The next day, at around 10 a.m., He Yun met Director Li.

At this time, he happened to be out of class, and after meeting Director Li in the corridor outside the classroom, the two chatted like this while walking into the distance.

"That's probably the case, Xiaohe, you have to help no matter what!" Director Li turned his head, looked at He Yun and said.

"Yes...... Director Li, how can I help you? You just said that the magazine is currently short of funds, so I can't help you, as for this manuscript, ......"

"Don't worry, I'm already writing it, and it shouldn't be long before I can send it to you."

He Yun's answer made Director Li frown suddenly.

In fact, he came over this time, in addition to the matter of the manuscript, he also hoped that He Yun could give him support and ideas.

After all, He Yun was also one of the founders of the literature of "Dongting", and even when it was founded, many of the opinions he put forward played a key role.

However, at this moment, He Yun said that he couldn't do anything, which couldn't help but make Director Li a little disappointed.

"Xiaohe, are you really helpless about the funding?" At this time, Director Li was still a little unwilling, he looked at He Yun and asked.

"I really can't help it, Director Li." He Yun shook his head and continued, "I suggest that you report this matter to the higher authorities. ”

"It's useless, I've reflected many times before this, but it has never worked." Director Li secretly sighed softly and replied to He Yun.

Hearing his words, He Yun couldn't help but sigh and didn't say anything more.

If it is put in the future, he may still consider "taking over", or becoming the behind-the-scenes boss of a magazine or something.

But now it can't, not to mention whether he has so much money to buy the magazine, even if he has, he can't get the right to operate the magazine, even if it's a tricky model of "affiliation".

Because this is not allowed by the state, and even if it is released to the future generations, the privatization of the publishing house, the formalities are more difficult.

Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, he can obtain the equity of "Dongting" literature, and he does not have the energy to manage it.

"Director Li, I really can't help with this." He Yun shook his head and said again.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I won't force you, please bother more about the manuscript." When Director Li saw He Yun say this, he didn't force it anymore.

…………

Director Li came with anticipation, but left with a disappointed face, He Yun looked at his departing back, couldn't help but sigh heavily, and then turned around and walked towards the library.

After Director Li left Hunan Normal University, he did not leave the provincial capital, but went directly to the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

However, less than half an hour later, he came out again.

"It doesn't seem to be working, so what should I do? Is it really necessary to let the literature of "Dongting" be suspended? ”

For a while, Director Li lowered his head and couldn't help but fall into silence.

After thinking for a moment, he finally had to sigh and return to Yincheng.

At this moment, Yincheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

When Director Li returned, several old editors of the "Dongting" Literary Screenwriting Department hurried back and found him.

"Director Li, how's it going? What did Comrade He Yun say? The first person to ask was the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Ugh......."

Director Li didn't answer, just sat there and sighed softly.

Seeing him like this, the few people who came in a hurry seemed to understand something, and their faces were lost.

They felt that this trip to the provincial capital must have gained nothing.

However, just as everyone was about to leave, Director Li said again: "Xiaohe promised to send us a manuscript in the near future, but it was just a matter of funding, and he said that he couldn't do anything." ”

"So ......"

However, before Director Li could finish speaking, suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Then, a man pushed the door and walked in.

"Knock knock...... Director Li! Director Li, there is your telegram, which was sent by a person named He Yun. ”

When everyone saw that it was Xiao Zheng, who was newly assigned by the magazine, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiao Zheng, what did he just say? A telegram from He Yun?

Did you hear that right? Didn't Director Li just say that He Yun had no way to solve the matter of funding?

Why is it ...... now?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Director Li immediately stood up from the chair, and he hurriedly greeted him and took the telegram from the visitor.

After glancing at the contents of the telegram, he was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha...... I just said, I just said that Comrade He Yun has a way, and sure enough, he showed us a clear way, and we didn't think of it. ”

"Director Li, what did Comrade He Yun say in the telegram?"

"Really? Did you just show the way? Is there a solution to the problem of funding? ”

"Hmm...... Let's all take a look. ”

When Director Li saw that everyone was saying a word, he hurriedly handed the telegram in his hand to everyone.

After reading the contents of the telegram one by one, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at each other, and they all smiled.

After a while, they nodded at Director Li.

However, Zheng Wenjin, who was standing aside at this time, was full of puzzlement.

Who is this He Yun?

Why are people so happy when they read his telegram?

"Ahem...... Lao Liu, who is this He Yun? Why are several old editors and Director Li so happy? Zheng Wenjin asked in a low voice to an old editor beside him.

The old editor didn't hide it, and immediately explained to Zheng Wenjin: "Xiao Zheng, you just came, I don't know that Comrade He Yun is normal, speaking of which, our "Dongting" literary magazine, he is also one of the founders, but he resigned not long after he served as a review editor, and now, he is studying at Hunan Normal University, and yesterday, Director Li went to the provincial capital to find him. ”

"That's the case, but Lao Liu, even if this He Yun is one of the founders, does he have a way to solve the problem of funding?" Zheng Wenjin was still a little puzzled.

"Don't underestimate Comrade He Yun, you kid, he is a famous writer in the country, he has become a member of our provincial writers' association in just three years, and he has won several literary awards, and he has published dozens of long and short stories."

"So powerful? Then he must be an old scholar who has read poetry and books, right? ”

"Hahaha...... You'd be wrong, he's only twenty-three years old. ”

"Twenty-three ......? So young? ”

"Wait? He Yun, twenty-three years old, Lao Liu, you can't say ...... That one, right? At this moment, Zheng Wenjin seemed to think of something.

Although he had just been assigned to the "Dongting" literary magazine this year, he had naturally heard of the name of He Yun, a "senior".

However, before this, he thought that the He Yun mentioned by Director Li was just the same name, and he didn't think about the same person.

But now it seems that I was completely wrong.

"Okay, Xiao Zheng, you can also sit down and listen, let's quickly discuss Comrade He Yun's proposal." At this time, Director Li said a word to Zheng Wenjin, and then turned his attention to the other people present.

Soon, someone chimed in: "Yes, yes...... Let me first state my own opinion, and I fully agree with Comrade He Yun's proposal. ”

"I also agree that we should cooperate with enterprises to hold essay contests and set up literary awards, which can not only solve the financial problem, but also be a long-term plan for the magazine."

"I have no opinion, but Director Li, there are two problems that must be solved now, the first is which enterprise to cooperate with, and the second is to report to the superior to apply for the establishment of a literary award. The essay contest is cool, but the literary award is not ......"

"I'll be in charge of this, Lao Li, the three of you are in charge of the essay competition, Xiao Zheng, you first collect which companies are suitable for us in Yincheng......

…………

Provincial capital, inside a rental house.

At this moment, He Yun was sitting at the table writing a manuscript.

The proposal he gave to Director Li was actually something he had in a flash of inspiration.

It turned out that yesterday, after Director Li left, he went to the library.

When he was collecting materials in the library, he happened to see a newspaper that a certain magazine was holding an essay contest.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering that many literary awards in later generations had cooperated with enterprises, such as the "XX Cup" essay and the title of the "XX" Literary Award, and an idea instantly appeared in his mind.

If this can be done in the future, can it be done now?

With this idea in mind, He Yun immediately began to look for the materials he wanted in the library.

After some searching, he did find some cases.

In fact, what He Yun didn't know was that this kind of cooperation model was very popular in the mid-to-late 80s to 90s, and even the "People's Literature Award" had "sponsorship".

In fact, there is no way to do it, you must know that whether it is an essay contest or a "literary award", the prize money is not high, unless there is a corporate title, otherwise, the general magazine does not have the funds to get these things.

"I just don't know if the higher authorities will approve this matter." He Yun muttered secretly, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and continued to write those two essays.

…………

On this day, He Yun passed by the guard room, and the doorman handed him a letter.

He looked at the envelope and saw that it was sent by Wang Su.

So, he opened the letter and read it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as he wasn't invited to write a script.

Seriously, he really didn't want to write scripts anymore.

At least for this time, he didn't want to write anymore, and now, he just wanted to finish the manuscript one by one according to his own plan.

As for the rest, he didn't want to delve into it, and he didn't want to ask about it.

Even if the TV series "Lake and Mountain Love" temporarily changed the director, he didn't want to get involved.

What about the famous director Wang Fulin?

Although his filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" last year is popular all over the country, this does not mean that he is good at making realistic TV series.

Besides, he's a screenwriter, what's the use of telling him this? This is not something he can decide, the key depends on the opinions of the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center.

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with me, so I'll pretend I don't know." He Yun muttered secretly, stuffed the letter into his pocket, and walked straight to the outside of the school.

…………

A few days later, He Yun received another letter, which was sent by Director Li.

In the letter, Director Li elaborated on the establishment of the essay contest and the literary award.

The essay contest was approved by the superiors, but the literary award was established, but it was stuck, and the superiors did not agree to it.

As for the cooperation with enterprises for naming, the magazine has also negotiated.

The cooperation is with a local machinery factory in Yincheng.

You heard it right, it's not another enterprise, but a nitrogen fertilizer plant, which is said to have been a military industrial enterprise in the past, but now it has been changed to a semi-military, semi-civilian production enterprise.

This news may sound a little unreliable at first, but in fact, this is the characteristic of the current era.

After all, most of the enterprises that can afford to be advertised are now profitable enterprises, especially machinery factories and pesticide and fertilizer factories.

"Huh...... Invite me to be a judge for this essay competition? This ......"

He Yun was stunned when he saw the end of the letter.

He never expected that Director Li would invite him to be the judge of this essay competition.

According to common sense, the judges are basically "old comrades", and he is a young man in his twenties as a judge, which is really unconvincing.

"Is it because I made this proposal that Director Li considered letting me be a judge for the essay competition? Probably not, right? ”

Although it was a little sudden and incomprehensible, for the sake of Director Li's face, He Yun still decided to agree to it.

It's just that what He Yun didn't expect was that just a few days later, he received another letter.

The letter was still sent by Director Li, and this time, he told He Yun that the essay contest had set a time limit, which was from the end of this month to the thirtieth of the next month, for two months.

The competition awards are divided into three first prizes, ten second prizes, and twenty-five third prizes.

As for the prize money, it is also divided into three classes, three hundred, one hundred, and fifty yuan.

The competition system has also been basically decided, divided into preliminary round and semi-final, the preliminary round results will be announced two months later, and the semi-final time will be one month after the preliminary round results are out.

It can be said that for this essay competition, Director Li has thought of everything they can think of.

He Yun naturally didn't have any opinions on this, but there was one thing that made him secretly complain in his heart.

That's the name of the essay contest.

The name of this essay contest is actually called the "Jintian Cup" essay contest, which is really a bit too "earthy".

The word "Jintian" is a fertilizer brand when you hear it, which is similar to "Jincla".

It's not like Stanley or something, I thought it was a foreign clothing brand when I heard the name, but it was actually a fertilizer brand.

However, He Yun thought about it for a while, but he was relieved.

The "Jintian Cup" is the "Jintian Cup", after all, people have invested money and sponsored the essay competition, and they are fully qualified for the title.
