1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 657 Unprecedented Records

The rise and fall of Renyi has witnessed the cultural wave of China in the 80s, which makes people sigh.

Therefore, after retiring, he only has the identity of an actor, which is also a good thing for him, and he can concentrate on acting.

At the end of the farewell banquet, many people drank too much. Mu Sen mingled with the group of colleagues, his figure was shaky, but his mind was always clear.

Several leaders in the courtyard were seeing Teacher Lin off. After Teacher Lin drank, they specially asked the dean's driver, Xiao He, to help drive.

The deputy dean of Humanities and Arts is at the deputy bureau level, but he enjoys the treatment at the bureau level, with a car and a driver.

Mu Sen watched the car go away with complicated emotions.

During the meal just now, he went to toast Mr. Lin with a glass of wine, and got encouragement from Mr. Lin, but this could not eliminate the depression in his heart and the depression that life brought him.

At that time, he won the appreciation of Dean Yu and Mr. Lin for his adaptation of the play "Jiajing and Hai Rui" from "Daming Dynasty 1566". The object is also the key training object of human art.

It's a pity that after so many years, he has written four drama scripts, each of which received a good response, but they still can't reach the height of "Jiajing and Hai Rui".

Among them, there are problems of their own capabilities, as well as problems of the general environment.

When he wrote "Jiajing and Hai Rui", he stood on Teacher Lin's shoulders, which was a coincidence.

Coupled with the continuous decline of the domestic drama market in recent years, the attention of drama in the literary and art market has continued to decline, especially the rise of TV dramas, which has seized a large number of audiences who originally belonged to movies and dramas. Many drama audiences have not entered for a long time. Been to the theater.

Seeing those classmates and colleagues who were not as good as him in the past, now joining the film and TV circles, one by one, all of them are flourishing, Zhao Sen can't help but feel a little unbalanced.

In the past few years, he has been married and had children, and the financial pressure is also great, but he has some artistic persistence in his heart, and he disdains to write some crude TV drama scripts.

Full of contradictory mentality, Mu Sen was in a dilemma and extremely depressed.

If only I had the talent of Mr. Lin!

Entering December, the weather is getting colder and colder. As soon as the heavy snow is over, it really snows heavily in Yanjing City, and it is difficult to even drive a car.

Since Tao's father came to Beijing, Tao's father and Tao's mother lived in the house prepared by Lin Weimin for them, the second courtyard next to the Forbidden City.

There are two elder sisters Sun and Qin at home to help, but it is not practical for the two of them, but the two old people still can't help it. They go to the small courtyard early in the morning and come back at night, no matter how much Tao Huimin persuades them listen.

Catch up with the heavy snowfall today, Lin Weimin drove the two elders home.

After seeing off Tao's father and Tao's mother, Lin Weimin was planning to drive home.

A black tiger head drove past the gate of the courtyard and brushed against Lin Weimin's car. Lin Weimin was about to get in the car, but the car that just passed stopped by the side of the road.

Stepping on the snow with black pointed leather shoes, a gentleman in a suit and overcoat got out of the car, looked at Lin Weimin, and quickly said, "Oh! Teacher Lin, it's really you!"

Lin Weimin heard the voice familiar, and when someone approached, he realized that it was Li Chengru.

It's different when you have money. Dressing up rich and powerful.

"Chengru, I almost didn't recognize you, the change is really big! You've made a fortune!" Lin Weimin teased.

Li Chengru can pretend to be like others, but he can't pretend to Lin Weimin. Mr. Lin is the master who can donate 80 million in the 1000s, and he has been tossing for so many years, that is, in the past two years of foreign exchange speculation. The profit will exceed ten million.

"You're joking. It's been a long time since I saw you. What are you today..."

"This house is for my father-in-law and mother-in-law. It's snowing today, let's take them home," Lin Weimin explained.

Li Chengru said: "No wonder I can't touch you, not even Zhuangzhuang."

"What about you, are you still living here?"

"No. I moved a long time ago, and now I live in the Asian Games Village. Come over to have dinner with my mother today."

"Be filial."

After a few pleasantries, Li Chengru invited Lin Weimin to have some dinner at home, but Lin Weimin rejected his invitation on the grounds that he had already eaten dinner.

Li Chengru then took out a box of cigars from the trunk of his Hutouben, "I haven't seen you for several years and you don't eat, so you have to take this thing away. Cuban cigars taste very mellow, and the people around me smoke them." All said, you have a try."

"No, no, I don't smoke cigars either."

"This is my heart. You are a strong elder, and you are my elder. You have to keep this thing."

Li Chengru managed to get Lin Weimin to accept the things, so he showed a satisfied smile, and said: "I didn't know your old man lived here before, but now I know, I will ask my parents to come and visit me later, and accompany the old man to relieve boredom." .”

It's a good idea.

After thanking Li Chengru, the two got into their cars and left.

Back home, Lin Weimin took the box of cigars into the house, and Tao Huimin asked, "You don't smoke, where did you get this?"

Lin Weimin told the story of meeting Li Chengru just now, and Tao Huimin asked, "Is that 'Three Li'?"

"It's him, he's the one who drove Xidan Tete."

Xidan Special Clothing Mall is Li Chengru's property. When it first opened, it was famous in Yanjing City because of the tall and beautiful Sai stewardess recruited as shopping guides.

At its peak, the daily turnover exceeded RMB 50, which earned Li Chengru the reputation of "Three Lis of Yanjing".

"I remember he and Zhuang Zhuang are classmates, right?"

"Well, they're all from amateur acting classes."

"This man is quite polite."

Although Li Chengru's actions are a bit suspicious of a nouveau riche, it is not surprising that there are many people who are polite.

A few days later, Lin Weimin took the initiative to sign a publishing contract with the agency, which was "Spirited Away".

"Spirited Away" has been serialized for seven issues since June, and it will be the last issue next month.

After more than half a year of serialization, the novel's reputation in the field of domestic children's literature has been completely opened up, and it has been praised by many critics as "the most outstanding work in the field of domestic children's literature in the past 30 years", and it has also caused a sensation among countless children across the country. strong response.

Because of the serialization of this novel, the sales volume of "Children's Age" jumped from 40 copies earlier to 270 million copies per issue.

The January 93 issue is the last issue of "Spirited Away", and it is not difficult to predict that the sales volume will exceed 300 million copies.

This figure not only broke the sales record of "Children's Age", but also broke the sales record of domestic children's literature publications, creating a record that has never been seen before, and is likely to be unprecedented.

In the second half of 1992, countless Chinese children had a magnificent dream, and "Spirited Away" was destined to become an indelible part of their beautiful childhood memories.

It has already passed mid-December, and there is still more than half a month before the release of the last issue of "Spirited Away" "Children's Era" on the market. Just right.

When the time comes, the booklet will be released before the year, and it will definitely become a big weapon for harvesting the lucky money of elementary school monks.

"Color printing, must be color printing."

"Illustrations must be exquisite. Let people draw the images of each character first, and then I will comment."

"It doesn't matter if the cost is high, isn't it over if the price is higher?"

"Why are you afraid of being expensive? Do children look at the price when buying books?"

In order to harvest the pocket money of the primary school monks, Mr. Lin was insane and cruel.

He didn't believe that this group of elementary school monks could refuse the color version of "Spirited Away" with illustrations.

At the end of the year, it is not easy for Mr. Lin to improve his performance.

For a fairy tale novel of 10,000+ characters, it is not difficult to edit and review, and the Guowen Society can find any editor to handle it.

However, in terms of illustration design, Lin Weimin has very high requirements. It took half a month of communication and drawing several versions of characters and scenes before reaching the level he was satisfied with, which was completely based on the original version.

In early January, "Childhood", which carried the last issue of "Spirited Away", went on the market as scheduled, and the first print of this issue was 280 million copies.

Because of the preview of the previous issue, all readers know that the story of "Spirited Away" will come to an end in this issue, and they are eagerly waiting for this day.

Therefore, as soon as the January 1993 issue of "Children's Age" was released, it was snapped up by readers. Everyone wanted to have a sneak peek to see if Little Chihiro could save her parents, and the details of many characters in the story. ending.

Along with the serialization of the finale of "Spirited Away", the separate edition of "Spirited Away" by Guowenshe also arrived as scheduled.

Some people in the Guowen Society think that it is unwise to publish a separate volume of "Spirited Away" when "Children's Age" is selling well. After all, "Children's Age" is still on sale, and it will definitely divert some readers.

But they still underestimated the magic of Spirited Away.

After the first print of 50 copies of "Spirited Away" was placed on the shelves of bookstores and post offices across the country, it faced a bigger rush than the January issue of "Childhood".

"Spirited Away" has been serialized for eight issues, spanning more than half a year. The potential of readers has been fully tapped. It can be said that it has swept the domestic readers under the age of 16. At the same time, it also has a certain market among readers over the age of 16.

Only one week after the booklet was released, 50 copies of "Spirited Away" were sold out.

This speed set a record for Lin Weimin's works, no, it should be the fastest sales record in the history of Chinese contemporary literature. Seeing this situation, the Guowen Press urgently printed 100 million copies and sent them to all parts of the country.

As soon as this news came out, the domestic literary world was once again shocked by Lin Weimin's appeal to readers.

50 volumes a week, what kind of concept is this?
Let's put it this way, Lin Weimin's "Farewell My Concubine" has now sold more than 600 million copies in China. In the contemporary literary world, it can be said that works that can achieve this sales volume can be said to be rare, and only some classic literary masterpieces that have been published for decades can Stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

But with the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine", it took nearly three months for the sales volume to exceed 50 copies.

However, "Spirited Away" actually advanced this number to one week. Such popularity has exceeded the cognition of many people in the literary world, and they can't even understand it with common sense.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced the era of fans to understand this frenzy.

Of course, the popularity of "Spirited Away" is based on the work itself, so it has a longer-lasting appeal and a larger audience than those products of the fan economy in later generations.

Also because of the popularity of "Spirited Away", the name Lin Weimin has been completely imprinted in the minds of this generation of children.

In the past, Lin Weimin's writings were all for adults. Even though he has a great reputation, his name has only been heard of among the children and teenagers in China.

This time "Spirited Away" turned out, Lin Weimin won the love of countless children.

Not as Lin Weimin, a great writer who is well-known at home and abroad, but as the author of "Spirited Away".

This kind of childhood filter, even after decades, cannot be erased from the hearts of these children, and it has become the most beautiful scenery in their lives.
