Chapter 420 Rice press conference before time (Ch 420)

“Director, are you saying that Ruonan has a good chance of winning the award?”

Qi Jia put down his wine glass and asked happily,

He originally thought that it would be great if he could win a Magnolia Award or a Golden Eagle Award.

After all, it is different from the first two awards which are selected based on market response.

As the highest honor for domestic TV dramas, the Feitian Award is selected based on market response.

It also involves assessment of the script’s values, artistry and other aspects, and is extremely difficult.

Yang Yang nodded and said with a smile,

“I also had this idea after reading the script. Do you know who won the Best Actress Award at the last Feitian Awards?”

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan shook their heads at the same time. Instead, Liu Yan at the side spoke up.

“It’s Sun Li, the award-winning work “Nothing Gold Can Stay””

Then she explained: “I was also at the award ceremony at that time.”

“That’s right,” Yang Yang nodded and said, “I’ve watched that drama. Although the dynasties are different, the main storyline is very similar to Meng Hua Lu. Both dramas portray the image of self-reliant women, which fits the main theme of the drama…”

Yang Yang briefly analyzed everything from the script to the characters and the values ​​of the story to Qi Jia and others.

In a word, as long as the production is good and Zhang Ruonan performs well,

The probability of winning the prize cannot be said to be 100%, but it is more than 80%.

After all, Sun Li has already verified the drama with the same theme.

As for Qi Jia, Yang Yang didn’t mention it, but he probably understood it in his heart because Dreams of a Chinese Odyssey was originally a female-led drama and the male lead’s role and image were weakened, so it was impossible for him to win an award.

The banquet lasted until about nine in the evening. The meal cost nearly ten thousand yuan, of which the bottle of fifty-year-old rice wine alone cost nearly five thousand yuan.

But Qi Jia felt that it was not expensive at all. After all, in addition to getting closer to Director Yang, he also learned about the Feitian Awards. It was definitely value for money.

Zhang Ruonan was equally happy. In the next few days, she began to practice even more frantically.

She attended tea art training during the day and when she returned home at night, she would pull Qi Jia to review the script. Qi Jia felt that she was a little crazy.

Because one night, when he was sleeping soundly, Zhang Ruonan beside him kicked him under the bed.

Before he could get up, he heard Zhang Ruonan shout, “I, Zhao Pan’er, will never be your concubine!”

I don’t know if he was really sleepwalking, or if he realized that he accidentally kicked Qi Jia off the bed and was afraid of getting beaten, so he pretended to sleepwalk.

Anyway, when Qi Jia mentioned this matter at breakfast the next day, she denied it flatly.

She also slandered Qi Jia for snoring when he slept, but she never said anything. Now Qi Jia is wrongly accusing her.

As he spoke, he began to look pitiful and aggrieved, which made Qi Jia almost think that it was himself who was sleepwalking last night, and he almost slapped himself twice.

…

On May 14, the day before the new rice product launch,

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan took their assistants and boarded a flight to Beijing.

This time, Zhang Ruonan attended as Qi Jia’s female companion because there was a dinner after the press conference.

at the same time,

Huawei, Wiwo, and Opple, three domestic mobile phone giants, suddenly issued a statement at the same time that day, launching a large-scale subsidy promotion campaign for some of their models.

All media and marketing accounts immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder.

For a time, the news that major manufacturers joined forces to suppress rice flooded the Internet. Before the press conference even started, a fierce battle had already broken out online.

At 10 am, the flight landed at Beijing International Airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, Qi Jia and the other two did not even have time to go to the hotel, but were taken to the Dami Technology Park by a special car arranged by Dami.

The venue for the press conference tomorrow night is the No. 1 multi-functional conference room in the Rice Technology Park.

After getting off the car, Qi Jia walked into the conference room under the guidance of the staff.

The conference room was large and could easily accommodate hundreds of people. On a large screen in the center of the stage in front, posters of spokespersons that Qi Jia had taken earlier were being played in rotation.

Rice employees with various badges on their chests were busy walking around like ants, checking the condition of the equipment.

Wang Teng was standing under the stage, loudly arranging something. There were more than a dozen people around him.

Seeing Qi Jia appear, Wang Teng raised his hand and waved at him. This action aroused the curiosity of the employees around him, and everyone turned around to look.

When they saw Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan walking towards them, everyone’s faces showed surprise. They immediately left Wang Teng and surrounded the two of them, greeting them and asking for photos.

“Go, go, go, go back to work. If you want to take a photo, don’t leave after work. I want to take a photo with you.”

Wang Teng came forward to drive them away, and was very dissatisfied with these men who forgot their loyalty for the sake of beauty.

“Brother Wang, goodbye. My family has no shortage of magical tools to exorcise ghosts.”

“Boss, they took photos with Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan to show off on their social media, but why did they take photos with you? Are they going to print them out and step on them for fun?”

“Boss, what we are saying is that men can be confident, but they must not be blindly confident.”

“Brother, if you really want to take a photo with us, you can treat us to afternoon tea and we will agree to it.”

It can be seen that Wang Teng usually gets along well with his subordinates. Even when driven away by the boss, the employees are not afraid and even joke around.

But jokes aside, everyone obediently dispersed and went about their own business.

Looking at Qi Jia’s handsome face that made men jealous and women fall in love with him, Wang Teng touched his prickly chin and sighed in his heart,

“Damn it! Damn those who are more handsome than me! Women nowadays have such poor taste in beauty. Do they like this kind of fresh meat? Is there no market for mature and steady guys like me?”

…

Wang Teng took Qi Jia to the backstage and began to explain to him the process of the press conference tomorrow night.

The protagonist tomorrow night is Lei Jun, and he will also be responsible for the main introduction work. Qi Jia’s job is to briefly introduce his experience of using Mi 10 Ultra.

After the introduction, he asked Qi Jia to come on stage and rehearse the process several times. After confirming that there were no problems, he considered it finished.

“Companies are starting a price war. What are you going to do?” During the break, Qi Jia took a sip of water and asked Wang Teng,

“We have no choice but to bear it.” Wang Teng shrugged and said, “CEO Lei is in a meeting to adjust the pre-sale price and gifts for new products. But to be honest, even if we start a price war, we won’t get any benefits. Although we have an advantage in configuration, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of brand power.”

Qi Jia nodded. Wang Teng’s words were easy to understand. For example, if a Mercedes-Benz and a BYD were placed next to each other at the same price, most people would choose the Mercedes-Benz.

Even though BYD has a higher configuration, in terms of brand power, people still think it is more prestigious to buy a Mercedes-Benz for the same price.

This is an inherent perception formed by consumers over a long period of time, and it cannot be changed by just a few advertisements.

“But fortunately, Mr. Lei is very sober and doesn’t want to eat a fat man in one bite.

He said the purpose of this press conference is to enter the high-end market and gain a firm foothold. “

Wang Teng continued to speak, Qi Jiashen agreed with him and was about to praise him when he suddenly heard him say,

“100,000!”

“I promised Mr. Lei that pre-sales will exceed 100,000 units tomorrow night, which is exactly one-quarter of the shipment volume of all Opple’s high-end models last month.”

After Wang Teng finished speaking, he patted Qi Jia on the shoulder and said with an excited smile,

“Brother, I am counting on you. Do you have confidence?”

“Fuck you!” Qi Jia cursed.

They only produce 400,000 units a month, but you want to produce 100,000 units in one night. Do you think this is Jincheng? A 1 is followed by countless 0s…
