people has improved in recent years, the prejudice accumulated over the years has Consciousness still frightened him.
But when Ning Pingping was still thinking about how to explain "it can only be understood but not expressed", Lin Qiuyan said first: "Mr. Mason, we have rich experience in cooperation with the mainland garment industry, so please trust the judgment of our marketing department. , rather than trusting an image model.”
"Lin Qiuyan, what do you mean? Do you think I am alarmist? If the risk comes, what good will it do to me?"
Ning Pingping was angry.
Because Lin Qiuyan's words provoked her scars.
Originally, after the Spring Festival, Ning Pingping had a good relationship with Baolier Company, and the other party gave her many preferential conditions and treatment.
However, Lin Qiuyan came out halfway and repeatedly explained the "national conditions" of flower growers to Baolier Company, making it clear that Ning Pingping was "not worth the price."
What does it mean to meet a fellow countryman and shoot him in the back? This is what it means.
Now Lin Qiuyan once again emphasized that Ning Pingping was just a "model." How could Ning Pingping not be angry?
Everyone has studied in college, right?
Lin Qiuyan studied abroad from Beijing Institute of Technology, but Ning Pingping also graduated from the Textile College and then went abroad again for further study! Professional and more relevant!
Lin Qiuyan said coldly: "Miss Ning, you are not the only one worried about risks. If there are really risks, our losses will be even greater. We are shareholders of Baolier, and you are just an employee!"
"."
Ning Pingping was so shocked that she was speechless.
Why did Lin Qiuyan maliciously stab Ning Pingping in the back, but Ning Pingping couldn't fight back?
Because Lin Qiuyan owns a trading company and has been engaged in the export trade of mainland clothing.
This time Baolier entered the mainland. Because Lin Qiuyan knew the mainland and had a "background" in the mainland, she acquired Lin Qiuyan's trading company.
Although Lin Qiuyan does not hold many shares, her voice is much higher than that of individuals like Ning Pingping who "joined with a clean body".
Ning Pingping's chest heaved violently, and she gritted her teeth and said firmly: "No matter what, I will not allow my identity to be used to deliberately mislead users.
Baolier clothing and Fenghua clothing cannot compete directly and cannot be openly compared together."
"Ha~"
Lin Qiuyan sneered and said: "Miss Ning, instead of emphasizing your wishes here, you should concentrate on performing your duties and complete the shooting of the second version of the advertisement as soon as possible.
If our promotion plan is delayed due to your fault, you will be responsible according to the contract. If you want to terminate the contract with Baolier Company now, you will also have to pay sufficient liquidated damages. "
"."
Ning Pingping finally lost her temper.
A penny is too much for a heroic man, let alone she is not a hero yet.
Ning Pingping won the salary package of a European and American celebrity spokesperson, but she also signed a contract with complicated terms. Each contract seemed to protect her interests and promised her an extremely bright future.
But once she breaches the contract, those clauses in the contract are like bloody mouths that can eat her up in an instant.
She has little money and can't afford to pay.
Lin Qiuyan felt very comfortable when she saw Ning Pingping lose her temper after being scolded by her.
[What's the use of you being beautiful? What's the use of you being a household name advertising star? In front of capital, you can only be bullied and humiliated. 】
Manager Mason is more considerate of women. Seeing that Ning Pingping didn't say anything, he said gently: "Ning, your reminder is also valuable. We will study the specific risks immediately and make appropriate adjustments."
"Mr. Mason, thank you for your understanding. Please consider my concerns carefully."
Ning Pingping took advantage of the situation and stopped entangled with Lin Qiuyan. At the same time, she cursed in her heart: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words. If the company really loses money, I will lose my job at most, but you will be doomed."
Manager Mason still has a sense of crisis. After a meeting and research, it was decided that the second version of the advertisement would not appear in the slogan of dragging down Fenghua brand.
But just when the shooting was about to begin, the sales feedback from the marketing department made the situation complicated again.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Mr. Mason, colleagues, according to the latest sales data, our sales are 41% higher than expected, which fully proves the correctness of our previous advertising."
"Fenghua Clothing is one of the best brands in the mainland, and the reason why they have reached today's scale is also inseparable from the intensive advertising.
In this regard, mainland companies generally have no investment awareness. They only believe in the old saying of flower growers-good wine needs no bush."
"Our current product inventory has been completely cleared, and the reserved funds have exceeded 8 million, and this amount is still growing rapidly. Our marketing department can't answer all the calls."
"In addition, according to the internal information we have obtained, continuous advertising on the first TV station in the mainland will have a strong superposition effect, and the best interval period for this superposition is twelve days."
In the meeting room of Baolier Company, Lin Qiuyan was talking to a large icon, with her raised chin and flying eyebrows, all showing her pride and confidence.
Baolier clothing is selling like hot cakes.
After the advertisement was broadcast on the First Television Station, not only did it sell well at the sales outlets in some big cities, but merchants from all over the country who were interested in being agents kept calling the Baolier Company, hoping to get the agency rights, and they were willing to pay the deposit in advance.
With such a good start, how could Lin Qiuyan not be excited? How could she not be proud?
[What Fenghua Clothing can do, I can do as well, and do it better than those mud legs! ]
And Ning Pingping was also entangled.
The advertising effect was so good, and she, as the image spokesperson and the first model, certainly contributed to it. According to the practice of overseas companies, if their value continues to rise, they can make requests to the company and change the contract.
But will the hot sales of Baolier attract a counterattack from Fenghua Clothing more quickly?
At this time, Lin Qiuyan took out a telegram: "This is the official letter we just received. Dongshan Province will send an inspection team to our company to inspect and discuss the expansion of production and cooperation."
Lin Qiuyan's father's clothing factory is in the capital of Dongshan Province. He must have some connections in the local area. Now that Baolier has a good start, of course he has to work hard, and he can even create another Fenghua Clothing.
"This is an opportunity, a huge opportunity"
"Yes, I propose to buy out the prime-time advertising of TV Station No. 1 at all costs"
"."
For a while, the meeting room of Baolier Company was as lively as a pot, and these company veterans were discussing excitedly, looking forward to the prospect of getting rich overnight.
But Ning Pingping knew that the prime-time advertising of TV Station No. 1 could not be bought out, and this time it was just a leak.
The first TV station's bid winner will not be produced until 1995, as for the effect, hehe.
Qinchi wine was glorious for a while, but it was ultimately a dream.
Aido DVD is even more amazing. After the advertisement was broadcast, the company's account instantly increased by several hundred million in deposits, but in the end.
Not everyone can afford the great fortune.
After everyone discussed for a while, Manager Mason looked at Ning Pingping: "Ning, your performance is very good, but now you still need to work hard and shoot a new advertisement as soon as possible."
Ning Pingping nodded and said: "This is my responsibility. I will do my best, but I also have some suggestions for shooting advertisements. I hope you can communicate with the crew."
"Ou Ke, no problem."
Mason readily agreed. In fact, his evaluation and expectations of Ning Pingping are still very high.
It is true that foreign monks can chant scriptures, but without a guide, you don't know whether to chant the "Diamond Sutra" or practice the "Prajna Palm"!
. . . . . . . . .
But Mason has a high evaluation of Ning Pingping, but others may not.
After Ning Pingping arrived at the shooting group, she took out a carefully compiled shooting opinion.
"Hello, Director Anweier, this is some of my experience in shooting commercials in the mainland over the years. Please take a look and see if it will be helpful to our work."
The artistic Director Anweier looked at Ning Pingping, smiled and took the information, and then said: "Our shooting task is very tight, and we don't have time to look at these carefully. If you think I shot something wrong, just tell me directly!"
Ning Pingping was stunned, and then smiled and said: "I don't think it's wrong, I just want to do my best for work. After all, this advertisement is very important to our company."
"Haha, let's get started!"
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Anweil didn't give Ning Pingping much face. He turned around and started yelling at the lighting props and several other actors.
"Are you all ready? You idiots are slower than a turtle. No matter how famous you were before, don't have your own ideas here. The only thing you have to do is obey me, obey me completely."
"."
Ning Pingping's face turned red with embarrassment.
Not shy shame, but humiliating shame.
This Anweil is said to be a well-known director in Hollywood. He is very bullish and arrogant all day long, but to be honest, Ning Pingping feels that he is not as good as Wang Luyang, who he worked with before.
Wang Luyang is only a photographer by training, but his grasp of commercial films is quite high, and he has received unanimous praise in the industry. However, his attitude has always been gentle and friendly.
Unlike Anweil, he was not only professional, but also looked at Ning Pingping like a hungry wolf looking at a little white rabbit.
Ning Pingping was familiar with this look when she was a model. She knew that the other person was lusting after her body.
Anweil had already hinted too much several times before, but why would Ning Pingping pay attention to him?
[Can I, Ning Pingping, be touched by someone like you? 】
This time, Ning Pingping thought the advertisement was very effective, and Manager Mason said hello to the shooting team again, so she gave her opinion. She didn't expect that the other party would be so merciless.
[Hmph, just wait, I’ll make you look good sooner or later. 】
When Ning Pingping went to study abroad in Lighthouse, she went to Hollywood to see the world. She knew that big-name stars could definitely bully directors, especially stars who could bring huge benefits to investors.
As for Ning Pingping, she could bring huge benefits to Bao Lier. It would be a matter of time before she bullied Anweil.
But after several days of shooting, when the samples came out, Ning Pingping couldn't help it anymore. This Anweil was too bullying.
Ning Pingping felt that the other party seemed to have selected the least photogenic parts of her to edit into the film.
"Mr. Maison, I think there are still some areas for improvement in this commercial. For example, if the street is shot from a distance, it can better highlight the drape of the coat,"
"Also when I got out of the car, I thought I could get better results by shooting from above, and here."
Ning Pingping mentioned several points of dissatisfaction in one breath, without any concern that the needles could be heard around her.
Anweil looked at Ning Pingping with a sinister look, and said with a sneer: "The filming of this film has ended. Do you want everyone to play with you again?"
Ning Pingping said unceremoniously: "Mr. Anweil, I don't know how the Beacon advertisement was shot, but I know that Mainland Fenghua Clothing's advertisement will go through two or three revisions before it is officially finalized."
"And I am giving you serious advice for the benefit of Baolier Company. You can express your dissatisfaction with me personally, but you cannot harm the interests of the company."
Ning Pingping said it righteously, because when she was shooting Fenghua clothing commercials before, she would often finish the shoot once and then retake it a few days later, and each adjustment was very targeted, and the effect after the adjustment was also very good.
So she thinks there's something wrong with Anvil's work attitude.
But she had no idea that the reason why Fenghua costumes were often re-photographed was because of the extremely picky Li Ye.
Because of the explosion of short videos a few decades later, the "threshold" for photography technology has been continuously lowered. Many bloggers have begun to teach various shooting techniques. Basic camera techniques can be easily accessed by ordinary people.
Any upward shots, overhead shots, long shots, editing, close-ups, or slow motion can freeze the beauty of skirts and hair in an instant.
It's just that the photography techniques that were commonplace in later generations were really a dimensionality reduction blow in the 1980s and 1990s, when "photographer" was still a high-end profession.
So why is Wang Luyang, a photographer by training, so awesome?
But Anweil doesn't like Ning Pingping at all. If he reshoots, wouldn't he be showing everyone that his directorial ability is not as good as Ning Pingping's?
Who is Ning Pingping? They're just playthings that don't know what's good or bad.
"I'm sorry, I don't think you have an irreplaceable position in this commercial. The greatest value in this commercial is Lighthouse. Do you understand? As long as it is Lighthouse's product, you flower growers will Pay the bill"
"."
In the end, Ning Pingping and Anweil had a big fight and broke up.
Ning Pingping turned around and went to the company to find Maison, because she thought she could lure Wang Luyang over for half of Anweil's price. The so-called Hollywood directors were liars who were asking for high prices.
However, after Ning Pingping arrived at the company, Maisen first gave her a task to cooperate with Lin Qiuyan in entertaining the newly arrived inspection team.
Ning Pingping wanted to refuse this task, but thinking that Maisen had always been kind to her, she agreed.
But Ning Pingping didn't even finish the welcome banquet for the inspection team, and rushed out of the hotel with a livid face.
She gritted her teeth and got into her car, slammed the car door with a bang, stepped on the accelerator and drove home.
This car was allocated to Ning Pingping by the company, and the house was bought by Ning Pingping herself. Now she is definitely an "upper class" in the mainland with a car and a house, but today
"Ding ding ding~"
Ning Pingping's phone rang.
She picked up the phone and answered it. Lin Qiuyan's angry voice came from the other end: "Ning Pingping, where have you been? Come back and apologize to the guests."
Ning Pingping almost drove the car into the ditch. After braking, she said angrily: "I don't accompany drinking, let alone laughing."
"."
Lin Qiuyan on the other side of the phone was stunned for a long time, and then laughed sarcastically.
"Which actor doesn't accompany drinking?"
"Do you really think you are an artist? How did you become famous before? Why are you pretending?"
Ning Pingping blurted out: "I never accompany drinking at Fenghua Clothing!"
"Then why don't you stay in Fenghua?"
"."
The phone was hung up at some point.
In the car, only sobbing and crying remained.
She originally thought that she had always been wronged and was the one who was owed, but now she realizes that the days when she had an ambiguous relationship with Wen Guohua were the peak of her being pampered to the extreme.
