Chapter 193: Race to Publish?

Hearing He Yun praise Li Yan like this, on the side, the sixth sister He Xiaolian couldn't help but pursed her mouth and muttered in a low voice.

Although her voice was small, He Yun still heard what she said.

"That's it! Girl, don't be disappointed, study hard, this is your biggest task now, if you really want to write like Li Yan, then be admitted to high school first. ”

"Fourth brother, this is what you said! I'll go upstairs and do my homework right away! Hearing He Yun say this, the sixth sister He Xiaolian immediately smiled, and after she said a word to He Yun, she quickly ran upstairs.

"This girl...... Wait, she just said homework? Summer homework? This girl hasn't finished writing yet? It's been more than a month off, hasn't she finished writing yet? ”

He Yun muttered secretly, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Obviously, he didn't have much hope for this girl's words.

…………

A week later, it was mid-August.

The weather seems to be hotter, and every day is a big sun, and at its highest, it reached 38 degrees at one point.

During this time, He Yun received several letters one after another.

In addition to Gao Yunyan's letter saying that her leg was recovering well and she also received an admission letter, he also received a reply letter from the magazine "Science Fiction Literature and Art".

Maybe it's because he wrote "Dream of the Future" before, this time his science fiction "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", although there are many words, they still promised him in the letter that they would arrange as many pages as possible to publish his science fiction, and they directly offered a high price of 38 yuan and 1,000 words.

You know, now it's 1986, 38 yuan and 1,000 words, which is already a very high manuscript fee.

And his book has a total of more than 115,000 words, so calculated in this way, it is close to 4,400 yuan in manuscript fees.

Gee......! More than 4,400 yuan! It's enough for his family to build a new two-story building.

In addition to mentioning these in the letter, they also said in the letter that as long as He Yun agreed to let them publish, they would arrange for him to publish it.

In this regard, He Yun naturally chose to agree to them immediately without hesitation.

No, he immediately wrote a reply letter and sent it back to the magazine "Science Fiction Literature and Art".

A few days later, He Yun received the latest issue of "Contemporary" literary sample, which prominently published the first chapter of "Spy on the Lonely Island", and also used a tofu block-sized page to briefly introduce him as the author.

Looking at this tofu block layout, He Yun suddenly smiled, and then opened the letter sent together.

Sure enough, he saw what he wanted to see.

The letter said that the magazine had already contacted the People's Literature Publishing House, and as long as he nodded and agreed, they would arrange for the publication of his "Spy on the Lonely Island" as soon as possible.

It can be said that He Yun, a rookie writer, has passed the "novice period" and has begun to transform into a "veteran writer".

"It seems that I can only refuse the Fleur magazine!" He Yun thought about it and quickly made a decision.

In the afternoon, he went to the post office again and sent the reply.

…………

A few days later, the provincial capital.

"Furong" magazine, editor-in-chief Wu Cheng frowned when he looked at the reply in his hand.

"Was he actually cut off by the People's Literature Publishing House and the "Contemporary" magazine? No, this "Far Island Spy", our magazine must stay, at least the publication authorization must be won! This is the work of our Hunan Provincial writers, and it is also the new work of the winner of this year's Hunan Provincial Youth Literature Award, how can other magazines be the first to appear? ”

Thinking of this, Wu Cheng immediately began to pick up the pen and start writing, but after writing for a while, he suddenly thought of something, immediately picked up the phone on the table and called someone.

"Lao Kang, it's me, Lao Wu, yes! There's one thing I'd like to ask you to help me with, right...... Well...... That's right, the winner of this year's Youth Literature Award in Hunan Province has a man named He Yun, who sent a new work to our magazine, I read it, it's very good, but the problem is that he also sent the manuscript to the Kyoto "Contemporary" literary magazine......"

"Oooh oh...... I see, I'll send a telegram right away...... Good...... I see, it's up to you to contact you over there in Kyoto, right, that's okay...... Okay, I'm sorry, goodbye! ”

After Wu Cheng made this call, he immediately left his office and went to the post office.

…………

Yincheng, regional Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Director Li was hunched on the table, wearing glasses and writing something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Hearing the knock on the door, Director Li couldn't help but look up at the hidden office door and said immediately.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young man walked in with a telegram.

"Xiao Liu, is there something wrong with me?" Director Li looked up at the visitor and couldn't help asking.

The young man smiled and handed the telegram in his hand to Director Li: "Director Li, look at this." ”

"Oh...... Telegraph? Who sent it? Let me see...... Hey...... Wu Cheng, editor-in-chief of Furong magazine? Let me go to He Yun to talk about the publication of the new work "Far Island Spy"? ”

"Wait...... Far Scry? New? I seem to have heard Xiao He mention his new work before, and he said that he sent the manuscript to the "Furong" magazine, is this what he refers to? ”

Director Li muttered a few words secretly, and couldn't help but raise his head and say to the young man: "Xiao Liu, you go out first, I'll call you if there's something!" ”

"Okay, Director Li!" The young man replied, and turned to leave.

At this time, Director Li sorted things out, looked at the telegram in his hand, he seemed to understand something, and immediately left the office.

…………

For these, He Yun obviously didn't know that at this moment, he was looking at the manuscript that Li Yan had brought over.

"Hmm...... Not bad! Yes, the follow-up plots are all very well written, and the part written before is on the same level, and even faintly exceeds some, especially the part at the end, which not only leaves suspense, but also can be seen as a happy ending, do you want to write a sequel? ”

After He Yun commented on the follow-up manuscript she brought, he couldn't help but look at her and asked.

"Yes, Mr. He, I want to write a sequel, but I may not be able to write a ......!"

"You're worried about repeating what happened last time, right? Don't worry, the teacher has already thought about it for you this time, the platform you submitted this time will be a magazine specializing in children's literature, and you should have no problem writing this book so well. ”

He Yun comforted Li Yan, looked at her again and said, "By the way, have you thought of a good name?" ”

"I've thought about it, but, Mr. He, let's talk about it first!" Li Yan nodded, but smiled, and looked at He Yun.

"I ...... Okay, then I'll talk about ...... first! ”
