1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 488 Do you still lack lackeys?

Zhou Shanhu, the editor-in-chief of "Yellow River" magazine, whose pen name is Shanquan, was a student of the first batch after the establishment of the National Academy of Arts, and he has some connections with Lin Weimin.

Of course, Lin Weimin was not stunned when he saw his name, but because of the name mentioned in Zhou Shanhu's letter.

He read a few lines of the letter, and then glanced at the manuscript. The title of the book is "Golden Age".

After reading Zhou Shanhu's letter again, Lin Weimin put the things down and let Tong Zhonggui go to work first. He carefully asked about the specific situation of the manuscript.

It turned out that the person who came was Ding Dong, a friend of Wang Xiaobo. He came this time purely to help his friend contribute articles and see if they could be published or published.

"Contemporary" was not the first publication that Ding Dong left. He left many publications, but many editors rejected the manuscript without even reading two pages.

There are also some editors who appreciate Wang Xiaobo's works, but his works are too extreme in terms of emotion, and no one dares to use them.

Some time ago, the manuscript was submitted to the "Yellow River" magazine. Zhou Shanhu wanted to publish the novel manuscript after receiving it, but the editorial department had great opinions and could not publish it.

So he wrote a letter to Wang Xiaobo, advising him and suggesting that he get it published in a magazine with a stronger background.

Lin Weimin couldn't laugh or cry when Ding Dong said this. He dared to say that "Contemporary" received this manuscript because of the hard background.

"Our "Contemporary" is a publication under the Guowen Society. You don't know what the Guowen Society represents, right? The background is hard, but in some respects the taboo is deeper." Lin Weimin said to Ding Dong.

"Of course I know that. But the question is, aren't you the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary"?"

Ding Dong's words made Lin Weimin feel very ironic. This is probably the attraction of great writers.

"A novel like "Lover" can be published on "Contemporary", so why can't "Golden Age" be published?"

Lin Weimin:? ? ?

The good impression of Ding Dong in my heart disappeared in an instant, this person looks really hideous!
Like "Lover"?which kind?which kind?Tell me, what's wrong?
Mine was a pure love story, a novel for serious people.

What is this that you brought, this is a romance novel!
Lin Weimin pinched the edge of the manuscript with his fingers, complaining wildly in his heart.

Those who have seen "The Golden Age" should know the amount of pornography in this thing, but Wang Xiaobo is really awesome, and the writing is really good.

In fact, it is very simple to judge whether a novel is SQ literature, as long as the description in it is purely description, or conveys other information through description.

If it is the former, it is vulgar SQ literature, and if it is the latter, it is not SQ literature, but QS literature.

These four words look exactly the same, but reversed order, the meaning is very different.

The connotation of "Golden Age" is far beyond what QS literature can summarize. The novel's questioning of human nature and concern for living conditions are the most commendable.

After a moment of silence, Lin Weimin decided to forgive Ding Dong for the sake of the novel.

"How about this, put the manuscript with me first, and later you ask your friend to come to the editorial department, and I will talk to him."

"Can novels be distributed?" Ding Dong asked.

"This needs to be discussed." Lin Weimin said.

"What's the point of discussing this? Look at what is popular in the literary world today? Scars, reforms, root-seeking, and reflection. It seems that novels can't be written without a layer of skin.

It is conceivable that the level of this group of writers and these works, compared with my friend's novels, they are not shit. "

Ding Dong sat there talking nonsense, Lin Weimin couldn't help but look at him with admiration, he looked like an old cynic.

After all, this should be regarded as the first batch of lackeys under the sect, right?
"Do you think that the publication of the novel is just a joke? After leaving so many magazines and publishing houses, you don't know the difficulty and risk of publishing this novel?" Lin Weimin said bluffing.

Ding Dong was intimidated by his aura, just now Ding Dong was so unscrupulous just because he wanted to talk, but now he became serious, Ding Dong didn't dare to do it again.

"All right, I'll let him come over tomorrow."

"Okay. In addition, you can tell him that you can bring any manuscripts you have in your hand."

Lin Weimin's words made Ding Dong's face reveal a bit of secret joy. It seems that Lin Weimin appreciates Xiaobo's novels very much!
Ding Dong happily left the Guowen Society, and was about to go to Wang Xiaobo to tell him the good news, but suddenly he remembered the scene in the office just now in his mind.

Lin Weimin didn't seem to read the manuscript?

Immediately, he put down the idea again.

Xiaobo's novels are so awesome that one glance is enough. Didn't he just read them twice?enough!

After Ding Dong left, Lin Weimin handed over the manuscript to Tong Zhonggui, "Let's review this manuscript, and write more detailed review comments."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Tong Zhonggui took the manuscript and immediately recognized that it was the manuscript sent by the person just now. Based on his understanding of Mr. Lin, he must be very optimistic about this manuscript.

Tong Zhonggui carefully read the manuscript.

After a while, he blushed and looked down, the dick was hard.

Teacher Lin asked me to read it, what kind of novel is this!
As a socialist five-good youth, Tong Zhonggui instinctively rejected this manuscript that made him feel unwell, but for some reason, his hands continued to flip through the manuscript, and his eyes greedily stared at the words on the paper uncontrollably .

After reading another page of the manuscript, he raised his head guiltily and scanned the surroundings.

Fortunately, no one found out.

Tong Zhonggui scanned the crowd, then lowered his head and continued to read the manuscript.

"Little Tong!"

With a sudden cry, Tong Zhonggui shivered in fright. He raised his head, his cheeks were rosy, his breathing was a little short, and his eyes were panicked.

"Yao... Sister Yao, what's the matter?"

"What manuscript did Weimin send you just now?" Yao Shuzhi asked.

Tong Zhonggui's heart skipped a beat, this was the question he was most afraid of, "It's...it's nothing, it's just educated youth...well, a novel that reflects the life of educated youth."

When he said this, he glanced at the manuscript with a guilty conscience, so... there should be nothing wrong with it, right?
"Really? Go back and read it and show me."

Tong Zhonggui swallowed, is this something you can see?
"Um...um, good!" He agreed with a grunt.

After reading it, quickly return it to Teacher Lin. If Sister Yao wants the manuscript, let her go to Teacher Lin to ask for it.

Lin Weimin didn't know, he handed over the manuscript of "Golden Era" to Tong Zhonggui casually, what kind of emotional ups and downs it caused in this young chicken.

In the afternoon, Tong Zhonggui endured his anger and finished reading the novel, then finished the review comments with difficulty, and returned the manuscript to Lin Weimin.

"Don't give it to me, pass it on to everyone."

Tong Zhonggui took the manuscript back to the editorial department with a look of embarrassment, and handed it to Yao Shuzhi, "Sister Yao, Mr. Lin said to let everyone circulate it."

Yao Shuzhi immediately became interested when she heard it, "I said he came to deliver the manuscript in person, there must be something to say."

She happily accepted the manuscript, and within 2 minutes of reading it, Tong Zhonggui heard Yao Shuzhi spat hard.

His eyes swept over, and Yao Shuzhi glared at him.

Tong Zhonggui is more resentful than Dou E, so what does it matter to me?
The next day, a haggard young man walked into the editorial office of Contemporary.

The first impression of everyone in the editorial department was that he was so ugly that they didn't even notice him.

But this person was warmly invited into the editor's office by Lin Weimin.

"Xiao Tong, is he the author?" Yao Shuzhi asked.

Tong Zhonggui nodded, "It should be him, Mr. Lin said to let him come to the editorial department for a chat today."

"I really didn't see it. He doesn't look very good, but he thinks pretty." Yao Shuzhi teased.

"Actually, actually..." Tong Zhonggui stammered, and finally said: "I think the novel is actually very well written!"

Yao Shuzhi gave him a blank look, "I didn't say that his writing was not good. It's just that some places are too explicit. Obviously, we can be more reserved."

"Golden Age" has been circulated in the editorial department since yesterday, Tong Zhonggui and Yao Shuzhi only finished it, and they are the editors with the most say.

"Maybe... this just happens to be his style!" Tong Zhonggui said.

"I think it's the style you men like?" Yao Shuzhi sarcastically said.

Tong Zhonggui blushed when he was told.

Liu Yin, who was reading the novel at the side, said in a tone that had experienced many vicissitudes: "You are young, you are full of energy, and you must have a channel to vent."

When Liu Yin said this, Tong Zhonggui's face turned even redder, as if he was talking about himself.

Liu Yin and Yao Shuzhi couldn't help laughing.

Molesting young chickens is the biggest hobby of some married lesbians.

Wang Xiaobo is 36 years old this year. He is not good at speaking and shy. When he was a child, his family even suspected that he was mentally ill and called him "stupid boy".

He followed his wife Li Yinhe to study at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States in 84. He just returned to China this year and is now a teacher at Yanda University.

While studying in the United States, he wrote "Stories of Tang People", which is an antique novel based on several Tang legends. In 89, his second sister spent money to find a publishing house to publish it for him, and printed 4000 copies. The editor specially changed the title of the novel to attract people's attention, and it became "Secret Stories of the Tang Dynasty".

At this point in time, "Stories of the Tang Dynasty" has not yet been published. Yesterday, my friend Ding Dong approached Wang Xiaobo and told him that the editorial department of "Contemporary" intends to publish his "Golden Era". Lin Weimin also specially invited him to the editorial department for a detailed discussion. Very much, I brought the manuscript of "Tang People's Stories".

As for "The Golden Age", this novel has been written since 82, and it is actually still a semi-finished product. Wang Xiaobo has been revising it since it was finished.

Being warmly welcomed into the office by Lin Weimin, Wang Xiaobo was very nervous.

He especially likes Lin Weimin's "Lover". He read this novel no less than five times when he was in the United States. He once told his wife Li Yinhe that he knew the art of modern novels only after reading "Lover".

Now that Lin Weimin was face to face, he didn't know what to say. After sitting down, he stayed there dumbly, looking fixedly at the floor of the office, as if he was waiting for Lin Weimin to speak first.

Lin Weimin looked at him for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

"Your novel..."

When Wang Xiaobo heard his voice, he focused his attention on him and looked at him.

"The content is a bit sensitive."

Wang Xiaobo nodded, "Yes!"

"It's not easy to operate!"

Wang Xiaobo nodded again, "Yes!"

Lin Weimin frowned, this man is not very good at CPU!
Since the road was blocked, Lin Weimin decided to change direction.

"Otherwise, publish and publish together!"

Wang Xiaobo Gujing Wubo's expression finally showed a slight change, "What do you mean?"

"Your novel, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to publish it after it's published. But if it's published first, thousands or even ten thousand copies will be exhausted, and it won't have much influence. It's better to operate the publication at the same time. thing, double insurance."

The expression on Wang Xiaobo's face became vivid, and he asked excitedly, "Is it really possible?"

"The trouble is definitely a little troublesome, but it's not impossible to operate."

Wang Xiaobo read a bit of pride from Mr. Lin's face.

Because his novels were too unrestrained in some aspects, he tried many times but couldn't publish them. Now someone finally agrees to publish them.

Wang Xiaobo looked up at Lin Weimin standing there, and wanted to ask a question from the bottom of his heart.

Mr. Lin, do you still lack lackeys?
