It was all the time to wait until the night, and no one came. Wang Er breathed a sigh of relief. He said hello, otherwise some leaders might come to visit him.

It was all right, and Wang Er started to buy the next book, which is "The Kingdom of the Beast".

When he was a child, he borrowed it from his classmates and read it in a hurry. When he was young, he could hardly remember it. He just vaguely remembered it as an interesting fairy tale and it was not long.

Of course, it is 11 books selected by BBC from the sea of ​​books. It can be said that each book has its unique charm.

Maybe it's really a young child, but it's not easy to be arranged with "The Little Prince", "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Legend of Narnia". It's nothing else. These three books are the most expensive fairy tale books on the shelves.

A large amount of information was injected into Wang Er's mind, and Wang Er was stunned for a moment.

This book involves a noun, picture book, also known as picture book.

But it is not a comic strip, a villain's book and a comic, and it is different from other stories with illustrations. The illustrations of other stories only make the story more intuitive, including the novels written by Wang Er before, which contain a large number of illustrations, especially the "Wife of Oz" series and "The Little Prince". If it weren't for drawing these illustrations, Wang Er would have coded faster.

However, these novels can only be called "fairy tales with illustrations" and cannot be called picture books.

The specific difference is that the former, including comic strips and comics, are all vassals of text.

Picture books require that the picture must be continuity, so a good picture book, even if the child is illiterate, you can see a rough meaning by just looking at the picture.

That is, the picture becomes the subject or stands on the same position as the text.

For example, this book "The Kingdom of the Beast" has only a dozen sentences, hundreds of words, and the rest is painting.

And its source did not come from foreign countries, but from Chinese Buddhist scriptures. After it was spread to Japan, some people developed it into picture books and spread to the West.

The protagonist of the story is also a naughty child. He jumped on a boat and ran away from home. He floated on the sea to a country full of strange-looking and tall beasts. In order to avoid being eaten by wild animals, he had to claim to be the king...

The theme is that every child has a wild beast in his heart, and he must learn to tame this wild beast.

It's that simple, but this book is not simple.

Not only has it won numerous literary awards, it was read to children at the White House, but it is also called the pyramid and wild landmark of picture books. It can be said that since this book was published, everyone has fully recognized the new literary genre of picture books.

If you don’t understand, think about Li Houzhu’s status in Song Ci.

In addition to this book, the author also created "Kitchen Night Rhapsody", "In the Distant Place", "Kenny's Window", "The Mark on the Door of Rose", "Pierre" series "Must, Tat", "Dear Little Li", "Jack and Guy are both depressed", "The Confused Artie", and his final works "To My Brothers", etc. The most famous of them are "Beast Country", "Kitchen Night Rhapsody" and "In the Distant Place".

After receiving a lot of information, Wang Er murmured: "No wonder it ranks third."

According to the ranking of BBC, the second place in "The Legend of Narnia" is known. As for "The Lord of the Rings", big guy, you should leave the fairy tale category, we can't afford to offend.

At the price of the shelf, "Narnia Legend" is not cheap in Chinese or English.

The fourth is Alice, which is the same price as "The Little Prince".

It was not until the fifth "Little Woman" that Wang Er began to become unfamiliar, but it was only cheap in Chinese, and the English version was also very expensive, so it was not easy to think about.

"It will take two or three days..."

There are also many illustrations in "The Little Prince". Wang Er thought it was too rough and made some improvements.

This book is really pitifully few words, one, two, and three are all well written.

The key is painting.

This calligraphy and painting is the main body, and each painting is very exquisite.

Wang Er bought the high-level master cartoon and watercolor painting skills, and the low-level master sketching skills, so he did not let him create it alone. It was possible to copy the gourd. However, if you want to keep the original style, you had to slow down. Especially those fluffy beasts must be drawn cutely, otherwise this book would not be "cute".

It's really a good match for one, two, and three.

Wang Er started painting.

He was laughing while painting. If he had finished painting and passed it to the magazine, he would probably go crazy if the people in the magazine saw it.

It was not appropriate for Wang Er to finally draw a picture. "The King of Fairy Tales" is mainly based on text and serialization, and the one with the largest circulation is a simple version. Could it be that these paintings are turned into black and white sketches?

He began to contact Li Changhua directly: "Uncle Li, have you ever heard of picture books?"

“What picture book?”

"It's a picture book."

"Hear."

It's true that he is a person working in a publishing house.

Now China also has a very small number of picture books, and foreign countries also have them, but they are not very famous and belong to the unpopular type of books.

If you are not an expert and have not seen the book, you may not know it.

“I tried to draw a picture book.”

“Is the drawing exquisite?”

"fine."

"this……"

The more exquisite it is, the higher the printing cost. Why? Just look at the prices of calendars and some art books.

"Uncle Li, I promise that this book will not make you lose money. I will send it to you in a few days. You will know when you see it. By the way, it is best to choose two pictures, make it into electronic versions, place it on Weibo, or promote it on other channels."

"Why do you think of drawing picture books?"

This is what an expert said. Picture books cannot be written, they can only be painted.

"Uncle Li, have you published it?"

"I have published a few books, some have lost money, some have remained the same, and very few have made profits."

In short, if it is not very profitable or not, the publisher is gradually less interested in it.

"Uncle Li, the reason why I drew this book is simple. Think about it, how long have I been writing a novel? How many words have I written? Just take it as relaxing. Then I tried to draw this book, and it felt pretty good. It is definitely unlikely to be serialized in a magazine, so I plan to hand it over to you to publish it directly."

It turns out to be relaxed.

Wang Er's words can be understood. No matter how good his imagination is, no matter how good his imagination is, no one can bear it.

One is physical labor and the other is mental labor, both of which are labor.

Besides, the author is a real child.

Li Changhua thought about it and said that with Wang Er's reputation now, even if he didn't sell well, he would not lose money. The key is to sell Wang Er a favor. He said, "Okay, by the way, how do you negotiate the contract and share of your magazine?"

According to the contract signed by Wang Er and the magazine, the novels written by Wang Er must be published in the magazine first. Of course, the magazine also must also provide a certain amount of publicity funds for publicity. Why is Wang Er's books sold well? Not only in terms of quality, but the two platforms have indeed invested a lot of publicity funds.

After the physical distribution, the magazine will be charged another 30% of the manuscript fee. The rest will be paid for Wang Er’s personal income tax and then remitted to Wang Er.

"This is a book I used to relax in my spare time to draw, not a book I wrote. There should be a difference. Uncle Li, let me talk to them on my behalf. If they want to share the money, give it to them."

It is a picture book, is it considered a real novel? It has not been determined by the literary world now, and it is not suitable for being placed in a magazine, and it has nothing to do with the magazine, so it is okay if Wang Er doesn't give it to him, and it makes sense for the magazine to force it.

"Okay, I'll talk to them."

After a while, Wang Jimin began to contact Wang Er: "Picture Book?"

Wang Er sent a few hundred words: "This is the text content of the whole book."

In this way, would Wang Jimin be embarrassed to ask for the royalties?

"Forget it, what you are best at is writing, not painting."

"Uncle Wang, I understand. This is relaxing and trying. I occasionally draw a book to play with. I don't spend much time and I won't regard it as a job."

Then what else to say? Wang Jimin went offline. But Wang Jimin became curious and actually had books of this genre, so he started searching online. There are indeed, very unpopular. Except for some picture book lovers and art workers pay attention, almost no one else knew that there was books of this genre.

After a while, Li Changhua contacted Wang Er again: "Wang Ping'an, when will you be able to draw well?"

"It's almost done, I can send it to you in three days at most. Is it a snatch of June 1st?"

"Yes, the more exquisite the picture, the more difficult it is to type. Moreover, its genre is hard to say, so it must be promoted in advance."

Several leaders of the publishing house have discussed it just now. Due to the characteristics of picture books, the content is small and the price is expensive, and the sales in China have not been very large. It is impossible to sell as many books. However, with this popularity, you can sell some, no matter how exquisite it is, you will not lose money.

If you don’t lose money, the author insists that you should give me favors.

They are children, but they really can't regard them as children. They are so scary that they have high IQ and EQ!

Wang Er began to draw the second painting.

The painting that just started was not very fun, Li Guan'er looked at the palette, then looked at the painting, but didn't look at it again.

Not only did they draw, but when Wang Er coded it, Guan'er and Xiaomei both liked to stare behind happily, but after reading too much, the two little girls gradually lost interest. Anyway, they will be published soon, so I won't be happier to hold the book in my hand to read it?

Wang Er continued to draw, and there was another reason for his slow painting. The original painting exuded a faint and simple oil painting flavor. Could it be that Wang Er would rather buy expensive oil painting skills? Wang Er bought watercolor painting, cartoon painting skills, and sketching skills of the senior master. It was quite difficult to draw that artistic conception and sense of advancedness with watercolor.

After drawing the second and third paintings, Wang Laoshi and his wife came back, and their son was painting. Wang Laoshi knew it was related to the book, so he stood by and said, "Waiter, get up."

Wang Erzheng focused on painting. He raised his head and didn't react. It was just his father's call, and he put down his brush in a conditioned manner and stood up.

Wang Laoshi picked him up and fucked him hard for more than a dozen times.
