1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 250 Everyone Talks About Lin Weimin

In the audience, the name "Lin Weimin" was very popular.

But Wei Junyi didn't mention his name. He appeared as an editor today, and he couldn't steal the limelight from the writers.

Next came Lu Yao, who talked about the birth process of his masterpiece "Life".

He talked about the first time he went to Yanjing to revise the manuscript, about the all-night long talk with Lin Weimin and Gu Hua in the back building of the Guowen Society, about Lin Weimin's encouragement for him to write this novel, and about Lin Weimin's fear of his health. I deliberately went to the Ganquan County Guest House to visit him...

All extraordinary births seem to have somewhat extraordinary beginnings.

When everyone heard that Lu Yao said that Lin Weimin had taken him from the Ganquan County guest house to the guest house in the back building of the Guowen Society and locked him in a small black room, they burst into laughter again.

This kind of anecdote between literati and poets has always been a topic of great interest to ordinary people and literature lovers.

Lin Weimin in the audience felt that Lu Yao should talk about his going to Baiyun Temple on stage.

Let this guy accept some criticism from the people.

When it came time to raise their hands and ask questions, many people asked about the film adaptation of "Life".

Since last year, many newspapers have reported this news, and readers are full of expectations. Lu Yao replied that the movie is expected to be released by the end of this year, and the auditorium once again burst into applause.

The applause this time is dedicated to the movie "Life". In the 80s, movies are also an indispensable form of entertainment for people.

After Lu Yao stepped down, Wei Junyi called the name "Shi Tiesheng" amidst everyone's shouts.

Shi Tiesheng was a little embarrassed, but under Lin Weimin's persuasion, he took the stage.

The audience in the audience didn't realize that the handsome young man who pushed Shi Tiesheng onto the stage was the "Lin Weimin" they had just called their favorite.

Shi Tiesheng appeared in front of the public in a wheelchair. After he took the stage, the audience seemed to enter a state of compassion.

Although "My Distant Qingping Bay" is a short story, it has a great influence. Many domestic literature lovers know that in Yanjing, the capital of the motherland, there is a writer named Shi Tiesheng who has both legs disabled.

Shi Tiesheng was silent on the stage for a moment, and then said relaxedly: "Everyone seems to be very moved and sympathetic to a disabled person who can be on the stage like today."

"Actually it's not necessary."

"In the first few years when I was ill, I often wanted to rush over with explosives and die with them because of the strange eyes that others looked at me or some unpleasant words.

Now if something like this happens again, I may respond to them with pity, or with disdain.

I have analyzed myself many times. Is this change due to necessity, or am I really detached from the world?
In fact, I can't explain it myself, but my friends say that I have become free and easy and tolerant.

So, whatever, this change is a good thing anyway. Among my friends, I have gradually become a 'saint'. "

When Shi Tiesheng said this, he laughed first, followed by the audience below.

They felt the open-mindedness, calmness and optimism of the writer on stage.

"After "My Distant Qingping Bay" was published in "Contemporary" and became popular, the situation became more and more exaggerated.

People came to ask me my views on love, whether I should break up with my girlfriend, whether that man is a good marriage partner, what is the meaning of life, and how should I choose between ideals and reality.

God poor!

They don't know that two years ago, I was just a poor boy who was running around the streets and alleys of Yanjing in a wheelchair for the welfare subsidies for the disabled.

It seemed that when I became disabled and wrote a book, my spiritual character was suddenly sublimated.

I never revealed it, and maybe many of my friends don't know it, but I'm actually not comfortable with this way of getting along.

What I prefer can be roughly described as a 'fellow friend' or 'friends with wine and meat'.

It's like serving the people..."

Shi Tiesheng glanced at the audience, then continued with a smile, "Weimin treats me the most special among friends."

"His main job is editing, so every time he comes to my house, if it is to discuss literary creation or manuscripts, he will discuss with me meticulously from an editor's professional perspective, and he has also reviewed my manuscripts. More than once.

But when he was with me as a friend, we might talk about women, football, mutton, or his enviable, insane royalties.

Cheesy topics can bring people closer together, and metaphysical discussions are more suitable for today's occasion.

Sorry, what I said today may be a bit cheesy!

But I really want to say that it is precisely because of the vulgar communication and getting along with friends that I gradually become peaceful and open-minded.

Well, now that I've said this, everyone should probably understand the reason why I am open-minded and tolerant.

A word to everyone: make more friends. "

After Shi Tiesheng finished his speech, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

Although he doesn't admit it, he has such a magical power that many people like him when they first meet and are willing to open their hearts to him.

The question-and-answer session ended, and Wei Junyi next clicked on Gu Hua.

In the past two years, "Furong Town" and "The Wooden House Covered with Ivy" have been published one after another. He is also a hot young writer in the domestic literary world.

After he finished speaking, a questioner asked: "I want to know, what Lu Yao said, you, Lin Weimin and Lu Yao slept in the same dormitory that night, besides what Lu Yao said, what other things did you talk about?" Didn’t the topic burst out a lot of inspiration?”

This question aroused the curiosity of many audience members present, and everyone looked at Gu Hua on the stage in unison.

Gu Hua scratched her head with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Actually, if you really want me to tell you, I really don't remember much!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

The three unknown writers met again after a few years, and they all became famous writers. This is an exciting story in itself.

Shouldn't the past events of the year be vividly remembered?

This sense of contrast makes everyone laugh.

Gu Hua reluctantly recalled, and continued: "At that time, Weimin and I were still training in the Institute of Literature, and we seemed to talk about the fact that he was going to make an album for "Contemporary" to see if we could stay in "Contemporary" 》Work, I said I envied him for having such an awesome teacher as Mr. Wan. In short, as Comrade Tie Sheng said just now, it was very vulgar.

Of course, we also touched on the topic of literature.Only, I don't remember. "

When he said this, everyone laughed again.

In people's imagination, what great writers get together to talk about should be high-level, non-human topics.

But when you really understand it, you know that everyone is the same.

Amid everyone's applause, Gu Hua stepped off the rostrum.

Wei Junyi glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. He bumped into the leaders of the Ludong Cultural Association, intending to let the leaders of several parties present speak, and then end today's exchange meeting.

But at this time, the audience below quit.

"Lin Weimin!"

"Lin Weimin!"

Among the audience who came today, many of them are loyal readers of Lin Weimin.What's more, there are so many writers on stage just now, I don't know if they did it on purpose, almost everyone mentioned Lin Weimin's name.

The hearts of the audience are hooked by these writers, as if a hundred cats' paws are scratching, itching and disturbing.

There was a lot of discussion under the rostrum, Wei Junyi shook his head, this kid's reputation is really getting bigger and bigger now.

She didn't ask Lin Weimin to take the stage because she was afraid that he would steal the limelight from the writers who came to the event today as an editor. It was going to be over anyway, and everyone's demands were so urgent, so she simply asked Lin Weimin to take the stage.

Lin Weimin walked towards the stage indifferently, and many people in the audience immediately recognized that the young man who pushed Shi Tiesheng onto the stage just now was the famous Lin Weimin.

"Hehe, everyone asked me to come up with such enthusiasm, and I don't know what to say. Today I am an editor, so I won't talk at all. Everyone can ask questions freely. I looked at the answers. The time is almost up. I just go down."

Lin Weimin has a handsome face, a tall stature, and a generous conversation. In just a few tens of seconds, he attracted the hearts of countless lesbians in the audience. Even many gay men couldn't help feeling envious when they saw him.

When the questions started, a young man in a blue Lenin suit got up and asked a very gossip question.

"Mr. Lin, it is said that your novels have been published in Miguo and Nihong, and you have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. I want to ask, is there really that much?"

The fact that Lin Weimin's novels were published abroad to earn rice knives has long been known in domestic literary circles, but many people still can't believe that he can earn so much money.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Lin Weimin to make money without revealing it. He said very simply: "Hundreds of thousands is a bit exaggerated, and 20 is still available."

The United States reprinted twice, and Nihong reprinted once. The manuscript fee Lin Weimin received these few times has indeed exceeded 20 yuan, and he has exchanged them into foreign exchange certificates and placed them in the People's Bank.

There was an uproar in the audience.

These days, not to mention the 20-meter knife, it is 20 RMB, which is out of reach for ordinary people.

In later generations, the media often say that ordinary people hate the rich, but this hatred of the rich is more about resource inequality, information asymmetry, and lawlessness behind the hatred.

Every penny of the money Lin Weimin earned was clean.

Not only no one will hate his wealth, but many young people regard him as an idol, and countless parents regard him as a role model for educating their children.

Chinese people are born with the gene of cultural worship.
