1980 My literary era

The Taofen Publishing Award Ceremony on September 9 is considered a grand event in the domestic publishing industry. Lin Weimin followed the big boss and got to know many colleagues.

Of course, apart from the few winners today, he is also the focus of everyone's attention.

The head of the Ministry of Rites specially came to chat with him for a while, which was enough to show how much attention the higher-ups now attach to him.

This year alone, everyone has seen news of Lin Weimin winning many awards on TV and newspapers, and it is normal for leaders to value him.

After the award ceremony, normal work resumed.

The only difference in the club is that Wang Yangchen won the Taofen Publishing Award. Teacher Wang is even more motivated and can be called a dedicated model worker. Lin Weimin even felt embarrassed when he saw it.

It would be better not to win this award.

That's how honest people are, they usually work hard without complaining.

If you give me any more rewards, you're going to die.

"You should learn from others!" Teacher Lin occasionally used the CPU to play Comrade Lao Qin.

It's a pity that Comrade Lao Qin was lying so flat that he didn't even bother to turn over.

Next week, he will say goodbye to his position as the editorial director of "Contemporary" completely. Even if an earthquake comes at this time, he will not take action. At most, he will scratch his face and swish the flies.

Lin Weimin had no intention of being a fly and continued: "We will organize everyone to see you off next week..."

Before he finished speaking, Comrade Lao Qin turned around and said, "Bah, bah, bah! What's not a farewell? That's a farewell!"

"Is there a difference?"

"The difference is huge!"

Comrade Lao Qin said seriously: "Sending off has too many connotations and negative connotations. There is no such taboo in saying goodbye."

"I'm not saying that. I have been a revolutionary all my life, and I am becoming more and more superstitious as I age!"

"Fart! Is this called superstition? Is this called superstition?"

"Then what's this called?"

"This...this is called accurate wording!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "Well, well, don't be a nitpicker like me. Is it okay to play the old role of Bai Kui? We all agreed last time!"

Comrade Lao Qin touched his chin and said, "It's a bit embarrassing!"

Lin Weimin looked at him speechlessly, "Then tell me, which one to choose?"

"How about... Donglaishun!" Comrade Lao Qin said after pondering for a long time.

"They are all mutton, is there any difference?" Lin Weimin was helpless.

"Why is there no difference? One is roasted and the other is boiled. As I get older, roasted mutton is difficult to digest, but boiled mutton is the most comfortable to eat."

The expression on Comrade Lao Qin's face was to the effect: You don't think about Comrade Lao Qin's health at all!

"Okay, then it's settled!"

After getting rid of Comrade Lao Qin, who was always causing trouble, Lin Weimin informed his colleagues in the editorial department of the news, and everyone cheered.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but sigh, "Tell me, tell me, how unpopular this old man is!"

"Can't you wait until I leave before you say bad things about me?" Tan Chaoyang stood at the door and caught Lin Weimin in action.

"Hey, if I were to say bad things about you behind your back, how mean would that be? We can't do it. If you want to say it, say it to your face!"

The office burst into laughter, and Comrade Lao Qin lamented: "They say people leave and the tea cools down, but I haven't even left yet, and all the tea has been taken away from me."

"Old comrades should stop saying so many weird things and think more about how to contribute more to young people!"

The two of them exchanged words with each other, and the atmosphere in the office was extremely joyful.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, a middle-aged woman knocked on the door of the editorial department.

The visitor's name is Ye Yongmei, an editor of the Central People's Broadcasting Station. This time, he approached the Chinese Literature Society in the hope of contacting Lu Yao through the Chinese Literature Society. The Central People's Broadcasting Station planned to broadcast Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" in the "Long Continuous Broadcast" program.

Lin Weimin met Ye Yongmei. Starting from "Cliff", several of his works have been broadcast on radio stations, including the Central People's Radio.

Lin Weimin listened to Ye Yongmei's words and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came back this time. Lu Yao is currently recuperating in Yanjing, and the third part of "The Ordinary World" has just been written and is being revised."

Ye Yongmei was very happy to hear this. Such a situation is naturally beneficial to her work.

After getting off work, Lin Weimin took Ye Yongmei to the courtyard in Gongjian Hutong.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw Lin Dan busy cooking in the kitchen and the children playing in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, where is Lu Yao?" Lin Weimin asked.

When Lin Dan saw someone following Lin Weimin, he knew that he must have business with Lu Yao.

"Weimin, please wait a moment. I'll call Lu Yao. He has gone for a walk in Beihai."

Lin Dan said and went out, and brought Lu Yao back with a slight breath more than ten minutes later.

After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Lu Yao's complexion was obviously much better than before. After introducing Ye Yongmei to him, Lin Weimin became concerned about his physical condition again.

"It couldn't be better. I feel like I'm fine!" Lu Yao said happily. It seems that the recovery of his body has indeed greatly affected his mood.

"Don't worry. Don't worry about liver disease. The most important thing is to take good care of yourself. How long have you been here now? What did the doctor say when you went to the hospital last time?"

Lin Dan said: "The situation has improved, but you still have to continue taking medicine, and you have to pay attention to your work, rest and diet as before."

Lin Weimin said: "Look, you have to listen to the doctor."

Lu Yao nodded helplessly. He had never been so controlled by a teacher when he was a primary school student.

After talking about his condition, Lin Weimin asked Ye Yongmei to explain his purpose.

Lu Yao seemed extremely happy when he heard that his "Ordinary World" was going to be broadcast.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station plans to organize the recording of "The Ordinary World", which means that "The Ordinary World" will fly to thousands of households on the wings of broadcasting.

His work "Life" has been broadcast on radio before, but "Life" and "The Ordinary World" received different reputations after their release.

Compared with "Life", "The Ordinary World" is like an ugly duckling that has been disliked by various people since birth. Lu Yao, the person who gave birth to him, naturally prefers it.

At this time, compared to television and movies, radio is the most common form of entertainment for ordinary people, especially in rural areas, where a village may not even have a TV. However, through radio, ordinary people can receive many carefully produced programs by People's Broadcasting Station.

The radio station initially planned to produce the first and second parts of "The Ordinary World", but after hearing that the third part had been written, Ye Yongmei asked if the three parts could be produced together.

To do this, the premise is that the third part can be finalized.

At this stage, Lu Yao is still recovering from illness and can only work two hours a day. He has only completed less than one-third of the manuscript revision work for the third part.

"I think it's better not to rush into this matter. Now that the third part has been drafted, it's just a matter of waiting a few more months. Your radio station can make the first part first to test the waters."

To be on the safe side, Lin Weimin suggested this.

Lu Yao was very helpless. He used to be locked up in a dark room, but now he was watching over him to recuperate. When will he be able to regain his freedom?

Seeing that Lu Yao also agreed to Lin Weimin's suggestion, Ye Yongmei nodded and said, "That's okay."

Lu Yao asked with concern again: "Who are you going to find as the announcer?"

Since the 1950s, novel broadcasting has been one of the popular entertainment activities for ordinary people. The effect of broadcasting many popular works is not inferior to the impact of novels and movies.

As one of the souls of novel broadcasting, the broadcaster is also one of the focuses of many people's attention, just like movie stars.

"We plan to use Li Yemo."

Lu Yao knew Li Yemo. He had previously broadcast "Rising Star" by He Yunlu, and he was also a rising star in the domestic broadcasting industry.

Then, Ye Yongmei discussed the issue of royalties with Lu Yao.

The fees for broadcasting novels have always been low, and sometimes writers even give broadcasting rights to radio stations for free, without taking any penny.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station has ample funds and gave Lu Yao 300 yuan for each novel, totaling 900 yuan in royalties for the three novels.

It doesn't look like much, not as good as a fraction of a novel published or published, but it is good news for the current Lu Yao.

He has never saved money. This time he came to Yanjing to see a doctor and recuperate. Although Lin Weimin helped a lot, a family of three always needs some expenses, and medical treatment is expensive.

"This royalties are just enough to save the day, otherwise I would have to advance the royalties from you."

After sending Ye Yongmei away, Lu Yao said to Lin Weimin.

"If necessary, I'll tell the accountant." Lin Weimin said.

Lu Yao shook his hand, "It's okay. With this money, I can hold on for a while. If I really run out of money, I will definitely tell you."

Another week passed, and colleagues from the editorial department of "Contemporary" gathered together and came to Donglaishun.

In order to bid farewell to Comrade Lao Qin, everyone did not even have lunch.

I have to say, this kind of emotion is touching.

The next day, the Chinese Literature Society issued an announcement that Lin Weimin officially took over as the editorial director of "Contemporary" and concurrently served as the editor-in-chief of the "Contemporary" editorial department.

Colleagues burst into congratulations. For such a result, everyone was not surprised at all and had expected it.

Whether it is reputation, work performance or relationship with the leaders of the company, Lin Weimin is a natural candidate for the director.

From Meng Weizai to Qin Chaoyang, and then to Lin Weimin.

The development of "Contemporary" has not experienced any fluctuations due to personnel changes. The ninth issue of the magazine, newly launched in September, has sold more than 1.2 million copies in just 20 days. It seems that it is expected to reach the 2 million volume threshold. .

In the past two years, this kind of sales volume of "Contemporary" has happened from time to time.

The previous issue included Tong Zhonggui's "Wives and Concubines", and this issue also includes Wang Shuo's "Animals Are Ferocious".

The two works have completely different styles, but are equally popular.

The publication of "Wives and Concubines" made the pen name Su Tong become the most famous name in the domestic literary world in the past two months.

The release of "The Fierce Animals" also allowed people to see that Wang Shuo has reached the pinnacle of the ruffian literature style.

Because of these two novels, "Contemporary" has been in the spotlight during this period.

In early October, the new issue of "Contemporary" was released as scheduled, and regular readers immediately noticed the difference in this issue.

Lin Weimin's name was not only written in the editor's column, but also in the director's column.

Colleagues and readers who are familiar with "Contemporary" can't help but sigh when they see this.

This is the leading literary publication in the country. The director and editor-in-chief shoulder the responsibility, and he is only twenty-seven years old!

Many people think back to their 27 years old. They were factory workers, not even team leaders; they were also clerks, but the most they did every day was odd jobs, hanging out at the bottom of the office; or they simply lived in the countryside, My heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper. I imagine the world in the book, but I have to bow my head and bend down to the land to survive.

What an enviable life!

The change in Lin Weimin's position has aroused emotion and envy from a group of people who know something about "Contemporary", but more readers are concerned about the publication itself.

Like Lin Weimin's job change, this issue of the publication also gave many readers a big surprise in terms of content.

"Hunting", Lin Weimin's latest novel, appeared in the publication as a headline, and the red font was unusually eye-catching.

More than a year has passed since the last time Lin Weimin published a work. Countless readers are already hungry and can't wait to turn the pages of the book.

Take a peek.
