"Old Yang, I told you our advertisement this time would be a hit. What do you think, it's all the rage now," Ma Chaoqun said smugly to Yang Lin in the office.
"I've already decided, for the next advertisement, I'm going to cut it directly into 30 minutes," he continued.
"Exactly, the market is the sole criterion. I agree with Old Ma's statement," Niu Feifan chimed in immediately after Ma Chaoqun finished speaking.
"And I think we can really be more ambitious now and take on some bigger brands for advertisements."
Seeing their self-satisfied expressions, Yang Lin found it hard to interrupt them, so he could only pat them on the shoulders and say, "With you two brothers here, why would I, your elder brother, not achieve great things.
"Why don't you just make a movie?"
However, the two did not realize he was being sarcastic, and their eyes immediately lit up.
"You think so too, Old Yang?"
"Do we really have the conditions to enter the film market?"
As graduates of directing and screenwriting, the two had a deep obsession with making movies.
Yang Lin could only roll his eyes at them.
"My dear brothers, think carefully. We're only getting paid for one advertisement, and you want to make a whole movie for them.
"How much would we lose? Isn't this purely charity work?"
"Right, and we don't take just any advertisement. We can't take advertisements that don't involve animals."
Just as he finished speaking, Niu Feifan retrieved a notebook from the side.
"By the way, Old Yang, you weren't here earlier, and I accepted an advertisement for you.
"It's for a domestic car brand. I think the angle is very good, and we can try shooting it."
As soon as he said that, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yang Lin's face.
"Cars? That's hard to shoot. How about we..."
Before he could finish, Niu Feifan added, "They're offering 30 million yuan for the advertisement fee."
"Good! Very good! I think animals and cars can indeed create a great synergy," Yang Lin said seriously after Niu Feifan finished speaking.
"Alright, Old Niu, tell me your idea first. How are you planning to shoot this advertisement?"
Hearing Yang Lin ask for his ideas, Niu Feifan immediately put on an air of confidence.
"Here's what I'm thinking. I believe we can choose Shidifu to be the protagonist of this advertisement."
"Wait, choose who?" Yang Lin immediately asked with confusion upon hearing the name Shidifu.
"Shidifu. The protagonist of this story is a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees and cars are a perfect match!"
Niu Feifan's face lit up with excitement as he spoke.
But Yang Lin's expression grew somewhat bewildered.
If he had to make an animal endorse a car brand, he thought it would be by using horses and leopards to represent the car's speed, or tigers and lions to represent its powerful engine.
These could somewhat make sense, but if he was forced to have a chimpanzee star in a car advertisement, Yang Lin couldn't for the life of him understand how they could create any synergy.
"Forget it, why think so much? We can just leave this part of the work to these two from now on."
With this thought, Yang Lin felt his mind clear up considerably.
"Old Ma, Old Niu, how about this: I'll rent a few floors of office buildings near the zoo for you. You build up your team, and the business of advertisement shooting and commercial cooperation will be handed over to you from now on.
"Establish a company when you have time. That's settled."
Hearing Yang Lin's arrangement, Niu and Ma naturally had no objections.
"Old Yang, you trust us so much. We will definitely make this business a success for you."
"Yes, just wait for the good news."
After speaking, the two resumed discussing the details of the upcoming advertisement shoot.
Seeing how invested they were, Yang Lin didn't disturb them further and walked straight out of the office.
Now that the advertisement shooting business was officially underway and handed over to Niu and Ma, there wouldn't be any major problems.
He finally had time to attend to other matters.
And the most important thing for him right now was the park expansion project.
Having received some advertisement fees, his funds had become a little more abundant. Although it wasn't enough for a complete renovation, it was enough to clear out that plot of wasteland.
With this in mind, he immediately drove his small van to a construction design institute he had contacted before.
As soon as he entered the design institute, the receptionist recognized him.
"Oh, it's Director Yang, what brings you here today?"
"I had a call with Designer Wu. I'm here to consult about the new park design."
Upon hearing Yang Lin's purpose, the receptionist quickly led him to an office.
Not long after he sat down, a young female designer walked in.
Upon seeing Yang Lin, her face lit up with a warm smile.
"Director Yang, didn't you say that the design work for the new park would be entirely entrusted to us? Why did you come in person?"
"It's like this, I suddenly had some new ideas, and I wonder if you could help me brainstorm."
As he spoke, Yang Lin picked up a pen and paper, and began to sketch while explaining his design concept for the new park.
"I plan to make a completely new attempt in this new park. Old-fashioned zoos used to keep animals in cages, which is not conducive to animals displaying their natural behavior."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, Designer Wu reacted.
"Director Yang means to imitate those open-range zoos, letting the animals roam free and confining human visitors to the tour pathways, right?"
"Not entirely," Yang Lin shook his head. "That would diminish the visitor experience a bit."
"My idea is that both visitors and animals should be in an open environment."
As soon as Yang Lin proposed this idea, Designer Wu was stunned.
"Director Yang, you mean zero-distance contact between humans and animals?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid no visitors would dare to come."
"Hehe, pretty much. Everyone knows that the animals at Xihong Zoo are famously non-aggressive."
"However, considering that visitors might harm the animals, my idea is to build elevated sky bridges throughout the entire park.
"These sky bridges will connect to every area of the park and will be about 10 meters above the ground. If visitors want to get close to the animals, they can descend to the animal habitats through the sky bridge pathways.
"Then, they can interact with the animals through glass tunnels.
"This way, animals will have ample space to move around, and visitors can get closer to the animals."
As Yang Lin elaborated on his specific ideas, Designer Wu's eyes lit up.
