275, membership proposal
"By the way, Gu Cheng, it seems you haven't joined the Writers' Association yet."
After chatting for a while, Yan Songbai motioned to a junior next to him to pour tea for everyone, and then suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked Gu Cheng.
"Yes, I had the opportunity to join the Provincial Writers' Association before I joined, but I was later rejected. In addition, my qualifications are still relatively young, so I don't seem to be able to meet the standards for joining the Writers' Association."
Gu Cheng answered the other party's questions carefully.
"Why? Is there any specific reason? Do you have any views or unique insights on our institution?"
Yan Songbai couldn't help but look at Gu Cheng in surprise and asked. You must know that every newcomer who has just debuted will immediately find the local writers association to get closer to each other after publishing his first work. Organize
Writers in the Writers Association are completely different from unorganized writers. They can also get many inconspicuous resources in the Writers Association, such as help in contacting many publishing houses with good remuneration.
Of course, the benefits are not only these, but also help with contacts, sales of your own film and television adaptation copyrights, and IP operations. You can also participate in various local cultural attractions and unique historical landscapes for free, and you can also attend many symposiums for free.
There are also people specifically responsible for thematic manuscript invitations organized by various newspapers and periodicals. They collect this kind of information, and every time a certain time comes, the statistics are compiled and released to the mailbox of every writer in the entire association.
You know, not every writer is as lucky as Gu Cheng. You don’t have to worry about running out of inspiration or that your works are not good enough. There are many writers who are short-lived. Some books sell well, but they can’t.
Let the other party eat for a lifetime, and more people still have to participate in those high-paying commissions to maintain their own lives and basic expenses.
"How could it be? Mr. Yan, you are serious. I am just a latecomer. I was worried that my knowledge would be shallow and tarnish the threshold of the Writers Association, a literary holy place, so I didn't agree to join. But I don't have any ideas or opinions to advise."
Hearing Yan Songbai's words, Gu Cheng quickly defended himself. Although that was what he thought, he felt that the threshold of the Provincial Writers' Association was too low for him to join. He was also worried that there would be some power struggles in it. It would be better to do less than to do more.
In addition to the benefits and channels provided by the other party, he did not need them, so he rejected the other party's invitation.
But he definitely can't say that. He doesn't want to isolate himself from the entire literary circle. After all, he will be in this circle for many years in the future. If he doesn't want to be friends, he can't let the other person develop into an enemy.
If Yan Songbai's words were spread today, then he would have a big hat on his head. I believe there would be many writers attached to the literary association, rushing to attack him, hoping to climb up by stepping on his head.
After hearing his explanation, Yan Songbai also felt that his question was a bit rude, but everyone present today was his good friend, and there was no one with the kind of talkative personality. Moreover, he also felt that he could defend Gu Cheng
, if these words are really spread, then it is his responsibility to be responsible for clearing the slander on the other party.
"That's right, you young people don't seem to care much about this kind of formality now. Wherever we were, if we had just published a tofu-like article in the newspaper, we would use it as our qualifications and write an application to join
If your application form for the Writers Association is really approved and you hold your Writers Association membership card, it will be a great honor, and the entire county will publicize your identity."
Yan Songbai narrowed his eyes and looked out through the window, as if he recalled how he had just entered the literary world, so naive and sincere. At the same time, several old friends next to him also responded to his words with smiles, as if they had come out of the same era.
Literati, this kind of thing happens to everyone. It is precisely because these old predecessors vigorously developed the status of Chinese literature that writers are now recognized by society.
"Well, I wonder if you have any idea of joining our national writers association? I can be your recommendation for membership."
Yan Songbai looked back at the process and continued to ask. You must know that the Writers Association of a country is already a national organization, and the people who can join it are all the top literati in the country.
It can be said that even if you go internationally, you can be recognized by many countries. This is also a very important qualification. It is an important criterion for evaluating identity in the process of award evaluation and participation in various symposiums.
Moreover, the membership standards and thresholds for associations at this level have also been greatly improved. Only a fixed number of places will be allowed to join each year. The number of people in this association is streamlined, but each one is famous and has brilliant achievements and history.
Even Yan Songbai was not confident that he would definitely recommend him to the association. Although he occupied the title of vice president, when it came to such matters, all members needed to vote by a show of hands.
"Of course, I am very happy to have this honor."
When it comes to this kind of question, Gu Cheng will of course respond immediately. Although he doesn't think much of provincial and municipal writers associations, the national writers association is already the top literary group in the country.
It can be said that as long as you have a membership card of the National Writers Association, no matter where you go in this country, you will be a guest of the local government.
At this time, he would not refuse in any pretense, but accepted in the eyes of Yu Qi and Zhang Li, who looked different and excited.
"And me, I will also sign on your recommendation form, and I will be counted as a share of your boy's appetite for me."
Wang Laoxie on the other side also expressed his attitude. As the most famous Chinese poet, his status in the association is also very important. Almost all poets will automatically move closer to each other, so
There is also a large number of supporters in the association.
I believe that with these two prominent people as his recommenders, the membership application will be approved soon, and from now on Gu Cheng can be considered an organized person.
No longer have to worry about being attacked by some inexplicable person in the newspaper because of jealousy. If this happens again without him having to do it himself, the entire National Writers Association has his strong backing and will not hesitate to wave.
The tip of the pen in his hand speaks out for him.
After thanking the two of them again for their kindness, Gu Cheng took the application form from the other party with the envious eyes of all the young juniors, and immediately filled in his own information, and then Yan Songbai and Wang Laoxie signed and wrote.
Chapter completed!
