Chapter 283 Mars is True Fire(2/2)
"I can do that too." Yang Peng nodded.
Jimmy smiled and said, "Sooner or later, there will be a book signing. After this year's Galaxy Awards, the company has begun to systematically promote you guys. But it's best for you to write a few novels, publish a single book, and collect it."
It’s still not as good as a long form for publicity.”
Several authors nodded. Jimmy had told them about this a long time ago, and they were all considering writing a long novel. Hu Changqing and Wang Jingkang, for example, had already started writing it.
"One more thing. In the fall, I am going to organize a meeting for science fiction fans in Jinling. You can go there if you have time. Jinling has a strong science fiction atmosphere now because there is a science fiction association and many college students like science fiction novels.
." Jimmy said again.
Yang Peng and He Hongwei, two young men, agreed at once. Hu Changqing was in Jinling. Of course, they also said that there would be no problem. Only Wang Jingkang might be in trouble. He was in the factory and was very busy at work, so he might not be able to leave. It was not certain yet.
.
In fact, the reason why Jimmy wanted to hold this science fiction fan meeting was to prepare for the construction of a new building in the future.
After the building is completed, it cannot be used only as the company's office. It will inevitably hold some activities. Jimmy has already thought about making space for a science fiction theme pavilion, which can often hold science fiction exhibitions.
Jimmy has always believed that cultural products must form a cultural chain, so that their influence can last forever. Now their company has no shortage of people and works. As long as they operate well, they will definitely be able to produce them.
One thing he is currently doing is to select some suitable works from these authors, adapt them, and then turn them into a series of science fiction sketches. The cost is not high, but as long as you work hard, the effect will definitely come out.
For example, for the movie "Alien Monkey" written by Hu Changqing before, Jimmy has already written the script. The filming won't take too long, so it's no problem to make a 20-30 minute drama version. The works he selected have one characteristic,
The plot is relatively simple and dramatic, preferably with a twist.
When the series is finished, if it can be sold, then sell it. If it doesn't sell, the worst thing is to spend some money to find a TV station to show it. With his current connections in the United States, this matter is not difficult to handle.
"In the future, you will have more and more activities, first domestically, and later possibly abroad."
"Abroad?" He Hongwei's eyes flashed, "Can our works be exported abroad?"
Jimmy curled his lips and said, "Looking at how useless you are, what big deal is it if your work is published abroad? Even if you don't believe in yourself, you still have to believe in me. You have to remember that you are no worse than science fiction authors from any country. The difference is
The reason is that your channels are different. Many American science fiction writers are still living without the nourishment of you. Be bold, and maybe you can win a Nebula Award or a Hugo Award in the future."
"This is really unthinkable." He Hongwei lamented, "Brother Dong's "Second World" was not even nominated."
"Don't worry, there will be some. If we don't give it for a few years, they won't be able to continue with this award."
Jimmy's words made He Hongwei and the others a little unbelievable. It seemed that in Jimmy's eyes, the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award were nothing at all.
Of course, considering the achievements and reputation of "Second World", Jimmy's words are not considered to be bitter.
