Chapter 1259: Keep It a Secret for Me
Just when the music and plot both hit a low point, a ray of light from upstairs shone down, warm yet not glaring. But when looking up, the person behind the light was unseen.
The sound of footsteps on the stairs echoed, the source of light approaching. The music shifted from tranquil to urgent, tightening the heart, reminiscent of watching a horror film.
"It’s me."
The voice was gentle like the breeze of March, soothing and helping to dispel the panic just felt.
Only now could you see the face blurred by the backlight, wearing a warm smile that made one smile with delight.
From this point, the music changed again, as if all the repressiveness had found an outlet to escape, the mood lightened, akin to a winter that had been cold for months, suddenly brightened by sun, driving away the chill, enveloping one in warmth.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to take you home."
Lin Tian carried Jiang Pan Die back into the house, lit the candles, and prepared a steaming bowl of lean meat noodles, then carefully tended to her wounds. Miraculously, as Lin Tian applied medicine to Jiang Pan Die’s wound, it soon healed.
Now the music was thoroughly free from previous oppressiveness, light-heartedly bringing happiness.
On the final screen appeared a message: May there be a ray of light in your darkest moments; a warm embrace in the depths of despair.
At this point, the entire play concluded, and when the assistant switched the light back on, Lin Tian could see tears and smiles on Liou Qingcheng and Zhou Mi’s faces.
"How do you feel?" Yu Qianming inquired, very satisfied with the work and wholeheartedly invested, having expended every effort to achieve such a result. After all, he depended on this work to win awards, gain reputation, and popularity. Naturally, he sought others’ opinions.
Zhou Mi wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile, "I was at the site during filming before, didn’t expect the final effect could be so good. Though I am an amateur, in my view, it’s very well made!"
Liou Qingcheng laughed and said, "Where is this an advertisement? It’s clearly a high-quality romance idol film. In two minutes, it presented what others take forty episodes to play out, impressive."
Soon, she raised another question, "But... why didn’t I see the promoted product?"
Yu Qianming laughed and said, "This content was Lin Tian’s idea. He said, seeing such good efficacy, there will naturally be people who want to learn more, claiming that good wine needs no bush. And there’s more to follow, but he refuses to tell us how the story continues."
Liou Qingcheng, surprised, glanced at Lin Tian, not expecting it to be Lin Tian’s idea, and without reservation praised, "Great idea!"
Lin Tian smiled, leaned close to Liou Qingcheng’s ear and softly said, "I’m even better in other areas!"
Only Liou Qingcheng could hear this and could not help but smile and glare at this mischievous fellow, teasing her among so many people.
Everyone was curious about what Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng said, but no one asked.
Yu Qianming looked at Jiang Pan Die and Lin Tian and asked, "What do you think?"
"Better than I imagined, I especially like the final message: A ray of light in your darkest moments; a warm embrace in the depths of despair," Jiang Pan Die said.
Lin Tian thought for a while and said, "What I want to say, they’ve already said. Additionally, I really like the music in it. It suits the situation well, the happiness after repression is wonderful. By the way, what’s the name of this song?" Lin Tian asked.
Yu Qianming smiled and said, "This piece of pure music is called ’Light’, composed by Zhou Wenhong Ms. Zhou, recorded by several masters from Heyue Company together. It hasn’t been published online yet and is waiting to be released with the advertisement. The editing was completed long ago, just waiting for the song to be finished, which was done yesterday."
"Hmm, then when will this advertisement be aired?" Lin Tian asked.
Yu Qianming laughed, "That depends on your company’s decision."
After speaking, he glanced at Guan Ling.
Before Lin Tian asked, Guan Ling proactively said, "This advertisement will be broadcast on TV channels and entertainment channels, timed at the two minutes before and after seven thirty. Additionally, our flagship store website and Xunxin will update this advertisement. You can expect to see it on TV in the fastest time, within a week."
Watching Guan Ling speak eloquently, Lin Tian was still a bit surprised in his heart. The periods before and after seven thirty are prime time; the advertising costs at this node are astonishingly high, not to mention being broadcast on multiple channels, and the total duration of this advertisement is two minutes. Every second counts!
What’s most impressive is being able to air within a week; understanding the process from review to airing generally takes far longer than a week.
From this, it’s clear that Qiansimei is not short on money, with Bai Shishi as a super rich lady!
Lin Tian looked at Guan Ling and asked, "You’re the head of the advertising department, can you decide the airing time?"
"This is a significant matter; I only have execution and discussion rights," Guan Ling said with a smile. "But for this matter, you can decide directly."
If someone else were to ask, Guan Ling wouldn’t normally say anything, as it’s her work and outsiders have no right to know.
But Lin Tian is different; he’s the general manager, albeit a titular one, but he has shares, and both the boss lady and company are his. What’s left for Guan Ling not to disclose?
Lin Tian nodded and said, "Alright, the sooner the better."
"Okay."
...
After this non-meeting meeting ended, Guan Ling, with her assistant and the video, exchanged a few words with Lin Tian before leaving.
Yu Qianming felt very happy, arranged a meal for two days later with everyone, and then left with his assistant.
In the small conference room, only Lin Tian, Liou Qingcheng, Jiang Pan Die, Zhou Mi, and the unidentified manager remained.
"Mrs. Han, please go rest first, it’s too stuffy in the company these days, I’ll go out with a few friends to unwind," Jiang Pan Die said to the manager who had been silent.
Mrs. Han suddenly became anxious, but still tried to speak slowly, "Pandie... General Jiang assigned me to accompany you, you must take some people with you when going out, lest I worry about your safety..."
Few know about Jiang Pan Die’s disappearance a while ago, and Mrs. Han is one of those informed. Now she’s Jiang Pan Die’s manager, whatever happens to Jiang Pan Die, she’s responsible, how could she just let her go?
Jiang Pan Die, smiling, looked at her and said, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger, it’s settled! Also, keep it a secret for me!"
