Chapter 417: Are you a little angry?
Before 3 p.m., the plane landed at Kuncheng Changshui Airport.
Neither Xu Chen nor Xie Bingran had lunch seriously, but fortunately they still ate some of the fruits and nuts in the first-class cabin.
As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I felt a cool and refreshing feeling.
After all, the altitude is much higher and it is still cooler than Pengcheng, but it is also relatively warm and suitable.
It is worthy of being called the "Spring City", and the climate is indeed very livable.
Looking up, the sky is blue and clear, with thin white clouds strands, which also makes people feel good.
The two of them were each carrying a suitcase, and behind them were backpacks, so they were traveling lightly.
The two large purple clay tea set gift boxes given by Zhou Kai have been sent out at Pengcheng Airport, so they don't have to carry them around.
……
Xu Chen looked at his phone to confirm the time, but it was still in time.
This year's "China Advertising Festival" is held at the Kuncheng International Convention and Exhibition Center, which is only half an hour's drive from the airport.
The awards ceremony of the "Grand Guangzhou Competition" starts at 4 o'clock, so there is still plenty of time.
The two of them walked towards the exit, and Xu Chen read through the message that Gu Xinxin had sent previously.
Includes car rental and hotel bookings.
……
……
Drop-off point at the airport parking area.
A swarthy, fat local man wearing a cowboy hat completed the handover procedure with Xu Chen.
What Xu Chen rented was a white Toyota Overbearing.
After all, if you are considering traveling by car in Yunnan Province, there may still be some bumpy national and provincial roads, so it is safer to drive an all-terrain off-road vehicle.
Xu Chen carefully checked the car, especially safety-related matters.
The uncle helped put the luggage in the car first.
After everything was ready, we got in the car and drove towards Kuncheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Xie Bingran sat quietly in the passenger seat, holding her cell phone to send messages.
Xu Chen couldn't help but ask:
“Who should I send a message to?”
Xie Bingran: "Su Rong."
"..."
Xie Bingran turned to look at Xu Chen and smiled secretly.
"I'll take you to eat mushrooms tonight." Xu Chen said.
"Mushrooms?"
"We will eat the fungus hot pot in the hotel, which is safer."
"Safe?"
Xu Chen explained with a smile:
"Many fungi are poisonous. If not handled properly, eating them can cause hallucinations."
"Oh."
……
Half an hour later, Kuncheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Xu Chen parked the car, thought for a while and said:
"Or I'll send you to the hotel first, so you don't have to follow me around."
Xie Bingran blinked his big eyes: "I want to follow you."
Xu Chen smiled:
"Then put on your hat and mask."
"Oh."
The two got out of the car and saw the huge signboard and flying flag of the "Chinese Advertising Festival" from a distance.
There weren't many people coming and going outside the convention and exhibition center, maybe everyone was inside.
Xu Chen flipped through his phone again and found a "meeting participation document" sent by Gu Xinxin.
This participation document was naturally sent by the "Great Wall Advertising Award".
If Xu Chen wants to bring Xie Bingran in, he needs to register for the "Great Wall Award" in the name of Dongchen Advertising.
Following the document's guidance, the two came to the door of Conference Hall No. 1.
The words "China Advertising Great Wall Award" are written on the huge background wall.
Sign in place.
Xu Chen and the staff reported the company name "Dongchen Advertising".
After checking the registration, the polite staff gave two passes according to the pre-registered information and said:
"The award ceremony of the 'Great Wall Award' will be tomorrow afternoon.
Today and tomorrow, you can enter and exit all activities and exhibitions related to the China Advertising Festival with your Great Wall Award pass. ”
Xu Chen looked at the pass in his hand and saw that it was still "SVIP".
In the "China Advertising Festival", a series of advertising awards are awarded, such as the Great Wall Award, Yellow River Award, Public Welfare Award, etc., and naturally include the awards of the "College Student Advertising Competition".
The most authoritative and important among them is naturally the "Great Wall Advertising Award".
As the winner of the "Great Wall Award", it is natural for Xu Chen to get the SVIP pass.
The staff added:
"Tomorrow's award ceremony, your specific seats are also on the back of the pass.
Tomorrow at the venue, when you go to the designated area, there will be a "Dongchen Advertising" sign on your seat. ”
Xu Chen turned over his SVIP pass and looked at it. It said "2 rows of VIP areas"...
"Okay, thank you!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
Seeing that Xu Chen was about to leave, the staff handed over a paper participation guide:
"In these two days, the 'China Advertising Festival' will have many exhibitions and exchange activities, and both of you can participate.
In addition, tonight and tomorrow night, there will be dinners arranged by the organizer. You two can participate at will with your VIP passes..."
Xu Chen took the meeting guide and said:
"Thank you! Let's take a look first..."
With that said, he took Xie Bingran and left.
……
After helping Xie Bingran get the certificate, Xu Chen sent another message to senior Zhao Siting:
[Hello, seniors, I have arrived at Kuncheng International Convention and Exhibition Center. Where should I meet you? 】
Xu Chen looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock. The award ceremony of the "Grand Contest" was about to start, so the time was just right.
After a while, I received a reply from Zhao Siting:
[You go to the left rear door of Conference Hall 3, I will wait for you there. 】
[Okay, received. I'll be there in about two or three minutes. 】
……
……
Conference Hall 3.
There is a huge background wall and several X display racks at the door.
Xu Chen took a cursory look and saw the authoritative guests and judges of this "Grand Competition" printed on several X display racks.
On the huge background wall are the words "The 6th College Student Advertising Competition Awards Ceremony".
Below the words, there is also a large "Baidu" logo printed on it.
Xu Chen took a closer look and realized that "Baidu" was also the title sponsor of this "Grand Contest" and was the largest financial backer.
……
Xu Chen took Xie Bingran to the left back door and saw a tall, thin boy wearing glasses standing there.
The first guess was that it was senior Zhao Siting, who looked like a "three good student" who listened to the teacher's instructions.
"Senior Zhao Siting, right? I am Xu Chen."
Zhao Siting nodded, quietly looked Xu Chen up and down, and then reached out and handed over a pass for the "Da Guang Festival".
"Let's go! Let's go in through the main entrance. We need to check the pass."
As Zhao Siting spoke, he looked at Xie Bingran, who was wearing a baseball cap and mask, with a confused look on his face.
Xu Chen said:
"This is my friend, he came with me."
Zhao Siting:
"He can't enter the venue without a pass."
He frowned slightly, seeming a little concerned.
He hesitated again, but still said directly: "After all, this is an event organized by the college, and it is not allowed to bring people in casually.
And you didn’t report to me in advance..."
Xu Chen was speechless.
But he didn't pay much attention, turned around and said to Xie Bingran:
"Let's go in."
Zhao Siting was stunned:
"No...you can't just bring people in.
He didn't have a pass, and the staff didn't let him go. ”
Xu Chen: "It's okay, we have another pass."
While talking, Xie Bingran dug into his pocket and casually hung the SVIP certificate around his neck.
Zhao Siting was stunned, and naturally he saw it.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
But he frowned again, looking confused.
As a college student attending the conference, Zhao Siting has naturally never seen this "SVIP" certificate.
He looked up at the "boy" wearing a hat and mask again, and couldn't help but become curious about "his" identity.
If you can get a pass to SVIP, does that mean you are a big shot in the advertising industry?
But he doesn't look very old, and how did he meet his freshman classmate Xu Chen?
Xu Chen ignored Senior Zhao Siting and quickly led Xie Bingran to the main entrance of Conference Hall 3.
The staff looked at the IDs on Xu Chen and Xie Bingran's chests and let them go without saying anything.
Zhao Siting took a breath and quickly followed in.
Naturally, he was still confused, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
……
Entering the conference hall, Xu Chen looked up and saw that almost three-quarters of the seats were occupied and there were many people.
At a glance, you can tell that most of them are students from various colleges and universities, with young, immature, excited and curious faces.
Most of those who can come to the scene today should be the award-winning students of the "Daguang Competition", and they can also be regarded as outstanding students majoring in advertising creativity...
On the podium, an old man with gray hair was sharing.
Xu Chen listened briefly and found out that they were pretentious about advanced advertising theories, industry trends, and so on. He guessed that they were professors or associate professors from a certain university.
……
Zhao Siting led the two of them and quickly walked to the middle seat in the front row.
"Just sit here..." Zhao Siting whispered.
Xu Chen responded and sat down next to each other.
Turning around to look, the "little rich woman" also sat next to him obediently.
Xu Chen turned around and looked inside again, guessing that the students in this row were the seniors and sisters from the same school.
Sure enough, among them, I saw Zhang Yuchen, the monitor of the junior photography class whom I met in Doha.
None of the other seniors and sisters were recognized.
Next to Zhao Siting, it turned out to be Ni Zhi, the director of the department.
Ni Zhi turned to look at Xu Chen, nodded and smiled at him.
Xu Chen also quickly smiled and nodded to say hello...
At this time, the group of classmates behind Ni Zhi also turned to look at Xu Chen and started talking in low voices.
Most of them were curious after finally meeting the belated winner of the "Double National First Prize".
Previously, Xu Chen won two "National First Prizes" at the same time, which still caused quite a stir in the academy and caused a lot of discussion in the academy's group.
Winning two national first prizes at the same time is already rare, not to mention he is only a freshman.
……
Zhao Siting turned to look at Xu Chen, as if he had something to say, looking hesitant.
Xu Chen noticed that the other party was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and waited for the other party to speak.
Zhao Siting came over and whispered:
"Classmate Xu Chen, there is a situation that I need to tell you..."
Xu Chen: "Senior, please tell me."
Zhao Siting: "Because you haven't come here in the morning, Dean Lin asked about it. I can only tell him the truth.
Dean Lin is afraid that you won't be able to make it to the award ceremony later, so he has arranged for another classmate to go up and receive the award on your behalf later. ”
"..."
Xu Chen thought, "So that's it."
No wonder Xu Chen sent a message to Zhao Siting when he was at the airport, and he would reply saying "there's no rush". It turned out that he had arranged for someone else to receive the award on his behalf.
Xu Chen actually didn’t take it seriously, but still asked with a smile:
"But I'm here now, can I go up and receive the award by myself?"
Zhao Siting frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.
Xu Chen looked puzzled, wondering what was so embarrassing about this?
Zhao Siting:
"Dean Lin, because you didn't come in the morning and were late in the afternoon...
I'm a little angry. ”
"..."
Xu Chen was speechless for a while.
It seems that the legend is true. Dean Lin Ruyang has a bit of a weird temper.
He is an "artist" himself, and his somewhat "arrogant" bad temper seems normal.
Xu Chen smiled and just said:
"I can do it, it doesn't matter."
Zhao Siting seemed to be "relieved" and whispered:
"Thank you for your understanding...
Now that Dean Lin is sitting in the guest seat in front, I can’t go over to ask for instructions..."
Xu Chen didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded.
Unexpectedly, the department chair Ni Zhi seemed to have heard what was said.
He came over and whispered:
"Let Xu Chen go up to receive the award later. What's so embarrassing about this?
Xu Chen has earned the award by himself. Now that he has rushed here, he must go up and receive it himself. ”
Zhao Siting curled his lips, showing a hint of embarrassment.
Ni Zhi: "You don't have to worry about Dean Lin. If he asks about you, just tell him that I arranged it."
Zhao Siting scratched his head, but still nodded obediently.
……
……
On the rostrum, when the guest professor finished his sharing, there were bursts of applause.
The host walked onto the stage and said a transitional speech of thanks.
"Thank you Professor Liu for your wonderful sharing. I think all the students here have learned a lot..."
“The next step is the most important part of the night.
The 6th National College Student Advertising Festival, Award Ceremony! ”
Then, there was a burst of noisy applause.
Most of the students who came to the scene must be college students who were shortlisted for first, second and third prizes.
As the awards were about to be presented, it was natural that I could not hide my excitement and anticipation.
The applause died down and the host continued:
"Next, I am honored to introduce the important guests present today, who are also the award guests tonight..."
Xu Chen listened for a while. Among the guests were several famous advertising professors from universities, as well as executives from several sponsored brands, such as Baidu and Gao Gujie.
In addition, there is also a leader from the Advertising Association and the leader of the local cultural department in Kuncheng...
Among the guests of university professors, Dean Lin Ruyang of Tonghai University was naturally introduced.
In addition, he is Professor Jin Changhai from Xiacheng University, the chairman of the jury of this year's "Daguang Competition".
In fact, Xu Chen's ability to win the "National First Prize" in the graphic category is closely related to Professor Jin Changhai.
At first, Xu Chen studied the list of judges and naturally saw Jin Changhai, the chairman of the judges.
I also specially studied Professor Jin Changhai’s advertising creation concept, and then created the "Bite Your Teeth" series of advertisements for Gaogujie toothpaste.
That set of advertisements can be said to be "just what he likes" and specially customized for this "chairman of the jury".
The final result was just as Xu Chen expected, that manuscript did win the award.
But being able to win the "National First Prize" was still somewhat beyond Xu Chen's own expectations.
