Chapter 36: Topic Storm
"Welcome to the latest broadcast of entertainment, the cover published in the latest issue of Men's Magazine is named 'Beauty and the Beast', but the model in the photo is a man, the most strange thing is that the cover of this issue is actually from Tong Man......"
"It is understood that the model this time was originally set to be Chen Yu, a female model who had just emerged in the modeling industry, who knew that the model was suddenly changed on the set, and she was a newcomer who had never been on the road"
"The cover of this issue of Men's Magazine caused a storm of topics, but Tong Man himself did not give any explanation for it, and the newcomer named Xiao Yi never showed up......"
The next day, the popularity of Men's Magazine exceeded everyone's imagination, and the sales increased by more than a star and a half compared to usual.
Men's magazines, as the name suggests, are customized magazines for men to make men's money.
The content of the magazine is also related to women, and the previous covers were either sexy actresses or hot female models, but this time it is a man and a tiger.
The most surprising thing is that although this issue of the magazine uses men as the cover, the sales have increased.
Maybe this is curiosity, if one day you see that the cover of a certain piece is a man, but the title is a wife***, I guess you can't help but click in and take a look, right?
In recent years, the Internet has developed, and it is difficult to do physical paper book trading industries like magazines, but men's magazines have gained a firm foothold by virtue of their unique channels, and the sales of each issue have almost covered 50% of the market, and now it has increased to a few points, and the sales of this issue directly occupy more than 60% of the market.
Although the magazine industry is not very prosperous, if you can occupy more than 60% of the market share in any one market, it is a considerable amount of income.
And the most important thing is that all major platforms and news on the Internet are reporting on this matter, and a new round of headlines has fallen on Men's Magazine, Tong Man, and Xiao Yi.
As we all know, the Internet age is an era without secrets, and the rapid and extensive dissemination of information is staggering.
Needless to say, Tong Man and Men's Magazine, one is a well-known photographer and the other is a well-known magazine, but Xiao Yi is different, a day ago he was a little-known person, but today, it is the center of the topic by word of mouth.
Although the sales have increased this time, the contradiction between the cover and the name is still a question in everyone's minds.
On the same day, Chu Liuzhao, president of Men's Magazine, said in an interview: "Actually, I have the same doubts as everyone in my heart!" ”
"Then may I ask President Chu why he chose to publish it in a magazine since he didn't know what was going on? To put it mildly, isn't President Chu afraid that this move will ruin the men's magazine? ”
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I believe in Tong Man!!"
"As for this cover, if possible, you should interview her herself!"
Afterwards, the reporter really interviewed Tong Man by phone, and the latter actually told the reporter the reason, Tong Man gave the statement: "If the tiger is a female, then I think in the eyes of the same kind, it must be a beauty, and this man can call it a beast, right?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was thought-provoking!!
Yes, that's right, why does the beauty in "Beauty and the Beast" have to be a human woman, and the beast must be the king of beasts?
Is it just because this magazine is read by humans?
Undoubtedly, this cover has extraordinary significance, as soon as Tong Man's explanation came out, countless media rushed to report it, and for a while, the limelight even overwhelmed some first-line stars, and Xiao Yi, one of the protagonists of the cover, naturally became famous.
……
After finishing work, Chen Yu bought a men's magazine from the store, returned home, and saw all kinds of news about the latest cover of men's magazine "Beauty and the Beast" on the TV, her face rose a little chill, and the magazine in her hand was tightly clutched and wrinkled.
Sitting on the sofa, she tried to take a few deep breaths to calm her mood as much as possible, but the cold in her eyes was still so thick that she couldn't dissolve.
"Xiao Yi, you snatched everything that should have belonged to me......" Chen Yu spread out the magazine, smoothed out the folds on it, and looked at Xiao Yi on the cover, his voice was cold.
Chen Yu has been in the modeling industry for three or four years, and finally entered Tong Man's company. At that time, she was very happy, because she knew that as long as she seized a chance to become a model under Tong Man's lens, she would be able to make a name for herself in the modeling industry, and then she would even have the opportunity to step into the entertainment industry, and from then on, she would be able to get fame, status, and money.
In fact, she also waited for this opportunity, when Tong Man asked all the female models present to show courage, she was the only one who rushed to Adam, not because she was not afraid, but because she knew that if she missed this opportunity, she might never have a second time.
She mustered all the courage to get closer to Adam and fight for the opportunity to be the cover girl.
Even if Adam was crazy on the set, even if she was trembling all over at that time, even if she was terrified to the extreme, even if she was so frightened that she fainted in the end, she never flinched and did not run away.
But......
Near the last moment, Tong Man suddenly changed a person, and it was still a man.
"Do you hate him?"
At this moment, a cold sound mixed with the "gurgling" sound of high heels stepping on the ground slowly came.
Chen Yu was really taken aback, her scalp almost exploded, her body couldn't help but shrink back, her face turned pale, and when she mustered up the courage to look back, she was almost not scared and fainted.
In front of the window, the sly moonlight reflected a slender figure, and the breeze swept through the window the corners of her blouse and her long scattered hair.
If it weren't for the light in the room hitting her face, she wouldn't be able to see her clearly, and if she just saw this figure, she would have thought it was a female ghost!
After seeing the appearance of the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, Chen Yu couldn't help but be shocked, because the night a day ago, the ruthless woman with an AK47 was still fresh in her mind.
The one who came was Hua Dan.
It's just that Hua Dan looks a little embarrassed at this moment, her hair is scattered, her blood is dripping, her right hand is holding her fragrant shoulder, and her left hand is pressing her lower abdomen, and the AK47 is gone.
"I asked you if you hate that man named Xiao Yi very much?"
The stockings on Hua Dan's legs were torn in many places, blood mixed with fragrant sweat soaked her clothes, although her face was a little pale, but her appearance looked very attractive, but her eyes were still full of coldness, which was intimidating.
Chen Yu shrank back again, and hurriedly nodded his head, a cold sweat rising on his face.
"Very good, since we have a common enemy, then this matter is not so complicated, hehe......" Hua Dan stared at Chen Yu with staring eyes, a penetrating smile on the corner of his mouth, coupled with that pale face as paper, scared the latter almost lost his soul.
……
Meanwhile.
Xiao Yi was just about to report to Tong Man and get off work, after all, he had to leave a good impression on his boss when he went to work the next day, but as soon as he walked to the door of Tong Man's office, his mobile phone rang, it was a call from Da Mang.
"You know that, too? It's just some false names, what celebrities are not celebrities, you know I don't care......" After Xiao Yi pressed the answer, he started joking with one mouth, he thought it was the big mang, the kid also saw the news, and accurately joked about himself.
"First brother...... I didn't expect you to become a big star if I didn't see you in the past few days, it's really surprising" The voice of the voice was playful but cold, not reckless at all, but it made Xiao Yi have a sense of déjà vu.
Xiao Yi's face sank: "Who are you?" ”
The other party's tone was not good, and the call made with a reckless mobile phone, listening to the tone, he seemed to know himself, and faintly, Xiao Yi had a bad premonition.
"Why, I spent forty-eight hours at the police station and let my brother forget? What a noble person forgets things! ”
"Li Zhi!" Xiao Yi raised his voice and snorted, his face gloomy.
The other party has said everything to this, if Xiao Yi doesn't know yet, then it's not forgetting but amnesia.
Xiao Yi's shouting was particularly piercing in the office area, and everyone present stopped what they were doing and looked at him, their faces puzzled, and of course there were many disgusted eyes.
"What do you want?" Fortunately, Xiao Yi did not lose his mind, and quickly calmed down, and said in a calm voice.
He ignored the gaze of the employees around him.
"I don't want to do anything, it's just that the first brother said that he wanted to enjoy his face and drink a drink together, and now I just came out of the police station, how about taking this opportunity to wash the dust for the younger brother?" Li Zhi's voice came.
"Okay, tell me the time and place" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, his face was extremely calm, and his tone was not shocked.
"It's now, it's your house, and I seem to see something interesting...... If you still want to call the police once, I promise, you will regret it" At the end of the words, Li Zhi's voice became cold, with a strong sense of warning, and hung up the phone directly after speaking.
"Something interesting?"
Xiao Yi held the phone, muttered, and made a calm face.
Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around and was about to leave, as for calling the police, he didn't need it now.
But at this time, the door of Tong Man's office opened.
"Come with me to Ancheng in two days," Tong Man said expressionlessly, standing at the door of the office.
Xiao Yi didn't care about answering, just nodded hurriedly, then turned around and ran away.
If the interesting things in Li Zhi's mouth meant those things in the "hole", Xiao Yi didn't dare to imagine what would happen.
There are priceless matchmaker bronze mirrors in there, as well as ......
The old man's keys and frames!!
Thinking of this, where else can he care about.
Tong Man stood in place, his face was cold, he didn't expect Xiao Yi to run away directly, he just nodded, and he didn't respond.
After leaving the company, Xiao Yi took a taxi, and when he sat in the car, his face was still not very good-looking.
Wang Damang is the only friend he has sincerely made in the past two years, and he has helped Xiao Yi a lot on weekdays, and the affection between the two is not low.
If Li Zhi really did something excessive, Xiao Yi didn't know what would become of him, and his fists couldn't help clenching at the moment.
The driver of the car looked at Xiao Yi with a gloomy face through the rearview mirror, his face was happy, and he said with a smile: "The model on the cover of your man's magazine, right?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Yi bowed his head and answered absentmindedly.
"Hey, I really didn't expect it, I've been driving a taxi for 20 years, and today I actually got a big star" The driver who drove the car looked like he was in his forties, and he was full of boldness, and his tone of voice was also very aggressive.
"Master Hu can drive faster, no, I have something very important......" Xiao Yi raised his head and forced a smile, but his eyes were a little frighteningly cold.
"Howler !!" This driver has been driving a taxi for decades, and he is very proficient in observing words and feelings, and when he saw that Xiao Yi was really in trouble, he responded heartily and sped up.
……
At this moment, Da Mang and Xiao Yi's residence was already a mess, and there were more than a dozen shirtless young people standing in the room, these people belonged to the kind of hooligans who knew at a glance. Some have tattoos on their bodies, some have colorful hair, and their faces are full of arrogance, so they almost write the words "Lao Tzu is the first in the world" on the door of their heads.
"What are these things?" In the crowd, a familiar figure stood up, handsome, but there was a rich cold color between his eyebrows, he held the bronze mirror of the matchmaker in one hand, the photo frame and the key in the other, looked at Da Mang who fell to the ground and trembled, frowned and asked.
Wang Damang now has a blue nose and swollen face, and there are no less than ten bruises on his body, obviously he was beaten up and beaten by someone.
His pair of panda eyes were swollen and tall, and he looked at the three objects in Li Zhi's hand, but he could only shake his head with a "whin".
Because of these things, he had never seen them, and he didn't know how these people brought by Li Zhi were turned out.
"Then watch obediently, I'll let him give me the answer......" Li Zhi squatted down and slapped his cheeks, with a crazy smile on his face.
