Nowadays, if a classic work is produced, it will go through four stages.

A series of active publicity and advertising bombardment from the author to the reader have made people know that such a work has come out, and their curiosity has been aroused, but this is not enough. This work must stand up to reading, otherwise it will disappear as soon as the trend passes, and at this time, it needs to rely on the power of word-of-mouth, and there are many discussions and word of mouth. Then it successfully led to the next group of main forces - critics, commonly known as experts, quoted classics and classics, and excavated various connotations and ideologies of the works.

The most difficult is the accumulation stage, which varies from decades to hundreds of years, and there is no limit to time and space.

It is normal to be able to do the first two stages and sell millions of people.

Therefore, no author dares to say that his works will definitely become classics in the future, and not many people can afford to wait for decades.

Shen Zhe dared to say so.

Where did I see a joke in my life, only brain platinum is given as a gift, and "The Little Prince" is only given as a book.

The Little Prince was published in 1943, during World War II.

Fifty years later, the French government printed the image of the author, Saint-Exupéry, and the little prince, on new banknotes with a denomination of fifty francs.

In another 10 years, France celebrated the 60th birthday of "The Little Prince" and announced it to the world.

Translated at just over 25,000 words, this ultra-short story still sells millions of copies a year around the world sixty or seventy years later, and is voted the best book of the 20th century by readers. The second best-selling book of all time, after the King James Bible.

So it's a classic, it's a masterpiece.

Based on Shen Zhe's current experience, other masterpieces should be considered, and such a fairy tale masterpiece is more in line with the actual situation. Because his other identity is a famous fairy tale author. "Children's 365" serialized his works for more than half a year, which has been widely recognized by authorities and parents, and it is not obtrusive to create another fairy tale work.

But this is another fairy tale book dedicated to adults, and only adults can understand it.

"Adult" here has a pejorative connotation, referring to those who are empty, blind, foolish, rigid and dogmatic, lonely, and drifting with the crowd.

So it's not for everyone, except for two people.

One is a person who has completely lost his innocence, and the other is a person who is particularly disgusted with preaching to him.

The story is also very monotonous, and many people don't care at all after reading it, they only remember some classic sentences, and they can even recite them easily.

"All the adults were once children, although, only a few remember. ”

"The amount of time you spend on your roses is what makes your roses so important. ”

"If a person has a soft spot for a flower, and that flower is unique in the vast galaxy, then he will be satisfied just by looking up at the stars. ”

"It's also very lonely in the crowd. ”

"You know -- when a person is depressed, he will especially enjoy watching the sunset......"

And those young boys and girls who have just said goodbye to their childhood and are in love, including literary and artistic fans, are already vulnerable to psychological defense, and when they also read these words, the embankment burst in an instant, and the flood spread.

When you get someone: "You think you are the rose that tamed him, but in the end you find out that you are the fox who was tamed by him." ”

When you lose someone: "At least, I still have the color of a wheat field." ”

After going through some things, and then reading this well-structured short story, if you hide under the covers and cry secretly, don't be ashamed of many people.

Because it's a pillow book.

If you read it every five years, you will immediately notice that it has changed.

……

As a coming-of-age gift, there is no other choice than "The Little Prince".

It's just that the identity of the pilot is a little troublesome, this is one of the two lines in the article, and it can't be removed, Shen Zhe has been thinking about how to deal with it, thinking about it, and suddenly laughing. It was originally a fairy tale created in the voice of a child, so why bother to change it directly to "Last night I dreamed of a pilot, who crashed in the Sahara Desert due to a plane failure".

The opening chapter is written "dedicated to our childhood, and all children who do not want to grow up", and signed: Shen Zhe Lin Yuhan

Behind him, Lin Yuhan frowned and said, "Why are you writing my name?"

"There are some essential illustrations in it, you need to complete it, and you are also one of the authors, of course, you have to add it!"

In fact, Shen Zhe is a little selfish and playful.

Such a book destined to be popular in the world, in the name of two people, is equivalent to a big red seal, and it should be overflowing with childlike innocence.

The two of them spent a whole day in the study to announce the completion.

"A unique flower ...... in the galaxy"

"The real luxury is to be willing to spend time with you......"

Such a sentence is extremely lethal to a twenty-year-old girl like Lin Yuhan, and she murmurs in her mouth, and she doesn't know where she is. When finally the little prince disappeared, and began to have tears in his eyes.

"Ah Zhe, I've grown up!"

She has indeed grown up, and if she were a child, she would believe that the little prince had really returned to her own planet.

Shen Zhe was silent, his heart stirring.

He also has a special preference for fairy tales.

Deep down, everyone doesn't want to grow up and needs to be reminded.

……

Three days later, Shen Zhe called Zhongli: "Brother Zhong, there is a book that you need to arrange, and it has been sent to your mailbox." ”

At the beginning of the busy year, the magazine received appointment letters from seven or eight booksellers in a row, and the bright-eyed businessmen all took a fancy to the agency of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", when Zhongli was discussing the matter with a middle-aged man in the south. After receiving Shen Zhe's call, he immediately apologized to the other party and hurriedly returned to the editor-in-chief's office.

He had never seen Shen Zhe arrange something so solemnly.

Half an hour later, I called back with excitement: "I need to prepare, do you have time to ask?"

Shen Zhe was stunned: "Oh, in 2002?"

"That's good, rest assured, it is estimated that this is the most colorful stroke on my publishing resume, let me sum up ......" turned off the phone, Zhongli thought about it and dialed another number: "Lao Wei, we have received a manuscript that is destined to cause a sensation all over the world!"

Naturally, these words were slightly frivolous and unstable, which did not match his position as editor-in-chief and his consistent image, so Lao Wei was very surprised, and immediately put down the matter at hand and rushed over.

After looking at it suspiciously, Lao Wei sighed: "I have nothing to say, and I can't praise." ”

……

"Are you still moved by Shen Jiayi? Are you still blocked by Ke Jingteng's heart? What about the unforgettable light dancing and flying and the male ruffian Cai? All this no longer needs to sigh for a long time, after the Lantern Festival, on the sixteenth day of the first month, Shen Zhe, the head of youth literature, made up all the regrets for everyone, and the hardcover version of the youth trilogy was simultaneously shocked and listed nationwide!"

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the cover of the first issue of Oriental 2002 was directly hung with an advertisement.

The love trilogy proposed by Shen Zhe was rejected by Su Wei, editor-in-chief of the youth column, without hesitation, and was set as a youth trilogy with a wider coverage.

"Cheesy!"

Marine Culture Zhonghai Branch, Director Li's face twitched.

Manager Han, who was sitting at the top, shook his head slightly, flipped through the magazine in front of him, and said, "Sitting in that position, where is it not cheesy?"

The words were not heavy, but they made Director Li's face hot.

When Zhongli set up his own door, he also had the mentality of watching the excitement, thinking that the newly established magazine would not survive for long. Because this situation is often seen in the group, even with the support of large companies behind it, the survival rate of the new magazine is less than half.

Unexpectedly, only half a year later, a large number of martial arts fans simply pushed them to the status of top medium-sized magazines.

Coupled with the cooperation with Bowen Bookstore, there is nothing to be done.

In the final analysis, the cultural publishing industry is still the most powerful to speak with works.

"Now you should know more about the role of a top author, and of course I don't blame you, I made a mistake in the first place. Manager Han pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that they will make efforts in youth this year, and they will have to pay some to retain our authors, which is the impact." ”

Director Li suddenly said: "The priority adaptation right of "Those Years" is still in our hands. ”

Manager Han shook his head: "It's useless, the author himself is not under our control, and we pay a greater price when the news spreads, and I haven't heard of anyone looking for them to buy it, because Oriental Culture has been established for a short time." STV has the intention of adapting "White Hair" into a movie, but there is no publicity action, and it is estimated that there is a greater possibility of hoarding ideas. ”

Director Li wanted to speak and stopped, in fact, he had watched "White Hair" and thought it was more appropriate to adapt the TV series.

It is the business scope of HTV where he and Manager Han are located.

"We buy at a premium. ”

Director Li asked softly: "Will they sell "Those Years"? Aren't they waiting for bidding?"

Manager Han said with a smile: "Xiao Zhong has worked under me for seven or eight years, I know him very well, and I have such an author in my hand, and I will not be willing to just make magazines." ”

……

"When did the magazine become a counterfeit drug?"

Shen Zhe got the sample magazine and stared at the advertising words on the cover for a long time, crying and laughing.

The sample magazine was brought back by Lin Yuanzhi after work, and he said with a smile: "This is set by Editor-in-Chief Zhong, and I don't look right." ”

Shen Zhe said helplessly: "Actually, just tell me." ”

"You're confident?"

Shen Zhe said: "Uncle Lin, it's not that I'm confident, I will naturally buy it if I like it, if I don't buy it now, I will buy it in the future." ”

"It's like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?"

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and the first two parts of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have seen more than 10 million, and the debate between the high and low reader groups has not stopped. On the other hand, pushing the sales data to an unpredictable height, the famous book dare not say, the classic is undoubted. And unexpectedly recognized by education experts, the magazine just received a request for authorization from a scholar in the south a few days ago, preparing to make errata and annotations to this book, and then apply to add it to the must-read series for teenagers.

Shen Zhe agreed, and the scholar was not an accusation, but an acknowledgment of the work.

The work has been voluntarily corrected by experts, which is an honor in itself.

"Martial arts, what are you going to do?"

Shen Zhe thought about it and said, "Uncle Lin, there are still three issues of "Seven Swords", plus "Sea of Clouds", half a year without worry, let me think about it then?"

Lin Yuanzhi nodded and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart." ”

……

A few days after the Lantern Festival, when Shen Zhe returned to campus again, the long-dormant group of pure love book fans became active again.

"Poof, the title of this book is so yellow!"

"Shen Da finally released a new work, which caused me to be short of books for a long time. ”

"The deceptive title of the book, the content of the innocent mess, is healthier than all the pure love novels on the market. ”

"The three emotions of campus, the Internet, and the city, no wonder they are called the youth trilogy, do you see anything from them?"

"You mean ......"

"Shen Dafeng pen, at least in the short term, will not write similar works again, the above is purely personal speculation. ”

"Ah......h

After "Those Years" came out, a large number of youth literature focusing on pure love suddenly appeared in China, and Shen Zhe had read several very good ones. However, just like eating roast duck, even if it is made in a certain place with the same taste as Yanjing, it always feels inauthentic, and people still want to go to Yanjing to taste it in person. Heavy pure love readers have been paying attention to the news of Shen Zhe's new book, but unfortunately they have not waited, until now, Oriental Culture has launched this - "The Ultimate Edition of Youth Trilogy", even the unpublished "First Close Contact" is also included, out of print? This must be bought and collected.

The same situation also happened in the martial arts industry, "Jianghu" worked hard to promote, but still could not reach the circulation of "Dongfang".

Shen Zhe has the natural advantage of opening a sect master.

……

It has been half a month since the start of Ziwei High School, and the Chinese language teacher Versace is still leading this key class.

Although he has just entered this school for more than a year, he has been unanimously recognized by the teachers, students and parents of the whole school.

When I was in class today, I noticed that there was something unusual in the classroom.

A few particularly outstanding students did not listen carefully, but lowered their heads to read something, extracurricular books?

This is rarely the case in key classes.

Versace walked briskly off the podium and, without surprise, pulled a pamphlet from under the arm of a boy.

Close a look at the cover - "The Legend of Wukong"

Versace frowned and said: "Your seniors don't have the habit of reading extracurricular books at this time, put them in my office first, and go to get them after the college entrance examination." ”

The boy said weakly: "This was written by the senior!"

Versace stopped and took a closer look, isn't it, the author's name is Shen Zhe.

I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart.

After class, I took out my mobile phone and immediately looked for Shen Zhe's number, which I got last time I went to Yanjing to talk about the essay collection.

"Shen Zhe, you left the entrance examination, why did you still come to harm the junior?"

The second monk Shen Zhezhang was puzzled: "Teacher Fan, how did you say this, who am I harming?"

"Forget it, it's fine. Versace thought about it, Shen Zhe is not to blame for this, it is normal for students to read extracurricular books in class, but it was rare to see them in key classes before, and he reacted a little bigger. Speaking of another thing: "Why don't you come to school during the holidays?"

Shen Zhe: "Teacher Fan, there are a lot of things to do during the New Year." ”

"Well, I'm going to come and see it during the summer vacation, and the principal has been talking about you. ”

Old man?

Shen Zhe promised in his mouth, and thought of going elsewhere.

Last year, Versace collected his essay collection and published it through Zhongli, which is very simple, but the royalty calculation is not so easy to say.

How much does Shen Zhe occupy?

How much does Versace occupy?

Because the sorting and revision were all done by Versace, and he is also one of the authors, he can't just leave it aside, and it is estimated that the money is still millions.

After a phone call, the brain was donated to the school.

It just so happened that Shen Zhe had donated money to Yan University, and it was natural to donate to his high school alma mater again.

However, Shen Zhe casually pointed out that the money was best used in the stadium, and he graduated from this high school, of course, it was clear. In addition to teaching buildings, office buildings, and stadiums, the high school campus does not need any other facilities, and the stadium of Ziwei High School is the worst, and it is the most suitable for use.

The school attaches great importance to this matter, especially the principal Ren is very proud.

personally organized a promotion group, hyped it up in the name of Shen Zhe, and almost distributed it as a textbook in this school.

It was no accident that Versace confiscated "The Legend of Wukong" in class.

In less than a month, this booklet has been spread from Zhonghai City to all parts of the country, on campuses, workplaces, and even on construction sites.

Born in the world, you may have already arranged your fate, and there are few who can do everything well.

"The Legend of Wukong" is full of heartfelt voices.

……

- Don't die, and don't live alone.

It turns out that things like this that the gods can't control have a name, and they're called demons.

-- If God is not greedy, why can't he tolerate a little disrespect for him? God is not evil, so why does he hold the fate of tens of millions of living beings on the earth in his hands?

- Although I am a pig, I, no, let, you, slaughter!

These chest-bursting sentences can instantly penetrate the hearts of mediocrity, hypocrisy, rebelliousness, and rebellion. In the eyes of some authors, this is another subversive work of Shen Zhe. The subversion of "Journey to the West", the subversion of ideas. It is not difficult to find that in a short story of 50,000 words, there are three strong emotions that everyone yearns for.

Freedom -

If the heavens crush me, if the heavens split the heavens, if the earth detains me and crushes the earth, I am born free, who dares to be high!

"Does it have some strong symbolic meaning?"

"Officials?"

"No, it's too narrow, it should symbolize everything that oppresses on our heads. ”

Simple-

Why can't goldfish fall in love with monks?

Why can't a pig like Chang'e?

Rebellion -

The posture was illuminated by electric light, and after being frozen for thousands of years, he still resisted to the end, and there were only two words that he was not convinced!

The Buddha is in his heart, what do you say it does? It's better to fart!

"Wear it and you're free!"

Who is free? Freedom is not the freedom of monkeys.

"Remember that you are a monkey, so you don't have to learn to be a god, your nature is nobler than all the gods. ”

It turns out that the Monkey King, who has great powers, is also a weak and powerless little person.

……

In the first month of the new year, Shen Zhe went public through four works of oriental culture, either republished or debuted, with a length of more than 100,000 words and a short length of only tens of thousands of words.

Set off a New Year's storm in the youth literature market.

The four works have different styles and have the potential to catch young readers.

In fact, the first month, which was called Shen's storm by book lovers, later looked more like a warm-up.

At the beginning of this year, the development of Oriental magazine seemed to have hit a bottleneck, and the circulation of three consecutive issues was around 6.5 million, stagnating.

Shen Zhe has once again entered a busy and quiet university life.

The company was completely entrusted to Zhongli to worry about, and the young editor-in-chief was also hung up with the title of president of Oriental Culture, arranged the relevant matters of the magazine, and quietly flew to Los Angeles at the end of the first month with a letter of introduction from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
