1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 780: Curses and sales soar

After Lin Xiangrong and his wife left, the excitement at the entrance of the Chinese Literature Society disappeared, and everyone asked Xiao Zhou about the situation.

Xiaoyi narrated the process to everyone in detail. Of course, this "[-]" was added with his own understanding.

"Let me tell you, the editor-in-chief is a very kind and well-intentioned person! That guy surnamed Lin doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth. He has made such a big mistake, and he still expects the editor-in-chief to help him solve the problem?

But the editor-in-chief said he would not help, but actually pointed out a clear path for them.Our editor-in-chief is much more humane than their shabby school. "

Xiao Zhou sang praises to Lin Weimin, but also cursed: "The people outside are really evil. They want to scold a good person like the editor-in-chief. It's really unconscionable!"

But my colleagues laughed and said: "The more fierce they scold me, the better the editor-in-chief's novels are."

"What else is there to say?"

"Don't you understand this? Look at the people who criticize the editor-in-chief, and then look at their political tendencies. To put it bluntly, these people admire Western things. Some people are eager to Wearing white skin. The editor-in-chief says the United States is not good, will they be happy?"

Xiao Zhou muttered: "So, that Lin Zhifa shouldn't help either."

"Hey, don't think that re-study will be so easy. He has already passed the Mizuki entrance examination, and he will definitely have to return to his hometown to re-study. Then the criticism from neighbors, relatives and friends will be enough for him, and he has wasted four years. If you don't have the endurance, you may not be able to get into college.

Moreover, even if he is admitted to university again, the things on his file will be with him for the rest of his life, and will not be reused in any unit. "

Xiao Zhou thought about the situation that Lin Zhifa might face, and felt relieved in his heart, "It's his own fault!"

"It's up to you to take the blame or not. That's his business. Now that he's gone, you can rest assured, right?" Lin Weimin said to Cheng Wuchun.

In the past few days, Lin Xiangrong's family was blocked at the gate of the Chinese Literature Society, neither crying nor making trouble, but the pressure it brought to Cheng Wanchun was very great.

Although Uncle Lin's family did not cause trouble, their behavior was ultimately soft moral kidnapping, and Lin Weimin would definitely not stand up for them.

After being left alone for a few days, they saw that there was nothing to look forward to here, and they became desperate.But they can't completely despair. People will always be hysterical when they have no choice. If something happens on the territory of the Chinese Literature Society, it will be really embarrassing. That's why Lin Weimin gave up in the end. Xiao Zhou brought a message to Lin Xiangrong's family.

After desperation, re-study became their best choice.

Lin Weimin also believed that even if he didn't remind them, they would make this choice after calming down.

Get this family away quickly so that Lao Cheng can feel at ease soon.

He, the Supreme Emperor, is now used to being at ease, and he can't stand the slightest disturbance, so he has to take good care of him.

"It's not all your fault!"

Lin Weimin had no choice but to kill the donkey, but Lao Cheng was now becoming more and more skilled at it.

"I am also a disaster, okay? Shuimu's teacher may think that I am easy to talk to, so he comes to me to give them random ideas. What can I do?"

Cheng Wuchun said gloatingly: "It doesn't matter if a few students burn books. Look at those newspapers and magazines. I also heard that several professors from Yan'an Normal University and Shuimu reported your problems to the department."

"Reflect on my problem? What is my problem?"

"Hehe. It hurts the feelings of the American people and undermines the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Hey, this hat is quite big!"

Lin Weimin asked: "Who did you listen to?"

"Leader!" Cheng Wanchun's expression was smug. Although you have real power now, I am taking the upper-level route.

"What was the reaction from the department?"

"Just pretend you didn't listen. Your novel is recognized by big leaders. Who dares to criticize it? Only those who want to achieve total Westernization dare to do this."

"It seems that these people have taken me as a target!"

Cheng Zaochun asked with a smile: "Then what do you think?"

Lin Weimin looked relaxed, "What an honor!"

Cheng Wuchun couldn't laugh anymore.

hateful!I was tricked by this kid again.

The episode involving Lin Xiangrong's family has passed, but the outside world's criticism of Lin Weimin is still fierce and is getting more intense.

The influence of the novel "God Bless the United States" in China is huge, and it is precisely because of this huge influence that many pro-rice factions are jumping around.

Since the reform and opening up, the domestic media's propaganda of Western countries has changed from the east wind to the west wind. Over the years, it has formed a general trend.

There are a large number of people who advocate Western culture and systems in the cultural, ideological and even political circles. Some people even dare to openly propose the idea of ​​​​complete Westernization, and this kind of speech has a market and audience in various fields in the country.

The emergence of "God Bless the United States" has made these pro-rice factions jump because it has, to a certain extent, weakened the country's positive image propaganda of the West, especially the United States, over the years, causing many people who were originally just influenced by the media to Chinese people who have a favorable impression of Western countries and cultures have become wary of these countries.

This kind of weakening and vigilance is of course not comprehensive. It is unrealistic to try to dig out the influence of so many years with a novel.

But as long as the impression is generated, it is a victory in the competition of public opinion, just like when the west wind began to rise.

And interestingly, "God Bless the United States" has been on the market for one month. If we follow the previous reactions after the publication of Lin Weimin's works, even if it is a mixed success, the focus of public opinion should be on the content of the work itself.But what is different this time is that there are loud discussions from all walks of life and endless news media reports, but the focus of attention has long been blurred, separated from the work itself, and more focused on whether the United States is what is written in the novel. Naturally, it included a large number of voices criticizing and smearing Lin Weimin and whitewashing the United States.

What's more interesting is that despite the noisy local news media nowadays, just looking at certain newspapers and magazines, some people may mistakenly think that Lin Weimin has fallen into a situation where everyone is shouting for beatings.

But the real mainstream media has almost no voice.

This loss of voice reminded Lin Weimin of Rabbit's usual operations.

In those years when his strength didn't allow it, he always did this when he was making small moves in secret.

The successful publication of "God Bless the United States" was approved by the big leaders, but it seems a bit too deliberate for the official to really support this novel.

Therefore, silence has become the best choice.

These people are not kind!

Lin Weimin was regarded as a leader. Although it had no real impact on him, it was uncomfortable to be scolded all day long.

Despite the public criticism in the media, he has recently been receiving a mountain of letters from readers.

The tendency of readers to write in is a better reflection of the true evaluation of the novel "God Bless America" ​​than the articles openly criticizing him.

Most of these letters from readers are supporters of Lin Weimin. Many people not only expressed their love and appreciation for "God Bless the United States" in their letters, but also expressed their support for Lin Weimin.

The relationship between China and the United States has been tense this year. Although newspapers seem to be full of pro-American factions, among the real people, hating the United States is [-]% politically correct.

The emergence of "God Bless the United States" can be regarded as catering to the needs and aspirations of the majority of the people today, although this catering was not Lin Weimin's original intention.

In addition to this group of readers, there are also letters from a small group of readers who are opponents of Lin Weimin.

But compared to those who publicly criticized and criticized him, the attitudes of these letter writers were much more rational. Most people's attitudes were to discuss rather than criticize.

Only a small part of the letters were completely malicious criticisms. Lin Weimin's choice for these letters was to burn them directly, and he would never cause any trouble to himself.

It has been a month since the release of "God Bless America". Amid the overwhelming criticism, the sales of the novel are like riding on a rocket, creating new history every day.

On the 35th day after the novel went on sale, the total sales of the novel officially exceeded 300 million copies, creating an unprecedented miracle.

Such crazy sales are related to the quality of the novel and Lin Weimin's fame, but the biggest reason should be the illusion of collective accusation against Lin Weimin recently created by pro-rice factions in various media.

There is a word in the entertainment industry called "black and red" in later generations. Lin Weimin has this trend now. The bigger the pro-rice faction makes a fuss and the louder the scolding, the faster the novel seems to be sold. Such a situation makes this gang even more The popularity was devastated, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

As long as the mainstream media stays put, given Lin Weimin's authority and status in the domestic literary world, these pro-rice factions cannot shake him at all.

This group of people probably understood the situation and saw that public opinion could not influence Lin Weimin, so they started making official plans again.

A few days later, Lin Weimin received the news, and this group of people went to the Rites and WJ Departments to complain.

I guess he complained to the department, but when he saw no response, he ran to these two units to cause trouble for Lin Weimin.

Faced with these people jumping up and down, Lin Weimin sat firmly on Diaoyutai. Now I have the advantage. There is no need to interact with these clowns to increase their popularity.

He is still busy working at the Chinese Literature Society every day. When he gets home from get off work, he just eats, plays with his children, and occasionally reads "A Romantic Affair".

This TV series invested 200 million yuan in total and shot 20 episodes. A single episode invested 10 yuan, which is not very high, but not low either. With the cooperation of the iron triangle of Ren Hao, Wei Ren, and Haiyan, the quality of the finished film is very high. high.

The broadcast platform is still CCTV, and the ratings have remained high since the day it was broadcast.

Cops and robbers + romance is still a very new model for audiences in this era. Men watch cops and robbers, and women watch romance, which firmly locks the audience.

18.5%, 21.3%, 25.9%…

The ratings of "A Romantic Affair" have been approaching 30%, and the highest ratings are about to reach the third part of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", only lower than "Wu Zetian".

The TV series "Wu Zetian" premiered on January 1, followed by "The True Colors of the Police", and after it was the third part of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The ratings of this TV series were good after it was aired, with a ratings of 34.7% in the finale, and it currently ranks first in CCTV's ratings this year.

But it looks like he won't be able to stay at the top spot for long.

The ratings of "A Romantic Affair" are reaching new highs every day. On the fifth day of the TV series' broadcast, the ratings have exceeded 5%, surpassing the record set by "Wu Zetian" in just a moment. between.

The facts are no different from what everyone thought. When "A Romantic Affair" aired to its 18th episode, the ratings reached 35.2%.

The ratings for the subsequent finale were as high as 39.6%, almost exceeding 40%.

When Haiyan told Lin Weimin the news, there was a bit of regret in his tone.

40% is a bottomless chasm for today’s TV dramas.

The first TV series after the establishment of Wencheng Film and Television touched the edge of this record, but it was so close that it was impossible not to regret it.

"Mr. Hai, don't put so much pressure on yourself. The first TV series has achieved such high ratings, what else are you dissatisfied with?
I think you should pay more attention to the copyright sales of TV series! Lin Weimin said with a smile.
