Author: Sitting and looking at Jingting

In early March, news of commodity price adjustments in Shanghai spread across the country, kicking off the price breakthroughs and panic buying in 1988. People who were in the wave of the times were all affected by such changes.

As a result, the number of submissions to the editorial department of "Contemporary" has also increased. After all, the fees are high, and the same work is published. If it is published in "Contemporary", it can make more money. Who wouldn't do it?

Writers have to eat too!

A few days after the third issue of "Contemporary" was released in March, the Chinese Literature Society contacted the editorial department of "Contemporary" and wanted to publish the third volume of "The Ordinary World".

This novel has just been published in its second issue, and it will be published as a single volume in just over a month, mainly because "The Ordinary World" was so effective on the radio.

Since September last year, the first and second parts of "The Ordinary World" have been successively broadcast on the Central People's Broadcasting Station's "Long Series" program, and have received strong responses from readers.

At the end of the year, Lu Yao finished revising the third part while he was ill. The radio station had no time to wait for the novel to be published, so he took the proof and recorded the program. When the third part was published in "Contemporary", half of the program on the radio had already been broadcast.

Last month, the third broadcast of "The Ordinary World" ended, and radio stations across the country started a new round of broadcasts, giving a saturated broadcast to many radio listeners.

There are very few people who listen to the radio who have not heard of the novel "The Ordinary World".

As the program became more and more popular, the call for the publication of the novel became louder and louder. The Chinese Literature Society decided to comply with public opinion and publish the third single volume as quickly as possible.

Lin Weimin called Lu Yao and learned about the readers' voices. Lu Yao was extremely happy.

"The Ordinary World" contains his many years of hard work, and he continued to create it even during his illness. Now that the work is becoming more and more popular, he is naturally very happy.

The third volume of "The Ordinary World" was published, with an initial printing of 200,000 copies. Lu Yao received a royalties of 13,000 yuan, which included basic royalties and royalties for the number of printings.

If the novel is reprinted and republished in the future, he will receive a lot of royalties for the number of prints.

Lu Yao thanked Lin Weimin on the phone, "Prices have risen dramatically this year. Your manuscript fee has solved my urgent need!"

"As long as you don't spend lavishly, this money will be enough for your family to live for several years." Lin Weimin warned.

What he fears most is that Lu Yao recovers and his old ways emerge.

After calling Lu Yao, Lin Weimin received another call from Yu Hua.

In January, Yu Hua had graduated from the writers class of the National College of Liberal Arts, returned to Zhijiang, and was transferred to the JX Federation of Literary and Art Circles as the editor of the association's publication "Misty Rain Tower".

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin, I have finished writing the novel!"

Yu Hua's tone on the phone was very excited, like a primary school student waiting for praise from the teacher after completing his homework.

"Did you finish writing? Well, it's okay. I thought I had to wait until Mo Yan graduated too!"

The faint ridicule instantly extinguished Yu Hua's good mood. Do you always know how to chat?

"Has the novel been mailed out?"

"It's been mailed, it's been mailed!" Yu Hua said quickly.

"Okay, I got it, let's wait for the news!"

After Lin Weimin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which made Yu Hua very hurt.

After finishing the novel, there was not even a word of praise.

Lin Weimin asked Tong Zhonggui: "Did you see that in three years, you have written a novel? It has been more than a year since the movies adapted from other people's novels won awards. Can you give a person like this a good attitude? You must encourage them!"

"

Tong Zhonggui nodded and took note of Teacher Lin's lesson.

"Look back and think about it, bring it to me when his novel arrives." Lin Weimin warned again.

"good."

A few days later, Lin Weimin got off work in the evening and ran to the Shichahai courtyard. At the beginning of the new year, Tao Huimin went to another location to shoot a scene, leaving him alone.

"Tie Sheng! Iron Sheng!"

Lin Weimin pushed open the courtyard door and called Shi Tiesheng's name. When he entered the courtyard, he first saw Cheng Ximi holding a spatula.

"It's in the study room!" Cheng Ximi said as he poked his head from the kitchen.

Lin Weimin entered the study, and Shi Tiesheng just rolled his wheelchair to the door. There was a threshold at the door, and he couldn't get out.

"I've told you so many times, just dismantle this thing!" Lin Weimin complained.

"It won't hurt if you keep it, it will ward off rats." Shi Tiesheng replied.

Shi Tiesheng lived in Lin Weimin's house, which was good everywhere, except that there were many rooms and many thresholds. For this purpose, Shi's father specially prepared several triangular wooden boxes made of wooden boards, and there was one at the door of each house.

But sometimes it is still inconvenient. The height of the threshold is too high. Even if it becomes a slope, a wheelchair cannot be rolled over, and someone has to push it.

Lin Weimin asked Shi Tiesheng several times to remove the threshold, but Shi Tiesheng didn't do it. He wanted to do it himself, but Shi Tiesheng still stopped him.

The house belongs to Lin Weimin, and Shi Tiesheng is renting it. Of course, he doesn't want to destroy it. Lin Weimin plans to tear down the threshold one day when he is not at home.

The two had just been chatting for a while when Cheng Ximi called for dinner. Lin Weimin pushed Shi Tiesheng to the kitchen to eat. Shi Lan, who had been missing all this time, suddenly appeared.

"I can't see you when I'm cooking, but you're quite active when I'm eating."

Lin Weimin made a sarcastic remark to her, which drew a pair of eyes.

Everyone was eating. Shi Lan finished his meal first and pushed his bicycle out.

"What is this girl doing?"

Shi Tiesheng said: "Go watch a movie!"

"Are you dating?"

"Um."

Lin Weimin sighed: "It went by so fast. This girl is already in love with someone."

"When will you get married? I went to my mother-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year and didn't I rush you?" Shi Tiesheng asked.

"We have agreed that Huimin will finish filming the movie at the end of this year or early next year, depending on the situation."

Shi Tiesheng smiled and said, "You two have been in love for a long enough time."

Lin Weimin asked back: "Comrade Ximi definitely disagrees with this."

Cheng Simi laughed when he heard this.

She and Shi Tiesheng corresponded for almost ten years, and finally got married last year.

After dinner, Lin Weimin, Shi Tiesheng, his wife and Shi's father were watching TV in the living room.

CCTV's "Desire" has come to an end and is about to have its finale.

The fifty-episode length of "Desire" is very rare in China today. The last TV series of this length broadcast by CCTV was "The Biography of a Female Doctor".

Once the TV series was aired, it was warmly welcomed by the vast number of TV viewers. The whole country mourned Liu Huifang, the whole country cursed Wang Husheng, and everyone lamented Song Dacheng. Under the guidance of Lin Weimin, the ending was different from the original version, and the praise was even greater.

Several leading actors in the TV series have become famous because of this. Zhang Kaili, who plays Liu Huifang, has become the standard for all Chinese men to choose wives and mothers-in-law to choose daughters-in-law in just one month, perfectly interpreting the image of a good wife and loving mother.

Father Shi watched the TV series and sighed that Zhang Kaili's performance was good, and she must be a good wife and mother in life.

Lin Weimin joked: "Uncle, this is your role filter. I've seen this actor before, and he's just a talker."

Cheng Simi was amused by his words, "For the people, your words are too damaging."

The TV series ended and Lin Weimin said goodbye and left.

Two days later, there was a meeting in the club, and Lin Weimin was inexplicably given the title of deputy editor-in-chief.

When Cheng Wuchun came to talk to him, Lin Weimin was confused.

When he was promoted to editorial director, Cheng Wuchun specifically talked to him.

When Lao Meng was the director of the editorial department of "Contemporary", he was known as the deputy editor-in-chief. When Lao Qin was the director, he was also known as the deputy editor-in-chief.

The status of "Contemporary" in the Chinese Literature Society is already high, and the two of them are senior, so they have the title of deputy editor-in-chief.

When we got to Lin Weimin, considering that his qualifications were still relatively low and the director had been promoted, the deputy editor's name was no longer mentioned. Lin Weimin understood very well during the conversation.

This time, Lin Weimin suddenly told him that he should be the deputy editor-in-chief. Lin Weimin did not understand how this good thing came about.

Cheng Wanchun reminded: "I will quit next week."

Lin Weimin suddenly realized that this time, the border office compensated him before he left. The position of deputy editor-in-chief returned to Lin Weimin, and he was considered to have received the treatment he deserved.

"The leader is very particular about how he handles this matter!"

Lin Weimin sighed, but did not notice Cheng Wuchun's disdainful eyes.

If you get a promotion, it means that you are a leader. If you don't get a promotion, you may be scolding in your heart!

Cheng Wanchun thought that he knew Sun Monkey too well.

"No, I have to treat the leader to a meal!" Lin Weimin said.

"The leader sent you this meal? You are trying to win over corrupt leading cadres!" Cheng Wuchun said sarcastically.

Lin Weimin was dissatisfied, "Who corrupts cadres with a meal? You don't treat leaders as cadres. It's really a waste of time!"

Lin Weimin was very familiar with the operation of murdering people and killing hearts, and he aroused Cheng Wuchun's anger with just one sentence.

After exchanging a few insults, Lin Weimin left Cheng Wuchun's office.

A few days later, the appointment announcement appeared on the bulletin board in the Chinese Literature Society, and colleagues gathered around the bulletin board to discuss it.
