717 Pippi Shrimp and New Works (4/4, Adding More Rewards for A Little Air)

Chapter 717 Pippi Shrimp and New Works (44, adding more rewards for a little bit of air)

The adaptation of the fairy tale has progressed!

And this time it is not a leather bag company that wants to deceive 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 it is also willing to make concessions on surrounding copyrights. .

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 actually painters but technology. Yang Yi used to watch children's animations with Xixi. After watching real animation movies and serialized animation dramas, he realized that the Chinese animation industry is doing nothing. 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 at the medium level, but their works are good. They maintain one or two new works every year. The box office and word of mouth are high. competitor!

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 and did not have a good rest at home. Instead, after taking Yu Xiaowei to school, she took the bus to Tingshan District with her bag.

"Hello, how can 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 composure now, but she is still a little nervous. 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 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 there is still no bottom in her heart, Yu Ying is eager to get the support fund, so that she will have the money to buy a better house for her mother and daughter and improve her life.

Even... She also longed 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.

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

She was very tired from work, and she had to lie down at the desk when she came back, writing in the dim light. Yu Ying had been sleeping on the bed for the past two weeks.

With great expectations, Yu Yingcai was 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 mailbox for manuscripts. But, there is no need for you to come to Jiangcheng yourself!"

Yu Ying quickly 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 would like to consult with the editor of the foundation. "

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 left to us to operate , so the editor of our publishing house is also the editor of the foundation.”

After a while, a middle-aged man with a bald head but a very kind attitude came out, shook hands with Yu Ying, and said, "Hello, I'm Wen Xuefeng, the editor of Sahara Publishing House."

Wen Xuefeng heard Yu Ying say that in addition to submitting articles, there are still some questions he wanted 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.

"Your question, in fact, many authors called and consulted some time ago." Wen Xuefeng said with a smile after listening to Yu Ying's question, "First of all, let me clarify that this fund is a private support fund set up by our boss. , of course, the purpose is to allow more excellent children's books to emerge."

"So we will not run this support fund with the selfishness of trying to win new authors or copyright. When reviewing the manuscript, we will also use the outline you provided and the content of the first three chapters as the object of investigation. Very excellent works, we will provide financial support, and then there will be some free writing training, and even help you turn your works into picture books 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 the copyright for your work. In principle, we encourage authors to register the copyright first. Submit to us again! 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 deputy editor and editor-in-chief. Of course, At this time, after the review of the five editors in charge, as long as there are no major problems with this work, you can get a support fund of 10,000 yuan, and the deputy editor has the right to determine 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. If your work wants to get 40 to 30,000 yuan The support fund of 50,000 yuan 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 smiled and said: "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 was afraid of exams since she was a child, felt a lot of psychological pressure. She was a little 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 get some fresh air.

Just walking to the corner of the corridor, Yu Ying heard the conversation between two men.

"I am 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 smiled and patted He patted Lu Benjie on the shoulder and said.

"The second possibility is relatively small. The owner of Pippi Shrimp has a rich family and is 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, these are two words!"

"Really, I think your level of creation 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 work as "Prison Break", But after reading it, I felt that it was 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's 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 eavesdropped is naturally a very unpleasant 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 and angry at the moment. He made such a big mess in front of the boss, and it was his lax management when he was investigated!

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 children's books. Author Support Fund."

"You should go to the editorial department when you submit your manuscript! 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, but I saw Yang Yi. Now, I want to ask him some questions."

In fact, Yu Ying never thought to confirm 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 a bit, and he heard that the other party was an author who came to contribute, and it seemed that he was a married young mother, so 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, not knowing that there were some problems with her wording.

Yang Yi didn't care, he said with a smile: "Of course not, I'm selfish, I said in an interview before, I hope there will be more children's books and excellent works in the market! Are you a mother too? Then you They should also be able to understand my thoughts. I think my daughter and my son will have books suitable for them 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 am..." After Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she excitedly told Yang Yi and Lu Benjie about herself these days. The journey from hesitation to plucking up the courage to try.

Yu Ying also suppressed 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 is 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 and just approvals. process, I cannot interfere with the approval result..."

Speaking of which, Lu Benjie also nodded to Yang Yi.

Seeing that Yang Yi and the others had misunderstood, Yu Ying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean it that way. Wen Xuefeng heard that the editor has already told me this. I'd like to follow the procedure and 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 it's in Jiangcheng, it's 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 for some new writers for free. In class, it also provides 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 overjoyed at first, but hesitated when she thought of the time issue, 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.
