Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 116 Fairy Tale Blue Ocean, Wenzhao Gong
When Song Chaoyang was a child in his previous life, he read many works by the Fairy Tale King.

There are many that are still fresh in my memory, such as:

"Shukebeta", "Pipilu", "Lu Xixi"...

In addition, I watched an interview with the Fairy Tale King in my previous life.

I know very clearly about his life.

He was a worker before, so his starting point was higher than Song Chaoyang's.

Then I started creating.

It was also in September this year.

His first published fairy tale was in the Journal of Children's Literature.

Later, this fairy tale was adapted into a comic book and began to be sold at a price of 8 cents per copy.

Although the plot of the first book is a bit green.

But in the 1980s, an era when children's books were scarce, his books still became bestsellers that year.

As soon as this book started, he made his first pot of gold.

Then there are new books being published continuously.

In a market with little competition, each of his models is a hit.

Reputation is something that comes first, step by step.

After accumulating fame, the content of his works is no longer important. As long as his name is on it, this book will definitely be sold out.

Plus various picture books and animations published around it.

Continuously accumulate wealth for him.

That just kind of snowballed.

Although his wealth later cannot be compared with that of businessmen.

But it’s definitely quite high in terms of writer’s income.

In 2012, he topped the Fortune Writers Rich List.

What impressed Song Chaoyang deeply was that in the interview, the Fairy Tale King said that after he became famous, he received countless letters from all over the country.

In order to store these letters, he bought several houses in the capital specifically to store the letters.

Later, when real estate began to take off, he discovered that the house he bought at that time had created hundreds of millions of value for himself.

Although when he bought the property, houses in the capital were not particularly expensive, but they still cost a lot of money.

It is conceivable that the money he earned from publishing physical books made his income at that time quite considerable.

In addition, his works can be said to be the childhood memories of people of the 1980s and 1990s.

Money and social status have been greatly improved.

When he was still a worker, who would have thought of his subsequent achievements?
Times create heroes!
Song Chaoyang took the newspaper and already had a plan in mind.

Today’s children’s books are a blue ocean.

Medium-length serialized fairy tales are a blue ocean within a blue ocean.

Most people have not seen the market for children's books.

Since others can do it, there is no reason why I can’t do it.

It has just been re-opened, and other opportunities have not yet come, so now that there is such an opportunity in front of me, of course I have to try it.

As long as it is successful, it will be faster than translation.

Translation is a one-time transaction, but the words written in fairy tales can help you make money over and over again.

Just do it, Song Chaoyang carefully looked at the specific requirements for collecting fairy tale manuscripts.

Then I sifted through it in my mind.

At first, he considered moving out death, fire, and sea directly.

But those stories were obviously too explosive in the 1979 market.

People can accept it, but publishers may not dare to accept it.

So Song Chaoyang decided to use domestic stories as his first stepping stone.

I thought about the cartoons and fairy tales I watched when I was a child.

Finally, I chose the story of "Calabash Brothers".

Song Chaoyang, who had read a lot of online literature in his previous life, would certainly not be bothered by the writing style when writing stories.

In one afternoon, he wrote a story of more than 10,000 words.

Use words to re-write the paper-cut film that only came out in 1988, using your own words.

After he finished writing, he found the little girl and asked her to read it first.

No matter what you write, it is ultimately up to the reader to judge whether it is good or not.

The little girl originally thought that Song Chaoyang had been busy translating things all afternoon.

It turned out that I was writing a fairy tale.

After planting the gourds given by the mountain god, children will grow out of them.

Pangolins can actually talk.

There are also snake spirits and scorpion spirits.

The background seems to be in the mountains.

The little girl was entranced as soon as she saw it.

However, the content of 1 words is indeed too little, and the little girl stopped abruptly when she saw the story unfold.

It made her feel a little scratching her head, wanting to know what the situation was going to be like.

"How was it? How do you feel about the writing?" Song Chaoyang went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and came out, asking the little girl.

The little girl said to him:
"Okay! Very interesting...but a little too short."

Song Chaoyang nodded:
"That's okay, if you find it interesting, I'll continue writing it tomorrow."

But the little girl immediately shook her head and said:
"Forget it, I won't watch it."

"What's wrong, doesn't it look good? Just now you said it was interesting." Song Chaoyang put down the teapot and looked at the little girl with some confusion.

Just listen to the little girl say to him:
"It's interesting, but it doesn't make any money writing this!"

"If you have this skill, third brother, you'd better translate."

"I would rather not read this story. I also hope you can translate more and make more money."

Hearing this, Song Chaoyang suddenly understood and felt a little bit dumbfounded:

"I'm making money too."

Hearing what Third Brother said, the little girl immediately asked curiously:

"Huh? Can this also make money? What kind of foreign story is it translated?" Song Chaoyang shook his head and said:

"Of course it's not a translated foreign story."

"It's a story in my own head."

"I plan to write the story and submit it to provincial children's magazines."

"If it is accepted, I will get a royalties."

"If the story sells well and I publish it as a stand-alone book, I can get another publishing fee."

"Every time I print an additional edition, I can collect it."

"This is a much better business than buying out translations."

Seeing the little girl's confused expression, Song Chaoyang explained:
"To put it simply, this is the story. If the sales are good, I can collect money repeatedly."

Hearing this, the little girl suddenly realized:

"Oh, then I understand."

Then she said to Song Chaoyang:
"Third brother, your story is really good. I think you can do it."

"Haha..." Song Chaoyang laughed and rubbed the little girl's head.

The first reader response was pretty good.

There is nothing wrong with your words.

Then it was time for dinner.

The second brother didn't come back.

He only said that he was going to have dinner at Qin's house.

Song Chaoyang knew that it was his second brother who was confessed by Qin Rou and was then taken to Qin's house for dinner.

It seems like the two of them will start dating.

Song Chaoyang showed Professor Qian and his wife the story he had written in the afternoon.

Professor Qian initially thought it was something translated.

Inexplicably, he wondered why this fairy tale had such a Chinese style, and asked Song Chaoyang if he had started translating texts from neighboring countries.

Until Song Chaoyang told them that this was all a story in his head.

I need to write it out and submit it to a fairy tale magazine.

Only then did they understand.

Unlike the little girl, they are more concerned about whether there is any insinuation in the story.

After carefully checking the content given to Song Chaoyang, he found that there was no touching, and he was relieved.

Being a novelist was not a very good profession more than ten years ago.

In their minds, Song Chaoyang's choice was somewhat risky.

There is always a time when you don’t know how to explain to these two people. After all, they do have a say.

It’s just that times have changed now, and many people haven’t felt it yet.

In the future, the standards for writing novels will become more and more relaxed.

What they are worried about now is completely unnecessary.

In the end, Professor Qian and his wife said that the story written by Song Chaoyang was indeed good.

It is very interesting and should be very attractive to children as a fairy tale.

However, I still reminded him to check it repeatedly when writing a story and be careful to avoid being caught.

Of course, Song Chaoyang readily agreed to Professor Qian's kind reminder.

After dinner, Lao Zhang announced his new achievements to everyone.

He can now control the yang energy in his body.

Dad Song Shouyi said that he also went through this stage back then.

The art of observing Qi is Yin.

Now it is Yang that controls the breath in the body.

After completing both of these, it can be considered as a formal introduction.

However, the use of Yang Qi is not as simple and crude as that of Lao Zhangtou, who controls the body's explosion.

It's about the use of magical instruments and the making of talismans.

Lao Zhangtou used it like this, which was equivalent to using his own body as a tool. If he continued to toss like this, he would be the one who got hurt.

After hearing Song Shouyi's warning, Lao Zhangtou was also shocked.

During the day today, he spent a lot of time practicing martial arts at the Taoist temple with his yang energy bursting out.

It felt like a superman.

Although he would feel weak for an hour or two after using it, he felt nothing.

In his explosive state, he seemed to be ten or twenty years younger.

That feeling made him very addictive.

Now that he knew he couldn't use it casually, he realized that this state did have side effects.

But then Song Shouyi also said that Lao Zhangtou is now in the body of a boy and will recover faster. There is no need to be particularly afraid, as long as he controls himself in the future.

The key lies in the use of cultivation instruments and the writing of talismans. This is the correct way to open up Yang Qi.

And the use of this yang energy is also the secret of Song Shouyi's ability to stay so young.

But those are all advanced health-preserving exercises later on.

Now Lao Zhangtou can't even practice to that place.

Seeing that Lao Zhangtou has started the next stage, Song Chaoyang also feels that he needs to work harder.

The cool air condensed between his eyebrows now attracted him not only to watch the air, but also to enhance his memory.

If I could recall all the contents of the test papers I had read in my previous life.

Then next year's college entrance examination, I will definitely be able to get perfect scores.

With such expectations, Song Chaoyang's enthusiasm for practicing martial arts increased.

So, he and Lao Zhangtou came to the cemetery again and began to practice and meditate on condensing the Qi between the brows.

Day after day.

time flies.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
