1980 My literary era

In 1983, Lin Weimin gained a lot of limelight.

"Cliff" premiered on CCTV on New Year's Day. The twenty-episode length broke the record for Chinese TV dramas, and its ratings were even better. As long as there is a TV in the house, when the lights are turned on at night, the channel that the knob is turned to must be CCTV, and the TV broadcast must be "Cliff".

During the days when the TV series was broadcast, many street police stations reported that there were obviously fewer security cases at night than before.

The heroine of the TV series Zhu Lin is a real newcomer, and she became the most popular actress in China overnight.

Not to mention the actor Tang Guoqiang, who was originally a well-known movie star. His accent lines and costumes in the TV series have become a trend across the country and are popular among thousands of people.

Then came the first issue of "Contemporary" in 1983, which mainly promoted new writers, new works and new styles. It also led the trend of the moment and promoted the literary genre of "avant-garde literature" to the eyes of domestic readers for the first time, and won the love of countless readers. and sought after.

In order to promote avant-garde literature, Lin Weimin took great pains. Not only did he publicly write articles in "Literary News", but he also specially wrote a book "Chasing the Murderer", which provided the most classic annotation for his definition of avant-garde literature.

"Chasing the Murderer" has been published for half a year and has not yet been published. However, the current issue of "Youth Literature", which published this novel, changed from the previous sales of 20,000 to 300,000 copies per issue. It took three months to achieve sales of over 100,000 copies. Thousands of amazing results.

This novel is regarded as the most perfect avant-garde novel by countless literary lovers. Even though Ma Yuan's "The Temptation of Gangdise" is stunning, it does not detract from the brilliance of "Chasing the Murderer". Some fans published articles in newspapers. Said: ""Chasing the Murderer" is the brightest pearl in the crown of avant-garde novels!"

"Horse Trapper", which was published almost at the same time as the first issue of "Contemporary" in 1983, was published in the supplement of "People's Literature". On the day it was launched, it directly stole the limelight of the main publication, and the sales volume of the current issue of "People's Literature" was ranked at Rubbing on the ground.

Subsequently, the publication of "Horse Trapper" set a record for the number of subscriptions for novels published by domestic writers, reaching an astonishing figure of half a million copies.

In the middle of this year, good news came out about the reprinting of "Farewell My Concubine" published by Nihong and the United States. The news that Lin Weimin's novel earned sky-high royalties from overseas publishing spread not only throughout the domestic literary world, but also to many ordinary people who don't read books. Got it all.

In addition, Lin Weimin stepped on the tail and squeezed into the advisory committee of "Dream of Red Mansions". At a young age, he entered the room and was on an equal footing with a group of famous people.

Looking back on this year's experience, Lin Weimin realized belatedly that he seemed to have been a little too popular.

In particular, the publication of articles in "Literary Newspaper", sky-high royalties, and consultants for "Dream of Red Mansions" probably triggered the sensitive nerves of many conservative colleagues.

Fatty Guo Hei is right, there is naked hatred only between peers!

Even thinking about it, Lin Weimin felt that he was hated by others.

It’s so damn irritating. You’re young, handsome, can write, and sell. How can you not be angry?

Lin Weimin, who was idle all day long, could only enjoy himself in misery.

After only three days at home, Lin Weimin couldn't stand it any longer.

I always feel that I am too busy at work and have no time. Only when I have more time do I realize that there seems to be nothing worth wasting time on.

When I was thinking about what to do today.

"Dang Dang Dang!" There was a knock on the unit door, and Lin Weimin was wondering. He now lives in an apartment on Tuanjie Lake, and very few people know.

Opening the door, he saw Qu Xiaowei and Zheng Guo standing at the door with their wives and children.

"You are so good. You even moved without saying a word. I went to Shichahai to look for you twice but there was no one there. I went to Renyi to look for Zhuangzhuang, and then I found out you were here!"

Qu Xiaowei held the dishes in both hands and squeezed in the door while talking.

I put down the dishes and sat on the chair by the door to rest for a while.

Several other people came in and said hello, then took a look at Lin Weimin's house.

"Why are you here?" Lin Weimin asked.

Qu Xiaowei said: "Come here and see you, so I don't have to look at you again."

His wife Liu Haiyan couldn't help but come over and beat him twice, "You tell all kinds of jokes, it's not the right thing to do."

The construction standards of Tuanjiehu Apartments are much higher than the standards of family buildings built by most units these days.

After Yao Shuzhi investigated the house with her big belly, she said to Zheng Guo: "This house is really nice!"

Zheng Guo spread his hands and said: "It's good, but we can't afford it."

Yao Shuzhi didn't know much about Tuanjie Lake and asked, "Weimin, how much did you spend on this house?"

"Thirty-eight thousand!"

Yao Shuzhi didn't react after hearing this. She was stunned for a while and then asked again: "Thirty-eight thousand?"

Lin Weimin nodded.

Yao Shuzhi looked him up and down and muttered: "No wonder I want to use you as a target, you are so hateful!"

"Hey, hey, I said Comrade Yao Shuzhi..."

Qu Xiaowei smiled and said: "You are so rich! I remember that these two houses were sold for 400 yuan per square meter at that time. Your household is 38,000 yuan, which is enough for many people to work for a lifetime!"

"One lifetime is not enough, two lifetimes are almost the same." Zheng Guo said faintly.

Liu Haiyan laughed and said, "Okay, don't arrange it for him."

After the joke was over, everyone got serious.

"How's it going? Are you still getting used to staying at home these days?" Qu Xiaowei asked.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it better not to go to work?" Lin Weimin said harshly.

Everyone's expressions were meaningful. If such a big thing happened, just pretend.

"How is the editorial department now?" Lin Weimin asked Yao Shuzhi.

Yao Shuzhi moved her position. She was now a month old, and it was very troublesome to move her position while sitting.

"The working group came in the morning when you left. First, they couldn't find anything they were looking for, and then they started looking through the manuscripts you reviewed.

I also heard them discussing that they wanted to study your novel that day. It sounds like these people have not read your novel very much, and they are ready to divide the work and work together, and each person will read a chapter..."

Lin Weimin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Is this going to be a blind man touching an elephant?"

Everyone was also amused by this working method.

Yao Shuzhi said: "After looking at it, we thought it was Hu Gan. Lao Meng has had two quarrels with them in the past two days. I heard that Lao Yan made several calls and went to the top to look for him, but he was not asked to leave."

The working group that Lao Yan did not get rid of even though he came forward must have a lot of background behind it. Everyone understands this truth.

So I was even more worried about Lin Weimin.

Yao Shuzhi came today with the tasks given to her by Lao Meng and Lao Tan.

"You've been staying at home honestly lately, but don't be in the limelight outside."

"knew."

Lin Weimin replied somewhat annoyed.

Zheng Guo said at this time: "For the people, I told my father about your situation yesterday..."

Lin Weimin waved his hands hurriedly, "Stop, stop, stop, don't involve your dad in this matter. Now I guess whoever gets it will be covered in fish, and you won't be able to get away with it!"

"It's okay, I just want to help with a few words." Zheng Guo said.

Lin Weimin shook his head. Now it is no longer something that can be solved by just saying a few words and relying on favors.

If it really could be solved through human kindness, Lao Yan and Lao Meng were both of high rank and seniority, and they were close colleagues, so why didn't it work out?

Obviously the opponent is very determined.

Qu Xiaowei asked: "Why don't we ask Mr. Wan to help?"

As soon as he asked this question, Liu Haiyan scolded him. Qu Xiaowei was puzzled, "Why are you scolding me?"

He followed Liu Haiyan's eyes and saw a calligraphy hanging on the wall of the living room. The old man's "Man Jiang Hong" was signed by Mr. Wan and dated not long ago.

Obviously, Lin Weimin must have met Mr. Wan for this matter.

Lin Weimin said: "I met the teacher some time ago. He was going to publish an article in the newspaper, but I stopped him."

"Why? Mr. Wan's article must be useful, right?" Qu Xiaowei looked confused.

"It's not as easy as you think. Do you still remember what Lao Jiang told us about his experience of being criticized a few years ago?"

Qu Xiaowei nodded, "Remember, wasn't Lao Jiang criticized for more than half a year? Thanks to Mr. Chen for speaking for him."

"Then what?"

"Then……"

Qu Xiaowei looked thoughtful, but after a moment he remembered and said, "That's right. Mr. Chen was also attacked because of this, and finally alerted the Chief Assistant..."

"That's right, if it hadn't been for the instructions from the Chief Assistant, I'm afraid Mr. Chen would have suffered a lot that time as well."

Qu Xiaowei finally understood that Mr. Chen's status in today's literary world was no lower than Mr. Wan's. His words for Lao Jiang at that time did not have the final say.

This time, the Chinese Literature Society failed to resist the arrival of the working group, which shows that the person behind the dissatisfaction with Lin Weimin must also be a big boss. If Mr. Wan comes forward at this time, it may not have miraculous results.

On the contrary, you may be dragged into the water and become the target of criticism from interested people.

Thinking of this, Qu Xiaowei couldn't help but shook his head.

His head hurts just thinking about these intrigues!

"Now what?"

Lin Weimin spread his hands, "What can we do? Let them struggle first!"

Everyone was a little depressed after hearing this. Now it's like letting others beat and scold you without fighting back. It makes everyone feel uncomfortable!

Zheng Guo looked admiring, "I didn't realize it before, but it was only at the critical moment that I saw that he still has the demeanor of a general for the people."

Qu Xiaowei was not sarcastic this time and said, "That's true. Ever since he entered the Literary Research Institute, I've seen that this guy is no ordinary person."

When Liu Haiyan heard what he said, she couldn't help teasing: "Oh? Where did you see that?"

Qu Xiaowei had a look of reminiscence on his face, "On the day of the tea party at the beginning of the school year, this kid was about to sign autographs, and in front of Mr. Chen, Mr. Wan and other seniors, he dared to openly hawk. From that moment on, I knew that this kid was a blessing. A man of great destiny. If he had left others alone, the things he had done would have been enough to get in!"

Everyone burst out laughing!

Lin Weimin also laughed, even though he was the protagonist everyone was laughing at.

It is at such moments that the importance of friends is revealed.

Qu Xiaowei and the others came with two large bags of ingredients and chatted for a long time. When it was time to eat, they naturally started to move.

Except for Yao Shuzhi, a pregnant woman who was still sitting on the sofa waiting for dinner, everyone joined the battle.

It took a little effort to prepare a large table of delicious dishes, and Lin Weimin raised his glass.

"I'm not going to work anyway, so I'm open to drinking today!"

Qu Xiaowei said quickly: "I'm sorry you're not going to work, we have to get up early tomorrow!"

"It's just the same class for you two. Does it matter whether you two are in the same class or not?"

Lin Weimin's eyes were stern, and what he said was almost exactly the same as what he said to Hua a few months ago.

In future generations, Teacher Lin would be considered professional discrimination.

What happened to the cultural center at work?

Have you eaten your rice?

Chapter 3 has been reviewed. I have something to do in the morning. I will revise it in the afternoon and see if it can be published.
