1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 612 What is your level?
Tongwenshe, a sub-brand agency, has achieved brilliant results in the past year and has become the focus of heated discussions among all colleagues of Guowenshe.

The performance of the subordinate subsidiary publisher is good, and the performance of the superior publishing house, Guowen Society, is not bad.

This year, Jin Yong's collection of works has a David star in the agency and sold 3500 million yards.

Among the new books published this year, there is also a hit book like "Cultural Journey" that sold 50 copies in four months.

Lin Weimin's new book "The Story of Promoting Officials" was released in late October, and within two months of New Year's Day, nearly 60 copies had been sold.Lin Weimin's works are always the treasures of the Guowen Society, and the new books easily release 300 million copies a year.

The Guowen Society also introduced five novels by Liang Fengyi. The best-selling "A Dream of a Rich Family" sold more than 30 copies, and the total sales of the five novels also exceeded one million copies.

Yu Hua's "To Live" has been published for half a year and has sold more than 20 copies.

In addition to these outstanding new books, the sales of hundreds of other new books published by Guowen Society during the year were between [-] and [-] copies.

Guowenshe is based on the publication and distribution of pure literary works, and the sales volume of most of the works published over the years is actually not high.

But the Guowen Society also has an advantage, that is, its foundation is deep enough.

In fact, the annual volume of new books published by Guowen Press accounts for a very low proportion of the total volume of publications, and in some years it is even less than 20%.

And the books that really account for the majority of Guowen Society's annual publication and circulation are old books, and they are not ordinary old books, but classic works that have been certified by readers.

Qian Zhongshu's "Fortress Besieged" was published in 1947, and it has been printed in three editions in less than two years, and it is very popular.But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was out of print for 30 years.

It was not until 1980 that Guowen Society was authorized by Mr. Qian to republish this book, which aroused strong repercussions among readers. In the first few years before publication, it sold 20 million copies every year.

After 11 years have passed, "Fortress Besieged" still sells [-] to [-] copies every year.

There are also anthologies such as "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", which sell nearly [-] sets almost every year. Although the number is not large, but it is an anthology, and it sells millions of yards a year.

There are many classic works like this in the Guowen Society. In addition to the works of these older masters, the classic works published by the Guowen Society in recent years have also contributed a lot.

For example, Gu Hua's "Furong Town", Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", Alai's "Dust Settled", Cheng Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain", these works published in recent years, the annual sales are also very impressive, It often starts with 30 volumes, and occasionally sprints to [-] to [-] volumes.

Another example is Lin Weimin's works. The annual sales of works that have been published for a long time are now maintained at between 30 and [-] copies. The shorter the publication time, the higher the sales volume.

For example, "No One Can Be Less", which was published in the past two years, still sold nearly 60 copies this year.

These works can be called the treasures of the Guowen Society, and they are also the foundation and confidence of the Guowen Society.

At the same time, this is why Lin Weimin insisted on purchasing the used machines of Xinhua Printing Factory.

The Guowen Society has such a large number of republished and reprinted books every year, and the printing equipment of the Xinhua Printing Factory is tailor-made for the Guowen Society.

The National Literature Printing Factory in Daxing has been established for three months now, and the business volume is directly full. Every day when the machines are hardly idle, they have to work overtime from time to time.

According to the agency's statistics, in the three months since its establishment, the National Literature Printing Factory has saved the agency more than 20 yuan in printing and binding costs.

That is to say, in just three months, the 10,000+ funds invested by Guowenshe in the National Literature Printing Factory plus the cost of purchasing printing machines have been recovered.

In the future, every time the printing factory prints a book, it will contribute profits to the Guowen Society.

From an investment point of view, the establishment of the National Literature Printing Factory is an excellent investment.

It not only created economic benefits for the Guowen Society, but also made up for the shortcomings of the Guowen Society not having its own printing factory.

At the end of the meeting, the middle and high-level leaders of the club left the conference room and walked together in twos and threes, still discussing the changes in the club this year and the outlook for next year.

Among them, one of the things that everyone is most concerned about is the expansion of Tongbunshe.

Tongwen News Agency has only nine people including Lin Weimin, the president and editor-in-chief, but the annual output value is tens of millions. Such efficiency can be called terrifying.

To make such a contribution, expansion is due.

With this year's achievements, Tongwen News Agency is no longer Wuxia Amon, and it is not so easy to get in.

Everyone still remembers Lin Weimin's bad move when he joined the Tongwen Press last time, drawing lots, and the editors of the higher-level publishing house were transferred to the subordinate sub-brand publishing house to draw lots, which is simply unheard of.

But looking at it now, this may become the norm in the future.

Who told the People's News Agency to develop well?

If this momentum continues, no one will be surprised even if Lin Weimin says he wants to separate his family and move out to work.

After the meeting before New Year's Day, the atmosphere in the club relaxed.

1992 is about to enter the Gregorian calendar, and it's the New Year's Day holiday. Everyone in the office is discussing the holiday entertainment.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Lin Weimin's family had dinner together, and Han Zhuangzhuang's family also came.

The dinner was mutton boiled in a copper hot pot. The water was steaming, and the atmosphere was festive and lively.

Han Zhuangzhuang was chewing a clove of sugared garlic, and suddenly asked Lin Weimin, "Uncle, Yimou came looking for me two days ago."

When Zhang Yimou approached Han Zhuangzhuang, he must be looking for him to act in a play. It seems that none of the main roles in "Wan Jia Litigation" fits Han Zhuangzhuang very well.

"Who did he ask you to play?"

"Wang Qinglai."

Wang Qinglai is Qiu Ju's husband.With a peaceful personality, honest and kind, even a little weak, the village chief kicked him to the core because of building a shed. This is the story of Qiu Yu suing the village chief for an explanation.

Han Zhuangzhuang's image is far from Wang Qinglai's character, Lin Weimin was about to say this, but he looked at Han Zhuangzhuang's face.

"Do you think you are suitable?"

Han Zhuangzhuang shook his head, "It's definitely not suitable. With my body type, it's no problem for you to let me play a strong general. But it's completely different to play Wang Qinglai's kind of wimpy little man."

"Then have you ever wondered why Yimou still insists on looking for you?" Lin Weimin asked back.

Why else?Because of you!

Han Zhuangzhuang's words came to his lips, but he didn't say them.

That's right, it's not that Zhang Yimou is ignorant of movies and acting, it is absolutely impossible for him to play Wang Qinglai because of his uncle.

In that case, "Raise the Red Lantern" should be performed by itself.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for Zhang Yimou to find himself, and that is to really feel that he is suitable for the role of Wang Qinglai.

"He saw the plasticity in me?" Han Zhuangzhuang asked uncertainly.

Lin Weimin took two slices of mutton and dipped them in sesame sauce.

"It should be. Although your image is big and thick, you have honed your acting skills well over the years. Wang Qinglai's character is not fake, but it doesn't mean that his image is necessarily thin and sick.

Think about those rural friends you have met, because of years of hard work, most of their bodies are relatively strong. The role of Wang Qinglai is young, so if you play this role, it is not a violation of harmony. The most important thing is you Can you show his temperament. "

After saying this, Lin Weimin put the mutton into his mouth, his mouth glowed with oil, and his expression was very enjoyable.

Han Zhuangzhuang thought for a moment and said, "That's what you said, so I'll take it?"

"It's up to you. You don't want to act in Yimou's movies, but some people want to act in them." Lin Weimin said casually.

"Yimou said before that I'm his queen hero." Han Zhuangzhuang said indignantly.

Lin Weimin chuckled, I've heard of Mou Girl, have you heard of Mou Boyang?
While everyone was eating, the phone rang at home, and Lin Weimin went to the living room to answer the phone.

"Weimin, can you get me a set of "Jin Ping Mei" published by your agency?"

It was Wang Shuo who called, and he made an extremely rude request as soon as he came up.

Lin Weimin wanted to say to him on the spot: "You are thinking of farting".

But considering everyone is eating, it's better to be gentle.

"Have you drank too much fake wine?"

Wang Shuo was not angry when Lin Weimin insulted him, "Just help me, brother, I beg you just this once."

"Impossible, what level are you? Still want to watch "Jin Ping Mei"?"

Feeling the naked identity discrimination, Wang Shuo said anxiously: "We people also need spiritual nourishment. You cadres can't enjoy everything to themselves."

"Don't talk about those useless things, don't think about it."

Lin Weimin didn't give Wang Shuo another chance to speak, and hung up the phone decisively.

When he returned to the dining table, Tao Huimin asked, "Who is it?"

"Wang Shuo, I want to buy "Jin Ping Mei"."

Chatting, the family continued to eat hot pot.

When it was almost time to eat, there was a knock on the door.

Sister Sun went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, a small crew barged in, but Sister Sun didn't react.

"For the people! For the people!"

Wang Shuo called Lin Weimin's name, entered the room, and saw the family eating hot pot, his attitude restrained a little.

"No wonder you can smell the aroma before entering the hospital. You still enjoy eating hot-boiled mutton in winter."

While Wang Shuo was talking, Zilaishu sat down and greeted everyone again.

Lin Weimin asked Sister Sun to help him get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and now everyone had finished eating, Wang Shuo was not polite, poured himself a plate of sesame sauce, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat.

"Are you hungry for two meals?" Lin Weimin teased.

"I went to the set at noon, Jiang Wen's grandson is tossing around painting the big chimney, and he's too busy watching the Western view, so he forgot to eat." Wang Shuo said with meat in his mouth.

"The matter of "Jin Ping Mei" is not about him and you, is it?"

Wang Shuo raised his head and glanced at Lin Weimin, "I really let you talk, it seems that you know the grandson thief. He bragged to me and said that he had watched the unabridged "Jin Ping Mei" when he was a child. What level is his father? Don’t I know yet? It’s not level enough at all, what a fart!”
