259. Chapter 255 Holiday

It’s the National Day holiday soon.

During the seven-day holiday, many classmates made appointments to go out together, take a trip or something.

Lu Yanhe doesn't have this time. He will start recording "Young Days" on October 3rd.

This is also the last recording. When this recording is completed, "Young Days" will be completed.

Before that, Lu Yanhe still had to talk to Yemai.com and Jiangyin Publishing House about the rest of "Jump Up".

Chen Siqi came back on the night of September 30th.

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 and waited for her in the airport parking lot.

He borrowed the car from Chen Ziyan. He couldn't drive, so he borrowed a driver from Chen Ziyan.

The first reaction of both people was to be angry.

Lu Yanhe was dark.

Chen Siqi is also black.

But Lu Yanhe is a bit darker.

Chen Siqi laughed and asked, "Why are you so dark? Didn't you wear sunscreen during military training?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "There is a drama later. I want to play a guard, and I need such an image, so I didn't play it."

"It looks more heroic when it's dark." Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe's face and said seriously.

Lu Yanhe nodded, "I also think he is more handsome than before."

"You weren't so narcissistic before." Chen Siqi complained immediately.

Lu Yanhe smiled and touched his nose.

Chen Siqi: "Don't touch your nose all the time, it looks very silly."

Lu Yanhe put down his hand and asked, "How are you doing at Jiangguang University?"

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 you are back?"

"I know." Chen Siqi said, "Two people expressed strong opposition to my unwillingness to go home to stay, but my attitude is very firm. If the objection is invalid, I will stay in the hotel."

"Aren't you going to go back to live again?" Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

"Since you have decided to be independent, why do you have to force yourself?" Chen Siqi said, "I earned hundreds of thousands from just one copy of "Jump Up", which is more than enough to support me for a few years. They can no longer try to control me by controlling me. economic artery to threaten me.”

Lu Yanhe also laughed when he saw Chen Siqi's cheerful look.

Chen Siqi has been resistant to Liu Wei'an for a long time, and this is the first time Lu Yanhe has seen Chen Siqi mention her in such a wanton tone.

"Jump Up" gave Chen Siqi 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 ask for manuscripts than before. In the past few days, I have sent invitation letters to several writers and teachers, and they all responded to us enthusiastically. Willing to contribute to us.”

Lu Yanhe was also very happy when he heard Chen Siqi say this.

Chen Siqi: "In the future, I still want to invite one or two public figures to write articles around our theme in each issue. What do you think?"

"Okay, but I don't know many artists, and the number of people I can invite later is limited." Lu Yanhe said, "I may be like you in the future, and I can only invite people to see who is willing."

Chen Siqi nodded and said: "Well, our self-media is also planning to open an interview column to interview celebrities from all walks of life. Among them, entertainers in the entertainment industry are a very important part. I will also use this method to send invitations to them. of."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Is the media account of "Jump Up" planning to do an interview column?"

"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "This is also a very important channel to expand the influence of "Jump Up". If we only rely on one issue of the book to accumulate readers, it will be difficult for this book to be sold to markets other than our target. The crowd saw that most of the publicity targets of Jiangyin Publishing House and Yemai.com had been covered in the first issue of publicity, but there were still many potential readers who might not even know about this book, or Even if you have heard of it but have not read it, through interviews with celebrities in various fields, through their popularity and influence, "Jump Up" can be known to their followers. "

Chen Siqi's idea is certainly correct. However, interviewing is not a very simple matter.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Then who are you going to invite to do the interview?"

"I originally wanted us to be responsible, but we have no experience, so I plan to invite well-known reporters to lead us in this section." Chen Siqi said, "They will lead us to do two or three issues. Let’s start doing it ourselves.”

Lu Yanhe was originally a little worried whether Chen Siqi had overestimated his ability by doing this - interviews are not just about randomly asking a few questions to the other party, but seeing Chen Siqi's fighting spirit, he put his worries aside. .

Lu Yanhe knew Chen Siqi, Linyu, and Xu Zijun. No matter who they were, they were all hard-working people with strong learning abilities. Lu Yanhe had full confidence in them, as long as they wanted to do something well. , it will definitely be done well.

Of course, this kind of trust is somewhat idealistic, but idealism doesn't matter.

Lu Yanhe wanted to write the book "Jump Up", firstly because he liked it, and secondly because of Chen Siqi.

All he had to do was support Chen Siqi's idea.

Chen Siqi has always been a person who works hard to implement whatever ideas he has.

She has fully proven this, beyond any doubt.

-

October 1st, National Day.

When Li Zhibai got up from bed at 10 o'clock in the morning as usual, he yawned and walked out of the room in slippers. He 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 movies and taking notes. The school assigned homework, requiring us to submit a movie review every week and find a movie to analyze and study the performance in it."

"Uh..." Li Zhibai opened his mouth, "Okay, it seems that I have also written such homework."

"You copied it from the Internet." Yan Liang said immediately, "I remember, I saw you copy it."

Li Zhibai: "..."

He immediately turned around and asked: "Where is Lao Lu?"

"He went out early in the morning." Yan Liang said, "Chen Siqi came back from Jiangguang."

"Hehe, a dog who forgets his loyalty for the sake of beauty, ran away as soon as his girlfriend came back." Li Zhibai snorted coldly, "Then he must not come back for lunch at noon?"

"Well, I have to go out for lunch too." Yan Liang said.

"Ah? Where are you going to eat?" Li Zhibai asked immediately, "You're leaving me alone?"

Yan Liang said: "My classmates have agreed to have lunch together at noon. Do you want to go with me? If you want to go, they will definitely welcome you."

When Li Zhibai heard this, he immediately showed resistance on his face, "Forget it, there are so many people, I will eat alone."

Yan Liang nodded and continued to watch the movie, taking 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, and used his hands to pick it twice. After smoothing it out a little, he walked out of the bathroom with satisfaction.

I'll go home today.

Thinking so, he took the car keys and went out first.

"I'm going home." Li Zhibai said to Yan Liang.

"Will you come back tonight?" Yan Liang asked.

"It depends on the situation. I'll talk about it later." Li Zhibai waved his hand and left.

He drove away, but the road was jammed.

He drove for a long time and didn't drive a kilometer.

It was a holiday, and all the students in the neighborhood came out. There were a lot of people.

The traffic jam made Li Zhibai very angry. Just when he was annoyed, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking on the zebra crossing in front of him.

Li Zhibai's eyes widened immediately.

Officer Qiu Ling? !

Since they moved, they rarely saw Officer Qiu Ling.

In the past, they would occasionally meet her, or arrange a barbecue or spicy hot pot near the community, but now it is also difficult.

Why did she come here?

Li Zhibai's eyes followed Qiu Ling, and then he saw Qiu Ling walked in front of a tall and thin boy.

The boy looked like a freshman who had just enrolled. His face was immature and dark, and he must have been tanned during military training.

The boy smiled shyly when he saw Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling was only as tall as his chin, but she acted like an older sister and patted his shoulder.

This action was quite intimate!

Li Zhibai was unhappy.

"Beep--" The car behind honked.

Li Zhibai came to his senses and found that he could go ahead.

He drove forward impatiently until he could no longer see Qiu Ling and the boy.

-

Ten minutes later, Li Zhibai ran back here wearing sunglasses.

He parked the car in front and ran back.

He didn't know what happened, but the scene just now hooked his heart like a hook, making him think about coming back to see, and then, he came back.

However, Qiu Ling and the boy were no longer there.

Li Zhibai turned around and looked for a long time, but couldn't find them, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Then, he was recognized. There were students all around him. When he was recognized, other people also surrounded him, asking for autographs and taking photos. More and more people came, almost causing a traffic jam.

Li Zhibai saw more and more people, and he couldn't go on like this. He could only forcefully say "sorry" while pushing through the crowd and trying to leave.

In the chaos, Qiu Ling suddenly appeared.

She suddenly appeared from the crowd in front and exchanged glances with Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai's eyes showed surprise.

Unfortunately, his sunglasses blocked his surprise.

Qiu Ling acted as strong as a bodyguard, "Excuse me, please make way, Li Zhibai has other work arrangements later, please make way!"

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 for a few words, and the waiter immediately nodded and arranged a private room for them.

Qiu Ling asked Li Zhibai to go in first.

"What about you?"

"I have someone sitting outside, I'll call him in." Qiu Ling said.

When Li Zhibai heard this, the boy with a shy smile appeared in his mind.

"Isn't he your boyfriend?" Li Zhibai asked.

Qiu Ling: "What are you talking about? A child I sponsored was admitted to university this year, and I came to see him."

"Oh." Li Zhibai's tone suddenly became a little lighter, "So that's how it is."

Qiu Ling looked at him strangely, "What's your reaction?"

Li Zhibai laughed, shook his head, and said, "No reaction, go call him, I'll go in and wait for you."

After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and went into the private room first.

Qiu Ling just felt incredible.

But Li Zhibai has always been a bit strange, and Qiu Ling has gotten used 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 am Li Zhibai."

Liu Ao didn't know why, but he was a little nervous. He quickly wiped his hands on himself before reaching over and shaking hands with Li Zhibai.

"Hello, my name is Liu Ao."

Qiu Ling: "Sit down, we meet by chance, let's have lunch together."

Li Zhibai immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, do whatever you want, I'll treat you."

"You dare to pay the bill and give it a try." Qiu Ling immediately glared at Li Zhibai, "I'm here to treat Liu Ao to dinner today. You are just a freeloader. Pay attention to your position today and don't grab the order."

Li Zhibai clicked his tongue and said, "Okay, then I'll still take advantage of Liu Ao."

Liu Ao shook his head in embarrassment.

-

In another private room of this restaurant, four people, Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi, Xu Xiaoyin and Xin Zixin, were sitting at a table.

Food was also served on the table, and several people were chatting while eating.

"The physical book is indeed selling very well, and it is expected to sell 30,000 copies this month." Xu Xiaoyin said, "Jiang Yuqian's article was widely spread online and helped the book to do a lot of publicity. Now Many channels are asking us about when the next issue will be released. ”

Lu Yanhe still adopted a silent posture and left the entire situation to Chen Siqi.

"We plan to launch it on the 15th of every month." Chen Siqi said, "So the expected release time of the second phase is November 15th."

"Huh? It's a bit tight at that time." Xu Xiaoyin said immediately.

"Well, however, because we are producing the second and third issues at the same time, there are a lot of requests for manuscripts, and the manuscripts will be received faster than the first issue." Chen Siqi said, "According to our expectations, we can still catch up with this Published on time."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and said: "The first issue of "Jump Out" had an ISBN. Starting from the second issue, a serial number will be given to this series. It is actually a magazine. Otherwise, you will need to apply for an ISBN after publishing an issue. , it’s also very troublesome.”

"I have to leave it to you for publishing matters." Chen Siqi said, "I had a serious communication with Yan He. Regarding what to do with "Jump Out" next, first of all, our cooperation model and sharing model can be based on the previous No changes will be made, but we hope to increase the production cost of each issue to 200,000 yuan.”

"Two hundred thousand yuan?" Xin Zixing also showed surprise. Before she came, she had thought that Lu Yanhe and the others would want to increase the production budget, but she did not expect that they would double it in one go.

"This includes the salary of our editorial team. When producing the first issue, almost all of the 100,000 yuan was spent on manuscript fees and design fees." Chen Siqi said, "In the future, our goal is to make "Jump Up" To create a high-quality magazine and theme book, we must invite the best writers and publish the highest-level manuscripts. This also means that we must pay the highest standard of manuscript fees. Only in this way will others be willing to pay us Only if you contribute for a long time will you be willing to give us the best manuscripts. ”

"One issue of 200,000 yuan will be 2.4 million in one year." Xin Zixing said, "Based on the sales of the first issue, the production cost is not high, but how should we bear the production cost? Xiao Yin, what’s your attitude towards Jiang Yin?”

Xu Xiaoyin said: "How about each of our two families contributes half?"

When the first issue was published, Jiangyin Publishing House was not actually responsible for the bulk of the production funds. The bulk was provided by Yemai.com.

However, the publication of the first physical book made Jiangyin Publishing House a huge profit - far beyond their expectations - in their expectations, a company that was the first to launch a physical book for free electronic reading could only rely on The fan effect has sold 30,000 to 50,000 copies. Who would have thought that now they are all aiming for 100,000 copies. Although they don’t know whether this book has a long-tail effect and whether it can continue to sell, but now These sales have already brought considerable profits to the publishing house, not to mention the publicity and promotion it has brought to Liujiazhen and Mingyin.

Xin Zixing was surprised by the attitude of Jiangyin Publishing House. She did not expect that the publishing house that had always been stingy about Sosou would suddenly agree to be responsible for half of it.

But Xin Zixing quickly realized that this only shows that the benefits this book brings to the publishing house are far higher than the production cost.

In fact, as partners, they have nothing against them.

The production of such a book was outsourced to the team of Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi. They didn't worry about anything and just waited for the finished product to be released. The two of them are actually distributors, one is responsible for online channels, and the other is responsible for online channels. If you go through channels, you can make sure profits without losing any money, so why wouldn't you want to?

Lu Yanhe originally thought that Xin Zixing and Xu Xiaoyin would bargain, but unexpectedly, in a few words, a few people settled the matter.

Just as Chen Siqi said, they will definitely agree.

Is the production cost of 200,000 yuan per issue high for a magazine?

In the golden age of print media, it was certainly not high, but in an era like this, it was very high.

In particular, both Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi refused to place any advertisements on this book, rejecting a large portion of their income.

-

Lu Yanhe came out to use the restroom and met Li Zhi who also came out to use the restroom.

"I'll go." The two people went in and out, almost bumping into each other, and then recognized each other at the same time.

Two people who had to wear masks when going to the bathroom looked different.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

The two people said in unison.

Lu Yanhe explained: "I had lunch here with others at noon."

"Me too." Li Zhibai said, "It's Qiu Ling, and a student she sponsored."

Lu Yanhe said, "That's a coincidence."

"Do you want to say hello to Qiu Ling?" Li Zhibai asked, "It's rare to see each other now, and she just asked about you."

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then wait for me."

After Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom, he went to their place with Li Zhibai.

Qiu Ling was stunned.

Li Zhibai just went to the bathroom, why did he suddenly bring back Lu Yanhe?

Does he have a random door, can he go anywhere he wants?

Lu Yanhe explained briefly.

"What a coincidence." Qiu Ling said, "Have you finished talking about the matter?"

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Almost."

"But his girlfriend is still there." Li Zhibai immediately added.

"Girlfriend?!" Qiu Ling immediately widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, "You have a girlfriend?"

Lu Yanhe smiled shyly and said, "I guess so."

Qiu Ling: "If you have a girlfriend, then you have a girlfriend. If you don't have a girlfriend, then you don't have a girlfriend. How can you say it's a girlfriend? Don't try to be ambiguous with me. I hate it most when boys keep girls hanging."

Li Zhibai explained for Lu Yanhe and said, "Their situation is a bit complicated. If it's not hanging, it's not clear who is hanging who."

Qiu Ling's eyes widened and looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.

"You are not being hung by someone, are you? Lu Yanhe, don't be a licker and a spare tire."

Lu Yanhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

Li Zhibai waved his hand and said, "You are getting more and more outrageous. This is not the case."

Qiu Ling: "If it weren't for your work partner, I would have wanted to go and see who this girl is."

"Oh, a high school classmate." Li Zhibai said this, and suddenly remembered something, looking at Liu Ao, "Remember to keep it a secret."

Liu Ao nodded.

Qiu Ling: "Don't worry, Xiao Ao grew up under my watch, and he is very tight-lipped."

Liu Ao smiled shyly.

Li Zhibai was a little unhappy when he saw Qiu Ling's unconditional trust in Liu Ao.

Even though...he knew rationally that this kind of unhappiness was not valid at all, in terms of the time they had known each other for a little longer.

Lu Yanhe said: "Then I'll go back there first, Sister Qiu Ling."

"Yeah, go ahead." Qiu Ling smiled and nodded.

After Lu Yanhe left, Qiu Ling said, "I have watched Xiao Lu grow up step by step. He is really amazing. He is only a freshman, but he has already become the editor-in-chief. Moreover, he has done a great job. I bought a copy and read half of it. I can see that it is a book that was made with great care."

Li Zhibai: "Have you read the article I wrote?"

Qiu Ling nodded and said, "I read it. I didn't expect you to be so talented and be able to write such a story."

"Of course." Li Zhibai said, "I also grew up listening to a lot of stories when I was a child. It is very easy for me to make a story."

Li Zhibai looked proud and even wanted to be proud.

Qiu Ling suddenly sighed: "Li Zhibai."

"What?" Li Zhibai looked at her.

"If you can be a little more mature, you may be more popular with girls." Qiu Ling smiled, "Now there should be many girls who are only attracted by your appearance, but after getting along with you for a while, they will find that you are actually a primary school student, right?"

"What?!" Li Zhibai felt like a thunderbolt struck him.

-

"Why did you go to the bathroom and take so long?" Chen Siqi asked in a low voice in Lu Yanhe's ear.

Lu Yanhe explained: "I just ran into Li Zhibai. He and Officer Qiu were having dinner next door."

Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and asked: "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Yeah."

The follow-up production of "Jump Up" has been negotiated. Xin Zixing said: "I finally got a holiday. I'm leaving first. I have an appointment in the afternoon."

"I'm leaving too." Xu Xiaoyin said, "Bye."

"Bye." Lu Yanhe saw them off.

Xu Xiaoyin said: "Don't see us off. It would be bad if someone recognized us. See you next time."

"Yeah."

After seeing them off, Lu Yanhe sat down again.

Chen Siqi said, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I have to start the last recording of "Young Days" the day after tomorrow, so I have nothing to do today and tomorrow."

Chen Siqi said, "Then accompany me to watch a movie. There is a movie I want to watch during the National Day."

"What movie?"

"The Honest Man." Chen Siqi said, "I plan to write a review of this movie on the media account of "Jump Up."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.

He took out his mobile phone, searched for the movie, and looked at the nearby cinemas.

"The nearest one is in half an hour, and it will take about ten minutes to walk there." Lu Yanhe said.

"Well, let's go." Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yanhe put on his mask and hat again and put his sunglasses in his pocket.

Walking in public with Chen Siqi, Lu Yanhe was indeed a little nervous because he was worried that he would be photographed again and become a hot topic.

If Lu Yanhe had kept it secret before because Chen Siqi was unwilling to confirm the relationship, now Lu Yanhe himself is unwilling to make it public.

He doesn't know what he will encounter in the future. His own secrets have not been solved yet. He doesn't want to involve Chen Siqi at this time. (End of this chapter)
