Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Teresa Teng asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it okay? Are the few sentences I said just now okay?"

Chen Feng smiled, gave a thumbs-up without hesitation, and replied, "I'm very satisfied with the results."

This advertising slogan has been heard so many times in later generations that it seems a bit clichéd.

But when it came out of Teresa Teng's mouth, it felt completely different.

Just like a pretty, lively and cute girl next door, teasing you playfully.

Even Chen Feng wanted to support her after seeing it and bought a bottle of wine to try.

On the other side of the TV station, the director in charge of filming, Makino, saw this scene with a flash of surprise in his eyes and asked curiously, "Who came up with this slogan?"

Teresa Teng pointed at Chen Feng and said with a smile, "Who else could it be? Our factory manager, the client's father. If the director thinks it's too exaggerated, you can go to him to settle the score. I won't be responsible."

As she said this, she blinked at Chen Feng in a playful manner.

Makino, with a bit of the casualness of an artist, grinned, and the stubble on his chin trembled slightly with his movements.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "This word, when used in an advertising slogan, is indeed unique. The sentence is short, rhymes, and is easy to remember."

He paused, then continued, "Of course, if someone else said it, it might seem exaggerated. But when you, Ms. Teresa Teng, start speaking, it feels different. It's refreshing and refined, not at all boring."

When Teresa Teng heard this, her eyes sparkled and she asked, "Really?"

Makino nodded and changed the subject: "It's just..."

"Just what?" Chen Feng and Teresa Teng looked at him at the same time.

Makino scratched his head and explained, "Admittedly, Ms. Teresa Teng's performance was vivid and lifelike, but from a purely visual and narrative perspective, it was a bit thin... During filming, we usually focus on 'multi-element integration' and 'visual impact', using different scenes, props, and even the interaction of characters to construct a rich and varied visual language to attract and retain the audience's attention..."

Director Makino gave a long speech. Chen Feng didn't know how impressive it was, but he secretly admired him in his heart.

As expected of someone in this field, his words are different. How could a half-wit like me know these things? As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. Professional matters require professionals to handle them.

Chen Feng immediately straightened his attitude and humbly asked for advice: "Director, how can we improve this advertisement? Go ahead, the cost is not a problem."

Makino waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "Director Chen, you're too polite. It's my honor to be able to shoot a commercial for Ms. Teresa Teng. But..."

He changed the subject, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked back and forth between Chen Feng and Teresa Teng, his eyes like a gourmet seeing delicious food.

Chen Feng felt uneasy when he was looked at by him. He felt like a piece of raw material waiting to be processed, being evaluated for whether to braise it or stew it. His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Makino said, "Director Chen, I think you should be on camera too."

"Me?" Chen Feng shook his head repeatedly. "That won't do. I'm not a celebrity, and I've never filmed a commercial. How could I possibly know these things?"

Makino said seriously, "It's precisely because you're not a celebrity that it's more effective. Teresa Teng was gentle and playful, while you have a masculine image. This creates a perfect contrast, called contrast and foil. In advertising, this technique can enhance visual impact and leave a lasting impression on the audience. Furthermore, as the factory manager, your presence in the ad can also increase the product's credibility, making consumers feel that we put our heart into our products."

Upon hearing this, Teresa Teng immediately agreed, "Director, for the sake of the advertising effect, you should do your part! Just listen to the director!"

Chen Feng had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, but I'm a newbie, so don't blame me if the photos are not good."

Director Makino patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I'm here! A good director is best at training actors."

It turned out that Director Makino was overconfident.

In front of the camera, Teresa Teng was as comfortable as a fish in water; every movement and smile was just right, natural and smooth.

On the other hand, Chen Feng on the side seemed to be tied up, and something was wrong. Either his expression was stiff or his movements were not in place. His whole body was tense and extremely uncomfortable.

"One more!"

Makino's voice came from behind the monitor, with a hint of helplessness.

This was already the tenth NG, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue, but Makino's eyes still showed determination.

Chen Feng wiped the sweat from his face and thought that not everyone can become a star.

He looked at Teresa Teng, who was drinking water leisurely with a warm smile on her face: "Don't be too nervous, let's take it slow."

"Hey, why can't I find the feeling?" Chen Feng sighed, feeling a little annoyed.

Makino walked over and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder. "Director Chen, relax. Advertising needs to be natural. The more nervous you are, the worse the effect will be. Think about how you usually manage the factory. Show that calmness and confidence, and that's all."

Chen Feng nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

He closed his eyes and imagined himself calmly facing tigers and bears in the mountains, fearlessly facing poachers, and disdainfully facing village bandits and bullies, especially the advantage of seizing historical opportunities.

When the filming started again, Chen Feng's condition was obviously much better. Although he was still a little awkward, at least he was no longer so nervous.

Teresa Teng also cooperated more tacitly, the two of them sang in unison, and the atmosphere of the advertisement gradually became just right.

"Okay! Just like that, keep it up!"

Director Makino's voice was filled with excitement; he knew that this time it would finally work.

As the red light of the camera went out, a perfect advertisement finally appeared before everyone.

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face. Teresa Teng also came over and gave him a big hug: "Feng, you did a great job!"

Makino also came over and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, the effect is very good this time, thank you all for your hard work!"

It was already late when we finished work, but everyone in the crew had a bright heart and was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Chen Feng stood in front of the monitor, staring at the advertisement playback on the screen without blinking, with a lot of emotions in his heart.

"I never thought that I, a latecomer, could come up with such an advertisement." Chen Feng muttered to himself, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Teresa Teng came over, stood beside him and said, "I think you performed very well today!"

Chen Feng turned to look at her and said gratefully, "Lijun, today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have finished filming this commercial. To express my gratitude, shall I treat you to a meal?"

Teresa Teng said, "Okay, but forget about the food outside. I still want to eat the mushrooms you have at home."

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."
