1980 My literary era

"King of Painting" has returned to its peak, and Wang Yongsheng has not been idle because of this. When it resumes publication, the "5155 Project" that Lin Weimin mentioned to him will soon be implemented. He is currently busy with the launch of a new publication.

The success of "The King of Painting" not only restored Wang Yongsheng's former self-confidence, but also gave him great confidence.

A new publication came into being. In order to avoid conflict with the positioning of "King of Painting", Wang Yongsheng decided to position the publication as a girls' comic after communicating with Li Xin and Lin Weimin.

With today's domestic publication management methods, it is unrealistic to distinguish audiences by age groups. The simplest and most effective way is to divide readership groups by gender.

Lin Weimin gave the comic adaptation rights of "Spirited Away" to the new publication. In order to promote the new publication, Li Xin specially took the name of "Hongdou" and named the new publication "Hongdou Comics".

"Hongdou" is a romance magazine. Its readers are basically women, and girls and young women account for the majority. It is highly overlapped with the readers of "Hongdou Comics", plus the blessing of "Spirited Away".

Everyone believes that this new publication that has not yet been born will definitely soar into the sky!

The editors were chatting when the door of the editorial department was pushed open, revealing the trio of Yan Kaifu, Chen Xiang, and Zheng Xusheng.

As soon as they entered the door, the three of them beamed with joy. Chen Xiang said loudly: "Teacher Wang, I'm treating you tonight!"

Everyone looked at him, and Wang Yongsheng said: "When you get the royalties, save them. You are still young. Don't just think about eating and drinking after making a few money. What will you do if you have no money in the future?"

Chen Xiang was a little depressed, "Aren't I happy? Just give me a chance. I promise not to spend money recklessly in the future!"

"Yes, Teacher Wang, just give him a chance." Yan Kaifu and Zheng Xusheng advised, how could they have a good meal if Chen Xiang didn't treat him.

When Wang Yongsheng saw this, he said, "That won't happen next time!"

The trio couldn't help but cheer, and the editors in the newsroom also laughed.

Treating guests so happily is indeed a young man who doesn't know what it's like to be sad.

In June, the first single volume of Chen Xiang's "Xiaoshan Diary" was released, with an initial print run of 20,000 copies. As of the middle of the month, a total of nearly 40,000 copies had been sold. The royalties were settled yesterday, and together with the initial royalties paid to Chen Xiang, he received a total of 22,000 yuan in royalties.

For a young man in his early twenties, Chen Xiang could only vent his joy by receiving a huge sum of more than 20,000 yuan.

The same experience happened to Yan Kaifu once. In the past few months, Yan Kaifu's income has been much higher than his.

For three young people who once struggled in Yanjing's residential areas, comics have brought about tremendous changes in their lives.

Before the National Day, the script of "Speak Well" was written.

Unlike later generations, the original screenwriter Shu Ping has just published a novel and is not well-known. The screenwriter of this movie found Liu Heng.

Tong Zhonggui and Mo Yan took the script to the Chinese Literature Society for Lin Weimin to read. They thought that after all, this was an adaptation of Teacher Lin's novel, and Teacher Lin should take it very seriously.

Unexpectedly, Lin Weimin casually flipped through the script and then put it down.

"Teacher Lin, is there a problem with the script?" Tong Zhonggui asked.

Lin Weimin shook his head and said: "I can trust Liu Heng's level, just take a look at him."

Putting aside the topic of the script, Lin Weimin asked Tong Zhonggui: "Now that Mo Yan is here, I think he can be responsible for the script. How about you be the general manager of Wenhua."

Tong Zhonggui immediately shook his head like a rattle, "What can I do? I can't do this kind of thing. You should find someone else."

"I'm not forcing you to go to Liangshan! Look at Haiyan, he's also a writer, isn't he doing well now in Wencheng?"

"He turned out to be a hotel manager, and I was an editor. Teacher Lin, please spare me, I really can't do it."

Tong Zhonggui refused to work and didn't know. He thought Lin Weimin was asking him to do some hard work.

Lin Weimin was angry and said, "You can't help me, Adou! Let's talk about you. Among the people who joined the company with you, some of them have been editors for several years. Look at you again..."

Tong Zhonggui didn't feel angry or frightened by Lin Weimin's scolding. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. The scolding was all over and he definitely couldn't embarrass him anymore.

After scolding Tong Zhonggui, Lin Weimin looked at Mo Yan aside.

Mo Yan's little eyes immediately flashed and he hid.

Being a leader is not easy!

Lin Weimin looked at Mo Yan and thought of later generations' evaluation of him - Mo Yan is the most stupid leader I have ever seen in my life.

Just these little eyes, they look just like they are asleep when they are awake, they don’t have any leadership image at all, forget it.

Lin Weimin said: "Forget it, let's get on with it first. I'll recruit someone later. Don't regret it in the future."

Tong Zhonggui breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "No regrets, no regrets!"

Mo Yan was slightly disappointed in his heart. It doesn't matter if I do it or not, you should just ask me!

Tong Zhonggui's words aroused Lin Weimin's glare, and he grabbed Mo Yan and ran away.

After the two people left, Lin Weimin pondered for a long time.

Wenhua Film and Television has been established for half a year, and the position of general manager has been pending. There has been no suitable candidate. It is not that Lin Weimin can't find someone who understands movies.

It's just that many senior people in the film industry he is familiar with are older and have slightly outdated ideas. They can no longer keep up with the development situation in the ever-changing film market.

Now, it’s time to find a leader for Wenhua.

Lin Weimin thought about it and drove to Yanying Factory.

Han Shanping was very happy to see Lin Weimin, "Welcome Mr. Lin to come to our factory to guide our work."

"Stop using the polite words."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words. Lin Weimin did not let Han Shanping guess more about the purpose of his visit today, and asked straight to the point: "I came today because I want to have a date with you!"

Han Shanping was slightly surprised, then he laughed and said: "It is his honor to have someone you like here. Whoever catches your eye."

"Wenhua Film and Television has been established for half a year, but the candidate for the general manager has not yet been confirmed. I want to find a young, hard-working and capable general manager. I think the one from your factory would be good."

Hearing this, the smile on Han Shanping's face unconsciously faded a bit.

Yu Dong came to Yan Film Studio for an internship two years ago, and was officially assigned last year. He can drink, know things, and responds quickly. In just over a year, he has become the backbone of Yan Film Studio's distribution. Han Shanping deliberately trained him to be a distributor. Section chief.

Lin Weimin wanted him as soon as he came up, and Han Shanping felt heartbroken.

But it hurts. Han Shanping knows the choice. There are not many opportunities to make Lin Weimin owe favors. Isn't this coming?

But he still asked: "Is Yu Xiao too young? He has only graduated for more than a year. How about you take a look at the other backbones in our factory? As long as you like him, I will have no problem. You can take them as you please."

Lin Weimin said: "Experience is certainly important, but for a film company like Wenhua, having drive is even more important. Yu Yu is a rare talent in this regard."

Han Shanping nodded. It seemed that Teacher Lin was indeed optimistic about this boy.

He stopped being pretentious and said cheerfully: "It is his blessing to be in your favor. Please wait a moment, I will call him over."

Han Shanping called Yu Dong to the office. When he came in and saw Lin Weimin, he quickly said hello.

"Less than, sit down." Han Shanping said.

Seeing this posture, Yu Dong was a little uneasy. Teacher Lin was in the office, and the factory director called him over. He really couldn't figure out what could happen to him.

"You have been in our factory for more than a year. You have done a good job, especially in the distribution area. You are capable and motivated. Your future development is limitless."

Han Shanping's words made Yu Dong even more confused. What did the factory director mean?

He didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only sit and listen to Han Shanping's speech.

"...The development of the film industry is inseparable from talents like you. You are the backbone of our factory. Originally, the factory wanted to train you in the distribution field and hoped that you could take charge of your own business as soon as possible.

However, now there is a suitable opportunity..."

Speaking of this, Han Shanping paused for a moment, and Yu Dong had some vague suspicions in his heart, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"The Chinese Literature Society has newly established Wenhua Film and Television this year, specializing in the field of film. I think you should know this. Recently, Wenhua Film and Television has invested in Zhang Yimou's new film "If You Have Something to Say," which should be said to be a great development. Prospective.

Now Wenhua Film and Television is short of a general manager candidate. Teacher Lin has taken a liking to you. From now on, go over and work hard. Don’t embarrass our Yan Film Factory and don’t embarrass me, the director! "

Han Shanping did not discuss with Yu Dong, but directly decided on his transfer. He seemed simple and crude, but he was actually a smart person.

When Lin Weimin went to the factory to ask for people, it was self-evident that he was very optimistic about Yu Dong. If he asked Yu Dong on the spot if he was willing to go to Wenhua Film and Television, what if this guy had a brain attack and said he was unwilling to go or wanted to consider it? Isn’t it that Teacher Lin can’t get off the stage?

Of course, Han Shanping also knew that this probability was too low.

Although Wenhua Film and Television is a start-up, it is backed by a behemoth like the Chinese Literature Society.

What's more, it was Lin Weimin who helped Wenhua Film and Television get off the ground. As soon as he took action, he signed Zhang Yimou to Wenhua Film and Television. Just because of this great director, Wenhua Film and Television's projects will definitely not be short of funds in the future, and their development will definitely be wrong. No.

"I...I'll be the general manager?"

The sudden shock left Yu Dong speechless.

Han Shanping smiled at Lin Weimin, "This kid is so happy!"

He said to the host: "That's right. Teacher Lin has a keen eye for people. He caught the entrepreneurial spirit in you and asked you to be the general manager of Wenhua Film and Television. As a 24-year-old general manager, you can be regarded as the founder of our China. A record in the film industry!”

Yu Dong had no real idea of ​​what Han Shanping said about setting a record. He just felt dazed now, as if a big pie fell from the sky. Before he could eat it, he was hit hard and turned around.

"Why did you choose me?" Yu Dongru, the monk Zhang Er, suddenly asked.

Han Shanping pretended to scold: "What kind of words are you asking!"

Yu Dong quickly explained: "Director, Teacher Lin, I didn't mean that, I meant... I meant..."

He thought for a long time, but couldn't find the right words. Lin Weimin waved his hands and said with a smile: "Your director also said just now that what I like about you is your aggressiveness. When running a film company, content production is one aspect. , marketing and distribution are equally crucial and one cannot exist without the other.

You have been at Yan Film Studio for more than a year. The fact that you are valued by Director Cheng and Director Han is enough to prove your ability and potential in film distribution.

Wenhua Company has not been established for a long time, and there are not so many constraints. What we want now is a person like you who can move forward courageously. It doesn’t matter if you lack experience. You will have to work for two years. I will guide you, so you can go ahead and do it. ! "

Yu Dong could naturally hear Lin Weimin's appreciation for him, especially the last sentence, which gave Yu Dong an impulse and touch that "a scholar will die for his confidant". His throat was a little tight, and he wanted to say something. But when he saw Han Shanping beside him, he stopped what he wanted to say.

Han Shanping looked at Yu Dong's performance and couldn't help but admire Lin Weimin's method of winning over people's hearts. With a few words, Yu Yu's heart was pulled away.

He said earnestly: "You are less than, there are only a few good opportunities that a person can encounter in this life. If you catch it, you will catch it. If you miss it, you will miss it. This time you can win the favor of Teacher Lin. It's It’s such a great opportunity, why should you hesitate?”

When Yu Dong saw that his tone was firm and didn't seem to be lying, he made up his mind.

"Thank you, director, for your continuous cultivation. It is indeed a rare opportunity for me to be favored by Teacher Lin this time. When I was younger, I would have changed places to contribute to Chinese films. But don't worry, I will be there wherever I go. The soldiers you brought out!"

Han Shanping smiled and said: "What kind of determination do you want to express to me in front of the new boss?"

"It's okay. People who miss old friendships are humane and can never do anything wrong." Lin Weimin said with a smile.

Yu Dong scratched his head in embarrassment, a little green.

Han Shanping looked at such a young Yu Dong and sighed in his heart.

He is only 24 years old and he is already the general manager.

A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.

He didn't really understand these words before, but today when he saw Lin Weimin and Yu Yu, he finally had a deep understanding of these words.

How much courage it takes to entrust a 24-year-old young man with important responsibilities!

Han Shanping looked at Lin Weimin and remembered in a daze that he was only thirty when he became the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Literature Society.

It’s great to be young!
