Half an hour later, Yao Lujun, who had infinite hope, called Wang Zi'an again. The person who didn't want to answer the phone was not Wang Zi'an, but a woman, a woman who claimed to be Wang Bo's agent.

"Hello, Mr. Yao, I am Wang Zi'an's agent Cheng Wenjin. Mr. Wang Zi'an has entrusted me to act on the copyright of all his articles and other external cooperation matters. You called to talk about the serialization of Mr. Wang Zi'an's latest science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth"? That's it. Regarding "The Wandering Earth", Mr. Wang Zi'an's opinion is..." The microphone came from Cheng Wenjin's Mandarin with a steady and steady word.

During the phone call, Cheng Wenjin first briefly explained Wang Bo's opinion on the serialization of "The Wandering Earth", which was to give priority to "Science Fiction World". This made Yao Lujun happy at the time, but the other party's next words made Yao Lujun stunned and completely at a loss. Cheng Wenjin said that in order to protect Mr. Wang's rights, he hoped to retain the copyright of his novels and the right to reprint in other magazines. Cheng Wenjin also told Yao Lujun that he wanted to serialize and publish Mr. Wang's novels at present, and Mr. Wang took the exam.

Considering the previous friendly and smooth cooperation with "Science Fiction World", I hope that his latest novel can be serialized on "Science Fiction World" and continue to maintain this incense. For this reason, Mr. Wang has personally recommended the appointments from many magazines, including the kindness of knowing him and making him a celebrity in the literary world overnight. Although Mr. Zhao, the editor-in-chief of "Mengya", gave him good conditions, including but not limited to asking Mr. Wang to retain the copyright of the assembly and reprinting rights, considering his friendship with your club, he still refused.

Cheng Wenjin's words are neither humble nor arrogant, but soft and hard, and tell the other party in a vague but clear way that Wang Zi'an is no longer a famous Wang Zi'an. If "Science Fiction World" does not agree with Wang Zi'an's conditions, he is willing to accept Wang Zi'an's conditions and his circulation and influence are no less than "Science Fiction World" magazines.

Regarding the copyright of the novel, a young editor of Yao Lujun, of course, could not make the decision. He came happily, but returned in disappointment and told the editorial director Tian Ziyi with a frown. He wanted to ask the other party to make an idea. Before he finished speaking, he saw that Tian Ziyi, who was originally rosy, had a black face and interrupted directly:

"What? Wang Zi'an wants the serialization rights and the copyright of his new work? What a big tone! It's not possible, how can this happen! Who does he think he is?" Tian Ziyi said loudly at Yao Lujun in front of him with a dark face.

"But the director, Wang Zi'a's agent, means that if we don't agree, he will probably be published in other magazines, such as "The Sprout" that made him famous this time." Yao Lujun said in a low voice.

"Send it! Let him cut it! Didn't you say that he is writing a science fiction novella now? I want to see which magazine will let him serialize it in addition to "Science Fiction World"! It's just a newcomer who has published two articles, so he wants to come to talk to the magazine about conditions and wrestling his wrists. Who do he think he is? Mo Yan or Jia Pingwa? Such a person who is more greedy and ungrateful must suppress it! Zhongshan Wolf, a Zhongshan Wolf who is successful and arrogant!" The angry Tian Ziyi continued to whisper loudly.

The angry Tian Ziyi made Yao Lujun a little scared, but to some extent, he could understand. Yao Lujun, who has been a science fiction editor for two years, has come into contact with a large number of authors, including those who come to participate in the Galaxy Awards every year and have made many famous old authors in the science fiction circle. Seeing these editors, they are also well-behaved and polite. They always do whatever the magazine says, and they sign whatever contract they ask for, without any words. Those who dare to make conditions with the magazine are joking.

There may be, but there is no one who wants this or that! Even Wang Jin Kang, the flagship bearer of "Science Fiction World", dared not ask the magazine for any "collected publication rights" and "reprinting rights" that have been deemed to be the magazine's rights by the industry. He is a fledgling boy who has only published two novels in "Science Fiction World", dared to blatantly talk to the magazine about conditions and wrestling his wrists. For Tian Ziyi, he is simply unaware of the world. It is tolerant, but it is unbearable!

However, although he understood Tian Ziyi's anger, for the true science fiction fan Yao Lujun, he didn't care about the collection of copyrights and reprinting rights, what he cared about was whether Wang Zi'an's new work could be published in his own hands. For Wang Zi'an, if he only liked and admired before the New Year, after the New Year, when he reported through news reports, the media magazine learned that the entire editorial department was ecstatic at the end of last year, just like the New Year.

A person who is as happy as a holiday is not a teacher at Sifang Middle School who likes science fiction creation, but is just a seventeen-year-old high school student. This sophomore student not only writes science fiction novels well, but also has a brilliant talent in orthodox literature, making the organizing committee and jury of the "New Concept Composition Competition" with great influence also awarded the special prizes to be leveled, his love and admiration turned into shock and infinite admiration!

After Tian Ziyi's anger calmed down a little, Yao Lujun said: "Director, Wang Zi'an's agent said that the editor-in-chief of "Bengbu" tried his best to want the serialization rights of his new work. For this reason, he should not gather the copyright and reprint rights. The royalties given to him also reached the top of the industry, much higher than us. However, Wang Zi'an, who was still in Shanghai at that time, did not agree, but just said that he needed to consider it. His agent told me today that the reason he did not agree at that time was because he still wanted to publish his new work here."

Yao Lujun's words made Tian Ziyi stunned, but he quickly said with dissatisfaction: "Xiao Yao, do you believe this kind of trick of raising the boss and bargaining others? If Prince Anna wrote an essay like he did in the composition competition this time, the editor-in-chief of "Mengya" gave him such treatment, I believe it, but he wrote a science fiction novel?! "Mengya" magazine has never appeared in science fiction novels, and I don't believe that Zhao Changtian will break the precept this time!"

Yao Lujun pursed his words to Tian Ziyi and thought to himself, let alone science fiction novels, even if he writes trash now, someone will add them and buy them! With his three words "Prince An", among the tens of millions of middle school students, it is a golden signboard! Yao Lujun felt that the old-school literati such as Tian Ziyi was a little covered by unnecessary face, and could not see the new direction of the development of the times. He also thought that all those who contributed to the editorial department should be humble to the magazine and be grateful. Using their articles is the greatest gift to them.

"Director, look, should you tell me about this matter? Two days ago, Editor-in-Chief Alai was asking me about Wang Zi'an's situation and whether there is any new work. When did I call and remind Wang Zi'an, I told him not to write essays well, and I forgot his old boss "Science Fiction World". "Yao Lujun didn't want to continue to hang up with the old literati Tian Ziyi who had no idea how to adapt and could not see the situation clearly, so he brought up Editor-in-Chief Alai. Yao Lujun believed that Editor-in-Chief Alai would definitely not be as short-sighted as Tian Ziyi and only care about immediate interests.

"I must report to the editor-in-chief." Tian Zi said angrily, "Xiao Yao, let's go find the editor-in-chief together, and give Wang Zi'an's arrogant and domineering to the editor-in-chief. I don't believe that the editor-in-chief would use this kind of manuscript that is scattered and unhappy."

The two of them came to the office of the editor-in-chief Alai. Tian Ziyi snatched in front of Yao Lujun and described Wang Zian's arrogant and domineering behavior. After his success, he was arrogant and arrogant, which made Alai shocked.

"Editor-in-chief, that's right. It's not Wang Zi'an himself who raised these conditions to me, but his agent. Otherwise, I'll call Wang Zi'an and confirm his true meaning with him?" Yao Lujun didn't expect Tian Ziyi to ruin Wang Zi'an's image. After Tian Ziyi finished speaking, he quickly interjected.

"What's there to confirm? His agent's meaning is not his? Without his approval, his agent dares to say these things?" Tian Ziyi said with disgust. "I have only published two novels now, and they are short stories, so my tail is soaring and even the agent has been hired. It's really good to learn, but I'll learn bad things! This Wang Zi'an has a good literary talent, but his character is really ugly. Even if I grow up in the future, I think my achievements will be limited!"

Alai didn't say anything, pulled out his pipe, lit one and put it in his mouth. He pondered for a while, looked up at Yao Lujun and said, "Xiao Yao, tell me what Wang Zi'an told you from beginning to end."

"Okay, editor-in-chief." Then, Yao Lujun began to tell Alai from beginning to end what he had contacted Wang Zi'an today. The words Wang Zi'an said, including what his agent said, were repeated to Alai in a very good sentence.

After Yao Lujun finished speaking, Ala waved his hand and asked Yao Lujun to go out first. After Yao Lujun went out, Ala took out a cigarette and threw it to Tian Ziyi. After Tian Ziyi also began to vomit clouds and mist, he slowly said:

"Old Tian, ​​what do you think science fiction literature is in mainstream literature?"

"Is this more important? Grandma doesn't love her, and uncle doesn't love her! The people in traditional literature have always looked down on our science fiction circle." Tian Ziyi said, "Bai Yan said.

"Yes, this is the current situation of science fiction literature in China, and it cannot be entered. You see, in the European and American world, many people may not know Fitzgerald and Raymond, but when it comes to Arthur Clark, Isaac Asimov, everyone knows it. Even in China, people with a little bit of culture know the names of these two. Their novels are the best-selling works of their era. The movies made with their works are also popular and the most classic science fiction movies. The achievements and heights that their works can achieve, regardless of the article.

Neither academic nor ideological is inferior to the best traditional literary writers. However, in terms of audience and communication, it is many times higher than the former. But what about in our country? Novelists are proud to publish novels in "Harvest" and "October", and all aim to win the "Spear Award". Who is so embarrassed to say that they are writing science fiction? The writers in our circle, even the top Wang Jinkang, are just part-time jobs and writing. I call Lao Wang a great writer, and he has to be anxious with me." Alai said while smoking, and then suddenly asked again:

"Old Tian, ​​do you think that Wang Zi'an, with his current fame, is it beneficial to him to be involved in the pure literary circle or to be involved in our science fiction circle?"

"Is this more important? It must be a pure literature path!" Tian Zi said without thinking.

"Yes! Lao Tian, ​​since you and I know this truth, don't he know it? At this time, facing Zhao Changtian's appointment, who brought him to the national stage, he could not say--" Speaking of this, Alai stood up, walked to Tian Ziyi, and patted the other party's shoulder, "This little guy has a conscience!"

"But he was also uneasy-" Tian Ziyi was a little anxious.

Alai waved his hand and interrupted Tian Ziyi's speech, saying, "I know this, it is also his asking price strategy. However, for him now, he still reads the incense of "Science Fiction World". Lao Tian, ​​everything is one time and another. Compared to us, Wang Zi'an two months ago, to put it badly, that is, I am the peddler and the other is fish meat. I can control whatever I want, and give him the amount of royalties as much as I want.

"However, to this day, Wang Meng, the former Minister of Culture, Tielin, Ye Xing and other writers, and the vice-chairmen of the Writers Association, plus the media who are afraid of the world's chaos, and the other party's age when they think of it, it makes people feel terrible and shocking. This Wang Zi'an is no longer something that ordinary people can stop him unless he is a traitor and a seller. The door to the Chinese literary world has been opened to him. In the future, even if he can't write articles that have been passed down through the ages, as long as he writes, it will be hot articles and books are bestsellers.

"So, Lao Tian, ​​when you have time, pay more attention to the various reports of that boy. Now that little guy is no longer a promising literary star, but has become a social and cultural phenomenon. Don't consider the copyright of the assembly, reprinting rights, etc., and give it to him. The royalties are also implemented according to the highest standards in the industry. I only have the right to publish the first release of his new work!
