Hu Changqing was very ambivalent about science fiction novels. He would occasionally go to a newsstand a little further away to buy a copy of "Science Fiction World" and read it secretly. He found those science fiction novels very interesting.
But he is afraid of letting others know that he is reading science fiction novels. He has experienced an era when science fiction novels were demonized, and he has a vague resistance to science fiction novels in his heart. Nowadays, the situation of science fiction novels is slightly better, but ordinary people only think of them as children's novels.
Readings.
Because he has such secretive ambivalence, he cannot understand why Yu Dong can be so upright.
But not everyone thinks the same as Hu Changqing. When the students of Gongmei learned that Yu Dong liked science fiction novels, they simply couldn't think of anything else.
They don’t think there is any conflict between writing science fiction novels and Yu Dong’s identity as a university teacher or a pure literary writer. As long as the writing is good-looking, there is nothing they can’t write?
Some students, like Qu Aiguo, were even more excited because Yu Dong had written a science fiction novel.
In Dormitory 201, Qu Aiguo was sitting on the upper bunk, holding up the newly bought "Science Fiction World" in his hand and said: "This time our class students are in great disgrace. Our teacher Yu wrote a science fiction novel. We didn't know it ourselves, so we have to
Wait for students from other classes to come and tell us. You didn’t see Liu Dekai’s proud expression at that time. As the monitor of our class, I have no shame in my face.”
Wang Kuo stood below and said with a smile: "You yourself like science fiction novels and buy every issue of "Science Fiction World". This time, someone stepped ahead of you. Who can blame you?"
"Hey, this is not a design competition coming up. In order to get you good results, I have been working hard to help you rush to the design draft every day. I don't have time to pay attention to it. The publication date of "Science Fiction World" is not fixed every time, and I can't do it every day.
Go to the newsstand and ask. After all, Liu Dekai and the others are lucky."
Having said this, Qu Aiguo jumped off the upper bunk with his hands on the edge of the bed. Then he walked next to Li Huixiang who was watching "Science Fiction World", tilted his head and asked: "Little Fatty, how are you? Have you finished watching?"
Li Huixiang was good at pushing Qu Aiguo's head away, "I said why are you so annoying? I'll ask you soon. I'll ask you soon. Every time I see the highlight, you come. When I see the climax is
Interrupt, do you know that feeling?"
The fat little Li Huixiang has a good temper, but he is speechless when Qu Aiguo frequently comes to disturb him.
Qu Aiguo was stifled and lifeless, and walked towards Wang Jin on the other side with a smile.
Wang Jin seemed to be on guard and waved his hand at him: "Stop, stop, stop."
After being rejected twice, Qu Aiguo looked at Wang Kuo who was doing push-ups to exercise, "Old Wang, why don't you also buy a copy of "Science Fiction World"? Can you support sales?"
Wang Kuo put his hands on the edge of the bed and glanced at Qu Aiguo, "I'm not interested in "Science Fiction World"."
"Didn't you say that you also like science fiction novels?"
"I'm talking about foreign science fiction novels. What's the point of our domestic science fiction novels?"
Hearing Wang Jin's words, Qu Aiguo quit, "Old Wang, this makes no sense. What do you mean by domestic science fiction novels that are boring? Have you read all domestic science fiction novels? How can you make such casual judgments?
There are also many excellent science fiction novels in China, but before..."
"Don't mention the past." Wang Kuo turned over and sat down on the bed, looked at Qu Aiguo, and said with a faint smile: "Let's just talk about it now. How is the quality of domestic science fiction novels now? Is it comparable to foreign countries?"
"Although the overall situation is not comparable..."
"That's it." Wang Kuo spread his hands and said.
Qu Aiguo thought for a moment and then said, "Aren't you always interested in the things that Teacher described last time? Then why don't you read Teacher Yu's novels?"
Wang Kuo looked suspicious and said, "Does this novel contain the things that Teacher Yu mentioned before?"
"That's not true." Qu Aiguo shook his head.
Wang Kuo rolled his eyes, "Tch, you didn't say anything. Even if there is, so what, what do things in science fiction novels represent?"
Qu Aiguo saw Wang Kuo's unwillingness and said, "That doesn't make sense to you."
After saying that, he carried "Science Fiction World" to the next door dormitory to sell it.
"Senior, please open the door. I am the patriot next door, here to give you some warmth."
…
After "One Day" was released on "Science Fiction World", Yu Dong gained some fame, but this fame was limited to the circle.
The current sales volume of each issue of "Science Fiction World" has not exceeded 10,000. Even if the resale rate is high, only tens of thousands of people have read it.
And not everyone may like the novel "One Day". Many people are not interested in such science fiction novels, and some even do not think it is science fiction at all.
Yu Dong never thought that "One Day" would cause such a sensation as soon as it was released, and even the subsequent serialization of "Second World" might not be able to change anything.
The domestic science fiction world is too small, and it lagged behind others in the beginning. It has suffered a lot of blows in the past few years, and everything has to be started all over again.
The market cannot be cultivated by one or two books, it needs to be done step by step.
In Yu Dong's vision, now that film and television dramas are developing rapidly, if you want to cultivate the domestic science fiction market, you will inevitably have to rely on the power of film and television dramas.
This will not only cultivate the domestic science fiction market, but also improve domestic capabilities in science fiction films and television dramas as early as possible.
Even if Yu Dong's idea cannot be realized domestically, he can still introduce foreign technical teams. Or he can have the novel adapted by foreign countries, so as to build the reputation of domestic science fiction novels first, and then use this reputation to feed back.
Domestic science fiction market.
This idea is not only for domestic science fiction literature, but also for all other domestic cultural products, including pure literature.
Coming back from later generations, Yu Dong is well aware of the power of culture.
When China was experiencing rapid economic development, it was constantly in contact with foreign countries, so cultural confrontation was unavoidable.
There is no smoke in the battlefield of cultural confrontation, but the impact may be more violent than an actual war.
For a long time, the Chinese people were not confident in their culture. The root cause was that they ignored the significance of cultural confrontation and fell behind from the beginning.
Take science fiction as an example. Obviously, a large number of outstanding science fiction writers have emerged in China. Whether it is the older generation of science fiction writers represented by Zheng Wenguang in the early stage or later Wang Jingkang, Liu Cixin, Han Song and others, their science fiction works
Many of them are world-level or even super-world-level.
