"Mommy, I want to watch Snow White!"
"Daddy, hurry up and buy me 'Snow White.' Huahua recount the story of Snow White in class today. Lili even shared her spicy snack sticks with Huahua; I've never gotten to eat Lili's snack sticks before!"
"Mommy, let's play pretend."
"You play the Queen and I'll be Snow White. Quickly, take out your makeup mirror and ask your mirror: Magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Mommy, you don't even know Snow White?"
"Today, Honghong asked us to play pretend. She was Snow White and I was the Queen, the villain. She even made me eat the apple that I brought to school. After I ate it, she said my apple was poisoned; wahhhhh."
After watching an interesting movie or reading a gripping novel, adults will converse and share, creating a certain buzz around the work.
The same theory holds for children.
Although the world of children is much simpler, they will also share their favorite stories with each other, spreading beloved fairy tales in various forms.
In the end, the ones who pay for the children's interests are the parents.
So when the next day comes, it's hard for some parents to not know about 'Snow White.' After school, many children are hounding their parents about it.
Children are the heart of every family.
Parents have no choice but to ask other moms or search the internet for the story of 'Snow White,' only to find out that it is a fairy tale serialize in a certain children's magazine....
By this time, only a few days are left until the Spring Festival, and many schools have started their winter vacations.
During these times, when children want to read fairy tales, parents generally won't refuse.
Over on the Internet.
A popular blogger also mentioned this fairy tale:
"I am an uncle now. Before going home for the Spring Festival, as usual, I called my nephew to ask what gift he wants. I was prepared to buy toys, but the kid insisted on having 'Snow White.' This little rascal usually asks for airplanes and cannons. Who would have thought that this year a fairy tale would excite him."
The blogger showed a copy of 'Fairy Tale King'.
Quite a few people replied in the comment section:
"Haha, my little sister in elementary school also asked me to buy this for her."
"Ahh, so this is why my daughter has been mumbling about Snow White all afternoon. So it was a newly released fairy tale."
"I've never heard of 'Fairy Tale King' before. When I was little, I used to listen to stories like 'The Little Turtle' or 'The Three Little Pigs.'
"'Snow White' is becoming popular. I went to buy the magazine today and they were out of stock!"
"So it's not just bookstores in our area that are out of stock."
"Wait, is the author of 'Snow White' Chu Kuang?"
"Is it that Chu Kuang, the one we're familiar with?"
"Taking a look at the promotion in Silver Blue Books, it seems so. Chu Kuang really wrote a fairy tale!"
"I saw the news a few days ago, but didn't pay much attention. Who would have thought that Chu Kuang's fairy tale would become so popular?"
"Isn't Chu Kuang a mystery writer?"
"Isn't Chu Kuang a fantasy novelist?"
"Isn't Chu Kuang a short story writer?"
"Now is Chu Kuang also a fairy tale writer?"
At first, it was just a breeze.
But as more and more bookstores ran out of 'Fairy Tale King,';
And as more and more discussions and exchanges about Chu Kuang appeared on the Internet;
The breeze finally began to howl!
This little 'Snow White' story is on fire!
It seems incorrect to say that 'Snow White' is a little fairy tale.
It is one of the most representative stories in the 'Grimm's Fairy Tales.'
And 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' is hailed as a cultural heritage of the world, UNESCO even praised it as an epoch-making compilation of European and Eastern fairy tale traditions."
Some publishers even claimed that in Western Christian countries, its sales are only second to The Bible."
The veracity of this claim cannot be verified as any work related to sales records likes to compare itself to The Bible."
The poor Bible has become a unit of measurement for publishers."
But what is certain is that this fairy tale has been widely popular for nearly a hundred years and is known to all."
Take for example, "Snow White," the story adopted by the first colour animation film on earth!
Somehow, fairy tales have shaped the childhood dreams of countless children around the world, and "Snow White" is one of the must-mention ones.
When netizens noticed the storm triggered by this little fairy tale, many were left flabbergasted:
"My God, can Chu Kuang actually write a fairy tale?"
"I heard Chu Kuang wrote a fairy tale, didn't give it much thought, assumed he was just messing around. Didn't expect this fairy tale to suddenly become a hit!"
"A single fairy tale can have such a big impact?"
"I just read 'Snow White', indeed it's quite interesting. However, I'm not a child. I don't understand how much children love this story."
"My nephew loves this story."
"Chu Kuang excels at writing too many different types of novels!"
"The old rascal Chu Kuang has quite a terrifying talent in writing!"
"Just saw a message in the parents' group from the teacher saying that they are planning a 'Snow White' stage play at my daughter's school. The costumes are already being designed. My daughter dreams of playing Snow White."
Everyone was not stunned by how brilliant "Snow White" was, adults can't return to the world of children.
Everyone was just amazed at the children's passion for "Snow White" and Chu Kuang's understanding of children's preferences!
With such a commotion, Silver Blue Books couldn't possibly not know.
Just the sound of the various bookstores requesting more copies of "Fairy Tale King" was enough to immerse the entire Silver Blue Books' Fairy Tale Department in a joyful yet bizarre atmosphere.
But the bizarre is also essential.
No one expected that the most popular author of the first issue of "Fairy Tale King" was not Jin Shan, and even less so Qiqi...
Chu Kuang, who was writing a fairy tale for the first time!
Inside Shui Zhourou's office.
Shui Zhourou and her assistant were stunned. They looked at each other in silence, as if they could see the helplessness and futility in each other's eyes.
Shui Zhourou broke the silence.
The assistant thought for a moment and said, with a slightly hoarse voice, "Probably because he is Chu Kuang."
Inside Zhang Yang's office.
Zhang Yang and his assistant were also dumbfounded.
After a while, Zhang Yang cried out, "How can such a person exist? Isn't it his first time writing a fairy tale? Why does it seem like Jin Shan and Qiqi are the ones who are writing their first fairy tale!"
"I can't believe it either..."
The assistant's expression was extremely complicated, "But I suddenly remembered something."
"Your favorite, 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', was also Chu Kuang's first detective work. Before that, many people didn't believe that Chu Kuang could write detective stories well..."
"Are these comparable?"
"What's the difference?"
Zhang Yang fell silent.
Cheers from Lin Xuan's office were heard in both Zhang Yang's and Shui Zhourou's offices.
"What's there to shout about! Is Chu Kuang really that amazing?!"
Zhang Yang plopped down on his chair, took a big gulp of water, choked and coughed for a long time because he drank too fast.
"Having Chu Kuang is really that amazing..."
Inside Shui Zhourou's office, this long-haired beautiful woman spoke blandly.
She was not mad, her words were firm:
"But we have an even more amazing Teacher Yuanyuan!"
