"What, is there really a ready-made one?"

Zhao Yiming's answer surprised Lu Zecheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Zhao Yiming explained to him that he would not give up the creation of fairy tales. Lu Zecheng also believed it. But when he asked, he didn't expect Zhao Yiming to answer him immediately.

The reason is simple, Zhao Yiming finished writing a 150,000-word novel in August. And he admits that there are new novels in the pipeline.

Human energy is always limited.

In more than a month, Zhao Yiming wrote two novels in a row. The first part has 150,000 words, and although the second part is not known yet, there should be more than 100,000 words. Novels of hundreds of thousands of words are not for fun, they must have taken up a lot of Zhao Yiming's time and energy.

Lu Zecheng felt that although Zhao Yiming did not give up the fairy tale, it was certain that he would ignore it for more than a month.

This is not his speculation, he has evidence. The quality of the short fairy tales given by Zhao Yiming in August has dropped a lot compared with that in July, which is the best evidence.

Because writing novels distracts energy, the level of fairy tales is lowered.

Lu Zecheng made up for it, and everything made sense.

But now that Zhao Yiming's answer has challenged his self-justification, how can he not be surprised.

Of course, the human mind is very active, and the focus can jump from one thing to another at any time. It's not that there is a curse saying that "you get as far as your thoughts go". Although this sentence is scolding, it also illustrates the speed of human thinking from the side.

Lu Zecheng's surprise quickly turned into surprise.

He hurriedly asked: "A fairy tale related to lies?" Zhao Yiming, to what extent have you conceived this fairy tale? When are you going to write? How many words is planned? ”

A series of questions were all directed at Zhao Yiming.

Not only him, but everyone else—Mingxiao, who had been quietly acting as an observer; There are also Zhao Yatong and Lu Ping, who pretend to whisper, but have been paying attention to Zhao Yiming's conversation with Lu Zecheng.

Their eyes were focused on Zhao Yiming. Clearly, they are also interested in the answers to these questions.

I saw that everyone was very interested. Zhao Yiming also came to the spirit, planning to talk about the fairy tale he chose with great difficulty.

After Lu Zecheng explained his intentions, Zhao Yiming decided to pull "Fairy Tale Kingdom". On the surface, he was still talking to Lu Zecheng, but in fact, he had already begun to look for a suitable fairy tale in his mind.

Choosing a suitable fairy tale is not easy.

In his mind, there are many fairy tales that can help "Fairy Tale Kingdom" get the first place, but many Zhao Yiming are reluctant to take them out. For example, excellent and classic short stories, after thinking about it again and again, he was reluctant to give one of them.

can make Zhao Yiming willing to present those classics in another time and space. Under normal circumstances, there is only money and beautiful women. Uh, no, it's career and love.

As for the honor of "Fairy Tale Kingdom", who cares but themselves?

Since the short story is reluctant, then you can only play those long ideas.

FIRST PASS OUT THE MOST FAMOUS LONG FAIRY TALES. When he was selected, Lu Zecheng chatted with Zhao Yiming about the lies that came out of nothing in their magazine.

This gave Zhao Yiming a lot of inspiration, and immediately reminded him of a classic image.

"He is a flamboyant boy, lacking self-restraint, curious about everything, intelligent, and playful; He is a cute little puppet that has been brought to life by magic; Whenever he lied, his nose kept getting longer. ”

Zhao Yiming smiled and described the protagonist of his fairy tale to the audience.

"His name is Pinocchio."

There is no doubt that Zhao Yiming's description of the protagonist of the fairy tale made Lu Zecheng very interested.

However, he didn't have time to express his curiosity. Zhao Yatong, who had been paying attention, couldn't help it, and asked anxiously: "Obviously, what kind of story are you, tell it quickly." ”

Obviously, she represented the minds of everyone else, because the others, including his mother Mingxiao, looked at him with curiosity and eagerness, urging him not to sell it, and to quickly tell everyone what kind of story he had conceived.

In this case, Zhao Yiming must of course conform to public opinion.

"Here's the outline of my story. An old puppeteer carved a piece of crying and laughing wood into a small puppet, and he named him Pinocchio. Pinocchio longs to be a living boy. In order to fulfill this wish, he sought out the kind fairy. The fairy agreed to his request, but with a condition: Pinocchio had to learn to be honest, brave, and not selfish. At the same time, as punishment, whenever he lied, his nose kept getting longer. ”

"At first, I didn't realize that good quality is important. As he passes the tests of courage, faithfulness, and honesty, his nose often grows longer and longer, and trouble ensues! And after hardships and adventures, Pinocchio finally grew up, he became honest, hardworking, kind, and became a real boy. ”

"In short, I want to go through Pinocchio's series of descriptions full of childlike adventures. to make a point: a child may be headstrong, mischievous, lazy, a liar, not interested in learning, and only thinking about playing all day. But it's just out of their nature. As long as they are properly educated, many of the shortcomings that they show because of their natural nature will be corrected. ”

Zhao Yiming finished the outline of the fairy tale in one breath, although it did not involve specific content, but it was enough to satisfy the audience. Whether it is Lu Zecheng or Ming Xiao, Zhao Yatong or Lu Ping. They are all very satisfied with the content and idea of Zhao Yiming's fairy tale.

"It's definitely going to be a good fairy tale." Lu Zecheng said excitedly.

Zhao Yiming only smiled secretly in his heart.

Originally, this good fairy tale was nothing more than written by the author Collody in order to repay the money. In fact, the original author didn't think his fairy tales were good fairy tales at all, but he said in his letter to the fairy tale magazine: The fairy tales I sent were just childish and ridiculous gadgets. Feel free to do whatever you want, and I'll keep writing if you want to adopt it.

For the birth of this fairy tale, Zhao Yiming would like to thank the author Collodi, but also the adopters and readers. Thanks to the adopter it was the adopter who let Collody continue to write, and thanks to the readers, it was Collody who wanted to pick a child to stop the serialization halfway through writing, and was boycotted by a large number of "dissatisfied" letters from readers.

"Yiming, do you have any writing plans for this fairy tale? When will it be completed? In the excitement, Lu Zecheng didn't notice that his address to Zhao Yiming had changed and became intimate.

He couldn't wait to read the fairy tale.

"Editor-in-Chief Lu, I plan to write about 100,000 words of this fairy tale. It is planned to take two months. ”

It will be published in our "Fairy Tale Kingdom" in two months!

Lu Zecheng was first overjoyed when he heard Zhao Yiming's 100,000-word writing plan, but he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard that it took two months. However, he can't say anything, and this speed is okay among fairy tale writers.

At the same time, he also realized that two months later. In accordance with his own promise, Zhao Yiming's collection of fairy tales was also published. Zhao Yiming is stuck in time, and the book is published before a new fairy tale is published.

"Yiming, your new fairy tale won't be published until November. So what should we do in September and October in "Fairy Tale Kingdom"? ”

Lu Zecheng was unwilling to think about it, so he raised another question.

Okay, are you relying on me?

Zhao Yiming was speechless.

Lao Lu, are you the editor-in-chief of "Fairy Tale Kingdom", or am I the editor-in-chief of "Fairy Tale Kingdom"? You should figure it out for yourself. Is your solution just to find a way to find me?

Although I complained so much in my heart, I decided to help them. It's better to save people and save them to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. Zhao Yiming still gave Lu Zecheng an idea.

Before Zhao Yiming's rebirth, there was a wise saying in the online literature world - renewal is the king.

Although Zhao Yiming thinks that quality is the most important. But this sentence also shows from the other side that a work wants to be popular, updated frequently, and updating more is also an important factor.

Zhao Yiming's suggestion to Lu Zecheng was to compress "Shuke Beta", which was originally planned to be serialized in four months, to be published within two months. Although I don't dare to pack tickets, I will definitely be able to guarantee the sales of "Fairy Tale Kingdom". But it certainly plays a role.

Of course, if it didn't work, Zhao Yiming wouldn't have any other ideas. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese dollars in exchange for a long fairy tale, he already felt a bit of a loss. You can't catch anything more.

After Lu Zecheng adopted his suggestion, although the sales of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" in September and October were directly caught up by "Fairy Tale King", the difference in sales between the two was only 3,000 copies at least. But it finally maintained its position as the number one in the country.

The new fairy tale has also been decided, and the idea has been obtained.

Lu Zecheng, who was satisfied, stood up, and he planned to go back. A new agreement was reached with Zhao Yiming, and he had to go back and start work on the publication immediately. Publishing a book in two months is a tight timeline.

Seeing him say goodbye, Ming Xiao first politely retained. But it soon turned out that people are really like arrows. And this time, Lu Zecheng didn't take Lu Ping's leave like last time, but took her back to Jinling directly. There are some things that need Lu Ping's help, and of course he can't keep her.

Since you insist on leaving, of course you can't stay. Zhao Yiming's family naturally sent each other warmly.

It's just that before going out, Lu Zecheng suddenly remembered something.

So, he asked, "By the way, Yiming, what's the name of this fairy tale of yours." ”

Zhao Yiming was stunned for a moment, and discussed for a long time, as if he really hadn't told anyone his name.

So, he laughed: "I named this fairy tale 'Pinocchio.' 》”
