The original text of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has a total of twelve chapters, except for the first two chapters with three or four thousand words, and the following chapters have only one thousand or three hundred words per chapter, and the total is only 20,000 words.

It can be said that this is just a small novella.

In Su Wen's hands, the number of words is a little more, the dialogue or environmental description is more straightforward, and many British slang and colloquialisms in the original text have been transformed by him, and the relative content is longer.

However, the length is limited, just a few thousand words more, no matter how you count it, there are no 10,000 words, so the story of more than 20,000 words, he has not changed the number of chapters, it is still twelve chapters.

The Kyoto Life Newspaper was serialized at a rate of one chapter a day, and it was serialized in 12 days, which ended quickly compared to those medium-length fairy tales that often cost 100,000 words.

However, after all, it is the content of the same story, which is enough to stick to many readers.

No, after the Suwen version of "Little Silk in Wonderland" was serialized for three or four days, as the story unfolded, more and more readers joined the ranks of chasing more, and the sales of "Kyoto Life" rose every day, and a day or two before the end of Wonderland, Life Newspaper announced that their sales had broken through the historical record!

2,150,000 copies!

This is a new sales set by the Kyoto Life Newspaper, breaking their own record.

According to them, the most glorious time of the life newspaper was 20 years ago, when television was somewhat developed, but the supporting facilities for movies were not yet complete, let alone the current network communication channels -- in the era of poor entertainment, the only way people could receive information seemed to be through subscribing to newspapers and periodicals.

Twenty years ago, Kyoto Life had a sales record of 2.14 million, and since then it has been difficult to surpass, and its performance has been getting worse and worse over the years, falling from 210 to 200. from two hundred to one hundred nineteen, and then one hundred and eighteen......

In short, it is Wang Erxiao's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year!

However, in the past month or so, because of the creation of a fairy tale column for Su Wen, the sales after that have been rising like sesame seeds blooming.

First, it rose to two million copies. After that, it continued to rise until it reached 2.1 million, and then, breaking the record of 2.14 million, it rose directly to 2.15 million!

And looking at the situation now, there is still room for growth, and it is foreseeable that on the day of the finale of "Little Silk in Wonderland", sales should rise again!

This can be said to be the rhythm of one person's retribution!

The fact that a person has greatly increased the sales of a newspaper is the best proof of the popularity of a famous writer.

Su Wen finally entered the ranks of such famous writers with fairy tales.

Famous writers are not self-appointed. Even if powerful people help you tout, if you can't make a result, the mainstream people will still not recognize you.

It only took more than a month for Su Wen to help "Kyoto Life" increase the sales of about 300,000 copies, what does this mean?

Out of the interest, or the witness of strength!

It can be said that Su Wen alone is comparable to the sales of 300,000 newspapers, which may not be mentioned in front of many large newspapers. But in a small place, it can be regarded as a very large amount of energy.

What's more, it's just one person's popularity!

From this day on. Those writers in the literary world, especially those who are editors, can only look at Su Wen with admiration, and they can no longer be regarded as a young man.

This can be seen from those newspaper owners or editors who frequently contact Su Wen, and these people are angry with the **** luck of the life newspaper, and they have danced their hoes and waved at Su Wen. It means that you won't stop digging up the foot of the wall.

When the life newspaper heard the news, it was also too anxious, and Wang Shao, the editor-in-chief of the literary and art edition, was ordered by the boss to visit in person and promised Su Wen a lot of preferential conditions. You can even let Su Wen make his own conditions, as long as he can leave the article to the first issue of Life Daily.

After all, it is just a publication, and Su Wen doesn't expect them to give much benefit, but how much sales a writer can bring to the newspaper has always been linked to the final remuneration.

The status of writers is also linked to remuneration. In order to win over Su Wen, Life Newspaper naturally had to raise his manuscript fee, which could be regarded as a disguised increase in his status in the literary world. This position is market-proven and very solid, much more reliable than those who tout the writers.

When Life Daily first cooperated with Su Wen, it threw out the price of one yuan per word, no matter how many words you write, one dollar anyway.

This price is also generous in the literary world, and it is the treatment of well-known writers. With Su Wen's age and the time he has been active in the literary world, this price is enough to match his status, and it can even be said to be a high match. At that time, when this price was advertised, many writers said a lot of sour things!

These people may be able to get a lot of profit by publishing it, and it is not uncommon for a novel of 100,000 words to be paid millions of dollars, so it is a few tens of dollars per word.

However, newspapers and periodicals are different, even if they are the top such as Wang Tianming, his novels are serialized in newspapers, and it is impossible for any newspaper to pay millions of manuscript fees to obtain the serialization copyright of his novels.

How much is a newspaper, only one or two dollars at the top, millions of dollars spent, can you increase the sales of a newspaper by several millions?

If there is such a writer, it is not a man, it is a god!

Therefore, when it comes to newspapers and magazines, the remuneration given is more based on the status and popularity of the writer, and cannot coincide with the actual sales in the publishing market.

Top such as Wang Tianming, an article of two or three thousand words, the treatment that the newspaper can give is only one or two thousand, and the price of ten yuan per word is to support death.

Of course, it is impossible for Su Wen to be compared with Wang Tianming at this stage, and it is impossible for the life newspaper to give him the status of ten yuan per word, and after weighing, they gave Su Wen a price of 3,000 yuan for 1,000 words.

One word three yuan!

This is Su Wen's current market, much more powerful than most writers, in the literary circle of the Chinese Empire, it is a relatively high group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is among the best.

Life Newspaper is also very kind, from the first word of "Little Silk in Wonderland" began to settle the manuscript fee to Su Wen at this price - in order to win over this young writer, they are quite hard.

As everyone expected, on the day of the finale of "Little Silk in Wonderland", the sales of Life Daily once exceeded 2.2 million copies, which is also among the top in Kyoto.

As the fairy tale ended, the itchy readers began to go crazy in their frustration, some on the Internet, some wrote letters, and some published articles in newspapers, expressing their opinions.

There are praises, there are depreciations, and there are also those who join in the fun and play soy sauce.

Most of the people who praise it are the same, they tell interesting stories and have strange imaginations, but it is a little difficult for them to talk about it at length, after all, this is just a fairy tale, and they can't say anything.

This shortcoming is seized upon by demeaning people who speak very unpleasantly:

"This is a story made up without logic, and it is not worth mentioning at all at the level of primary school students' composition, I can't figure out why anyone still likes it, and what is even worse is that it is published in the newspaper in a grand manner! May I ask the editor of Life Newspaper, are you all blind? ”

"This is an absurd and ridiculous story! This fairy tale simply fools the world, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the worst fairy tale of the year! ”

"The editor should have received money from the author, otherwise such a story could pass the review?"

“……”

It wasn't until a person with huge energy in the cultural world came forward to stand up for Su Wen and praise his fairy tale that everyone found out that Su Wen suddenly took a big step forward and was not on the same channel as them! (To be continued.) )
