Chapter Ninety-Nine: New Pseudonym - "Yueguan"!
Classroom office.
Just as He Yun was thinking about which magazine to submit to, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He couldn't help but look towards the door, and saw a little girl standing in the doorway.
"Teacher He, can I come in?"
"It's Li Yan? Come on in! Just as I'm going to look for you, too. He Yun saw that Li Yan was coming, so he beckoned to her and said.
In the past few days, although he has been busy writing "The Sweep of the Six Kingdoms in the Bright Moon of the Qin Period", he has not forgotten to rewrite Li Yan.
No, just last night, he wrote "The Legend of the Yue Female Swordsman" written by Li Yan, oh! Wrong! Now it should be called "The Biography of Yue Qing" to be corrected.
That's right!
In order to alternate the historical background of the novel, He Yun directly changed the heroine's name to "Yue Qing".
The implication is naturally self-evident, Yue Guo Aqing!
"Teacher He, have you finished correcting my novel?" Li Yanxing hurriedly walked up to He Yun and couldn't wait to ask.
"It's been corrected, so I'll make you wait for two more days, you take this manuscript first, and I'll tell you about some of the important things I changed."
As he spoke, He Yun took out the original manuscript from the bottom of the drawer and handed it to Li Yan, and then he continued: "First of all, the name of the novel, in order to make it easier for your novel to pass the review, I suggest that you change it to "The Biography of Yue Qing", and secondly, it is the historical background of the novel, I suggest that you change the Spring and Autumn Period to the world of Jiuzhou, especially the three kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Chu, you can change it to Wu Yueguo, Minyue Kingdom, and Hubei State or Qianguo, but you must not use Chu State......"
"In the end, it's the name of the character in the novel, you can't use your real name, you have to change to a similar name, about these, I'll help you think about it, you just follow my modifications above."
"As for the general historical events and the main line of the novel, these don't need to be modified, I don't think there is a big problem."
When He Yun said this, he was afraid that Li Yan still wouldn't understand, so he continued to explain: "In general, the biggest problem with your novel is that it is too real, things like character names, country names and place names must be replaced by similar or aliases, as for the reason, it is also very simple, you must be clear that what you write is not a historical novel after all, and some things must not be written, otherwise, even if it passes the review of the magazine, it will cause huge controversy, do you understand?" ”
After He Yun said this, he looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan was stunned, thought for a while, looked at He Yun and said, "Teacher He, I understand, I listen to you!" ”
Actually, Li Yan still half understood at the moment, but she believed that He Yun should not harm her, so she immediately nodded.
In this regard, He Yun naturally saw it, but he didn't delve into it, but continued: "Remember, don't be in a hurry to change it in class, everything should still be based on learning, don't delay your study in order to write a novel!" ”
Li Yan thought about He Yun's advice and nodded solemnly: "Teacher He, I understand what you mean, in fact, my grandfather told me the same thing." ”
"Oh...... Township Chief Li said the same thing? He Yun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded.
After Li Yan left with the manuscript, He Yun also left the classroom office and returned to his dormitory.
He plans to refine "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms" as soon as possible, and is ready to submit it next month.
However, before that, he has to think carefully about the platform and pen name.
Needless to say, he had to change to a new pen name this time.
The two pen names "Beiming" and "Man Jianghong" must no longer be used in "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweeping Six Kingdoms".
The reason should be understood by everyone.
After all, the tree is very popular, especially in the current era, it is not a good thing to be famous at a young age.
But changing a pen name or submission platform is different, at least it can reduce some risks and avoid some troubles.
Moreover, these two pen names are not very suitable for historical novels such as "The Bright Moon of the Qin Dynasty Swept the Six Kingdoms".
"What new pseudonym should I choose?" He Yun pondered carefully, he lowered his head and looked at the manuscript on the table.
Suddenly, a pen name of a famous online history god flashed in his mind.
"Yueguan!"
"Maybe my new pen name can use this!"
"Uh...... Yueguan God, I'm really sorry, I'll use your pen name first! ”
Well, this pen name is really not because He Yun wants to rub off on the popularity, but because this pen name is too suitable for the novel "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms" that he wrote at the moment.
First of all, the word "Yueguan", taken together, is the word "I", and it just so happens that the protagonist of "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweeping Six Kingdoms" is Qin Shi Huang.
As the first emperor of our country, the word "I" has only become the emperor's special word since then.
Secondly, the pen name "Yueguan" also fits well with the name of the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series of works.
After all, both of them have the word "month"!
As for this last reason, it is very simple, purely because He Yun feels that this pen name is too rich in history and culture.
As the saying goes, "Qin Shimingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March has not been returned, but the dragon city will fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain!" ”
Taking such a pen name, He Yun felt that it was too imposing, which was in line with the temperament of the protagonist "Qin Shi Huang".
…………
Once you've decided on this pen name, the next step is to consider a submission platform.
The first thing He Yun excluded was the publishing houses of Xiangjiang and Wanwan.
It's not because he has any opinions about the publishers in these two regions, or because he is not optimistic about the submission platforms in these two regions.
It is really because of the current special era that it is not suitable for him, a demobilized soldier, to submit articles to the publishing houses in these two regions.
After all, his identity is there, and once he gets into big trouble because of this, he will have to squat in the small black house for at least a few years, and maybe even his rebirth journey will be over directly.
Moreover, at present, it is not very convenient to mail things to the publishing houses in these two regions, and there may not be a response for half a year.
Therefore, instead of this, it is better to focus on the publishing houses in the mainland.
Of course, not all publishing houses in mainland China are necessarily suitable as a submission platform for his novel.
He needs to exclude those traditional serious literary platforms of national brands, such as "Contemporary" magazine, "Red Flag" magazine, and so on.
Not because none of these platforms are good enough, but because none of them are suitable for this novel of his.
You must know that in his novel "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms", although the latter part of the plot contains a lot of "fantasy power", he handled it just right.
For example, the Taoist sages, who associated it with the pre-Qin arts, and the Mohist giants among the hundreds of schools, combined with the mechanism technique, puppet technique and Luban technique, to create a character image between historical truth and historical illusion, which can withstand scrutiny to a certain extent.
And, let's not forget, it's the mid-80s, and the "qigong craze" has already risen.
In this way, although this novel has a lot of "extraordinary power", most of the characters and plots are shaped according to real historical prototypes, and it makes sense to call it a "historical novel".
And since it is a historical novel, it is natural that it cannot be submitted to those traditional literary platforms.
He thinks that the two platforms of "Reader's Digest" and "Story Club" are very good, and the style of literary works published on the platforms is also more suitable for his novel.
