It took a year to watch the entire show. I felt that I was a little sloppy in watching it, so I went back and chewed each episode carefully. I found that each episode will give a lot of information, like this episode, Stalin had a heart attack, the reaction of the company colleagues, customers, bosses to Stalin, to Tang. There are also the actions of some high-level family members. Every minute has a meaningful story in it. Peggy's career has just started, but she will make some unpopular behaviors later, but at this time, she is not (hen) wrong (diao).

- Bold, not afraid of anyone, protecting personal interests, his character is really handsome!
The opening was when she called her mother to talk about the blind date. Obviously she didn't want to go. Joni heard this. Peggy was not timid when facing her, but asked her if she was eavesdropping on her call.

- In other words, Bole is very important. This person does not have to be your mentor, but he will discover your talents and recommend you. This person is also a noble person! At work, it is a blessing to have noble people to help you.
For Peppa, Freddie is her nobility. From the first time when Freddy took the lipstick product questionnaire, Freddy discovered what made Peggy different from other female assistants, to recommending her to be the creative lead for weight loss products, Freddy frequently recommended Tang this fat and ugly The Bachelorette is a testament to the importance Freddie played in Paige's path to becoming a copywriter.

—Whether it is a genius or an idiot, whether it is a scholar or a scumbag, whether it is in the past or now, no matter what industry you are in, the timing is here! close! Heavy! want!
When the time is right, good things come naturally. When she delivered ice water to Tang, it happened that Tang was discussing the next weight loss products with the people in the creative department. Her gigantic physique will inevitably be ridiculed by these vulgar men. However, these are not the point. The point is that when she came in, they were researching a product for women, and Freddie happened to be in it, and he happened to appreciate her, so the opportunity naturally landed on Peppa.

-The noble person will help you get started, and the tutor will take you for a while. With the right people, the future is bright!
There is a scene in which Peggy is negotiating terms with Tang. Pei Qi felt that she had more tasks and more important things to do, and wanted to talk to Tang about a salary increase. To begin with, add a table and put a radio as a foreshadowing to prove that she is different now. As an old fritters, Tang saw through this little trick at once, and let her speak out her ideas as boldly as she was talking about creativity. So she asked for a raise. At this time, it happened that Tang was suddenly told by Cooper that he would become a partner of the company with a 12% stake. Naturally, the happy event has to be shared with the people closest to him, so good things have come to Peggy, and a raise is logical. At this point, look again at Pete's female assistant. In the first season, Pete showed himself as a small-bellied chicken intestine and a very competitive image. Naturally, his unsatisfactory mood must be shared with the people closest to him. Pete often slaps her face, and he will be ridiculed by them while doing his job with peace of mind. (Speaking of this, it seems that he has nothing to do with the tutor, and he continued) When Tang received the first product use report submitted by Pei Qi, Tang mentioned her; when he submitted the second report, Tang again told her where to cut it. How to cut it off, why it is cut off, how to extend which part, and in what way to express the characteristics of the product. Although it is a simple two sentences, it is a veteran's experience with many years of fighting, which is very valuable to a rookie who is hunting for food.

- If the right time, place and people account for 50%, then effort and talent also account for 50%
. There is such a dialogue when Peppa and the upstart who drives the truck are eating in the restaurant. The upstart is showing off how he is the boss and how he is successful in the countryside; while Peggy says her own creativity is promoted as a famous brand slogan, she is independent and has her own rented apartment; when it comes to potato chips, Peggy said that our company serves a customer who makes potato chips, and the upstart asked her: Can you eat potato chips for free? I can! In the end, a contented type and an aggressive type quarrel over differences in values. The upstart said: Don't think you get off at Grand Central Station every day, you are a Manhattanite, and you are far worse than a Manhattanite. Paige stood up and said: At least the Manhattanites are better than us, they are always chasing things they have not experienced. In a word, it shows the ambition of a professional woman.

Although she only appeared 5-6 times in this episode, each time a few minutes, but it was enough to show Peggy's image and personality.

Mad Men quotes

  • Pete Campbell: A thing like that!

  • Don Draper: Advertising is based on one thing: happiness. You know what happiness is? Happiness is smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing, its okay. You are okay.
