1980 My literary era

Cheng Wuchun is one of the protagonists today. He first introduced the eight writers present in detail.

The six writers Wang Meng, Jia Pingwa, Liang Xiaosheng, Huang Anyi, Jin Ying, and Tang Kangmei were all familiar to the reporters and guests present, and they are also very famous in the domestic literary world.

Today, the six of them appeared as invited contracted writers of the Buhu Book Series.

Different from the six of them, Hong Feng and Yuxiu appeared as contracted writers for the essay solicitation.

After introducing the specific situation of the eight writers, it was time for them to greet the media reporters. Each of the eight people had a few minutes. Wang Meng, Jin Ying and others were experienced in the world, and they talked about the scene one by one. The rest It didn't work for a few people. After a few simple chats, there was nothing more to say.

Lin Weimin could only take the microphone, and after a few simple words, he announced the first batch of titles in the Buhu series.

"Abandoned Capital", author Jia Pingwa;

"Bitter World", author Hong Feng;

"Flower Season and Rainy Season", author Yuxiu.

Three works, three situations.

Jia Pingwa became famous at a young age. She published her first book at the age of twenty-three. Over the years, she has been a powerful writer in Shaanxi literary circles. She is also very famous nationwide and is a writer who has been famous for a long time.

Hong Feng started his career in avant-garde literature in his early years, but his development in recent years has been unsatisfactory and he has become a bit depressed. This time, he has returned to the public eye again by virtue of being selected into the Buhu Book Series.

Yuxiu is a high school student. The first novel she wrote was selected into the Buhu Book Series. She is not only a new writer, but also a student writer and a teenage writer. When reporters saw her, their eyes lit up. What good material this is!

However, reporters are more curious about the three works selected for the Buhu Book Series than the writers.

The Chinese Literature Society has launched a "One Million Reward Essay Call", offering writers a high remuneration of "150 yuan per thousand words". Everyone is curious about what kind of novels can be selected into the Buhu Series.

Unfortunately, Lin Weimin ignored the raises of hands and questions from all the reporters present. After taking away the microphone, he specifically told Jia Pingwa and three others that he must not answer any questions about the work when answering reporters' questions later.

Until the last moment of listing, the contents of the Buhu series must not be leaked at all.

The main theme is a mystery!

Only in this way can the sense of mystery be maintained and the curiosity of the public be aroused to the greatest extent possible.

Next is the highlight of today's signing ceremony - the signing.

Each of the eight writers had a document in his hand, and the president, Cheng Wanchun, had a pile of documents in his hand.

Under the flashlight and attention of reporters, everyone bowed their heads to sign, and then exchanged documents, which was full of ceremony.

But in fact, the agreement that should be signed was signed yesterday, and the documents on the stage are just for show.

After signing the contract and finishing the photo session, Lao Cheng smiled like a dog's tail flower.

Today he is in the limelight, enough to last for a year.

Teacher Lin stood silently behind the scenes, laugh, laugh, you will know what the words you signed mean in the future.

After taking photos, the next step was the reporter’s favorite part of the collection, the Q\u0026A session.

As Lin Weimin expected, Wang Meng and Yuxiu were the two people that reporters were most interested in, followed by Huang Anyi and Jin Ying.

The two are twin stars among domestic female writers, and Jin Ying also holds the position of deputy leader of a provincial literary association, which is full of topicality.

After the half-hour interview and questions, the grand signing ceremony officially ended.

But the reporters still didn't give up. Most of them couldn't get an appointment for a special interview, so they could only ask a few more questions at the exit of the stage. Thirty or forty reporters blocked everyone there. The scene was quite spectacular. .

After finally waiting for everyone to return to the small room, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Even an experienced writer and cadre like Wang Meng, who has seen the world, couldn't help but wipe his sweat in today's scene.

In the past, he had received many interviews with higher levels than today, but in terms of the enthusiasm of reporters, today was definitely among the best.

"Thank you everyone!"

Lin Weimin expressed his condolences to everyone, and then explained that the signing ceremony was over, and it stands to reason that there would be nothing wrong with everyone.

However, the Chinese Publishing House later arranged interviews with several media outlets, namely interviews with the Central People's Broadcasting Station, Guangming Daily, China Youth Daily and Wenhui Daily.

Eight writers, each interviewing two writers, both rain and dew, one afternoon is enough.

After the interview, the Chinese Literature Society also arranged travel activities in Yanjing for the eight foreign writers, and the service was very attentive.

Before leaving, Yuxiu found Lin Weimin and took out a copy of "Spirited Away" for Lin Weimin to sign.

"You high school students also like to read this novel?" Lin Weimin asked with a smile.

"Many of our classmates like to watch it. I like every character in it, especially the Faceless Ghost."

Yuxiu is a little girl after all. When she mentions something she likes, her face becomes excited and she jumps for joy.

"I wish Xiaoyu good luck in the college entrance examination and a successful start!"

Lin Weimin finished signing and handed the novel back to Yuxiu. The little girl politely said thank you.

Then the little girl took out another book and walked towards Wang Meng, "Teacher Wang, can you sign your name for me?"

teacher LIN:……

"Hahaha!"

Jin Ying and Tang Kangmei laughed regardless of their image, and pointed at Lin Weimin while laughing. Their mocking laughter made people very unhappy.

"Haha, Lin Weimin, you too are today!"

Everyone is a classmate of the Institute of Literature. Yuxiu repeated Lin Weimin's operation at the Institute of Literature, which can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect and retribution.

Ignoring the gloating of the two middle-aged women, Lin Weimin asked Huang Anyi, "Anyi, come to our house for dinner tonight."

Huang Anyi looked embarrassed, "I still have something to do."

"What can happen to you? Now that you've arrived in Yanjing, how can you not have a meal at your old classmate's house!"

When Lin Weimin was persuading, Jin Ying put her arm around Huang Anyi's shoulders.

"An Yi doesn't have time to go to your house for dinner. I made an appointment with her to go to the National Art Museum of China to see the Rodin sculpture exhibition."

"Not only invite her, but you also go together."

"That's not free either."

After Jin Ying finished speaking, she ignored Lin Weimin's words, pulled Huang Anyi, and then dragged Tang Kangmei away.

The grand signing ceremony for the first batch of Buhu book series ended, and it quickly appeared in dozens of newspapers across the country the next day.

"The Buhu Book Series signed a grand contract, and the first batch of eight writers appeared" "Wang Meng led the way, and many powerful writers joined the Buhu Book Series" "The first batch of works of the Buhu Book Series were announced: Wasted Capital, Bitter World, Flower Season and Rainy Season" (The title of a single book cannot be displayed, Garbage Starting Point) "19-year-old genius girl writer signs contract with Buhu Book Series"...

Dozens of media reports appear in one day. Even if it is not front-page news, the readership it can cover and the impact it can have are extremely terrifying.

News about the Buhu book series has once again swept the attention of the Chinese people after the wave of craze at the end of the year. It has become the hottest topic in the domestic press recently, attracting strong attention from countless people and industry insiders.

"Boss, the production capacity really can't keep up. We must expand production and increase efficiency this year. Our previous estimates were a bit insufficient. In the first two months of spring, "Spirited Away" alone consumed all our remaining production capacity. Empty."

Mou Chunzhi is pouring out his bitterness to Cheng Wuchun.

In the past two years, not only has the book publishing volume of Guowen Society increased dramatically, but also the younger brother Tongwen Society has emerged. The two publishing houses have a combined annual printing volume of more than 45 million books and a combined annual printing volume of more than 70 million publications. .

Such a huge printing volume has caused the printing business of the Chinese Publishing House to reach the upper limit of its production capacity.

The Yanjing National Literature Printing Factory located in Huangcun, Daxing County, was previously shared by the Chinese Literature Society and the Tongwen Society. As a result, it is now unable to even print business from the Tongwen Society.

Xinhua Printing Factory, which we have been cooperating with for many years, has reached its maximum production capacity for the Chinese Literature Society. Other production capacities are owned by the company and cannot be moved casually.

In addition, there are several small printing houses that have been cooperating with them all year round, such as Guanzhong Printing Factory, Mingcheng Printing Factory, and Amity Printing Factory, which they just cooperated with last year. Either the printing volume is small or the printing types are single, which cannot solve any big problems.

Since the release of "Spirited Away" at the end of last year, sales have exceeded 500,000 copies in one week, one million copies in half a month, and two million copies in one and a half months. It has occupied all the remaining printing resources of the Chinese Literature Society.

In the past few days, three novels, "The Wasted City", "Bitter World" and "Flower Season" are about to be released. The initial printing volume is 200,000 copies. Mou Chunzhi can only toss around, put some less important reprints and reprints on hold for a while, and do his best to guarantee them. Printing and binding of new books.

But it is not an option to keep tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall. Mou Chunzhi has been worried about his hair falling out in handfuls recently.

If this really delayed the printing and sales of the new book, he would be blamed, so he hurriedly came to Cheng Wanchun to discuss countermeasures (shuai) (guo).

After listening to Mou Chunzhi's complaint, Cheng Wuchun couldn't help but worry. Even if the business is developing too well, it may not be all a good thing!

This happy trouble.

Cheng Wuchun called Lin Weimin over and asked Mou Chunzhi to explain the situation again.

"What do you think?" Cheng Wanchun asked.

"Any ideas? Let's contact the printing factory to deal with it temporarily and get over the current difficulties first. The next step is to expand the production capacity of the printing factory in Huangcun or acquire the printing factory. It depends on the arrangement of the company."

Lin Weimin's idea was not surprising. It was the same as that of Cheng Wanchun and Mou Chunzhi. However, Cheng Wanchun hesitated between "expanding the production capacity of the original printing plant" and "acquiring the printing plant."

"Why are you hesitating? Let's attack both ways!" Lin Weimin said carelessly.
