Huayu 1995

Chapter 162 Are you planning to give me a Rolex? (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

"You guys finished post-production in just two days! You're really dedicated!"

Sister Liu covered her mouth and laughed.

She took the initiative to partner with a newly established advertising company.

It would be strange if there were no dissenting voices within the company.

This is a foreign company, and all these employees are just wage earners. It's just that their husbands' families have some influence, which makes it easier for the company to expand its territory, so they have gotten their current positions.

But precisely because of this, everyone overlooked her education and experience.

This time, many people are waiting to find fault with her.

Company executives also sent people to the site to ensure that the company was indeed filming an advertisement.

Instead of just taking a few photos to fool people.

One or two million is a lot of money, even foreign companies wouldn't consider it a small amount these days.

The feedback was surprisingly good.

The people sent to investigate returned and said that the advertising company was extremely willing to spend money.

The director is the art director of "Da Sa Ba".

Both the photographer and the lighting technician had worked on "Red Sorghum".

The equipment used for filming is currently the most advanced in China.

Including video acquisition systems, lighting systems, stabilization and mobile equipment, sound recording systems, etc., the daily rental alone costs tens of thousands of dollars.

The cast included more than forty handsome men and beautiful women.

Three were carefully selected from among them.

The three young beauties possessed an ethereal charm, like little fairies, each with their own unique characteristics.

How could an advertisement shot like this be bad?

In addition, Su Chao's coconut tree advertisement is currently dominating CCTV, even overshadowing those in prime time.

The phrase "Hi, your coconut tree"—no, "your coconut tree"—was learned by even the children in the streets and villages in just a few days.

It was even used by some heretical practitioners to pick up girls.

Buy a coconut tree for the girl you like, and then say "Hi, your coconut tree." If she replies, "No, I mean your coconut tree," then it's pretty much a sign of mutual affection.

This also led to a boom in the skateboard market, with sales increasing by tens of thousands of percent.

Of course, the small base number is also a contributing factor.

I heard that ever since Su Chao played skateboarding in the advertisement, Xia Yu, the lead actor in the currently showing movie "In the Heat of the Sun," has also started playing skateboarding.

Xia Yu was actually wronged.

He got his first skateboard when he was sixteen, and it was an imported one. Now he has a whole wall of skateboards hanging in his house.

Is it true that he learned it from advertisements?
Damn, him...

He seems unable to explain it, damn it.

Su Chao wouldn't explain for him anyway, since he's now known as the skateboarding prince.

"A professional team makes things much easier and more efficient. The worst thing is to hire unreliable people."

Su Chao took a small sip of wine.

I don't quite understand the habits of these rich people. They choose to conduct business in karaoke bars, and even choose a private room that costs two thousand yuan just to open the room.

They also ordered high-end imported liquor.

Many times, he couldn't understand where the money of the customers in the upscale karaoke bars of 1995 came from.

How much is a chicken's fart anyway?

"You're absolutely right. A good team is essential for efficiency. I've already applied to the company, and once the ads are released, I'll implement sweeping reforms to the marketing department and get rid of all those incompetent bastards!"

Sister Liu isn't really suited to a coquettish demeanor.

She has a very heroic appearance.

She could totally go for the mature, alluring woman route that attracts both men and women.

I bet her husband would find it novel and exciting too.

But she chose a different path.

For example, wearing heavy makeup, covering her mouth and giggling, or drinking with a delicate, orchid-like gesture.

It's so beautiful to watch...

On the contrary, Thor, who is clearly a soft-spoken girl with delicate features and a sweet voice, who makes people want to touch her, insists on playing the aloof and indifferent to everyone.

Of course, she didn't have the opposite effect.

She looks good no matter what.

Su Chao didn't discuss appearance and demeanor with Sister Liu; instead, he appropriately complimented her, saying:
"Sister Liu, you are truly a woman who is just as capable as any man. Now that we have reform and opening up, we need to manage a company with scientific methods. The old family business approach is really no longer effective."

Sister Liu and Su Chao had a very pleasant chat.

There will naturally be no delays in paying the final payment.

These days, many companies are dragged down and killed.

I don't care if you need the money urgently or not. Here's a note, take it and keep it.

Su Chao's ability to quickly collect the final payment is the foundation upon which their small company, Yuanmeng Advertising, was able to establish itself so quickly.

In total, this order generated 1.8 million in revenue.

After deducting the investment of 550,000 yuan, there was still 950,000 yuan in CCTV promotions, resulting in an extra 300,000 yuan in gross profit.

Generally speaking, the profit margin isn't that high.

If it wasn't filmed in one day, but rather in three days as Huo Jianqi suggested.

It's quite normal to spend an extra 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

Moreover, Su Chao hires people at a friendly price, saving money compared to most advertising companies.

An advertising company was able to become affiliated with Xi'an Film Studio.

That also requires skill.

Even if other companies are affiliated with them, they still have to pay a considerable portion of their profits as "tribute".

Su Chao saved this money thanks to Huang Jianxin's mediation.

Of course, Su Chao couldn't remain silent.

He would give Huang Jianxin some benefits every year, usually tens of thousands of yuan a year.

In addition, gifts also need to be sent to Zhang Heping.

It's clear that CCTV was able to secure such a prime time slot for 950,000 yuan, and that it wasn't because Su Chao is handsome.

This world is a mess.

She has truly become the very thing she hates most.

However, Su Chao was happy to accept it.

Often, the worst thing isn't not having money to give gifts, but having money but no way to give them away.

After finishing the advertisement, Su Chao began preparing to go to Hong Kong.

The trip to Hong Kong didn't require much preparation. The travel permit had already been obtained.

With Hong Kong investment background and having donated 470,000, I really can't think of any reason to block him.

The trainees knew that Su Chao was going to Hong Kong.

Immediately, everyone wanted him to promote their products.

In an era when resources were relatively scarce, things from the South or Hong Kong were obviously cheaper and more useful.

Most of these students come from well-off families.

Most of the items were cosmetics and skincare products, and some people even asked Su Chao to bring them clothes.

Uh... that's a bit awkward.

After all, how could a gentleman like him inquire about a young girl's measurements?

Fortunately, the girls gave it to them voluntarily.

Even Zhou Gongzi asked Su Chao to bring her a brand-name dress.

Su Chao thought she might not look good in a dress.

However, it's understandable that Ms. Zhou also appreciates beauty, so there's no need to refuse such a small matter.

At most, I just think that Zhou Xun's reported measurements are exaggerated.

It's said that it's so that they can wear it when they grow up.

Uh……

Su Chao thought she was overthinking things.

After finishing the statistics, Su Chao saw Thor looking at the lesson plan on the side and immediately went over to him:
"Sister Lei, is there anything you need me to bring you?"

Thor has a class today, and now there's a second cohort of classes, so she comes to the courtyard almost every day.

"unnecessary……"

Thor looked up and gave him a strange look.

If this kid isn't pretending to be stupid, he should know that he goes to Hong Kong often.

It happens at least three or four times a year, and sometimes as many as seven or eight times.

Do you need help, kid, since this is your first time here?

"Oh, what a pity~"

Su Chao shook his head, seemingly quite regretful.

"If you want to give a gift, you don't necessarily have to give clothes. You can give a Rolex."

Thor gave a curt reply.

"Cough cough, why did the weather suddenly turn cold? Is it the beginning of autumn?"

Su Chao felt a chill all over his body.

Rolex!
I'd rather give you my virginity than afford a Rolex.

You think too highly of me.

"Autumn began on the 8th of last month."

Lin Zhimeng continued to look down at her lesson plan, subtly curling the corners of her lips into a smile.

However, her smile vanished the next second.

Because Su Chao suddenly said:
"My birthday is on the 5th of next month. Lao Yan and Sister Hong said they're going to throw me a birthday party in Casablanca. Sis, are you planning to get me a Rolex? Are you trying to surprise me?"

Lin Zhimeng's hands trembled slightly as she held the lesson plan.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

She must have been out of her mind to think Su Chao was a good kid when they first met.

Fortunately, Wu Yue came over at this moment and eased the tension.

"Teacher Lin, my class is over. You can get ready now."

"Thank you~"

Lin Zhimeng nodded politely to the other party, then grabbed her lesson plan and fled.

If she doesn't leave soon, she's going to hit someone.

"So, how are these students? Are they difficult to teach?"

Su Chao asked Wu Yue.

Wu Yue wasn't particularly famous in later generations; he was barely considered a second or third-tier celebrity, though he did possess some real martial arts skills.

In his early dramatic roles, his expressions were monotonous, and his acting skills were hardly worth mentioning.

Moreover, he is outspoken and arrogant, looking down on martial arts actors who are not up to par, so his online reputation is not particularly good.

As people reach middle age, they gradually develop their own performance style.

In the CCTV program "China in Classics", he and Francis Ng played the scene where Sun Tzu and Wu Zixu, the brothers, broke off their relationship.

While I wouldn't say she was on par with Francis Ng, she certainly held her own in terms of acting.

What is Francis Ng's acting skill like?

If he can carry a role like Wu Yue, there's little controversy in calling him a true powerhouse actor.

"This is too much trouble, damn it, I..."

At that age, Wu Yue was still quite inexperienced. When he heard Su Chao ask this question, he immediately had a lot of grievances to share.

"Please, good luck!"

Su Chao sympathized with him, but had no intention of saving him.

I gave you money, and you did things for me. I haven't shortchanged you a single penny, so you have to get it done for me.

The reason Su Chao doesn't teach himself.

That's because he doesn't know any tricks. The students he teaches might just gouge out eyes and kick balls right away.

Moreover, Su Chao's kung fu skills are the result of more than ten years of hard training.

There is no shortcut.

Although Wu Yue has some real skills, he comes from an academic background and knows how to quickly teach beginners some basic skills.

"Don't worry, Principal, I will teach you well!"

Once Wu Yue has the money, he won't slack off.

He exchanged a few words with Su Chao and then hurried off to class.

He has decided that if he retires next year, he will take the entrance exam for the Central Academy of Drama; if he doesn't have time next year, he will take the exam the year after.

He was very grateful to Su Chao for not only giving him the opportunity to make money, but also letting him attend classes for free.

If Su Chao hadn't refused...

He wanted to teach Su Chao his best skills.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that as he approached, Su Chao was unconsciously staring at his eyes, throat, and testicles...
