1980 My literary era

In early March, news of commodity price adjustments in Shanghai spread across the country, kicking off the price breakthroughs and panic buying in 1988. People in the wave of the times were all affected by such changes.

As a result, the number of submissions to the editorial department of "Contemporary" has also increased. After all, the royalties are high, and the same work is published. Publishing in "Contemporary" means you can make more money. Who wouldn't do it?

Writers have to eat too!

A few days after the third issue of "Contemporary" was released in March, the Chinese Literature Society contacted the editorial department of "Contemporary" and wanted to publish the third volume of "The Ordinary World".

This novel has just been published in its second issue, and it will be published as a single volume in just over a month. This is mainly because "The Ordinary World" has done so well on the radio.

Since September last year, the first and second parts of "The Ordinary World" have been broadcast on the Central People's Broadcasting Station's "Long-form Series" program, and have received strong responses from readers.

At the end of the year, Lu Yao finished revising the third part while he was ill. The radio station had no time to wait for the novel to be published, so he took the proof and recorded the program. When the third part was published in "Contemporary", half of the program on the radio had already been broadcast.

Last month, the third broadcast of "The Ordinary World" ended, and radio stations across the country started a new round of broadcasts, giving a saturated broadcast to many radio listeners.

But few people who listen to the radio have not heard of the novel "The Ordinary World".

As the program became more and more popular, the call for the publication of the novel became louder and louder. The Chinese Literature Society decided to comply with public opinion and publish the third volume as quickly as possible.

Lin Weimin called Lu Yao and was extremely happy to hear the readers' voices.

"The Ordinary World" contains his many years of hard work, and he continued to create it even though he was ill. Now that the work is becoming more and more popular, he is naturally very happy.

The third volume of "The Ordinary World" was published, with an initial printing of 200,000 copies. Lu Yao received a royalties of 13,000 yuan, which included basic royalties and royalties for the number of printings.

If the novel is reprinted and republished in the future, he will receive a lot of royalties for the number of prints.

Lu Yao thanked Lin Weimin on the phone, "Prices have risen dramatically this year. Your manuscript fee has solved my urgent need!"

"As long as you don't spend lavishly, this money will be enough for your family to live for several years." Lin Weimin warned.

What he fears most is that Lu Yao recovers and his old ways emerge.

After calling Lu Yao, Lin Weimin received another call from Yu Hua.

In January, Yu Hua had graduated from the writers class of the National College of Liberal Arts, returned to Zhijiang, and was transferred to the JX Federation of Literary and Art Circles as the editor of the association's publication "Misty Rain Tower".

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin, I have finished writing my novel!"

Yu Hua's tone on the phone was very excited, like a primary school student waiting for praise from the teacher after completing his homework.

"Did you finish writing? Well, it's okay. I thought I had to wait until Mo Yan graduated too!"

The faint ridicule instantly extinguished Yu Hua's good mood. Do you always know how to chat?

"Has the novel been mailed out?"

"The mail has been sent, the mail has been sent!" Yu Hua said quickly.

"Okay, I got it, let's wait for the news!"

After Lin Weimin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which made Yu Hua very hurt.

I finished the novel without even a word of praise.

Lin Weimin said to Tong Zhonggui: "Did you see that in three years, you have written a novel? It has been more than a year since the movies adapted from other people's novels won awards. Can you give a person like this a good attitude? You must encourage them!" "

Tong Zhonggui nodded and took note of Teacher Lin's lesson.

"Look back and think about it, bring it to me when his novel arrives." Lin Weimin warned again.

"good."

A few days later, Lin Weimin got off work in the evening and ran to the Shichahai courtyard. At the beginning of the new year, Tao Huimin went to film location scenes, leaving him alone.

"Tiesheng! Tiesheng!"

Lin Weimin pushed open the courtyard door and called Shi Tiesheng's name. When he entered the courtyard, he first saw Cheng Ximi holding a spatula.

"It's in the study!" Cheng Ximi poked his head from the kitchen and said.

Lin Weimin entered the study, and Shi Tiesheng just rolled his wheelchair to the door. There was a threshold at the door, and he couldn't get out.

"I've told you so many times, just dismantle this thing!" Lin Weimin complained.

"It won't hurt if you keep it, it will ward off rats." Shi Tiesheng replied.

Shi Tiesheng lived in Lin Weimin's house, which was good everywhere, except that there were many rooms and many thresholds. Shi's father specially prepared several triangular wooden boxes made of wooden boards for this purpose, one at the door of each house.

But sometimes it is still inconvenient. The height of the threshold is too high. Even if it becomes a slope, a wheelchair cannot be rolled over, and someone has to push it.

Lin Weimin asked Shi Tiesheng several times to remove the threshold, but Shi Tiesheng did not do it. He wanted to take action himself, but Shi Tiesheng stopped him.

The house belongs to Lin Weimin, and Shi Tiesheng is renting it. Of course, he doesn't want to destroy it. Lin Weimin plans to tear down the threshold one day when he is not at home.

The two had just chatted for a while when Cheng Ximi called for dinner. Lin Weimin pushed Shi Tiesheng to the kitchen to eat. Shi Lan, who had been missing all this time, suddenly appeared.

"I can't see you when I'm cooking, but you're quite active when I'm eating."

Lin Weimin made a sarcastic remark to her, which drew a pair of eyes.

Everyone was eating, and Shi Lan finished his meal first and pushed his bicycle out.

"What is this girl doing?"

Shi Tiesheng said: "Go watch a movie!"

"Are you dating?"

"Um."

Lin Weimin sighed: "It went by so fast. This girl is already in love with someone."

"When will you get married? I went to my mother-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year and didn't I rush you?" Shi Tiesheng asked.

"We have agreed that Huimin will finish filming the movie at the end of this year or early next year, depending on the situation."

Shi Tiesheng smiled and said, "You two have been in love for a long enough time."

Lin Weimin asked back: "Comrade Ximi definitely disagrees with this."

Cheng Simi laughed when he heard this.

She and Shi Tiesheng corresponded for almost ten years, and finally got married last year.

After dinner, Lin Weimin, Shi Tiesheng, his wife and Shi's father were watching TV in the living room.

CCTV's "Desire" has come to an end and is about to have its finale.

The fifty-episode length of "Desire" is very rare in China today. The last TV series of this length broadcast by CCTV was "The Biography of a Female Doctor".

Once the TV series was aired, it was warmly welcomed by the vast number of TV viewers. The whole country mourned Liu Huifang, the whole country cursed Wang Husheng, and everyone lamented Song Dacheng. The ending was different from the original version under the guidance of Lin Weimin, and the praise was even greater.

Several leading actors in the TV series became famous because of this. Zhang Kaili, who played Liu Huifang, became the standard for all Chinese men to choose wives and mothers-in-law to choose daughters-in-law in just one month, perfectly interpreting the image of a good wife and loving mother.

Father Shi watched the TV series and sighed that Zhang Kaili played well and must be a good wife and mother in life.

Lin Weimin joked: "Uncle, this is your role filter. I've seen this actor before, and he's just a talker."

Cheng Simi was amused by his words, "For the people, your words are too damaging."

The TV series ended and Lin Weimin said goodbye.

Two days later, there was a meeting in the club, and Lin Weimin was inexplicably given the title of deputy editor-in-chief.

When Cheng Wuchun came to talk to him, Lin Weimin was confused.

When he was promoted to editorial director, Cheng Wuchun specifically talked to him.

When Lao Meng was the director of the editorial department of "Contemporary", he was named deputy editor-in-chief. When Lao Qin was the director, he was also named deputy editor-in-chief.

The status of "Contemporary" in the Chinese Literature Society is already high, and the two of them are senior, so they have the title of deputy editor-in-chief.

When it came to Lin Weimin, considering that he was still junior, and the director was promoted, the name of the deputy editor was no longer mentioned. Lin Weimin also understood during the conversation.

This time, Lin Weimin suddenly told him to let him be the deputy editor-in-chief. Lin Weimin didn't understand how this good thing came about.

Cheng Wanchun reminded: "I will quit next week."

Lin Weimin suddenly realized that this time, the border office compensated him before he left. The position of deputy editor-in-chief returned to Lin Weimin, and he was considered to have received the treatment he deserved.

"The leader is very particular about how he handles this matter!"

Lin Weimin sighed, but did not notice Cheng Wuchun's disdainful eyes.

If you get a promotion, it means you are a good leader. If you don't get a promotion, you may be scolding in your heart!

Cheng Wanchun thought that he knew Sun Monkey too well.

"No, I have to treat the leader to a meal!" Lin Weimin said.

"The leader sent you this meal? Are you trying to win over corrupt leading cadres!" Cheng Wuchun said sarcastically.

Lin Weimin was dissatisfied, "Who corrupts cadres with a meal? You don't regard leaders as cadres. It's really a waste of time!"

Lin Weimin was very familiar with the operation of killing people and punishing the heart, and he aroused Cheng Wuchun's anger with just one sentence.

After exchanging a few insults, Lin Weimin left Cheng Wuchun's office.

A few days later, the appointment announcement appeared on the bulletin board in the Chinese Literature Society, and colleagues gathered around the bulletin board to discuss it.

"At this speed, a rocket can't even be that fast!"

"The 28-year-old deputy editor-in-chief and editorial director, hey, he is the only one in our Chinese Literature Society!"

"It is said that the leader specifically explained this before he left."

"I heard, it's to make up for the suspension last time! That's right. I write a novel, get it published, and then I have to do it across the department. What kind of style is this!"

"Hehe, it's just like the remnants!"

"I heard that the other side didn't fare well either, with fifty big hits on both sides."

…

Lin Weimin was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief and immediately became a hot topic among the staff of the Chinese Literature Society.

But discussions are discussions, and in the general environment of the Chinese Literature Society, very few people say anything negative.

Lin Weimin has always been popular in the Chinese Literature Society, and he has also led "Contemporary" to great effect. The most important thing is that he is also doing well in his side business. His novels have won so many awards and have a huge influence. Whether it is honor or wealth, he has been with everyone for a long time. Leveled up.

People are like this, you may feel jealous when facing someone who is a little better than you.

But when facing someone who is much stronger than you, all you have left is the admiration of the weak for the strong.

In addition to these, another point is that the sales of Lin Weimin's works have a huge impact on the profitability of the Chinese Literature Society, and everyone benefits in disguise.

There is no reason not to welcome such people as leaders.

On this day, Lin Weimin became the focus of the colleagues of the Chinese Literature Society. The colleagues in the editorial department coaxed Zhang Luo to treat him to dinner.

The 28-year-old deputy editor-in-chief of the Chinese Literature Society only appeared in special eras, but most of those people were ignorant and unskilled. They just took advantage of the loopholes. Once the storm was over, they immediately showed their true colors and left.

Lin Weimin had just invited guests after returning from his reinstatement, and he immediately sternly rejected the group's unreasonable demands.

As soon as he returned to the office, the phone rang.

It was Yu Hua again, urging him if he had received the manuscript.

"You're so impatient! If you have this time, you might as well think about what to write in your next work."

"I have almost planned my next work. It is entirely inspired and nourished by you."

After hearing what Yu Hua said, Lin Weimin became interested and urged: "Then write quickly. If you write well, I will let you enjoy the treatment of headlines."

"I want a large font size!" Yu Hua bargained.

Lin Weimin scolded: "I haven't even written a novel yet, so I started daydreaming!"

"This is also one of the motivations for my writing!" Yu Hua insisted.

"Then write well, write well, and anything is possible!"

Yu Hua agreed immediately and hung up the phone happily.

When it comes to cake painting, Teacher Lin is a professional.
