010 All kinds of publicity
The next day, Ye Fan got up early and asked Ye Chu to go out for a morning jog together. This time Ye Fan learned his lesson and found a relatively secluded place to practice morning exercises. Ye Chu was exercising on the side. Ye Fan finally finished a few sets of punches before he and
Ye Chu returned home together.
Seeing that Cao Xin and Zeng Li had already gotten up and had breakfast, and no one else was there, they should have free time after dinner. The two went back to the room to change clothes, then went over to make a bowl of porridge and eat together.
"As soon as I finish eating, I'm going to go out and look for a photography store to see if there are any suitable costumes. Do you want to go together?" Ye Fan peeled the eggs and asked, "Let's go to Dabei Photography Studio first. After all, it's in
Yanjing is the biggest, just go there and have a look, if there is something suitable over there, you don’t have to run any further.”
Cao Xin said: "Okay, let's come together. Anyway, we have nothing to do today, so we just want to go for a walk."
Zeng Li also replied: "I've also heard of Dabei. I passed by it several times when I went to Qianmen to play, but I never had the nerve to go in and take a look. I also want to visit it. It would be a good idea to go together."
Ye Chu nodded indifferently, and Ye Fan nodded and continued eating after hearing what the two said.
Cao Xin and Zeng Li finished eating first, and both urged Ye Fan and Ye Chu to eat faster. It was obvious that no matter what age, women have no resistance to taking beautiful photos of themselves, and their enthusiasm was terrifying. Ye Fan turned the pages
Rolling his eyes, he thought to himself.
Dabei Photo Studio is one of the largest photo studios in the country. It was founded in 1921. Its main business premises is at No. 2 Qianmen Street, covering an area of 4,200 square meters, with 10 photo studios and an equipment department.
The four of them came to Dabei Photo Studio and looked at the time-honored brand in front of them. Zeng Li and Cao Xin were both excited and curious. They watched Ye Fan and Ye Chu walk in and quickly followed them.
Huo Nian was the receptionist of Dabei Photo Studio. He saw four young people coming in and greeted them. Although he was surprised by the appearance of the four people in front of him, he still asked in a professional manner: "Hello, sir and madam, my surname is Huo.
Are you here to take pictures today? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Fan looked at Huo Nian and said: "Hello, Brother Huo, my surname is Ye. We want to take a few photos, but they are just costume photos. I know this is a time-honored brand in Yanjing, so I came here to take a look first."
Huo Nian felt a little regretful when he heard what Ye Fan said, but he still smiled and replied: "Hey, I'm so sorry, we haven't filmed costumes for a long time. If we could, with your looks,
After taking the photo, I will definitely apply to you and hang it in our photo studio."
Zeng Li and Cao Xin looked at the photos on the wall of the photo studio, as well as the internal environment and equipment. They liked it very much and thought it would be great to take pictures here. When they heard Huo Nian's words, they felt very disappointed. Why couldn't they?
Are you in costume for filming?
Ye Chu said: "Mr. Huo, it's a costume, not a costume. Doesn't a photo studio as big as yours have this kind of business?"
Huo Nian smiled sheepishly: "You guys are still young, so you may not know. It's not that we don't have this business. It's because of some ZZ reasons in the 1960s and 1970s that costumes and ancient costumes have been discontinued until now.
It’s a pity that we couldn’t take the photo, please forgive me!”
Zeng Li continued to ask, but Ye Fan already understood what was going on. He stopped Zeng Li and smiled at Huo Nian: "Brother Huo, I understand, so excuse me. We are going to another house to have a look."
"Brother Ye, I'm really sorry." Huo Nian replied: "This is the business card of our store. I think they all have very good images and temperaments. If you want to take other photos in the future, you can contact us and we will give you a discount then.
"
Ye Fan took the business card and said, "Thank you in advance. I'll do it next time." After saying that, the group left.
On the way, Zeng Li asked curiously: "Xiao Fan, what's the reason? You didn't let me ask. Do you know what he said?"
Cao Xin and Ye Chu also looked interested, and Ye Fan replied: "You may not know much about it, but I can guess some things about that era. It should be about Grandpa and his generation. I can't say specifically.
This chapter cannot be published or it needs to be revised."
When Ye Chu and Cao Xin heard what Ye Fan said, they thought thoughtfully and probably understood. Zeng Li still looked confused. When Cao Xin saw this, she whispered in Zeng Li's ear. Only then did Zeng Li
Suddenly, I stopped asking any more.
Then everyone started looking at photography shops one after another, but they still couldn't find the right one. Either there was no Feiyu suit that met Ye Fan's standards, and there weren't many other people's clothes that were fully suitable. Xiuchundao was simply not available, or it was
Zeng Li and Cao Xin looked down upon some of the shooting results. After all, Ye Fan's focus was on the market dominated by students, and the photos had to be good-looking. In this regard, he believed in the two women's vision. Ye Chu didn't care, so he just followed.
Walk.
As a result, they still hadn't found a suitable photography studio by noon. However, Zeng Li and Cao Xin had a little fun shopping and bought a lot of snacks. There happened to be two carrying bags that could be used. Ye Chu and Ye Fan looked at each other helplessly and smiled.
.
After returning home and having lunch, Ye Chu asked: "Xiao Fan, why can't those clothes work? I think the effect of wearing them should be good."
Ye Fan shook his head and replied: "It's not that it's not good, it's just that I can't achieve the effect I want, so I either don't do it or do my best if I do it."
Zeng Li asked: "What should I do now? I have searched all the lively places in the city, but nothing is suitable, and probably even less so in other places."
Cao Xin comforted her and said, "Don't worry. You can see that Xiao Fan doesn't look worried. He must have found a solution. Let's eat first. After dinner, we will go out for a walk in the afternoon. I think there are many more interesting places on the street in the morning."
, we’re going to take a look.”
Ye Fan rolled his eyes and said to Zeng Li, "You guys go play in the afternoon. I have some ideas, but I have to go out in the afternoon to ask."
Ye Chu didn't ask how to solve the problem. Since Ye Fan didn't ask for his help, there must be a way. He happened to be looking for his girlfriend in the afternoon.
Ye Fan didn't wait for them, ate the rest of the meal in a few bites, and went out.
Ye Fan went to Jufulou first. Ye Jun and Zhang Yue went to the store to work hard in the morning. Now the reputation of Jufulou is gradually spreading. With more and more people in Zhongguancun, the business of Jufulou is getting better and better.
, Zhang Yue often came over to help when she had time. The money she earned has paid off the welfare housing that Zhang Yue applied for, and the property rights were also settled with Ye Fan's reminder.
Inflation had already begun in 1994. Ye Jun and his two men planned to let Ye Fan live in that house. Of course Ye Fan was happy with it. After all, there were so many little secrets, so the decoration plan had already started under Ye Fan's suggestion. Decorate early and save early.
money.
When Ye Fan rushed to the store, there were many people coming to eat fast food after dinner. Ye Fan said hello to his parents and helped.
Seeing that he was almost busy, Ye Fan walked to the counter and said to Zhang Yue: "Mom, business has been good during this period. No wonder you often come over here directly after get off work. Is it okay with the school?"
Zhang Yue didn't even look up, she lowered her head and calculated the accounts and said: "We have been in school for so many years, and we know everything we teach. If there is new content, why don't we take time to prepare lessons? My monthly salary is only that much. Here I am
You can also save a lot of money by coming to help. Otherwise, the house and decoration money would not be available so quickly. Fortunately, the final payment for the decoration is not very large. It is rare to see you coming to help today. Tell me, what can I do?"
Ye Fan poured a glass of water for Zhang Yue, explained the whole story, and then said: "Mom, I want you to help me ask if there is any company or person in your school that can customize Hanfu or Hu costumes.
Customize a few sets according to my ideas, and I won’t ask my brothers and sisters to help me in vain. The clothes made can be given to them as souvenirs.”
Zhang Yue thought for a while and said: "I seem to remember that there is a teacher in charge of this. I will ask you when I go to school tomorrow. Our school does not have it. There must be some at the Academy of Opera. However, it is quite expensive for you to customize this kind of clothes. Xiao
Fan, do you have that much money to make a few more sets?"
Ye Jun came over and heard Zhang Yue's words at this time and said: "Yes, Xiao Fan, you don't have much money yourself. If you don't have enough money, you can't take it from the store."
"This is not only my business, but also for the book to sell well. If the book sells well, the publishing house will gain the most revenue, and it will be profitable. Besides, this is not cheap for me, but it is not included in the publicity and production costs.
How much? I will go to my uncle to discuss it soon. It is best to include this fee into the cost of printing the book." Ye Fan shook his head and said: "Besides, we four handsome guys and beauties, other people's photography studios want us to be the photographers.
The model gives us money, and we take photos to use in books, but by then we don’t know who is taking advantage, and we haven’t even asked them to charge for the image rights.”
Ye Jun smiled and joked: "You are the only one with more clever ideas."
Zhang Yue also smiled and said: "Since you have an idea, I won't say anything more. Don't be poor. Use the store phone to call your uncle. If he is free, go to him first.
We'll wait for everyone to finish leaving, and then go back first." After saying that, his face changed, and he said with a look of disgust: "I don't expect you to come over to help me in the evening, just bring less people over to have a meal in the future."
Ye Fan could only touch his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Don't you also want to introduce some business? After all, I know the people I brought here, and they are relatively reliable."
After hearing this, Ye Jun smiled at Ye Fan and said, "If it hadn't been like this, your mother would have given you a good look. I'm just kidding you, so hurry up and call me."
Ye Fan could only make a phone call angrily, thinking: 'Are you bringing too many people here? You have to make money quickly. Otherwise, prices will rise even more in the next two years. You have to make money quickly to buy a courtyard house and stock it up.
We must learn from Cao Daguan.'
After talking to Zhang Yang on the phone and knowing that he was free, Ye Fan went to his uncle's house.
Zhang Yang's house was a house that was allocated by Yanjing Youth Publishing House in the east district of the city. This year, they followed Zhang Yue's example and relied on the couple's savings to buy a house and pay for the house.
Ye Fan arrived at Zhang Yang's house, and his aunt Liu Qing and cousin Zhang Jun were also there.
Liu Qing and Zhang Yang used to work at Youth Publishing House, but because of the company's prefix "public", Liu Qing was fine. He was just an ordinary employee, so he just needed to be more stable.
Zhang Yang was working in a publishing house, and if there were no surprises, he would have to go through qualifications if he wanted to move up. However, his cousin Zhang Jun was born in 1975. As Zhang Jun grew up, taking into account the family's financial situation, Zhang Yang faced the situation at that time.
Jin Lihong's invitation has passed. At present, the position and salary are definitely better than those at Youth Publishing House.
Zhang Jun is 19 years old this year. He comes from a scholarly family. Influenced by his family, he usually likes to write something and submit articles. He is currently majoring in journalism at Yanjing Communication University. His ideas are relatively traditional. He will follow his family and work in a publishing house.
However, Ye Fan feels that this major has great potential in the future. After all, there are quite a lot of talents coming out of Communication University. The ones that left a deep impression on Ye Fan were the host Luo Jing and the unexpected Wang Dachui.
The house of Zhang Yang's family is not big. Ye Fan estimated that it only has three rooms of seventy or eighty square meters. After sitting down in the living room, Ye Fan told Zhang Yang his thoughts and plans.
Zhang Yang said: "I think there is no problem with this plan. As long as the novel cover you make is really good and exquisite, it will also affect piracy and help the sales of genuine copies. If it is divided into the cost, I think it can be negotiated.
Of course, in the end, it still depends on what the club wants."
Ye Fan did not expect that it would affect piracy, so he smiled and praised: "You are still smarter when you are old. Uncle, you are worthy of being an old man. You think more comprehensively than me." After speaking, Liu Qinghe gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Jun listened and laughed.
Zhang Yang laughed and scolded: "You old man, you think I am a member of society. But first of all, it depends on the effect of your cover, otherwise it will have no effect if I say it. After all, the society also has to make money.
"
Ye Fan said: "I definitely understand, it's just that I'm a newcomer and have big publicity resources.
Now I don’t have the reputation or qualifications to ask for it, so I can only think of ways to promote it at a low cost.”
At this time, Liu Qing said: "In that case, I also read some of your manuscripts. Don't you have 4 of them? You can serialize some of them in Huayi's journals, and then see if you can submit them or let Huayi
Contact some well-connected daily newspapers and serialize part of it to arouse readers' interest, and you can get some royalties."
"Yeah, I also read it and it's pretty good." Zhang Jun also said: "I can also help you promote it in the school. After all, there are quite a few students in our school who like martial arts novels."
"Yeah, uncle, I'm not familiar with this business. These are things I didn't expect. When the book comes out, I'll buy some for my classmates and friends, as well as my cousin, so that everyone can read them.
Help me promote it." Ye Fan patted his head after hearing this and said, "Can the novel be serialized in Huayi's journal for a few days first? Can you contact me about the daily newspaper?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yang pondered for a while and said: "There is definitely no problem with our journals, but we need to discuss how much we will serialize. For daily newspapers, we have to ask Editor Li and President Jin. After all, they have wider connections.
"
When Ye Fan heard this, he unexpectedly came to his uncle's house and got an unexpected surprise.
So Ye Fan thanked him sincerely: "Uncle, aunt, and cousin, I have benefited a lot from coming to your place. I don't need to say many words of thanks. I will keep them all in my heart." After saying that, he changed his voice and said: "The treatment.
I will eat more during dinner, so you don’t need to persuade me."
The three of them were startled when they heard this, and then burst out laughing at the same time, filling the living room with a joyful atmosphere.
After successfully having a meal at his uncle's house, Ye Fan looked at Zhang Yang's amused expression when he left, and went home contentedly to wait for the news.
