Chapter 229 All vests were exposed, shocking the whole audience! (Please order the full version)
Seeing Liu Xinwu starting to ask about Cheng Xuemin’s manuscript, except Zhang Guangnian already knew about it, and no one could pry into this manuscript!
Qin Zhaoyang, editor-in-chief of "Contemporary" who had just resumed publication, Yang Xiaosheng of "China Youth", Hai Bo, the person in charge of "Kunlun", etc., all gathered around!
They are basically the heads of magazines who started publishing again at the beginning of this year.
Originally, they had just resumed publication and had no influential manuscripts or authors in hand. They would not be able to resume publication to the peak before they ceased publication for a while!
Moreover, it lags behind "People's Literature", "Yenjing Literature", and "October". They only resume publication every half year, which can be said to be one step at a time.
So they are all trying their best to get manuscripts from well-known authors, and they are trying their best to catch up.
And in front of the door!
Who is the most popular author in their magazine and newspaper industry? It must be none other than Cheng Xuemin, the pioneer of reform.
pity!
When they started to prepare for the resumption of publication and were preparing to invite Cheng Xuemin, a pioneer in the reform, to submit manuscripts, they disappeared and were no longer in Yanjing!
More news is directly reported in the People's Liberation Army newspaper, pioneer Cheng Xuemin actually went south to perform condolences on the front line!
Cheng Xuemin, an author, went to perform for condolences?
At that time, everyone was surprised and surprised. Later, they heard that the accident had happened, and it was a false alarm that they survived the disaster.
Everyone also knew that Cheng Xuemin went south this time with a mission!
I went to the front line to interview in person and wrote a article about this war.
This manuscript has received special attention from above. It is another atomic bomb just like "Director Qiao's Taking Up the Job"!
It can be said that whoever can get the exclusive right to publish this article and ignite this atomic bomb will be waiting to return to the top directly.
so!
Everyone is eyeing this manuscript, but no one dares to be the first to mention it, for fear of breaking the current delicate balance.
But who would have known that Liu Xinwu's "October" self-server had a mother-in-law, so he dared to break the delicate balance so blatantly and ask about the manuscript in front of everyone.
What else is there to say!
Qin Zhaoyang from "Contemporary", Yang Xiaosheng from "Kunlun", Hai Bo from "China Youth", and several other magazines were responsible, and they all swarmed up and joined in!
You said something to me, vying for Cheng Xuemin's manuscript.
Faced with the sudden competition from these editors, Cheng Xuemin was caught off guard and unable to cope with it.
"Teacher Liu, Teacher Qin, Teacher Yang, Teacher Hai, Teacher Li... Teachers, please let me finish, let me finish!"
There was no chance to interrupt, these teachers were so enthusiastic!
"What are you robbing? What are you squeezing? Lao Qin, Lao Yang, Lao Hai, and you, Li Qingquan, why are you everywhere?"
"Let Xuemin speak for himself!"
"It's definitely useless for you guys to rob me like this. Let Xuemin say it himself. We are all responsible persons of each unit. Can you please improve your image?"
Liu Xinwu also took the opportunity and quickly helped Cheng Xuemin to persuade everyone not to rush or crowd!
He really has Cheng Xuemin’s mother-in-law at his disposal, and he is really not afraid of these old guys competing for this article in "October".
Didn’t Cheng Xuemin say it all? The manuscript has been written and is now being polished by his mother-in-law!
What else is there to grab?
Teacher Gu must have left this manuscript for their own use in "October". Can they really be snatched away by these old guys who have just emerged?
If they really took it away, how could we directly surpass them in "October"?
How does this work?
After all, their "October" magazine resumed publication half a year earlier than their "Contemporary" and "Kunlun" magazines, so they have already seized the opportunity!
After publishing extremely influential articles such as "Director Qiao's Taking Up the Job" and "New Year's Greetings", it was directly promoted from a bimonthly publication to a monthly publication.
Now is the critical period to work hard to catch up with Li Qingquan's "Yenjing Literature". Xuemin, the son-in-law, has created such an atomic bomb. How could Teacher Gu give it to others?
This time, it was their turn to release the atomic bomb in October.
Zhang Guangnian from People's Literature next to him didn't say anything at all, he just watched these guys snatching it away. It was quite fun!
Seeing the full confidence of Liu Xinwu from "October" again, he ordered everyone to stop talking and let their son-in-law Cheng Xuemin from "October" speak for himself!
Okay, great!
Lao Liu, your "October" son-in-law will give you a big surprise!
Thinking of the joy, Zhang Guangnian secretly patted Liu Xinwu on the shoulder, hoping that he could hold on.
But at this moment, Liu Xinwu is all on Cheng Xuemin!
Zhang Guangnian patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't take it seriously and continued to watch Cheng Xuemin waiting for his next words.
Waiting for Cheng Xuemin to continue, he couldn't decide who to give the manuscript to, it was his mother-in-law, Teacher Gu, who had the final say.
For their "October", this sentence is enough!
"Teacher Liu, dear teachers, this is it!"
"This time I went south to express condolences. I was entrusted by the General Political Department to write an article about the frontline soldiers!"
"This manuscript may involve some sensitive issues, so it needs to be sent to the General Administration for review first!"
"If there is no problem in the review, it will be published in a publication designated by the General Administration..."
"Actually, it's "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art". Teacher Dong Lingdong of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" who went south this time is also the first editor of my manuscript!"
"So, let all the teachers fall in love with you by mistake!"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Xuemin bowed half-bowed and expressed his regret to these enthusiastic teachers.
Especially Liu Xinwu from "October" disappointed them again!
“Huh? You want to give it to the People’s Liberation Army Literature and Art?”
As soon as the editors-in-chief heard that the manuscript was going to the People's Liberation Army Literature and Art, they were immediately speechless and couldn't grab it!
If this was Liu Xinwu's "October", they would still want to give it a try.
But after hearing that it was "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art", everyone knew that it was no longer possible!
And what Cheng Xuemin said is right!
This manuscript is about the war on the front line. If the manuscript is not given to "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art", who should it be given to?
"Xuemin, do you want to give it to "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art"?" Liu Xinwu's face, which was originally beaming when he heard this, suddenly collapsed like the last time "Director Qiao took office" was pried open. He nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Xuemin, it is indeed right for you to submit this manuscript to "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art". After all, this is a manuscript established by the General Administration!"
Liu Xinwu nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, and he was very open-minded!
Anyway, don’t give this manuscript to them such as “Contemporary” and “Kunlun”, especially Li Qingquan’s “Yanjing Literature”. It can be given to anyone else.
Even if it is "People's Literature" for Zhang Guangnian, it will do!
Because giving "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and "People's Literature" will only add icing on the cake, and help the author Cheng Xuemin gain another wave of influence.
"October" is not competitive with them at all.
So after Liu Xinwu heard about "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art", although he was disappointed, he soon secretly made a secret.
As long as you don't give it to "Contemporary" and "Kunlun", otherwise as soon as they publish it, they will definitely catch up with their "October", or even catch up and surpass it by a long way.
After all, the influence of these publications before they ceased publication was greater than that of October.
What they lack now may be an equally influential manuscript. As for Li Qingquan's "Yenjing Literature", that's even more impossible!
Otherwise, their "October" really can't catch up, and they can't even catch up.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu!"
Cheng Xuemin could only give Liu Xinwu an apologetic smile, say a few polite words, and go back to their unit "October" to sit and chat again.
I also politely accepted the invitations from several other editors and teachers.
In the past, I could politely agree to it, and I wouldn't take it too seriously as to whether I would go to someone else's house.
On the other hand, Cheng Xuemin didn't agree to the manuscript request in person and nodded in agreement, all because he was going to take the college entrance examination soon, so he really couldn't get around to writing the manuscript.
As for the teachers’ requests for manuscripts, we will wait until the second half of the year.
Hearing that Cheng Xuemin was going to take the college entrance examination this year, Qin Zhaoyang and others who had just returned to the city to resume work were not dumbfounded.
The author they are competing for is actually a student who will take the college entrance examination this year?
I'm a good boy, there are really talented people from generation to generation, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, it's amazing!
"Okay, Xuemin! I've signed in your copies of "The Wrangler", "Director Qiao's Taking Over" and "The Heart of the Grass" for you!"
"Hurry up and submit this manuscript for review and publication. We will try our best to issue you a separate copy as soon as possible!"
If there was anyone present who was the most indifferent to fame and wealth, and who was watching the fun the whole time, it was Li Shuguang from the Humanities Club!
Seeing that everyone was almost done, Li Shuguang opened his mouth to help Cheng Xuemin sign in. By the way, he said that he should quickly submit the completed manuscript for review and publication!
After being reviewed and published, the Humanities Society must strike while the iron is hot and quickly arrange for the booklet to be published!
So!
No matter how these magazines fight, in the end it will still depend on the face of their humanities clubs!
Whether he can publish a book for you or not, the decision lies with him, Li Shuguang.
Moreover, Li Shuguang was the first executive member of the selection committee this time, and his right to speak was only subordinate to the director and three deputy directors.
But those directors and deputy directors are all highly respected writers, and they are just in name. The actual people doing the work are committee members like Li Shuguang!
Li Shuguang is the first executive member and can be said to be the real person in charge of this selection committee.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Teacher Li, I will get back to you as soon as possible!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and saw that Li Shuguang was about to put away the sign-in book again, so he quickly said: "Teacher Li, I haven't finished signing here yet, and I still need to sign two more!"
Li Shuguang has only signed "The Herdsman" and "Heart of an Inch of Grass" submitted by Yanjing Literature, and "Director Qiao's Ascension to the Job" submitted by People's Literature, but he has not signed several other manuscripts published in other places. Woolen cloth!
"Huh?! Xuemin, you still have an award-winning manuscript?! Which one is it? Why haven't we heard of it!?"
Li Shuguang looked confused after hearing Cheng Xuemin's words. He also went through the list of winners in his mind. There should be no missed entries, right?
Isn’t it just those few articles that Cheng Xuemin published?
"Yes, Xuemin! Our later "New Year's Greetings" and "Harvest"'s "Chen Huansheng's Entry into the City" were all manuscripts published this year. This selection is based on manuscripts published before December last year and in the second half of 1977. !”
Liu Xinwu also misunderstood, thinking that Cheng Xuemin didn't know that the manuscripts published this year were not counted, so he quickly explained.
Although these two manuscripts were indeed well written and received a great response, they were both published years ago.
But this time the selection is based on the Gregorian calendar. Although these two manuscripts were published years ago, it was already January of this year in the Gregorian calendar. If you want to be selected, you have to wait until this time next year.
Thinking of something else, Liu Xinwu added: "And the selection this time is for outstanding short stories. Xuemin's few novellas were also not selected for selection!"
In addition to several short stories, Cheng Xuemin also published two novellas a year ago. They were also very well written and received good responses.
If there were awards, I would definitely win.
But that belongs to a novella, and it does not fall into the category of short story selection this time, and it is also not acceptable.
"Teacher Liu, I know!" Cheng Xuemin nodded to Liu Xinwu, then looked at Li Shuguang and said, "Teacher Li, I published two manuscripts in Balao's "Harvest" years ago!"
"One is "The Story of Chen Huansheng Entering the City" that Teacher Liu just talked about, and the other is "The Traitor"!"
""The Traitor" was also written by you, Xuemin?"
As soon as Cheng Xuemin finished speaking, Li Qingquan next to him exclaimed: "This time, two articles of Balao's "Harvest" were selected. One of them is "The Traitor". Was it written by you, Xuemin?"
Good guy!
This is why Li Qingquan couldn’t help but exclaim, because although "Harvest" has just republished one issue last year, this issue directly tied their "Yenjing Literature" for the whole year, with two articles winning awards. ! !
Their two articles on "Yenjing Literature" were both written by Cheng Xuemin, but who knew that one of the two award-winning articles on "Harvest" was also written by Cheng Xuemin!
Good guy, why have you never heard Cheng Xuemin mention it? !
"Xuemin, the award-winning manuscript "The Traitor" in "Harvest" was also written by you?"
Liu Xinwu, who had just changed his mind and opened his eyes a little bit, was stunned when he heard that the winning manuscript of "Harvest" was also written by Cheng Xuemin.
Teacher Gu, what’s going on with her son-in-law! ?
All award-winning manuscripts are sent out. Do you really want to take care of them for "October"?
"No way!? "The Traitor" was also written by you, Xuemin? Then no wonder Li Xiaolin united the front with us!"
People's Literature Zhang Guangnian was also stunned when he heard this. Now he understands why the United Front had "Harvest" in Shanghai at that time!
Before this relationship, Cheng Xuemin had already hooked up with Li Xiaolin of "Harvest" and published articles in their "Harvest"!
"Then doesn't this mean that, Xuemin, you were selected for four manuscripts, and four of them won awards!?"
"Isn't it?! Four articles won awards!? Isn't this, this, this... so impressive?"
Several other teachers followed, all of them were stunned and shocked. It turned out that this pioneer comrade also had a position in Shanghai!
Moreover, "Harvest" can compete with People's Literature, so this position is not small.
""The Traitor" was also written by you, Xuemin?!"
"Xuemin, don't tell me that besides this "The Traitor", there are other award-winning manuscripts that we don't know about!"
"If there is more... you will really take over this awards ceremony!"
Li Shuguang, the actual head of the jury, almost dropped the pen in his hand. He looked at Cheng Xuemin with a shocked face. He opened the sign-in book again, found the winning work "The Traitor", and signed one!
He looked at Cheng Xuemin stupidly and asked again.
What I was thinking was just as Li Shuguang said, if there are award-winning works later, wouldn't this award ceremony be held for him, Cheng Xuemin?
Li Shuguang, the head of the jury, didn't know anything about such a big matter!
"Teacher Li, there are two more articles!"
"One article is "Female College Students' Dormitory" from "Shanghai Literature and Art", and the other article, as you mentioned just now, Mr. Li, is "Loess Plateau" that I published in my hometown's "Yanhe Literature"!"
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
