1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 654 Unparalleled attention

The time has come to the end of October unknowingly, and the sales of "World Literature Classics Library" are still in full swing these days.

After three months of suspending publication for rectification, "Nandu Weekend" has been severely injured, its backbone has been lost, and the credibility of the publication is almost zero.

On October 10th, after three months, "Nandu Weekend" finally published again.

Today's publication has only one theme, a huge headline on the front page: "A Painful Lesson".

The content is "Southern Metropolis Weekend" newspaper's apology for the alleged exaggeration, fabrication of facts, and out-of-the-box reports in the past few years. Lin Weimin is naturally one of the victims of fake news.

Seeing the sincere apology in the newspaper, Lin Weimin whistled happily.

I just like your stubbornness when you get slapped in the face by piapia after you speak hard!

As for the main perpetrators of fake news in Southern Metropolis Weekend, several leaders can say that after being dismissed, they will still have some treatment, even if they don't reuse them in the future, at least they can live well.

Those little soldiers were in a worse situation. After this incident, they were expelled from the news media industry. No unit dared to risk the disgrace of the world to use a group of people like them.

These people have only one choice, to give up their years, ten or even decades of experience in the industry, switch to other fields, and start over.

It's quite sad (huo) miserable (gai) to say the least!

A few days ago, Lin Weimin received a call from Li Xiangyang, and Li Xiangyang came up and asked, "Did you get involved in the fake news in Nandu Weekend?"

Lin Weimin was frightened into a cold sweat, and instinctively argued: "Founding rumors! Absolutely spreading rumors! This person is really vicious, he is trying to kill me!"

Li Xiangyang knew Lin Weimin quite well, and seeing his frantic look, he knew that the rumors should be true.

He tried to catch Lin Weimin's words again, but Lin Weimin refused to answer, but asked him where these rumors came from.

"I heard from the people in the publicity department. Recently, the rumors have been very fierce. My colleagues are very concerned about you! Hehe!"

There was a bit of gloating in Li Xiangyang's tone.

Lin Weimin was a little distressed. In this world, there is no impenetrable wall.

You have to be more careful when doing this kind of thing in the future.

"It's all rumors, you big reporters who can tell right from wrong, you can't be used by villains with ulterior motives."

Li Xiangyang said: "Come on, I don't know you yet? Anyway, many people are looking for you now. In the past two months, everyone has been tortured by you, and now I don't know how many people stabbed your little one with needles behind your back." What about people!"

"I've said it all, this matter has nothing to do with me, don't make false statements. Friends are friends, and if you slander me, you will be sued for slander." Lin Weimin said angrily.

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you. It's all "Southern Metropolis Weekend" doing things against the law, causing anger and resentment, and it's God who wants to take them in."

This is almost the same, Teacher Lin finally has some psychological comfort.

After chatting and making jokes, Li Xiangyang finally said the business of calling this time, he wanted to make an interview with Lin Weimin.

"It's fine, why are you interviewing me?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Isn't it because of your "Spirited Away"? How many students have written to us, insisting that we interview you. I have saved more than 1000 questions here, all of which are waiting for you to answer."

Lin Weimin said helplessly, "How can I have time to accept your interview?"

"If you're like this, we don't do face-to-face interviews. I'll give you all the collected questions, and you can pick out some of them to answer, at least [-] questions, how about it?" Li Xiangyang made a suggestion.

Lin Weimin thought for a while, "That's fine, then send someone to bring it to me when you have time."

"Okay, but hurry up!"

"understood."

The next day, Li Xiangyang sent a stack of manuscript paper, and Lin Weimin couldn't help complaining: "Can't your newspaper office use office software to summarize these issues and put them on a floppy disk?"

"Do you think everyone is as rich as you? There are only two computers in the whole newspaper. Can we, who do rough work, use them?"

"Your chief reporter can't use it, who else can?"

"The chief reporter is useless, and I'm not the leader."

It could be seen that Li Xiangyang was full of complaints about this.

Back home at night, Han Dingbang and Yin Geli came with their little daughter.

Xiaonannan was born in 87, she is already five years old this year, and belongs to the older generation of the kindergarten elder sister.

As soon as she entered the door, she looked for Xiaodoubao everywhere, "Little Qianxun, little Qianxun, when will you grow up?"

In the past few months since "Spirited Away" was serialized, the sales of "Children's Age" have continued to rise, and the historical record of 120 million copies has already been broken.

Now every issue is making history, and it is making history in great strides.

Works like children's literature have an advantage. Although they usually seem to be very small, once the word-of-mouth is successfully fermented, the viral effect will be extremely terrifying.

After all, little bean dings have to go to school, and as long as there are a few loyal readers in a school, it is enough to promote this novel to everyone in a short period of time.

Moreover, these little beanies are not the same as the university monks. University monks claim to be well-informed and knowledgeable, and they have various doctrines and tendencies at every turn.

The demands of the little bean dings are much simpler, as long as they look good.

In its September issue, "Children's Age" had sold more than 140 million copies.

By the October issue, sales had climbed sharply again, reaching a staggering 190 million copies.

This kind of viral transmission is showing its power. "Spirited Away" has been serialized for five issues, and there are three issues before the end of the serialization. It is conceivable that in the next three issues, the sales volume of "Childhood" will still be at this exaggerated level. The increasing rate of increase has continuously created new and insurmountable history for Children's Times Society one after another.

Accompanied by the soaring sales of "Childhood", "Spirited Away" has a growing influence among primary and middle school students in China.

In just a few months, "Spirited Away" has become a common topic for all children of this age, and it is still being compatible upwards and downwards.

At the beginning, many parents only regarded "Spirited Away" as an ordinary fairy tale, and did not notice anything special.

But because of the love of children, many parents have to passively understand the story of "Spirited Away", just like Qu Xiaowei.

As a result, after reading the story, many adults appreciate the novel better than ignorant children.

There are also many adults who learned about the novel "Spirited Away" through chatting with colleagues and friends. After reading it, they thought it was good and told their children.

This is how Yin Geli told "Spirited Away" as a bedtime story to her little girl, and now the little girl is completely obsessed with the story.

The little aunt who is still in the swaddling bag is more important than all the toys, and I will come over every two days to see if the little aunt has grown up.

Also because of this sudden popularity, "Spirited Away" is gradually attracting the attention of mainstream literary circles and critics.

Over the past few months, newspapers and magazines have successively published book reviews on Spirited Away.

Last month, Yan Wenjing published an article "Spirited Away--A New Attempt in Chinese Children's Literature" in "Contemporary".

"The novel's sense of history and reality are delicately integrated with rich cultural connotations and profound philosophies, and in the fascinating storyline, it is instilled in the readers' hearts unconsciously.

Coupled with the exquisite and rigorous structure, dense density and fresh and elegant use of literary language, the work has achieved an aesthetic reading effect that appeals to both refined and popular tastes and is suitable for all ages with its excellent artistry.

It can be seen from this that a truly excellent literary work does not distinguish between subject matter, style, and length. It should have multiple functions such as entertainment, aesthetic value, cognitive value, and enlightenment.

The birth of "Spirited Away" undoubtedly blazed a new path for Chinese children's literature, which has gradually fallen into a fixed pattern, and greatly broadened the boundaries of this type of literature. It is a successful and beneficial attempt. "

In addition to being the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society, Yan Wenjing is also a well-known children's literature writer in my country. Although he has a good relationship with Lin Weimin, he has never published public comments on Lin Weimin's works.

The article "Spirited Away--A New Attempt in Chinese Children's Literature" published on "Contemporary" is Yan Wenjing's first review of Lin Weimin's novels, and he is full of praise and praise.

In addition to Yan Wenjing's review article, there is an even more eye-catching article among the many reviews, written by Mr. Bing Xin, who is over ninety years old.

This article was published in this month's "Literary News" with the title "A Look at Chinese Children's Literature from Spirited Away".

"On the whole, "Spirited Away" is a good work full of childlike innocence, fresh and timeless, profound meaning, and full of charm. Judging from the depth of the work and the skill of the novel, "Spirited Away" should also be It is one of the best children's literature works in contemporary China, and it is not inferior to many novels that have won the International Andersen Literary Award."

Seeing Mr. Bing Xin's high evaluation of "Spirited Away" in "Literary News", Lin Weimin was happy but also puzzled. The old man is over 90 years old and has been writing for many years. She said that she has no problem reading her own novels. , but writing a review article specially is too exaggerated.

After some inquiries, Lin Weimin found out that it was Qiu Shilong who specially asked the old man to write this article.

Speaking of the relationship between Mr. Bing Xin and "Children's Age", we have to start from the late 50s.

At that time, "Children's Times" had just started publication, and Feng Bingxu, the president and editor-in-chief, went to Yanjing to look for children's literature writer Yuan Ying to compose a manuscript. During this time, he chatted with Mr. Bing Xin's article "Resend Young Readers" that had just been published in the supplement of "People's Daily". I hope this article will be published in "Children's Times".

After being introduced by Yuan Ying, Feng Bingxu visited Mr. Bing Xin and obtained the reprinting right of "Resend Little Readers".

In 1978, "Children's Times" resumed publication, and Mr. Bing Xin made a special trip to write "Three Letters to Young Readers" for "Children's Times".

In addition, Mr. Bing Xin's works such as "Mom" and "I Was Almost Eaten by a Wolf" were also published in "Childhood".

When the fourth issue of "Spirited Away" was published, the sales volume broke the historical record. Qiu Shilong felt that something should be done to commemorate it.

After much deliberation, I thought of asking Mr. Bing Xin to write a review article for "Spirited Away". This way, not only can the reputation of "Spirited Away" be expanded, but also in a disguised form, it can create momentum for "Children's Age" and further enhance the popularity of "Spirited Away". magazine popularity.

Given the relationship between Mr. Bing Xin and "Children's Age", Qiu Shilong's request was naturally approved, and it happened that Mr. Bing Xin was also reading this novel.

She dictated it, and the younger generation of the family wrote it. It took a few days to write this review article. After communicating with Children's Times, the article was published in "Literary News".

After it was published, it did have an immediate effect, making Lin Weimin's first cross-border attempt at children's literature, "Spirited Away", received unparalleled attention from the domestic mainstream literary circles.
