Chapter 58: Only literary youths pursue freedom, right?
Shen Qingqing has never lost sleep due to lack of money.
No, now she should be called Shen Yanyan.
-
At this moment, Shen Yanyan was sitting on the kang in a village in Henan Province, holding a meeting with her team. The accountant was there, calculating the accounts on the computer. After finishing the calculation, he pointed to the Excel file on the computer and asked Shen Yanyan to look at the expenses. "We've only been shooting for a month for the documentary, and wow, we've already spent all the money." The accountant said as he scolded Shen Yanyan, "Sister Shen, I'm not saying anything bad about you. When we first decided on this thing, we accepted applications from the north, but ended up receiving submissions from all over the country. Now, a bunch of people are following you back and forth. You look at everyone and they are miserable. You have to control everyone. Where are you going to go next month? It's ridiculous to do things without a plan like this."
Shen Yanyan said nothing, clutching her hands: But I have no choice. You said that since I posted this volunteer service, people from all over China have applied. It would be wrong for me to help everyone and not help everyone. I have already tried my best to screen and help.
The accountant said, "I know, but you have no plan and you are not professional. We don't have money to hire an editor later."
Shen Yanyan turned his head, glanced at the executive producer, and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
The executive producer looked at Shen Yanyan: “Actually, I talked about this matter with the publicity last night, publicity, you tell me.”
Shen Yanyan turned her head to look at the publicity again.
The publicity agent cleared his throat and began to talk about his ideas: Sister Chen, first of all, if you want to do this thing, I agree that you should treat everyone equally. We should help women wherever they need us. I think this thing will be a publicity highlight after it is launched, so I suggest you attract investment.
The executive producer elbowed the publicity director: "Didn't you say yesterday that we should split up the production and reduce expenses? Why are you changing your mind now?"
Xuan took out his phone and looked at the entry on Weibo: Someone beat a woman again yesterday. As a girl, I couldn’t stand it, Sister Shen.
Shen Yanyan glanced at her and waited for her to speak.
The propagandist stood up and started speaking as if he was risking his life.
Publicity: Sister Chen, I'll be frank. As a publicist, my daily routine is to surf the Internet, plan publicity plans, and shoot materials. I also know that your husband is very rich and has launched many new games. No one in China is making documentaries about what you are doing now, so I want to ask your husband for some money to invest in it, and then return it to him when you make money, and also give them the first mention during the publicity.
Shen Yanyan was silent, not saying a word.
The executive producer threw the file in his hand to the ground: "Look at this fucking plan you've come up with! Young people think about things in the present moment. Prosperity for all is definitely a good thing, but if everyone suffers together, will the couple be ruined together?
Xuan Xuan suddenly became excited, standing up and waving the papers in his hand. "Ah, what do you say we should do? I'm almost going to collapse when I read all the letters in my mailbox every day. This husband is cheating, that one is locked up by his parents-in-law, and some are being dragged out and beaten on the street. I saw that man beating his wife a few days ago, and his eyes turned red. If we didn't have men on our team, I'm afraid Sister Shen and I would be beaten to death."
After she finished her promotion, she started crying. The producer quickly took out a piece of tissue and gave it to her, saying, "Hey, don't cry, don't cry."
Shen Yanyan said, stop crying, I'll think of a way.
The publicity and executive producer were obviously singing the same tune, just to tell Chen Qingqing that she must have money to continue. The two of them looked at her silently. Seeing her frown, the publicity reached out and patted her. "Sister Chen, we have no turning back now. We really need money to continue. You said that our next stop is Guizhou. Guizhou is so far away, and it will cost tens of thousands to transfer personnel. We don't have the money."
-
After everyone left, Shen Yanyan took out his cell phone and called Sun Ziyi, explaining the situation to him. Sun Ziyi thought about it and said, "There is a very capable businessman around me. I can recommend him to you and see if he is willing to help."
Shen Yanyan nodded quickly and waited for Sun Ziyi to create a group. Sun Ziyi said to her while creating the group, "His name is Peng Zhou. You can call him Teacher Peng. Although he is young, he is very strong at work."
Shen Yanyan felt that it sounded particularly familiar and repeated Peng Zhou.
Shen Yanyan asked me why he sounded so familiar, and Sun Ziyi said, "Hey, that's the guy, Peng Yu's twin brother."
Shen Yanyan yelled, "Fuck!" We've met before. I even recognized the wrong person at the charity night and chatted with him like a fool.
Sun Ziyi's memories were suddenly brought back. "That's a coincidence, isn't it? You guys are just chatting about your daily life. He has quite a few big guys under his control. You can ask him to find someone who can invest some money for you."
Shen Qingqing said awkwardly, how can I get close to you? I said I was the elder sister who admitted my mistake last time and got in the rain with you?
Sun Ziyi said that you don’t need to care about so many details, just chat and that’s it. Anyway, having a past is better than talking about it raw.
-
The next morning, Peng Zhou accepted Shen Qingqing's friend request and directly sent her a phone number with the note "Call me when you have time. Sister Ziyi told me in advance."
Seeing this, Shen Qingqing stepped aside and called Peng Zhou.
Although it was just a phone call, Shen Qingqing also felt Peng Zhou's vigorous and decisiveness. Peng Zhou's attitude of speaking was a bit like a producer of the platform. Peng Zhou started to talk about business as soon as he answered the phone. He told Shen Qingqing that they had indeed contacted an investor before. It was a brand-new brand and they did want to invest money, but Peng Zhou asked for too much. The other party said that too much money was spent on the early production and now they are not willing to spend so much directly on advertisers.
Shen Qingqing said that you can introduce it to us.
Peng Zhou said, Sister Qingqing, there is no problem in introducing it to you, but there is a problem. I think this product is not in line with your tone. I think I still need to introduce it to you. If you think it is ok, I will help you connect with others.
What product is Shen Qingqing talking about? How can it be so incompatible?
Peng Zhou said, rice sauce.
.......
Shen Qingqing collapsed. She thought about the divorced couple she'd met in Henan over the past month. The rice cooker looked like it hadn't been turned on for six months, covered in a thick layer of dust. And the couple started fighting as soon as they met. How was she going to create a product? Was she going to film a fight between two people, and suddenly a bowl of rice sauce flew across the screen?
Shen Qingqing said, it really doesn’t match, but I also want to try it, we are really short of money now.
Peng Zhou said that in addition to this, there is another one, which is electric cars, but they are more picky about customers and require you to bring the implantation plan to have a good discussion.
Shen Qingqing said it was no problem.
-
As soon as the filming in Henan was finished, Shen Qingqing packed her schoolbag and took a bunch of materials to Shanghai. The headquarters of the electric car is in Shanghai, and the headquarters of the rice sauce is in Hangzhou. She was ready to go there either way.
Shanghai was hot and humid, and she didn't dare check in her materials for fear of something going wrong, so she carried them all the way by hand. Her bag was full of computers and hard drives. It was the first time she realized how narrow the economy class was. The luggage storage area was crowded with luggage of many people. Every time the flight attendant took something, she would stare closely for fear of touching her bag.
After landing, Shen Qingqing felt a little disappointed. The last time she came to Shanghai, she was still a lady living in Capella and wearing CELINE. This time, she was carrying a backpack full of materials for asking for money.
How should I put it, it's very tragic.
-
Peng Zhou had been waiting for her downstairs of the company early. When Shen Yanyan got out of the taxi, Peng Zhou honked at him, then got out of the car, and the two walked forward side by side.
Shen Qingqing wanted to exchange a few pleasantries, but Peng Zhou said directly, Sister Qingqing, asking for money actually requires confidence, and you have to be down-to-earth with your content.
Shen Qingqing stopped and turned to look at him.
Peng Zhou said that you should be more casual and just say that you came to Shanghai to meet important people to discuss things, and your main purpose is not to meet them.
Peng Zhou said, do you have any big shot names in mind?
Shen Qingqing lowered her head and called Jiang Yong, asking him what the name of Ruxi's investor was. Jiang Yong said it was Ruan Siwei.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingqing and Peng Zhou asked, "Is Ruan Siwei okay? The one who makes games? My friend was invested by Ruan Siwei."
Ruan Siwei's name is indeed quite famous in Shanghai. Peng Zhou's eyes were also a little shocked. He said, "Then you can say that Ruan Siwei wants to invest in your electric car brand. I guess you can't contact Ruan Siwei himself..."
Shen Qingqing said, can it be done?
Peng Zhou said that as long as you can communicate and the plan is good, it will definitely work.
Peng Zhou looked at the big bag behind her and said, "Give me the bag and I'll carry it for you."
Shen Qingqing handed the bag to Peng Zhou with gratitude in her eyes. Peng Zhou said, "Don't be afraid. I will carry the bag for you behind you and take you all the way to the meeting room."
-
A scattered group of people sat in the conference room, looking at Shen Qingqing's materials, which were full of chaotic fighting scenes and the subtitles that Shen Qingqing had just uploaded last night.
Those present were playing with their phones, looking at their computers, and except for the person in charge, few people were looking at her. They all treated her content as voiceover and were obviously indifferent to those who were trying to attract investors. Therefore, the pretentious words that Shen Qingqing had thought of in her heart were obviously useless.
The person in charge kept frowning, and finally waited until the material in his hand was finished playing, and then he finally asked, "Ms. Shen, where are you going to insert our product?"
Shen Qingqing began to talk about the plan she was so excited about last night, and said, "Of course, that will be the opening and ending. Our staff will give special thanks. Also, we will add a shot for you where the character rides an electric bike to a new life after successfully getting divorced."
The person in charge chuckled and said, "You can only help people get divorced with this thing?"
Someone off the court glanced at Chen Qingqing, then burst out laughing, and everyone was infected by it, trying not to laugh. Chen Qingqing's face was a little tight, but she still had to smile and said, "Yes, just divorce, a new era, back to freedom, isn't an electric car also free when it runs?"
The person in charge was very sharp and asked Shen Qingqing directly, "Freedom? Who in this world pursues freedom? Literary youth?"
Shen Qingqing was choked by his sudden question and said, "Bad, almost."
The person in charge said again, "Miss Chen, our electric cars are very simple, the kind you can easily see on the street. They are not fashionable or stylish. Our products are targeted at factory workers in fourth- and fifth-tier cities because our electric car frames are particularly large and the passenger space is particularly wide. Our highlight is that one electric car can drive an entire family. Storage space and practicality are our main features. Do you think people who have to make a living have time to watch your documentary?"
Shen Qingqing was choked all of a sudden.
The person in charge then asked, "Ms. Shen, what do factory workers want? Is it a weekend off, overtime pay, or an extra chicken drumstick in the cafeteria at lunch? Is that right? I think freedom is definitely not their primary demand, right?"
Chen Qingqing was suddenly convinced and even wanted to buy one... Chen Qingqing subconsciously said, you are right... I didn't think about it.
The person in charge then asked, "How much do you know about our products? Do you know which city in China has the most electric vehicles?"
Shen Qingqing was quite panicked now, and didn't know what to say, so she kept apologizing, and finally said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Seeing that Shen Qingqing was being polite, the person in charge also said, "It's okay. After all, it was Mr. Peng who introduced you. I will also give Mr. Peng a face. You can come up with a new plan when you go back. If it is approved internally, we can communicate again. I am still very confident in the people introduced by Mr. Peng."
The person in charge cleared all the people away, leaving only the two of them in the conference room. The person in charge looked at the hard drive in Shen Qingqing's hand and put it in her bag for her. "Actually, I admire the content you have created. Based on my years of work experience, it should be difficult for you to get sponsorship for this thing, but of course Mr. Peng has spoken, and I will not stand idly by."
The person in charge glanced above his head vaguely and saw a camera.
Shen Qingqing didn’t understand what he meant, so she hurriedly said thank you, and waited until the person in charge left before continuing to collect the hard drives and computers.
-
Downstairs, Peng Zhou saw Shen Qingqing coming out, helped Shen Qingqing carry the bag, and then raised his phone. On the phone was a message from the brand manager.
"You can invest, but it must not be too much. Make another plan and let Miss Shen be more down-to-earth. We sell electric cars and cannot play the sentimental and ideological cards. With so many people here today, I can't give them a break. Mr. Peng, please forgive me."
After reading it, Shen Qingqing was completely depressed and asked Peng Zhou, so where is the place with the most electric cars in China?
Peng Zhou said, Nanning.
Shen Qingqing asked in shock how could you know such little-known knowledge?
Peng Zhou said, I will thoroughly investigate the relevant circumstances of any investor I come into contact with. If you can't do a good job with your plan later, you can come and ask me. You can blame me this time. I only talked to you about some useless things and didn't look at your plan in advance.
