"Let's go?" Yan Buwen said with a smile. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Let's go." Xiao Rong nodded, leaning on him tightly, wanting his breath to last longer.

Back at the newspaper office, a few people on the first floor of the newspaper office saw Yan Buwen coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Editor-in-chief Yan, there is something ...... something."

"It's the matter of the war, and the sales volume was exceeded by ...... by the "Shanghai News" side."

"It's also a pity that our newspaper's sales are only 100 years short."

Yan Buwen said: "I know." Then he was about to go upstairs, and a few people from behind came up and said: "Mr. Yan, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Mr. Yan doesn't have to mind too much." ”

"Actually, otherwise, the sales of "Shanghai News" rose so terrifyingly on the last day, I am afraid that there is something to be tired of."

"How?"

Someone said: "I also reported this matter to Manager Cao, the penultimate issue of "Shanghai Daily" is only 20,000, why the last issue is directly 26,000, and the circulation of 5,000 during this period is not a decimal. ”

"You say ......"

"Editor-in-Chief Yan, or shall we contact the General Chamber of Commerce to check?"

"Manager Cao seems to have sent someone to go, and there will be news soon."

"That's right, Editor-in-Chief Yan, please don't be discouraged, maybe it's not impossible for this matter to be reversed in the end."

"Well, I understand, I'll leave this matter to you." Yan didn't listen to his head. This made them very surprised, looking at each other, Editor-in-Chief Yan didn't seem to be particularly sad, could it be...... What he has mastered.

Xiao Rong looked at the various expressions of these people and said, "Okay, don't ask, just do what you have to do." ”

"This ......"

"Editor-in-Chief Yan has his own methods, so let's not worry about it." Everyone dispersed, Yan Buwen and Xiao Rong returned to the office on the third floor, and then Ni Hui came in and said, "Mr. Yan, I have already notified Lu Yan that they are coming, and now they are waiting in the Yun'an Teahouse, you can either go over and have a look." ”

Yan Buwen nodded: "I know, is Manager Cao here?" I have something to look for him. ”

Ni Hui said: "Manager Cao had already gone out at noon, as if he had gone to the General Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Chamber of Commerce? Okay, I'll go to Yun'an Teahouse first. Yan Buwen was going to go to the teahouse to have a look first, after all, he lost this appointment with Xiang Shuai, and he was fine, but he didn't know what the three of them thought. A competition is nothing, and I hope it doesn't affect their mentality.

When Yan Buwen was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and then asked Ni Hui: "Are these short stories on the main newspaper of "Zero Point" written by you recently?" Yan Buwen happened to find several good short stories in the main newspaper of "Zero Point" in the past few days, several of which are biased towards reality, and one of them is a science fiction genre.

Ni Hui nodded: "I usually go home and have nothing to do, so I just write a little bit randomly, and then publish it to earn some manuscript fees." The plot was all thought of by me and Cai Xuan, and it was also co-created. ”

"Cai Xuan?" Yan Buwen asked, as if he had heard the name, but he was not very familiar with it.

"Yes, I used to be an editor under Deputy Editor-in-Chief Shi like me."

Yan Buwen praised: "The writing is very good, and there are a lot of praises, and now there are 4,000 copies of the main issue of "Zero". Yan Buwen glanced at the data, because the publication of these short stories has increased sales a lot, enough to 1,000.

Ni Hui was grateful for Yan Buwen's praise, and then Yan Buwen then asked, "You and Cai Xuan, don't you write a manuscript for Shi Mingshi's deputy master." ”

Ni Hui was surprised: "Uh......"

"In the future, if you have time to write more novels, I will tell Tang Bingtang, deputy editor-in-chief, that you can ask him for more remuneration." Yan Buwen said, I don't know how Ni Hui came up with the sci-fi plot, although it was very green, but it made Yan Buwen very surprised. In this day and age, in China, the most fantasy novels are ghosts. There are very few people like Ni Hui who use some scientific theories to create fantasy and then sketch out some wonderful plots beyond the earth. is like "Around the World in 80 Days", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" by Verne in France; "Time Machine", "The Man Who First Landed on the Moon", "When the Sleeper Wakes Up" and so on in Wells, England, are very novel even if you watch them a hundred years later.

Yan Buwen asked Ni Hui to write more science fiction novels, if he continued to create at this level, it would not be an exaggeration for Ni Hui to become the founder of oriental science fiction.

Ni Hui mentioned: "Mr. Yan, I also like to read this kind of surprising novel written by the British and French, which is very different from the traditional martial arts and romance in the East. Mr. Yan just mentioned a concept, that is, science fiction? I wonder if it's the meaning of scientific fantasy fiction? ”

Yan Buwen thought that there is no unified name for science fiction novels now, and the novels written by people like Verne and Wells are only called Gothic (thrilling mystery) novels, mysterious adventures, and future fantasies. When it comes to science fiction, it's Hugo Gunsback in the United States. So Yan Buwen smiled and said, "Yes, that's what it means." "Now that Hugo has only created "Amazing Story", science fiction has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people. If a science fiction magazine is launched here in Shanghai now, it is not impossible to overshadow Hugo's name in the future, and Yan Buwen also believes that the imagination of the Chinese people is certainly not weaker than that of Europeans and Americans. If we can create categories and stimulate the imagination of writers, I am afraid that it will cause an explosion of various types of novels, and Xianxia, fantasy, etc. will also come into being, so that the era of all kinds of hours of contention will come in advance a hundred years later. During this period, the "Zero Point" novel newspaper will also really play a role in laying the foundation.

Then Ni Hui said: "It's better to find a few foreign translators to translate some strange foreign novels, start a special magazine, and create a new category, I don't know if Mr. Yan thinks it's feasible." ”

Yan Buwen said: "Yes, we can focus on foreign science fiction and surprise novels, and then carry out science fiction essay activities in China." I will select people from the editorial department of "Zero" to complete the specific matters. ”

Suddenly, Ni Hui said, "Mr. Yan, why don't you leave this matter to me and Cai Xuan?" We also have some hunting in this category, which is much easier to complete than others. ”

"You have faith?" This is also a new business, with an unknown future and many difficulties.

Ni Hui said in a straight voice: "You can make a military order!" ”

Yan Buwen felt Ni Hui's sincerity, and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, you just go and do it, I will arrange the funds and manpower you need." ”

Ni Hui said: "All magazines must be famous, and please give Mr. Yan a name." ”

"Let's call it 'Galactic Science Fiction', and the subtitle uses Science-fiction, which stands for Science Fantasy." Yan Buwen said, "Science fiction magazines must give people a direct sensory stimulation, go find a few artists, and illustrate the magazine." ”

Ni Hui nodded, excited at the thought of having a magazine born in his hands, although he didn't know the future, he would definitely take care of it like a child.
