1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 564 The First Fire
The performance appraisal system of the editorial department is not Lin Weimin's whim to create a new trick. In fact, many publishing houses in the southern region have already implemented it, and the results are generally satisfactory.

In private, Lin Weimin is willing to chat with colleagues from the Guowen Society. Many ordinary colleagues have no idea about the performance appraisal of the editorial department, but everyone has created benefits but has not received corresponding returns. There are always discussions. Some do too much and get paid The few colleagues are also full of complaints.

Cheng Zaochun seeks stability in things, this is his character.In fact, it is not uncommon for this kind of thinking to be placed on the top leader of the unit.

As leaders, this group of people is ultimately responsible for the results.

Cheng Zaochun was not perfect, so he was naturally somewhat resistant to such things.

But Lin Weimin insisted on his own opinion, and he had no choice but to compromise. Who made Lin Weimin support him?
After agreeing to Lin Weimin's reform of the editorial department's performance appraisal system, Cheng Zaochun had to help him contact the publishing house for investigation.

Reform is not done on the brain. Lin Weimin already has a spectrum in his mind, but before the actual implementation, he must go through investigation and look at the practical results of other publishing houses. The most important thing is to understand as much as possible about the problems encountered in the practice process. How the puzzle is solved.

The next day, Cheng Zaochun called Lin Weimin to the office and informed him that he had been contacted about the investigation.

The object of this investigation is Huacheng Publishing House.

Speaking of Huacheng Publishing House, I have to mention "Flower City". This literary magazine, which was launched at the same time as "Contemporary", has a high reputation in the domestic literary circle. The "Four Famous Dans".

Because Huacheng Publishing House was born at the forefront of reform and opening up, it has always been the most open batch of domestic publishing houses.

In the early days of reform and opening up, Huacheng Publishing House released "Shen Congwen Collected Works" and "Yu Dafu Collected Works", but at that time, the word "capital" on Shen Congwen and Yu Dafu's heads had not been completely removed.

This kind of open atmosphere has advantages and disadvantages, but it is undeniable that after years of development, Huacheng Publishing House and "Huacheng" have a strong position in the Chinese literary circle.

After two days of preparation, the inspection team of the Guowen Society set off, led by the deputy editor-in-chief Lin Weimin, accompanied by the senior editor and reviewer of the agency, Jiang Lu, the well-known translator, Li Xin, the director of the first editorial office of contemporary literature, and the director of the second editorial office. Gao Xianjun, and a small follower, Tong Zhonggui.

A group of five people came to Yangcheng and received a high-level reception from Huacheng Publishing House.

Lin Weimin and others stayed here for three days. In addition to communicating with the leaders of the publishing house, there are also many front-line editors. The performance appraisal of the editorial department of Huacheng Publishing House has been implemented for nearly two years. The result is still good, and the efficiency has improved more than before.

The most important thing is that the staff of the editorial department are distributed according to their work, more pay for more work, but the salary increase of the editors far exceeds inflation and the standards set by the state. This approach is generally accepted and approved.

After the inspection, Lin Weimin and others were preparing to return. It happened that Wen Neng, the editorial director of "Flower City", planned to go to Yanjing to collect articles, so he went with them.

On the return train, Jiang Lu chatted with Lin Weimin. He is a senior editor and reviewer of Guowen Society. He has always been a member of the editorial review committee, and has been a member of the professional position review committee for a long time. deep.

"To be honest, I don't like the atmosphere of Huacheng Publishing House, but I have to admit that the distribution method here is relatively fair. The current problem in our agency is that it seems to be warm and affectionate, but in fact it is still a matter of seniority.

Young people have done a lot of work for old comrades, but in the name of "learning" and "guiding", they can easily discredit the credit of young people and take their work achievements as their own. This situation is wrong. "

Jiang Lu didn't have any scruples when talking to Lin Weimin. He had a good relationship with Cheng Zaochun, and he was very clear about the original intention of this investigation.

Lin Weimin was not surprised by Jiang Lu's words. He was meticulous in his work and very principled.

There was a professional title review two years ago, and a director of the editorial department exaggerated his words when recommending comrades in his department. The other judges spoke more tactfully for the sake of face. Only Jiang Lu stood up and reprimanded the director angrily.

Then he spread out the notebook and tried his best to mention the work situation of the editor who was going to report to the reviewer. He didn't even complete 20.00% of his own workload, which completely wiped out the face of the director and the editor who was going to report to the reviewer.

It is completely understandable that such a person can't get used to some unhealthy trends in the society.

When the first Taofen Publishing Award was judged, Jiang Lu regretted missing the award because of Lin Weimin’s recommendation. However, he never blamed Lin Weimin. On the contrary, he admired Lin Weimin very much. The temper coincides with each other.

Lin Weimin said: "These situations really need to be rectified, especially as the reform and opening up is getting deeper and deeper. Everyone is not the same anymore, and they pay more attention to economic interests. This kind of thing can't be allowed to happen again."

Jiang Lu nodded, then smiled at Lin Weimin and said, "Shouldn't you consider mentioning your professional title next year? Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing."

Although Lin Weimin has been in the agency for many years, although he has not fought or robbed, he has been an editor step by step.

The next level is the deputy editor. It is reasonable to say that his conditions are not difficult, but he does not fight or grab, and this matter has nothing to do with him.

Lin Weimin understood what Jiang Lu meant. He would be promoted to the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society after a while, and it would be a bit difficult for him to be an editor.

"Let's talk about it next year."

The two were chatting, Li Xin and Gao Xianjun looked at them and murmured in their hearts.

"Old Gao, do you see anything?" Li Xin asked.

Gao Xianjun said: "You can see it too? I guess he's going to be promoted! Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to lead the team."

"Chief editor? Too young?"

"What's wrong with being younger? It proves that the club is willing to use young people. When the club promoted the two of us, wasn't there a bunch of people who didn't like it?"

Li Xin and Gao Xianjun were assigned to the Guowen Society in the same group, and after less than ten years of work, they became the director of the editorial office. There was a lot of opposition in the society at the time.

Li Xin nodded and said: "That's true. Weimin has been the deputy editor-in-chief for almost three years, right? He is outstanding in all aspects, and he is fair in doing things. If he becomes the editor-in-chief, I will definitely support him."

Tong Zhonggui, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two, and a turbulent sea arose in his heart.

Teacher Lin is going to be the editor-in-chief?

The editor-in-chief in his early thirties?
Tong Zhonggui looked in Lin Weimin's direction, and thinking of this inspection of the editorial department's performance appraisal system, he could almost conclude in his heart that the predictions of Li Xin and Gao Xianjun were 100% correct.

This performance appraisal system for the editorial department might be Mr. Lin's first fire after taking office as the editor-in-chief.

For some reason, Tong Zhonggui was even more excited and excited when he thought of Lin Weimin's position as editor-in-chief than himself.

After returning to Yanjing, Wen Neng of "Flower City" had to separate from Lin Weimin and others.

Before parting, he said to Lin Weimin: "Weimin, I am planning to organize a gathering of Yanjing writers this time. If you have time, come and participate!"

Lin Weimin nodded in agreement. Wen Neng invited him to the party because he had just received someone's reception as a writer, so it was natural to give him face.

After resting at home for a day, Lin Weimin went to work as normal the next morning.

First reported to Cheng Zaochun, and then put all his energy on the documents.

Of course, this inspection trip to Huacheng Publishing House was not for nothing. There must be an inspection report. In addition, based on this inspection, he made some revisions to his original thinking and improved the performance appraisal system of the editorial department.

For several days in a row, Lin Weimin locked himself in the office and was busy with two documents.

That night, when he returned home after seven o'clock, he found that there were guests at home.

Tao Huimin was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Concubine He Sai, seeing Lin Weimin coming back, Concubine He hurriedly stood up from the sofa.

After saying hello to each other, Tao Huimin introduced: "Sister Concubine Sai is coming to Yanjing this time to dub a movie, which is Yimou's "Raise the Red Lantern"."

"Raise the Red Lantern" uses a rare simultaneous sound recording in this era, but the live recording inevitably has flaws, so it still needs to be dealt with in the later stage.

Lin Weimin nodded, "I know, play Mei Shan!"

Mei Shan is the third concubine in "Raise the Red Lantern", and she has a lot of roles. She can be regarded as the second female lead, and this role will be played by Concubine He Sai in later generations.

When Zhang Yimou was choosing actors, Lin Weimin casually mentioned it based on the impression of later generations, and Zhang Yimou approached her.

"Director Zhang told me when he was on the set that you recommended me to him." Saifei He said gratefully.

Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "Your image fits well with the characters in the novel, and you are Huimin's good friend."

Tao Huimin said to Lin Weimin: "Let's eat first. The food is in the kitchen. It's all reserved for you. You can eat it yourself."

After speaking, she pulled He Saifei again, "Sister Saifei, let's not talk about this..."

The two have worked together in the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe for five years. They are both colleagues and classmates.

Although it was a little awkward to get along with each other because Lin Weimin had an oolong when he pursued her, but after so many years, especially Tao Huimin now lives in Yanjing with Lin Weimin, it feels very cordial to meet again.

She dragged He Saifei to chat until almost nine o'clock, and then drove He Saifei back to the hotel where she was staying.

On the way, Concubine He Sai said to Tao Huimin, "Huimin, among our generation, you are the one who married the best."

At home just now, she could see Lin Weimin's doting on Tao Huimin at a glance.

She came to Tao Huimin's house as a guest today, not only to meet Tao Huimin, but also to express her gratitude to Lin Weimin.

Tao Huimin smiled and said, "That's because you don't want to look for it. With your conditions, what kind of young talent can't be found?"

"How can I have such a good life!"

Concubine He Sai looked out of the car window with a bit of sadness in her tone.
