Chapter 228 My heart is darkened

1983 is the Year of the Pig, and on New Year's Day this year, Lin Weimin is much busier than before.

I got up early to wish my brother-in-law a happy New Year, and hurried to the train station. Today my girlfriend and the Little Baihua Yue Opera Troupe were returning to Zhijiang, and he had to go see her off. After this farewell, he wouldn't see each other for at least a few months.

But when Lin Weimin arrived at the train station, he waited and waited but didn't see the large troops of the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe.

Seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, and if he waited any longer and delayed going to the teacher's house to pay New Year's greetings, Lin Weimin rode his bicycle all the way to the Temple of Heaven Hotel.

"Comrade, has the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe left?"

It had been a month or two since the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and the people at the front desk had known Lin Weimin for a long time. "No, they continued for another day."

What's going on?

Lin Weimin asked the front desk to make an internal call to Tao Huimin, and after a while she came down from upstairs.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were leaving?" Lin Weimin asked.

There was a bit of joy on Tao Huimin's face, "We had packed our things in the morning and were getting ready to go to the train station. The group leader received a call and told us to stay in Yanjing for a few days. He said that a leader had seen us.

I really enjoyed the show and asked us to stay in Yanjing and perform for a while before returning to Zhijiang. I couldn't contact you and wanted to find you at the train station. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

It turned out that this was the case. Lin Weimin was happy because he could at least meet Tao Huimin a few more times.

Meng Weizai became interested when he heard this new vocabulary, "Why are we looking for volunteers? We are not a charity?"

Since its resumption in 1978, "Literary News" was first a monthly publication, then a semi-monthly publication, and it was not until last year that it became a monthly publication.

"It's not bad. But the two young men who acted with him performed really well."

After leaving Mr. Wan's house, Lin Weimin went to Shi Tiesheng's house to pay New Year's greetings.

If you look at Lin Weimin's article published in "Literary News" from the perspective of later generations, it is absolutely correct no matter how you look at it.

"but……"

Scar literature has become very popular in recent years, and most of the protagonists have been persecuted, so naturally everyone can relate to it.

Lin Weimin has won several national awards, but he has never been interviewed by leaders at level 1 or 2. It seems that the Literary and Art Association is still not good enough!

"What nonsense are you talking about? The leader is just an interviewer, we are still ordinary actors..." She said in a shy tone, "Actually... you are much better than me!"

There are those who are conservative in thinking and sneer at his eloquent words; there are those who are moderate and peaceful, who look at the words in the publications and ponder for a long time; and there are also those who are just like the rising sun, who are overjoyed when they see Lin Weimin's words, as if they have found a guiding light.

While Lin Weimin was flipping through this issue of "Literary News", this fresh publication was also placed in front of countless readers across the country.

Mr. Wan was in good spirits today and took Lin Weimin to chat about last night's Spring Festival Gala.

Rong Shihui had also just finished reading the "Literary News" and said in a joking tone: "Weimin will be in the limelight now!"

"Looking for college students! There are many college students these days who are not literary youths. If they hear that our "Contemporary" is recruiting volunteers, they will probably have to bring their own dry food."

On the premise that Lu Yao's "Thrilling Scene" is of good quality, why could it not be published despite being submitted to several publications?

Why was Xu Jingya so criticized after the publication of "The Rising Poetry Group", the title of Mengyu Poetry, that he even published an article in the People's Daily to criticize himself a few years later.

"That's too hard." Lin Weimin held her hand and said, "Come to my house someday and I'll make you something delicious to replenish."

"These books were prepared when I visited France in 1980. You may be able to use them."

Literary creation should allow a hundred flowers to bloom.

The article "Our literary creation needs a hundred flowers to bloom" published in the second issue of "Literary News" in 1983 is destined to cause an uproar in the domestic literary world and among the majority of literature lovers.

"Then can you guys still have a holiday?"

"I did consider this treatment before, but in the end I decided to use the current ending mainly because of the feelings of many gay people who have experienced buzz.

Lin Weimin's piece "Our Literary Creation Needs a Hundred Flowers to Bloom" has a high-pitched tone. At first glance, I felt that this person can really talk big and sing high-key.

You also know that in just over a month since the first issue was launched, the number of submissions to our publication has tripled compared to before."

Time flies and the vacation is over.

Liu Yindao: "It's certain to be in the limelight, and it's certain to be scolded."

"This Spring Festival Gala is very interesting. The two sketches you wrote are also good. The structure is simple but the baggage is just right. The actors' performances are also good. The one who plays Huang Shiren is your nephew, right?"

Mr. Wan found it interesting after hearing this, "You have to control the details well, whether it's Shanghai or France, including a feminine perspective. These are things you have never experienced before, so you must pay attention."

Mr. Wan had been listening to his words carefully. It was not until he finished speaking that he nodded and said, "That's right. He was very thoughtful and cautious."

He said and walked into the study. After a while, he came out with a few books.

Tao Huimin took the time to call Lin Weimin, and her tone on the phone was extremely excited.

Tao Huimin said shyly: "I won't go."

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "Teacher, you are really discerning. Those two are from the People's Art Actor Training Class. People's Art is very optimistic about them. Maybe they will become the mainstay of People's Art in the next few years."

Every time we meet, this topic cannot be avoided, and Lin Weimin is used to it.

After the turmoil of the past few years, domestic public opinion and creative trends seem to be moving towards openness and tolerance, but in fact the garbage of history cannot be swept away so easily.

After leaving the Temple of Heaven Hotel, Lin Weimin went straight to Muxidi.

Teacher Lin is now a great writer, but at the same time he has an official status.

Lin Weimin came out of Qin Chaoyang's office, returned to the editorial office, and continued to read the newly launched "Literary News".

When Lin Weimin finished speaking, he showed a free and easy smile.

Lin Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, finally not being criticized.

It was actually in Huairen Hall. Lin Weimin couldn't even think of trying to cheer up his little girlfriend.

Tao Huimin shook her head, "I don't know. The group leader is currently communicating the situation. If the schedule is really set, should we take advantage of the Spring Festival holidays to perform, right?"

"They are euphemistically called 'volunteers', but they are actually temporary workers. There are too many chores in the office. Everyone is so busy at work, and it takes a lot of time just to deal with these chores every day.

Just picking out the letters sent by readers to the author of this issue occupied a large part of the editorial department's energy. Lin Weimin scratched his head anxiously in the face of tens of thousands of letters.

Mr. Wan patted his thigh at this time and said, "By the way, wait a moment."

Lin Weimin liked hearing this and asked his girlfriend to talk more, but she hung up the phone.

"Yes, I have just entered the entertainment industry not long ago, and my acting skills are relatively average."

Lin Weimin felt that Lao Meng's words were a bit inappropriate. These days, restaurants are all state-owned, so you can't just go in if you want.

On the morning when she called, the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe had just been received by the leadership at an important state place. For literary and artistic workers of this era, this was already the highest courtesy, so Xiaobaihua couldn't help but be excited.

After flipping through this issue of "Literary News", Lin Weimin focused his attention on letters from readers.

The two talked for a while, and then Jiang Yao came down to Tao Huimin and said that the group leader had summoned them to a meeting, so they probably had some clues about the performance.

"Leader, I'm just describing their mood. How can we not give them money? Isn't that more ruthless than Huang Shiren?"

"What I mean is to get some volunteers."

Tao Huimin hesitated and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time."

When I became an official, my heart became dark!

Meng Weizai couldn't imagine where Lin Weimin's crazy ideas came from. At first he thought they were extremely unorthodox, but after thinking about them carefully, it seemed that he could actually carry them out.

"The Horse Trapper" was published in the January supplement of "People's Literature" this year. More than a month has passed since then. Mr. Wan is busy with work and has just finished reading it.

"Then you go up first, I will come back to you tomorrow."

Why are the avant-garde works created by young authors headed by Yu Hua and others given to some editors such comments as "not a novel"? Such comments are even worse than "shit"

It's even more excessive, because it fundamentally denies your creation.

"Yes, these issues require a lot of time and energy, just like when I wrote "Horse Trapper" before."

The "Literary Newspaper" in Lin Weimin's hands has just been launched. The article Lin Weimin wrote in response to the invitation of "Literary Newspaper" two years ago is being published in the "Seminar" column of this issue - "Our Literary Creation"

We need a hundred flowers to bloom".

He looked directly at Lin Weimin, "If it is simply to worry about some people's feelings, there is no need to modify this ending."

His tone was less firm than before, and Lin Weimin said: "I just went to recognize the door and have a meal."

"You just mentioned deputy editor-in-chief. You should be very busy. Have you written anything recently?" Mr. Wan asked again.

Meng Weizai spat out a mouthful of tea foam and said, "You just hire people when you say you want to. Do you think our editorial department is a street restaurant?"

Then he went to the People's Hall for a special performance. He went to places that Lin Weimin couldn't enter. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to have a few private meetings, but he didn't give him a chance.

In the article, he also took out the first issue of "Contemporary" this year to give his own explanation. Although it may be suspected of boasting, the achievements and repercussions of the first issue are placed there, and others cannot refute it even if they want to.

After talking about the Spring Festival Gala, Mr. Wan talked about the novel "The Horse Trapper" again.

After finishing my work, the whole morning has passed.

Then his expression relaxed again, "But your two endings are half-assed, which shows that you put your heart into it."

Meng Weizai waved his hand and said: "That's not okay. It's not enough to ask people to work for nothing, but also let people prepare their own dry food?"

In the article, Lin Weimin first elaborated on the historical reasons for the formation of the current domestic literary creation environment and the current trends, and then talked about "Contemporary" as a domestic first-line literary magazine, its views on these phenomena and trends and its corresponding actions, and finally gave a high-level view.

He advocated that major literary newspapers and periodicals should open their arms and embrace all rivers.
