howling breath

At 3:[-] p.m., Lin Lang showed up at the cafe on time.

Senior Ye Zi sat where Tang Yushu had sat last time, recognized Lin Lang, and beckoned to Lin Lang.

The face is familiar, but I didn't pay much attention to this person—in fact, I didn't mention this teaching assistant, and even replaced it with classmates... Lin Lang might not even recognize him.

"What would you like to drink?" The senior greeted politely.

"Latte... ok. Thank you." It's the second time in my life to consume "coffee", and I don't have the embarrassing situation of "not knowing how to order".

When the senior got up and went to the bar to order, Lin Lang noticed that the senior had brought a thick stack of old school magazines.

When he noticed that the name of the school magazine was "New Film", Lin Lang realized belatedly that the school magazine of the University of Film and Television is not just an "internal circulation book" for students to work together, but a small literary and artistic circle. Word-of-mouth publications with regular serial numbers.

The school magazines of most schools are usually non-profit publications that are only distributed in a small amount within the school, so there is no need for a publishing house number.As a high-quality magazine positioned as a literary appreciation category, "New Film", the campus magazine of the Film and Television University, is well-known in the literary and artistic creation industry.Even the Film University Publishing House, which has published many well-known domestic film scripts, was established based on the growth of the school magazine "New Film" magazine-of course, this was all 20 years ago.

To be honest, at first I thought it was just the students playing a "game" like hosting a house wine. Looking at the thick stack of school magazines in front of him, Lin Lang felt timid - that means this is a Serious work.Lin Lang was not sure for a moment whether he could carry it.

Senior Ye Zi, who sat down with two cups of coffee, noticed Lin Lang staring at the pile of "New Movies" in a daze, and sighed with a wry smile: "The scenery is gone."

Lin Lang came back to his senses, took the coffee handed by the senior, thanked him, and asked, "Is the current situation not good?"

"She... is already a hero at the end of her life!" The senior called this magazine personified, and it was obvious that he had a strong love for this magazine.After feeling emotional, the senior elaborated: "The era of paper media has really come to an end - of course, there is no way to do it. In fact, the budget has been decreasing since 12 years, until the end of the last school year. The school discussed with me that it wanted to stop publishing. But I still miss her very much, and I have been stalking her for a long time with the school to keep it - but it can only be until next July."

"Huh?" Lin Lang was dumbfounded—this is really a job interview with a unique style—he told you directly from the very beginning: The project will be closed in 9 months, and I can only send you 9 month's salary.

The senior was not surprised by Lin Lang's reaction: "Just tell you that I am looking for you with the mentality of trying my luck."

"Hmm." For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to such a ridiculous job, and only squeezed out a meaningless syllable from his throat.

The senior smiled wryly: "Hey, sure enough...Of course I can completely understand your feelings! Haha! I also think I am quite selfish - I almost annoy all the talented people around me, so I want to persuade them to accompany you!" I worked on a magazine together—but this only satisfied my own love for "New Movie", and it didn't help them. The reason why I found you boldly is because I heard from the professor that you usually rely on some magazines Soliciting manuscripts to make money, I thought about saying: Then maybe you will have some leisure time that you can't pass, maybe you can be persuaded to do it... In short, you can think about it-I am really not good enough as a 'boss', whether it is Remuneration or prospects, I can’t give you any guarantees, and even tell you the day when it will be shut down. But until that day, I will always support the sky, and you don’t have to worry about anything.”

After the senior said this, both of them were silent for a while.

But not long after, Lin Lang said, "Let's do it."

This response stunned the senior.

Lin Lang was quite willing to do it.

"New Movie" is not the kind of literary magazine that Lin Lang would read, she is too serious about literature.

But being able to write a column in a magazine of this quality, and to review many works as an editor of this magazine, these two jobs are very attractive to Lin Lang.

More importantly - Lin Lang still has a fixed amount of money to earn in the next 9 months.

The senior who was happy to be a general couldn't hide his smile. After having a toast with Lin Lang "replacing wine with coffee", he graciously took Lin Lang to the office on the top floor of the main teaching building, chatting with Lin Lang While working overtime doing editing work.

By the way, we communicated about the content of future work.Later, the topic was extended to the status quo of the industry, to future development, and finally to various places.

The office is a mess, with sample papers strewn about.While chatting with the senior, Lin Lang helped him tidy up.

There are eight workstations in total, but there are two computers—and one dusty.

"Are there two people on duty at present?"

"Actually, it's just me."

"You alone? "Xinying" is an 80P monthly magazine, with 5 sections and a total of more than 30 articles. Are you in charge of it alone?"

"Yes, it's just me. Haha! Occasionally I invite a direct undergraduate student who has a good relationship with me to dinner and ask him to help me with typesetting—but that brat has recently fallen in love and has no time for me."

"Your brother from the direct line will help you typesetting? What department are you from?"

"Although I am under your professor's command, I am actually a master's degree from the School of Design of Film University - I study architectural design. We learned CDR in our freshman year."

"Study architecture? I thought that boys in architectural design are very... repulsed by literature and art."

"Who said that? You call it a 'stereotype'! On the contrary, your film and television school—whether you study creation or advertising, refuses to do "New Film"!"

"My humble apology to "New Film" on behalf of the Academy of Film and Television."

"Hahaha!"

The two chatted endlessly until dinner time, and the two went to the cafeteria to have a meal together.

It was really because the graduate student dormitory of the Film and Television University was far away, and Lin Lang still had work to do, so he stopped chatting and said goodbye to the senior who had been chatting speculatively.

Seeing the other party's easy steps as he walked away humming a song, Lin Lang silently gave the other party an evaluation in his heart - a very attractive boy.

Although he was abandoned by his dream, he still waited hard for his dream, and enjoyed it so much—Lin Lang suddenly reflected on himself: Compared with this person... Is he a bit too "accustomed to self-pity"?

Lin Lang couldn't help thinking of Tang Yushu, another representative of "sunshine personality".In fact, in comparison, senior Ye Zi is not as handsome as Tang Yushu, nor is his figure as good as Tang Yushu, and his temperament...is a bit more fireworks and vulgarity than the silly and pure Tang Yushu.But Lin Lang was vigilantly aware: It seemed that the conversation between him and him this afternoon was more than the conversation between him and Tang Yushu in the past two months...

Tang Yushu is like an unreachable god, but senior Ye Zi is like a preacher wandering in the world - they also have the power to redeem all living beings.

but they...

One should be in the sky, and should have nothing to do with monsters like himself.

But the other one, being able to meet him on a narrow road in the world... seems to be more reasonable.

At 11:41, the "god" once again had a relationship with his own "monster" through the wireless communication tool invented by humans: "What are you doing?"

"Lie down, ready to go to bed." After Lin Lang took out the new diapers, there were only two remaining items in the bag—do you want to buy more?I don't know when I can completely disable it with peace of mind...

The boy on the other end of the phone lost his usual positive tone: "I might be ruined."

"what?"

"My mind is full of you. I can't work well, and I can't think of any plan."

Lin Lang laughed at his stupidity: Why haven't you figured it out yet?You have never been the one in charge of conceiving plans... But in order to protect the boy's self-esteem, Lin Lang didn't say anything, but asked him: "What's the matter? What plan—Chen Ni and the others couldn't think of it?"

"Didn't you use Leiyin's smart learning machine for children to correct the article of the CEO of Lizi Technology? Then they made a special video to counter Leiyin."

"Oh." Lin Lang remembered.

Previously, it was the CEO of Leiyin Technology who used his own children's learning machine to "make use of small materials" to correct the CEO of Lizi Technology. The ruthless move provided by Lin Lang caused quite a stir once it was launched.Viewers of this farce are waiting for how Lizi Technology responds to Leiyin Technology's "humiliation".

Sure enough, Lizi Technology is not reconciled to letting things go. The children's learning machine of Lizi Technology was launched during the National Day Golden Week.At the same time as the listing, it also made a huge publicity.And there is a video advertisement in that wave of publicity activities that became a topic of conversation during the National Day:

Because the built-in "composition creation system" in the children's learning machine developed by Chestnut Technology is more advanced: there is a search function in this system. "Dedication", "Strength", "Mother's love"... Enter any key words, you can retrieve many cases, and students can integrate into writing after reading the cases, which is very convenient.

However, the "composition review" of Leiyin Learning Machine can only make corrections after the manuscript is completed.

So Chestnut Technology shot a video advertisement, which depicts a warm scene of children listening to stories told by their classmates: accompanied by soothing music, a boy with a slight dialect accent and two lumps of plateau red on his cheeks is holding chestnuts Learning machine, I happily told the story of "Meng's mother moved three times" to my friends, and those lovely colleagues also listened with great interest.But this beautiful picture was suddenly broken by the little boy who stood up in the corner—I saw him correcting the storyteller's accent in a very serious manner, which was very unpleasant.The screen freezes at the child telling the story with his mouth tightly closed, and then gradually turns black, and a line of words floats on the screen: "Everyone should have a childhood where they can speak freely. Chestnut children's learning machine - for every child A library."

It is clearly an "anti-bullying" public service advertisement.

Secretly satirizing Leiyin Technology who was busy "picking out words" a few days ago.

"The concept of the counterattack short film is really exquisite!" Looking back, I can't help but feel emotional.

Tang Yushu forbade Lin Lang to stand in the wrong camp: "Hey! Why do you speak for them!"

"Oh good..." Lin Lang asked, "So how are you going to deal with it?"

Tang Yushu sighed, and said: "This is the problem... I don't know what to do... I thought about a lot of plans, but I couldn't choose a good one after choosing and choosing, and finally gave the client three Versions have also been rejected."

"Don't worry. I'll help you think about it too."

Tang Yushu said "Okay" first, and then regretted it a moment later: "Oh, forget it—it's not your job. Let's do our best, don't put pressure on you! Just take responsibility and think about me!"

"Okay." Lin Lang was willing to take responsibility.

"What about you? That job you're talking about—how is it?"

"It's quite different from what I imagined."

"not good?"

"Very good." Lin Lang explained: "The content of the job is what I like to do, and the boss is also very nice."

"That's good."

Chatting with him, Lin Lang suddenly remembered Tang Yushu's helmet with a crack in the goggle.When he asked him that day, he fooled himself succinctly: "Running over to find you, I accidentally fell."

He knew it was because of himself that he broke it—he is usually very precious, and he can't help but wipe the helmet without washing his face.Lin Lang felt sorry, and seemed to remember that Shun'er had posted photos of riding a motorcycle, so he immediately clicked on the dialog box with Shun'er and asked Shun'er, "How much does it cost to replace the motorcycle helmet with goggles?"

Shun Er can always respond within a second: "Good or normal?"

But... give him a good one: "What is good? Is the quality good?"

"Yes. In addition to the difference in material quality, there are some functionalities, but I don't know the specifics, such as optical principles, blue light, vision...but I know it can also prevent sun protection!"

"Sun protection?"

"Yes, sun protection."

It is necessary to protect yourself from the sun, after all, Tang Yushu is already quite dark. "How much does a pair of goggles with all the features cost?"

"I'm not sure about this... it seems that different brands have different prices."

Lin Lang thought about it for a while: Tang Yushu's helmet looks very good quality, it must be... "Where is the brand of upper-middle quality?" Before sending it out, Shun'er sent another one:

"If it is like Tang Yushu, it will be more expensive. His brand is from France and the factory is from Germany. There is no repairable one in China. You can only buy a whole one."

"How much is he... how much?"

"It's available for any money. I remember that the brand cost at least 3000."

Lin Lang looked at the number passed by Shun'er on the screen, and felt suffocated for a while.So much so that I couldn't hear what the boy said on the other end of the phone that was still connected.

"what?"

Tang Yushu repeated again: "You didn't talk for a long time, I thought you fell asleep."

"Hmm... not asleep." He answered in a dazed state.

One of his helmets is equivalent to three months of his food expenses...

Instead of continuing to chat with Shun'er, Lin Lang put the phone next to his pillow.There is only one earphone hanging, listening to the sound of Tang Yushu working on the keyboard.

After listening quietly for a while, Lin Lang sat up and touched his phone to open a document app, wrote something, passed it to Tang Yushu after writing, and said calmly: "I'm sleepy."

Tang Yushu hadn't noticed the document yet, but only heard what Lin Lang said: "Are you sleepy? Go to sleep when you're sleepy. I'll wait until you fall asleep before hanging up."

"Farewell, hang up."

"What's the matter? I don't want to disturb you, I press the keyboard softly. Are they too noisy? I moved to work on the second floor by myself."

"The distance is too far, it's a bit uncomfortable."

Lin Lang dropped such a thoughtless sentence, and hung up.

Ye Zi is not a bad person.
