Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

The next day, Ge Qiao arrived at the company half an hour early, got all the information about the new album of red-haired Annie from the assistant lady, sat down and began to formulate a new publicity plan.

Inspired by director Zhu Zan last night, he finally figured out how to win this media battle with the audience and passers-by.

When Ge Qiao returned to the apartment last night, at a little after 11:30 in the evening, the phone was exhausted and turned off automatically.His face was full of tiredness and impatience, and there was no third emotion other than that. Without saying a word, he slouched into the building with his slippers on, and quietly threw himself into the corner of the sofa, shrinking In a ball, eyes closed and no longer move.

Zhu Zan was sitting on the fixed seat of his sofa, his eyes following Ge Qiao around.

Originally, Zhu Zan was still a little angry at Ge Qiao's sudden irritability during the day, but seeing Ge Qiao's current state, his worry instantly wiped out all dissatisfaction.

In his memory, Ge Qiao never seems to be in such a state as he is today. He is always in control of everything. As long as it is something that he starts, there is nothing wrong with it. This makes him always carry That intimidating aura of pride.In fact, this is also what Zhu Zan, who is a little fan, admires Ge Qiao the most.

But today, in this intimidating pride, there is obviously boredom and boredom.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Zan decided to ignore the past and asked.

"..." Ge Qiao opened a slit slightly, barely seeing a vague silhouette in front of him, his body shrank again, trying to find a more comfortable posture, his voice was very soft, like It was extremely weak, "You haven't slept yet..."

Zhu Zan didn't know why Ge Qiao suddenly became like this, he just felt sorry for his big brother Qiao all of a sudden, and wanted to find an interesting topic to talk about so that he could change his mood.

"Well, I'm not sleepy. I just woke up and my head still hurts. Professor Shen took Hu Zhinan out for an academic seminar. I left this afternoon. I didn't have time to tell you. Let me tell you... Hey, I was wondering Why did they go together? It’s obviously not the relationship between the tutor and the student..." He carefully observed the expression changes on Ge Qiao's face through the faint night light and the flickering light of the TV screen, and there was no fluctuation, so He decided to change the subject.

"I went out to eat with Zhong Mingcan today, and he sent me back. You know, I get drunk easily after drinking, but... But I can sober up with a cup of hot water! I guess he started to get drunk when he saw me He carried me back directly, tsk, he didn't let him see my super power to sober up in a second..."

Ge Qiao still didn't move slightly, his eyes were tightly closed, and his brows were furrowed.

"Brother, why don't you go upstairs and rest?" Zhu Zan had no choice but to lean over, raising his hand to try the temperature of Ge Qiao's forehead.

As soon as Zhu Zan's fingertips touched his cold forehead, Ge Qiao suddenly shook his body and opened his eyes. Indifference, sharpness, self-confidence, and fresh tiredness melted in a pair of beautiful eyes.

He suddenly spoke, calm as usual, but this actually surprised Zhu Zan: "You are a director, specializing in content, what kind of content attracts the audience the most?"

Zhu Zan didn't expect that Ge Qiao's first quacking topic tonight would be such a professional question. He forgot to respond for a moment, was stunned for a few seconds, and stiffly replied with a standard answer: "Interesting content?"

Ge Qiao suddenly sat up straight with a carp, stared at Zhu Zan without blinking, and continued to ask: "What is interesting?"

"This..." Zhu Zan was truly flattered. Normally, when he wanted to discuss some academic issues with his elder brother Qiao, Ge Qiao always perfunctory himself impatiently or simply pretended to be stupid. Today is the sun Came out from the west?

It's a rare opportunity, don't let it go.

"There are many kinds of fun, and we need to prescribe the right medicine. For example, I am doing a variety show. This is interesting, and it is to create jokes in a short time. Brother, you are in contact with the music and film and television industries. For music, you should Is it an attractive melody? In terms of film and television, it is a wonderful plot with explosive points." He answered first, and then asked, "Brother, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Aren't you in charge of marketing and publicity, and also make content?"

"There is no attractive content, how can I promote it..." Ge Qiao remembered the problem before him again, and his irritability rushed into his heart like a tide, and he fell back into the sofa on his back again, letting out a long sigh.

"Ah? What's the situation?"

"The new album of a singer in the company is blurred. I want to put in a video advertisement, so I use the MV..." Ge Qiao was furious, but he still answered Zhu Zan's question honestly, which can be regarded as a way to relieve his distress. , "Actually, even if you use all the means, you may not be able to recover. If you missed the golden promotion period on the first day, how can it be so easy to counterattack..."

"Use the content of the MV as an advertisement?"

"Well, don't video sites always have a few seconds of video advertisements? The one that members can only remove. Cut off the beginning and end of the MV, save about two and a half minutes, and put it into a video advertisement, so you can watch it forcibly! Hey! Hurry up There is no selection button for enter and pause, and the sound cannot be turned off! If you mortals want to watch the feature film, you have to listen to the whole song for me every second!" The more you talk, the more emotional you become. The more angrily he got, he was a little vicious at the end.

Preferably one where members can't choose to skip ads.

First increase the number of listeners, maybe someone will suddenly fall in love with this song after listening to it.Ge Qiao played the role of hooligans openly and honestly, anyway, he would rather be disgusted than a thousand, and never let a single one go!

Zhu Zan: "..."

He really didn't expect to have such a showy operation, he was dumbfounded.

"Well, why are you deliberately torturing people, the effect may not be good..." When it comes to things related to content marketing, isn't Zhu Zan the best!He calmly persuaded Ge Qiao to let go of his wolf heart, "One of my favorite show directors wrote a book, which said that the time to catch the audience's attention is only ten seconds, if there is no audience within these ten seconds If the things they want make them feel boring, then this show will be useless. What you have done to force watching for two and a half minutes is too rascal..."

"I'm a scoundrel, you fucking know?" Ge Qiao was still unreasonable, but he also secretly remembered the rule of "ten seconds determine the outcome" that Zhu Zan said.

And this night, until the second before he fell asleep, he still tensed up his brain nerves, carefully pondering and digesting the deep meaning of Zhu Zan's words.

Of course, after some ideological struggle and baptism, he finally gave up that hooliganism and walked on the "right path" again.

"Xiao Liu, go and ask the children in your group to have a meeting and ask them to watch the MV of the title song of Annie the Red's new album, remember to turn off the sound, just watch the picture, and then cut it out for me for 15 seconds. "

"No matter what else, just promise me that there is something to watch in these 15 seconds! Sand sculpture plot, cool special effects, how come it has visual impact! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

He figured it out. He fell into the trap of inherent thinking before, thinking that the MV is just an appendage of the music work, serving the music, and he took it for granted that only this song is the main body of the promotion.

But for video advertisements, the most attractive thing is the shock brought by the picture.As long as the pictures in the MV can arouse people's curiosity, there will be no worries about people who are interested in this song.

Zhu Zan is still useful at critical moments.

The corners of Ge Qiao's mouth raised slightly, his mood improved, and he was about to concentrate on making other parts of the publicity plan when there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Please come in." He said without looking up.

The man at the door opened the door and came in, walked to the opposite of Ge Qiao's desk, stood still, and made no other movements.Ge Qiao was blocked by the huge computer screen, and after waiting for a long time, no one came to say anything, so he had to ask first: "What's the matter..." Looking up, he suddenly met Zhong Mingcan's gaze.

"Fuck!" Ge Qiao dropped the mouse like a ghost.

"I sent you a WeChat message last night, and I said that I would come to you today." Zhong Mingcan smiled brightly, and his eyes sparkled.

After the phone turned off automatically last night, Ge Qiao put it at the end of the bed to charge it all night, naturally ignoring the new messages on the phone.I didn't turn it on until I got to the office today, and then immediately went to work. I really didn't know that Zhong Mingcan looked for me on WeChat last night.

"Ah, I didn't have time to look at it, you...what are you looking for me for?"

"Come and chase..."

The landline phone in the office suddenly started to jingle, and the voice was loud, blocking Zhong Mingcan's unfinished words all at once.

Ge Qiao didn't have time to think about it, so he mouthed "sorry" to him, and picked up the phone.

"Will you go to the media exchange meeting next month?"

"Go, have you declared everything?"

"It's too late, I underreported one person here, and there is a vacant position, I want to find someone to fill it up temporarily..."

"No one wants to go?"

"Who wants to? At that time, all I will hear is German, Korean, and English. Just thinking about it now makes my head feel big. If it weren't for my bad luck, I would be responsible for this matter this year, and I wouldn't be willing to go!"

"Must be an internal employee of the company?"

"It's not necessary, but no one inside the company is willing to go, so is anyone outside the company interested?"

"I do have a candidate here. He is born to like this kind of tall and pretentious place. The director of the program works in a TV station and can speak Korean. He should be willing to go."

"Hahahaha, yo, how can you 'social waste' workaholic still make friends with such an elite talent? All right, all right, give me his name and phone number, I'll report it, hurry up. "

Ge Qiao responded, hung up the phone and sent a message to Zhu Zan, which can be regarded as a repayment of his kindness for the help last night.

Zhong Mingcan was left alone like this, just missed the best time to confess his love, and now he didn't know which step to take, he took a few steps back quietly, sitting on the sofa in the office, not to disturb Ge Qiao's work, Just try to be a transparent person.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to be very busy today, and I may not be able to take care of you." Ge Qiao finally stopped typing on the keyboard, looked away from the computer screen, and said to Zhong Mingcan, "Did you not finish talking just now? What do you want me to do?"

For some reason, upon hearing these words, Zhong Mingcan suddenly felt a little timid, perhaps because the ear-piercing ringing just now completely shattered his imagination, and all the details of the confession that had been conceived suddenly disappeared. back to reality.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway, I'll wait for you here, let's have lunch together."

Ge Qiao didn't refuse or agree, but just stayed on Zhong Mingcan's body for a second longer, then turned his head again to stare at the computer screen and type.

Not long after that, he watched Ge Qiao make a third call.

"Did you get the email? It was just sent to you."

"Talk to the few video bloggers I contacted before, and use this song to make a fuss. They are more skilled than us in business and know how to do it to attract more fans. Yes, it is the title song of Red-haired Annie this time. The price is before We have discussed it, and if the publicity effect is good at that time, we can add money depending on the situation... Yes, yes, we are stupid and have a lot of money, yes, yes!" I don't know what the other side said, which made Ge Qiao laugh, but this made Ge Qiao laugh. The intoxicated laughter of others only lasted for two seconds, and he quickly put away his expression.

"Well, let me confirm again. Anyway, you should contact them first, and remember not to interfere with their creative ideas! You must respect their art, do you hear me?"

After hanging up the phone, the office was suddenly silent, leaving only the slight sound of the mouse wheel rubbing and sliding.

Zhong Mingcan had nothing to do. Taking advantage of his angle, he was convinced that Ge Qiao couldn't see him out of the corner of his eye, so he stared at Ge Qiao blatantly, with naked eyes, playing the role of a transparent idiot.

In a daze, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be his first close contact with Ge Qiao, who was in the big office on the tenth floor, trying to complete trivial and high-intensity business. He was strategizing, full of confidence, and aggressive.

However, to Ge Qiao, this state seemed so relaxed and natural, it seemed that this was the normal state he was most familiar with.

Sure enough, rationality must not be allowed to overwhelm sensibility.

At this moment, Zhong Mingcan, who had been a complete bystander for a while, suddenly realized that the real Ge Qiao was far away from him.

The door was knocked again.

"Please come in." There was no wave in the cold voice.

"Mr. Ge," it's Miss Assistant, her face is flushed at the moment, her eyes are shining with excitement and anticipation, "I'm here to represent my colleagues in the media group, and I'm asking you about the built-in..."

"Ah."

"I heard that we are going to Suyang City next year, right?"

"Correct."

"When exactly? How long will it take?"

"The specific time has not been set, we have to wait for the email notification, let's go for three days and two nights..."

The assistant's voice became thinner and thinner, and the overflowing excitement and excitement made her voice tremble slightly: "That! Then, will you go, Mr. Ge this time?"

"I'm not going," Ge Qiao replied without hesitation, which was tantamount to pouring cold water on the head of the assistant who was getting carried away with joy, "I will only make you feel uncomfortable if I go." Looks very understanding.

The assistant lady restrained her smiling face, and wanted to refute, but Ge Qiao took the lead.

"Besides, I don't like to travel far."

"But... Mr. Ge, you have never participated in the internal construction..."

"Nonsense! I didn't reimburse you for your travel expenses?" Ge Qiao smiled and stared, "Even if my body didn't go, my heart is connected with you, isn't it?"

The assistant was choked on the spot by the sudden bowl of chicken soup, and she didn't know how to continue to complete her mission.

She was entrusted by the girls from the media team outside the door just now to inquire about the company's collective trip to Suyang City in the spring of next year. One of the most important tasks is to persuade Ge Qiao to participate together. The company of the handsome guy is also an extra beautiful landscape.She made a guarantee with the group of girls, and she was more than 80% confident in convincing Ge Qiao, but she still lost to Ge Qiao's heresy before she had time to speak.

Ge Qiao coaxed and lied, dismissed the assistant lady with a few words, and then sat back in front of the computer again and continued typing.

Zhong Mingcan watched from the side, and watched the assistant lady turned around and walked out of the office with a little dejection and closed the door. He suddenly frowned gradually, and a little incomprehensible thought arose.

Ge Qiao's life... He doesn't seem to have a life.

This person seemed to be surrounded by a copper wall and an iron wall, as if he was invincible.

He doesn't need the small pleasures brought by firewood, rice, oil and salt, the small pleasures of daily life, and the rhythm of life that is disturbed by anything other than work.

He... doesn't need to accept anyone's admiration for him.

At least not now.

The author has something to say: You can't be too Ge Qiao in life, you have to combine work and rest! 【Otherwise, we can’t talk about love~
