1980 My literary era

Accustomed to the Spring Festival without the New Year atmosphere in later generations, Lin Weimin has a unique fascination with the Spring Festival of this era.

With a car, the most convenient thing is to visit homes for New Year greetings.

He spent almost the first and second days of the new year paying New Year greetings. He went back to Tuanjie Lake Apartment in the evening and took advantage of ample time to concentrate on writing.

In the third grade of junior high school, I started to work again.

The colleagues in the editorial department have obviously not recovered from the feeling of the New Year, and they are still in the same lazy state.

The most talked about topic in the office was undoubtedly the Spring Festival Gala that just passed, which really caused a lot of criticism across the country.

CCTV received letters from viewers in sacks and received phone calls mercilessly. There was only one voice in all the messages, and they were all criticism.

Therefore, during the news broadcast on the tenth day of the first lunar month, CCTV had to apologize to viewers across the country and express its sincere acceptance of the criticism from the audience.

In future generations, do you dare to think that CCTV will apologize to the people?

This news hot spot immediately became the hottest topic in all units at work the next day.

After the Lantern Festival, Lin Weimin went to CCTV.

Tang Peilin is still writing the first draft of the script for "The Wind". Lin Weimin came today mainly to talk to Ren Hao about the heroine.

"Gu Xiaomeng? Do you have an actor you would like to recommend?"

"My girlfriend, she is relatively young, so she should be suitable to play Gu Xiaomeng."

Ren Hao couldn't help but complain after hearing this, you are the original author, it's not your job to say who is suitable?

"It's definitely okay for you to speak, but..."

Ren Hao's expression was a bit hesitant.

"But what?" Lin Weimin asked.

Ren Hao thought to himself, what else can be done? You guys, a bunch of literati, are really having a great time.

In the past, I wanted all the domestic flowers and wild flowers, but now I am even more ruthless, and I dare to put the domestic flowers and wild flowers in a bottle.

Cruel person!

Teacher Lin is absolutely ruthless!

Ren Hao admired Lin Weimin in his heart, but also felt helpless. He was really afraid that Teacher Lin would screw up and delay his play.

But who makes people smart?

With his mind spinning, Ren Hao said with a smile: "It's nothing. Since she is your girlfriend, Teacher Lin, playing a heroine is definitely not a problem."

In "The Wind", the roles of the two female characters "Li Ningyu" and "Gu Xiaomeng" are equally matched, but to be honest, "Li Ningyu"'s role is more dramatic and the characters are more full and vivid.

Teacher Lin's girlfriend Ren Hao also knew that she had appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala before, was a Shaoxing opera actor, and had also acted in movies. He has little confidence in the other party's acting skills, so it would be difficult to play Gu Xiaomeng.

Fortunately, it was not the role of Li Ningyu that he thought of Zhu Lin's acting skills...

Ren Hao sighed in his heart, who knew how difficult it would be for me to be a director!

After deciding on the role, Lin Weimin called Tao Huimin.

When Tao Huimin learned that her boyfriend's novel was going to be adapted into a TV series and that she had been given a role specifically for herself, Tao Huimin felt sweet and a little embarrassed at the same time.

This should be considered a back door, right?

But when I think about it, if I really go to Yanjing to film, I can legitimately stay with my boyfriend.

There was an uncontrollable impulse in her heart.

She is going to Yanjing!

After struggling for several seconds, Tao Huimin decisively agreed to the matter.

Lin Weimin directly handed over the next matter to Ren Hao, and asked the TV drama production center to directly connect with the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe.

When "The Wind" starts filming, his little girlfriend can come to Yanjing to reunite with him.

A few days later, Lin Weimin was at work. He flipped through the latest issue of "Zhongshan" and found that his editor-in-chief at "Zhongshan", Yu Zhaohuai, had actually become the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department. Lin Weimin immediately called Yu Zhaohuai. Congratulations.

While I was on the phone, a strange man knocked on the office door.

Lin Weimin motioned to him to wait for a moment, and after finishing the call, he asked, "What do you want?"

"Editor Lin?"

"It's me, you are..."

"I, Cheng Jiangong."

Lin Weimin was slightly surprised. The two had only communicated through letters before and had never met in person. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiangong actually came to the Chinese Literature Society this time.

After exchanging a few words, Cheng Jiangong explained his intention.

Since the last time they communicated, he has been in contact with Pan Yaoming in Xiangjiang.

After several correspondences, the portfolio matter has been finalized. Then Pan Yaoming came up with a new idea, saying that he hoped to invite writers like Lin Weimin to visit Xiangjiang.

"This collection of works will not only be published in Bay Island, but also Sanlian Bookstore is preparing to distribute it in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Inviting all of us there is also a way to build momentum."

When Cheng Jiangong said this, he added: "I specifically communicated this matter with the comrades in charge of external relations of the Cultural Association, and they were very supportive. After all, it is also a kind of external propaganda for us! The Cultural Association took this matter The relevant departments have been notified and they are very supportive of this event.”

When Lin Weimin heard the words "relevant departments", he immediately thought of what happened last year. Whatever he did, he could be regarded as a favor. It seemed that he had to go to Xiangjiang this time.

Cheng Jiangong added: "I just went to Mo Yan's school before I came to you, and I have already communicated with him. Several comrades from other places were contacted by the Literary and Art Association. Several writer friends in Yanjing are I volunteered to come to visit. Especially you, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and this time it can be regarded as a pretense for personal gain, haha! "

After saying a few words, Lin Weimin asked: "Is the comrade from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles you just mentioned Zhang Qi?"

Cheng Jiangong was surprised and said: "Do you know each other?"

Just after asking this question, he suddenly said: "By the way, it seems that Zhang Qi contacted you about your donation last year."

Lin Weimin nodded and said, "That's right."

"He is now in Xiangjiang, raising money for the foundation."

Lin Weimin frowned and said, "It's not done yet?"

"His point of view is quite pessimistic. Those businessmen in Xiangjiang will not be able to do anything early without profit."

It seems that the preparation of this foundation is more difficult than he thought!

The two chatted for a while. Lin Weimin looked at his watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

He said hello to Tan Chaoyang, and then said to Cheng Jiangong: "Let's go, I'll take you to Tiesheng, and have a meal at their house in the evening!"

He took Cheng Jiangong downstairs and came to the crown.

Cheng Jiangong joked: "I have known for a long time that you are the richest among our writers, but I didn't expect that you can even drive a car now."

"Move on behalf of others, transport on behalf of others!"

After getting in the car, Cheng Jiangong sighed: "My eyes were opened last year when I visited a foreign country. Private cars are a rarity in our country, but in the United States, everyone knows how to drive and every family has a car. It's really worthy of the name." A country on wheels!"

In the 1980s, when his horizons were just opening up, it was normal for Cheng Jiangong to have such feelings.

"The United States is a vast country with a sparse population, and it is a capitalist country. The construction of infrastructure and public transportation is a matter of heavy investment, long cycle, and slow results. It is impossible for them to spend too much energy on it. Therefore, cars This private mode of travel becomes the best option.”

Lin Weimin's novel ideas surprised Cheng Jiangong. He thought about it carefully, "Don't say it, what you said really makes sense!"

The two chatted all the way to the vicinity of Yonghe Temple.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Lin Weimin took Cheng Jiangong into the yard.

"Tiesheng! Tiesheng!"

Shi Tiesheng appeared at the door in a wheelchair. Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I brought you a new friend today! This is Cheng Jiangong!"

The two exchanged greetings and shook hands.

After chatting for a while, Cheng Jiangong explained the purpose of his visit. Shi Tiesheng looked surprised when he heard that he was actually invited to visit Xiangjiang.

He has been to symposiums, seminars, and pen conferences, and this is his first visit.

He looked a little hesitant and said: "My situation is not very convenient..."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "It's okay. When you go out for a visit, you will be much more considerate than when you go to attend a symposium or a pen meeting. The most important thing..."

Lin Weimin suddenly lowered his head and said to Shi Tiesheng, "There will be a subsidy when you go out. You can get an imported wheelchair once you come back."

Hearing what Lin Weimin said, Shi Tiesheng's eyes lit up.

Writers are human beings and have to live.

Shi Tiesheng has paid off his family's foreign debts through writing in the past few years, but he is not well off.

He is not Lin Weimin's kind of player who writes with dexterity and writes with dexterity. Throughout the year, he writes at most three or four works, mostly short stories, and his royalties are limited.

I want to change to a better imported wheelchair, but I have always been reluctant to do so.

After Lin Weimin finished speaking, he patted Shi Tiesheng on the shoulder and said, "There is nothing wrong with going out to see the colorful world of capitalism."

Shi Tiesheng nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go!"

Cheng Jiangong smiled and said: "Great, my mission is completed!"

Counting Shi Tiesheng, Cheng Jiangong contacted a total of four people, Mo Yan, Lin Weimin, Shi Tiesheng, Liu Xinwu, plus himself, which was exactly half the number.

Cheng Jiangong also talked about the specific arrangements for this visit, which is initially scheduled for the second half of this month.

Shi Tiesheng said with a smile: "I have never flown on a plane in my life, so this time it can be considered an experience!"

There were guests at home, and Father Shi prepared a table of good food.

Hearing that Shi Tiesheng was going on a long journey, his expression was a little worried. Lin Weimin said: "Uncle, I will go there this time, don't worry."

Father Shi nodded. With Lin Weimin here, he felt relieved.

Shi Lan held it in for a long time and said, "Brother, don't forget to buy me a gift when the time comes!"

"I know." Shi Tiesheng responded helplessly.

After dinner, Lin Weimin, Cheng Jiangong and Shi Tiesheng chatted until very late. The topic was inseparable from literature, philosophy and history. It was not until Shi Tiesheng looked tired that they stood up and left.

The next day, Lin Weimin found Meng Weizai and talked about his visit to Xiangjiang.

"Lao Tan mentioned it to me yesterday. Just arrange your work here. Anyway, Lao Tan and I are here." Meng Weizai said.

After talking to Meng Weizai, Lin Weimin was about to return to the office when he saw Liu Yin standing in front of the editorial department and waving to him.

As soon as Lin Weimin entered the office, he was surrounded by his colleagues, "What are you doing?"

"I heard that you are going to Xiangjiang?" Liu Yin asked for everyone.

You don't need to ask to know who this news came from.

Comrade Lao Qin - a newsboy walking on Chaonei Street, a loudspeaker from the Chinese Literature Society.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Yin said: "I heard that things are cheaper in Xiangjiang, especially electrical appliances."

"It's okay, no matter how cheap it is, it's still the price in Xiangjiang! What's wrong? Do you want to buy it?"

These days, not to mention things from abroad or from the other side of the Taiwan Strait, even products from other places are new to most people.

It’s not easy to go out. Who wouldn’t want to bring something new and useful to their family? What's more, going to Xiangjiang?

Therefore, Lin Weimin got his first mission in Xiangjiang - purchasing local specialties.
