1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 197 Establishment of Status in the Society

"New Star", which He Yunlu took the initiative to send to the door, was extremely favored by the editorial department of "Contemporary" as a reform literary work, and was determined to be placed in the first issue of the magazine in 83.

After Lin Weimin's "Taomaren" was written, he was awarded "People's Literature".

After reading it, Xie Mingqing praised Lin Weimin for writing a masterpiece.

The other editors circulated to the editorial department also received good reviews. Even Wei Junyi, who has always been very strict with Lin Weimin, did not hesitate to praise him, and praised him well.

Getting everyone's high praise made Lin Weimin very happy for two days.

However, after the manuscript was written, the editor had read it, and even prepared to layout the page, there was still one major issue that had not been resolved.

The title of the book hasn't been decided yet.

outrageous.

For some reason, Lin Weimin felt a strong rebellion against the name "The Man Who Laid Horses", which was unanimously approved by the editorial department, and he didn't use it no matter what they said.

Fortunately, after a heated debate, the title of the book was decided.

"Horse Man".

In Xie Mingqing's mind, this name is far worse than "The Man Who Sets the Horse".

Having decided on the title of the book, all that remains is the issue of publication.

"Tao Ma Ren" is a tome with a length of 30 characters. It is true that "People's Literature" can publish novels, but 30 characters is indeed too much. It's all taken up, there is no other work.

The editorial department of "People's Literature" held a meeting to discuss and proposed two proposals.

One is to divide the novel into two and publish it in two issues.

Now the typesetting of the novels of the publication has been scheduled for November, and if "The Horse Man" is to be published, it can only be published in the December issue and the January issue of next year.

Arranged in this way, "The Horse Man" can be regarded as the highlight of this year, and it will also be the opening masterpiece of next year.In terms of the degree of emphasis, it is worthy of Lin Weimin, a popular writer, and the quality of "The Horseman".

Another option is to issue a supplement, which was proposed by Xie Mingqing.

"Let's be honest, Weimin's current level is already outstanding among the young writers in China. Every time the works are presented, both the story itself and the artistry are impeccable.

Our "People's Literature" has successively published several works such as "Farewell My Concubine", "The Wind", and "Speak Well", which can be said to have witnessed the growth of Weimin along the way.

but……"

When Xie Mingqing said this, his expression and tone became serious, "Have you noticed a problem? Is it unfair to compare Weimin's works with other authors? A child who has grown to adult size at the age of ten is put among the children and made them wrestle in a competition..."

Today is the pre-editorial meeting at the end of the month. The editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief, and team leader of various publications and editorial offices of the Guowen Society participated. Everyone fell into deep thought when Xie Mingqing said this.

When everyone was silent, Xie Mingqing continued: "And this is not the most important thing. Now, the page we vacate for him every year in our publication is enough to discover and cultivate a few more potential seedlings. It may be a bit wrong for me to say that. It is close to human feelings, but I think the existence of Weimin has indeed affected the excavation and cultivation of young authors in "People's Literature".

Kemin is a comrade of our Guowen Society, and the quality of his works is outstanding, so he must not let the rich water flow to outsiders.

To sum up, I think the way of using supplements is the most perfect way. "

After Xie Mingqing finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the conference table, took a sip of tea, and waited for everyone's feedback on his opinions.

After he finished speaking, colleagues really talked about it.

Lin Weimin is now not only a popular fried chicken in the domestic literary circle, but also a treasure of the Chinese Literature Society. Regarding the publication of his works, the priority of the Chinese Literature Society has always been very high.

Back when Lin Weimin hadn't become popular all over the country, the leaders of the agency overcame all opinions and gave him an unconventional fee standard, not to mention the fact that Lin Weimin has achieved such an achievement now.

Everyone just discussed without a charter. The editor-in-chief Wei Junyi who presided over the meeting clicked on Meng Weizai.

"Old Meng, Weimin is your soldier, come and talk about your views."

Meng Weizai smiled wryly, "I have nothing to talk about. What Lao Xie said makes sense. Weimin is growing up too fast now, and his creative energy is unusually strong. Putting him in "People's Literature" really bullies the children." feeling. I agree with him."

"Then you can't send supplements to this kid all the time, can you?"

Someone expressed everyone’s aspirations. Indeed, publishing supplements is not something that can be normalized. If you publish supplements for Lin Weimin alone every time, the brand of "People's Literature" will be somewhat dimmed.

Xie Mingqing was also a little worried. His method was okay once, but Lin Weimin could not use this method every time he released new works in the future, right?

In that case, wouldn't "People's Literature" be written by Lin for the people?

The impact is too bad.

What should I do?
"If it doesn't work, just publish it directly." Someone suggested.

"Isn't that a loss of royalties?"

Don't think that writers just treat money like dung, look at the correspondence between writers in the past, or the correspondence between writers and editors, just like ordinary people, most people care about it.

Lin Weimin's works were originally published in journals and then published, earning two manuscript fees.

Now if it is published directly, without the publication of publications, the manuscript fee will naturally be reduced.

"Then what should we do? You can't give him an extra fee, right? His standard is already very high."

Someone worried: "Publish directly, the manuscript fee will be reduced, and people will directly submit to other publications, and it will be difficult for the agency to say anything."

At this point in the topic, it seems to have entered a dead end.

Wei Junyi could only say: "Okay, let's talk about Lin Weimin first. According to what I just said, "People's Literature" will publish a supplement for "Tao Ma Man". Put it after the January issue of next year."

The layout and publication time of "The Horseman" has been decided, and there will be other works to follow.

In the morning, the pre-editing meeting of the Guowen Society was finally over.

"Old Meng, stay here for a while." Wei Junyi called to stop Meng Weizai who was about to leave.

Meng Weizai looked at her, "Let's go to Lao Yan's office."

Meng Weizai immediately realized that the matter he mentioned earlier should have progressed, "Okay."

People in the conference room walked out in twos and threes.

Xie Mingqing and Li Jingfeng walked together, still talking about half of the topics discussed in the meeting just now.

"In the future, it may become more and more difficult for the society to monopolize works for the people!" Li Jingfeng said with emotion.

Xie Mingqing said with a light smile: "It's unrealistic to want to monopolize, Weimin's reputation is getting bigger and bigger now. There are countless draft invitation letters and telephone calls from all over the country. If you can reject it today, there will always be some that cannot be rejected." Time, just like the last "Zhong Shan"."

Li Jingfeng nodded, "Indeed. No one would have guessed that Weimin seems to have joined the club for less than two years, right?"

"It's been almost two years. I entered "Contemporary" in October of the previous year."

"Young people are awesome!" Li Jingfeng sighed again.

As he walked, he said casually: "To a certain extent, today's meeting can be regarded as affirming Weimin's status in the society, right?"

Xie Mingqing paused, thought for a while, "It really is."

Xie Mingqing didn't finish what he had to say. He was the one who first raised the question about Lin Weimin at the meeting. In fact, it should not be to affirm Lin Weimin's status in the club, but all the editors of the Guowen Club affirmed Lin Weimin's status in the domestic literary world and his status. creative strength.

In late September, Han Zhuangzhuang finally came back.

"Farewell My Concubine" was performed in Shanghai for half a month, and this kid took the opportunity of a business trip to return to his hometown.After the performance, he took a few days off to spend time with his dad.

Just came back from Shanghai, Han Zhuangzhuang was very excited.

"How is your father? Is he in good health?"

Han Zhuangzhuang said with a simple smile: "It's all right. My dad was very happy when he heard that I was returning to Shanghai with the theater to perform. He kept praising me for my achievements. He even brought me to our factory that day, and mentioned it to everyone. Now I have entered Yanjing People's Art, and I was invited to perform in Shanghai with the crew."

"Your father is so beautiful!"

"Isn't it! It feels like walking is accompanied by wind."

Han Zhuangzhuang was talking, and took out a bunch of things from the bag he brought back, "Uncle, I bought these for you, and the things my dad asked me to bring back."

What he took out were basically Shanghai specialties.

These days, things in Shanghai represent quality, taste, and even more sincerity.

Han Zhuangzhuang went to Shanghai to perform this time, and the subsidy was paid out, covering his salary for more than a month, and he became more generous.

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, I know how to honor my uncle, thank you dad for me."

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, the uncle and nephew went to work separately.

Back home after work, Han Zhuangzhuang talked about Liang Guanhua and Song Dandan passing the screening period during dinner.

"Uncle, the two of them asked me to tell you that they would like to treat you to a meal."

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "Farewell. They don't make much money, and besides, I can't help much."

"Why didn't you help? The sketch teacher in "Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren" even praised them, saying that the arrangement was good, hehe."

Han Zhuangzhuang couldn't help laughing when he said that. During the final exam, he even ran to help out as a cameo, and he also received praise.

Lin Weimin didn't answer his words, and asked: "So, the two of them are considered actors of Renyi?"

"It's early. They just passed the screening period, so it should be regarded as an internship now, and it will take another two years."

"So strict?"

"That's right." When Han Zhuangzhuang said this, he looked at Lin Weimin with gratitude, "If it weren't for you, old uncle, I would have to take as much trouble as they do to enter Renyi."

"Don't flatter, acting well is the real thing!"

"That is required."

Han Zhuangzhuang patted his chest and promised.
