1980 My literary era

The Zhuozhou Conference was published very quickly. The day after Jiang Zilong called, the People's Daily published a relevant press release.

Lin Weimin's "Burning" and another film "Show Your Tongue or It's Empty" were mentioned as positive and negative examples respectively.

He looks like he has a toothache. These two novels were both published in "People's Literature". How do you keep your mouth shut when you criticize them?

In addition to the newsletter recording the meeting, there were also relevant commentaries and even reviews written by "People's Literature" were published in "People's Daily".

"People's Literature" and Teacher Liu are really miserable!

Compared with Teacher Liu's misfortune, Teacher Lin was not much better. He was not criticized by name. On the contrary, he was praised.

But this kind of praise is the most annoying. He was unhappy with those who worship foreigners and are bent on Westernization, so he wrote "Burning". He didn't write a novel just to be used as a weapon to criticize others.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what he thinks, he was praised anyway.

Then he ran away halfway, and the leader was unhappy with him.

Because of the leader's praise, the cultural circles scolded him louder!

To sum up, it’s hard to please both ends!

Of course Lin Weimin never thought about pleasing anyone, but this feeling made people very uncomfortable.

I haven't done anything. I sit at home and the pot comes from the sky.

No, you can’t say you didn’t do anything. After all, you ran away, right?

The blame lies with Lao Cheng, this cowardly rat!

After scolding Cheng Wanchun in his mind, Lin Weimin gained a lot of ideas.

The winds blowing at the Zhuozhou Conference can be regarded as a continuation of the unexplained turmoil last year. As a key area of ​​ideological control, it is normal for the cultural world to be stirred up by some storms.

Lin Weimin was unable to change the general trend and had no intention of changing it. He could only do his own job well.

The censorship of "People's Literature" made the society a little nervous, and it also intensified the censorship of various publications, including "Contemporary".

"The wind is blowing very hard during this period, so don't give me any trouble, kid!" Cheng Wuchun warned.

Lin Weimin nodded helplessly, "I understand. Don't make me look like a troublemaker. I am in the praised group this time."

"It's just knowing that you were praised that made me even more worried. What kind of virtues do you have that I don't know about? You will definitely not be happy. If you reveal something that goes against your will and commit a crime, I won't be able to do well later."

Lin Weimin was depressed. He had always been aware of current affairs. When did he leave such a strong impression on his leaders?

It seems that not only "People's Literature" needs to write an inspection, Teacher Lin also needs to reflect on himself!

"I know, I know!"

Annoyed by Cheng Wuchun's reading, Lin Weimin left his office with a few perfunctory words.

While complaining about Lao Cheng in his heart, he prepared to go back to the back building.

Unexpectedly, I saw a familiar figure after taking only two steps.

Lin Weimin was like a mouse meeting a cat, and darted back to Cheng Wuchun's office.

"Why are you back again?" Cheng Wanchun asked angrily.

Lin Weimin made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said: "Stop talking, old cow!"

Cheng Wuchun smiled, and there was no way he could hide his gloating expression.

"Dang Dang Dang!" There was a knock on the door.

"Lin Weimin, stop hiding, I'm watching you! Open the door for me!"

Comrade Lao Niu's loud voice sounded outside the door.

well!

Lin Weimin sighed helplessly and turned to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the expression on his face switched seamlessly, and he was full of smiles.

"Ouch! Isn't this my Uncle Niu? Why do you always come back?"

Before Niu Han could reply, Cheng Zaochun said, "I asked Lao Niu to come back."

Lin Weimin turned around and glared at Cheng Wanchun, "Old Cheng, how dare you betray your teammates?"

"It's not peaceful recently at the Literary and Art Association." Cheng Wanchun said again.

All joking aside, Lin Weimin understood Cheng Wuchun.

He said to Niu Han with a flattering look: "Good to come back, good to come back, everyone misses you!"

Niu Han snorted: "Others may miss me, but you kid, are you wishing I didn't come back?"

"Look at what you said, how can you! Then who have I become? I told the leader during the meeting two days ago that when Uncle Niu comes back one day, I must treat you to a meal.

You go out to work for our Chinese Literature Society and go to the Literature Association to be criticized. That is a great reward for your hard work! "

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Lin Weimin's shameless flattery made Comrade Lao Niu feel a lot better, "You still have a conscience!"

Lin Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, "What about that? You talk to the leader first. I'll call you when you get off work soon. I'll invite you to Donglaishun tonight!"

After leaving the door, Lin Weimin patted his chest, what a danger!

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Lin Weimin took the initiative and ran to the office of "New Literature Historical Materials" to call Niu Han and then Cheng Wuchun.

After getting into Lin Weimin's car, Niu Han cursed: "I saw this car when I came in the morning. There is no one in our Chinese Literature Society who is more jealous than you!"

"I did it word by word. Is it easy for me?" Lin Weimin exclaimed.

Niu Han sneered at Lin Weimin's remarks, "Isn't it easy for you? There are no easy people in China!"

When they arrived at Donglaishun, the four of them sat down and ordered the meat. Lin Weimin did not forget to call Comrade Lao Tan.

Lao Tan and Lao Niu are both overage editors, and they have a lot of chats when they get together.

While the food was not being served, everyone chatted, and Lao Niu Shao couldn't help but talk about his experience at the Cultural Association.

Comrade Lao Niu has always been strong and straight in his life. He was like this in the company, and it was also like this when he went to "China".

If you think you are right, just stick to it, no one can do it. For this reason, you often have conflicts with the leaders of the Association for Literary and Art Circles and "China".

Of course, his character has a headstrong side. Many people will dislike him, but few will doubt his character and integrity.

Except for those cunning people, Lin Weimin believed that most people were willing to deal with such people.

After returning from "China" this time, Niu Han is still working at "New Literature Historical Materials", but he will not come to the company to work as often as he wants.

He is old and lacks energy. Although he still has a hot temper, he has to admit that his work efficiency is no longer as good as that of young people.

He sighed: "I really envy you young people!"

"What you said is not accurate. How can it be 'some'? I am the only young man at this table!"

These words aroused unanimous condemnation from several old comrades present, well, including Cheng Wuchun.

We had a great time laughing and joking over the meal. Although there was a big age difference, we had similar temperaments and temperaments, and we all got along very harmoniously without any burden.

Two days later, the effects of the storm were still continuing, and various arguments appeared in newspapers one after another, which is difficult to see in newspapers of later generations.

Teacher Liu was getting worse and worse. Not only did he have to write an inspection, he was also suspended from his job, and even appeared on the "Xinwen Network" because of it.

Well, it's not the kind of "shang" that is a good thing. He is the first literary person whose news of being dismissed as the editor-in-chief of a magazine actually appeared on CCTV's "Xinwen Lianbo".

The same group of people scolded Teacher Liu and praised Teacher Lin, and the same group of people praised Teacher Liu and scolded Teacher Lin.

It was such a coincidence that the fates of Teacher Lin and Teacher Liu formed a deep bond in this way.

The only thing Lin Weimin is luckier than Mr. Liu is that his criticism does not involve the official level, so it is tantamount to scratching the surface.

By the way, there is another benefit.

That is the fact that the reputation of the novel "Burning" is getting more and more famous. Originally, the Chinese Publishing House planned to publish a single volume of "Burning" in March. The novel was published in September last year, and it took exactly half a year until March.

The subscription work started in February. In just twenty days, the number of subscriptions exceeded one million copies, and the first printing of one million copies directly broke the first printing record of domestic novel publishing.

This is just the first printing. As long as the release of "Burning" goes smoothly, it is not a problem to double or triple the sales.

Such numbers, except for Lin Weimin, can only be achieved by those classics.

It was late February, and when it was almost noon, Lin Weimin was preparing to go to the cafeteria to eat when the phone in the office suddenly rang.

"For the people! Come here quickly, come here quickly!"

On the phone, Teng Jinxian's voice was urgent. If he hadn't been so angry, Lin Weimin would have thought he was having a heart attack.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Lin Weimin drove all the way to the film office.

When I entered Teng Jinxian's office, I saw him standing in the office and pacing back and forth.

Seeing Lin Weimin's arrival, Teng Jinxian walked quickly towards him, laughed and held Lin Weimin's hand.

"I won a prize! I won a prize!"

"What won the award?" Lin Weimin had a vague guess in his mind.

""Red Sorghum", "Red Sorghum" won the Berlin Film Festival's highest honor, the Golden Bear!"

Over fifty years old, Teng Jinxian, who had always been calm and majestic, was now like a young boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, shouting excitedly, his face turning red due to his high emotions.

Lin Weimin also smiled at this time, "Okay! It's not easy to win the Golden Bear Award!"

Teng Jinxian said loudly: "Not only is it not easy, this is creating the history of Chinese movies!"

He is right. "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, making it the first time in the history of a Chinese film to win the top prize at the three major European film festivals.

Whether you want to admit it or not, for the world film industry in this era, the three major European and American Oscars do represent the highest honor in the film industry.

To be able to win such an award on the territory of foreigners is a great honor for the country no matter what.

Teng Jinxian was excited for several minutes before finally calming down.

"Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear last night. Yesterday, the Berlin Film Festival finally came to an end after two weeks of screenings and the awards ceremony was held.

"When will Yimou and the others come back?"

"They said they would be interviewed by several media outlets this morning, board a flight in the afternoon, and would not be able to return to China until tomorrow."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Will there be a welcome ceremony then?"

Speaking of this matter, Teng Jinxian also laughed, "Do you still need to tell me? I have already sent the news to the major newspapers in Yanjing. Just wait and see. The Capital Airport the day after tomorrow will be full of reporters."

Teng Jinxian was right. In the afternoon of the next day, when Lin Weimin and others went to the airport to pick him up, the entrance to the Capital Airport was surrounded by reporters.

It's a bit like the young ladies of later generations will take over geigei, but it's a pity that geigei's face has a little more wrinkles.

It was around five o'clock in the evening, it was getting dark early, and the Capital Airport was brightly lit. The reporters looked at the entrance of the passage like hungry beasts, their eyes glowing green.

Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and Han Zhuangzhuang, who had just gotten off the plane, were still shocked by the scene even though they had been notified in advance.
