Chapter 255: New Science Fiction and Traditional Chinese Version!
With this admission letter, the matter of the postgraduate entrance examination is naturally guaranteed.
In the future, although this lesson will still be taken, there will be more time for creation.
This also gave He Yun a new creative idea, and the letter he had just received strengthened his idea.
"In that case, let's continue to create sci-fi, but this time I have to change directions."
Previously, he had already written two science fiction articles, "Dream of the Future" and "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", and if he repeated the creation of this kind of science fiction, it would definitely not be a breakthrough.
Since there is no major breakthrough, why should he repeat and repeat.
After thinking about it, He Yun couldn't help but look at the black notebook on the table and turned it to one of the pages.
I saw that it read: "A storm suddenly swept the Pacific coast, and the "Jiaolong-1" scientific research ship I was riding encountered unprecedented challenges....... nano-scale satellite positioning failed, and the meter-wave radar was also destroyed by the storm, and we could only locate our own position according to the most primitive positioning method."
"Half an hour later, we obtained the latest damage report of the research ship, and we found that all external contact was forcibly cut off in a way that we could not understand, and what frightened us even more was that at this moment, a translucent colorful light curtain appeared on the sea around the research ship......
"Why don't you just write this? As for the name...... Let's put it off for now! ”
This sci-fi plot fragment was accidentally written by He Yun before, and when he wrote "Hou Yi Running to the Moon", he had considered writing it as a sci-fi.
If science fiction such as "Hou Yi Running to the Moon" is to explore the starry sky of the universe, then this science fiction is to explore the mysterious seabed of the earth.
Although both are linked to extraterrestrial civilizations, there are still essential differences in the direction of creation.
Because of the latter, the bottom of the sea is the key to creation.
You know, two-thirds of the Earth's sphere is the ocean, and there are too many secrets in the ocean, even in the 21st century, these secrets cannot be fully known by humans.
In fact, since ancient times, many people have explored the secrets of the seabed.
In modern times, with the advent of submarines, it has become more convenient to explore the bottom of the sea.
It's just that the diving depth of a submarine is limited after all, and for the deepest part of the seabed, even a good submarine cannot dive to the end.
Later, some submersibles designed for underwater exploration appeared, and people discovered that the underwater world in the extreme depths is not as everyone imagined, there are no underwater creatures, nor is it as everyone imagined, it is pitch black.
Of course, that's all a stretch.
In a word, the bottom of the sea is mysterious, and human beings have too much speculation and curiosity about these mysteries.
And when it comes to literary creation, nature is no exception.
Among them, the most famous work is naturally the French writer Verne's classic science fiction "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
As a classic science fiction for undersea exploration, although the story is very simple, the literary structure is mainly travelogue exploration, and there is no brain-burning plot, but don't forget, this is a work in the eighties of the 19th century.
Being able to have such a rich imagination is inseparable from the author's profession and experience.
And He Yun's science fiction is also based on the "underwater world".
However, compared with "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", his science fiction is not about the exploration of the underwater world, but about fighting the mysterious phenomenon of the sea surface that suddenly appears.
As for whether this series of mysterious phenomena was carried out by aliens? Or was it the work of other ancient civilizations? In this article, he does not intend to write about it.
The reason, of course, is to create a sense of mystery in order to leave more room for the reader's imagination.
........
Time passed little by little, and two hours passed.
Based on the sci-fi fragments in his notebook, He Yun quickly expanded a general story framework.
But at this point, he put down the pen in his hand and stopped.
Next. He wasn't going to go on.
Although this science fiction article will still be a short story, and the number of words will not exceed 10,000 words, the professional terms and various plot designs involved in it are not something that can be thought of in a short period of time.
And he has more important things to do now.
That's right!
He had to write a reply to the magazine "Science Fiction Literature and Art" immediately.
It turned out that just today, he received a letter from the magazine "Science Fiction Literature and Art", which was written by the editor-in-chief Liang.
The content of the letter is very simple, just one, hoping that he can authorize "Science Fiction Literature and Art" to cooperate with a publishing house in Xiangjiang to jointly publish the traditional version of his work "Hou Yi Running to the Moon".
Previously, the Chinese simplified version of "Hou Yi Benyue" had been published, and the sales were quite good, and He Yun also received a manuscript fee.
However, science fiction is an "unpopular" literature in China after all, although the sales are okay, but compared to those orthodox literature, it is more than a little bit worse.
For this reason, when He Yun learned that his science fiction work could be published in English, he agreed without hesitation.
Now, "Science Fiction Literature and Art" plans to publish a traditional version with a publishing house in Xiangjiang, and he naturally has no reason to refuse.
In fact, how did He Yun know that in order to make the mainland's science fiction go to the world, the editor-in-chief Liang was not less busy.
No, in order to be able to publish the traditional version with the Xiangjiang Publishing House, he found a lot of relationships, and in the end, the publishing house over there felt that this science fiction was really well written, and he reluctantly agreed with the mentality of giving it a try.
But it is precisely because of this that the publishing houses in Xiangjiang have put forward many harsh conditions, including terms such as authors' royalties.
He Yun roughly estimated that if he agreed to these terms and authorized them, the royalties would be at least one-third less than the normal amount, or even more.
But even so, he still chose to agree.
Because at present, there are too few mainland writers who can publish their works in Xiangjiang. And in the entire Chinese circle, there are even fewer influential mainland writers.
If we can take this step this time, it may be a new world.
........
A few days later, the school stopped teaching and officially entered the final exam session.
On the afternoon of the day after the exam, I went straight to the winter vacation.
He Yun and Gao Yunyan reluctantly said goodbye, and then he took a boat back home.
"I'm back!" The moment he walked into the hall with his luggage, He Yun shouted at the kitchen.
But to his surprise, there seemed to be no one at home.
"This door is open, why is there no one at home?" He Yun muttered, put down his luggage, and walked into the kitchen.
