The purpose of Xing Xinyi's visit this time is indeed to ask for a science fiction essay from Huo Yaowen, but the reason is not that he said that it is for the readers of "Cosmic Dust", but to promote the results of his coming to Hong Kong to participate in this Asian literary and cultural exchange meeting after returning to Japan!

That is to draw the world-renowned science fiction master Huo Yaowen to the creation of miniature creations!

Speaking of which, I have to mention Japan now.

The current Japan is basically dominated by reasoning and plots, and the market for science fiction naturally exists, otherwise, Huo Yaowen's books would not be so popular in Japan.

There is a market for it, but there are still relatively few good Japanese sci-fi artists, don't look at the many sci-fi books created by Xing Shinichi, but these are only a few thousand words of miniature, in today's words, it is a big enough brain, enough reversal and drama.

This kind of miniature is indeed very good to read, one is that the number of words is small, the second is that the story is relatively complete, and the third is that the brain hole is big enough, just like Xing Xinyi's "Hey, Come Out", with science fiction as the coat, and then use exaggerated techniques to explain the story of human overdestruction of the earth.

Despite its good qualities, such as being short and concise, it still can't attract the attention of most readers and cultivate those readers into long-term loyal fans like long-form science fiction essays.

For example, Yoshiki Tanaka's "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" was written for a total of seven or eight years, during which time it not only cultivated a large number of loyal readers, but also deepened the stickiness of these readers.

It's like writing "Game of Thrones", which has not been finished for more than 20 years, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the last one.

It's not that Xing Xinyi has never written long-form science fiction, but after its publication, the response was mediocre, and it was not as attractive as the miniature science fiction he created, so since then, he has been focusing on creating miniature science fiction.

As for asking Huo Yaowen to write a sci-fi essay, Xing Xinyi just wants to improve his authoritative position in the micro field, just like the six scholars.

If Huo Yaowen's sci-fi essays are not as good as the several long-form sci-fi masterpieces he created before, then Xing Xinyi's status in miniature sci-fi will be more respected, and fortunately, in Japan, he boasts that not everyone is proficient in miniature sci-fi, even the world-renowned sci-fi master Huo Yaowen can't write a good one.

If the essay is well written, it will not have much impression on Xing Xinyi, and he will also say that he successfully opened up the market of Huo Yaowen, a well-known science fiction master, in the miniature barren land of Hong Kong.

"I've written a few sci-fi essays before, and since Mr. Xing said it so sincerely, I'll leave it to you to release Cosmic Dust in Japan. ”

Seeing that Xing Xinyi was half-bent over, Huo Yaowen thought about it, nodded and agreed to his plea, anyway, these short articles are going to be published, and they will be handed over to Xing Xinyi to be published in Japan, and it will not affect the distribution in his own weekly magazine.

Xingxin was stunned for a few seconds, but he didn't expect Huo Yaowen to write several articles, and then his face was happy, and he said happily: "Thank you so much Mr. Huo." ”

"Yaowen, you wrote it so quickly?"

Zhang Chengyi remembered that on the first day of the exchange meeting, he mentioned writing a short science fiction essay on education.

"Well, it's all short essays of a few thousand words, just write it, and it will be written quickly. Huo Yaowen said, let them wait, went upstairs to the study and took down a few science fiction essays written at home in the past two days, and by the way, took a pen and a stack of brand new manuscripts.

"So many?" Looking at the stack of papers in his hand, Zhang Chengyi was surprised, this is more than a few.

"No, it's just a few pieces of paper, this is to ask Mr. Yu to write a poem. Huo Yaowen looked at Yu Guang and said with a smile.

Yu Guangzhong joked: "So many! Mr. Huo, you want me to copy 300 Tang poems." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "Haha, Mr. Yu said that he laughed, it doesn't take that much, I just took it down." ”

was not in a hurry to let Yu Guangzhong write poems, but sorted out the three short essays written in his hand and handed them to the three of them.

"A village teacher?"

Zhang Chengyi took the manuscript paper, glanced at the title of the first line, and glanced at Huo Yaowen suspiciously, this name doesn't look like a science fiction anymore.

Although the name was strange, he still read it carefully.

He knew that this last lesson was going to be taught in advance. Another sharp pain hit his liver, almost fainting him......"

The opening few hundred words are about a dilapidated and impoverished school, with only one teacher left in the school, and his health is not good, and the rich merchants in the city have already used the factory to pollute the village's environment......

The beginning is a little inexplicable, and there is no complete timeline, and it can't be compared with science fiction, Zhang Chengyi looked at Huo Yaowen and guessed if he took it wrong.

However, seeing Huo Yaowen smiling and signaling him to read on, he also continued to read patiently.

Soon, I saw the sci-fi elements, an interstellar war between the carbon-based federation and the silicon-based empire in the galaxy that spanned 20,000 galactic years, and the scale of this war was beyond human imagination. and then also shows Huo Yaowen's good writing in describing this kind of interstellar war.

Although this "Country Teacher" draws on Da Liu's creativity and basic plot, there is a significant problem in Da Liu's early works, that is, the idea and imagination of the story are very genius, but the rhythm changes and details are particularly thin, and they can't keep up with the development of emotional clues. This aspect is exactly what Huo Yaowen is best at, so it has been appropriately adapted, first of all, blurring the sense of geographical location and age, and then deepening the emotion between students and teachers.

Although it has been revised, there are still some unreasonable things about this science fiction essay for rural teachers, and Huo Yaowen didn't think much about it, after all, this is just a short article, and secondly, as long as the theme is clear, it is normal for some details to be missed.

The number of words is not much, a few thousand words, Zhang Chengyi quickly finished reading it, and the moment he put down the manuscript, he remembered the last paragraph: "You mean the kind of individual who transmits knowledge between two generations of living beings?" "Teacher ----?"

The whole article is very short and very simple, but every word is like a bead, explaining what is called "the spring silkworm to the end of the silkworm, the wax torch to ashes and tears to dry" teachers.

"Rural Teacher" can be said to be an article praising teachers, which is undoubtedly the best article for Zhang Chengyi, who has been teaching for decades!

"Yaowen, you wrote this article well!" Zhang Chengyi couldn't help but sigh.

Huo Yaowen said: "There are still many flaws, and it is the first time to write this kind of sci-fi essay, it is inevitable that you can't control the details." ”

"It's good, I don't see anything bad anyway. Zhang Chengyi shook his head, in his eyes, the article was very well written.

"Mr. Huo!"

Suddenly.

Xing Xinyi stood up abruptly and said excitedly: "This "One Day Prisoner" is so well written, I can't imagine what it is like for a person to cycle forever on the same day, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea!"

Forever living on the same day, no matter what changes Mr. B makes, the time is always fixed on August 18, and all life activities are limited to these twenty-four hours until the end of Mr. B's life that nature has given him.

"Mr. Huo, your article "Truman's World" is quite interesting. ”

Yu Guangzhong raised his glasses, this article is very ironic, although it has the skin of science fiction, but the core is satirical to reality and human nature.
