Ye Qing could see Jiang Xinya's dissatisfaction, but so what?
Although Ye Qing didn't want to be presumptuous, the reality was that the magazine was more anxious than he was!
As a friend of Dalson, Ye Qing thought that he was putting his old friend in a difficult position, but then he thought, isn't friendship about going to great lengths for each other?
With that thought, Ye Qing felt less burdened and stopped trying to hide her smugness: "Judging from your expression, it seems you didn't want to come looking for me?"
Jiang Xinya took a deep breath and smiled: "Ms. Ye, may we discuss some matters related to the filming?"
Jiang Xinya didn't answer Ye Qing's question and was very direct, making it clear that she didn't intend to talk to Ye Qing about anything other than shooting the cover.
Ye Qing didn't mind. When it came to work, she focused on work and didn't mince words with Jiang Xinya. She directly stated her requirements: the clothes for the photoshoot should be from her own studio, and the publication should clearly state that the clothes were from her studio, the photoshoot location was her studio, the cover photo should include her studio's logo, and the logo of the store that was already decorated and about to open in the shopping mall should also be included.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Jiang Xinya could no longer maintain even the most basic social smile.
"Ye Qing, you're not new to this industry, and you even came back from abroad before, so I think you should be familiar with some of the basic procedures for shooting for our kind of magazine."
All of these are advertising slots. Our magazine's advertising department has clearly marked prices, and at this point, all our advertising deals have been finalized.
The outfits you'll be wearing for the cover shoot will be provided by our magazine. The cover will feature your studio; it's considered a cover advertisement. You should know how much a cover advertisement costs. Of course, we don't need to discuss these details; the key point is that we've already finalized these agreements.
Jiang Xinya said it almost through gritted teeth.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "That's your problem. As for your claim that your advertising deal was already finalized, why didn't you come to me sooner? Didn't you anticipate the demands I might make before contacting me? As the editor-in-chief, you didn't have any backup plans. Isn't that dereliction of duty?"
Jiang Xinya felt that Ye Qing was nitpicking. She stared at the composed Ye Qing for a long time, then picked up her bag, stood up, and was about to leave.
Ye Qing didn't stop him, and continued to smile calmly.
Jiang Xinya walked to Ye Qing's office door and was about to open it when she realized she had acted impulsively. After struggling for a while, Jiang Xinya took her hand off the doorknob, slowly turned around, looked at Ye Qing, bit her lip awkwardly, and then slowly walked back to Ye Qing.
Smiling as he watched Jiang Xinya's actions, Ye Qing tilted his head slightly, looking at the hesitant and unwilling Jiang Xinya, waiting for her to speak again.
Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry at all. In fact, she hoped that Jiang Xinya could continue to be so impulsive, because the more impulsive Jiang Xinya was, the more passive Ye Qing would become, and the more passive Jiang Xinya became, the more proactive Ye Qing would become.
"Ye Qing, you should know that our magazine was very sincere in approaching you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have looked for no other candidates besides you for the cover of the inaugural issue." Jiang Xinya said as she slowly sat down again.
"It's not that you didn't have options, and in your opinion, you could just shout out and actors or singers would scramble to be on your cover, but that was a few days ago."
Ye Qing remained unhurried.
"In the current situation, even if you can find someone to shoot the cover, there probably won't be enough time, because your magazine needs to finalize the manuscript, otherwise it won't be ready for printing. But finding a celebrity to shoot the cover isn't that simple either."
After all, we've asked them to come and save the day. Since it's about saving the day, we have to consider all aspects. Putting aside everything else, let's talk about the so-called equality. Although I've taken a cover photo for your magazine, I know that I'm still just a nobody.
Since I'm just a nobody, I'm not shooting covers anymore. If you come up with an actor or singer to fill in, and they're a really famous one, they'll definitely be unhappy. Even if they themselves don't have any objections, what about their management companies and record labels?
Those so-called big names on your shortlist are unwilling, so you continue to screen them in order to get the magazine published smoothly... But your magazine is a big name magazine, and there are thresholds for people to appear in your magazine. Those with low profiles can't shoot your cover.
"Of course, Nancheng is qualified to be on your cover, like Xu Xiaoyue, like Huang Fei..."
At this point, Ye Qing deliberately paused and said, "But what can we do? They're all connected to me, Editor-in-Chief, are you willing to accept this?"
After finishing speaking, Ye Qing concluded: "Since we're talking about conditions, I don't think my conditions are that harsh, and I can definitely boost the sales of your magazine's inaugural issue."
Jiang Xinya patiently listened to everything Ye Qing said. Although she was angry and furious, Jiang Xinya had to admit that Ye Qing made sense. However, when Ye Qing mentioned sales, Jiang Xinya was a little disdainful, but she didn't want to show it too obviously.
Although she didn't show it obviously, Ye Qing still noticed and said, "Don't you think I can boost your magazine's sales?"
Jiang Xinya didn't say anything, but her attitude spoke volumes.
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow: "Everyone knows that we have a history. Under these circumstances, I took a picture of the cover of your magazine's inaugural issue. Do you think people's gossip and curiosity will become particularly strong? Since everyone wants to know, then buy a copy of the magazine and read it."
"Heh, maybe you're right, but Ye Qing, I'll say it again: don't let yourself look like someone who knows nothing. Our magazine is a monthly publication, and it's not cheap; not everyone buys it." Jiang Xinya still didn't quite agree with Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing laughed: "Who's the ignorant one between us? Who do you think knows about our feud? The old ladies at the market? Of course, I don't mean to belittle the old ladies at the market. It's true that they won't buy your magazine, but similarly, they don't know about our feud. Isn't it the people who know about our feud who are your magazine's target readers?"
After saying all this, Ye Qing was afraid that Jiang Xinya would misunderstand, so Ye Qing added: "Back then, only those who followed these things knew about the controversy between the two of us about who copied whom. Your apology statement was published in your magazine, and only those who read your magazine back then knew about it. And the magazine you worked for back then and the magazine you are working for now are of the same type, which means that the target audience is the same."
