Chapter 406: A new work begins-science fiction novel "End Brain"!
After receiving the business card handed over by the other party, He Yun glanced at it suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and finally invited the two in.
Because there are few people in the dormitory, there are no extra chairs, He Yun has no choice but to sit on the bed by himself, leaving the only two chairs to Li Yan and Li Jinbao, who claims to be a screenwriter in front of him.
"Screenwriter Li, please forgive me, my conditions here are like this." He Yun glanced at Li Yan, smiled, and said to Li Jinbao.
At this time, he realized that the Li Jinbao in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
For a moment, though, he couldn't really remember.
Maybe I've seen someone similar to him before, or maybe I've seen it on the Internet in later generations.
"Ahem...... Hello writer He! I've heard of your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be Li Yan's instructor, this is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice! Famous teachers make high apprentices! ”
Li Jinbao's words were heard in He Yun's ears, but it made him smile suddenly, waved his hand modestly, and said: "Screenwriter Li, let's talk about business!" ”
"Okay, okay...... Get down to business! Get down to business! As soon as Li Jinbao saw that He Yun didn't like "flattery", he immediately changed his face.
Actually, he is not a screenwriter, his real identity is the owner of a leather bag company.
However, his leather bag company is a little special, not to cheat money for a living, but to make a living from the "intermediary" business.
He came over this time to buy Li Yan's film and television copyright.
It turned out that there was a company in the Special Economic Zone, and I don't know where I saw "Smoke Lock Qingqiu" written by Li Yan, and I thought it was very good, suitable for adaptation into a TV series, and for various reasons, the business of buying the copyright fell into his hands, which led to today's scene.
Previously, he thought that this matter would be quite easy, because he had already inquired, the author of this book is a rookie writer, as long as the price he offers is not low, the other party will definitely agree to sell.
But he never expected that he had miscalculated, although the other party was tempted, but in the end he still said that he needed to think about it.
And when he found Li Yan for the second time, Li Yan said that he had to take him to talk to his instructor.
At first, he thought that Li Yan's instructor was an old antique or an old professor or something, but on the way here, he learned that her instructor turned out to be the famous writer He Yun.
As a "second-class dealer" specializing in this industry, how could he not know the existence of He Yun, after all, He Yun's reputation in the country was already among the famous writers.
In addition, the Mao Dun Literature Award was recently announced, and He Yun's name was impressively listed, which made half of him, an outsider, like a thunderous ear for his name.
"Writer He, Li Yan, this is a rough transfer agreement, you can take a look at it first?"
Li Jinbao smiled, and immediately took out something from the leather bag he was carrying and handed it over.
Seeing this, Li Yan hurriedly took it, and looked at He Yun again: "Teacher He, please help me take a look first!" ”
"Hmm......" He Yun suddenly hummed, nodded, and immediately took it, opened the thing and looked at it.
However, He Yun looked at it, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
After he flipped it over, he immediately looked at Li Jinbao with a surprised gaze, and said coldly: "You are an intermediary company?" ”
"Uh...... He Da writer, this ...... This ......"
As soon as he saw Li Jinbao's hesitation, He Yun was even more convinced of his judgment.
In fact, he didn't think that this person named Li Jinbao didn't behave like a screenwriter at the beginning, and now, after reading this agreement, he is even more convinced of this.
"That's it! You just talk about the terms of cooperation! We won't look at this agreement! ”
He Yun said and handed the agreement in his hand back to Li Jinbao.
At this moment, Li Yan on the side saw this scene, but her face was full of puzzlement.
She didn't understand why He Yun's attitude had changed drastically?
Could it be that there is something wrong with this agreement?
"Wait, intermediary? Just now, Mr. He said that this person is an intermediary, isn't he a screenwriter? ”
"As far as I know, screenwriters are rarely dressed like you, and even if there are screenwriters dressed like you, it is impossible for the screenwriter to buy any copyright in person." He Yun looked at the other party coldly, and then said.
"Okay, since Writer He Da can see it, then I won't hide anything, I'm really not a screenwriter, I'm just doing things for a company, the price proposed by the other party is 19,000 yuan, and my agreement is 18,000, I'll make a lot ......of hard money."
"Eighteen thousand? Too little! Twenty-five thousand! And it is limited to TV series adaptations. He Yun shook his head directly, but he said.
"Twenty-five thousand? No, no, no! Too much! When Li Jinbao heard that it would cost twenty-five thousand, he shook his head directly.
At this price, he is almost certain that the company he works for will not be able to afford this price, even if people have incense.
"Then please!" He Yun glanced at Li Yan and saw that she nodded, so he looked at Li Jinbao and said.
At this time, Li Jinbao naturally also noticed the eye contact between Li Yan and He Yun.
He instantly understood that it was not Li Yan, the author, who was really in charge, but her instructor He Yun.
"Alas......" Li Jinbao had to sigh secretly, he wanted to continue to say something, but he saw that He Yun and the others seemed to have made up their minds, and in the end they still didn't say anything.
Moments later, he hurried away with that agreement.
After he left, He Yun turned his gaze to Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, you won't blame me for rejecting him!" ”
"Nope! No! Teacher He, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you on his behalf. Li Yan immediately shook her head and replied.
"Li Yan, I don't think it's as good as this, if you really want to adapt, I can find you a better platform, you should have watched the TV series "Lake and Mountain Love", this TV series is from the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center." He Yun hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Yan.
"Teacher He, are you saying that you can take my work to the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center and let them buy it and adapt it into a TV series?"
"Yes!" He Yun nodded.
"That'...... Then I'm sorry for you! I really don't know how to thank you! It's true! Seeing He Yun nodding, Li Yan suddenly became excited.
Compared with Li Jinbao, she is naturally more willing to believe in He Yun.
"Since you agreed, then okay, I'll send a telegram to Director Zheng of the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center later."
"Hmm...... Good! ”
…………
After He Yun waited for Li Yan to leave, he went directly to the post office.
After he sent a telegram to Zheng Xiaolong, he returned to Hunan Normal University.
But he didn't expect that President Li of the Hunan Provincial People's Publishing House came over again.
This time, he said he had persuaded the Kyoto Drama Creation Center.
In this regard, He Yun was a little skeptical, but he still agreed first.
After the other party left, he returned to the post office and sent a telegram to Zheng Xiaolong again.
When Zheng Xiaolong received these two telegrams, he was also very puzzled, and it was not until he read the contents of the two telegrams that he suddenly realized.
Of course, that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.
On this day, He Yun taught the students the course of modern literature as usual.
When the bell rang for the end of class, He Yun still had a little content to finish, so he swept the students and immediately said, "Everyone wait a few minutes before the class ends, and I will finish this content." ”
With that, he continued.
After a few minutes, He Yun stopped lecturing, he covered the textbook, and then said to the students: "Okay, let's get out of class!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he packed up his textbooks and textbooks, clamped them in his armpits, and turned to leave the class.
At this moment, there was a person standing at the door, who seemed to have been waiting for a while.
This person is none other than Professor Ma.
"Professor, do you have something to do with me......?" He Yun walked up to him, smiled, and asked.
"Hmm...... Come with me. ”
"Good!"
Although He Yun was a little puzzled, he still followed Professor Ma to the side.
"Let me tell you something, about the subject, I have to go on a business trip recently, you help me keep an eye on the subject, especially Gao Zhengming and Qiu Yan, these two boys have talents, but they also have a lot of shortcomings, don't let them ......"
"Yes, Professor, don't let them dance in the cabaret again, do you?"
"But the problem is that I can't control them, after all, these legs are on their own bodies, and I'm not Professor Ma, so how can I control them!"
"I understand, you do your best, the research of the subject cannot be delayed, you are the second author, and they are their senior brother, bring them with you."
Although Professor Ma's words were a bit difficult, He Yun still nodded: "Okay!" Professor, I'll do my best. ”
"Hmm...... I'll leave tomorrow, you watch more. Professor Ma told He Yun again, and then turned to leave.
He Yun couldn't help but shake his head at this.
In fact, he didn't want to join this project in the first place, but Professor Ma forced him to join in, and now Professor Ma has to go on a business trip, so he can only temporarily take over as the person in charge of this project and serve as an instructor.
…………
The next day, after giving lessons to the students, He Yun came to the library.
Here he met others on the subject.
"Everybody's here! Professor Ma told you all, right? ”
"That's it! It's all said! Brother, what do you think we should do now? ”
The person who said this was named Qiu Yan, and he and another graduate student, Gao Zhengming, liked to go to the dance hall to dance, and were often not in the research group.
For this reason, Professor Ma wanted to give up on them several times, but because their talents were very good, except for this problem, everything else was okay, so Professor Ma did not expel them from the research group in the end.
"Qiu Yan, and you Gao Zhengming, Professor Ma said before leaving, let you go to the dance hall less and focus more on academic topics, this will be of great help to you when you graduate, don't wait for graduation to regret it, do you two understand?"
"Understood! Got it! Senior brother, we all listen to you! ”
"That's right! It's all up to you! ”
"Okay, that's what you said, everyone pause, and I'll start arranging everyone's respective tasks."
When He Yun said this, he paused deliberately, he glanced at the six people on this topic, and said again: "This academic project is nearing the end, everyone work hard, Xu Yan, you are in charge of the Qing history manuscript, Liu Mei, you are in charge of the Ming history manuscript......"
After He Yun arranged everyone's work, he found a seat alone, opened the book in his hand, and recorded it while flipping through it.
This topic is one of the projects that Professor Ma has paid the most attention to in the past two years, and He Yun, as his main assistant, has naturally become the second author.
According to Professor Ma himself, his paper is going to be submitted to a national paper journal.
As for which one it is, Professor Ma didn't say.
However, He Yun doesn't care, he has already published two such papers, not more than this one, and no less of this one.
Besides, he didn't expect to be promoted to associate professor in a short period of time, so why do you want so many papers!
If it weren't for Professor Ma's kindness to him, he would not have agreed to Professor Ma joining this project.
…………
During Professor Ma's business trip, He Yun gradually put his mind on literary creation.
After the publication of "The Journey of Life", he has not had a new work for half a year.
Of course, the script of "Detective Di Renjie's Yanshi Case" must not be counted, after all, this is a script promised to be written for Zheng Xiaolong, and it is not within the scope of his original plan.
His original plan was to create a short sci-fi story in the second half of the year, and now that it's almost June, it's time to start a new chapter.
Science fiction, he has created several films, from the original "Dream of the Future" to "Moon Rescue" to "Sea Prison", and finally last year's "Skynet", although these four are all science fiction themes, but the creative direction is different.
There are short soft sci-fi and long-form hard sci-fi, some set against the background of the starry sky and some set against the backdrop of the sea.
Only the virtual network world has never been created.
For this kind of sci-fi theme, it's not that He Yun doesn't want to try, but he didn't think it could be considered sci-fi before.
In his impression, the virtual network world is an intelligent network, which is very similar to his "Skynet".
He didn't want to create a repetitive subject matter anymore, so he gave up.
Recently, though, he suddenly had a new idea.
Following this new idea, he gradually perfected it, and finally this led to the next one he was going to create - "End Brain".
What is the "end brain", as the name suggests, is the terminal brain domain, which is a virtual world developed by future technology.
This virtual world has a virtual city called "Summer City", everything in the city and real time and space is upside down, and humans rely on terminals to enter it, participate in virtual games, and finally discover a big secret.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the biggest attraction of He Yun's science fiction is the discussion of parallel time and space and human society.
