After the dinner, Luo Peng deliberately rearranged Yu Siyang's itinerary and gave him a short vacation to rest.
Some time ago, after rushing to the show and the announcement, Yu Siyang, who was already thin, seemed to have lost the baby fat on his face. It was ten minutes, but Xue Chengxiu and his entire management team didn't think so.
So, at the end of the year, when such an artist was more busy, he actually took a few days off from his busy schedule. He could sleep until he woke up naturally every day, and then did one or two "tuition fees" and went to Mr. Ouyang's house to continue studying acting and lines.
Today's "tuition fee" is called "Dragon Car Sending Beauty". In fact, it is a lobster that takes the shrimp meat and turns it into a ball. After sizing and marinating, it is oiled in salad oil that is sautéed with ginger, and stir-fried with celery and ginkgo. Then, put it into the "Dragon Cart".
The name of this dish was chosen at random by the master—because I really can't think of a good name.
Lobster meat is easy to fry, as long as you have a good grasp of the heat. The focus of this dish is the carving of the "dragon carriage". The "dragon carriage" carved out of pumpkins requires a very high level of carving technology for chefs. When I asked him to practice, he carved hundreds of small pumpkins. Later, when he saw the pumpkins, his eyes were dizzy, but he practiced this carving very proficiently.
Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he took a small pumpkin to carve a "dragon carriage" early in the morning, and carved two. Mr. dinner.
Yu Siyang didn't know what Mr. Xue's reaction was when he received the "Dragon Car" for "Beautiful Lady", but Mr. Ouyang greatly appreciated his carving skills and said that he must put this "Dragon Car" on the Bogu shelf. Let all the old men and women who come to his house be envious and jealous.
Yu Siyang could only laugh and cry, it was carved from fresh pumpkins, and it wouldn't last long.
As soon as Mr. Ouyang heard it, he couldn't put it on for too long, and immediately said that when he went to the square dance at night, he must bring the "dragon carriage" to show it off.
During Yu Siyang's vacation time, the pace of life has slowed down significantly, but in the same city, the working group related to him is very busy, one of which is the "Mode Impression" magazine.
"Mode Impression" is published on the 8th of every month, but considering the logistics and distribution issues, it usually comes out on the 6th, and during the period before the publication, the magazines are all working overtime, and they are too busy. Take Venus.
In this Christmas special, cover editor Darcy and editor-in-chief Xu Yan quarreled again over the number of publications.
Xu Yan advocated publishing according to the number of publications in the past, but Darcy said that the number of publications should be reduced by at least half. The two confronted each other at the meeting, and the reasons were well-founded. Glancing around, waiting for his final decision.
It stands to reason that Xu Yan, as the editor-in-chief, has considerable decision-making power over the magazine, but since the internal reorganization of the magazine, a general manager has been parachuted into the air, and his rights have been vacated a lot, and the general manager seems to intend to train Xiong Shubiao and him. Play the ring.
This kind of thing has not happened once or twice. Many times, Xu Yan will feel tired, and even think about giving up the magazine that he made by himself. But thinking about the enthusiasm in those days, the stubbornness of not turning back if you didn't hit the south wall, the team of eight of them resolutely built a new magazine into one of the top five domestic magazines with this momentum, and Xu Yan didn't want to give up easily. .
In the end, the general manager made a final decision and took a compromise amount, and published it according to 70% of the average number of publications today.
After Xu Yan got this result, the meeting was silent all the time. When the meeting was over, he returned to his office and closed the door before showing a tired expression.
The reason why Xiong Shubiao wants to reduce the number of publications is very simple - Yu Si is just a masculine debut, the coffee shop is too small, and there are not many diehard fans, and the magazine is likely to be unsalable.
But everyone in the conference room seemed to have forgotten that this issue was pushed by the manufacturer, and they rashly reduced the number of publications without communicating with the manufacturer. If the manufacturer pursued serious investigations, the contract would be written in black and white, and they would be considered a breach of contract. .
It's just that these people pretend that they are one of the five major publications, and they bully newcomers when they catch them. Now even the financial masters, who are already insane, dare to offend them.
Xu Yan often wonders, how did "Mode Impression" become like this? The original ideas and dreams have been wiped out, so how far can this "MODE Impression" go? How long can you hold the shelf of one of the five major journals
On December 6th, the December Christmas special edition of "MODE Impression" with the theme of "Youth's Colorful Dreams" was printed and shipped as scheduled, and sent to various places through logistics. It will be officially sold in major bookstores and newsstands on December 8th. , the online purchase channel is also opened at the same time, allowing people who do not want to go offline to order directly online, and express delivery to their door.
And this network channel is another place that makes Xu Yan angry. Usually, they will pre-sell online in advance, and the pre-sale period is about half a month.
But this time, firstly because the shooting was delayed, the original time was delayed, and then the cover design was delayed, which delayed the pre-sale period. In the end, I had to give up the pre-sale and open the online purchase when the publication was published. aisle.
In fact, during the period before the publication, many people have already asked on the official Weibo why there is no pre-sale, but it cannot be said that it is caused by the internal conflict of the magazine, so the official can only pretend to be dead.
Fortunately, although Yu Siyang's fans were dissatisfied, they didn't say much. They just expressed their hope that the magazine will publish it as scheduled, and they will definitely buy it.
Now, the magazine has been sent to various places, just waiting for the data to come back.
Xu Yan lay tiredly on the sofa in the office, remembering what Xiong Shubiao said when he heard gossip about Xiong Shubiao and others outside the pantry just now—
"How much traffic can a small coffee just debut, the magazine can't sell, but it hits us in the face. Let me tell you, the general manager can't get used to editor Xu, his editor-in-chief is bigger than the general manager, and people can read it. Is he pleasing to the eye, no, it's not comfortable for him to always use me as a trick to find him."
"Darcy, if the general manager squeezes Editor-in-Chief Xu away, wouldn't you be the new Editor-in-Chief?"
"There's no such thing as good."
"Dream still has to be, in case it comes true."
"Okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words."
Xu Yan put his arm over his eyes, covering the dazzling light of the chandelier, and sneered.
If you want him to go, you can clearly say it and stand up again. It's really disgusting.
Xu Yan was angry because of the power struggle in the office, Darcy was being praised by his colleagues, and the general manager was secretly happy because he used a method to make Xu Yan shriveled.
However, their emotions didn't last long, and the internal phone rang happily. Xu Yan was frightened by the sudden ringing of the phone, and almost rolled off the sofa.
He picked up the phone weakly, and before he could say "hello", the manager of the e-commerce department in charge of the online sales platform roared hoarsely: "Editor Xu, online orders have exploded!!! Plan The 10,000 copies sold online have been sold out!!! The customer service can't even handle it, there are so many customers asking for replenishment!!! How did you decide the number of publications!!!"
Xu Yan was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go to your place." After speaking, he hung up the phone, opened the door of the office, and ran to the e-commerce department.
The two editors came out of the tea room with coffee in their hands, and when they saw the editor-in-chief running away like a gust of wind, they looked at each other.
"What happened? How did the editor-in-chief run so fast?"
"I don't know, why don't you go and have a look?"
The gossip souls of the two girls immediately ignited, they put the coffee on a nearby table, and followed the direction Xu Yan ran away from to the e-commerce department.
The manager of the e-commerce department is complaining dissatisfied Chao Xuyan: "Who is so careless to set the number of publications so low? This is not to increase the workload of our department, look at our customer service, there are only three people, and now we have to be three hundred For personal use, I get cramps when I reply, I asked the company to add people to our department, and the people in human resources gave me a bunch of excuses every time, just thinking about it makes me angry."
Xu Yan wisely did not interrupt the complaint of the manager of the electricity and commerce department, because if he interrupted one sentence, he might split it into ten sentences, so it is better to wait until he finishes speaking.
The two gossip girls were repelled by Tang Seng chanting the scriptures in the mouth of the manager of the e-commerce department, and hurriedly left the office of the e-commerce department. Anyway, they had already heard the most crucial gossip. When they returned to their office, the two girls immediately became uneasy. Find someone to open eight.
"Hey, come here, let me tell you some big news, the Christmas issue has already sold out on the Internet, because the number is set low, and now the whole department is going crazy."
"Really sold out? It's only been a day since the online sales started."
"Then there is still a fake. The manager of the e-commerce department is complaining to the editor-in-chief Xu, tsk tsk, this is good, and sure enough, someone was slapped in the face."
"Who do you say is the face-slapper? Anyway, I heard it. Lao Xiong said that it would be reduced by half. He clapped the table with editor Xu in the conference room. In the end, the general manager said that it would be a compromise, and 70% would be fine."
"Shouldn't it be 7.50% for a compromise? The general manager is not good at math."
"... Mud played Kai."
The girls' gossip was ended by a word from a topic terminator, just as Darcy came out of the office, they immediately sat up, pretending that they didn't know anything and said nothing, watching Darcy go to the general manager's office.
As soon as Darcy left, they immediately discussed the topic "Why did the old bear go to the general manager's office?".
Although the online sales data exploded, but since there was no hope on the Internet, the number of orders was not much. The real sales data depends on the feedback after the official publication of the 8th.
"It seems that the purchasing power of Yu Siyang's fans is quite good." Xu Yan casually lost.
After the previous P&H advertisement was released, the direct result was that P&H's sales in the month were more than three times that of the previous six months. This time the magazine came out, and fans quickly exploded the number.
After Xu Yan said this, the face of the manager of the e-commerce department was twisted for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still said: "The purchasing power of his fans is indeed not small, but a small part of these purchase data is because of those who like to take pictures. Bought it for a cat."
Xu Yan: "..." Is there such an operation
