Chapter 82 Let the bullets fly for a while
Since Shen Yanbing's comments came out, the public opinion situation about "The Fission of Qin" has undergone a fundamental reversal.
It is no longer one-sided questioning, criticism, and denial.
Readers across the country are paying close attention to Lu Guomao and Ba Laocao. It is already rare for a literary giant to take the initiative to comment, let alone give such positive support.
But I never imagined that this was just the beginning.
Shen Yanbing's comments were like a charge. Wang Meng, Su Yu and other editors and deputy editors of mainstream journals such as "Yanjing Literature" and "October" came out to support it, and the momentum became stronger and stronger.
"Impossible, how is it possible."
He Xin's eyes widened, staring at the "Literary News" these days, still unable to believe that everything above was true.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Fang Yan carrying a basket of letters and returning to the office leisurely as if nothing had happened.
"Yanzi, congratulations. I never expected that Mr. Mao personally reviewed your novel and gave such a high evaluation."
"That old man has won the prize."
Fang Yan shook his head and laughed: "How can "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" compare with "History" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"."
"That old man ?”
He Xin was surprised, “Yanzi, are you talking to Mao Gonggong? Do you know?”
Fang Yan and Zhang Zhong’e looked at each other, and Zhang Zhong’e replied: “Teacher He, don’t make random guesses. Mr. Mao likes to support the younger generation. Excellent novels like Yanzi combine reform literature and historical literature. , it’s normal to be criticized.”
"That's right."
He Xin's tense face slowly relaxed.
"Yes, I said, there is no need to be so anxious about Yanzi's manuscript. What are you anxious about? In the end, you are anxious about yourself."
Tian Zengxiang touched the newly bought Hetian jade Seed material.
“Yeah, I’m so anxious these days that I’m getting a little angry.”
Seeing He Xin's face sinking, Fang Yan made peace.
Then he changed the topic to jade. While chatting, he opened the envelope. The content was completely different from the previous one, which was almost all criticism.
Scattered, there are already several letters of support.
Also among this pile, I found letters of encouragement from Wang Anyi, Tie Ning, Jiang Zilong and others, especially Jiang Zilong.
A big thumbs up for the big commotion caused by dialect.
After all, when I was writing "The Taking of Director Qiao", I was bombarded by Tianjin newspapers and periodicals at best, but the scale of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" was huge, leaping from the literary and art world to the history world. , legal circles, and theoretical circles, sweeping the country.
Even the entire newspaper industry was mobilized.
For example, "Jinmen Daily" publishes full-page comments every day, even up to 18 pages at a time.
In the envelope, Jiang Zilong thoughtfully attached a bunch of newspapers from Tianjin, including comments that he cheered for himself.
"The whole novel "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" is good, no matter how you say it, it is a fragrant flower. Even if it has shortcomings, it is still a fragrant flower with shortcomings."
Fang Yan couldn't help but feel happy, he was indeed my purple dragon!
“Why are there so many newspapers in Tianjin?”
Tian Zengxiang blinked.
The explanation in dialect surprised He Xin: "Is Yan Ziqian's relationship with Jiang Zilong and the Jinmen literary circle so good?"
"Zilong and I are classmates and roommates. ”
"That's right!"
"I was able to write "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty", and he was the first to do so."
The dialect simply tells the story.
He Xin's heart skipped a beat when he heard Tian Zengxiang say: "Hurry up, take advantage of the opportunity of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" to set off a new upsurge in reform literature. Can you make an appointment with Jiang Zilong and ask him to write a manuscript for us? "October" Write a novel about reform? ”
“I have already asked”
Fang Yan shook his head and said that Jiang Zilong currently had no creative inspiration.
"I think there is no need to be too anxious about this matter. We can wait until Yanzi completes the draft plan for northern Shaanxi."
He Xin let out angrily.
Fang Yan smiled and said nothing, Tian Zengxiang leaned his head over and whispered softly: "He, he was gloating a few days ago, thinking that you would lose the competition with him for the deputy team because of the controversy of "The Fission of Qin" "As a matter of fact, I'm not interested in this deputy leader."
"No way, you are young, don't you want to make progress?"
"Of course I want to make progress, but what I am more interested in is..."
Fang Yan held up a piece of paper with a smile Remittance order.
It says 5873 yuan, the first payment has been received!
………………
Throughout February, reviews of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" became intense. Topics in various newspapers and magazines extended from the novel itself to reform, and journals such as "Lookout" also joined the debate.
With this, the sales volume of "People's Literature" exceeded one million copies.
In the magazine, Zhang Guangnian was discussing with Liu Jianqing and others how to play the second part of "The Fission of Qin" well.
At this moment, the secretary suddenly came over and reported that Chief Huang Baizhi from the Wenhua Port was coming to the Humanities Club soon, accompanied by Hu Muqiao.
Zhang Guangnian was surprised and went out to greet him.
"Rare guests, rare guests, why are you all here?"
"Why don't we look at this old friend of yours? I heard that you are planning to abdicate in favor of others and want to resign as the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature"?"
Hu Muqiao shook hands with him tightly.
Zhang Guangnian said bluntly that he was old and in poor health. The Writers Association already had a lot of things to do, and it was definitely not a long-term solution to serve as the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" again, so he planned to give up his position.
“Do you have any recommendations?”
Hu Muqiao and Huang Baizhi looked at each other.
Zhang Guangnian named two carefully considered candidates.
"Liu Baiyu" and "Wang Meng" are first recommended as candidates.
“I will take your meaning back.”
Hu Muqiao nodded, “But before that, I have to trouble Brother Guangnian.”
< br>
Huang Baizhi smiled and said: "It's a pity. Under the editor-in-chief of Comrade Guangnian, People's Literature is flourishing and its achievements are obvious to all. Especially the recent "The Fission of Qin" has caused a violent response across the country and even alarmed the old leaders. "
"You two are here to fight, right?"
Zhang Guangnian looked calm and even joked.
"The great man said that Qin Shihuang was a good emperor. We should combine Ma Kesi with Qin Shihuang. We should also have the same attitude towards Qin's reforms and Shang Yang's reforms."
Hu Muqiao said in a low voice. This is what the person said.
Zhang Guangnian couldn't help but be surprised: "Who also knows about "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty"?"
"Yes, he also said that he also mentioned a 'horse theory' similar to the white horse and the black horse, but it was not a horse. It’s a cat.”
Huang Baizhi summarized the evaluation in one sentence, this little doll is well written! This novel is so well written!
Zhang Guangnian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Haha, famous teachers produce great disciples. This dialect is actually Mao Gong's disciple."
"It turns out that he is Mao Gong's disciple. No wonder he wrote A good article." Huang Baizhi secretly asked if the second part of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" was already in the editorial department.
Zhang Guangnian instantly understood the purpose of their trip. The co-author was not here to criticize, but someone wanted to read the second part.
"Brother Guangnian, your judgment is too precise. It is stuck before the implementation of the reform, which makes people sleepless at night!"
Hu Muqiao smiled and said: "Look After finishing the upper part, I wanted to see the lower part right away, but I had to wait for more than a month."
"I understand."
Zhang Guangnian agreed and asked people to start printing immediately.
"Comrade Guangnian, can you print a few more copies?"
Huang Baizhi said bluntly that many of his comrades and friends were trying their best to find out about the subordinates.
"Then you have to explain to me what the boss's attitude is towards "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty"?"
Zhang Guangnian looked serious.
Hu Muqiao said with a smile: "When this book hits the market, it may start a discussion about reform like the Zhenli Standard in previous years. What we have to do now is to wait and see how it changes. , but don’t worry, Fang Yan’s doll won’t do any harm.”
