Chapter 25: The Dilemma of Children's Literature
"In today's era of entertainment surplus, books are becoming more and more backward, and the rise of online literature has had an impact on physical literature, making the volume of physical literature shrink even smaller."
"Especially children's literature, children's reading nowadays is more inclined to electronic reading, and the part of online literature that has the most serious impact on powerful literature is children's literature."
"Because of the current predicament of children's literature, the authors of children's literature have been transformed, and in order to save children's literature, I found you!"
Zhou Zhenghua looked at Yang Youqian seriously.
"So, that's the reason for the buyout price of 50 thousand words?" Yang Youqian frowned.
"Mr. Yang!" Zhou Zhenghua sighed, "There is a commission!" If your fairy tale helps our weekly sales, then we will definitely take a commission and increase the price. ”
50 words per thousand, but "Snow White" is only 3,000 words.
is also a "Snow White", which can only earn 150 yuan, which is simply funny!
And aren't you talking about the rise of online literature? Why don't I write an online article to write your fairy tale?
Zhou Zhenghua saw the reluctance in his eyes, so he said, "Mr. Yang, as a person with no publishing experience, I didn't even read your manuscript, so I offered you a price of 50 words per thousand words, which is already very high!" ”
Yang Youqian sniffed his nose and thought about how he could refuse.
"Baba!" Xin'er chewed the ham sausage in her mouth and said vaguely, "Xin'er! Xin'er wants to watch "Snow White"! ”
Yang Youqian was stunned.
stroked Xin'er on the dinner table, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
So, in order to save the dying children's literature, Yang Youqian decided! Become a Writer!
Now that Yang has money and time, he wrote three fairy tales "Snow White", "The Little Match Girl" and "Cinderella" in one day.
These three fairy tales are all from the hands of Hans Christian Andersen in the previous life, and the classics of these three fairy tales directly make these three stories popular all over the world, and the derivatives of these three fairy tales are also more than one!
In short, these three fairy tales are extremely classic!
In addition, Yang Youqian also inquired about the South China Publishing House.
His three fairy tales will be published in South China University Press's product: "Fairy Tale King" weekly.
"Fairy Tale King" weekly has been serialized for nearly 10 years, and it is an old fairy tale magazine, and it is easy to sell more than 10,000 sales per issue during the subversive period.
And the sales of "Fairy Tale King" are almost getting worse, and so far, the sales of each issue of "Fairy Tale King" weekly are only a few hundred, which can be described as miserable.
Thinking about it from this, Yang Youqian's thousand-word 50 is also a last resort.
But Yang Youqian is very confident in these three fairy tales!
is not only the influence of these three fairy tales in the previous life, but also the degree to which Xiao Xin'er can't put down these three fairy tales.
When Yang Youqian finished writing the fairy tale, the first time was not to deliver the manuscript, but to show it to his daughter.
Sure enough, after reading these three fairy tales, Xin'er was simply fascinated, seeing Cinderella being bullied by her sisters, she screamed anxiously, and after seeing Cinderella wearing a crystal slipper, she giggled happily.
When I watched "The Little Match Girl", I cried loudly when I saw the cold little girl finally smiling and freezing to death.
No way, Yang Youqian could only comfort, and after comforting him for a while, he stopped.
Xin'er had performed these three fairy tale stage plays at the beginning, and she could like them so much, Yang Youqian was suddenly full of confidence and passed the manuscript to Zhou Zhenghua.
And soon, Zhou Zhenghua replied: "Mr. Yang, we have enough time to prepare, you don't need to be so fast, I suggest you still modify it more!"
When Yang Youqian looked at it, he knew that this person saw that he was so efficient, so he didn't even look at it and wanted to repair it himself.
Yang was rich and didn't bother to explain, and replied directly: "Don't worry! Produced by money! It must be a boutique! Trust me and I'm not wrong! ”
Yang Youqian replied like this, and Zhou Zhenghua didn't say much, after all, he was also very busy.
Moreover, in fact, Zhou Zhenghua said that he took a fancy to Yang Youqian's ability to make up stories, which was just a pretense.
He found Yang Youqian at the beginning, just because on the Internet, the three stage plays of Yang Youqian actually had a lot of fame in the local area.
And relying on this fame, even if Yang has the money to write these three fairy tales as shit, someone will definitely buy it, this is the fan effect.
So Zhou Zhenghua doesn't care very much about whether Yang Youqian can write fairy tales well.
"Keep reviewing the manuscript!" Zhou Zhenghua sighed and said lazily.
......
Time flies, and soon the day has come for the latest installment of "Fairy Tale King" to be updated.
For now, there are two kinds of people who still buy "Fairy Tale King".
One is an ordinary child, who simply likes to read fairy tales.
There is also an adult who is full of feelings, because "Fairy Tale King" has brought them too many memories in the past, so now that they are adults, they are also willing to pay for "Fairy Tale King".
And office worker Lu Qi is such an adult.
"Alas......" Lu Qi looked at the cover of the latest issue of "Fairy Tale King" and sighed, "The current "Fairy Tale King" is really kneeling in front of the market. ”
What is called kneeling in front of the market, what he means is that "Fairy Tale King" is willing to make changes according to the wishes of the market for the sake of sales, and they will do what they do if the sales are high.
And now the cover of "Fairy Tale King" is the three fairy tales of Yang Youqian.
Lu Qi has also heard a little about these three stories, and he has also seen the stage plays recorded by others, and I have to say that these three stage plays are indeed very good.
As a result, these three stage plays became famous, and "The Fairy Tale King" asked a person who had never written a book to write a fairy tale, which was really ...... Alas...."Lu Qi shook his head, the current "Fairy Tale King" is full of copper smell, and there is no way to do it.
After all, he himself is also a man who compromises with capital.
"Hmph, people who have never written a book write fairy tales! Comical! Lu Qi complained again, but he still bought this issue of "Fairy Tale King".
After purchasing the book, he headed in the direction of the company.
Lu Qi's greatest pleasure is to take a look at fairy tales when he is busy during the company's break, and look for the innocence of the past in the helpless world of adults.
It was 8:30 a.m., and Lu Qi quickly worked until 11:30.
On the desk, Lu Qi opened the bread he bought and gnawed on it, and took out "The Fairy Tale King", eating while reading a book, which is a long-term habit that Lu Qi has maintained, and every time he is fascinated by it, he will forget to eat bread.
For this reason, his colleagues jokingly refer to him as a work discriminator.
Because as long as he reads hungry, then this work is definitely a good work!
Lu Qi turned the first page, the first fairy tale was "Snow White", and Lu Qi showed a displeased expression on his face.
Adapt! Adapting the script into a novel for the sake of money!
Lu Qi is a veritable original party, and in his impression, adapted works generally blind the original party in order to take care of non-original parties.
Anyway, the original party will buy it, so isn't it normal for them to take more care of themselves in order to make more money and haven't read the original book?
So Lu Qi is extremely disgusted with adaptation!
With this disgust, Lu Qi looked down with critical eyes......
But looking at it, Lu Qi suddenly forgot the bread on the side and looked at the wonderful story inside.
He's already fascinated!
