This middle-aged man is none other than the father of the little girl who was scalded by Lin Mai when he helped a group of people to eat lamb in a copper pot at a time-honored restaurant last night.
The man smiled and nodded.
Lin Mai smiled and asked: What a coincidence that it appeared just when I wanted to enter the TV station but couldn't.
Are you the savior who helped me get into the TV station?"
The man smiled slightly: "I accidentally saw him while drinking tea in front of the office window, and ran down."
He stretched out a hand to Lin Mai: "We didn't introduce each other yesterday, let's get to know each other today.
Hello, my name is Wu Dongwen."
Lin Mai shook his hand generously: "My name is Lin Mai."
Wu Dongwen asked: "Why do you want to join the TV station?"
Lin Mai told him the purpose and asked shyly: "Can you introduce me to the leader in charge of advertising business?"
Wu Dongwen looked serious: "I advise you to give up this idea quickly!"
Lin Mai was very puzzled: "Why?"
"The bosses are talking about advertising now. No matter which leader you go to see, you will only hit a wall."
Lin Mai asked in astonishment: "Why do you get so perverted when talking about advertising?"
If it was before the reform and opening up in the 1980s, Lin Mai would have understood if television stations had a negative attitude when it came to advertising.
Because the planned economy was implemented at that time, TV stations were not allowed to advertise privately.
But things are different now. TV stations are allowed to pull advertisements on their own, so how can we talk about the negative aspects of advertisements?
Moreover, CCTV clearly lacks advertisements.
Lin Mai has seen several times that during the intermission of theatrical performances or sports games, the TV screen is often blank because there are no commercials to insert.
Or put an ashtray image on the screen for a quarter of an hour or even longer until the show starts.
If there is such a shortage of advertising, how can we still talk about advertising?
Lin Mai asked Wu Dongwen the questions in his heart.
Wu Dongwen frowned and told Lin Mai the whole story.
It turns out that not long ago, CCTV broadcast an advertisement for Coca-Cola and jeans at the same time as it introduced foreign programs, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among viewers.
Those viewers thought that Coca-Cola was so expensive that ordinary people could not afford it, so there was no need to advertise it.
A people's TV station must serve the broad masses of the people, not a few people, let alone promote a luxurious life.
As for advertising jeans, it is promoting the decadent and degenerate lifestyle of the bourgeoisie.
The Coca-Cola and jeans commercial had to be stopped midway.
Lin Mai was speechless.
No wonder she had seen Coca-Cola advertisements on CCTV before, only once or twice. After all, she rarely watched TV, and she never saw them again.
She also thought that the Coca-Cola advertisement was not effective after being aired, so the Coca-Cola Company did not renew the subscription, so CCTV stopped broadcasting.
I didn’t expect there was such a story in the middle.
Wu Dongwen not only told Lin Mai about the suspension of these two advertisements.
Just a week ago, CCTV aired an advertisement for Citizen watches, and the audience protested to the point of almost stopping the broadcast.
Protesters believe that advertising foreign watches emboldens others and destroys their own prestige.
Wu Dongwen sighed: "Just this morning, passionate young people came to the TV station to protest.
It wasn't until the leader agreed to stop broadcasting Citizen watch advertisements from today that the group of young people left.
You said, the situation is so severe, is the leader still in the mood to talk about advertising business?"
Only then did Lin Mai realize that the protesters she saw at the entrance of CCTV turned out to be protesting against the broadcast of a Citizen watch advertisement.
Patriotism is a good thing, and she is very patriotic.
But the patriotism of those young people is actually a bit paranoid.
Just broadcasting an advertisement will not rise to the level of boosting other people's ambitions and destroying one's own prestige.
If you want to grow your own ambition, don't you just work hard to become stronger? Then won't you destroy the prestige of others?
Wu Dongwen earnestly advised Lin Mai not to do useless work.
Lin Mai focused on the key points.
All the advertisements that were protested by the audience were foreign advertisements, but her Unico advertisement was an advertisement for a local private enterprise. It was of a different nature, so the audience would not have protested.
She tentatively expressed her inner thoughts to Wu Dongwen and asked him to help tell the boss to see how he would react.
Maybe the boss would be more lenient because she is an advertisement for a local private enterprise?
Wu Dongwen's eyes widened and he looked her up and down in disbelief: "Are you a Chinese?"
This time it was Lin Mai's turn to look confused.
She has black hair, black eyes, and except for her glowing white skin, how does she look like a Chinese girl?
Lin Mai smiled bitterly: "Of course I am Chinese, and I am definitely from Jiangcheng."
Wu Dongwen smiled sarcastically: "I heard that your accent sounded like someone from the Treasure Island, and you didn't dress like a mainlander. I thought you were from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, or an overseas Chinese."
Lin Mai was stunned.
She doesn't speak like a Baodao person. Baodao people speak in a coquettish way.
She only spoke in a soft and waxy tone, not coquettishly.
Wu Dongwen mistakenly thought that she was from Baodao, so she must have spoken without a Chinese accent.
Jiangcheng dialect does not have the Erhua sound, and many people speak Mandarin with very few Erhua sounds.
Lin Mai smiled and said, "Brother Wu, would you like to help me explain it to the leader?"
Wu Dongwen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll go tell the leader. I don't dare to guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
Lin Mai gave a half-bow: "Thank you, Brother Wu."
Wu Dongwen turned around and entered the TV station, and came out happily in less than ten minutes, waving to Lin Mai: "The leader wants to see you!"
Lin Mai was about to run towards him immediately, but was stopped by the guard, who asked her to register before entering.
Lin Mai dutifully registered and then followed Wu Dongwen into CCTV.
This was the first time she came to CCTV. It was heavily guarded, and there were at least eight soldiers standing guard with guns in a short corridor.
Wu Dongwen brought Lin Mai to the office of the leader in charge of advertising business and said respectfully: "Director Yin, this is Comrade Xiao Lin."
Director Yin was at work. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Lin Mai.
Even though he had seen many movie stars, he was still stunned the moment he saw Lin Mai.
He smiled slightly, stood up and asked Lin Mai to sit down.
When Wu Dongwen saw this, he silently retired.
As soon as Lin Mai sat down on the sofa, Director Yin poured the tea himself and handed it to her.
Lin Mai stood up immediately, took the cup of tea with fearful hands, and waited for Director Yin to sit down before she followed suit.
Director Yin has a majestic face but is very kind when he speaks.
He smiled and said: "I heard from Director Wu that you are the director of a private garment factory. Is this true?"
Lin Mai smiled and nodded.
Director Yin sighed: "You are so young, you are truly a hero from a young age!"
Lin Mai said modestly: "It's just a small garment factory that has just started. It still needs support from all parties to grow."
After listening to her words, Director Yin couldn't help but look at her twice.
Although this little comrade is young, he is not afraid of hands or feet. He is not at all shy in front of him. He is a child who has seen a lot of things in the world.
She is also good at talking, and the first thing she said was that she hoped her business would be supported.
Although he is asking for help from others, he is not condescending at all.
This child probably has a good background, maybe she is the daughter of a big leader in Jiangcheng.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so generous and calm and speak so skillfully.
So he made some indirect remarks.
Director Yin was so surprised when he learned that the young comrade opposite was only a farmer and had only gone to Jiangcheng last year to make a living. Director Yin was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Are today's young people so strong? People of their generation are really going to be beaten to death on the beach by back wave like Lin Mai.
He sincerely praised Lin Mai for a few words and then got back to the topic.
Tell her that it is not cheap to broadcast advertisements on CCTV.
