1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 579
This year is the third award of the Yan Bing Literature Award. It has been more than 10 years since the award was founded. It stands to reason that the jury already has work experience in the previous two years. At this stage, the award rules are becoming more mature and perfect, and the award results should be more authoritative That's right.

However, the development of things always has advantages and disadvantages, and the Yanbing Literature Award cannot escape this objective law.

When an award is first held, it is mostly fair and just, but after a long time, there will be more interference from all parties, and the biggest interference is from human feelings.

In later generations, the Yanbing Literature Award always attracts a lot of attention and controversy when the results of the awards are released.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. It is normal to have various discussions.

But it has to be admitted that the results of the awards are indeed increasingly lacking in credibility and authority.

You say that no good works have been selected for this award, that's nonsense. Among the three or five works each year, there are always works that win awards based on their true talents and learning.

But why are the results of the awards not convincing?
Because someone is mixing sand in it for their own personal gain.

This year I am the leader in power, so it is not too much to stuff a work of my own, right?
I'm the third judge this year, so it's not too much to recommend one of my (personal) works?
*The teacher is an old senior, recommending a student, this face cannot be refuted, he must be shortlisted!
This kind of thing is nothing more than a common thing in later generations.

How many vigorous and well-known awards activities that were held at the beginning were ruined abruptly like this.

Lin Weimin's so-called truth and lies are not actually speaking of his own thoughts, but imitating the possible remarks that may appear after he and the jury have broken up.

Others don't care what he thinks in his heart, they only judge right from wrong according to their own likes and dislikes.

His so-called "truth" is more in line with some people's imagination about this matter.

But Lin Weimin didn't care, because he and Liu Feiyu did have a grudge.

Lin Weimin was not naive enough to think that Mr. Chen's sigh meant that he would stand by his side.

The awarding work of the Yanbing Literature Award is based on the literary association as the main body, and the judging committee is the executive body. Although some of them are doing things to undermine the authority of the awards, what they fear most is to question their authority.

This is the son, the official touched it, but you monk can't touch it!
It’s that simple.

If Lin Weimin wants to change the decision made by a group by himself, it is tantamount to letting others slap himself in the face. Even if the result has not been announced now, the arrogant bureaucracy will not compromise.

After Mr. Chen's phone call, there was no news about the Yanbing Literature Award.

After a few days, Lin Weimin heard a rumor, he shook his head helplessly, knowing who was doing it without thinking.

Rumors stop at wise men, but unfortunately there are only a few wise men in this world.

Even though he knew who did this ghostly trick, he still chose not to trigger it, waiting for the fall to settle the score.

Lin Weimin didn't take this matter to heart. Apart from work, he writes every day.

Stimulated by the judging committee's pickle incident this time, his inspiration exploded, and he hadn't been in such a state of Evans such as diabetes insipidity for several years.

When the time came to the middle of the month, the sample books of Jin Yong's works came out. Li Xuegang and Yu Hua walked into Lin Weimin's office with two sets of books.

The total number of words in Jin Yong's works collection exceeds 800 million words, which are divided into two volumes of "Book and Sword Enmity Record", two volumes of "Jade Blood Sword", four volumes of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", four volumes of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Snow Mountain" Flying Fox, The Legend of the Flying Fox, Four Volumes of Yitian Tulong Ji, Liancheng Jue, Five Volumes of Heaven and Dragon, Five Volumes of "Xia Ke Xing", Four Volumes of "Swordsman", Four Volumes of "The Deer and Ding Tale" five volumes.

In addition, "Yue Nv Jian" was too short to be written as an independent article, so it was included in the second volume of "Book Sword Enmity Record".

There are 36 volumes in the whole set of anthology, each of which is held by Li Xuegang and Yu Hua, which is very visually impactful.

Of these two sets of anthologies, one is a hardcover edition and the other is a paperback edition.

Guowenshe has always released hardcover books, but Tongwenshe has no such scruples. It is the first time that Jin Yong's works have been introduced to the mainland in such a comprehensive way. Lin Weimin believes that there will be many collectors who are willing to pay a high price to collect them.

"Mr. Lin, look! These two sets of books weigh almost [-] catties, but I'm so exhausted!"

After Yu Hua put the whole collection of essays on Lin Weimin's desk, he did not forget to ask for credit and reward.

Lin Weimin made a cup of tea for the two of them, and Yu Hua muttered in a low voice, "It's getting more and more picky."

Normally, multiple sets of sample books should be printed, but this time it is an anthology, which can be divided into hardcover and paperback editions. It costs at least 300 yuan to print five sets. The team has just opened, and Lin Weimin feels distressed when he thinks about it.

The sample book from the printing factory is for the final confirmation of the publishing house. In addition, after the book is published, the publishing house has to take out several sets and send it to the higher authorities and the National Library for reference.

After drinking tea, Li Xuegang left the office, but Yu Hua was expecting Ai Ai and refused to leave.

"Say something."

Yu Hua hesitated and said, "Mr. Lin, after reviewing the book, can you give it to me?"

"Doesn't your editorial department have an editorial sample book?"

"That's different, it has to be returned to the printing factory." Yu Hua gave Lin Weimin a look, "This time the cost is a bit high, they won't let you keep it, and you have to keep it for future reference. You don't need this, yours is a leadership sample book. "

Lin Weimin was speechless, this kid is waiting for him here.

"Look at how promising you are!" Lin Weimin scolded him, and then said: "Take it away after the trial!"

Yu Hua was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Yu Hua is a veteran fan of martial arts novels, but what makes him happy is not only the value of Jin Yong's complete works, but also because this is the first batch of printed works of Jin Yong's works after they were published in the Mainland, which is of great significance.

With Lin Weimin's permission, he happily prepared to leave the office, but he heard Lin Weimin say, "Have you prepared the sample booklet for Mr. Cha?"

"It's ready. It's in the editorial department. It's too heavy so I didn't move it here."

Lin Weimin nodded and said, "Then there's no need to move it. The set is for you, and I'll give it to him after I review it."

Yu Hua laughed happily again, Mr. Lin is still kind to me!

The review of the sample book is not as energy-intensive as the review of the manuscript. It seems to be a quick review. The main thing is to confirm whether there are errors in printing and binding, and the content review is second.

It took several days to review a set of sample documents, and Lin Weimin asked Yu Hua and others about the results of the review.

After confirming that it is correct, sign and print.

The first printing of Jin Yong's works collection is divided into hardcover and paperback.

The scale of the first printings of Guowen Society is not much higher than this time. Every time Lin Weimin's novels are printed, hundreds of thousands of copies are printed.

But the difference this time is that it is an anthology, a set of dozens of volumes.

For an anthology published by a normal publishing house, [-] copies is already a very high print run. After all, the printing cost is there.

Wang Shuo has become popular all over the country in the past few years, and Huayi Publishing House published only [-] copies of his anthology for the first time.

What gave Lin Weimin and Tongwen News Agency such confidence to make the decision to print 11 copies for the first time is naturally because of the readership that Jin Yong has accumulated in the Mainland over the years.

The book is signed and printed, which is considered to have entered the final process of book publishing.

The next most important thing is the promotion of the novel.

For ordinary books published by the Guowen Society, book advertisements are usually published in the journals of the society, and then cooperate with the bookstore to promote materials.

But Jin Yong's works are different from the past. As a literati, Jin Yong has many shortcomings, but it is undeniable that he has a lofty status as a martial arts novel, so the Guowen Society wants to promote it with great fanfare this time.

The specifications this time will definitely not reach the effect of Liang Fengyi's last new book release. After all, they have the help of relevant departments, but the momentum must not be weak. Lin Weimin has started to ask his colleagues in the agency to contact major media in the past few days.

At the same time, he contacted Jin Yong again.

It has been 36 years since the first novel of Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Sword of Enmity and Enmity" was published. Now it is published in the mainland for the first time in the form of a collection, which is a happy event worth celebrating. After Lin Weimin found Jin Yong, he readily agreed Come to Yanjing to attend the press conference.

When Lin Weimin was busy with the release and listing of Jin Yong's collection of works, he also took time to participate in the work seminar of Yu Hua's "To Live".

It has been three months since "To Live" was published, and it has caused extensive and strong influence among the domestic critics and readers.

The critics also recognized Yu Hua's transformation very much, and believed that he had written a rare and good work.

In addition, among the readers, "To Live" was published just after New Year's Day, and during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, a healing work like "To Live" suddenly appeared in a festive and cheerful winter, and it has been read by countless people. The reader of the novel leaves an indelible impression that lasts a lifetime.

The work seminar was held as scheduled in the conference room on the third floor of the front building of the Guowen Society, and invited writers, critics, and scholars gathered together.

Yu Hua is today's protagonist. He hasn't closed his mouth since he entered the meeting room, greeting people everywhere.

When Lin Weimin came in, many people present all looked at him.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world In the past two weeks, rumors about Lin Weimin and the Yanbing Literature Award have been circulating in domestic literary circles.

The news that came out at the beginning was that the two works submitted by the Guowen Society to Lin Weimin did not win awards. Many people in the literary circle were a little surprised when they heard the news. Everyone has seen this work, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be a big problem to get an award-winning spot.

Just when everyone was surprised and confused, another news came out from nowhere.

It is said that Lin Weimin was extremely dissatisfied when he learned that his work was not selected for this year's Yanbing Literature Award, and even contacted the jury to exert pressure.

The colleagues in the literary world who originally had sympathy for him were immediately filled with disgust, and despised this deed very much, and despised Lin Weimin's character even more.

A few days ago, the list of winners of this year's Yanbing Literary Award was just announced in the media. Sure enough, no works by Lin Weimin were selected, which confirmed the veracity of the rumors.

Wang Meng was invited to attend the seminar today. He sat next to Lin Weimin and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with the recent rumors? Why is there such a commotion about the awards?"
