1980 My literary era

You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.

Baiwang Mountain does not have the momentum of Mount Tai, but the beauty of the scenery has a unique charm.

It took more than half an hour for everyone to climb the mountain. After admiring the beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain for more than 20 minutes, they gathered and went down the mountain.

It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain, and everyone experienced this especially deeply when they were carrying Shi Tiesheng on their backs.

"Tiesheng, you really need to eat less in the future."

When Mo Yan, the third person carrying him down the mountain, responded to this question, Shi Tiesheng finally couldn't hold it back and put his hand on Mo Yan's shoulder and shouted: "Let me down!"

"Look you, we are just giving you a sincere suggestion."

"That's right, we are doing this for your own good." Yu Hua agreed.

Shi Tiesheng glanced sideways at Lin Weimin and Yu Hua. These gangsters were so bad. In order not to admit that they were not physically strong enough, they even arranged the weight of a disabled person like him.

He called Tong Zhonggui and replaced Mo Yan, "You guys should rest more. Zhonggui has good physical strength. He can just carry me on his back."

Lin Weimin and Yu Hua, who had gotten a good deal just now, stopped talking. Others also stopped talking. Shi Tiesheng was really full of laughter with this round of ridicule.

Several people stared at Tong Zhonggui's strong thighs, full of jealousy.

We were all acquaintances, we were just joking, we went down the mountain laughing and joking, everyone was very tired.

Going down to the foot of the mountain, the elderly, women and children are in another pastoral and pastoral harmonious style.

Everyone said hello, and as soon as they sat down and before eating, they heard a burst of crying.

Everyone followed the sound, but Yu Haiguo, the chubby little boy, was throwing himself on the ground and crying loudly. In front of him, Xiaodou Bao was holding a piece of chocolate in his hand with a confused look on his face.

Tao Huimin, who knows her daughter Mo Ruomu, thought that Xiaodou Bao was stubborn and bullied the children, so she ran over and scolded her with a bluster: "You bully my brother again!"

"I didn't bully him!" Xiaodoubao argued.

"You didn't bully your brother. How could he fall?"

In the previous gatherings, Xiaodoubao would make Yu Haiguo cry from time to time. When Tao Huimin saw her speaking back, she was so angry that she wanted to spank her twice, but Cheng Hong stopped her in time.

"It's okay, it's okay, kid."

After being stopped, Tao Huimin glared at Xiaodou Bao and said, "Why don't you apologize to your brother quickly?"

Xiaodoubao was usually punished at home. Although he felt aggrieved now, he still decisively gave in and said obediently: "Brother Guoguo, I'm sorry."

The apology was an apology, but Xiaodou Bao's big eyes stared at Yu Haiguo.

The little chubby boy was frightened by her glare. After accepting Xiaodou Bao's apology, he threw himself into his mother's arms out of fear, not daring to look at her.

"Okay, okay, it's okay." Tao Huimin comforted him.

After the interlude, when Lin Weimin wasn't paying attention, Xiaodoubao ran to his legs with a look of aggrievedness.

"Dad~"

Lin Weimin picked her up and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiaodoubao lay in his ear and whispered.

It turned out that it was Xiaodoubao who was holding the chocolate just now. The chubby little Yu Haiguo asked her for it, but she didn't give it to her. Yu Haiguo stared at the chocolate in her hand with greed, and fell to the ground without looking at the road while walking.

"This little fat guy is very bad!" Xiaodoubao finished his complaint and did not forget to summarize.

Lin Weimin also agreed: "This kid is really unreasonable. He didn't clarify it when he saw you were wronged. It's true that like father, like son."

Xiaodoubao looked fierce, "Yes, I think he just deserves a beating."

Shi Tiesheng looked at the father and daughter silently. Don't you really want to examine why they don't clarify it for you?

After having a picnic at noon, everyone wandered around the park for another two hours in the afternoon and set off to leave shortly before three o'clock.

On the way back, Xiaodou Bao clamored to take Lin Weimin's car.

She was held in Father Shi's arms, calling her "Grandpa" one after the other so affectionately that Father Shi couldn't close his mouth.

As the car passed near Gaojing Hutong, Xiaodoubao saw the residential houses that were about to be demolished again.

"Dad, look at this place, does it look like a playground?"

Lin Weimin was driving his car. He glanced casually out of the car window and reacted immediately.

"I don't think it looks like a playground, it looks like a hospital. Dad is building a hospital here. If you get sick, you can come here, okay?"

Sister Dou Bao was not afraid of anything but getting sick and getting injections and medicine. When her father mentioned that he was in the hospital, her expression suddenly changed.

"Don't build the hospital, don't build the hospital!" Xiaodou Bao waved his little hands.

Shi Tiesheng and his son were made to laugh by her. Xiaodou Bao looked at Shi's father and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you afraid of hospitals?"

Father Shi said with a smile: "I'm afraid. Grandpa is also afraid of hospitals. The injections hurt too much and the medicines are too bitter. It's really hard!"

Xiao Doubao seemed to have found a soulmate all of a sudden, and she recounted with Father Shi the painful experiences of being sick and hospitalized several times since she could remember.

"Once I had a fever, my mother gave me medicine first, but it was too bitter. Then she took me to the hospital for an injection, and the doctor gave me an injection. The needle was so long..."

Xiaodoubao is measuring the needle faster than a foot long, and the story is vivid.

After sending Shi Tiesheng's family to the place, she greeted Father Shi with unfinished words, "Goodbye, Grandpa Shi. I'll tell you a story next time."

Shi Tiesheng couldn't help but complain, "I bet your daughter knows she made it up! It's true that like father, like daughter."

"Talent, it's all talent." Lin Weimin said with a smile.

After the weekend of leisure, it’s another week of work.

In the new week, Chinese Literature Publishing House published Zheng Yuanjie's new work "Photography of the Pig King".

This fairy tale is one of the "Twelve Zodiac Fairy Tales" brewed by Zheng Yuanjie. The concept of "Twelve Zodiac Fairy Tales" first came into being in 1985. In 1986, he published a book called "The Drunken Ox King", and then published it one after another. There are several works including "The Rat King's Birthday", "The Snake King's Gold Hunting", "The Dragon King's Trouble in the Sea", "The Rabbit King Selling His Ears" and "The Dog King's Sleepwalking".

More than a month ago, Lin Weimin successfully persuaded Zheng Yuanjie to enter into an in-depth cooperation with the Chinese Literature Society. He not only handed over the publishing rights of his works to the Chinese Literature Society, but also handed over a series of subsequent copyright developments to the Chinese Literature Society.

For more than a month, the Chinese Literature Society has been taking continuous actions.

First, they contacted Shanxi and tried to acquire "The Fairy Tale King", and then they started to adapt Zheng Yuanjie's fairy tales into comics.

It happened that Zheng Yuanjie's new work "Photography of the Pig King" had just been completed recently. The Chinese Literature Society got the manuscript and reviewed it immediately. It only took half a month to complete the publication and distribution of this fairy tale.

On the eve of the launch of "Pig King Photo", it is natural to promote it to show the sincerity and strength of the Chinese Literature Society.

The book advertisement for this fairy tale appeared directly on the pages of many publications under the Chinese Literature Society, covering tens of millions of readers.

The first printing of "Pig King Photography" was 200,000 copies, and 100,000 copies were sold in just one week.

When the news reached Zheng Yuanjie's ears, he couldn't believe it.

Half of the 200,000 copies were sold so easily?

It has been 10 years since the creation of the Twelve Zodiac Fairy Tales, and 6 of them have been published. These fairy tales have a good influence on Zheng Yuanjie's works. On average, each work sells about 200,000 to 300,000 copies per year. Over the years, some books have sold more than one million copies.

Now it is published by Guowenshe, and 100,000 copies are sold in one week, which is equivalent to the sales volume in the previous half year.

How could a different publishing house have such a big increase in book sales?

No matter how surprised Zheng Yuanjie is, the reality is this. Guowenshe's sound and huge distribution system and powerful publicity methods have indeed brought a huge increase in the sales of his works. According to this trend, the sales prospects of his works will inevitably reach leaps and bounds in the future. style growth.

Before Zheng Yuanjie got the news, he was notified of another good news. The first draft of the script of "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", which was being adapted by "The King of Painters", had been released, and the character image and concept design had also been released. Wang Yongsheng Inform him to come to the editorial office to review the results.

When he came to the editorial department of "King of Painting", Zheng Yuanjie read the first draft of the script and some of the comics author's designs for the fairy tale.

He is the original author and has a lot of concrete thoughts on the content of fairy tales. During the initial communication, he shared a lot of his ideas with the screenwriter and comic book author responsible for the adaptation. Today is the time to verify the specific implementation effect of his ideas.

After reading it, Zheng Yuanjie was satisfied with most of the script and design, but he still proposed a lot of things that needed to be adjusted. They were all very detailed and very cumbersome. It would take a lot of time to implement his ideas. and energy.

However, "King of Painting" did not hesitate to accept all the orders, and their attitude was so good that Zheng Yuanjie was a little embarrassed.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, I have caused trouble for you." After it was over, Zheng Yuanjie said to Wang Yongsheng.

Wang Yongsheng smiled and said: "You are too polite. We are responsible for the comic adaptation of your work, and we must make it perfect."

Feeling the sincerity in Wang Yongsheng's words, Zheng Yuanjie felt a little moved and happy in his heart.

Cooperating with the Chinese Literature Society seems to be a very correct decision.

After the meeting, Wang Yongsheng invited everyone to dinner.

During the dinner, we talked about "The King of Fairy Tales". This fairy tale publication written entirely by Zheng Yuanjie has not been interrupted due to the cooperation between Zheng Yuanjie and the Chinese Literature Society. During this time, the Chinese Literature Society has successfully reached an agreement with Shanxi Province, which cost 300 yuan. After purchasing the publication for 10,000 yuan, we are now just waiting for the department's approval before "The Fairy Tale King" can change its name.

"The Fairy Tale King" is different from the discontinued "Picture Book King". Its current sales can easily exceed one million copies per issue. It is a solid best-selling publication. It is a bit cheap to buy this publication for 3 million yuan.

But this publication actually has little to do with Shanxi. When Zheng Yuanjie organized the publication, he just borrowed a name from Shanxi. This kind of thing was very common in the 1980s and 1990s.

It would actually not be a bad idea if the Chinese Literature Society directly hired Zheng Yuanjie to start a new business. After all, Zheng Yuanjie is the soul of this publication.

However, Lin Weimin never likes to do things with all the agencies. He considers himself not a businessman, and the Chinese Literature Society is not simply a company that pursues profits, so he doesn't care about spending more money to make things beautiful.

The Shanxi side was also very aware of the key points involved, so they gave up as soon as they were ready. After two communications, they decisively agreed to the Chinese Literature Society's request.

Wang Yongsheng treated guests to a restaurant near the family building. Every evening, some people related to the Chinese Literature Society would gather here.

While they were eating, they saw Yu Dong walking into the hotel with several people from Wenhua Film and Television.

"Mr. Yu!" Wang Yongsheng greeted.

When Yu Dong saw Wang Yongsheng and others, they came forward and greeted him warmly. Wang Yongsheng introduced Zheng Yuanjie to Yu Dong.

"Let's eat something together." Wang Yongsheng suggested.

We usually work together and have become familiar with each other. Yu Dong was not polite and led the people to sit down.

"I heard that the box office of "Speak Well" exceeded 70 million?" Wang Yongsheng poured Yu Dong a glass of wine and asked.

Yu Dong bowed and replied: "Yes."

"Is there any hope of breaking 100 million?"

Yu Dong chuckled, "What hope is there! It's the fourth week and it's only 75 million. It's the end of the road. It will be released in a week or two."

"Ah!" Wang Yongsheng sighed with a hint of regret, and then said: "That's not a lot, the number of screenings is over 80 million anyway."

"Absolutely. It's still too difficult to break 100 million. Now we can only place our hopes on "Hero"."

"Isn't Feng Xiaogang's new movie coming out soon? His last movie did so well at the box office, so he has great hopes, right?"

Yu Dong shook his head, "It's not the same. Nowadays, piracy has a great impact on the box office of the film in the middle and later stages of its release. Who is willing to go to the cinema and spend money to watch ordinary feature films if they have CDs? Why are people so eager to watch Hollywood blockbusters? ?Isn’t it because the scenes are grand and the special effects are realistic? So, if you want a stable box office trend, you still have to go the route of a blockbuster."

Wang Yongsheng carefully studied Pin Yudong's words and realized that this was really the case.

Zheng Yuanjie on the side was listening to the conversation between the two. He usually completed his creations alone. Now he has come into contact with this group of people from the Chinese Literature Society. They are all engaged in the cultural industry, but they have their own focus, division of labor and cooperation, and they seem to be full of vitality. , making him feel very fresh.
