"You should know that Xingning City is preparing to select the 'Cultural City', right?" The general manager, who had received satisfactory results, was in a good mood at the moment, and chatted with Yan Yiling casually: "The short animation you selected is very good, and it coincides with the theme of 'Cultural City'. This is very good."
Yan Yiling was extremely surprised.
She knew her boss's temper very well. He was usually serious, but at this moment he looked so happy, which was a rare sight. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the results of their work this time.
This made Yan Yiling relax and feel happy in her heart.
The selection of "Cultural City" has nothing to do with ordinary people. Even most residents of Xingning City don't take it seriously. But in the eyes of some people, if it is won, it will be a real political achievement, not just an optional title.
If the people above are happy, then the people below them will definitely be rewarded.
"Then this time..."
"Let's go with this series," the general manager decided, "By the way, do you know who produced the video?"
Yan Yiling nodded. She had already made preparations before coming to the office, so she naturally knew nothing about the question. She immediately answered, "These videos were made by three students from the Animation Department of Xingning Art University."
…
Xingning University of the Arts, in the dormitory.
Mu Suxing sat in front of the table, pretending to flip through a professional book, but in fact he continued to browse the books in the mall through the system. Wen Feihang was drawing, as he had just taken a big order for game illustrations yesterday. Fang Lian continued to focus on his gaming business - until his cell phone rang.
As the phone call rang, Fang Lian's character was instantly chopped back to the resurrection point by the enemy.
He had no choice but to quit the game in frustration and answer the phone. Before he could even leave the dormitory, the person on the other end of the phone started to curse:
"Have you grown wings now? You won't listen to anything your father says? If I hadn't heard it from others, I wouldn't know you did such a stupid thing. You gave up a good internship opportunity at an animation company and made a short animation with your rich second-generation roommate? His family is rich and he has the right to be willful. Why are you following him to do something stupid?"
Fang Lian didn't turn on the speakerphone, but the dormitory was already quiet at the moment, and the voice on the other end of the phone was sharp and loud, so Mu Suxing and Wen Feihang had no choice but to hear it.
The dormitory was silent. Fang Lian nodded to the two of them awkwardly and hurried to the corridor: "Dad, I know what I'm doing. You..."
"You know? You know shit! You just hang out with other rich people all day long. They come from well-off families, and even if they mess up, they still have plenty of ways to find a job after graduation. What about you? Do you expect others to introduce you to a job?"
The dormitory was silent, and several people didn't know what to say for a moment. At the same time, in Muxuxing's mind, the system that had been silent for a week suddenly made a series of "ding" sounds -
Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the hidden mission!
Hidden mission: I want to tell everyone that all the subway stations in Xingning City have been contracted by me.
Mission progress: Completed (7/7)
Mission rewards: 3,000 achievement points, 1 allocable skill point, and a lottery voucher.
Huh
Before Mu Suxing could count the rewards for this mission, his cell phone, which had been casually placed on the desk, soon rang. He had an idea and took it to take a look.
It's an unfamiliar number.
He had a hunch in his heart, and answered the phone: "Hello, how are you... Yes, I am..." His eyes swept over the silent Wen Feihang and Fang Lian who was about to open the door of the dormitory and go to the corridor to talk, and continued: "It's like this, the short animation was completed by me and my friends, so I need to discuss what you said with my friends. It happens that they are all here. I'll turn on the speakerphone. Do you think this is okay?"
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was just loud enough for the other two people in the dormitory to hear.
Wen Feihang stood up suddenly.
Fang Lian also stopped. He ignored Fang's father on the other end of the phone and said anxiously that he had something to do and would talk later. Then he hung up the phone and walked quickly to Mu Suxing.
Looking at the two people's nervous faces, Mu Suxing couldn't help laughing.
He didn't keep the suspense, but directly pressed the speakerphone button on his phone, allowing the voice on the other end of the line to be clearly heard in the dormitory.
"Hello, The Little Prince production team. I am Yan Yiling, the person in charge of this Subway Culture Call for Subway ...
boom--
The female voice on the phone was gentle and polite, with a sense of delicacy unique to women. But when it fell into the ears of Wen Feihang and Fang Lian, it was as shocking as thunder.
All selected!
Before the production, they thought that even if they could get a spot in this event, it would be pretty good. After all, the address where the video was played was a busy subway station. So, when Mu Suxing said that he wanted to contract the entire Xingning City subway line, the two of them agreed with him verbally, but in fact they didn't believe it at all.
Until the final product was produced, the two were confident in the short animation and had never thought about really contracting the subway station. But now, the other party told them that not only was their work selected, but it also took up all the places!
"According to the regulations, you will receive 70,000 credit points after tax as a bonus for this recruitment, three years of free rides on all Xingning subway lines, and will be awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of Xingning City. Congratulations."
Wen Feihang swallowed, unable to believe his ears.
Fang Lian now put aside the embarrassment he had when he received a call from home. He held his breath and listened attentively to the voice on the other end of the phone. He didn't even notice that the phone in his palm had fallen.
Mu Xuxing clenched his right hand hanging by his waist, and then slowly released it.
"In order to cooperate with the upcoming 'Cultural City' selection event in Xingning City, we will play the animation of The Little Prince at all subway stations in Xingning City in half a month. In order to maximize the effect of the animation, we will not release any information to the public before then. Do you have any opinions?"
The last agreement was added tentatively by Yan Yiling after careful consideration.
The "Cultural City" selection activity is just around the corner. Originally, Yan Yiling had never thought about this aspect, after all, there are so many people eyeing this piece of cake. However, after chatting with the general manager today, Yan Yiling immediately came up with a new idea.
According to the general manager, their contribution this time is definitely indispensable based on "The Little Prince". The key lies in how to make their contribution decisive rather than insignificant.
Yan Yiling thought about it and decided to start with "The Little Prince".
She is very confident in this series of works. In her opinion, "The Little Prince" is even eligible for the animation short film award. Yan Yiling does not believe in the saying "good wine needs no bush". In order to increase the proportion of "The Little Prince" in this event, she thought about it and finally made this decision.
- Promote "The Little Prince"!
This promotion is certainly not about advertising like TV or movie promotion. They only need to announce that the seven places in this call for submissions are all won by a team of students from a certain university. At the same time, the video content and producer information will not be disclosed, so the public will naturally be curious.
Especially those animation producers who were not selected in this event, many of whom are well-known in the circle. After learning that the places were actually won by a few college students, they will inevitably feel dissatisfied and become curious about the animation itself.
This is the best publicity!
The greater the sensation caused by "The Little Prince", the easier it is to attract the attention of the selection committee. And if the relevant personnel in charge of the selection just inadvertently mention the short animation on the subway during the selection process, it will be of great benefit to her!
