The straight man in the entertainment circle

Back home, Song Wenjie took a shower first, while Lin Li lay on the sofa and played with her mobile phone. After playing for a while, she felt bored and turned on the TV.

After flipping through several channels, they were all filled with terrible TV series and variety shows. Lin Li couldn't stand it at all, so he simply threw down the remote control and continued flipping through his phone.

Not long after, Song Wenjie finished washing and came out wearing a facial mask.

The TV is still playing. At this time, the TV series has finished playing and commercials have started to play.

"Why are you turning on the TV if you don't want to watch a movie?" Song Wenjie complained and started looking around for the TV's remote control.

Lin Li remembered that when he was a child, his mother always scolded him for always turning on the TV even though he didn't watch it, so he smiled and said, "Mom, with our current income, we shouldn't care about the electricity bill, right?"

Song Wenjie spat: "Now that you have some money, you no longer know who you are. This is not a question of money, but a question of living habits. Let's not waste unnecessary things!"

Song Wenjie finally saw the remote control and walked over. It seemed that she was going to use the remote control to turn off the TV.

Lin Li said oh and got up to wash up.

At this time, a mobile phone advertisement appeared on TV. It was the famous IU mobile phone in China.

There are many domestic mobile phone brands. In addition to Dahua mobile phones endorsed by Lin Li, there are also IU mobile phones and Suomi mobile phones. In addition, foreign mobile phone brands such as Fruit mobile phones and Five-star mobile phones also occupy a lot of the domestic market.

The IU phone in the TV commercial is a new model, and the spokesperson is Xiao Miao, who met Lin Li on Weibo night.

During Weibo night, Xiao Miao's popularity was also extremely high. If Lin Li hadn't sang the insulting song "Almost Girl" at the end, which attracted countless praises, Xiao Miao would have been the Weibo king that night.

"Double light shots illuminate your beauty, IU's hands..."

Just before Song Wenjie picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, the latest advertisement for IU's mobile phone came from the TV.

Lin Lizheng was approaching the bathroom, but when he heard this sentence, he immediately stopped in his tracks. When he looked back, Song Wenjie had already turned off the TV.

"Double light shots illuminate your beauty."

This advertising slogan was extracted by Lin Li's previous system. When Lin Li held his new album launch conference at Anji Hotel a month ago, Lin Li and An Xiaoxi said that they did not expect it to be adopted by IU mobile phones so quickly.

An advertising slogan from such a big brand is quite expensive. Lin Li thought to himself that he had generated income for An Xiaoxi's advertising building, so he had to find an opportunity for her to treat him to dinner.

When Lin Li went to school the next day, the Chinese class was already occupied by students from other departments. Fortunately, Ma Wen had already taken a seat for Lin Li.

Lin Li's entrance caused a commotion in the classroom for a long time, and it was not until the professor appeared that it calmed down.

After two classes, when get out of class was over, many people were about to gather towards Lin Li, but they heard someone shouting outside the classroom: "Lin Li!"

Everyone looked around and realized that it was An Xiaoxi who hadn't appeared for a long time.

When An Xiaoxi saw Lin Li looking at her, she waved to Lin Li and motioned for him to go out.

An Xiaoxi was the one who had an affair with Lin Li. During the time when Hua Li appeared, Lin Li and An Xiaoxi often dated on campus. At this time, An Xiaoxi suddenly appeared here looking for Lin Li. Everyone was naturally curious, and many people even started to boo.

Lin Li saw An Xiaoxi and walked out.

"Find me?"

An Xiaoxi nodded: "I have something to tell you."

Lin Li smiled and said, "Do you want to treat me to dinner?"

Lin Li thought it was about the advertisement last night and she came to thank him.

An Xiaoxi was hesitant to speak. She looked at the many stares in the classroom and said, "Let's find a quieter place to talk."

Lin Li followed An Xiaoxi, walked for a long time, and came to a grassy area of ​​​​the school. There was no one here, and An Xiaoxi finally stopped.

Seeing that An Xiaoxi didn't seem very happy, Lin Li asked, "What's wrong? I want you to treat me to dinner. You, Miss An, also care about money?"

An Xiaoxi saw Lin Li joking, but she couldn't laugh at all. She said solemnly to Lin Li: "Lin Li, I'm sorry..."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you sorry for?"

"Your... that advertising slogan..." An Xiaoxi hesitated, "it was used by our company... I'm really sorry... I just said this to you when chatting with people in private. The advertising slogan, for some reason, was used to bid for the IU mobile phone advertising plan, and it was adopted. If I hadn’t seen the advertisement yesterday, I wouldn’t have known about it.”

Lin Li also understood that An Xiaoxi was not here to treat him to dinner, but to apologize.

"Just use it. I originally said it was for you." Lin Li comforted.

Seeing that Lin Li didn't seem to care, An Xiaoxi said anxiously: "No...Lin Li, you may not understand yet. Let me tell you about our company. Our company is the best advertising company in Kyoto, called Qidi Advertising Company. We are also one of the top three advertising companies in the industry, and we are involved in most of Kyoto’s advertising business. We also participate in advertising bidding for big brands, and we have won quite a few bids.”

Lin Li nodded, thinking that people from Yanda University were popular, and An Xiaoxi's internship would directly lead her to the top of the pyramid in their field.

After introducing the company's situation, An Xiaoxi continued to introduce their working model: "The company is divided into more than ten creative groups. If it is an advertisement for a small company, we only have one group to do all the work, but if it is like IU, When a big brand needs advertising words or video creatives, our company will have at least two or three groups compete internally to ensure that they come up with the best plan and submit it. Finally, the company's upper management will decide on the best plan and bid for it. .”

Hearing this, Lin Li had some understanding of the basic operations of an advertising company. Although it was quite cruel, he did rely on his ability to speak.

An Xiaoxi's tone suddenly became a little angry when she said this: "But you know, this time, IU mobile phone advertising copywriting did not notify our creative team to come and write the copywriting, but went directly to the bidding. At first we just heard I still didn’t believe it when I heard the news. It’s impossible for the company to pay so little attention to this bidding, and why it didn’t allow for internal competition. But after the advertisement came out, I understood that they had directly used your advertising words to bid!”

Lin Li frowned and felt something was wrong, so he asked, "They didn't ask for your opinion or notify you?"

An Xiaoxi looked at Lin Li guiltily, shook her head and said, "No, I really didn't expect that TusAdvertising is a well-known company in the industry. How could it do such a thing? It's also my fault. When discussing with people in private, The slogan you mentioned in the advertisement has been revealed. I saw the advertisement last night and went to see the supervisor. The supervisor responded, and it turned out that it was the plan given by He Maozhong himself, so it could not be plagiarism."

"Who is He Maozhong?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"You can think of him as Sister Hua or Ye Jing among your agents in the entertainment industry. Anyway, he is a great figure in the advertising industry and can be regarded as the pillar of Tus. It’s just some important advertisements to check." An Xiaoxi explained.

Lin Li became even more confused after hearing this. Since He Maozhong is a person of this status, how could he plagiarize his own advertising slogans?

But this advertisement slogan was extracted from Lin Li's system. It couldn't be such a coincidence that he also thought of it, right?

And it’s word for word, which is unreasonable!

"I went to the company in the morning and wanted to find an explanation. It turned out that the company didn't believe that He Maozhong had plagiarized the slogan, and told me not to make trouble. Do you know what is even more irritating?" An Xiaoxi said angrily, Without waiting for Lin Li's reaction, she spoke to herself, "What's even more annoying is that He Maozhong found me later and said that I was very capable and wanted me to be his assistant. He also said that if it weren't for his name, IU's mobile phone will not use that slogan. It is his reputation that makes this slogan attractive! He asked me to cooperate with him and said that if I follow him, I will not have to worry about getting ahead. If I don't follow her, I will not be able to succeed in the future. There is no place for me in the industry!”

Lin Li had already expected the company's cover-up. One was an intern and the other was a pillar of the company. In the absence of irrefutable evidence, the company would of course side with He Maozhong.

But He Maozhong dared to threaten An Xiaoxi like this, which Lin Li didn't expect. Fortunately, it was An Xiaoxi. If it had been anyone else, he would have compromised long ago.

Lin Li sneered, knowing what the workplace was.

He Maozhong changed his mind and gave An Xiaoxi a promotion. He wanted to silence her, but also gave her an empty promise. Following He Maozhong, he would have more opportunities to succeed in the advertising industry. But if An Xiaoxi agreed, he would have to at least give her an empty promise. He Maozhong has been in demand for many years!

I don’t know if this is an unspoken rule in some workplaces. If you want to get ahead, you have to wait for a few years, serve tea and water to the boss, and satisfy the boss before you have a chance.

He Maozhong was able to choose An Xiaoxi. It seems that An Xiaoxi's ability in the company was seen by him. However, He Maozhong is also considered a big player in the industry. How could he do such things as plagiarism?

"Since He Maozhong is a great master in your industry, do you have any famous advertisements?" Lin Li asked.

An Xiaoxi said: "That's a lot. The earliest Guangju Compound Fertilizer, you know, it was written by Guangju Compound Fertilizer to nourish the whole earth. At that time, Guangju Compound Fertilizer was directly sold to the market. Later, Handmade soap advertisements, that artificial soap is all about your natural beauty, you know, and Xinsu electric cars..."

Speaking of professional knowledge, An Xiaoxi said a lot at once.

It has to be said that He Maozhong's "results" mentioned by An Xiaoxi are indeed tough, and all the advertisements in them are known. It's no wonder that he is regarded as a god in the industry.

"I have heard of these advertisements, but I think they were all seen on TV when I was a child. Has He Maozhong done any famous advertisements recently?" Lin Li discovered some problems after listening to An Xiaoxi's words.

An Xiaoxi said: "In recent years, he has withdrawn from the front line of the advertising industry. He is only responsible for the quality and creative control of big-name advertisements in our company, and has no longer done advertising."

Lin Li asked: "Then what advertisement did he last do before retiring behind the scenes?"

An Xiaoxi was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know the specifics. I only know that his last few ads didn't seem to have any response."

Lin Li nodded, so he had some judgments of his own. Currently, Lin Li had strong [reasoning ability]. After asking An Xiaoxi about these contents, he deduced a possibility, that is, He Maozhong retired in recent years. Being on the second line is not because he has retired after his success, but because he has no choice but to not want to keep failing and lose his golden signature.

Obviously, He Maozhong's advertisements can no longer keep up with the trend. He is unwilling to go back to the glorious moments of the past, but he can no longer create stunning advertisements, so he has been retreating behind the scenes for so many years while looking for a suitable one. popular.

His skills are not up to par with this era, but He Maozhong still has an eye for good and bad advertising, and he is probably very confident in his eye for advertising talents.

But this time, he fell in love with An Xiaoxi.

The aura and market sensitivity An Xiaoxi has shown in the past six months at TusPark have given He Maozhong hope of making a comeback.

The most important thing is that An Xiaoxi's character of not fighting or grabbing made He Maozhong think that he could control her.

Lin Li did not tell An Xiaoxi what he had deduced. He knew An Xiaoxi's ability, and she would come forward even if she did not rely on He Maozhong and Qidi Company.

"An intern can be favored by a big shot in the industry and ask you to be his deputy. It seems that your performance in the company is good, so have you agreed?" Lin Li asked An Xiaoxi jokingly.

I have to say that He Maozhong's proposal is actually very tempting to many newcomers in the workplace.

But they don't know that An Xiaoxi is the daughter of Anji Hotel, and her net worth is higher than that of He Maozhong!

"Agree? How is it possible? I was so angry that I resigned immediately. I am an intern and can leave in three days!" An Xiaoxi said angrily, "I wanted to sue them, but I asked my friend who studied law. This kind of thing, without evidence, prosecution is useless.”

Lin Li asked: "Do they still know that I told you this advertisement?"

An Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Well, I never mentioned that we knew each other."

Although An Xiaoxi is a famous figure in Yan University, not many people know her outside the campus.

Naturally, no one knew about her acquaintance with Lin Li.

Lin Li smiled after hearing this and said, "Do they also know that you are the eldest lady of the An family?"

"Not sure...but I didn't mention it proactively, and they probably don't know. After all, the company won't investigate individual families."

Lin Li patted An Xiaoxi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be sad. The one who should be sad is He Maozhong. I think he will lose his life insurance in the evening!"

An Xiaoxi looked at Lin Li and said, "Lin Li, what are you going to do? We can't win without evidence. Instead, they can bite you back and accuse you of slander."

"You don't have to sue him, you can ruin his reputation." After Lin Li finished speaking, he saw that An Xiaoxi was a little confused, and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let this person go, but you, now that you have resigned, what are your plans in the future?" ?”

An Xiaoxi felt much more at ease after hearing Lin Li's words. She truly trusted Lin Li and felt that whatever Lin Li wanted to do, he would do well.

"I have thought about opening my own advertising company. Anyway, this half-year internship experience has given me some understanding of the industry. It would be good for me to start my own business and recruit my classmates as helpers, but it may not be bad at the beginning. There won’t be any big companies that like us, so just take your time.”

An Xiaoxi is a person who looks weak but is actually very determined. She had the idea of ​​​​starting a business, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

When Lin Li heard that An Xiaoxi wanted to start a business, he thought that he had family genes.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a mine at home!
