1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 669

Comrades in government agencies should be familiar with the term secondment.

The work in the unit is busy and there is no staff, so secondment has become the best choice.

In the past, the Guowen Society rarely had such a thing as secondment, and other units were seconded from the Guowen Society. For example, Lao Niu was seconded to the "China" magazine under the Cultural Association.

The Guowen Society, which has always been strong and strong, and has even reached the level of redundancy, has experienced a "talent shortage" and "editor shortage" for the first time. Hearing this news, Cheng Zaochun, as the president, not only did not panic and worry, but felt relieved.

What does the lack of people in the society mean?
It shows that the development is good!
Not only that, but it can also promote the flow of talents within the agency to a certain extent.

You must know that in the past few years, he has worried about this matter almost every year.

Who doesn't want to make progress, but there are only so many leadership positions in the club, and the ability is enough, but the positions can't keep up. Ambitious young people still don't run away?

"I'll contact you about this matter, and I will add 4 more people to your Buhuo series editorial team. Your editorial team has too much work, and the agency will provide a separate subsidy for these few people. In addition, other people in your editorial team also have one. subsidy."

After understanding the situation, Cheng Zaochun waved his hand in an unprecedented gesture of generosity.

Lin Weimin looked at him in surprise, is this a sex change?

Cheng Zaochun didn't change his temper, but saw the potential of the cloth tiger series.

The first batch of three novels went on the market for a month and sold 180 million copies, which is simply amazing.

Not all writers are named Lin Weimin. In the contemporary literary world, if a work can sell 100 million copies within a year, it is enough to set off a monstrous trend in the literary world.

For example, Cheng Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain" and Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" both sold more than one million copies in the year they were released, which had a huge impact on the literary world and readers, and became a cultural phenomenon.

According to the sales forecast of the first three works of the Buhu series in the first month, almost none of the books will sell less than 200 million copies, and the most exaggerated "Waste Capital" may even reach tens of millions of copies .

Lao Cheng is picky, but not stupid.

If you want the horse to run, of course you have to feed the horse.

What horses eat is grass and what they milk is milk!

Cheng Zaochun went out in person, seconded four young and vigorous editors from several brothers' units, and suddenly enriched the editorial team of the Buhuo Series, allowing the editorial staff who had been exhausted for more than two months to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the future work will definitely be as busy as ever, at least I don't have to worry about my sudden death.

Good thing, good thing!

The Buhuo series has siphoned a large number of novel manuscripts in a short period of time, which has also had a certain impact on major domestic publishing houses and literary journals.

These units were surprised to find that since the beginning of the past month, the number of manuscripts submitted to the editorial department or the manuscripts that the editors can gather is decreasing sharply.

After casually inquiring about acquainted writers, the editors found out that manuscripts had flocked to Yanjing, Guowen Society, and Buhuo Series.

Faced with this situation, many colleagues couldn't help but kindly (ma) cordially (ma) ask (lie) greet (lie) Guowenshe.

If you say that you are engaged in book series, you will be engaged in book series, so why are you trying to get your salary out of the bottom line?
Not a human being!
Many literary journals and publishing houses are running out of manuscripts for novels, and even "Contemporary" is not immune.

Jingfu’s just-finished "Bali Love and Enmity" was originally agreed to be published on "Contemporary", but seeing that the sales volume of "Abandoned City" by my friend Jia Pingwa was soaring after it was selected into the Buhuo series, where does Jingfu Can withstand this temptation!

Resolutely sent the manuscript to the editorial team of Buhuo Series.

When He Qizhi heard the news, he was furious and went to Jingfu to question him, but Jingfu first pretended to be crazy, and then raised the example of Gao Jianqun.

The first half of Gao Jianqun's "The Last Hun" was published in "Contemporary" in December last year, and received rave reviews, but because it had already been published in a journal, it could not be selected into the Buhuo series.

Seeing that Jia Pingwa's "Abandoned City" sold 100 million copies in a month, Gao Jianqun felt nothing but envy and jealousy.

Three months, just three months, if he finishes the first half of "The Last Hun" three months later, maybe he is the one who is soaring now.

Jingfu didn't want to make the same mistakes as Gao Jianqun. Anyway, before the work was released, he would break his promise. He couldn't just give up money for the sake of face.

He Qizhi never expected that Jingfu would put on such a faceless attitude. He had no choice but to go to the editorial team of Buhuo Series to make trouble for Jingfu.

We all belong to the same unit. We have supported you in the series of books, but now you have uprooted us, which is unreasonable.

He Qizhi didn't dare to go to Lin Weimin, so he caught Gao Xianjun, and gave him a heavy blow, which made him drool all over his face.

Gao Xianjun wiped his face, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Old He, you have wronged us. Other writers contribute voluntarily, what can we do!"

Although it is very clear that Gao Xianjun's words are not wrong, He Qizhi still clings to him, understanding is what he understands, and if the manuscript is not returned to us, this matter must not be let go.

If I can't cure the author, I can't cure you?

Gao Xianjun said speechlessly: "Old He, can you let go of me first?"

"Give me the manuscript first."

"Some writers want to vote for us by name. I'll give you the manuscript. Do you dare to ask for it?"

He Qizhi stopped talking, of course it won't work, "Then you all reject the manuscript first, and say it doesn't meet the selection criteria."

"Old He, aren't you embarrassing me? "Eight Miles of Love and Enmity" is also good. Besides, you are not afraid that Jingfu will go elsewhere if he is angry?"

He Qizhi was also a little worried when he heard the words, indeed, it's going to rain, and Niang is going to get married, so he can't think of a good way except to be a rascal.

"How about...let's discuss it with the editor-in-chief!" Gao Xianjun suggested.

He Qizhi hesitated for a moment and could only do so.

The two came to Lin Weimin's office and explained the situation. Lin Weimin couldn't laugh or cry after listening.

What is this called!
"For the people, you have to decide for us!" He Qizhi shouted.

"What's Jingfu thinking?" Lin Weimin asked.

"He has identified Buhuo now. Jia Pingwa's "Abandoned Capital" is too powerful, not only for Jingfu, but the first choice for many long-form manuscripts is either "Contemporary" or "Harvest". Well, it's all monopolized by the Buhu Books." He Qizhi said dissatisfied.

"Old He, don't get emotional. Buhuo doesn't need so many manuscripts, don't the manuscripts that have been printed still have to flow back to you?"

"Can the big girl and the widow be the same?"

Gao Xianjun couldn't help laughing at the rough words, and Lin Weimin also laughed.

"All right, all right, stop complaining!" Lin Weimin persuaded, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, let me communicate with Jingfu, "Bali Love and Enmity" will still be published by "Contemporary"."

He Qizhi immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words, "Thank you, editor-in-chief."

If you use it, you will be the editor-in-chief, if you don’t need it, it will be for the people, um, it’s true.

Gao Xianjun became anxious, "The editor-in-chief..."

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "Let's do it this time. Lao He, I can tell you that if this kind of thing happens in the future, I can't let Buhuo suffer."

He Qizhi wanted to go back to "Eight Miles of Love and Enmity", he was in a good mood, nodded and said: "No problem."

After the two left, Lin Weimin contacted Jingfu. He heard that his manuscript caused internal conflicts in the Guowen Society. Jingfu was also a little embarrassed, but the money was touching, and he still had no intention of transferring the manuscript elsewhere.

Lin Weimin had no choice but to persuade: "The popularity of "Abandoned Capital" has its own particularity, and not every book in the Buhuo series is such a bestseller."

Jingfu also understands this truth. He didn't expect his "Love and Enmity" to reach the level of "Abandoned Capital", but even the level of "Bitter Realm" is fine!

With 30 copies a month, it shouldn't take much to sell 200 million copies.

After understanding Jingfu's thoughts, Lin Weimin said with a smile: "The quality of the finished book "Bali Love and Enmity" is very good. If you publicize it well, even if it is not selected into the Buhuo series, it will still achieve good sales."

Jing Fu was skeptical of his words, Lin Weimin said again: "How about this, "Bali Love and Enmity" will still be published in "Contemporary", our Guowen Society arranges to publish it as soon as possible, and at the same time vigorously publicize it, the sales will definitely not be bad."

Lin Weimin is the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society. Being able to make a special call to communicate about this matter has already given him a lot of face. What he said has reached this point, and Jingfu also knows that if he persists, he will offend others.

"Okay, then listen to you."

Finally, Jing Fu got it right, Lin Weimin informed He Qizhi and Gao Xianjun of the news, and asked them to hand over the manuscript of "Love and Enmity in Eight Miles".

After finishing his work, Lin Weimin couldn't help but sighed.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. If it hadn't been for such a thing within the Guowen Society, he wouldn't have called Jingfu to discuss it.

Fortunately, the result is still good.

A few days later, a seminar on the works of "The Last Hun" was held in the large conference room of the Guowen Society.

In December last year, the first half of "The Last Hun" was published in the 12th issue of "Contemporary", because only half of the content was published, so the work seminar was delayed.

It was not until this month that the second half of "The Last Hun" was published in the fourth issue of "Contemporary" this year that the work seminar was held.

In recent years, it seems to have gradually become a common practice for well-known writers to hold a workshop on their works after their works are published or published, regardless of the response.

This time, the Guowen Society invited a group of writers, literary critics, and scholars to participate in the work seminar on "The Last Hun" as usual, and also invited two reporters to participate. After the work seminar, the reporters can issue some press releases to expand The popularity and influence of the work.

Early in the morning, a group of people walked into the Guowen Club.

Literature is a circle, and everyone hangs out in the circle, and they are familiar with each other and chat with each other in a few words.

Han Xiaohui is a reporter from "Guangming Daily". Today, she was invited to participate in a writer's work seminar for the first time. Seeing everyone's acquaintance, she felt very curious.

He Zhenbang is the dean, professor, and well-known literary critic of the National Academy of Arts. He was specially invited to attend the seminar today. When he saw Lin Weimin, he said enthusiastically: "Weimin, your Guowen Society is going to catch all the writers in Shaanxi. !"

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "Principal, you've got it wrong. It's not that we want to catch all Shaanxi writers, but that Shaanxi writers are 'wielding their swords'!"

"Eastern Expedition? Hehe, this statement is interesting!" He Zhenbang said.

Han Xiaohui, who was on the side, was moved when he heard the words, and looked at the Shaanxi writers in the team thoughtfully.
