"This series of tide t is really well translated!"

Unlike the reactions of the general public and fashion circles, the fashion editor's focus is more academic, "There is no doubt that it is related to the Thorns series, although the two seem to be completely similar in silhouette, but they share a similar intention - the sudden conflict, the dark sense of unease and the hint of blood, especially the red and white conflict, this element is very obvious, repeated throughout the ready-to-wear line and the runway - this is undoubtedly an original series, absolutely no suspicion of plagiarism, Unless she hacked into the designer's computer and copied the entire set before it was released. ”

is different from what ordinary people imagine, the editorial office of "Voyage" does not have a tall minimalist decoration, the office building is even a little old, the conference room is relatively small, a projector is placed, and the water cup on the table has to be squeezed and placed, Song Yalan's volume is slightly amplified, and the editor-in-charge next to her frowned - but she can't hear it if she doesn't make a loud editor-in-chief, "In addition to this explosive trend, there are a few ready-to-wear clothes that I think are well designed this season, such as this one, a silk shirt with red and white stitching, It is also a transformation of the Thorn series, which is obviously modified from the runway model, and also inherits the consistent style that the brand has been taking the splicing style since its inception - "

"Okay, no need to say any more," Wen Xuan, editor-in-chief of "Voyage", smiled, and her tone was still very kind, "Lana, do you feel a little wordy?" ”

A chuckle immediately sounded in the room, and Song Yalan's editor-in-charge gave a meaningful glance: "The Devil Wears Prada" had just been screened a few years ago. Streep's role as the female devil has become a classic character, although this movie does not reflect the whole of fashion magazines, and Wen Xuan does not have Miranda's intimidating aura and unsmiling personality, but she is by no means a good boss. The working atmosphere of "Voyage" is not as tense as in the movies, but there is one thing that can not be wrong: here, you have to prove that you can do it, it may take a long time, but to be sure that you can't, it is enough to say a word from Wen Xuan.

Song Yalan bit her lower lip slightly, and inevitably felt a frustration: Upper East Side girls are more difficult than others in the workplace, especially when their family background can't play a role, and the adjustment of mentality is more difficult, but she still won't give up her efforts - the social atmosphere of American aristocratic high schools is very cruel, and this little injury can't stop her.

"I'm sorry, maybe I got the point wrong, but Amanda gave me the impression that this collection of clothes would be worthy of being on the inside pages of the magazine as long as the originality problem was solved."

As soon as she finished speaking, Amanda immediately denied it, "I didn't say that, I just said that originality is the first step-"

"You're noisy too," Wen Xuan didn't save face for the old editor at all, she frowned slightly and said, "The voice is too high-"

Everyone immediately even breathed slowly, Amanda stabbed Song Yalan at a glance, and her expression was exactly the same as Emily in "The Devil Wears Prada", Song Yalan thought of herself as Andy played by Jennifer in her heart, Da snorted silently, accidentally hummed too hard, and hurriedly covered her nose again, for fear of angering the editor-in-chief sitting at the round table.

"You seem to have been pushing this designer and her collection since last month, even though she's a very young designer—"

Fortunately, Wen Xuan didn't seem to notice the dispute in the corner of the round table, her eyes were still lingering on the big screen, her fingers were gently tapping on the table, as if she was thinking about something, Song Yalan didn't know whether she should answer or not, and she slapped Amanda a little slower and went up, "I'm very sorry, I didn't explain it to Lana, so she repeatedly wasted everyone's precious time——"

"Explain what?" Unexpectedly, Wen Xuan didn't answer Lingzi, but asked very directly, "I didn't make it clear, our magazine is not an open, neutral and active publication?" ”

Amanda's face turned red, and she muttered sorry, not daring to continue on this topic: "Voyage" China of course wants to support and discover Chinese designers, which is politically correct, although this support is now reflected in the publications, mostly in the least important months of the year, to give a few irrelevant pages, to introduce some long-established independent designers, but no one can put the unspoken rules on the bright side to talk about it, this is like the king's new clothes, Even if everyone knows it, no one will openly claim that the current level of Chinese design is still generally the same. Song Yalan strongly recommends [rhyme], which must be encouraged politically, otherwise it will not sound good if it is spread out, if it is not even supported by Chinese design, how can "Voyagechina" take root?

Of course, it makes sense for Wen Xuan to think so today, her mood is always up and down, and it is not uncommon for her to criticize Chinese designers for choosing topics when she is short of manuscripts, but in any case, today she feels that if she wants to be politically correct, then political correctness is the overriding principle.

"That's not what I meant......" She argued weakly, and she didn't dare to be choked back like this - she could only use this discriminatory reason to deny Song Yalan, that is, she was really incompetent. Actually, I'm not doubting originality—"

"It's good that you haven't doubted this yet," Wen Xuan's firepower today was all focused on her, her tone was still so kind, but it was as hard as a whip on her body, "If you've seen the materials Lana showed today before, and still doubt the originality, then I can only doubt your professionalism......"

The rest of my colleagues looked at Amanda sympathetically (but the extent of sympathy is unknown), but they didn't overreact, this kind of mental abuse is used to in internal meetings, and all the editors here have been reprimanded by the editor-in-chief to cry, Amanda is just a turn today.

"Yes, originality is just something I mentioned casually," Amanda blushed and struggled to catch it, as if catching a glimpse of the smile on Lana's face out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in her heart: every intern is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this Upper East Side lady in particular is Bitch, "My main concern is her real popularity—is she really hot abroad with her own designs?" This has never happened in history, isn't the gimmick a little too hyped? ”

The question was asked a little sharply, provoking a murmur of approval, "It must have been published, right?" ”

"The press conference is so good, there must be someone behind it."

"It's very good at frying, I saw that press conference in Tianya a few months ago......"

"It's said that it's hot overseas, but will overseas posts also be hype?"

"Can domestic naval companies be fried abroad? English is a problem, right? ”

"It's hard to say, you can hire a foreign company directly, have you heard of the puppeteer in the United States, last month I accompanied Liang Yingdi to the United States to shoot the cover, and I heard the people of the American "Voyage" talk about it, and now Hollywood uses their home to serve a lot of ......"

Voyage's editors are not unfamiliar with the trolls: they are just as concerned about the gap between their magazines and their competitors, and some of the celebrities who bring their own trolls can confidently guarantee the amount of distribution on the entire network when they request cooperation, which will help the magazine make its own cultural imprint in the frenzied expansion of China's fashion market. But it was the first time that a fashion designer bought a water army, Song Yalan laughed angrily, she opened a website in her favorites and called out one of the posts: It was Zhou Xiaoya's street photography at the airport, but she had just done cropping and post-processing, so that the tone became black and white, "Do you know what website this is?" ”

Her direct and sharp tone quieted down the room, Wen Xuan's eyes fell on her with interest, Song Yalan also quickly realized that she had offended someone, she bit her lower lip, but did not regret it, but strengthened her tone, "R, this is the world's number one street photography blog - how many itgirls on the Upper East Side look at his recommendations to decide on clothing - even he reprinted Zhou Xiaoya's airport street photography, do you think, this is also something that the water army can buy?" ”

She looked around at her seniors with some challenge, and finally fell on Wen Xuan's face, and raised her chin almost angrily: she hasn't been back in China for too long, but she has been fed up with this group of rabble, how many people in China really understand fashion? It's all a group of parallel goods who rely on flickering to eat, and the biggest motivation for work is to attend the press conferences of various brands, and exchange the press release for gift bags and red envelopes, so that the magazine will get worse and worse, and the big names sometimes have to fly to the United States, and even a top team in China can't get together-

"I know, from a traditional point of view, how can a new brand, and in the fashion desert, be recognized in Europe and the United States at once? But the fact is that the Internet has created a group of technology upstarts, they don't care about the traditional luxury culture, they prefer personalized, niche fashion items, driven by Silicon Valley, the momentum of hipster culture in the United States is very rapid, street photography websites one after another, this kind of distinctive logo of the tide T is really very marketable, is a vacuum period. This bloody piece just fits the trend in the United States, and it is not surprising that it has become popular, the meme effect of the Internet. She simply no longer cares about acceptance, and the new hot words are one after another, no matter whether Wen Xuan can understand it or not, "Ordinary people can become big heroes, as long as they are talented, anyone can become popular." [Rhyme] is an example of the meme effect, and I don't think there's anything worth it about conspiracy theories—"

"But we can't have anything to do with this superficial momentary popularity," Amanda said sharply, catching the flaw, "Voyage leads the way, not follows the trend, and if any item that is picked up by chance can be certified by Voyage, then what will be our positioning and image?" Certainly not the way it is now-"

"But it's a very artistic piece, and it can even be said to be genius!" Song Yalan snapped, "Have you really read it?" It is the Mondrian of clothing design - the line matching seems simple, but in fact it is well thought out, very suitable for the golden three laws, and there is a kind of weightlifting ability, so it can become so popular: the public may not understand art theory, but there will be aesthetic instincts! If you can't even judge the beauty of this dress, it means that you are not suitable for art-related work at all! ”

Amanda's face flushed, she opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound, like a fish out of water, the old editors exchanged glances with each other, limited to the editor-in-chief's smile that was very happy to watch the play, no one dared to lend a hand. But Song Yalan also realized her faux pas, she didn't continue, biting her lip and not willing to apologize, the atmosphere in the room fell into a strange stiffness.

"Alright." Wen Xuan still laughed happily, she didn't criticize Lana's rudeness to Amanda at all, but when Song Yalan was about to speak, her eyes became cold, and her smile slowly converged, "Okay, if I keep talking, my ears will really be deafened." ”

The editorial group immediately let out a dry laugh, Amanda twitched the corners of her mouth, and laughed along, Song Yalan pouted unwillingly, and quickly pursed her lips, she looked left and right, trying to find a clue from the expressions of her peers: the editor-in-chief did not express a final opinion on the topic of [rhyme], and did not even show a trace of attitude towards her defense, does this think that there is no discussion value, or is there something else?

As a trainee editor, it is the limit to be able to bring a topic to the meeting for discussion, and her presence ends there, after the meeting everyone returned to their original positions, Amanda stepped on high heels past her, brushed the floor and pulled out a chair and sat in, pursed her lips and tapped the keyboard, and more than a dozen conversation windows quickly stacked on the screen, no doubt, she was complaining about the regular meeting just now.

From Song Yalan's point of view, she could easily glance at Amanda's desktop, but she didn't care at all, she just twitched the corner of her mouth contemptuously: there is no doubt that she is going to be collectively excluded by the editorial department, but so what? All full-fledged editors don't like interns, and she doesn't care if she gets a little more hated. The editorial office of "Voyage" is full of poor ghosts who love vanity, rich people who want to climb the social ladder, and only the ace editor who lacks excellent professional qualifications, these people she would not have looked at if it were not for the needs of her work.

typed a few words, drank a few sips of water, opened her YSL tassel bag, took out the lip balm and applied it carefully - her work efficiency was not high, and the email was written intermittently, and most of her mind was waiting for the notice of the OA system: Generally speaking, after the end of the monthly meeting, the editor-in-chief will arrange the layout of the next issue within an hour, and "Voyage" is the workflow three months in advance, so whether [Yun] can strive for the most important September and autumn report in the previous year, and what page can be obtained, it depends on Wen Xuan's arrangement for a while.

While waiting, time flies, and at a certain point, everyone's computers rang with a soft voice: OA system reminded that the editor-in-chief had uploaded the rough catalog of the September issue.

The entire editorial department suddenly fell silent, only the sound of the mouse clicking wildly and the scroll wheel sliding, and everyone's eyes were focused on the screen at the same time - but the time of leaving was different with the speed of reading, Song Yalan could feel that the eyes fell on her one after another, most of them with schadenfreude banter - the September issue of the catalog has been released, and there is no share of [rhyme] in the layout, Amanda got a topic with a high number of pages, and Song Yalan, although her performance just now was eye-catching, But like all intern editors, they still don't have their own independent topics......

Amanda's chair moved, there seemed to be a gentle laugh in the direction of the workstation, Song Yalan did not squint, did not look at her inevitable pride, she now settled down, her hands danced quickly on the keyboard, translating the English in her heart into slightly jerky Chinese:

[This is the second time I have recommended your design, but I have encountered certain difficulties in the editorial office: my editor in charge is the staunchest opponent, and I guess the biggest reason for this is that she has pushed the show arranged for her to show me without authorization, and if the report around you is very popular, then her professional vision and work attitude will be questioned. So from the very beginning, she was very opposed to my choice, and I thought she might be your enemy in the magazine.

But the good news is that the editor-in-chief should still be quite impressed with your design, at least I feel so, and I can't guess why she didn't put you in the catalog. Maybe she has some concerns that I don't understand - how could Amanda attack you on using trolls to promote yourself, which is ridiculous? — but perhaps the editor-in-chief believed some. Anyway, that's all I can do at the moment—]

"If you can find another way to dispel the editor-in-chief's concerns, or Amanda's opposition," Qiao Yun read aloud, "I will enthusiastically provide advice in the professional field, and if you can't find a good way, then you may have to turn your attention to other professional magazines for the time being......"

She closed the page and looked at Fu Zhan, and before she could speak, Brother Qing knocked lightly on the office door.

"What," he said a little embarrassed, "here's the reply from the puppeteer's side - our balance on its side seems to have bottomed out, I don't know if I'm right or not, you can confirm it—damn, this foreigner's navy company is really expensive, and at this rate, the account will soon run out of money-" 166 Reading Network
