Chapter 19 Controversy Continues

"Fantasy World" is behind the scenes, in addition to taking this opportunity to increase popularity, it is also indispensable to demonstrate with the old rival "Science Fiction Sky".

The two magazines have been rivals for many years, and although Fantasy has had a slight advantage in recent years, those sales records have always been controlled by the other, and Fantasy has never won against each other overall.

Now the sales of "Fantasy World" are more than twice that of "Science Fiction Sky", and the gap is huge, and according to this situation, it seems that it is not a big problem to hit the highest sales record of 200,000 copies of science fiction magazines, and it can be regarded as having the capital of Boom.

"According to the news returned, the 150,000 copies of this issue of our fantasy world have indeed been sold out, these are all counted by numbers, there is no need to brag."

As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Wang Yuan was interviewed by the media after the hotly discussed "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", he said: "This is a good phenomenon, before this, both us science fiction practitioners and readers, have lost confidence, and our signed author Xiqiu broke this situation. ”

"Bringing her eyes and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy proves that it's not that science fiction doesn't have a market, it's that we've not done well enough in the past so readers don't buy it, and as long as there is a great story, readers won't be stingy with support."

"I think this is a warning to us practitioners, and it also points out the direction for all science fiction writers, as long as we work in this direction, science fiction will definitely get better and better, and we are full of confidence in the future."

Wang Yuan actually didn't say anything excessive, and didn't even mention "Science Fiction Sky", but he gave a high-profile interview and expressed his views to announce sales, which was already a slap in the face.

What's more, this kind of thing is just like the hype in the entertainment industry, when encountering something, there will always be someone who stands up with a lying gun, whether it is good or bad, whether it is reasonable or not, jumping out and jumping can always attract attention and raise attention, now that science fiction has received unprecedented attention, how could "Science Fiction Sky" let go of such an opportunity.

"The fantasy world is burying the future of science fiction."

The reporter itself is a group of people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has triggered a science fiction boom, and "Science Fiction Sky" is one of the largest science fiction magazines in China, of course, it is the most ideal interview subject, and their editor-in-chief first said this in the face of reporters.

"Because this is not science fiction at all, it is not even soft science fiction, the author does not have a rigorous attitude towards science, what hyperspace fast track, infinite non-probability driven, this is all nonsense by the author, it is conjecture, there is no scientific basis at all, if this is the so-called future of science fiction, then our country's science fiction is really hopeless."

"It's either aliens or science fiction, I really don't know why such a work that should be considered a fantasy novel would be popular in the name of science fiction?"

"It's sad that many people ignore the efforts of real science fiction writers, shouting that there are no good science fiction novels in the country, but they are pursuing such pseudo-science fiction. It is also sad to imagine that the world stuffs everything into it for the sake of sales, like those tabloids that do not enter the stream. ”

"I really don't want to say anything about such a fallen adversary, and if science fiction dies completely, then both the fantasy world and the blind readers are to blame. It's irresponsible magazines and unsuspecting readers who have joined forces to bury the people who really do their best for science fiction. ”

Compared with Wang Yuan, the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction Sky" is much more intense.

"Sister Hongdou, your magazines and the sci-fi sky seem to be pinched up in the air." Zhang Qiuxi was lying on the sofa in the living room, posing in a comfortable posture and talking to Hongdou on the phone, and the TV in front was still on.

"Hey, that's normal." Hongdou didn't think it was a big deal, and said: "Who made your work really popular, even if our magazine doesn't say a word, it will still attract saliva, how can it attract attention without a topic?" ”

"So, the world of adults is really dangerous, and I will become a sinner who buries the future of science fiction in the blink of an eye."

Hongdou on the other side of the phone laughed and said, "I originally thought that you would be depressed when you were criticized, and I was trying to comfort you, but there is no need to listen to your tone." ”

There are many people who are popular, this truth Zhang Qiuxi is very clear, if you are depressed because of such a trivial matter, then it is better to honestly seal the pen, no matter what is the position of Taishan Beidou, it is indispensable to be criticized, everyone is the same.

The editor-in-chief's words are not entirely unreasonable, but it is too biased to define The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as pseudo-science fiction, which is not only not pseudo-science fiction in its original time and space, but is also regarded as a science fiction bible by Western readers.

On this point, the two editors-in-chief of "Fantasy World" and "Science Fiction Sky" have surprisingly consistent views, if because of the difference in time and space, the director's definition of science fiction is also different, Zhang Qiu is willing to weigh it and copy it in the future...... When writing a novel, make corrections, after all, you can't get along with the general environment.

Fortunately, the claim that "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is pseudo-science fiction has caused controversy, so some media investigated, and in the voting on the portal, 97% of people did not agree with this statement, and in the roadside interviews, whether it was a senior science fiction fan or a new contact, they all expressed their approval and like.

There are also many science fiction authors who also said that although "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is "relatively soft", there is no doubt about science fiction.

"Sister Hongdou, this scared me, your editor-in-chief Zhou Haibin doesn't approve of my novel, if the investigation results go wrong, I will be a tragedy."

At the beginning, "Bring Her Eyes" was almost rejected because of Zhou Haibin's relationship, and he has always been reluctant to publish Zhang Qiuxi's works, even if the magazine's sales have increased, it is estimated that it is still the same.

"Our editor-in-chief is just stubborn, and he won't ignore the facts like Chu Li, you can rest assured, even if he doesn't like it personally, as long as it is proven, he will not stop it."

"Chu Li is the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction Sky, and this name seems to be somewhat familiar." Zhang Qiuxi couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

Hongdou explained: "That's right, Chu Li is the editor-in-chief, and he is also a relatively famous science fiction writer. The fundamental reason for the sluggish domestic science fiction market is that readers will only watch the unrealistic fantasy of martial arts. ”

"From the author to the editor-in-chief, is this a success of the uprising?"

It turned out to be this product, Zhang Qiuxi was happy when he heard it, and said: "No wonder many readers say that he denied the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Milky Way completely because of jealousy, I thought it was just a simple disdain for readers, but I didn't expect that there was such a relationship in it." ”

The reader is the author's food and clothing, and he does not reflect on his own writing, but puts the responsibility on the reader's head and belittles the reader's appreciation level.

"Ignore all this, give me the manuscript of the restaurant at the end of the universe, and our entire magazine will be waiting."

——————

Zhang Qiuxi himself doesn't want to pay attention to these things, but the problem is that after the media investigated the readers, the matter did not subside, but tended to get worse.

After the results of the survey came out, many people suddenly said that the results did not represent everyone's opinions, because after all, a small number of people voted, and some people directly said that the results were fake.

There are so many, these people are nothing more than expressing support for Chu Li and his views, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is just pseudo-science fiction, and the story is not as interesting as others say.

"What else is there in this novel other than self-righteous humor and sarcasm for the sake of irony?"

"This author is not writing science fiction material at all, what hyperspace fast track, elementary school students should know about wormhole jumping, right? He wasn't even as good as a schoolboy. ”

"I did laugh after reading this novel, not because the story was interesting, but because I was laughed at the author's ignorance."

At first, people only debated whether "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was science fiction, but later it directly turned into an attack on Zhang Qiuxi, and the number of these people seems to be no less than those who support her.

It's not surprising that Chu Li will have a pump, after all, he is also a well-known writer, although those words have aroused a lot of disgust, but after all, there will be people who think that he is right, as long as he is a celebrity, there are few brainless fans these days.

Only, when did science fiction readers become so many?

"Ah Qiu." Li Yue leaned over and shouted softly.

"My good sister, why are you so careful, as if I would insult you."

Zhang Qiuxi looked at Li Yue's appearance and felt funny, and Li Yue said: "I have read all those reports, and now this matter is arguing on the Internet, I am afraid that you will be unhappy." ”

"People don't know me, don't you know me?" Zhang Qiuxi put his arm around Li Yue's shoulders and said, "Didn't those people say that I am not capable of writing 'real science fiction', then I will write one for them to see." ”

"Hey, didn't you decide to test the waters of martial arts, and changed your mind again?" Li Yue asked in surprise, and then said: "Don't talk about this yet, look here, the fantasy world has released your information, and it seems that those statements still give them a lot of pressure." ”

"The New Science Fiction Writer Turned Out to Be a Female High School Student", the front page of the entertainment section of the newspaper was full of such a headline, Zhang Qiuxi couldn't help but pat his head after reading it, and he felt like he had met a pig teammate.

Others said that her level was not as good as that of elementary school students, so it was announced that she was a high school student, what is this trying to prove?
