1980 My literary era

In order to get himself a library and expand the museum, Lin Weimin specially found the leader of the Ministry of Rites.

The leader of the Rites Department is only the lowest position held by an old comrade. If a leader of this level can be troubled to come forward, the relationship is indeed clear.

Regarding this matter, word has spread throughout the Yanjing Municipal Government in the past few days.

Lin Weimin did not reveal to Ma Dudu how he had access to the connections in Yanjing City. Ma Dudu only found out the ins and outs of the matter after having dinner with people from the government, and was shocked.

Although I have known Lin Weimin for many years, I have already seen the strength of Lin Weimin's connections.

But the thought of Lin Weimin asking deputy state leaders for help just to build a library still made Ma Dudu sigh.

Seeing Li Guangfu, he couldn't wait to spread the word.

Li Guangfu started his career in decoration, and a few years ago he had the idea of ​​getting into real estate, but in the end he was frightened by the real estate bubble in 1992 and did not dare to enter the market.

However, in the past two years, his engineering team has become more and more prosperous and looks more and more like a regular army. This time, the project of building a new library fell on him, while the expansion of the museum was left to him. The city of Yanjing was built.

The museum expansion project was handed over to Yanjing Municipal Government, which was Lin Weimin's return of favor to the municipal government.

Of course, these are just verbal agreements, and the project is still in the early planning stage.

Ma Dudu met Li Guangfu for a brief chat.

Time flies to late August.

Yu Hua was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper, with a cup of jasmine tea on the table.

He has already lived the life he dreamed of when he was young. He has achieved prosperity by writing novels. He has gained a good reputation in the literary world. There is no pressure at work. Being late and leaving early is commonplace, but he is not happy. .

Because his good friend Mo Yan was more chic than him, which made him very unhappy.

Mo Yan joined Wenhua Film and Television after transferring from the army. At first, Yu Hua felt pretty good. He was the editor-in-chief of Tongwen News Agency, but Mo Yan could only work as a soldier at Wenhua Film and Television, euphemistically called the chief screenwriter. In fact, he didn't have any soldiers at his disposal.

It's not like him, he only has five or six people under his command!

But I don’t know since when, all this has undergone subtle changes.

If I had to count, I would probably start with Mo Yan’s recent public trip.

Part of the plot of Feng Xiaogang's new movie "See You or Be Parted" this year needs to be shot in Los Angeles, the United States. After completing the domestic shooting plan some time ago, the crew moved to Los Angeles, the United States. Tong Zhonggui and Mo Yan actually took the opportunity to use the crew to Guang traveled abroad once at his own expense.

The two of them were originally working on the script for "Hero", and they had finished revising the second draft of the script. Teacher Lin thought it was very good after reading it, and it was almost ready to be finalized. When the crew of "See You or Separate" went to the United States for filming, Teacher Lin With a wave of his hand, they were rewarded with a trip to the United States.

This not only made the people at Wenhua Film and Television greedy, but also made Yu Hua's eyes red with envy.

"See You or Separate" was to be shot in the United States, and it was indispensable to use Mr. Lin's relationship. Because of this relationship, everything went smoothly for the crew in the United States, and they lived a very comfortable life.

Yu Hua just had a phone call with Mo Yan yesterday. He asked Mo Yan how his stay in the United States was, and Mo Yan replied: That's it.

This sentence kept Yu Hua awake for half the night. He also wanted to experience that kind of treatment.

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Hua was stunned when a voice came to his ears. He looked up and saw that it was Vice President Li Xin.

No, it’s actually the president.

Mr. Lin is still the president of the Tongwen Society, and basically does nothing. Li Xin is in charge of the work, and is roughly the same as the president.

"Nothing, I'm reading the newspaper." Yu Hua replied casually.

Li Xin glanced at the most conspicuous news in the newspaper: "The Seoul District Court of South Korea sentenced former commander-in-chief Chun Dou-hwan to death."

The death sentence for a great leader of a country was indeed eye-catching, and Li Xin thought Yu Hua was paying attention to this news.

Yu Hua looked at him and asked, "How was the chat?"

"It's not that easy!" Li Xin sighed.

Some time ago, Lin Weimin gave him a task to contact Zheng Yuanjie.

Although there were no rigid requirements for him, he definitely wanted to bring Zheng Yuanjie into the ranks of the Chinese Literature Society.

Li Xin felt that he had a great responsibility and took this matter very seriously.

I talked to Zheng Yuanjie twice through my friendship, but with little success. Zheng Yuanjie was not interested in working with the Chinese Literature Society at all. His behavior was understandable.

In 1985, Zheng Yuanjie founded "The Fairy Tale King" on his own in order to get rid of the fixed manuscript fee of 2 yuan per thousand words.

Once the publication came out, it was warmly welcomed by readers, and the sales of the first issue reached 100,000 copies.

Three years later, the sales of "The Fairy Tale King" successfully exceeded one million copies.

Zheng Yuanjie is a freelance writer. He is not qualified to run a publication. "The Fairy Tale King" is actually affiliated with the SX Provincial T Committee.

After the publication is successful, part of the profits will be handed over to the SX Provincial T Committee, and his income is still in the name of royalties, but his income level is no longer the same as it was back then.

Until now, Zheng Yuanjie's annual manuscript fees are calculated in millions. Before the birth of the Buhu Book Series, few writers in China could compare with his manuscript fees or royalties.

In other words, Zheng Yuanjie was not short of money, so Li Xin came to ask for cooperation. Zheng Yuanjie was not eager and even resisted.

After chatting twice, Li Xin felt a little discouraged when he saw Zheng Yuanjie's insistence, so he planned to find Lin Weimin to find a solution.

He chatted with Yu Hua for a few words, and then came to Lin Weimin's office. When he saw Lin Weimin, he looked a little ashamed.

"President..."

Li Xin reported to Lin Weimin the two meetings with Zheng Yuanjie. Seeing that he looked gloomy and a little frustrated, Lin Weimin smiled and comforted him: "He is not short of money. You always talk to him in terms of income, of course. It’s not easy to talk about.”

Lin Weimin's words immediately awakened Li Xin.

He patted his head and regretted, "Oh, I really lost my mind!"

He then said to Lin Weimin: "Then I'll go again..."

Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "I've made a mistake in this matter. You can't promise him too generous terms. Without a basis for negotiation, it's natural that you can't reach an agreement. Let's make a phone call and make an appointment with him. I’ll see him later.”

Hearing this, Li Xin's face flashed with shame again.

The task assigned to him by his leader failed to be completed and he had to take action himself. This was a great setback for him.

Lin Weimin looked at his expression and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's up to me."

The more he heard what Lin Weimin said, the more ashamed Li Xin felt. He nodded and then changed the topic, "Then I'll contact him right now."

"Contact him again in a few days and I'll make preparations." Lin Weimin instructed.

Li Xin didn't know what Lin Weimin was going to prepare, and it was not convenient for him to ask, so he said "ok" and went out.

A few days later, I made an appointment to meet Zheng Yuanjie at a coffee shop.

Lin Weimin entered the coffee shop and scanned around first, but did not find the middle-aged man with bald hair. Then he saw a man with a short haircut waving to him.

He took a closer look and saw that it was Zheng Yuanjie with hair. Don't tell me, he really didn't recognize her with her black hair.

"Teacher Lin, I particularly like your "Spirited Away"."

When Zheng Yuanjie saw Lin Weimin, he greeted him warmly, and the two shook hands and sat down.

After ordering a cup of coffee, the two chatted.

Zheng Yuanjie has no serious status, but he is a very busy man. This is mainly because of the serialization of "The King of Fairy Tales". This publication has been in existence for eleven years. All the works serialized are completed by Zheng Yuanjie alone, so he can find time to communicate with him many times. When Li Xin met Lin Weimin, they expressed an attitude of respect.

The two first chatted a little about creation, and then casually chatted a few things about family life.

Zheng Yuanjie's son just graduated from elementary school this summer. Because his son's education method has been quite different since he was a child, Zheng Yuanjie's son seems to be out of place in school.

This problem has been bothering him for the past two years. Recently, he has been considering whether to let his son continue in school. For this reason, he often consulted the opinions of people around him, even the elementary school teacher who mocked him for his lack of success.

Seeing Lin Weimin, a high-level writer, he naturally would not let go of this topic and asked Lin Weimin about his views on family education and domestic campus education.

Lin Weimin pondered for a moment and said: "Every family's situation is different. Family education is very important for children, but many families are lacking in this aspect. There are subjective reasons, but to a large extent it is Objective reasons. Before the survival problem has been completely solved and the living standard has not reached a certain level, it is disrespectful to the Chinese people to talk about family education."

Lin Weimin said his thoughts very objectively without any whitewashing.

He continued: "Each family's situation is different. If you want to completely replace school education with home education, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, your family has the conditions and room for trial and error.

As for the current campus education model in our country, it is indeed relatively utilitarian and purposeful, which has a lot to do with the national conditions. This is certainly not the best education method in the world, but I believe it should be one of the fairest education methods in the world. "

Lin Weimin's words were concise, clear, and very pertinent. Zheng Yuanjie was thoughtful after listening to them.

"What you said makes sense. I have asked so many people, and most of them would not give me a clear opinion. Only a small number of people advised me that I should still send my children to school for education, but they also said Not even to the point.”

What is the "idea" that Zheng Yuanjie refers to?

To put it bluntly, he is qualified to be willful and to complete the education of his son through home education.

He was a writer, and his income was much higher than that of others, which laid the foundation for his educational plan.

Later, the news that Zheng Yuanjie asked his son Zheng Yaqi to drop out of school and receive family education at home once caused quite a stir in public opinion across the country.

This approach received a lot of criticism at the time. From the perspective of political correctness of public opinion, the criticism Zheng Yuanjie received was foreseeable.

Lin Weimin didn't care about Zheng Yuanjie's decision. It was a private matter. When asked what he thought, he just answered truthfully.

The two chatted for a few more words before getting down to the topic.

Lin Weimin came up and first threw a document bag to Zheng Yuanjie. He opened it and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed.
