On December 15, writer Zheng Yuanjie announced on weibo that "Fairy Tale King" will be discontinued in January 2022, and this year's December issue will become his masterpiece. Zheng Yuanjie said that the reason for the suspension of publication is mainly because the 66-year-old has limited energy and wants to use all his energy to fight for rights. The 36-year-old "Fairy Tale King" did not reach 2022, which made readers very sorry, and many people thought that Shuk BetaPiru was his childhood. Some netizens also expressed their support for Zheng Yuanjie's rights protection and look forward to the early resumption of publication.
"Fairy Tale King" was discontinued
One man wrote for 36 years
According to public information, "Fairy Tale King" was founded in 1985, so far has been published 495 issues, with a total print of more than 200 million copies, almost all created by Zheng Yuanjie, from "Shuk Beta Biography", "Big Bad Wolf Roque", "Benten Money Detector" to "Rubik's Cube Mansion", Zheng Yuanjie created a large number of classic fairy tales. His characters such as Pipilu, Rusisi, Shuk and Beta are well known to the Chinese people.
In "A Letter Written by Zheng Yuanjie with Tears", Zheng Yuanjie said that he had gotten up at four o'clock every day for the past 36 years to write, "without a day of interruption", in the past he thought that nothing could hinder his writing, and did not think that those maliciously infringing trademark squatters "did it".
In fact, this is not the first time that "Fairy Tale King" has been discontinued. In 2002, Zheng Yuanjie was named by CCTV to criticize the works as "full of inappropriate content for children", the use of words such as "hemorrhoids" and "menstruation" caused dissatisfaction among parents, and under the pressure of public opinion, "Ghost Car" stopped serialization, and it was not until July 2004 that "Fairy Tale King" re-published Zheng Yuanjie's new work.
I wanted to single out Harry Potter.
Buy ten houses and put readers' letters
Born in 1955 in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, Zheng Yuanjie served in the military, repaired airplanes, and worked as a worker. He began his literary career in 1977 and has been writing for thirty years. Although Zheng Yuanjie dropped out of school in the fourth grade of primary school, with his diligence, he still became the favorite fairy tale king of Chinese since the new century.
In China's children's publishing market, "The Fairy Tale King" is a "fairy tale" that is difficult to reproduce - it was founded in 1985 and has published 495 issues so far, with a total print run of more than 200 million copies, each story independently written by Zheng Yuanjie. In 1985, the inaugural issue of "Fairy Tale King" was also auctioned for 100,000 yuan. Over the past 36 years, Zheng Yuanjie's works have been loved by generations of readers, and Zheng Yuanjie has been on the rich list of writers for many years.
As a flag bearer of China's local children's literature, Zheng Yuanjie has also "singled out" Harry Potter. In an old 2006 anecdote, the "Pipilu" series of fairy tales was republished and sold well. Speaking of the stories behind these books, Zheng Yuanjie revealed that the president of a publishing house saw that in the past three years, domestic children's books have been continuously occupied by Harry Potter, and believes that only "Pipilu" and "Rusisi" can compete with it, so he launched the "General Mobilization" series, "and then killed "Harry Potter" in March."
Another well-known story is that in the 1990s, Zheng Yuanjie bought 10 apartments in Beijing for 1400 yuan a square meter because of the pile of letters from readers, and now the price of these houses has doubled by dozens or hundreds of times. Some people think that it is just a paragraph, but Zheng Yuanjie personally confirmed it. Zheng Yuanjie said: "These ten houses have never lived, never rented, never sold, are still there, and the letter also lives in them." The feeling that this incident gives me is to be kind to the reader, one is to write the work well, so that the reader can get rewards after reading it; the other is to be kind to the reader's letters, sign and take photos with them, and respond to every request. ”
Because of the "God Reply" frequently on the hot search
The Internet age is also "top stream"
In the fairy tale of "buying a house and saving a letter", it is revealed that Zheng Yuanjie attaches great importance to readers. Although with the development of the times, fewer and fewer people write letters to Zheng Yuanjie, zheng Yuanjie, who has learned to play various new media, soon relied on his humor and humor to connect with his readers in the Internet world, and even often because of the "God Reply" on the hot search, young people also like to be "flipped" by Zheng Yuanjie.
Initially, someone asked Zheng Yuanjie with the ID of "Zhang Xincheng's wife", and Zheng Yuanjie replied at the same time as "intimate reminder": "Do not publish your husband's name on the Internet, it is not safe." Some people hope that Zheng Yuanjie will cheer for his own examination and research, and Zheng Yuanjie replied: "I wish you the second place in the country, because I have already wished a reader to be the first in the country." I'm sorry. ”
In the face of netizens ' "what profession is suitable for girls", Zheng Yuanjie gave his own answer: "Girls are suitable for any profession"; some people said that they did not want to get married, he directly poked at the key point "This is the right given to you by the civil code"; Weibo fans are troubled by the difficulty of getting rid of the single, Zheng Yuanjie said that "I would rather have no market for children's books, nor can I wish people without fate to have children", and finally he also threw out a golden sentence: "It is better to die than to sleep in the same bed and dream, it is better to be lonely and defeated and proud of the crowd", which is regarded as a guideline by countless netizens.
Written for more than 40 years
I have been defending my rights for 30 years
As the "fairy tale king", Zheng Yuanjie is omnipotent in the fairy tale world, and he also responds to everything in the online world, only to face one thing, that is, to defend his rights. Over the years, Zheng Yuanjie has wrestled with pirate booksellers again and again, declaring war on disrespect for copyright and standing up for the protection of the trademark of his works.
Initially, it was his books that were pirated, and later, it was his authorized adaptations that were infringed. Later, Zheng Yuanjie's troubles not only came from the cultural field, but also the endless registered trademarks and brand names of "Pippi Luxi Restaurant", "Halo Sissi" cooked food, "Shuk Beta" pet products, etc., were not authorized by Zheng Yuanjie. He had to clear his relationship with these companies through blogs and microblogs. Until now, Zheng Yuanjie's Weibo top is still a manuscript of six cases of infringement of his intellectual property rights.
Zheng Yuanjie has been persecuted by malicious preemptive registration of trademarks and trade names, and the number of malicious preemptive registrations has reached more than 1,000. Among these thousands of infringements, on average, a lawsuit will take 3 years. Even, some have been playing for 14 years. It can be said that in Zheng Yuanjie's more than 40 years of writing career, he has spent 30 years taking into account rights protection.
Zheng Yuanjie once said: "No writer is as large as me, facing such a large-scale book piracy, especially trademarks and trade names." In order to defend her rights, Zheng Yuanjie went from being a writer to an expert in rights protection who turned her back on the Trademark Law.
It is precisely because of the busy trademark rights protection, Zheng Yuanjie had to personally announce the suspension of the "Fairy Tale King", in the "Zheng Yuanjie wrote a letter to three trademarks", Zheng Yuanjie wrote: "I want to say sorry to the millions of readers and friends who have supported the "Fairy Tale King" monthly magazine for 36 years, sorry that I have limited energy at the age of 66, and can only spend all my energy to go and 7197328 Pipilu trademark, the 8229932 fairy tale king trademark, No. 5423972 Shuker trademark struggle to protect rights. ”
He added: "I also want readers to cheer me on. The way to refuel is that everyone respects intellectual property rights, advocates originality, despises plagiarism, and stays away from businesses and goods that illegally profit through unfair competition. The 7197328 Pipilu trademark, the 8229932 fairy tale king trademark, the 5423972 Shuk trademark, my letter to you is coming to an end. Finally, I would like to give you three trademarks a word: Do not do to others what you do not want. ”
