There Is Chef Yu In The Entertainment Circle
Chapter 83
After the dinner, Luo Peng deliberately re-arranged Yu Siyang's itinerary and gave him a short holiday to rest.
Some time ago, crazy rushing to the show and rushing to the announcement, Yu Siyang, who was originally thin, seemed to lose the fat on his face. He himself felt that he would be more handsome without the fat, and he took a lot of photos in the mirror. It took ten minutes, but Xue Chengxiu and his entire management team didn't think so.
So, at the end of the year when this kind of artist was more busy, he actually had a few days off in his busy schedule, and he could sleep until he woke up naturally, and then do a few "tuitions" and go to Master Ouyang's house to continue learning performance and lines.
The "tuition" I made today is called "Send a Beautiful Woman by Dragon Car". In fact, the big lobster takes the shrimp meat and changes it into balls. After sizing and marinating, it is oiled in salad oil sauteed with ginger, and then fried with celery and ginkgo. Then, put it into the "dragon cart".
The name of this dish was chosen by the master at will-because I really can't think of a good name.
Lobster meat is easy to fry, as long as you have a good grasp of the heat, the emphasis of this dish is the carving of the "dragon cart". The "dragon cart" carved out of pumpkin requires extremely high carving skills from the chef. When he was asked to practise, he sculpted hundreds of small pumpkins, but when he saw the pumpkins, he was dizzy, but he practiced the carving very skillfully.
Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he took a small pumpkin carving "dragon cart" early in the morning, and carved two, one he packed and brought to Father Ouyang as tuition, and the other was sent by the family bodyguard to Xue, who was so busy. Mr. Supper.
Yu Siyang didn’t know what Mr. Xue’s reaction was when he received the “dragon cart” given to “beautiful”, but Mr. Ouyang admired his carver and said that he must put this “dragon cart” on the Bogu shelf. Let all the old men and old ladies who come to his house be envious and jealous.
Yu Siyang could only laugh or cry, saying that this was carved from fresh pumpkins, and it won't last long.
The old man Ouyang couldn't keep it for too long, and immediately said that when he went to dance the square dance at night, he must take the "dragon cart" to show off.
During Yu Siyang's vacation time, the pace of life has obviously slowed down, but in the same city, the working group related to him is busy. One of them is "MODE Impression" magazine.
"MODE Impression" is published on the 8th of every month, but considering the issues of logistics and goods transfer, it usually comes out on the 6th. During the period before the publication, the magazines were all overtime dogs, and they were so busy. Take gold stars.
And this time for the Christmas special, the cover editor Darcy and the editor-in-chief Xu Yan quarreled again for the number of publications.
Xu Yan advocated that the number of publications should be published in the past, but Darcy said that the number of publications should be reduced by at least half. The two people faced each other at the meeting, and the reasons were all justified. The others pretended to be quail, and their eyes turned to the general manager. He glanced around, waiting for his final decision.
It is reasonable to say that Xu Yan, as the editor-in-chief, has considerable decision-making power over the magazine, but since the internal reorganization of the magazine, a general manager was parachuted in, and his power was emptied a lot, and the general manager seemed to be interested in training Xiong Shubiao and him. Fight the ring.
This kind of thing is no longer one or two times. Many times Xu Yan feels tired and even thinks about giving up the magazine he has done.Just think of the passion of the year, the stubborn energy of not hitting the south wall and not looking back. With this momentum, the team of eight people forced a new magazine into one of the top five domestic magazines. Xu Yan did not want to give up lightly. .
In the end, the general manager made a decision, took a compromised quantity, and published it according to 70% of today's average publication quantity.
After Xu Yan got this result, the subsequent meetings remained silent. When the meeting was over, he returned to his office and closed the door before he showed a tired expression.
The reason Xiong Shubiao wants to reduce the number of publications is very simple-Yu Si has just made his debut, the coffee is too small, there are not too many diehard fans, the magazine is likely to be unsalable.
However, everyone in the conference room seemed to have forgotten that this issue was pushed by the manufacturer, and the number of publications was rashly reduced without communicating with the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is seriously investigated, the contract is written in black and white, and it is considered that they have breached the contract. .
It's just that these people are holding the shelf of one of the five major magazines and bullying when they catch newcomers. Now they are so frantic that they dare to offend the gold master.
Xu Yan often wondered, how did "MODE Impression" become like this?The original ideas and dreams have been wiped out to the point where there is little left. How far can such a "MODE Impression" go?How long can I hold the shelf of one of the five major magazines?
On December 6th, the December Christmas special of "MODE Impression" with the theme of "Youth’s Colorful Dreams" was printed and shipped out as scheduled, and sent to various places through logistics. It will be officially sold in major bookstores and newsstands on December 8th. , The online purchase channel is also opened at the same time, allowing people who don’t want to go offline to order directly online and express delivery to the door.
And this network channel is another place that makes Xu Yan angry. They usually pre-sell online in advance, and the pre-sale period is about half a month.
But this time, because the shooting was delayed, the original time was delayed, and then the cover design was delayed, which delayed the pre-sale period, and finally had to abandon the pre-sale and open the online purchase when the publication was published. aisle.
In fact, in the period before the publication, many people have asked on the official microblog why there is no pre-sale, but it can not be said that it is caused by the internal turmoil of the magazine, so the official can only play dead.
Fortunately, although Yu Siyang's fans were dissatisfied, they didn't say much, but expressed the hope that the magazine will publish the issue as scheduled and they will definitely buy it.
Now, the magazine has been sent to various places, just waiting for data feedback.
Xu Yan lay tiredly on the sofa in the office, remembering what Xiong Shubiao said when he heard Xiong Shubiao gossiping with others outside the pantry.
"How much traffic can a young coffee who just debuted, magazines can't sell, but hit us in the face. Let me tell you, the general manager can't be used to editor Xu, his editor is bigger than the general manager, and people can read it. Is he pleasing to your eyes? No, it is uncomfortable to always use me as a trap to find him."
"Darcy, if the general manager squeezed out Editor Xu, wouldn't you be the new editor?"
"How can there be such a good thing."
"Dreams still have to be there, if they come true."
"Well, then I will borrow your good words."
Xu Yan put his arms on his eyes to hide the glare of the chandelier and sneered.
It's disgusting to be able to say it clearly and stand up if he wants him to go.
Xu Yan is angry for the rights in the office, Darcy is being praised by his colleagues, and the general manager is secretly happy because he has used the means to make Xu Yan cripple.
However, their respective emotions did not last long, and the internal phone called happily. Xu Yan was frightened by the sudden ringing of the phone and almost rolled off the sofa.
He answered the phone weakly. Before he said "Hello", the manager of the e-commerce department in charge of the online sales platform rang hoarsely: "Editor Xu, online orders are bursting!!! Plan! The 10,000 copies sold online have been robbed!!! The customer service reception is not able to receive, so many customers requesting replenishment!!! How do you decide the number of publications ah ah ah ah!!!"
Xu Yan was stunned for two seconds before saying: "Wait a minute, I'll go to your place." He hung up the phone, opened the door of the office and ran to the e-commerce department.
The two editors came out of the pantry with coffee in their hands and looked at each other when they saw the editor-in-chief running away like a gust of wind.
"What happened? How did the editor run so fast?"
"I don't know, why don't you follow it to see?"
The gossip spirits of the two sisters immediately burned, put the coffee on a nearby table, and followed the e-commerce department in the direction Xu Yan ran away.
The manager of the e-commerce department is complaining to Xu Yan dissatisfied: "Who is so inattentive to set the number of publications so low? This is not to increase the workload of our department. Look at our customer service. There are only three people. For personal use, I got cramped after replying successfully. I asked the company to add people to our department. The human resources guys gave me a bunch of excuses every time. Just think about it."
Xu Yan Mingzhi didn't interrupt the e-commerce manager's complaint, because he might break out ten sentences if he interrupted one sentence, so it is better to wait until he finishes talking.
The two gossip girls were repelled by Tang Seng's chanting from the manager of the e-commerce department, and left the office of the e-commerce department in a hurry. Anyway, they had heard the most important gossip. They returned to their office, and the two girls were not calm at once. Find someone to open eight.
"Hey, come here and tell you a big news. The Christmas magazine has been selling well on the Internet. Because the number is set low, the whole department is going crazy now."
"Really sold out? It's only one day after opening online sales."
"There can still be fakes, the e-commerce manager is complaining to Editor Xu, tusk, it's okay, as expected, someone was beaten in the face."
"Who do you guys say is the face slapper? Anyway, I heard that, Lao Xiong said that it would be cut in half, and he and editor Xu patted the table in the meeting room. Finally, the general manager said that it was a compromise and it was 70% better."
"The compromise shouldn't be 7.50%, the general manager is not good at math."
"...The mud plays triumphantly."
The girls' gossip was ended by a topic terminator. Darcy just came out of the office. They immediately sat in distress, pretending that they knew nothing, said nothing, and watched Darcy go to the general manager's office.
As soon as Darcy left, they immediately discussed the topic "Why did the old bear go to the general manager's office?"
Although the online sales data exploded, because there was no hope on the Internet, the number set was not large. The real sales data depends on the feedback after the official publication on the 8th.
"It seems that the purchasing power of Yu Siyang's fans is still good." Xu Yan casually lost.
After the previous P&H advertisement was released, the direct result was that P&H’s sales for the month were more than three times that of the previous six months.This time the magazine was published, and fans quickly maxed out the number.
After Xu Yan said this, the e-commerce manager's face was distorted for a moment. After thinking about it, he said: "The purchasing power of his fans is indeed not small, but a small part of the purchase data is because of those who like to take pictures. I bought it only for cats."
Xu Yan: "..." Is there such an operation?
