[My Family Noodle Shop]
Morning!
- Xiao Xiao, are you going to work? - Yep.
- Work hard! - Thank you.
[Soho]
[Dong Fan Publishing House]
Morning!
Li Xiao, you're so pretty today.
[Li Xiao, Resa Fashion]
Right?
She indeed works for Resa Fashion magazine.
[Resa]
- Morning, Li Xiao! - Good morning.
Li Xiao, you're the outfit fairy. Pretty nice.
Thanks.
- Li Xiao. - Jasmine.
Print me a copy of the summary of themes
for the past five years of Chanel's early spring resort collection.
Okay, no problem!
[Female Power Suits]
Excuse me, Sister Mo.
- Is the chair comfortable? - It's okay.
Sister Mo, are you working on female power suits?
Yeah, how is it?
It was written pretty well. There's just one problem.
Tell me.
Regarding the history of the female power suit,
this part isn't really accurate.
See, what you wrote here...
"From the end of last year to the start of this year, the revival of gray plaid jackets
made powerful female outfits the fashion trend again.
Then tracing back the history of the power suit,
the professional female outfit introduced by
Saint Laurent in 1966 is the start of the rise of female power suit."
This whole section is incorrect.
Because actually, in 1966, the professional outfit introduced by
Saint Laurent is called "Le Smoking."
It was only until the 80's did Giorgio Armani and Calvin Klein
use a larger torso and neater cropping
to bring the actual concept of "power suit" to the world of fashion.
That is the true form hallmark of a female power suit.
Your probation period is almost up, right?
Tomorrow.
Then, I'll congratulate you on successfully joining Resa.
We'll be colleagues soon.
Thank you, Sister Mo!
Take off the "sister," just call me Little Mo.
Thank you, Little Mo.
Could you go pour me a glass of water?
Sure, no problem.
Sorry.
- Xia Fan! - They even made you move that?
Hurry and help me.
Thanks, Xia Fan.
I heard that the Little Lu, whom you came to fill in for,
won't be returning after her maternity leave.
Not coming back?
- She's going to start a business with her husband. - Oh.
"Oh"? Did you not understand?
If Little Lu doesn't come back,
then Resa will have a permanent employee slot.
You could become a permanent employee, understood?
A true fashion editor.
You won't have to buy coffee, water plants, or research for others anymore!
Are you stupid?
I am going to be formally an editor for Resa!
Xia Fan, eight years old. That's my first time reading a Resa magazine with my mother.
If I can formally become an employee,
then I'd have fulfilled my dreams!
Control yourself.
This is the time that you need to be calm.
Just pretend like you don't know, understand?
Calm, calm, calm.
Okay, okay. Get the hot water.
In 1966, the outfit that Yves Saint Laurent introduced is Le Smoking.
You actually mixed it up with the power outfits
released by Armani and Klein during 1980.
How'd you do your research?
What is Le Smoking? It was a neutral outfit!
What is the female power outfit?
It was to show female power, designed and measured for females.
Are these two the same?
As a fashion editor,
you have no fashion judgment or sense at all!
What're you doing? Go home.
So many people want the job but couldn't get in.
Hello, everybody. How are you all?
I'll buy everyone coffee.
Come to my office for a theme selection meeting in half an hour.
Li Xiao, find out what everyone wants to drink.
Okay, no problem!
Thank you.
Xia Fan! Xia Fan, help me delay them.
Sorry... Sorry!
Sorry.
- Hello, Xia Fan? - Why aren't you back yet?
I spilled a cup of coffee.
Is spilling coffee more important than a meeting?
I spilled Amanda's double expresso!
What to do?
I'll buy another cup.
Sorry, sir. I'll help clean it up later.
Xia Fan, help me stall them for twenty more minutes.
Twenty minutes? What're you doing?
There are too many people in line!
Just help me stall a bit! Hanging up.
Sir, your coffee.
It's the same as yours.
Hurry and go.
Thanks.
- Here's the money— - No need.
Thanks. Excuse me.
I discussed it with the chief editor for a long time.
We're preparing to release a supplement called Resa Plus,
with increased contents on male models as the theme,
mainly focusing on amateurs. So for this week,
Little Mo, Xia Fan,
Linda, Jasmine, prepare your amateur model candidate.
Make sure to include their street-style photos.
The ones with potential, we'll sign with and train.
They might even become Resa's exclusive model.
Additionally, the literary editing team is proposing a collaboration
for an interview with famed writer Yun Zhi. Xia Fan, I have to trouble you for this.
Submit to me a character styling and photoshoot plan for him.
Little Mo, follow up and assist her.
We'll discuss it again next meeting.
Okay? Meeting's over.
[Office of the Literary Editorial Department]
Call the typesetting company and have them rush the typeset of that picture book.
It's almost been a week.
I'll call now.
Editor Wu, this is Mr. Bi's third draft.
Got it, okay.
What do you mean? Trying to bribe me before I even see the first draft?
Okay, let me see your masterpiece.
Footless...
Bro, what is this?
Could you be cleaner? How do I read this?
Footless what? Don't know the word?
Say, it was not easy that you finally finished writing a book, but I could not even understand the title.
Do you think people will buy it?
You can't understand, but that doesn't mean others can't either.
This word is "zhi." Footless Zhi.
It reads "zhi"?
Got it.
Your pen name, Lei Yang.
Is this a place?
If you want to use a place as your pen name,
why didn't you pick a better sounding one?
Like Hangzhou...
Even Chengdu. At least there's a popular song about it.
How about one with a strong taste?
Songhua River. But what'd you choose?
Your book title and pen name,
I can't understand what you're trying to express.
Do you think normal readers will understand?
You even were not embarrassed to say that you don't understand.
You're a high-level editor of Dong Fan Publishing House.
But you don't even know the word "zhi" from Footless Zhi?
You think I really didn't know that word?
"Zhi," a bug without feet.
Your "Footless Zhi," using common language, just means
"A bug without feet that's without feet."
That's repetition, you know?
And you're a writer?
Even your book title has errors.
Seriously?
Take it back. Edit.
I'm telling you! You asked for the draft.
At least, finish looking through it.
Don't cross the line.
If it wasn't for your bit of talent, I wouldn't help you.
Will you change it or not?
If you don't edit then I won't look over it.
Finish in two days.
One more thing.
I'm thinking... Are you considering becoming an editor's assistant here?
Instead of writing that useless stuff at home, better to come here and actually learn.
You can see more of others' drafts.
You can also get to know the publishing process.
What do you think?
I'm telling you, I am an author.
I hold in high esteem
a free mind and independent thinking.
I won't come. Goodbye.
Stop!
Come back.
Bye-bye.
Two days! Change it!
Xia Fan, minimalism goes well with a solid one-color background.
For the styling and clothes, just use Professor Yun Zhi's usual fashion style.
For the shoot, use his office or his house.
A plan like that will highlight Professor Yun Zhi's career as a writer more.
There are some examples that I already printed for you.
Look over them.
Love you!
Leaders, this way.
Thank you so much to all of you
for visiting Resa today. It's an honor.
This board is our background board.
Illustration themes, topics, and articles are posted here.
Xia Fan, who are these people? Amanda is so polite towards them.
They're management from the publishing house.
Today might be observation day.
That superior is so young.
The one in white pants.
She's in charge of HR (human resources).
As long as she signs, you're a part of Resa.
Next, come this way. This is our sample room.
A lot of the model's mock-ups happen in here.
This is the new piece we're doing
with the features team for next month's issue.
Yun Zhi is a writer, isn't he?
Yes. At Resa, we're always integrating literature with fashion
to create a high-quality fashion magazine.
- This way. - Thank you.
Hello, Grandma!
- Are you calling me? - Who are you calling grandma?
Grandma, did you lose an earring?
I didn't wear earrings today.
I'm talking about this.
You're talking about my brooch?
Brooch?
Okay, I'll call it a brooch for now.
But it's actually an earring, right?
You can see the silver fretwork design.
Several years ago, Chanel and Pandora both released similarly crafted earrings.
If I remember correctly,
this design was on display at a jewelry show in New York several years ago.
- You're sure? - I'm sure.
- Li Xiao, have you printed the papers? - Wait a minute.
I have further evidence.
From your disposition,
I think that you're someone who appreciates symmetrical aesthetics more.
So, you must've lost an earring and made the other one a brooch.
But wearing it like this is nice, too.
It is an earring, after all. I hope you can find the other one.
Enough, go do what you have to do.
- Are you done with your copywriting? - Done.
Apologies. This is our intern, quite an argumentative personality.
If she said anything wrong, I hope you don't mind.
I'm fine.
Her analysis was quite interesting.
- What's your name? - My name is Li Xiao.
"Xiao" as in school?
How coincidental, the same character in the word for proofreading.
Intern? When are you becoming a formal employee?
I think soon.
This child is nice.
- I told you to control yourself. - Did I not?
She's a superior and you called her grandma?
She... seems friendly.
What do you mean by becoming a formal employee soon?
- Well... - Learn to behave yourself, Xiao!
I thought I was pretty calm.
No problem, I'll place it where you want it. Okay?
No can do? How about this?
Send the post about our product
to the top of the public listings.
If this is the case, the top followed by... GIF,
and then, fluorescence. That's right.
The audience are all middle-aged,
so this advertising method is the best.
Don't worry.
It will be updated tomorrow. Okay.
Okay, bye.
You're back.
Didn't I tell you
not to casually enter without my permission?
I called you but you didn't pick up.
I urgently need to talk to you. It's cold outside, so the two of us just came in.
What do you want me to write this time?
An essay about filial piety.
How much rent does it cover?
A week's.
Take a look.
This is my lead line, "If your parents are still both alive and healthy, you have to read this."
Look at how it draws your attention.
See this proverb here.
The most important virtue is filial piety.
It immediately points out the central concept.
The rest is just arguing out the point.
Take a look if it is good. Look.
Isn't it already written pretty well?
The problem isn't the essay.
I want to add some life hacks at the end.
Things about health, wellness, and beauty.
Without that stuff, middle-aged folks won't read it.
If they don't read it, how am I going to get ads?
I really can't write those.
I knew you would say so.
Back here,
I attached a bunch of web addresses.
Go take a look and pick out some things.
If you really can't do it, you can at least copy and paste. Right?
One week. A week's worth of rent.
That's more like it.
Don't bother the child. He can sleep in my room.
Okay.
Make sure to hurry. I've got to have it by tomorrow morning.
I have to send it by the afternoon.
Thank you.
[My Family Noodle Shop]
[Open for Business]
Get up. Quick!
Put it on.
Let's go.
I've sent the electronic version to your e-mail.
Not bad. Fighting.
I'm going. Bye.
What everyone is seeing are some references for this time's topic.
For the proposal on Mr. Yun Zhi's interview,
my presupposition is a minimalistic style concept.
Minimalism is not anti-materialism
nor is asceticism.
Rather, it is having a clear-cut understanding of what one wants,
to pursue your own substance.
Minimalists tend to have a firm and resolute attitude towards their life
and a strong sense of judgment.
I think that all of the above satisfy Mr. Yun Zhi's author-background.
At the same time, it fits
the feature editor's theme of "the heart's desires."
For the filming,
I believe we can just use Professor Yun Zhi's everyday style
paired with a neat working environment.
This will help accentuate his aspect of doing what his heart desires.
The contents for the interview, I already understood clearly.
We can follow that direction.
But about the shoot,
are you sure you didn't misunderstand
the concept of minimalism?
Does minimalism really have to be extremely simple?
Little Mo, do you have any other suggestions?
I already saw Xia Fan's work.
But I personally prefer another style.
Using the season's most "in" fashion to reveal a whole new Yun Zhi,
allowing him to break out of the traditional image readers have of him.
You can use a pure color for the background,
but we must have the feel of the character's sense of style.
For example, a 2018 Armani's haute couture tuxedo suit
paired with a refined wristwatch and bow tie.
It gives off a refined and elegant feeling.
Dressing Mr. Yun Zhi this way will give readers a pleasing sight
and they will also be able to feel the quality of life
and high-class aesthetics that he pursues.
Do you all have any other opinions?
Chief.
I think following fashion trends is a very interesting idea,
but we can't just ignore the interviewee's unique traits
and only focus on being fashionable.
The minimalism concept that Xia Fan mentioned earlier
isn't about being very simple but being very focused.
Because all of us are extremely familiar with Mr. Yun Zhi,
let us try to imagine it.
Does high fashion style really
match him?
I previously looked into the contents of Mr. Yun Zhi's new book.
It's a novel about memories.
So, I think the reader would still prefer to comprehensively and stereoscopically understand
what Mr. Yun Zhi is like in real life.
Then, we can make a few changes to his styling.
We can choose a more luxurious outfit,
but the location setting
should still be somewhere near he lives and works every day.
Use the sense of his flow of life's reality
to echo the style of his writing.
I think that'd be better.
Little Mo. Xia Fan.
Revise your projects a bit more and give them to me.
Li Xiao...
You prepare one, too. I'll think about this again.
Is that Li Xiao stupid?
It's obvious the chief's already showing her bias by letting Xiao Mo present a proposal.
She never stops talking.
Is she still on probation?
Yeah, her future seems bleak.
Did you finish your street style photos yet?
I have to learn from Little Mo.
She made two calls to an agency and was done.
I have to go find a non-amateur, too.
You feel aggrieved?
No.
Each person has their own method.
Then, it means you're already used to it.
So, you don't care at all.
Although I don't fully approve of Little Mo's methods,
she at least fulfilled my requests.
Xia Fan, in present society,
no one cares that you are persevering.
They only care about if you can show them results.
The job of being a fashion editor
has a lot of people fighting over it.
If you don't do well, there are only two reasons.
Either it's your attitude or problems with your aesthetics.
However, your little junior has a lot of ideas.
Li Xiao has really worked hard during her probation period.
She's also a faithful reader of Resa.
She also has her own views on fashion.
She's just too impulsive sometimes.
When she talks or does things, she goes a bit over.
Also,
she didn't know that was your proposal.
Sorry, please forgive her.
Do you think I'm that kind of person?
Here. How about if we still go along with your proposal,
but you must make some revisions.
Okay.
I promise to carefully look over your proposal.
Okay.
Oh right, you haven't prepared the amateur models candidate list yet.
Hurry up.
Xia Fan!
The things I said at the meeting were okay, right?
Nothing was wrong.
If you have an opinion you have to say it.
Amanda isn't unhappy, right?
Of course, she's a bit unhappy.
But she talked about other things with me, too.
What?
She said you are not bad.
Really?
HR is here.
HR is here to see Amanda. Could it be because of me?
Wait, wait.
Control yourself.
Remember what I told you earlier.
I'm going street snapping.
How about if I go with you?
You really shouldn't.
You should personally verify the full-time thing.
Okay, okay.
Call me later.
- Here, I'll show you. - What kind of lipstick is this?
New kind? Does it look nice?
Look. There's eyeshadow, too.
Perfect, I'm leaving work today to
see my boyfriend. You can lend me some.
Please open the door for me.
Where are you going?
To the Literary Editorial Department.
Register here.
Register.
This brush is pretty fun.
I came here yesterday.
Don't remember.
Does this eyeshadow look good?
But I don't like this mirror.
I see you use this every day.
That one is brighter.
I'll apply some more.
I think he actually came yesterday.
So what?
What was that so early in the morning? Bad attitude.
Next time, do not forget.
What kind of person is that?
You don't need to send me off.
- All right, then I won't. - Okay.
I'll leave this issue with you then.
All right, all right. Goodbye.
- You are Li Xiao, right? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's like this. Your internship ends today.
Thank you for all the work you've done for Resa.
From tomorrow on, just stay home and wait for further notice.
- As soon as I have news, I'll contact you right away. - Okay.
Then, I'll be at home waiting for your phone call.
- That's it then. Bye. - Bye.
What did you do with your revisions?
In the first paragraph of the story,
in less than a hundred words, there are 10 obscure words.
If you were a reader,
if you encountered such a book, what would be your thoughts?
I'm telling you!
What you're doing is trampling on literature.
If I don't trample on you, the marketing department will be trampling on me.
Do you understand?
I'm telling you...
For any novels that I take on as my editing project,
the sales have to be guaranteed.
And from my experience,
with this kind of book, you won't be able to sell five hundred copies.
Remember, Zhou Zimo,
whether it's literature or art,
if it's some sentimental nonsense that strays from reality and the reader's emotions,
it's all rubbish.
What did you say?
Won't be able to sell five hundred copies?
Wu Yu, I'm telling you this!
If my books don't sell five hundred copies,
I will eat it in front of you!
Amazing. I'm serious.
I'm really looking forward to it.
We don't need to wait until the book is published. We can make the bet now.
Take this manuscript out onto the street and ask five people.
If even just one person recognizes the word "zhi,"
I'll eat your manuscript.
But if no one knows it,
shouldn't you reconsider
changing your book's name? Changing your content?
Come up with something more concrete and realistic.
Got it?
I'll give you one week to change it, you hear me, Zhou Zimo?
I'm telling you this again.
In here, I'm called Lei Yang!
Lei Yang. Big Writer Lei Yang.
Be careful! If you break it, you'll need to pay for it!
Can he afford it?
Excuse me. Can I disturb you for a few minutes?
Do you know this character?
I don't know, I don't know.
Thank you.
Sorry to disturb you.
Do you know this character?
Footless...
I got it. Thank you.
Sorry to disturb you. Do you know this character?
I don't know it, sorry.
Thank you.
Hi.
I'm an editor working for Resa Magazine.
We are currently looking for amateur models. Can I take some pictures of you?
If you're suitable and get chosen, we may end up
signing a contract with you. I think you have what it takes.
Were you the one who took pictures of me?
Yes. I wanted to know if you were photogenic.
Then, please delete the photos.
Are you making a submission at Dong Fan?
I have friends in the Literary Editorial Department. Do you need my help?
No need for you to meddle in my business.
Please delete the photos.
I don't have an interest in the model industry.
Why don't we discuss it some more?
I can tell you more about it. What do you think?
I don't have an interest in that industry.
That's my camera, what are you doing?
This is my privacy!
After I delete the photos, I will return your card to you.
Wait, stop!
My camera is broken.
I have work materials inside this, you know that?
I told you, I will give you back the card.
I will also pay for the camera.
Then, give me your phone number.
You have a business card, right?
Which magazine do you work for?
Resa. Resa Magazine.
Okay. I will give the camera back to you.
Within the next two days.
This is your manuscript, right?
I'll remember you.
Even if you don't,
I will surely compensate you.
Wu Yu.
Fairy Xia Fan? (alluding to the phrase "the fairy has descended to the mortal world" of a different "xia" character)
What is it?
I want to ask you something.
Don't hesitate to ask.
Who's the editor for this? Footless Zhi.
You really know this word?
How's this with you?
Did this rascal run over and try to submit this at Resa?
Does he think literature is fashion?
He's your writer?
You guessed right.
What happened?
I was looking for amateur models on the streets.
Took some photos of him, but he didn't like it.
He grabbed my camera and broke it.
Him?
Then, he should pay you.
He will; that's what he said.
Right. He has to pay.
Don't worry. This is my writer.
If he runs, there's still me.
That's not what I mean.
I want to find him.
Got through it.
Don't think about it anymore.
My dream.
How many times already?
Innumerable times.
Buy it once you've been made a permanent employee.
Go. Let's go.
Shouldn't we say something?
Say what?
Advance congratulations.
Congratulate for what?
Congratulations in advance for becoming
Resa's forever
reader.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Gold Proofreaders Team @ Viki
I was just kidding.
Why are you so petty? Where's your sense of humor?
Xia Fan,
of course, I will forever be Resa's reader.
You don't need to remind or provoke me.
You've already spoiled the surprise to me anyway.
Let's just say I'm celebrating in advance for myself.
