Chapter 204: 202, Have you heard that directors have a kind of magical ability?
"HAHA!"
Luofeng laughed.
Without the System, all of this would have been impossible. But with the System, anything became possible.
"May I ask when Mr. Luo plans to hand over the materials to us?" Meng Xiaojiao asked.
Given the current circumstances, the sooner they at Anessa got the materials, the sooner they could start promoting. After all, in commercial competition, every second counts.
How big is the market for sunscreen during military training in Daxia?
It was huge.
Anessa coveted this market, which was why they thought of Luofeng's documentary.
"I can come over to your Flagship Store right now!"
"Alright, we await Mr. Luo's arrival!"
After arranging the meeting with Meng Xiaojiao, Luofeng dialed Li Hu's number.
"Li Shenshi, where did you and WangGui go?" Luofeng asked.
"What, Brother Feng, are you leaving?"
"Yes, I have something to discuss at Taikoo Li. Are you guys coming?" Luofeng asked.
"We won't be; we're just taking a walk around the school," Li Hu said.
These two? Such oddballs. Strolling around the film academy under the scorching sun? These two rascals! Why don't they just try to fly up and be shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun?
"What's going on?" Luofeng asked, feigning ignorance. He knew perfectly well they stayed to check out the beauties.
"We're playing basketball here, and WangGui Sponsors is wreaking havoc! I got to chatting with the cheerleaders, you know!" Li Hu said with a laugh.
It's always about the women with them, Luofeng thought. "Alright then, you guys head back to school on your own. I'm leaving."
"Mhm!" Li Hu nodded, eagerly hanging up the phone.
These two brothers are really something else, aren't they? Luofeng thought.
Soon, Luofeng left the cinema, took his Mobile Hard Disk, and went to Taikoo Li, where he found Meng Xiaojiao waiting for him.
"Mr. Luo, you are really amazing!"
"No need for formalities. Shall we take a look at the promotional film?" Luofeng said with a slight smile, not wasting any time.
"Yes, let's talk in the office," Meng Xiaojiao said, leading the way.
Once in the office, Luofeng connected the Mobile Hard Disk to the laptop. He let Meng Xiaojiao watch two versions of the documentary, one minute and three minutes long.
Hu Yong really had some skills. Both the one-minute promotional film and the three-minute one highlighted the effectiveness of Anessa's sunscreen. After all, Luofeng had initially told him that Anessa wanted to shoot a promotional film, and that's exactly what he had done.
"These two promotional films are awesome! Thank you so much, Mr. Luo, I'm thoroughly convinced!" Meng Xiaojiao exclaimed once more.
"It's nothing. Oh, I do have an additional request: please retain some information about the film crew in the promotion!" Although Luofeng couldn't ensure that every crew member's name was mentioned, the team's name could certainly be included.
"Mr. Luo is so considerate," Meng Xiaojiao said with a smile.
"It's only right. After all, we might cooperate with the film crew again in the future. Having one more friend is always nicer," Luofeng said cheerfully.
"So, could that mean that I, Meng Xiaojiao, am also considered a friend?" Meng Xiaojiao joked.
"We already are!" Luofeng nodded.
To be frank, Meng Xiaojiao felt she was very narrow-minded; she had been won over by Luofeng countless times. She admired Luofeng's approach to life and his magnanimity, especially when he requested to retain the film crew's name. It made her think very highly of his character.
Soon after signing the contract, Meng Xiaojiao transferred 200,000 yuan to Luofeng.
"Thank you, Manager Meng. This way, I've settled things satisfactorily for my classmates," Luofeng said, chuckling.
"Isn't Mr. Luo just trying to make a profit?" Meng Xiaojiao looked at Luofeng skeptically.
"Of course not. This promotional film contains all our classmates' bittersweet memories of military training. The value it creates naturally belongs to every one of the students."
"You mean..." Meng Xiaojiao already guessed.
"Regarding the 200,000 yuan licensing fee, I plan to share it with the entire class!"
"You truly are remarkable, Mr. Luo," Meng Xiaojiao said earnestly.
Of course, Luofeng's choice was correct. Two hundred thousand yuan wasn't a lot, and it was better to have an excuse to share it with the class. But if Luofeng had kept the money himself, what would everyone have said? That he was using them as pawns to make money? That he made them think he had really pulled in a sponsorship for them? Perhaps the whole class would have started to become dissatisfied with Luofeng.
After Meng Xiaojiao finished copying the files, Luofeng put away the hard disk. The contents could be kept, but the copyright now belonged to Anessa. It was also a precious memory for everyone.
"I'll be on my way then. Best wishes for your campaign's great success!"
"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Luo, and for helping to bring this about!" Meng Xiaojiao responded.
Soon, Luofeng left Anessa at Taikoo Li. He went next door to Starbucks and settled down.
Luofeng first took a photo of the contract with Anessa. Then he made a WeChat call to Hu Yong.
"Student Luo, have you finished your negotiations with Anessa?"
"Yes, senior. You'll have to treat me to a meal someday," Luofeng said, half-joking. "And bring along your university's Department Beauty, or the Class Beauty would also do!"
Hu Yong was taken aback, then had a vague notion. "Anessa isn't really going to advertise the documentary we shot, are they?"
Luofeng laughed. "HAHAHA, indeed! You guys are lucky. Shiseido will promote it on a large scale; I've made a special agreement with them. Oh, and your team's name will be kept in the promotional film! So, don't you think you should treat me to a meal?"
"I will, definitely! Thank you, junior!" Hu Yong said excitedly.
"Then let's set a date sometime. Hot Pot or BoBo chicken is also fine. Future great director, I hear you directors have magical abilities, so you decide. My future happiness is in your hands," Luofeng teased.
But arranging a meal is also a way to build camaraderie. The best choice would be down-to-earth skewers and BoBo chicken.
Hu Yong started to make complaints. "I feel like you're teasing me! Will I really be that kind of director in the future? But... if I really make it, how about I make an exception and arrange a big star for you? HAHAHA!"
Hu Yong laughed.
Luofeng laughed as well.
"Alright, I'll hang up now. I've got some things to take care of."
Luofeng ended the call. He sent Hu Yong the contract with Anessa, including the clause to keep the team's name.
Hu Yong sent back a kowtowing worship emoji.
"Thanks, junior! I really can't say enough. If someday I, old Hu, also make it big, I'll make sure to set things up crystal clear for my junior."
