Chapter Twenty-Six: Wrath
Journalists and readers, competitors and parties alike are all waiting for the final judgment from above.
It's ridiculous to say. Among these people, Zhu Ziqing is the least worried. He has a large number of works in his mind, even if this road is not passable, there are a lot of other works that can be carried, and he really doesn't pay attention to this fairy tale. This is also the main reason why he agreed with Zhao Mingyuan and them to do this knowing that there was a risk.
The most troubled are the competitors of "Children's Literature and Art". They want it to be reconciled, and they want the relevant departments to let it go. Reconciled, and their conspiracy was accomplished. With one less opponent, there is still a great hope of taking Seven Nights under his belt.
But if the relevant departments let it go, it means that the above has relaxed the policy on the fairy tale market. It's even more exciting than taking Seven Nights under its umbrella. The shackles around your neck are removed, and you're still afraid that there won't be an excellent story?
But before a ministry had made a final decision, a review appeared in the Education Newspaper first.
Feng Yukun is the director of a certain department and is in charge of children's literature. In the past few years in office, Xiao Gui Cao has followed, although he has not made any achievements, but he has not made any mistakes. As we all know, in such a department, no mistakes are the greatest achievement.
A few days ago, the minister talked to him privately and said that he was going to put a burden on him. What does it mean to add a burden? I just want to promote him. Feng Yukun is happy, don't mention it, everyone has been smiling when he sees him in the past few days. Even the aunt who built the toilet to clean it began to take the initiative to say hello. The people in their department thought he was crazy. But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
"How can this be justified, how can it be justified? It's so bold that it doesn't even take us seriously. It must be done strictly. Early in the morning, people in the department heard a roar coming from Feng Yukun's office.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with the director. Two days ago, I was smiling like Maitreya Buddha, why is it so angry today. Or did something happen? Before they could figure it out, they saw Feng Yukun walking out of the office with a black face.
"Immediately let the person in charge come to the conference room for a meeting, and don't come if it is less than ten minutes. After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of others, and went directly into the conference room.
The person in charge of the meeting who was procrastinating did not dare to grind this time, and rushed to the conference room as quickly as possible. By the time the last one arrived, less than five minutes had passed.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Feng Yukun's face was slightly pale. Just take out a stack of newspapers and a book and throw them on the table: "Look at these things, and then tell me what you think." ”
Despite his rage, he had not lost the last of his senses. Instead of directly revealing his own opinion, he waited for others to speak. This is his usual method, and he never takes his attitude lightly beforehand. Ask questions, let his men say, and finally he wraps up. In this way, even if something goes wrong, it is easy to shirk it.
As the department in charge of children's literature, they all know about such a miracle as "Children's Literature and Art" in their jurisdiction. They have naturally heard of the storm of public opinion caused by "Thumbelina". So just by glancing at what was on the table, they immediately understood why the director was angry.
"Don't be stunned, tell me what you think. After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, Feng Yukun knew the temperament of a group of people under him, but he didn't get angry because of it. Instead, I asked again.
Low people, you look at me, I look at you, you know that this level can't be avoided. The brain runs faster than the speed of light, organizing language. "Children's Literature and Art" and Seven Nights are not familiar with themselves, and if they are offended, they will be offended.
"The author of "Children's Literature and Art" and this What is Seven Nights is simply bold, dare to write and serialize anything. It simply does not take national policy into account. It must be punished severely. ”
Such authors and magazines who do not abide by the law and act recklessly must be severely punished. ”
"yes, look at what is written here. There are two works in total. One promotes violence. One is even more out of line, and even dares to write about love. This is simply a child's play on the children of the motherland. ”
Figuring out what the boss means is a compulsory course for every subordinate. All of you who are doing it are the best of them, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here. followed Feng Yukun's thoughts and expressed their own opinions.
Feng Yukun is deeply satisfied that his subordinates' opinions can be consistent with his own. The expression on his face looked much better.
"Well, since everyone thinks that it should be punished severely. Then talk about the specific punishment that should be punished, so that he can be convinced and deter others. ”
Let the punishment convince me that this is just a scene, and no one takes it seriously. They have experienced too many such things, and there are already ready-made methods there. You don't have to think about it, you just need to use it.
"It's nothing to preach violence, the main thing is that they dare to get involved in love. We have repeatedly ordered that love must not be depicted in children's literature. Since they dare to commit crimes against the wind, then we must beat this trend. Otherwise, how will the work be carried out in the future. So I think it's important to ban Seven Nights' works altogether. ordered "Children's Literature and Art" to suspend business for rectification for half a year. ”
"Half a year, that's too light, isn't it? I think it's better to revoke their license directly. ”
Everyone said a word, and quickly negotiated a feasible plan, and then submitted it to Feng Yukun. In this regard, Feng Yukun is even more satisfied.
"Since this is the consensus of everyone, I will not say anything. Just follow this ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and the door of the conference room was pushed open. I saw Feng Yukun's secretary trotting in front of him with an anxious face. Before he got angry, he put a newspaper in front of him.
The lowly people only saw Feng Yukun stunned for a moment, and then looked incredulous. Then his face turned blue and red. They were all thinking about what was written in the newspaper, and why did Director Feng, who was not moody, change his face when he saw it?
Everyone couldn't help but stare at the newspaper, and naturally they couldn't see anything from a distance. When I got closer, I vaguely saw the words 'Education Daily' written on the masthead.
Just when their thoughts were flying, Feng Yukun got up directly, said, 'The meeting is adjourned, and this matter will be discussed later', and left the conference room without looking back.
After leaving the conference room, these people searched for today's education newspaper to find out the reason for the change of face of their immediate boss. And they easily found the reason - a review on the front page of the education newspaper, a review of the Seven Nights and his work.
This review was published by the famous educator Luo Hongmian and is called "Revolution in the Fairy Tale World".
Luo Hongmian wrote at the beginning of her article: "I am a grandmother first, and then an educator. Putting aside the shell of an expert, I dote on my granddaughter as much as all grandmothers in the world who dote on their grandchildren. I don't know when my granddaughter fell in love with Shuck and Beta. Since then, Children's Literature has become a must-buy magazine in our family.
I love the story of Shuk and Beta. But also just like. Although it is brilliantly written, it does not make any innovations in form or content......"
She first recounted how she met the author of Seven Nights, and briefly talked about her evaluation of the most popular "Shuke and Beta". Then the conversation changed:
"We're not going to talk about 'Shuck and Beta' today, but 'Thumbelina', another work by Seven Nights. It's one of the most spiritual fairy tales I've ever seen. I really didn't expect that the imagination of people in the world could be so fantastic......"
She probably hadn't woken up from the shock of "Thumbelina" when she wrote this, so she said a lot of compliments. It's a story that goes up to the sky. After all, he was an expert, and he quickly collected his emotions and began to analyze the story from a professional point of view.
"As we all know, the domestic children's literature market has been slow to develop because of policy issues. Orcs, heroic deeds, myths, and more flood the market...... Occasionally, classic fairy tales are born without being able to escape this category, as is the case with the aforementioned "Shuk and Beta".
I always thought that this situation would continue for a long time. But after seeing "Thumbelina", I knew I was wrong......
Thumbelina completely breaks the stereotype in terms of setting...... Grow a thumbelina out of the grain of wheat tainted with magic. This kind of setting was unimaginable before, but it will become the most classic image in the literary world in the future.
In terms of content, it has changed the settings with strong didactic connotations, such as the same adventure and the victory of good over evil...... What hasn't changed is the same preaching of truth, goodness and beauty, and the same praise of positivity. But the storytelling is far higher than the former. ”
At the end of the article, she again couldn't help but give extremely high praise:
"The change brought about by 'Thumbelina' is a revolution that will surely revolutionize the entire fairy tale market......"
What is an education newspaper? Just look at the name. The newspapers for education sponsored by the Ministry of Education have always been the vane of the domestic education circles. The fact that this article appears in this place in itself represents the point of view of the Ministry of Education.
Not only that, Luo Hongmian, as a famous educator, has strong credibility in her words. This review also gave "Thumbelina" a professional label and dispelled the last bit of concern in the hearts of countless parents. It also cleared the barrier to word-of-mouth for "Children's Literature".
Someone is going to ask, even so. She's not qualified to make decisions for the Ministry of Culture, right? But if you know her other identity, you can understand that she really has the ability and qualifications.
Her other identity is that she is the mother of the current minister of a certain ministry.
