Chapter 2573 Disappointment
Consul Zhang, who was still holding Feng Yiping's hand, had an unchanged expression, "Haha, we must listen to Mr. Feng's opinion,"
"When will our propaganda be able to be persuasive and inspiring?"
"I just can't figure out, in what era, why is our propaganda still so pale, empty, stiff, and lacking in human touch?"
"Why is it still so stereotyped, never considering the historical, cultural, economic and social background of the audience, and the same tone at home and abroad?" Without considering whether Consul Zhang was just being polite, Feng Yiping immediately spoke up.
"It's obvious that those serfs are directly turning over and becoming human beings, and it's obvious that they are receiving preferential treatment and support from all sides, so that their lives are changing with each passing day. With such ironclad facts as the basis, so many people abroad actually support those guys who fled to India,"
"It's obvious that we have more people, we have more money, and we have more platforms and channels for propaganda..."
He shook his head, "I really don't know what our diplomatic propaganda people have done over the years,"
This is really what Feng Yiping really thinks.
If we compare the work of our diplomatic propaganda department with the propaganda work of the small group of people who fled to India, we are currently at most at the level of a county-level state-owned enterprise. We generally do not publicize, and even if we do, we just shout out clichés such as "provincial excellence and ministerial excellence".
But the propaganda level of the other party has at least reached the level of the world's top 500 companies. They will discuss their pursuits with you from the perspective of humanities and social care, and from the perspective of the common vision of all mankind.
Consul Zhang listened to Feng Yiping's words very seriously, nodded while listening, and smiled and said to the people he brought with him, "See, I said that Mr. Feng spent so much effort to hold such a banquet just to help us,"
However, he could laugh. After listening to Feng Yiping's words, only a few of the people who came with him could still force a smile on their faces.
"Mr. Feng, our colleagues at the embassy and consulate are very grateful for your enthusiastic help and for standing up at this time,"
"It's not about helping. This is what I want to do. I really can't stand it. I can't understand why we are the protagonists of this Olympics. From the recent situation, it seems that we are setting the stage and letting a small group of people perform?" Feng Yiping said.
Consul Zhang didn't laugh this time. "There are indeed some problems in our publicity work, so that we are facing such a passive situation. This is very worthy of our review,"
Feng Yiping waved his hand and took a glass of wine from the waiter who passed by.
Consul Zhang said so, what else can he say? After all, he is not their superior.
"Mr. Feng," a middle-aged man who came with Consul Zhang and looked very elegant, pushed his glasses and looked at Feng Yiping and said, "There are indeed areas in our work that need to be reviewed to cause the current situation, but we are also facing very great difficulties,"
"Many Western countries and media still have prejudices against us, and the essence behind these prejudices is that they are actually unwilling to see us surpass them, so they will seize every opportunity they can to restrict us and cause trouble for us..."
Feng Yiping choked back all his words with one sentence, "Only losers will find excuses,"
The man made a "uh" sound and opened his mouth several times, but could not say anything.
Feng Yiping admitted that this person should be a propaganda official and was telling the truth, but what he hated most was those people and styles who analyzed the reasons very clearly but only used them to defend themselves at various meetings.
He is not a firm result-oriented person, but in this matter, he insists on this point of view, "Why have we not made any progress in this regard after so many years?"
The person who spoke just now had a red and blue face, and his wine glass was shaking violently. He was obviously on the verge of anger, while the others either lowered their heads or looked away.
Facing the current result, there are some things that are really shameless to say.
Feng Yiping did not even look at the person who was very angry with his two words, "Consul Zhang, look, just say this time, we shouted "One World, One Dream", we may be very moved, but how many Westerners can resonate with it?"
Who shares the same dream with you?
At this time, the phone rang, and he looked to the side when he saw the caller. Owen saw him looking over and lowered his head.
Feng Yiping turned it off casually, "Also, after the torch relay in London, our spokespersons' speeches were passionate and righteous, but, after all, what's the use of just a few original words?"
"I think it would be more convincing if we simply put a few photos comparing the old and new ones,"
Consul Zhang nodded again, "We should indeed change some of our working methods. Mr. Feng, you answer the phone and don't delay your work,"
Feng Yiping looked at the ringing phone and turned it off again, "It's okay,"
"We have decided to increase publicity on the Internet platform, including your Facebook and YouTube," Consul Zhang said.
Feng Yiping did not comment.
In the past few years, we spent so much resources to put all the institutions online, but now, how many of them still look the same as the day they went online?
It is true that we will not miss the hot spots, but our approach is often to think that if we seize the hot spots, we will keep pace with the times and everything will be fine.
Social networks and video websites are indeed good promotional platforms, but registering an account does not mean that you can achieve something in this area.
In terms of traditional publicity, which we are actually quite good at, we are currently at a disadvantage, let alone online?
Among those who promote the topic, how many of them will take the effort to study the preferences of netizens and carry out targeted work?
Feng Yiping estimated that after the enthusiasm of the first three minutes, it was probably the same as the script. Expecting them to be more active, haha, does not exist.
That's a good saying. Hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely be very comfortable. How good would it be to be comfortable with the overseas subsidy?
The phone rang again, "Mr. Feng, please answer the call and don't worry about us," Consul Zhang said.
"It's okay," as soon as Feng Yiping finished speaking, Wu Qian came over. "Sorry to bother you," she said to the people at the consulate, and then whispered to Feng Yiping, "Mr. Feng, Downey and the others want to see you."
"Oh?" Feng Yiping turned around and saw that Robert Downey Jr. and several other people were looking at him. When he saw him looking over, they raised their glasses to him.
It seems that there are quite a lot of people over there.
"Sorry, Consul Zhang, everyone, I have to go over for a while,"
"Mr. Feng, you are busy," Consul Zhang stood up quickly, "Thank you again for providing us with such a platform,"
Feng Yiping held his hand and said, "I'm sorry, some of my words just now may have been a bit extreme..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Consul Zhang clapped his hand, "We know and understand that deep love brings deep responsibility!" he said.
Feng Yiping nodded, as long as he understood, "I would also like to remind you that at today's banquet, it is best not to be too utilitarian,"
He was really worried that some consulate staff would catch a celebrity and ask him to stand up and support us.
There was no friendship before, and there was no exchange of interests between the two, so why would people agree?
This is a bit like when you meet a girl for the first time, you exchange names, and you hug her and start chewing her immediately... That will definitely not gain anything, it will only make people feel disgusted and stay away from her.
"I can do the specific work better,"
"Thank you, Mr. Feng," Consul Zhang shook Feng Yiping's hand again.
"Don't worry, our main task today is to get to know them. At most, we can just make friends."
Consul Zhang was still looking at the back of Feng Yiping, who was walking toward the star over there. The person who just spoke said again, "If he could tell us about the banquet in advance, we would definitely be able to make better use of this opportunity..."
Consul Zhang turned around and said, "We cannot take such rare help for granted, comrade!"
"How many people would be like Mr. Feng and work so hard for something like this?"
"Tell you in advance, how will you make better use of it? Facing those celebrities, will you be more convincing than Mr. Feng?"
"Not Mr. Feng, how can you have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with so many famous celebrities?"
He lowered his voice and tried his best to keep the smile on his face. He looked at that person and the faces of his other colleagues, "When can we stop looking for excuses for our own poor performance in other people and other things?" ?”
Although he smiled, his disappointment was palpable.
Over there, Feng Yiping smiled and waved to Robert Downey Jr. and the others, and pressed the call button. Jin Ling's voice came over immediately, "You finally answered..."
