Chapter 193 Propaganda Mission
Xiang Nanfang had a pleasant voice, but his aura was incredibly strong; Zhang Jianjun felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him. Could this be the power of the Xie Zhi?
Zhang Jianjun reached out and shook hands with Xiang Nanfang. "Director Xiang, hello!"
Although Xiang Nanfang exuded a strong aura, Zhang Jianjun was able to withstand it easily. However, deep down, Zhang Jianjun disliked career-oriented women. He was extremely chauvinistic, believing that women should ideally be docile and submissive.
The three sat down, and Xiang Nanfang and Ma Hongzhe talked about work again. They wanted to make progress in the publicity work, but the existing publicity plan was laborious and thankless, with a lot of work done but little effect.
Zhang Jianjun, who was listening nearby and found it interesting, chimed in, "What are your recent publicity tasks?"
Xiang Nanfang said, "It's about teaching in rural areas! Although we've been promoting the glory of teaching in rural areas, the teaching staff is still too weak. Even in rural areas around cities, there are very few teachers. In some places, a school only has two teachers. So the task given by the higher authorities is to step up the promotion of the sense of responsibility of teaching in rural areas."
"Have you ever thought about advertising on TV?" Zhang Jianjun suggested.
Xiang Nanfang was taken aback. "Can we still advertise? But nobody watches ads, right?"
Zhang Jianjun smiled slightly, "People may not watch other ads, but they won't forget a good ad after seeing it just once!"
Xiang Nanfang was curious about Zhang Jianjun's suggestion and gestured for Zhang Jianjun to continue.
Zhang Jianjun ignored Xiang Nanfang's commanding gesture, saying, "If we film the advertisement as a vivid and representative short story, it might attract wider attention."
"For example, there was a volunteer teacher... so the story was titled 'Not One Less!'"
These days, the advertising industry is still immature, and public service advertising is even more in its infancy. Widespread advertising hasn't been established yet, and all those public service advertisements that are deeply ingrained in the memories of those born in the 80s and 90s haven't appeared yet. For example, the advertisement "The tree desires stillness, but the wind never ceases; the child desires to care for his parents, but they are no longer there!" planted the concepts of "family" and "filial piety" in the hearts of those born in the 80s—it was incredibly successful!
"That sounds great, very different from the current ads!" Xiang Nanfang looked at Zhang Jianjun with fervent eyes, then turned to Ma Hongzhe, "We can consider this plan! I heard there's a great ad in Guizhou and Sichuan, it seems to be about saving water, but Jianjun's plan should be even better! Let's contact the TV station later!"
Zhang Jianjun smiled mysteriously, "I know a pair of reporters from the TV station named Qiao Yicheng and Song Qingyuan. Qiao Yicheng is my childhood friend. Just go find them."
Xiang Nan's eyes widened. "You mean, Song Qingyuan?"
"correct."
Xiang Nanfang laughed, "What a coincidence! You and that guy... Qiao Yicheng, right? You and Qiao Yicheng are childhood friends, and I and Song Qingyuan are childhood friends too! Isn't that a coincidence?"
Ma Hongzhe clapped his hands and interjected, "In the end, they're all on our side! Otherwise, why would the newspapers be saying the world is getting smaller?"
Zhang Jianjun thought to himself, "The world is getting smaller, but that's not what it means!" But since he was still his brother-in-law, who wasn't related by blood, he didn't want to contradict him.
They happened to see Xiang Nanfang also trying his best to endure it. The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
“This will save you trouble. Director Xiang, just contact Song Qingyuan directly! I heard from Qiao Yicheng that his photography skills are quite good.” Actually, this was said just this morning.
Xiang Nanfang nodded, then shook her head. "I'll go see Song Qingyuan tonight. This is simple. His house isn't far from mine; we've been neighbors since we were kids. We're family. Jianjun, don't call me Director anymore. Just call me Nanfang or Sister Nanfang."
"Okay, South!"
After finishing their meal, Ma Hongzhe saw Xiang Nanfang off, and Zhang Jianjun then asked Ding Jiqing to change his clothes and find a place to administer acupuncture.
Twenty minutes later, Ma Hongzhe saw Zhang Jianjun off. Ding Jiqing did not come out to see him off because he needed to rest after acupuncture.
At the door, Ma Hongzhe warmly invited Zhang Jianjun to come often in the future, his purpose, of course, being for Xiang Nanfang's sake!
Ma Hongzhe has been working for several years, but his abilities and education are not particularly outstanding. However, he does have some connections, so he is doing fairly well in this remote place.
The next afternoon, Zhang Jianjun first delivered the ointment to Qiao Simei. He deliberately made three extra portions so that Qiao Simei could give them to her roommate as a favor.
Overjoyed, Qiao Simei tried to hug Zhang Jianjun at the school gate, but Zhang Jianjun held her head down.
Even in the 1990s, overly intimate behavior in public places was still not allowed on campus! We couldn't let our hard-earned college students be wasted like this!
After leaving the School of Auditing, Zhang Jianjun went to Yingda University to find Qiao Sanli. Qiao Sanli took Zhang Jianjun for a stroll around the campus for an hour, and then took him out for dinner before leaving.
Qiao Sanli told Zhang Jianjun that she was preparing for her graduation internship. She would probably be doing an internship then, but the internship unit had not yet been decided. However, it was likely to be Yingtian Securities, a state-owned enterprise, but it was a newly established unit that was currently short of staff.
Zhang Jianjun suggested that Qiao Sanli go and check out the situation; it would be good to learn about the operation of the securities company.
On Thursday, Zhang Jianjun had to go back to work. His days off were always short; although he'd had several shifts, it was really only a couple of days. Zhang Jianjun's days off weren't scheduled for the weekend, but he didn't complain; he wasn't fixated on weekends.
When he arrived at the classroom, the head of internal medicine called him to his office. "This is Chang Xingyu. You should know him. From now on, you'll share a consultation room!"
Zhang Jianjun looked at Chang Xingyu, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, and said, "This is my junior sister! She learned everything from Teacher Tao."
The head of internal medicine suddenly realized, "That's even better! Okay, you can go and prepare!"
It's called one consultation room, but it's actually two. It's a large room, divided in half to serve as two consultation rooms, but connected by a doorway. Previously, the other room was left unused because there weren't suitable candidates.
Chang Xingyu's rank wasn't high, so she didn't have many patients. When she wasn't busy, she would often come to Zhang Jianjun's place to help him out.
Zhang Jianjun was also relieved of a lot of trouble. Sometimes when it was necessary to break the seal, he could have Chang Xingyu act as a witness, so he didn't have to go outside to call for a nurse all the time.
Every morning, Chang Xingyu would make two boxed lunches, and at noon, he would heat them up at the cafeteria and bring them back to eat with Zhang Jianjun. Zhang Jianjun declined twice, but Chang Xingyu insisted, so he didn't refuse again.
A week later, Qiao Yicheng suddenly approached Zhang Jianjun and asked, "Xiaojun, could you write 'Not One Less' into a screenplay?"
Zhang Jianjun thought for a moment, "Okay, the day after tomorrow. I only have time to write in the evenings, and I can finish it by then. Has Xiang Nanfang contacted you?"
Qiao Yicheng nodded. "Nanfang contacted Qingyuan, hoping we could take sample photos for her so she could see the effect."
"That's it? Did you guys go out for dinner and drinks together?" Zhang Jianjun continued to press, wondering if they had met too early.
At that time, Xiang Nanfang was just a director. When Qiao Yicheng met Xiang Nanfang again after his divorce from Ye Xiaolang, Xiang Nanfang had become a minister!
Qiao Yicheng was also puzzled, "Drinking? Why are we drinking together?"
Zhang Jianjun waved his hand, "I just heard that people at the end of the universe drink alcohol, so I asked casually."
Perhaps they are both slow to warm up, and that sparks will fly later on.
After seeing Qiao Yicheng off, Zhang Jianjun sat down at his desk, recalled the plot, and then slowly reconstructed the story scene by scene into text.
I wrote until 10 p.m. before realizing I had written too much. The advertisement only needed to be condensed into a few or a dozen scenes or images, so I picked up my pen again to condense it.
I revised it several times, but I'm still not entirely satisfied.
Doing advertising is definitely not something just anyone can do!
