Chapter 565 Copyright Gives You
After looking at it for a few times, Qin Muyun let out a surprise and asked Xiao Zhao who was on the opposite side.

"I won't talk about the poor quality. The number of submissions you submitted is not correct. We have submitted 10 papers this time. Why did you only submit 4 papers?"

Xiao Zhao adjusted his glasses and explained with a little embarrassment.

"Editor-in-Chief, although we have received a lot of manuscripts for this essay competition, the quality...is really poor. Most of the essays are not science fiction, and a large number of essays are simply elementary school students' essays. The eight of us are really shit. I'm panning for gold here, I didn't sleep last night, look at my eyes..."

Qin Muyun sighed and nodded.

"I also know the situation you mentioned. Domestic science fiction is declining day by day, with fewer people reading it and fewer people writing it, but this cannot be entirely blamed on the environment. As the backbone of science fiction, we should also be the culprit for this situation. The culprit. Like...huh?"

While talking, Qin Muyun saw "Country Teacher".

"Huh? The quality of this one is pretty good..."

Xiao Zhao just smiled and didn't make a sound to disturb.

After Qin Muyun had finished reading, he introduced it with a smile.

"Chief editor, is this okay?"

"Okay! It's really good! No more, no more, just this one is enough! This time the Tianma Award must belong to him!"

Qin Muyun smiled excitedly, but suddenly heard Xiao Zhao talking awkwardly beside him.

"Editor-in-Chief, the author of this book...is a bit unusual."

"?"

"His name is Ling Yun..."

"Ling Yun?"

"Yes, it is... the legendary Ling Yun."

Who knew that upon hearing this name, Qin Muyun was even more overjoyed, and slammed the table hard.

"That's great, I'm so sleepy, I'm here to send you a pillow, now the wages owed to you for half a year are settled!!!"

"what?"

Xiao Zhao groaned, only to see that Qin Muyun had already left outside.

According to the telephone number submitted, Qin Muyun quickly made an appointment with Ling Yun, and the two met in a cafe in the afternoon.

Of course, the main purpose of making an appointment here is... cheap.

Two cups of coffee worth 20 yuan are enough for him to treat Ling Yun very respectably and chat for an afternoon.

"Mr. Ling, I have read your "Country Teacher". It is very well written. We have decided that this time, we will apply for your book for the Tianma Awards."

"Oh? I remember... the editor seems to say that my writing is not very good, so let me continue to work hard."

"Oh cough...hehe, I've figured this out. At that time...the editor gave a wrong reply. Yes, the reply was wrong. You know, we have too many manuscripts this time, so the editor will inevitably make some mistakes in his work."

Qin Muyun replied in embarrassment, then rubbed his hands and continued.

"I came to you this time to talk about the copyright of your book. You know, according to our previous rules, all the novels participating in the evaluation may be published. This... your book... seems to be It was published in Wenyue, so this copyright..."

"Oh, it's okay, I opened Wenyue, and I have the final say."

One sentence almost choked Qin Muyun to death, but Ling Yun added another sentence.

"There is no problem with the copyright. If Editor-in-chief Qin needs it... I can also give it to you."

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course, your cousin Qin Yue has a good relationship with me, so it's just the copyright of a novel, I'll give it to you."

When Qin Yue was mentioned, Qin Muyun was a little embarrassed. He was a scholar, so he was quite resistant to this kind of worldly experience.

But Ling Yun...

This seems to be no surprise, and it is a matter of course.

"By the way, Editor-in-Chief Qin, from your point of view, if "Country Teacher" were to participate in the Galaxy Awards, do you think it would be interesting?"

"Huh? Participating in the Galaxy Awards?"

[The setting of the novel, the highest domestic sci-fi is the Tianma Award, and the highest international sci-fi is the Galaxy Award, please do not compare with reality]

Hearing that Ling Yun was going to participate in the Galaxy Awards, Qin Muyun lamented.

"Mr. Ling, to be honest, when it comes to science fiction, there is still a lot of difference between our domestic and international standards. Of course, this has something to do with the country's national conditions. Children in our country only start to learn about physics in junior high school. , geography, among the people I contacted, very few wrote, and among the writers, very few wrote science fiction, and most of them were imagined by themselves, without the support of a serious scientific theory. , so the things most people write can only be called fantasy at best, not science fiction.

As far as the article you wrote this time, "Country Teacher", I think it is quite interesting, it should be similar based on the Tianma Award, but if it is the Yinhe Award..."

Qin Muyun shook his head awkwardly.

"That's enough..."

Ling Yun seemed to have been prepared, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I think so, so I prepared another one. By the way, the original manuscript has been sent to your mailbox. Please take a look and recommend it to the selection committee of the International Science Fiction Galaxy Awards. I remember only you The magazine has the qualifications to recommend it."

Qin Muyun's face was a little embarrassed. In his opinion, Ling Yun was completely exchanging benefits. He gave him the copyright of "Country Teacher", but he needed to let him push another book of his to participate in the Galaxy Award selection...

The point is that he is rather dull. If the book is not good, he will never report it.

Therefore, this exchange became a problem for him.

Seeming to see through his thoughts, Ling Yun added with a smile.

"Hehe, when the time comes, you can help me check it out. If you feel that you are not qualified for the selection, then forget about it."

As he spoke, he patted this "Country Teacher" again.

"I heard from your cousin that the life of the magazine is not easy, so I will give you the copyright of this book. If it wins the Tianma Award at that time, I will ask someone to help you promote it. It should be a good seller. With it This money should be able to improve the status quo of your magazine, and then you will be able to do more work for the cause of national science fiction literature."

……

Having obtained the copyright of "Country Teacher", Qin Muyun immediately sent this book to be selected for the Tianma Award.

Sure enough, as he expected, a week later, the official announced the winners of the Tianma Awards.

Of course, being selected for the Tianma Award is due to his personal recommendation, after all, he is also one of the judges of the National Tianma Award.

At this moment, the dilapidated office of the magazine.

Qin Muyun smiled and said to everyone.

"Comrades, I have already communicated with Mr. Ling. Mr. Ling has given us the copyright of the physical book "Country Teacher" for free. Now that "Country Teacher" has won the Tianma Award, if the novel becomes a big hit, we will There is a way out for the magazine..."

"That's great, we haven't been paid for more than half a year."

"Yeah, I'm not afraid of embarrassment if I say it, I'm still working part-time on Didi after get off work..."

……

Under everyone's happy eyes, no one expected that the publication of "Country Teacher" would not go well.
