The International Science Fiction Annual Conference is actually an international science fiction exchange conference, and the purpose is naturally to better promote science fiction.

In China, science fiction can only be regarded as niche literature, but now it is different, with the convening of the International Science Fiction Annual Conference, the impact of this international science fiction exchange is unprecedented.

With the end of the exchange meeting, major domestic media and newspapers have reported on this international exchange conference.

Because of this, many people also learned about science fiction for the first time and knew science fiction movies.

In addition, after the end of the conference, the words of the great man made more and more people like science fiction, so that the sales of the renamed "Science and Art" have been further improved.

A few years later, the sales of a single issue of the magazine renamed "Science Fiction World" directly exceeded one million copies, becoming the first magazine in mainland China to exceed one million copies.

Of course, these are all later words, so let's not mention them for now.

Speaking of now, after He Yun attended the International Science Fiction Annual Conference from the Jinlong Auditorium, he did not immediately return to Hunan Province by boat, but was invited by Liang Dakang Liang to come to the "Science Fiction Literature and Art" magazine again.

"Comrade He Yun, sit down!" After Liang Dakang beckoned He Yun to sit down, he turned around and walked to his desk, he took a document, returned to He Yun, and continued.

"Originally, I wasn't going to invite you to come over again, but after the conference, the higher-ups decided to be between the success of the International Science Fiction Annual Conference, and planned to prepare for our country's own International Science Fiction Annual Conference, and also planned to set up an international science fiction summer camp and other activities, you see, this is a plan I drafted."

Speaking of this, Liang Dakang handed the document in his hand to He Yun.

But He Yun just glanced at it and didn't take it, but smiled, shook his head and said, "Editor-in-Chief Liang, it's better for you to make up your mind about this matter, it's not appropriate for me as an outsider to look at such a thing." ”

"What's more, I'm just a writer, how can I be qualified to make any suggestions for such an activity, why don't you show Zheng Wenguang and Zheng Lao! Isn't he just there at this International Science Fiction Annual Conference? ”

The old man Zheng Wenguang and the old man Tong Enzheng are two superstars in the domestic science fiction industry, and they belong to the top kind of writers in the science fiction industry in the 80s.

And both of them are very concerned about the development of science fiction, no, they all participated in this International Science Fiction Annual Conference.

"You said Zheng Lao? Actually, I've already talked to him, and now, I want to hear your advice, after all, you are one of the most well-known science fiction writers in our country! “。

"Editor-in-Chief Liang, I'm really not good at this!" He Yun smiled and couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's okay, you can say it boldly, whether it's right or wrong." Liang Dakang still insisted.

At this time, He Yun had no choice, he could only lower his head and secretly ponder for a moment.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Liang Dakang again, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Liang, if you want me to say, whether it is a science fiction summer camp or an international science fiction annual conference, it is better to build a science fiction city." ”

"Sci-fi city?" Liang Dakang's face was full of doubts, and he looked at He Yundao in confusion.

"That's right! If you want to make science fiction bloom everywhere in China, interest and curiosity are the key, if you don't like to watch it, even if your work is good, it's useless, after all, as the saying goes, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, if you can't make everyone have a strong interest in science fiction, then it's useless to do more. ”

"Ahem...... Can you elaborate on this? Regarding He Yun's answer, Liang Dakang was still confused at this time.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it, Editor-in-Chief Liang, let me state in advance that this is just my personal idea, and I'm not sure if it can be done."

"It's okay, just say it!" Liang Dakang waved his hand at He Yun and said immediately.

When He Yun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, he secretly organized the language, and continued to speak: "The so-called science fiction city is actually a comprehensive science fiction exhibition hall, in my imagination, it needs to set up science fiction exhibitions, comic exhibitions, science fiction film and television exhibitions, aerospace science and technology exhibitions and other science fiction-related exhibitions, in addition, it must also have science fiction peripheral product sales, science fiction enthusiast exchange forum, writer forum and other ......"

In fact, He Yun's idea more or less refers to some of the ideas of the "Comic Con" in later generations, that is, it has both a platform for widely publicizing science fiction and the ability to take into account economic benefits.

After all, it costs a lot of money to hold such a comprehensive exhibition, and if it can't generate revenue benefits, it will definitely not be able to continue to hold it.

You can't let the relevant organizers pay for it every time!

"Comrade He Yun, speak slowly! Tell me slowly, I'll go get a piece of paper and take notes. ”

At this time, Liang Dakang immediately returned to his desk, and after he took the pen and paper, he folded it back and looked at He Yundao: "You go on!" ”

"That's it! Editor-in-chief, I'm just talking about it on paper, and it's actually very difficult to implement it. After all, you also know that this will cost a lot of money in the early stage, and your company cannot afford it. ”

He Yun's words made Liang Dakang smile slightly, and said, "You kid has a slippery head!" What kind of talk on paper, you obviously don't want to say it, but seriously, your idea is really good, but it's a pity that as you said, if you want to create such a science fiction city, funding is a big problem. ”

Although Liang Dakang has never seen such a sci-fi city, he also knows that the cost must be indispensable.

First of all, it is naturally the location of the event, since it is a science fiction city, it must naturally have the scale of the city, and the architecture must also be designed to be quite science fiction, this alone is not what the current "Science, Literature and Art" magazine can do.

What's more, it has to prepare all kinds of science fiction exhibitions, which is not capable of a magazine with only a few dozen people.

However, Liang Dakang also understands that if the science fiction city project is successful, it will be a qualitative leap for the entire science fiction industry.

"Look, I've said it all, I'm really just talking on paper." He Yun spread his hands at this time, shrugged his shoulders, and couldn't help but reply to Liang Dakang.

"No, no, no......" In this regard, Liang Dakang suddenly shook his head slightly.

He continued: "Although what you said is a bit unrealistic, it is not that it is not inspiring to me at all, such as the space science fiction exhibition you just mentioned, as well as the science fiction book exhibition and the science fiction comic exhibition, I think you can give it a try first." ”

"Uh...... Do you want to ......"

"That's right! Since this science fiction city cannot be established in a short period of time, then let's start with a book fair, a comic exhibition, and an aerospace science and technology exhibition, let's create it little by little, three years will not work, five years, five years, then ten years! ”

Speaking of this, Liang Dakang set his eyes on He Yun again.

He Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't look at me like that, I've already finished speaking, and the specifics depend on you." ”

"You kid, I haven't said it yet. Forget it, let's hold a space show first! ”

"Space show? You mean the space show? He Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

Holding an aerospace exhibition is not as good as holding a book fair or a comic exhibition, and if it is a later generation, it is relatively easy, but at the moment, this is a secret that cannot be disclosed, let alone holding an exhibition, even if it is in the newspaper, it is kept secret, and the details are rarely mentioned.

Of course, as a reborn, He Yun naturally knew that Jincheng had a unique condition for holding the aerospace exhibition.

That's right, this is the Xichang Satellite Launch Base.

As the space city of Sichuan Province, this place has been called the moon viewing city since ancient times.

Because of its unique geographical environment, this space launch center has undertaken many important launch missions in our country.

If you want to hold a space exhibition, the Sichuan Provincial Association for Science and Technology has this condition.

It's just that He Yun is still a little worried about whether these things can be made public at the moment.

"Yes, it's the space show, you kid is right, interest and curiosity are the key, if science fiction wants to be further promoted, it must attract more readers, and it is very necessary to hold a space show, and don't forget, we have a space launch base in Sichuan Province."

"You're talking about the one in the southwest? But can this be made public? ”

"Of course not, but some of them can be made public." Liang Dakang shook his head, but then nodded.

"As for the science fiction book fair, it can be merged with the comic book fair...... That's right! I remember that several of your works have not been adapted into manga, right? ”

"Uh...... Editor-in-Chief Liang, doesn't the magazine "Science, Literature and Art" only publish science fiction? Could it be that science fiction comics are also published? ”

"Hehe...... of course "Science Literature and Art" can't be published, but other magazines can? Recently, the Association for Science and Technology wants to create another pictorial magazine, and I plan to be affiliated with our magazine, I think it is possible to adapt the original science fiction into comics, which will be more vivid and vivid for the original science fiction. ”

In fact, He Yun didn't know that the "Science Literature and Art" magazine had already had the idea of creating a science fiction comic magazine, but for various reasons, it has not been implemented.

But now it is different, with the works of a large number of science fiction writers such as He Yun being liked by a large number of readers, coupled with the success of the International Science Fiction Annual Conference, the Sichuan Provincial Association for Science and Technology has the idea of creating science fiction comics.

As for Liang Dakang himself, he actually had similar ideas, so the two sides hit it off, and the idea of creating science fiction comics was decided.

This was later known as "Science Fiction World Illustrated".

In the original time and space, probably in 1995, the "Science Fiction World" magazine and a pictorial author on "The King of Picture Books" Ah Heng co-founded this science fiction comic magazine.

But after the establishment of this magazine, it went through several twists and turns, and in the end it did not stick to it, but followed the footsteps of "The King of Picture Books".

And when it comes to the field of comics in the nineties, we have to mention this "Picture Book King".

It took only one year from the establishment of this magazine to the discontinuation of publication, but it led to the rapid development of the domestic comic field.

As for the reason for the suspension of the publication, it is very simple, it is nothing more than touching some interests.

Who made this magazine an "illegal pirated publication"?

Of course, this is just an official statement, and no one can tell what the truth is.

…………

To be honest, Liang Dakang's idea of founding a science fiction comic magazine is indeed quite forward-looking.

Even He Yun has to admit that for the promotion of science fiction, he, the editor-in-chief, has almost all the methods, and even dedicated his life.

"Ahem...... Editor-in-Chief Liang, there is no problem with manga, I can authorize it, anyway, I am also an old friend with your company, so naturally I have to give priority to your company! ”

"Then it's decided, I'll let you know when the pictorial is established!"

When Liang Dakang heard that He Yun agreed, he hurriedly said with a smile.

"Hmm...... OK. He Yun nodded back.

…………

Two days later, Hunan Normal University.

The staircase of the teacher's dormitory building.

He Yun was just about to go upstairs with his luggage, when he saw a person walking down from the stairs head-on.

"Huh...... Teacher He, you're back! ”

"Hmm...... You're back, Mr. Zhou, are you going to class? He Yun nodded in reply, and couldn't help but ask casually.

"Hmm...... There are two lessons. ”

"Okay, then I won't delay you to go to class, I'll go back to the dormitory."

"Teacher He, yesterday, someone came to look for you, it seems to be called Li Yan, right! That's the name, a girl, very beautiful, it should be an undergraduate, Mr. He, you won't be a ......"

"Ahem...... It's nothing, it was a former student of mine, she should have asked me for some things in literature, Teacher Zhou, you know, in addition to being a university teacher, I am also a writer, this Li Yan studied under me when she was in junior high school. He Yun coughed lightly and immediately explained.

"Oh...... I see, I said...... Then I'll go to class, see you later! ”

"See you later!"

After this person left, He Yun muttered secretly, "Why is Li Yan looking for me?" Could it be the same as before? And the screenwriter came to her again? What's that man's name? ”

"Forget it, let's rest for a day first, and go to her tomorrow! After a day on the boat, it was so tiring. ”

He Yun shook his head slightly, and walked upstairs with his luggage.

After a while, he returned to his dormitory, put down his luggage, and went to sleep.

This night, he slept straight into the afternoon.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that he woke up in a daze.

"Who?" He Yun got up from the bed and then said in the direction of the door.

"It's me, Teacher He, Li Yan!"

"It's coming!" When He Yun heard that it was Li Yan, he hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

"Huh...... Who is this ......? ”

Looking at the people around Li Yan, He Yun suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

"The screenwriter, Li Jinbao?"

Just when He Yun secretly doubted the identity of this person, the other party also seemed to notice this, and saw him take out a business card from his pocket and hand it to He Yun.

"Hello, Mr. He! Here's my business card. ”

"Business cards? Aren't you a screenwriter? How can there be this? ”

"Uh......"
