Chapter 201: The Direction of Effort (Ten Thousand Word Update!)
How does the saying go? The look in one's eyes when they like someone cannot be hidden.
Lu Yanhe coughed twice and moved his gaze away from Chen Siqi's face.
Li Pengfei gave a light hum, crossed his arms, and said, "Are you two really going to make a magazine?"
"Hmm." Chen Siqi nodded while eating her cake.
Li Pengfei looked at Chen Siqi in disbelief and said, "It's one thing for him to go crazy, why are you following him to go crazy too?"
Lu Yanhe said speechlessly, "You're the one going crazy."
"Going crazy is pretty good, better than being bored." Chen Siqi said seriously, "Anyway, there's nothing else to do."
Li Pengfei gasped and said, "I really admire you two. My god, this great vacation, and you two are the only perverts who think there's nothing to do. If there's nothing to do, go out and play! Play games!"
Chen Siqi looked at him pitifully and said, "Not everyone finds happiness in going out to play and playing games."
Li Pengfei was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Chen Siqi's words sounded almost philosophical.
He couldn't find words to refute it for a moment.
After Chen Siqi finished her cake, Lu Yanhe took out his laptop and said, "I have some ideas about this today."
Chen Siqi nodded, also took out a laptop from her bag, opened it, and created a new document. "Go ahead."
Li Pengfei looked at the two of them in shock.
Wait, it's starting just like that?
Without any warning, they just started as soon as they said so.
Li Pengfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart again that these two were truly a perfect match.
"Magazines all have style positioning. What kind do you want to make?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe said, "Regarding this, I don't actually have any special ideas. I just remember the magazines I've read, they were all quite interesting, with many interesting articles, rambling about everything under the sun, and some magazines were specifically for publishing novels."
Chen Siqi nodded and said, "Yes, comprehensive ones, news commentary ones, fashion ones, literary ones. Magazines are divided into many types. However, I personally feel that these categories are no longer applicable to the present. After all, public accounts are now more segmented than the original magazines. Distinguishing by style and content means that you have to make the content in this field very deep, and we don't have the strength to do that right now."
Lu Yanhe nodded. "Then how do you think it should be positioned?"
"We are a bunch of very unprofessional people to begin with, so this magazine can't possibly be professional. Plus, we just finished the college entrance exam. In the eyes of adults, our social experience is incredibly naive. Putting on airs will only be mocked." Chen Siqi said, "No concept is better than focusing on a theme of youth or adolescence. This is what we are most familiar with, and also the easiest to handle."
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "Hmm."
After nodding, Lu Yanhe realized belatedly that Chen Siqi had asked him what style of magazine he wanted to make, but in reality, Chen Siqi already had a plan in mind.
After discovering this, Lu Yanhe put down his previous thoughts and asked, "Since the theme and style are to be youth and adolescence, do you have any specific ideas?"
Chen Siqi thought for a moment and said, "I've thought of a few main sections: novels, essays, miscellaneous notes, and memoirs, photos, and even because this is an electronic magazine, we can put images inside."
Lu Yanhe nodded when he heard Chen Siqi say this.
"But before that, we must first clarify one thing: are we preparing to make it according to a formal commercial magazine, or just treat it as a hobby like a club activity?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe hesitated and said, "Although I don't know how long this thing can last, if we're going to do it, let's do it properly. If we treat it as a hobby like a club activity, the standards in all aspects will be lowered a lot."
"Alright, then there's a second question. Since we are going to make a commercial magazine, we certainly can't just rely on your fame to find your fans to subscribe to these magazines. Famous writers, other celebrities, or even other artists—we need to find more influential creators, just like magazines in the past would commission articles from many famous writers." Chen Siqi said, "In addition, where are we going to sell this magazine? We have to consider costs and revenue. Forget it, for the first attempt, revenue can be put aside for now, but we can't lose money while shouting. If we are just spending our own money for fun, then this commercial magazine won't be commercial at all."
Lu Yanhe said, "Since it's an electronic magazine, I think we can contact a few larger platforms, such as Ye Mai Network, or other websites, and publish it on their websites."
"Hmm, but how many people will believe that a magazine made by a group of high school graduates like us can be done well?" Chen Siqi said, "This brings us to the third question. Are we going to rely entirely on your artist identity to produce such a magazine? If we use your artist identity, I believe there will definitely be people willing to support you. After all, the production cost of this thing is very low, and with your fans paying for it, it won't lose money. However, do you want to position this magazine as a magazine for your fans?"
Lu Yanhe was silent.
Chen Siqi's question pointed straight to the depths of Lu Yanhe's heart.
He really didn't know if he wanted to or not. In fact, when the "don't know" attitude came out, the answer was already there.
If possible, he would certainly want to make it a proper magazine, not a fan-oriented work.
"However, without your power, this magazine definitely won't be made, I know that very well." Chen Siqi said, "So, we have to decide one thing: will Lu Yanhe's power and resources be kept only behind the scenes, only getting your help in the production link, or will your name also be put on the magazine, and after facing the market, still focus on your name?"
Lu Yanhe said frankly, "I hope it's the former. I hope this magazine is not just a fan-oriented work."
"Hmm." Chen Siqi nodded. "Then we will face a huge problem. Without your name on the magazine, who would be interested in an unknown electronic magazine? First, we have to solve this problem."
Li Pengfei had seen his dad talk about work with people.
Compared to his dad, Chen Siqi looked much greener. She looked like a student, conventional, acting as if it were a serious matter, but in reality, not "workplace" at all, not a "business person" at all.
If his dad were here, would his dad care if this thing was fan-oriented? For a new product, the most important thing is to let more people know, to survive.
Not even standing firm, and already thinking about running—the appetite is big enough.
If his dad were here, his dad would definitely say this.
For the first time, Li Pengfei felt he could point at the two of them in an old-fashioned way and scold them for not using their advantages, being idealistic all day long.
But Li Pengfei felt that it was also quite good for Lu Yanhe's name not to appear in front of the scenes; this way, if the magazine failed, it wouldn't affect Lu Yanhe.
So, Li Pengfei didn't say anything, just watched these two children who weren't even twenty years old whispering and planning the future of this magazine.
Wait—
Li Pengfei's gaze toward Chen Siqi suddenly became suspicious.
—It's quite good for Lu Yanhe's name not to appear in front of the scenes; this way, if the magazine failed, it wouldn't affect Lu Yanhe.
Chen Siqi wouldn't be thinking the same thing, so she went around such a big circle just to achieve this goal, right?
Could this girl, who faintly revealed a look of pride in her expression, be like this?
Li Pengfei thought seriously for a while and felt that he was overthinking it.
"Electronic magazine, or thematic e-book, no matter what form, we at Ye Mai Network need such a brand."
Xin Zixing handed the planning document she wrote at six o'clock in the morning to Liu Qiao.
Liu Qiao looked at the planning document in his hand in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You don't have enough things on your hands, and you're still thinking about doing new things?"
"Actually, it's not that I thought of it, it's that I heard some news, and I think I must seize the opportunity. Even if I don't do it, I have to tell you and let you arrange for someone to take over." Xin Zixing said, "I heard Lu Yanhe has the idea of making an electronic magazine."
The look of surprise on Liu Qiao's face deepened.
"Him? Electronic magazine?" Liu Qiao's first reaction was that it was impossible.
"Editor-in-Chief, don't forget that Lu Yanhe himself is the artist who deals with the publishing and writer circles the most. He just graduated from high school and is at his most idealistic time. It's perfectly normal for him to have such an idea. The question we need to consider now is whether he can succeed if he does this." Xin Zixing said.
Liu Qiao fell into deep thought.
"And this is why I took out this plan. I have suggested to you before that since our Ye Mai Network focuses on the literary concept, we cannot be without our own literary brand. Why was I able to attract many brands to invest when I did fashion and clothing before? Because we have our own style, not the cliché so-called fashion, and there is a large group of users who like this style." Xin Zixing said, "Our electronic book content section has always stayed at converting paper book copyrights, but hasn't established our own book series. Of course, I know that establishing our own book series is difficult and the investment is also large, but electronic magazines and thematic books are different. One issue every month or even every two months, pushed out stably—this will be the establishment of brand influence for Ye Mai."
Liu Qiao: "I know everything you said, of course, it's just that there hasn't been a suitable opportunity to do this. Making such a magazine or book requires a team, and our Ye Mai Network doesn't have a team that can do this right now."
"That's why I told you Lu Yanhe's idea at the first opportunity." Xin Zixing said, "We must win him over; this is the best opportunity."
Liu Qiao: "He doesn't have any experience, he's only nineteen."
"Doing a magazine doesn't require age." Xin Zixing said seriously, "Moreover, he is Lu Yanhe, he is not an ordinary high school graduate. The resources he can use are even more than ours, not to mention that we have Ye Mai Network behind him to help him."
Liu Qiao knew that he had been moved by Xin Zixing.
"Then are you still going to be the one to connect with him?" Liu Qiao said, "Are you too busy to handle it, won't you be spread too thin?"
Xin Zixing shook her head and said, "If you can arrange another person for me, of course I'm willing, but I guess you definitely won't arrange anyone else for me. Establishing the *City Travelogue* filming team already requires mobilizing several people. I'll also tell you that I plan to cultivate Liu Yajing to take over the work in fashion and clothing."
"Her? She works three days and rests two, can she be cultivated? She's just a connected person who came in to retire." Liu Qiao was not satisfied with Liu Yajing in his words.
Xin Zixing: "She is a connected person, but if placed in a suitable position, a connected person can also do well."
"Whatever you want, anyway, all the work in this section of our Ye Mai Network is supported by you alone, and the tens of millions of advertising fees every year are pulled back by your section. Just don't affect these." Liu Qiao said.
Xin Zixing: "I will be the final gatekeeper, don't worry."
"Then you really want to pull Lu Yanhe to do this electronic magazine?"
"To be precise, thematic books are more suitable for the electronic reading interface." Xin Zixing said, "As long as you approve, I will immediately connect with him and come up with a concrete promotion plan, how about it?"
"If you are willing to take the lead, of course I'm OK. I have always valued you in our content editorial department, you know that." Liu Qiao said.
Xin Zixing nodded, "OK, then Editor-in-Chief, how much money do you plan to give me to make this book?"
She looked at Liu Qiao with a smile and asked.
"Mingyin's *Star Orbit* is very suitable for the theme we have determined." Chen Siqi said, "This is a book you recommended. You must know that it's the growth trajectory of a group of high school students, which includes elements of warmth, miracles, friendship, dreams, etc. Now this book is also very popular, and it's still ranked in the top ten of sales lists on major platforms. If we can invite Mingyin to write a series of short stories for *Star Orbit*, we will have the first article that can attract readers."
Lu Yanhe wrote it down, nodded, and said, "I'll contact Mingyin, but I don't know if she's willing."
"Try to win her over first. Besides Mingyin, do you have any other writers you can contact?"
Lu Yanhe said, "The only writers I know are Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin."
"Liu Jiazhen writes crime suspense, maybe it's not suitable for our theme?" Chen Siqi said, "Or is he willing to write one around our theme?"
"Have to ask him, I'll ask both Mingyin and him." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi nodded, "Besides the two of them, we have to do one thing these two days: collect creators who match our theme and style positioning, and then invite them to contribute together. Besides novel creation, I thought about it, there are actually many contents that can be put into the magazine, such as real high school stories."
"Do you have any ideas about which sections the magazine should have?"
"Currently, I only thought that besides novels and essays, there is also a truth-telling column. I want to invite contributions from real high school students and ask them to say some things they usually dare not say to others anonymously." Chen Siqi said, "Do you have any ideas?"
"I have a few ideas."
Lu Yanhe opened the document he wrote and turned his computer screen to Chen Siqi.
"The first is memoirs. Because when I designed it, I thought it was mainly for Ye Mai Network users. Ye Mai Network users are mainly between twenty and thirty-five years old, and most of them have already graduated from high school. So, I want to make a section for recalling high school time, finding some high school stories that resonate with everyone."
"The second is the student days of celebrity artists. I will invite a few people to write about their student days, which should also attract some attention."
"If you can invite some celebrity artists to write this, it should attract a lot of attention."
Li Pengfei listened to the two of them discussing it seriously for almost an hour, and it was almost noon. He was really surprised, not expecting these two to be for real.
"I say, do you two want to pause and take a break?" Li Pengfei asked, "Talking for so long, aren't you tired?"
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were interrupted by him and were stunned for a moment. Looking at the time, they realized it was already twelve o'clock without them knowing.
"Let's have lunch first, what to eat?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Pengfei: "I just brushed past a very good shop, let's go, I'll take you there."
He immediately became bright and smiling.
After getting in the car, Lu Yanhe prepared to organize the content he had just discussed with Chen Siqi, and his phone suddenly vibrated.
When he saw that it was a message from Xin Zixing, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He held his breath and clicked on the message: Yanhe, I'm very interested in the idea you proposed yesterday. Shall we find a time to meet and talk?
Lu Yanhe opened his eyes in surprise.
"Yes!" He looked at Chen Siqi excitedly, "It's done!"
"What's done?" Chen Siqi asked, not understanding.
Lu Yanhe said, "I contacted Ye Mai Network, and an editor I know just replied to me, saying she's interested in our magazine and wants to meet me to talk."
Chen Siqi didn't seem surprised, nodded, and said, "Then you talk to her, see what she says, and what conditions she can offer."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded and said again, "How about you come with me?"
Chen Siqi looked at him in surprise and said, "She only invited you, not me."
"That's because she doesn't know you are also involved in this. Since she wants to talk to me about the magazine, it would be better if you also participate." Lu Yanhe said, "You have many ideas about this magazine, only you know them best."
Li Pengfei was driving, and when he heard Lu Yanhe say that someone was really interested, he just felt it was incredible.
In this day and age, someone really believes that an electronic magazine can succeed?! -
At three-thirty in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi arrived downstairs at the Ye Mai Network company.
Driver Li Pengfei.
"I'll just drop you off here, I won't worry about you, I still have to go pick up Xu Zijun."
"Got it, thank you." Lu Yanhe waved at Li Pengfei.
Li Pengfei stepped on the gas and left.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at the high-rise building in front of them together.
Ye Mai Network specifically rented a five-story building for itself, but because the building was not in the CBD in the city center, but in the science and technology park in the suburbs, the rent was much cheaper.
As soon as Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi entered the main gate, they were stopped by the security guard.
The security guard looked at them and asked, "What are you here for?"
Lu Yanhe said, "We have an appointment to meet someone, she'll be down to pick us up in a moment."
"Oh." The security guard looked at them, and seeing that they didn't mean to force their way in, he didn't care and sat back on his chair.
After a while, Xin Zixing came running over in a hurry.
"Sorry, kept you waiting." Xin Zixing greeted the security guard and let them in.
Lu Yanhe: "No, thank you, Sister Zixing, for your help."
Xin Zixing beckoned and said, "Let's go to my office to talk."
Xin Zixing's office was very tidy, with many materials, but very tidy. This was the first impression the office gave people.
Xin Zixing asked Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi to sit and asked, "What to drink? Coffee or water?"
"Water is fine."
Xin Zixing poured them two glasses of water, sat back down, and looked at Chen Siqi.
On the way to the office just now, Lu Yanhe had already introduced her to Xin Zixing.
Xin Zixing smiled slightly at Chen Siqi and asked, "Can I understand how you two suddenly thought of making an electronic magazine?"
"To be honest, Sister Zixing, you might not believe it, but we two just started talking about it that day at the book fair, and because this summer vacation is very boring, we hit it off and wanted to do this together." Lu Yanhe said, "We both liked reading magazines when we were in school, but later many magazines stopped publishing. At that time, we joked that if we had the chance in the future, we would make a magazine."
Xin Zixing nodded and said, "Now almost no company will launch a new magazine, and electronic magazines are even more so. Before paper magazines completely died out, electronic magazines ended in failure."
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe said, "We also know, so we just asked with a glimmer of hope."
"However, I think forms and carriers can change." Xin Zixing nodded, "Today I also want to talk to you, if we change the electronic magazine to a Mook, and make it a thematic book, would you be willing?"
Mook translated into Chinese is actually magazine-style books.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi were both stunned and a bit surprised.
Xin Zixing picked up three books from her desk and handed them to them.
"You can take a look, these are Mooks published within the last three years, all of which are books edited and compiled by famous writers." Xin Zixing said, "Actually, the form is very similar to a magazine, but the volume will be larger than a conventional magazine. I also think this form will be more suitable for electronic reading than traditional magazines. What do you think?"
Chen Siqi said, "But such a Mook requires a high degree of fame for the editor-in-chief, right?"
"On this point, I think Yanhe's fame is enough." Xin Zixing said, "A Mook launched with him as the editor-in-chief will definitely get a lot of attention."
"We don't intend to let Yanhe's name appear in the magazine's editorial team." Chen Siqi said.
Xin Zixing was stunned.
"Why?"
"Because we want it to be purer." Chen Siqi said, "Relying on Lu Yanhe's name to promote this magazine, or Mook, will make it a product with strong fan attributes, which is not our original intention."
Xin Zixing looked at them in shock, obviously not expecting them to have this idea.
If Lu Yanhe doesn't hang as the editor-in-chief, will anyone watch this Mook?
"I know, this will definitely make you and Ye Mai Network full of doubts." Chen Siqi said, "The production funding for the first issue will be covered by us. Ye Mai Network only needs to be responsible for putting it on the shelves and promoting it. If you feel it's OK, we can continue to do it, and then we can talk about follow-up cooperation, how about it?"
Chen Siqi sat upright, radiating a kind of unyielding spirit that belonged only to her age.
Xin Zixing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Zixing, I know you must have doubts, but I am not doing this with an attitude of playing around. In fact, we just don't want this book to be branded with the name Lu Yanhe. I will still do my best to make this book well. We have already conceived three sections, you can take a look."
Chen Siqi took out the printed materials from her bag and handed them to Xin Zixing.
Xin Zixing hesitated and took them into her hand.
"The first section, fiction novels. We are preparing to invite Mingyin, the author of the very popular *Star Orbit*, and Liu Jiazhen, the author of *Nineteen Years of Crime Records*, to create short stories for our theme. Of course, we will also try our best to invite more famous writers to join through the relationship of Jiang Yin Publishing House."
"The second section, the student days of celebrity artists. We are preparing to invite Jiang Yuqian, Li Zhibai, Yan Liang, and other artists, of course, including Lu Yanhe, to write memoir articles about their student days."
"The third section, we want to make a call for contributions on Ye Mai Network, collecting everyone's memories of their school days, and putting good stories and good articles into the book."
Chen Siqi briefly introduced the ideas they had come up with so far.
Xin Zixing was a bit surprised by the initiative of these two young people, who had actually organized a rough framework.
"The current design is very interesting, but can you invite these people?"
"Let's try hard in this direction first." Lu Yanhe took over the conversation, "But we will do this seriously."
Xin Zixing nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, I can't give you a very clear answer today either. As you said, if the editor-in-chief cannot hang your name, I'll tell the truth, many people will not be at ease with this plan. However, the plan you have put forward makes me very tempted. If you can finally make 50% of the creators of this book reach the creator level on this plan, I will give you the green light. For production funding, you make a detailed list for me. Since it's cooperation with Ye Mai Network, we definitely can't take advantage of you, especially since this is your project, Lu Yanhe. Our company's senior management will not allow facing such a white-taking public opinion crisis. It's just that whether this production funding can be obtained in the end depends on how much of your plan can be realized."
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at each other.
Chen Siqi nodded.
Lu Yanhe said okay.
Xin Zixing nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your news. To tell you the truth, I really hope this Mook can be made and become a long-term brand of our Ye Mai Network."
After the two sides finished talking, Xin Zixing sent them out.
As a result, as soon as they went out, they were surprised by the crowd at the door.
Outside Xin Zixing's office door, there were more than a dozen people standing.
Xin Zixing looked at them in surprise and asked, "What are you standing here for?"
Someone looked at Lu Yanhe embarrassedly and said, "We heard that Lu Yanhe is here, so we want to come over and see him."
Lu Yanhe nodded to them in a flattered manner.
Some people were taking pictures of him with their phones, and some were discussing with the people next to them. Lu Yanhe could hear what they were saying, the general meaning was that he was very handsome in person.
Lu Yanhe was already used to such scenes, but the situation happening today made Lu Yanhe surprised.
This is Ye Mai Network, Lu Yanhe thought everyone was relatively knowledgeable, and wouldn't be so surprised because of his appearance.
Xin Zixing waved her hand at them and said, "He is here to talk about work with me, don't pester him like a fan. Hurry up and do your own work."
"At least let us take a group photo, right?" Someone said.
Xin Zixing was a bit helpless and looked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said no problem.
Thus, Lu Yanhe took a group photo with them.
Everyone's welcome made Lu Yanhe feel a bit flattered.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he had been welcomed by so many people in a company.
There were even people coming one after another after hearing the news, just wanting to see him with their own eyes.
In the past, Lu Yanhe had the name of an idol artist but actually didn't feel the degree of his popularity as a star. Later, on stage and on the road, he met some people who recognized him and wanted autographs and photos.
This time, the welcome he received at Ye Mai Network felt completely different to Lu Yanhe. Being suddenly surrounded by a group of people, their expressions were truly liking him and appreciating him, which felt different from being recognized on the road and wanting an autograph. The former was a real liking for him, the latter was more of an excitement of meeting a celebrity.
"Come on, Lu Yanhe! You have to be good, you have to always be as youthful and sunny as you are now, don't do those illegal things, don't let us collapse!" A young woman said loudly.
Lu Yanhe looked back at the woman with a wry smile.
Immediately, another person said with a smile: "Come on, cooperate more with our Ye Mai Network in the future, come to our Ye Mai Network more!"
Lu Yanhe nodded with a smile, and they walked all the way to the gate of the Ye Mai Network company, with many people following behind.
Xin Zixing shook her head and said helplessly, "You are really popular at our Ye Mai Network, many people like the *City Travelogue* you filmed very much."
Most of the people who come to work at Ye Mai Network have some literary youth in them. This year, such a literary artist suddenly popped up, and he was so awesome, not at all like other artists who were all the same, just like hitting their vital point, Lu Yanhe became the idol of many people.
Lu Yanhe thanked Xin Zixing with a smile.
At this time, the car called by Chen Siqi arrived.
Xin Zixing sent them into the car and watched them leave.
"Then these people have to be invited through your relationship."
After getting in the car, Chen Siqi said to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said, "I'll contact them these two days."
Chen Siqi said, "Okay, these few days, I will also go online and some creative platforms to collect some people suitable for inviting contributions. Whether it's an internet celebrity or a UP host, as long as it's a blogger with a certain number of fans and popularity, I will screen them all, and then we will determine which ones are more suitable, and then send them an invitation."
Lu Yanhe said, "How about waiting a bit, wait for me to ask Sister Yuqian and the others if they are willing. If they are willing, after getting Ye Mai Network's consent, we will push it forward."
"If Ye Mai Network doesn't agree, will you not do it?" Chen Siqi asked.
Lu Yanhe hesitated and said, "It's not that I won't do it if they don't agree, it's just that if they don't agree, even if we make it ourselves, there is no channel to put it on the shelves for everyone to buy."
"I will also look for other suitable platforms." Chen Siqi said, "If Ye Mai Network can't do it, see if other platforms can do it."
Lu Yanhe looked at her in surprise.
"Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Chen Siqi said, "My dad did business, and at first, it was negotiated one by one. The writers and artists we can contact are resources that others can't contact no matter how hard they try. We already have an advantage."
"The problem is, we don't know anything about the profession." Lu Yanhe said, "I was thinking that if Ye Mai Network agrees, editing, layout, and design can all be handed over to them."
"We can also hire people ourselves." Chen Siqi said directly, "Now the internet is developed, professional personnel are easy to find, it's just that suitable ones are hard to find. Anyway, a new magazine, a new team, all need to be run-in. Running-in with Ye Mai Network's people is running-in, and running-in with people we find ourselves is also running-in."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Siqi: "Besides, you are going to Zhenhua University soon, and I am going to Jiangguang University soon. How many capable people are there in school? I don't know how many awesome people there are in every university. As long as we can find them, in the future, whether it's in design or text editing, we won't lack people."
Chen Siqi looked proud and confident.
Actually, Lu Yanhe knew that this matter was definitely not that simple, and would definitely encounter many difficulties. Including those talented classmates in school, he knew there must be some, but they might not be willing to join. Even if they were willing to join, whether they could immediately enter the production of a commercial magazine was hard to say. This all required running-in and cooperation time after time.
But seeing Chen Siqi's confident look, Lu Yanhe felt that he still had to learn from Chen Siqi.
No matter how many difficulties, don't tell yourself first, just confidently, proudly believe in yourself, and no matter how many difficulties, they will all be solved.
Lu Yanhe laughed.
He said, "No matter what, at least we have to make one."
"Hmm, since we decided to do it, we have to make something." Chen Siqi nodded.
When calling Yan He, Lu Yanhe told her about his plan to make a magazine.
Yan He was silent for several seconds.
"Are you serious with me?"
"Hmm."
"Have you... thought about this carefully?"
"No." Lu Yanhe said frankly, "After thinking about it for a night, I decided to do it."
"Then do you think you can do it?"
"I want to do it, I will make it happen." Lu Yanhe said.
Yan He sighed with a smile and said, "Alright, I hope you're not just having a whim. I don't think you're that kind of character either."
"Hmm, I'm doing this with a classmate."
"Classmate? Which classmate?"
"Chen Siqi."
"Oh, her." Yan He's reaction made Lu Yanhe a bit surprised, because Yan He's tone suddenly had a bit of "no wonder" meaning.
Lu Yanhe knew Yan He must have misunderstood.
But in fact, it wasn't a misunderstanding.
If he weren't doing this with Chen Siqi, Lu Yanhe didn't know if he would be so proactive.
Yan He said, "You still have *Young Days* to record later, and you still have to go to school. Are you sure you still have the energy to do this?"
"Now it's summer vacation, we have nothing to do, so I said let's find something to do. Let's make the first one first, and see how to do the rest later."
"Okay, that's pretty good, better than you going to play games." Yan He said, "However, there is one thing I want to tell you. There is a film company that wants to make a college entrance exam inspirational film based on you, and they came to me to talk about the copyright. What do you think?"
"Ah?" As soon as Lu Yanhe heard this, he shook his head, "No, let's not."
Make a film based on him?
It really felt a bit strange.
He was able to make a comeback in the college entrance exam, but he didn't really make a comeback in this year, he had his own accumulation before crossing over.
In this situation, making a film based on him, what is filmed looks real, but it is not real.
Yan He said, "They are willing to pay 500,000 yuan for the copyright. Are you sure you want to refuse? You don't have to share this copyright fee with the company, and you can get hundreds of thousands after tax."
Lu Yanhe's heart skipped a beat.
500,000?!
Is making money so easy?
Lu Yanhe had to admit that he was really, really tempted.
But after calming down a little, he still gritted his teeth and refused.
Does he lack this 500,000 now?
Yes.
But not that urgently.
Lu Yanhe didn't want everyone to pay too much attention to his year of comeback that didn't fit.
You can promote his hard work, his diligence, his spirit of challenging the impossible.
But he couldn't accept becoming a true comeback inspirational person and showing the past year in the form of a film.
He didn't know what the film would look like, but he couldn't imagine what it could look like no matter how he thought about it.
Lu Yanhe didn't want these things to affect his current life state and work state, which were clearly getting better.
Yan He said, "Since that's the case, then I'll help you refuse."
"Hmm."
"There is a gala in Beijing in August that invited you to perform." Yan He said, "I accepted it for you, sing a song, they specified the track, you learn it, I'll send it to you later."
"Ah? Okay." Lu Yanhe was happy to hear that he had new work again. ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
