1986 was destined to be an extraordinary year for He Yun, who was "reborn".

This year, he unexpectedly got the opportunity to study at Yincheng Normal School, and gained his other half, and then, he won two literary awards one after another.

The publication of several new works has been a huge success, which not only made him famous in the entire writers' circle, but also gave his works the opportunity to be adapted into comics, radio dramas, and even movies.

It can be said that it took him only one year to do what others could not do in three or even five years.

And in addition to these gains, this year, he received many additional surprises.

For example, "postgraduate entrance examination", and various invitation letters come in one after another.

There are also various honorary titles, just like the "invitation to draft" letter he received today, which has a lot to do with the honorary title of "Pioneer Standard-bearer of Reform Theory" that he once received.

It turned out that just this morning, He Yun received another letter of invitation, which was sent by the Hunan Provincial Daily

There is only one content in the letter, and I hope that he will continue to write some articles on the topic of reform.

But this time, he chose to decline politely.

The reason, of course, is that there is no time.

His current time is almost eager to break one minute into two minutes, and even the opportunity to meet Gao Yunyan is pitiful, every time he takes advantage of the time to accompany her to the class to chat for a while before class, and at other times, he is either reading the postgraduate examination book or reading the postgraduate examination book.

As for the only new work he is writing, "Love in Lakes and Mountains", it has been delayed again and again, except for writing a little every night, he has never considered writing other new works.

In fact, during this period of time, he not only declined the Hunan Provincial Daily, but even the recent invitation letters from other magazines, he also declined them one by one.

…………

Magic City, the editorial department of "Story Club".

As a magazine that was founded in the 60s and then ceased and resumed, today's "Story Club" has not fully entered the lives of ordinary people.

As the editor-in-chief, He Wei naturally has a deep understanding of this.

Although he is no longer the young man in his twenties, although he has taken over the position of editor-in-chief for almost ten years, and although the word "revolution" has been removed from the front of "Story Club", he still has not fulfilled the wish he had when he first entered the editorial department of "Story Club".

At that time, he had just graduated and was in his twenties, but he had already become the head of the editorial department of "Story Club", and he remembered that he had secretly vowed that he hoped to bring "Story Club" into thousands of households, so that the topic of conversation at the dinner table would revolve around the stories published in "Story Club".

However, it has been almost ten years, and although the magazine has made great progress, such as opening a school for writing stories, holding a Qiandao Lake storytelling pen meeting, and even holding an essay competition, it has still not fulfilled his original wish.

"Alas......" He Wei thought of this, he couldn't help but snuff out the cigarette butts in his hands, he glanced at the two desks in front of him, and said: "Lao Lu, Lao Xiao, the last two issues of the weird and strange talk column, there don't seem to be any good works?" If this continues, I will have to cancel this new column, but you promised me that there will only be three chances, and if there are no good works in the next monthly magazine, I will ......"

"Editor-in-chief, we have sent letters of invitation to many authors, and I believe that there should be good works." Editor Xiao Shiyuan turned around and smiled at He Wei and said.

Lu Zhan, an old editor sitting on the other side, hesitated for a moment, followed closely and said: "Editor-in-chief, I have an article here, but I can't make up my mind." ”

"Oh...... Lao Lu, and when you, the old editor, can't decide? What the hell is it? You let me see? At this time, Xiao Shiyuan couldn't help but be interested when he heard the words of the old editor Lu Zhan.

He immediately stood up from his desk and walked in front of Lu Zhan.

The new column was proposed by him and his old editor Lu Zhan, in order to dig up more folk tales, especially some strange things, in order to attract more readers to watch "Story Club".

In this regard, He Wei, as the editor-in-chief, also agreed at the beginning, but He Wei also said at that time that he would only give them three trial issues, and if there was no big response to this new column, it would be withdrawn.

And now it has been tried out for two phases, but now the response is mediocre, which makes both of them very unwilling.

No, for this matter, not long ago, the two decided to take the initiative to send invitation letters to "famous" writers in the writers' circle after repeated discussions.

But what disappointed them was that after these invitation letters were sent, there was either no response or polite decline, and even if they received some new manuscripts, most of them did not have any good works.

This made the two of them look in their eyes and be anxious in their hearts.

You must know that in a few days it will be the day when the next issue of "Story Club" will be finalized, and if they can't come up with good works, they will have to remove this new column that they have won so hard.

"Huh...... Lao Lu, who wrote it? It's really written...... It's really fantastic, archaeology and folklore combined, and it contains elements of fantasy, adventure, thriller, etc., which ...... Editor-in-chief, I'm afraid we've received a great one. ”

At this moment, Xiao Shiyuan took the manuscript handed over by Lu Zhan, and he was a little speechless with excitement, he seemed to have seen a peerless masterpiece.

And this scene also made the editor-in-chief He Wei, who was sitting in his seat, look weird.

He muttered to himself, "Is it really that good? ”

Somewhat unconvinced, he immediately walked over from his desk, and he took the manuscript in Xiao Shiyuan's hand and glanced at it.

"Archaeological Notes: The Tomb of King Lang on the Night? This is...... Archaeology? The Tomb of King Yoro? Is there really such a tomb? ”

After reading the title, He Wei was confused, but as he continued to look down, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed.

And the surprise on his face made Xiao Shiyuan and the old editor Lu Zhan, who were standing on the side, full of expectation.

After a while, He Wei finished reading this tight and thrilling short story.

At this moment, he stood in place, and suddenly fell silent.

After dozens of breaths, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the old editor Lu Zhan, and asked urgently: "Old Lu, which great writer's work is this?" ”

"Uh...... Editor-in-chief, You may not believe it, this is written by a young writer, and people are known for writing military and science fiction essays, I also listened to a friend's introduction at the time, so I sent him a letter of invitation, but I didn't have much hope at the beginning, but now ...... For this one, I really can't believe he wrote it. ”

Speaking of this, the old editor Lu Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, Xiao Shiyuan, who was pondering on the side, suddenly brightened his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Lao Lu, you can't be talking about the Man Jianghong who won the first Huaxia Galaxy Science Fiction Award, right?" ”

"Hmm...... It's him, Man Jianghong is his pen name, his real name is He Yun, he is only twenty-one years old this year, very young, but do you know? He has now published several works of excellent quality. ”

"Ahem...... Lao Lu, hurry up and write to him...... No! Send him a telegram directly, saying that our "Story Club" is willing to spend 1,000 words and 40 manuscripts to publish him, and by the way, help me ask him if there is a sequel to this one, I think you may be able to try to change this new column to the "Archaeological Notes" series, maybe ......"

Speaking of this, the editor-in-chief He Wei seems to see the moment when his wish is about to come true.
