Chapter 437: Chapter 415 Extracurricular Book_1

The short story was just a preliminary contest. No matter how outstanding the story of “Snow White” is, it only adds a good weight to Lin Xuan’s competition for the chief editor position. But a single weight won’t be able to turn the final outcome–

Because the contest is still ongoing.

It’s far from deciding who the chief editor will be right now.

Whether it’s Shui Zhourou or Zhang Yang, they both have weights that they haven’t used yet. Before the official decision for the chief editor, they will bring them out in the ongoing competition.

Among which,

The most important weight in Shui Zhourou’s hand is Teacher Yuanyuan, who is a top-tier fairy tale author ranked highly in Blue Star. Even Jin Mu and Qiqi together can’t match her!

But what Shui Zhourou didn’t expect was…

A few days later.

The impressive Teacher Yuanyuan she had in mind actually read Chu Kuang’s “Snow White”, and gave it a high praise in the comment section of the works on the Star Network:

“Many friends recommended me a fairy tale today. The fairy tale is called “Snow White”, and the author is said to be Chu Kuang. I instantly thought of a novel I really like, which is the slightly terrifying and thrilling Ghost Blowing Lamp series by Chu Kuang. Maybe it’s my personal bias, but this made it hard for me to associate Chu Kuang’s style with being a fairy tale author, I believe many people feel the same way as I do…”

Many netizens raised their hands almost unanimously when they saw this.

Indeed,

If it weren’t for this stubborn mindset, Shui Zhourou and Zhang Yang wouldn’t have stumbled this much.

Who the f*ck would have thought that the serious Chu Kuang could write fairy tales?

A fairy tale author must have a childish heart and so-called “childish” side in order to enter into children’s inner world.

It’s not because everyone doubts Chu Kuang’s ability to break boundaries.

It was known that Chu Kuang could do multi-genre, good at detective and fantasy short stories, but indeed this crossover is a bit too radicle.

Look at what kind of novels Chu Kuang used to write?

Short stories like “Necklace” are brief and powerful, with various unexpected twists and always thought-provoking;

Fantasy novels like “Ghost Blowing Lamp” are terrifying and spooky, with various folk tales, giving a sense of mystery and strangeness;

Detective novels like “Hercule Poirot Series” are full of energy throughout the process, with various brainstorming tests on logical thinking…

Can a person like this write fairy tales?

Yuanyuan’s remarks echoes everyone’s thoughts:

“I didn’t expect this kind of author can actually write fairy tales, and the fairy tale he wrote, even I, an old sister who has immersed in this industry for many years, have to admit it’s wonderful. Whether it’s the plot structure, educational meaning, or story line, all of them are quite outstanding. Even for many adults, I think it’s worth reading. The story is not lacking in fun.”

In the end, Yuanyuan summarised,

“I am not good at writing short stories, I’m better at writing long stories. But short fairy tales actually test the author’s abilities a lot. Since Chu Kuang is good at short stories, that he excels in fairy tale class short stories, may not make people feel incredible. I look forward to Chu Kuang’s more fairy tales, to weave children’s dreams together with many excellent fairy-tale authors.”

Yuanyuan’s popularity is beyond doubt!

She is not only the favourite author among children, but also a well-known figure among many adults!

That’s because many adults grew up reading “Three Little Pigs.”

When Teacher Yuanyuan praised “Snow White” so highly, everyone increasingly recognised Chu Kuang’s ability to write fairy tales. Some even adult netizens with curiosity read Chu Kuang’s fairy tale again.

…

Yuanyuan’s statement about “Snow White” probably symbolises a microcosm of the fairy tale circle. As this fairy tale became popular, the authors in the fairy tale circle didn’t stop discussing this work privately.

“The fairy tale creation technique is very mature, ‘Mirror Mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world’, this sentence is a bit brainwashing, I can’t help but want to ask when I look in the mirror.”

“The key point is that his first fairy tale stepped on the works of Jin Shan and Qiqi.”

“Jin Shan and Qiqi are both old-fashioned famous fairy tale authors, the main promotion of ‘Fairy Tale King’, but all the buzz was stolen by Chu Kuang.”

“But it has to be admitted that ‘Snow White’ is better than the works of Jin Shan and Qiqi.”

“The children’s preferences have already told everything, even though only one work, but Chu Kuang should also be considered a good fairy tale author.”

“Isn’t it said that the Literature and Art Association officially compiling a collection of fairy tale books next year, will ‘Snow White’ be included in it?”

“It seems very likely. If it’s included, Chu Kuang really takes a leap forward with this opportunity!”

“I heard about the Literature and Art Association officially compiling a collection of fairy tale books, has the news been confirmed?”

“I have an inside friend in the Literature and Art Association, the source of information is reliable, and it will probably be announced along with the news of Yan Continent’s joining and merger. By that time, all fairy tale authors will probably go mad.”

“Damn, when this news is officially announced, the fairy tale circle will absolutely go crazy!”

“…”

As the industry is discussing,

Lin Xuan is happily watching her beloved younger brother at home:

“Are there any more?”

Lin Yuan was stunned: “What?”

Lin Xuan was still smiling: “Of course I am talking about fairy tales.”

Lin Yuan said: “Yes…”

Lin Xuan looked surprised: “Really?”

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan answered affirmatively.

If his sister still needed them, he could continue to customise with the System.

Lin Xuan’s face gradually became serious: “If that’s the case, then there is something I must tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Although it’s not confirmed yet, it will definitely be implemented next year. The Literature and Art Association plans to produce a series of fairy tale books, including some outstanding short fairy tale stories. If Chu Kuang can still write fairy tales, why not write some more, maybe they will have the chance to be included.”

Lin Yuan was surprised.

Lin Xuan’s face relaxed a little: “You don’t need to put too much pressure on Chu Kuang. At the very least, ‘Snow White’ has a great chance of being included in the series of books. It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a famous new fairy tale story on the market, if it was really included, by the time this series is released, Chu Kuang’s work would also have the opportunity to influence a generation.”

Lin Yuan: “…”

He quickly caught the key point.

The power of the Literature and Art Association is beyond doubt. The official compilation of a series of fairy tale books will definitely be issued as a task, with countless schools promoting it, advising parents to buy a set as extracurricular books…

Would parents refuse?

That’s impossible!

What parents trust the most are the schools and the Literature and Art Association. They will absolutely support this kind of thing, they will definitely not refuse, they are willing to pay for it!

With this, the impact would be terrifying!

It’s almost equivalent to having a series of fairy tale books promoted by the Literature and Art Association appear in many children’s homes in the future!

In other words:

In the future, the vast majority of children will start reading these fairy tales promoted officially at a very young age, and the fairy tales included will definitely influence countless children’s childhoods–

Lin Yuan smelled the scent of prestige.
