The conversation between the two aroused the curiosity of other people in the editorial department, and they turned their attention to the two.
After holding the manuscript and feeling happy for a long time, Zhang Dening remembered to introduce Lin Chaoyang to his colleagues in the editorial department.
Last time Chen Jiangong brought Lin Chaoyang to catch up with the weekend, only Zhou Yanru brought Zhang Dening and another female editor Wang Jie. This time Lin Chaoyang met Chen Shichong, Liu Heng, Fu Yonglin and other editors.
When Zhang Dening introduced Liu Heng, Lin Chaoyang took a second look. If he did not admit his mistake, this Liu Heng should be the royal screenwriter of Lao Mouzi in later generations, and he is also a very famous writer in his own right.
"Ju Dou", "The Happy Life of Zhang Damin", "The Overlord of Western Chu", "Assembly Number", and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" are all written by him. He is also an outstanding writer.
Including "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" written by Lin Chaoyang before wearing a vest, the original work is a novel written by Chen Yuanbin in the 1990s, and the script was written by Liu Heng.
Not only was Lin Chaoyang observing the editors, they were also observing Lin Chaoyang.
Although "The Wrangler" is a short story, it has had a huge impact on the domestic literary circles and readers in the past six months.
The pen name "Xu Lingjun" has also become a trend-setting figure in the literary world. Throughout last year, together with the two names "Liu Xinwu" and "Lu Xinhua", it has become a representative figure of the newly emerging scar literature.
I don’t know if it was because of the strong influence of "Wrangler" that after the publication of "Wrangler", "Yanjing Literature and Art" successively published Wang Meng's "Greetings from the Feet" and "Nanjing Salted Duck".
In the past March, Fang Zhi's "The Traitor" was published again. These novels have achieved great response among readers.
Especially Fang Zhi's "The Traitor", the creative style completely broke through the "three outstanding" creative principles of the buzz buzz period, and it quickly aroused heated discussions after its publication.
In just half a year, the sales volume of "Yenjing Literature and Art" has been rising steadily, and the influence of its works has been increasing day by day, which has directly enhanced the status of "Yenjing Literature and Art" in the national literary journal industry.
This of course has something to do with the courage of the newly appointed director, Li Qingquan, but people occasionally become superstitious and attribute the fact that "Yanjing Literature and Art" is now on the fast track to "Xu Lingjun" and "Wrangler" opening up the publication.
A good start.
However, although Xu Lingjun is famous, he seems to be very low-key.
I heard Zhang Dening say that he didn't want others to know that he was a writer, and even the editorial department rejected the idea of ​​holding a symposium on his works for "Wrangler", which shows that he is a low-key person.
Everyone in the editorial department felt slightly disappointed when they saw Lin Chaoyang today.
The pseudonym Xu Lingjun is associated with the protagonist of the novel, which inevitably makes everyone imagine that he is an ordinary person. Of course, the "ordinary" refers to his appearance.
Listening to the conversation between Lin Chaoyang and Zhang Dening, you can still tell that there is ink in their stomachs.
After chatting with Zhang Dening for a while, Lin Chaoyang was about to leave, but Zhang Dening wanted to drag him to meet Li Qingquan, the person in charge of the magazine.
When we met, Li Qingquan was very thin, in his fifties, with white beard and hair. This situation is very common among modern educated people, most of whom had suffered a lot of crimes in the past few years.
He chatted with Lin Chaoyang for a while and took the initiative to mention that the editorial department recently planned to make a review collection for "Wrangler" and include all the more influential review articles published in the public media in the past six months.
Lin Chaoyang looked surprised, "Isn't this... necessary?"
Logically speaking, the editorial department should not be responsible for the collection of comments, and it has nothing to do with Lin Chaoyang.
But "Yanjing Literature and Art" now seems to be trying to promote Lin Chaoyang. Their purpose of doing so is not difficult to understand. The rise of any literary journal is bound to be accompanied by the rise of one or more well-known writers. The two complement each other.
Achieve each other.
The reason why Lin Chaoyang resisted this matter was because it was not profitable for him, and he might be distracted by this matter.
With the current reputation of "Wrangler", a collection of reviews is just the icing on the cake for him and is really unnecessary.
After all, "Blow the Sky" is just a short story.
"We are just taking the lead. Whether we can really do it depends on the decision of the author and publisher. I am just telling you now."
Li Qingquan has said so, and Lin Chaoyang can't say anything else. Although it is a collection of reviews about "Wrangler", in the end this matter has no direct relationship with Lin Chaoyang. The editorial department and publishing house are willing to do it, and it has nothing to do with him.
.
After Lin Chaoyang left, Zhang Dening turned over the manuscript he sent.
A standard 500-square-frame manuscript paper, a whole book, should have about 50,000 to 60,000 words.
"That pair of sneakers is so dirty. Even in this small mountain village famous for its poverty, the sewage mixed with rainwater and livestock excrement may be cleaner than it..."
Zhang Dening's mind was devoted to the content on the manuscript paper, and the words in front of him gradually constructed a picture.
She was immersed in the world of words, moved by the joys and sorrows of the characters, and shed tears by the ups and downs of the plot.
At this moment, Zhang Dening felt someone tapping her shoulder. She raised her head, her eyes red.
"Xiao Zhang, it's time to get off work. Leave Xu Lingjun's manuscript here for now. I'll go back and take a look." Li Qingquan said.
Li Qingquan is a courageous and responsible person in charge of publications, but he has a problem, that is, he often directly reviews manuscripts without waiting for his subordinates to do the first and second review.
He was the editorial director of "People's Literature" nearly twenty years ago. He has seniority and strong ability. In addition, he took "Yenjing Literature and Art" to a new height in less than half a year after taking over the editorial department. Therefore, everyone in the editorial department
They are quite convinced of him.
When Li Qingquan took the manuscript away, Zhang Dening couldn't help but think to herself that she had just seen something wonderful.
I don’t know if Coyotito won in the end? Can he get the new pair of sneakers?
After coming out of the editorial office of "Yanjing Literature and Art", Lin Chaoyang did not go back to Yanjing University directly. He finally made a trip to the city. He planned to bring something back to his family.
Lin Chaoyang originally wanted to buy a roast duck, but when he arrived at Quanjude, the price of "ten yuan a piece" on the menu put him off.
An ordinary worker in Yanjing City only earns thirty or forty yuan a month, and a duck is worth a quarter of a month's salary. According to the prices in Yanjing forty years later, this duck will cost two to three thousand yuan. Drinking milk will make you grow longer.
It's not that expensive either.
Lin Chaoyang does have money, but he is not such a spendthrift.
Before leaving the house, he took a vicious look at Quanjude's red-brick oven with constant charcoal fire. There was a couplet on the mouth of the oven: The golden oven keeps burning for thousands of years, and the silver hook always hangs hundreds of fresh delicacies. The horizontal inscription: The master of one oven.
Full of style!
Wait for me to be rich in the future!
After leaving Quanjude, he turned back to the nearby state-owned department store and bought a can of cream for Tao Yushu. He also went to Daoxiang Village to buy two kilograms of peach cakes before returning to Yanda.
Back at the library, Lin Chaoyang distributed more than half a catty to several colleagues at the lending desk.
There are not many peach cakes, and if you share them with four or five people, they will seem even less.
But now everyone is not well-off. Those with children at home may be willing to buy them for their children, but they may not buy some for themselves to try, which can be a little comfort in this boring afternoon.
"By the way, Chaoyang, two groups of students will come to see you at noon." Hu Wenqiong reminded.
"Who, did you leave a note?" Lin Chaoyang thought it was the people from the Chinese Department.
"No."
If an acquaintance came to him for something, he would definitely leave a note or ask Hu Wenqiong to help with the message. Lin Chaoyang was a little confused, who could come to him?
Chapter completed!
