Chapter 1458

Starlight group is going to enter the children's book market. The news spread throughout the paper media industry before the end of the conference. Not only children's books, but also several other fields are concerned.

Aoli quickly joined the starlight group, and Li Ze and others also joined the starlight group. A children's book magazine has gathered the top painters and fairy tale writers in China, which can only be described as a shock to the children's book industry.

"Although there are 100 children's magazines in China, none of the painters in these 100 magazines has a concave gold content, and they don't know how much they spent."

"Fairy tale writers are also very good. Li Ze and they have all gone. It's said that starlight group is still recruiting writers for children's books. It costs so much to make a magazine. Does this magazine have to sell at a sky high price?"

"High selling domestic children's magazines It sounds like... "

There are comments and ridicules in the industry, but they all smile on a small scale. When it comes to the dinner party with many people, they won't say much. After all, the strength of today's high cold will make people afraid.

In terms of news, Gao Leng didn't promote it. It seems that everything has been quiet since the end of the meeting. With the issue number in hand, everything worked.

Aoli came to Gao Leng's office and held the final inaugural negotiation, talking about salary, position and magazine trend.

"I think it's more appropriate for children's journals to be published once a month in the early stage. Although we have many authors, we need to run in the early stage and guarantee the creation cycle." Aoli hands the materials to Gao Leng, which is written with her ideas for children's magazines.

High cold turned over.

"28-32 pages, very thin."

"The age range of the journal is from 3 to 5 years old. For children of this age range, the thickness is more appropriate."

"Imported excellent books, each issue of a small story, a long story, long story series. There's only one story we've written ourselves. "

"Import excellent stories, one issue of a small story, the price can be a little lower, just give the contribution fee. A long story is serialized so that children can watch it this month. If they want to know what's next, they need to buy the next issue. As for why we have only one story to write, it is because if we want to make high-quality products, it takes at least three people to draw a story, and it takes a month for a story to draw more than ten pictures. "

In the end, Aoli is an expert in this field. She has thought of many details that Gao Leng has never thought of.

Including the type of paper, in addition to the cover is matte coated paper, inside the paper is very low gloss, will not hurt the eyes of light paper.

"Although this kind of paper doesn't look high-end, it actually protects children's eyes. Three year old children can't see too gorgeous and have more colors, but it can't be too bright. Otherwise, it's easy for them to get tired of colors and have an impact on their aesthetics. We don't like it." She explained.

Those beautiful looking "boutique magazines" outside are the dirtiest.

Children's eyes are different, and what they really need is also different, which only experts know.

"Children's journals should invite experts like you to do it. Who can do it now? What good magazine can be produced? " The high cold recognition nodded: "you are the editor in chief, you has the final say."

Aoli was embarrassed to smile: "I thought about the name of our children's magazine. What do you think of Empire doll? I know, now many children's magazines will write the names of champion baby, science baby, art baby and so on, so it's easy to sell. But I think since we are going to do the best children's magazine in our empire, it's called Empire doll. "

"Empire doll..." Gao Leng nodded: "OK."

Aoli didn't expect Gao Leng to agree so soon. She didn't react for a long time.

"how many pages do you have in children's magazines? What columns do you have in it? You and your team are experts in this field. Has the final say. Let's talk about your salary and position. " Gao Leng handed over a contract.

"Three million a year?" Aoli looked up in disbelief: "so much?"

Although Aoli is the top painter of the imperial children's magazine, it is embarrassing to say that her annual income is not high, and even her income is far less than those of online comic novelists.

Sometimes it takes her a month to draw a cartoon of children's fairy tales. It's common for her to draw for more than ten days. She can get thousands of yuan at most. Thousands of yuan is not enough for life, so top children's cartoonists like her will draw excellent works, such as Andersen's fairy tales and so on. But she doesn't do it because it's not a masterpiece. With so many stories in Andersen's fairy tales, she has to finish it in ten years.

And those small workshops, can be completed in a month, with the computer just draw.

"What's the mess in this painting?"?! When reading the storybook, I look at the pictures to improve the children's art appreciation ability. This kind of painting has no aesthetic feeling. How can it work? " Every time Aoli saw a mess of Andersen's fairy tales books all over the market, she couldn't get angry.

We all say that there are artists in France. That's because there are art exhibitions everywhere in France. Every week, many artists show their works. What children see are real works of art. Children's books are the first window for children to see art. However, 90% of our children's books, especially public children's books, are rubbish.But this 90% rubbish makes the economy of Aoli, a top-level illustrator of children's stories, not to mention in trouble, at least not get due respect.

"The editor in chief of the best children's magazine in the Empire, with an annual salary of three million, is not much." Gao sneered: "you can continue to create your illustration of Andersen's story series. You can do it in the company. I will allow it."

Aoli stroked the contract and moved her lips: "but my salary is so high, and Li Ze's salary is also very high. Can this magazine make a profit?"

"Look at you, here you are again." Gao sneered: "as I have said, you are engaged in creation for children. You don't need to calculate profits. Profits are considered by laymen like me. You just need to make a good magazine

With tears in her eyes, Aoli nodded: "I've lived for 50 years, and I hope the Empire has a good children's magazine."

"You can talk about all the good stories abroad that you think are good. Our children's magazine should let the mothers who don't have the money to buy so many imported good books, and let their children only need one of our magazines to do the best in the world. "

"What's the price?"

"12 yuan."

Aoli widened her eyes and blurted out: "12 yuan, 12 yuan, we We're not rich... "

"Don't think about profits." Gao said with a sneer, "look at you, here you are again."

Aoli had to shut her mouth with joy and worry. I'm glad that someone really wants to be a good children's magazine. I'm worried about how to make a profit?

"Brother Jia..." A flattering voice.

"Tut." A voice of impatience.

"Brother Rujia."

"Well." The impatient voice sounded more satisfied.

In a study with four walls and three walls covered with bookshelves and books on the bookshelves, there is a large tea table. A 30-year-old man with a paper fan and glasses, who looks like a white faced scholar, is slowly tasting tea. He looks elegant and extraordinary.

This is brother Ru Jia, the leader of the public book publishing industry, which has 200 public book workshops and publishes 1000 or 2000 children's books every year.

Confucian businessman is the title given by brother Jia himself. He is a Confucian businessman. Therefore, in his daily life, he especially likes to be called brother Ru Jia. It sounds like he has a Confucian name, which is full of Confucian elegance. In fact, his surname is Yu Jia. When he was a child, he had a nickname. People changed his name. Yu Jia became a turtle, and the turtle became a bastard.

That's a bad nickname.

Therefore, after making Tongshu, Yu Jia slowly asked people around him to call him brother Jia, and then slowly, some people always said that he was a Confucian businessman who made Tongshu, so he called him brother Ru Jia.

This is a good name, much better than the turtle.

"Starlight group has run a children's magazine and invited Aoli. They say they want to make excellent books..." The little brother beside said with a smile.

"I knew that." Ru Jia frowned.

"Brother Rujia, it's said that Gao Leng offered Aoli an annual salary of two or three million yuan, and several other famous artists, with a total annual salary of eight or nine million yuan. With the investment of some other personnel, it's said that all the other painters are graduates of the Central Academy of fine arts, which is very expensive."

Compared with the scale of five people in a workshop, writing, painting, typesetting and publishing, and ten books a month, Gao Leng's scale is really amazing: it's the scale of domestic first-line publishers.

"Mengde, no Qiang..." After drinking a cup of tea, brother Jia, a Confucian businessman, said something like this. When he heard this, he was dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Damn, no disease." Brother Jia, the Confucian businessman, looked at my younger brother contemptuously.

"Did I say something wrong?" I'm at a loss.

"No culture." Brother Jia, a Confucian businessman, looked at his younger brother in a literati manner. The translator said: "mengde, no Qiang, which means, fuck, no disease..."

"Yes, it is. And I heard that their pricing will not be very high. It's pure illness for such a large group of people to make a magazine, one a month, and sell one for so little money! " The younger brother shook his head and looked like the elder looking at the younger generation. Speaking of this, he gave a thumbs up: "you are so refined that you even use ancient prose to curse people. I'm really stunned by this illiterate person." My little brother gave a thumbs up.

"Read more, whether it's ancient Chinese or English." Brother Jia, a Confucian businessman, raised his voice: "if you have more knowledge, you will not be like you. If you don't understand this, you will not understand that

It took me a minute to realize the meaning of "one startled, one stunned, one stunned".

Thumbs up: "ouch, my mother, brother Rujia, your English is very good!"

Brother Jia, the Confucian businessman, gave a faint smile, which was very modest.

"Mr. Gao, as a children's magazine, should be his. He's a boutique. We're all friends. The well doesn't cross the river, and it doesn't block my way of making money."

"Yes, he is his magazine. We publish our public books. Well water doesn't violate river water. When it comes to public books, who in the industry doesn't know that you have published the most public children's books in our empire? You are the big man in this field My younger brother flattered me very well: "we have published hundreds of Andersen's fairy tales alone! Different versions"Organisms, there are hundreds of millions of forms, there are more than 15000 species of ants alone." Brother a, a Confucian businessman, said with an educational attitude: "Andersen's fairy tales are such a classic story. We want to produce ten thousand versions of it! To make our contribution to the story of our empire. "

Rujiage, who drags English in bulk and ancient prose in bulk, doesn't know that Gao Leng doesn't intend to go with him. The secret investigation team led by fat man has come to his workshop street, where there are dozens of such small workshops for public children's books.
