Liu Cixin's arrival was something He Yun did not expect.

Although before this, he and Liu Cixin had known each other for a long time, and even wrote letters to each other and met.

But it was definitely the first time he had come to visit him in a courtyard house in Kyoto.

After He Yun warmly welcomed him into the courtyard, he immediately said to his mother: "Mom! Please help me buy some fruit! ”

"You want watermelon, right?"

"Okay! Whatever! He Yun replied to his mother, and then led Liu Cixin to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Then, he poured another glass of water for Liu Cixin and said, "Come on!" Drink! ”

"Thank you, Mr. He!" Liu Cixin smiled at He Yun, and after taking the water cup, he thanked him.

Seeing this, He Yun immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Uh.... What is the teacher's name? Just call me by name! ”

"That's right! ...... you came to me today," He Yun then asked casually.

When Liu Cixin heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally said what he meant.

"Teacher He.... I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I came here today to ask for advice! ”

"I said don't call me Teacher He! Never mind.... Whatever you like, just scream! He Yun shook his head slightly, and then said: "If you ask for advice or not, if there is anything, you can just say it, I can answer, I will answer you as much as possible." ”

"Oh well! Then I'll leave it at that! ”

Liu Cixin couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head, and said again: "I want to ask you to help me analyze and analyze.... Here's the thing, I'm going to write a science fiction ......... about the laws of the dark forest of the universe"

"That's the general idea, you think I should be creating towards the cosmic system? Or do you use the microcosm to create you? ”

After Liu Cixin's words fell, He Yun immediately laughed.

He said, "Is this actually a good choice?" Whether it is macro or micro, it is a creative direction, if you feel that you are suitable for the development of the direction, you can create in which direction? ”

"Besides, based on what you just said to me, I think you already have the answer, right?"

When He Yun said this, he immediately set his eyes on Liu Cixin.

In fact, at this time, He Yun found that Liu Cixin at the moment already had his own ideas, and many of his science fiction views coincided with later generations, and some even seemed to be influenced by several of his science fiction articles, and there were some changes.

I have to say that He Yun's influence on him is really a bit big, which can't help but make him secretly worried, will this future generation of science fiction bosses accidentally go astray?

"Mr. He, do you mean that I should create in a macro direction?"

"But the teardrop-shaped battleship I envisioned seems to be ...... with the microcosm."

"Isn't that a contradiction? The creative direction is both macro and micro, so why bother with this! My articles, you must not be too deeply affected, mine is always mine, some of my views are not necessarily suitable for you, you should have your own independent ideas, so that a hundred flowers can bloom, do you understand? ”

He Yun shook his head and immediately said his opinion to Liu Cixin.

After Liu Cixin listened, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at He Yun and said, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your reminder, I almost walked into a dead end!" ”

"It's okay! It's okay! I'm just saying that, the key is to see what you realize! He Yun waved his hand and said immediately.

Next, He Yun chatted with Liu Cixin for a while.

At this time, her mother Gong Yue bought a watermelon and came back.

The two continued to chat while eating watermelon.

"Teacher He, do you know that the "Science Fiction World" magazine will hold the Chinese Science Fiction Annual Conference next year?" Liu Cixin seemed to remember something, and immediately looked at He Yun and asked.

"You know? Not long ago, the editor-in-chief Liang and President Yang of the magazine came to our Kyoto, and they also called our science fiction fans in Kyoto and Tsu City for a meal, and discussed this matter for most of the day. ”

When He Yun's words fell, he seemed to remember something again, and couldn't help but look at Liu Cixin and said, "What? Do you know anything more secret? ”

"No, no, no..... I mean, I'm going to come to Kyoto next year! ”

"What! Come to Kyoto! Are you going to the Annual Meeting? ”

"That's right! I've already talked to Editor-in-Chief Liang! He said he'd send me an invitation! ”

"Oh..... I'm going to send you an invitation, you're a celebrity in the sci-fi world now, and I heard that you've won another award this year? ”

When He Yun said this, he looked at Liu Cixin with a smile.

"Hmm...... However, you still can't compare with you, Mr. He, you are the first prize every time, and you have won it four times in a row! How can I compare with you! Liu Cixin shook his head slightly and said modestly.

Indeed, He Yun's science fiction awards almost every year, and most of them are first prizes, especially in the past few years, he has won the first prize four times in a row.

In this regard, He Yun didn't even have a trace of excitement.

Moreover, in the past few years, he has not had time to receive the award, and Liang Dakang usually sends him the prize money and the certificate.

After all, the two have long been old friends.

It can even be said that in the late eighties, if it weren't for He Yun, "Science Fiction World" would not be where it is today.

This is not He Yun's boasting, this is the case.

If "Science Fiction World" hadn't published He Yun's science fiction films, it might not have sold as much as it is today.

What's more, He Yun has a science fiction published in "Science Fiction World" every year, and many science fiction publications are also arranged by Liang Dakang.

Among the younger generation of science fiction authors, He Yun is definitely a well-deserved first.

"Alright! Don't compliment me! Tell me about you! You must have already published all of your science fiction books, right? He Yun has seen several science fiction films written by Liu Cixin in "Science Fiction World", although there is still a certain gap with later generations, but among the younger generation, it is already very good.

This is different from his previous life.

"Hmm...... It's all already published! Liu Cixin nodded and replied.

"Have you ever thought about getting it to Hong Kong or publishing it abroad?" He Yun smiled, and then asked Liu Cixin.

"Ugh....... In fact, Editor-in-Chief Liang is already thinking about publishing a traditional Chinese version for me? There is also a publishing house in Hong Kong that has agreed to publish it. Liu Cixin touched the back of his head, but replied immediately.

"Really?" When He Yun heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It is said that Editor-in-Chief Liang is also preparing to contact overseas publishers for me, and plans to translate it into English for publication!" Liu Cixin then added.

It can be seen that this thing makes him proud.

Also, he has become such a famous science fiction writer at a young age, and his works have even to be translated into English and published abroad, which is definitely something to be happy and proud of for young people.

"And..... There are two sci-fi awards in France and the UK this year, but what about one of my sci-fi works? ”

"What? What about the finalists? Has that work of yours been translated into English and published? When He Yun heard Liu Cixin's words, he was also shocked, and hurriedly asked.

Compared with him, he, the "predecessor" in the science fiction industry, is even a little inferior.

Because, since he rejected the science fiction award of the United States, there has been no news of his works winning awards in other countries, especially the science fiction awards in the Western world.

Even the sales of his works have dropped sharply abroad, so much so that his foreign royalty income has also dropped sharply every quarter.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, when He Yun was most excited, those foreign publishing houses seemed to have received some order, and they actually stopped contacting him for publication.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that a United States film and television company planned to buy his copyright, but in the end, it was also unsuccessful.

Regarding these encounters, He Yun naturally learned from Liang Dakangna.

But he didn't particularly care.

Although he has a little pimple in his heart, he is "stubborn" and does not plan to bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

He will not compromise, he will not give in!

Isn't it just that it can't be published and awarded?

Big deal, if he doesn't publish it!

What's the big deal!

Is it necessary to be fragrant abroad?

He has always felt that foreign countries are not superior, and science fiction has no so-called distinction between high and low, let alone politics and race.

"Nothing?" Liu Cixin shook his head, and hurriedly explained to He Yun: "The two awards that my work was shortlisted for are both foreign language awards, and the awards are not very famous, so ......."

"Understood! But boy! You have to be clear! We are Chinese, we must have backbone! Winning a prize is possible! But there can be no compromise! ”

"I know, Mr. He, Editor-in-Chief Liang and I have talked a lot about you, he said that you are a hero of the country, and in order to maintain the honor of our country, you even gave up to accept the award!"

Liu Cixin looked at He Yun with admiration.

In this regard, He Yun just smiled, waved his hand, and said modestly: "Editor-in-Chief Liang just likes this, I am a hero of some country, I just did what I had to do!" ”

Indeed, He Yun has always had his own principles in dealing with these things.

He would rather give up some honors than give up something.

..........

Time passed little by little, He Yun and Liu Cixin chatted for a whole afternoon, the two talked about foreign science fiction from foreign science fiction, and from science fiction in the 80s to science fiction in the future.

In the evening, He Yun deliberately left Liu Cixin to eat at home, and also informed him of some computer operations, which made him very interested, he said that after going back, he would definitely buy one and try computer typing.

It's June.

The weather is getting unusually hot.

He Yun couldn't stay in the study for a long time, so he had to go outside for a walk, planning to go to the home appliance market to buy an air conditioner and come back.

At this time, there are still a lot of domestic air conditioners in China, but the price has one thing in common compared with foreign ones, that is, "expensive".

That's right, an air conditioner is at least seven or eight thousand, and the power consumption is amazing, after all, there are no energy-saving air conditioners now, most of them are window air conditioners.

For example, the famous Gree air conditioner in later generations is now famous.

No, after going around the home appliance market, He Yun finally chose a Gree air conditioner.

Despite the noise and slow refrigeration, he chose to support domestic production.

After the workers installed the air conditioner, He Yun turned it on.

In the room, Mother Gong Yue looked at this thing, but shook her head slightly.

"Fourth! This thing is so loud, can you sleep this big night? ”

"Mom...... You can rest assured! The weather is so hot, buy this thing and you will be able to sleep, but this thing, the child can't blow it for a long time, and it must be covered with a quilt at night, and it can't be in front of the air outlet, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold, and even get air conditioning disease! ”

"Air conditioning sickness? What is this disease? Can you still get sick by blowing this thing? ”

After Mother Gong Yue heard He Yun's words, she shook her head again and again, and continued: "You should install this thing in your study!" Don't let your child get sick, that's not good! ”

"Mom! This air conditioning disease, as long as it is not ..... Forget it! Mother! I'd better install it in my study! He Yun saw that his mother insisted on not installing it, so he had to ask the workers to reinstall it.

Of course, in the end, He Yun paid more than ten yuan.

.........

At night, after the air conditioner is turned on, the study gradually cools down.

However, the noise was so loud that people couldn't sleep.

No, soon, the fifth sister He Ying, her mother Gong Yue, and Gao Yunyan came over with the child in her arms.

"Huh。。。。。。。 Fourth, this thing is really cool! What kind of air-conditioning sickness does this thing really make people get that? As soon as her mother Gong Yue came in, she felt cool and comfortable, and she couldn't help but ask He Yun in front of the computer.

"Mom! In fact, as long as you don't stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you won't get this disease, and it's okay to blow it once in a while! He Yun turned his head, smiled at the three of them, and quickly explained.

"Oh.... That's right, then I'll go to my room and bring the mat, it's too hot! ”

"I'll go too! I'll go too! At this time, the fifth sister He Ying also ran out.

After a while, the three of them sat down on the mat and began to cool off.

It wasn't until about eleven o'clock in the evening that the temperature gradually dropped, and everyone went back to their respective rooms.

And He Yun naturally turned off the air conditioner and went back to the room to rest.

........

The next day, Wang Ruoying came to the door.

As soon as he saw the air conditioner installed in the window of the study, he immediately said to He Yun: "He Yun, how much does this thing cost?" I want to buy one too! It's so hot that everyone is not in the mood to work?"

"That's more than 8,000!"

"What? More than 8,000! That's too expensive, isn't it? ”

"Or else? You think it's cheap? Look! This Gree, a domestic brand! Excellent quality! He Yun smiled at Wang Ruoyan and said.

"Gree? Where did I hear this name? “

"Wait! A few days ago, I remember that Mr. Dong, who came to visit, gave me a business card, which seemed to be Gree's! ”

"Oh..... Let me see? ”

When He Yun heard Wang Ruoyan's words, he was immediately stunned and said immediately.
