Chapter 429 Five fairy tales, located in China
The West Tower is indeed the West Tower.
According to Tongqushe: On the first day alone, "Xilou Works Collection" sold one million copies!
It’s not that one million copies is the limit, but in such a short period of time, Tongqushe only printed one million copies!
In other words: in one day, the whole country will be out of stock!
The number of Xilou fans is terrifying.
Of course, Tongqushe, as the largest publishing house in China, immediately issued an announcement: "Readers who like Xilou, please be patient. With our strong publishing capabilities, half a million copies will be on the shelves every day. "
After seeing the announcement, many people were a little bit agitated.
"Is Xilou consuming fans' feelings?"
"It's all the fans who pay for it, right?"
"Actually, if they were all Xilou's previous works, I would have no problem buying one, but there is actually a fairy tale mixed into it, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
"Yes, you are asking us to buy fairy tales in disguise, isn't that nonsense? I am already twenty years old, who likes to read fairy tales? This operation by Xilou is too destructive!"
"I wonder what the quality of the fairy tales written by Xilou is like?"
"What else can he do? He is indeed very accomplished in literature, but when it comes to writing fairy tales, 99% of them are nonsense."
"I estimate that except for the first day, there will be very few fans who will pay for it later."
"..."
Many people feel that if fans of Xilou pay for the book on the first day, no one will buy the book on the second day.
It’s also a very small portion to buy.
In order to take advantage of this wave of traffic, many Internet celebrities even started to visit major bookstores and prepared to conduct a live broadcast to tell everyone with facts that the sales of the West Building book fair the next day were very poor.
Pepper is such an anchor.
She arrived at the door of a bookstore early, turned on the live broadcast and shouted to the live broadcast room: "Family members, today we are going to see if there are any Xilou fans paying for his works. If you think so, you will get a deduction of 1, if you think there are not, you will be deducted 1. Deduct 2."
However, Pepper and the audience in the live broadcast room were soon dumbfounded.
When the bookstore opens.
She found that the bookstore, where few children usually came, was now seeing a steady stream of children coming.
The children range in age from three to ten years old.
Some came with adults and some came by themselves.
In the live broadcast room, netizens were stunned.
"Why so many children?"
"Yeah, a lot."
"Isn't it?"
"Could it be?!"
Many people think of a possibility, but some are not sure.
But soon they confirmed their suspicions.
I saw almost every child shouting excitedly at the salesperson when they entered the bookstore.
"Auntie, I want "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush"."
"Sister, I also want "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush"."
"I also want."
"I want I want!"
"..."
God Pen Horse?
At first, many people were still wondering what it was that made children so interested.
However, the anchor Xiaojiao quickly decrypted the secret: ""Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" is a fairy tale written by Xilou this time. It seems that everyone made a wrong bet just now. Today, many people came to buy Xilou's book. It's just... almost all It's Brother Kid. Could it be that this time Xilou's fairy tale works really won the hearts of children?
Eh? No... there seem to be several college students... Oh, I saw it wrong. They were not buying it, they were watching "Collection of Xilou Works". This is very consistent with the style of college students who have no money.
It seems that college students nowadays are still very good at learning. Although they have no money, they are curious about knowledge. I wonder if they are reading poetry or prose? Go over and take a look. "
A few minutes later.
Little Pepper's face was full of doubts about life: "Here, what kind of fairy tales are college students reading? And while they are reading, they are dancing and saying that they want to draw girls, queens, and handsome guys with eight-pack abs... there must be something wrong with them!"
That’s enough!
It was on this day.
Tongqushe issued an announcement again, and the 500,000 books on the second day were sold out in just two hours.
The whole network was shocked.
But the most shocking thing is not that, but the overwhelming news:
[Today, more than 70% of children purchased the West Building Collection]
[College students flocked to the bookstore in large numbers to watch the fairy tale of Moses Tower]
[Major bookstores are overflowing with children]
["Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" has become a new word in children's mouths]
Many people are still complaining about the feelings of fans in Xilou.
At a time when many netizens thought that not many fans would pay the bill the next day.
These news directly blinded everyone's eyes.
At the same time, almost all children in China were excited.
…
Beijing, a kindergarten.
The kindergarten teacher told the children about "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" in class, and the children in the class were so excited that they danced.
"Teacher, teacher, I also draw."
"Teacher, I want to become Ma Liang, the magic pen, and I want to help others."
"It sounds great, I want to listen to it again."
"Teacher, I want the magic pen in Ma Liang's hand."
…
Magic City, a certain preschool education center.
"Teacher, I want to listen to "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush"."
"But the teacher has already told me three times."
"I still want to listen, but I haven't heard enough."
"I want to listen too. The teacher will tell you again."
"Okay... Once upon a time, there was a child named Ma Liang."
…
Yangcheng, in a primary school.
The children were dancing with excitement.
"I am Ma Liang, the magic pen!"
"I'm the!"
"I'm going to draw a big monster."
"I'll draw a plane and defeat your monster."
"The pen in my hand is the magic pen, not yours."
…
Pengcheng, in a certain family.
My five-year-old son read "Collection of Xilou's Works" over and over again, of course "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush".
The parents next to me were shocked. They had never seen their son so obsessed with a fairy tale. Even after his son read it, he immediately ran to his father's study, found his father's brush, and said excitedly: "I want to learn to draw, and when I grow up, I want to become Ma Liang!"
The parents were stunned.
Because they know very well that their sons used to hate painting the most.
How can a fairy tale have such an amazing effect?
Can you even change your son's preferences?
…
In China, in countless cities and places, countless children have been fascinated by a fairy tale.
A stationery store owner even said: Today’s writing brushes are out of stock!
Many children were dancing with a brush, shouting that they wanted to be Ma Liang, draw beautiful birds, the sun, and draw all the beautiful things in their hearts.
Fire!
Yes, Xilou's "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" became so popular.
The fire is so sudden!
The fire is so incredible!
On the Internet, comments have already exploded.
"Oh my God, all the children knew about Ma Liang overnight."
"Every kid here has a writing brush!"
"Oh my god, isn't it scary?"
"Wherever there are children, you can hear them talking about the magic pen Ma Liang."
"Crazy! The kids are crazy!"
"One Ma Liang made them all fascinated."
"This is too scary. Now children don't want superheroes or puppy Beibei. They all want a magic pen like Ma Liang's hand. Because with the magic pen, they can draw all the most powerful things. .”
"..."
For the shock of netizens, parents were surprised again and again.
Many parent groups are boiling over.
"I told my son that he couldn't draw, and it was useless to ask for a magic pen. Now my son immediately pulled me to take a painting class. You know, he didn't like drawing the most before."
"My daughter is the same way. She started painting seriously early in the morning."
"It's amazing. A fairy tale has more impact on my son than half a year of my teaching."
"To be honest, let alone a child, even I have fantasized about having a magic pen."
"..."
certainly.
Behind the popularity is the sluggishness of the entire industry.
Literary Circle.
The eyes of all the big guys almost bulged out.
Isn't it?
Xilou can actually write fairy tales? And it’s written so well?
But compared to the literary world, the most shocking thing is the fairy tale world.
In the world of fairy tales at this moment, every fairy tale writer and fairy tale king is at a loss, and their eyes are full of absurdity.
They never dreamed that the first fairy tale written by Xilou, a person who had never been involved in the field of fairy tales, would be so popular, sinking countless children.
In fact, many fairy tale writers read "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" as soon as it came out. I think it is an excellent fairy tale in every aspect.
But everyone still didn't expect that "Ma Liang" would create such a huge popularity among children.
"Incredible."
"The West Tower is so beautiful."
"I have written fairy tales all my life, but there is no fairy tale that children like so much."
"Don't talk about you. Looking at the whole of China, there are not many fairy tales that have reached such a height."
“There are even so many college students who love it.”
"..."
A fairy tale made the whole Internet see the magic of West Tower again.
At this time, many people remembered the fear that they had been dominated by Xilou a few years ago.
fairy tale?
What kind of!
Xilou can also control it.
For such a legendary figure, many people think of one person: Wuyan.
"I discovered that Xilou and Wuyan are both mythical figures in their respective fields."
"Yes, Wu Yan is a great figure in the field of music and He Xilou is also a great figure in the field of literature."
"Actually, I feel that West Tower is better. After all, literature is much more important than music."
"You're right, Xilou is indeed more powerful than Wuyan. In ancient times, no matter how powerful Wuyan was, he was just a musician, but Xilou is definitely a famous literary giant."
"It's just that now we know that Wu Yan is Wang Mo, but we don't know anything about Xi Lou's identity. Who is Xi Lou?"
"This person in Xilou is too mysterious. There are no clues at all."
"..."
As the reputation of Xilou rose again, many people began to explore its identity.
Everyone only knows that Xilou's voice is almost exactly the same as Wang Mo's, but now almost no one connects the two. Because on the Internet, it is so easy to simulate other people's voices. It can be achieved with an ordinary software.
So almost everyone thinks that Xilou must have imitated Wang Mo's voice because of Wang Mo's fame.
It’s impossible for Xilou to still be Wang Mo, right?
This is so absurd, even more absurd than the sun rising from the west!
And at this time.
Capital, He Zhixing's home.
Wang Mo has been staying here for several days.
At this moment, He Zhixing was staring at Wang Mo, with eyes that wanted to dig open his head to see what was in his head.
Wang Mo coughed: "Mr. He, stop looking, it makes me feel embarrassed."
He Zhixing then said: "Now I doubt whether your kid can do magic. I originally thought that your fairy tale was at best of good quality. But now it seems that it has a high probability of becoming one of China's top ten classics. Fairy tale. As for its creativity and appeal to children, it may not be inferior to the ranks of classic fairy tales in the world. How did you get such a long head? It doesn’t matter if a random song can set off huge waves on the Internet, now it’s Even a random fairy tale can drive children crazy."
Wang Mo smiled.
Thought: Just a fairy tale? "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen" is one of the most classic Chinese fairy tales.
Children in China, who doesn’t know the magic pen Ma Liang? Who doesn't know about the magic paintbrush? Who hasn’t fantasized about having a magical paintbrush after reading this fairy tale?
casual?
impossible!
He Zhixing sighed a few times: "I have to say that this fairy tale appeared very timely, overcoming the pressure of rectification in the entire industry. At the same time, it also let parents know: In China today, there are also people who can create Good fairy tales do not only have to be dominated by foreign countries. However, it is a bit difficult to change the inherent impression of parents with just one fairy tale. I think we should take advantage of the current opportunity to let domestic fairy tale writers publish more fairy tales as soon as possible. It’s just that it’s a bit difficult for them to write good fairy tales when they are in a hurry.”
beside.
Tongtong, who was listening with great interest, interjected: "Grandpa, since those fairy tale writers can't write it, why don't we just ask my brother to write a few more?"
"Ahem."
He Zhixing glanced at Tongtong and said with a smile: "Tongtong, although my brother is very powerful, he is not able to create a good fairy tale easily. It takes a long time to prepare."
"I don't believe it! My brother is the best!"
Tongtong snorted and looked at Wang Mo, her big eyes twitching: "Brother, is that right? Can you write a few more fairy tales? Tongtong wants to listen, but Tongtong hasn't heard enough."
He Zhixing was helpless: "Tongtong, stop making trouble! Don't force brother Wang Mo, he can't do it!"
ha?
Wang Mo straightened his back. The last thing a man can hear is no.
He coughed and then said: "Mr. He, actually... it's not impossible."
He Zhixing: "???"
After a while.
He Zhixing said blankly: "Are you... serious?"
…
Children's Fun Club.
Editor-in-chief Yang Yiwen finally changed from the sad face of the past few days to a smile.
"When I see Xilou in the future, I have to kowtow to him a few times."
he thought.
If it weren't for Xilou this time, they don't know how much loss they would have suffered. But Xilou just used a fairy tale to abruptly change the situation.
Of course, a fairy tale is not enough for Tongqushe to recover all its losses, but at least its reputation is back.
As for losses?
It has reached an acceptable range.
At this moment, an editor-in-chief walked in with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Mr. Yang, we originally thought that after the popularity of "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" in Xilou became popular, it would stimulate the enthusiasm of other fairy tale writers, and then usher in a wave of fairy tales. Peak. But the fact is... I just called several fairy tale writers who had requested manuscripts before, and they all gave up writing manuscripts. Even Teacher He Weihua said that they would not be able to contribute manuscripts in the short term. "
"Why?!"
When Yang Yiwen heard this, his face instantly turned ugly.
The editor-in-chief said: "I asked why, and they all said that Xilou's fairy tales are too classic. If the fairy tales they wrote before were published, it would be completely embarrassing. So they planned to re-create them, otherwise they would be embarrassed to submit."
Yang Yiwen: "Teacher He Weihua said the same thing?"
The editor said: "Yes, Teacher He Weihua's assistant said that after reading "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen", he tore up the two fairy tales he had carefully created for several months, then locked himself in the study and closed the door to thank guests."
"this……"
Yang Yiwen did not expect that Xilou's "Ma Liang" was so excellent that it would put all these fairy tale writers under great psychological pressure.
This is trouble.
His original idea was to take advantage of the fairy tale craze set off by Xilou to let Tongqushe collect a group of fairy tale writers' works, and then immediately launch a new fairy tale collection to combine "Puppy Beibei" and other works. All the losses caused by fairy tale rectification were recovered. But he didn't expect that because "Ma Liang" was so good, even fairy tale kings like He Weihua backed down.
really.
Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
Fortunately, the blessings outweigh the disasters.
Just when Yang Yiwen was in trouble again.
"Didi didi~~~"
Penguin message sounds.
He took a closer look and quickly opened the message.
It was from Xilou: "Mr. Yang, are you there?"
Yang Yiwen: "Yes, yes."
Xilou: "I sent you another email, please accept it."
After sending the message, he went offline.
Yang Yiwen sat in front of the computer and didn't react for a moment.
Sent another email?
Could it be?
Isn't it?
Yang Yiwen had an idea in his mind, but he thought it was too incredible. What he was thinking was: when Xilou sent an email to himself, there could be no other content than a submission!
"Did Xilou submit another fairy tale?"
He couldn't believe it.
After all, even the king of fairy tales, Mr. He Weihua, couldn't create a second fairy tale in such a short period of time. Especially now that "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" is in the spotlight, if the quality of the second fairy tale submitted by Xilou is far inferior to it, the effect may be counterproductive.
Just when he was thinking wildly.
Ding dong~~~
A prompt pops up in the lower right corner: You have received a letter in the mail from "West Tower".
Yang Yiwen took a deep breath and clicked on the email.
The next second.
"Holy crap!!!"
The entire Children's Fun Club heard the screams coming from the editor-in-chief's office.
The office at the moment.
Yang Yiwen was stunned for a long time.
What on earth did he see? It was so shocking for him, a person who had experienced strong winds and waves.
Follow his gaze and fixate on the computer mailbox.
I saw that in the mailbox, there was not a fairy tale submission from Xilou as Yang Yiwen had guessed.
But four!
Yes, four in total!
Chapter One: "Three Monks".
Chapter 2: "Monkey Fishing for the Moon".
The third article: "The Crow Drinks Water".
Chapter 4: "Scarecrow".
Looking at the four fairy tales in the mailbox, Yang Yiwen was completely confused. In fact, even if there was only one submission from Xilou in his mailbox, it would be enough to shock him for a long time.
Four articles?
What's going on?
It takes others a year and a half to finally create a fairy tale, but you, Xilou, submitted four stories at once?
Your family is engaged in wholesale business!
After a long time, Yang Yiwen shuddered all over and came back to his senses.
Then, he hurriedly and carefully downloaded the four fairy tales, preparing to review them slowly.
…
He family.
He Zhixing was also stunned after watching Wang Mo send the email: "You... submitted four fairy tales at once?"
"Um."
Wang Mo nodded.
These four fairy tales are all works carefully selected by him in the system. Each article is a representative fairy tale from China in the past, and is deeply loved by children.
In fact, there are many more classic Chinese fairy tales, but none of them are as easy to understand and as profound in educational significance as these.
Just now he thought the quantity was a bit small, but after seeing He Zhixing's expression, Wang Mo thought it should be enough for the time being. After all, he did not dare to do anything too shocking.
Wang Mo's original plan was to submit one fairy tale at a time.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
Because he tasted the sweetness in "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" a few days ago.
An article called "Ma Liang" brought him more than three million reputations in less than three days! ! !
So if he publishes four fairy tales this time, how much reputation will it bring him?
I get excited just thinking about it.
Sure enough, the new market is the great treasury for harvesting reputation!
He originally thought that after the last large-scale harvesting of "Lonely Brave", the children's reputation should be almost harvested, but now it seems that "Lonely Brave" only harvested less than ten percent of the children at most. One's reputation.
Compared to songs, children... after all, prefer fairy tales.
…
outside world.
These days, the turmoil caused by a fairy tale "Ma Liang" in Xilou is still going on.
It can be said that even Wang Mo did not expect that children would like this fairy tale so much.
No... there are also college students.
Wang Mo was shocked, okay? Because of the news from Yang Yiwen, "Ma Liang" is as popular among college students as it is among children. This fairy tale can spread so quickly, and college students are indispensable.
What's going on?
Why do these college students like everything?
No taboos? !
Even in this meme-filled Internet society, "Ma Liang" has become a hot word.
However, to the regret of children and college students, Xilou only wrote one fairy tale.
In the opinion of many people, Xi Lou most likely wrote this fairy tale intentionally after being invited by Tongqu Club. After all, it is too unrealistic for a literary man like Xi Lou to become a fairy tale writer.
"Hey, I guess I won't be able to see the fairy tales in the West Tower anymore."
"Nonsense, can Xilou keep writing fairy tales?"
"Even if I write it, I probably won't be able to recreate the glory of "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush". This fairy tale is too classic."
"..."
Some people lamented.
Someone sighed.
There are even many children who have been pestering their parents: "I want to read more fairy tales from 'Grandpa Xilou'. Please hurry up and let Grandpa Xilou write more fairy tales."
These parents smiled bitterly. Where do you ask them to find more fairy tales?
It is an accident that Xilou can write a fairy tale.
It is estimated that there will be no second chapter in the future.
Just when everyone was filled with emotion.
Tongqushe once again issued an announcement: "Big news: West Building launches the second wave of fairy tales, "Three Monks", "Monkey Fishing for the Moon", "Crow Drinking Water" and "Scarecrow" are coming!"
Below the announcement are four exquisite fairy tale illustrations.
The first illustration: A temple is located in the mountains, and a young monk is carrying water at the foot of the mountain.
The second illustration: Several monkeys stand upside down in a row and go deep into the pool to fish for the moon.
The third illustration: A crow is picking up a stone and placing it into a half-filled bottle of water next to it.
The fourth illustration: In the endless fields, a scarecrow is standing alone.
Four illustrations correspond to four fairy tales.
All are brand new works from Xilou!
Whole network.
Countless netizens and people inside and outside the industry felt their scalps go numb when they saw this scene.
