Rebirth in 2011: Starting as an Advertising Genius

A sunny day in April 2011

Today at the student affairs office, when I took out that contract, Mr. Hu's expression was hilarious.

The faces of those second- and third-year student counselors were as black as the bottom of a pot.

They kept saying "it's impossible for a freshman," so I slammed the contract on the table.

Facts speak louder than words.

Chen Jianghe, that guy, is quite composed.

I told him to wait at the entrepreneurship center, and he really did wait there, without arguing or making a fuss.

He never seems to be in a hurry.

Unlike me, when I see him being questioned, I can't help but stand up for him.

Am I... meddling too much?

[In the blank space of the diary, there was a rectangle that looked like a contract, and next to it, there was a little person with his hands on his hips and the word "humph" written on his face.]

------------

"Boss, you really secured this office?"

Xia An looked around the office and clicked his tongue in amazement.

The boss is incredibly capable; he actually managed to secure the best office location in the startup center.

"So I'll be working here from now on?"

"What are your thoughts on the three videos I mentioned last time?"

Chen Jianghe did not respond to her curiosity and surprise, but instead focused on his own career.

The purpose of applying for this office is to recruit people, so that people will not think that we are just a makeshift operation.

"The filming is no problem. I have a classmate who can help me. The two of us can finish the three videos first, and then you can hire more people as well, boss!"

Xia An said casually.

There are only three videos in total, which she could actually handle herself.

Seeing this, Chen Jianghe shook his head. Xia An's skills were undeniable, but she seemed really unsuitable for managing a team.

"Okay, I'll finalize the filming schedule, and you guys can choose the locations to shoot!"

Chen Jianghe thought of Yuan Meng. This girl was in the same major as him. Since the GG major is more comprehensive than other majors, he decided to let her give it a try.

Chen Jianghe drafted a recruitment advertisement.

[Movie Review: Responsible for selecting good movies and editing a review of each movie]

[Movie Dubbing: Narrate based on the provided text; those with unique voices will be given priority]

[Taobao store customer service: Responsible for replying to backend messages daily and guiding customers to place orders]

[Two anchors: responsible for filming the adventure challenge competition]

The photographer was no longer needed; Xia An would take charge. They were recruiting 4-5 people in total. Chen Jianghe made a simple poster, wrote "Entrepreneurship Center A01" as the registration address, and posted it on the school's forum.

After the release, Chen Jianghe calmed down and wrote scripts for several videos.

Ignore the movie commentator; he's not a professional. Let's wait for a professional to come.

Then there's the random passerby interview VLOG. Chen Jianghe previously mentioned how much it costs to be a student for a day, but he hadn't thought about the details. The casting needs to have a certain personality, otherwise the video presentation will be very flat.

After thinking for a while, Chen Jianghe decided to find a classmate who works part-time to conduct the interview. Such a classmate might spend 30 yuan a day, but could earn another 30 yuan through part-time work, so in the end, he would not actually spend any money at all.

Moreover, this footage can be used to shoot many story-driven scenes, and can even be used as material when doing part-time jobs.

Within half a day of the job posting being released, someone had already applied.

The first job I applied for was surprisingly a movie narrator position.

"Hi student, are you hiring movie narrators here?"

Chen Jianghe looked at the person who had just arrived. The person was a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses and a plaid shirt.

He was tall and thin, with somewhat long hair, and habitually pushed up his glasses before speaking.

Chen Jianghe nodded and said, "Yes, you're here for a job interview?"

"Yes, my name is Zhang Wei, and I'm a sophomore majoring in film and television directing." His voice wasn't loud, but his pronunciation was clear. "I saw your job posting on the forum."

Chen Jianghe gestured for him to sit down: "What movies have you seen?"

"I watch almost everything." Zhang Wei sat down, his back very straight.

"I watch at least five movies a week, and I've marked more than 1,200 of them on Douban."

"Let's talk about Breaking Bad," Chen Jianghe said, leaning back in his chair. "Although it's an American TV series, the logic of explanation is the same as that of the movie. Suppose you were making an explanation video, how would you explain it?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the interview to be so direct.

But his expression changed after less than two seconds of stunned silence.

The student's restraint transformed into a kind of focused concentration, indicating a high level of self-confidence.

"If I were to explain Breaking Bad..." He leaned forward slightly, gesturing naturally with his hands.

"I won't start from the first episode of the first season. Instead, I'll begin with a question: How does a high school chemistry teacher become a top global drug lord?"

Chen Jianghe had naturally seen this movie as well.

Or rather, in his previous life, he had watched countless movies on a certain app, the kind of movies with a man named Xiaoshuai and a woman named Xiaomei, you could see them just by scrolling through a few videos.

Zhang Wei continued:

"Walter White, 50, a high school chemistry teacher, earns so little that he has to work part-time at a car wash. His son has cerebral palsy, his wife is unexpectedly pregnant, and he himself has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. His insurance does not cover his treatment costs, and surgery will cost over ten thousand US dollars."

He spoke at a measured pace, as if telling an ancient story:

"His life had hit rock bottom. But it was at this lowest point that he saw an 'opportunity'—one of his former students was dealing drugs on the street. Walter walked over and said, 'Do you want to get rich?'"

"Many people interpret Breaking Bad as a story of a 'good guy turning bad.' But I think Walter was never a good guy. He was just oppressed by the system for too long, and cancer wore away his last bit of conscience. Chemistry is a science about 'change,' and Walter's change is a microcosm of the discipline and counter-discipline of the whole society."

"At the end of the first season, Walter stands in the desert in his underwear and says to the camera, 'I'm alive.' *At that moment, it wasn't that a good person died and a bad person was born, but that a soul that had been suppressed for fifty years truly breathed for the first time."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he adjusted his glasses and regained his student-like composure.

"That's roughly... the style."

Chen Jianghe stared at him for a few seconds.

It's not because he spoke badly, but because he spoke too well.

but,

"I completely agree with your understanding of the film, however..."

Chen Jianghe continued calmly, "What I need is a film explanation, so it needs to be from a third-person perspective, allowing the audience to understand the film simply and clearly in ten minutes. Do you think that's acceptable?"

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, then Chen Jianghe continued:

"If possible, I need you to narrate eight movies every month. You'll use the more than 1000 movies in your head in the future. Each movie narration will be worth 500 yuan!"

hiss~

Zhang Wei gasped!

To seize the young?
