1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 629
"Nonsense! The manuscript is lost. What a frustrating thing for a writer? Comrade Jianqun is the most potential writer in our Shaanxi literary world. I have to care and condolences to Comrade Jianqun. Failed."

Facing Lin Weimin's eloquent tongue, Lu Yao said that he didn't take a single punctuation mark.

He knows this guy's character too well, and he wouldn't believe it if he said that Lin Weimin didn't go to poach the wall.

In 1987, the Chinese Literature Foundation accepted the donation of Zhuang Zhongwen, a patriotic businessman from Hong Kong, and established the Zhuang Zhongwen Literature Award. Last year, Gao Jianqun, Jia Pingwa, and Yang Zhengguang jointly won the Zhuang Zhongwen Literature Award.

Part of "The Last Hun" has been published, and it has a very good reputation among critics and readers. It is self-evident what Lin Weimin's purpose is.

Joking aside, Lu Yao still gave Lin Weimin Gao Jianqun's contact information.

After the two hung up the phone, Lin Weimin called again.

When contacting Gao Jianqun, he first asked for a while, which flattered Gao Jianqun.

You must know that Lin Weimin is not only a famous writer at home and abroad, but also the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society. He suddenly called to greet him, and Gao Jianqun couldn't resist him.

Then, Lin Weimin asked about his current creative progress.

What Gao Jianqun lost was the upper manuscript of "The Last Hun", and he only completed the upper manuscript, and now he can only start over from memory bit by bit.

Lin Weimin said a few more words of relief, and then said naturally: "It is very painful to re-write the manuscript, and it is not conducive to creation if you keep writing like this. If you have time, you should go out to relax. Creation, always Work and rest."

His words moved Gao Jianqun's heart. It is difficult for someone who has never rewritten a manuscript to experience the unspeakable pain. He really should go out for a walk.

At this time, Lin Weimin said again: "I have read some of the content of your novel published in "Lijiang", and it is very well written. If the novel is finished, how about publishing it to our Guowen Society?"

Gao Jianqun didn't expect Lin Weimin to make such a request. He was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Can my novel be published by the Guowen Society?"

"If the standard is consistent with the content published on "Lijiang", it can be published."

Gao Jianqun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and his mood, which was irritated by rewriting the manuscript, immediately became brighter.

"I try to do it," he said.

Hearing his answer, Lin Weimin laughed, "Comrade Jianqun, then I will wait for your good news!"

"No problem, don't worry."

As soon as he thought of his work being published by the Guowen Society, Gao Jianqun felt his heart filled with strength and his mind bursting with inspiration.

Lin Weimin said again seemingly unintentionally, "If you don't have any inspiration for writing manuscripts, you can come to Yanjing for a walk. Our Chinese Literature Society has a guest house, and there are subsidies for writing manuscripts here."

"Thank you for your kindness. However, it may not be convenient to go to Yanjing. I am currently working in Huangling County."

Gao Jianqun is not only a writer, but also an official. His temporary post in Huangling County is the deputy secretary of the county party committee.

Lin Weimin felt a little regretful when he heard the words, and said, "It's okay, let's meet again when you deliver the manuscript!"

"Okay, then I'll treat you to a drink!" Gao Jianqun said heartily.

When he was about to hang up the phone, Lin Weimin asked again: "Do you know what Jia Pingwa has been writing recently?"

"I don't know. I heard that his house is restless recently, so he probably doesn't have much interest in writing."

He was about to hang up the phone, and smelled gossip again, Lin Weimin couldn't help but chat with Gao Jianqun again.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Weimin thought for a while, called He Qizhi, first told him about Gao Jianqun, and then explained: "This year, I have time to let comrades go to Shaanxi more. In the past two years, the 'Shaanxi Army' Talents come forth in large numbers, so we need to recruit more, especially Gao Jianqun, Jia Pingwa, Jingfu and other writers who are in their prime should put more energy into it.”

There was Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" before, and Cheng Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain" later. In the past few years, the voice of Shaanxi writers in the Chinese literary world has never been greater, so He Qizhi was not surprised by Lin Weimin's advice, and readily agreed down.

Lin Weimin went on to say: "This year, you will spend more time in Shaanxi. In the second half of the year, I plan to hold a seminar on novels, mainly inviting writers from Shaanxi."

"Mainly invite Shaanxi writers?" He Qizhi was a little puzzled.

"In the past few years, the "Shaanxi Army" has produced a large number of talents. In my opinion, "Ordinary World" and "White Deer Plain" are not enough. In the past two years, there will be several masterpieces. The agency had little contact with some powerful writers in Shaanxi. , you can take this opportunity to connect and connect with each other, and bring the release and publication of their new work over."

Later, on March 1993, 3, "Guangming Daily" published a review article "The Eastern Expedition of the Shaanxi Army", which mentioned the concept of "the Eastern Expedition of the Shaanxi Army" for the first time.

The so-called "Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition" is not a military action. The "Shaanxi Army" refers to a group of writers in the prime of life in Shaanxi literary circles.

The background of this review article is in the early 90s, "White Deer Plain" (Cheng Zhongshi), "Abandoned Capital" (Jia Pingwa), "The Last Hun" (Gao Jianqun), "Bali Love and Enmity" (Jingfu) and other classic works in a short period of time. Intensive publishing in China has formed an unprecedented trend of "Shaanxi Army" in the Chinese literary world.

Cheng Zhongshi, Jia Pingwa, Gao Jianqun, and Jingfu, together with Lu Yao whose work was published earlier than these four, are known as the "Five Tigers" among Shaanxi writers because of their popularity and great influence. Will".

The current "White Deer Plain", which is faithful in time and space, was born three years earlier because of Lin Weimin's birth.

However, the works of Jia Pingwa, Gao Jianqun, and Jingfu still followed the rhythm of history, and were basically born in the two years of 92 and 93.

After the theory of "Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition" came out, publishing houses, media circles, and literary circles contributed to the flames. For a while, newspapers and book stands were full of "Shaanxi Army's Eastern Expedition" slogans and advertisements, which produced an unprecedented sensational effect.

Under such a sensational effect, the five writers who benefited the most are of course.

Not to mention "Ordinary World" and "White Deer Plain", which have already been on the altar, "Abandoned Capital", "The Last Hun" and "Bali Love and Enmity" all became bestsellers with sales exceeding 100 million copies that year.

Among them, Jia Pingwa's "Abandoned City" has the most exaggerated sales.

The names of Gao Jianqun and Jingfu are relatively unfamiliar to the general public, but Jia Pingwa's name is familiar to the common people.

To make the name of Jia Pingwa a household name, it is inseparable from Jia Pingwa's masterpiece - "Abandoned City".

In 1993, "Abandoned Capital" was published in the fourth issue of "October". Due to its unique and bold attitude and naked sexual descriptions, it aroused fierce controversy from all walks of life. " title.

"Abandoned City" was published by Yanjing Publishing House two months after it was published. As soon as the novel came out, it was enthusiastically sought after by booksellers.

At that time, the printing volume of Yanjing Publishing House could not keep up. In order to meet the market demand, they had to sell the format and asked some booksellers to print and publish it themselves. They sold six or seven books at once. These booksellers started with a print run of 10 book.

In just half a year, the original "Abandoned City" sold more than 200 million copies.

At the same time, pirated booksellers are also frantically harvesting the market. At the end of 93, a publishing house conducted a special survey. In less than half a year, the sales volume of the pirated version of "Abandoned City" exceeded 1000 million copies.

There are more than 60 editions of "Abandoned City" printed by various publishing houses and pirates collected by the author Jia Pingwa alone.

"Abandoned Capital" in 1993 can be called a phenomenon-level culture in the Chinese literary world.

Apart from the quality of the novel itself, the biggest reason for the popularity of "Abandoned Capital" is naturally the QS description in it.

Among the readers who buy novels, the curiosity-seeking psychology accounts for a large part. The more they lack, the more they yearn for it. The same is true.

But the color level of "Lover" is not as good as "Abandoned City", and the color level of "Abandoned City" is not as good as "Golden Age".

In later generations, "The Abandoned Capital", which has experienced the "ban" storm, has already proved its literariness and artistry under the test of time.

Wouldn't it be a pity if the Guowen Society didn't take over such a work?
Moreover, if "Abandoned Capital" can be released smoothly, Lin Weimin also plans to resume the publication of the full version of "White Deer Plain", including Wang Xiaobo's "Golden Age" can try to publish.

The publication and publication of these novels must have sparked discussion and even criticism, but Lin Weimin thought it was worth it. "Abandoned City" was guaranteed sales, and "White Deer Plain" and "Golden Age" were because he promised process loyalty and Wang Xiaobo.

Facing a bunch of bestsellers whose future sales could easily start at millions of copies, Lin Weimin is like King Zhou meeting Daji, how could he refuse?

What are you afraid of being scolded?
If the writer becomes popular and the book becomes popular, isn’t it all right?

In the process of communicating with He Qizhi, Lin Weimin even thought about the promotion strategy for these novels in the future, and now everything is ready, just waiting for the novel to be released.

No, it should be to win over talents.

Except for Lu Yao and Cheng Zhongshi who had already been captured, the relationship between Jia Pingwa and the Guowen Society was very ordinary, and even the Guowen Society hadn't published the works of several of them.

Two days later, Cheng Zaochun communicated with Lin Weimin about the convening of the contemporary popular literature seminar.

The Contemporary Popular Literature Symposium was an idea proposed by Lin Weimin last year. This kind of national seminar cannot be held with the scale of the Tongwen Press, so the Guowen Press is in charge.

"I think the venue will be at the Yanjing Hotel. The social celebration will be held there. The place is big and luxurious enough. It seems that our standard is high."

Cheng Zaochun's face showed a bit of pain, "It's not necessary, just find a similar restaurant."

"Don't be so picky. Anyway, it's a national seminar, and we proposed it on our own initiative. Show some grace. This is also to boost the development of popular literature in China."

Cheng Zaochun couldn't help mumbling to Lin Weimin's attitude of selling his father's land and not feeling sorry for him. Lin Weimin said, "Can you give me a good word."

"You might as well be the president!" Cheng Zaochun complained.

The two debated for a while, and Cheng Zaochun finally agreed to the venue, and then the two discussed the details of the meeting.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a hasty knock on the door, before Cheng Zaochun could yell to enter, Li Qingquan from the planning room pushed the door open and entered.
