Chapter 124 Advance
The pov writing method is also a point-of-view character writing method. This method can illustrate the same scene from different perspectives, seek differences, and bring sensory stimulation to readers.
For example, "A Song of Ice and Fire" uses this kind of technique.
Yu Dong is useless because he just wants to narrate this matter from God's perspective, just to add some information to the novel.
He added many things in the book, such as energy depletion, climate change, and the abuse of genetic technology, all to make readers feel that the stories in the book are very likely to happen.
Then he wrote about the collapse of the American government and the control of the political power by oligarchs. These oligarchs controlled Europe, carved up Southeast Asia, and enslaved the local people through the technology and resources they held.
All of this is actually to give readers a subtle psychological hint that the ideas of American imperialism are unacceptable and harmful to others and themselves. At the same time, it also implies that readers should beware of traitors and not to be seduced by the rhetoric of American imperialism.
Yu Dong must carefully grasp the scale. He did not write China too strong, but outlined an image of a country that prepares for rainy days, develops quietly, and focuses on stability. He just wants to tell people that China may be the final answer.
Because the confrontation of ideas must be subtle and silent, if he writes about China too strongly, it will be divorced from reality and counterproductive. Readers will think that these stories are just spiritual victories without any reference significance.
It would be great if Yu Dong now described China as a superpower, making neighboring countries tremble and making Europe and the United States afraid to touch it.
How satisfying is it? Besides being scolded as mentally retarded by readers, what else can you do?
If this could be used as an ideological weapon to influence others, then those little stories on the street stalls would have revitalized China long ago.
If you want people to accept an idea, the best situation is for others to silently accept the idea before they even react. Only in this way will the idea take root, sprout, and grow.
…
Early in the morning on May 26th, Yu Dong had just washed up and returned to the house when he received a call from Yang Xiao.
"Sister Xiao, why did you call me so early?"
Yang Xiao on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "I was afraid that you would have to go to work, so I called you early. Do you have any new works recently? Lao Tan and his editorial department are under a lot of pressure recently."
"Sister Xiao, you called me early in the morning just to ask about the manuscript. This is not like your style." Yu Dong smiled and continued, "I have been writing an article recently, but it is a bit long.
It might take a while to come out."
"It's okay. I can write some long stories first and write them while serializing. "Second World" will be over in a few months, so it would be good to take advantage of the popularity of the last few issues to publish a new book."
"It's better to wait until I finish writing it for you. It will be finished in about one or two months."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Yang Xiao paused for a moment before continuing: "I'm calling. I have another thing to tell you."
Yu Dong curled his lips and smiled, knowing that it would not be as simple as just asking about the manuscript. Yang Xiao would never ask about the manuscript in person, and usually let Tan Kai do it.
"Well, you say."
Yang Xiao muttered: "This year's Galaxy Award was originally planned to be held in autumn and winter, but now I want to advance it. And this year I plan to make it more grand and invite more people."
"This is a good thing." Yu Dong smiled.
The current Galaxy Awards is indeed quite shabby. Last year, it was combined with the World Science Fiction Convention, so it was made a little grander and a conference room in a big hotel was built. For other years, it was just a small office and a banner.
They sat face to face and handed out the awards.
But there is nothing we can do about it because we really have no money.
Previously, the Galaxy Award was jointly organized by "Science Fiction World" and "Wisdom Tree". The two companies shared the money. Not to mention the money was more, but at least it was more lively.
Later, "Science Fiction World" was independently organized. However, in recent years, the science fiction market has been extremely sluggish. The magazine has been unable to make ends meet and its own survival has been difficult to guarantee. How can it still attend to the grandeur of the Galaxy Awards.
Yang Xiao now has this idea, probably because "Science Fiction World" has received a lot of attention this year, and the magazine's profits have also improved. She wants to strike while the iron is hot, get the reputation of the Galaxy Award out, and stimulate science fiction.
market.
But what Yu Dong couldn't figure out was why Yang Xiao told him this.
"You think it's a good thing, too. I'm telling you this because I want to see your attitude. After all, you will definitely be the protagonist of this Galaxy Award."
"Look at my attitude? Sister Xiao, you are joking."
"I'm not kidding you. It's not impossible to say that this year's first prize is your work. In addition, I also hope to invite some people from the film and television industry to attend the conference. I still have some connections in China.
You can solve it yourself. But overseas, they may need your help." Yang Xiao said.
Yu Dong immediately understood what Yang Xiao meant. She probably hoped that she could invite Harold over.
"Sister Xiao, I know what you mean, and I am very willing to help you. But I really can't help you. In fact, all the cooperation between Harold and I is through James. If you really want to contact me, then
Bian, you should look for James." Yu Dong said.
Yang Xiao sighed, "I understand this, but you also know that James spends most of his time in the United States. I can't contact him, so I can only contact him through you."
"Actually, I'm just like you. I can only passively wait for him to come. A few days ago, I sent a letter to the Yanjing address he left and told him my phone number. I haven't received his call yet.
It should be that he is not in China." Yu Dong also told Yang Xiao about his situation.
After pondering for a while, Yang Xiao said: "Okay, I understand. When he calls you, remember to tell me. If you really can't invite the director, you can also invite him as the screenwriter."
"Okay, I will definitely bring the message."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong fell into deep thought. From the time he came back to now, the advancement of the Galaxy Awards should be considered a relatively big change.
At present, this change is definitely beneficial.
Although the domestic science fiction market is still relatively small, it has formed a virtuous cycle. Seeing the hope of profitability, "Science Fiction World" can invest more manpower and material resources, and these manpower and material resources will feed back to the domestic science fiction market.
