1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 458 What do you mean?
"Hunting" caused more and more public opinion. At first, it was the discussion of readers, and then it was the comments of newspapers and periodicals. There were both praises and criticisms. This is a normal phenomenon, and no one paid much attention to it.

But with the end of a certain JG newspaper, the direction of public opinion has gradually changed.

The argument of the newspaper article is very interesting, saying that Lin Weimin's novel is suspected of exonerating the criminal.

Once the article was published, it attracted great attention.

The reason why this article has received so much attention is not only because of the popularity of the novel "Hunting", but also because of the status of this newspaper, which represents the authoritative public opinion in the field of politics in our country.

All of a sudden, the discussion that was originally limited to the literary level was immediately pulled to the political and legal level.

Everyone who read this article knows that things may be going big!
Tong Zhonggui showed this newspaper to Lin Weimin, and he couldn't laugh or cry after reading it.

In the novel, it is clearly stated that Hu Tao is lying, and Teacher Gao also has a conclusive alibi, but the author of this article is stunned to be able to refer to a crime.

Obviously, people have impure purposes.

After reading the article, he only has two feelings, one is the familiar shanggang online, and the other is the sense of sight that stirs up the fight between the two.

The whole article has no logic and reliable arguments, it is purely a conjecture based on the thinking of power and disregarding the facts, which reminds Lin Weimin of the remarks made by the retired editor-in-chief of a certain newspaper in later generations, almost exactly the same.

It seemed that he was being targeted.

The powerful want to bully the weak without reason. The difference is that if it is not yourself, it may be someone else.

"Mr. Lin, this article..." Tong Zhonggui asked worriedly.

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "It's okay, some people can always find a reason to do something, even if there is no seam, flies will land on it and rub their hands."

Seeing that Lin Weimin's attitude was as open-minded as ever, Tong Zhonggui felt a little at ease in his heart, and asked again: "Wouldn't the trouble become bigger and bigger?"

"Can you stop him from making trouble?" Lin Weimin asked with a smile.

Tong Zhonggui understood what Lin Weimin meant and felt helpless.

The articles in the JG newspaper were like a rallying order to encircle and suppress Lin Weimin, and newspapers soon followed, questioning Lin Weimin's ideological issues.

When it comes to the issue of "discussing the mind", the parties basically have no way to defend themselves.

People make inferences of guilt for you, and then ask you to prove your innocence, how do you prove it?

Do you want to be a six son?
The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

What's even more ironic is that because of the propaganda and demagogy of these newspapers, more and more ordinary people have begun to respond to the issue of "Hunting".

The trend of criticizing "Hunting" and Lin Weimin became popular under the vanguard of several newspapers, and many people who did not know the truth also participated in it.

If you think about it, you know that China has a population of more than 10 billion, and the sales volume of "Contemporary" is no more than 200 million copies. How many of these people have never read the novel "Hunting" at all.

These people were nothing more than hearsay, consciously standing on the side of righteousness, and mixed in the crowd to condemn Lin Weimin righteously.

At first it was "Contemporary", then the Guowen Society, and then to the Publishing Department.

Colleagues and friends around Lin Weimin were all dumbfounded watching the development of the situation.

Everyone thought that the content of "Hunting" was a bit exaggerated, but the reality taught everyone a lesson.

Isn't this a replica of the plot in "The Hunt"?

It's ironic to the bone!
Due to attacks from outside public opinion, the atmosphere in the editorial department of "Contemporary" has been very gloomy recently, including that of the Guowen Society.

At this time, Lin Weimin received a call from the Cultural Association.

First, he greeted Lin Weimin for a while, and his attitude was very amiable, and then he said that he was not used to the recent criticism of "Hunting" and Lin Weimin himself, which was completely fabricated and malicious, and then said that "Literary News" could give Lin Weimin Provide a voice.

After listening to these words, Lin Weimin suddenly figured out the purpose of this call, and then politely declined the other person's kindness.

Lin Weimin doesn't like being scolded, criticized, and being used as a gun, neither of these two things, why bother to find trouble for himself, and find one more trouble for himself?
When he was going to chat with Cheng Zaochun's office, Cheng Zaochun called someone to come to him first.

When he arrived at Cheng Zaochun's office, he looked melancholy.

"I'm not wrong, am I? The novel has been published, so there must be trouble."

Lin Weimin said: "Leader, you are an afterthought."

Cheng Zaochun glared at him, Lin Weimin sat down, and talked about the phone call from the Cultural Association just now.

Cheng Zaochun scolded: "The weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, you didn't promise them?"

"I'm not stupid!"

"That's good." Cheng Zaochun nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You have to be careful during this time!"

Lin Weimin frowned, "Did you hear something?"

"It's just a rumor..."

"What rumor?"

"It is said that some family members of the victims of rape have asked Y to ban your novel!" Cheng Zaochun worried.

Lin Weimin was surprised, "It's so big?"

He thought about being asked to write a review, suspension, etc., but he didn't think that people would dig out the root cause and destroy the work directly.

No, if you dig at the root, you should destroy yourself humanely.

"What's the matter? Don't be so playful!" Cheng Zaochun scolded, with a heavy expression on his face, "They probably won't be able to do this, but even if they can't, if there's too much noise, we'll be very passive. Especially for you, it will have a great impact."

"I won't write novels because I'm afraid of them!" Lin Weimin sneered.

Cheng Zaochun shook his head helplessly, "You, you, when will you change your temper?"

Not long after Cheng Zaochun finished talking with Lin Weimin, it was reported that a certain department held a meeting to criticize Lin Weimin's "Hunting" by name.

The matter of the banned book was spread by people who did not know the truth, and it was also said that there were noses and eyes. It was also said that many family members of the raped female criminal wanted to go to Beijing to ask Lin Weimin for an explanation, as if Lin Weimin was the raped female criminal.

According to the current rumors, Lin Weimin should be brought to justice in the next step.

Cheng Zaochun, the president, was urgently summoned to the office for a meeting. When he came back, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he found Lin Weimin in the office.

"What's the situation? It seems that the meeting is not ideal?"

Cheng Zaochun remained silent, staring at Lin Weimin for a long time before saying: "The pressure in the department is also very high. The leaders of several brother units have intervened in this matter, and hope that there will be a resolution."

"What to deal with? Deal with me or deal with the book?" Lin Weimin asked.

Cheng Zaochun opened his mouth, and said with a bit of worry: "All of them. First deal with the book, and then deal with you."

"Do you really dare to deal with the book? Are they not afraid of stabbing someone?" Lin Weimin was a little surprised.

Cheng Zaochun said patiently: "If you really want to deal with the book, it will be too much trouble and it won't end well. When people say that, they naturally want the higher authorities to express their views."

Lin Weimin nodded, understood, the art of negotiation!Asking prices all over the sky, and paying back the money when they land.

"The current situation is that many family members really have great opinions. They have repeatedly written letters and called to those departments to report the problems of your novel. Some people have even gone to the department.

The opposite means that you'd better write a check and post it in the newspaper, and the other is dismissal. "

"What does that mean?" Lin Weimin asked after knowing that Cheng Zaochun hadn't finished speaking.

"The higher-ups are naturally fighting for reason. Your matter has nothing to do with your own job. Removal is too much. Suspension is impossible."

Lin Weimin understood Cheng Zaochun's subtext, "So I have to write an inspection, and which units should I deal with?"

"It's not to deal with those units, but to give an explanation to those family members." Cheng Zaochun sighed.

Lin Weimin shook his head, "According to this logic, do I have to kowtow to the little devil when I write "The Wind"? After all, it hurts his national feelings."

Cheng Zaochun stared at Lin Weimin, "Don't be silly, you boy!"

"How can this be called a crime?" Lin Weimin showed no anger on his face, and he continued: "I understand the difficulties above, but it is impossible for me to write this inspection."

"My novel was originally written about a slander case. What does it have to do with those victims? If it is extended like this, then no matter whether it is a literary work or a film and television work, there will be no plot of being wronged?"

"These are two different things. The impact of your novel is too bad!"

"Bad? No matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as those people with ulterior motives!" Lin Weimin's face was stern.

Cheng Zaochun didn't get angry, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I can't write it in the inspection. I don't have any opinion on how to deal with me."

Cheng Zaochun stared at him for a long time, then sighed helplessly: "I guessed that you have this attitude. You are so embarrassing."

The tone of these words is almost the same as the dialogue in Lin Weimin's novel, which is really a great irony.

"Anyway, it's impossible to write the inspection. After writing it, won't it be the same as Teacher Liu? It's too sad, there's no need for that, let them make trouble!

I want to see if this unreasonable trouble can really cause trouble? "

Cheng Zaochun said: "You can think clearly. Originally, the superiors asked you to write an inspection and it's over. If you are so stubborn, you will not give the superiors face. It is really possible that you will be suspended or even dismissed."

Lin Weimin spread his hands, "Stop it, stop it, avoid it, what am I afraid of?"

Cheng Zaochun completely gave up persuading Lin Weimin, and said dejectedly, "Okay, I know your attitude. I'll go to the leader to persuade you again, but it's hard to just focus on your attitude!"

Lin Weimin shrugged, "Love someone!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, then turned around again, and said, "Leader, haven't you watched "Hunting" yet?"

Cheng Zaochun frowned, "Why do you ask this?"

"It's okay, I suggest you take a look!"

After speaking, Lin Weimin left.

Cheng Zaochun, who was at a loss, found the tenth issue of "Contemporary" and opened "Hunting".

After watching for a long time, I finally understood the meaning of what Lin Weimin said before leaving.

He laughed angrily, "You bastard! You don't even use dirty words when you swear."

But after his anger passed, he read the novel again, and he had to admit in his heart that the description in this novel was indeed too real and vivid.

Cheng Zaochun couldn't help sighing, why didn't he know that doing that would be unfair to Lin Weimin?
But sometimes, in his position, he is often involuntary!
After more than a month of fermentation, the criticism against "Hunting" and Lin Weimin is getting louder and louder. Most people in this society follow blindly. Later, many people even simplified the first-hand "Hunting" They have never read or heard of the plot of this version, they only know that this is a novel for criminals to be whitewashed.

The emotions of the masses have been thoroughly aroused, and the purpose of those people with ulterior motives has been achieved.

Under the raging public opinion, the higher-ups couldn't stand it any longer, so the leader brought Lin Weimin to the office for a conversation.

It can be regarded as an ultimatum. If Lin Weimin does not write this inspection, he will be suspended from his job.

Facing the serious expression of the leader, Lin Weimin smiled playfully.

"Look at you, what a big deal! Isn't it just an inspection, can't I write it?"

The leader was full of suspicion about Lin Weimin's attitude. He had stiffened his neck before, as if he would not write this inspection even if he was shot. Why did he change his appearance now?

But no matter how it changes, it's good to have this attitude, let's calm things down!

"Leader, borrow a pen and paper!"

Just write as you say, Lin Weimin's happiness surprised the leader again, and he lent a pen and paper.

Then, under his watchful eye, Lin Weimin wrote like a snake, and finished writing this "inspection" in just 2 minutes.

The leader looked at the scribbled lines on the paper, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"
