Chapter 209 209

Brand OEM and clothing designed and produced by clothing factories themselves are completely different in terms of style, quality, and requirements for clothing. Although the clothing, style, and materials designed by their own clothing factories are also checked one by one by the quality inspection department, they are not as strict as brand OEM.

Brands have their own requirements. They have strictly screened the selection of OEM factories and the quality of materials. Even if they find external factories for OEM, the quality control of the finished product is strictly inspected. In particular, the brand that Uncle Wang Yong OEMs for is definitely a luxury brand in this era. If there is even a slight defect, it will be rejected.

But for many clothes on the market, even if there are some minor flaws, such as a slight misalignment of the stitching, a misalignment of the shoulder and the front pattern, etc., for most clothes on the market, the quality is still far superior.

Not to mention, the batch of clothes sent by Uncle Wang Yong, except for a small number of misaligned stitching, most of them are down jackets with quality control labels, marking 90% down jackets as 85%. Such a minor flaw is a huge mistake for the brand and is impossible to enter the market, but for ordinary people in the market, this is a real good product that is exquisite, fashionable, good-looking, of high quality and cheap.

Jiang Bai is not the only clothing store near Shanghai University of Technology. In early November, it is already late autumn, and the clothing stores have gradually changed into winter clothes.

The girls in the school like to go shopping in the clothing stores near the school when they have nothing to do. Whether they buy something or not is another matter, but they definitely go shopping on weekends.

As the saying goes, it is not a problem if you don’t know the goods, but it is a problem if you compare the goods. Girls of this generation are very careful with money. When buying clothes for themselves, they are very careful and will compare prices from three stores.

Usually the first store they go to is Jiang Yeye’s store, because the clothes and shoes in Jiang Yeye’s store are clearly marked with prices.

After looking at the clothes and shoes in Jiang Yeye’s store, they go to other stores. If they encounter similar ones, they will ask the price.

The clothing stores near the school, because there is a store like Grandpa Jiang with clearly marked prices, the prices they priced are all real prices, they really didn't ask for high prices, but the prices are still not a little higher than the clothes in Grandpa Jiang's store, but 20 to 30 yuan, or even 30 to 40 yuan. With such a big difference, they can buy another sweater.

After hearing that Gu Yunzhou opened a new store specializing in down clothes behind the school, they went in and compared it with what they saw in other stores before. Were they surprised? And the price difference is not too big.

Originally, many students who don't pursue brands, or even don't know many brands at all, don't care about what is branded or not, but didn't Uncle Wang Yong send a lot of promotional posters and picture albums to Jiang Bo?

Promotional posters are so new, they cost 50 cents each. Such good stuff, and the shop has white walls, so of course they are put up.

Tong Jingang and Jiang Bo are two country bumpkins, even though they have made some money from acting, they still don't know what big brands are. Tong Jingang is better, he knows Playboy and Nine Wolves, and as for world-famous brands, he also knows Rolex and various car brands, as well as some of the world's top luxury brands that he saw at the Wanhua Film Festival and the styling studio.

As for the middle-tier clothing and shoe brands, he only knew Adi and Nike at most, and he had never heard of the others. He just blatantly posted the brand's promotional posters in the store, thinking that the foreign handsome guys in the posters were so handsome, and people who came to buy clothes would not need to prepare models, and they could just look at the posters to know whether the clothes looked good or not.

He also put the promotional brochures on the counter, so that any customers who came in could flip through the brochures and see the different styles of the same clothes and the effect of wearing them.

This made some city students who knew this brand of clothes notice this store, and then they went to the downtown shopping mall to take a look. Damn, how come the new models of this brand felt about the same quality as the clothes behind their school?

It can't be said to be very similar, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

As for the quality inspection and material labels inside the clothes, who cares whether the down content of the down jacket is 90% or 80%, whether the stitching and pattern are aligned, except that there is no collar label on the collar and no brand on the clothes, it is exactly the same as the new brand down jackets in the big shopping malls, and there is no difference in quality. The stitching of the lining and outer lining of the clothes is very delicate. Originally,

this matter was unknown to students who came from rural areas and did not pursue brands or even knew brands like Jiang Bai. Many students in this era are still in the stage of having enough food and warm clothes. The pursuit of brands is far away from these students who have just left the saturated environment.

But what they didn't expect was that this poster was the same as the huge GG poster that the brand had hung on the wall of the busiest commercial street in Shanghai. In

this era, entertainment is limited. As long as it's a holiday, everyone goes to Huaihai Street to go shopping. Even if you don't go shopping, you can see this giant poster just by looking out the window of the bus.

When I first saw that it was the same style, some students came over and asked if it was that piece of clothing.

Jiang Bai, even though he has been dressed very fashionably and acted in several TV dramas, is still a country boy at heart. How can he understand anything about brands?

Three years ago, the soles of his shoes were worn out and he had no replacements. The insoles were made of paper shells, and his feet were frozen with frostbite. Even though he made some money in the past two years, he was facing all kinds of machines and classes during the day, and filming on the set during the holidays.

The glamorous him that others saw was not him at all. In reality, he was no different from the worker three years ago. He had no idea about the luxury brands or some famous clothing and shoe brands in this world, and he didn't care about them. He just shook his head and said no.

The students who came to ask pointed to the pictures on the wall and said, "Then you put up this brand poster?"

Jiang Bo was also confused and said, "This is sent by the manufacturer, can't I put it up?"

He thought that it was sent by Uncle Wang, so he could put it up.

He didn't understand these things, so he stood up and tore off the posters, saying very honestly: "The factory said that this batch of goods is the last batch of orders for the factory's processing. As for the brand you mentioned, I don't know. I have never heard of it. The quality of the clothes is very good. You can buy whatever you like. The price is the same."

Every time a big brand design comes out, there will be countless small manufacturers who will directly copy the big brand. Even if the quality is far from that

of the big brand, it is fashionable and good-looking. Many shops on the commercial street that sell expensive and non-branded goods are stocked with this kind of big brand imitations.

For Jiang Bai, there is only one hard-core point to judge the quality of a piece of clothing, which is quality. As for whether it is a brand or not, it is enough to keep warm.

This batch of down jackets is of higher quality than all the down jackets in his previous store, and the styles are also better looking.

The manufacturer said that the price of a down jacket would have to be increased by at least RMB 100. Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment, but he was not yet a ruthless person, so he did not dare to add that much.

The cost of this batch of down jackets is more than 100 yuan. Even if it is not increased by 100 yuan, it is definitely not a cheap down jacket among students. But after seeing the price of the branded down jacket in the mall, I looked at the price of the non-branded down jacket in Jiangbai’s store, which was 10% off.

Some curious students even went to the mall to make a detailed comparison of the materials, and there was really no difference!

So some students who were short of money and could not afford the branded goods in the mall, but wanted to save face by wearing a better down jacket, took the money they earned from tutoring and handing out flyers, and went to Jiangbai’s store.

The winter in early November was already a bit cold, and many students had never worn down jackets before, and they were wrapped in old cotton clothes.

Fashionable new down jackets and old cotton coats appear on this campus at the same time, just like the transition from the old to the new in this era.

The first time they use their hard-earned money to buy a piece of clothing that exceeds their daily expenses and is a favorite, it will probably really make people remember it for a long time, so long that after more than ten or twenty years, they still remember the first good piece of clothing they wore.

The quality of the down jackets sold in Jiang Bai's shop is probably really good, so good that they wore them for four years in college, entered society, moved many times, and they also had new down jackets and coats. This down jacket that once made them the most beautiful kids on campus and maintained their poor self-esteem is still hanging in their closets, and they are reluctant to throw it away.

Since Jiang Xi had never written a script before, Producer Li sent her several script templates, one of which was the hit drama "In Paris" he had written in the 1990s. Jiang

Xi was also very insightful and talented in the humanities, and she didn't need anyone to teach her. She only flipped through the script templates that Producer Li had someone send her, and she learned the writing mode of turning novels into scripts without any guidance. This is not a difficult task for professional writers, as many screenwriters are transformed from original novelists to screenwriters, but it is by no means an especially easy task, because the writing styles of the two are completely different.

Writing novels requires all kinds of descriptions, such as descriptions of the environment, psychology, facial expressions of characters, etc. However, these are completely unnecessary in script writing. Script writing mainly involves writing dialogues and reciting lines to be memorized. At most, a few lines are marked on the side to describe the character's emotions and mood at the moment, whether the weather is sunny or rainy, day or night.

In other words, Jiang Xi needs to write out her original novel in the form of character dialogues.

She sat in a rental house outside the school, facing the computer, slowly closed her eyes, and let her thoughts immerse in the plot of "White Snake".

The first thing that came to her mind was her three-month trip to the disaster area from June to August this year. In the surging earth-yellow torrent, only the roofs of the houses were submerged, the ruins of the collapsed walls, the broken trees and fallen rocks that drifted by from time to time in the torrent, and the desperate and helpless expressions of countless disaster victims.

The houses were flooded, the fields were harvested, there was no food and no money, they were full of confusion about the future, and their eyes were full of despair and sorrow.

Then there was the little white snake, which kept tumbling in the flood, saving the victims who fell into the water one by one, combing the veins of the rivers and streams, and making the surging floods gradually obedient and calm under its alienation.

Producer Li asked her to write a script for the flood, but the script must be combined with the overall plot to know how to write this part of the plot. Otherwise, no matter how well the individual plot is written, it will not work if it is separated from the main plot.

Jiang Xi thought, if I were the audience, what kind of plot would I want to see.

If I were the screenwriter, how should I adapt this work into a plot that the audience likes.

Take the popular TV series "Happy Little Swallow", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon", "The Deer and the Cauldron" and other TV series as examples. For a drama, the audience must like several elements, and first of all, it must be exciting.

Even if it is a sad drama that earns the audience's tears, its core is "satisfying". The audience knows that the more the heroine is abused at this time, they will be moved by her angelic behavior in the end. Even if the heroine is tortured to death in the process, the final ending must be that the heroine moves everyone, she conquers all those who abused her, and those who abused her regret and accept the heroine, and the heroine and the heroine finally live happily together.

The second popular element is that the tone should be light, humorous, and funny.

Let's not talk about "Little Swallow". In "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Huang Rong teases Ouyang Feng and cooks dishes for him. The dishes are called "Toad with Four Legs Upwards" and "Steamed Mullet Thief - Recognize the Thief as Father". Which audience member would not be happy after watching it? Not to mention that in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Xiaobao's funny scenes are endless.

The third element is that there must be a contrasting group of faces, such as the Queen, Rong Mama to Xiaoyanzi, Yang Kang to Guo Jing, Song Qingshu to Zhang Wuji, and Green Screen to Zi Ling. Although Green Screen is a positive character and Zi Ling is a negative character now, when watching this TV series in this era, Green Screen is definitely a negative character as a contrasting group to set off the beauty of the heroine Zi Ling.

Take the drama "White Snake" as an example, it is probably Fahai to the little white snake.

Yes, Fahai.

Jiang Xi drew a circle on this character.

Fahai in both "White Snake" and "White Snake" is a bald old monk, but who doesn't like the image of Fahai played by Zhuo Ge in the movie "Green Snake"?

Does Fahai have to be an old monk?

Since it is a control group, why can't there be a cute little monk?

Because it is her own work, Jiang Qi is more familiar with "White Snake". Based on the above elements, she put herself into the role of the audience and began to create the outline of the TV series "Legend of the White Snake".

At the beginning, a little white snake is hiding behind a stone, just to catch a prey, and then it is spotted by a giant eagle in the sky. With a cry of "chi~~~", the next second, the little white snake is struggling to survive under the claws of the giant eagle. It is seriously injured and dying. It is rescued by a little medicine boy. The little medicine boy bandages it. When it is drowsy, it looks at the back of the little medicine boy leaving.

The second scene is the arrival of the Emperor's Blood in the original novel.

The seriously injured little white snake wakes up at night and looks up at the night sky. Suddenly, a ray of moonlight falls on it. The wounds on its body heal quickly. Its eyes light up, knowing that this is a good thing, and it desperately swallows the Emperor's Blood.

Screenwriter Tang Jiang was probably inspired by the movie "White Snake" and planned to use a light and funny tone. In the script, the little white snake had a small head and a small tail, but a huge round belly in the middle because it swallowed too much Emperor's Syrup. Because the Emperor's Syrup was difficult to digest for a while, the animals and plants around it that had awakened their intelligence but did not yet have magical powers saw it and said to themselves curiously: "Huh? A very white turtle!"

"Is it running naked without its shell?"

"Huh? Why is it running naked without its shell?"

"It turns out that a turtle without a shell is so white!"

These animals and plants, which had just been poured with the Emperor's plasma and had awakened their spiritual intelligence, but had no idea that they had turned into monsters, could be heard by others when they spoke. They discussed this strange little white turtle without a shell in their childish voices without restraint. The angry little white snake jumped up with its tail propped up and shouted, "I'm not a turtle, I'm a snake!"

So the little monsters who had just awakened their spiritual intelligence laughed recklessly again: "Huh? Look, there's a big white turtle over there that thinks it's a snake!"

"It's a white turtle without claws!"

"How stupid!"

"How pitiful, so stupid and crippled!"

There was also an animal monster who had just awakened his spiritual intelligence, who came over and stretched out his claws to pull the little white snake, pulling it so that its belly was facing up and it couldn't turn over, which again caused the little monsters to laugh at him.

Because the turtle was not in the food menu of the animals that came to pick it up, the little demon who had just awakened his spiritual wisdom did not eat the little white snake, but looked at the little white snake that could not turn its belly up and laughed.

The third scene was that its self-esteem was hurt, and it moved slowly like a turtle with a huge belly. Then, along the way, all the little demons who had awakened their spiritual wisdom tonight saw a naked, running white turtle. From then on, the legend of the naked, running white turtle appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The little white snake, whose self-esteem was hurt by being ridiculed for several days, found a cave and buried itself in it, crying, "I must work hard to lose weight and surprise all of you! Humph!"

In the fourth scene, the little white snake silently digested the Emperor's Lavender in the cave, but because of this once-in-sixty-years Emperor's Lavender, more and more little demons with spiritual wisdom in the outside world felt that they were different and began to fight for territory and territory.

Then, Xiaobai digested most of the Emperor's Lavender and suddenly transformed from a little white snake into a beautiful girl.

Here we need to choose a beautiful little actress to play the role. The underground cave where she was sleeping happened to be in the territory of the animal demon who turned her belly up. After a lot of fighting, the animal demon has become the king here.

The little white snake who just came out of the cave didn't know about this. She appeared in the territory of the animal demon and was besieged by the little demon cubs. All of them were beaten by the little girl. The little demon cubs ran away quickly: "King! King, it's bad! A little girl came to our valley. She is so powerful!"

So she beat the little one and the big one came. When the little girl saw this incompletely transformed monster, she thought, "Oh my god, isn't this the wolf demon who pulled her and laughed at her?" She immediately beat the wolf demon with a martial arts and fairy version of beating, and accepted her first little brother.

The following plots are all about the funny scenes of the little girl and the incompletely transformed little demons.

During the writing process, Jiang Xi herself was very happy. The plot of the little white turtle was very funny. The more she wrote, the smoother it became. By the end, she had almost finished writing the outline of the whole play, and finally wrote the part of "flood relief".

Because of the whole plot in the front, her plot was very closely connected with the previous plot.

After writing for a week, she finally finished writing the plot, and producer Li also finished the first draft of the main plot of Yuan Feng and Tang Jiang.

Producer Li also called Jiang Xiao to ask if she had finished writing the first draft of the flood part. After getting an accurate answer, Producer Li said that he would invite her, the director, and two screenwriters to hold a script study session.

Considering that she had to attend classes during the day and it was difficult for her to take leave, they decided to hold the meeting at Peking University.

The school knew that the deputy director of the TV drama production center of CCTV was coming to their school to find students from their school to write scripts, and they specially arranged for students from the May Fourth Literary Society to pick them up and go to the office of their literary society, and vacated an office specifically for them to use as a script study site.

This is the opportunity that the school gives to students, allowing them to get to know the directors and screenwriters of CCTV in advance. In terms of work in the future, if they do not return to their hometown to take the civil service exam and want to work in CCTV, this is a good opportunity.

If they are more capable, they may be able to write scripts for CCTV. For these students, it will be a good resume to say that they have participated in the script writing of a certain TV series of CCTV.

Even if they are students of Peking University, this arrangement of the school is also a good opportunity for practice. After receiving the news, the president and vice president of the May Fourth Literary Society did not publicize it. Instead, only a few core members of their literary society knew about it. Several people came to the gate of the South Gate to wait for the arrival of Director Li and others.

Producer Li and his team didn't know that Beijing University had also arranged for students from the Student Union's Literature Society to receive them. Like last time, they made an appointment with Jiang Xi to meet at the gate of Beijing University in advance.

Because they were in a hurry, they agreed to meet at the gate of Nanjing University at 8 o'clock in the morning. After Jiang Xi got up in the morning and ran, he had breakfast, went back to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes, and then came to the school gate in advance to wait for Producer Li and his team.

Producer Li and his team were not late and arrived at the school gate on time.

Jiang Xi just smiled and moved to greet Producer Li and his friends, when several other young men and women at the gate took the lead to greet them with enthusiastic yet reserved smiles: "Is this Director Li from CCTV? Hello, I am Zhang Sheng, the president of the May Fourth Literature Society of our school. The school knows that you are coming to study scripts, so we have specially arranged for you to receive you. The classroom is ready, please follow me."

Producer Li They didn't know that the school had arranged someone other than Jiang Xi to receive them. They thought it would be the same as last time. They would come directly to Jiang Xi and then find a classroom to hold a script study session. They couldn't help but cast their eyes to Jiang Xi who was waiting at the other side of the school gate and walked slowly towards them with a faint smile. They asked Jiang Xi, "Teacher Ximeng, aren't you... together?"
