1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 242 News

The fact that Lin Weimin sent the new novel to "Youth Literature" made the club a little uncomfortable.

Apart from "Speak Well", which was previously published on "Zhong Shan", this is the first time that Lin Weimin's works have leaked out since he joined the Guowen Society.

This can't help but make the editorial offices in the agency start to reflect on whether everyone is not doing well enough.

"Yeah, this time it's just to promote avant-garde novels! It's always published on the one-acre three-point land of our Chinese Literature Society. After a long time, the readers sometimes have to murmur. Why do you publish these things on your Chinese Literature Society? , Why didn't other publications publish it?

I really don't have other ideas, editor-in-chief, you have to believe my sincerity to our agency!I, Lin Weiminsheng, am a member of the Guowen Society, dead...

Okay, okay, then I'm going out! "

Lin Weimin came out of Mrs. Wei's office salivating, and when he turned around, he saw several other colleagues in the editing room walking nonchalantly in the corridor.

"Stop pretending!"

Only then did everyone get together, "You kid is really outrageous!"

After leaving Mrs. Wei's office, Lin Weimin is a man who is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Yao Shuzhi nodded again and again, "It's wrong, it's wrong. Like Weimin, you praised me hard. That person is so worthy!"

"He's from Xining."

"He's sure there's a problem, so the outsiders will reply to Random House and Xinchao Club."

Yao Shuzhi gave me a blank look, "He will talk nonsense. Anxiety is a courtesy."

Adding it up is not a full 18 meters.

On the other hand, Liu Yin hugged Shi Ping.

Guowenshe didn't feel a little trembling for a moment, "Oh, after hearing what you said, you've become a character!"

I looked into the window, and a few pagoda trees outside the courtyard were blooming.

Lin Weimin looked serious, "He thought you were joking with him?"

The Guowen Society calculated in their minds that 70 volumes were reprinted here in the United States. According to the standard of manuscript fees discussed later, it should be around 12 meters.Ni Hong printed 6 copies here, which is a seven-fold increase, and the royalties should be around [-] meters.

When they came to Cui Langxi's office, the Guowen Society asked, "Leader, what can I do for you?"

"Yo, you're back from being criticized?" Liu Yin gloated.

Lao Guo left, in July.
"The two bad news are about "Farewell My Concubine". Both Miguo and Nihong will reprint. The ratio of manuscript fees and royalties has changed. Do you have any opinions?"

"Look at the structure of your group of people. I'm not defecting to the enemy. This excites you."

"Zheng Guo, look at what he said. The wedding is a joint decision between you and Sister Liu. Besides..."

"A newcomer here?" Guo Wenshe said a few words to Meng Weizai, and saw a new face outside the office.

Cui Langxi nodded, what Lao Meng said was right.

"Hehe, his elder brother's spirit is really getting lower and lower now. Being able to keep printing it proves that his big talk has not gradually formed an influence. If it used to be more and more popular."

The Guowen Society glanced at Liu Yin in surprise, and your face was not a bit smug, "How is it? You guessed it right?"

At that time, when I saw the Guowen Society, I had a look of resentment.

"All here? What do you mean by all here?"

Meng Weizai introduced: "Da Zhu was transferred from "China Youth" to your "People's Literature". He has just been here for a few days."

"Then Shuzhi and Weimin already knew about it?" Liu Yin changed the topic to Guowenshe and Yao Shuzhi.

Returning to the editorial department again, Guowenshe hummed a big tune in a happy mood.

Cui Langqian interjected: "Besides, it's a wedding, but it means they use the gift, and the share money has to be paid. If it's wrong, then the banquet is still invited."

At the beginning of the letter, there is a thank you from Lao Guo's wife. You mentioned that the Guowen Society took care of our husband and wife when we were in Yanjing.

After saying a few more words, Cui Langxi returned to the front building.

"Sister Liu, you son of a bitch! It's because you treat me so badly in the future."

Liu Yin complained: "That sister Liu, it's a matter of my character."

Everyone looked at Guowenshe in unison, and I said in a panic, "That has something to do with you!"

Compared with publishing and publishing works in China, publishing overseas is indeed profitable.

"Then what's going on?" Xiaojia asked.

"The last work? When will this have to wait?"

Yao Shuzhi froze for a moment, her eyes wandered in all directions, and she looked at Cui Langxi as if asking for help.

The Guowen Society was surprised and said, "Is that so?"

Cui Langxi's heart sank.

"Nonsense, next time you win the Yanbing Literature Award, are you going to give me a bad compliment?"

There are only a few young people of the right age outside the office, and the Guowen Society guessed it immediately.

After joking with everyone for a while, Lin Weimin went to the editorial office of "People's Literature" again.

He took the letter from Young Master Zhai, it was very thin.

"something wrong."

Meng Weizai felt that Cui Langxi was fooling me.

"Shuzhi, what did he just say? An outsider from the two families? Sister Liu, am I an orphan? Where did the outsider come from?"

Hearing what Guo Wenshe said, Meng Weizai finally felt a little bad in his heart.

The Guowen Society hurriedly said: "You also happened to know. They knew that your time was good at that time, and they scolded that grandson like a dog. Originally, you wanted to tell Xiaojia, but when you think about it, do that Is it intentional to create conflicts? Or let Xiaojia know everything."

"For the people, he talked about it, he talked about it. Is sister Liu too much? I'm too picky. Marrying a daughter-in-law even has a wedding. If Shuzhi married in the past, It means that you will suffer more or less grievances."

"Where did you get the mail?" Guo Wenshe asked as he walked towards the door.

Seeing what Guowenshe and Yao Shuzhi said, the mood of the colleagues is not in a hurry. Xiaojia has come all the way, and there is no such reason, which is unforgivable.

"It's good to have such a room." The Guowen Society gave Yao Shuzhi a wink, "The old man is also trying to deceive the young family, mainly because he will be scared of him in the next few years!"

It's bad, it looks like it is.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

"Hehe, "Farewell My Concubine" has now become his eldest son's big coffers. In the history of your country, it seems like there is no author who has received a lower fee than him for a single work!"

Knowing that Yao Shuzhi has fallen in love with me, Xiaojia also sincerely congratulates her.

"This...Actually, Sister Liu, I...all outsiders from my family are here." Yao Shuzhi stammered.

When the Guowen Society handed over the manuscript of "Chasing the Murderer" to "Youth Literature", Meng Weizai should be the one who was most injured. Since the Guowen Society withdrew from the society, my old comrades have always been responsible for my manuscript.

Nian Zhong stood up and said, "Mr. Lin is bad, your name is Zhu Wei."

A bestseller must be a bestseller, but a bestseller must be a bestseller.

……

You told the Guowen Society in the letter that Lao Guojian is going away, not in the next few days.In addition to the news of Lao Guo's death, Lao Guo's wife also mentioned that Gu Hua went to Xining to see Lao Guo in July last year, and Lao Guo was very unhappy.

However, the Guowen Society only published the work "Farewell My Concubine", counting that reprint, it has not exceeded 25 meters.

The office was filled with voices of denunciation against Sister Liu, and Yao Shuzhi was terrified to hear it.

You took Yao Shuzhi's hand, "Silly girl, he will really save money for Grandet, sister Liu."

Yao Shuzhi was sweating when Xiaojia saw her, and pointed her finger, "They asked me!"

"So suddenly? Why did you hear him mention it later? When will the wedding be held?"

Guo Wenshe showed a pleasant expression on his face, "Yo, the handwriting is getting smaller and smaller!"

Xiaojia looks at you.

"Just this one time, the probability is too high to be ignored."

"A little happy event? Whose little happy event?"

"That's where it's going to be. The next time I printed another [-] copies, it took half a year to reprint it again. You can even reach the end of the best-seller list, right?"

At that time, Lin Weimin poked his head out from the door, "Weimin, come here."

It may be an exaggeration to say that a book exceeds the lifetime income of a literary giant, but half of his life should be gone.

The letter was written by Lao Guo's wife.

The silence caused by Sister Liu just now in the office has not yet died down, Liu Yin asked in four hexagrams: "What's wrong? Make him feel like that?"

Guowenshe looked at the letter and was silent for a long time.

"Oh, that's it!"

"Is he eating? Is it eating?"

The impact of this sudden popularity is also difficult to last, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a writer.

"It's done, so let's invite the outsiders of the two families to have a meal together."

Yao Shuzhi's face was a bit shy, "Well, I've finished receiving the certificate."

"You even gave us white flour steamed buns!"

"you……"

Teacher Lin felt very distressed by this!
Cui Langqian scolded with a smile: "Virtue!"

The Guowen Society said helplessly: "Actually, Sister Liu's eldest son has an outsider who has something to do, so he has everything covered."

When Sister Liu came to Xie Mingqing to revise the manuscript, she lived downstairs in the editorial department. My family was very sympathetic to my situation. The little family can't understand the suffering.

Guo Wenshe got up and joked loudly to Yao Shuzhi: "Remember to ask their sister Liu to invite you to dinner later."

"The old comrade wants to be so emotional! If the first work is handed over to him to review!"

Guowenshe walked to the table with a smile and saw a pack of wedding candies.

The Guowen Society knew about Sister Liu's situation, so they didn't respond to that incident.

"Youth Literature" is indeed not enough to compete with the Guowen Society. For "People's Literature" and "Contemporary", "Harvest", "October", "Flower City", and "Zhongshan" are the opponents in their eyes.

"If he wants to say that, you will be worried after eating the wedding candy."

The Guowen Society shook hands with Zhu Wei with a smile, and said, "Bad, the team has grown stronger again!"

"That's what can tell him."

"Okay, it's Zheng Guo who understands you!" Guo Wenshe gave Liu Yin a little thumb.

"Looking at his reaction, what if he received the manuscript fee again?"

"The leader | leader loves you deeply, and is responsible for it!"

Cui Langxi had a candy lump in her mouth, put her hands in her pockets, and looked up at the sky.

"For the people, there is no registered mail from him!"

The two exchanged a few words, and Liu Yin pouted in the direction of my desk, "Look, there is no happy event in your editorial department today!"

Liu Yin asked, and other people outside the office also said that they have their eyes on you.

That money, why is it just spent and spent?
Cui Langxi walked back to the desk with the letter in her hand, Liu Yin saw that my expression was bright, did she tease me anymore.

As Guowenshe said, he stuffed a piece of candy out of his mouth, then frowned and said fault-findingly: "Cui Lang is really good at his family, even when he gets married, he knows how to buy some little white rabbits, and he has to make hard candy, so don't worry. Teeth!"

"The elder asked you for too much letter paper!"

The Yanbing Literary Award is a literary award established in accordance with the will of Mr. Shen Yanbing. The total amount of bonuses donated by the old man is also over 77 yuan, which is the manuscript fee that the old man has saved in his life.

"Zheng Guo, can he hope that you will be a little bit bad?"

Liu Yin gave me a blank look, "You can see that he can get along with Si Ni. He matched the two of us, so of course he talked to Sister Liu!"

Are there any cases in the publishing industry where a book became popular? Whether it is domestic or overseas, such examples are easy to find, but most of them are short-lived, and they are still steady and steady.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then there was a lot of curses in the office.

"The US side plans to print 70 copies, and Ni Hong's side plans to print [-] copies. He is going to make a fortune!" Lin Weimin said with a smile, and at the same time his eyes flashed with envy.

I laughed and said to Yao Shuzhi: "What's the matter, are you right? It's all from their sister Liu's heart!"

"It's slow, slow, does he still know your efficiency?"

"Yes, yes, Cui Lang, I will be very miserable in the future."

I immediately turned my attention to Yao Shuzhi, "What's the matter? Your sister Yao is getting married?"

Cui Langxi picked herself up with a few words, with a look on her face that you were all bad for Xiaojia.

Everyone looked suspicious, "Is that really the case?"

In the next few days, the big treasury just spent a small amount, and it immediately made up for it.

"What a coincidence?" Guowenshe asked in surprise.

Liu Yin suddenly said again: "Wait a minute!"

"It's quite a coincidence. But did you really think that his novel could be sold so badly in the country? It's not the seventh time it has been reprinted in the US. According to that trend, his novel This "Farewell My Concubine" is likely to become a bestseller!"

Guo Wenshe nodded knowingly, Sister Liu's family is really cautious.

Liu Yin smiled and said, "It's true that you hoped that he would be bad. In fact, you have seen Mrs. Wei who praised him when she came to him."

Guowen Society and Yao Shuzhi were joking, and the atmosphere in the office was lively.

The two were chatting when Mr. Zhai from the mailroom knocked on the office door.

Guo Wenshe said with a smile: "Zheng Guo, the wedding was a matter of discussion between the two of them. Your sister Yao is a virtuous and virtuous person who always cares about the inside and the form, and that is a good match for sister Liu." Well!"
