Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 69 It’s called “The Minimum Story”

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2000, Zhang and his party purchased a computer.

The big white head looks very cute squatting on the desk.

Seeing her brother's admiration for this computer, Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

It's just a computer, what's so precious about it? She was tired of playing with it at Zhang Xiaoyu's house.

As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Hu Weishi came to Yueshan City lightly packed.

Zhang and his party drove to meet Zhou Xingguo. It was the first time that the three giants of DreamWeaver Culture met together.

Through Zhou Xingguo and his family, Dreamweaver Culture has connections with television stations.

The addition of Hu Weishi established a bridge between Dream Weaver Culture and the publishing house.

With IP in hand and a vision from the future, Zhang Yixing can finally slowly weave dreams.

"Yixing, since you plan to launch a novel and comic magazine, have you thought of a name?" Hu Weishi was feeling very relaxed while eating roasted leg of lamb.

Zhang Yixing nodded, "I've thought about it, let's call it "The Smallest Story" and "The Most Comic"!"

Hu Weishi thought about it and asked doubtfully: "Is there any explanation?"

"I don't have any explanation. I just had a dream. In the dream, someone made a magazine with these two names, and it was selling like hot cakes!"

Hu Weishi glared at him, "Nonsense!"

Zhang Yixing said haha, is this really good?
  "Mind Shuo" is a youth literature magazine founded by Guo Jingming. At its peak, he once pressed "Reader" to the ground and rubbed it like crazy!
  Guo Jingming made a lot of money from "The Minimal Story" and discovered many talented authors and helped them publish novels and collections.

In those years, relying on the income from novels and magazines, Guo Jing earned tens of millions next year, but at that time Han Han was busy racing and could not afford to wear shorts.

So much so that Han Han made a sour sarcastic comment, saying that he had to bow his head and learn how to run a magazine just to get money for tires.

While eating the leg of mutton, the three of them determined the direction of the next affairs. Among them, applying for magazine issues was the top priority, and they also clarified the content style and audience group of "The Minimum Story".

After dinner, the three of them drove Hu Weishi to the house prepared for her.

The house is not big, just over seventy square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of Yueshan Park.

Patting Zhang Yixin on the head, Hu Weishi said with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

Zhang Yixing laughed and said, "It must be necessary!"

The next day, Hu Weishi finally saw the office space.

It's not an office building, but a large Chinese-style courtyard located near Yueshan Park.

And the yard has been bought by Zhang Yixing.

Hu Weishi couldn't help but lament the luxury, not because of the price, but because in the Magic City, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such a large yard.

And when I asked about the price of the entire courtyard, it was not as good as half a house in Shanghai.

This is the cuteness of the small town.

Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, there are too few talents in small towns. For this reason, Zhang and his party need to use higher prices to poach people from surrounding big cities.

Fortunately, today's salary level, even if it is higher, is not much higher. With Zhang Yixing's worth, it is not a problem at all.

The animation production department led by Zhou Xingguo now relies on his connections, which are actually his mother's connections, to undertake simple animation production for TV stations in Yueshan City and several surrounding counties and cities. They are all small projects that don’t make much money, but excluding the initial investment in equipment, there is no loss at all.

Zhang Yixing is already very satisfied with this. He is not a person who is eager for quick success. He has to take steps step by step. As long as there is positive feedback, it is considered a success.

Dreamweaver Culture's hope of making money in the early stage will also be pinned on the two magazines "Mind Novel" and "Most Comics", as well as the publication of Zhang Yixing's new works in the later period.

Zhang and his party will eventually part ways with "Grudge" and cooperate directly with the publisher.

Hu Wei had a long way to go. In addition to the work of launching the magazine, he also had to recruit people, especially cartoonists.

The cartoonists recruited were not only responsible for providing illustrations for the minimum novel, but also for converting text into comics for "Xiamu's Book of Friends". Therefore, the requirements for personnel were extremely high, which required Hu Weishi's personal connections to promote it.

As for "The Minimum Story", in addition to soliciting manuscripts from the outside world, Hu Weishi first sent manuscript invitations to young writers he knew, and secondly, discovered authors through the largest youth literature website at the time, Rongshuxia.

In the invitation list listed by Hu Weishi, Zhang and his party saw names such as Han Han, Jin Hezai, Annibaby, Fourth Dimension, and Luoluo.

Zhang Yixing pointed to the list, "Sister, don't ask this fourth dimension for manuscripts!"

Hu Weishi asked doubtfully: "Huh? You know this author who has a very good writing skills, and his words have a lonely and gorgeous feeling. Although he is pretending to be sad for autumn, he is very popular under the banyan tree. Considering the market, it is a good choice. author."

Of course I know him, but he didn’t know me before, not necessarily now.

This is the famous Guo Jingming!

Regarding Guo Jingming, Zhang Yixing actually admired his business acumen. When Han Han was still confused about what to do next, Guo Jingming was very clear about the path he wanted to take, and even influenced Han Han for a time.

Han Han had some intention of catching up with Guo Jingming in the later stage.

But if I ask Guo Jingming to write a manuscript, forget it. If there is another scandal later, "Minimum Story" may also face criticism.

Thinking that "The Minimum Story" actually refused to invite Guo Jingming to write an article, Zhang Yixing couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After all, "The Minimum Story" is Guo Jingming's plate in my memory.

Zhang Yixing made nonsense to Hu Weishi: "Well, I saw some readers' comments and it seems that this person's article is suspected of plagiarism. To avoid trouble, let's forget it!"

"Plagiarism?" Hu Weishi couldn't help but frown. This is a taboo in writing.

Sister, I can help you!
  Regarding the Guo Jingming plagiarism incident that was causing quite a stir at the time, Zhang Yixing and his classmates also took a lot of advantage.

According to the normal time trajectory, Guo Jingming would meet Hu Weishi through the New Concept Essay Competition, and Hu Weishi would become Guo Jingming's editor-in-chief.

After the publication of "Huan City", there was some controversy about whether "Huan City" was plagiarized. At this time, Guo Jingming submitted the manuscript of "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" to Hu Weishi.

At that time, Hu Weishi repeatedly asked Guo Jingming whether the film "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" was original. Guo Jingming patted his chest and promised that it was original.

As a result, a more serious plagiarism scandal broke out after the publication, and this time the evidence was conclusive, and Hu Weishi was also in an embarrassing situation at the time.

Zhang Yixing breathed a sigh of relief when he crossed out Guo Jingming's pen name when he saw Hu Wei.

Pointing to Jin Hezai's name, Zhang Yixing said to Hu Weishi: "Sister, this author has put a lot of effort into it, so he must win it. Don't be stingy with the royalties."

Hu Weishi nodded, "I will definitely not save you any money. This author is also my favorite."

"Haha, of course, siblings think alike!"
