Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 24 Heinz Advertising
  Badman and Raymond were still struggling with the two record companies, while Tang De was already sitting in Apollyon's Lion Advertising Agency, listening to the latest news from Apollyon with Jimmy and Maroni.

"We are very lucky!" Apollyon was lying on the sofa, letting his round belly lean on the armrest: "Guys, that tricky old man at Domino's is very satisfied with our advertisement. Now the advertisement proposed by Tang De has been placed all over the United States. Creative billboard!”

"Thank God!" Maroni is the manager of this advertising company and a friend of Apollyon. He is usually responsible for some basic affairs and advertising creative proposals.

He was wearing a dark gray suit and a pink tie. His hair was light yellow instead of blond. He looked very coquettish in Tang De.

Jimmy clapped along in celebration.

Dudley was not among them, because since the last time he had a party, he had been haunted by the girl whose size he had measured on the set, and she would not let go. She even dragged him to meet his parents.

After hearing the sad news, both Apollyon and Jimmy expressed their condolences. Having entered the graveyard of marriage so early, they can only say not to attack women at will.

Therefore, the position of photographer is now taken by Tang De, while Jimmy is responsible for lighting and art, which is exactly what he wants.

After everyone was happy, Tang De asked: "So the sales should be very explosive now."

"Of course!" Apollyon's eyes widened and he opened his hands: "I heard that Domino's takeout business is expanding to Glacier Bay, Alaska. I hope the clerks will not be frozen during delivery."

What Apollyon is talking about is Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, which is full of large expanses of ocean wilderness, dominated by tall coastal mountains, and is an inaccessible place.

"Maybe they can ride seals to deliver food! Hahaha." Maroney's hearty laughter echoed in the conference room, causing everyone else to laugh too.

"So after the old man Monaghan's advertisement was successful, a new company immediately offered us an olive branch. Let's see what this is?" Apollyon said, picking up a red ketchup bottle made of glass from the table. .

"So familiar. Isn't this Heinz ketchup?" Jimmy pointed out, "I often buy it at home."

"My family is the same." Apollyon nodded: "This is a national brand, well-known to every household."

"Then why did they come to us?" Although Lion Advertising is emerging in Domino's, compared to Heinz Group's products, there should be no shortage of advertising companies.

Maroney explained for him: "That's right, it's not just us, but we need to bid. Our family and five or six other advertising companies all need to put forward their own plans and go to their company to make proposals. If passed... "

He snapped his fingers and curled the corners of his mouth to both sides: "Then we can win this ad, and even the subsequent ads are no problem!"

"sounds good."

"Of course it's good! Especially the advertising fees!" Maroney immediately beamed when he talked about the money: "If we can get it, then the continuous advertising fees will keep us all fed!"

"Wow!" Jimmy also became excited.

Tang De also raised his eyebrows. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to get rid of poverty. Even if the MV made more money, he would not have the chance to profit from it.

On the contrary, it is advertising. As the creative planner and photographer of the Lion advertising, he can definitely get more money.

Just when he thought of this, Apollyon also looked at Tang De and said: "Tang De, in fact, I hope you can provide creative ideas for this Heinz advertisement."

"What do you mean?" Tang De straightened his back.

Maroney added: "To put it simply, I hope you will be one of the advertising planners for this time."

"One?" "Yes, I am also a planner." Maroni smiled and crossed his legs: "I was busy communicating with customers before, otherwise I should be responsible for the Domino's project."

"Okay, I understand, but how to calculate the salary?" Tang De heard his subtext. If he was here, this project would not be his turn.

"In terms of salary, after tax on the advertising fees for this project, you can get 5% after the filming costs are settled, and Jimmy can get 3%. How about that?"

Maroni made the proposal he had prepared, but Tang De shook his head and said nothing.

"Too little!" Jimmy yelled: "Eight percent between the two of us. Hey, that's not what Domino's ads say."

Apollyon also said with some embarrassment: "Don't be so harsh, Maroni, we are all friends and brothers."

"Okay, okay." Maroni took a few steps back: "But Apollyon, the company can't just have friends and brothers. As a manager, I have to be responsible for the entire company. So ten percent, no more, the company must run. , there are still a lot of costs, you know it clearly."

Apollyon looked at the two people and comforted: "Maroni is right, Jimmy, this is already the best condition."

"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Jimmy originally wanted to argue, but Tang De directly agreed to the share and picked up the wine glass next to him.

"Wish us a happy cooperation!" Others also raised their glasses in celebration, except Jimmy who was a little sulky.

After walking out of the Lion Advertising Agency and sitting back in the car, Jimmy, who was driving, couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why do I feel something is wrong with you?"

"what?"

"You're not telling the truth! This isn't like you, brother! They're going too far!" Jimmy noticed something hidden in Tang De's expression.

Tang De smiled and said: "You are right, it is indeed too much to bully others, but it does not affect our cooperation this time, right?"

"This time? What do you mean? Isn't there a next time?" Jimmy is indeed a good brother of Tang De. He can guess Tang De's thoughts just from his expressions and tone of voice.

"It's very simple, Jimmy. Listen to what they say, the company can't just have brothers, the best conditions. In fact, without me, the Domino's project would not be able to satisfy Monaghan, let alone the olive branch of Heinz." Tang De The tone gradually became heavier: "But they only position us as advertising planners and lighting masters. Ten percent, two people, what a joke!"

"Yes, that's right! So we have to strive for more!" Although Jimmy has a good relationship with Apollyon, they are all about money. He doesn't know why Tang De agreed so hastily.

"No, Jimmy, so why don't we go out and do it on our own?" Tang De stretched out his hands: "You, and I, we open our own advertising company, and all the shares are in our own hands. Isn't it much better than working for others?"

Jimmy looked at him in surprise: "Yeah, that's right, so that's what you think."

"Yes, that's why, so we need connections, Jimmy, we need a ladder. And the Heinz project is the best ladder. We have to hold it in our own hands."

"What about Apollyon?"

"Don't worry, I know what you are thinking..." Tang De tapped his fingers on his knee: "He is a good big brother, and I hope it ends with dignity."
