Chapter 121 [Surprise Harvest] (Please subscribe)

Shanghai Stock Exchange, "Harvest" magazine.

"Harvest" is a large-scale literary magazine founded in July 1957 by Balo and Jin Yi. It is the first large-scale literary bimonthly in China after 7. After the publication was founded, most of the specific work was done by Jin Yi. Balao composed the manuscript, and of course Balao himself was also a writer. Later, the magazine ceased publication for a time, and that was during three difficult years, the early 1949s. The whole situation was very difficult. Later, the magazine resumed publication. After a few years, it reached a special period and ceased publication again.

By 1979, Harvest resumed publication.

It can be said that the entire magazine "Harvest" has experienced ups and downs along with historical development, and it has a very important position in domestic literature.

Almost all influential writers in the history of contemporary literature are related to "Harvest". Among the old writers, such as Feng Jicai and Wang Meng, their important works were published in Harvest. Before the special period, Lao She's "Teahouse", Liu Qing's "History of Entrepreneurship", and Jin Jingmai's "Song of Ouyang Hai" were also published in Harvest. They were also works that influenced several generations.

It has to be said that "Harvest" is the absolute top literary magazine in the hearts of literary authors, and no one wants to publish an article in "Harvest". Just like the future dentist writer would not have published almost all his important works in Harvest.

Now Balao is still the editor-in-chief of "Harvest", and he is still working hard to discover new talents in the literary world and discover excellent literary works.

"Lu Yao requested a manuscript, are there any new manuscripts?"

Ba Laowang looked at Zhou Cheng, the editor in charge of Lu Yao, and asked.

Lu Yao's previous "Life" article was published in "Harvest". Naturally, there were editors at the magazine who kept in correspondence with Lu Yao and asked Lu Yao for manuscripts.

Zhou Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, Lu Yao is currently writing a novel and is still working on it, but I don't know if he will vote for "Harvest". After all, "Yanhe" is Those who are closer to the water get the first prize, and there are other magazines asking him for manuscripts."

"You can't say that, I still want to contact you to make an appointment."

Hearing Balao's words, Zhou Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will write him a letter of invitation later."

Other editors have also begun to exchange some recent novels and authors.

Although "Harvest" has always received a large number of manuscripts, the quality varies. Naturally, top literary magazines like "Harvest" have very high requirements for publishing works, especially when there is someone like Ba Lao. There are big figures in the literary world who are in charge, so it will naturally be good.

"Huh--!"

While other editors were still talking about the manuscript, editor Xu Yi, who was opening the author's submission letter on the other side, let out a very unexpected surprise.

"What's wrong? Xiao Xu?"

Ba Lao heard the sound and turned his head to look at Xu Yi. He didn't know what Xu Yi saw, and he was so surprised.

Xu Yi was very shocked. He stared at the manuscript in front of him, picked up the manuscript with some uncertainty, looked at Balao, and said, "Lin Youcheng's manuscript?"

"Lin Youcheng's manuscript?"

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, then as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Lin Youcheng from Decheng?"

Xu Yi nodded.

Seeing Xu Yi nod, Zhou Cheng was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly ran over to look at the manuscript in Xu Yi's hand, and asked, "Is it really Lin Youcheng who submitted the manuscript?"

Obviously, Zhou Cheng knew very well that Lin Youcheng, who wrote "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" and won two National Outstanding Novella Awards, was from Decheng.

At this time, the editors in the editorial department of "Harvest" naturally heard these words, and gradually realized that it was Lin Youcheng, the man from Decheng who wrote "Wonderful Things in the World" who submitted the article. "Ah? Is it really the manuscript sent by Lin Youcheng?"

The other editors were also very surprised. After all, no one expected to suddenly receive a manuscript from Lin Youcheng.

It was really unexpected that Lin Youcheng was able to contribute and send a manuscript to Harvest magazine.

After all, who in the literary world today doesn't know Lin Youcheng, a hot new literary star, who is really a very hot writer.

"Harvest" magazine has always asked Lin Youcheng for manuscripts. For example, when Balao was in the Great Hall of Beijing, he directly asked Lin Youcheng for manuscripts. It can be imagined that Lin Youcheng is a serious writer. All the editors of "Harvest" magazine are looking forward to the submission.

However, there has been no reply to the letter requesting manuscripts sent out before. Now I have received a reply, and it seems to be Lin Youcheng's new manuscript. This should surprise the editors of "Harvest" magazine.

After all, this is Lin Youcheng’s manuscript!

"Is it true or false? Lin Youcheng's manuscript?"

"Is it really Lin Youcheng's manuscript?"

"Lin Youcheng has written a new novel?"

"Okay! Lin Youcheng submitted an article to our "Harvest". I thought that Lin Youcheng had been caught by "People's Literature" and had no chance. I didn't expect that he still submitted an article to our magazine. I really didn't expect it. It’s so unexpected, such a surprise.”

……

Obviously, Lin Youcheng's letter really surprised all the editors in the "Harvest" editorial department.

Balao was also very surprised. He personally admired Lin Youcheng, a new writer. The "Devotion of Suspect X" was controversial at first. Many people thought that he should not win the National Outstanding Novella Award, but he insisted , this is also because he really appreciates Lin Youcheng's innovation in literature.

He had also read the previous article "Fantastic Events in the World", and was equally amazed by the work that combined fantasy and realistic themes. The whole story was full of fantasy, but also extremely real. From the beginning in 1920 to the end of the story, Lin Lin It is a truly outstanding work that combines the life of a strange person with the historical development of an entire country.

Zhou Cheng eagerly opened the thick letter, wanting to quickly open it and read it.

At this moment, the eyes of other editors also followed, and they all looked at the manuscript in Zhou Cheng's hand.

"Lin Youcheng's handwriting is good."

Ba Lao walked over and looked at the manuscript. It was a thick piece of grid paper. Judging from the thickness, it looked like a novella. Before even looking at the content, Ba Lao felt that Lin Youcheng's handwriting was quite neat.

Then, he looked at the name of the manuscript at the top, which clearly read - "The Sound of the Wind".

Rumor?

What kind of news?

Looking at the title of this novel, Balao was suddenly very curious and looking forward to it. Lin Youcheng, who could write such works as "The Devotion of Suspect What new story will it be, and what kind of surprise will it be.
