1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 356 The Flashing Picture

Wan Fang's words are quite correct, Lin Weimin's publicity is very big, how big is it?

Just after the [-]th, Lin Weimin was invited to the sea.

People's Hall, Yanjing Hall.

The specifications are not high, but the leaders who received them were not small. Elder Wan, who was very tall, was invited by the Cultural Association to serve as the honorary chairman of the Chinese Literature Foundation.

On the side of the Literary Association, several main leaders such as Balao, Zhang Guangnian, and Zhang Qi came, as well as several literary bigwigs, Chen Lao, Feng Lao and others.

Among the main donors, Mr. Huo Guantai from Xiangjiang and Mr. Ma Wanqi from Haojiang were present in person.

What Ma Wanqi donated was not money, but cars and houses. He provided office vehicles and office space for the Chinese Literature Foundation.

After careful calculation, the amount is actually not that much, but the important thing is the attitude of the people, who took the initiative to donate.

This made the comrades in the relevant departments very happy, and there was another target to absorb, so the comrades in the relevant departments also attended today.

In the hundreds of square meters of Yanjing Hall, there are only a few dozen people, which looks very empty and solemn at the same time.

Three media outlets came, one was "People's Daily", one was "Xinhua News Agency", and one was CCTV.

Today's event can be regarded as a press conference, as well as a face-to-face meeting. With the presence of elder-level leaders and the support of national-level media, the foundation's cards are in place.

When Elder Wan shook hands with everyone one by one, Lin Weimin was in the middle of the line.

"Writer Lin is really young! I heard that he is already the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary"?"

The people in front all smiled, shook hands and passed away. Lin Weimin didn't expect that Elder Wan would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Yes. The organization is willing to give opportunities to young people." Lin Weimin said with a smile.

"Okay! We need a young force like you in our team."

Elder Wan let go of his hand after saying this, and next was Mr. Ma Wanqi from Haojiang. Elder Wan also smiled and exchanged a few greetings.

Only then did Lin Weimin understand that this was preferential treatment for the donor.

After the official event, Elder Wan took a group photo with everyone, and then left first.

Wenxie is today's organizer, so everyone stayed behind to accept interviews from the three media one by one.

After the interview, Lin Weimin was asked to take a photo with the letter of appointment of the vice president of the China Literature Foundation in both hands, feeling a little ashamed.

Balao deliberately came over to find Lin Weimin, and said in an amiable manner: "I have been in Shanghai, and I heard from Zhang Qi that you have contributed a lot to the foundation. I thank you on behalf of the Cultural Association."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "They are all from my family, you are too polite."

Balao also laughed, "Not bad, not bad, my family, my family."

It was not yet noon when we came out of the sea, and Lin Weimin's Crown was parked at the gate of the sea, which was a bit eye-catching. Everyone came by bus, and he was the only one driving a private car.

Mr. Chen joked: "Xiao Lin deserves to be the richest man in our literary world. No wonder people say you are 'Lin Wanwan'."

"Lin Wanwan?" Lin Weimin was at a loss when he heard this statement for the first time.

Zhang Qi joked: "You don't know yet? It's spread throughout Yanjing City, my great writer Lin!"

When everyone heard this, Qiqi laughed, and Lin Weimin smiled helplessly and shook his head.

That night, the news of the establishment of the Chinese Literature Foundation appeared on the "News Network". It lasted for 30 seconds, and the scene of Lin Weimin shaking hands with Elder Wan flashed by.

"Why did it disappear so quickly?"

Tao Huimin stared at the TV for a long time, only saw it for a second or two, and said with regret.

"The broadcasts on it are all important national affairs, so I'll be fine if I can stay for two seconds." Lin Weimin chuckled lightly.

The next day, Tao Huimin woke up early, dragged Lin Weimin who was still asleep to the newsstand, and bought all the newspapers from several media outlets that participated in the event yesterday.

Xinhua News Agency is the national news agency, and it edits, publishes and publishes many newspapers and magazines.

Yesterday's event was published not only in "People's Daily", but also in heavyweight media such as "Guangming Daily", "Reference News", "Economic Information Daily".

"Why do you buy so many newspapers?"

"Look!" Tao Huimin was holding newspapers in her arms. She bought not only one copy of various newspapers, "I want to take them home!"

"What are you taking home?"

Tao Huimin's expression was a bit shy, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Show it to my parents!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help pecking her on the face when he heard the words, "Be more careful!"

Driving to work, Lin Weimin was surrounded by his colleagues when he arrived at the office.

CCTV, "People's Daily", "Guangming Daily", "Reference News"...

From last night to this morning, several national-level media reported, but anyone who pays attention to current affairs cannot fail to see the news of the establishment of the Chinese Literature Foundation.

On the list of members of the Chinese Literature Foundation, Lin Weimin's name is impressively listed.

Elder Wan, Elder Bal, Elder Chen, Elder Feng, Elder Lin Weimin...

At first glance, it will make people feel that something strange has been mixed in.

Everyone chattered around Lin Weimin for a long time, and Lin Weimin said impatiently, "Go to work! Go to work!"

There was a meeting in the club in the morning, and as soon as Lin Weimin entered the meeting room, he was ridiculed by several editorial directors.

"Yo, Vice President Lin is here!"

There was a bit of envy and jealousy in everyone's ridicule.

In the past, everyone was on an equal footing in the unit of the Guowen Society, and Lin Weimin was still everyone's junior. Although he was well-known outside, everyone still felt a little superior when they met here.

But it’s different now. Several heavyweight media have repeatedly reported that Lin Weimin has become the vice president of the Chinese Literature Foundation. It seems that he has no real rights, but just looking at the names lined up with him, who knows? Dare to despise him?

Suppose everyone has left the Guowen Society, or simply retired.

They introduced Lin Weimin, a famous writer and vice president of the Chinese Literature Foundation.Introduce yourself, famous editor, that's it.

This gap came out all at once.

Lin Weimin responded to everyone's ridicule with a smile, neither humble nor overbearing.

When the meeting started, the president Meng Weizai presided over the meeting.

The proposal for the revision of "Contemporary" was the first to be brought up.

Everyone has already heard about this matter. "Contemporary" sells more than one million copies per issue, and is one of the pillars of the agency. Now it is going to be revised from a bimonthly to a monthly magazine. If there is no subsequent decline in sales, it will double the sales , the benefits are naturally doubled.

Whether it is for "Contemporary" itself, or for the society, it is a good thing.

Even for other editing rooms, it is also a good thing.

After all, the benefits created by "Contemporary" will benefit every editing room in the agency.

Facts have proved that the revision of "Contemporary" has suffered a lot from the editorial staff, but everyone is very happy.

After the meeting, the revision decision was formally issued in the form of a document, which became the biggest event of "Contemporary" this year. The biggest change in the editorial department was the increase in staff.

The agency gave "Contemporary" three editorial positions, all of which were transferred from brother units, and the staff size of the editorial department suddenly expanded to 13 people, making it the largest editorial department in the agency.

There are still three months until January next year, and colleagues in the editorial department still have time to adapt to the accelerated pace of work.

Selected Books of Contemporary Novellas is officially on sale in the first few days of October.

The "Selected Contemporary Novella Series" published at the beginning of this year has sold out the first [-] copies in more than half a year, but the reprinted [-] copies are still on sale, so this time "Contemporary Chinese Novels" The first printing is still [-] volumes of "Selected Novels Series".

Originally, "Selected Contemporary Novella Series" should be published in January next year, but because this year is the year for the Yanbing Literary Award, several award-winning works will be born in December.

"Contemporary" will definitely publish a series of award-winning works in January, so there will be a conflict between the two, so "Selected Contemporary Novella Series" can only be released in advance.

At the same time that "Selected Contemporary Novellas" was on the market, the October issue of "People's Literature" was also quietly placed on the shelves of major bookstores and post offices across the country. It was also placed in a prominent position.

After more than two years, "People's Literature" published Lin Weimin's novel again.

"The Great Ming Dynasty 1566" is a tome of more than 40 words. During the review process, it was unanimously approved by everyone in the editorial department. The editorial department has unprecedented expectations for this work.

Therefore, the editorial department of "People's Literature" made a bold decision on the number of prints of this issue, and the first print is 120 million copies.

Even if this figure is included in all the previous issues of "People's Literature", it can be ranked in the top ten, but this is only the first print of this issue.

The decision made by the editorial department of "People's Literature" is not only confidence in the novel itself, but also confidence in Lin Weimin's past achievements.

All of Lin Weimin's published works were published by the Guowen Society. Among all his works, only one "Speak Well" has not sold more than one million.

Among them, "Farewell My Concubine" with the highest sales volume has exceeded 280 million copies in total, and the actual sales volume has also exceeded 260 million copies.

With such a brilliant record, and the surprisingly good quality of this work, everyone has reason to believe that Lin Weimin will once again create a sales miracle for "People's Literature".

Lin Weimin didn't care about the expectations of the editorial department of "People's Literature", he only cared about his own manuscript fee.

This time "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" was published in "People's Literature", and the editorial department gave him an unprecedented manuscript fee, 35 yuan per thousand words.

This is not a publication, but a contribution fee for a publication.

The manuscript fee standard of 35 yuan per thousand characters can be said to have broken the ceiling for publishing works in domestic periodicals.

But the problem is that even so, his 45-word "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" only earned more than 5000 yuan in manuscript fees.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Weimin still felt a bit at a loss!
