Chapter 235: A Letter from "Juvenile Literature and Art"!
He Yun would not have imagined that a short story he wrote casually would cause an "uproar".
Moreover, this time, it is not limited to the "literary world", but across the "archaeological world".
Especially the latter, there are many archaeologists and scholars who write relevant articles in news newspapers to criticize this article called "Archaeological Notes: The Tomb of King Lang on the Night".
They believe that although it can be fictional, it should not be called "archaeology", because in their eyes, archaeology is a very serious matter, and there is no room for "jokes".
In addition, they also feel that so far, the archaeological community has not made further archaeological discoveries about the "Tomb of King Yelang", so they should not "name names" like this, saying that a certain place is the tomb of King Yelang, which is unscientific, unrigorous, and will mislead the people.
Well, if you say that they don't make any sense in what they say, that's not true.
From their point of view, they do have a lot of point.
But as they say, this is only an essay after all, not an "archaeological discovery paper", nor is it reportage.
Nature can be fictional, and there is no legal provision that "archaeology" cannot be written.
Of course, most of the people who refute these archaeologists and scholars are from the literary world, and in their eyes, this is a commendable "precedent", although the fictional component occupies the majority, but you can't deny the excellence of this article.
Moreover, in the following days, a heavyweight archaeologist actually published his opinion in the relevant newspaper.
He said in the newspaper: "For the article "Archaeological Notes on the Tomb of King Lang on the Night", at first, I also thought it was ridiculous, but when I saw so many arguments, I found that the article did not actually violate the relevant laws, nor did it induce everyone to rob the tomb, but the whole article was telling a point of view, that is, the importance of cultural relics protection, and this also made more people pay attention to our archaeologists and archaeological causes, which is worth advocating, we can't deny its positive side because the fiction is too big, After all, it's just ....."
As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused another wave of controversy.
This time, the "main force" of the controversy has changed directly from the literary and archaeological circles to a certain part of the archaeological community and another part of the scholars.
That's right, the person who wrote this article is none other than "Feng Lao", one of the most authoritative experts in the archaeological research of ancient civilizations in the southwest.
As the main researcher of the Sanxingdui civilization, the Yelang civilization and the ancient Dian civilization, his words are naturally extremely weighty.
.........
He Yun also learned about these controversies a few days later.
When he heard all this from Uncle Zhang in the guard room, he couldn't help but cry and laugh.
Because such a violent reaction was something he never expected.
"Didn't you just write a random article? As for such a big reaction? This is not a sensitive subject, and besides, am I also advocating the handing over of cultural relics to the state? If I write about tomb robbing, wouldn't it be ......?"
Thinking of this, He Yun suddenly shook his head slightly.
It is impossible to rob a tomb, and it is impossible to rob a tomb in this life.
"Forget it, let them argue, maybe it will die down after a while." He Yun muttered silently, and then didn't continue to pay attention to this matter.
Because at this moment, he has more important things to pay attention to.
It turned out that just this morning, Yangcheng Times Animation Company finally sent him a telegram.
The content of the telegram is very simple, just one, the overseas sales of the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series and "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit".
Although there are only statistics for the last half month, there is already a trend of "big sales".
Especially the former, in a certain country in Southeast Asia, sells the best, and in Xiangjiang, the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series also has high sales.
Recently, they are also preparing to break these two comics into the "bend" market.
Of course, this time, they will directly let the company in Xiangjiang act as a sole agent, after all, the market over there is more special.
He Yun didn't care much about this, he actually cared more about the sales of the "Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit" series this time.
Compared with the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series, the "Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit" series is more original.
But now, it turns out that his original plot is still not as good as the classics after all.
Let's take the specific sales data of the two this time, in a small country in Southeast Asia, the previous work of the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series plus the sequel, the upper and lower volumes, sold 45,000 copies, which is a small country with a population of only a few million, such sales are already very high.
As for the sales of Xiangjiang, it was even higher, reaching 48,000 copies.
And the "Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit" series of comics, even if you add the sales of Xiangjiang, it is only 20,000 copies, which is a bit big.
"Hey....."
He Yun took the telegram in his hand, but he sighed deeply, but he also understood that he must not give up "originality."
Other people's classics are someone else's after all, you can have someone else's shadow, but you can't have someone else's soul.
"Squeak....."
"Teacher He, are you there? I saw the dorm door was closed, I thought you weren't there? Just as He Yun was pondering, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Deng Chengjun walked in.
At the moment, he is holding a kettle in one hand and a letter in the other.
"Gurg..... Here's another letter from you, Uncle Zhang asked me to bring it to you. Speaking of this, Deng Chengjun handed over the letter.
He Yun took the letter, looked at it, and then put it on the table casually.
Because this letter was sent by a magazine, during this time, he has received a lot of such letters one after another, and it is estimated that it is another "invitation letter".
"Teacher He, why don't you take a look? I just glanced at the envelope, it seems to have been sent by the "Juvenile Literature and Art" magazine in the magic capital? ”
"I know, isn't it "Juvenile Literature and Art"..... Wait a minute, "Juvenile Literature and Art" magazine, why did they send me a letter? And I remember Li Yan's letters, I have always sent them in her name and address, how could they send them to me? ”
This really made He Yun very puzzled, he thought about it, and couldn't help but pick up the letter again and look at the envelope carefully.
He found that the address was correct, the recipient was wrong, and it was indeed sent by the magazine "Juvenile Literature and Art".
"How so? Didn't they send the wrong letter? ”
He Yun muttered in a low voice, and immediately tore open the letter and read it.
"Uh...... Their magazine actually wants to publish the "Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" I wrote? This ....."
At this moment, He Yun was stunned.
This is really a mountain and a river, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
The thought that his book could be published in China made him both happy and a little puzzled.
"How could they take the initiative to write this letter to me? Could it be that there is something else? Is it because of Li Yan? Or ....."
