CH 3

Early the next morning, Luo Qintian was blocked in front of the Luo mansion.

He was waiting at the gate for his driver to bring the car over, and to his surprise, a man suddenly appeared from the bush beside him.

The person blocking him was a good looking young man, about 1.82 tall, with a white shirt and black trousers. His curly hair was a bit messy and his black shoes were covered with a thin layer of dust, so it seemed that he had been waiting for some time.

The young man was carrying a deflated transparent briefcase tightly in his hand. From the outside, you could see only two pairs of black sunglasses and a CD box inside. His chin was slightly raised as he stared with a look of both expectation and excitement, obviously looking a little unkempt but also like an energetic young leopard, which made people feel good for no reason.

It was naturally Bai Lixin, who was blocking someone, as the system had resumed its normal operation yesterday afternoon.

As soon as it came out of sleep mode, Bai Lixin immediately had S419M lock on to Luo Qintian’s geographical location, which allowed him to block him. Otherwise, for someone like Luo Qintian, who had more than a dozen flats, where would he have gone to block people?

When he saw that the two bodyguards beside Luo Qintian were about to come forward to take him, Bai Lixin consciously raised his hands above his head to show that he was harmless, “Mr. Luo, I am Lu Xuefei, the president of Lu’s entertainment company, and I have an urgent matter to talk to you about the TV advertising contract that my company has signed with your company.”

As Luo Qintian looked Bai Lixin up and down, Bai Lixin was also looking at Luo Qintian. Luo Qintian was worthy of being the overlord of a big family. Being able to sit firmly at the helm of the Luo clan when he was less than thirty showed he really did have the strength and the courage for it.

Luo Qintian was 1.95 metres tall and had a sharp, handsome and unpretentious face. He exuded a chilly domineering aura around him. His eyes were cold and steely, as if all lies could not escape them.

Luo Qintian looked at Bai Lixin a second longer, and when he saw the driver pulling the car over, he suddenly said, “Get in.”

Bai Lixin faintly froze, “What?”

Luo Qintian raised his eyebrows and said with some impatience, “It’s eight o’clock, I have a meeting at 8:30. I don’t have time to sit out and listen to you. Either get in the car or come back another day. ” He opened the car door and sat in the back.

How could the duck that was in the mouth just fly away?

Seeing Luo Qintian get into the car, Bai Lixin also hurriedly ran to the other side and opened the door to sit in the car.

“Mr. Luo, I’m really sorry for disturbing you in such a hasty manner under such circumstances. I will definitely apologize some other time. Your company signed a TV commercial contract with Lu’s Entertainment not long ago, and it was mentioned in the contract that Wang Sisi would play the female lead. However, as fate would have it, our company terminated the contract with Wang Sisi shortly afterwards. In that case, your company is able to file a breach of contract lawsuit against my company and claim damages for breach of contract. ”

“It’s not that I don’t want to pay damages for breach of contract, but please watch these videos first before making a decision. If you still insist on doing so by then, then I have nothing to say. ” With these words, Bai Lixin pulled out the CD box from the briefcase he was carrying and held it in front of Luo Qintian with both hands.

Looking at the disc that was offered like a treasure, Luo Qintian couldn’t help but feel a little amused. He raised his eyebrows slightly and took the disc out of the box and put it into the DVD player connected to the car TV in the back.

Luo Qintian had a habit of watching the news in the car, so the car TV set installed was the best in terms of performance and resolution, and the presentation of the picture was somewhat affected, but never by much.

Two simple video titles appeared on the TV screen, one said “one” and the other had “two”.

Luo Qintian raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Lixin on his side. Bai Lixin scratched the side of his nose and laughed, “The title is not important; what matters is the content.”

With that, he pressed the remote control and clicked on the first video.

Immediately afterwards, the silent video leapt into action, instantly hitting all of Luo Qintian’s visual cells.

In the middle of the ocean, there was a small ship, and on it were two lovers clinging to each other in diving suits. After hugging for a while, they both plunged into the sea.

The moment they jumped into the sea, Luo Qintian’s eyes lit up with them. The blue and clear water, the dappled sunlight, and the colourful underwater world all made a huge impact on his vision through the display. His eyes widened as he followed the couple closely, and he saw them swim past schools of colourful tropical fish and through meandering, twisting schools of kelp. It all looked so real.

He even saw a huge whale swim past them, as if it were swimming past him. When the whale flipped over as it swam by, he could even feel the obvious fluctuations of the surrounding water. After the whale had gone, the couple were confronted by a terrifying great white shark!

The couple were in a panic. They turned and fled in haste, but in front of the great white shark, any swimming would have been useless. Just as the shark catches up with them, the scene changes to a cozy room with the couple wearing black glasses on their faces, snuggled together with terrified expressions, pointing at the great white shark on the TV that frightened their hearts out as if it were really coming for them.

The video was only a minute long, and there was no sound throughout, only the powerful impact of the images. But even though there was no sound, Luo Qintian could still relate to it, as he had just watched the whole thing from the beginning to the end.

Seeing Luo Qiantan’s reaction, Bai Lixin’s heart was clear. He coughed twice and said, “Your company can actually cancel the contract with us and then re-contract Wang Sisi to shoot the TV commercial, but I feel that since you are shooting, you should shoot the best. This video was made with the most advanced post-production in the world, something you won’t find in any other company. ”

“Wang Sisi’s acting skills are certainly outstanding, but I think that your company’s products are sold mainly for their timeliness and practicality, and nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, even the most advanced electronic products will be obsolete in a few years.”

“She can use emotion to get this TV from your company to break into the public eye, but what people ultimately look for when they buy it is practicality. I’ve seen Wang Sisi’s ad suggestion, and the raw film is very touching, but it’s so touching that it’s not conducive to selling. The first thing that comes to a buyer’s mind when they see your TV brand is the melancholic ad. Who would spend all day looking at a television set that evokes a sorrowful memory?”

“I have researched your TV, and apart from having the same performance as a regular TV, your TV also has a special feature that supports 3D viewing mode. Nowadays, 3D movies around the world are just starting to take off. Since that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to use it as an advertisement like the video shown just now, to get closer to the theme? ”

Luo Qintian held his arms over his chest and crossed his legs, his eyes glancing at Bai Lixin, “What do you mean?”

“I hope you will consider amending the contract to still work with us, just changing the content of the advertisement. As compensation, I will also make a trial 3D video tailored to your company’s TV set. Moreover, our company intends to launch its own 3D film at a later stage, so if you agree to work with me, we can even promote and publicize it together with your TV at that time, which is not only mutual help but a win-win situation. ”

Luo Qintian was a born businessman, and as soon as he saw Bai Lixin’s video, he already smelled the business opportunity.

Looking at the global film market today, Hollywood and other places have already started experimenting with 3D film promotion and publicity. However, China was slow with the times, and he could not master 3D technology without the resources or talents. Which is why he has been hesitant to try out 3D TV sets in China.

Bai Lixin added, “This is only one of the videos on the CD, the other video is the real 3D video. Of course, I have also prepared two pairs of glasses, and this is for you. ” Bai Lixin said, taking out two pairs of 3D glasses from the briefcase he carried with him, handing one pair to Luo Qintian and putting on the other one. After putting them on, Bai Lixin then clicked on the video button and opened the second video.

The moment the video played, Luo Qiantan felt as if he was in a sea of flowers, everything was so real and three-dimensional.

This video was also silent, but Luo Qiantan felt that this video was more realistic and shocking than the 3D videos he had seen abroad with sound effects. He was watching the video on a 10-inch car TV, but if he had used a normal big screen, the effect would have been unimaginable.

It was as if endless exotic flowers and plants were actually blooming around him, glowing blue under the moonlight, as if he could smell them through the screen. The moon was just above his head, and he felt he could reach it with the slightest stretch of his hand.

Countless colourful butterflies fluttered from afar, some floating on top of the flowers, some swimming around mischievously, and a few restlessly, even flying towards him, looking like they were about to fly into his face!

He knew they were fake, but Luo Qingtian couldn’t help but step back to avoid these restless butterflies.

When Luo Qintian saw the butterflies landing on the flowers, he wanted to smell the fragrance of the flowers, but just as he was thinking that, the image suddenly stopped abruptly and went back to black.

Luo Qintian took off his glasses and let out a breath of relief. He was certain that even Hollywood, the most advanced film industry, could not present such a perfect 3D effect.

Bai Lixin watched Luo Qintian’s expression carefully and was already confident. He had created this video using the technology of the future. In the future, with the development of technology, 3D, 4D, and even holographic projections would be images that could be seen everywhere in everyday life. But now the video reader could not read the future video format, so he transcoded the video to DVD format to facilitate the presentation to Luo Qintian.

“Mr. Luo, do you think you can accept the proposal I just made?”

Luo Qintian thought for a moment, “Okay, I will amend the contract this afternoon and re-sign it tomorrow. Also, you mentioned earlier that you were planning to make a 3D movie. Have you found a partner yet? ”

Bai Lixin smiled awkwardly and showed an embarrassed expression, “I’m not afraid of your jokes. Our company, Lu’s Entertainment, originally planned to shoot a film about family love, and the main character was already set to be Wang Sisi. But because of my unilateral termination of the contract, everything had to be overturned and started all over again. If I hadn’t been desperate, I wouldn’t have brought out my secret weapon to negotiate with you. Originally, I was planning to perfect this 3D movie before releasing it next year, and by then, I would have directly crushed all the other film and television companies and entered Hollywood in one go.”

Wang Sisi was more or less a contracted actress for his TV brand, so Luo Qintian had also heard something about Lu’s Entertainment Company, and he had no doubt about this. After a while, he asked, “I’m curious, Wang Sisi was promoted by you guys. How come you decided to just have her contract terminated? ”

“Because I liked Xu Haoran.” Bai Lixin didn’t say much, and only returned this sentence. He then lowered his eyelashes and covered his eyes.

Luo Qiantan first froze, then looked at Bai Lixin with flickering eyes.

He was secretly in love with Xu Haoran, so he was jealous of Wang Sisi, which was why he drove her away. But unexpectedly, once Wang Sisi had left, Xu Haoran also decided to leave. Wang Sisi’s contract was terminated by Lu’s Entertainment on their own initiative, so she did not need to pay for the breach of contract. But Xu Haoran and his group decided to terminate their contracts on their own, and were required to fulfill their final responsibility by paying the liquidation damages. But Lu Xuefei chose to put his company at risk of bankruptcy rather than let Xu Haoran pay for the breach of contract.

He really didn’t know whether it was better to call him affectionate or so stupid that he was cute.

“Since you don’t have a partner yet, then I hope to work with your company when the time comes,” Luo Qintian said with a nod, not pursuing the matter further.

Hearing Luo Qintian’s words, Bai Lixin immediately revealed an excited expression as he heavily nodded, “Mr. Luo has always been my idol, and it has always been my lifelong expectation to work with Mr. Luo.”

Bai Lixin smiled brightly. His crystal clear black eyes were like two small suns, shining so brightly that Luo Qintian felt he would be blinded.

He ducked his head to hide the abnormality in his eyes and reached down to take the disc out of the DVD player and carefully put it into the case before handing it back to Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin hurriedly pushed it back with both hands and said sincerely, “I still have a copy, so I’ll give you this disc. I hope you can watch it again on the big screen when you get back. It will definitely be a different experience.”

Luo Qintian didn’t push back either. He did love this video a bit, and since Bai Lixin had said so, he took it back straight away.

They were still a few minutes’ away from the office, and neither of them spoke again after talking business. Luo Qintian leaned against the backrest and sized up Bai Lixin.

The car slowly drove into the headquarters of the Luo Group, Luo Qintian said to the driver before getting off, “Send Mr. Lu back.”

He then stepped out of the car and wad led a group of people to the conference hall.

At the end of the meeting, Luo Qiantan was still reflecting on the magnificent scene he had seen this morning.

He had been at the helm of the Luo Group for many years and had been involved in all walks of life. The Vision TV was a television set that they had developed on their own, but it was only a small enterprise under the Luo Group with the intention of testing the waters. But when he saw the two videos today, he suddenly changed his mind.

There were three videos lying quietly on the laptop desktop. The first two were the two videos Lu Xuefei had played for him this morning, and the third was the one he had just asked his secretary for, the one of Wang Sisi’s audition.

Clicking on the third video, Luo Qintian watched on.

But as he watched, he frowned.

Emotion in an ad was certainly novel, but this was not the effect he wanted.

His company’s television set was not created for the sake of remembering others, but to give a better visual effect. If this ad was put out, it might rise to the top of public opinion for a short time, but the beneficiaries would certainly not be them. In time, the first things that come to mind when talking about their television set will be the deceased grandfather and the sad and dutiful granddaughter.

Then the audience for the TV set will change from the middle-aged and young generations he had hoped for to the older generation, and sales will definitely decline significantly. And selling too much emotion would be counterproductive and offensive.

In this way, Wang Sisi’s advertisement was not even a tenth in comparison to the one Lu Xuefei showed him.
