1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 650 Don't let your child lose at the starting line

Facing his son's crying, Qu Xiaowei was at a loss.

Little White Dragon?What it is?
Liu Haiyan, who was still angry at her son's mischievous behavior, scolded: "Little Bailong, I think you look like a little Bailong! Those are all things in books, and they are not real? What are you looking for here with your godfather? "

"Godfather... Dad wrote it, he... definitely has it."

Qu Xiangnan cried miserably, but his innocent words made Lin Weimin and his parents dumbfounded.

This time Lin Weimin finally understood why the kid was crying and coming to his house.

After Liu Haiyan beat the child, she had to be coaxed as she should.

A slap in the face and a sweet date are useful for social animals, especially for children.

After a while, Qu Xiangnan's face changed from rain to sunshine, and he couldn't help asking Lin Weimin: "Godfather, is there really no little white dragon?"

"I don't know, maybe there is, but no one has seen it, maybe there is none at all."

Lin Weimin didn't give Qu Xiangnan a definite answer, it's not a bad thing for children to keep some childish fantasy.

Coming out of the study, Qu Xiangnan followed Lin Weimin step by step, asking questions, showing unprecedented intimacy, even Qu Xiaowei, his own father, was a little jealous.

Qu Xiaowei asked Liu Haiyan, "What is Little White Dragon?"

Liu Haiyan glanced at him irritably, "I know about the stall all day long, and the child doesn't care at all. Xiao Bailong is a character in "Spirited Away"..."

Liu Haiyan accompanies her children to do homework and read books every day. Qu Xiangnan is only in the third grade of elementary school, and she does not know many characters in the novels.

Since June, "Spirited Away" has published four consecutive issues on "Children's Age", and more than half of the content has been serialized.

"Spirited Away" is a rare full-length children's literature, and it was created by Lin Weimin. The quality is extremely outstanding, and it is very valued by "Children's Age".

The layout is the best position, the typesetting is meticulous, and the exquisite illustrations are not forgotten at the end, which can be called top treatment.

After the publication of this novel, it did not live up to the expectations of Children's Times. From the first issue, it has been warmly welcomed by readers and children. Many children who can't write ligatures even wrote letters to the magazine to express themselves with the help of their parents. Love this novel.

They also included gifts in the letter, some said it was for the author Lin Weimin’s uncle, some said it was for Chihiro, the things were not expensive, they were all children’s snacks or small toys, expressing the children’s love for this book. Novel recognition and love.

As time goes by, the influence of "Spirited Away" is gradually strengthening, and more and more children and even teenagers have become loyal readers of this novel.

Children's literature is a minority, because most of the readers are children, who can't even make their own voices, so it is difficult to form a strong wave of public opinion in a short period of time like excellent pure literature.

But after fermenting four issues, Children's Times Club was surprised to find that the sales volume of the magazine "Children's Times", which had been declining for many years, actually rose to a certain extent.

In the 80s, the sales volume of "Children's Age" once reached a peak of 120 million copies, but the good times did not last long. In recent years, the sales volume of the magazine has been falling continuously. Before June this year, the sales volume of each issue could only be maintained at 40. About [-] copies.

The June issue that published the first issue of "Spirited Away" has sold more than 50 copies so far, the July issue sold 55 copies, and the August issue jumped to more than 80 copies.

Now that the September issue has just been released for a few days, the final sales volume is still uncertain, but according to the feedback received by Children's Times from various bookstores and post offices, the sales trend of the September issue is only stronger than the previous issues, 80 Servings are not an issue at all.

Shanghai, Children's Times Society.

In the past two months, the atmosphere in the Children's Times Club has been full of joy.

After the sales peak in the 80s, they have rarely tasted the joy of publication sales.

The sales of the September issue were extremely hot after it was released, and more than half of them were sold in just a few days. Bookstores and post offices sent messages regardless of whether it was a week or a weekend, hoping that Children's Times Society could print it in advance.

Logistics is underdeveloped at this time. If you wait until the magazine inventory has bottomed out before printing and shipping, you may have to wait a few days.

According to the current trend, the September issue of "Children's Age" is a foregone conclusion, and it is not too much to print in advance.

But in terms of the number of reprints, Qiu Shilong fell into a tangle.

"Children's Age" has not been said to be reprinted for many years. Now that it is published out of the blue, he is afraid that he will not be able to handle it properly. If the backlog is accumulated in the library, it will be self-defeating.

Qiu Shilong took the sales chart of "Children's Age" in the past three months and studied it for a long time.

It can be seen from the sales of the June issue that the increase in magazine sales is inseparable from the publication of "Spirited Away".When it came to the July issue, the sales increased slightly. This should be the word-of-mouth fermentation period of "Spirited Away".

By the August issue, word-of-mouth from readers began to feed back sales, leading to a sharp increase in magazine sales.

Now in September, the momentum of the September issue is even faster than that of the August issue, which proves that the potential readers brought by "Spirited Away" to "Children's Age" are far from being saturated, and there is still a lot of room for digging .

After realizing this truth, Qiu Shilong was full of confidence.

Print 20 more copies first, and keep an eye on the feedback from bookstores and post offices around the world. Once the stock runs out, reprint immediately.

The number of copies of the first print of the September issue of "Children's Times" has been increased to 80 copies under his strong support. Counting the additional 20 copies, the circulation has reached 100 million copies, and it is gradually increasing to "Children's Times". 120 million copies in the peak period launched a charge!

Qiu Shilong believes that this record that has been dusty for many years will not stand there for too long. Maybe the November issue, maybe the October issue, "Children's Age" will definitely break the record many years ago and advance to a new record.

Thinking that the Children's Times Society will reach its peak again in his own hands, Qiu Shilong couldn't help but tremble all over with excitement.

Now looking back at the 80s, it is not difficult for people to find that it was a prosperous age of literature. With the people's love for literature at that time, it was easy for any literary publication to sell more than one million copies.

200 million copies of "Contemporary", 600 million copies of "Story Club", and 900 million copies of "Popular Movies". In that hot era, no matter whether it was pure literature, popular literature or entertainment publications, everyone's sales seemed to have no end. Under the pursuit of countless readers, it continues to create sales miracles one after another.

At this point in time, everything has changed. "Popular Movies" has fallen from the altar, "Story Club" and "Contemporary" can only be maintained. It is difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of the 80s.

But just at this time, "Spirited Away" was born, and the sales of "Children's Era" followed closely, and it was only a short while before the record that had been kept for many years was broken.

To achieve such an achievement, the difficulty is not the same as it was back then, and it is full of gold.

The excitement gradually calmed down, and Qiu Shilong was filled with joy. He thought about it, "Spirited Away" has been serialized for more than half, but he hasn't called Lin Weimin to express his thanks, which is really rude.

Thinking of this, Qiu Shilong picked up the phone.

"Editor Qiu, you are too well-respected. It is all thanks to the readers that you can achieve such results."

"I also look forward to your magazine breaking the record and recreating the glory of the year!"

……

"Okay, okay, we must get together when we have time."

"Be sure to keep in touch, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Weimin came out of the room.

In the morning of September, the heat has gradually passed, and although the sun is shining brightly, it is very comfortable.

Qu Xiaowei is working hard to burn charcoal, and is going to have a barbecue at noon today.

Several lesbians are working together, cutting meat, marinating meat, skewering meat, the process is orderly, busy but not chaotic.

Qu Xiangnan, an elementary school monk, was surrounded by Xiaodoubao's stroller, full of joy.

Without a little white dragon, a little Chihiro would be enough!

Looking at the little bean buns who were still in their swaddling arms, he couldn't help falling into fantasy.

This is Chihiro when she was a child. When she grows up, the story of "Spirited Away" will happen. Godfather and mother will become pigs, and Chihiro will go through all kinds of hardships to save them.

Thinking about it, Qu Xiangnan became distressed, why is there nothing about me here?

No, I want to be a little white dragon and take Chihiro's sister on an adventure.

Little White Dragon, how handsome!

Qu Xiangnan's little head was full of beautiful fantasies, his thoughts wandered freely in the magnificent imaginary world, his eyes fixed on the sleeping Zhengxiang's Xiaodoubao, and he laughed like an idiot.

His laughter aroused Lin Weimin's vigilance, something was wrong with this kid.

Why are you staring at my daughter?
If you don't learn well at a young age, you will be as virtuous as your father!
Teacher Lin is an upright person, even if his godson goes astray, he has to kill his relatives righteously.

"Second treasure, come here!"

When Lin Weimin spoke, Qu Xiangnan hurried over, "Godfather asked you, how did you do in the final exam last semester?"

Qu Xiangnan heard the words Qiqi Ai Ai, "The exam is very good."

"How good is it?"

"Hmm..." Qu Xiangnan looked left and right, but he didn't answer Lin Weimin's question. After being forced into a hurry, he reluctantly revealed the final grades of last semester.

After Lin Weimin finished listening, a worried expression appeared on his face, "You can't go on like this!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Liu Haiyan and said, "Haiyan!"

Liu Haiyan, who was working, raised her head, "What's wrong?"

"Er Treasure, the two of you will have snacks to study, it won't be like ours in the future, the country has been studying the matter of canceling the distribution of college student bags for the past few years.

When they grow up, don't expect to be assigned jobs. If they don't get into a good university, it will be a problem to find a job in the future.

You two, you can't let your child lose at the starting line! "

Teacher Lin's words were earnest and sincere, which aroused strong resonance from Liu Haiyan.

"Isn't it? How many times have I told Xiaowei that he doesn't care at all, he just knows to study his mess all day long."

"You can't count on him either. He didn't even get into a university. You are different. You are a serious college student."

Hearing what Lin Weimin said, Liu Haiyan suddenly felt a sense of superiority in terms of academic qualifications.

She stared at Qu Xiangnan with a blank face, "That's right, this kid is in the fourth grade now, if this continues, he won't even be able to get into a decent junior high school, what's the matter?"

"Let's find a teacher for the child to make up lessons, but he can't be left behind in elementary school." Lin Weimin said sincerely.

Liu Haiyan pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously.

After Lin Weimin's "enlightenment", Haidian's mother's chicken baby soul was officially awakened.

"You're right, just do it like this, and don't let the child lose at the starting line."
