Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 58 Time Cigarette
  Tang De is currently sitting in the conference room with Jimmy discussing new projects.

"Look, these, these are the information of new customers! Wow! It's so exciting, we actually became famous in one battle!"

Jimmy couldn't sit still at all, so he put his butt on Tang De's desk, unbuttoned his shirt, and showed Tang De the brand companies he had contacted in the past two days with an excited look on his face.

"Well, they are indeed quite famous."

Tang De raised his eyebrows. He actually saw Coca-Cola in it. It seemed that Jia's advertisement had indeed aroused the interest of many large companies.

Unfortunately, they were only consultations and did not finalize cooperation.

But it doesn’t matter, anyway, they proved something with this idea. As mentioned in the company’s slogan, they indeed provide the top ideas in the United States.

So other companies also want to try whether supreme creativity can save their own sluggish products.

But Tang De was not blinded by such vain consultation and information. He threw away most of the papers in front of him, leaving only one piece.

However, unlike what Jimmy expected, Tang De actually chose a cigarette brand this time!
  "Why? Tang De? Why don't we continue to be in the food industry?" Jimmy had no idea that Tang De's choice would be like this. Although the Time Brand cigarettes have a high market share, since the United States released 'Smoking' in 1964 After reports of harmful health effects and fines of more than $ billion on the tobacco industry, controls on the industry are tightening every year.

In addition, the United States banned tobacco advertisements from appearing on screens in 1970, so now the advertisements placed by tobacco companies do not contain tobacco at all, and they are all promotions of their own brands. And they are very cautious, and their relationship with the advertising agency has become stable, so they will not change people easily.

However, Time Brand is an exception because their advertising contract with the advertising agency is about to expire recently, so they launched this advertising campaign.

But Jimmy felt that this was just a cover. The advertising agency must have had a deal with the top management of the tobacco company. If the creative gap was not big, they would definitely continue to win the three-year advertising contract.

Seeing Jimmy's confusion, Tang De picked up the page and read it while explaining: "Because we want to expand our business, Jimmy, do you know why companies in other industries don't come to us?"

"why?"

"Because they think the only industry we are good at is food." Tang De looked directly at Jimmy: "But we are not, we just happened to catch up with Jia's order."

"So we have to break this impression?" Jimmy frowned, thoughtfully.

"Yes, we want to send a signal to the outside world, telling them that Supreme Creative is not only good at food, but also good at other categories. As for why you chose a tobacco company? Do you think advertising in this market is easy to do?"

"Of course it's not easy to do! Every time I see an advertisement, it reminds me of my own health!" Jimmy saw it immediately and directly pointed out the disadvantages of advertising this type of product.

"Yes, that's right. Tobacco industry advertising is difficult to do, so we have to do it!" Tang De slapped the paper on the table: "This is more in line with the concept of supreme creativity, isn't it?"

"America's top creative provider?" Jimmy repeated the slogan.

Tang De smiled: "Yes, that's it. We dare to do industries that others dare not do, and do them better than others. Isn't this the best advertisement!"

"Yeah! You're right, Tang De, I understand!" Jimmy became happy again: "Then you must already have an idea!"

Unexpectedly, Tang De shook his head: "No."

"What? This doesn't look like you! Donde!" Jimmy opened his mouth wide.

"Hey, man, don't worry." Tang De stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Although I don't have any specific ideas yet, I already have some ideas in my mind. Creativity doesn't come that fast. Let the inspiration fly for a while."

Tang De circled his fingers on his temples, then turned and walked towards the door.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked: "By the way, Jimmy, which is the old advertising agency of Time Brand?"

"IPG, old rival." Jimmy felt strange when he thought about running into the same company's advertising campaigns three times in a row, as if they were some kind of enemy.

But Tang De didn't care. He opened the door and walked over and said, "IPG, it seems they are really unlucky."

"Yes, it's really bad luck to meet companies like yours." Jimmy agreed with a smile.

After Tang De left the company, he went to the customer service area and mingled with the girls. What he liked most now was listening to the girls chatting with him in gentle and charming voices, and then making dirty jokes from time to time, which made them laugh. Laugh, look at those jumping breasts again. After Tang De left the company, he took a taxi directly to the bar.

The reason why I came here was of course to meet a beautiful woman.

"Jingle Bell!"

Pushing open the door of the bar, what you see is the dim bar counter and the small light yellow lights. It's not yet nighttime, and the bar has just started to open.

Tang De took a few steps inside and saw the long, straight golden hair next to the bar.

"Avril."

He said hello and sat next to Avril. The bartender who was cleaning the glasses immediately asked: "Sir, what do you want to drink?"

"Have a drink of your specialty."

"it is good."

Avril turned to look at Tang De: "You're late."

"What, is it hard for you to wait for a handsome guy?"

Avril was amused by this sentence: "Shit, Tang De, you are so thick-skinned."

"Isn't it? Am I not handsome?"

Tang De moved his face closer to Avril, but she did not avoid him, but looked straight at him.

This distance even allows them to smell each other's scent.

It's still lavender, strong but not fragrant.

The two were silent for a long time, but fortunately the bartender brought the wine glass to Tang De.

Tang De picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows: "This wine is good, bartender, what is it called?"

"Baked with enthusiasm." The bartender replied with a smile, and then moved to the other end of the bar in a wise manner.

"Baked with passion..." Tang De muttered the name of the wine and felt an inspiration flash in his mind.

When Avril saw this, she didn't say anything to disturb Tang De. She just drank in silence because she knew this state. She often did this when she was in school.

Her classmates said she looked like a fool, but that was actually just her thinking about how to write the lyrics.

Fortunately, Tang De's silence didn't last long, and he recovered after a minute.

"What did you think of?" Avril was a little curious. She felt that Tang De was very mysterious and had an unapproachable temperament, just like he did on the set.

But this made her want to explore deeper, because rebellious people don't follow the rules.

She liked Tang De's boldness, his uniqueness and his swear words when trolling others. It was very real and made her feel that she and Tang De were the same type of person.

"Nothing, I just thought of a good idea."

Before going out, I told Jimmy to let the inspiration fly for a while, but the bartender's words directly brought the inspiration to the ground.

He thought about what selling point the time card should focus on.
