Since the late 1950s, "Reference News" has expanded its circulation scope and entered the homes of ordinary people. The circulation of the newspaper has increased year by year. It has become the daily newspaper with the largest circulation in the country, stabilizing at around three million copies. The highest record is
More than nine million copies.
The influence of such a newspaper with a huge circulation can be imagined.
Therefore, as soon as the news of "Resident Evil" was published in newspapers, it quickly spread throughout the country.
Shao Tianjun saw the news early that morning. "Reference News" is a must-subscribe newspaper in his unit, and he must read every issue.
When he saw that the author of "Resident Evil" was Yu Dong, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
"Just now, we got another big news for him. Well, we have to make another trip."
Thinking about it, he picked up the phone to call Yu Dong, but as soon as he picked up the phone, deputy editor Zhu Mingzuo ran into his office.
He held a copy of "Reference News" in his hand and said as soon as he came in: "Heavenly Army, have you read today's small reference?"
As soon as he said this, he saw the "Reference News" spread out on Shao Tianjun's table and said, "Have you seen the news about Yu Dong in it?"
Shao Tianjun pointed to the phone in his hand, "I was about to call him."
Hearing that Shao Tianjun was about to make a call, Zhu Mingzuo stopped talking and waited for Shao Tianjun to finish the call.
"Hey, Yu Dong, I, Lao Shao, probably have to trouble you... Well, I have to do another interview... This time it won't take long... Okay, then I'll go there tomorrow..."
After hanging up the phone, Shao Tianjun said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, I have already agreed with Yu Dong that I will go over tomorrow and interview him again."
Zhu Mingzuo came here just for this matter. When he heard that it was settled, he smiled and said: "You can handle the matter, I can rest assured. But you also have to reflect on this matter. I told you last time that you need to dig more. If you had done it at that time,
Digging out this news, now this news is ours."
"Yes, yes, I didn't do my job well."
Shao Tianjun nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to offend Zhu Mingzuo. Although Zhu Mingzuo was only the deputy editor-in-chief now, he would be promoted to editor-in-chief in the next few years. Moreover, Shao Tianjun was able to become the director of the reporter department because of Zhu Mingzuo.
Left carry.
"I don't want to criticize you, but I just want to remind you that this interview can no longer be careless, and we must actually dig out something. Our newspaper is the first to interview Yu Dong. You have contacted Yu Dong.
More, this is our advantage. Yu Dong may or may not want to hide something from you, you should spread your thoughts more and ask more questions." Zhu Mingzuo instructed.
"I know, I will definitely make more preparations this time."
Zhu Mingzuo nodded and said with a smile: "Today is different from the past. Yu Dong is now famous. You should also pay attention to maintaining the relationship. You can also chat with him more when you have nothing to do. It is not necessary to go there. Doesn't he have
As for the phone, you can also communicate on the phone. Or you can invite him to come and sit in the club. It's not far away anyway. Since it's a building close to the water, you should think more about it."
Shao Tianjun also laughed: "I think Yu Dong and Mr. Zhu must have a lot of topics to talk about. You are both top students who graduated from the Chinese Department."
"Come on, please keep this in mind, I'll go back first."
…
Yu Dong only learned in the morning that the news about "Resident Evil" had been published in "Reference News". This matter was not directly operated by Jimmy, but it was also related to Jimmy.
"Reference News" likes to translate this kind of foreign news commentary to show Chinese people how foreigners see the world and how foreigners see China. Jimmy just gave a push. He doesn't know whether it will succeed. After all, this newspaper is not
You can get it by spending money.
Now that the news is out, "Science Fiction World" should soon announce the release date of the Chinese version of "Resident Evil".
Yu Dong himself doesn't have much time to pay attention to these things now. His main focus recently is on "Going to the West".
Su Tong read the manuscript and gave his comments. He rated it very highly, saying that it had some shadows of magical realism, but it was different from the current magical realism works in China.
Since Marquez became popular, many magical realism works have been published in China. Not to mention, "White Deer Plain" published by Chen Zhongshi a few days ago is a typical magical realism work.
From the first sentence of "White Deer Plain", we can see that this novel has heavy shadows of Marquez.
"What Bai Jiaxuan later boasted about was that he married seven women in his life."
Writers of their generation were greatly influenced by Marx, including Yu Dong himself.
When Yu Dong was writing "To the West", he almost used a similar narrative method at the beginning. "To the West" is not a typical magical realism, but it definitely has the shadow of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
Now Yu Dong faces a problem: where should his novel be published?
This is the first time since his rebirth that he has to seriously think about the issue, or it has become a difficult problem.
Su Tong likes this novel very much, but there is really no way to publish "Zhongshan" now because it is too long.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Dong decided to contact "Contemporary" first. Although they had just serialized "White Deer Plain" and most likely would not include "Xiang Xiang", in Yu Dong's opinion, "Contemporary" was the most suitable for "Xiang Xi".
.
Moreover, "Contemporary" is backed by the People's Publishing House, so it will be convenient if a single volume is to be published in the future.
Yu Dong took out the first few dozen pages of "Xiangxi" and sent them to "Contemporary".
In fact, the best way is for Yu Dong to go directly to the magazine and show them the entire manuscript. However, the school exams are about to start recently, and he really has nothing to do, so he can only use this less efficient method.
But he is not in a hurry. The book has been written and it will be fine if it is published later.
…
On his way back to school after sending the manuscript, Yu Dong happened to meet two boys, Qu Aiguo and Wang Hailin, leading an activity with classmates from the Science Fiction Association.
"Hello, Teacher Yu."
The members all said hello to Yu Dong, and Qu Aiguo and Wang Hailin ran over, "Brother Dong, when will the Chinese version of "Resident Evil" be released? Everyone is very concerned about this."
Yu Dong did not answer his question, but looked at the other students and asked: "Didn't the school give you a mobile classroom? Why are you still doing activities outside?"
"The atmosphere is great, and there are so many people now that it's boring to be crowded in the classroom." Qu Aiguo said with a smile.
Wang Hailin also said, "Yes, the classrooms provided by the school are still too small."
Yu Dong glanced at Wang Hailin, "Xiao? Do you want me to tell Principal Wu to transfer the school lecture hall to your association?"
