Chapter 411: The Eve of the Rematch (5K)
So Zeng Wenjie simply held a brief meeting with everyone on the advertising issue.
“Advertising has the ability to go viral, and anything that wants to go viral must have the ability to create memes!”
“Once a trending meme is created, it’s considered to be a viral sensation.”
"And Hui's charming accent has the potential to become a meme, so the ad has a high chance of going viral."
"After going viral, the positive effects it brings are unimaginable."
"Everyone, when you have any ideas in the future, you should think about whether you have the ability to create memes, or whether you can dig out hot memes..."
Zeng Wenjie passed on a lot of tips to his employees on this point, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, the advertisement of "Hero Killer" belongs to the gaming circle, but it is aimed at all computer users.
By then, whether you play "Hero Kill" or not, everyone knows that memes like "I am Zha Zha Hui" and "If you are a brother enough, come and chop me" will become popular.
The meeting lasted more than an hour, delaying the normal working time.
Zeng Wenjie directly announced that this one hour would be counted as overtime and calculated at double the salary, which caused another round of cheers from the employees.
Zheng Shouyun had no choice but to smile bitterly. This was truly a case of the son selling his father's land without any regret. When the time comes, Zeng Wenjie will definitely ask Penguin to settle the score.
Penguin attaches great importance to the cooperation with him and will definitely not care about this small amount of money.
"I roughly understand. For example, in "The Voice of China", Teacher Liu's line 'Tell me about your dream' and Teacher Harlem's 'I have 30 concerts this year' should be deliberate creation of memes, right? Lines that are mentioned repeatedly deepen the audience's impression and form hot memes, thereby achieving an out-of-circle effect and attracting more audiences." Yuan Xiuqin suddenly had an idea and asked as she walked out of the studio door.
Zeng Wenjie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Senior Yuan is indeed an outstanding student of CUHK. She can draw inferences about other situations by analogy! Well, that's exactly what you said."
Yuan Xiuqin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and said, "You don't have to mention where I am from."
Zeng Wenjie said, "It's getting late. I might as well treat everyone to dinner. We'll have a private room in the faculty cafeteria."
Yuan Xiuqin said, "Long live the boss! Dinner is taken care of!"
Zheng Shouyun said, "I'll have a free meal too, and then go back to the hotel."
Zheng Shouyun lives in a hotel near the university town, and the daily allowance for Penguin executives on business trips is not low.
So, Zeng Wenjie called Mu Qingyang and asked her to come over for dinner.
"I've already eaten." Mu Qingyang said in a low voice.
"You can't eat again after you've eaten?" Zeng Wenjie yelled unhappily.
"Oh oh oh... Then I'll come over now, but I will definitely eat less! Slurp--" Mu Qingyang said.
Zeng Wenjie was at a loss for words. What a guy, he said to eat less but he was drooling at the same time?
Yuan Xiuqin recalled the ambiguous scene with Zeng Wenjie at the "Village BA" scene, her face flushed slightly, and then she felt lost. How could she compare to Mu Qingyang?
Even if the hoe starts smoking, it doesn't mean you can dig hard.
Zeng Wenjie really didn't have any thoughts about Yuan Xiuqin. What's more, she was his employee and it was easy for something to go wrong.
The fact that they acted so close to each other in Taixiang and Niu Shou City was completely a way to use their strength to severely torture Qin Yixuan.
When they arrived at the staff cafeteria, Mu Qingyang was sitting on a chair waiting. He was wearing Under Armour sneakers, blue tight jeans, a high-necked sweater and a denim jacket, a hand-knitted scarf around his neck, black-framed glasses, and long, thick black hair.
She sat near the light, and the light shining on her high-end, cold white skin made her look even more charming.
At first glance, it seems quite out of place in the cafeteria environment.
When she saw Zeng Wenjie, she immediately smiled and trotted over!
"Good evening, Madam Boss!"
Everyone hurriedly greeted Mu Qingyang.
Mu Qingyang had already gotten used to being called "Boss Lady." She waved timidly to everyone and said, "Good evening."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Let's go. Everyone has worked hard recently. Let's have a good meal and have a few more drinks!"
Zheng Shouyun said, "You're probably the first student who can freely use a private room in the faculty cafeteria."
Zeng Wenjie raised his hands, bowed slightly toward the sky, and said, "Thanks to the kindness of my principal, Teacher Gao, I, Zeng Wenjie, am where I am today! My admiration for Teacher Gao is like a surging river, endless and unending."
Everyone was stunned...
Then, the principal suddenly appeared and said with a smile, "How can you be so exaggerated? As an outstanding student, we must of course take good care of and cultivate you. It is you who have earned our respect and appreciation with your own abilities."
"Fuck, Principal!"
Chen Qiao couldn't help but exclaim, then hurriedly bent down to greet him.
Except for Yuan Xiuqin, all the employees in the game studio are either graduates of Fengyuan or recent graduates. Naturally, they are very awed and respectful to President Gao.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Gao, please come in first. You must take the seat at the top!"
Zeng Wenjie invited the principal into the private room and asked him to sit facing the door.
The principal of the university also took on the responsibility.
Zeng Wenjie pulled Mu Qingyang to sit next to him, while Yuan Xiuqin quietly sat aside, trying to stay as far away as possible.
After the dishes were served, Zeng Wenjie asked the principal to say a few words before announcing the start of the meal.
The principal had the image of a kind elder. He didn't talk about any serious topics during the meal. He just asked everyone if they had any difficulties that needed the school's help to solve. He also asked about the progress of the game production and other issues.
"Teacher Gao, you should have friends in the Provincial Writers Association, right?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Quite a few." The principal nodded. "I had dinner with their leaders a few days ago."
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "Then I don't need to bother you, Senior Brother. Why don't you just help me contact them? I want to sponsor them and ask them to write articles for me. I can also organize a large-scale joint essay contest on 'Village BA'."
The principal agreed immediately, and then looked at Zeng Wenjie with admiration. He didn't expect that this kid was so smart that he could think of cooperating with the Writers Association.
How can ordinary businessmen have this kind of ideological awareness?
"Hasn't the Chamber of Commerce been established yet?" asked the principal.
"It should be soon. After all, the aftermath of that incident is still there, and senior brother has to deal with it." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Hmm..." Principal Gao looked at Zeng Wenjie meaningfully and nodded slightly.
Then he laughed and said, "Hehehe~ One day, come with me to visit the University of Science and Technology, and I'll introduce you to Principal Mo."
Mu Qingyang was completely bewildered. What? Was the principal also from the Soul-Changing Hall? He felt his laughter was a bit too demonic!
Zeng Wenjie knew that Teacher Gao was going to take him to show off, so he naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with being a little pretentious. After all, like teacher, like student!
Before coming, Mu Qingyang said that he would eat less, but after he actually picked up his chopsticks, it was a different story.
She tried all the dishes and then grabbed the spicy chicken and the spicy beef.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh. It's good to eat more. Then they can go for morning exercises together to lose fat. Moreover, he can eat all kinds of delicious food to tempt her. It's fun to think about it!
Everyone happily finished their meal and drank, and it was already eight o'clock when they left.
Zheng Shouyun received a call from Xue Lu, and he happily rushed over to participate in the second game.
Zeng Wenjie thought this was a good idea. If Zheng Shouyun made more friends in Chongshan, the chances of him being able to recruit them would be greater.
He was still somewhat confident in recruiting Zheng Shouyun. After all, Old Zheng really loved playing games, so he was a little uncomfortable with things that only knew how to make money.
"Let's go for a drive."
Zeng Wenjie snapped his fingers at Mu Qingyang and said excitedly.
"Don't drive when you're drunk, and don't drive when you're drunk!"
Mu Qingyang, however, had a stern face and spoke seriously.
"I'm so happy today, I'll open it even if the king comes!"
Zeng Wenjie forcibly dragged Mu Qingyang to the door of the dormitory building, and then rode out on his bicycle that looked like a 28-inch bicycle.
This made Mu Qingyang laugh and cry. He thought Zeng Wenjie, who always abided by the rules, was going to go crazy today, but he didn't expect that he was riding a bicycle!
"You come and ride, and take me with you."
"Then do you want to sing Eason Chan's "Bicycle" in the back?" Mu Qingyang tilted his head.
"I'm going to beat you to death!"
"Hahaha, actually I don't know how to ride a bike." Mu Qingyang spread his hands innocently and said.
Zeng Wenjie looked at the way she spread her hands and felt that she looked very similar to a current basketball superstar who had not yet grown up.
So Zeng Wenjie asked Mu Qingyang to sit in the back seat. After two sprints, he got in the car smoothly and started pedaling along the road to the school.
That's probably what falling in love is like. You don't necessarily have to do anything meaningful.
The weather is nice today. The sun is shining during the day and it is not too cold at night. Little Mu, who is sitting on the bicycle, is smiling happily.
"The rematch of 'The Voice of China' will start recording in two days. Do you want to come to the scene to cheer me on?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Monkey! Monkey! What song are you singing? The one about 'Floating to the North'?"
Mu Qingyang was probably thinking about something. After hearing Zeng Wenjie's words, he subconsciously answered in his hometown dialect.
"Yes, Lao Xie put me and Yi Jiacheng in the same group." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Oh... I have an impression. His voice seems quite ethereal!" Mu Qingyang said with a smile.
"He's not bad, but he's a little arrogant and I dealt with him," said Zeng Wenjie.
Mu Qingyang asked what happened, and after listening, he couldn't help but find it funny, and then said: "You've been a bit sharp lately!"
Zeng Wenjie said, "I did it on purpose. Otherwise, everyone would think I'm easy to bully and want to step on me. Being a little arrogant will make many villains avoid you."
Mu Qingyang said, "I just can't learn, so I'm often bullied. Only after a fight do those people realize that I'm not easy to bully."
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Thank goodness Jiu Ye and your mother made you learn judo!"
Mu Qingyang said, "In a few days, our club will have a friendly competition with the major club. You can come and cheer me on."
Zeng Wenjie smacked his lips. Yao Wei had just mentioned that she would bring the martial arts club over to suppress Fengyuan's arrogance. Unexpectedly, they would meet so soon?
"Others would probably be shocked if they saw you fighting," Zeng Wenjie said thoughtfully.
"Hehehe, watch me smash that Yao Wei into eight pieces..." Mu Qingyang hummed softly.
"Is there a grudge?" Zeng Wenjie was stunned.
"Doesn't she always want to stand up for her boyfriend? I'll stand up for you too and compete with her!" Mu Qingyang said.
After hearing Mu Qingyang's words, Zeng Wenjie was a little surprised, and then a little moved.
Yao Wei initially felt that all of Zhu Feiming's limelight was overshadowed by Zeng Wenjie, and she was very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyang saw all of this, and when it came to Zeng Wenjie's issues, she would not be so indifferent.
In terms of height and weight, Xiao Mu has the advantage, but Yao Wei is the Western Shu Tyrannosaurus entrenched in the Shudao Mountains after all. Does this seem to offset her advantage?
However, Mu Qingyang was taught personally by Jiu Ye.
Xie Jiu is a peerless master like Chen Jinnan, a retired imperial bodyguard from Yanjing!
Zeng Wenjie said: "Sure, you cheer for me and I will cheer for you!"
Mu Qingyang grumbled quietly, "Even if I cheer you on, you won't win the second round."
Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "With my level, how can I possibly compare with those masters who spend their days immersed in musical notes? Besides, letting me choose my own song in the second round was already quite considerate of me. If I advance to the third round, I'll be exposed."
"Why isn't it a flaw?" Mu Qingyang was curious.
"Because I'm good at singing, dancing, rap, and basketball."
Mu Qingyang didn't think there was any connection between the two things and just thought that this guy was being inconsistent again.
The next day, Zeng Wenjie went to the set of "The Voice of China" and started rehearsing while participating in the recording.
The original singer of "Floating to the North" is called "Little Eminem". His singing style is about 70% similar to Eminem's. In order to show his talent and promote the product, Zeng Wenjie has seriously imitated some of Eminem's songs.
Therefore, singing this song "Floating to the North" is quite easy.
Yi Jiacheng, who collaborated with him, is also a high-level singer. His chorus is steady and accurate, and the harmony is also on point, which adds a lot to the song.
However, due to Zeng Wenjie's unprofessionalism, two mistakes still occurred.
Yi Jiacheng looked at him expressionlessly, sneering in his heart. If this half-baked guy didn't do anything shady, he probably wouldn't even make it through the first round of blind auditions!
How could he get first place in SMS voting?
After the rehearsal, Lao Xie waved to Zeng Wenjie and called him over. He came with his laptop.
"Xiao Zeng, I used 'Gu Pu Jie' as the theme song for my new movie. This song is very suitable for this movie. So, there is no need to record the MV specially. We can directly use clips from the movie... Come and take a look." Lao Xie said with a smile.
When Zeng Wenjie heard his accent, he couldn't help but think of the commercial he saw yesterday. He was also brainwashed and couldn't help but want Lao Xie to carry the Dragon Slaying Sword and shoot that kind of commercial to see what the effect would be?
He came closer to the laptop and asked, "Is it 'True Man'?"
Old Xie nodded and said, "Yes, I suffered a lot while filming this movie. I almost fell to my death."
Zeng Wenjie was amused and said, "When I invest in a movie, you can also give Ajing a kick and get your revenge."
That scene in the movie is quite classic. He jumped off the building to chase the villain, but when he was about to fall, the villain kicked him sideways and sent him flying off the building. His waist happened to hit the edge of the truck, which hurt him badly.
Old Xie laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is a good idea!"
Then, he clicked play.
"They are all brave..."
"The Lone Brave Man" sung by Lao Xie began, with a unique flavor.
The MV begins with a scene of Lao Xie in a dark recording studio. After a line of lyrics, it switches to a clip of "Man's True Colors".
Zeng Wenjie watched with great interest. Needless to say, this song really suits the movie, giving people a very passionate and exciting feeling! Moreover, it also suits Xie's later role in "Raging Fire", which is also a rare action movie. The audience rarely hopes that the villain will win.
As the song progresses, the MV switches back and forth between clips from "True Man" and the recording studio.
It is indeed ready-made, and Lao Xie doesn’t even need to record any special footage.
When the scene enters the fighting part, the song also happens to reach its climax.
"Fight? Fight! With the most humble dreams, I will fight against the sobs and roars in the dark night..."
In the picture, a righteous 3V1 fight is going on, however, the three righteous guys are beaten to a pulp by a villain.
After the MV ended, Zeng Wenjie gave a thumbs-up and said, "This movie is sure to be a hit. The song 'Lonely Hero' is the perfect finishing touch!"
Old Xie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's just release the other song 'Fireworks Cool Easily' as a single. I haven't had any thoughts on making an album lately. If I didn't really like both songs, I wouldn't bother to do it."
His work focus has shifted to movies. If it weren't for the fact that the Chongshan Provincial Government was taking the lead in organizing "The Voice of China" and the program had extraordinary political significance, he would have been reluctant to participate.
"Xiao Zeng, if you have any good ideas in the future, you can provide them to me. We can discuss whether it means spending money or endorsing me." Old Xie said with a smile.
"Don't worry, you are my mentor, I will definitely look for you first." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
Although being a plagiarist is shameful, it feels really good to get something for free!
Lao Xie said, "If the song gets a good response, I'll give you a share of the copyright fees."
Zeng Wenjie said: "Okay, thank you teacher!"
Old Xie is not the kind of little star who has never seen money. He is a rich second-generation himself. In addition, Zeng Wenjie is now rising in status. Of course, there is no need for him to have any conflicts with him over a few dollars.
Zeng Wenjie feels that the movie "True Man" may become even more popular than expected because of the theme song "The Lone Hero".
After all, "The Lone Hero" is the theme song for elementary school students. After it was released, there was almost no child who couldn't sing it, and it had a strong ability to go viral.
