When Xu Erlong turned around and told Principal Shi about this, Principal Shi snorted angrily: "Erlong, no, I have to talk to someone about this."
Hearing this tone, Xu Erlong wondered: "Who can you find?"
According to Xu Erlong's knowledge, Reporter Yuan already has connections in this industry, so he can only negotiate this price.
Principal Shi hummed proudly: "After all, I have been a teacher for so many years, and I still know a lot of people. Some of them are still my students..."
Xu Erlong understood this very well.
Indeed, since there is such a slight connection, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
After all, the price he expected for this book was only one yuan. Of course, it would be better to keep the cost even lower.
He also believes that the printing cost can be further reduced. Just because it is a state-owned factory, it will not automatically reduce the price.
Sure enough, Principal Shi came forward and took Xu Erlong to the printing factory again, and they actually negotiated the printing cost down a bit.
Although it is only two cents less, for a hundred thousand printed brochures, it can still save two hundred yuan.
What's more, Xu Erlong envisioned more than 100,000 volumes.
After finalizing the printing matter, Xu Erlong temporarily paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan to let the printing factory start printing. He also asked reporter Yuan to start building momentum in the newspaper and invited some of his colleagues and peers to interview together.
The day was so busy that when Xu Erlong came home, he felt that his whole body was hollowed out and he just wanted to lie down quickly.
As soon as he entered the house, reporter Yuan followed the house number and found his home.
Since this book is to be promoted and released, of course it must have a beautiful cover.
But the previous cover was not very impressive.
It is a collective portrait of eighteen college students from Yunji Middle School. They stand solemnly in a row as if taking their graduation photos. The portraits all appear smaller, and their faces are even a little blurry.
Reporter Yuan thought to himself, how effective it would be to use Wen Ye as a cover promotion.
Such a beautiful beauty and a female college student, as long as her photo is printed on the cover, isn't it more attractive than those pictorials of movie actors?
Take a look at the magazine "Popular Cinema". There are all beautiful actresses on the cover. The circulation is also very high, reaching 9.5 million copies last year.
If Wen Ye is used as the cover girl for "Teaching You Step-by-Step to Admit College Entrance", I believe that the sales volume of this book, not to mention as high as 9.5 million copies, but hundreds of thousands of copies, should be no problem.
Reporter Yuan has such strong confidence inexplicably.
"You want me to be the cover girl? Take a close-up?" Wen Ye's face was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes." Reporter Yuan sat on the sofa and said to Wen Ye excitedly: "You are a college student, and you are the protagonist of this book. It is absolutely fine for you to be the cover girl. This book can convey to everyone how to take college entrance exams.
With my experience, and allowing everyone to see such a pleasing new era of college students, I believe everyone will be sold on it, and sales will definitely be high."
"No." Wen Ye shook his head: "Don't we already have a group photo of us? This is the college entrance examination experience of eighteen of our classmates. Can't we just use that photo as the cover?"
"How can this work?" Reporter Yuan said: "The group photo is placed on the cover like this. The portrait is very small. How can it highlight your appearance? Look at it, it's just such a small photo, and then it's processed like this.
, everyone’s faces are not very clear anymore.”
"No." Wen Ye still refused: "I don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to be on any cover."
Reporter Yuan felt like how did he meet such a sexy girl?
She didn't agree with the photo thing last time. This time, it was obviously a great publicity opportunity to be the cover girl, but she didn't agree either.
Reporter Yuan could only turn his attention to Xu Erlong, hoping that Xu Erlong would persuade Wen Ye.
Unexpectedly, Xu Erlong just smiled and said to reporter Yuan: "Since Wen Ye doesn't like it, then there is no need. We will use a group photo of eighteen college students as the cover as originally planned. Moreover, Wen Ye's
Please blur the avatar a little bit."
Reporter Yuan was so angry.
They also expected Xu Erlong to persuade Wen Ye, but unexpectedly, he actually directly supported it.
Reporter Yuan wanted to say something else, but Xu Erlong said: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. We are just selling a teaching aid in a serious manner."
Reporter Yuan retorted: "What's wrong with us? We are promoting college students, so it's normal to use a female student in her prime as the cover, right? If you look at other industry promotions, don't they also choose a girl with similar looks?
come out?"
Xu Erlong still denied: "No need, just print according to the original plan."
Seeing that both of them were so determined, Reporter Yuan had no choice but to get up and leave.
After he left, Xu Erlong got up and went to pour himself some water.
Wen Ye looked at his background, was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Erlong, am I too ignorant?"
"Huh?" Xu Erlong looked back at her.
Wen Ye bit her lower lip lightly and whispered: "It's just a photo of a cover girl."
Xu Erlong laughed: "What's so sensible about this? If you don't like it, there's no need to force it."
Wen Ye still cares deeply.
She said softly: "I have been very afraid of going home since I was a child. Every time I pass by the village, many people point fingers at me. I am actually very afraid of others pointing fingers at me. I always feel like they are saying bad things about me.
, or say bad things about my mother. So, reporter Yuan asked me to take photos as a cover girl, and I was still scared for the first time."
If she becomes a cover girl and really wants to sell this book all over the country, then it won't just be the people in the village who know her.
She was afraid that more people would point fingers and judge her.
However, reporter Yuan just analyzed the situation very clearly.
If she is used as the cover girl, there can be some publicity stunts and more sales.
She couldn't help Xu Erlong too much in his business. Now she was asked to do just this one thing. She was reflecting on whether she had refused too directly just now. She was only concerned about her own fear and did not think about Xu Erlong.
After thinking about it, she said to Xu Erlong: "Erlong, go ahead and tell reporter Yuan, I agree to be the cover girl."
Xu Erlong handed her the water glass and sighed: "Wen Ye, there is no need to force yourself on things you don't like."
"But I want to help you." Wen Ye emphasized seriously: "Reporter Yuan said that I can increase sales by becoming a cover girl."
Xu Erlong couldn't laugh or cry: "Wen Ye, it's a good thing that you want to help me. But I, Xu Erlong, do business and don't need my own woman to show off. If you don't like it, of course there is no need to force it."
