Chapter 20: Heaven Help Me

"Hello author, I am He Chan, the editor-in-charge of "Children's Fun", and I am very happy to add your Feixin ......"

Li Han saw the message sent by He Chan and understood that He Chan wanted to establish a good relationship first.

Otherwise, according to the normal process, the editor will generally ask you directly whether all the copyrights of the work are in your hands, and then give you a quote or something.

Where will you pull what homely things?

Li Han was naturally willing.

The two of them chatted casually for a while before getting down to business.

Ask Li Han about the copyright of "Tortoise and Hare Race" and other things.

The copyright is naturally all in Li Han's hands.

After that, the quotation was made, and the other party directly gave the price of 800 thousand words.

Li Han deliberately went to find out about it, and knew that the price of 800 thousand words would generally only be given to senior famous authors.

For a rookie author like him, the price generally does not exceed 50 words per thousand.

The other party said that this price was applied to the editor-in-chief, and she herself was not qualified to give this price.

The price is indeed sincere, and Li Han is not hypocritical.

Directly agreed.

"Tortoise and Hare Race" is almost 3,000 words and more than 2,000 yuan.

This money is not the money to buy all the copyrights, but only the copyright of the other party's publication of "Tortoise and Hare Race" in the magazine "Children's Fun".

The rest of the copyrights are still in Li Han's hands.

That being the case, there's not much to worry about.

The other party was also very happy to see Li Han so straightforward, and after confirming the relevant signing matters.

Finally, I asked Li Han whether he needed to publish under a pen name, and what kind of pen name should he use?

Li Han thought about it, it seemed that there was no need to use any pen name, just use his real name.

There are quite a few people who publish their works under their real names.

The other party was not surprised, and said, "Author Li Han, if you have any works in the future, you can contact me directly, and I will definitely give you the best price." ”

Li Han had no opinion, and replied directly, "Okay, you can." ”

......

When He Chan saw Li Han's reply, she was very happy and said "yes".

That's how the good mood comes about.

She believes that the author named Li Han, if he posts another work, even if it can't compare to "Tortoise and Rabbit Race", it will definitely not be much worse.

Huh, his name is Li Han.

It's a coincidence.

He Chan thought of the author of "The White Fox and the Scholar", also called Li Han.

Now it is almost certain that "White Fox and Scholar" is Li Han's work alone.

Although until now, Li Han has never stood up to speak out.

But the outside world has almost certain.

Li Han is a rather common name, and I don't know how many people call Li Han in the country.

However, now, a Li Han has appeared in the public eye, and a Li Han is about to appear in the public eye.

Could it be that this year is the year of "Li Han"?

He Chan thought about it like this and laughed unconsciously.

She was about to get up and go to the editor-in-chief, when she saw Li Han send another message.

""Tortoise and Hare Race" is actually just the beginning of the story of the tortoise and the hare race, and there can be a lot of follow-up stories of the race, or new stories of the race. Your magazine may be able to run an event or something based on this, and it may have a good effect. ”

"What does that mean?"

He Chan frowned slightly, thinking with all her might.

Suddenly, she thought.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I hurriedly knocked on the editor-in-chief's office.

She's trying to get "Tortoise and Hare Race" in time for the next issue of the magazine.

"Children's Fun" is a weekly magazine that is published every Saturday.

Today is Monday, and there are five days left until the next release.

It should have come in a hurry.

"All the signings are done?"

"Yes, editor-in-chief, it's all done. The other party is very crisp. ”

"Xiaochan, well done. Good work, really good work! We have to publish it as soon as possible. Well, it will be released in the next issue. ”

"Editor-in-chief, if I can, I hope the next issue will be released. ”

"The next issue? No, Xiaochan, the next issue has already been arranged. Let's go to the next issue. ”

"Editor-in-chief, this story is really just the beginning......"

After listening to He Chan, the editor-in-chief Hao Jianfeng thought for a while, and then became extremely happy, and laughed: "Okay! Xiaochan! Well done, really good! This story is even better than I thought before." It's a magical story. The author's name is Li Han, isn't it? Xiaochan, you must have a good relationship with this author. ”

He Chan said: "Editor-in-chief, rest assured, I will." That thing to issue ......"

Hao Jianfeng said: "For the next issue, I will personally follow up and supervise. It's a very important story for us! And it couldn't have come at a better time. ”

After finishing speaking, Hao Jianfeng still couldn't suppress his joy.

I even want to yell at the sky, "God help me!"

"Children's Fun" is currently the largest circulation children's magazine, and it is still very beautiful on the surface.

But in fact, it has slowly reached a bottleneck period.

Moreover, this bottleneck period has lasted for a long time and has never been able to break through.

Magazine sales have not broken new ground for a long time, and are even slowly declining.

Readers' evaluation of the magazine has gradually become a little slighter.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is the problem of the work.

The works published in the magazine cannot be said to be not excellent.

After all, they are all carefully selected works by the editors, and they are all excellent works.

But it's just a good work.

Including the works of famous artists who have collaborated with magazines for a long time, they can only be said to be excellent.

This makes several of the main competitors of "Children's Fun" not necessarily worse than them in terms of the quality of their works.

Their biggest advantage is shrinking, and there is almost no advantage left.

The final result is that the circulation of competitors is gradually approaching.

It's eyeing it all the way!

As the editor-in-chief, Hao Jianfeng is under a lot of pressure.

Even at the top, the pressure is the greatest.

After all, the reason for the work is the main reason why the magazine is in a bottleneck.

Hao Jianfeng has been trying to find a way to break through the bottleneck.

But on second thought, there seems to be no other way than to improve the overall quality of the work.

However, the quality of the work is not something that can be improved by his efforts.

Even the best and most senior authors can't create better works, so what else can they do?

But now, there is a sense of high spirits between Hao Jianfeng's protrusions.

He's finally found a way to break through the magazine's bottleneck.

Moreover, the probability is very high.

"Tortoise and Hare Race" is his way to break through the bottleneck of the magazine.

At first, he just thought that this work was very good, even better than the works of those veteran masters.

He was very pleased.

But only very happy.

However, under He Chan's reminder, he found that this was no longer a very good work, but a magical work.

A work that can help him break through the bottleneck of the magazine!

There are countless follow-ups, or new possibilities for this story.

Then, he can let parents and children create new stories themselves.

He held a prize collection activity, and I believe that both parents and children will be very interested in participating.

For parents, this is a great opportunity to exercise their children's imagination and writing skills.

And the story itself will be of great interest to children.

He has roughly thought about the copywriting.

"The tortoise wins, or the hare wins? That's probably what it means, write around this.

If done well, the magazine will be able to break through the current bottleneck.

Hao Jianfeng wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.
