The literary era since 1979

Chapter 251: Yanjing TV Spring Festival Gala Appearance

After the final review, Fang Yan's task as artistic director was basically completed, and the subsequent rehearsals and recordings were handed over to the Spring Festival Gala production team of Yanjing TV, who were fully responsible.

All I have to do is watch the Spring Festival Gala quietly at home on February 2th, the Little New Year.

Before that, Fangyan was busy with another important matter.

That is moving.

The office building, dormitory building and other buildings in Madian have all been completed, and the editorial department of October plans to move there before the New Year.

Desks and chairs, filing cabinets, documents...

They were delivered to the new office location in truckloads.

Fangyan patiently sorted out the books and materials.

Which ones to take with you and which ones to take home.

"Global History", "World History", "Historical Research"...

Of course, there is no "Postpartum Care for Sows" in it.

Tian Zengxiang took a quick glance and couldn't take his eyes off, "My goodness, Yanzi, you read a lot of different books."

"No, I have learned so much knowledge."

Fang Yan shrugged and said that these were also specially prepared for the "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong" series.

"No way?"

Tian Zengxiang pulled out a volume from World History and said, "Do I need to read this when writing The Grandmaster Huang Feihong?"

"Old Tian, ​​it seems that you haven't read Yanzi's novel thoroughly yet."

Zhang Zhonge shook his head: "Didn't Huang Feihong mention that we should 'open our eyes to the world, but also look at the world straight'?"

"Teacher Zhang is right."

Fangyan said that his vision should not be limited to the country, but should be extended to China as seen by foreigners at that time.

Then he picked up the book "A Study of History" and said, "Let's talk about Arnold Toynbee, a British historian who experienced two world wars and visited China several times. He witnessed the rise and fall of the East and the West. He once made a prediction."

"What prophecy?"

Tian Zengxiang and others were full of curiosity and put down their work.

"He said that the prosperity of the Western world is ultimately due to technological progress. The cultural heritage is very shallow and has no vitality at all." Fang Yan laughed, "The Chinese have completely protected a super civilization. The hope of the world lies in China. Chinese civilization is the destination of mankind. Chinese civilization will eventually lead the world."

"Really!?"

"Teacher Fang, did Toynbee really say that?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised and happy, and there was an uproar.

"Of course! When China returns to the ranks of the world's technological powers, I believe the whole world will be grateful."

Fangyan looked around and said, "Thankfully, technology is in the hands of a true civilization."

When Tian Zengxiang heard this, he was excited and his imagination ran wild.

The picture is so beautiful that it is hard to imagine.

But we have already seen dialects, such as Chang'e 6.

Zhang Zhonge couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if our generation will have the chance to see that day?"

"Of course there is a chance!"

Fangyan cast a meaningful look, "By that time, we will also have our mission to revive Chinese literature and restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties..."

"Okay, Yanzi said it well!"

The more Tian Zengxiang, Zhang Zhonge and others listened, the more excited they became.

Even when moving house, I felt full of strength, as if I had been injected with chicken blood, and was full of energy.

………………

It took a whole day to move only two-thirds of it.

The remaining one third will be moved tomorrow.
At this time, Madian is remote and desolate, and it looks even more bleak and lonely in the cold winter.

This place was originally the "Zhumadian" of Yanjing. It was a distribution center for horse traders from outside the Great Wall to the capital in the early years, so it was also called "Madian".

It is a bit shabby now, but when it develops in the future, it will be the intersection of the three major business districts: the Central Business District, the Zhongguancun Business District and the Financial Street Business District. It will be hard not to be prosperous.

"Clap clap."

Su Yu clapped his hands, "That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work. I have a few announcements to make next."

"The first is that after the new year, we will set up our own publishing house in October!"

In an instant, everyone, including the dialect, was shocked.

I originally thought that the editorial department was simply moving, but I never expected that there would be an unexpected gain!
Because of its achievements in recent years, the literary world has called "October" the "Four Famous Dan Actresses" along with "Contemporary", "Harvest" and "Huacheng", and "October" is called "Qingyi".

Therefore, the Ministry of Culture considered separating October from Yenching Publishing House and establishing an independent publishing house to run its own business.

All of a sudden, it was upgraded from a department-level state-owned unit to a bureau-level unit, and its entire size and scale will increase exponentially.

In terms of departments alone, there will be more group work departments, editorial offices, publishing departments, distribution departments, and commentary departments...

Correspondingly, the number of employees and editors will increase dramatically, and the ranks and positions of cadres will also undergo a major change. Su Yu will still be the editor-in-chief of October, but he will also serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of the publishing house, and his rank will be promoted to the bureau level.

Zhang Shouren and Yan Ming were not only deputy editors-in-chief of October, but also the director and deputy director of the editor-in-chief's office.

As for the previous groups such as novels, essays, novellas, short stories, and literary theory, they will all be incorporated into the editor-in-chief's office.

The editorial office consists of the General Affairs Office, the Contemporary Literature Editorial Office, the Classical Literature Editorial Office, the Foreign Literature Editorial Office, and the Textbook Publishing Center.

Fang Xiaojiang has also taken a small step forward. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the director of the contemporary literature editorial department.

Full-time department level!
Together with Tian Zengxiang, the newly appointed deputy director, they will be responsible for the entire "October" literary magazine in the future.

Not only that, there is also a vacant position of deputy director of the editor-in-chief's office and editorial committee member, which are reserved specifically for him.

If I can pass this year's professional title assessment and be promoted from editor to deputy editor, I can get everything in one step. By that time...

What section level? Department level!
Fangyan smiled and said, who can resist progress?
…………

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."

Accompanied by bursts of applause, everyone present was cheering and celebrating, congratulating each other.

Especially He Xin, he really wants to improve!
Sui Lijun clapped her hands, but she noticed that Fang Yan and Tian Zengxiang looked unhappy, so she lowered her voice and asked:
"Master, Teacher Tian, ​​aren't you happy?"

"Of course I am happy, but..."

Tian Zengxiang looked at Zhang Zhonge who "gained nothing" and frowned. Even if Zhang Zhonge was responsible for the "Bitter Love" scandal, after so many years, it's time to make up for his mistakes, right?
Why not only does it not rise, but it keeps falling to the bottom?

But soon, the last piece of news announced by Su Yu made their worries and doubts disappear in an instant.

Zhang Zhonge was actually going to be transferred to "Contemporary" to serve as deputy editor-in-chief.

"Teacher Zhang, why didn't you tell us about this?" Tian Zengxiang's joyful tone was tinged with resentment.

Zhang Zhonge smiled and said, "It's just the beginning. I want to wait until the procedures are completed and things are settled before telling you."

"Why are you suddenly transferred to Contemporary Magazine?"

Fangyan was very surprised.

"It's the intention of the society and the department."

Zhang Zhonge gave a brief explanation and Zhang Shouren also added a few words at the appropriate time.

The main thing is that the deputy editor-in-chief of "Contemporary" will be transferred to October Literature and Art Publishing House, and "October" will also transfer one person there, which is equivalent to the two sides exchanging their capable personnel.

General Fang, of course, cannot be replaced.

This is the apple of the eye of the editorial department and even the publishing house.

Therefore, they could only choose one from among Zhang Shouren, Yan Ming and Zhang Zhonge. After careful consideration by Contemporary Magazine, Zhang Zhonge was chosen.

"That's right."

The dialect can clearly feel the festive atmosphere, which slowly turns into sadness.

Seeing that "October" was going to become its own company and everyone was about to make a further step forward, I didn't expect that an old member of the team would leave.

In just a few words, his words revealed his reluctance to leave.

"Okay, okay, it's such a rare happy day, let's not look so sad."

Zhang Shouren suggested that after the editorial office moved, they should find a restaurant before the New Year to hold a farewell party.

"That's what Shouren said."

Zhang Zhonge's nose was slightly sour, "Yanzi, you are the one who knows the most about food among us, please pick one for us."

Fang Yan nodded. As he was thinking, he heard Tian Zengxiang's voice:
"What day is it scheduled for?"

"How about the 5st?"

"Number 5 won't do!"

"Yes, that's right. The Spring Festival Gala of Yanjing TV will be broadcast on that day."

"This is the Spring Festival Gala that Yanzi helped plan. We can't miss this good show. We must show our support."

As he spoke, everyone's eyes were cast on Fangyan who was in deep thought.

Starting from the next day, newspapers such as the Yanjing Daily and Guangming Daily followed up on the recording of the Yanjing TV Spring Festival Gala.

"Flowers bloom in the home, happy Chinese New Year - 1983 Yanjing TV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on February 2."

"Yanjing TV has created a Spring Festival Gala that is close to the people, making the New Year full of flavor."

"The recording of the Spring Festival Gala of Yanjing TV has been completed. The program is wonderful and mysterious guests will make a grand appearance. Please look forward to it."

"..."

This was also Fangyan's idea. He asked Yanjing TV to invite several Yanjing newspapers to record the event and then promote it when he returned.

In fact, there is no need to hype it up. The effect is indeed good and far exceeded the expectations of those reporters.

A large number of reports, coupled with publicity on TV programs, successfully aroused the interest of the people of Yanjing, and even higher-level units such as the propaganda department and cultural department, and even higher-level figures.

Throughout the city, everyone who has a TV wants to see what the much-praised Beijing-Taiwan Spring Festival Gala will be like.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Bei Xiaonian.
