Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 93 Yanjing International Book Fair

Yu Dong laughed secretly after reading Jimmy's invitation letter.

This guy is quite good at taking credit. In the letter, he has built himself into a benevolent person who only runs for his friends regardless of gains and losses.And he is good at speaking big truths and likes to sing high-profile.

What are the words "for the friendship between the two countries", "for the cultural exchange between the two countries", "for the promotion of science fiction literature", he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yu Dong knew that he must have a plan, otherwise he would not be so active, and he even wrote a letter to ask for credit.

But no matter whether Jimmy James has his own Xiao Jiujiu, he really helped Yu Dong's work to promote it, so Yu Dong still remembers this favor from Jimmy in his heart.

And Jimmy James, although very cunning, is still abiding by the rules, not the kind of person who can only do one-shot deals.Whether I can make friends or not, at least he is a pretty good partner.

……

Jin Yi has already started school. Originally, many students did not pay attention to the news of "Science Fiction World" when they went home. However, a group of Yu Dong's fans led by Qu Aiguo spread the news within two days of the start of school.

So far, Yu Dong's fame in Jinyi has reached a new level.

Moreover, Yu Dong's fame is not limited to Jinyi anymore. Students in schools such as Jinda University and Southeast also gradually know that Jinyi has a teacher who writes novels and makes a lot of money.

There have been some changes in Yu Dong's life, but not much, except that more people greeted him when he was walking on the road.

At the end of February, Yu Dong went to the "Zhongshan" magazine.

Seeing Yu Dong this time, Su Tong directly rolled his eyes, "Yo, this great writer Yu has a lot of time to spare, and he still has time to come to our club. It's really bright."

Yu Dong smiled and apologized, "Senior brother, don't make fun of me. You also know that there are a lot of trivial matters at the beginning of the school year. Didn't I come here after a short sigh of relief?"

"Do you think I blame you for not coming some time ago?" Su Tong smiled, got up and walked to the sofa to sit down first, then pointed to the kettle and said, "If you want to drink the water yourself, don't expect me to serve you."

"No, no, I'll serve you." Yu Dong smiled and took the kettle to add some water to Su Tong's cup, and then made himself a cup of tea.

Su Tong lit the cigarette and glanced at Yu Dong's teacup, "You're welcome, just pick up the tea."

"It just happened, I just picked it at random."

Su Tong lit the cigarette, then stared at Yu Dong with a smile, "Two things, one is your publication in "Science Fiction World", and the other is about "Harvest". I don't know much about science fiction. Having said that, you have your own choices and concerns. You didn't tell me about it. I have no opinion. As for "Harvest", I can also guess. It is estimated that you think the manuscript is not suitable for "Zhongshan". But I still hope that you Give me a first look, give me a chance, give Zhongshan a chance."

Yu Dong nodded and said, "I didn't think much about it. Before, editor Wang of "Harvest" wrote several times to invite manuscripts, and I wrote one to them."

"I haven't seen the manuscript yet. Editor-in-chief Cheng told me that it will be next month, so I won't ask you what you wrote. I will read it myself next month. You should know that I have a good relationship with Cheng Yongxing. He was in charge of editing "Wives and Concubines"." Su Tong breathed out a mouthful of smoke and continued: "As your brother, I certainly hope that you can communicate with me more in life and in your works. As "Zhong Shan" "Editor-in-Chief, I have my responsibilities and my selfishness, and I hope that authors from all over the world will submit their manuscripts to our magazine, including yours."

Then Su Tong laughed again, "But I'm still very happy to receive a call from Cheng Yongxing. He can call me to tell me about this matter, which proves that your work is really of high quality this time. What does this prove? It proves that I'm not wrong, as long as you stick to it, you can go far on this road of literature, at least farther than me."

"Senior brother, you are killing me." Yu Dong said with a smile.

Su Tong waved his hand holding the cigarette, and the cigarette drew a wavy trajectory in the air.

"I'm just telling the truth. As for your writing science fiction, you don't need to think too much. Now times are different, you can write with confidence. Although I haven't read the science fiction you wrote, I believe you have your own ideas and will have them. own principles."

Yu Dong nodded secretly, it was not easy for Su Tong to say such words.

Yu Dong originally thought that when Su Tong learned that he was writing a science fiction novel, he would bitterly scold him for going astray.Unexpectedly, he still had some support.

In fact, if it was a few years ago, Su Tong would have criticized Yu Dong and would have expressed regret for Dong's writing of science fiction.However, in recent years, Su Tong's own concept has changed a lot, and his works have gradually changed from "how to write" to "what to write".

He himself also began to pay attention to the portrayal of characters and the construction of stories.

Su Tong gradually accepted some things that he could not accept before, such as making the works have more storytelling and less self-consciousness.

Hearing that Yu Dong was writing science fiction at this time was just a bigger step for him.

"Thank you for your understanding, brother." Yu Dong said sincerely.

Su Tong smiled and said, "Don't thank me, even if I don't understand, you should follow your own path. Literature is very important, but literature should be placed under the freedom of personal will, and should not go against your own heart."

"That's why I want to thank you even more, thank you for saying this to me."

Su Tong waved his hand and did not continue talking on the topic, but said: "Actually, if you don't come today, I will also go to find you. In the middle of next month, I will go to Yanjing, Yanjing International Books. The exposition invited several writers in Jinling, including you."

"And me?" Yu Dong asked in surprise.

Su Tong said with a smile: "What's so strange, the exhibition has invited many writers, basically everyone they can get in touch with. Because it's at their own expense, not many people are willing to go there."

Yu Dongming realized that he wanted to find some people for free to give the exhibition a boost.

"I haven't been to Yanjing for a long time. I'm going to see some old friends. We're going to go for about three or four days. I checked the specific time. It happens to be on the weekend. You only need to take a day or two off. Can."

Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I can't answer you now. I have to go back and look at my work arrangement before I can decide."

Su Tong smiled and said, "No hurry, you come according to your own plan. After all, it is not a particularly important matter. I want you to come with me, and I also want to bring you to meet some interesting friends."
