Interstellar Kindergarten

Chapter 118

"What good news?" Xu Yi asked.

"A publishing house has taken a fancy to your kindergarten story." The section chief said.

"What?" Xu Yi said in disbelief.

"A children's book publisher wants to publish your short story!"

"Really?" Xu Yi didn't quite believe it.

"Will I still lie to you?"

The section chief never lied to Xu Yi.

Then he told Xu Yi in detail about the publishing house that the live broadcast of the children's story contest on Saturday was very popular, and they were ranked in the top few on the live broadcast platform, which attracted a lot of attention and naturally attracted the publication of children's books the eyes of the society.

More than one publishing house took a fancy to the three stories of Red Star Kindergarten. They went to the Children's Channel to watch the edited version of the competition on Sunday and learned some feedback from the audience.

They all thought that 1413 Planet owned the copyright of the three stories of Red Star Kindergarten, so they contacted 1413 Planet Preschool Education Department early on Monday morning, explained their intentions, and gave a quotation. meaning.

Xu Yi was a little dazed.

publishing?

The three stories he wrote could be published?

This is something he never thought of. He really just wanted to save money, and then took the children to participate in the competition, but now someone wants to publish his three short stories. Asked the question he was most concerned about: "How much is the royalty?"

The section chief answered: "Each publishing house offers different prices. Let me tell you about a publishing house with a good reputation."

"Okay, you say."

"The name of this publishing house is Children's Star Publishing House. It mainly publishes children's books. It has also cooperated with our early childhood education department many times. Other publishing houses have defaulted on royalties. They have never appeared."

"That's very good."

"Well, the price they gave is quite reasonable. They mean that "I Want to Grow Up", "Use Magic to Defeat Magic" and "Flowers, Plants, Trees, Fish, Birds and Insects" will be published together in one book."

"Not enough, the story is very short, it can be finished in two pages."

"Don't you have illustrations? Children like the illustrations of "Flowers, Trees, Fish, Birds and Insects". At that time, Nemo was screaming and looking at them carefully. "I Want to Grow Up" and "Use Magic to Defeat Magic" should be Are there illustrations, too?"

"Yes." This promise is indeed there. In order to let the children better understand the core of the story, he drew a lot of paintings, and he drew each story several times. Choose the best few paintings.

"That's right, they publish the illustrations and text together, so they give you a high royalty price."

"How many?"

"Nine o'clock."

"Nine points?" Xu Yi didn't publish it, so he didn't understand it.

"Yes, general publications on the market have six points, excellent works have eight points, and excellent and famous ones have nine points." The section chief continued: "The first print of this album is [-] copies, priced at [-] star coins , the royalties are nine points, which means that you can get [-] stars in royalties, and because it is a children's book, you don't need to pay taxes."

Twenty-seven thousand star coins!

Xu Yi was shocked!

Not only can he publish, but he can also get so much small money!

Just three short stories and some stick figures!

"Also." said the section chief.

"Anything else?" Xu Yi was amazed.

"Yes, this is the price of the first printing. If the book sells well and needs to be printed again, Young Star Publishing House will continue to pay you royalties."

so good!

Xu Yi felt like a pie fell from the sky.

The section chief asked: "What does Director Xu think?"

Xu Yi asked uncertainly, "Can it really be published?"

"Of course, the stories you write are innocent, childlike, and educational. They are better than many children's books on the market. Of course, they can be published."

"Okay, let me think about it."

"Okay, I'll let the publisher contact you directly, okay?"

"Okay, thank you section chief."

"You're welcome, we are all people who contribute to early childhood education."

"Yes."

"We keep trying."

"Ok."

After the communication was cut off, Xu Yi couldn't calm down. It happened that his summary was finished, so he talked to Joey and Xia Duoli about the publication. After playing at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain, he followed to the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain and saw the children digging the soil again. In addition to Qiao Yi Xiaduoli and other three kindergarten teachers watching, there was also Lu Peng watching, so Xu Yi went to Go forward and talk to Joey Xia Duoli about the publication.

Joey Chateaurie exclaimed together: "Published!"

"Keep your voice down," Xu Yi said.

Joey Chateaurie asked together: "Really published?"

Xu Yi nodded.

Joy said happily: "To be honest, during the competition that day, I thought our short story was very suitable for publication. I didn't expect it to be published. And the three stories and pictures are made into a book, which is great."

Xia Duoli asked: "Which publishing house?"

Xu Yi said truthfully: "The section chief said that five publishers came to inquire."

five!

Joey Xia Duoli showed a surprised expression.

Xu Yi said: "However, the section chief suggested cooperating with Toddler Star Publishing House."

"Yes, Hello Young Star Publishing House!" Joey answered.

Xu Yi and Xia Duoli looked at Joey together: "Do you know Child Star Publishing House?"

"Don't you read children's books? Many famous books are published by their family, and there are no rumors about their family's arrears of royalties, manuscript fees, and cover-up of plagiarism. It is a very good publishing house."

"How do you understand it so clearly?" Xia Duoli asked.

"The children's writer I used to like cooperated with many publishing houses, and finally chose the children's star, so I know."

Xia Duoli said: "The principal chooses the child star."

Xu Yi asked: "Do you also think it can be published?"

"Of course." Joy said: "I have read children's stories for many years, and the three short stories of your principal are very, very suitable for publication and very educational."

"Yes, and if you publish three articles and sell more than [-] copies, you will be eligible to take the first-level director exam." Joey said.

"First-level director?" Xu Yi grasped these four words. After he learned that He Yun was a first-level doctor and Lang Zhe was a first-level lawyer, he thought about the title of first-level director, but this title If you want to go to the central planet to take the exam, not to mention the strict exam qualifications, it is said that the exam questions are very abnormal. So far, Planet 1413 has not produced a first-level director.

He felt it was far away, so he didn't care.

But in the past two days, he heard the words "first-level director" repeatedly, as if everyone thought he could have this title, which made his mind fluctuate. Thinking of He Yun being a first-level doctor, he wanted to have it A "first-level director" is symmetrical.

After thinking about it, what does this have to do with He Yun?

He quickly returned to his senses.

Joey smiled and said: "The director is so good, maybe he can be admitted as a first-level director."

Xia Duoli said, "I agree."

"If you say so, I have to try."

"Try it!"

"Okay, I'll give it a try when the book is published and sold for [-] yuan." Xu Yi said with a smile.

"It can definitely be sold for [-]!" Joy Xia Duoli was more confident than Xu Yi.

Xu Yi said with a smile: "Accumulated sales of one hundred thousand in ten or eight years, is it okay?"

"Okay."

"Then I still have some hope." Xu Yi teased himself.

Joey Chateau laughed.

Xu Yi continued to ask: "Then choose the child star?"

Joey Chateaurie agrees.

Then Xu Yi left, thinking that among the three stories, "I Want to Grow Up" and "Flowers, Trees, Fish, Birds and Insects" were inspired by the personal experiences of Benson and Jiman, so he gave Mei Ya and Amy sent a text message, saying that they would share their manuscript fees, but both of them said that the story did not involve their lives at all, and they were unwilling to ask for any compensation. It was agreed.

Xu Yi had no choice but to give up.

Only then did Xiaozhong, the editor of Child Star Publishing House, apply for a friend. After some exchanges, Xiaozhong said that the text does not need to be revised, and the illustrations of "Flowers, Plants, Trees, Fish, Birds and Insects" do not need to be revised, but I hope that Xu Yi can modify " I really want to grow up" and "Use Magic to Defeat Magic". The illustrations of these two short stories are not required to participate in the competition. They are just analyzed for children to see, so the drawings are relatively sloppy.

Xu Yi also accepted the suggestion.

Xiao Zhong sent Xu Yi a contract.

Xu Yi didn't sign it right away, but read it over and over again. At this time, school was over. After sending the children away, he continued to read and then signed the contract. At night, he began to re-draw "I Want to Grow Up" and "Using Magic" The illustrations of "Defeat Magic" were published for parents and children, so he drew them very carefully.

I only painted two or three paintings in one night.

However, he was inexplicably excited at the thought of publishing, and even more excited at the thought of Xiaoqianqian. Excited, he went to bed very late at night, but the next day he was still in good spirits, welcoming the children to class with a smile on his face.

The first one to arrive was Bobo, who would have thought that Bobo was crying and howling at the time and refused to go to school, but now he is almost the favorite child to go to school, and then Nemo, who is holding his mother in one hand and brother in the other, came.

"Director!" Nemo shouted from afar, "Director!"

Xu Yi was talking to He Yunyi, Sha Meiya and the others at this time, so she didn't pay attention.

"Director!" Nemo shouted louder: "Director!!!"

"Hey." Xu Yi turned her head in response.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Nemo walked up to him and asked.

"Sorry, I didn't hear that just now."

"It's not related, I love you."

"Thanks Nemo."

They were talking, when suddenly a truck stopped at the door, they all looked sideways, and saw Xiao Da's father get off the passenger seat, and then hugged Xiao Da too.

Xiao Da is wearing overalls today and is already carrying his baby bottle.

"Panda!" Nemo yelled.

"Nemo!" Xiaoda trotted to Nemo's side.

Nemo took Xiao Da's arm and asked, "Why are you in a big cart?"

"My father let me, let me ride in a cart."

"Whose cart?" Nemo asked.

"My family!" Xiao Da said proudly.

"Wow, it's so boring." Yujia sighed.

"Yujia, your uncle's starship is even more powerful." Jiman reminded.

Yuga blinked his eyes twice, thinking about it, it seems to be so.

Xiao Da went on to say: "There are a lot of them in the cart, Dengxi!"

"What Dencey?"

"Boxes of milk!" Xiao Da said loudly.

The author has something to say:———

Xiao Da came with a bottle of milk and a box of milk!

Nemo: Welcome!

Yuga and others: Applause!

Xiao Da: (*^__^*) hee hee...
