Chapter 404: Jincheng International Science Fiction Annual Conference!

in the dormitory.

He Yun hurriedly stood up, he smiled and said to President Li: "President Li, don't be like this, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

"Uh......"

Seeing He Yun so free and easy, President Li couldn't help but be surprised, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared before coming to He Yun, as long as He Yun's conditions were not excessive, he felt that he could agree, after all, the purpose of his visit this time was to publish He Yun's works.

To put it more bluntly, he has a request for others, so he naturally has to bow his head.

But he didn't expect that He Yun didn't mind what happened before, which made him very ashamed.

You must know that as the president of the Hunan Provincial People's Publishing House, it stands to reason that he does not need to visit He Yun so "lowly".

However, He Yun is different, he is not only a famous young writer, he is also the winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award.

This is the Mao Dun Literature Award! As the president of a publishing house, how did he not know the weight of this literary award.

What's more, He Yun is also a Hunan writer,

In addition, he recently heard that He Yun had become a member of the National Writers Association, which made him regret it, but also had to make him muster up the courage to take the initiative to visit.

After all, a discerning person knows at a glance that this is definitely a rising "new star" in the literary world, and if he doesn't make friends with him in time at this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.

"Comrade He Yun, in fact, I mainly want to publish your works today." President Li hesitated for a moment, but still told He Yun the purpose of this visit.

He Yun, who heard this, couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Published works? Are you saying that my work will be published by the Hunan Provincial People's Publishing House? ”

"But..... President Li, all my novels have been published by the People's Literature Publishing House, and some of the remaining short and medium stories have also been published by the Baihua Publishing House. ”

"Comrade He Yun, the script? I remember you wrote quite a few scripts! President Li suddenly smiled and immediately said to He Yun.

"Script? Do you mean the "Detective Di Renjie" series? Can these scripts also be published? ”

He Yun's long and short stories have indeed been published, and as for several scripts, they have also been published in literary magazines such as "Contemporary", but they have really not been published.

"Absolutely! Comrade He Yun, I suggest that you can collect all the scripts you have written into a collection of works and publish them. ”

As soon as President Li said this, He Yun suddenly fell silent.

If the script could be published as a "portfolio", he would not refuse.

It's just that these scripts are more or less involved in the filming of TV series, especially the "Detective Di Renjie" series, he has sold the filming rights to the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center, if these scripts are published in a collection at this time, what if there is a copyright dispute?

This is a problem that cannot be ignored.

Although the awareness of copyright at this time is weak, it is not possible to act recklessly.

Especially for a famous writer like He Yun, whether it is the present or the future, it is actually the same.

Because this has already involved the issue of interests, it is impossible for the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center to have no reaction at all.

At the very least, He Yun had to inform them of this in advance.

"President Li, will this cause a copyright dispute? As you know, several of the scripts I wrote before were made into TV series, and the "Detective Di Renjie" series, although it was published in magazines, was before that, and now if a collection is published, will it be ......."

"Comrade He Yun, you can rest assured about this, as long as you agree, we will communicate with the relevant units."

President Li naturally understood the meaning of He Yun's words, and he said to He Yun very confidently.

And at this moment, He Yun saw that President Li had said so, so he nodded and agreed: "Since that's the case, then it's okay!" President Li, I can promise that your Hunan Provincial People's Publishing House will publish a few of my scripts......."

Speaking of this, He Yun thought for a while, and immediately said: "It's better like this, I'll sort out all the scripts I've created first, and I'll send them to you after a while, what do you think?" ”

"No problem! Then let's settle it! President Li didn't object, he nodded at He Yun and agreed directly.

Next, the two chatted for a while, and He Yun got up to send President Li out of the dormitory.

After President Li left, He Yun sat back at the table and opened the drawer.

.........

For the sorting out of the script, He Yun only took three days to sort it out.

In addition to the "Detective Di Renjie" series, there is also a scripted version of "Lake and Mountain Love" and several scripts that have only created the first draft.

These scripts He Yun has not been published, but his usual practice works, the number of words is very short, and the length is only two or three thousand words, which can only be regarded as miniature scripts, or the prototype of the script.

However, He Yun still took it out and planned to send it over to President Li together.

As for whether the publisher will adopt it, he doesn't care.

Let's take one step at a time!

.......

A few days later, perhaps President Li communicated with the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center, and He Yun received a telegram from Zheng Xiaolong.

The content of the telegram was only one, and he did not agree to publish the "Detective Di Renjie" series.

Sure enough, what He Yun was most worried about still happened.

In the end, the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center did not agree to publish the script.

Also, the TV series "Detective Di Renjie" is still in the preparation stage, and if the TV series script is published at this time, it will inevitably affect the ratings of the TV series.

Of course, the impact is the impact, but no one can predict whether the impact will be good or bad.

It is possible that the ratings of the TV series will skyrocket because of the publication of the script, or it may end dismally because of the leakage of the plot.

Both of these outcomes actually exist.

I want to ask He Yun what kind of outcome he personally prefers?

Seriously, he didn't know it himself.

But in any case, since they didn't agree, and the script had already been sold to them, the script could not be published again.

This is a matter of principle, and it is impossible for He Yun to take such a big risk to make this kind of "black money"

However, He Yun didn't expect that President Li didn't give up, no, that afternoon, he came over again, saying that he would personally go to Kyoto to persuade the other party.

He didn't say anything about this, and since everyone said so, what else could he say.

..........

In mid-May, He Yun successfully completed the proofreading of the first and second drafts of the script of "Detective Di Renjie's Yanshi Case", and the day after the completion, he sent the final version to the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center.

As for President Li's side, there has been no news so far, and He Yun has not delved into this.

If you can't publish it, you can't publish it! It's better to act as if nothing had ever happened before.

A few more days passed, and the time came to May 18.

He Yun took the leave slip and came to the dock with his luggage.

An hour later, he boarded a passenger ship bound for the mountain town.

This time he went to Jincheng, he asked Principal Zhang to approve a two-day vacation, plus he had no classes for two days, so he had four days for this trip to Jincheng, and the time was still relatively sufficient.

.........

Jincheng, He Yun is naturally not the first time to come, in fact, he has been here many times, so this time, he came to the "Science Literature and Art" magazine with a familiar car.

In the editor-in-chief's room, he successfully met the editor-in-chief Liang Dakang.

However, as soon as he entered the office, he saw Liang Dakang hurriedly greet him and congratulate him: "Comrade He Yun, congratulations!" ”

"Oh..... Editor-in-Chief Liang, where does this joy come from? He Yun was stunned for a moment, but asked with a smile.

"Of course, congratulations on winning the Mao Dun Literature Award! Gee..... I remember you're only twenty-five years old, right? ......”

"Ahem...... Editor-in-Chief Liang, I think let's talk about business! In fact, there is nothing to say about this matter, it is all in the past! Before Liang Dakang could finish speaking, He Yun immediately interrupted him.

"You! You! Really....... Forget it, you sit down first, I'll make you tea! ”

"No, you don't! No! Editor-in-Chief Liang, we're all old friends, so let's do it myself...... Hey..... You can do this tea! Drink the dragon well before the rain! He Yun took the tea caddy and sniffed it, but turned around and said with a smile to Liang Dakang, who sat down again.

"A friend gave it to you, if you like to drink it, I'll give you a little bit?" Liang Dakang glanced at He Yun and replied.

"Hahaha...... How can it? Editor-in-chief Liang, I'm just talking, gentlemen don't win people's love! A gentleman does not take the love of others! What's more, I don't like to drink this stuff either, so it's better to drink plain water! He Yun smiled, immediately put down the tea caddy in his hand, picked up a cup casually, brought himself a cup of warm water, and took a sip.

"Editor-in-Chief Liang, I heard that Mr. Edwards, the chairman of the International Science Fiction Annual Conference, almost couldn't come?" After He Yun sat down with the cup, he looked at Liang Dakang, who was sitting at the desk, and asked casually.

"Yes! Due to the impact of the war in the Middle East, several British representatives and Mr. Edwards could not transfer from the Middle East, but fortunately, we later contacted the comrades of the Science and Technology Department of the British Embassy in London through the Sichuan Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, and asked them to contact the representatives of the civil aviation there, and then we were able to contact the flight, otherwise, we really don't know what to do. Liang Dakang replied with a happy face after taking a sip of tea.

Hearing Liang Dakang say this, He Yun couldn't help but nodded, and echoed Liang Dakang's words and said: "Also, if even the chairman of the science fiction annual conference can't come to participate in this science fiction annual conference, then this international conference will inevitably be greatly discounted, fortunately, the motherland is powerful!" ”

"Awesome? Hahaha...... Comrade He Yun, what you said is so right! The Motherland is indeed too powerful! ”

........

Time passed little by little, and in the editor-in-chief's room, He Yun and the two sat there chatting.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Just as He Yun picked up the cup on the table, Liang Dakang seemed to remember something, looked up at He Yun and said: "Recently, our magazine is considering changing the name of the magazine from "Science Literature and Art" to "Science Fiction World", Comrade He Yun, what do you think of this name?" ”

"Sci-fi world? That's a good name! The world of science fiction is highly consistent with the concept of your magazine."

He Yun was not surprised at all about the name change, after all, he had known about it for a long time.

"That's what we think, too, but after all, the matter of changing the name is very important, and we still have to report to the competent unit to determine the final name after review."

After Liang Dakang replied, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at He Yun, and continued: "Comrade He Yun, I don't know if you have any plans to create new science fiction recently?" ”

"Hahaha..... Editor-in-Chief Liang, I knew you would ask that, let's be honest with you! There is no new science fiction for the time being, however, there should be plans for the second half of the year, but it is very likely that it will be a novella science fiction, and the word count will not be too long, just tens of thousands of words! He Yun smiled and explained.

"Tens of thousands of words will do! Comrade He Yun, don't you know that since you won the Mao Dun Literature Award, the sales of your works have soared again, and many readers who like science fiction have written to our magazine, asking when your new science fiction work will come out. ”

In Liang Dakang's eyes, He Yun's fame has long surpassed his pen name "Man Jianghong".

After all, the Mao Dun Literature Award is not an ordinary award, and there has never been a science fiction author who can win such an award.

"I'll strive for the second half of the year, as for the specific theme, this..... I haven't thought about it yet, so please forgive me Editor-in-Chief Liang! ”

"Hahaha..... It's okay! It's okay! It doesn't matter what sci-fi genre it is! As long as it's yours! Liang Dakang said.

.........

March 20th.

Jincheng, Jinjiang Auditorium.

At this moment, the auditorium brings together hundreds of domestic and foreign science fiction artists, editors of science fiction magazines, and leaders of science and technology associations from Sichuan Province and the country.

And, of course, Edwards, president of the International Science Fiction Annual Conference.

In addition, Tong Enzheng Tong Lao also sat in the first row.

I don't know if Liang Dakang deliberately arranged it, his seat turned out to be on the left side of He Yun.

For He Yun, Tong Enzheng naturally knows the elderly.

Although there is a huge age gap between the two, there is no generation gap, but they have a good chat.

The two of them talked from science fiction to archaeology, and from archaeology to the "Archaeological Notes" series created by He Yun.

Especially regarding the discovery of Cao Cao's tomb in Anyang, although there are still many controversies about the results, many domestic archaeological experts have generally recognized this result.

Among them, He Yun's "Archaeological Notes: The True and False Tomb of Cao Cao" can be described as "indispensable".

"Xiaohe, why isn't there a new short story in your "Archaeological Notes" series? I'm still waiting for your new work to be published! ”

"Tong Lao, do you still like to watch me? I'll be honest with you, I'm all making it up, and for an archaeologist like you, it's just an axe at best! ”

"Uh.... That's not right! Yes, archaeology is archaeology, the two are different, and nonsense is not nonsense, I think you are logically speaking, it still makes sense! ”
