Chapter 390 Fang Minghua rejects the manuscript

However, after hearing what Fang Mingli said, Fang Minghua felt relieved.

We've known each other for several years, so we're quite familiar with each other, and it's not just a matter of impulse.

In fact, Fang Minghua is not too worried about financial problems. With his elder brother as a strong backing, he is still worried about his sister's financial problems in the future?

As long as the man’s family doesn’t ask for too much, that’s fine.

So Fang Minghua expressed his opinion, generally speaking, this young man is okay, but sister, you'd better find out how Liu Jianjun's parents are in the village, how their health is, whether they have any serious illness, what his sister and brother-in-law do, and what bad habits his brother-in-law has. .

Fang Mingli grimaced after hearing this, but she still nodded in agreement.

In fact, there is no need for Fang Mingli to inquire. If she really wants to marry her girl to this Liu Jianjun, her parents, including herself, will have to find a way to inquire about the situation of the family.

Anyway, Chang'an is not far away.

This matter has come to an end for the time being, and I have accepted this prospective son-in-law. Of course, I will have to observe it later.

"Editor Fang, is everything okay in Luyuan?"

"Okay, let me take a look."

Fang Minghua made a cup of Longjing and sat comfortably on a chair. Not long after, he heard a knock on the door and saw Bai Miao walking in with a smile.

"Not bad. How is the situation in the unit?"

Opening the door with the key, I saw that it was clean and tidy, there was no dust on the table, and the water in the thermos bottle was not even full.

On Monday, Fang Minghua had to go to work, so Song Tangtang drove to work early in the morning. Fang Minghua first rode his daughter to her grandfather's house, and then rode to his workplace.

Fang Minghua casually picked up the proof manuscript and flipped through it. The first thing was the editor's recommendation column. When he saw the title of the novel, he was stunned.

What the hell!

At night, Fang Minghua and his wife took care of their children to sleep. They lay on the bed and talked about the day's events. Song Tangtang said quietly: "Minghua, you see your sister is younger than Lili. Now she has a partner, and Lili is still single. ,Why."

"Looking at what you said, I think you did a pretty good job."

The two chatted for a while and then got down to business. This is the proof of the August journal. The novel in the editor's recommendation column needs your review to see if there are any overall problems. If not, it can be printed. "

Fang Minghua was speechless.

not bad.
Before leaving, he left a key behind and gave it to Bai Miao to arrange for someone to clean it.

Doesn't this thing depend on fate?

After entering the magazine compound, Fang Minghua walked around saying hello, then sat at President Huang's place to give a report, and then returned to his office.

"It's normal. I'll feel more relaxed when you come back."

"Show Your Tongue Coating.", author Ma Jian.

On Sunday, Fang Minghua drove his two children to the zoo to play for a long time. The two little guys watched happily, pointing at the animals with their chubby little hands and making noises.

Looking at the content again, it tells the story of the author Xizang in the form of a travel note.

Isn't this the same novel that made Liu Xingwu make a mistake?
At that time, Liu Xingwu, as the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature", published this novel in the journal, which violated ethnic policies and was forced to resign.

Why did you choose "Yanhe"? !
If this peat thing is published, you will be in trouble!
Seeing Fang Minghua's sudden change in expression, Bai Miao asked, "Editor Fang, what's wrong?"

"This novel is inappropriate." Fang Minghua looked serious, pointed to the title and said, "It must be taken down! Replace it with another article!" "Remove it? I think this novel is quite well written, with first-class writing and a very harmonious style. The new realistic novel you recently advocated is close to me, why should it be withdrawn?”

"Bai Miao, it doesn't matter what style of novel it is, what matters is the content! I won't say whether this novel is good or not, but the content has crossed the line and violated national unity. The political impact must be considered and it must be removed!"

To be honest, even if Fang Minghua didn't know about Liu Xingwu, looking at the content of this novel, he couldn't publish it.

The bottom line has been exceeded.

I don’t know what Liu Xingwu was thinking at that time?

Fang Minghua thought in his mind.

Bai Miao was a little disapproving after hearing this. Although some plots in the novel were indeed a bit over the top, it wasn't over the top, right?
"Editor Fang, we have already written to the author to tell him that the article has been accepted, but why is it suddenly withdrawn?"

'"Continue to pay him the royalties and write a letter to apologize and explain why it cannot be published!"

Fang Minghua's words were unquestionable. Bai Miao hesitated and said, "Editor Fang, if this novel is removed, what novel will be used in the editor's column? I'm afraid it's too late to find a new one."

"No, I have a poem here that can be used as the editor's recommended column." After saying this, Fang Minghua took out a poem manuscript from the drawer and handed it to Bai Miao.

It was "Using Dreams as Horses" written by Haizi!
Bai Miao read it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Fang Minghua: "Is it appropriate for the editor-in-chief to recommend a poem?"

"Let me ask you first, how is this poem?"

"It's very good. It's full of heroic and romantic colors. It's not a popular spoken-word poem in the poetry world." Bai Miao was pragmatic.

"That's good! Just recommend him! I'll review it right away."

Although Fang Minghua is quite easy-going in private, he often speaks his mind at work.

Opinions can be reserved, but they must be implemented!

"Okay then, I'll write to the author named Ma Jian right away and return the manuscript."

"Yes, especially the reason for rejection!"

Fang Minghua's meaning is very clear, stop making random submissions and causing harm to other magazines.

After Bai Miao left, Fang Minghua began to write the editorial review of the poem "Dreams as Horses".

The poet Haizi demonstrated the relationship between poets, poetry, language and the motherland with full passion, reaffirming the unique mission of poets and poetry.

The artistic conception of this poem is broad and far-reaching, permeated with the life passion of a martyr. The overall structure is rigorous and tough. The contradictory ideologies and emotions are dialectically entangled with great tension. It embodies the innocence of a Chinese poet. Performed vividly.
Haizi's masterpiece.

There is a style of Qu Yuan's "Li Sao", which is Haizi's "Li Sao". "I must fail, but poetry itself and the sun must triumph" is the final declaration.

Kusuhara
Forget it, delete the last comment.

After writing the review, Fang Minghua carefully read the proofs and other articles. If there were no problems, he called Bai Miao to come and pick them up.

Just let this minor storm pass and strangle it in the cradle.

Fang Minghua thought so.

But what he didn't expect was that the author named Ma Jian received a rejection letter from "Yanhe" magazine and was disapproving, even very unconvinced.

Isn't your "Yanhe" magazine claiming to "let a hundred flowers bloom"? I just sent it to you, but I didn’t expect you to be as timid as a mouse!
"If you don't publish it, it doesn't mean that others won't publish it!" So I sent it to another very influential magazine, People's Literature.

Like a miracle, Liu Xingwu, the editor-in-chief, actually passed the review!
History seems to be moving forward slowly along its original trajectory.
