Yu Dong had never thought about publishing an article in "Zhongshan" without telling the veteran, otherwise he would not have told the veteran that he had published a novel in "Science Fiction World" before.
He had never thought about hiding his identity, after all, he didn't think there was anything to hide about his identity.
Yu Dong told the veteran in his reply that "Mending the Sky" was indeed written by him.
In his reply to Tan Kai, Yu Dong answered the questions listed by Tan Kai one by one, and also asked about the recent situation of the magazine.
The February issue of "Science Fiction World" has been delayed for several days. It is usually available before the first of every month, but this February issue has been delayed for many days.
On the way to school today, Yu Dong went to a nearby newsstand to ask about the situation.
The boss also had a sad look on his face, saying that because the last issue of "Science Fiction World" was so popular, he didn't buy enough in advance and made a lot of money. He was originally ambitious to buy a few more books this time, but the bookseller didn't.
There was no movement for a long time.
The boss also said that not only Yu Dong has come to inquire about the magazine recently, but also many other people have come to inquire several times.
But the boss had no goods in hand, so he could only stare blankly. At the same time, he also complained a few times to the "Science Fiction World" magazine, saying that the magazine was delaying their money making.
…
"On purpose, absolutely on purpose!"
After Fang Tao and others went to the bookstore and found nothing, Zhu Fu couldn't help but complain.
Another classmate also echoed: "Yes, it must be intentional. The last issue just came out, and this issue has been delayed for more than ten days. It is obviously to whet our appetite."
"Yes, I finally had a holiday and had full time to read novels, but the magazine has been delayed. If it doesn't come out, we will have to start school again, and then we will have to read novels in secret, which will not be pleasant at all."
"You said the magazine won't change back to a bimonthly publication." Zhu Fu first thought of a possibility and shouted something bad. He quickly looked at Fang Tao, "Brother Tao, what do you think, will this happen?"
Fang Tao shook his head, "Probably not. Even if it is to be a bimonthly publication, it is impossible to change it back after just one issue. It is impossible that the magazine has not made preparations before. Even if it is to test the waters, it will be at least three to five times.
Expected.”
Hearing what Fang Tao said, the others calmed down a little, but they were still confused: "Then why was the ticket bounced this time?"
"How did I know that?" Fang Tao shook his head again irritably. Although he was not as noisy as others, he had not seen "Science Fiction World" in February for a long time, so his mood inevitably became irritable.
"Come back tomorrow, it's still the same time." Fang Tao waved his hand and left first.
The others looked at each other and dispersed.
Until the evening of February 13th, Fang Tao was catching up on homework at home, when his classmate Lin Yuan ran over with excitement on his face.
"Outside, outside, Brother Tao, guess what I saw?"
Fang Tao turned his head and glanced at the "Yangtze Evening News" in Lin Yuan's hand, and turned his head back without interest: "You want to tell me that the "Yangtze Evening News" has expanded from four pages in four to eight pages in four?
Save your energy, this was all last month."
"No, I didn't want to say that." Lin Yuan was stunned, pointing at the newspaper and said, "I want to say that I saw the news about "Science Fiction World" in it."
"So what about the science fiction world..." Fang Tao suddenly reacted, "The science fiction world?!"
He snatched the newspaper from Lin Yuan's hand and rummaged through it: "Where is it? Where is it?"
"At the back of the sports section, the space is not small."
According to what Lin Yuan said, Fang Tao found the relevant news and immediately raised his eyebrows. Lin Yuan was right, it took up a lot of space.
However, the "Yangtze Evening News" has expanded its page since January this year, and there is more space. The newspaper is obviously much more generous in allocating space.
【From "Science Fiction World" to the world's big production! 】
This is the headline of the news, it looks awesome.
Fang Tao was about to read the news when Lin Yuan on the side said: "The news said that the film and television adaptation rights of "One Day" have been bought by a well-known Hollywood director, and filming is about to begin, with a budget of nearly 20 million US dollars. And the author of "One Day" is in
Dong also received a considerable amount of copyright fees. Although the specific figure was not stated, according to people familiar with the matter, it should be the highest copyright adaptation fee in China."
"Really?" Fang Tao said in surprise after hearing what Lin Yuan said.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Really, it's written in the news."
Fang Tao quickly scanned the news content and found the keywords. Lin Yuan was indeed right. The general content of this news was that "One Day" was going to be made into a movie by foreigners.
"This is a great thing."
Fang Tao stood up excitedly and walked around the room holding the newspaper.
Seeing Fang Tao's excited look, Lin Yuan felt that his trip was not in vain. But he thought about the "Science Fiction World" magazine again, and his face suddenly dropped, "This news is exciting, but this issue of "Science Fiction World"
"Science Fiction World" hasn't come out yet."
Fang Tao laughed, "I finally understand why this issue has not been released for so long."
Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "Why?"
"For this." Fang Tao clapped the newspaper in his hand, "Their magazine must know the news, so I guess they want to wait until the news comes out and take advantage of the opportunity to publish this issue, so as to promote the bookstall
Bosses should read more of their magazines."
"Brother Tao, what do you mean, the magazine will be out in the next two days?" Lin Yuan asked.
"Just wait and see if we will get the answer in the next two days."
…
Facts proved that Fang Tao's guess was right.
They bought the new issue of "Science Fiction World" at the bookstall on February 15th, and it was obvious that the boss had purchased much more magazines this time than in previous issues.
"Brother Tao, you are really amazing, you have taken care of all this." Lin Yuan shouted from the side with an adoring look on his face.
Fang Tao smiled and said nothing. He looked at the new issue of "Science Fiction World" that he just bought, and said that it was just as he expected. The cover of this issue directly included the news of "One Day".
"A new book by the author of the original Hollywood blockbuster novel "One Day"" is printed in the middle of the cover. Below are the names of the two works, "The Second World" and "Closed Loop".
"Closed Loop?" Fang Tao raised his eyebrows. This "Closed Loop" should be Yu Dong's new work.
He originally came here for the second part of "The Second World", but he didn't expect to get an unexpected bonus.
However, the magazine's label was too explicit. Even before the movie was produced, it had already labeled "One Day" as the original work of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Of course, Fang Tao doesn't care about these minutiae, he only cares about whether the novel is good or not.
