1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 446 Taofen Publishing Award

In February, Han Zhuangzhuang accompanied Zhang Yimou to Berlin and won a Golden Bear Award, creating a miracle in the history of Chinese film.

Zhang Yimou is a well-deserved protagonist, and the two supporting roles, Han Zhuangzhuang and Gong Li, also stole the limelight.

Throughout the first half of the year, Zhang Yimou was busy attending various foreign film festivals. Gong Li got the lead actress in "The Last Emperor" and was busy acting.

Only Han Zhuangzhuang, the hero of "Red Sorghum", remained silent and didn't move at all.

In the past few months, there have been a lot of scripts and invitations that came to him, so many that it is annoying, but Han Zhuangzhuang refused them all without exception.

Yin Geli's pregnancy is getting longer and longer, and he hopes to be by Yin Geli's side during the time when Yin Geli is giving birth.

From this point alone, Han Zhuangzhuang inherited the Lin family's concept of putting family first, and Teacher Lin felt very relieved.

"How many days are left before the due date?" Lin Weimin asked.

"One more week."

When Han Zhuangzhuang was talking, he brought a bunch of fruits, and Yin Geli picked up one and took a bite, looking like he had a good appetite.

Lin Weimin looked at her body shape, "Should I control my mouth when I'm about to give birth?"

Han Zhuangzhuang said helplessly: "I want to control it, but I can't control it!"

Pregnant for more than half a year, Yin Geli at least said that she had gained fifty or sixty catties. Looking at it from the back, she was even thicker than Han Zhuangzhuang.

Lin Weimin is looking forward to his grandson. His parents have such a good background, and they are still a mixed race. This body must be great!
"Go to the hospital when it's almost time. Don't miss these two days. You can feel at ease when you arrive at the hospital." Lin Weimin urged.

Han Zhuangzhuang nodded and said, "Understood."

After talking about Yin Geli's pregnancy, Han Zhuangzhuang talked about Zhang Yimou again.

This year is destined to be a busy year for Ah Mou. It has nothing to do with making movies. Almost all his energy is spent on participating in events and film festivals.

Last month, "Red Sorghum" won the Best Film, Best Director, and Reality and Novelty Awards at the 5th Zimbabwe International Film Festival.

This month, Amou participated in the Sydney International Film Festival in Tuao and won a film critic award.

In the second half of the year, there will be the 11st Marash International Film and Television Festival in Morocco, the [-]th Golden Rooster Award for Chinese Film, the No.[-] Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Cinema, the [-]th Montpellier International Film Festival in France...

All in all, Mou has been very busy this year.

Corresponding to Ah Mou's busyness and pride, is the frustration and loneliness of Comrade Kaige, a young poet reciter.

At the end of last year, Cheng Kaige became obsessed with ghosts and chose to skip the Berlin Film Festival in order to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. This incident caused a stir in the domestic film circle.

In the end, Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" temporarily took part in the Berlin Film Festival, and even won a Golden Bear Award, which made people in the domestic film industry stunned.

At the same time, many people can't help but feel sorry for Cheng Kaige. If he can take "King of the Kid" to the Berlin Film Festival, maybe he can win a big prize.

Before "Red Sorghum", Cheng Kaige was the true pride of the Chinese film industry.

His father is Cheng Huaikai, a well-known domestic director and a veteran teacher of Yanjing Film Academy.

When he was in the Film Academy, Cheng Kaige was tall and handsome, with extraordinary literary talents, and he was very close to the "Today" circle at that time, and he was the absolute man of Yanying at that time.

Compared with him, Zhang Yimou who entered Yanying through the "back door" is like a dog.

As a film family and Yan Ying's own people, many seniors in the film circle naturally have high hopes for Cheng Kaige.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Cheng Kaige was able to direct films independently two years after graduation.

However, to everyone's surprise, last month "King of the Kid" participated in the Cannes Film Festival under much anticipation. Not only did it receive rave reviews during the screening, but when the film festival closed, there was nothing to show for it. .

This disappointed countless domestic filmmakers who were looking forward to Cheng Kaige's return to China. The scene of Zhang Yimou winning the Golden Bear Award a few months ago is still vivid in his memory. Cheng Kaige will participate in the Cannes Film Festival again. Everyone seems to have seen China Movies go abroad and march towards the dawn of the world.

But now it seems that all this is just an illusion.

Cheng Kaige's Cannes defeat turned him from the much-anticipated to the laughing stock overnight.

On the contrary, because of this, Zhang Yimou's genius is more and more highlighted.

I went to work the next day, and not long after I sat down, the front building greeted me for a meeting.

Lin Weimin came to the conference room with his notebook in his hand, and had a temporary meeting. Everyone didn't know the topic of the meeting, so they whispered to each other before the meeting.

After a while, the meeting started. Cheng Zaochun presided over the meeting and explained the reason for today's meeting.

It turned out that in the first half of the year, the National Publishers Association planned to establish the "Taofen Publishing Award". This "Taofen" refers to Mr. Zou Taofen, a publisher and journalist who once founded "Life Weekly" and Sanlian Bookstore.

Mr. Zou Taofen is not only a famous journalist and publisher, but also an outstanding revolutionary and patriot, who made important contributions to the domestic war of resistance.

The Taofen Publishing Award was established by the National Publishers Association, which naturally represents the highest award in the Chinese publishing industry, and is also highly valued by major domestic publishing organizations.

This year is the first time for the Taofen Publishing Award, which is held every two years, and the candidates must be recommended by the work unit or the board member of the Publishing Association.

Cheng Zaochun finished talking about the selection of the Taofen Publishing Award, and said: "The requirement for the award is that each unit recommends a candidate. There are many comrades in our publishing house who are qualified to participate in the selection of the Taofen Publishing Award. Everyone has a candidate in mind. , might as well say it, speak freely."

After he finished speaking, he drank tea.

There are many colleagues in the office, the comrades of the party group, the vice president, the deputy editor-in-chief, the directors of the various editorial offices, and the editor-in-chief. Everyone gathered together.

Everyone is not stupid. The selection method of the Taofen Publishing Award is recommended by the unit. Although there are many publishing institutions across the country, it is not necessary to know that the ownership of the award must be monopolized by the top publishing institutions.

Coincidentally, Guowenshe is one of the best publishing houses in China.

In other words, as long as one can be determined to be the award candidate recommended by the society, then this person will win the award with every chance.

Who doesn't want this spot?
But this matter is not something you can give you by talking first, the early rafters are rotten first, wait and see before talking.

Lin Weimin felt the undercurrent surging in the conference room, and moved his buttocks.

This group of old silver coins looked silent, and he knew exactly what was going on in his heart.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Guowen Society is no exception. Every time there is such an award, the society will be in a hurry.

Cheng Zaochun drank tea and waited for a long time, seeing that no one spoke, so he had to browse through the crowd and click on Lin Weimin who was watching the excitement.

"For the people, tell me!"

Lin Weimin was reluctant to be named, what does this have to do with me?
"Leader, I nominate myself!" He said brazenly.

Cheng Zaochun's face darkened, "Are you qualified?"

Everyone in the office roared with laughter.

Just now Cheng Zaochun said when he introduced the rules of the Taofen Publishing Awards that the candidates recommended by the unit must have more than ten years of work experience in the publishing industry.

Lin Weimin has been in the club since 80, and it took only seven years to complete the calculation. Naturally, he did not have the qualifications.

Lin Weimin muttered, "Didn't you tell me to say it?"

Cheng Zaochun said impatiently: "Don't mess around, I asked you to recommend candidates, but I didn't ask you to recommend yourself. What's the matter? There is no capable person in our agency that you can fancy?"

"Leader, this is what you said, it has nothing to do with me, everyone testify to me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Cheng Zaochun urged.

Lin Weimin hesitated for a moment, then looked at the other colleagues.

Everyone was looking at him eagerly. At this time, Cheng Zaochun was obviously asking for everyone's opinions. In fact, as long as he could get some people's consent, he might be directly confirmed as the recommended candidate.

"I recommend old...comrade Qin Chaoyang!"

The candidate Lin Weimin mentioned did not surprise everyone. Tan Chaoyang is the director of the editorial department of "Contemporary" and has worked with Lin Weimin for several years.

Cheng Zaochun said at this time: "Maybe I didn't make it clear just now. Retired people are not within the recommended range."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this way everyone lost a lot of competitors.

Lin Weimin complained in his heart that Cheng Zaochun was out of breath, and couldn't even understand what he was saying.

"That……"

Lin Weimin hesitated, rolled his eyes, glanced at Cheng Zaochun, and said, "How about... Teacher Wang Yangchen?"

When this candidate came out of his mouth, not only many colleagues were surprised, but Cheng Zaochun was also surprised.

Wang Yangchen, the person involved, also attended the meeting today, and he looked at Lin Weimin with surprise and puzzlement.

Cheng Zaochun couldn't help but said, "Tell me the reason?"

Lin Weimin said: "It's nothing, I just think that Mr. Wang is quite suitable for this award. In our club, there are many people from this family and that family, and they all have a great reputation in the club. On the contrary, they are as diligent and silent as Mr. Wang. People who bow their heads and devote themselves are rarely recognized by society and organizations for their work achievements. Since this Taofen Publishing Award is an industry award, let’s focus on comrades with a style like Mr. Wang!”

After Lin Weimin finished speaking, the meeting room fell into a brief silence.

As he said, there are definitely not a few families in the Guowen Society. These people can be said to be both famous and profitable. On the contrary, many editors who have worked diligently in their jobs all their lives do not have those prominent reputations and unscrupulous people. Fei's royalties are unknown.

Wang Yangchen was transferred to the Guowen Society in 56, and his qualifications must be sufficient. He successively worked as an editor and editor in the editorial office of Contemporary Literature and Modern Literature.

Not only that, he also served as the director of the Lu Department.

It is very special to have two editorial offices in Guowenshe, one is the editorial office of Lu Xun's works, and the other is the editorial office of Yan Bing's works.

Compared with the Yan Bing Works Editing Office, which was only established in the 80s, the Lu Editing Office's status is even more detached.

The predecessor of the Lu Xun Office was the Lu Xun Works Editing Agency established in 1950. In 51, the Lu Xun Press moved to Beijing and merged into the Guowen Society, and then the Lu Xun Works Editing Office was established.

The word "and" determined the status of Lu Bianshi in the Guowen Society.

Wang Yangchen served as the director of the Lubian Office in the 70s, and his qualifications and ability are beyond doubt.

Lian Cheng Early Spring, the president and editor-in-chief, was also a soldier under Wang Yangchen in the Lu editorial office in the early years.

Cheng Zaochun stared at Lin Weimin suspiciously.

This kid, isn't he planning to flatter me?
