Chapter 159 Let's compete
"Thank you very much for your forgiveness, sir. You are like a kind angel who forgives my ignorant stupidity! You gave me a second life, and you are my reborn parents!"
Anlina said thank you very excitedly to Zhou Ming, and she was even about to cry.
Zhou Ming was very surprised by this. It was just a simple pretending to be a slap in the face. I don’t know how many times I have experienced this kind of thing since my rebirth. Is it necessary to be so excited? However, Antonio’s subsequent explanation to Zhou Ming made Zhou Ming understand.
"The atmosphere in Mexico is very arrogant. Most wealthy people have some connections with the underworld. Therefore, if people who do not have a certain status at home offend the rich, they will easily be brought to the underworld. If they are more civilized and polite, they will threaten the people around them. If they are fierce and rude, they will be beaten or even corpses in the wilderness."
Antonio told Zhou Ming: "Just last year, a nationally renowned rock singer talked to a rich man more heavily after getting drunk. The next day, he was seen hanging on the Maya Bridge. His death was very miserable, and the singer seemed to be in the same agency as Anlina."
I see!
Zhou Ming was surprised and suddenly realized that this was the Mexico he saw on the Internet in his previous life. He killed him with a disagreement. No matter what star he is or a politician, even if he is the police chief, he is safe from time to time.
These stars may be in full bloom in front of ordinary people, but in front of those real powerful people, they are just some advanced toys. Once they collide with these big names, they will take bloody revenge. The death of the rock star obviously left a big psychological shadow on Anlina. Therefore, when Antonio reveals her identity, she will be scared to that shape.
Perhaps for me, it was just my own generosity and I didn't want to care about these ignorant little stars, but for Anlina, she felt that she had walked from the gates of hell.
She didn't know how she became the chairman of the State Telecommunications Company. She only knew that State Telecommunications Company was a very large company. Those who could become the leader of this company must be the top figure in Mexico and could decide her future at will. It is precisely because of this that when Zhou Ming said what he forgave her, she would be so grateful to Zhou Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "No need to say more about thanks. I am in a good mood today. At the same time, you just need to try your best to shoot this advertisement. At the same time, there will be no negative news in the near future!"
Zhou Ming's tone was casual, but Anlina immediately said firmly after hearing this: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely take out my 100% seriousness to shoot this advertisement!"
"Sir, if you have nothing else, I hope our advertising shooting can start as soon as possible, because I have a lot of other work to deal with."
After Zhou Ming and Anlina finished speaking, director Guzman suddenly urged Zhou Ming to start soon, which made Zhou Ming curious why he wasn't afraid of his identity? Later, Antonio explained to Zhou Ming that the director came from a big family, so if he hadn't really been caught in a fundamental conflict of interests, he would not be worried about revenge.
Zhou Ming had no intention of finding fault at all, and the matter with Anlina was just an accident, so the shooting of the advertisement began soon.
According to Guzman's arrangement, the shooting of this advertisement will be carried out in the studio. Seeing Anlina, who was wearing cool clothes, constantly doing various actions in front of a blue curtain, Zhou Ming felt very bored, so he brought Guzman's script to see what advertisement the great director had prepared for himself.
The Taiwanese was written by Guzman's team, and Guzman personally conceived the storyboard language. Anlina played a girl who grew up in an orphanage in the advertisement. Under the guidance of an angel, she had contact information from her parents, but she had no money. Finally, through constant pursuit, she finally found the sales of the contract machine. After getting the phone through installment payment, she finally called her parents.
After reading the entire advertisement with patience, Zhou Ming had to interrupt the shooting of the advertisement and called director Guzman.
"Dear Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask if it was my blog that made you dissatisfied with it?" Guzman came over and asked bluntly.
Zhou Ming replied: "Director Guzman, I'm sorry for interrupting your shooting, but I just finished reading your advertising script. Please be honest, I don't understand what your advertisement is trying to express."
"Please also say forgiving me. What you are reading is a storyboard script, which is a script dedicated to directors. Of course, most people cannot understand it. If you really want to know, then I can explain it to you."
Guzman then explained the script to Zhou Ming, which was basically the same as what Zhou Ming understood, but Guzman became more and more excited as he talked: "This is a great story. He tells the family affection of a girl, as well as his vision and expectations for the future, and tells people that they cannot give up hope no matter when they are. I believe this will be a very great work!"
After the other party finished speaking, Zhou Ming said: "Director Guzman, I can believe in your pursuit of art, and you will also have the emotions you want to express. If you are shooting a movie, then I believe it must be a very excellent work, but we are shooting an advertisement now, so I think it should have something different, and not pay too much attention to the story and connotation..."
Guzman suddenly interrupted Zhou Ming: "Sir, are you teaching me how to shoot works?"
"Of course not. I just simply expressed my thoughts. After all, this advertisement is very important to me." Zhou Ming said.
"Every advertisement is also very important to me!" Guzman emphasized, "I am the best director in Mexico. Whether it is movies, TV series or advertisements, I am the best. Do you know why this is? This is because I have always had very high requirements for myself, so you absolutely don't need to worry about the quality of your advertising. As long as I accept your contract, I will be responsible for my work!"
"Director Guzman, I think you misunderstood. I really believe that you must take this advertisement very seriously. I just have some new ideas about the content of your advertisement," Zhou Ming explained.
Guzman smiled: "Do you have new ideas? Then you might as well tell me what your ideas are."
Ignoring Guzman's sarcasm, Zhou Ming analyzed seriously: "I can believe that this story is definitely a good story, but the problem is that you spent a lot of space and shots to describe the whole story, but downplayed the most important thing about the advertisement, that is, the product, so I think we should highlight our contract machine products and the marketing concept of zero-yuan machine purchases, rather than portraying an irrelevant story."
"This is not an irrelevant story! This is an adaptation of a famous fairy tale, the little match girl, which is the most famous fairy tale of Master Andersen, a famous story that can impress everyone. I adapted the fairy tale, added more plots, and became more connotated!" Guzman emphasized to Zhou Ming, "And not only that, I also added very advanced computer special effects technology to this advertisement!"
Guzman said as he pointed his hand at Anlina: "Sir, do you think Anlina's performance in front of the curtain is very strange, but because these computer special effects technologies have not been added yet, after these special effects are added, there will be very gorgeous magic and holy light, which will bring a very shocking visual effect to the audience and deepen the audience's impression of the advertisement."
Zhou Ming was helpless: "I think you haven't understood my idea yet, director Guzman. I'm not accusing you of being careless, nor do I doubt the connotation of this story and your post-production technology. I just want to say that this advertisement still has not yet clarified a center, which is my product."
"Then I can also solemnly tell you that my story and your products are inseparable. Only with my story can the advertising products be drawn. Stories and products are equally important. I have no intention to hide products, nor is there any need for this!" Guzman said unceremoniously, "This... Mr. Zhou Ming, I know you are a very successful businessman, but this is art!"
"You businessmen always think you are amazing, you always think that you know everything and want to master everything, and even shoot an advertisement, you have to point fingers, just like you are the center of the universe when you give money, and you even stretch out your dirty hands to some actresses. This behavior is a defilement of art and an insult to artists!"
Guzman's words were loud and clear: "I tell you, maybe other directors will succumb to you, but I, Guzman, will never! This advertisement will either be filmed according to my ideas, or you can ask Gao Ming for another one!"
Guzman's words made everyone else, including Anlina, applaud, but when they saw Zhou Ming's eyes, they lowered their heads again.
Zhou Ming was helpless, and the director regarded himself as a local boss who liked to randomly direct filming.
In his previous life, Zhou Ming had a friend who was a screenwriter who complained to Zhou Ming after getting drunk, saying that all the screenwriters and directors in the film and television industry were deeply disgusted by investors' insistence on adding their preferences to the film. After all, this will not only change their things beyond recognition, but if the box office and reputation fail in the end, they will also throw the blame to the screenwriter.
This is true in China. Judging from the temper of this director Guzman, it is obvious that this situation in Mexico is even more serious.
"This damn old guy, Mr. Zhou Ming, why don't I just beat him up?" Hyena.
However, Guzman, the most famous director in Mexico, can also understand English. He immediately widened his eyes and said in English: "Okay! Come and hit me, you can hit me today, but I can guarantee you that no one will come to shoot your advertisement in the future!"
Zhou Ming shook his head: "Director Gusman, please rest assured. Of course I won't hit you. This is just my bodyguard's impulse."
