Chapter 254: Special Edition
Wang Shao kept shouting that he was going to send it, and he was going to send it, which made Miss He stunned.
However, she could also hear that Wang Shao was very satisfied with Su Wen's fairy tales.
Attention, very satisfied!
It's not just satisfaction.
This puzzled He Rong, who admitted that these fairy tales looked good, but that was all, the stories were not exciting, let alone any literary style and thought - except, of course, "The Ugly Duckling", which she valued the most.
In He Rong's opinion, the stories written by many fairy tale writers are more complex and exciting, and the plots are much fuller, like Su Wen, which is like a primary school student!
However, Wang Shao was so excited that it was almost difficult to control, which made He Rong incomprehensible.
"Uncle Wang, is it as exaggerated as you say? Just because of those few fairy tales, our life newspaper is about to be published? He Rong said in disbelief, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, even if you criticize Su Wen, I won't reveal a word to him, you don't need to promote him in front of me." β
"Stinky girl, do you think your Uncle Wang is the kind of person who slaps on the back?" Wang Shao scolded with a smile.
He Rong muttered: "Who knows what you mean, looking at your appearance, I can't wait to stammer Su Wen!" β
Wang Shao was furious: "You stinky girl, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" It's just that you're just a journalist, and I don't blame you for not seeing the value of these fairy tales. β
This annoyed He Rong, and she said unresignedly: "Uncle Wang, why do you look down on us reporters, what about reporters, reporters can't have literary literacy?" Yes, you are a big editor, and I admit that I am inferior to you in terms of literary appreciation, but you can't be a reporter. β
"Okay, okay, I said it wrong, it's my fault, can I apologize?" Wang Shao was taken aback. If He Rong is an ordinary young man, with his identity, he doesn't care about the other party's attitude, but this girl is the daughter of his friend, and the two families often come and go, and he watched He Rong grow up. It's almost the same as a righteous girl, where do you dare to let her lose her temper.
He Rong snorted: "It's pretty much the same." Isn't it just a few fairy tales, what am I not sure about? β
"Huh." Wang Shao smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
He Rong still didn't follow: "Uncle Wang, what are you laughing at, are you laughing at me again?" What did you just praise Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, in my opinion, your vision is the problem! Among the five fairy tales, these three are the most ordinary. is much worse than "Thumbelina", the latter has a good writing, a rich enough storyline, and a passable imagination. Of course, compared with "The Ugly Duckling", the first four articles are greatly inferior, and even combined are not as good as this ugly duckling! β
"Oh?" Wang Shao became interested when he heard this, and smiled more easily. "By what you say, your opinion is very different from mine. Am I inferior to you? β
He Rong pouted and said: "At least I want to praise and praise "The Ugly Duckling", not Snow White!" β
"Why?"
"It's obviously good!" He Rong snorted, "Whether it's Snow White or Cinderella, it's just the dreams of princes and princesses, and they're all children's dreams." Except for cheating children, it has no value at all. "The Ugly Duckling" is different, it is simply an inspirational story, full of positive abilities! Such stories can enlighten children and sublimate their hearts. If there were more fairy tales like this in the world. I think it's totally beneficial and good for small children! β
"Tsk!" Wang Shao was a little surprised, "Girl, are you a young man, or am I a young man, why do you look old-fashioned when you talk?" Helpful, beneficial, what educational value, isn't that what we old guys should say? You are a girl in your twenties, and you often talk about the avenue of articles, which is not in line with your young people's ideas! β
He Rong was not convinced: "What do you call young people's thoughts?" Shouldn't young people have ideas, should they be naΓ―ve and ignorant? As a journalist, my purpose is to record the truth and serve this society! Why serve? Isn't it just for the betterment of this society? So, I want to see more educational articles, what's wrong? β
Wang Shao smiled and said, "That's right, that's right!" It can only be said that each has its own views and positions. I didn't say that "The Ugly Duckling" is bad, this article is both a classic fairy tale and an atypical fairy tale, and it does have a deeper meaning and connotation. I think that after reading it, readers will never forget it, and they will remember it until they die, and remember that there is such a story of an ugly duckling in their lives. β
"But how can I hear your tone as if it is not as good as those princess and prince stories?" He Rong was a little surprised.
Wang Shao said: "Don't forget, a fairy tale is a fairy tale, just look at it and you will know who it is for." That's right, it's a child! First of all, it is a story for children, and secondly, it is literature. Many people look down on fairy tale writers and feel that their writings are childish. However, if they were asked to write fairy tales, they would hardly be able to write them! Why? Because they have no childlike innocence, no innocence, and can't write childlike stories. What kind of education, what is the meaning, in the eyes of children, it's all bullshit! They simply don't have such a notion. They want stories that are appropriate for their age to read. That's a fairy tale for them! Do you understand? β
"I don't understand." He Rong replied very simply.
Wang Shao smiled and said, "This is the position I just said. I'm a literary editor, and if I review poetry, then I'll use it by the standards of poetry; When reviewing novels, I will use the standards of novels; Any other essays, reports, etc., all have my own set of standards. In the same way, if someone gives me a fairy tale, then I have to review them with the eyes of a fairy tale. What is the standard for fairy tales? I am a newspaper, and of course I need stories that readers will applaud and bring sales to our newspaper. β
"I'm afraid that Uncle Wang attaches more importance to the last point, sales are king, isn't it? Uncle Wang thinks fairy tales like "Snow White" are more suitable for our life newspaper? β
"Of course." Wang Shao did not shy away from saying, "The readers of our life newspaper are relatively old, they are all people with children, I believe that they read a story like Snow White, they must not help but read to their children, if these fairy tales are bedtime stories, it must be perfect." I can already imagine the applause of our readers, and the prospect of our life newspaper selling well. β
"......" He Rongliang said with a wry smile, "Uncle Wang, you are a professional newspaper person, you have been an editor for so many years, you must be able to grasp the market trends, you say they are good, then they must be good." β
Wang Shao chuckled: "What we earn is just newspaper sales, and Su Wen will be the one who makes the most money in the future." β
"How?"
Wang Shao sighed: "Do you find that these fairy tales are not bad, what magic mirrors, dwarfs, and wizards, this is simply a script that naturally serves film and television." Not to mention anything else, making works such as anime will definitely attract the attention of children and squeeze their purses, and then a lot of money will go into the hands of copyright owners. In this world, children's money is the best to earn. β
He Rong was shocked: "Do you mean that Su Wen had thought of this stubble a long time ago and deliberately wrote these fairy tales?" β
"How do I know!" Wang Shao smiled bitterly, "I don't care what his situation is, what I need you to do now is to contact Su Wen quickly and ask him to give me all the fairy tales in his hand." β
"What else does he have to tell?"
Otherwise, how could he have named these five stories "Suwen Fairy Tales"? Dare to call it like this, it can be seen that he has a series of stories, and it also proves how big his ambition is! β
He Rong took a breath of cool air, frowned and said, "He just gave us five stories, and it is estimated that he will not write them for us immediately." The number of five articles, Uncle Wang, if you post one in two or three days, it is enough to last for more than half a month. β
"I'm not going to post one in two or three days."
"Uncle Wang, do you want to send it once a day?" He Rong was slightly surprised, "You are giving Su Wen's column treatment." β
Wang Shao still smiled: "I don't just want to give him a column, I also want to give him a special edition treatment!" β
"Special edition? Uncle Wang, what do you mean ......?"
"I plan to publish five fairy tales in the literary column of our "Kyoto Life Daily" at one time!" Wang Shao's voice was unusually loud.
"What?" He Rong was shocked.
Wang Shao laughed and said, "I'm going to play a big one this time!" What is the column, one article a day, and some people still can't pay attention to Su Wen's fairy tales. It is their loss to miss such fairy tales, and I have an obligation to let them see good stories, which is also my duty as an editor-in-chief. β
He Rong rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid there are other intentions, right?" β
"Girl, did you guess what I meant?"
He Rong sighed: "What other purpose can you have, hype!" Five articles, 10,000 or 20,000 words, two pages may not be able to accommodate. When the reader opens the life newspaper and sees that it is all Su Wen's name, he will definitely be surprised, and he will be surprised, that is, it will attract their attention, and if there are eyeballs, then there will be a topic. We do a newspaper, don't we just want to talk about it? Even if there is no topic, Uncle Wang can probably stir up a topic. When the time comes, the title of the transformation of a literary genius, or the fairy tale feature of the genius Su Wen will come out, right? Oh, so many articles are from one person, I think Uncle Wang will definitely use some space to give Su Wen an introduction? Isn't this all a gimmick, isn't it all a topic? β
Wang Shao laughed: "Those who know me, the girl too!" Look, I'm going to make tomorrow's Kyoto Life newspaper the most classic newspaper in people's minds. Because a fairytale genius was born in our hands! Of course, hype is hype, and the key is to have strength. If it weren't for such a classic fairy tale, I wouldn't dare to play like this. So, girl, you hurry up and ask Su Wen for more fairy tales, and if you have more stories in your hands, I will be more confident. β
He Rong nodded and agreed, and after hanging up Wang Shao's phone, he directly contacted Su Wen to inform him of the matter.
"A special version of fairy tales?" Su Wen was so shocked that he almost fell out of bed when he heard this! (To be continued.) )
