Chapter 194: 192, such a student Luofeng? Isn't he amazing?
"Alright, no problem!" Luofeng nodded.
With fifty-two students in the class, even one bottle per person would only cost a little over ten thousand Yuan.
"By the way, Manager Meng, I still hope you can arrange for staff to guide us on how to apply the sunscreen and, incidentally, explain the sponsorship details," Luofeng said.
"Please rest assured, I will handle this matter personally; there will be no slip-ups!" Meng Xiaojiao said.
"Great. Let's add each other on WeChat," Luofeng suggested. "Please arrive there before one o'clock this afternoon. I'll personally welcome you, and then you can guide everyone on applying the sunscreen."
"Mm-hmm. I'll bring the sunscreen with me then," she replied.
As Meng Xiaojiao spoke, her hands moved quickly, and she added Luofeng on WeChat.
"Okay!" Luofeng nodded, accepting her WeChat request.
"Let's settle the bill first. I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the arrangements," Luofeng said, directly transferring over ten thousand Yuan.
Once all this was taken care of, Luofeng drove to The First Film University of Shu City where he found someone named Hu Yong. Hu Yong, a senior in the directing department, was a video creator on Bilibili. Luofeng had contacted him before, and Hu Yong had indicated he could shoot documentaries.
"Senior Hu, have you arrived?"
"Yes, I'm at the Starbucks near the school!"
"Please wait a moment; I'll be there in a few minutes!"
In less than five minutes, Luofeng arrived at Starbucks. He directly called Hu Yong, learned his table number, and walked over.
"Hello, Luofeng. I'm Hu Yong!"
Hu Yong politely extended his hand. Before Luofeng had arrived, Hu Yong had already sized him up from head to toe. Luofeng was dressed entirely in Gucci.
"Hello, Senior Hu Yong! What would you like to drink?" Luofeng asked as he sat down. After choosing a latte for himself, he handed the menu to Hu Yong.
Hu Yong felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't ordered coffee yet, afraid Luofeng might not show up, which would mean wasted money. As a final-year student, he was already feeling the pressures of life.
"Senior, take a look at the menu and pick something," Luofeng said, passing the menu over.
"Thank you." Hu Yong accepted it and ordered the cheapest Americano.
Luofeng didn't mind what Hu Yong ordered and placed their orders. Then he said, "I've just secured a sponsorship from Anessa. Senior Hu, if you're going to shoot the documentary, how many cameras can you use, how many people can you arrange, and what would the price be?"
Hu Yong thought quickly, pondering for almost a minute before replying, "If it's just filming the military training, two Sony A7 mirrorless cameras and one DJI drone should be enough."
Observing Luofeng's reaction, Hu Yong continued, "I'll bring at least four people: two camera operators and two sound technicians. We'll also need a general assistant on set. And finally, myself."
Luofeng listened calmly, his expression unchanging.
Finally, Hu Yong explained the costs. "Our team consists of six people. We'd hope for 200 Yuan per person per day. As for editing and post-production fees, we can discuss those later. Today's half-day of work would be complimentary. What do you think, Junior?"
"Is a team of six enough?" Luofeng asked.
Hu Yong smiled. "We might be a bit short on sound technicians, but if the camera mainly focuses on you, Junior, there definitely won't be any issues."
"No, no, no," Luofeng said, shaking his head. "This time, the main focus isn't me. I don't want to be on camera. I'll tell you later who to focus on. Since there aren't enough sound technicians, should we add a few more?"
"Adding two more is possible!" Hu Yong replied.
Luofeng said, "Alright, no problem. Two more it is, still at 200 Yuan per person per day. As for meals, our school has a canteen. It'll be a good chance for you to see how it compares to yours."
After a moment's thought, Luofeng added, "I'll also give each of you an extra forty Yuan per day as a transportation and meal allowance. I've calculated it, and that should be enough to cover travel from your school and two meals at ours."
"Ah! Thank you!" Hu Yong said gratefully.
Although Luofeng had only added forty Yuan, it was a significant bonus for a final-year student feeling financial pressure. Even without the extra, Hu Yong would have accepted the job.
Luofeng smiled. "No need for thanks. However, for editing and post-production, I'd prefer a lump sum. If you agree, please prepare a simple service contract. It should specifically note that the video ownership rights and the copyright for the documentary belong to me."
"No problem. I'll bring it over at noon," Hu Yong replied with a smile.
After finalizing arrangements with Hu Yong, Luofeng returned to his school. He went to the convenience store just outside the campus and, employing the same methods as before, secured a sponsorship from Cayman Holding Corp as well.
Of course, after handling these sponsorships, Luofeng's next step was to get approval from Instructor Yun Shan.
But with such good news, why would Yun Shan refuse? Luofeng thought. After all, university military training isn't some confidential matter. Why not allow it to be recorded? Moreover, it brings such great benefits to the whole class. Having a student who can secure sponsorships like this would surely be a point of pride for him, wouldn't it?
Of course, Yun Shan would still need to ask the university leadership for permission. But why would the leadership disapprove? It wouldn't cost them a cent, Luofeng mused.
Once everything was settled, Luofeng announced the news in the class WeChat group.
"Classmates, I have more good news! Please come to the classroom on the 4th floor by one o'clock this afternoon. I've secured a sponsorship from Anessa for sunscreen for our military training!"
"The sponsorship includes one 60ml 'Little Gold Bottle' sunscreen for everyone!"
"Plus, a personal application tutorial from the Anessa Taikooli Store!"
"Please make sure to be there!"
"And there's more good news! Since we've secured the Anessa sunscreen sponsorship, and Anessa will be filming a documentary about the sunscreen's effectiveness during our training, we've also successfully obtained sponsorships from Cayman Holding Corp and for Huoxiang Zhengqi Water! These will be provided free of charge throughout our military training!"
"So, everyone, let's do our best and give Anessa some great footage for their documentary!"
After Luofeng sent the messages in the class group, it immediately erupted with excitement.
Li Lejia: "Damn it, damn it! I worship the master!"
Lin Zixia: "Thank you, Student Luofeng! You're amazing!"
Li Yue: "Brother Feng is so cool!"
WangGui: "I'll definitely be on time! Even though I'm very tan, I don't want to get any tanner!"
Li Hu: "Thanks to our Brother Feng! You're a lifesaver, man!"
Ma Tao: "I don't know what to say... just that our Student Life Rep is awesome, period!"
