The adaptation of the fairy tale is in progress!
And this time it’s not a leather bag company that wants to cheat copyright. According to Lu Benjie’s introduction on the phone, this animation production company called Pippi Shrimp is very sincere. Not only is the price generous, but also willing to sell around Concessions on copyright. biquge.gg
To this end, Yang Yi decided to set aside a day to come to the publishing house to meet with the boss, producers and other teams who came to visit Pippi Shrimp.
Then again, Pippi Shrimp is a domestic animation production company. When I first heard about it, Yang Yi subconsciously wanted to veto the deal.
However, after a later investigation, I found that the Chinese animation industry in this world is not weak. Perhaps because of the integrity of copyright protection, domestic animation has developed very well, and there are endless talents and studios for drawing comics. Just like when Yang Yi asked Lu Benjie to recruit painters to set up a picture book department, it didn’t take a week for more than 40 painters to be in place!
The core of the animation industry is not the artist but the technology. Yang Yi used to watch children’s animations with Xixi. After watching the real animation movies and serialized animation dramas, he realized that the Chinese animation industry does It’s no worse than the neon country of Yang Yi’s previous life!
Of course, the animation industry is like the film industry. There are big animation companies and small animation companies. There are excellent animation works, and there are also a lot of bad movies flooding the market!
After investigation, the scale of Pippi Shrimp can only be classified as medium, but their works are good. They maintain one or two new works every year, and their box office and reputation are high. All are strong competitors!
That’s why Lu Benjie tried his best to reverse Yang Yi’s prejudice against domestic animation, and Yang Yi was willing to come to the publishing house.
…
Yu Ying only has one day off a week, and because she is in the catering industry, she cannot take vacations on weekends, so she usually chooses Mondays.
However, today Yu Ying was on holiday, so instead of taking a good rest at home, after taking Yu Xiaowei to school, she carried her bag and took the bus to Tingshan District.
“Hello, may I help you?” Yu Ying just walked into the office building where Sahara Publishing House is located, and a receptionist noticed her and asked with a smile while looking at Yu Ying.
“Hello, I’m here to submit a manuscript today. Didn’t your publishing house set up a children’s book author support fund?” Yu Ying said with the same smile. In fact, reception at the front desk is also considered a service industry, and Yu Ying and the other party are considered peers.
Don’t look at Yu Ying’s calmness now, but she’s still a little nervous inside. She took out a stack of manuscript papers from her bag, and her hand was a little tight, but the receptionist couldn’t see these details.
Yes, Yu Ying has contributed!
After the discussion with her colleagues, she also had a preliminary understanding of Yang Yi and Sahara Press, and she could probably judge that the advertisement in the book was not a brain-dead scam similar to SMS fraud. .
Although her heart is still uncertain, Yu Ying is eager to get the support fund, so that she can have the money to buy a better house for her mother and daughter, and to improve her life.
Even…she is eager to go from a poor mother to a well-known writer like Yang Yi said in a certain report. If one day she can become a full-time writer, Yu Ying can spend a little more time with her daughter growing up.
So, in the past two weeks, after Yu Ying came back from get off work, she thought about her own story, and wrote the outline and the first three chapters of the opening according to the requirements of the advertisement.
I was very tired from work, and when I came back, I had to lie down at the desk and write in the dim light. Yu Ying had been sleeping on the bed for the past two weeks. Her body and mind were tired, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Also with great expectations, Yu Yingcai is so nervous…
“Do you want to contribute to the Children’s Book Author Support Fund?” the receptionist asked in surprise, “Of course there is no problem, but you can do it by postal express, Sahara Express, or even send an email directly to our You can email the manuscript, there is no need for you to come to Jiangcheng in person!”
Yu Ying hurriedly told the other party that she was also from Jiangcheng. She held her handwritten manuscript and said with some embarrassment: “And I think it is more sincere to come in person. If there are some questions, I still want to talk to the editor of the foundation. Ask me.”
The receptionist at the front desk was not embarrassed, she smiled: “Okay, wait a moment, I will help you to ask which editor can receive you, the fund is set up by our boss, and everything is handed over to you. We operate, so the editor of our publishing house is also the editor of the foundation.”
After a while, a bald, but kind-hearted middle-aged man walked out, shook hands with Yu Ying, and said, “Hello, I’m Wen Xuefeng, the editor of Sahara Press.”
Wen Xuefeng heard Yu Ying say that in addition to submitting articles, there are still some questions he wants to consult, so he asked the receptionist to help him set up a small conference room, and he sat down with Yu Ying to discuss in detail.
“In fact, a lot of authors called to ask about your question some time ago.” Wen Xuefeng said with a smile after listening to Yu Ying’s question, “First of all, we need to clarify that this fund is privately set up by our boss. A support fund, of course, the purpose is to allow more excellent children’s books to emerge.”
“So we won’t run this support fund with the selfishness of trying to win new authors or copyright. When reviewing the manuscript, we also use the outline you provided and the content of the first three chapters as the object of investigation. If it is really an excellent work, we will provide financial support, and there will be some free writing training in the future, and even help you turn your work into a picture book to help you expand sales. I believe you have already understood this. !”
“Why do I say you don’t have to worry about your creativity being stolen?” Wen Xuefeng laughed, “Because I don’t know if you have registered copyright for your work, in principle, we encourage authors to register first Good copyright, and then submit to us! Even if you don’t understand or forget to register the copyright, after the approval, we will remind you to find a lawyer to register the copyright first, and then we will sign the support contract.”
With the protection of copyright organizations, Yu Ying really doesn’t have to worry about these issues.
“Then what are your review criteria? Do you think I can get support for this manuscript?” Yu Ying asked nervously.
“I can’t tell you whether this is possible or not. Because of the same manuscript, we will arrange five editors in charge to review it in turn. If more than half of the editors in charge think it’s OK, the manuscript will be handed over to our associate editor and editor in chief. Of course, at this time, after the review of the five editors in charge, as long as there is no major problem with this work, you can get 10,000 yuan in support, and the deputy editor has the right to determine 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. If your work wants to get To the support fund of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, it still needs to be reviewed by our editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief!” Wen Xuefeng explained.
“So strict?” Yu Ying showed a surprised look, “Why does this feel more difficult than the college entrance examination?”
Wen Xuefeng said with a smile: “Isn’t this also responsible for your authors? The rules are clear, the rights and responsibilities are clear, and some excellent works will not be buried!”
Yu Ying, who has been afraid of exams since she was a child, felt a lot of psychological pressure. She was out of breath and had to take a break, so Yu Ying used the excuse to go to the bathroom and came out of the corridor to breathe fresh air.
Just walking to the corner of the corridor, Yu Ying heard the conversation between two men.
“I’m basically satisfied with the conditions of Pippi Shrimp, but you can ask them to see if it is possible for us to participate in the investment? Or if his boss agrees, I can strengthen the stake in Pippi Shrimp!” Yang Yi With a smile, he patted Lu Benjie on the shoulder and said.
“The second possibility is relatively small. The owner of Pippi Shrimp is rich in wealth, not the owner of poor money.” Lu Benjie pondered and said, “But let’s try it! I will let the negotiation team talk to them.”
“Well, if it really doesn’t work, then don’t force it.” Yang Yi smiled, “By the way, did you read the new book I sent you some time ago? How do you feel?”
“Boss, just one word, shock!” Lu Benjie joked.
“Fart, that’s two words!”
“Really, I think your creative level is getting higher and higher!” Lu Benjie flattered without leaving a trace, “When I first read this book, I saw the prison and thought it was the same as “Prison Break” ‘s work, but after reading it, I feel that it is more like “Walking in the White Night” or “The Grocery Store”, which depicts human nature to the core!”
“No, it’s not just these!” Lu Benjie said excitedly, “it is more about people’s desire for freedom, and about the spirit of freedom that will never be extinguished in setbacks!”
However, Yang Yi frowned and held Lu Benjie down, telling him to stop talking, but turned to look at the corner of the corridor.
“Who is eavesdropping there?” Yang Yi stared there closely and asked in a deep voice.
Although it’s not a secret thing, being overheard is naturally a very annoying thing!
“Ah…I…I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” A female voice came over, and Yu Ying in a small suit walked out of the corner in embarrassment.
“Which department do you belong to? Who taught you not to go to work and come here to eavesdrop?” Lu Benjie, an honest man, was a little embarrassed at the moment. He made such a big mess in front of the boss, and it was because he couldn’t manage it. Yan!
Yu Ying was a little scared, but she didn’t put her status very lowly. She pursed her lips and said, “I’m not a staff member of the publishing house, I’m the author of today’s submission… I want to Apply for the Children’s Book Author Support Fund.”
“You should submit your manuscript to the editorial department! Why are you here?” Lu Benjie asked suspiciously.
Yu Ying had to tell Lu Benjie and Yang Yi why she was here, she hesitantly said: “I just came out to the bathroom, I didn’t expect to hear you talking, and I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, just, I see When Yang Yi is here, I want to ask him some questions.”
Actually, Yu Ying never thought of confirming with Yang Yi the issues she was worried about before. How did she know that she would have a chance to meet Yang Yi? Just hearing Yang Yi and the others talking, she suddenly stopped, and now she can only bite the bullet and use the questions that have been asked and answered just now as an excuse.
Yang Yi’s expression darkened slightly, and when he heard that the other party was an author who came to contribute, and it seemed that he was a married young mother, he became a lot more kind: “What do you want to ask me?”
“That’s right, Mr. Yang, I want to know, does this support fund you set up really want to help us authors who have some stories of our own?” Yu Ying was nervous and didn’t know what to say. some problems.
Yang Yi didn’t care, he smiled: “Of course not, I’m selfish, I said in an interview before, I hope there will be more children’s books on the market, and excellent works will appear! You are also a mother, right? Then you should also be able to understand my thoughts, I think my daughter and my son will have books suitable for them to read when they grow up, so that their interest in reading will not be exhausted!”
When Yu Ying heard Yang Yi’s sincere answer, she had already let go of most of her heart, but now she has let go completely.
“Thank you, Mr. Yang! That’s actually the case. At first, I was a little worried that it was a false advertisement, because I was…” After Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she excitedly told Yang Yi and Lu Benjie My own mental journey from hesitation to plucking up the courage to try these days.
Yu Ying was also depressed for more than two weeks, and only found an opportunity to vent today.
Yang Yi did not interrupt and listened patiently before saying, “Ms. Yu, we admire your courage and understand that you must have put in a lot of effort in this process, and it’s not easy!” /
“However, our support fund will not be my word. I hope it can really play its role and allow more excellent children’s books to emerge! Therefore, our editorial department will have a set of fair Fair approval process, I can’t interfere with the approval result…”
Speaking of this, Lu Benjie also nodded to Yang Yi.
Yu Ying saw that Yang Yi and the others had misunderstood, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I didn’t mean that, Wen Xuefeng heard the editor told me this just now~IndoMTL.com~ I’d like to follow the process, it’s better to be fair!”
Yes! For Yu Ying, she is just looking forward to a real opportunity, not hollowing out her head and trying to go through the back door! If she was such an unprincipled person, she would probably have gone out with some rich guests to have fun!
“Ms. Yu is from Jiangcheng, right?” Lu Benjie interjected and asked.
“My daughter and I both live in Jiangcheng.” Yu Ying said quickly.
“Since you are in Jiangcheng, this is easy to handle!” Lu Benjie laughed, “Since Ms. Yu has such a strong interest in children’s literature, you can come to us on Friday afternoon, and every Saturday we will arrange editors to give free Some new authors take classes, and they also provide an opportunity for everyone to interact and communicate, whether you have passed the final approval or not, you can participate!”
“Friday afternoon…” Yu Ying was a little excited at first, but hesitated when she thought about the time, but in the end she gritted her teeth and said, “I see, thank you, I will definitely come to study when I have time! “
“Come on! I wish you success!” Yang Yi didn’t take it too seriously, shook hands with Yu Ying, encouraged the young mother, and left with Lu Benjie.
