Lucy is an ordinary white-collar worker in New York, and her company is located near Times Square, known as the "crossroads of the world".
Today, I was chatting with a little sister at a nearby Starbucks during lunch break. Well, in fact, we complained about how stupid the boss is and how wise the customers are.
Just on the way to go back to work, I was attracted by the content shown on a big screen next to the intersection.
This big screen is a Nasdaq big screen, which can be said to be a sky-high advertising fee. Her annual income of US$50,000 to 60,000 can only cover half a day. After all, it is the most expensive advertising screen in the world.
She stopped, and after standing and watching the content for a few seconds, Lucy had a black question mark on her face.
"Walter?! What the **** is this ad?"
It doesn't look like an advertisement, more like a documentary?
Sister Emily tugged at her sleeve, "Lucy, why are you standing?"
Lucy pointed to the fast screen, "Look at the big Nasdaq screen, the advertisements on the NASDAQ today seem a bit strange..."
"What's so strange? Isn't there an advertisement every day?" Emily complained, then raised her head and looked over, then she whispered, "Walter? What's this, is it a Chinese documentary? "
"I don't know either, let's see what it is." Lucy's eyes were equally puzzled. Anyway, the advertisement wouldn't be too long, so let's see what the **** is going on.
The picture on the Nasdaq screen is a laboratory scene.
Seven or eight researchers in white coats stared nervously at the experimental bench, as if they were very concerned about the results of the meeting.
Only then, after a voice announced, everyone's faces showed disappointment.
Although there are no subtitles here, Lucy can probably guess it.
"This should be the experiment failed, right?"
"I don't know, it should be." Emily replied uncertainly.
The picture continues. Although it seems to have failed, everyone is not discouraged and continues to experiment.
At this time, the page was still accelerating, and a frantically flipping calendar appeared at the bottom left of the screen. Obviously, time passed quickly, and the experiments of these people have been failing.
until……
There was a burst of cheers.
All the white coats are embracing each other.
A line of subtitles appears on the screen.
[On October 4, 1971, Tu Youyou's research group discovered the artemisia annua extract with 100% antimalarial effect in the 191st low-boiling point experiment. 】
Then, in this laboratory, the picture changed.
Cheers sounded again.
[On November 8, 1972, Tu Youyou's research group successfully isolated artemisinin, the first to obtain artemisinin crystals in the world. 】
The picture kept changing, but the voice-over began to sound.
[In the past 20 years, artemisinin combination therapy has been widely used in malaria-endemic regions around the world. 】
[The price of artemisinin antimalarial drugs that only cost a few dollars per course of treatment is a boon for people in poverty-stricken areas in Africa where epidemic areas are concentrated. 】
[According to incomplete statistics from WHO, artemisinin has saved millions of lives around the world and treats hundreds of millions of patients every year. 】
[Tu Youyou's discovery made the serious disease of malaria no longer a nightmare for mankind, and countless families were spared the threat of illness and death. 】
[She has changed the world. 】
When a unit was over, Lucy thought it was over. She was filled with emotion and was about to discuss it with her little sister. As a result, the picture continued, and the scene turned into a rice field...
Four minutes later.
The video is finally over.
Lucy and Emily turned their necks stiffly and looked at each other.
There are incredible looks in the eyes.
"Walter Fake?!" Lucy was stunned, her mouth opened, "God, this is actually a college admissions promotional video???"
"Buy cakes, Lucy, look at the screen!" Emily was stunned, "I swear, this is the first time I've seen such a personalized promotional video!"
I saw that the big Nasdaq screen was still showing this promotional film repeatedly, and I don’t know how much it cost, but it was already scary.
Lucy stared straight at the screen and couldn't help sighing, "If I were a high school student, maybe I'd already be tempted. This promotional video is really good."
Speaking of this, Lucy remembered the history of Tu Youyou for a moment, and admired her.
"That Professor Tu is really great. I remember that some media praised him, saying that Professor Tu is a modern Marie Curie, even greater than Marie Curie!"
"As a woman, to be able to achieve such an achievement is simply my idol!"
In the first two minutes of the video, there was a historic moment when the six scientists established their achievements, but it was Tu Youyou who had the deepest memory for her.
Emily nodded in agreement, and then said, "Is it just that Guanghua University is very powerful?"
In her impression, she seems to remember that there are two famous universities in that country, one is Peking University, the other is Hua University, is it this Guanghua University?
Just when Emily asked this question, a blond girl in Times Square also asked her friend next to her.
"Wang, the photonic screen and the optical core are actually developed by this Guanghua University?"
"Yes."
"Is this Guanghua University very good in your China?" The blonde girl blinked her eyes, full of curiosity, "How about compared to our NYU?"
"Of course our New York University is better." Wang Qian replied without thinking.
If you want to rank schools in the New York City area, you can roughly look at it like this:
First gear: Colombia.
Tier 2: New York University.
Pot 3: Fordham, Yesiva, SUNY Stony Brook.
Fourth gear: Steven Tech.
Pot 5: City University of New York, Seton Hall, Long Island University, Rutgers-Newark.
Tier 6: Various community colleges.
Compared with schools in the capital and magic capital in China, New York is the economic center of the United States, but in fact there are not many famous schools, only one Columbia University is carrying it, followed by New York University, which has dropped a grade, and the latter schools are estimated to be all. Few people understand.
"But I think Guanghua University is so cool. If I can choose again, I'm willing to give up the offer from New York University and go to Guanghua University!" the blonde girl said madly.
Wang Qian was really embarrassed. She glanced at the face of her friend and best friend, and hesitated.
Do you want to go to Guanghua University?
You are the body of the President Chen of Guanghua University!
pei!
She looks so handsome, and she is so focused and serious when doing experiments, that even she has some admiration for her.
Well, it seems that the other party is single, right?
Cough cough, does that mean you have a chance too?
Thinking about it, Wang Qian blushed, as if thinking of something inappropriate for children.
Fortunately, the blond girl was still immersed in Chen Hao's beauty at the moment, and she didn't notice Wang Qian's reaction beside her.
"Wang, why don't we go back after watching?"
"Well, it's all right."
The two Yan-controlled girls were knocked by Chen Hao's face, and they stood downstairs and looked up at the big Nasdaq screen.
Or because of various reasons, many pedestrians who hurriedly passed by noticed that today's big screen was too wrong, and they were even more shocked after stopping to watch.
This special five-minute school promo keeps looping? ?
Burn a lot of money?
Although the news that Guanghua University contracted the Nasdaq big screen has long been in the newspapers, not too many people have seen it, and it is far less influential than it is today.
Andre and a middle-level manager, Tony, stood in the corner of the square to observe the reactions of passersby.
Tony frowned as he looked at the big screen near his house, especially the exclamations coming from his ears made him even more upset.
"Boss, I don't think we should cooperate with those Chinese people. This will have a serious negative impact on our Nasdaq Media!"
"Negative influence?" Andre sneered, his eyes wandering on Tony's face, he had already seen through his careful thoughts.
He snapped: "Tony, I tell you, don't racist me on my site! Otherwise, I'll definitely get you out of the company!"
Tony has no problem with his ability, but he has some stinky faults. He likes to play white supremacy. He even participated in a protest a while ago, holding the flag near the White House and shouting "take back America".
If you really want to talk about taking back the United States, it should be the Indians who should be called this, right?
Tony reluctantly defended: "Boss, you are also white, we are here for the sake of the country!"
"I'm a capitalist, whoever can bring me money is my honored guest." Andre didn't bother to look at this idiot again.
What is the age, thought it was a hundred years ago?
What yellow, black, white, who is so rich, who is his friend.
Looking at the big screen, Andre's eyes gradually narrowed, and he was quite satisfied with this decision.
After the 21-day package was released, although there was a slight discount, it was still very profitable on the whole, because many early hours were actually not easy to sell, and...
More and more passers-by have noticed the changes on the Nasdaq screen. Many people have been shooting videos with their mobile phones held high. It will take a while to see them on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
A university's admissions promotion film has covered the big Nasdaq screen. What a gimmick, this is also a kind of marketing for them.
It is worth mentioning that the promotional video of Guanghua University is not only shown on their big screen on Nasdaq, but has already entered the global advertising market.
The United Kingdom, France, Japan and other places will be online, plus the quality of this promotional video, it will take less than a day for this promotional video of Guanghua University to become popular all over the world.
At this moment, several figures carrying long guns and short cannons attracted Andre's attention.
That's the face of the media.
As Times Square in New York, USA, there is no shortage of media.
It didn't take long for the major media to report what happened on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square.
Of course, many of them are sarcastic, saying that from China's "upstart" universities, isn't it a waste to spend so much money on an admissions brochure?
The news also spread back to the country.
Beijing time 12:30.
Netease Games, The Paper, The Beijing News and other media followed up and reported, and there are even original videos on Douyin.
"The best admissions promotional video in history! No one! Advertising alone costs tens of millions of yuan!"
"The Nasdaq big screen is once again dominated by China! This time, Guanghua University may set an advertising record!"
"Guanghua University has opened global enrollment, has tens of millions of advertising fees become a big deal?"
"The college entrance examination battle is coming, and Guanghua University has fired the first shot!"
Although it was just after the early morning in China, it did not affect the social animals to get up and work overtime in the middle of the night.
...
Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou.
in an internet cafe.
Fu Rui is a senior in high school. He just took the college entrance examination and went straight to the Internet cafe. After all, he has been suffocated for a while.
It was only in the early morning that I was annoyed by a burst of cell phone ringing.
The caller is the mother-in-law.
In desperation, I had to connect, otherwise it would stop playing.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"What time are you still going home?"
"Didn't you say that you will leave me alone after the college entrance examination?"
"Then do you want us to take care of your food, your accommodation, and your pocket money?"
Fu Rui's hand was stiff when he clicked the mouse madly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This is what I said well before the college entrance examination, I don't care after the test, I can play how I want, and now I regret it?
MD, the words of adults are really unbelievable!
"How can you be like this, your words don't count!" Fu Rui was furious.
"It's not that you are not allowed to play games. Can't you play games during the day and night? Do you have to stay all night?" Mother Fu's tone was very strong, "If you don't come back tonight, don't go home tomorrow. You can do it yourself."
"du~du~"
Fu Rui wanted to say something, but the other party hung up.
ten minutes later.
Fu Rui walked out of the Internet cafe. It was not cold in the middle of the night this season, but he was afraid of the wind.
Not far from home, I arrived home in no time.
After quarreling with his mother, Fu Rui was so angry that he went back to his room.
Even after finishing the college entrance examination, I still have to control myself.
Yawned, picked up the phone and swiped boringly.
Because the college entrance examination has just ended, Douyin has posted many videos of indulgent students after the college entrance examination, and some even went to bars to have fun, which made Fu Ruizhi envious.
His grades are not good, and if his performance is stable, he is probably a public one, but he is still close to the 211 school.
As for which school to choose, there is no rush at the moment. There is still a while before the score is released. Let’s have a good time for half a month.
At this time, however, Fu Rui's sliding fingers suddenly stopped.
"Hey, this is..."
I saw that the location of this video was Times Square in New York, USA, but the content was related to a university in China.
After reading it, Fu Rui laughed and shouted "Guanghua Niubi", noting the prompt below, this topic is already on the Douyin hot list, and without thinking much, he opened the topic and watched a few more related videos.
Finally, I got a video recording the whole process of this promotional film of Guanghua University.
It's just the content of this promotional video. The historical moment in the front is okay, but the main thing is that the back is too shocking.
"Old Zhong, what is the purpose of your study (going to university)?"
Mr. Zhong said slowly: "At that time, our country was developing slowly, and all industries were in short supply of talents. Then, luckily, we seized the opportunity to study in the UK. I felt that the country was so difficult and gave us the opportunity to study abroad, and I never thought that we would not come back. After learning, we have to come back to improve the scientific level of our country, and it was such a simple idea at the time.”
Zhong Lao is a rare older international student. At the age of 43, he went to the UK to start a difficult two-year study abroad career.
At that time, Zhong Lao, who was an international student, only had a living allowance of 6 pounds a month, and a haircut in the UK cost 12 pounds. "You have to cut your hair yourself."
Not even enough money to take the bus, Zhong Lao often runs to the hospital.
Compared with the modern "student students", the environment and conditions are worlds apart.
The past sharing of the four national treasure scientists brought Fu Rui a lot of feelings.
The last minute of the promotional video is the birth of photonic screens, optical cores, and the reverie of the future world.
【We often say that this is the best era】
[Because everyone is free to pursue what they want to do]
【Contribute to this era in your own way】
【Make the world a better place through your own efforts】
【We were born in this era】
【At the same time, we are also changing this era】
[Perhaps, you may also be confused today]
[I can't see my futureI also thought about giving up]
[But stick to your choice and try to change yourself]
【Maybe you will find that you will not only make yourself better】
【Also make this era better】
【Who will define the future world? 】
【It's up to you, how to change】
【Join Guanghua University】
【Let us change the world together! 】
Fu Rui looked excited, thinking about the green years he had wasted in the past, and then thinking about the past of these scientists.
They rely on their efforts and achievements to change the world and make the world a better place.
They can do it, maybe...
"Maybe... I can change the world too!"
