Chapter 150: Fang Xiao, who loves to laugh
After three rounds of drinking, after the climax of talking and laughing retreated, Fang Xiao and I came to the courtyard of the hotel, and the river breeze mixed with a slight smell of sewer and fishy smell hit, and our brains suddenly cleared up a little. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance, and looking at each other, we all smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" She asked.
"I laugh at the fate of our past and present lives, today is like in a dream, in fact, no such thrilling thing has happened in a dream. So what are you laughing at? ”
"I laughed at your surprise at seeing me, your expression," she said, learning from my incredible countenance, "You must have been wondering all the way about who this editor-in-chief is, and incognito. ”
"I really didn't expect it to be you, I thought we'd never get a chance to meet again. When did you come back? ”
"I've been back for more than half a year. After graduating, I worked for the Wall Street Journal for a while, and when I was asked for a promotion, I offered my resignation. ”
"Isn't it nice to be abroad? If you look around us, how many people are sharpening their heads and drilling outside. The natives in Beijing, whose families have a little money, have been sent abroad to be gilded. ”
"I may know a little more outside, and there are many people outside who are glamorous on the surface, but in fact, I know that I am wronged in my heart, not to mention the habits of food and life, but also the habits of culture and interpersonal communication, which also makes many so-called overseas study elites retreat and find ways to drill into the country, which is what we call a siege. As for me, my thoughts are relatively simple, and I miss home. ”
"I can't see it, Lord Fang is also a family lover, I used to work with you, and I looked like a domineering female president."
"I've never been overbearing to you, you touch your conscience and say, don't you?"
"That's right. Let's get down to business, there are more than 1,000 people up and down this media group, wheel talent, I'm not the top-notch, you see, there are either veteran drivers with qualifications around me, or returnee elites like you, why did you choose me? ”
"If you don't have a personal relationship, you won't believe it. In the past few years abroad, I have still paid attention to your situation, and when I saw the books you wrote, one by one is more profound than the other, I feel that a little boy has slowly grown into a man, and I am really happy for you. However, first of all, it is your character and ability that you want, so you don't have to think too much about this. ”
"I've come to Shanghai, it's useless to think too much, in the future, I'll be sent by the editor-in-chief Fang."
"Well, that's good. In the past few years, you haven't thought about me at all. Fang Xiao looked at me a little thoughtfully.
"What's the use of thinking, you have your life, it's too tiring to think about being alone, not to mention that this tiredness is meaningless, and it only adds to the troubles."
"Selfish guy! Do you think I've changed from before? ”
"It's prettier, and it's warmer."
"That's a very high rating. What about you, still single in the past few years? What happened to that little sister of Wenxin? ”
"I, the inside hasn't changed, the outside has changed, I'm afraid you'll dislike me. I've always been single, but I'm not the same person I used to be. You said Fu Wenxin, don't mention it, I and her are in the past. ”
"Such a big person, still so pretentious. People always have to change, no matter what kind of person you become, I will never dislike you. ”
I replied to her with a grateful smile.
The next day, when I came to the office of the media group, the crazy people at dinner yesterday seemed to put on a layer of skin, covering the crazy energy, and after entering the working state, they were judged to be two people.
Everyone sat in the conference room, not smiling, looking like they were going to do something big.
Media Group's office building is located in the most prosperous area of Lujiazui, with a height of 89 floors, standing tall enough.
I think of what Feng Yuqiang said, people who do media must stand tall and see far, and only what they can do have dimensions.
During the Republic of China, Chu Anping's "Observation" was opened in a dilapidated small building, and it was not necessarily how high it was, but there was no magazine behind him that could reach their height.
Fang Xiao first introduced me to everyone: "This is Zeng Xiaoyu, the chief editor of the journal sent by a brother unit in Beijing to guide the founding of the journal, and I hope that everyone can cooperate with his work more in the future and work together to run this new journal well." ”
"Editor-in-Chief Fang's words are serious, I'm just here to help with miscellaneous, if you don't do anything wrong in the future, please criticize and correct, whatever you have to say on the table, everyone is here to run the publication well, and you don't have to hide your ideas."
"Well, let's get down to business now, let's talk about the copy first." Fang Xiao glanced at me and motioned for me to express my opinion.
"In the past few days, I have carefully read the copy of the new issue that everyone has drafted, and I have put forward a few personal opinions, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones. Several fashion magazines under the media group take the high-end route, and the readership is positioned in the middle class with stable income and strong consumption power, so the packaging of the cover and text is very gorgeous, and the copywriting for the new geographical magazine basically continues these visual designs, but as a newly founded geographical magazine, it should be distinguished from the fashion magazine and the geographical magazine on the market at present.
"This kind of magazine needs to have a precise readership, that is, young people who like to travel or want to be on the road, so the vision should also match their aesthetics. When a new magazine is launched, in addition to using our current magazines, we should also reach cooperation intentions with new media such as major portals and online platforms for literary and artistic youth activities. It is particularly important to run around the tourism bureaus, and at present, the resources of the administrative power in China cannot be underestimated, and it would be best if it could cooperate with the tourism bureaus to do activities and projects and achieve resource sharing.
"In terms of column settings, it is recommended to add 'hikers' and invite several popular travel experts to open columns to attract fans.
"To be a tourism geography magazine, if it is still in the stage of attracting readers' attention with large pictures, it will definitely not live long, we have to have something to live in, that is, feelings, that is, the way of harmony between man and nature. Therefore, when writing about physical geography, we cannot reject the realistic topics of environmental pollution, indiscriminate hunting, and ecological destruction. In this era of new media, consulting is no longer an eye-catcher, but opinions and attitudes have the potential to become the value of print media.
"The name of the magazine, one currently comes to mind, called "Roadfarer", the American "Beat Generation" writer Jack? Kerouac's "On the Road", the characters and stories are absurd, in fact, the core and essence of the novel is the disobedience of young people and the yearning for freedom, this kind of spiritual temperament, I think no era will be outdated. It's a good fit for the positioning of our publication.
"As for the details of the work later, we still need to communicate one by one throughout the process and slowly explore. Thank you. ”
Immediately, Luo Da Prawn said: "Okay! I fully agree with Xiao Yu's point of view, the pre-designed process and color need to be reconstructed, and it is quite important to meet the tastes of ordinary young people. ”
Literary planner Wu Shuang spoke: "I also agree with Xiaoyu's idea that if we want to make a unique geography and humanities magazine, we must have ideals and attitudes, otherwise we will soon be buried in a sea of information." ”
Fang smiled and cast an approving glance at me.
This woman who doesn't like to laugh has taken a "laughing" name, which is ridiculous enough.
Seeing her again this time, she is not as indifferent as before, whether it is in her work or in her style in life, it is like her name.
There were still two months left before the first issue of the magazine, and everyone worked separately, and the editors, reporters, and outreach all performed their duties, and all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Luo Da Prawn and Zhao Lifei led the art editors to design several sets of visual plans, and finally selected a set of plans through collective voting.
Wu Shuang also planned two topics with several veteran travelers, one of which was "The Birth of Indonesian Snakeskin Pocket". They will delve into small workshops in Indonesia to explore the birth of snakeskin pouches sold everywhere and examine the economic and environmental impact of the trade.
Another topic was "Motorcade Crossing Tarim", which was first initiated by the Xinjiang Tourism Bureau and undertaken by the magazine, with the aim of raising social funds for afforestation and sand control.
Fang Xiao and I contacted a TV station in Shanghai, and they were interested in cooperating with the magazine for copyright, sending a film team to follow the team throughout the process, and carry out post-IP publicity.
Before the event began, Fang Xiao and I were invited by Xinjiang to discuss the details of the event.
We all know the importance of this trip, and to put it bluntly, the more money and media support we can get, the better.
Before leaving, we were in the Hongqiao Airport departure lounge. I asked Fang Xiao: "These people are the masters of the alcohol test, in recent years, have you practiced in the United States, Chinese talk about things differently from Yankees, two cups of coffee and a hamburger will negotiate things, here you have to fight wine, don't be put down by those people at that time, shame and shame." ”
"Aren't you just here to keep me from drinking? I'm counting on you then, it's okay, I believe in you and have faith in you! Ha ha. ”
I wanted to cry and said without tears: "Do you know the Qiu Ji in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? He has a miraculous ability to force wine out of his feet. Why didn't I think of learning in the first place? ”
"It's okay, we have a big beauty here who knows how to do miraculous skills, a thousand cups that will not be poured, and everyone loves her. You can't do it, she's on top. ”
As she spoke, a handsome fashionably dressed city girl walked towards us with a suitcase, wearing a pair of huge sunglasses that covered most of her face, and a thin scarf inlaid with multicolored patterns, dancing behind her with her steps.
She is Concubine Zhao Li.
