Chapter 290: Bring the hometown magazine? Then let’s engage in street stall literature (please order the full version)
My uncle, I guess it’s time to get home, right?
Cheng Xuemin, who was still in his hometown in northern Shaanxi, estimated the time and knew that his uncle should be home almost tonight.
So, I don’t know if my uncle is satisfied with the big surprise he left for me.
But I don’t know, my uncle is completely confused at this time, don’t be too surprised!
“This Xuemin, why didn’t he tell me? Why didn’t he tell me?”
Sister-in-law Ke Yumei was surprised to see her man so surprised and realized that the whole family had wrongly blamed him. , followed by asking: "Jia Zhao, didn't Xuemin tell you!?"
"Didn't mom explain to the young man that when he got to the place, he would tell you the good news as soon as possible?"
"Be careful, you may harm your son!" Ke Yumei shouted when she saw Feng Jiazhao rushing up to touch his son.
"No, no, no, you won't get my son!" Feng Jiazhao was excited and incoherent. He didn't know what to say about his brother-in-law, and then said to his woman, "No! Xuemin, he's half Didn’t say a word to me.”
"Just when you came back from the trip, you told me that there was a surprise waiting for me at home, so I could come back and see it myself!"
"I never knew it was such a big surprise, great, great!"
< br>"My parents must be overjoyed, right!?"
My uncle then asked again. He had a grandson here, and his old-fashioned parents must be overjoyed.
This is all the credit of my brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin, thanks to the earthworks he brought back.
......
Where is Cheng Xuemin on his side!
According to the original plan, we were to leave tomorrow, taking my mother, sister, father, uncle and brother-in-law with me!
Of course!
Cheng Xuemin, his father, the secretary, and his brother-in-law were just sent to the county.
Go there early and take a look at the county agricultural machinery factory together in the morning.
Look at the flour mill and oil press.
The uncle has been visiting the commune for the past two days, hoping that the commune can pull a line and provide electricity to their Chengjiawan brigade.
But what the commune means is that the county has to decide on this matter.
The commune does not have that authority. To connect the power lines to the brigade, power must be supplied through the county.
But without a suitable reason, the county generally does not provide electricity to the brigade. Now that the county is poor, it is already very difficult to ensure that every commune has electricity.
If you go down further, you have to wait.
Of course, if there is a suitable reason, the county will help.
This reasonable reason is that you have to buy the flour mill first, preferably from an agricultural machinery factory in the county.
Talk to the agricultural machinery factory!
Our brigade bought their flour mill and oil press, and they were responsible for establishing good relations with the county and helping to connect the electricity.
There is a precedent for this!
There is a relatively wealthy advanced brigade under the commune next door. They bought flour mills from the county agricultural machinery factory. The agricultural machinery factory helped them, so their brigade was powered on first.
After the machine comes in, just power it on for debugging and start working.
So!
After learning about this situation at the commune, the brigade secretary and his uncle discussed with Cheng Xuemin when he came back, and they must be related to the agricultural machinery factory!
If the county could directly arrange for people to come down and energize their brigade, it would save a lot of money on materials.
That’s it!
Cheng Xuemin and the others discussed that when he left for Yanjing, he would stop by the agricultural machinery factory and try to get the power supply done.
What Cheng Xuemin and the others didn’t expect was!
This evening, my old uncle came over to inform me that the commune had received a notice from the county, stating that tomorrow the relevant county leaders would come down to visit the Yanda talents who had been commended.
Let Cheng Xuemin and his sister prepare, as well as his daughter Qin Xiaolian, and her brother-in-law's Yanjing Normal University is also a famous university, and they will definitely be commended when the time comes.
Is this popular in this era?
If you are admitted to Yan University and Huaqing University, will you be commended by the county? I just don’t know if there will be any bonuses or anything like that.
If it were placed decades later, it would be the era that Cheng Xuemin traveled through.
If you are admitted to Yenching University, there will be rewards not only from the school, but also from the village, town, county, and even the city.
After being rewarded by several levels of departments, it is not impossible for a Yenching University or Huaqing University to receive a seven-digit reward in a rich area with a relatively backward education.
So if a leader from the county comes to visit and commend him, he will definitely not be able to leave tomorrow and will have to wait a day or two.
Fortunately, Lao Xie gave Cheng Xuemin enough time. He had a week to make it in time.
The next day!
Cheng Xuemin went with him to the commune to greet him, and found that most of the county leaders had come down.
And there are regional leaders.
It is mainly to commend my elder sister, my cousin, and my brother-in-law who have been admitted to key universities in Yanjing, and encourage them to continue to study hard and make contributions to their hometown when they return from their studies.
Although Cheng Xuemin also took the college entrance examination, and Yenching University should not be a big problem, his household registration and student registration are not here.
No one told the county and district leaders that he had also been admitted to Yenching University.
So there was no such thing as him in the commendation meeting above.
But!
Almost all of them are familiar faces. Most of them came to visit Cheng Xuemin, a reform pioneer, during the Chinese New Year.
So when I saw that Cheng Xuemin was also in my hometown, I had to invite him to the front desk and say a few more words.
I kept praising Cheng Xuemin at the meeting. Although he walked out, he still missed his hometown.
Why do you say that?
Only then did Cheng Xuemin know that the county had received a notice from the provincial capital Xi Film Studio, saying that in the middle of this month, their factory had a movie "Loess High Slope" that would go to Guanzhuang in their county. Filmed in Chengjiawan, Commune.
Let the county receive preparations.
The crew of "Loess Plateau" is coming to Chengjiawan for filming?
Cheng Xuemin had mentioned this to him before at West Film Studio.
A month ago he went to Northwest China and visited Yanhe Literature when passing through the provincial capital.
At that time, Lao Hu from Yanhe Literature called Director Wu of Xiying Studio to come over and drink with him.
At the wine table, Director Wu expressed his apology to Cheng Xuemin about the filming situation of the movie "Loess High Slope".
Due to financial problems at that time, the crew did not have any arrangements to go to Chengjiawan for filming. Instead, most of the filming was done in the studio in the factory.
Some of the exterior scenes were shot on the outskirts of their city.
to this end!
Directors Wu and Mo Shen of Xiying Film Studio both expressed their apologies for this.
At that time, Cheng Xuemin said that it was nothing, and that the location of the movie must be decided by the factory.
It cannot be said that Cheng Xuemin is writing about his hometown, so he has to go to his hometown for filming.
This matter has already passed.
Furthermore, Cheng Xuemin also heard at that time that the filming of the Loess Gaopo movie was almost finished.
In the later stage, it is planned to have a premiere during the National Day screening, and Cheng Xuemin was also invited to attend the premiere.
Why did he suddenly come over again and shoot the scene?
Cheng Xuemin was confused when he heard this.
However, it is a good thing.
This can promote the hometown, and the county leaders also attach great importance to it.
For this!
Cheng Xuemin also responded to the county’s call and made as much contribution to his hometown as he could.
For example, they brought a flour grinding machine from their Chengjiawan brigade, but the brigade did not have electricity...
The county leaders made a decision on the spot and immediately turned on the electricity without saying a word.
The reform pioneers must contribute to their hometown and respond to the spirit of reform in Yanjing, but they cannot lose their chain because there is no electricity.
Let’s talk again!
The crew of Xi Film Studio will also be stationed in the area in a few days. If there is no electricity in the place, how can we make a movie?
This was an unexpected surprise.
However, Cheng Xuemin didn’t have that time, so he waited at home for Lao Wu and his crew from West Film Studio to come over.
After receiving the county leaders, Cheng Xuemin set off back to Yanjing the next day as planned.
Because the county leaders made the decision yesterday, they will arrange manpower as soon as possible to connect the power lines to their Chengjiawan team to ensure that the film shooting team coming from the provincial capital can proceed smoothly with power.
So Cheng Xuemin was sent to the county this time by his father, his uncle, and his three brothers-in-law. The uncle stopped following him as he got older.
Originally, my cousin didn’t plan to go so early, so she set off with her brother-in-law later.
Maybe it was because the busy farming season was over and my cousin couldn’t sit still in her hometown, so my uncle simply asked Cheng Xuemin to take her away with him.
"Xuemin, you came just in time, it's almost time for dinner!"
"The leaders went to the County No. 1 Middle School for an inspection today. They will come back for lunch later, and we will be together then. Let’s have lunch before setting off.”
“These leaders have already made arrangements. Just wait a moment, Xuemin.” When we arrived at the county, we didn’t go straight to the regional bus station. Here comes the county party committee.
There are already staff here, waiting for Cheng Xuemin.
Xiao Li, the agency secretary, explained to Cheng Xuemin that the leader had other arrangements this morning and had to have lunch before returning to the area.
"Okay, okay, we are not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry!"
Cheng Xuemin was not in a hurry after hearing this, and nodded politely. Under the arrangement of Secretary Xiao Li, now the county Wait a moment inside.
"Then Xuemin, um... um, let's go back first?"
When I came out, I didn't hear his son say that he was taking the regional leader's car to the regional train station. ?
Seeing that he was waiting to have lunch at the county office, the somewhat anxious Father Cheng said in embarrassment.
"It's okay, uncle, let's have a meal together later, have a meal together!"
"It's not too late to go back after the meal!"
< br>We all know that this is the father of reform pioneer Cheng Xuemin, as well as his uncle and brother-in-law. It is already time for dinner. How is it possible to let them go back hungry?
Secretary Xiao Li quickly tried to persuade Cheng to stay again and comforted Cheng's father, uncle, brother-in-law and others.
"Xuemin, what's going on?"
After everyone sat down, the old uncle also looked at Cheng Xuemin and asked awkwardly.
“Dad, uncle, that’s it!”
“Yesterday I had a good chat with the county and district leaders, and when they heard about my return trip today, the district leaders suddenly Invite me again to take the local bus back to the district!”
“It’s hard to refuse such kindness, so I agreed!”
Cheng Xuemin explained with a smile, Take the regional leader's car to go to the region or take the train.
In fact, it was the regional leaders who asked for help from Cheng Xuemin.
Now that it has been opened, Wenhuazi is the first to bear the brunt and is the first to open it.
Not only the major newspapers and magazines in Yanjing have been liberalized, but also at the local level. They are all competing to create newspapers and magazines that belong to their respective local regions!
While developing wildly, it has also been subject to great regional restrictions.
For example, in their Yulin area, there are Yulin Morning News and Yulin Literary Magazine. Their sales and influence are basically within one-third of an acre.
Let alone going to the whole of China, even going to the provincial capital or the next door area is extremely difficult and has no influence at all.
Of course, the situation of local magazines across the country is basically the same as that in Yulin.
There is no way to compare it with provincial-level publications, or even publications directly managed by the ministry.
But!
That’s it for other areas, but their Yulin area has a reform pioneer, and the influence of the manuscripts written can’t be overstated.
So the regional leaders wanted to book a manuscript with their reform pioneer a long time ago, so as to increase the influence of their regional publications, and by the way, also increase the influence of their region.
Isn’t that why I wanted to come down and clear up the situation at Pioneer’s family first, and then make an appointment for Pioneer in Yanjing?
Unexpectedly, this time I came down and met Gaikai Pioneer himself.
Then simply change this to Pioneer and take it to their area to sit down and ask for manuscripts in person.
To this!
After Cheng Xuemin learned about it, he did not refuse and wrote for his hometown. This was definitely his duty.
However, regional magazines want to open up the national market and gain national influence.
To be honest, in the current environment, it is a bit unrealistic to talk about dreams.
This is not something that one or two influential authors can increase their influence by publishing just a few articles.
Even if Cheng Xuemin publishes an article in every issue of their magazine, he may not be able to achieve very good results.
In that case!
Cheng Xuemin gave several suggestions to regional leaders. If they want to break regional restrictions, they must reform and open up!
As for how to change it and how to put it in place?
Cheng Xuemin did not go into more depth yesterday, but excused himself to go back and think about it again.
"Then you should have told us in advance!"
After listening to Cheng Xuemin's explanation, the old uncle said a little awkwardly.
"Uncle, you probably come to the county often, so you won't be so nervous, right?"
"It's just a meal!"
Seeing that my uncle is so nervous, Cheng Xuemin joked with a smile.
As a commune cadre, my uncle does not go to the county every day, but it is common to go once or twice a month, right?
"I've been here before, but I've never had a meal in a county office!"
"Thank you, Xuemin! When you go back, you can meet Lao Yang and the others. Bragging!"
The old uncle smiled shyly.
"Dad, you have had dinner with the leaders of the provincial capital after all. How nervous are you about this scene?"
Cousin Qin Xiaolian laughed and teased her dad.
"Um, when did you have dinner with the leaders of the provincial capital?" The old uncle asked a little surprised by his daughter's smile.
“It was just the last time I went to Yanjing! Brother and I had dinner at the newspaper office in the provincial capital!”
Qin Xiaolian mentioned again that during the Chinese New Year this year, Lao Hu was attracted by Yanhe Literature in the provincial capital. The time they invited me to dinner.
"Look at me, face me, I remember, I remember, he is indeed a big leader in the provincial capital!"
......
"Story meeting?"
"Xuemin, you mean that the magazines in our region will develop and change in the same way as this story?"
In the car going to the region, Cheng Xuemin handed over a copy of "Story" Society" magazine and handed it to the regional leader next to him.
Regional leaders quickly understood what kind of reforms Cheng Xuemin mentioned yesterday.
"Yes, Secretary Zhao!"
"What I mean is that our Yulin Literature wants to open up the market in surrounding areas, or even enter the provincial capital to increase our sales!"
" Then we can’t imitate those old magazines and publish some traditional literature!”
“We must change and publish as much literary content as possible that is easy to understand and can be read by ordinary people!”
“As for our country, the best thing we have done in popular literature now is the Story Club from Shanghai!”
“Secretary Zhao, you know that this Story Club will be published every time. "Is it the sales volume of the issue?"
The story book Cheng Xuemin took out was from asking his secretary Xiao Li for it when he was at the county party committee.
Story Club, a small regional publication in Shanghai, was able to achieve national best-selling influence within the year of its first publication.
It can be seen that popular literature is the best shortcut for a publication to increase sales.
Also!
Popular literature also has a more popular name, street stall literature.
As for the two main forces of street stall literature, story telling and villain books, which one does not influence the two generations of people in the 80s and 90s?
“How much?”
After listening to Cheng Xuemin’s question, the district leaders were quite confused about the sales volume of the storybook in their hands.
How can such a magazine, which is so vulgar and not even considered literature, have high sales and influence?
“Secretary Zhao, let’s put it this way!”
“This storybook published in Shanghai can be seen and purchased in our Yulin area and even in our county. This is enough to show its sales volume and influence!”
“And the level of this Story Club publication is the same as in our region, or even worse!”
“According to me! As far as we know, the national sales volume of this story club is more than 100,000 copies per issue!"
Cheng Xuemin said with an unsurprising smile.
"One hundred thousand copies!?"
The regional leaders were confused after hearing this. It was just such a vulgar magazine, and its level was not even comparable to that of their regional literature.
But its sales volume is over 100,000 copies per issue?
Oh my God!
Compared with the fact that their Yulin Literature does not even sell 3,000 copies per issue, it’s like one day at a time.
Is one hundred thousand copies a lot?
To put things in perspective, Cheng Xuemin's mother-in-law's "October" only sells 50,000 or 60,000 copies per issue. Do you think it is as strong as 100,000 copies?
