1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 666 The troubles of happiness

Cheng Zaochun is one of the protagonists today. First, he introduced the situation of the eight writers present in detail.

The six writers Wang Meng, Jia Pingwa, Liang Xiaosheng, Huang Anyi, Jin Ying, and Tang Kangmei are all familiar to the reporters and guests present, and they are also well-known in the domestic literary world.

Today, the six of them made their debut as writers invited by the Buhuo series.

Different from the six of them, Hong Feng and Yuxiu appeared as contract writers for the essay solicitation.

After introducing the details of the eight writers, it was time for them to greet the media reporters. Each of the eight people had a few minutes. A few people will not work, and after a few simple chats, there is nothing to say.

Lin Weimin could only take the microphone, and after speaking a few words, he announced the titles of the first batch of books in the Buhu series.

"Abandoned City", author Jia Pingwa;

"Bitter Realm", author Hong Feng;
"Flower Season and Rainy Season" by Yuxiu.

Three works, three situations.

Jia Pingwa became famous at a young age, and she published her first book at the age of 23. Over the years, she has been a powerful writer in Shaanxi literary circles, and has a great reputation throughout the country. She is a long-established writer.

Hong Feng started his career with avant-garde literature in his early years, but his development in recent years has been unsatisfactory, and he was a bit depressed. This time, he once again returned to the public's attention by virtue of being selected into the Buhuo series.

Yuxiu is a high school student, and the first novel she wrote was selected into the Buhuo series. She is not only a newcomer writer, but also a student writer and a young girl writer.
However, compared with writers, journalists are more curious about the three works selected into the Buhuo series.

The Guowen Society put up the banner of "Calling for Papers with Millions of Manuscript Remuneration" and gave writers a high remuneration of "150 yuan per thousand characters". Everyone is curious about what kind of novels can be selected into the Buhuo series.

It's a pity that Lin Weimin ignored the raising of hands and questions from all the reporters present. After taking the microphone away, he deliberately explained to Jia Pingwa and the other three that he must not answer any questions about the work when he would answer questions from the reporters.

Until the last moment of listing, the contents of the cloth tiger series must not be leaked in the slightest.

The main thing is a mystery!
Only in this way can we maintain the sense of mystery and arouse the curiosity of the public as much as possible.

Next is the highlight of today's signing ceremony - the signing.

Each of the eight writers had a document in their hands, and Cheng Zaochun, the president, had a pile of documents in his hand.

Under the flashing lights and attention of the reporters, everyone lowered their heads to sign, and then exchanged documents, which was full of ceremony.

But in fact, the agreement that should be signed was signed yesterday, and these documents on the stage are just for show.

At the end of the photo session after signing the contract, Lao Cheng smiled like a flower with a dog's tail.

Today he is in the limelight, enough for a year.

Teacher Lin stood silently behind the scenes, laugh, laugh, and you will know what the words you sign mean in the future.

After taking the photos, it's time for reporters' favorite question-and-answer session.

As Lin Weimin expected, Wang Meng and Yuxiu were the two most interested reporters, followed by Huang Anyi and Jin Ying.

The two are the twin stars among female writers in China, and Jin Ying also has the position of deputy head of a provincial literary association, which is full of topicality.

After the half-hour interview and questions, the grand signing ceremony officially ended.

But the reporters didn’t give up. Most of them couldn’t make an appointment for a special interview, so they could only ask a few more questions at the entrance of the stage. Thirty or forty reporters blocked everyone there, and the scene was quite spectacular. .

After finally waiting for everyone to return to the small room, they were relieved.

Rao Wang Meng, an old writer and veteran cadre who has seen the world, couldn't help but wipe off his sweat in today's scene.

In the past, the level of interviews he accepted was much higher than today, but in terms of the enthusiasm of the reporters, today is definitely among the best.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

Lin Weimin expressed his condolences to everyone, and explained again. After the signing ceremony is over, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with everyone.

However, the Guowen Society arranged several media interviews afterwards, namely the Central People's Broadcasting Station, "Guangming Daily", "China Youth Daily" and "Wen Wei Po".

Eight writers interviewed two writers from each family, with both rain and dew, and one afternoon was enough.

After the interview, the Guowen Society also arranged a trip to Yanjing for the foreign writers among the eight writers. The service is not inconsiderate.

Before leaving, Yuxiu finds Lin Weimin and takes out a copy of "Spirited Away" for Lin Weimin to sign.

"You high school students also like to read this novel?" Lin Weimin asked with a smile.

"Many of our classmates like to watch it, and I like every character in it, especially the faceless ghost."

After all, Yuxiu is a little girl, when she mentions something she likes, her face becomes excited and she jumps for joy.

"I wish student Xiaoyu the best of luck in the college entrance examination, and a successful start!"

After Lin Weimin finished signing, he returned the novel to Yuxiu, and the little girl politely said thank you.

Then I saw the little girl took out another book and walked towards Wang Meng, "Mr. Wang, can you sign it for me?"

teacher LIN:……

"Hahaha!"

Jin Ying and Tang Kangmei laughed disregarding their appearance, and pointed at Lin Weimin while laughing. The mocking laughter made people very unhappy.

"Haha, Lin Weimin, you have today too!"

Everyone is a classmate of the Institute of Literature, and Yuxiu repeats what Lin Weimin did in the Institute of Literature, which can be regarded as a cycle of karma and retribution.

Ignoring the gloating of the two middle-aged women, Lin Weimin asked Huang Anyi, "Anyi, come to our house for dinner tonight."

Huang Anyi looked puzzled, "I still have something to do."

"What can you do? You have arrived in Yanjing, how can you not have a meal at your old classmate's house!"

When Lin Weimin was persuading, Jin Ying grabbed Huang Anyi's shoulders.

"An Yi doesn't have time to go to your house for dinner. I made an appointment with her to go to the National Art Museum of China to see the Rodin sculpture exhibition."

"Not only invite her, but you also go together."

"That's not available either."

After Jin Ying finished speaking, she ignored Lin Weimin's words, and dragged Huang Anyi and Tang Kangmei away.

The grand signing ceremony of the first batch of cloth tiger books was over, and it was quickly published in dozens of newspapers across the country on the second day.

"Grand signing of Cloth Tiger Series, the first batch of eight writers appeared" "Led by Wang Meng, many powerful writers joined Cloth Tiger Series" "The first batch of works of Cloth Tiger Series: Abandoned Capital, Bitter Realm, Flowering Season and Rainy Season" (the title of the single book cannot be displayed, Garbage starting point) "19-year-old genius girl writer signs cloth tiger series"...

Dozens of media reports appeared in one day, even if they were not front-page news, the readers they could cover and the influence they caused were extremely terrifying.

The news about Cloth Tiger Books, following the upsurge at the end of the year, once again swept the attention of Chinese people and became the hottest topic in the domestic news circle recently, attracting the strong attention of countless people and industry professionals.

"Leader, the production capacity really can't keep up. This year we have to expand production and increase efficiency. Our previous estimates were a bit insufficient. In the past two months of spring, "Spirited Away" alone has eaten up our remaining production capacity. Empty."

Mou Chunzhi is pouring bitter water on Cheng Zaochun.

In the past two years, not only has the number of books published by Guowenshe increased dramatically, but also Tongwenshe, a younger brother, has risen. The combined annual book printing volume of the two publishing houses exceeds 4500 million copies, and the combined printing volume of publications exceeds 7000 million copies. .

With such a huge printing volume, the printing business of Guowen Society has reached the upper limit of production capacity.

The Yanjing National Literature Printing Factory, located in Huangcun, Daxing County, was previously shared by the Guowen Society and the Tongwen Society.

The Xinhua Printing Factory, which has been cooperating with us all the year round, has reached its maximum production capacity for the Guowen Society.

In addition, there are several small printing factories that have cooperated with each other all the year round, such as Guanzhong Printing Factory, Mingcheng Printing Factory, and Aide Printing Factory that just cooperated last year. Either the printing volume is small, or the printing types are single, which cannot solve any major problems.

Since the launch of "Spirited Away" at the end of last year, sales of 50 copies in a week, 100 million copies in half a month, and 200 million copies in a month and a half have taken up all the remaining printing resources of the Guowen Society.

In the past few days, the three novels "Abandoned City", "Bitter Realm" and "Flower Season and Rainy Season" will be released soon, and the initial printing is 20 copies. Mou Chunzhi can only move around and postpone some less important reprints and reprints for a period of time. Printing and binding of new books.

But it's not an option to always tear down the east wall and patch up the west wall. Mou Chunzhi's worried hair has been falling out in handfuls recently.

If this really delayed the printing and sales of the new book, he would be responsible, so he hurried to find Cheng Zaochun to discuss the correct (shuai) policy (guo).

After listening to Mou Chunzhi's complaints, Cheng Zaochun couldn't help worrying. The business development is so good, it may not be all good things!

This happy trouble.

Cheng Zaochun called Lin Weimin over and asked Mou Chunzhi to explain the situation again.

"What do you think?" Cheng Zaochun asked.

"Can you have any ideas? Let's contact the printing factory to deal with it temporarily, and get over the current difficulties first. The next step is to expand the production capacity of the printing factory in Huangcun, or buy the printing factory, it depends on the arrangement in the agency."

Lin Weimin's idea was not surprising, it was consistent with Cheng Zaochun and Mou Chunzhi's, but Cheng Zaochun hesitated between "expanding the production capacity of the original printing factory" and "purchasing the printing factory".

"Why are you hesitating, let's do both!" Lin Weimin said carelessly.
