The founder of the charity organization, Miranda, has been a good friend of Mr. Oswald for many years. It was because of this relationship that she was able to invite Laila through Mr. Oswald, hoping that she could shoot a series of public service advertisements for the charity organization.
Choosing Laila was not only because she was a renowned photographer, but also because she was a talented planner. Moreover, it was because of the achievements she had made as a woman. Miranda thought, since Laila could make such outstanding movies and take such great photos, couldn't she also make some decent promotional images?
Miranda didn't expect the work to be classic; it just needed to be passable. With Laila's reputation for promotion, even if they just put a few blank pieces of paper on the advertising space, as long as they said it was her work, it would surely attract a lot of attention.
But what's happening now? While others managed to get the advertisement done in their spare time and even sent it in advance, their people spent two days and still couldn't come up with a set of promotional plans. Just because it's charity work, are they so lax in their work? Weren't they the kind of people who had always been passionate about charity work?
Receiving consecutive calls from various departments, the people in the publicity department also felt innocent. They really didn't intentionally slack off, but were wavering between happiness and pain.
Miranda's call made them feel like they had seen a family member and immediately complained, "It's not that we can't choose, it's just too difficult to choose!"
"What's so difficult about it? We don't need much, at most three pieces, and if necessary, even one passable piece will do. You all know that our main goal is to use Laila Moran's reputation." They didn't expect her to produce any remarkable works.
Of course, Miranda didn't say the last sentence out of embarrassment. If Mr. Oswald heard about it and came to argue with her, that old man's praise for his granddaughter had already reached an uncontrollable level.
"No, Miranda, it's not that we can't pick out outstanding works, it's that every one of them is too good. We have serious internal disagreements, which is why we still haven't reached a decision."
"Is it so?" Miranda knew that the people in the publicity department were truly capable individuals. With her connections, she would not place people who were only enthusiastic but lacked ability in the team. This also meant that the works Laila sent were really that good, so good that the entire publicity department couldn't reach a unified goal.
"Laila, how many works did she give in total?"
"There are a total of ten works, some of which are series."
"So many?" When Miranda invited her, she only asked her to make some images for promotion, not requiring her to produce so many. "Did she misunderstand when I communicated with her? We don't need so many."
The people in the publicity department had the same question at first, so they went to find the person in charge of contacting Laila, and the result was that they had "completely told her according to the requirements."
"Miranda, we also spoke with Director Moran over the phone. She said she made so many because she had so many inspirations and didn't know which one to choose, so she just made them all for us to choose from."
The result was that the publicity department had been arguing for two days and still hadn't reached a decision on these works. It seemed that they would continue to argue in the future. Because the works were so excellent there was no way to determine which one was the best among them, and because of different aesthetic views, some people liked one thing while others liked another, leading to a situation where no one could convince anyone else.
Listening to the words of the publicity department, Miranda also felt a little overwhelmed, but she was more curious about the work. Because she was working on a charity project these days and was temporarily out of town, otherwise she would have been able to see those works firsthand. She was very curious about what those works looked like that had made these elites so difficult to make a decision.
"I will come over tomorrow morning, and let's have a meeting in the conference room then. We must settle this matter, otherwise, time will really not be enough."
Miranda thought that perhaps Laila's works were of similar quality, which had made it so difficult for them to make a decision. Or perhaps they couldn't find a way to convince others to agree with their decision. These people were all elites with high education and experience in publicity, and there had to be someone who could make a decision and unify their opinions.
She was the best candidate for this, as she was the founder and leader of this charity organization. However, when she came to the conference room the next day and saw those works, she understood why the publicity department had not been able to make a final decision.
After seeing all the work, Miranda sat in her seat for a long time without saying a word. Her heart was still immersed in the works she had just seen, and her mind was almost bursting from the impact of those shocking images.
"This is really...," she deeply sighed, "too great."
She used the word "great," which showed how strong the impact on her soul was.
No wonder they couldn't make a decision. Even if it were her, she wouldn't be able to pick out three pieces from these excellent works. She felt that no matter which ones she gave up, it would be a great regret.
"What should we do?" She looked at the others in the conference room, keenly feeling their distress.
The people in the publicity department had originally hoped that Miranda could help them make a decision, but upon hearing her question, they knew that this wish was impossible.
But they also understood her feelings; they were all in the same situation, and no one should laugh at anyone else. No one else could understand her current feelings better than they did.
"Miranda, if it's not possible, why not use them all?" Originally, they planned to use one image for comprehensive coverage, allowing everyone to subconsciously become familiar with the image, thereby achieving a memorable effect.
"If possible, I would also like to use them all. But our current funds..." Miranda was a bit worried. The amount of donations she received each year seemed like a lot, but when allocated to various aspects, it seemed insufficient. Doing charity work to help others required money, whether it was for treatment, placement, or helping victims get rid of their troubles, all of which required a certain amount of funds.
Although many people were willing to provide their services for free, for an increasing number of applicants, these funds were already tight.
Originally, they planned to use three million to advertise in various places, and the result was that they received special treatment in various aspects. However, if they were to release all of Laila's works, the effect would be very good, but the cost would also increase significantly, which was something they were not easily able to afford.
"How about holding another charity event to raise some funds?" someone suggested.
