If Director Huang hadn't mentioned her parents, Lin Mai would have forgotten about Sun Guixiang and Lin Jianguo, their scumbag father and scumbag mother.
But when she mentioned it, she only remembered it for three seconds before forgetting about this couple.
She blinked her big watery eyes twice: "These clothes and accessories are all free of charge. They are produced in my factory. There is no need to tell your parents."
Everyone was collectively petrified.
After a while, Director Huang came to his senses and asked three times in disbelief: "What did you say? Are these clothes and accessories produced in your factory? Are you a senior cadre in the factory?"
It has only been two years since the reform and opening up, and there are very few private enterprises.
Director Huang had never thought that Lin Mai was running her own factory. He thought she was a senior cadre of a state-owned garment factory, not a small cadre.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such great authority and casually sponsor thousands of dollars worth of clothing and accessories for their crew.
It’s so shocking to become a senior cadre at such a young age!
Lin Mai smiled: "I'm not a big cadre, I..."
She took a deep breath and introduced herself: "I am Lin Mai, the director of Unique Garment Factory.
The clothes I sponsor are all produced by my Unico, Director Huang just accepts them."
Everyone was shocked, this little girl was actually the director of the factory!
Someone couldn't help but asked in confusion: "How old are you, and how did you become the director of the factory?"
Until now, everyone still thinks she works in a state-owned factory.
In state-owned units, cadres must be ranked based on seniority.
A teenage girl can actually become the director of a state-owned garment factory. This is too fantasy. She must have a strong background.
Lin Mai smiled: "Private enterprise has nothing to do with age."
Only then did everyone realize that she was not the director of a state-owned garment factory.
But at such a young age, becoming the director of a private clothing factory is quite impressive.
Everyone looked at Lin Mai with admiration.
Especially those veteran crew members whose children were about the same age as Lin Mai, felt uncomfortable in every possible way.
Why are other people's children so outstanding and my own children so ordinary?
Lin Mai didn't know that she was now someone else's child.
Despite his young age, Director Huang has a good memory.
When he heard the word "Unique", he remembered it immediately.
He looked at Lin Mai with wide eyes and said in surprise: "Are you the director Lin who called me the day before yesterday and wanted Zhang Yu to shoot an advertisement for you?"
Lin Mai was so happy that the topic actually turned to filming an advertisement.
There is no need for her to rack her brains to lead in this direction.
She smiled and said: "Exactly. Director Huang, are you willing to let Miss Zhang shoot an advertisement for me?"
She rejected her outright before, but now she immediately agreed to it. Do you still want this face?
Director Huang deliberately pondered for a while before asking: "Is it difficult to shoot your commercial?
If it's not difficult, I can take pictures for you overnight.
If it’s difficult, then I can only wait until the filming is finished before filming for you, do you think that’s okay?”
Director Huang silently gave himself countless likes in his heart.
These few sentences are so well-spoken that they provide a perfect stepping stone for myself:
There was a reason why I rejected you before, because I was afraid that it would be difficult for you to shoot commercials.
As long as your advertisement is simple, we will shoot it for you right away.
This would repay Lin Mai's kindness for sponsoring their crew.
Lin Mai hurriedly said: "It's not difficult, not difficult at all!"
He immediately told the director about his advertising copy.
In accordance with her request, the director asked the screenwriter to write the script and the scene staff to prepare a simple studio.
An hour later, everything was ready.
Director Huang directed it himself, and the commercial took less than two hours to shoot.
It’s not that Zhang Yu doesn’t know how to shoot commercials, so reshoots were delayed and time was wasted.
On the contrary, she is a very spiritual actor.
Although I have never shot a commercial before, every shot was shot in one shot.
Mainly changing clothes and various accessories takes some time.
After filming the commercial, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.
Lin Mai treated everyone to a sumptuous supper before going back to the room to sleep.
Not long after he lay down, he suddenly remembered that he had not informed Fang Zhuoran that he was safe.
I quickly sat up from the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside and started to dial.
But as soon as her fingers dialed a number, she stopped.
It's already midnight, will calling Fang Zhuoran affect his sleep?
Lin Mai struggled for a while and finally dialed Fang Zhuoran's number.
She believed that Fang Zhuoran would not be able to sleep peacefully without receiving her call.
Sure enough, the phone only rang once and was answered.
Fang Zhuoran's voice sounded as pleasant as a midnight radio host on the phone.
The two chatted for a few words
The call ended.
It was so late, and neither of them wanted to let the other stay up late.
While having supper last night, Lin Mai asked Director Huang what time the crew would go out for filming tomorrow.
Director Huang said, nine o'clock.
The next morning, Lin Mai got up at seven o'clock and treated the crew to a hearty breakfast.
Because they had to film a movie, everyone ate very quickly, and breakfast was over in less than half an hour.
Lin Mai took out some makeup and skin care products and gave them to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu happily accepted it and said a little shyly: "I don't have a gift to give you back."
Celebrities at this time are so naive, they still want to reciprocate with courtesy.
Lin Mai smiled and said: "If Miss Zhang can take a photo with me, that would be the best gift."
She is not star-chasing, she just said that because she didn't want Zhang Yu to feel that she owed her a favor.
Zhang Yu was very happy and invited a photographer from the crew to take many photos of the two of them.
Director Huang handed a videotape to Lin Mai and told her that the videotape was an advertisement for her.
Lin Mai was surprised and said: "It's finished so quickly?"
Director Huang wrote lightly: "In terms of post-production editing and processing, how much effort will it take? It can be completed in an extra hour of work."
Lin Madang impromptuly rushed to the editing room and played the videotape again.
After all, it is an advertisement shot by professionals, just like a blockbuster, beautiful and high-end.
In just three minutes of commercial, Zhang Yu changed into more than a dozen sets of clothes and different accessories.
Every outfit looks beautiful on her, arousing people's desire to buy.
The matching of each piece of jewelry has the finishing touch.
At the end of the advertisement, Unico's logo slowly emerged from a bunch of pink clouds.
Then, the voiceover sounded Unico's slogan: "Unico clothing, you are fashionable, you deserve it."
Lin Mai was very satisfied and thanked Huang Zheng and asked how much the advertising fee would be.
Director Huang said very straightforwardly: "As long as you are satisfied, thank you is not necessary. You have helped us a lot.
As for advertising fees, there’s no need to worry about it. It’s just a matter of effort, so don’t worry about it.”
Lin Mai was so excited that he saved a lot of advertising fees so easily?!
It’s unbelievable!
Director Huang continued: "I will send someone to deliver the clothes and accessories you sponsored directly to your factory after the filming is finished."
Lin Mai waved his hand: "No need to go to so much trouble, just give all those clothes and accessories to Miss Zhang."
In fact, Lin Mai had said this before, but no one took it seriously, including Zhang Yu.
After all, those clothes and accessories are worth thousands of dollars in total.
Who would have thought that Lin Mai was so wealthy and would easily give away valuable clothing and accessories.
Zhang Yu once again felt so fantasy.
Because she was a little excited, she stuttered a little: "I...what can I do for you?"
Lin Mai smiled and said: "If Miss Zhang wants to do something for me, just tell the director.
Let’s see if he can add at the end of the film “The costumes for this film were provided by Unico Clothing Co., Ltd.
It’s enough if the accessories for this film are provided by Lily Jewelry.”
Director Huang on the side gave her an OK gesture: "No problem."
Lin Mai said thank you again and again.
This time it was not only a verbal thank you, but also a sponsorship of 10,000 yuan, which shocked Director Huang.
No film crew had ever received sponsorship money before, but Lin Mai's move was the first of its kind.
Now it was Director Huang's turn to keep saying thank you.
With this 10,000 yuan, the crew's funds will no longer be so tight, and the films they can produce will be more sophisticated.
Director Huang was very happy to receive the sponsorship money, and Lin Mai was even happier.
She had already made preparations before she came, planning to pay 30,000 yuan for Zhang Yu to shoot an advertisement.
Although there are advertisements in mainland China in this era, there are no advertisements endorsed by local celebrities.
Even if the mainland's economy is backward, if you hire celebrities to shoot advertisements, you still have to pay 30,000 yuan in advertising fees.
Unexpectedly, Director Huang waved his hand and filmed a commercial for her for free. She would not be at ease if she did not pay the sponsorship fee of 10,000 yuan.
