Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 30
After having lunch, Tan Kai was going to take a nap in the office.

Since this summer, he has developed the habit of taking naps. Before that, he couldn't fall asleep at noon at all, and the situation of the magazine at that time did not allow him to use the noon time to sleep.

Yesterday afternoon, the president Yang Xiao held a collective meeting to discuss again about the serialization of "Second World" in "Science Fiction World". For this matter, they have held many meetings.

But yesterday's meeting was a little different. Yang Xiao's attitude from the very beginning of the meeting was very firm. It was not so much that they were discussing whether to serialize "Second World" yesterday, but Yang Xiao was informing them that the magazine had decided to serialize "Second World". The Second World" result.

No one has an opinion, and no one dares to have an opinion. The magazine is supported by Yang Xiao. As long as Yang Xiao is willing, the magazine can be her voice.

Of course, Tan Kai has no opinion, because from a very early time, he thought that this should be done. Even if there is a risk, so what, how bad can it be?
And today is different from the past. They are not the only ones in the science fiction world who insist on doing science fiction literature. Since the annual meeting of the World Science Fiction Association was held in Rongcheng in May, many domestic publishing houses and magazines have also seen the potential of science fiction and are actively engaged in science fiction. Explore more possibilities for sci-fi.

This means that even if it fails this time, it will only be the failure of one of their magazines, not the failure of the entire domestic sci-fi community.

So now Tan Kai is very relaxed, he feels that the future is very bright, even if it is bad, it will not be bad.

However, today Tan Kai's good wish to take a nap could not be realized.

As soon as he sat down, the door was pushed open by Yang Xiao.

"Tan teacher, look at this."

Tan Kai had long been surprised by Yang Xiao's behavior, he sat up straight and looked at the white magazine lying on the table.

Of course he recognized it as "Zhongshan" magazine, and he also remembered that today was the day when this issue was released, but he hadn't had time to read it.

"Zhong Shan, what's wrong?"

Yang Xiao pushed the book in front of Tan Kai, "There is an article in it called "Mending the Sky", look at it."

"Is there an article?" Tan Kai was even more puzzled, "Could it be that "Zhongshan" is also a science fiction work? It's impossible."

Yang Xiao didn't answer Tan Kai's doubts, and Tan Kai didn't expect Yang Xiao to answer. He picked up the magazine, and then found "Mending the Sky" in the catalog, "Oh, page 25, I'll come...Huh?"

He just glanced at the author's name by the way, but his eyes suddenly straightened.

"This Yu Dong, is that Yu Dong?"

It sounds like a tongue twister.

Yang Xiao nodded, then shook his head again, "I'm actually not sure, but I feel like I should be alone. You don't need to ask me why I feel this way, you'll find out after you finish reading this novel."

Tan Kai nodded, without any nonsense, he directly read "Mending the Sky".

He thought it was a very short article, but it took more than half an hour to read it.

On the one hand, the length of the article is indeed not short, on the other hand, the tightness of the plot of this novel is simply suffocating.

While reading it, Tan Kai felt like he was being punched in the heart, and the next punch after each punch was faster and stronger.

Tan Kai finally understood why Yang Xiao said that she felt that the author was the Yu Dong they knew. Although this novel was not a science fiction novel, it had a little bit of apocalyptic shadow and a bit of dystopia.And now that he has experienced a stormy reading experience, and then chews it carefully, he can feel that the writing style of this novel is a bit similar to "Second World".

Then I contacted the address of "Zhongshan" magazine in Jinling. The editor-in-chief Su Tong also graduated from Yanshi Normal University with Yu Dong. This Yu Dong is probably Yu Dong, the author of "Second World".

It can't all match up, but there are two Yu Dong, Tan Kai doesn't believe there is such a coincidence.

"What do you think?" Yang Xiao asked when he saw that he had finished reading.

Tan Kai rubbed his sour eyes, nodded and said, "It should be him, in fact, it's nothing unusual, just look at the style of "Second World", he has a strong foundation in pure literature. I suspect that here Before the article "Mending the Sky", he often published articles in major literary magazines, otherwise he would not have such a deep foundation, but we didn't pay attention."

"It's a good thing." Seeing that Yang Xiao didn't speak, Tan Kai continued, "We should be happy that he is willing to write science fiction novels, the pure literature circle has been not next to the science fiction circle these years, which is not good for us. "Mending the Sky" is a very good novel, if Yu Dong can shine in the literary world in the future, he may become a bridge between the pure literature circle and the science fiction circle."

Yang Xiao still didn't speak, she was seriously considering Tan Kai's words.

After a long while, Yang Xiao suddenly laughed, "Why do I feel that we are so lucky this year?"

Tan Kai also laughed, "Probably because of the general trend."

"The general trend... Yes, it seems that I have to contact Yu Dong again as soon as possible. If this "Mending the Sky" becomes popular, we will not be able to pay Yu Dong's manuscript."

……

Yu Dong is still on fire.

But in Jin Yi, he can definitely be called a "superstar".

Walking on the road, there are often students staring at him, as if looking at some kind of rare animal.When encountering students in their engineering class or other students who are out of character, they will directly boo.

"Mr. Yu, Harvest and Zhongshan have been captured, and October and Contemporary have also been captured."

"Looking forward to your Grand Slam."

And it can be seen with the naked eye that the frequency of "Zhongshan" magazine in Jinyi has increased a lot. Many students bought a copy of "Zhongshan" magazine with the idea of ​​"it was written by our school teachers and must be supported". , as an aid.

Not only the students will be booing, but Yu Dong's friends will be booing too.

For example, on the night of the [-]st, Yu Dong was fetching water from the well by hand, and He Yu ran out with his slippers on, his expression extremely exaggerated: "Yu everyone, don't move, let go of your hands quickly, don't waste your energy on this mundane task. Come on, let Sajia do it for you."

Yu Dong pressed him on the face: "Go go go!"

When the teachers in the building heard the following conversation, they all laughed heartily.

Yu Dong also pursed his lips and smiled. He was very emotional. At this time, the distance between people is so close. Writers not only communicate with others through words, but also are not far from people in life.

Writers who come out of the masses must eventually return to the masses, because the masses are the cornerstone of writers' writing.
