On the issue of the research direction of academic papers, He Yun and Professor Ma have discussed many times.

In the end, he chose the topic of "The Influence of Ancient Mythology on Chinese Classical Literature".

In fact, this topic was originally Professor Ma's own, because he needed to be busy researching another academic topic, so he handed over this topic to He Yun.

And He Yun originally thought about such a similar topic, so the two "hit it off" and gave it a set.

However, this time, he does not plan to find someone to work with, but intends to conduct research on his own.

Therefore, every morning, he gets up very early, gets up on time at six o'clock in the morning, washes his face and brushes his teeth, and arrives at school at half past six.

He first went to the library to check the materials, and did not leave until half an hour before class.

After class, he would go back to the library and continue looking for materials, back and forth, every day.

As for the writing time, he set it for the evening.

And just like that, September passed in a flash.

On the 11th National Day, although the school was also on holiday, He Yun still chose to stay in the library.

And in the half month that he was busy inquiring about information, he also received some letters one after another.

Of course, these are not invitations, but ordinary letters.

Among them, there is a greeting letter sent by the fifth sister He Ying from Yincheng Normal School, and one is sent by Gao Yunyan.

In addition to this, there is a special letter.

The letter was sent from Jin Province, and the sender was Liu Cixin.

He Yun originally thought that this was another letter of "asking for advice", but he didn't expect that in this letter, Liu Cixin thanked himself vigorously, and he said that if it wasn't for his encouragement, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today.

It turned out that he said in the letter that one of his science fiction was successfully shortlisted for the second China Science Fiction Galaxy Award.

Hearing this news, to be honest, He Yun was also very surprised.

After all, in his impression, this "Liu Boss" has indeed won this award, and he has won it for eight consecutive years.

But the problem is that the first time his work won this science fiction award was in 1999, more than ten years ago.

"I didn't expect it to be two years in a flash, and now it's almost the second China Science Fiction Galaxy Award?" He Yun sighed, but sighed softly.

Two years may seem like a short time, but it's enough to change a lot of things.

Recalling that he once took a steamer to the mountain city, and then from the mountain city to Jincheng, it was like a passing cloud, if it wasn't for Liu Cixin mentioned in the letter, he didn't realize that it had been two years.

"According to what is said in this letter, I am afraid that this Liu boss will win this science fiction award in advance."

He has seen the works created by Liu Cixin, and I have to say that he is worthy of being a genius writer of science fiction in later generations, and his imagination is really unbridled.

…………

Library, after He Yun finished reading a book in his hand, he put it aside.

Then he picked up a yellowed notebook on the table.

This is what he bought in order to collect information.

For most of the past half a month, the notebook has been full of excerpts and excerpts, all of which he has excerpted little by little.

"Whew...... This book written by Ji Xiaolan "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" has finally been read, which one should I read next? "Sou Shen Ji"? Or Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Silent"? ”

"It's still "The Legend of Sou Shen"!"

Although strictly speaking, Zhiwei is not considered an ancient myth, but many Zhiwei of all dynasties contain some ancient mythology to a greater or lesser extent.

Let's take the simplest analogy, such as the nine-tailed fox recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are many myths related to it, such as the Tu Shan clan during the Yu flood control period, which is rumored to be the nine-tailed fox, and the most famous Daji, who is also a nine-tailed fox.

But in the former, the image of the nine-tailed fox is an absolutely positive image, and before the Han Dynasty, most of them were like this, which is reflected in both "Zhuangzi" and "Huainanzi".

But after the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this positive image was diversified, and the nine-tailed fox or fox demon sometimes became a negative image.

In the Song and Ming dynasties, it became even more prominent, and the image of the fox had been completely demonized and was no longer a symbol of the divine beast.

It can be seen that the evolution of these mythical mythical beasts in literature is also changing with the changes of the times, and their images sometimes even have a 180-degree earth-shattering reversal.

To put it simply, this is actually the evolution of ancient myths with the change of people's hearts.

The changes in people's hearts, or the inner changes of the general public, will in turn be influenced by the economy, culture, and politics of the time, and then indirectly lead to changes in literature.

To sum up, myths are actually fabricated stories of the public's perception of society.

It changes with society.

Naturally, it will also directly affect the changes in Chinese classical literature.

And the reason why He Yun wants to sort out these myths and monsters is actually to find a line from them, and then make this topic more perfect.

…………

And when He Yun was looking for information for academic research.

At this moment, Kyoto.

Wang Su is discussing the new TV series with Zheng Xiaolong, Ma Weidu and others.

This time, it was Wang Su and others who Zheng Xiaolong took the initiative to find, and after he gathered everyone together, he said his plan.

"What! Director Zheng, are you going to make a TV series again? Didn't Comrade He Yun's "Love in Lakes and Mountains" just finish filming, how long has it been? ”

"Ahem...... You don't care about these things, I just want to ask you, do you want to take this job? This time, the above gave a death order, and a phenomenal TV series must be filmed. ”

Zheng Xiaolong's words made everyone fall silent.

A phenomenal TV series, this is not something that ordinary TV dramas can do, at least it has to be a TV series of the same level as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" broadcast in the past two years.

Even He Yun's "Love of Lakes and Mountains" did not reach it.

Of course, whether it can be achieved or not, it can only be said that it is not necessarily, after all, "Lake and Mountain Love" has not yet been broadcast on CCTV, and the influence is definitely not enough, and it is understandable that it is not enough to reach the phenomenal TV series.

"Why don't we take out the script we're working on and try it out?" At this time, Ma Weidu proposed.

He was talking about the script that their creative team was still working on, that is, the first draft of the script of the classic TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department".

"No! The script you're working on isn't appropriate, this time it has to be a reflection of the lives of ordinary people, and the kind of script that is common in the neighborhood is the best. ”

Before Wang Su could speak, Zheng Xiaolong immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

After a while, he said to everyone: "Actually, I have a general idea here, you may want to refer to it. ”

Soon, Zheng Xiaolong told everyone some of his thoughts.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but nod.

And Wang Su hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to write a new script according to the idea provided by Zheng Xiaolong.

"Director Zheng, we are willing to write this script for your creation center, but we hope that you can convince Comrade He Yun to join in."

"Convince him? Oh......? You mean to say that he doesn't want to write a script with you? But aren't you a creative team? ”

Zheng Xiaolong glanced at Wang Su with strange eyes, and suddenly, he seemed to understand, and immediately said: "I understand, Comrade He Yun is still studying in graduate school, are you worried that he may not have time, right?" ”

"Okay, then I'll send him a telegram in the name of the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center and ask him for you."

After Zheng Xiaolong said with a smile, he changed his words and said casually: "This time "Love in Lakes and Mountains" is about to be broadcast on CCTV, it can be seen that Comrade He Yun's screenwriting ability is still very good, if I have the opportunity, I must find a way to transfer him to our creation center." ”

"Director Zheng, I think your idea may be difficult to realize, I once talked to Comrade He Yun, and he said that after he graduated from graduate school, he would probably stay in school to become a teacher." Wang Su shook his head and replied.

"Do you want to stay in school and become a teacher? It's not out of the question, huh...... Then let's talk about it then! Zheng Xiaolong smiled and nodded.

…………

More than ten days have passed.

After nearly a month of collecting and excerpting materials, He Yun has collected all the materials that can be collected in the library.

Next, naturally, it's time to write the paper.

And on this day, He Yun once again had 5,000 yuan more in his passbook.

This money is not a manuscript fee, but is remitted from Baodong Toy Factory.

Judging from the content of the telegram sent by the other party, it is obvious that Baodong Toy Factory should have turned losses into profits this time, and even made a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could the other party send 5,000 yuan at once.

You must know that this is the end of the 80s, and 5,000 yuan will be equivalent to 500,000 yuan after 30 years.

Of course, this money is only one of the good news for He Yun.

Another news received today is the focus of He Yun's attention.

It turned out that this morning, he suddenly received a letter from his eldest brother, in which he said that the day after tomorrow, he was going to visit the provincial capital with the village party secretary, that is, Li Guojing, the son of Township Chief Li.

As for what to investigate, the letter didn't say it, but his eldest brother said in the letter that they would come to Hunan Normal University to find him.

"Big brother, why are they coming to me? Aren't they coming to the provincial capital to investigate? Is it really weird? ”

He Yun frowned and pondered secretly.

…………

The day after tomorrow will soon arrive.

He Yun came to a dock in the provincial capital early and waited.

When the sun rose, he saw a passenger ship stopped on the pier from a distance, and judging from the font painted on the hull, it was definitely a ship sailing from Yincheng to the provincial capital.

"Big brother, have they arrived?"

He Yun muttered, and saw many people getting off and down the passenger boat.

They walked through the concrete pier and straight to the pier.

After a while, He Yun saw his eldest brother and Li Guojing in the crowd.

"Big brother! This! This! ”

He Yun waved his hand and quickened his pace and walked towards them.

After coming to them, before He Yun could speak, Li Guojing immediately said to He Yun: "Comrade He Yun, we need your help!" ”

"Ah......? Need my help? What do you need me to help you with? He Yun muttered secretly, and there was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
