Chapter 365: The script of "Detective Di Renjie" worth 10,000!
As the president of the World Association for Science and Technology, Edwards was very surprised by the results of this vote.
He took the document and was stunned for a long time before announcing in English to the delegates of various countries: "I announce that the venue of the 1991 World Science Fiction Annual Conference will be Jincheng, China. ”
As soon as this result was announced, the representatives of the countries were not surprised, except, of course, the representative of Poland.
After all, before that, Poland was the most potential contender for the right to host the event.
But now, the final result is China, which is really a surprise to the Polish representatives.
"How is this possible? This will never be true! Could it be that the other party bribed the election? ”
"It's impossible, most of the members of the World Association for Science and Technology are Western European countries, how can it be possible to hand over the right to hold the annual conference of science fiction to a country that doesn't even know what science fiction is......."
Although 10,000 Polish delegates did not believe it, the facts are the facts, and the final result was that Huaxia won the right to host the 1991 World Science Fiction Annual Conference.
…………
When Mr. Edwards, the President of the World Association for Science and Technology, announced the right to host the 1991 Annual Meeting, it was another important part of the Annual Meeting.
That's right!
It is the announcement of this year's Hugo Award-winning authors and their winning works.
Delegates from other countries were visibly more excited about this session.
After all, the winner will not only receive great honors, but also a large amount of prize money.
On the contrary, it was He Yun and his party, and their minds were no longer on this.
At this moment, Liang Dakang and his entourage have begun to privately discuss how to prepare for the World Science Fiction Annual Conference in two years.
"I really didn't expect that we actually won the right to host it in 1991, which is incredible."
"Yes, I heard from the interpreter that most of the delegates were ready to support Poland, and I thought to myself, this time it's over, it's a trip for nothing, but I never expected it to be ...... this time It's so easy to win the right to hold the event, isn't it? ”
"I think that this time I was able to win the right to hold the event, and the statement of Editor-in-Chief Liang contributed a lot."
"I also think so, if it weren't for the temporary change of mind of the representatives of various countries mentioned by Editor-in-Chief Liang, I'm afraid we would lose to Poland."
…………
While several people in the same company were happy, they couldn't help but look at Liang Dakang who was smiling.
"Everyone is so polite, this time it is inseparable from everyone's efforts, I just ......"
"Comrade He Yun, I see that your brows are tightly knit and your face is worried, why is this?" At this moment, Liang Dakang suddenly saw He Yun's face different, and couldn't help but ask immediately.
"Editor-in-Chief Liang, don't you think it's a little too early for us to be happy?" He Yun looked at everyone and said lightly.
"What do you mean...... Will there be twists and turns? Liang Dakang instantly understood what He Yun meant, he thought for a moment, and then continued: "What you say, but there is some truth in it, our country is different from Western European countries after all, it is better to have one more mind." ”
"Editor-in-chief Liang, I think we can start from two aspects, one is abroad, the other is domestic, foreign is mainly to strive for public opinion support, and it is best to get the attention of the country at home."
"Hmm...... You have a point, I'll think about it. ”
After listening to He Yun's words, Liang Dakang nodded again and again, and said: "By the way, let's go and talk to Mr. Edwards later, remember what I said before leaving, talk to Mr. Edwards more about your works, after all, you are the only writer in our country who has won a science fiction award abroad." ”
"Editor-in-Chief Liang, I understand what you mean, Mr. Edwards, as the chairman of the Association for Science and Technology, his attitude is also an important part of determining whether the right to hold the event in 1991 can be implemented, and I will do my best."
…………
Half an hour later, He Yun and his entourage met with Mr. Edwards.
Through the translation, Mr. Edwards first congratulated Liang Dakang and his party, and then heard Liang Dakang take the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Edwards, I would like to introduce you to a writer, this is a young science fiction writer in my country, whose work "Moon Rescue" won the Philip K. Duck Honorary Award last year. ”
"Moon Rescue? Does this work seem familiar? I remember, you're the Chinese writer, right? ”
Although Edwards had not read "Moon Rescue" written by He Yun, as the chairman of the Writers' Association of the World Association for Science and Technology, he had heard the work "Moon Rescue".
Of course, it's only what I've heard.
"That's right! He is Man Jianghong, and he also wrote another science fiction "Sea Prison", which was published in Xiangjiang, Taiwan and other places last year. ”
"Xiangjiang? Taiwan Island? Xiangjiang I know, I remember that there seems to be a science fiction writer in Xiangjiang, his works are okay, what is it called? ”
"Ni Kuang......? Right! It seems that this is the name, and the name of your Chinese people is really a bit tongue-twisting......"
…………
Although Liang Dakang tried his best to introduce He Yun, the chairman of the Association for Science and Technology obviously did not attach much importance to He Yun.
He Yun can naturally feel this.
But what can be done?
Even if he won an international award, he was still a yellow man after all, and in the eyes of Westerners, yellow people could not write real classic science fiction.
This sense of discrimination and humiliation caused both parties to be unconsciously embarrassed.
Liang Dakang naturally realized it, and he hurriedly changed the topic, hoping to break this embarrassment.
But at this moment, the chairman of Edwards suddenly made an excuse and turned away.
Seeing the departure of the chairman of the Association for Science and Technology, Liang Dakang and several people felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
After a while, Liang Dakang couldn't help but smile and encouraged everyone: "Comrades, don't be discouraged, people look down on us, then we will prove to them that our country's science fiction will definitely work!" ”
"The editor-in-chief is right! We can do it! ”
"That's it, it's all two shoulders and one head, why should Westerners do it, we can't."
"Editor-in-chief, we have to get ready, I'm afraid my guess was right before."
"Yes...... Even this Chairman Edwards is like this, and you can imagine the attitude of the representatives of other countries, they will definitely make a fuss about this, and I even think that today's election campaign is just for the people of the world to watch. ”
Liang Dakang sighed secretly in his heart, and then said.
"Probably! After all, who made our country the most populous! He Yun agreed, but he couldn't calm down for a long time in his heart.
On the one hand, they want to get all kinds of benefits from our country, and on the other hand, they belittle our country everywhere, and this kind of double standard exists in all fields.
Even in later generations, some Westerners, especially Western politicians, like this kind of double-standard operation.
…………
On the way back, everyone's feelings were extremely mixed.
Although this trip to San Marino achieved its original purpose, everyone could not be happy.
On the contrary, at this moment, everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, but there is nowhere to vent.
A week later, everyone returned to Kyoto.
After He Yun and Liang Dakang and his party separated, they did not immediately return to Hunan Province, but came to Wang Su's courtyard.
"Rare guest! Comrade He Yun, what kind of wind has blown you, a great writer, here? ”
Seeing He Yun at the door, Wang Su hurriedly welcomed him into the courtyard.
"Brother Wang, don't tout me, what kind of writer am I! I don't know how many pounds and taels I have? He Yun smiled and replied to Wang Su, suddenly turned his head to look at the house and said, "Do you still have guests here?" It's a coincidence that I'm here today! ”
"It's okay! You also know this guest, it's Director Zheng of the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center! Wang Su said, and led He Yun into the house.
Sure enough, there was a familiar figure sitting on the kang.
That was Zheng Xiaolong, who I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Who am I here, dare to love Comrade He Yun! This really means that Cao Cao Cao is here! It just so happened that I had something to discuss with you, but I didn't expect you to find Wang Su here. ”
Zheng Xiaolong hurriedly got down from the kang and said to He Yun.
"Director Zheng! I'm really sorry, I was too busy before, and I delayed you a lot. He Yun said naturally the screenwriter of the new TV series, he delayed it again and again, and finally Zheng Xiaolong said that the filming would be postponed, which brought this matter to an end.
"It's okay! Anyway, the filming of the new TV series has also been postponed. ”
Zheng Xiaolong replied to He Yun nonchalantly, and then said, "I almost forgot to ask you, you should have graduated by now, right?" ”
"Hmm...... Already graduated. He Yun nodded.
"Are you staying in school?" Wang Su interjected and asked at this time.
"Stay! Because my supervisor insisted that I stay, I became a lecturer in my major. ”
"Lecturer? Congratulations! Congratulations! When Wang Su heard He Yun's answer, a smile instantly appeared on his face.
It is not an easy thing to become a university lecturer, not to mention that He Yun has just graduated, which is even more amazing.
"Alas...... Originally, I was going to transfer you to our TV drama creation center as a screenwriter, but I didn't expect to be the first to be close to the water by Hunan Normal University. Zheng Xiaolong also said with a smile.
"Hahaha...... Who made Brother He so good! On the side, Wang Su laughed again and again.
"Ahem...... Brother Wang is really a winner! He Yun coughed lightly, and after replying to Wang Su, he turned his gaze to Zheng Xiaolong: "Director Zheng, you just said that you happened to look for me for something?" What the hell is going on? Could it be that the new TV series project has been launched again? ”
"No, no, no...... It's not one thing, it's another thing. ”
Zheng Xiaolong shook his head and said, "Regarding the secondary creation of the script "Detective Di Renjie" that you once created. ”
"What? Recreation? Is it adapted into a TV series? ”
When He Yun heard this, he was immediately surprised.
"It's not an adaptation of a TV series, it's a secondary creation, there is a screenwriter of a TV series who wants to learn from your script, and it just so happens that I know this screenwriter, and he mentioned your script to me at the time, so I ......"
"Yes! But I want to know the general situation of this TV series? He Yun thought about it, but asked.
"There is no problem with this, in fact, this TV series was filmed and produced by Taiyuan TV, and its screenwriter was adapted according to the Dutch sinologist Gao Luopei, three years ago, it was released, but only a dozen episodes were filmed at that time, and now, Taiyuan TV and CCTV and our Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center are ready to be co-filmed, it just so happens that you also wrote a script about Di Renjie, so I want to ask you to authorize us to recreate your script."
"Oh...... Director Zheng, are you talking about the "Legend of Di Renjie's Case" released two years ago? He Yun suddenly thought of something and said immediately.
"That's right! I'm talking about that TV series. Zheng Xiaolong nodded.
Due to various reasons, the filming of this TV series has a bit of a situation, so the follow-up filming will be jointly produced by the three parties.
Originally, the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center didn't want to get involved, but when Zheng Xiaolong saw the script written by He Yun, he had a new idea.
He found that the script created by He Yun was different from the one written by Gao Luopei, which made him see another Di Renjie, and therefore made him interested in this script.
Therefore, today, he not only wants to persuade He Yun to allow the secondary creation of his script, but he also wants to buy He Yun's script.
But then when he told He Yun about this idea, He Yun fell into deep thought.
After a while, he looked at Zheng Xiaolong and said, "The script can be given to you, but the follow-up creation, I can't sell it." ”
He Yun's meaning is very clear, this script can be sold, but he will not sell the subsequent derivative creations and the name of the script.
After all, it is possible for him to continue to create this "IP" in the future, and if he sells all the "numbers", wouldn't he be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
"Okay! Just Comrade He Yun, then let's talk about the specific buyout price? What do you think of five thousand? ”
"Five thousand?" He Yun was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Director Zheng, I don't think it's as good as this, I don't want more from you, I'll take five thousand first, if the TV series has a good response, then I need to collect another five thousand." ”
"That's ten thousand! Yes, 10,000 is 10,000, but this time you have to create a second creation for free. ”
"Okay, it's free!" He Yun didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
The second creation is not an adaptation, but a brand new story, if you charge it, in fact, it is not much money, it is better to sell Zheng Xiaolong a face, after all, there are still long days to deal with in the future.
…………
After finalizing the specific agreement, He Yun took the train back to Hunan Normal University.
At this time, it was summer vacation, and after He Yun returned home, he came to the Yincheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
"Student World" magazine.
As the first issue of "Dongting Literature" after the revision, Director Li is convening a group of editors for a meeting.
Suddenly, a person walked in, he muttered two words in Director Li's ear, and Director Li immediately said to everyone: "Everyone sit down first, I'll pick up someone, and I'll come over immediately." ”
And when he had said this, he went out with the incoming man.
