1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 247

The PEN will probably be hosted by the publishing house or the editorial department. It is best to find a few units with the ability to receive the writers, and pull the writers to the scenic spots to gather, including food and accommodation, plus sightseeing.

For the organizer, being able to recruit powerful authors means being able to book good manuscripts and surpass competitors in the short term.

It is a great honor for an author to be invited to participate in PEN, which shows that his writing has received attention and recognition, and his work has a high chance of being published.

But for "Contemporary" and Guowen Society, including the writers they invited, the situation is slightly different.

"Contemporary" has never been short of manuscripts. At the beginning of its publication, Guowen Society mobilized the whole society to organize "Contemporary".

In just a few issues, "Contemporary" has established a firm foothold in the field of domestic literary publications and firmly occupied the forefront position.

Then, Lin Weimin appeared, this young man was amazing.

Obviously, he wasn't even the editor of "Contemporary" at the beginning, but he had the ability to stir up the situation.

Because of his appearance, the sales of "Contemporary" and "People's Literature" are increasing day by day, and their influence is also growing.

"Contemporary" now receives thousands of manuscripts every day.

And the writers invited by "Contemporary" this time, whether they are long-established seniors or rising stars cultivated in recent years, are well-known for their creative strength, and there is no need to worry about having nowhere to publish their works.

The difference is only in which level of publications it is published on.

On the platform of Yanjing Railway Station, a group of people were waiting. Wei Junyi looked at his watch with a somewhat impatient expression on his face.

"This Lin Weimin, the work agency has been handed over to him. It's time to leave, but he hasn't arrived yet."

"It's almost there, it should be almost there."

The editor-in-chief Wei Junyi led the team in the "Contemporary" Novel Creation Seminar, while the editor-in-chief Qin Chaoyang and deputy editor-in-chief Lin Weimin came from "Contemporary", and the rest were from the editorial department. Several key editors, Rong Shihui, Zhu Changsheng, He Qizhi, Zhang Zhonge, Liu Yin and Yao Shuzhi.

A large group of troops arrived at the train station early and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Lin Weimin.

It must be known that he is in charge of handling the pen meeting this time, if he misses the train, it will be very difficult.

"Here we come! We come!" Several editors waved at the entrance.

I saw Lin Weimin waving to everyone with one hand and pushing a wheelchair with the other. On the wheelchair was a tall young man with a dark complexion.

Qin Chaoyang said: "The one in the wheelchair should be Shi Tiesheng, Weimin said yesterday that he will pick him up in the morning."

Wei Junyi nodded.

At this time, Lin Weimin pushed Shi Tiesheng to the front of everyone and introduced Shi Tiesheng to everyone. Several colleagues cast interested eyes on Shi Tiesheng.

Shi Tiesheng's earliest acquaintance with "Contemporary" was in the second issue after its publication, and his article "Professor of Law and His Wife" was published in the second issue.

After saying hello, the train is about to leave, but fortunately it is not a holiday.

Everyone lined up to get on the bus one by one. When it was Lin Weimin's turn, he asked Zhu Changsheng to help him tilt the wheelchair forward, and then he squatted down.

"Tiesheng, grab my shoulder."

Shi Tiesheng held Lin Weimin's shoulders tightly with both hands, and Lin Weimin wrapped his hands around his thighs, exerting force on his waist and legs, and immediately carried Shi Tiesheng on his back.

Shi Tiesheng is tall and has a big frame, but he doesn't have much flesh on his body. This is one of the aftereffects of his long-term illness.

"You've eaten all this meat for nothing!" Lin Weimin teased.

Shi Tiesheng laughed and said, "Isn't this to make it easier for you to carry it on your back?"

The two were joking, and Lin Weimin carried Shi Tiesheng into the car.

Lin Weimin carried Shi Tiesheng onto his berth.

"I'll give you this soft sleeper, just make do with it."

"It's not interesting to stay here, it's more crowded." Shi Tiesheng said.

There were a lot of people here this time. Wei Junyi, Qin Chaoyang, and Lin Weimin were all cadres above the 12th level. The units bought tickets for soft sleeper tickets, while the others were for hard sleeper tickets.

"Then I'll carry you there and come back after you finish talking."

"I'll be right there."

"Be more comfortable here, it's almost 20 hours all the way."

Lin Weimin persuaded Shi Tiesheng not to insist.

The two went to the hard sleeper compartment where their colleagues were. This place was much more lively than Lin Weimin's four-person room. When the two came, everyone was still chatting excitedly.

As an editor, it's normal for people from all over the world to collect manuscripts, but it's all hard work, far less chic than participating in the pen meeting.

This time, a group of nine people from the editorial department came out, and the colleagues who stayed behind in Yanjing were almost crying.

"Come, come, everyone, try our braised chicken feet." Liu Yin enthusiastically took out food to share with everyone.

"Teacher Yan is such a good man, he can even cook so well!" Yao Shuzhi praised after tasting a bite of chicken feet.

Liu Yin's husband is Yan Gang, who is also a colleague, and now works as an editor for "Literary News".

At the beginning of this year, "Literary News" asked Lin Weimin for the manuscript, which was made by Yan Gang through Liu Yin.

With chicken feet in his mouth, Rong Shihui took out a bottle of Erguotou out of nowhere, and touched He Qizhi's beer bottle.

"Old Yan is ingenious, he helped make the sofa in our office!"

Everyone chatted, Shi Tiesheng asked Lin Weimin to take out the things he brought from the bag, Lin Weimin put the things away, "My uncle brought you a lot of things!"

"A poor family's rich road, you must bring some dry food along the way!"

Lin Weimin was carrying a bag of tea eggs, at least twenty, "What do you call that?"

"Isn't there still everyone here?"

Shi Tiesheng smiled and distributed the tea eggs to everyone, and Lin Weimin also got one.

Yao Shuzhi gnawed on the tea eggs and asked, "Wei Min, you didn't bring anything?"

"What do you bring?"

"Eat?"

Lin Weimin shook his head, "Why do you bring that thing, just buy some when you're hungry."

Lin Weimin, who is used to taking the high-speed rail in later generations, did not have the habit of bringing food when taking the train. Yao Shuzhi said, "Why don't you say that he is a rich person, just bring a wallet when you go out."

Lin Weimin said: "You, you, you really learned bad things from Zheng Guo. Now you dig and search all day, you know how to calculate."

Everyone laughed, and Yao Shuzhi rolled her eyes at Lin Weimin fiercely.

The train gradually left the urban area of ​​Yanjing. Looking at the open world outside the train window, everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed and chatted along the way.

"Just now I saw someone watching Wei Mindeng's "Pursuing Murder" on "Youth Literature" on the train!"

"Changsheng, your eyes are too good, don't you? Once you pass by, you can see clearly?"

The topic unknowingly jumped to "Chasing the Murderer". After these few days of fermentation, the influence of "The Murderer" has been initially revealed. The colleagues in the editorial department have already read it under the Amway of Zhu Changsheng and Yao Shuzhi. This novel, but everyone has not publicly discussed this novel together yet.

Just when everyone was chatting in full swing, two girls knocked on the side door of the carriage, and everyone looked over.

The two girls looked a little shy, "Hello, teachers, we are in the next car, and I overheard what you said just now, is Teacher Lin Weimin here?"

Everyone looked at Lin Weimin, he got up helplessly and said, "I am Lin Weimin, what's the matter?"

The two girls immediately became excited and asked in disbelief, "Are you really Mr. Lin Weimin?"

Lin Weimin looked at everyone, "It should be, anyway, that's what everyone calls me!"

His joke made the two girls laugh, "Mr. Lin, I'm so glad to meet you, we would like to ask you to sign for us, can you?"

Lin Weimin nodded, "Of course."

The girls immediately handed out the books they were holding in their arms, "Thank you, Teacher Lin!"

It can be seen that the two of them are indeed Lin Weimin's readers. There are four books handed over, one is "Youth Literature" just released this month, and the other three are "Farewell My Concubine" and " The Wind" and "The Man on the Horse".

"Ms. Lin, these novels of yours are really good!" When Lin Weimin signed, the round-faced girl complimented.

Lin Weimin joked, "Oh? What if we pick the best one?"

The round-faced girl thought about it, "I think it's "Farewell My Concubine"."

"What about you?" Lin Weimin asked another girl.

Another girl replied: "I think "The Murderer" is the best!"

Lin Weimin was slightly surprised, "Why do you say "Chasing the Murderer" is the best? In the past few days, I have been hearing people around me say that this book is too difficult to understand."

"It's good because it's difficult to understand. Some writers will write mysteriously in order to pursue the so-called style, but Mr. Lin, your "Chasing the Murderer" is not like this. All the narratives in this novel are for the sake of the novel, and it also constitutes the novel.

Every time I peel off the cocoon, none of it is superfluous.Only readers who have truly read and understood this novel can understand the shock and despair contained in the novel.

This kind of turbulent feeling like overwhelming mountains and seas is something I have never felt when reading your other works.Of course, your other works are not bad either.

It's just that I think, relatively speaking, the sensory and psychological stimulation brought by "Chasing the Murderer" has left a deep impression on me, and it is a feeling that is enough to be remembered for a lifetime. I remember the last time I had When I felt this way, I still read Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence". "

The girl kept talking about her views on "Chasing the Murderer", which shows that she really likes this novel.

Lin Weimin was very happy, and said with a smile: "Put me and Maugham together, you think too highly of me!"

"In my heart, Mr. Lin, your talent is not inferior to Maugham."

Lin Weimin was a little embarrassed to be praised by girls, mainly because there are so many colleagues and friends behind him.

"And... I think the greater role of your novel is to set an extremely standard and classic example for the new style of avant-garde novels. I have read your speech on avant-garde novels at Yanjing Normal University before. Your works not only cover the characteristics of the avant-garde novels you mentioned, but also raise the pattern of avant-garde novels to a new height.

Although there is Ma Yuan's "The Temptation of Gangdise" in front, I still think that your "Chasing the Murderer" should be called the pioneering work of avant-garde literature! "

Yo!

This is really meeting a diehard fan, Lin Weimin really blushed when he was praised this time.

At such a young age, the little girl is truly pure-hearted and has a unique insight.

　The second is later.Just want to slow down, the child has a fever, alas.
