1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 455
The Taofen Publishing Awards Conference on September 9th is considered a grand event in the domestic publishing industry. Lin Weimin followed behind the boss and met many colleagues.

Of course, apart from the few winners today, he is actually the focus of everyone's attention.

The head of the Ministry of Rites specially came to chat with him for a while, which is enough to show how much the higher ups value him now.

Just this year alone, everyone has seen the news of Lin Weimin's winning awards many times on TV and newspapers, and it is normal for the leaders to value it.

After the award ceremony, the normal working status resumed.

The only difference in the club is Wang Yangchen, who won the Taofen Publishing Award, and Teacher Wang is more motivated, and he can be called a dedicated model worker. Lin Weimin feels embarrassed when he sees it.

It is better not to win this award than to win it.

Honest people are like this, they usually work hard.

If you give some more rewards, it will be to death.

"You also learn from others!" Mr. Lin occasionally called out Comrade Yanyu's Old Tan.

It's a pity that Comrade Lao Tan lay so flat that he didn't even bother to turn over.

Next week, he will completely bid farewell to the position of the editorial director of "Contemporary". At this time, even if the earthquake hits, he will not move it. At most, he will scratch his face and slam the flies.

Lin Weimin didn't have the consciousness of being a fly at all, and continued: "Next week, organize a big guy to see you off..."

Before he finished speaking, Comrade Old Tan turned over, "Bah, bah, bah! What is seeing you off, that's called farewell!"

"Is there a difference?"

"The difference is huge!"

Comrade Lao Tan said solemnly: "Seeing off has too many hidden meanings, and it has negative connotations. There is no such taboo as farewell."

"I'm not saying you. I've been a revolutionary for a lifetime, and I'm getting more and more superstitious when I'm old!"

"Fart! Is this superstition? Is this superstition?"

"Then what is this called?"

"This... this is called accurate wording!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "It's all right, don't talk about words like me. Is Bai Kui's old name okay? Everyone agreed last time!"

Comrade Lao Tan rubbed his chin, "It's a bit of a joke!"

Lin Weimin looked at him speechlessly, "Then tell me, which one to choose?"

"How about... let's go smoothly!" Comrade Lao Tan said after pondering for a long time.

"It's all mutton, is there a difference?" Lin Weimin was helpless.

"Why is there no difference? One is grilled and the other is boiled. As we get older, roast lamb is not easy to digest, and boiled lamb is the most comfortable to eat."

The expression on Comrade Old Tan's face roughly read: You don't think about the health of the old comrade at all!
"Okay, that's it!"

After smoothing over Comrade Lao Tan, who was too busy to make troubles, Lin Weimin informed the colleagues in the editorial department of the news, and everyone cheered.

Lin Weimin couldn't help sighing, "Tell me, tell me, this old Tan is so unpopular!"

"Can't you wait until I'm gone before you speak ill of me?" Tan Chaoyang stood at the door and caught Lin Weimin.

"Hey, if you speak ill of you behind your back, what a petty thing it must be? We can't do it, if you want to say it, say it to your face!"

There was a roar of laughter in the office, and Comrade Lao Tan lamented: "It is said that people leave the tea to cool down. I haven't left yet, and the tea is withdrawn for me."

"Old comrades don't talk so much, and think more about how to make more contributions to young people!"

The two of you said something to each other, and the atmosphere in the office was extremely joyous.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, a middle-aged woman knocked on the door of the editorial department.

The person who came was Ye Yongmei, the editor of the Central People's Broadcasting Station. This time I found the Guowen Society, hoping to contact Lu Yao through the Guowen Society. The Central People's Broadcasting Station planned to broadcast Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" in the "Long-form Serial Broadcasting" program.

Lin Weimin met Ye Yongmei. Starting from "The Cliff", several of his works have been broadcast on the radio, including the Central People's Radio.

After hearing Ye Yongmei finish speaking, Lin Weimin smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that you came back. Lu Yao is recuperating in Yanjing now, and the third part of "Ordinary World" has just been written and is being revised."

Ye Yongmei was also very happy to hear that this situation is naturally beneficial to her work.

After get off work, Lin Weimin took Ye Yongmei to the courtyard in Gongjian Hutong.

After entering the yard, I saw Lin Dan busy cooking in the kitchen and the children playing in the yard.

"Sister-in-law, where's Lu Yao?" Lin Weimin asked.

Lin Dan saw that there were still people following Lin Weimin, and knew that he must have something serious to do with Lu Yao.

"Weimin, wait a minute, I'll call Lu Yao, he has gone for a walk in Beihai."

Lin Dan went out the door as he spoke, and brought Lu Yao back more than ten minutes later, panting slightly.

After not seeing him for more than half a month, Lu Yao's complexion was obviously much better than before. After introducing Ye Yongmei to him, Lin Weimin became concerned about his health again.

"Okay can't be better, I feel like I'm fine!" Lu Yao said happily, it seems that the recovery of his body has indeed greatly affected his mood.

"Don't worry. The liver disease is not in a hurry, the focus is on raising it. How long have you been? Go back to the hospital, what does the doctor say?"

Lin Dan said: "The situation has improved, but you still have to continue to take medicine, and you have to pay attention to your work, rest and diet as before."

Lin Weimin said: "Look, you have to listen to the doctor."

Lu Yao nodded helplessly. He was never supervised by the teacher like this when he was a primary school student.

After talking about his condition, Lin Weimin asked Ye Yongmei to explain his visit.

Lu Yao was extremely happy when he heard that his "Ordinary World" was going to be broadcast.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station plans to organize the recording of "Ordinary World", which means that "Ordinary World" will fly to the radio of thousands of households on the wings of radio.

His work "Life" has also been broadcast on the radio before, but "Life" and "Ordinary World" have different reputations after their release.

Compared with "Life", "Ordinary World" is like an ugly duckling that has been disliked by people since birth. Lu Yao, the person who gave birth to him, naturally prefers it.

At this moment, compared with TV and movies, radio is the most common form of entertainment for ordinary people, especially in rural areas, where a village may not necessarily have a TV.But through broadcasting, ordinary people can receive programs carefully produced by many People's Broadcasting Stations.

At the beginning, the radio station planned to produce the first and second parts of "The Ordinary World", but after hearing that the third part had been written, Ye Yongmei asked if the three parts could be produced together.

To do this, the premise is that the third part can be finalized.

At this stage, Lu Yao is still recuperating from his illness and can only work for two hours a day. He has only completed less than a third of the manuscript revision work for the third part.

"I think it's better not to worry about this matter. Now that the third part has already been drafted, it's nothing more than waiting for a few more months. Your radio station can make the first part first to test the waters."

To be on the safe side, Lin Weimin suggested so.

Lu Yao is very helpless. He used to be locked up in a small black room, but now he is watching him recuperate. When will he regain his freedom!

Seeing that Lu Yao also agreed with Lin Weimin's suggestion, Ye Yongmei nodded and said, "That's fine."

Lu Yao was concerned again: "Who are you planning to find, the speaker?"

Since the 50s, the broadcasting of novels has always been one of the popular entertainment activities for the common people. The effect of broadcasting of many popular works is not inferior to that of novels and movies.

And as one of the souls of novel broadcasting, the speaker is also one of the focuses of many ordinary people, just like movie stars.

"We plan to use Li Yemo."

Lu Yao knew about Li Yemo. He Yunlu's "New Star" had been broadcast before, and he was also a new star in the domestic broadcasting industry.

Then, Ye Yongmei chatted with Lu Yao about the manuscript fee.

The royalties for broadcasting novels have never been high, and sometimes writers even donate the broadcasting rights to radio stations for free, without taking any money.

The Central People's Broadcasting Station has sufficient funds, and gave Lu Yao a price of 300 yuan for each novel, and a total of 900 yuan for the manuscript fee for the three novels.

It doesn't look like much, it's not as good as the publication of a novel or a fraction of it, but it is good news for Lu Yao at present.

He has never saved money. Although Lin Weimin has helped a lot when he came back to Yanjing for medical treatment and recuperation, the family of three always needs some expenses, and the medical treatment is expensive.

"This manuscript fee is just enough to save the emergency, otherwise I have to pay you the manuscript fee in advance."

After seeing Ye Yongmei off, Lu Yao said to Lin Weimin.

"If necessary, I'll talk to the accountant," Lin Weimin said.

Lu Yao shook his hand, "It's okay, with this money, I can hold on for a while, if I really run out of money, I will definitely tell you."

Another week later, colleagues from the editorial department of "Contemporary" gathered together and came to Donglaishun.

In order to send off Comrade Lao Tan, everyone didn't even eat lunch.

I have to say, such feelings are moving.

The next day, the Guowen News Agency issued an announcement that Lin Weimin officially took over as the director of the editorial department of "Contemporary", and concurrently served as the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Contemporary".

Colleagues congratulated everyone. For such a result, everyone was not surprised at all, and had expected it for a long time.

Regardless of prestige, work performance or relationship with the leaders in the agency, Lin Weimin is the right candidate to be the director.

From Meng Weizai to Qin Chaoyang, and then to Lin Weimin.

The development of "Contemporary" has not experienced any fluctuations due to personnel changes. The ninth issue of the newly launched journal in September has sold more than 20 million copies in just 120 days, and it seems that it is expected to touch the threshold of 200 million copies.

Over the past two years, this kind of sales of "Contemporary" will come from time to time.

The previous issue included Tong Zhonggui's "Wives and Concubines in Groups", and this issue also has Wang Shuo's "Fierce Animals".

The styles of the two works are very different, but they are equally popular.

The publication of "Wives and Concubines in Groups" made Su Tong's pseudonym the most famous name in domestic literary circles in the past two months.

The publication of "Fierce Animals" also allows people to see that Wang Shuo has played the style of ruffian literature to the peak.

Because of these two novels, "Contemporary" has been in the limelight during this period.

At the beginning of October, the new issue of "Contemporary" was released as scheduled, and regular readers immediately noticed the difference in this issue.

Lin Weimin's name was not only written in the column of editor-in-chief, but also in the column of director.

Colleagues and readers who are familiar with "Contemporary" can't help but sigh when they see this.

This is the leading literary publication in China. The director and editor-in-chief are shoulder-to-shoulder, and they are only 27 years old!

Many people think back to when they were 27 years old. They were factory workers, not even group leaders; The sky is high, and life is thinner than paper. I imagined the world in the book, but I had to bow my head and bend down to live on the land.

What an enviable life!

The change of Lin Weimin's position aroused emotion and admiration from a group of people who knew about "Contemporary", but more readers paid attention to the publication itself.

Like Lin Weimin's job change, the content of this issue of the publication also gave many readers a big surprise.

"Hunting", Lin Weimin's latest novel appeared in the magazine as the headline, and the red font was unusually eye-catching.

It has been more than a year since Lin Weimin published his work last time, and countless readers are already hungry and thirsty, and can't wait to turn the pages of the book.

Take a peek.
