Chapter 83: Terrifying Ability Signature Deduction
Gu Nan said that night that other magazines would look for Lin Jingchun, and the next day, his phone was flooded with calls.
He would make a noise every now and then, work for a while and talk for a while, and the restaurant owner looked at him with something strange in his eyes.
Lin Jingchun had no choice but to turn his phone to silent mode. After work, he looked at the 99+ missed calls on his phone and felt a little strange.
He walked slowly on the way home. The evening sun was neither strong nor hot, but it made his whole body warm. His mind, which had been blank in the kitchen all day, gradually became clearer.
He seemed to understand why Gu Nan was so happy and in such high spirits last night. She was more far-sighted than him and had foreseen today's grand occasion.
The book cover of "Jie Yi" is really a very good start, which makes a young newcomer who is just starting out receive so much attention and invitations.
He received calls that morning from several youth literature magazines, all of which wanted him to shoot the cover to replicate the sales miracle of "Jie Yi" which sold out in one day.
He used work as an excuse to say he would reply later, but so far he had not yet learned about the styles and historical achievements of other magazines. It was getting late and he might get a call in the evening. He had to make plans early and could not keep people waiting without replying.
He quickened his pace and rushed home. As soon as he entered the house, he changed his shoes and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
In order to maintain his number one position on the list, Gu Nan not only broadcasts live at night, but also does dungeons during the day to gain experience.
Lin Jingzhe tasted the joy of conquering the game. He sat in front of the computer from morning to night to fight bosses and pass levels, and his progress became faster and faster every day.
He followed Gu Nan's short video account and began to learn how to edit videos from her. He looked for tutorials everywhere and was busy from morning to night.
When Lin Jingchun came back, Gu Nan raised his eyes. Lin Jingzhe didn't even leave the door. The three of them were busy with their own things.
After dinner, Gu Nan handed the magazine information he had collected in the morning to Lin Jingchun.
Lin Jingchun was about to take a shower, but when he got the information, he was stunned.
Gu Nan stretched his stiff neck and said, "I don't know which magazines will ask you to shoot with them, so I collected magazines with similar audiences and sales to Jie Yi. There are a variety of them. It's up to you to decide which ones you want to apply for."
Lin Jingchun solemnly placed the information on the bedside table, pressed it with the collection of essays Gu Nan had bought for him, and said seriously, "I'll think about it carefully."
Gu Nan sat down on the bed and asked with a smile, "Besides the magazine, did anyone else call you?"
"There were so many calls. I only received a few this morning. They were all photo shoots for youth romance magazines."
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow, "How many invitations did you receive today?"
"My phone was on silent this afternoon and I didn't answer any calls. I'll call back later if I answered any. As for those I didn't answer, I'll see if they'll call again." Lin Jingchun touched his earlobe, feeling a little embarrassed and a little proud.
Standing next to the radiant Gu Nan, the ordinary and mediocre him would occasionally feel ashamed of himself. Now that his part-time modeling job has improved, he actually has the illusion that he is also shining, as if he is more suitable for her when standing next to her.
The phone was muted so many times that it was typical of Lin Jingchun. Gu Nan laughed, "Have you ever thought about signing with an agency? After signing, a professional agent and team would screen all the invitations for you, select and create the style that suits you best, and all you have to do is shoot."
Lin Jingchun never thought that in his eyes, modeling was still a part-time job. It could generate good income, but it was more reassuring to have a full-time job.
But Gu Nan's words were never aimless. He thought about it carefully and said, "I don't want to at the moment."
When an agency wants to create a model, the initial investment is usually very long, and there may be no income for several months or even half a year. He doesn't want to take risks until he is sure of it.
Gu Nan guessed his answer and was not disappointed. He just said, "Pick a magazine carefully and make yourself familiar with it first."
With a face like Lin Jingchun's, there's no way he'd just be stuck in a flat layout all day. He just needs to wait patiently for an agent to come find him.
Gu Nan got up and went to the living room to continue playing the game live. After Lin Jingchun took a shower and looked through the information, he carefully selected the appropriate magazine invitation and called back.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Nan went off the air and Lin Jingchun received three more invitations.
He added up the estimated remuneration for the four photo shoots and found that it was more than his monthly salary as a restaurant chef.
Lin Jingchun: “…”
The remuneration for four days of shooting is greater than a restaurant chef’s monthly salary.
He was a little disheveled.
Still a little excited.
Gu Nan’s proposal for tonight began to replay in my mind unconsciously.
Sign a contract with an agency and work with a professional team. You only need to shoot and don’t have to work alone.
Not to mention how much resources the agency can allocate to him, just the resources he has himself can support the three of them just by shooting magazines.
But shooting for magazines is not a job that comes every day. No matter how well he can stimulate readers' desire to buy, the magazine cannot use him in every issue.
At most, it will happen once or twice a year. If it happens more often, readers will protest.
Moreover, if the results of these few shoots are not good, the market will definitely be bad in the future, and the remuneration will be low. Maybe I can't even support myself. It's not good and it's not safe enough.
But what if, what if he just happens to have the magical power to revive the magazine and make it sell out overnight?
Who hasn't fantasized about a wonderful life of making a fortune every day? Who hasn't dreamed of being a savior who can turn the tide? Everyone has had the naive expectation that they are the protagonist of this world, and if they lose themselves, the whole world will come to a standstill.
Lin Jingchun lay on the bed, tossing and turning like a fried fish.
In the end, prudence and rationality prevailed and suppressed the unrealistic illusions.
He has had bad luck since he was a child. There may be a bottomless abyss hidden under the beautiful flowers, just like a bar at night. It is better to proceed steadily.
Calm down and go to sleep!
Lin Jingchun tried his best to go to the restaurant earlier every day, work more during the day, and leave work later at night. He always complied with his boss's requests so that when he asked for leave, his boss would be more efficient and deduct less salary.
The boss saw everything silently, with his mind as clear as a mirror.
He decided on Lin Jingchun as soon as he tasted the food. In addition to admiring his excellent cooking skills, he also noticed that he looked disheveled and his clothes were tattered, which reminded him of the hardships he faced when he was young and starting a business, and he felt pity for him.
Lin Jingchun’s cooking skills are indeed good, he is calm and hardworking, and he is very satisfied with her.
But in just one month, he witnessed with his own eyes a gray-faced boy struggling in a room full of oil smoke and gradually becoming dazzling and calm.
His daughter forwarded a Weibo post to him last night, and said excitedly that there was a hidden talent in their store, including a handsome model.
He looked at it and thought the cover photo was very nice, but there was an outrageous gap between it and Lin Jingchun, who spent all day wearing old clothes and cooking with his hands on his hips.
It is said that it was this cover photo that made the magazine sell out and even became a small hot topic.
In the words of young people, this face has a terrifying ability to sell goods.
He also understood that his small restaurant could not keep such a person.
When Lin Jingchun asked him for leave in a hesitant manner, he took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and mumbled through the smoke:
"Go ahead and bring two sample copies for my daughter. Sign your name on them and I'll deduct less from your salary."
