After learning about the relationship between Yu Dong and Hu Yueming, Cheng Yongxing's attitude towards Dong became even more enthusiastic. With people who knew each other in common, there were more topics to talk about between them.
And the relationship between the two does not end there. As the editor who single-handedly promoted the publication of "Wives and Concubines" in "Harvest", Cheng Yongxing also has a very good relationship with Su Tong.
So their topic of conversation changed from one Hu Yueming to two people, Hu Yueming and Su Tong.
After chatting for more than an hour, Cheng Yongxing said with a smile, "I'm very happy that we can have an excellent young writer like you in Shanghai. It's also very enjoyable to chat with you. But I have a lot of work at hand, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore."
You chatted."
Yu Dong apologized: "Sorry, I delayed your work."
"This is an exaggeration. You and I are both natives of Shanghai and have common friends, so we are very destined. In addition, although I have a good relationship with your teacher Hu Yueming, there is a small age difference between the two of us.
Point, we still have more common topics. From now on, whenever you have time, come over and sit down, just treat this as your home."
As he spoke, Cheng Yongxing lit the cigarette in his mouth.
Seeing Cheng Yongxing lighting up his cigarette, Yu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Yongxing is addicted to smoking, but wants to quit smoking, so he likes to hold the cigarette in his mouth without lighting it.
This cigarette has been in Cheng Yongxing's mouth for at least half an hour now. During this half hour, Yu Dong paid a lot of attention to this cigarette, thinking about when Cheng Yongxing could light it.
With.
"Oh, by the way." After lighting up the cigarette, Cheng Yongxing seemed to suddenly remember something. He patted his head and said, "I almost forgot to tell you something. On the 27th, Yan Geling is going back to Shanghai.
, I have made an appointment with Wang Anyi, Ge Fei and several other writers to come and sit at the magazine, are you available then?"
"I should have time." Yu Dong thought for a while, and there should be nothing going on on the 27th.
"Then you come over and let's talk together."
"Of course I'm fine, but why would Yan Geling return to Shanghai at this time?"
There is a reason why Yu Dong asked this. Although Yan Geling was born in Shanghai, she did not stay in Shanghai for a long time, probably only a few years.
No one has ever labeled Yan Geling as a "Shanghai writer".
Cheng Yongxing shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know about that. She has published two long articles in "Harvest" before, and we have kept in touch. The last time we talked on the phone, she mentioned that she would go back to Shanghai for a visit before.
, I naturally invited her to come and sit in the magazine."
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely come over on the 27th." Yu Dong nodded, then stood up, "I won't bother you today."
"I send you."
"Need not……"
Cheng Yongxing's vigorous and resolute attitude was always on display, even when it came to sending Yu Dong as a gift. Just as Yu Dong opened his mouth to refuse, Cheng Yongxing had already pulled Yu Dong out of the door.
Yu Dong was pulled out by Cheng Yongxing. He stared at Cheng Yongxing pulling his arm, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This way of giving away is really super hardcore.
…
After walking out of the Shanghai Writers Association Center, Yu Dong was still thinking about Yan Geling.
Yan Geling will definitely be the most commercially successful female writer in China in the next few decades.
This "commercialization" is not derogatory, but an affirmation of Yan Geling's work.
In China, even if someone doesn't know Yan Geling's name, they have probably seen the film and television dramas adapted from her works, and most likely there are more than one.
For example, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Youth", "Heavenly Bath", "Auntie Duohe", "A-Ma is a City", "Return", etc.
Each of the works listed above is outstanding.
It is also worth mentioning that because of her family background and living abroad all year round, Yan Geling is one of the few writers in China who can write bilingually.
Although Yu Dong had some doubts about Yan Geling coming to Shanghai during the New Year period, he was still looking forward to the party on the 27th. It was a joy to meet other writers.
…
Rongcheng, "Science Fiction World" magazine.
Tan Kai ran to the president's office with excitement and reported the good news to Yang Xiao: "President Yang, Yu Dong's letter has arrived. He told me that the copyright matter has been negotiated. But regarding the specific details, such as the price,
He didn’t reveal the identity of the other party, he only said that he would not reveal it until the other party announced official information.”
Yang Xiao nodded and expressed understanding, "This is normal. Anyway, as long as we know that the matter is indeed settled, we can achieve success. Let's not be anxious and wait for the other party to announce it. This is just in case. If someone buys the film and television adaptation rights, it may not be possible.
It will be filmed, and we here are in a hurry to publicize it everywhere, and then we will make a mistake and make people laugh."
"I think so too. Let's just wait for the other party to announce it first, and then we will just push it." Tan Kai nodded, and then handed a document to Yang Xiao: "Look at this, it's
According to the approximate sales statistics, the sales volume of this issue has exceeded 10,000, and there is still the possibility of growth."
Yang Xiao took the document and read it carefully from beginning to end, then showed a satisfied smile, "I have been holding it back for more than half a year, and the rise has finally become a little stronger."
After saying that, she stood up again and pointed to the sofa to motion Tan Kai to sit down.
After both of them sat down, Yang Xiao continued: "We have not been busy this year. From the World Science Fiction Annual Conference in May, to the selection of serialized novels and the change from bimonthly to monthly, this is an extraordinary year for us.
.In this year, we have made a lot of efforts and made many breakthroughs. Fortunately, these efforts have not been in vain, and these breakthroughs have not failed."
Tan Kai was also very happy with the magazine's achievements this year. He said with a smile: "I don't think it's luck, but the hard work over the past few years has finally begun to bear fruit. "Science Fiction World" can be run well, and it has always been
The faith we stand by.”
"Old Tan, you are right, but I still think we are lucky enough, and Yu Dong is our biggest luck this year. I believe that "Science Fiction World" will definitely get better and better, but Yu Dong has accelerated our development
"pace." Yang Xiao said with emotion, "During this period, I sometimes think back on what happened in the past few months, and I feel like Yu Dong seems to have appeared out of nowhere. He has never published science fiction.
He was able to write a long novel as soon as he started, and he originally followed a purely literary path. Now he is not only willing to write science fiction novels, but he can also write them so well."
Hearing what Yang Xiao said, Tan Kai couldn't help but nod, "It's really amazing to think about it this way."
