Provincial capital.

It's the end of August, and the day after tomorrow school will start.

After sending the fifth sister He Ying to visit the Yincheng Normal School, the next day, He Yun returned to the provincial capital.

On the day he returned, he sent a telegram to Wang Ruoyun, and the telegram contained these words: "The letter has been received, and I will write in the near future." ”

The next day, he wrote a letter to him and sent it to him.

Regarding the animation adaptation, to be honest, he can't give Wang Ruoyun any advice, and he can't help much in this matter.

Because he doesn't know anything about animation at all.

What's more, it doesn't lie with him at all, but with the decision-making of the high-level animation of the Yangcheng era.

He is an "outsider", how can he influence their decisions.

…………

Rent inside the house.

In front of the table.

The setting sun shone obliquely into the house from the window, shining on He Yun's face.

"Alas......"

At this time, He Yun suddenly sighed lightly and immediately shook his head slightly.

He didn't dwell on it anymore because he couldn't do anything about it.

On the contrary, it was the matter of the new draft, which made him have to think about it secretly.

Before the summer vacation, he began to prepare to create a new science fiction.

However, until now, this planned novella sci-fi has not been followed.

The main reasons for this are as follows.

First of all, there is the issue of science fiction, previously, when he talked about this science fiction with Zhao Wenjun, he planned to write a science fiction about "artificial intelligence".

But after a few attempts, he found that his understanding of artificial intelligence was limited to a few vague concepts, and more importantly, science fiction didn't just need to be novel, it also needed to be thought-provoking, otherwise it wouldn't resonate with readers.

After all, this is not a sci-fi blockbuster, and the feeling of words and images is still different.

Because the visual impact is often much stronger than the rendering power of the text.

Therefore, in the science fiction world, most science fiction needs a core to highlight the worldview conveyed by the entire science fiction.

This is the philosophical worldview contained in it.

To put it more bluntly, it is what kind of truth you want to tell readers in this science fiction.

And this truth must be thought-provoking and requires special attention.

For example, science fiction related to robots will basically focus on the impact of robots on humans and the world.

In fact, artificial intelligence can also be discussed around this point, such as the impact of artificial intelligence on human life in the future, and even boldly imagine whether artificial intelligence will rule the world in the future when human beings become extinct.

But the problem is that He Yun is worried that his creative thinking will be too advanced.

In addition to worrying that the subject matter is too advanced, there is another problem in front of He Yun.

That's the time!

You must know that this semester, he will not only have to complete the credits, but also get the academic papers, and the time will definitely be very tight.

And at present, He Yun still has to continue to create the follow-up chapters of "Savage Shenhai Lu".

This is a long story, and it will definitely not be able to be written in a short time.

If a new pit is opened, where will this time come from, and he can't go without sleeping every day.

That's definitely not going to work!

What to do?

At this moment, He Yun was really hesitant.

"Do you really want to give up?"

He Yun muttered secretly, and immediately fell into deep thought.

…………

A few days later, school opened.

He Yun eventually gave up the idea of opening a new pit.

It turned out that on the first day of school, a letter was sent by Xiangjiang Boyi Publishing House.

The content of the letter is only one, and it is a reply to the publication of his "Archaeological Notes".

They agreed to publish.

Moreover, the royalties are as high as HK$100,000, but they need to be paid in three installments.

In addition, they have another condition, that is, if the total sales do not exceed 200,000, they will only pay the initial 30,000 yuan, and it is a one-time payment, which means that the subsequent royalties will not be paid.

If it is more than 200,000, they will make good on their promise.

In fact, this is a typical VAM agreement.

It should be that the publisher doesn't want to take too much risk and wants to win the publishing rights of the book.

Of course, this VAM must be time-limited, for a period of three months, and there is no limit to the number and place of issuance.

In other words, no matter how many times it is reprinted or the traditional version is published elsewhere, it can be counted in this total sales.

This clause is still quite harsh for He Yun.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to agree to this clause.

Anyway, in the end, even if it didn't exceed 200,000 copies, there were 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there were more than 20,000 famous coins, which is still a lot more than what mainland publishers give.

So, He Yun immediately wrote a reply to the Boyi Publishing House, and then sent them a telegram.

…………

Xiangjiang, Boyi Publishing House.

After receiving the telegram from He Yun, Zhao Shanqi did not delay, and immediately assigned a special person to start proofreading He Yun's book, so as to publish and distribute it as soon as possible.

Zhao Shanqi's move is naturally also gambling, after all, some time ago, for some reason, he had some disagreements with the senior management of the publishing house, and some high-level personnel believed that the high sales of "Wild Shenhailu" were just the result of chance, and the company should focus on science fiction, especially Ni Kuang's publishing.

But Zhao Shanqi didn't think so, and for this reason, he even had a big fight with someone.

In the end, he persuaded some people, and at the same time, he also had the letter He Yun received and the gambling clause mentioned in the letter.

It can be said that this time, Zhao Shanqi is fighting against the water, and he must use this to prove himself that his decision is correct.

Regarding his decision, Huang Yi, who was sitting in front of him at the moment, couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Zhao, why are you bothering?"

"It's okay, Brother Huang, it's a big deal that I quit my job and do it myself, it's not a big deal, I just want to prove that in addition to science fiction, as long as other genres are well written, readers can also pay for it."

"But...... After all, that is a rookie writer, and you said that if you lose the bet, wouldn't it be ......?"

"What's wrong with rookie writers? Although they are considered rookie writers in Xiangjiang, they are famous writers in the mainland. ”

"Besides, the prime minister has already talked with the one in the north, and the joint statement has been issued, in 1997, our Xiangjiang will officially return to the motherland, we are a family, why do we need to divide the mainland and the mainland."

Hearing Zhao Shanqi's words, Huang Yi suddenly cried and laughed.

Although that is the case, this is related to Zhao Shanqi's future after all.

And, of course, his future as Huang Yi.

You must know that during this period of time, he was inspired by He Yun's "Wild Shenhailu", and also began to create his own "fantasy", if Zhao Shanqi left Boyi Publishing House, it would inevitably affect the publication of his works.

"Okay, Brother Huang, don't worry, I've said it, it's a big deal to do it alone, anyway, I also have plans to run my own publishing house."

"Oh...... Brother Zhao, do you really want to resign and run your own publishing house? Huang Yi looked at Zhao Shanqi and said in surprise.

"Hmm...... Regardless of the outcome this time, I will resign. Zhao Shanqi nodded and replied.

Zhao Shanqi's decision was something Huang Yi did not expect.

But at this point, he felt he had to do something.

…………

Just fifteen days later, around mid-September.

In many newspapers in Xiangjiang, the headline "The new work of Man Jianghong, the author of "Wild Shenhailu", appeared on their advertising pages.

For the book "Wild Shenhailu", although its popularity has gradually decreased, it has made many young people in Xiangjiang remember the author of "Man Jianghong".

Now, as soon as this news came out, coupled with the "hype" of well-intentioned people, a large number of people inquired in front of the major bookstalls in Xiangjiang.

This can't help but confuse many bookstall owners.

Because up to this moment, they have not received any physical books full of Jiang Hong's new works.

"Boss, this can't be! It's all in the newspapers, how can it not be? Didn't you buy it? ”

"Yes! Boss, are you not going to buy it! This shouldn't be a lie! ”

"Really, really, my bookstall is really not full of Jiang Hong's new works, why don't I inquire?" The bookstall owner looked helpless and couldn't help but say to everyone.
