Just when Zhang Shaoping was confused, within half an hour, Hu Junyi knocked on the door and walked in. "Brother Hu?" Zhang Shaoping stood up and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down." Hu Junyi said, "You are so generous!" "What do you mean?" Zhang Shaoping looked at him doubtfully. "Did you just approve Wang Weiwei's plan to invite Elizabeth Taylor, Brooke Shields, and Catherine Deneuve to jointly shoot the cover of the magazine?" "Yes, I proposed this plan." He expressed. After being polite, Zhang Shaoping sat down again, "Sit down and speak slowly." Hu Junyi sat down on the sofa and asked: "Let me tell you, brother, do you know that hiring these three actresses is very expensive?" Zhang Shaoping thought to himself: Isn't this nonsense? Who on earth doesn't know that they are "valuable"? He smiled and said: "It's worth the money!" "You still have time to laugh? When you read this, I hope you can still laugh." Hu Junyi said, placing a thin booklet in front of Zhang Shaoping , looks quite like a roster. ¡°What is it?¡± Zhang Shaoping opened the booklet. It was all written in English. Zhang Shaoping's English is not very standard, but it is not difficult to read these tadpole essays. After all, Hong Kong is a British colony, and Zhang Shaoping's previous reading scores were not bad, so he can still understand what is written in the book. "Staff roster?" Zhang Shaoping flipped through a few pages and was about to raise his head to ask Hu Junyi what he meant. Suddenly he was stunned, "What is this? Payroll I'll give you a damn, an annual salary of 400,000 US dollars?" Is it wrong? Added an extra zero?" Hu Junyi saw Zhang Shaoping's shocked look. It felt so good, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he sipped the tea happily. Youyouran said: "It's worth the money!" Being teased by this guy with his own words made Zhang Shaoping dumbfounded. He asked: "Is this Patrick awesome? When did the photographer get such a sky-high contract? " "Niu Shisan" is an original word that Zhang Shao usually talks about. Hu Junyi, who has been with him for a long time, still knows it. Hu Junyi put down the tea cup and said: "This price can sign Patrick Demarchelier. , it¡¯s still worth the money. He already has his own style in fashion and beauty photography, and many popular star models are willing to sell him.¡± Hu Junyi then introduced Patrick Dema to Zhang Shaoping. Sheriya. Patrick started to take up photography when he was 17 years old. I worked in the fashion capital Paris for 11 years. During this period, I was fortunate enough to work as an assistant with the world's top photography master Cartier-Bresson, and gradually developed my personal photography style. Finally, in 1974, at the age of 31, he was discovered by Alexander Lieberman, the creative director of Vogue magazine. And invited to New York for development. "Vogue" magazine. In later Chinese translations, it means "fashion", and it can be called the American version of "Fashion" magazine. However, this "Vogue" magazine is much more famous than Zhang Shaoping's "Fashion" magazine. It is already a popular international fashion magazine. Every time it is mentioned, people compare it with "Elle" and "Life". Wang Weiwei originally came from "Vogue" magazine, and Zhang Shaoping certainly has a deep understanding of these world-famous magazines. The second highest paid person is Mario Testino. Annual salary is $300,000. "Is this Mario Testino brought by Tina Brown from England?" Zhang Shaoping raised his head and asked Hu Junyi, who clearly remembered it. When Tina Brown agreed to go to New York to set up a company, she asked to bring a few helpers with her. Hu Junyi nodded and said: "Yes, Mario is the person brought by Brown. He is very young, but also very energetic and worthy of training." He did not say whether Mario Testino was worth the salary, but said Worth cultivating, which means that this person has great potential, even if the annual salary is a little higher in exchange for retaining talents. Of course Zhang Shaoping would not have an opinion about Mario Testino's high salary. Not to mention that this fashionista has already made a name for himself in Europe and is popular among many luxury goods. Just for the sake of Tina Brown, Zhang Shaoping would not refute her decision. Zhang Shaoping closed the book, leaned on the sofa, and asked: "Okay, these two guys, I admit that the salary is a bit high, but you also said that it is worth the money, will you just let me "Watch it, okay?" Hu Junyi shook his head and said, "You haven't even read the pages at the back. You can't think of anything more exciting! Do you know that Brown and Wang Weiwei set out to get contributions from famous writers? The fee is not less than 1,500 US dollars per 1,000 words, and the price is even as high as 10,000 US dollars for 1,000 words. "What? 10,000 US dollars for 1,000 words?" Are you kidding me now? Zhang Shaoping was completely shockedWow, he has never seen such crazy poaching. The price is so high that almost all freelance writers, writers, and senior media commentators will go crazy for it. Zhang Shaoping finally understood why he felt that the expressions of Wang Weiwei and the other three women were weird just now. This is the reason! Contributors are different from photographers. Except for some freelance photographers, most photographers sign contracts with companies and receive a fixed annual salary. According to Hu Junyi, contributors are completely calculated based on the number of words. , if a manuscript has tens of thousands of words, then the fee is 100,000, which is quite scary. In fact, what Tina Brown did was the same method she used for Vanity Fair in another time and space, when she was valued by Newhouse, but in this time and space, she used it on "Vogue" magazine. Tina Brown's approach was very simple, no matter the cost, she went to great lengths to recruit the best magazine writers and photographers in New York, and provided them with unprecedentedly generous contracts. Several of them received six-figure remunerations - almost the most at that time. 2 times the royalties of most magazines. The best compensation can lead to the best high-quality manuscripts, this is Tina Brown's belief. Even for manuscripts that she reluctantly gave up, she also set rules and paid a pretty good "rejection fee." "Tina Brown's approach was extremely rude and disrupted the original market conditions of the magazine industry. However, for an unknown magazine like "Vogue", it is the most direct and effective way to achieve instant success. Of course, this approach is not advisable. Although it is faster to open up the market, it also costs a lot. After the magazine is released, the advertising fees may not be able to make up for its high manuscript fees. "Now you know why I feel so sad, right? None of the women you invited is a fuel-efficient lamp. They are generous in their work, have unique vision, and have amazing courage. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are heroes among women!" Hu Junyi said with a look. "I admire them very much", "I think back when we started "Extra Numbers", we were very nervous. How could we not be as generous as them!" Zhang Shaoping rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This money is not theirs. , Of course they spent it happily, but my heart trembled when I saw it! " "No, all the money that should be spent has been spent, and there must be no mistakes and wasted money!" Zhang Shaoping couldn't sit still and stood up! Come on, he kept pacing, then suddenly stopped, waved his hand fiercely, and said: "Hype, definitely hype! Yes, advertise big, use old magazines such as "Vanity Fair" and "Vogue" to stir up the topic, eh , and ck clothing, we can¡¯t miss it.¡± Zhang Shaoping thought of doing it, and immediately called Tina Brown, Wang Weiwei, and Bai Lan, asking them to come back quickly to discuss the matter. When the boss called, everyone didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Naturally, they dropped what they were doing and hurried back. They already had a schedule, but now they had to postpone it and go back to a more important short meeting. After everyone met, Zhang Shaoping said what he meant directly without saying anything. After listening to Zhang Shaoping's words, Tina Brown immediately became happy and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, after I came to New York, I started to promote the magazine. The magazine writers, photographers, and models I found were all It is targeted and can be hyped at any time. " Zhang Shaoping said: "This is the best! You should take advantage of this short period of less than 10 days to make an advertising and hype plan. You must hurry up. This topic was a hot topic before the magazine was released. "Everyone nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Sheng." Back at the villa, the staff told Zhang Shaoping that someone called him not long ago and said it was from his home. Zhang Shaoping hurried back to his room and made a phone call. The person who answered the phone was still Michelle. Zhang Shaoping asked: "Dragon Girl, haven't you returned to the capital yet?" Mi Xue said: "Fa Zai is getting married. I received the invitation and am going to have a wedding wine before leaving." Zhang Shaoping pondered for a long time and asked: "He "Did you send me an invitation?" "Do you really want him to send you an invitation? You wouldn't be embarrassed at all if you went to his wedding?" Michelle asked. Zhang Shaoping smiled coquettishly and said: "How could it be? He is still a friend after all, right? Even if we can't be friends, at least we are not enemies, right? We still need favors." "I really don't understand what you men are doing. She thought, she didn¡¯t hesitate when it was time to stab her, and she talked about feelings when it was time to talk about friendship.¡± Michelle said angrily, and then said, ¡°The invitation was sent, and it was Xiao Min who collected it for you. . However, I think it¡¯s better for you not to go, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed, and you won¡¯t be able to explain to your sister Lian.¡± Zhang Shaoping said, ¡°Mei Lian, she shouldn¡¯t have any objections, right?¡± Having said that, it can be said thatBut she wasn't sure in her heart. After all, it's not surprising that if you're passionately in love, you can't let go. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
