Chapter 22: Harry Potter II
After Liu Yihe finished speaking, all the people present laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Yihe's most hated Westernized literary works are known to the entire editorial department.
Li Feiyang's magic novel, which is obviously set in the West, will definitely not be well received by him.
Everyone is mentally prepared for this.
Huang Heliu said with a smile: "Even Lao Liu said that this work is good, it seems to be really good." ā
"What do you think?"
Wan Guocheng, the person in charge of publishing, said: "I think the writing is good, it is very engaging, and the children should also like it, the key is that it is effortless to watch, and there is no complicated setting." I feel that it is a long story that is very suitable for our publication. ā
The high-ranking master of Wanguo City is thin, wears severely myopic eyes, and has a nerdy atmosphere.
But his vision is very clever, and whether a work is good or bad, whether it can attract the attention of children's readers, he can basically draw conclusions after reading it once.
After Wan Guo Cheng finished speaking, the rest of the people expressed their opinions one after another.
"This book is good, and it deserves to be serialized."
"It's just a cursory look at it, and I feel very attractive, and I want to read it well, and the kids will definitely like it."
"It looks good to support serial publishing."
There are not only those who support the novel, but also those who oppose it.
A chubby old man objected: "A children's work with a Western background, are you sure that today's children will like it?" Do they see it? I still don't understand what the hell is written here. ā
Huang He Liu said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, you don't know much about Western literature, if you haven't read this style of writing and Western legends, you will indeed be very uncomfortable, but if you read it slowly, you will find the advantages and disadvantages." This novel is still well written. I support the publication of serialization in our "Children's Literature and Art" department. ā
Lao Zhu's name is Zhu Aiguo, an old man who is about to retire, he is a Xiucai background, he studied the Four Books and Five Classics, "Analects" and "Spring and Autumn", after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a primary school teacher, and later the editorial department lacked people, because of his deep literary and historical skills, he was transferred to the Yellow River Literature and Art as an editor.
Zhu Aiguo hates Western literary works more than Liu Yihe, Liu Yihe simply doesn't like it, but the quality of the works can still be clarified.
Zhu Aiguo is a work with a Western background, but he doesn't like it uniformly.
Even some of the Western masterpieces that have been translated now, when everyone thinks they are well written, they are not bullshit criticized by him.
This old man despised Western literature from the bottom of his heart.
He believes that a concise article is a good article. What can be expressed in one word can never be expressed in two words.
Western literature, on the other hand, focuses on the depiction of details, which is extremely inconsistent with his philosophy. Therefore, in his eyes, any Western masterpieces, classic masterpieces, are bullshit.
Moreover, Zhu Aiguo is still a type of person who resolutely opposes vernacular Chinese and simplified Chinese characters.
In short, this old man is a staunch supporter of traditional culture and a staunch opponent of modern literature.
His philosophy is that popular works can be written in the vernacular, and it is necessary for children's literature to be written in the vernacular, otherwise children will have a hard time watching, but serious works, especially the writing of orthodox literature, can only be written in classical Chinese, or at the very least, in ancient vernacular, so that they can see their skills.
The basis for the appreciation of literary works by ancient literati is: simplicity is the most beautiful!
Zhu Aiguo saw that the opposition was ineffective, so he didn't say more, and he said a lot about this kind of opposition, and he was ignored many times, and he was used to it. But when he should say it, he will tell it truthfully, whatever he thinks in his heart, he will say whatever he wants, his superiors will not adopt his opinion, and he will not be angry, he is a very simple traditional literati.
After discussing for a while, Huang Heliu decided: "Then let's serialize it in our children's literature and art!" This is also a fairy tale work, and it does not involve any sensitive words and sentences, and the review is easy to pass, if the response is really good, our unit can also have a little more income. ā
Liu Yihe said: "When it comes to income, I admire Li Feiyang very much, since his works were published in us, the circulation of our journal has increased significantly. Our income is indeed much better than before. In this regard, Li Feiyang has made great contributions, stronger than the entire editorial department combined. The appeal of his work is very strong. ā
Huang Heliu said with a smile: "Feiyang, it is the guarantee of the circulation of our children's literature!" This can be regarded as our god of wealth, hahaha. ā
Everyone laughed.
Since the country began to reform and develop, the life of the state-owned units has not been a little easy, and the salary is linked to the performance, and everyone is a little uncomfortable.
From the reform to the present, the Yellow River literary and artistic business is a bit bleak, and the wages and benefits are not very good.
The state-owned units, which are also large literary publishing houses, will definitely not go out of business, but the Qingshui Yamen has little oil and water. If you have a good writing, you can publish your work in your own journal, and you can live a good life with some manuscript fees.
However, for some pure editors, people who have an appreciation but no creative energy, it is a bit of a difficult life to support their families on their salaries alone.
The turning point was when Li Feiyang began to submit, and since Li Feiyang began to submit, the circulation of the journals of the Yellow River Literature and Art Children's Literature Department began to increase, and the sales volume skyrocketed. The efficiency of the unit is getting better day by day. Everyone's life is indeed much better than before, and everyone has to be cautious about this point.
A few days later, the Yellow River Literature and Art Department, the Children's Literature Department, began serializing the magical novel "Harry Potter" with a Western background.
After the serialization, Huanghe Literature and Art sent someone to conduct market research and found that readers had a mediocre response to the appearance of "Harry Potter", with mixed reviews.
Some like it, some don't like it, some think it's okay to watch, and some can't stand it at all.
But the kids loved it.
This kind of long-form fairy tale fantasy novel is an unprecedented work in the Han Kingdom for thousands of years, and it is very attractive for some children who have a high desire for knowledge and like words.
In this era, there are few literary works, and even fewer children's literature, except for professional children's periodicals, it is very difficult for children to find books that interest them.
Therefore, if you want to read children's literature, there are two options, one is to buy a collection of fairy tales, and the other is to subscribe to a children's weekly.
But now in the Great Han Kingdom, the collection of fairy tales is an old-fashioned work, and new stories can only be found in publications.
However, there are only one or two well-known children's weekly magazines in the entire Han Dynasty, and the best one today is the Yellow River Literature and Art Publication.
This has led to the fact that today's children in the Han Kingdom, whether they like "Harry Potter or not", but when they have no books to read, they can only read the fairy tale weekly of the Yellow River Literature and Art.
For some people who don't like long-form fairy tales with Western backgrounds, Huang He Literature and Art's practice of making "Harry Potter" a quarter of the entire journal is quite a bit of a bundle.
However, not liking "Harry Potter" does not mean that he does not like Li Feiyang's other works.
After all, the Yellow River literature and art is not only "Harry Potter", but also the comic series "Bugs Bunny", and the short story serialized "One Thousand and One Nights", these are all very interesting works, and adults sometimes love to watch them.
These are all Li Feiyang's works.
Due to the continuous increase in the number of works and the continuous launch of high-quality stories, Li Feiyang has already had a celebrity effect.
He is now a very talented and famous fairy tale king in a literati family with children and a wealthy family.
Children love his work, although this "Harry Potter" is a bit subversive of cognitive common sense, but if you continue to read it, you will find that it is very well written. Slowly, I liked it.
The first batch of Harry Potter fans began to appear, and then drove the second batch and recommended the third batch, "Harry Potter" began to become popular in a small family in a big city!
But in the entire Han Kingdom, only a few people know about this work after all. The vast number of rural people, who would be idle to subscribe to a children's weekly? Subscribing to a newspaper is a luxury.
Just like Li Feiyang's previous life, the first time Li Feiyang read a martial arts novel, he read some garbage martial arts written by some miscellaneous fish, but at that time he felt that the writing was extremely exciting. Later, I began to come into contact with some works that were really considered martial arts, because I was young at the time, my reading level was low, and I couldn't compare the one that was well written and the one that was not well written.
It wasn't until later, when I got older and read more, that I had my own evaluation of the quality of a work.
Only then did I begin to know that there were Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and these real martial arts novels, and I began to selectively read the works of these famous artists.
During the period of reading the works of several famous artists, he would also read some martial arts novels written by other miscellaneous fish, until finally, with the improvement of his reading level, he couldn't stand the works written by those people, so he gave up the act of "excavating" "watchable martial arts novels".
The quality of a work must be highlighted under the comparison of similar works and the impact of the long river of time.
The waves wash the sand, and the rest is gold.
For "Harry Potter", this work, Li Feiyang is really not sure if it can shine in its previous life in today's Han Kingdom.
This can only be concluded after a period of time, and how everyone reacts.
However, with the launch of a series of fairy tales, Li Feiyang inevitably stood in front of the public and was called a well-known figure.
Although many people still can't associate this Li Feiyang, who writes fairy tales, with Li Feiyang, who published "The Biography of Mr. Almost" in "Youth Literature", this is because of the lack of information in the current society.
"The well-known fairy tale genius writer Li Feiyang", this is what everyone calls him.
