1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 292

In early April, the April 1984 issue of "People's Literature" was listed as scheduled.

Without warning, a novel with bandits fighting bullies as the main story on the publication became popular.

This novel neither keeps up with current events and styles, nor has fancy writing and narrative methods. It can be said that the writing method is simple and unpretentious, but the writing is sophisticated and the story is vividly depicted. In a short period of time, it has received countless readers love and admiration.

At the beginning, everyone was naturally attracted by the gimmick about the real name "Lin Weimin" of the character "Six Sons" in the novel, and naturally connected this novel with the writer Lin Weimin who was criticized and attacked a while ago. Together.

For several months, various newspapers and magazines bombarded Lin Weimin, as if they wanted to put him to death. Although there were many negative effects, there were also positive effects.

That's when Lin Weimin became famous all over the country again.

When the media headed by "Yanjing Youth Daily" began to rectify Lin Weimin's name, many people knew about it.

Oh, it turns out that this writer was wronged.

For ordinary readers, the news in the newspaper probably has the same effect on them.

Therefore, in the novel "Rooting Officials", there are plots such as "the six sons whose real name is Lin Weimin" appear more in the mentality of watching for fun.

Lin Weimin began to receive letters from readers forwarded by the editorial department of "People's Literature" in the past few days. He did not expect that the filth he threw towards the opposite side hurt himself before hurting others.

"Lin Weimin, nicknamed Liuzi, godfather Zhang Muzhi, was born in the 12th year of the Republic of China. He died at the age of 18. He has always been fond of fans."

Liu Yin read aloud the contents of a letter from a reader, and all the colleagues laughed, and the atmosphere in the office was filled with joy.

Rong Shihui sighed: "For the people, for the people, do you call yourself clever but you are mistaken by your cleverness?"

He Qizhi said: "No, I think it should be said that hurting others first hurts oneself."

After speaking, he asked Zhu Changsheng on the side, "Oh, that's right. What is the name of a fist in Jin Yong's novel?"

Zhu Changsheng held back his laughter and said, "Seven Injury Fist, hurt yourself first, and then hurt others."

He Qizhi clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad, this move for the people has won the essence of boxing!"

Lin Weimin dismissed the wickedness of these people and piled up the manuscripts in his hand with a "bang bang".

"We call it popular, and I don't understand if I tell you."

Old antiques in the 80s, if they live long enough, they will probably understand what a "stalk" is.

Everyone laughed and ignored Lin Weimin.

On the contrary, Tong Zhonggui, who was standing aside, said solemnly: "Now in our school, the most discussed among the students is Mr. Lin's novel."

As soon as everyone became interested, they hurriedly asked, "Oh? How do your classmates discuss it?"

Tong Zhonggui thought for a while, and said: "The most discussed part at the beginning must be the part where the six sons eat fans. Many people thought it was absurd at first, but the biggest feeling was still scary."

"Why do you feel terrible?" Liu Yin asked.

"Because it reminds people of the old society that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones." Tong Zhonggui turned his attention to Lin Weimin and asked, "Mr. You seek justice and accuse the villains of smearing you, but you are actually telling a different story."

Lin Weimin asked with a relaxed expression, "What story?"

"The story of Taizu leading the people to conquer the world!" Tong Zhonggui's eyes flashed brightly, "Mr. Lin, I have always wanted to ask you, is this really the case? Is there really such a deep meaning behind "Rooting Officials"? "

The laughter in the office has subsided. Even the college students can see the deep meaning and connotation. How can colleagues not see it?

It's just that everyone never asked Lin Weimin, because everyone felt that since Lin Weimin insisted on writing the story in an obscure way, he must have his own intentions.

As for Lin Weimin, he held a cup of tea with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

What the hell can I mean? What does it have to do with me?If you have the ability, go find Jiang Wen!
However, Lin Weimin's later generations have also read articles on the Internet that randomly interpret "Let the Bullets Fly", so when writing the novel, he also deleted and revised all the metaphors that were too sensitive and easy to be misunderstood.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers. Every work is different in the eyes of different readers. This is not because of the work, but because of the people who read the work..."

There is a proper term in Buddhism called "playing machine front". In layman's terms, it means bullshit, which is probably Mr. Lin's current state.

After a long speech was published, Tong Zhonggui was completely convinced.

Through this conversation, he was greatly inspired. When Mr. Lin created the novel "The Robber Official", he might have thought about ten points in his mind, but after writing it, it became seven points. Five points, and after those of us as readers read it, we will probably be able to understand the intention of Teacher Lin for three points.

This is not a matter of Mr. Lin's writing skills, but the consideration of readers' feelings and the external environment.

Mr. Lin's thoughts are really not something ordinary readers like us can guess!

Compared with Tong Zhonggui's biased listening and partial belief, the veterans in the editorial department are not so easy to fool.

The more Lin Weimin explained, the more convinced everyone was.

If this kid wanted to scold people, he would never have spent such a long time writing such a novel.His swearing is swearing, but there must be a deep meaning in it.

Everyone has heard from Lin Weimin that he read Taizu's poems more than once. After Yao Shuzhi and Liu Yin went to Lin Weimin's house, they also talked about Taizu's "Man Jianghong" hanging on the living room wall of Lin Weimin's house.

Through various clues, everyone can be [-]% sure.

Lin Weimin should be a fanatical believer of Taizu. He wrote the novel "Rooting Officials" to scold those who attacked and smeared him for the superficial reason. His real purpose is to popularize Taizu's thoughts.

Tsk tsk, this kid, don't look at the surface and laugh, he is really deep in his thoughts!

At the same time, in the cafeteria of Yanjing Normal University.

"Who do you think this martial artist is?" Zhang Jianjun asked.

A boy with small eyes said thoughtfully: "I think, on the surface, Mr. Lin should be scolding the writer Wu Ruiping who published an article attacking him in the newspaper before, Wu Wu's pronunciation is similar.

But if we really look at it carefully, this martial artist should represent those bureaucrats and warlords in the former Qing Dynasty. He is powerful, cunning, and at the same time wants to please everyone. "

The analysis of the small-eyed boy made everyone nod their heads.

"What about Huang Silang?"

"Do you need to ask? Teacher Lin is scolding the "Literary Review". Huang Silang's family has two dogs. One is called Gongdao and the other is called Minxin. Hehe, do you remember those two articles in the "Literary Review"? "

Everyone laughed.

"What about the alluded person behind it?"

"Who else can there be, Chang Kaishen! According to the novel, Huang Silang used to be a revolutionary, and he can speak fluent English."

"No, no, I think it should be Yuan Gongbao. Stealing the fruits of revolution, superficially democratic, but actually a dictatorship."

"I don't think Yuan Gongbao is suitable. There are too many things that Chang Kaishen can match up with. Look..."

While talking, two people raised the bar, and the others looked at them with great interest, eating while watching.

During the period after the publication of "Rogue Officials", you have seen such scenes countless times and participated in countless times, but you always enjoy it.

Finally, when both of them said they were tired and the food in the lunch box was cold, they stopped.

Only then did Zhang Jianjun sigh with emotion: "Mr. Lin's novel really becomes more and more profound the more I read it!"

At this time, someone retorted: "Who said this novel was written by Mr. Lin? The author's name is clearly Zhang Muzhi!"

After hearing this, everyone showed a malicious smile.

Zhang Jianjun suddenly said: "Yes yes yes, Zhang Muzhi, Zhang Muzhi, look at me, I am completely confused!"

Everyone couldn't hold back their smiles any longer, and burst out laughing.

Obviously I want to write a novel to swear at people, but I have to use a pen name.So many characters in the novel use pseudonyms, but a "six son" who was wronged to death has to use his own name. This is purely disgusting to those people!
But to this group of student readers, Mr. Lin's behavior seems to be full of stubbornness and cold humor that belong to literati.

Mr. Lin is really interesting.

Ten months after the publication of "The Story of the Pirate Official", the aroused popularity has gradually formed a trend, especially as to who was insulted in the novel and who attacked Lin Weimin in the first place, and what historical figures were alluded to behind it, it has become countless. Topics discussed by readers.

Under this trend, coupled with the continuous positive reports about Lin Weimin published by the media all over the country.

The negative impact on Lin Weimin caused by criticism, attacks and smears in the past few months has completely disappeared. On the contrary, Lin Weimin's reputation has been spread more widely because of the two tides of public opinion.

When it was almost May, Lin Weimin went to Mr. Wan's house to have a meal.

The turmoil was completely over, and the two were in a good mood. At the same time, Mr. Wan told Lin Weimin another piece of good news.

Six months after Arthur Miller returned to the United States, the American version of the play "Untouchable" will be performed on Broadway next month.

"This is really good news!" Lin Weimin said happily.

Mr. Wan asked, "How is it? Do you regret not accepting his invitation? If you had gone to the United States last year, you might not have had so many troubles."

Lin Weimin shook his head, "I don't have any regrets, the United States is not a paradise. I was just scolded for a few days, and it's nothing compared to what you suffered back then, teacher."

Lin Weimin's words pierced Mr. Wan's heart, "You, don't pretend to be with me. Do you think I haven't read your novel?"

Lin Weimin scratched his head, "Hey, it's all about venting!"

While chatting, Mr. Wan suddenly asked: "How is the talk with your girlfriend?"

"It's still the same, she is still working in Zhijiang for the time being."

"Young people, it's not a good thing to always separate the two places." Mr. Wan sighed, and then asked: "Shall I ask for you and transfer to the counterpart unit in Yanjing?"

Lin Weimin was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he said, "I don't need to bother you, teacher. I can figure out a solution for this matter myself."

Mr. Wan is now in his seventies, and Lin Weimin couldn't bear to let him go through the back door with others for himself.

"Alright then!" Mr. Wan said with some disappointment.

After a while, while Mr. Wan was going to the toilet, Li Yuru whispered to Lin Weimin, "He felt a little uncomfortable because he didn't help you before."

Lin Weimin felt sore after hearing this.

After Mr. Wan came out of the toilet, Lin Weimin said with a smile: "By the way, teacher. I heard that your "Sunrise" is going to be adapted into a movie?"

"How did you know?"

"My brother-in-law turned out to be the director of the Shanghai Film Studio. You can ask me later to see if my novel can be adapted into a movie."

Mr. Wan glanced at his wife and said, "You pretend I don't know? There are too many directors who want to adapt your novel, and I haven't seen which one you agree to adapt?"

"Hey!" Lin Weimin laughed and said, "Those are unreliable grass-roots teams!"

Although he saw through Lin Weimin's petty thinking and felt relieved, Mr. Wan still said, "Don't be afraid of losing me, old man. You young people will always grow up. It's just that you are growing faster and don't need my support anymore. gone."

"Look at what you said, I have to bear the banner of your disciple at all times, and I have to swagger everywhere I go!"

Mr. Wan said: "You better not ruin my reputation!"

After speaking, the teacher and the student laughed.
