My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 482 is all top-tier.

Qin Zhiming is the owner of a film company.

After Wei Dong outlined the general plot for him, he was bound to get excited and want to film it in the style of a movie.

The cost for him to organize the gathering is definitely much lower.

So a whole bunch of photographers, directors, and makeup artists flew to Jiangzhou with Chow Yun-fat, which must have cost a fortune.

Therefore, the specific amount of various marketing expenses is ultimately determined by the management (or the executives).

Upon hearing the news, the city sent secretaries to inquire whether it was necessary to do this.

Wei Dong was told that the money came from the Hong Kong parent company, so there was no need for the funds to be transferred out of the mainland. The joint venture company would simply deduct the amount domestically, which is a standard business practice.

So when we were filming in various parts of the city, it was absolutely packed with people!
Because instead of looking for a courtyard where you can close the door, we went to the Shijiuti street scene, which has a distinctive mountain town feel, and even went to the bustling pier to take pictures of the grand scene.

In an era when information was so underdeveloped, the whole city actually knew that "Xu Wenqiang" had come to Jiangzhou!
Actually, we spent a whole day filming at places like the pier and the Nineteen Steps.

For many days afterward, people continued to flock to the area hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebrity, and the star-chasing craze reached its peak from that moment on.

My family members are even more obsessed with celebrities.

When Chow Yun-fat visited the brand sponsor, he blocked the road in the adjacent bustling street near the cosmetics factory!
The entire cosmetics factory was so eager that they practically wanted to pay for a banner to welcome Chow Yun-fat for a visit...

It even made them stand out among the surrounding factories.

When they arrived at the new factory area, tens of thousands of workers and their families from the construction team crowded in. Even the computer engineers who usually buried themselves in research and development were spreading the word and calling on their families to join in the fun.

Shen Laosan was the most bizarre.

"Shanghai Beach" is about the fighting and killing in the underworld of the Green Gang and the Red Gang. I'm totally obsessed with it.

Wei Dong felt that she was the reactionary who most wanted to return to that era.

Taking her younger siblings to follow celebrities.

But when he discovered that the actor had absolutely no connection to the martial arts world, his enthusiasm quickly faded, and Mao scoffed before returning to the zoo.

Dong Xueqing is more into movies and only so-so about TV dramas, but she still reluctantly agreed to take a solo photo with Wei Dong at his urging.

Highland girls who have shaved their heads shouldn't miss this either.

But the one who showed off the most was Xiaodie.

Because Wei Dong, along with a bunch of infatuated girls, treated Chow Yun-fat and the film crew to dinner on the ridge.

During the conversation, he only suggested that Chow Yun-fat learn Mandarin well.

"We strive to produce the best advertisements every year to promote to audiences nationwide, and to make your image represent the best domestic brands. So we hope to make progress together over the next thirty years, and that you can also create more popular images in mainland China."

The lack of the ostentatious display of a business banquet, with guests constantly holding children, actually created a surprisingly warm and intimate atmosphere.

The 30-year-old Chow Yun-fat was even more approachable, bending down to play with the child, and Dong Xueqing quickly took many photos.

At this time, Hong Kong stars generally lacked Mandarin speaking skills, but they could listen attentively to the translator: "Can the mainland also produce a lot of films and TV dramas?"

Let Wei Dong explain: "This year, in the huge market of one billion people in mainland China, two TV series are the most popular. One is your 'Shanghai Beach,' and the other is a historical drama that I produced. This is..."

As he spoke, he dipped his chopsticks in the soup and drew a rooster on the table: "Look, in 'Huo Yuanjia,' they sing that after a hundred years of slumber, the Chinese people are gradually waking up. The mainland is now fully awake. When it first wakes up, it will definitely yawn and be drowsy for a while, but this momentum is unstoppable. Hong Kong is only so big, with six or seven million people. The mainland has more than three thousand counties and cities, and a billion people. This market is huge and very profitable. The bigwigs in Hong Kong have all set their sights on it and are scrambling to acquire land. You can also cooperate with the mainland to make more films."

Qin Yuye went on to say, "As you saw during today's visit, the factory has only been under construction for a year and a half, and my jeans factory's annual output value has already exceeded 100 million yuan. This market is huge, so I will stay in mainland China to develop in the future. Lawson is also planning to move his music video business here."

Chow Yun-fat's appearance, which remained impressive even in Hollywood, was still striking. Every gesture he made exuded elegance and handsomeness, and this was the peak of his good looks, before he developed the charisma that he later cultivated.

Just handsome: "I wonder if I could watch the TV series produced by Mr. Rang?"

Lam and Droma were helping to serve the dishes when they almost knocked them over. Wei Dong quickly told them to sit down and eat and watch at the same time so as not to waste the delicious food.

"Of course, no problem. If you need support or assistance when you film movies or TV series in mainland China, just ask. The endorsement agreement means we are family. We will not exploit you for money. We only hope that your future acting career will go better and better, and of course, we will also continuously improve our brand image."

Chow Yun-fat, in the later decades of his career in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, was considered a rather unconventional and clear-headed individual.

Unlike some crew members who felt superior upon arriving in mainland China, this person was very focused on observing the stay-at-home dad with his child.

It's clear that none of the women are mothers.

Hong Tiancheng was speechless; he had not yet been promoted to a big boss who could stand on his own.

He could only stand by like a lackey and watch Wei Dong chat with the Hong Kong stars, admiring him immensely and filled with confidence in the future of the product.

They immediately increased overall production and inventory.

It's already early December.

Wu Shengyun's performance was more confident than his. He treated even the biggest stars as business boosters, giving orders with neither arrogance nor servility, just like a rehearsal for the sales conference at the end of the month.

As a result, Chow Yun-fat took a VHS tape of the TV series "Liu Weixin" and watched it overnight with the production crew's equipment. Sure enough, he could tell that the show was indeed related to Rang Weidong.

So he took the videotape with him when he returned to Hong Kong.

It took about ten days. Capitalists always have contracts for their work, and by mid-December, the advertisement had already been sent to Beijing TV for review.

Yu Xiaoqiu called excitedly to report: "Absolutely no problem, the station approved it on the first try, fantastic!"

Wei Dong instructed them to wait a few more days, because the factory's daily output had already reached 50,000 bottles, and hundreds of thousands of bottles had been distributed in all directions in recent days.

In fact, it's already sold out in some places. There are no competitors!

Due to limitations in molds and technology, it couldn't be made into the one-piece flip-top extrusion style like later versions of Pantene. Instead, it was a standard cylindrical bottle, with a white body that was slightly taller and narrower than a soda can, topped with a black screw cap.

The labels were made by professional advertising designers in Hong Kong, and the four-color printing of the self-adhesive backing was done by their own high-end printing factory.

This part of the work is all transported to the new factory to be completed.

The brand O'Nia is the product name for a century of hair care, but the label shows "100 Years of Hair Care," with the Arabic numeral 100 being particularly large, taking up half of the label space.

It is very distinctive and unforgettable.

It cleverly evokes a sense of perfection in people's minds.

Think about it, from the bottle itself to the label and logo, there are already so many design meanings involved. There is no shampoo product on the market that can match it.

This is already a unique business.

As a result, the product itself, in addition to shampooing, is also rich in SOD elements that nourish the hair.

The question is whether it sells well.

Once sales personnel in various regions received the goods, they immediately began promoting them to universities, enterprises, and institutions, and sales have been steadily increasing.

On December 20th, the "Centennial Runfa" advertisement officially aired on TVB.

This can be said to be the perfect embodiment of the "product, advertising, and sales" model that Wei Dong had been envisioning.

Top-of-the-line version.

The product is manufactured on an imported French production line, and its quality is impeccable in all aspects. The addition of SOD is more of a marketing tactic to increase its selling points.

Sales have now been largely established across all provinces nationwide, marking a significant step forward in unleashing overall competitive strength.

Finally, there's the advertisement led by Chow Yun-fat, with top-notch Hong Kong style in everything from filming and editing to the soundtrack.

The opening scene shows Chow Yun-fat, dressed in an old Zhongshan suit and sporting a buzz cut typical of mainland intellectuals, scooping water to wash the waist-length hair of Qin Yuye, who is standing by a house on the Shijiu Ti roadside.

Damn, this girl is only eighteen years old, yet she can portray the full sense of a married woman, smiling happily and charmingly with her head turned to the side.

The weathered feel of this mountain city and foggy city could not diminish her fleeting beauty.

Seriously, even Chow Yun-fat's aura is only on par with hers at this moment.

It was the kind of neighborhood where neighbors hung clothes out to dry everywhere, and the streets and alleys were dilapidated yet bustling with the lively atmosphere of everyday life.

This single shot alone has left audiences across the country in awe!

I thought Chow Yun-fat was going to act in another mainland story after "Shanghai Beach".

It immediately boosted the screen's attention to the maximum.

Everyone watching TV will be drawn to this scene without even realizing it's an advertisement.

The background music is warm and soothing.

ten seconds.

The scene then shifts to Jiangzhou Wharf, where Chow Yun-fat, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and carrying luggage, keeps looking around...

In fact, many people realized at this point that this scene is similar to the scene in "Liu Weixin" where the martyr sets off from his hometown to go east to study and seek a way to save the country, standing on a sailboat and looking back.

However, this has many meanings: it could mean a business trip, heading south, or job hunting; it can be interpreted in many ways.

But his deep affection and reluctance to part with his wife were vividly portrayed.

This scene also utilizes advanced shooting techniques from Hong Kong, blurring the surrounding people to highlight Brother Fa Chui's look.

The distant music sounded melancholic and sorrowful.

ten seconds.

The final scene shifts to Chow Yun-fat, dressed in a stylish trench coat and sporting a cool slicked-back hairstyle, walking back to the 19th Steps.

As a result, he ran into the female protagonist carrying a basin at the corner of the public bathhouse.

These days, when people take a bath, they just put their clothes and toiletries in a basin, and that's when a bottle of "Bai Nian Run Fa" (a hair care product) came into being.

But even at this moment, the acting skills of the two actors could not be suppressed.

On Qin Yuye's fair face, the corners of her eyes visibly began to turn red and glisten, but her facial expression was strained as she tried her best to control her emotions.

But the camera switches to shooting behind her shoulder, showing a blurry silhouette of her long hair, and a close-up of Chow Yun-fat's expression—a smile.

His smile is simply the pinnacle of male stars' smiles in this era.

Her mature charm practically leaps off the screen.

A couple, from their first meeting to their eventual separation by fate, ultimately transformed their longing and sorrow into a knowing smile upon their reunion.

This is bound to sell out!
