Chapter 114: The Promo Video is a Hit
"Boss, the school's video is finished."
"I just sent it to your phone, would you like to take a look?"
Lin Suyang tentatively spoke in a low voice.
Chen Jianhai exclaimed in surprise, "It's done? Let me see."
Last time, after the school sent people to shoot, they left without showing the sample. He was quite excited now.
He opened and played the video~
But as he watched, Chen Jianhai's expression changed from excitement to confusion, then to doubt, to amazement, and finally to resignation!
...Is this a hotel promo video or an Avengers movie?!
The 6-minute and 3-second video started normally.
A group of young, enthusiastic students happily walked out of Nanjing City Tourism Vocational College, boarded the school bus, and arrived at the hotel.
At this moment, the camera gave a huge close-up of the Lang Ai Hotel nameplate.
As the students entered the staff lounge, the tone of the video suddenly changed.
Zhu Tingting, Bai Cheng, the doorman, the plumber, the electrician, the housekeeping staff...
Each employee appeared in the video with lightning-fast cuts, like superheroes.
Even though they were doing the most ordinary daily work, they seemed like superheroes without superpowers, crazily overlapping between the new and old hotel scenes, swiftly traversing different timelines.
After an eye-catching, movie-like opening with dazzling effects, the BGM paused.
The screen went black, and a line of text slowly appeared:
"When a group of extraordinary people come together, see what we can achieve!"
The next moment, the entire BGM resonated with a grand, epic tone.
From the Greek temple-like sea-view hall to the luxurious 16th-century French palace.
From the Atlantis proposal stage to the sunken ship's underwater restaurant.
From the gallery staircase to the aquarium observation elevator and the sea-view elevator...
Scenes rose miraculously,
The hotel's student employees seemed transformed, building new achievements in the hotel's universe.
"Are these my employees???"
"Is this...my hotel??"
Just as Chen Jianhai was dumbfounded,
wondering if this was a commercial epic or a hotel promo video.
A very familiar voice sounded in the video:
"Hello, welcome to Lang Ai Hotel."
"I am the hotel owner, Chen Jianhai."
After speaking, a crisp snapping sound was heard.
All the super employees stood together, happily facing the camera, making victory gestures.
And in the center of the employees,
Boss Chen, with messy hair, powdered face, and red lips, looked blankly at the camera.
He looked like Thanos being captured by superheroes and photographed as a trophy.
"Is this satisfaction or dissatisfaction...?"
Lin Suyang stared intently at Chen Jianhai,
trying to decipher a hint from his facial expressions.
"It's...well done."
Chen Jianhai said with difficulty.
With some works, when you see them made by others, you exclaim 666 and praise the creator wildly.
But once you realize you are the main character in that work, all that's left is embarrassment and social death.
Chen Jianhai took a deep breath and opened the second video.
A few minutes later.
Chen Jianhai exhaled deeply.
Compared to the first video,
the second video was obviously much more normal!!
Not only normal, but it was also filled with hardcore and tech vibes,
the special effects dazzled Chen Jianhai, one scene after another bombarding him, leaving him in awe.
Amid the shock, Boss Chen couldn't help but watch it again.
"This video is well done!!"
"Better than the last one!"
"This one is great!"
Chen Jianhai gave a series of compliments.
Seeing Chen Jianhai's lukewarm reaction to the first video but strong praise for the second PPT, Lin Suyang smirked inwardly.
Didn't I say so!??
In the realm of PPT, the boss...doesn't understand!
...
"Boss, how about we put the first video on the video-sharing site for promotion?"
"And the second video on the hotel's official website and various travel vacation apps,"
"Double-pronged approach!"
"It can let potential customers know about the hotel, and also expand brand awareness among those without vacation plans."
"What do you think?"
Chen Jianhai nodded, "Sure, do as you said."
...
As soon as Lin Suyang walked out of Chen Jianhai's office, he immediately called Zhao An to tell him the good news that the video passed and could be released on schedule.
Zhao An's fingers trembled as he held the phone; if it weren't for maintaining his dignity in front of his team, he might have cried aloud.
The pressure he endured these days was immense...
Following this,
The propaganda department members worked tirelessly on final edits, refining details,
aiming for perfection,
scheduled to release the video on the school's official Qiliqili account at 22:22 this Saturday.
The video was divided into two parts.
Part 1 was the solid, well-grounded school promo.
Part 2 was the hotel's promo.
When Boss Chen found out the hotel promo video was uploaded online, four days had passed.
Curious, he clicked in,
Whoa!
The view count had surpassed 200,000.
The comments were buzzing!
All Nanjing City Tourism Vocational School graduates, current students, and prospective students were actively commenting below.
The messages already spanned over twenty pages.
"My dad's school...I can only look, can't get in."
"Upstairs, what a coincidence! My dad's too."
"Ten years ago, I came to this place for a retest, stayed for three days, and my only impression is the playground fence had a small opening, you could go out to eat grilled squid and beach, and the girls' dorm across. Plus, that pretty senior who lent me her meal card. I didn't get in."
Seeing this message, Chen Jianhai raised an eyebrow gossipingly,
Unexpectedly, a school promo could hook such old stories.
Curiously, he continued to browse comments,
"Part 2: Our mission is to surpass the official!"
"Part 2's views have surpassed the official 2021 promo... 99,000 to 280,000."
Curious, Chen Jianhai clicked on Part 2.
As soon as the video opened,
Countless, dense high-level comments and a wave of regular comments roared out.
From the first second to the fifth second of the video,
the screen was completely covered with the same comment:
"I declare, the 2021 freshman promo is this, not even the principal can change it!"
Following this,
Multicolored comments almost maintained the same formation:
"If Dongchen Tourism Vocational University students did wrong, let the law punish us, not let us see this video thirty days before internships!"
"If Mian Ke Tourism Vocational University students did wrong, let the law punish us, not let us see this video fifty days before internships!"
"If Nanzhong Tourism Vocational University students did wrong, let the law punish us, not let us see this video one hundred and ten days before internships!"
And in the top comments,
One comment stood out:
"More than two months ago, I stayed at this hotel for a day, no impression left, just the lobby was beautiful, stunned..."
Chen Jianhai was bewildered.
What's going on here?!
Tonight's update is late, hahaha because I was so happy!
Hahahaha!!!
