This director lacks vision.

Chapter 42 Memory Capsule
Hearing He Haimin's words, Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "Since it's a public service announcement, let's not talk about copyright."

"Director He, if you need it, I can provide the master tape."

In 2009, the television station was still enjoying its last glimmer of glory.

Yangshi still has a great influence, covering a huge number of viewers, especially middle-aged and elderly people who don't use the internet much.

Jiang Yifeng was eagerly awaiting the broadcast of this short film, hoping it would expand its influence and help him obtain system rewards.

He Haimin didn't expect Jiang Yifeng to be so easy to talk to. He took a sip of tea and said a little embarrassedly, "We also want the adaptation rights to the poem 'You are still by my side'."

This poem is truly beautiful. There is not a single image of death in the entire poem, yet it uses the scene of time flowing backward to express the pain of separation by death and the deepest longing.

This poem, with a slight adaptation, could also be made into a public service announcement.

The poem "You are still by my side" was made into a public service advertisement by CCTV in a previous life.

Jiang Yifeng was not surprised by this. He said, "No problem. I'm also planning to film Waiting 2. If you like it, you can use it."

Public service announcements are the duty of us public figures. We can't let Director He do this alone; I'm willing to contribute as well!

Hearing this, He Haimin's face was full of smiles.

Wang Yan asked, "Are we waiting for a second part? Director Jiang, do you have a script?"

"some."

Jiang Yifeng took out a piece of paper from the drawer, made two copies, and handed one to He Haimin and the other to Wang Yan.

[Script: Waiting 2]

Scene: Park.

Characters: Old lady (Li Mingqi), daughter (Gao Yuanyuan), old man (to be determined)

The daughter looked around anxiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the old lady appear.

The daughter said, "My dad has Alzheimer's disease and doesn't remember anything except that he went on a blind date with my mom in the park when he was young."

I paid you to play my mom, so you need to be professional.

Remember the details I told you, and don't give yourself away.

The old lady said confidently, "You can trust me to handle things. If it weren't for buying lollipops for my precious granddaughter, I wouldn't be playing along with your act."

"Then let me ask you, what color does my mom like, what dishes does she like to eat, and what books does she like to read?"

The old lady paused for a moment, then said awkwardly, "These things are not important, as long as I get there."

The daughter sighed and led the old lady toward an old man...

In the plot of Waiting 2, Jiang Yifeng borrowed the formula of short videos from later generations.

Gao Yuanyuan plays the daughter, who pays an old lady to impersonate her deceased mother.

The ending takes a dramatic turn: the father didn't have Alzheimer's; it was the old lady who was sick.

The old lady was the one who forgot everything else, but always remembered her first blind date with her husband.

To make the old lady happy, the father and daughter acted with her every day.

She forgot everything, but she never forgot to love you.

After reading the last line of dialogue, Wang Yan wiped her eyes and said admiringly, "This script is really well written!"

He Haimin nodded and said, "Then thank you very much, President Jiang. We also want to broadcast 'Waiting for 2', so we can make it into a series of advertisements."

"no problem."

If "Waiting" gets broadcast on CCTV, the system reward is practically guaranteed.

Jiang Yifeng was in a good mood and treated He Haimin and Wang Yan to dinner that evening.

The staff at Yangshi Advertising Center also have a considerable amount of advertising resources at their disposal.

Of course, you should try to build connections with these kinds of people.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Yifeng called Li Mingqi.

"Teacher Li, Old Boys is holding a wrap party tomorrow and also organizing a spring outing in the park."

You absolutely must come! Everyone misses you so much.

Jiang Yifeng made no mention of Yangshi or the positive reviews after the broadcast.

These things are nothing to Li Mingqi, a veteran actor.

Li Mingqi didn't think much of it; he would definitely attend the wrap party, as the old man also liked lively gatherings.

The next morning, Li Mingqi arrived at the park, only to find that the film crew was all ready.

"Teacher Li, after everyone reunited, we had another inspiration and decided to film Waiting 2 first, and then have a meal together after filming."

Li Mingqi: "..." "Xiao Jiang, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve!"

"No, I was just thinking of giving you a surprise."

Li Mingqi wasn't angry. After saying a few words to Jiang Yifeng, he happily went to act.

The old lady liked Jiang Yifeng quite a bit; the two had a kind of friendship despite their age difference.

That's why Jiang Yifeng dared to joke around with Li Mingqi so freely.

The plot of Waiting 2 was also very simple, and it was filmed in just one day.

On June 14th, the first season premiered on CCTV-1 and CCTV-1 Children's Channel, generating a significant buzz.

In fact, these short films resonate more deeply with middle-aged and elderly people.

Many elderly viewers maintained their old habits, writing letters to CCTV or calling to praise the show after watching the short film.

Seeing this, CCTV rebroadcast Waiting several times, and on June 21, it broadcast Waiting 2.

This short film, like its predecessor, has the same formula and the same flavor, yet it still manages to bring tears to your eyes.

In addition, Jiang Yifeng's poem "You are still by my side" was also turned into a public service advertisement, still focusing on the theme of family affection.

Jiang Yifeng's name has unexpectedly gained some recognition among middle-aged and elderly people.

Many people think he is a filial son.

If this were ancient times, Jiang Yifeng might have been recommended as a filial and incorruptible official.

On June 26th, Jiang Yifeng finally received the system notification.

【Work: Waiting (1-2)】

Quality of the work: 1 star. It is an emotional short film. Although it is short, has a simple script structure, and has immature shooting and editing techniques, it can tell a complete story and evoke emotional resonance from the audience.

Work's profitability: 1 star. Although the absolute profitability is low, the overall return rate exceeds 100%.

Impact of the work: 2 stars. It has garnered over 10 million views online, was featured on CCTV, promoted Alzheimer's disease, and sparked widespread discussion.

Overall rating: 1 stars, rewarded with one regular lottery draw chance.

Shall we start the prize draw now?

The two films are waiting. In the system, they are rated better than the previous works, reaching a level of 1 stars.

However, if you don't reach 2 stars, you only get one chance to draw a regular prize.

Jiang Yifeng locked the office door and chose to draw a prize.

[Congratulations, host! You have drawn the white item "Memory Capsule".]

[Memory Capsule: After use, you will randomly recall a past memory for one day.]

After his rebirth, Jiang Yifeng's memories of his past life were sometimes clear and sometimes vague.

For example, the lyrics of "Old Boy" and "A Little Sweet" are somewhat different from those of the previous life.

After all, Jiang Yifeng didn't deliberately memorize the lyrics, so it's normal for him to forget some parts.

He took the initiative to fill in the missing words, and the overall meaning was roughly the same.

Memory capsules can help people recall memories from the past day.

Seeing the reward, Jiang Yifeng smiled; it was purely a matter of luck.

Memories of the past day, especially those from key moments and containing valuable information, are certainly precious.

If it's a boring day, then its effect is only so-so.

Jiang Yifeng prefers physical enhancement rewards to memory rewards.

It seems my luck wasn't so good this time.

Jiang Yifeng did not use the memory capsule immediately, but put it aside for the time being.

The news of Michael Jackson's death early this morning shocked the world.

"Da Shan Kan Da Shan" needs to urgently record an episode to discuss this topic again.

Two additional shots of Old Boys were also filmed, and the content was slightly adjusted.

Jiang Yifeng's studio is also going to release a press release to capitalize on Michael Jackson's death and bring more attention to Old Boys.

The short film "Old Boys" will be released on July 1st, and Jiang Yifeng attaches great importance to it.

After so much build-up, it's time to strike while the iron is hot and push the hype to its peak.
