In the spacious and bright conference room of "Muse" magazine, a total of more than 20 editors are sitting in the order in which they are responsible for the sections. At the top of the conference table, there was a mature and stable man who looked in his thirties. He didn't speak, but just kept listening to the arguments from the people below.
"This set of photos is really great, but just relying on Ren Huaqing's recommendation, how can it be used as an inner cover so recklessly? The inner cover of "Muse" has always been a supermodel or an international first-line star. This simile is not qualified. "
"Hewlett Hill also strongly recommended this set of photos, and he made it blunt that he wished we could use these photos not only on the feature section, but on the cover."
"Edith doesn't have high requirements for cover models, but that's the United States, and China is different. Let's not talk about us, just the "Suyi" downstairs, they have been established for more than 100 years, and they have never used it. A first-line model is used as a cover or an inside character, should we make an exception?"
…
Since the June issue of "Muse" magazine will go on sale next week, the editorial meeting this Monday was full of controversy. It was discussed from 9:00 in the morning to nearly 11:00.
At the beginning, everyone discussed the issue of the cover first. This is not a big opinion. They have already hired a supermodel to shoot the cover, and now they just choose which photo to use. As for the inner cover, at first "Miao Miao" s" is intended to follow a well-established custom—
If there are no special characters on the inside cover, the inside cover and the cover use the same model's photo.
This time, however, someone raised an objection. There is no need to say much about this objection, that is to recommend the use of simile photos as cover characters.
"Muse", since its inception in 1966, has developed rapidly in the fashion circle with the help of the towering tree of Muse Modeling Agency. The world's top five magazines, "Muse" is the youngest, but its influence is no less than the other four magazines.
The cover characters of the five top magazines can only be supermodels, and they are supermodels on the world's supermodel rankings.
In addition, the inner characters of "Muse" have always been supermodels, but ordinary supermodels may not be able to get on this inner cover.
It has been more than a month since the last issue of the World Supermodel Organization announced the list of supermodels. There are a total of 370 supermodels in the world in front of them. In one month, a new list will be released. In this published list, there is absolutely no name for Ming Yu. It is assumed that his name has been set in the next supermodel list at this time, but it does not affect the fact that he is only a first-line model now.
No matter how top you are and your strength is outstanding, you are only a frontline before you are on the list of supermodels.
Therefore, this time the debate within the magazine stems from this issue.
All the editors admit that Ming Yu's set of photos is quite good, even better than their cover this time. But for conservative editors, no matter how good it is, Ming Yu is only a first-line model, how can he be on the inner cover
As for the editors of the reform faction, Ren Huaqing and Hewlett Hill both gave such high evaluations. At the same time, you all always agree that this set of photos is very good. Why can't you abandon the old views and accept this set What about group photos
For this issue, this group of fashion editors who used to talk and laugh with grace and grace have been arguing for a long time. These people are all editors of "Muse", and they can at least become associate editors in any second-tier magazine, but when these elites are on the top of their heads, 10,000 elephants can't pull them back.
It was not until 12 o'clock, when lunch was about to be eaten, that the man sitting at the head of the conference table coughed softly, attracting the attention of everyone present.
After the audience was silent and all looked at the man quietly, the latter nodded with a smile and asked, "Are you hungry?"
As soon as these words fell, the entire conference room fell silent, and no one dared to say a word.
After sighing lightly, the man smiled elegantly and said, "Since I'm not hungry, let's continue talking. Ming Yu, I recommended him, this time, no matter what, I have to take responsibility for his affairs. of."
Speaking of this, the man looked down, and after seeing no objection, he continued to speak calmly: "I believe in Hewlett Hill's vision, and I believe in my own vision. Top magazines have never There has been an incident of a first-line model serving as an internal character, so why can't our "Muse" be the first? From the beginning, whether it is "edith" or "Erica", even the "Suyi" downstairs, I always thought that our Muse lacked their hundreds of years of heritage, and that we were not enough to be side by side with them."
"...Our sales are better than "Suyi"..." Finally, an editor couldn't help but whispered.
The man smiled in a low voice and nodded lightly: "Well, our sales are indeed better than "Su Yi", because we dare to be more innovative than it. In this way, you don't have to argue, I call the shots, and use Ming Yu's set The photo is considered an inside seal."
As soon as these words landed, the conservative editors became excited again. They looked at each other for a while, and finally sent a representative to give their opinions: "But editor Song, is our current behavior a little too far ahead? I still think this behavior is a little bit. Reckless..."
Unexpectedly, just after the editor's words were over, Song Chuci's dangerous gaze swept over there. His eyes were cold and indifferent, and there was a faint smile on his face, but the smile seemed to be unable to reach the bottom of his eyes.
Seeing this, Song Chuci sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to remember that no matter how well "Muse" develops, we are also called "Muse". Ming Yu is a newcomer supported by Muse, and he is very optimistic about it. , Although we have to keep a distance from the Muse, we will always be a magazine under the Muse."
After a pause, Song Chuci's face slowly softened, and she asked with a smile, "Do you still remember this?"
The editors at the conference table lowered their heads and whispered, "Remember."
So far, the editors discussed a morning's question, and they were given a sentence by Song Chuci. After everyone left the conference room, Song Chuci sat alone in the spacious and silent room, took off the silver wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and pressed his sore temple.
After a while, he made a phone call, and after getting a calm "what's the matter, is there something wrong?", Song Chuci smiled and said to the phone, "Your muse, you are going to be an insider in the next issue of the magazine."
After a pause on the phone, Xi Zecai asked in a low voice, "What did you do?"
Song Chuci shook her head gently: "It's your muse's own strength, I'm just pushing it. They've been arguing for too long, but the overall situation has been settled, I can't be bothered to listen to them any more, so I'll tell them the decision. already."
"Thanks a lot."
"I dare not accept your thanks, Mr. Xi."
There was another brief silence on Xi Ze's side. After a while, he said, "I have brought you back to China, and I should have returned to the imperial capital a few days ago."
As soon as these words landed, the gentle and handsome Song Chuci opened his eyes wide, and after a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous smile appeared on his lips, and said softly: "...Well, then I really appreciate your help, Xi Ze. ."
After communicating for a while, the two of them had nothing to say, so they hung up the phone.
On the top floor of the towering Muse Building, Xi Ze picked up the brush again, and lightly drew on the paper, as if nothing had happened just now. And right in front of him, Ding Bo gave a horrified face and stammered: "The call just now was... Song Chuci?!"
Xi Ze didn't lift his head, "Yeah."
"Did he have something to do with Ming Yu when he called you?"
As early as the third day after Xi Ze and Ming Yu were together, Ding Bo did everything possible to learn about the insider information. Anyway, Ming Yu and the two had no intention of concealing it, and even Ding Bo wanted to threaten Xi Ze with this news.
Faced with this question, Xi Ze made another "um" without concealment.
With this affirmation, Ding Bo's mind began to spin rapidly. But after a moment, he exclaimed: "You actually used your private power to make Ming Yu the cover character of "Muse"?! This is too exaggerated. Is there such a show of love as you, Xi Ze!"
Hearing this, Xi Ze finally put down the paintbrush in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "I am this kind of person?"
Ding Bo had a look on his face, "Hehe, I don't speak, but you can tell by looking at my expression."
Xi Ze raised his thin lips with a low smile, and said in a long tone: "If I am really such a person, then today, you should meet him in this studio. Instead of me in the imperial capital, he ran to S city. , to endorse a so-called 'Philippine'."
Ding Bo: “… (/=＿=)/～┴┴”
