Chapter 279 The Fighter Jet of Fried Chicken
When shooting commercials, you should naturally hire professionals.
Although Shao Shufen knew many people in the business world, she didn't really know anyone in the film and television industry.
The wealthiest of the bosses she knew was no more than 100 million.
They can't compare to those big businessmen and bosses who are worth hundreds of millions or billions and have already started promoting celebrities and investing in movies.
She's not even close to being with them.
Jiang Jianni immediately thought of Zheng Changming: "I know a director, why don't I ask him if he's free?"
Shao Shufen was both surprised and delighted: "You know the director?"
"Hey, how did you meet him? Is he reliable?"
Jiang Jianni: "Quite reliable..."
These days, most directors are broke, but a few can afford to spend millions of dollars of their own money to make a TV series, and they don't even cut their staff's wages, and the meals they provide are pretty good.
Yang Anni said that someone who was in charge of logistics during filming gained weight.
From this perspective, Zheng Changming is truly a good director.
She didn't hide the fact that she was writing a book from the Lu and Jiang families, but she kept it a secret from everyone else.
Not to mention Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang's side, even Grandma Yang's few relatives don't know.
Oh no, Yang Anni knows.
The fact that some of the books were bought to be made into movies was known only to the collaborators.
Lu Sitian's eyes almost reddened with envy as she listened: "Sister Jia Ni, you're so amazing!"
She can be a teacher, write books, cook all kinds of delicious food and drinks, and do business.
She felt that there was probably nothing in the world that her sister Jia Ni couldn't do.
Shao Shufen was even more shocked: "You write books? You've written several?"
"Oh my god, are you serious? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Jiang Jianni nodded and said helplessly, "I had no choice."
"You both know that I have three children to raise."
"With just my and their father's meager fixed salaries, let alone raising children, we'll have trouble even feeding them when they get a little older."
“I’ve been in school all this time and don’t have any other skills, so I had to learn to write stories like others.”
"To my surprise, it was actually quite well-written, and people seemed to enjoy reading it."
"Is this a pleasant surprise?"
Shao Shufen was almost dumbfounded: "Oh my god, oh my god, I actually met a writer~ and a very famous one at that~"
"Oh my god~"
She knew that Jiang Jiani's family owned several houses.
But she also knew that the Lu family was no ordinary family, and she always thought that the Lu family had paid for the purchase.
And what was the result?
They earned all their houses by writing books.
Especially after hearing that Lu Xiangyang was also writing a book and had sold it to make a TV series.
The two were even more shocked.
This is... this is unbelievable!
Lu Sitian was still processing the unbelievable news that her third brother and sister-in-law were both writers.
Shao Shufen had already jumped up from her chair and was about to rush out: "Wait, wait a minute."
"I'll go buy your book."
"After you buy it, you must sign it for me, and make sure to write the words 'Presented to Shao Shufen'..."
She was as excited as if she had met her idol of many years, and Jiang Jianni quickly pulled her back: "Hey, what are you doing? Let's talk about business first..."
Shao Shufen retorted fiercely, "What important business? Buying books and having you sign them is the important business!"
Jiang Jianni: "No need to buy, no need to buy, calm down, calm down first."
"I have so many books at home. Calm down, and I'll write them on my autograph and send you two sets, okay? No, three sets."
“My two nephews each got one too.”
Shao Shufen held her hands tightly: "You said it! You can't go back on your word! Three sets! Not a single one less!"
Jiang Jianni was both amused and exasperated: "Okay, okay, three sets, not a single book missing, I absolutely won't go back on my word, now let me go."
"Seriously, it's just a book, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Lu Sitian belatedly realized what was happening: "Sister, I want one too! I want three sets too! My dad and my brother want one too! And my third brother's book too! I want one signed too!"
Shao Shufen quickly replied, "Yes, yes, even your man's books, your man's books must be included, and they must be signed."
Jiang Jianni: "Seriously, it's just a few books, is it really that big of a deal?"
Shao Shufen shook her head: "You don't understand!"
If there is a barrier between ordinary people and college students, then there is also a barrier between college students and writers and artists.
To ordinary people, writers and artists are like the bright moon in the sky or the snow lotus on the mountain—refined things that can only be admired from afar and not touched, beings that ordinary people can only look up to.
If an ordinary person publishes a short article in a magazine or newspaper, they'll be showered with praise once people find out.
What's more, Jiang Jianni not only wrote several books, but also published them. Not only did she publish them, she also sold the copyrights and made them into TV series!
If this doesn't qualify someone as a great writer, then what does?
Shao Shufen had previously regarded Jiang Jiani as a friend she could talk to and who wouldn't spoil the mood, someone she had been somewhat grateful to.
Even though Jiang Jiani provided the recipes for the milk tea and fried chicken shops, Shao Shufen still felt a sense of superiority.
What's wrong with college students?
College students still don't know how to make money, do they?
If I want to make money, I have to rely on myself, a semi-illiterate person who only went to primary school.
But now that Jiang Jianni has revealed her identity as a famous writer, Shao Shufen's sense of superiority vanishes instantly.
She even unconsciously felt a sense of admiration for him.
Jiang Jianni writes books to make money; she's not as noble as Shao Shufen makes her out to be. Afraid that Shao Shufen would continue exaggerating and make her feel embarrassed, she quickly said:
"Let's get back to the advertisement."
"Advertising is the real business now."
"Having a director is not enough; we also need to figure out how to shoot the commercial and who to invite to shoot it."
"We still need to pay the director, screenwriter, makeup artist, cinematographer, and actors. We need to discuss that first. There's a lot to do, so let's talk about that first."
For the first time, Shao Shufen gave her a thumbs up: "As expected of a great writer, you know so much."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Jiang Jiani had a headache.
The "great writer" meme is just going to stick, isn't it?
She was wondering how to get Shao Shufen to stop calling her "great writer," it was so awkward, when she heard Shao Shufen say:
"Don't you have a girlfriend who's an actress? I think she's quite pretty, let's use her."
"It's good that the good stuff shouldn't go to outsiders."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Just as she was about to say that she didn't need to give her face, Shao Shufen said again, "Little sister, you are a writer, you have written so many books, why don't you think about how to shoot this advertisement yourself?"
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "Writing a book and shooting commercials are not the same thing."
"Besides, I've never worked as a screenwriter before, I have no screenwriting experience."
Shao Shufen, however, had complete confidence in her: "So what if you have no experience? You've already written so many books."
"You've written hundreds of thousands of words in books, so writing this advertisement for us is a piece of cake, right?"
"Just write it without worry, I trust you."
Lu Sitian quickly followed up: "Sister, I believe you too, you can write with confidence."
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Alexander.
You believe in me, but what if I don't believe in myself?
Just as she was on the verge of tears, trying to figure out how to refuse, a sentence suddenly came to her lips:
"How about we use the tagline 'McDonald's, the fighter jet of fried chicken'?"
She immediately rejected the idea: "No, no, no, let's think of something else."
"That sentence is just too... weird."
That's so childish.
It's absolutely outrageously embarrassing.
Jiang Jianni couldn't imagine the scene of such cringeworthy lines coming from the mouths of handsome men and beautiful women.
