Chapter 40 Introducing Publishers
Tong Yonglie not only wrote well, but also had a very funny lecture. He discussed the science fiction genres and future developments with these readers while talking and laughing, making the atmosphere liven up and not boring at all.
Even two professional science fiction writers, Lin Han and Li Wenyuan, listened with relish and had no intention of being distracted at all. Many of the views coincided.
"As a major country that produces and consumes science fiction works, the United States has maintained smoothness on the assembly line for decades, and the diversity and diversity of science fiction works are amazing. However, our domestic science fiction works have a trajectory of breakpoints and no annual ring line clearly runs through the entire life.
From the overall trend, it has to be admitted that the world's science fiction literature is in a declining era, and the golden age has passed. There are all aspects of the reasons. For example, the most serious problem with American science fiction literature is that readers are aging, and the older they get, the harder they develop.
But in our China, there are more and more young readers like you. They have gradually spread from a relatively closed circle of readers in the past and developed into various fields. They were previously limited to campuses, but now there are science fiction enthusiasts in all walks of life. Whether in the IT field, aerospace field, finance field, or the various professions you will engage in in the future, there are many science fiction fans.
I believe that with the alliance between a new generation of authors and a new generation of readers, the golden age of our science fiction literature will surely come! Thank you everyone.”
The audience was very excited when they heard the foreshadowing in front of the foreshadowing and finally stood up, applause was thunderous, and they all presented the warmest applause to the leader of Chinese science fiction literature.
Everyone is the creator of science fiction history, and everyone is the creator of the golden age of science fiction!
Lin Han clapped his palms hard. He knew that in the golden age of science fiction in the future, he would have a place. He was so excited that he could quickly go back and turn on the computer and write 20,000 words.
Tong Yonglie stood in front of the podium and bowed, but the continuous applause forced him to stop. Some listeners even ran to him with physical books to ask for autographs. The science fiction master also refused everyone, and agreed to sign or hug.
The school’s security guards and student union volunteers were maintaining order, and the people on the scene were reluctant to leave for a long time. This lecture strengthened their hearts to continue in science fiction. Not only did they read science fiction novels themselves, but they also recommended them to their classmates and friends around them, but also students with outstanding writing and imagination decided to write them themselves.
Walking from the aisle to the stage, Li Wenyuan smiled and hugged Tong Yonglie, and said jokingly: "Teacher Tong, you've spoken so well. Look, my hands almost swollen."
Tong Yonglie stroked his glasses, and he responded in a relaxed tone: "Xiao Li, where are you hiding? I have always looked for you with my eyes. If I had discovered you earlier, I would ask you to get up and share with you. Who is this?"
"Lin Han, I came with me to listen to the lecture and showed me his new book. If nothing unexpected happens, it will cause a big discussion. I am born to write science fiction novels."
At this time, Lin Han also came forward to introduce himself, and at the same time reached out to shake Tong Yonglie, "Hello Teacher Tong, I grew up watching your novels. Now I finally saw a real person. If I hadn't thought that the book was too heavy, I would have dragged a big basket of your books to find you to sign."
This is not true at all. The original owner has liked to read science fiction novels since he was a child, and novels from the 1990s almost accompanied him in his growth.
"I know that your article "Rural Teacher" is a lot of friends around me who say the quality is very good, and it is not surprising that they can be featured in "Selected Novels". What type of book is written in? If you write a long article, you can consider publishing it."
Lin Han took advantage of the moment no one asked Tong Yonglie to sign, so he quickly said: "It mainly writes about robots, involving all aspects of robots, which are considered the history of robots, and consists of several small stories."
"I just read the first two chapters in the morning. They were written quite well, especially the three major laws of robot listed at the beginning, which was surprising to me. This is definitely a landmark symbol. A genius-like concept can set a benchmark for the authors who wrote about robots later." Li Wenyuan kept praising him. He couldn't calm down when he thought of this. No one among Chinese and foreign science fiction writers has summarized these three laws.
Tong Yonglie suddenly became interested. He looked at Lin Han and said with a smile: "Xiao Li said so. If I don't like him, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep when I go back at night. Will it be convenient for me to see it?"
Lin Han spread his hands, "This is my honor. Should I send it to your email address or what?"
"Send it to my QQ email first. We walked and said, if it's okay at noon, we'll have a meal together. Two friends from Renmin University Press and two professors from Renmin University are here. We can expand our connections and find them in the future if we publish a book."
It turns out that Lin Han was worried that he could not find an acquaintance from the publishing house. If he contributed as a newcomer, he would often be priced and exploited. He would naturally not worry about having an acquaintance lead the way.
He looked at Li Wenyuan and quipped, "Of course it's okay. This is from Renmin University Press. If they want them to publish my novel, it will be a great news."
After Tong Yonglie packed up the things on the table, he slowly walked outside. At this time, several middle-aged men walked over with a smile.
"Old Tong, our students from Renmin University should be worthy of face. You must not refuse to let you come before. These are all the seedlings of science fiction."
"Yes, I'll be considered a five-day visit to the cottage."
"I haven't read you for a long time and when will I show us my new book? There are not many good science fiction books in recent years."
"Your National People's Congress is indeed in good atmosphere. I was wondering if this lecture hall would be too big and how did a thousand people come. I found that there were still people standing behind me listening, which really touched me. As for the new book, I was still thinking about it, but this friend next to me said that there is a very good new book, and we can take a look together later." Tong Yonglie pointed to Lin Han, and he introduced it and said: "Lin Han, whose pen name is Alien, wrote "Rural Teacher". Li Wenyuan, the author of "Breaking Out of the Solar System" and "Decisive Battle with Space."
Most novel authors are famous for their books, but not for others. Many people know that there is this book, but they don’t know what the author’s name or what it looks like.
Therefore, when Tong Yonglie introduced it, he said the pseudonym and representative works so that he could get the name of the name.
These people seem to have a very good relationship. Tong Yonglie pointed at these people and said, "This is Zhao Han, the general manager of Renmin University Press, next to him is senior editor Liu Jun. As for this inappropriate person, Ye Guangliang, professor of Hanqing College of Renmin University, and finally this is Professor Gu Ming, a Marxist researcher."
It turns out that there are great scholars who talk and laugh, but they never get along with each other. Tong Yonglie's friends are all considered high-level intellectuals.
Lin Han smiled at these seniors and greeted him, "Hello seniors, I am Lin Han, I'm writing some science fiction novels without any trouble."
Zhao Han looked at Lin Han and said, "Your "Rural Teacher" is really well written. Many people in our publishing house like it. I thought you were a person in your thirties and forties. I didn't expect you to be so young, but you are so young and promising!"
"This is the first time we have seen teachers linking science fiction, which is a very novel way of writing. Those of us who have been teachers all their lives naturally love this article. Do you think it's, Lao Gu?" Ye Guangliang also sighed.
"Who said no, the younger generation is terrifying. The future of science fiction novels is in your hands. When will your new book be published, I will definitely buy it to read it." Gu Ming and the others are all science fiction enthusiasts. It is extremely valuable to them to see the latest high-quality novels appear.
Tong Yonglie patted Zhao Han on the shoulder, "Old Zhao, please check Xiaolin's new book later. If possible, your Renmin University Press can publish a science fiction novel!"
