In silence, the latest issue of "Children's Literature and Art" was released. It was indeed quiet, and a magazine that sold less than 50,000 copies was not paid attention to at all.

But its impact on the cultural world, or to be more precise, on the fairy tale world is far-reaching. In the future, when people talk about the fairy tale storm that affected the world, they will start from here.

However, because no one was aware of this at this time, and the periodical was printed in too small quantities, it was damaged several times and did not survive much. This issue of the journal has become a new favorite among collectors. The original price of nine dollars and eighty-one magazines was noisy to six figures.

But no one was aware of this at this time, and "Children's Literature and Art" did not have a prescient vision. Instead, 45,000 copies were printed in a step-by-step manner based on feedback from the previous issue.

In the previous life, Shuke and Beta were milestones in domestic animation and influenced several generations.

Shuk's helicopter.

Beta's tank car.

Throughout the childhood of every child in China. Children who have watched cartoons have not fantasized about becoming one of them, driving planes and tanks to explore the world.

When Shuck first climbed on the plane and shouted that I am Shuk, I am the pilot Shuk. The shock it brings to the children is irreplaceable by anything else.

A classic is a classic, and it has not denied its prestige in this world. The moment Shuke, the little mouse with lofty ideals, appeared on the scene, he was destined to be extraordinary.

"Mom, Shuk is so pitiful, why do you hate rats so much?" When Tutu listened to his mother tell the story of Shuk and Beta, he asked suspiciously.

Little did he know that at the same time he was asking the question, thousands of children across the country were asking the same question.

If Shuke, who has a 'superior' life, only makes the children feel that he is wronged, then the beta whose life can be called 'dire and miserable' inspires the sympathy of the children.

"Beta is so pitiful, Miri is so bad." It became the unanimous voice of the children.

Of course, there are also many children who like 'swords and swords' who care about how Beta can defeat the bad cats.

In the end, the children's voices turned into sales. The magazine, which was supposed to take fifteen days to sell, sold out in just one week. When the news reached the magazine, the editors were overjoyed.

Children's Literature is a very young magazine, less than five years after its founding. Because there are no big-name authors to press the formation, and there are not enough back-to-back scenes, it can be said that it is difficult. The results have already exhausted them. Even so, it is often not sold out until the last issue of the new issue is listed, and this kind of thing has never happened to be out of stock.

When the editor-in-chief Zhao Mingyuan got the news, he was so excited that he even knocked over the cup in his hand. didn't care about cleaning up, so he arranged for someone to investigate the cause of the matter. The end result is directed at one goal: Shuck and Beta. Soon, the entire magazine became aware of the findings. Then, the whole magazine was boiling.

Gold mines, big gold mines.

As editors, they often fantasize about digging up a gold mine and making the magazine soar. But when the dream really came true, they felt so unreal.

While others were still excited about this achievement, the atmosphere in the editor-in-chief Zhao Mingyuan's company was a little dull.

"Lao Zhao, you laughed all day long when your performance was tepid, but now that you have dug up the gold mine, why do you have a sad face. Now everyone is on the rise, and they have seen how much morale they have hit. The middle-aged man sitting opposite looked at the serious Zhao Mingyuan and smiled.

"I'm happy that my performance has improved. But Lao Wei, we are decision-makers and ordinary employees are different. They can simply be happy for the performance improvement, and we have to think about it more. The discovery of gold is a pleasure, but how to keep it is a big problem. Zhao Mingyuan soothed his tightly knit brows and said.

At first, he just thought that the story was not bad, and he signed a very ordinary contract. This contract is enough for the average newcomer. But who knew that this story was so popular. If this Seven Nights is really a gold mine, then the binding force of this contract is the same as not.

"It's just the beginning, and no one knows how much potential this story has to offer. It's too early to worry about this, right? Lao Wei said a little disappreciatively.

"It's because I don't know yet that I'm worried."

The best way to retain people is definitely to improve the salary. Doing this in advance before everyone realizes his potential will not only cost less, but also settle personal favors. Waiting for everyone to find out about him and then doing it is a simple transaction, and it costs more money.

But all this is based on his great potential, if his potential stops there. It all became a joke. This is equivalent to gambling, and winning does not necessarily mean that it takes all. But if you lose, you will lose a lot. This is also where Zhao Mingyuan hesitated.

Lao Wei Neng was relied on by Zhao Mingyuan, and he was specially called over to discuss such an important matter, and he was not a simple person. I quickly figured out the reasoning.

Put away the indifferent expression on his face, pondered for a while before saying, "Lao Zhao, I'll ask you two questions." ”

"You say."

"First, if everybody sees that he has a lot of potential, can we keep him? Second, you've seen some of the rest of the story. Are we going to win or lose this gamble? ”

After speaking, Lao Wei leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate. His meaning has been clearly expressed, and the rest depends on how Zhao Mingyuan chooses. It's useless to talk too much, but it will interfere with his decision-making.

As a partner for many years, how could Zhao Mingyuan not know what Lao Wei meant. It's not that he hasn't thought of this truth, and the reason why he can't make a decision for a long time is just that he feels unwilling.

The author who was discovered by the magazine was still condescending when he called a few days ago. I thought that the work was only serialized for one issue, and I had to run to the knot, this gap is too big.

But being able to run a magazine from scratch, Zhao Mingyuan is not the kind of person who is self-willed and can distinguish priorities. called Lao Wei over, first, to complain. The second is that he needs to come forward in this matter.

After all, I am the editor-in-chief, if I just go to find an author. Don't talk about losing face, how will you deal with him in the future. But if the people sent are not enough, they don't pay enough attention. Thinking about it, only his old partner, deputy editor-in-chief Wei Zhixing, is the most suitable candidate.

"Lao Wei, the matter of changing the contract will trouble you." Now that the decision has been made, Zhao Mingyuan no longer hesitates, and simply said.

"I knew what you came to me for, and I was ready for it. You wait and see. Old Wei laughed and said.

Changed his face and turned to Zhu Ziqing. Looking at the two mice on the cover of the magazine in his hand, Zhu Ziqing almost couldn't react.

The efficiency of "Children's Literature" is somewhat surprising. When he received a call from the editor-in-chief of the magazine, it was almost the middle of the month. In his mind, "Shuck and Beta" won't be available until the end of the month at the earliest. I didn't expect the serialization to officially start in the middle of the month.

"What is this? It can't be a magazine sample, right? Lin Baoer seemed to be very knowledgeable, and when she opened her mouth, she spit out an exclusive noun.

Zhu Ziqing didn't plan to hide it from her at all. Besides, she was one of the first people in the world to hear this story. Even the idea of choosing a magazine serialization instead of directly publishing a single book was all helped by others. You can't hide it if you want to.

"It should be." Zhu Ziqing put the magazine on the white palm stretched out in front of him and said.

"Children's Literature?" Seeing the name of the magazine, the girl's good-looking eyebrows jumped slightly, and said, "What an unfamiliar name." ”

The magazine has only been established for a little over four and a half years, and has sold just over 40,000 copies. Not even average. And the sales area is also limited to the south. We don't have any sales here, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it. ”

"Then there must be something different about this house from others, otherwise you wouldn't put a well-known magazine like "Children's Literature and Art" and don't vote for it, but vote for it."

"It's a long story......"

Speaking of submission, Zhu Ziqing's heart is full of slots. Originally, his plan was to submit articles directly to the largest magazines, including the industry's leading "Children's Literature and Art". But after reading their overbearing terms, I had to dispel this idea.

If nothing else, he would not agree to the fact that all the copyright belongs to the magazine. How could he not know how high the commercial value of "Shuck and Beta" was. He is not stupid, how could he give away a lot of benefits.

Deeply feeling that submitting is not a simple matter, Zhu Ziqing did not rush to make a decision. Instead, I went online to learn some tips on submission.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. In his opinion, there are so many tricks in such a simple matter of submission, which can be called a science. After careful study, he summed up a few understandings of his own.

The largest magazines have abundant resources, and submitting articles here can make a name for themselves as quickly as possible. Therefore, the terms of their treatment of newcomers are also the most unreasonable, almost stuck in the line of exploitation.

For newcomers, as long as they can become famous, a small loss is nothing at all. When he became famous, the treatment was naturally raised. Even if they don't mention it, they can go to another magazine.

The terms that others can accept are not good for Zhu Ziqing. "Shuck and Beta" is a long story, with a million-word length. Quality has also stood the test in previous lives. These overlord clauses took away almost all the copyright, leaving only a meager salary and authorship rights for the author, how could he possibly agree.

Of course, it doesn't mean that those magazines with loose terms are suitable for him. The performance of many magazines is tepid, and most of the members are lifeless, superficial, and have no enterprising spirit. It's better to submit to a place like this than to accept exploitation.

The most suitable for him is the kind of magazine that has average performance, but is full of energy and enterprising. After careful observation and comparison, he finally chose "Children's Literature and Art".

"Children's Literature and Art has only been published for four and a half years, and without any backlash, the performance has accumulated little by little from zero to the current 45,000 copies...... They are self-motivated, and I have excellent work...... The terms of the contract are reasonable...... To sum up, this publishing house is the best fit for my situation. ”

Zhu Ziqing gave a general account of his experience in submitting his manuscript, and then focused on explaining the reasons for choosing "Children's Literature".

Lin Bao'er listened to him quietly, without a trace of impatience. As he spoke, his big beautiful eyes lit up with a strange brilliance.
