After wearing the chronological control group

After Lao Xu left, Ye Weixie immediately picked up the phone and called Yu Qinghe.

Yu Qinghe went to Future Department Store today. When he received the call, he was about to go to a meeting. When he heard that it was Ye Weixie, he sat back in his seat and informed his assistant that the meeting time was postponed by 15 minutes.

"Brother seems very happy." Hearing the lightness in Ye Weixie's tone, Yu Qinghe said with a smile.

And even he himself didn't realize that at this moment his eyes were full of pampering and tenderness, and his blue eyes were even dyed with a layer of fine light, covering the entire pair of eyes finely.

Like the stars all over the sky in summer, bright and beautiful.

"What good thing happened?" he asked.

Ye Weixie leaned back on the chair with a smile on his face, holding the microphone in one hand, and tapped the fingertips on the table with the other hand, as if he was playing a symphony with joyful rhythm.

"you guess?"

"Guess right, there will be a prize~"

"What award?" Yu Qinghe asked.

Ye Weixie smiled and said: "You will know if you guess right."

"Is that so?" Yu Qinghe pretended to think seriously for a while, and said, "The magazine sales have increased again?"

Ye Weixie: "Although the magazine's sales have indeed increased again, it's not for this reason, or it's not just for this reason." After all, he is also very happy about the increase in sales.

"What is that?" Yu Qinghe asked.

Ye Weixie laughed, and deliberately pretended to be closed, "I want to know, then you beg me?"

The ending sounds evoked, with a little pride, like a little fox who stole the fish, so cute.

Yu Qinghe laughed dumbfounded, and then said without hesitation: "Well, I want to know. I beg brother, can you tell me?"

"..."

Now it was Ye Weixie's turn to be speechless.

He is a person who takes soft things but not tough ones, let alone Yu Qinghe who acts like a spoiled child.

He didn't resist the opponent's coquettish attack when he first picked him up, let alone now, Ye Weixie blurted out almost when the phrase "Beg brother" came out——

"The application for the serial number of the manga magazine has been submitted."

As for "you guess" and "you get a prize for guessing right", Ye Weixie had long forgotten it.

Yu Qinghe raised his eyebrows, so it was like this, no wonder Ye Weixie was so happy.

Others may not know, but as Ye Weixie's bedside person, or the closest person, he knows Ye Weixie's worries because of this incident.

But now that the matter is resolved, it is indeed something to be happy about.

"Congratulations," he said.

"Thank you."

To be honest, Ye Weixie was really happy.

Because if there is no issue number, a manga magazine is a fantasy that can never be realized.

However, the current cultural environment is doomed to make it difficult to apply for a serial number. Otherwise, why would so many people come to the door when they learned that 'Sea' was going to be sold?

Even willing to accept some unequal treaties?

It is because after the acquisition of Xiya, as long as the content of the magazine does not change completely, the issue number can continue to be used. It can be said that the most important part of publishing the magazine is directly omitted.

Wasn't that the reason why he wanted to acquire Xiya in the first place?

So it is enough to say that the issue number is very important.

But now they not only kept Xi Ya, but also developed well, and now they have applied for the serial number, so he is naturally happy.

So when Yu Qinghe proposed to go out for dinner to celebrate, Ye Weixie nodded without thinking.

"Then shall we see you tonight?"

"See you tonight."

Besides Ye Weixie, the happiest person who can apply for the serial number is the comic branch of Time Magazine.

It has been more than two months since they officially came to work, but because of the delay in applying for the serial number, their comic branch can only do some preliminary work.

It’s not that the pre-work is not important, but it’s easy to fall into a downturn when the road ahead is full of fog and you don’t know when the publication will be published.

So now that the issue number came down, everyone couldn't hold back and cheered directly.

"Great!!"

"Finally down."

"Ah, I finally don't have to be unemployed to find a job."

……

When the people in the Xiya branch downstairs heard the cheers, they all expressed their understanding, and even laughed knowingly, because this scene highly overlaps with the one after the magazine's sales surged some time ago.

When they learned that the sales of the magazine had increased, they laughed louder than those upstairs.

So no surprise.

"Okay." Liu Jianshe was also very happy in his heart, wishing he could raise his head to the sky and howl twice.

When he first entered Shiguang, he was also eager to try and put forward a lot of ideas. When recruiting people, he made many assessments, trying to build a professional team for the editor-in-chief.

However, due to the delay in applying for the serial number, as time goes by, their publication period is nowhere in sight.

Sometimes he even wondered if it was because of him that he changed Ye Weixie's mind, let the manga department be established in advance, and also made Ye Weixie pay two months more salary.

But well now, their magazine is finally coming out.

He took a deep breath, stood up and clapped his hands and said to everyone, "The editor-in-chief called for a meeting, everyone hurry back and get ready, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay!"

The crowd who had gathered together to cheer immediately moved quickly and dispersed, each went back to their seats, took their notebooks and pens and went to the meeting room, and then eagerly looked forward to Ye Weixie.

A few minutes later, Ye Weixie was ready to arrive.

As soon as he opened the door, nine heads turned around in unison, as if a special program had been installed.In addition, each pair of eyes was like a searchlight, shining on him.

For a moment, Ye Weixie felt that he was the famous "Tang Monk Meat" in Journey to the West, being watched by all kinds of monsters.

Inexplicably a little scary.

Ye Weixi paused for a moment, then walked in and sat down as if nothing had happened.

Although the period was only a few seconds, he had basically guessed what the group of people were thinking.

He raised his eyes and looked around, and said, "I think everyone already knows about the issue."

"know."

The first to speak was the newly recruited editor in charge, Shen Xi, 23 years old this year, not long after graduation, with a lively personality.

"Editor-in-chief, is our magazine going to launch soon?" she asked.

Although the others didn't make a sound, their fiery gaze and Ye Weixie fully expressed their thoughts.

— want to know.

Ye Weixie smiled, and said: "There is one last process that has not been completed, and the publication can be published after it is completed."

"great!!!"

Hearing the news again, everyone couldn't help but get excited and shared their joy with the people next to them. Some even suggested that they go out to celebrate.

Repressed for too long, they urgently need to vent.

"Okay," Ye Weixie tapped on the table helplessly, attracting everyone's attention, "I'll talk about the celebration later, let's get down to business first."

The discussion stopped abruptly, and Jiu Dao's eyes returned to Ye Weixie again.

"Editor Liu," Ye Weixie looked at Liu Jianshe, "tell me about the current situation of the comics department."

Liu Jianshe nodded and said, "The content and layout of the first issue of the magazine have all been finalized, and it has gone through three rounds of review, so as long as the film is confirmed, it can be printed in the factory."

Ye Weixie nodded, and then said: "Remove "Mermaid" and change it to the next issue."

Although Liu Jianshe didn't understand the reason why Ye Weixie did this, but Ye Weixie was the editor-in-chief, and since they met, the other party has fully proved his superior sensitivity in comics.

So he didn't ask the reason, but only asked the follow-up, "Then what?"

"Switch to the extra episode of "Ling Xiu and His Friends"." Ye Weixie said.

It was also a coincidence that before he came to the meeting, he suddenly received a call from Hu Rui, saying that he had made it himself before, and that the figure of "Ling Xiu" was finally ready for mass production.

That being the case, he naturally had to use it rationally.

What's more, this is obviously a win-win approach. After all, Ling Xiu's fame can be used to open up sales for comic magazines, and magazines can also be used to promote figures.

So why not do it?

As a staff member of a comic magazine, they are naturally familiar with the more famous comics, not to mention that Ye Weixie asked them to do a research on the domestic comic market.

So almost as soon as Ling Xiu's name came out, their eyes lit up.

They knew how popular Ling Xiu was, so after having this side story, their sales would be guaranteed, because even they themselves wanted to know what that side story was about.

As for advertising, it's just a matter of mutual benefit.

"Has the author Ye Zi agreed?" someone asked.

Ye Weixie nodded.

After all, as he himself, he nodded, which meant that Ye Zi had already nodded.

Everyone looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"When will the manuscript be available?" Liu Jianshe was the most calm among them, and asked while quickly thinking about the replacement work arrangement, "Also, if we cooperate in the future, who will be in charge of the author Ye Zi?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately looked at Ye Weixie with burning eyes.

Responsible for the editorial work of the leaves, they can.

It's a pity that Ye Weixie didn't plan to hand him over, "The manuscript will be available in two days, and I'll be the editor in charge, and I'll come in person."

It's just that if this is the case, he has to go back to work overtime at night to catch up on the manuscript, and the meal can only be postponed.

When everyone heard that Ye Weixie was in charge of the editor, they couldn't help showing a little disappointment, but it was only a flash. After all, Ye Zi, as a god-level author, should be in charge of the editor in person.

Afterwards, Ye Weixie arranged several other things, and then let everyone go to work, leaving only Liu Jianshe.

Although Liu Jianshe is almost ready to be Ye Weixi's father in terms of age, but when facing Ye Weixi, Liu Jianshe is still a little hypocritical.

Because Ye Weixie knew too much, even if he went abroad to learn many ideas, he felt that he couldn't keep up with them.

No wonder Liang Hua told him that their editor/boss is a genius.

He was skeptical before, but the more he got in touch with it, the more he felt it. He dared not say anything about other fields, but when it comes to comics, he really wanted to say that he is really a genius.

It's also fortunate that Ye Weixie doesn't have mind reading skills, otherwise he would have to pick out a villa on the spot after hearing this.

Because as the person involved, he knows better than anyone else that his superiority is only because he has the experience of the previous life, so he has nothing to be proud of.

"That's it," Ye Weixie handed Hu Rui's contact information to Liu Jianshe and said, "This is the phone number of the person in charge of Ling Xiu's figure, you can contact him later to see if they arranged for someone to send it over or you Pick it up by yourself, the requirement is to bring all the figures before work today, and then come up with a shooting plan as soon as possible, and arrange to take pictures tomorrow. Any questions?"

Liu Jianshe looked at the contact information on the note and found that the place was not too far away, so he said, "No problem." At worst, he would go there himself.

"Okay, let's go."

The next day, Ye Weixie didn't show up at the magazine until the afternoon because he had to rush the manuscript.

After dealing with Xi Ya's work, Ye Weixie asked about the progress of the figure shooting, and then learned that the invited photographer was rushing to work in the conference room.

"The photographer you invited?" He asked a little strangely, "Isn't Editor Zhao from Xiya good at taking pictures?"

As a reporter, Zhao Changhong not only writes articles, but also has good photography skills, so if the magazine staff needs to take pictures, they basically turn to him.

Shen Xi explained: "Editor Zhao's interviewee suddenly changed the time, and he had to rush there this morning, otherwise it would take three months to make another appointment, so Editor Liu went outside and invited a photographer back."

Ye Weixie nodded to express his understanding.

After thinking about it, he simply got up and went to the conference room.

When he arrived, the photographer was methodically taking pictures of the figures on the table.

He quickly glanced at the table and found that this batch of figurines was well made. Although they were not very refined due to technical reasons, at least they did not have the cheap and inferior texture of the previous few times.

From the author's point of view, Ye Weixie is satisfied.

Seeing Ye Weixie, Liu Jianshe immediately wanted to come over to say hello, but Ye Weixie raised his hand to signal him to keep quiet so as not to disturb the photographer's work.

Liu Jianshe nodded and turned his attention back to the photographer.

And Ye Weixie had already looked at the photographer's shooting situation calmly.

When he saw that the photographer didn't set up any background, but just changed different angles to shoot the figure, he frowned subconsciously.

Even if he has confidence in the figurines he made, it will be difficult to arouse everyone's desire to buy if he takes pictures of things that are unremarkable.

So after thinking for a while, he yelled to stop.

The photographer is a noble man, and he was very upset when his work was suddenly interrupted. He opened his mouth and wanted to yell at him. Fortunately, Liu Jianshe was close, and he caught him quickly with his eyes and hands.

He smiled and introduced: "Mr. Li, this is our editor-in-chief Ye, editor-in-chief Ye, and this is the photographer Mr. Li."

After the photographer heard that Ye Weixie was the editor-in-chief, his ugly face finally warmed up a little, but seeing the other's too young face, he still couldn't help showing a little contempt.

So in the end, I just nodded and said hello.

Ye Weixie also nodded and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Li, we need to add some background."

As soon as the words fell, the photographer immediately frowned, "Why didn't you say that before?"

"I'm sorry, this is a temporary need." Ye Weixie said kindly.

It's just that his good temper didn't make the photographer give him the same treatment. On the contrary, it made the other party feel that the editor-in-chief was easy to bully, so he rolled his eyes and said, "It's fine, but let's talk first, we need to pay more."

Ye Weixie almost laughed angrily when he heard this.

Liu Jianshe's complexion also turned bad. The photos are not counted according to the background, but according to the picture, so what is the extra money?

If he had known what this person was thinking, he would have gone to someone else.But the relationship can't be deadlocked yet, he smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Li, our price has been negotiated before."

The implication is that adding money is unreasonable.

The photographer said confidently: "But you didn't say you wanted to add a background before."

Liu Jianshe: "..."

He looked at Ye Weixie.

Ye Weixie shook his head, let's change.

A few minutes later, the photographer was invited out of the magazine with a dazed expression.

Liu Jianshe reviewed Ye Weixie, "I'm sorry, my work is not in place, I should compare a few more before making a decision."

"It's okay." Ye Weixie waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more, and then said, "I borrowed the camera from someone, here is the address and contact information, you arrange someone to pick it up, and here are the materials I need, you prepare it immediately Let's start filming again in two hours."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Two hours later, the colleagues in the comics department looked at half the table of miniature props, and they were all surprised from ear to ear.

Because it is too Q and too cute.

When placed together with the figures, there is really an illusion of moving the scenes in the comics to reality.

"Woo..." Shen Xi stared at the small and dainty thing on the table, so cute that she couldn't move her eyes away, "I really want it."

The colleague next to him immediately echoed, "I want it too."

Ye Weixie was adjusting the parameters of the camera, he paused for a while, and continued as if nothing had happened.

"Turn on the lights."

……

Two days later, when the photos came out, everyone in the magazine found out that they still underestimated the scene that was arranged that day.

Because the photo is even more beautiful after adding the background blur, and it does not steal the protagonist's position of the figure, but also highlights the delicacy and sense of substitution of the figure.

No, the figure hasn't officially gone on sale yet, and everyone in the magazine is already asking if they can pre-order it.

Because they have intuition, the figure will definitely explode, and it is very likely that they will not be able to grab it by then.

However, Hu Rui directly refused after consulting Ye Weixie.

After all, some openings cannot be opened, otherwise they will only get bigger and bigger, but after the figure is on the market, they can give a few sets to the magazine.

Shen Xi and the others just wandered around in hell and heaven for a second, but the result was good.

Time flies, and the day before Ye Weixie set off for the capital, the first issue of [Time Comics] was finally officially printed in the factory, and it will be officially released after the new year.

The second phase of [Time·Sea] has also been delivered to various sales outlets one after another.

This issue also has a bookmark as a gift, but it is no longer the four gentlemen in the flower, but the chicken in the Chinese zodiac.

And there are a total of four different shapes, some are singing, and some are looking at all beings with disdain, which can be said to be lifelike.

When Ye Weixie first designed it, the employees of the two branches of the magazine expressed their liking for it.

When the real thing comes out, everyone loves it even more.

Although you can't all come with a set, you can share one for each person.

After arranging everything, Ye Weixie and Yu Qinghe finally embarked on a journey to the capital.

"Set off!!"

The author has something to say:
