At the capital airport, Zheng Qian just got off the plane and was picking up his suitcase in the baggage hall, when he felt that something was wrong, many people in the crowd around him were taking pictures of himself with their mobile phones, and he immediately bared his teeth and said to Ren Xin next to him: "Do I have leeks on my teeth?"

Ren Xin glanced at him suspiciously: "No!"

Zheng Qian was immediately relieved, and then put one hand in his pocket, turned in a circle in the air with the other, inserted his sideburns, put on a few cool poses in a row, and smiled and waved to the surrounding crowd.

Ren Xin was about to laugh.

But the crowd around them suddenly became excited, and several particularly bold young people ran over to ask Zheng Qian for a group photo.

Zheng Qian agreed.

Not to mention, Zheng Qian's popularity in the south is not conspicuous, but in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, Zheng Qian's face is obviously recognizable, although there is no treatment of a big star, but there are still many people who come forward to take photos along the way.

"Zheng Qian, you are much more handsome than on TV!"

"Come on, I love watching your "Singer" very much!"

"Dude, you sang "Left Finger Moon" so well, I support you to win the championship!"

"Cao Wei's grandson is not a thing, I didn't expect it to be such a person, Zheng Qian, come on!"

Zheng Qian thanked him again and again.

After returning to the apartment, Zheng Qian found that there were two registered letters stuffed in the mailbox at the door, he took them out casually, opened the door while opening them, and after seeing the letters in the registered letters, Zheng Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and inside was a reply from the magazine "Science Fiction World", "Welcome the writer Zheng Qian to continue to serialize "The Three-Body Problem" in "Science Fiction World".

The "Three-Body Problem" he submitted before was actually hired!

At the same time, there is also a postal bank withdrawal slip in the envelope, which is printed with Zheng Qian's name and the amount of 12,000 yuan.

Zheng Qian contributed more than 20,000 words to the beginning of "The Three-Body Problem", and "Science Fiction World" was given a one-time journal registration at the price of 500 words per 1,000 words, and automatically participated in the Galaxy Award Science Fiction Essay Competition, while the copyright still belongs to the author himself.

And this price is also in the middle of the essay in "Science Fiction World", which is much stronger than the price of newcomers, Zheng Qian is naturally overjoyed.

Another registered letter is the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" magazine and the follow-up reminder letter of "Three-Body Problem".

Because it is a monthly magazine, the latest issue was printed three days ago, and the whole magazine is very exquisite, the cover is a mechanic's face, and the brain is explicit, and the lower left corner is the name of the wonderful article in this issue, and the word "Three-Body Problem" is impressively listed.

Zheng Qian tore through the plastic skin, opened the magazine according to the catalog, and found the article page of "The Three-Body Problem", with dense text accompanied by an animated picture of an astronomical launch pad pointing to outer space, Zheng Qian was happy to see it.

I don't know if the sales are good or not!

Zheng Qian didn't care too much, after all, it was a serialized journal, and they paid the manuscript fee, and the follow-up had nothing to do with him, he just needed to serialize "The Three-Body Problem" in "Science Fiction World", and then wait for the publisher to come to him.

He is not worried about "The Three-Body Problem" hitting the streets, such a grand and exquisite world view and all kinds of magical settings are not available in the Chinese science fiction industry before, and it will inevitably be a blockbuster.

Then, he didn't continue to pack his luggage, turned around and happily took his ID card to the postal bank across the road to take out the money, and held it in his hand, which made Zheng Qian's heart quite steady.

Although he achieved good results in the "Singer" program, he recorded a total of two episodes, and there was no notice fee when he recorded the first time, and he was given 2,000 yuan for labor fees when he was promoted for the second time.

It was a great joy to get 12,000 yuan like today, and he was already ready to be generous once, and called Ren Xin and Lin Qianqian and others to have dinner in the evening, and eat enough xiaolongbao.

He turned around and took out the remaining manuscript and sent it to "Science Fiction World", a total of 60,000 words, and then he didn't go to the company to report again, washed up a little, moved his muscles and bones, and continued to squat at home to code words.

......

As the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World" and one of the judges of the Galaxy Award essay competition, Zhang Hanting's task is to discover potential science fiction writers, and "The Three-Body Problem" was personally discovered by him and specially introduced to the editor-in-chief.

Although this novel and unique work is only 20,000 words, its novel idea and grand opening have already impressed the editor-in-chief.

"The writing skills are profound, the imagination is unbridled, and all the assumptions are well-founded, it is a standard hard science fiction writer, the Chinese science fiction industry needs such a writer, I think we can leave it to wait and see, if the follow-up performance is strong, I can nominate a candidate for the Galaxy Award." ”

The editor-in-chief's comments made the entire magazine look at the novel "The Three-Body Problem" with admiration, but in the industry, Zheng Qian's entire name is indeed not found.

"It should be a newcomer, and life may be extremely poor, you see, his submission method is handwritten, more than 20,000 words of ballpoint pen handwriting!"

"Rare craftsmanship!"

"I like "The Three-Body Problem", this style of writing is radical and chic, I have never seen it before, and the most important thing is imagination, which is exactly what I have been looking for for so many years. ”

"Why are there so few hard science fiction in our country? It is because of the lack of such majestic imagination and, of course, most importantly, the possession of strong physics skills! In the literary world, there are very few such writers. ”

"Han Ting, you've found a treasure!"

"This year's Galaxy Award essay submissions are scarce, and high-quality products are even more scarce, most of the older generation of science fiction writers have closed their pens, and the younger generation likes to read martial arts novels and romance novels.

If there is a lot of feedback from readers, Hanting, I think it is more important than anything else that you can personally interview the author of "The Three-Body Problem", properly urge the manuscript, appropriately mention the price, improve the author's life, and let the author continue to maintain his love for science fiction literature. ”

Colleagues admonished one after another, and Zhang Hanting naturally saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

For example, this kind of writer who can write hard science fiction has accumulated a huge foundation in physics, even if he does not write novels, he can make achievements in other aspects, but the lack of material is also obvious, and at this stage, writers who can write more than 20,000 words by hand are like very rare.

If it weren't for their passion, who would want to endure hardships and spend hours a day writing?

Therefore, how not to let the science fiction literature world lose such a writer who will lay a new foundation for the science fiction industry in the future has become an urgent problem in the hearts of the editors of "Science Fiction World" at this time.
