He Yun smiled suddenly, but he was full of confidence in Liu Cixin.

And at this moment, Lu Yingzhong suddenly looked over, and when he saw He Yun and Liu Cixin chatting, he couldn't help but whisper to Liang Dakang, who was sitting on the side: "Editor-in-Chief Liang, who is the young man who chatted with He Yun?" ”

"Oh...... You said Liu Cixin! This young man is very good, don't look at his age, but the science fiction he can write is very good, if he has been insisting on creating, he may have the strength to impact foreign science fiction awards in the future. ”

Liang Dakang is naturally very optimistic about Liu Cixin, and it is precisely because of this that he will make an exception and invite him to come over to participate in this Dujiangyan pen meeting.

"Hahaha...... Is it! It seems that we Chinese have successors in the science fiction world! When Lu Yingzhong heard Liang Dakang's words, he couldn't help laughing and said.

"Yes!" Liang Dakang also echoed a sentence, and then sighed: "Young people are the future of the science fiction industry, they have rich imagination and active thoughts, as long as they insist on creating, it is entirely possible to become the next generation of science fiction writers." ”

…………

What is a writer's pen? In fact, it is just sitting together and talking about literature.

To put it more bluntly, it is "bragging".

The PEN meeting was held for three days.

However, it is obviously impossible for He Yun to wait for the end of the pen meeting before going back, and he will have to leave to return to Hunan Province tomorrow afternoon at most.

Therefore, after learning this, Liang Dakang made an appointment with He Yun that night to talk about going to Italy.

"This is the preparation of our magazine for next year's annual meeting, He Yun, what do you think?"

Liang Dakang didn't hide anything from He Yun, he directly told He Yun about his plan.

After He Yun listened to Liang Dakang's plan, he didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying: "Editor-in-Chief Liang, you haven't thought that even if we successfully obtain the right to host the World Science Fiction Annual Conference, I am afraid that it may be manipulated by the member states of the Western world and then disqualified from holding it. ”

"Uh...... Well, shouldn't it? After all, this is the World Science Fiction Annual Conference, and all member states will have to vote at that time, how can you say that you will regret it? Liang Dakang frowned instantly.

Although he said so, he believed in the possibility that He Yun said in his heart.

After all, there are lessons to be learned.

Previously, He Yun's work obviously won the award, but in the end, it was more than four months late before he was notified.

"Editor-in-chief Liang, the great man has a saying that is right, it is called a weak country without diplomacy, although we are strong now, but after all, it is not strong enough to make Western countries frightened, according to the faces of those Westerners, they will not care about these, and when the time comes, just find a reason, then it will be troublesome."

"That's true, but the problem is that even if we know this, we can't help it! As you said, if they want us to make the World Science Fiction Conference a success, they can find any reason. ”

Liang Dakang couldn't help frowning, and secretly pondered.

And at this moment, He Yun was the same, he lowered his head and thought silently.

It seems that there are many member countries of the World Science Fiction Annual Conference, but most of them are Western countries, and if they play a scoundrel, there is really nothing they can do about them.

"Alas...... I think it's better to take one step at a time, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe we all think too much. After a while, Liang Dakang sighed softly and said.

In this regard, He Yun whispered: "Have you thought too much? Let's hope so! ”

…………

After the two chatted for a while, Liang Dakang suddenly coughed lightly, and asked He Yun with a smile: "Ahem...... Comrade He Yun, have you been very busy lately? ”

"Okay." He Yun replied, seemed to understand something, and smiled slightly: "Editor-in-Chief Liang, you want to ask me when there will be a new work, right?" ”

"Uh...... I really can't hide it from you, Comrade He Yun, you also know that our "Science and Art" is in China, although it is a first-class science fiction magazine, but in fact, the sales are not high, and it is just a mix of food and clothing. ”

Although Liang Dakang is quite embarrassed, this is the current situation in the mainland science fiction community.

Needless to say, the subject matter is niche, and the most important thing is the lack of writers like He Yun who can write classic science fiction.

Without a foundation for his works, the magazine cannot develop, which is also a headache for Liang Dakang.

To do this, he had to train readers on the one hand, and new writers on the other.

Even in the most difficult times of the magazine a few years ago, he has always insisted on holding writers' pen meetings, and even co-founded the Huaxia Science Fiction Galaxy Award with the "Wisdom Tree" magazine, in order to cultivate more new science fiction writers.

Obviously, his persistence has paid off, and in recent years, not only have there been "famous science fiction writers" like He Yun, but also many new science fiction seedlings have been discovered, such as Liu Cixin, who is very optimistic about him.

"Editor-in-chief Liang, about the new science fiction work, I can only say that there will definitely be no this year, but in the first half of next year, there should be a writing plan for the new science fiction work, I will try my best, maybe I will take time to write it during the winter vacation this year, and it will most likely be a short story." He Yun shook his head and replied.

"That'...... All right! ”

Although Liang Dakang had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still a little disappointed when he heard He Yun's words.

…………

In the afternoon of the next day, He Yun left Dujiangyan.

Before leaving, Liang Dakang agreed with He Yun that in April next year, they would help He Yun complete the passport and other procedures, and then go to Kyoto to meet first, and then take the train to Italy together.

As for the specific itinerary, before leaving, they will also send a telegram to He Yun to inform him in time.

On the morning of the fourth day after leaving the provincial capital of Hunan Province, before ten o'clock, He Yun got off the boat and then boarded a wharf in the provincial capital.

"Whew...... It's finally back! He Yun stood on the dock, stretched his muscles, and then walked straight to the nearest bus stop.

…………

After returning, He Yun continued to write his thesis.

With the experience of the previous time, this time, He Yun only took two months to finish the paper.

In mid-December, he took the copied paper to Professor Ma and asked him to help him read it.

In his office, Professor Ma sat wearing reading glasses with a pencil in his right hand.

He flipped through the paper with one hand and a pencil in the other, line by line, and looked carefully.

At this moment, He Yun was sitting on the side, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, he saw Professor Ma raise his head and look at him.

"Xiaohe, come here!"

"Professor Ma, did you find my mistakes and omissions?" He Yun immediately asked.

At the same time, he immediately stood up and walked to Professor Ma's side.

"Hmm...... You look here, and here, change it here. ”

"You can't use words like that, yes is yes, no is no."

Professor Ma pointed out the mistakes in He Yun's paper and continued to flip back the paper.

And when he turned to the last page, he suddenly turned his head to He Yun: "Which academic journal are you going to apply for this time?" ”

"Which academic journal? Well, it's still the previous "Academic Monthly". ”

He Yun thought for a moment and replied.

However, when Professor Ma heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"I suggest you go for Literary Heritage, a professional journal for the study of classical literature."

"Literary Heritage?"

"Yes, this academic journal is sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and if your paper can be published there, it should be of great help to you after graduating from graduate school."

After Professor Ma said this, he handed the paper in his hand to He Yun.

After He Yun took the paper, he nodded and said, "Okay, Professor Ma, thank you!" I'll think about it when I get back. ”

"Hmm...... Don't forget tomorrow's exams. ”

"Ah......h

He Yun answered, then turned around and left.
