Chapter 221 Learning and mastering multiple languages
Cheng Wei came back to her senses from her shock at this time. She had gone through a lot of trouble to invite Zeng Zong from abroad. Before that, she had done special research and found that apart from Cheng Ye, there was almost no one in the country who could surpass Zeng Zong's popularity.
But she first ruled out Cheng Ye because, in her impression, Cheng Ye had not learned multiple languages systematically and did not meet Xu Mo's rigid requirement of being fluent in multiple languages.
I originally thought I had a sure win, but I never expected that Xu Mo would automatically skip the rigid language requirement. Without even being able to guarantee whether Cheng Ye was capable of a smooth filming, he hastily chose to cooperate with Cheng Ye?
Cheng Wei felt that she had lost for no apparent reason. "Mr. Xu, Xiaoye and Fan Youyou don't know many languages, and you also clearly requested that the original sound be used to shoot the advertising video. Isn't this decision too hasty?"
"Did I say I can't?" Cheng Ye's tone was light, without any pressure at all.
Everyone present was shocked, especially Cheng Wei. She looked at Cheng Ye in disbelief and shook her head fiercely, "Impossible! You have to balance study and work, and practice fighting at night. Where do you find the extra time to learn multiple languages?!"
Cheng Wei didn't believe it at all. Xu Mo had just recently decided to find a suitable person in China to endorse the advertisement of luxury men's watches. From the time the news came out to Cheng Ye's ears, the time was very tight. Cheng Ye simply didn't have that much time to learn multiple languages!
Besides, even if you want to learn, can you learn it just by wanting to? !
It is not realistic to learn the languages of more than ten countries in a short period of time!!
Thinking about this, Cheng Wei believed that Cheng Ye was deliberately making things difficult for her. He had some complaints against the Cheng family, so he was deliberately trying to make her unhappy today.
Cheng Wei was a little angry, "Xiao Ye, today is a very important occasion, and you should know when to joke."
Not only Cheng Wei thought so, everyone else present thought Cheng Ye was joking.
They admitted that Cheng Ye was gifted in learning, but how was it possible for him to learn multiple languages in such a short time?
Chi Mu trembled, it was all over!
He knew his boss spoke good English, but he also knew more than a dozen other languages.
Chi Mu had never heard of this, but the boss can speak multiple languages!!
There was dead silence.
Xu Mo was hesitant and broke the silence, "Cheng Ye, it doesn't matter if you don't know multiple languages."
At this point, Xu Mo looked at Fan Youyou who was standing next to Cheng Ye. "I'll find some suitable voice actors when the time comes. Fan Youyou, just lip sync directly."
Fan Youyou was so shocked that she was speechless. Right, lip syncing?
If you just need to lip sync, the difficulty will drop several levels.
Chi Muren was stunned. Didn't Mr. Xu just ask for the original sound? Why did he lower the difficulty now?!
Cheng Wei frowned tightly, she was very unhappy, "Boss Xu, what do you mean? We agreed on the hard requirements, but you directly lowered the requirements for Cheng Ye's artists to shoot the commercial smoothly?!"
Xu Mo straightened his expression and said, "It's not impossible. The strong can change the rules. Miss Cheng, you should understand this better than me."
Cheng Wei's expression changed again and again, and she couldn't think of any rebuttal for a long time.
Chu's father and mother originally wanted to say a few words for their daughter and then strive for cooperation with the brand.
But Chu Xiyan was not happy about it. She didn't want to compete face to face with Cheng Ye.
In desperation, Chu's father and mother had to give up their fight.
City Mayor Xie Qianxun watched them argue quietly, since he had already withdrawn from the competition anyway.
The eldest brother Xie Jiuxiao held his chin with both hands, yawned out of boredom, and muttered softly, "Dad, it's not a big deal if we don't get this cooperation and can't get in touch with the dark forces abroad. It's enough for us to hold on to the boss's thigh."
Xie Qianxun: “…”
The second brother Xie Zeyu looked at his eldest brother's failure and said, "You treat Jiang Mian as the boss, but does Jiang Mian treat you as a younger brother?"
Xie Jiuxiao disagreed, "The boss asked me to protect those hooligans with colorful hair, so of course he treats me as his little brother."
Xie Zeyu smiled bitterly, "Jiang Mian just didn't want to take care of them, so he just threw them to you. Brother, don't be so self-indulgent."
Xie Jiuxiao was speechless. He raised his palm and punched Xie Zeyu, "Stop talking nonsense and watch the show carefully."
Xie Zeyu was punched in the eye and his eyes instantly turned into panda eyes. He was about to punch back when he suddenly heard Zeng Zong's fluent foreign language in his ears.
Xie Zeyu looked over subconsciously.
Zeng Zong read the advertising slogan given by Xu Mo in fluent and pure foreign language without any lag throughout.
Immediately afterwards, Zeng Zong translated the advertising slogans into languages of other countries. The whole process was still smooth and the translation was accurate.
Cheng Wei smiled confidently and said, "Xiaoye, it's your turn. Or should you let Fan Youyou perform?"
Cheng Ye said calmly: "I'll do it."
Cheng Wei never believed that Cheng Ye could speak multiple languages.
However, what surprised her was that Cheng Ye not only accurately translated the advertising slogan into more than 20 languages, but also translated it more precisely and authentically than Zeng Zong's.
Chu Xiyan listened to Cheng Ye's translation in a daze. She was shocked.
Cheng Ye grew up in an orphanage until he was 15 years old. In the three years since he was brought back to the Cheng family, she had never heard that Cheng Ye could speak multiple languages.
Could it be that Cheng Ye has recently learned multiple languages? !
Chu Xiyan's eyes were filled with admiration, and the feeling of love slowly lingered in her heart.
Xu Mo was extremely surprised. "Cheng Ye, your learning talent makes me feel inferior! Netizens say that you are a rare genius in a century! It's true!"
He had already lowered his requirements and didn't expect Cheng Ye to be able to speak multiple languages, but he didn't expect that Cheng Ye could actually bring him an unexpected surprise.
The ones who were hit hardest were Cheng Wei and Zeng Zong.
They wanted to use their own advantages to find something to hold against Cheng Ye, but they found out that Cheng Ye didn't have any.
Cheng Wei was filled with mixed emotions. Xiaoye was only 18 years old, but his achievements had already surpassed 99% of his peers.
What other abilities does Xiaoye have that she hasn't discovered yet? !
Xu Mo smiled from ear to ear. He was quite curious, "Cheng Ye, can you share with us when did you start learning these twenty languages? How much time and energy did it take?"
Cheng Ye told the truth, "Last night."
Xu Mo felt that the world was magical, "...Huh?"
The pupils of the people around him trembled. Yesterday, yesterday? Or last night?!
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake and didn't say last year?!
Xu Mo felt like he was just making up the numbers in this world, "Cheng Ye, how come you learn so fast? It's fucking unscientific!"
Cheng Ye replied lazily, "It's OK, because I have a photographic memory, so I learn efficiently. Different languages of different countries do not require much comprehension. Just remember how to write and read, and then understand the language and culture of different countries, and that's it."
Xu Mo: “…???”
Why did Cheng Ye feel as if this was as easy as breathing? !
Study last night, master it last night?!
Could it be that Cheng Ye had learned several languages last night just because of today's dinner?!
abnormal!
So perverted! !
Cheng Wei frowned and said, "Cheng Ye, even if you can speak multiple languages, Fan Youyou can't. Are you planning to endorse it yourself? If so, why did you call Fan Youyou over?"
Fan Youyou unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with both hands.
Xu Mo smiled brightly, "Cheng Ye, you are the perfect spokesperson for this."
Cheng Ye refused calmly, "School is about to start, I don't have that much time."
He has to go abroad to shoot the commercial and he doesn't have the time.
Xu Mo was very surprised. "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that you are still a student after school starts."
Horror!
Which student can do what Cheng Ye did?
Cheng Ye said, "Mr. Xu, shooting advertising videos in different languages involves choosing a shooting location, which takes a certain amount of time. Although Fan Youyou can't do it now, as long as she can do it before the shooting, it will be fine."
"Anyway, it's nothing more than the same Chinese advertising slogan that needs to be translated into a dozen different languages. You don't need to be proficient in any language to shoot these ads well." Cheng Ye added, "If Fan Youyou has unsolvable language problems, it's no problem for her to ask the staff present or ask me directly."
Cheng Ye said in a steady voice, "We can even hire a specialized language teacher. If we have enough time, we can learn it as long as we want to."
Xu Mo looked at Cheng Ye a few more times. Cheng Ye was smarter than he thought.
The rest have focused on multilingual proficiency.
In reality, shooting multilingual advertising videos does not require proficiency in any language.
Even though it's in multiple languages, the advertising slogans are limited in content, and filming won't start soon.
For an actor like Fan Youyou who has a solid command of dialogue, memorizing different language versions of the same advertising slogan is not as difficult as imagined if there is enough time.
Thinking of this, Xu Mo looked at Cheng Ye with new eyes, "Okay, I don't have any worries now. Do you have any questions for me?"
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "About the advertising fee for the endorsement."
Xu Mo smiled generously, "Okay, okay, we'll discuss it in detail in private later."
When Cheng Wei heard the conversation between Cheng Ye and Xu Mo, she knew that the two had reached a complete cooperation and there was no room for redemption.
She felt a heavy depression in her chest, unable to describe the complicated feelings she was having at the moment.
When Cheng's father arrived abroad, he sent her messages and made phone calls to give her instructions.
This cooperation is very important and cannot be taken lightly.
She was on guard against everything, but she underestimated Xiaoye!!
Cheng Wei could never have imagined that Xiao Ye, who had left the Cheng family, would still be able to compete with her for cooperation resources.
Cheng Wei didn't enjoy the meal very much.
After the dinner, when the people around them had dispersed, Cheng Wei called out to Cheng Ye, "Xiao Ye, do you really have to snatch this brand cooperation from me?"
Cheng Ye's eyes were full of amusement, "Rob? How can you call it robbing when you haven't even owned it?"
"I either don't compete, or if I do, the only outcome is that I win."
Cheng Wei's heart tightened instantly, "Xiao Ye, are you still angry with me?"
Cheng Ye's eyebrows were cold, and he sneered, "I haven't settled the score with you for hacking into my office computer last time."
Cheng Wei's face suddenly turned pale, and she explained in a panic, "Xiao Ye, you misunderstood. I, I just wanted to understand you. The method I adopted may be a little extreme, but I definitely have no other intentions."
Cheng Ye was too lazy to reply.
The company's car arrived at the entrance of Kyoto Hotel.
Cheng Ye and three others got on the car.
He didn't look back, didn't take any photos, and left with cold eyes.
Cheng Wei stood there in a daze, unable to extricate herself from her surging thoughts for a long time.
After not knowing how much time had passed, Cheng Wei quickly called her father and told him what had happened.
Father Cheng was shocked. "What?! Xiaoye snatched the cooperative resources that should have belonged to us?!"
Cheng Wei was in a very bad mood. "Yes, from the beginning, President Xu's focus in the assessment was not on the artist's ability. As long as the popularity and power meet his expectations, there is no problem even if some standards are lowered."
Father Cheng couldn't believe it. "Isn't Zengzong, the one you chose, popular enough?"
Cheng Wei further explained why Cheng Ye was better, "At that time, I only paid attention to Zeng Zong's number of fans, which was basically the same as Xiao Ye's, but I ignored the fans' purchasing power. Xiao Ye's fans are more balanced in gender, age and age, while Zeng Zong's fans are mainly young women. However, most consumers of luxury men's watches are men, and young women rarely buy luxury men's watches."
Father Cheng frowned, "What about power? Xiaoye has left the Cheng family. What power can he have? At most, he is just a boss with some achievements in starting a business."
Cheng Wei sighed when she heard this, "Dad, he didn't say it directly during the conversation with Mr. Xu, but I roughly understood it. Mr. Xu must have cooperated with the Jiang family before."
Father Cheng's face suddenly changed.
"So he knows Jiang Mian. But I didn't expect Xiaoye to directly hint to President Xu."
Father Cheng's expression became even uglier. "Xiao Ye and Jiang Mian are in a relationship. President Xu knows it. This is one thing, but Xiao Ye took the initiative to hint to President Xu. This is another matter."
If I don't hint at it, the other party will think that even with Jiang Mian, Cheng Ye still wants to rely on himself to get the resources for this cooperation.
But the hint was telling the other party that Cheng Ye not only wanted to rely on himself, but also wanted to rely on Jiang Mian.
If you want to succeed in many big things, it is not enough to rely on your own efforts alone. There is no need to be pretentious. Why not use the personal connections you can get help from flexibly?
But it won’t work if you only rely on others.
Relying on yourself and relying on others, the two complement each other, can achieve the greatest effect.
Cheng Wei asked anxiously: "Dad, what should we do now?"
Father Cheng said in a serious tone, "What else can we do? The result cannot be changed. But we must pay close attention to Jiang Mian and not offend her."
"Now that I think about it carefully, I suddenly understand what happened. At the critical moment when I wanted the principal to order Xiaoye to drop out of school, the Jiang family suddenly donated the building and made many demands, not allowing the school to have a scandal of expelling students."
At this point, Father Cheng frowned, "It turns out that Jiang Mian has been behind this since then."
Hearing this, Cheng Wei was upset. "If Jiang Mian was just the daughter of the Jiang family, it wouldn't be so serious. After all, we know her identity, and we will definitely be more careful not to have conflicts with her in the future."
"But Dad, I can never guess Jiang Mian's true thoughts. What if she has another face? Her personality is unpredictable, then it will be too difficult to control her."
Father Cheng was not in a good mood either. "Let's just leave it at that. How much can a little girl do? She has Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and her brother Jiang Shiyan as her backers. Otherwise, she is just an ordinary girl."
Cheng Wei couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question, "Dad, what if Jiang Mian is the backer of the Jiang family?"
Father Cheng thought it was outrageous, "Impossible!!"
