Two days later, March 10th happened to be Saturday.
Wearing a black down jacket, Yang Mi thought she was well-dressed and appeared in "Ruili" magazine as scheduled.
After announcing my home address, I was led to a small conference room by a big sister. I looked around curiously and saw a row of plastic chairs at the door.
There were beautiful women sitting on the chairs, picking up their makeup boxes, some applying makeup, and some applying lipstick. Compared with them, they looked like little foxes who had strayed into the silk holes, with eyes full of spider spirits.
So many competitors? !
The only thing that could make Yang Mi regain some confidence was that the girl on her right was as restless as herself.
She took the initiative to introduce herself, "My name is Zhang Zixuan. Are you also here to apply for a model job?"
Yang Mi hummed, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, whispering to each other.
"Hey, are you Ruili's models?"
Suddenly, the woman sitting next to Zhang Zixuan turned her face. She looked exotic, slightly mature, and had bright but cold features.
As a loyal fan of "Ruili", Yang Mi immediately recognized her as Rueyizha who often appeared in magazines. [ps: The water splash in "Mountains and Seas"]
"It seems like I've never seen you before?" Reyizha looked confused and asked the others, "Do you know each other?"
"do not know."
The women looked at him frequently and then shook their heads.
"So young. I guess he is a new recruit from Editor Li."
"Little sister, are you also here to run for the Qilixiang advertising model?"
"Qilixiang?"
Yang Mi was confused and shook her head: "I'm here to interview as a graphic model. I want to be a model like my sisters!"
Zhu Zhu exclaimed, "It turns out to be a little sister who has never joined the industry!"
In an instant, the surrounding hostility was reduced by more than half, and the conversation was lively, almost all around "Qili Xiang".
This one said that the boss has a net worth of tens of millions, and the other said that the industry scale exceeds 100 million. It is said that he will invest millions of advertising fees. I heard that his partner will be a music superstar...
All kinds of gossip have noses and eyes.
Yang Mi was mixed in among them, her heart was surging, she wished she could become a Ruili girl immediately and be selected as the heroine of Qilixiang advertisement!
Who will the singing superstar be? Xie Tingfeng?
"Don't waste your time here with us."
Reyizha pointed to an office and said, "Hurry up and go for the interview. Maybe you can catch up with this advertising selection."
"Thank you, Sister Reyiza, for reminding me." Yang Mi jumped up and quickly stood up. "I hope I can become my sister's junior sister."
At this moment, the closed door to the editor-in-chief's office opened.
"Sister Chunya is coming out, it's started, it's started."
The girls immediately put away their makeup boxes and stood up.
However, Li Chunya went straight to the door of the company, and almost at the same time, two figures walked in, a pair of intimate lovers.
All the girls looked at him in unison. Except for Yang Mi, no one knew Lu Fei. On the contrary, she knew Lu Fei but not Gao Yuanyuan.
How come he is here? !
Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zhan Zhi sighing: "It's nothing to do with us, the advertisement must belong to Sister Yuanyuan."
"Why is this like this? Isn't it about the selection meeting? Why was it decided directly? Then why did you find us?"
"It's over. It's over before it even begins."
"..."
"It's gone, it's all gone."
The girls couldn't help but complain, chattering and resenting each other. The noise became louder and louder, and finally Lu Fei and his group were summoned.
Li Chunya appeared in front of them with a straight face. Without saying a word, he glanced around with sharp eyes, and there was silence for an instant.
"The guests are making a fuss when they arrive. Where is the professional quality that usually remains calm in times of crisis?"
Lu Fei tried to smooth things over: "The girls in your company are very enthusiastic. Editor Li, are they all candidates for this print advertisement model?"
Graphic model?
Reyiza and the others opened their mouths, aren't they TV models?
The difference between the two words, the salary and benefits, and the grade are all different. When it comes to graphic design, the highest grade is naturally the magazine cover, but usually, it will be column color pages, calendar girls, product posters...
For example, Zhou Xun made her debut as a calendar girl.
"That's right, the girls from Ruili are all here."
Li Chunya glanced at him. They were all foxes with thousands of years of experience. He could tell at a glance that these girls under him would have the wrong idea.
"Including Mr. Lu's girlfriend, Yuanyuan, too."
Her seemingly unnecessary answer was immediately understood by the girls. They saw Gao Yuanyuan holding Lu Fei's arm with a sweet look on her face. There was envy, jealousy and sourness in her eyes.
TV model? They already have a rightful owner!
Yang Mi had so many threads tangled up in a mess, and before she could sort them out, she saw that face with a hint of a bad smile appearing in front of her eyes.
"Yo, here we come."
Lu Fei said: "Editor-in-Chief Li, this is the school girl of mine whom I recommended to you."
Gao Yuanyuan looked up and down, smiling like a flower. "Are you Yang Mi?"
"Sister, hello, sister."
Yang Mi stayed humble and felt inexplicably like a concubine meeting her real wife.
"Sister Chunya, what do you think?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
"The face is a bit square." Li Chunya took a closer look.
Everyone says I have a square face, I am very square!
Yang Mi felt a heavy punch on her chest. She glanced at Lu Fei and saw a joking smile on his face, as if to say——
Look, your face is really square!
"I can't see the rest for now. Just wait. I'll come back for the interview later."
Li Chunya turned around and looked at Lu Fei, "What do you think, Mr. Lu, let's go into the conference room and start the selection now?"
"Editor Li, don't bother, I've already made my choice." He raised his hand and pointed at Reyi Zha and Zhu Zhu among a dozen people, "Just the two of them."
In an instant, the whole place was silent. They were all caught off guard by the man. Is this a good choice?
You ended it before I even started to pose, how could you do it so quickly!
"Editor Li, can we go to your office to chat?" Lu Fei held Gao Yuanyuan's hand.
"Of course, Secretary Wang, five minutes, I want their detailed information."
Li Chunya was lost for a moment, then immediately regained his composure, acted vigorously and resolutely, named Reyi Zha and Zhu Zhu by name, and then politely invited the two of them into the house.
When three figures entered the editor-in-chief's office, among the girls, those who were chosen looked stunned, while those who were not chosen were filled with regret.
"I really envy Sister Yuanyuan."
"This time it's really all for nothing. This boss is here specifically to compliment Sister Yuanyuan!"
"If you praise it, you can praise it, but that's it."
"Hey, your tone sounds so sour, 'It's just that'. The person you're collaborating with may be a popular singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it's been advertised on more than a dozen TV stations. It's hard not to be recognized."
"If the wealth doesn't go to outsiders, why should Sister Yuanyuan be his girlfriend?"
"This boss is so young, handsome and rich. How did Sister Yuanyuan know him?"
"..."
The girls were talking endlessly, and a certain model put her finger to her lips and hissed, "Don't talk yet, don't talk yet. Isn't there someone here who knows him?"
As she finished speaking, Yang Mi felt countless eyes focused on her. Her eyes flickered and her head buzzed.
It turns out that you are such a senior!
…………
Editor's Office.
"Mr. Lu, here are the information about the two models you want."
Lu Fei took the materials handed over by Li Chunya. His resume was dry. He glanced at it briefly and suggested organizing it into a model card.
"Model card?" Li Chunya asked in surprise.
"I also saw him when I was in Wanwan."
Lu Fei slowly said that the model card is a picture and text file of the model. The accompanying pictures include close-ups of the model's facial features and panoramic photos of different clothing, which is equivalent to a commercial photo album.
"Mr. Lu's opinion is very important!"
Li Chunya's eyes lit up, "We will seriously consider it."
"I just mentioned it casually. Sooner or later it will be popular in China."
Lu Fei closed the document and said, "The information is not interesting, so let them cooperate with Yuanyuan to shoot a print advertisement. However, in the cover photo, Yuanyuan is holding Qilixiang alone."
"This is no problem, it's just about the price..."
Li Chunya crossed his arms and looked businesslike.
The cover of "Ruili" magazine is not for anyone who wants to be on it, even if Gao Yuanyuan is a contracted model and half of her own family.
Gao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Chunya, I have already told him."
"It's not a good idea to stay in college, but that's right. If you find someone like Mr. Lu, you won't be able to stay. Yuanyuan, you have really good taste."
Li Chunya smiled and praised the two of them in one sentence.
The smile on Gao Yuanyuan's lips never closed. She had an appointment for a magazine cover and paid for it at her own expense.
The cost of self-pay depends on the circulation and popularity of the magazine. For example, a low-end Pheasant magazine can be purchased for hundreds of dollars.
Generally speaking, for about 10,000 copies, the cover price is often between a few thousand and 10,000. Of course, it does not only depend on the sales volume, but also the layout size, number of times, number of issues, etc.
Although the circulation of "Story Club" is high, with hundreds of thousands of copies, the cover price is only 10,000 to 20,000.
If you have both, the price will naturally be higher.
For example, Fan Shuibing bought out the cover of a certain issue of "Fashion" magazine and spent six or seven figures to get it.
Currently, "Ruili" has 52,400 subscribers, 50,000 cover ads, and 5,000 column color pages. In addition, there are appearance fees for models, photography, etc. Everything is clearly priced, and beauty is not discounted or Quasi counteroffer.
"Zhu Zhu and Reyi Zha, the total is 3,000. As for Yuanyuan, the advertising costs in magazines and TV..."
Li Chunya smiled brightly, Gao Yuanyuan's price was not low.
She has already filmed more than a dozen commercials, and has two other works, "Love Mala Tang" and "17-Year-Old Bicycle". Especially with the latter, she gained a reputation at the Berlin Film Festival. Her appearance fees have increased accordingly, and her salary has increased from 3,000 yuan jumped to 15,000 yuan.
This is also the reason why second- and third-tier celebrities in later generations are so keen on attending Cannes. They walk on the red carpet and publish press releases. They lose face but earn money without being shabby.
"60000!"
Gao Yuanyuan was deeply afraid that her boyfriend's offer would be too high and she would beat him to it. Then she stared with her eyes wide open and said, "If you dare not agree, I'll have your juice!"
Lu Fei: 0.0?
…………
"What are you talking about, sir? Why did you pay yourself 60,000?"
Lu Fei came out of the "Ruili" magazine and took Gao Yuanyuan to the hotel. He put his hands on his hips and "called for punishment."
She knelt down on the bed, holding her ears with her hands, without any sense of guilt, and said with a smile: "I was wrong, I was afraid that you would spend the money in vain."
"Don't laugh! Be serious, classmate Gao Yuanyuan!" Lu Fei said with a straight face, "Is it wrong for me to praise my girlfriend?"
"That's right." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head repeatedly. "But 60,000 yuan is my normal appearance fee."
"Why are you only worth 60,000? No matter what, you have to be like Jay Chou!"
Lu Fei wanted to give his girlfriend more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in appearance fees with a wave of his hand, so as to raise his net worth to the position of a second- and third-tier star, and give Gao Yuanyuan a chance, but she refused.
"My brother said that good steel is used in the blade. You need money everywhere now. It doesn't matter if I save a little here."
Gao Yuanyuan's eyes twinkled and she smiled. She reached out and grabbed Lu Fei's clothes, "Don't be angry, Ruili still wants to take a commission. Your price is so high, why not just give the money to me directly, and I can help you save it." "
Hey!
There was a lump in his throat, and he couldn't help but give her a rough hug and kiss her hard.
For a long time, I don't know how long, Gao Yuanyuan felt that it was difficult to breathe, and she was about to suffocate before she left. Her face was red and she felt dizzy.
"This is your punishment." Lu Fei touched her face. "How many years are left until your appointment with Ruili's manager?"
"It expires next year, and I haven't decided which brokerage company to find yet."
"You don't have to go anywhere from now on."
Lu Fei squinted his eyes. He would open a film and television company for Gao Yuanyuan in the future. He had even found the No. 1 worker under his command. Who wouldn't love Model Yang who can be a 007?
"Yuanyuan, do you know what you are to me?"
"What?"
"You are my Qilixiang."
"Isn't that your milk tea?"
"Because of this, I can fuck you."
PS: There will be more tonight...
