Reborn Cultural Empire

123. Beat the stolen gong vigorously, and the master praises you for playing it well

"Speaking carefully, "Sprout" has fallen into the current situation, and there are too many problems, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words!" Yang Yi saw that Zhao Changtian was listening seriously, and gloated a little: "But the most important question, Or readers don't buy it. After all, no one will read something that doesn't suit their taste, right?"

Yang Yi's words are somewhat intriguing. He only knows that the new concept composition competition was initially conceived by Zhao Changtian and the editors of Germination, but when did this concept take shape and the content has been perfected? To what extent, he didn't know anything.

But now, since he intends to take advantage of the opportunity of "Sprout" rebirth to take this ride, he naturally has to come up with some useful dry goods. People value themselves.

But judging from Zhao Changtian's reaction, he should still be in a helpless situation. After hearing what Yang Yi said, the editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly: "That's true. We also feel that the current problem of "Sprout" lies here. It is in line with the reading tastes of today's teenagers! But I just can't think of any solution?"

Hearing what Zhao Changtian said, Yang Yi became more confident in his heart, so he tentatively asked: "Mr. Zhao, have you ever considered holding a composition contest or something? Use this method to focus your attention and increase your influence."

"Essay competition?" Zhao Changtian mused for a moment, with a little disappointment on his face, and then returned to normal color.He didn't think it was because Yang Yi had no idea, he just thought it was because the two parties didn't have enough friendship, and he didn't want to reveal the real thing: "This kind of activity can also attract a moment's attention, and besides, our influence is not as good as before. How many people are willing to contribute is still a matter of opinion.”

"It's not an essay contest, it's an essay contest, and it's separate from "Sprout" magazine itself, it's not "Sprout" soliciting papers!"

"Strip off?" Zhao Changtian couldn't understand: "Since we want to revive the reputation of "Sprout", why isn't "Sprout" calling for papers?"

Yang Yi smiled, but did not answer Zhao Changtian's question, instead the topic jumped to another place: "Mr. Zhao, do you think there are some problems in the current Chinese teaching in China? At least a lot of public opinion is already paying attention to this aspect! "

Being confused by Yang Yi's divergent thinking, Zhao Changtian still nodded: "Before I took over "Sprout", many people have been paying attention to this issue. Of course, more people are paying attention to this issue now. It's just too much."

"Then if we connect the composition competition of "Sprout" with Chinese teaching, at least the reform of composition for middle school students..."

After Yang Yi said these half sentences, he just laughed and said nothing.

Zhao Changtian's eyes lit up when he heard it, like two light bulbs with adjustable power.

A middle school student, putting on a sophisticated look in front of an old master in the literary world, makes people laugh no matter how you look at it.Anyone who doesn't know the inside story will definitely give an evaluation of pretending to be a ghost.

But as one of the parties involved, Zhao Changtian didn't think there was anything wrong at all. His brain has been fully activated now. After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed in surprise and frustration: "If "Sprout" can catch this Opportunity, it is not a problem to want to be born in Nirvana. But the key is, how can it be possible for our magazine to attract the attention and approval of domestic public opinion? The current "Sprout" has not yet led a nationwide Chinese language competition. The ability to reform disciplines..."

Then he realized something, and looked at Rogo with piercing eyes: "Could it be that you Siyue also intend to promote this reform?"

Seeing the eagerness of this old gentleman, Rogo waved his hands quickly, and Yang Yi also smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhao thinks too highly of us, and Siyue is now somewhat influential among the students who like comics. strength, but when it comes to promoting the reform of the Chinese subject, it’s far behind.”

"Then what do you mean?"

Yang Yi pointed to the top of his head mysteriously: "Where is the middle school?"

Above middle school?Zhao Changtian and Shen Yin thought for a long time, looked at Yang Yi who was pretending to be a magic stick with his mouth closed, and Rogo who had narrow eyes and fat face with confusion written all over his face, and finally came to his senses.

"University?" After Zhao Changtian said these two words, his eyes on Yang Yi changed immediately.

This little guy is so good at catching people's hearts!

What are those universities clamoring about now?Isn't it all the current Chinese teaching is rigid, without imagination and creativity?Isn't it criticized all day for not being able to improve the overall quality of students and losing humanity and aesthetics?

Well then, we give you this opportunity to gather those imaginative and special-quality students and put them in front of your university for you to choose!

And what about those middle school students?Now that there is a huge mountain of college entrance examinations, if those colleges and universities can release one or two places for admission without taking the exam, wouldn't it be possible to instantly focus everyone's attention on "Sprouting"?

Then, many young people's attention, from the beginning of the composition contest, turned to the "Sprout" magazine!

It really is a good move.

"Student Yang, it's true that the blue is better than the blue, and you have an idea!" Zhao Changtian's face was full of surprises, and he liked this Yang Yi more and more, so he stood up and greeted him repeatedly: "Come on, Xiao Yang, sit down!" Here, tell me about your thoughts on this composition contest..."

"Editor-in-Chief, the manuscripts for review came out yesterday, and they are all here..." Zhao Changtian in the room was about to have a detailed talk with Yang Yi because of the future of "Sprout" in the room. But a young editor came in holding a stack of manuscripts.

"Where to put it!" Zhao Changtian waved his hand, not listening to the editor's words at all.

The little editor looked at the situation in the room in surprise, and after putting down the manuscript, he turned around with embarrassment: "Editor-in-Chief, this manuscript is waiting for your final review, and it will be printed... "

"I didn't know this was going to be sent for printing?" Zhao Changtian rarely raised his face: "Then you take it back and ask Lao Zhang to interrogate it again, and say that I don't have time here!"

It's up to you to decide!How can I return it to Teacher Zhang!The young editor had a bitter face, but seeing Zhao Changtian like this, she didn't dare to say much, so she just said "oh", and after a while, she still hugged the manuscript back.

But in my heart, I became more and more curious about the identities of those guests.

"By relying on your status as the party secretary of the old Writers Association and the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, it is not a problem to contact some key universities in the Yangtze River Delta?" , can join Peking University, Wuhan University, and Zhongshan, the three most representative universities in their respective regions, then it will be difficult for this composition competition to attract attention!"

"It is indeed feasible! If we can reach an agreement with those universities, then this will be the first time since the resumption of the college entrance examination that we will be given the opportunity to study further because of the reward of the composition competition!" Zhao Changtian murmured excitedly. He looked at Yang Yi with admiration.

I gave the old man some sweets to eat, and of course I have to pay back the rest. Yang Yi blinked and looked at Zhao Changtian sincerely: "That's why Brother Luo and I came here today, Mr. Zhao, See if you can get Siyue Publishing and Yangyi Culture to participate in this matter, one is the issue of naming rights, and the other involves sponsorship fees, which can also make the standard of this competition higher."

"That's not a problem!" Zhao Changtian saw through Yang Yi's trick at a glance.

Excuse me to lay eggs!How could Siyue pass up such a good opportunity to expand its readership among teenagers with the tiger skin as its banner?

But Zhao Changtian is still willing to help with this trivial matter.First of all, the idea itself was thought up by others. If they don't rely on the influence of "Sprout" and the old readers and authors of "Sprout", even if they manage this competition alone, it is not impossible to succeed.Zhao Changtian doesn't think that a person who can make a name for himself in book publishing will not have any contact with the university. At worst, he can be found by someone else.

Then there is the issue of naming rights and sponsorship fees mentioned by Yang Yi. Those universities may not care about it, but the current Germinal Magazine is really struggling financially.

"Hey, wait a minute!" After agreeing to Yang Yi's proposal, Zhao Changcai finally came to his senses: "It's fine with Siyue, after all, we want to accept your idea, but what kind of yangyi culture... Eh, Yangyi, Yang Yi! Could it be you, Xiao Yang..."

Facing Zhao Changtian's bewildered eyes, Yang nodded modestly: "Yang Yang, Yang Yi Culture is a cultural company registered by myself, and it will be specially used to promote and manage my own works in the future."

"Uh...Yangyi Culture? Your personal company...company?" If you say "reading history with pleasure", Yang Yi surprised the old man, and Yang Yi's development method of "Sprout" surprised him.Then things have developed to the present, which is completely beyond Zhao Changtian's imagination.

Middle school students set up their own cultural company?If this is put outside, how much public opinion will it cause?

In Zhao Changtian's memory, domestic writers set up a special cultural company to operate their own works, which seems to have never happened before!

Zhao Changtian was not dazzled by Yang Yi's previous golden idea, and he could still see the situation clearly, but now he has a feeling that he doesn't know what to say.

However, Yang Yi deliberately prevented Zhao Changtian from reacting. After pausing for a while to drink his saliva, he smiled and said: "Actually, it was just the first step in the recovery of "Sprout". In addition, I plan to let Mr. Zhao, in future magazines , open a Siyang special edition for us, such as the new chapters of my "Song Dynasty" that have not yet been released, as well as excerpts from "Shen Nong Code", the pre-reading of the new issue of "Yunhuang", etc..."

Zhao Changtian was dizzy from being bombarded one after another. Yang Yi was still not satisfied, and finally pointed out the key point with a smile: "There is no need to pay copyright fees for "Sprouting"!"

There is no need for "Sprout" to pay copyright fees!relative!What are you still hesitating, it's time to pick up the mouse and snap up!

Yang Yi smiled evilly in his heart, just from the old man's wide-eyed, quail-like helpless eyes, he knew Zhao Changtian's choice—is there any other choice?With the current reputation of "Reading History with Joy" and the popularity of the "Clouds and Desolation" series among students, Zhao Changtian had no way to refuse Yang Yi's proposal.

Still no money!Is there anyone who doesn't want money?Editor-in-Chief Zhao already foresees that if he rejects Yang Yi's proposal, no one in the editorial department will be convinced of him in the future!What a stupid person would be to make the decision to veto the selection of "Song Dynasty", "Shen Nong Code", and "Yunhuang"!

But in the final analysis, this matter is of great benefit to both parties. The so-called win-win cooperation is nothing more than this!

There is no question of which side gains more and which side suffers less. For Germination Magazine, Siyue, and Yangyi, it is a [-]% victory.

Rourou Taiyangxue, Zhao Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly stared at Yang Yi firmly: "Well, Xiao Yang, come over and work on "Sprouting"! How about the position of special deputy editor-in-chief?"
