Chapter 717: Pippi shrimp and new works (4/4, for a little bit of air, plus more)

The adaptation of fairy tales has progressed!

And this time it is not a leather bag company that wants to swindle copyright. According to the introduction of Lu Benjie's phone, this animation company called Phi Phi Shrimp is very sincere, not only the price is very generous, but also willing to make concessions on the surrounding copyright. .趣趣阁biquge.gg

To this end, Yang Lan decided to vacate a day, to the publishing house and the Pippi shrimp to visit the boss, producers and other teams to see the side.

Then again, Phi Phi Shrimp is a domestic animation production company. When I first heard about it, Yang Lan also subconsciously wanted to veto the transaction.

However, after a check, it was found that the Chinese animation industry in this world is not weak. Perhaps because of the complete copyright protection, domestic animation has developed very well, and the talents and studios of comics are endless. For example, before Yang Lan, Lu Benjie recruited painters to form a picture book department. It took less than a week, and more than forty painters were all in place!

The core of the animation industry is not the artist but the technology. What Yang Lan used to watch is the children's animation with him. After watching the real animated film and serial animation, he realized that the Chinese animation industry has done a little bit. No worse than the neon country of Yang Lan’s past life!

Of course, the animation industry is like the movie industry. There are big animation companies, small animation companies, excellent animation works, and a lot of bad movies all over the market!

After investigation, the scale of Pipi shrimp can only be of a medium standard, but their works are good. One or two new works are kept every year. The box office and word of mouth are high. Every year, the best cartoon long film awards in China are powerful. Competitors!

Therefore, Lu Benjie will try to reverse Yang Lan’s prejudice against domestic animation, and Yang Lan is willing to come over to a publishing house.

......

Yu Ying has only one day's holiday in a week, and because she is engaged in the catering industry, she can't take a weekend vacation, so she usually chooses to be on Monday.

However, today Yu Ying’s holiday, did not rest at home, but after sending Xiao Wei to the school, carrying a bag, took the bus to Tingshan District.

"Hello, may I help you?" Yu Yinggang walked into the office building where the Sahara Publishing House was located. A receptionist noticed her, and looked at Yu Ying while smiling.

"Hello, I am here to submit the manuscript. Is your publishing house not a child reading author support fund?" Yu Ying said with the same smile. In fact, the front desk reception is also considered a service industry, and Yu Ying is a peer.

Do not look at Yu Ying is now calm, but in fact, the heart is still a little nervous, she took out a stack of manuscript paper from her own bag, holding the manuscript paper is a little tight, but the details of the front desk reception can not see.

Yes, Yu Yinglai submitted the manuscript!

After her discussion with colleagues, it was also a preliminary understanding of Yang Lan and Sahara Publishing House. It is probably judged that the advertisement in the book is not a kind of brain scam that is similar to SMS fraud.

Although there is still no bottom in her heart, Yu Ying is eager to get support money. In this way, she has the money to change her mother and daughter for a better house, and it can improve her life.

Even... she is also eager to change from a poor mother to a well-known writer like Yang Lan, who said in a report. If one day can become a full-time writer, Yu Ying can have more time to accompany her daughter to grow up.

Therefore, in the past two weeks, after Yu Ying came back from work, he thought about his own story, wrote the outline according to the requirements of the advertisement, and the first three chapters of the opening.

It was very tired to go to work. When I came back, I was kneeling at the desk. I was writing in the dim light. Yu Ying was almost sleeping in the bed for two weeks. The tiredness of the body and thoughts made her somewhat unbearable.

It is also with great expectations, Yu Yingcai is so nervous...

“Do you want to contribute to the children’s book author support fund?” the front desk reception asked with amazement. “This is of course no problem, but you can use the postal courier, the Sahara Express, or even send an email directly to our receiving email address. Yes, there is no need for you to come to Jiangcheng in person!"

Yu Ying quickly told the other party that he was also a Jiangcheng person. She took her handwritten manuscript and said with some embarrassment: "And I feel that it is more sincere and personally to come in person. I would like to consult with the editors of the Foundation. ”

The front desk reception was not difficult. She smiled and said: "Okay, then wait a moment, I will ask you which editor can receive you. The fund is set up by our boss. All the things are handed over to us. So the editor of our publishing house is also the editor of the foundation."

After a while, a middle-aged man with a bald but very awkward attitude came out and shook hands with Yu Ying and said, "Hello, I am the editor of the Sahara Publishing House."

Wen Xuefeng listened to Yu Ying said that in addition to the submission, there are still some questions to ask for advice, so the front desk reception will help him set up a small meeting room. He and Yu Ying sit down and talk.

"Your question, in fact, a lot of authors called and consulted some time ago." After listening to Yu Ying’s question, Wen Xuefeng said with a smile, "First of all, I have to clarify that this fund is a support fund set up by our boss." The purpose, of course, is to make more excellent children's books come out."

"So we will not run the support fund with the creativity of the new author, or the selfishness of copyright. When reviewing the manuscript, we will also use the outline you provided and the contents of the first three chapters. If it is indeed Very good works, we will give financial support, and then there will be some free writing training, and even help you to make your work into a picture book to help you broaden your sales, I believe you have already learned!"

“Why do I say that you don’t have to worry about your own ideas 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 copyright first. Submit it to us again! Even if you don't understand it, or forget the copyright of registration, after the approval, we will remind you to find a lawyer to register the copyright first, and then we sign the support contract."

With the protection of copyright organizations, Yu Ying does not have to worry about these issues.

"What is the standard for your review? Do you think that my manuscript can get support money?" Yu Ying asked nervously.

"I can't, can't tell you now. Because of the same manuscript, we will arrange five editors to take turns to review. If more than half of the editors feel it is OK, then the manuscript will be handed over to our deputy editor and editor. Of course, At this time, after five audits, this work can get 10,000 support funds as long as there are no major problems, and the deputy editor has the right to determine one to three thousand. If your work wants to get four 50,000 support, it needs to be reviewed by our editor and editor-in-chief!” Wen Xuefeng explained.

“So strict?” Yu Ying showed a surprised look. “How does it feel more difficult than the college entrance examination?”

Wen Xuefeng smiled and said: "Is this not the responsibility of your author? The rules are clear, the powers and responsibilities are clear, and some excellent works are buried!"

Yu Ying, who was afraid of the test, felt a lot of psychological pressure. She was a little breathless and had to slow down. So Yu Ying excuses to go to the bathroom and come out to breathe fresh air in the corridor.

Just walked to the corner of the corridor, Yu Ying heard the voice of two men.

"I am basically satisfied with the conditions of the Pippi shrimp, but you can ask them to see if it is possible, we are also involved in the investment? Or if his boss agrees, I can strengthen the Pipi shrimp!" I shot Lu Benjie’s shoulder and said.

"The second type may be relatively small. The boss of Pippi Shrimp has a rich family, not the owner of poor money." Lu Benjie said, "But let's try! I let the negotiating team talk to them."

"Well, if it doesn't work, it's not too strong." Yang Xiao smiled. "Right, I read the new book I sent you some time ago? How do you feel?"

"Boss, just one word, shock!" Lu Benjie jokes.

"Fart, this is two words!"

"Really, I think your level of creation is getting higher and higher!" Lu Benjie did not leave a trace of flattering. "When I first started reading this book, I saw the prison and thought it was the same work as "Prison Break". But after reading it, I feel that it is more like "White Nights" or "Solutions for the Grocery Store", which depicts humanity as a three-pointer!"

"No, not just these!" Lu Benjie said with some excitement. "It tells more about people's desire for freedom. It tells the spirit of freedom that will never be erased in repeated setbacks!"

However, Yang Lan frowned, hold Lu Benjie, let him not talk, but turned to look at the corner of the corridor.

"Who is there to eavesdrop?" Yang Lan stared at it, and asked quietly.

Although it is not a secret matter, being eavesdropped is naturally a very unpleasant thing!

"Ah... I... Sorry, sorry..." A female voice passed over, and Yu Ying, who was wearing a small suit, walked out of the corner with great urgency.

"Which department are you? Who taught you not to go to work and sneak out?" Lu Benjie, an honest man, was a little bit irritated at the moment, and he had such a big scorpion in front of his boss.

Yu Ying was a little scared, but did not put her position in a humble position. She snorted and said: "I am not a staff member of the publishing house. I am the author of the submission today... I want to apply for children's books. The author supports the fund."

"You submitted the manuscript, you should go to the editorial department! Why come here?" Lu Benjie asked suspiciously.

Yu Ying had to tell Lu Benjie and Yang Lan why they appeared here. She said with a sigh of relief: "I just came out to the bathroom. I didn't expect to hear you talking. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Just, I saw Yang Lan. Yes, I want to ask him some questions."

In fact, Yu Ying did not think about confirming the problems she had worried about with Yang Lan. How did she know that she would have a chance to meet Yang Lan? Just hearing Yang Lan talking to them, she stopped the gods, and now she can only bite the scalp and take the question that she has already asked and answered.

Yang Lan’s face was a little embarrassed, and I heard that the other person was an author who came to submit the manuscript, and it should be a married young mother. He would have a lot of jealousy: “What do you want to ask me?”

"Yes, Mr. Yang, I want to know, is this support fund you set up really want to help us those authors who have some stories of their own?" Yu Ying is nervous, and she does not know that she has some problems with her wording.

Yang Lan didn't care. He smiled and said: "Of course not. I have selfishness. I said it before I was interviewed. I hope that there will be more children's books on the market, and excellent works will appear! You are also a mother? Then you I should also be able to understand my thoughts. I think my daughter, and my son, when they grow up, can have books that are suitable for them to read, so that their interest in reading will not be played nowhere!"

Yu Ying heard the answer from Yang Lanzhen, she had already put down most of her heart, and it was completely released at the moment.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang! Actually, this is the case. I was worried at the beginning that it was a false advertisement because I was..." After Yu Yingshou breathed a sigh of relief, he was excited to talk to Yang Lan and Lu Benjie about these days. From hesitation to the journey of courage to try.

Yu Ying was also suppressed for more than two weeks, and today I found the opportunity to vent.

Yang Lan did not interrupt, and patiently listened to it, said: "Ms. Yu, we admire your courage, understand that in this process, you must have put a lot of effort, it is not easy!"

"However, our support fund will not be my word. I hope that it can really play its role and let more excellent children's books emerge! So there will be a fair and fair approval for our editorial department. Process, I can't interfere with the approval result..."

Speaking of this, Lu Benjie also nodded with Yang Lan.

Yu Ying sees Yang Hao. They misunderstood. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't mean this. I just told Wen Xuefeng that the editor has told me this. I am willing to follow the process, fair and good!"

Yes! For Yu Ying, she just hopes to have a real chance, not to hollow out her head and want to go back! If she is such a person who does not speak the principle, she is afraid to go out with some rich guests to spend the day!

"Ms. Yu is from Jiangcheng, right?" Lu Benjie interjected and asked.

"My daughter and I have settled in Jiangcheng." Yu Ying said quickly.

"Since in Jiangcheng, this is easy!" Lu Benjie said with a smile. "Since Ms. Yu has such a strong interest in children's literature, you can come to us on Friday afternoon. Every Saturday we will arrange editing for some new authors. In class, you also have an opportunity to interact with each other. This can be attended regardless of whether you have passed the final approval or not!"

“Friday afternoon...” Yu Yingyi began to be happy, but she was hesitant to think about the time. But in the end she bit her teeth and said, “I know, thank you, I will come over and learn when I have time!”

"Come on! I wish you success!" Yang Lan did not care too much, shook hands with Yu Ying, encouraged this young mother, and then left with Lu Benjie.
