Chapter 24: Counterattack

"The new talent is defeated by the old brand, and "Children's Literature and Art" regains the first place. ”

"The three outstanding children's hands, can the seven nights break through. ”

"Who can be the troika of children's literature and art?"

Is it all over to regain the first place? No, Mao Wensu's creed is to take action if he does not make a move, and the opponent who is going to fight as soon as he makes a move cannot turn over. It's not over to get back the first place, he has to continue to stomp on his opponent a few times.

Therefore, once again, he used his own network, and the front pages of major mainstream media carried such reports at the same time. For a while, it created a crumbling feeling of "Children's Literature".

To Mao Wensu's surprise, even after such suppression. "Children's Literature" is still unmoving, as if it has resigned itself to its fate. But the more this happened, the more worried he became. The other party is definitely not someone who sits idly by, they must be brewing some conspiracy.

It's just that what he can't figure out is that in the face of such absolute strength, what other conspiracy can turn the situation around? Could it be a revision? Thinking of the news recently released by his opponent on the official website, Mao Wenshu's heart moved. But then the idea was dismissed.

In a literary magazine, the layout is only secondary, and it is the content that plays a decisive role. As long as the other party can't surpass himself in content, he still can't change the situation of being pressed and beaten. What's not this?

It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, he will soon know what absolute strength is.

After more than a month of hard work, the new edition of "Children's Literature" was finalized. Then it is naturally sent for inspection, printing, and sale, which will not be repeated here. When the new edition of the magazine was officially released, the nerves of the entire magazine were tensed. The success or failure of the revision is in one fell swoop.

"Lao Liu, why is today's Children's Literature different from before? Could you be mistaken?" a regular customer looked at the bookstore owner with questioning eyes.

"I said you Lao Li, we've known each other for so many years, have I ever lied to anyone? This is the "Children's Literature" that serialized "Shuke and Beta", but it has been revised. This is the first issue after the revision. The bookstore owner was not happy and said loudly.

"Are you reputable? Who sold me a copy last time and didn't even ask me for money. I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Lao Li said very shamelessly.

"You're embarrassed to say it. Speaking of this, Lao Liu was angry, pointed at Lao Li and said angrily: "I kept that book to show my grandson, and you snatched it." My grandson was ridiculed by other children in kindergarten because he didn't watch the latest issue of "Shuke and Beta" in time. ”

"You don't know that my grandson also likes to watch 'Shuk and Beta'? Thanks to our old friendship for so many years. Lao Li also snorted angrily.

The quarrel between the two old men did not affect the pursuit of "children's literature" by others. At this moment, several people came to buy.

"Has the magazine been revised? The cover is so gorgeous, much better than the old earthy cover. A young mother said.

"The quality of the paper is also much better, and it's all changed to color pages. "A dad commented on the material.

"It's just that the price is a lot more expensive. It used to be six pieces a copy, but now it's nine. It's a full third more expensive. If it weren't for the fact that my good grandson had to see some Shuke Beta, I wouldn't have bought it. "One grandmother has her eye on the price.

"Huh, what do you read on the cover?" said a little girl in surprise with the magazine she had just bought.

"Seven Nights' latest masterpiece "Seven Nights Fairy Tale Thumbelina". Why isn't it "Shuke and Beta"? Wasn't the previous cover recommendation works all Shuk Beta? How did it become Thumbelina? When the little friend heard this, he looked at the cover of the book in his hand and made the same puzzled sound.

"yes, yes, could it be a mistake. Isn't Seven Nights writing "Shuck and Beta"? Why did another "Thumbelina" come out? Suddenly thinking of a possibility, the little girl cried out in a lost voice: "This issue can't be without Shukbeta, right?"

"Oh? no. Take a look, take a look. The little girl was also taken aback, and quickly flipped through the magazine in her hand.

"Stupid, look at the catalog. ”

"Oh. ”

Soon: "Look and see, "Shuk and Beta", "Shuck and Beta", "Shuck and Beta", "Shuck and Beta". ”

The little girl and her little friend found what they wanted, and jumped and jumped with joy. But the two weren't the first to notice the change.

Today's "Children's Literature" is no longer the outdated magazine it used to be. Even if the sales of the last issue were surpassed by "Children's Literature and Art", the sales volume has reached a new high of more than 500,000 copies. It is still one of the most high-profile in the entire industry. Its every move has been followed by the circle.

It's no secret that magazines are revised. From the day the decision was made, they took the initiative to send signals to the outside world to test the market's reaction. And the first to react is always the competitors.

They collect information from all over the world, analyze it, and then present it to decision-makers for use by decision-makers. In addition to the magazine itself, various news about the Seven Nights is also a top priority for their collection.

In the eyes of outsiders, "Children's Literature and Art" suppressed Seven Nights with a little effort. But to the insider, it's quite different. As the saying goes, it's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening. When there is no opponent, they can't fully see the talent of Nanayas. Now the three great gods in the fairy tale world can't suppress him at the same time, but let more people see his extraordinary.

So those competitors not only did not underestimate Qiye, but because of it, they thought more highly of him. They have sent a capable team to find out the specific information of Qiye.

The cover recommendation of the first issue of the new edition of the magazine was not "Shuke and Beta" of "Children's Literature", which was based on the Great Wall, and they noticed such a big thing at the first time.

Since the two little mice came out, they have been acting as cover models for Children's Literature magazine. Of course, the character design was provided by Zhu Ziqing. And he naturally borrowed the setting of the cartoon in his previous life.

But the new edition of "Children's Literature" cover recommendation works have changed. used to be the big five characters of "Shuke and Beta", but now it has become "the thumbelina of the fairy tale of the seven nights".

There is one more small detail here. In general, the most conspicuous thing about posters, covers, etc., is the name of the work. As for the author's name, it's just a small one, and it can't be smaller.

In the past, the cover of "Children's Literature" was like this, "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta" occupied most of the space, and the author's name of the author Seven Nights was in small print, and you couldn't see it unless you looked closely.

And now, the most eye-catching place on the cover of the new edition of the magazine is actually printed with the words "Seven Nights' Latest Masterpiece". The small print underneath it is the name of the work.

Anyone in the know knows who is the recommended subject. The name of the book is big, it is the book that is pushed, and the author is an unknown person. The author's name is big, and what is sold is the author's fame. Only very famous authors can enjoy such treatment.

And now, Zhu Ziqing has achieved this achievement with only one novel that is still being serialized. I don't know how many authors who are still struggling to survive will be envious, jealous and hateful.

This emotion is only fleeting. Competitors know that such treatment is normal for an author who can push an unpopular magazine to this position. They focus on what's behind the string of words under the name.

"Seven Nights Fairy Tale? It's not Shuke and Beta, is this the foundation of children's literature?"

As the biggest competitor, Mao Wensu got the latest issue of "Children's Literature" as soon as possible, and the moment he saw the name on the cover, he had such an idea.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, and "Children's Literature and Art" invited three gods in the fairy tale world. "Children's Literature" is naturally not tied down, and finding more resources is the only way.

As you can tell from the title of the book, this work is still from the hand of Seven Nights. This question also bothered them, wasn't Seven Nights writing about Shuck and Beta, how could he have the time to open a new book, could he write it, and ......

"The Seven Nights Fairy Tale shows that this is a collection of stories, and Thumbelina is just one of the stories. ”

"Now the focus is on what kind of story this 'Thumbelina' is. Will it be the second "Shuck and Beta". ”

"I suspect it's a bad move to deal with a competitor's attack. Seven nights rushed to deal with it, it is doubtful that it can write a good story. ”

Fortunately, the book was in hand, and this question was quickly answered, after all, as soon as you open the book, the first story is it. After reading the story, everyone fell silent.

It's not the second Shuck and Beta, it's what it is. A brand new story that definitely won't be worse than Shuck and Beta.

They already overestimate Seven Nights' storytelling abilities. But after reading this brand new story, they realized that Seven Nights' attainments in fairy tales were far beyond their imagination.

As for the troika of children's literature and art, compared with him, their works are really just 'fairy tales'.

"No matter what method you use, you must find this Seven Nights. "How many people received a similar order on the same day.

If it's just a "Shuke and Beta", they can still deceive themselves into thinking that it was a clever trick. In the literary world, there are too many people who make a name for themselves with a novel and then disappear. No one dares to determine the future of this man named Seven Nights.

But after watching "Thumbelina", they finally know what kind of mistake they made. This Seven Nights is not only not a flash in the pan, but is likely to become an evergreen tree in the literary world.

If the follow-up story of "Seven Nights Fairy Tale" can be as wonderful as "Thumbelina"...... No, it doesn't need to be as wonderful as it is. As long as it's not much worse than it. This Seven Nights is a living master of fairy tales.

No matter in any industry, as long as you are named a master. He stands for more than just money. It's no wonder that those competitors are so crazy.
