Chapter 254: Vacation
It's the 11th National Day holiday soon.
During the seven-day holiday, many students went out together, traveled or something.
Lu Yanhe didn't have this time, and he was going to start recording "Young Days" on October 3rd.
This is also the last recording, and when this time the recording is finished, "Young Days" will be recorded.
Before that, Lu Yanhe had to talk to Ye Maiwang and Jiangyin Publishing House about the future of "Jump Up".
Chen Siqi returned on the evening of September 30.
Lu Yanhe went to the airport to pick her up.
Because he was afraid of being photographed, Lu Yanhe didn't even get out of the car, just waiting for her in the parking lot of the airport.
The car was borrowed from Chen Ziyan, he couldn't drive, and he borrowed a driver from Chen Ziyan.
The first reaction of both of them was that it was dark.
Lu Yanhe was black.
Chen Siqi is also dark.
However, Lu Yanhe was a little darker.
Chen Siqi smiled and asked, "Why are you so dark?" Didn't you wear sunscreen during military training? ”
"Nope." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "There is a play in the back, I want to play a guard, and I need such an image, so I didn't wipe it." ”
"It's dark, it looks more heroic." Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe's face and said seriously.
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I also think it's more handsome than before." ”
"You weren't so narcissistic before." Chen Siqi immediately complained.
Lu Yanhe smiled and touched his nose.
Chen Siqi: "Don't always touch your nose and look stupid. ”
Lu Yanhe put down his hand and asked, "How are you doing with Jiang Guangxue?" ”
Chen Siqi: "It's good, as long as I stay away from Liu Wei'an, I'll be fine." ”
Lu Yanhe asked, "Do they know that you are back?" ”
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "The two of them expressed strong opposition to my refusal to go home to live, but my attitude was very resolute, and the opposition was invalid, so I stayed in a hotel." ”
"Aren't you going back to live in the future?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.
"Since you've decided to be independent, why do you have to force yourself?" Chen Siqi said, "A copy of "Jump Up" made me hundreds of thousands, which is more than enough to support myself for a few years, and they no longer want to threaten me by mastering my economic arteries." ”
Lu Yanhe also smiled when he saw Chen Siqi's radiant face.
Chen Siqi's resistance to Liu Wei'an has been a long time, and it was the first time Lu Yanhe had seen Chen Siqi mention her in such a wanton tone.
"Jump Up" gave Chen Siqi a confidence.
Lu Yanhe is very happy that "Jump Up" can bring such confidence to Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi said: "After the success of the first issue, it was much easier for us to make an appointment than before, and in the past few days, I have sent several writers and teachers invitation letters, and they have all warmly replied to us and are willing to contribute to us. ”
Lu Yanhe was also very happy to hear Chen Siqi say this.
Chen Siqi: "In the future, I still want to invite one or two public figures to write about our theme in each issue, what do you think? ”
"Yes, but I don't know many artists, and the people I can invite in the future are limited." Lu Yanhe said, "It may be the same as you in the future, and you can only see who is willing through invitation." ”
Chen Siqi nodded and said: "Well, our self-media is also going to open an interview column to interview celebrities from all walks of life, among which artists in the entertainment industry are a very important part, and I will also send them an invitation through this way at that time." ”
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Is the media account of "Jumping Up" ready to do an interview column? ”
"Hmm." Chen Siqi nodded, "This is also a very important channel to expand the influence of "Jump Up", if you only rely on the first issue of the book to accumulate readers, it will be difficult for the book to be seen by the market crowd outside our target, Jiangyin Publishing House and Yemai.com's publicity and delivery crowd, when the first issue of publicity, most of them have been covered, but there are still many potential readers, maybe they don't know about this book, or even if they have heard of it, they have not read it, through interviews with celebrities in various fields, through their popularity and influence, and also be able to make "Jump Up" known to their followers. ”
Chen Siqi's thinking is certainly correct. It's just that interviewing is not a very simple thing.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Then who are you going to invite to be in charge of the interview?" ”
"I originally wanted us to be in charge of it, but we don't have the experience, so I'm going to invite a well-known journalist to take us on this section first." Chen Siqi said, "They will take us to do two or three phases, and then we will start to do it ourselves." ”
Lu Yanhe was still a little worried, whether Chen Siqi overestimated his ability by doing this-the interview was not just a matter of finding a few random questions and asking the other party, but seeing Chen Siqi's fighting spirit, he put down his worries again.
Chen Siqi, Lin Yu, Xu Zijun, Lu Yanhe knows them, no matter who they are, they are all people who are willing to work hard and have a strong learning ability, Lu Yanhe has a full confidence in them, as long as they want to do a good job, they will definitely be able to do it well.
Of course, there is some idealism in this kind of trust, but idealism is okay.
Lu Yanhe wanted to make the book "Jump Up", firstly because he liked it, and secondly because of Chen Siqi.
Chen Siqi's idea, he just needs to support it.
Chen Siqi has always been a person who will work hard to do whatever he has an idea.
She has fully proven this, there is no doubt about it.

October 1, National Day.
When Li Zhibai got up from the bed at ten o'clock in the morning as usual, he yawned and walked out of the room with his slippers on, and saw Yan Liang sitting in front of the TV, looking at the screen and writing something seriously.
"What are you doing?" Li Zhibai asked.
Yan Liang said: "Watching the film and taking notes, the school assigned homework, requiring us to submit a movie viewing experience every week, and find a movie to analyze and study the performances in it. ”
"Uh......" Li Zhibai opened his mouth, "Well, it seems that I have also written such an assignment." ”
"You copied it online." Yan Liang immediately said, "I remember, I watched you copy it." ”
Li Zhibai: "......"
He immediately turned his head and asked, "Where is Lao Lu?" ”
"He went out early in the morning." Yan Liang said, "Chen Siqi has come back from Jiangguang. ”
"Oh, I saw the dog thing that got carried away, and my girlfriend ran away as soon as she came back." Li Zhibai snorted coldly, "Then he definitely won't come back for dinner at noon?" ”
"Well, I'm going out for lunch too." Yan Liang said.
"Huh? Where are you going to eat? Li Zhibai immediately asked, "Just throw me alone?" ”
Yan Liang said: "The classmates have made an appointment to have dinner together at noon, do you want to go with me?" If you're going, they're definitely welcome. ”
When Li Zhibai heard this, his face immediately showed a look of resistance, "Forget it, a bunch of people in Wuyang, I'll eat it myself." ”
Yan Liang nodded, continued to watch the movie, and took notes from time to time.
Li Zhibai brushed his teeth, washed his face, looked at his bird's nest in the mirror, thought about it, pulled it twice with his hand, smoothed it out a little, and walked out of the bathroom satisfied.
I'll go home today.
Thinking so, he took the car keys and stepped out first.
"I'm home." Li Zhibai said to Yan Liang.
"Will you come back in the evening?" Yan Liang asked.
"It depends, and we'll talk about it later." Li Zhibai waved his hand and left.
He drove away, and it turned out to be good, and the road was congested.
I didn't drive a kilometer for half a day.
During the holidays, the students in the neighborhood ran out, and there were a lot of people.
This road condition made Li Zhibai's stomach angry, and he was annoyed, when he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure on the zebra crossing in front of him.
Li Zhibai's eyes immediately widened.
Officer Qiu Ling?!
Since they moved, they hadn't seen Officer Qiu Ling very often.
In the past, it was difficult to meet from time to time, or make an appointment for barbecue and spicy tang near the community.
How did she get here?
Li Zhibai's eyes followed Qiu Ling, and then he saw Qiu Ling walking in front of a tall and thin boy.
At first glance, the boy was a freshman who had just entered the school, his face was green and dark, and he must have been exposed to military training.
The boy smiled shyly when he saw Qiu Ling.
Obviously, Qiu Ling only went to someone's chin, but she looked like a big sister and patted him on the shoulder.
This action is close enough!
Li Zhibai was upset at once.
"Didi-" The car behind honked its horn.
Li Zhibai came back to his senses and found that he could go ahead.
He drove away irritably, until he could no longer see Qiu Ling and the boy.
-
Ten minutes later, Li Zhibai ran back here wearing sunglasses.
He pulled over to the front and ran back.
I don't know what's going on, but the scene just now hooked his heart like a hook, making his mind full of thoughts about coming back and seeing, and then, he came back.
However, Qiu Ling and the boy were no longer there.
Li Zhibai turned his head and looked around, looked for a while, but didn't find it, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
Then, he was recognized, surrounded by students, who were recognized, and other people also came around, asking for autographs, asking for group photos, and there were more and more people, almost causing a congestion incident.
Li Zhibai saw that there were more and more people, and he really couldn't go on like this, so he could only say "sorry" forcefully, while pushing aside the crowd and finding a way to leave.
In the midst of the chaos, Qiu Ling suddenly appeared.
She suddenly appeared from the crowd in front of her and made eye contact with Li Zhibai.
Li Zhibai's eyes showed a look of surprise.
It's a pity that the sunglasses blocked his surprise color.
Qiu Ling showed a strong bodyguard, "I'm sorry, please let go, Li Zhibai has other work arrangements behind him, please let go!" ”
She completely disguised herself as Li Zhibai's bodyguard, and took Li Zhibai away from the crowded street and came to a restaurant.
Li Zhibai lowered his head and went in with Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling communicated with the waiter, and the waiter immediately nodded and arranged a box for them.
Qiu Ling asked Li Zhibai to go first.
"What about you?"
"There's still someone sitting outside, and I'll call him in." Qiu Ling said.
When Li Zhibai heard this, the boy with a shy smile appeared in his mind.
"It can't be your boyfriend, right?" Li Zhibai asked.
Qiu Ling: "What nonsense, a child I sponsored was admitted to university this year, and I came to see him." ”
"Oh." Li Zhibai's tone became a little brisk in an instant, "I see." ”
Qiu Ling gave him a strange look, "What's your reaction?" ”
Li Zhibai smiled, shook his head, and said, "There is no reaction, you go and call him, I will wait for you first." ”
After Li Zhibai finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled, and he went to the private room first.
Qiu Ling only felt incredible.
But Li Zhibai has always been a little weird, and Qiu Ling has become accustomed to it.
After a while, Qiu Ling came in with the boy.
"Liu Ao." Qiu Ling introduced Li Zhibai.
Li Zhibai looked at the boy named Liu Ao, nodded, smiled, and stretched out his hand, "I'm Li Zhibai." ”
Liu Ao didn't know why, he was a little nervous, and his hand quickly wiped his body before reaching over and shaking hands with Li Zhibai.
"You, hello, my name is Liu Ao."
Qiu Ling: "Sit down, meet by chance, let's have lunch together." ”
Li Zhibai immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, just order, I'll treat you." ”
"You dare to pay for it." Qiu Ling immediately glared at Li Zhibai, "Today I came to invite Liu Ao to dinner, you are a rubber, pay attention to your position today, don't grab the order." ”
Li Zhibai sighed and said, "Okay, then I still took advantage of Liu Ao." ”
Liu Ao shook his head in embarrassment.
-
In another private room of this restaurant, Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi, Xu Xiaoyin and Xin Zixing were sitting at a table.
Dishes were also served on the table, and several people were chatting while eating.
"The physical book is really selling well, and it is expected to sell 30,000 copies this month." Xu Xiaoyin said, "Jiang Yuqian's article spread a lot on the Internet, which helped the book do a lot of publicity, and now many channels are asking us when the next issue is going to be released." ”
Lu Yanhe still took a silent posture and handed over the situation to Chen Siqi.
"We plan to launch on the fifteenth of each month." "Therefore, the estimated release time of the second phase is November 15. ”
"Huh? It was a bit of a tight time. Xu Xiaoyin said immediately.
"Well, however, because we are working on the second and third issues at the same time, there are a lot of manuscripts, and the speed of receipt will be faster than the first issue." Chen Siqi said, "According to our expectations, we will still be able to catch up with this time for publication." ”
Xu Xiaoyin nodded and said: "The first issue of "Jumping Out" took the book number, and from the second issue onwards, a journal number will be given to this series, which is actually a magazine, otherwise you will have to apply for a book number when it comes out, which is also very troublesome." ”
"I'll leave it to you when it comes to publishing." Chen Siqi said, "I communicated with Yan He seriously, about what to do next, first of all, our cooperation model and sharing model can be according to the previous one, without change, but we hope to increase the production budget of each issue to 200,000 yuan." ”
"Two hundred thousand yuan?" Xin Zixing also showed surprise, she had thought that Lu Yanhe would want to increase the production budget before she came, but she didn't expect that it would be doubled in one go.
"This includes the salary of our editorial team, and when the first issue was produced, the cost of 100,000 yuan was almost all spent on manuscript fees and design costs." Chen Siqi said, "In the future, our goal is to make "Jump Up" a high-quality magazine and theme book, then we must invite the top writers to publish the highest level of manuscripts, which also means that we must give the highest standard of manuscript fees, only in this way will others be willing to give us long-term contributions, and will be willing to give us the best manuscripts." ”
"The first phase of 200,000 yuan is 2.4 million yuan in a year." Xin Zixing said, "According to the sales of the first phase, the production budget is not high, but how should the production budget be afforded?" Xiaoyin, what is your attitude towards Jiangyin? ”
Xu Xiaoyin said: "How about our two families, half of each?" ”
When the first issue was published, Jiangyin Publishing House was not actually responsible for the majority of the production funds, and most of them were provided by Yemai.com.
However, the publication of the first issue of the physical book made Jiangyin Publishing House a lot of money - far beyond their expectations - in their expectations, a physical book that took the lead in launching electronic free reading, at most sold three to fifty thousand copies by fan effect, who would have thought that now they are all rushing to 100,000 copies, although they don't know whether the book has a long-tail effect, whether it can be sold all the time, but just now selling these has brought a lot of profit to the publishing house, Not to mention the publicity and promotion it brought to Liujiazhen and Mingyin.
The attitude of Jiangyin Publishing House surprised Xin Zixing, she didn't expect that the publishing house, which had always been picky and searching, would suddenly agree to be in charge of half of it.
But Xin Zixing quickly reacted, which can only show that the benefits that this book brings to the publishing house are far higher than the production budget.
In fact, as partners, there is nothing they are unwilling to do.
The production of such a book is equivalent to outsourcing to Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's team, they don't have anything to worry about, just waiting for the finished product to come out on the market, the two of them are actually a channel provider, one is responsible for online channels, and the other is responsible for offline channels, so they can make a steady profit without losing money, how can they not be willing.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that Xin Zixing and Xu Xiaoyin would bargain, but he didn't expect that in a few words, several people settled the matter.
As Chen Siqi said, they will definitely agree.
Is the production cost of 200,000 yuan high for a magazine?
In the golden age of paper media, of course, it is not high, but in such an era, it is very high.
In particular, both Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi refused to place any advertisements on the book, refusing a large part of the income.
-
Lu Yanhe came out to go to the bathroom and met Li Zhibai, who also came out to go to the bathroom.
"I'll go." The two men went in and out, almost bumping, and then recognized each other at the same time.
Two people who still wear masks when they go to the toilet look so different.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two men spoke in unison.
Lu Yanhe explained: "I eat here with others at noon. ”
"Me too." Li Zhibai said, "As for Qiu Ling, there is also a student she sponsors. ”
Lu Yanhe sighed, "That's quite a coincidence." ”
"Would you like to go and say hello to Qiu Ling?" Li Zhibai asked, "It's rare to see each other now, and she asked about you just now." ”
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then you wait for me." ”
After Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom, he went to them with Li Zhibai.
Qiu Ling was stunned.
Li Zhibai just went to the bathroom, why did he suddenly bring back a Lu Yanhe?
Does he have any door where he can go?
Lu Yanhe explained slightly.
"That's such a coincidence." Qiu Ling said, "Are you done talking?" ”
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Almost." ”
"But his girlfriend is still over there." Li Zhibai immediately added.
"Girlfriend?!" Qiu Ling's eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, "You have a girlfriend?" ”
Lu Yanhe smiled a little shyly and said, "Sort of." ”
Qiu Ling: "If you pay it, you will pay it, if you don't pay it, you won't pay it, how can you still say that it is?" Don't be ambiguous with me, I'm the most annoying for boys hanging girls. ”
Li Zhibai helped Lu Yanhe explain, saying: "Their situation is a bit complicated, it's not hanging, and I don't know who is hanging whom." ”
Qiu Ling's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.
"You're not going to be hanged, are you? Lu Yanhe, don't be a licking dog and a spare tire. ”
Lu Yanhe couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.
Li Zhibai waved his hand and said, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, it's not like that." ”
Qiu Ling: "If it weren't for you and your work partners, I would have wanted to meet what kind of girl it was." ”
"Ugh, a high school classmate." When Li Zhibai said this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Liu Ao, "Remember to keep it secret." ”
Liu Ao nodded.
Qiu Ling: "Don't worry, Xiao Ao, this kid has grown up with a firm mouth." ”
Liu Ao lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Li Zhibai was a little unhappy when he saw Qiu Ling's unconditional trust in Liu Ao.
Even if...... He also knew intellectually that this kind of unhappiness was not valid at all, and in terms of the time of acquaintance, they had only known each other for a little longer.
Lu Yanhe said, "Then I'll go back over there first, Sister Qiu Ling." ”
"Uh-huh, go ahead." Qiu Ling smiled and nodded.
As soon as Lu Yanhe left, Qiu Ling said: "I really watched Xiao Lu come to this day step by step, it's really amazing, it's only a freshman, and I've already started to be the editor-in-chief, and I have done a good job, I bought a copy, read half of it, and it can be seen that it is a book made with great care." ”
Li Zhibai: "Then did you read the article I wrote?" ”
Qiu Ling nodded and said, "After reading it, I didn't expect you to be quite talented and able to write such a story." ”
"Of course." Li Zhibai said, "When I was a child, I grew up listening to a lot of stories, and it was very easy for me to make up a story. ”
Li Zhibai's face was proud, and he even had a little bit of a tail.
Qiu Ling suddenly sighed: "Li Zhibai." ”
"What?" Li Zhibai looked at her.
"If you can mature a little bit, you might be more popular with girls." Qiu Ling smiled, "There should be a lot of girls now who are just attracted by your appearance, but after getting along with you for a while, they will find out that you are actually a primary school student, right?" ”
"What?!" Li Zhibai felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him.
-
"How did you go to the bathroom, and you went for so long?" Chen Siqi asked in a whisper in Lu Yanhe's ear.
Lu Yanhe explained: "I met Li Zhibai just now, and he was having dinner next door with Officer Qiu. ”
Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and asked, "Is it such a coincidence?" ”
"Hmm."
The follow-up production of "Jump Up" has been negotiated, Xin Zixing said: "I finally had a holiday, so I left first, and I made an appointment in the afternoon." ”
"I'm gone, too." Xu Xiaoyin said, "Bye-bye." ”
"Bye-bye." Lu Yanhe sent them away.
Xu Xiaoyin said: "Don't send us, it's not good if you are recognized, see you next time." ”
"Hmm."
As soon as the two of them were sent away, Lu Yanhe sat down again.
Chen Siqi said, "Do you have something to do in the afternoon?" ”
"Nope." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "The day after tomorrow, I will start recording "Young Days" for the last time, and I will be fine today and tomorrow." ”
Chen Siqi said: "Then you accompany me to watch a movie, there is a movie I want to watch on the National Day." ”
"What movie?"
"The Honest Man." Chen Siqi said, "I am going to write a review of this movie on the media account of "Jump Up". ”
Lu Yanhe nodded and said okay.
He took out his phone, searched for the movie, and looked at the nearby movie theater.
"The closest one is half an hour later, and if you walk past, it's about ten minutes." Lu Yanhe said.
"Well, let's go, then." Chen Siqi said.
Lu Yanhe put on his mask and hat again, and put his sunglasses in his pocket.
Walking in front of the public with Chen Siqi, Lu Yanhe was indeed a little nervous, because he was worried that he would be photographed again and be on the hot search.
If Lu Yanhe used to keep it secret because Chen Siqi was unwilling to determine the relationship, now Lu Yanhe himself is not willing to make it public.
He doesn't know what he will encounter in the future, his own secrets haven't been solved yet, and he doesn't want to involve Chen Siqi at this time. (End of chapter)
