1980 My Literary Era

Chapter 97
Lin Weimin is not qualified to participate in the pre-editorial meeting in the society. Wei Junyi said that "Farewell My Concubine" will be discussed at the pre-editorial meeting, which proves that everyone is really not sure about the content of this novel.

The 80s is a very magical era, seemingly conservative, but extremely open.

The reform and opening up is not only aimed at the economy, but the domestic cultural circle is also facing the impact of countless new ideas and new phenomena. Throughout the past ten years, almost every year there will be a big discussion with the participation of all the people.

Regardless of whether they are officials, intellectuals, or citizens, no matter what their status is, everyone has participated in the discussion of these social phenomena with great enthusiasm.

Compared with the literary works in recent years, the criticism of the political part of the novel "Farewell My Concubine" is not large. What really confuses everyone is the unique emotional portrayal in the novel.

This kind of content related to public order and good customs is also one of the contents that the publishing house must control.

After Tan Chaoyang attended the pre-editor meeting in the club, he came back and told Lin Weimin that the manuscript for "Farewell My Concubine" was over, and that the next issue of "People's Literature" would be published.

Lin Weimin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be too happy." Tan Zhaoyang warned.

"The manuscript has only just begun. There are many old editors in the agency who object to publishing your novel. They are not targeting you, but to protect you.

You must know that once your manuscript is published, there will be praises, but there will definitely be criticisms.Once someone with a heart goes online, the impact on you will be extremely unfavorable. "

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "Praise is for praise, and criticism is for criticism. I am just an author. When this work is published, it does not belong to me completely."

A strange color flashed in Tan Chaoyang's eyes, "Yo, I didn't expect that you still have this awareness now, kid?"

"Leader, are you underestimating people again? I have to improve too!"

"It's a good thing. It's finally a bit mature. Don't be like a grandson all day long."

People who listen to this kind of praise are very painful. Obviously what you said earlier is very good, why do you have to add that half sentence later?
However, what Lin Weimin said to Tan Chaoyang was not a lie. During these days when "Farewell My Concubine" was stuck, he also wanted to open up a little bit.

Send it if you can, and send it elsewhere if you can’t.If it is true that it is not distributed everywhere, it can only show that the problem of the novel is really big, no wonder others.

Now that the agency is sure that it can be released, Lin Weimin's heart has completely settled down.

Being able to publish it represents the approval of the novel by the club. Even if there are criticisms from the outside world in the future, with the big umbrella of the club, he will be able to avoid the rain.

Zhijiang, Haiyan County.

As usual, the postman threw the letter along the courtyard wall into the courtyard and then rode away on his bicycle. The letter lay quietly on the ground for a long time until Yu Hua came home from get off work from the hospital.

Yu Hua picked up the letter and saw the words "Contemporary" editorial department on it, and couldn't help but feel a little anticipation and excitement in his heart.

Back in the house, my mother is cooking and my father is listening to the radio.

"Retracted again?"

Yu Hua didn't speak, he opened the letter, read the letter at a glance, his expression was ecstatic.

"Dad! Mom! "Contemporary" asked me to go to Yanjing to revise the manuscript!"

"What?" The father stood up from the chair abruptly, and the mother also rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife. The two looked at Yu Hua in disbelief.

""Contemporary" asked you to revise the manuscript?"

Yu Hua nodded vigorously, "Yes. They said that my novel is well written, and invited me to Yanjing to revise the manuscript. If it goes well, I can publish it."

The faces of father and mother are full of excitement. The son has been writing for the past two years. He has sent manuscripts for countless times and returned them many times. up.

"Did you say when to go?" Father Yu asked.

"The letter said that I should call them back, the sooner the better."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and call them back." Yu's father said something to Hua, then turned to his mother and said, "Today, make two more dishes for lunch."

Mother Yu agreed with a smile all over her face.

Yu Hua suppressed the smile on his face, he didn't even bother to ride his bicycle, and just ran to the health center, where he could make outside calls.

After finally getting through the phone, Yu Hua said excitedly, "Hi, I'm Yu Hua".

On the other end of the phone was an old-sounding voice, "You are Yu Hua. Wait a minute, I'll let Lin Weimin talk to you."

While waiting, Yu Hua could even feel the powerful beating of his chest until a magnetic male voice appeared in the receiver. This beating seemed to make the world quiet, and he could only hear this voice in his ears.

"Hello? Is that Yu Hua? Are you still there?"

Lin Weimin yelled several times, and Yu Hua finally came to his senses, "Lin... Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Yu Hua."

"Hehe, hello Comrade Yu Hua. You should have received the letter from the editorial department inviting you to come to Beijing to revise the manuscript, right?"

"Received, received." Yu Hua said hastily.

"How about your "Star", the content is not bad, but the ending is a bit dark, can you make it brighter?"

Without even thinking about it, Yu Hua said, "Yes. As long as it can be published, you can make me shine from the beginning to the end."

Lin Weimin was amused by him, "Hehe, it's not that exaggerated, just change the ending."

He asked again: "Do you have any difficulties over there? Do you need the editorial department to say hello to your unit?"

"No difficulty, no difficulty." Yu Hua felt that his brain was malfunctioning at this time, and he would repeat the affirmative answer. He obviously had many questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't think of anything at this time.

On the phone, Lin Weimin explained to him the things he needs to pay attention to when he comes to Beijing to revise the manuscript, and finally said: "Okay, that's about it. You should prepare here and come here as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Lin."

Yu Hua hung up the phone in a daze before realizing that he didn't listen to much of what Lin Weimin said just now. He thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally remembered most of the content, and then returned home with peace of mind.

On Yanjing's side, Lin Weimin put down the phone, and Yu Hua's call was to Tan Chaoyang's office.

Qin Chaoyang had been listening to the conversation between the two just now, and he smiled and said, "Young man, are you overjoyed?"

Lin Weimin nodded, "It sounds a bit bewildered, I must be very happy."

Tan Chaoyang nodded and said: "It's the first time for a young man, it's normal. You can make arrangements for him when he comes to Yanjing. You are his editor. Back then you swore that this kid was talented, so you had to teach him well. .”

Lin Weimin said: "Editor-in-chief, don't worry, this is an author I'm optimistic about, and he must be responsible to the end."
