Chapter 25 Secondment Writing

While Rong Shihui and Lin Weimin were talking, there was a knock on the door of his office. Just as Rong Shihui was about to get up, he saw an old comrade peeking in.

"Director Qin!" Long Shihui stood up and quickly introduced Lin Weimin, "This is Director Qin Chaoyang of our editorial department."

"Director Qin, this is Lin Weimin, the author of "The Death of Yura"."

Tan Chaoyang is over sixty years old, with gray hair and a ridged face, but he speaks with great energy, "Comrade Xiao Lin is really young and promising!"

Lin Weimin stood up and shook hands respectfully, "Thank you, Director Tan, just call me Weimin."

What's his name, Xiao Lin? It's not his style to look shorter than him.

Tan Chaoyang laughed and said, "Okay, let's call it for the people."

Rong Shihui explained on the side: "I called Comrade Weimin here today because I planned to talk to him about his novel..."

Qin Chaoyang said: "I have read the novel and it is very well written. Do you have any questions?"

Tan Chaoyang’s words are a true insight. Scar literature is a product of a special era. After Hum Hum was crushed, it took advantage of the momentum and reached its peak in a few years. In turn, it was slapped on the beach by the tide of reform literature. The most fundamental

The reason is that the entire society's attention has turned to economic construction and material life.

"Teacher Rong, it's so late, you haven't eaten yet? Let's go out to eat together."

This approach did indeed cultivate a number of talents for the literary world at that time.

Qin Chaoyang is now the deputy director and editor-in-chief of the editorial department. He cannot be said to have a single say in the selection of manuscripts, but at least he plays a decisive role.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Qin Chaoyang stood up and said, "Okay, you can continue chatting. I'll leave first."

"He is really busy. Let's wait for the next opportunity."

When the two were about to leave the gate, they saw several people carrying a drunk man into the yard. Tang Yuqiu said: "It's another guy who wants to pack up his luggage and get out."

"No, no, no, I still have a few manuscripts in my hand that I haven't finished reading. You go ahead."

Domestic writers suffered a lot in the past few years, which resulted in the domestic literary scene becoming empty in the years after reform and opening up. This is why many later writers became famous during this stage.

Several people stood up to see each other off. After Tan Chaoyang left, Lin Weimin took a look at the time. It was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Rong Shihui smiled and said: "Yes, I will have a chance next time."

"These are writers seconded from various places and come here to revise their manuscripts."

Now he is half of the editorial board of "Contemporary", and he still maintains this habit and supports new people and new works as always.

After bidding farewell to Rong Shihui, Lin Weimin and Tang Yuqiu came out of the back building. It was already past dinner time. There was an open space between the front building and the back building. A basketball court was built here, and six or seven men were playing basketball.

.

Qin Chaoyang pondered for a moment, "The style is very unique and different from the current trend in the literary world. But this is also the advantage of this manuscript. In the past two years, scar literature has become very popular, and readers sometimes get tired of it. Comrade Weimin is so young.

, the quality of the work is also very outstanding, I think this manuscript can be used!"

Lin Weimin nodded, thinking that there should be some well-known figures among these people, but unfortunately he didn't know any of them.

For literature, this is really the best era. Five hundred years ago, or another five hundred years after that, I am afraid there will be no such good times.

Second these potential seedlings to the publishing house, where the editorial department will write, revise, and provide food and accommodation. With the help of the editor, the works will be revised until they can meet publication or publication requirements and quality.

"Um……"

At that time, there was a lack of new works in the literary world, and it was difficult to support the literary reading requirements of the Chinese people. Many publishing houses and editorial departments could only find promising seedlings from the submissions of some amateur authors.

While eating, Tang Yuqiu was still chatting with him about what he had learned at the National Literature Publishing House. Lin Weimin felt quite emotional after hearing this.

Lin Weimin, a newcomer in his early twenties, was what he valued most. During the chat, he learned that Lin Weimin had written an article and wanted to leave it to "Zhongshan", which made him quite regretful.

"The quality of the manuscript is fine, but the style is a bit too dark, which is inconsistent with the overall style of our magazine."

Lin Weimin sincerely invited him twice more, but Long Shihui kept declining, so Tang Yuqiu grabbed Lin Weimin.

People have been running around for his manuscript without even eating. He cannot be allowed to go back hungry.

Lin Weimin nodded, "I will do it in the future."

"If you have any new manuscripts you write in the future, you can show them to us first. I can't guarantee them when they are published, but it would be good to give your comments to improve the quality of the work."

Qin Chaoyang is an editor who attaches great importance to discovering and supporting new literary talents. While working in "People's Literature" in the 1950s, he discovered such writers as Jun Qing, Qu Bo, Malaqinfu, Wang Meng, Liu Binyan, and Xiao Ping.

famous literary figures.

On the other side, Lin Weimin was very happy when he heard that Qin Chaoyang personally confirmed that he would use his manuscript. This trip was finally not in vain.

The publication of a novel must go through three reviews and three proofreadings. The final decision on publication requires a meeting of the editorial department, and the editor-in-chief makes the final decision. After "The Death of Yura" was handed over to Qin Chaoyang, he had not had time to discuss it at the meeting.

Seeing that he expressed his support for the publication of this manuscript, Rong Shihui's worries disappeared, "This is the best, the best."

For example, Ma Jicai wrote a book "Boxing of Boxing" and was noticed by the National Literature Publishing House. He was then seconded to the publisher and stayed here for two years. Not only did he revise the manuscript of "Boxing of Boxing", he also wrote another book during this period.

The companion piece "Magic Lamp".

The National Literature Publishing House is doing something like this now, and has a lot of seconded people. Many seconded talents live in the two buildings in the courtyard, and they stay there for several months or a year.

On the way back, Lin Weimin took Tang Yuqiu to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.

But these good talents had no writing experience at all, or very little, so some people came up with the idea of ​​"writing on secondment."

There are some authors who really can't understand their manuscripts, and their works are eventually rejected. They can only drink a lot of wine to drown their sorrows, and finally pack up and get out.

Tang Yuqiu saw Lin Weimin's eyes lingering on the men playing basketball and explained to him.

Many people who have experienced such an era will always sigh or get angry from time to time after a few years. It has only been so many years, how can literature become something that people hate?

Only when Lin Weimin was living in this era did he finally understand that the times have always created heroes, not heroes.

The names and works recorded on the inscriptions of the times certainly have their own reasons for their talents, but the bigger reason is that this era gave them the opportunity to shine.

I’m ready to recommend it, and I’ll update it three times in the past few days.
Chapter completed!
