Chapter 19 What is the magazine missing?
Li Fan, who was at the gate of the yard, felt happy when he saw the little girl's aggrieved look.
This little girl is usually neither big nor small. It is rare that she is so anxious for her brother.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back. Hey, don't believe it, the story above was really written by me."
Li Fan put the hoe aside and walked towards his parents and said.
When the little girl saw Li Fan, her eyes lit up. She ran to Li Fan and said, "Brother, you are back. Uncle and the others don't believe it."
Li Fan rubbed the little girl's head and said, "They will believe it."
The mother looked at her son and asked suspiciously: "Did you really write it? When did your son learn to write fairy tales?"
Dad didn’t believe it either: “Your child couldn’t even write a composition well when he was a child, but now he can write fairy tales?”
Well, Li Fan suddenly burst into tears. Is it true that I couldn't even write a composition well before? But whether the composition is good or not has nothing to do with whether or not you can write fairy tales.
"Dad, Mom. Why did I lie to you? I still have royalties from others. If you don't believe me, take a look."
After speaking, Li Fan handed the phone to his parents to see.
The manuscript fee was paid two days ago, totaling 8,000 yuan. The five stories Li Fan wrote this time are all short stories, with a total of about 8,000 words.
When my parents saw the bank card information in the text message, they believed that their son could really write fairy tales.
But soon, I was shocked again by the numbers in the card.
My mother asked: "Why are the royalties so high? Is writing fairy tales so profitable?"
Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Mom, it's not writing fairy tales that makes money. It's writing good fairy tales that makes money. I get a lot of royalties because I write well. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, my mother doesn't understand. You write well. Look at how proud you are." My mother couldn't help but want to hit Li Fan on the head with her hand.
Li Fan giggled twice and quickly avoided it.
At this time, the father on the side said: "I saw you typing on the computer two days ago. Is this what you were writing?"
"Yes." Li Fan replied.
Now, my parents finally believed it.
"Come on, let me see how good the fairy tales written by my son are. Linlin, show the book to your uncle." Dad said happily.
The little girl handed the magazine to her father, hugged Li Fan's legs, and said excitedly: "Brother, you are awesome. I'm going to tell my classmates tomorrow to see how they envy me."
"You little girl, you are showing off, you are not doing it right, you know? You should go and tell your teacher Su, haha."
Li Fan was about to have some fun with the little girl when he suddenly heard his mother say: "My dear, since you make so much money writing books, will you still farm in the future?"
Li Fan had thought about this question for a long time and replied: "Yes, Mom, I will write books while farming. When I get tired of farming, I will write books. When I get tired of writing, I will go to the fields to do some activities.
.How wonderful this kind of life would be!”
Mom nodded and turned to cook.
"Dad, what do you think?"
Li Fan asked when he saw that his father had finished reading.
Dad threw the book to Li Fan and said calmly: "Well, it's not bad. From now on, I have to write better and better."
Although he said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his eyebrows.
"Haha. This dad." Li Fan watched his insincere dad leave, and suddenly felt very happy inexplicably.
After a while, Li Fan opened the magazine in his hand and prepared to take a closer look.
This was mailed to me by Fun Kids today.
Well, the quality of the book is very good, and Li Fan is very satisfied.
Looking at the article he wrote in the magazine, this guy was very proud. This was the first time in his life that he published something in a magazine.
After being proud, I suddenly felt a little emotional, past and present life! I was stunned for a moment, a little lost in thought.
After a while, Li Fan came back to his senses.
"I wonder how the sales of this issue are going?"
I roughly flipped through the magazine, and overall it was pretty good. But Li Fan always felt that something was missing, but for a while, he couldn't remember what was missing.
This feeling of clearly grasping something but still not being able to figure it out made Li Fan very unhappy.
When I was having a headache, I saw that the little girl had already taken the magazine and was flipping through it randomly.
With a thought in his heart, Li Fan asked: "Girl, do you like reading this magazine?"
The little girl felt a little strange when she heard the old man's question. She thought for a while and replied: "I like to listen to the stories in it, but I don't like to read it myself. There are too many words in it."
"Don't like reading by yourself? There are too many words in it?" Li Fan pondered the little girl's words and suddenly had an idea.
"Haha, I get it. I get it." Li Fan shouted excitedly.
Li Fan suddenly shouted, which made his parents and the little girl look down upon him. Didn't you just publish a few fairy tales? Is it necessary to be so excited? I thought you were really that calm just now.
Li Fan looked at the disdainful looks of the three people and felt a little depressed. I am excited, but not for the reason you think.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you.
Ignoring the gazes of the three people, Li Fan said to the little girl mysteriously: "Girl, don't you like watching by yourself? Hehe, I have a way to make you like watching by yourself."
The little girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked: "Brother, what is the solution? Tell me quickly."
"Hehe, I won't tell you yet, but you will know in a few days." This girl is often of different sizes, so Li Fan finally caught the opportunity to whet this little girl's appetite.
"I don't, good brother, you tell me." The little girl shook Li Fan's arm and used the ultimate trick: acting like a baby.
"Okay, okay, Linlin, be good. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't explain it clearly. You have to see it for yourself to understand."
"Humph, forget it if you don't tell me. My brother is a bad person." The little girl pouted and ran away.
What exactly is missing from the magazine? Yes, comics.
Li Fan discovered that no matter whether it is Fun Children or Sunshine Children, there are no comics in all the children's magazines in the world.
The entire magazine is full of text, and there are very few illustrations. It would be strange if children like to read it.
The word "manga" first originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, but at that time "manga" was just the name of a kind of water bird. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that "manga" slowly took shape.
After hundreds of years of development through the embryonic, exploratory, mature, and refined stages, the comic book flourished in the 21st century.
The prototype of comics in this world also appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, but for some unknown reason, it is still in its infancy.
I just don’t know how the comics in the island country are developing?
Thinking of this, Li Fan felt excited. If comics were introduced in interesting children's magazines, then...hehe.
But soon, Li Fan discovered another practical problem.
That is, he can't draw at all.
You see, this is fine.
"It seems that we can only rely on the lottery system to see if we can draw out a comic technique or something."
Li Fan found that he needed too many things now.
The fairy tale has been published, but I don’t know how much the reputation value has increased.
Well, I'll go in and have a look later.
Chapter completed!
