Chapter 471 "Future Mythical Warrior"
Half past nine in the morning.
Kyoto Normal University, in front of a teaching building, a figure holding an umbrella walked quickly.
Soon, he came to the gate of the teaching building.
The person who came was none other than He Yun.
At this time, after he put away the umbrella in his hand, he couldn't help patting the raindrops on his shoulders, stomped his feet again, and then walked into the teaching building with the umbrella.
"Hello Teacher He!"
"Teacher He, good morning!"
"Good morning!"
......
Along the way, from time to time, students greeted He Yun, and He Yun also responded with a slight nod to each of them.
Soon, he was in a classroom on the second floor.
By this time, the classroom was already full of students.
"Ahem...... Everyone be quiet, it's time for class. He Yun smiled at the students, and then coughed lightly.
Then, he was ready to start his lesson.
It's just that at this time, a person suddenly ran in in a hurry, and looking at her eager appearance, it seemed to be ..... Late.
"Huh...... Li Yan? Why did this girl come to me? ”
Looking at the girl who ran in, He Yun muttered to himself, but he didn't care too much.
Forty minutes passed.
After class, He Yun was just about to leave with his textbooks, when he saw Li Yan suddenly catch up.
"Teacher He! Teacher He! ”
"Something?" He Yun turned his head to look at Li Yan.
"Teacher He, congratulations! Become an Associate Professor! Li Yan smiled and congratulated He Yun.
"It's just an associate professor, it's not worth congratulating, okay, you better say it directly! I'll have something to do later. He Yun waved his hand at her and said immediately.
He is not perfunctory Li Yan, but there is really something.
Wu Yan called him yesterday and said that he had something to do with him today and asked him to go.
"Ugh....... Okay, Mr. He, then I'll make a long story short, didn't you ask me to create a custom film before? I've already created the first draft. ”
"What? Created so quickly? You're not kidding, are you? He Yun was shocked, and he looked at Li Yan incredulously.
It's only been a few days, and Li Yan has already written the first draft?
"Show me?" He Yun then said another sentence, but then said, "Forget it! You'd better give me the manuscript first, I'll read it when I get back, and I'll give you an answer in a few days. ”
"Done! Teacher He, give! As soon as Li Yan heard He Yun's words, she immediately nodded.
She immediately handed the dozen pages of manuscripts sandwiched in the book to He Yun.
He Yun glanced at it, and then caught it in the textbook, and left in a hurry.
..........
Half an hour later.
Inside an office.
He Yun and Wu Yan sat opposite each other.
At this time, Wu Yan got up and said, "Teacher He, shall I make you a cup of tea?" ”
"No, you don't! No! Mr. Wu, can you just talk about things? What the hell is it that is in a hurry to get me? He Yun hurriedly waved his hand at Wu Yan and said.
"Do you remember last year, when the president editor of "Science Fiction King" invited us, the members of the Science Fiction Association, to communicate?" Wu Yan saw He Yun waving his hand, so he sat down again and said to He Yun again.
"You know? Wasn't it the end of last year? What's wrong? Something can't be wrong, right? He Yun looked at Wu Yan with a puzzled expression, his face full of puzzlement.
Seeing He Yun's expression, Wu Yan immediately explained: ""The King of Science Fiction has been stopped from above!" ”
"What? Stopped! I remember it's only been two episodes, right? Why did it stop? He Yun was shocked and couldn't help but stand up.
"The reason is more complicated, but the main reason is the competent unit of their magazine, that is, the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology!" Wu Yan sighed and said to He Yun.
When He Yun heard this, he was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Wu Yan, and said suspiciously: "Wait, I remember that the competent unit of this magazine is not Jin Province and not the Science Writers Association?" How did it become the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology? ”
"That's the organizer, and the competent unit is the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology!" Wu Yan shook his head again and again, and immediately explained to He Yun.
"Oh..... Is it? Maybe I'm confused! But..... What are the specific reasons? It stands to reason that the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology should not stop publishing such a hot-selling magazine? Shouldn't that be? ”
Regarding He Yun's doubts, Wu Yan immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that there is no funding." ”
"What? There's no funding! That's not right! Didn't the magazine sell very well before? It should be able to sustain itself! He Yun was extremely puzzled.
"Actually, this matter has a lot to do with you, Mr. He!" Wu Yan hesitated for a moment and looked at He Yun very embarrassed.
When He Yun heard this, he was stunned: "Does it have anything to do with me?" What does this have to do with me? Is it ......? “
"That's right! It's because of your work. ”
"My work?"
He Yun couldn't help but be stunned, but he was a little confused.
He thought it was because of his manuscript fee that the funds were in short supply, but he didn't expect it to be because of his works.
"It's not that it takes a lot of people to adapt your work, but it's not easy to adapt your science fiction work at all, so they found a lot of foreign aid.
"I see! But it doesn't seem to have much to do with me, does it? I can't help them, can I? ”
When He Yun said this, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but look at Wu Yan, and then said, "You don't mean to let my Yunyi Animation Design Company draw for them, right?" That's not going to work! ”
"Uh..... Teacher He, where do you want to go! I mean, it's up to you to call on some sci-fi fans who like to draw sci-fi sketches to work for them......."
"There's nothing I can do about it, I can't make a decision for them, but I have a better way."
He Yun shook his head, then nodded, and continued: "In the final analysis, this matter is due to the lack of funds, if, I mean, if the problem of funds is solved, then can this problem be solved?" ”
"That's nature! With money, all problems can be solved, but the problem is, the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology does not have so much funds to maintain? Wu Yan smiled bitterly and said immediately.
"This is actually very easy to solve! Wouldn't it be nice to raise the price of each magazine appropriately?! He Yun smiled slightly, very confident.
"Price increase? No way! No way! There are not many people who can afford magazines now, and even fewer science fiction magazines, and if the price of magazines is raised, won't even fewer people buy them? ”
Wu Yan immediately shook his head and retorted.
"Of course, not only did the price go up, but at the same time, the number of pages was also appropriately increased, and I think it would be more appropriate to increase it to about 60 pages." When He Yun said this, he couldn't help but pause, he glanced at the expression on Wu Yan's face, and continued.
"Add another 32-carat sci-fi poster to the end, so that the magazine is worth the money, isn't it?"
In fact, the strategy He Yun mentioned was also the basic operation of later science fiction and fantasy magazines.
While increasing the number of pages, add some fancy things to it, so that after raising the price of the magazine, the buyer will not only not feel that he has lost, but will feel that he has earned.
"Your idea does have some viability, but the problem is that if you want to change it, it won't just increase the number of pages!" Although Wu Yan did not know much about the publication and distribution of the magazine, he also knew that such a big change would bring great difficulties to the magazine.
But then again, if it is really as He Yun said, it can indeed maintain this science fiction comic magazine.
After all, only if it is profitable, the magazine will continue to survive.
"This can only depend on how determined the Jin Provincial Association for Science and Technology can make!" He Yun shook his head and said.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, my opinion has also been raised, there should be nothing wrong, right?"
After He Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Wu Yan again.
"Hmm........ I'm really sorry this time, Mr. He, I'm sorry for your trouble! I'm also entrusted by someone, so ......"
"It's okay, I understand! It's true! Very understanding, I know they are embarrassed to come to me again, that's why I let you come forward. “
He Yun naturally guessed what they thought in "Science Fiction King", but he didn't care about these.
He has already said everything he should have said, and he doesn't care whether he will adopt his proposal or not.
.........
A few days later, Professor He Yun and Professor Liu returned to Kyoto University to begin a new phase of their research.
In this way, half a month passed quickly.
And He Yun's work "Archaeological Nuwa Tomb" was also finalized.
This time, he did not submit another article to the magazine "Story Club", but planned to publish it directly in the form of a single book.
And it is a package of the previous four series of works that are published together.
As for the publishing house, he has already found it.
It is published by the Huaxia Friendship Publishing House.
Huaxia Friendship Publishing House is an old publishing house in Kyoto, which has published many domestic and foreign works.
Moreover, the price of this opening is very high.
As long as the sales volume can reach more than 500,000, He Yun can get 150,000 royalties.
And if it reaches one million sales, then He Yun will be able to get at least 350,000 royalties.
Of course, these are simplified and traditional Chinese editions, which are still published by Huang Yi's publishing house.
After all, He Yun has a stake in this publishing house, and it is better to be cheaper than to be cheaper than to be cheaper.
.........
End of March.
Li Yan found He Yun again.
This time, she asked He Yun to continue revising the draft.
Last time, He Yun gave her a lot of advice, she revised it for a long time, and only came to He Yun again today.
"Teacher He, please help me take a look again, I have changed it according to your requirements."
"Oh.....? Let me see! He Yun took a look, but his eyes widened, and he almost squirted out the tea he drank directly.
It turned out that before this, the custom name created by Li Yan was "Little Overlord vs. Sun Wukong", and He Yun gave her advice on the spot, asking her to change the name of this "Thunder Man".
Although this is a custom text, or a custom text adapted from "Journey to the West", the name can't be so "thunderous".
Of course, then again, she is indeed not to blame for this.
Because the plot of this custom article she created is the story of a middle school student in the future, because of a "Little Overlord" learning machine, who traveled to the world of "Journey to the West" and helped Sun Wukong fight monsters.
The story was originally very simple, but later, after He Yun told her about the plot of an animated short film in the 80s called "Tintin vs. the Monkey King", she went back to revise it.
No, after some revisions by her, He Yun thought that she would describe the communication between the modern and the ancient according to the ideas he provided, or use the medium of "Little Overlord" like a magic mobile phone to make Sun Wukong travel to the modern era and other plots.
But he never expected that he not only changed his name to "Future Mythical Warrior", but also transformed Xiaobawang into a future technology product, so that mythical characters like Sun Wukong became future warriors, driving mecha to fight aliens in the depths of the universe.
Well, this brain hole is really not ordinarily big.
Even he himself had to admit that the student he taught was already better than the blue.
The mythical character travels to the future, becomes a future soldier, and also pilots a mecha to fight aliens, is this a plot that normal people come up with?
"Ahem....... Li Yan, did you really come up with this yourself? How did you come up with the idea of transporting mythical characters to the future world and fighting aliens! He Yun put down the manuscript in his hand, looked at Li Yan with an incredible expression, and said.
"That's how you came up with it? Mr. He, isn't this the inspiration you gave me? You told me before that since you can travel through the past, you must be able to travel to the future, and you also said that you should be bold in your thinking, after I went back, I thought about it for a long time and had no clue, and later, I happened to see my roommate reading a science fiction magazine, which was Mr. He's work "Prehistoric Times", so ......"
Li Yan's words made He Yun completely stunned.
Dare to love or because of me!
You cow!
You have come up with such a "wonderful:" plot, and the brain hole is really not ordinary.
"Teacher He, this.... Isn't it okay yet? At this time, Li Yan saw He Yun's face full of astonishment, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Okay! Didn't say no! I just didn't expect you to far exceed my expectations! He Yun smiled slightly, and immediately said to Li Yan.
"Really? Actually, I think it's okay too! After Li Yan heard He Yun's praise, she was also very happy and nodded again and again.
"Teacher He, since that's the case, then I'll proofread it again when I go back, and I'll send it out, okay?"
"Yes, but be sure to correct the typos, you look here, and here, there are several typos, is it a quick time to write? I think you can buy a computer and give it a try at computer typing. ”
"Computers? It's too expensive! It seems to cost more than 10,000 yuan, right? Although Li Yan is not short of money in her hands, she is still a little reluctant to let her spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy a computer.
"Whatever you want!" When He Yun heard Li Yan's words, he smiled at her, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I still have some things to do, I need to go out, you can go back and revise the manuscript too!" ”
"Okay! Mr. He, then I'll go back and revise the draft! Li Yan nodded, turned around and left directly.
And He Yun took an umbrella and went out.
After a while, he came to the courtyard where Wang Ruoyi was.
