Lin Zixuan last wrote a fairy tale six years ago. At that time, he was working in the children's program team of Beijing Radio Station. His daily job was to tell stories to the children in front of the radio.

Sometimes he would receive letters from children, and the young listeners wanted to listen to fresh fairy tales.

But fairy tales are not something he can tell just as he wants to.

This is not about telling stories to children at home, and any subject matter is fine, but for children in the capital, they cannot tell randomly. If you tell a story about gods and ghosts, it may be said to be promoting feudal superstition.

All manuscripts must be reviewed and must appear in magazines or fairy tales.

Even if you write a new story, you have to hand it over to the leader for review. The leader often finds it troublesome and ignores it.

If there are ready-made fairy tales, why do you do these things? Who will take responsibility if there is any problem?

Under this circumstance, Lin Zixuan wrote several fairy tales and submitted them to the Children's Literature Magazine in Shanghai, among which "Gourd Brothers" had the greatest influence.

This story was made into an animation and was continuously broadcast on TV stations across the country, and was very popular among children.

It can be said that this cartoon made the Shanghai City Art Film Studio turn over. The more replays they replay, the greater their benefits.

The art film studio later filmed the sequel to "The Gourd Brothers", which also made a lot of profits.

But this has nothing to do with Lin Zixuan, and he only received a few hundred yuan in adaptation fee.

This is the situation of domestic writers. For example, in the novel "Living", Zhang Yimou used 30,000 yuan to obtain the adaptation rights of the novel. How much money he earned after making it into a movie has nothing to do with the original author.

Writers are at the bottom of literary and artistic creation.

The writer contributed to the magazine, and the magazine paid the manuscript fee. This was a clear idea. There was no saying that a magazine would be sold to the writer for commission.

The most considerable income of a writer is royalty, which is based on the number of books sold.

As for other art forms such as film and television dramas, animations, dramas, etc., the adaptation fee is generally paid in one lump sum, and the writer will not participate in the later profit sharing.

Unless the influence of this writer can influence the box office of the movie, they are qualified to negotiate with the producer.

This situation has not yet occurred in the domestic film and television industry, but in the West, those top best-selling writers will sign box office share agreements with Hollywood film companies.

Lin Zixuan did not regret selling the animation adaptation rights of "The Gourd Brothers" for hundreds of dollars.

One is the case in the domestic film and television industry. Besides, he wrote "Gourd Brothers" more to give children new fairy tales and a beautiful childhood memory.

This is his original intention.

Looking back now, Lin Zixuan feels it’s pretty good.

If he had not written "The Gourd Brothers", he would not have designed the image of the Gourd Brothers at the request of the art film studio, and Ge You would not have introduced Feng Xiaogang to know him, which might be another situation.

Six years have passed, and Lin Zixuan has already left the broadcasting and hosting position and has a new life.

This time he wrote this "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" mainly to give his daughter a story that can accompany her growth, and to allow children in China to have new fairy tales to read.

In addition, he also has an idea, hoping to spread culture through this story.

If he only wants to sell books, make money by making movies, or build theme parks, he doesn't need to do his best to adapt them, just write the original Harry Potter.

In this way, it will not only save time and effort, but also have a much greater chance of success.

In recent years, Western fairy tales have been passed down to the East, not Eastern fairy tales have been passed down to the West.

There are many reasons here, and Lin Zixuan wants to make an attempt.

With the help of the original storyline, he added Eastern elements to integrate Chinese and Western cultural elements. Through this book "Little Snow's Great Adventure", Western children can also accept fairy tales with Eastern elements.

This is a magical world that Western children are familiar with.

After reading it, they may be interested in the mysterious magic of the East, and then in the culture of the East.

This is communication between each other.

Of course, things have to be done step by step. He first wrote the story, saw the readers' reactions, and then decided what to do next.

Lin Zixuan plans to send the story to the Children's Literature Magazine and publish it in the magazine.

It's a bit embarrassing. Although "The Gourd Brothers" is popular and aired on TV stations across the country, few people know that Lin Zixuan is the original author, and children will not remember these when watching cartoons.

Moreover, Lin Zixuan’s fairy tales is a playful nature, so he has not written them since then, so it is normal not to be paid attention to.

His most influential novel should be "Living". Unfortunately, the movie was banned in China and no publishing house dared to publish it. There are many people who know it in the literary circle, so ordinary readers don't know it very well.

This has led to Lin Zixuan being in a polarized situation for readers.

Readers who know him like him very much, and those who don’t know him don’t know who Lin Zixuan is.

As a writer, he is not well-known among readers, but with the publication of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" series of martial arts novels, he gradually became popular as a martial arts novel writer.

He sent "Xiaoxue's Adventure" to the "Literary Boy" magazine located in Shanghai.

After receiving the manuscript, the magazine immediately arranged for senior editors to read the manuscript, and even the editor-in-chief was alarmed.

Lin Zixuan's reputation in the literary circle is no longer the same. Six years ago, he was an unknown new author. Now he can have a place in the literary circle with the novel "Living".

"Alive" has received rave reviews overseas, and in addition to France and the Netherlands, Italy and Japan are also preparing to publish them one after another.

After reading the story, the editors of "Literary and Art Boy" magazine found that this was not an ordinary fairy tale. This story had a very detailed background setting, and presented a magical world to readers in full.

This is different from domestic fairy tales. The background setting of domestic fairy tales is often very simple.

For example, "The Gourd Brothers" is the struggle between the Gourd Baby and the Fairy. It is simple and clear and can be understood by children.

But in "Xiaoxue's Adventure", not only has a huge background setting, but also many characters who appear. Each character has his own story and laid a lot of foreshadowing.

This is obviously just the beginning of a series of stories.

The background introduction alone costs so much writing and ink, and you can imagine how tortuous and bizarre the next story would be.

On the one hand, the editors were happy that such a heavy fairy tale appeared in China, and on the other hand, they felt regretful that it would have been set in China.
