Chapter 46: Yenching University's Promotional Video!
Inside the dormitory...
Every room accommodated only one bed and one desk per person, and the concept of an independent bathroom was unimaginable. Students had to go to the communal bathhouse, which required a prepaid card for hot water, and those who took longer showers would spend a considerable amount of money each time.
"Up ahead is the school plane stop that everyone's been curious about," Qin Mu continued, offering a reassuring smile.
Pointing to the front, he directed the audience's attention to several large runways. Next to them was a stop resembling a bus station.
"According to the plan, Shanhe University has purchased nine small passenger planes to connect the four campuses, with runways and stops set up on 30 mountains. A school plane will arrive at the stop every 15 minutes. By using your Shanhe University school card, you can board the plane for free with unlimited trips throughout the day," Qin Mu explained the operation of Shanhe University's school transportation system.
Like a bus service, nine small passenger planes followed a regular schedule, stopping at stations to transport passengers to their destinations. The entire process took just five minutes, making it extremely convenient.
"Do you see those ten parked planes over there?" Qin Mu pointed towards the parked aircraft. "It's unbelievable! I've never heard of a university with an airstrip."
"Flying to class every day and traveling between mountains sounds exhilarating!"
"Don't get too excited; Shanhe University only recruits students from the four provinces of Shan. What's the use of dreaming if you're from Sichuan?"
In the live broadcast room, hundreds of thousands of viewers expressed their enthusiasm and fascination with the school's unique transportation system.
"It's time to fill out the application in three days. Shanhe University, here I come!"
Observing the barrage, Qin Mu continued his calm promotion.
To fulfill his mission in the system, Qin Mu needed to attract as many as 8,000 students.
The audience humorously urged him to show more sincerity in his pitch.
"Look at the university next door. The principal is dancing and even called me handsome!"
The discussion turned to Yenching University's latest news about releasing an admissions promotional video.
"Bro, maybe you should reconsider your choice based on your test scores."
In the studio, the barrage suddenly multiplied, filling the entire screen.
It appeared that every university was putting in maximum effort to attract students.
"Even the principal came out... to dance?"
Qin Mu was taken aback, and a few black lines appeared on his face.
Soon after, Qin Mu checked for updates on each school's dynamics using his mobile phone. He realized that every school had recorded an admissions promotional video to attract applicants, highlighting their unique features and campus life.
The promotional videos were contemporary, incorporating regional dialects, romantic narratives, internet humor, memes, and more.
"This is quite peculiar," Qin Mu shook his head, feeling a bit bemused. "This is quite different from what I expected."
"Ding! The host's audience engagement has triggered a new live broadcast challenge: '[Shanhe University Promotional Video].'"
"[Shanhe University Promotional Video]: The host is tasked with shooting and recording Shanhe University's promotional video within one day, posting it on the internet, and achieving a 90% approval rating."
"Mission Reward: 2000 challenge points."
A new mission suddenly appeared in his mind, alerting him to the challenge's requirements.
"Shooting... a promotional video?"
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, staring at the system panel.
The task demanded that he complete it within one day and garner a 90% approval rating across the internet. The difficulty was evident, but the rewards were generous—a substantial 2000 challenge points.
"Let's do it!"
After considering the pros and cons, Qin Mu made up his mind to create a promotional video for Shanhe University. It was a chance to earn challenge points, but also an opportunity to promote the university to potential applicants.
That night, after downloading various university promotional videos, Qin Mu reviewed them in his temporary shelter on the construction site. He observed that the promotional videos from Yenching University and Qingbei University were the most exceptional, taking the form of microfilms with impressive cinematography and storytelling. The videos boasted high production quality and outshone even regular cinema films.
After watching them, Qin Mu found himself moved and had a fleeting urge to apply to these universities.
The promotional videos of these two universities garnered over 5 million views on the internet, with hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands of comments. They were immensely popular.
"Surpassing these two promotional videos... will be quite a challenge," Qin Mu muttered, feeling a bit perplexed.
