Just when Zhang Shaoping was confused, within half an hour, Hu Junyi knocked on the door and walked in.

"Brother Hu?" Zhang Shaoping got up, then pointed to the sofa, "Sit." ”

Hu Junyi said: "You are so generous! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shaoping looked at him suspiciously.

"Did you just approve Wang Weiwei and them, please Elizabeth. Taylor, Brooke. Silk, Catherine. Deneuve's plan for a joint magazine cover? ”

"That's right, I still came up with this plan." After expressing his politeness, Zhang Shaoping sat down again, "Sit down, talk slowly." ”

Hu Junyi sat down on the sofa and asked, "I said, brother, do you know that it costs a lot of money to invite these three actresses?" ”

Zhang Shaoping said: Isn't this nonsense, who on earth doesn't know that they are "expensive"? He laughed, "It's worth the money!" ”

"Do you still have the heart to laugh? When you watch this, I hope you still laugh. ”

Hu Junyi said, placing a thin booklet in front of Zhang Shaoping, which looked quite like a roster.

"What's that?"

Zhang Shaoping opened the booklet, and the book was all written in English. Zhang Shaoping's English is not very standard, but it is not too difficult to read these tadpole texts, Hong Kong is a British colony after all, and Zhang Shaoping's previous reading results are not bad, and he can still understand what is written in the book.

"Staff roster?" Zhang Shaoping flipped a few pages, and was about to look up and ask Hu Junyi what he meant, when suddenly he was stunned, "What is this?" Payroll, I'll top your lungs, $400,000 annual salary? Is it a mistake? Add one more zero? ”

Hu Junyi saw Zhang Shaoping's shocked appearance, that cool, the depression in his heart was swept away, he took a sip of tea comfortably, and said leisurely: "It's worth the money!" ”

was ridiculed by this guy for his own words, which made Zhang Shaoping cry and laugh, and he asked, "Is this Patrick very good?" When will photographers be able to get such sky-high contracts? ”

"Niu Thirteen", an original word that Zhang Shao usually puts on his lips, Hu Junyi, who has been with him for a long time, still knows it, Hu Junyi put down the teacup and said: "Can you sign Patrick at this price?" Demascherier, is still worth the money, his photography in fashion and beauty has his own style, and many popular celebrity models are also willing to sell him this face. ”

Hu Junyi then introduced Patrick to Zhang Shaoping. Demaselier.

Patrick began his career in photography at the age of 17 and spent 11 years in Paris, the fashion capital, where he had the privilege of studying under the world's leading photographers. Bresson worked as an assistant and gradually developed his own photographic style. Finally, in 1974, at the age of 31, he was hired by the creative director of Vogue magazine, Alexander Vogue. Lieberman discovered and invited to New York to develop.

"Vogue" magazine, translated into Chinese in later generations, means "fashion", which can be called the American version of "fashion" magazine. However, this "Vogue" magazine is much more famous than Zhang Shaoping's "Fashion" magazine, which is already a popular international fashion magazine in the world, and every time it is mentioned, the world compares it with "ELLE" and "LIFE".

Wang Weiwei originally jumped out of Vogue magazine, and Zhang Shaoping certainly knows a lot about these world-famous magazines.

The second highest paid is Mario? Testino, with an annual salary of $300,000.

"This Mario? Testino is Tina. Brown brought it from England, right? Zhang Shaoping looked up and asked Hu Junyi, he clearly remembered that at that time, Tina. When Brown agreed to go to New York to form the company, he asked to bring some helpers with him.

Hu Junyi nodded and said: "That's right, Mario is the person brought by Brown, he is very young, but he is also very energetic, and it is worth cultivating." ”

He didn't say Mario? Testino is not worth this salary, but it is worth cultivating, which means that this potential is relatively large, even if the annual salary is a little higher in exchange for talent retention.

Of course Zhang Shaoping will not be against Mario? Testino's salary is on the high side and there is an opinion, not to mention that this European fashion has already made a name for himself and is sought after by many luxury goods. On Brown's face, Zhang Shaoping will not refute her decision.

Zhang Shaoping closed the booklet, leaned back on the sofa, and asked, "Okay, these two guys, I admit that the salary is a little too high, but you also said that it is worth the money, should you just let me look at it?" ”

Hu Junyi shook his head and said, "You haven't even looked at the pages in the back, you definitely can't imagine that there is something more exciting!" Do you know that in order to dig up the contributions of famous writers, Brown and Wang Weiwei offered a generous price of not less than $1,500 per 1,000 words, and even offered a sky-high price of $1,000 per 1,000 words for excellent articles. ”

"What? $10,000 per thousand words? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Zhang Shaoping was completely shocked at this time, he had never seen such a crazy poaching, the price was so high that almost all freelance writers, writers, and senior media commentators would go crazy about it.

Zhang Shaoping finally understood, why did Fang think that Wang Weiwei and the other three daughters had strange expressions, and the reason for daring was here! Contributors can be different from photographers, except for some freelance photographers, most photographers are signed with companies and get a fixed annual salary, and contributors are completely calculated by the number of words, if a manuscript is tens of thousands of words, it is 100,000 manuscript fees, which is quite terrifying.

Actually, Tina. Brown played this game in another time and space, where she was valued by Newhouse, and used the technique of "Vanity Fair", but in this time and space, she used it in "Vogue" magazine.

Tina. Brown's approach was simple: he painstakingly recruited New York's best magazine writers and photographers at any cost, offering unprecedentedly generous contracts, several of whom were paid six figures — almost twice the pay of most magazines at the time. The best pay to get the best high-quality manuscript is Tina. Brown's beliefs. Even if it is a manuscript that is painfully cut off, she also sets the rules and pays a fairly good "return fee".

Tina. Brown's approach was extremely rude and disrupted the original market situation in the magazine industry at once, but for a magazine as little-known as Vogue, it was the most direct and effective to want to make a hit.

Of course, this method is not advisable, although it is relatively quick to open the market, but it also pays a lot of price, and after the magazine is published, the advertising fee is likely to not be able to make up for its high manuscript fee.

"You know why I'm feeling emotional, right? None of these women you invited are fuel-efficient lamps, with atmospheric work, unique vision, and amazing courage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are heroes among women! Hu Junyi had a look of "I admire them very much", "I think that at the beginning, when we first created "Outside", we were trembling, how could they be so generous!" ”

Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This money is not theirs, of course they spent it happily, but my heart trembled when I looked at it!" ”

"No, all the money that should be spent has been spent, and there must be no mistakes, and it will be wasted!" Zhang Shaoping couldn't sit still, stood up, kept pacing, suddenly stopped, waved his hand fiercely, and said: "Hype, definitely hype!" Yes, advertise a lot, pull up old magazines such as "Vanity Fair" and "Vogue" to stir up hot topics, well, and CK clothing, we can't miss it. ”

Zhang Shaoping thought of doing it and immediately called Tina. Brown, Wang Weiwei, and Bai Lan told them to come back quickly to discuss things.

The boss called, everyone didn't dare to be sloppy, so naturally they left what they were doing and hurried back. They already had schedules, but now they had to postpone it and go back for a more important meeting.

After everyone met, Zhang Shaoping didn't say anything at all, and said what he meant directly.

After listening to Zhang Shaoping's words, Tina. Brown was immediately happy and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, after I came to New York, I began to promote the magazine. The magazine writers, photographers, and models I was looking for all had specific surnames that could be hyped up at any time. ”

Zhang Shaoping said: "That's the best!" You should take advantage of this short period of less than 10 days to make an advertising and hype plan, and you must hype up this topic before the magazine is released. ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Sheng." ”

Back at the villa, the staff told Zhang Shaoping that someone called him not long ago and said it was from his home. Zhang Shaoping hurriedly went back to the room and dialed a phone back, and the person who answered the phone was still Mi Xue.

Zhang Shaoping asked, "Dragon Girl, haven't you returned to the capital yet?" ”

Mi Xue said: "Isn't Fa Tsai going to get married, I received an invitation, and I'm going to eat the wedding wine before leaving." ”

Zhang Shaoping pondered for a long time and asked, "Did he send me an invitation?" ”

"Would you love him to send you an invitation? You won't be embarrassed to eat his wedding wine? Michelle asked rhetorically.

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said, "How can it be, no matter how you say it, you can be regarded as a friend, right?" Even if you can't be friends, at least you're not an enemy, right? Favors, I still want it. ”

"I really don't understand what you men think, don't hesitate when it's time to stab the knife, and talk about feelings when it's time to talk about friendship." Mi Xue said indignantly, and then said, "The invitation was sent, and Xiao Min received it for you." However, I think it's better for you not to go, otherwise, everyone will be very embarrassed, and you won't be able to explain to your Lianmei. ”

Zhang Shaoping said: "Sister Lian, she, she shouldn't have any opinions, right?" ”

Having said that, Zhang Shaoping's heart is not sure, after all, there is nothing strange about being in love, and he can't let go.
