Chapter 444: New Work: "Prehistoric Times: The Three Emperors"

Kyoto Normal University, in a classroom.

Seeing that the time was almost up, He Yun announced to the students in the audience, "End of class!" ”

With that, he walked out of the classroom.

He still has a public elective class to attend today, so he must rush to the new classroom 2 as soon as possible.

Since the last time he gave a lecture on "Astrophysics" in a public elective class, more and more students have come to his class.

However, instead of continuing to lecture on astrophysics-related topics, he turned to literature on military warfare, and later continued to give public elective courses on topics such as "plays" and "children's literature."

It can be said that He Yun has chosen a different lecture topic for each public elective course, unlike Mr. Wu Yan, whose public elective course has always been based on the theme of "science fiction".

Perhaps because of this, in the following public elective classes, the number of students who came to the class gradually began to decrease.

In this regard, He Yun didn't care about anything, in his eyes, his public electives came and went freely, anyone could listen to them, and it was okay to quit halfway, as long as it didn't hinder him from taking classes, even if it was a good night's sleep.

Of course, this naturally never happened during his classes.

"Hello, is it Comrade He Yun?"

Soon after He Yun walked out of the classroom with the textbook, a person came up to him, he stretched out his right hand, and said to He Yun with a smile.

"Hello ......! I am He Yun, may I ask ...... you? ”

He Yun didn't know the person in front of him, but looking at his dress, he should be engaged in creation, after all, his temperament is there.

Also, today's Li Jianping is wearing a white shirt, a scruffy beard, and a pair of glasses.

"My name is Li Jianping, I am from the Youth Animation Department of CCTV, and I am an animation director."

"Hello! Hello! Director Li! I don't know ...... you are looking for me today? ”

As soon as he heard that it was from the CCTV Youth Animation Department, He Yun suddenly had a sense of familiarity with the words "Li Jianping".

"Li Jianping? Li Jianping! That's right! Isn't the chief director of the CCTV animated version of "Journey to the West" called Li Jianping? ”

The reason why He Yun remembers this name is mainly because of the CCTV version of the cartoon "Journey to the West", he has watched it many times, especially the opening song and the ending song, every time he sees it from the beginning to the end, and naturally has a deep impression of the three words "Li Jianping" of the chief director.

In addition, the other party claimed to be from the CCTV Youth Animation Department, which naturally reminded him of this at once.

Of course, He Yun was not particularly sure that he was that Li Jianping, but he felt that he should be eight or nine or ten.

And just when He Yun was secretly pondering for it, Li Jianping couldn't help coughing lightly, and then said: "Comrade He Yun, the reason why I came to you today is for your work "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", I heard that your children's literature is about to be made into a full-length cartoon? ”

"That's the thing, what? Director Li is interested in this? It's still CCTV ......! ”

"Actually, it's not just me who is interested, but everyone else in our youth animation department is interested in this, let me tell you the truth, Comrade He Yun, we want to buy this cartoon as the first cartoon of the new children's program "Red, Yellow and Blue" produced by our station next year."

"Red, Yellow and Blue? You mean Animation City? Oh...... Wrong! Wrong! I think I'm misremembering......"

"Ah...... Comrade He Yun, what did you just say? "Animation City"? This name sounds quite pleasant, and it is also very consistent with the concept of our new show, I didn't expect there to be an unexpected gain today......" Li Jianping smiled and couldn't help but say to He Yun.

"Uh...... Director Li, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously! I think "Red, Yellow and Blue" is pretty good. As soon as He Yun heard Li Jianping take his words seriously, he quickly explained.

But Li Jianping only smiled at this, and did not continue the topic, but said to He Yun: "Comrade He Yun, don't worry, as long as you can let us CCTV broadcast this cartoon, the cost is definitely not a problem, and we can even provide advertising space for your cartoon." ”

"No, no, no...... Director Li, it's not that I don't want you to broadcast on CCTV, but before, I have signed a contract with Kyoto TV, so ......"

"It's okay, Kyoto TV, we'll talk about it, as long as you agree, then everything will not be a problem." Li Jianping didn't wait for He Yun to finish speaking, and said directly.

Listening to the tone of his speech, CCTV should have been angry with Kyoto TV for a long time.

Thinking of this, He Yun thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed.

Originally, he didn't have hope for CCTV, so he didn't go to CCTV to talk about cooperation at the beginning.

But he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to the door, although they will not participate in the production, but with the big stage of CCTV, everything will be worth it.

However, He Yun didn't know that the early "Red, Yellow and Blue" program was not broadcast on CCTV 1, but on CCTV Literature and Art Channel, which was later CCTV 8, TV drama channel.

Originally, the CCTV channel only had a signal in the Kyoto area and around it, and it was not available nationwide.

…………

After Li Jianping persuaded He Yun, he immediately returned to CCTV, and He Yun came to Protestant Room 2 with his textbook preparation book and began to take today's public elective course.

"Today we are going to explore the special genre of reportage......

Time passed little by little, and soon, He Yun finished today's public elective class.

In stark contrast to the previous popularity, today's public electives are obviously more than half less.

The main reason for this is that He Yun's lecture today is "reportage".

Many students are not interested in today's topic.

But He Yun did not give up the lecture, and the reason is very simple, "reportage" is also non-mainstream literature, which is completely in line with the theme of his public elective course.

He didn't want to put it in the "cold palace" because he didn't listen to many people.

In his view, literature is not only about the sales of works, it is a comprehensive discipline, especially for him, who is about to study ancient Chinese literature, which is to be dabbled in deeply.

…………

Half a month later, in Kyoto, in the courtyard where He Yun was.

Wang Ruoyun, as the main person in charge of Yunyi Animation, convened the other two production companies and held a coordination meeting in a small studio.

Its main purpose is to discuss how to start the next step, that is, to officially enter the animation design stage according to the animation script created by He Yun.

This includes the design of each character, background design, etc.

In addition, it was necessary to coordinate the production process of the three parties, and at the same time, it was necessary to unify the tone of the production of this cartoon.

As the creator of the script and one of the planners, He Yun naturally attended.

However, he did not speak too much, but left the opportunity to Wang Ruoyun.

After all, he is obviously more familiar with He Yun than animation production.

For a whole afternoon, more than four hours, in the studio, it can be said that it was full of smoke, everyone talked about the world, and even more disputes were inextricable.

But fortunately, the result was good, and in the end, Wang Ruoyun persuaded both parties and set their respective production tasks.

As for He Yun, he was "paddling" the whole time.

…………

At the end of June, the school holidays are approaching.

He Yun's class has also been completed.

So, while thinking about his next creative work, he began to prepare for his PhD in the next semester.

From the beginning of the next semester, he will have to be an ordinary working doctor under Professor Liu, and he is already mentally prepared for his future life.

On this day, he received a letter.

The letter was sent to him by the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World, Liang.

After reading the letter, he fell silent suddenly.

It turned out that the editor-in-chief Liang said in the letter that he had won the Philip K. Dick Award again, but the award time had long passed.

Although the prize money was awarded by the awarding party, the situation was exactly the same as the last award, which made him extremely angry.

"Are these people sick in the brain, since they don't want me to appear at the award ceremony, why do they give me this award!"

He Yun complained secretly, and he finally decided to directly refuse the bonus to express his strong protest.

If he wanted to do it, He Yun immediately took paper and pen and wrote a clarification letter, intending to publish it in the newspaper.

After that, he sent a reply letter to Editor-in-Chief Liang, in which he made it clear that from now on, for all his science fiction works, if foreign institutions do not plan to notify him in advance to attend the award ceremony, he will not award him, and even if he does, he will refuse to receive the prize.

He Yun would rather not want this kind of "charity", and he could not allow these people to "insult" himself anymore.

The next day, the Kyoto Daily published an article titled "Is it tolerable or not?"

This article directly uses "Man Jianghong" as a pen name, and begins with a quote from Yue Fei's famous words "Man Jianghong's Angry Hair Rushes to the Crown".

As for the content after that, He Yun directly said to the Philip K Dick Award presenter in the United States. ”。

Moreover, at the end of the article, he also made it clear that if the foreign awarding parties did not notify him in advance to receive the award, he would also refuse to accept the award and refuse to accept the prize to show his strong indignation.

As soon as the article came out, it was quickly adopted by other mainstream newspapers in the country.

Guangming Daily, Workers' Daily, and even People's Daily also published articles on the subject.

For a time, this incident instantly aroused the indignation of the Chinese people.

In particular, many seniors in the writers' circle have published articles in newspapers, resolutely supporting He Yun's decision, and saying that if foreign literary awards are awarded in a way that discriminates against Chinese people, they will refuse to accept the awards.

Now, not only some newspapers in Xiangjiang have reprinted it, but even some foreign newspapers have published similar articles.

However, even so, many foreign newspapers appeared in an instant.

Even the Philadelphia Science Fiction Association, the winner of the Philip K. Dick Award, did not offer any explanation on the matter.

He Yun also learned about these things from the letter of Editor-in-Chief Liang afterwards, so I will not mention them at this moment.

At this time, he is busy working on a new work, a short science fiction work.

Or a series of works.

Each part can be written in its own right, but it is closely related and has a common story line.

And compared to previous science fiction works, this time, he will target a field that has never been set foot in before - prehistory.

The so-called prehistory is actually a relatively general concept, generally speaking, it refers to a very distant era, at least in tens of millions of years.

Some people may say that in this era, there will be some science fiction, isn't this nonsense?

Indeed, in prehistoric times, except for the age of dinosaurs, and even more ancient times, even creatures were rare, and there was really nothing to write about when it came to creating science fiction.

But the prehistory of the parallel universe Earth is different.

This science fiction short story is about 20,000 or 30,000 words, telling the story of a doctor of physics who uses a time machine to accidentally return to the prehistoric society, he found that in the prehistoric era, there was a more advanced civilization than the modern society, and what surprised him even more was that this advanced civilization finally disappeared in the long river of history, and even left no trace in the later generations, and his strong curiosity made him begin to explore the truth behind it.

But in the end, he suddenly found that all the evidence pointed to "theology".

Later, he discovered that those widely circulated myths and legends were strikingly similar to the advanced civilization of prehistory.

So, he came to the conclusion that the end of science turned out to be "theology".

This discovery naturally made the protagonist ridiculed and even scoffed at by the world, until the prehistoric civilization came to the real world through more advanced time travel technology, and the whole world changed dramatically in an instant.

It was also this "exchange" of time and space that caused frequent contact between the real society and the advanced civilization of the prehistoric era, which eventually led to a "great war".

Of course, at the beginning, the real society was naturally defeated and hit by dimensionality reduction.

But later, because of the paradox of time and space, the prehistoric advanced civilization also had a disagreement, some of the prehistoric intelligent life stood on the side of the real society, and the other part stood in the opposite direction, and the two sides continued to fight in the prehistoric and real world, which eventually led to the end of the real society.

As for the name of this science fiction work, He Yun also directly used "Prehistoric World" as the name of this science fiction.

However, in order to distinguish it from the short story series he created later, this first "Prehistoric World", he added a few words to the end, and it became "Prehistoric World - The Three Emperors".

What is the "Three Emperors", that is, the so-called Emperor Fuxi, the Earth Emperor Shennong, and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Of course, this is just one of the statements, in fact, there are many different combinations of the "Three Emperors", such as the Emperor, some people say that it is the "Suiren Clan", the Earth Emperor, some say that it is the "Yan Emperor", and there are even more human emperors.

But in He Yun's science fiction, he does not refer to the three emperors in mythology, but to the three leaders of advanced civilizations in prehistoric times.
