The adaptation of the fairy tale has progressed!

And this time it's not a leather bag company that wants to cheat the copyright, according to the introduction of Lu Benjie on the phone, this animation production company called Pipi Shrimp gives a lot of sincerity, not only the price is very generous, but also willing to make concessions on the surrounding copyright.

For this reason, Yang Yi decided to spare a day to come to the publishing house to meet with the bosses, producers and other teams that Pipi Shrimp came to visit.

Then again, Pi Phi Shrimp is a domestic animation production company, and when he first heard about it, Yang Yi subconsciously wanted to veto the deal.

However, after a later investigation, I found that the Chinese animation industry in this world is not weak, perhaps because of the integrity of copyright protection, domestic animation has developed very well, and talents and studios for drawing comics have emerged in endlessly. Like Yang Yi, who asked Lu Benjie to recruit painters to set up a picture book department, it didn't take a week for more than 40 artists to be in place!

The core of the animation industry is actually not the painter but the technology, Yang Yi used to watch children's animation with Xixi, he watched real animated movies, serialized animation dramas, only to know that the Chinese animation industry is no worse than Yang Yi's neon country in his previous life!

Of course, the animation industry is the same as the film industry, there are big animation companies, there are small animation companies, there are excellent animation works, and there are a lot of bad movies flooding the market!

After investigation, the scale of Pipi shrimp can only belong to the medium level, but their works are good, maintaining one or two new works every year, the box office and word of mouth are high, and they are strong contenders for the best animated feature film award in China every year!

That's why Lu Benjie tried his best to reverse Yang Yi's prejudice against domestic animation, and Yang Yi was willing to come to the publishing house.

......

Yu Ying only has one day off a week, and because she is engaged in the catering industry, she can't take weekends off, so she usually chooses Monday.

However, Yu Ying was on vacation today, so she didn't have a good rest at home, but after sending Yu Xiaowei to school, she took her bag and took the bus to Tingshan District.

"Hello, how can I help you?" Yu Ying had just walked into the office building where the Sahara Press was located, and a receptionist noticed her, and asked with a smile while looking at Yu Ying.

"Hello, I'm here to submit an article today, doesn't your publishing house run a children's book author support fund?" Yu Ying said with the same smile. In fact, the reception at the front desk is also a service industry, and Yu Ying and the other party are peers.

Don't look at Yu Ying's composure now, in fact, she is still a little nervous in her heart, she took out a stack of manuscript paper from her bag, and her hand holding the manuscript paper was a little tight, but these details could not be seen at the front desk.

Yes, Yu Ying is here to contribute!

After her discussion with her colleagues, she also had a preliminary understanding of Yang Yi and Sahara Press, and she could probably judge that the advertisement in the book was not a brain-dead scam similar to SMS scam.

Although she still has no bottom in her heart, Yu Ying is eager to get support money, so that she can have money to change a better house for her mother and daughter, and she can also improve her life.

Even...... She also longs to be like Yang Yi mentioned in a certain report, from a poor mother to a well-known writer. If she can become a full-time writer one day, Yu Ying can also have a little more time to accompany her daughter to grow up.

Therefore, in the past two weeks, after Yu Ying came back from work, she thought about her own story, wrote an outline according to the requirements of the advertisement, and the first three chapters of the opening.

I was very tired from work, and when I came back, I had to lie down in front of my desk, writing in the dim light, Yu Ying almost slept in bed for the past two weeks, and the tiredness of her body and mind was intertwined, which made her a little unbearable.

It was also with great expectations that Yu Ying was so nervous......

"Do you want to submit a children's book author support fund?" the receptionist asked in surprise, "Of course this is no problem, but you can send an email directly to our receiving mailbox by postal express, Sahara Express, or even send an email directly to our receiving mailbox, there is no need for you to come to Jiangcheng in person!"

Yu Ying hurriedly told the other party that she was also from Jiangcheng, she took her handwritten manuscript, and said with some embarrassment: "And I think it's more sincere to come here in person, and I want to consult with the editor of the foundation for some questions." ”

The reception at the front desk was not embarrassed by Yu Ying, she smiled and said: "Okay, then you wait a minute, I will help you ask which editor can receive you, the fund was set up by our boss, and everything is left to us to operate, so the editor of our publishing house is also the editor of the foundation." ”

After a while, a balding middle-aged man with a very kind attitude walked out, shook Yu Ying's hand, and said, "Hello, I'm Wen Xuefeng, the editor of the Sahara Press. ”

Wen Xuefeng heard Yu Ying say that in addition to submission, there were some questions he wanted to consult, so he asked the front desk receptionist to help him book a small conference room, and he and Yu Ying sat down to discuss in detail.

"Your question, in fact, many authors called to consult some time ago. After listening to Yu Ying's question, Wen Xuefeng said with a smile, "First of all, I want to clarify that this fund is a support fund set up by our boss, and the purpose is of course to allow more excellent children's books to emerge." ”

"So we will not take the creativity of new authors, or the selfishness of copyright to run this support fund, when reviewing the manuscript, it is also based on the outline you provide, the content of the first three chapters as the object of investigation, if it is indeed a very good work, we will give financial support, and then there will be some free writing training, and even help you make your works into picture books, to help you broaden your sales, I believe you have already understood!"

"Why do I say you don't have to worry about your creativity being misappropriated?" Wen Xuefeng said with a smile, "Because I don't know if you have registered the copyright of your work, in principle, we encourage authors to register the copyright first, and then submit their manuscripts to us! Even if you don't understand, or forget to register the copyright, after we approve it, we will remind you to find a lawyer to register the copyright first, and then we will sign the support contract." ”

With the protection of copyright organizations, Yu Ying really doesn't have to worry about these problems.

"Then what are your criteria for reviewing the manuscript?, do you think I can get support for this manuscript?" asked Yu Ying nervously.

"I can't tell you if this is possible. Because for the same manuscript, we will arrange for five editors to take turns to review it, and if more than half of the editors in charge feel that it is okay, the manuscript will be handed to our associate editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief. Of course, at this time, after the review of the five editors-in-charge, as long as there are no major problems with the work, you can get 10,000 yuan of support, and the deputy editor-in-chief has the right to determine from 1 to 30,000 yuan, if your work wants to get 40,000 to 50,000 yuan of support, then it also needs to pass the review of our editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief!" Wen Xuefeng explained.

"So strict?" Yu Ying showed a surprised look, "How does this feel more difficult than the college entrance examination?"

Wen Xuefeng said with a smile: "Isn't this also responsible for you authors? The rules are clear, the rights and responsibilities are clear, and some excellent works are avoided from being buried!"

Yu Ying, who was afraid of exams since she was a child, felt a lot of psychological pressure, she was a little out of breath and had to slow down, so Yu Ying excused herself to go to the bathroom and come out of the corridor to breathe fresh air.

Just walked around the corner of the corridor, Yu Ying heard the conversation between two men.

"I'm basically very satisfied with the conditions of Pipi Shrimp, but you can ask them to see if it's possible, and we will also participate in the investment, or if his boss agrees, I can strengthen my stake in Pi Pi Shrimp!" Yang Yi smiled and patted Lu Benjie's shoulder and said.

"The second type may be relatively small, the owner of Pipi Shrimp has a lot of money, and he is not the owner of bad money. "But let's try! I'll let the negotiators talk to them." ”

"Well, if it really doesn't work, it's not reluctant. Yang Yi smiled, "By the way, did I read the new book I sent you some time ago?

"Boss, just one word, shocked!" Lu Benjie joked.

", these are two words!"

"Really, I think your creative level is getting higher and higher!" Lu Benjie patted his ass without leaving a trace, "When I first started reading this book, I saw the prison and thought it was the same work as "Prison Break", but after reading it, I felt that it was more like "White Night Walking" or "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", which portrayed human nature very well!"

"No, that's not all!" Lu Benjie said with some excitement, "It is more about people's desire for freedom, about the spirit of freedom that will never be extinguished in the face of setbacks!"

However, Yang Yi frowned, pressed Lu Benjie, and told him not to continue, but to turn his head to look at the corner of the corridor.

"Who is eavesdropping there?" Yang Yi asked in a deep voice as he stared at it tightly.

Although it is not a confidential matter, it is naturally a very unpleasant thing to be overheard!

"Ah...... I...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" A female voice came, and then Yu Ying, who was wearing a small suit, walked out of the corner in embarrassment.

"Which department are you? Who taught you not to go to work and come here to eavesdrop?" Lu Benjie, an honest man, was a little embarrassed and angry at the moment, he made such a big basket in front of the boss, and he was not strict in managing it!

Yu Ying was a little scared, but she didn't put her status very humble, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm not a staff member of the publishing house, I'm here to submit today...... of authors who would like to apply for the Children's Book Author Support Fund. ”

"Why are you here?" asked Lu Benjie suspiciously.

Yu Ying had no choice but to tell Lu Benjie and Yang Yi the reason why she was here, and she said in a hesitant voice: "I just came out to go to the bathroom, I didn't expect to hear you talking, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just that I saw Yang Yi there, I ...... I want to ask him some questions. ”

In fact, Yu Ying didn't think to confirm with Yang Yi those questions she was worried about before, how did she know that she would have the opportunity to meet Yang Yi?

Yang Yi's face was a little pale, and when he heard that the other party was an author who came to contribute, and it seemed that he should also be a married young mother, he was much kinder: "What do you want to ask me?"

"That's it, Mr. Yang, I want to know, does this support fund you set up really want to help us writers who have some stories of their own?" Yu Ying was nervous, not knowing that there was something wrong with her wording.

Yang Yi didn't care, he smiled: "Of course not, I have selfish intentions, I said in an interview before, I hope there will be more children's books on the market, excellent works will appear! You are also a mother, right? Then you should also be able to understand my thoughts, I think my daughter, and my son will be able to have books suitable for them to read when they grow up, so that their interest in reading will not be nowhere to play!"

When Yu Ying heard Yang Yi's sincere answer, she had already let go of most of her heart, but at this moment, she was completely relieved.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang! Actually, I was a little worried at the beginning that it was a false advertisement, because I was a ......" Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and talked to Yang Yi and Lu Benjie with some excitement about her mental journey from hesitation to courage to try these days.

Yu Ying was also suppressed for more than two weeks, and only found an opportunity to vent it today.

Yang Yi didn't interrupt, listened patiently, and then said: "Ms. Yu, we admire your courage very much, and understand that you must have put in a lot of effort in this process, which is not easy!"

"However, our support fund will not be my word, I hope it can really play its role and let more excellent children's books emerge! Therefore, our editorial department will have a fair and just approval process, and I cannot interfere with the approval results......

Speaking of this, Lu Benjie also nodded to Yang Yi.

Yu Ying saw that Yang Yi had misunderstood, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that, Wen Xuefeng Wen editor has already told me this just now, I am willing to follow the process, be fair!"

As far as Yu Ying is concerned, she is just looking forward to a real opportunity, not hollowing out her head and trying to go through the back door! If she is such an unprincipled person, she is afraid that she will also go out with some rich guests to spend all day drinking!

"Ms. Yu is from Jiangcheng, right?" Lu Benjie interjected and asked.

"My daughter and I both settled in Jiangcheng. Yu Ying hurriedly said.

"Since Ms. Yu has such a strong interest in children's literature, you can come to us on Friday afternoon, and every Saturday we will arrange editors to give free lessons to some new authors, and also provide everyone with an opportunity to interact and communicate, whether you have passed the final approval or not, you can participate!"

"Friday afternoon ......" Yu Ying was a little happy at first, but she was a little hesitant when she thought of the time, but finally she gritted her teeth and said, "I know, thank you, I will definitely come over to study when I have time!"

"Come on! I wish you success!" Yang Yi didn't pay too much attention to it, shook hands with Yu Ying, encouraged the young mother, and then left with Lu Benjie.
