Chapter 378 There will definitely be a place for the next Mao Dun Literature Award

That night, Lin Chaoyang told Tao Yushu about Du Feng and Tao Yucheng's visit during the day. She couldn't help frowning and asked: "It is indeed more suitable for my sister-in-law to work in this video studio than my eldest brother, but we have to pay for it..."

"It's a loan."

Tao Yushu blinked and looked at him, "Is there a big difference?"

Lin Chaoyang touched his nose and found that it was indeed not big.

"This kind of help only helps once." Lin Chaoyang said.

Tao Yushu nodded and said: "Definitely. He just needs to put food into his mouth. If this doesn't make money, he will just be a teacher honestly from now on."

"Now I am a teacher honestly!" Lin Chaoyang said narrowly.

Tao Yushu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the scene where her husband and cousin teamed up to persuade the ambitious eldest brother to quit.

After laughing, she asked again: "Do you think there is something wrong with Du Feng's method?"

"What's the problem?"

"He wanted to find someone to partner with him to open a video studio, expand the scale quickly, and share the profits with everyone.

But the problem is that the investment in a video studio is neither big nor small. Judging from the current situation, a video studio will pay back its investment in two to three months, or at most six months. Once people make money, they won’t have other ideas? "

Tao Yushu's thinking was very sharp, and he immediately found the most fatal problem in Du Feng's idea.

He has almost no restraint or control over his partners. Once a partner has any dissent, he can demolish him at any time and start a new one.

"When it comes to doing business, you never think about things perfectly right from the start. You always have to fight a lot before you become tyrannical." Lin Chaoyang said calmly.

Tao Yushu looked at his expression and asked, "You have thought of it a long time ago, right?"

"I think it doesn't matter whether I thought of it or not. What's important is that Du Feng himself must have this awareness, otherwise he will suffer losses in the future."

Originally, Tao Yushu was still complaining about Lin Chaoyang for not reminding Du Feng, but after listening to her husband's words, she suddenly understood.

It is useless to teach people a hundred words, but to teach people once and for all.

Seeing her deep in thought, Lin Chaoyang joked: "I think you have more business acumen than Du Feng, so why don't you just go to sea?"

Tao Yushu immediately shook his head, "I can't do it."

"I think it will work. From now on, if you become a strong woman, I will be the man behind you, and I will take you for granted."

His gags made Tao Yushu laugh out loud, "Hahaha! I talk nonsense all day long, oh, it makes me laugh so hard!"

Be serious, I'm not kidding.

Lin Chaoyang muttered something silently in his heart.

This morning, Lin Chaoyang played with Xiao Dongdong in the yard. The seventeen-month-old boy ran like the wind, accompanied by a burst of childlike laughter.

"Dad! Dad!"

Although he couldn't say a complete sentence yet, the word "Dad" was already shouted very clearly. He shouted while running, meaning to ask Lin Chaoyang to chase him.

Lin Chaoyang pretended to chase him, but he was so frightened that he quickly jumped up with his short legs. His laughter was so frightened that he didn't forget to look back. As a result, he accidentally fell to the ground.

Lin Chaoyang hurriedly stepped forward, but his steps slowed down when he was next to him.

"Why don't you get up?"

At this time, Xiaodongdong placed the word "big" on the ground, buried his head on the ground, and did not respond to his words.

"Wherever you fall, just lie there for a while, right?"

Lin Chaoyang didn't help him, just squatted down and looked at him.

After waiting for a while, Xiaodongdong raised his head, pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of grievances. As soon as he opened his mouth and shouted "Daddy", tears poured down from his eyes like a flood that had been released.

This boy followed his mother, had big eyes, and made people hurt when he cried.

Lin Chaoyang hugged him gently, "When running, you have to look at your feet and don't look around. This will prevent you from falling."

Wrestling is a common occurrence for children, and Lin Chaoyang's lessons sounded vaguely understandable to him. He only knew that his father was holding him, and he felt much better.

I cried twice, but before the third cry came out, my tears disappeared, and I struggled to run out of Lin Chaoyang's arms.

"Dad! Dad!"

Ran out again.

The father and son played like this for a while, and Xiao Dongdong's energy was exhausted. He lay in Lin Chaoyang's arms and nodded for a while before falling asleep.

As soon as Lin Chaoyang put him back on the bed in the room, he heard movement at the door of the courtyard. When he went to the door, he saw that it was Li Shifei from "Flower City" and another old man.

"Chaoyang!" Li Shifei was very happy to see Lin Chaoyang. He greeted him and introduced the old man next to him, "This is Su Chen, the president of our Huacheng Publishing House."

"Hello, President Su!"

"Comrade Chaoyang, you're welcome. Just call me Lao Su."

After a few words of greeting, Lin Chaoyang invited the two of them into the main room.

When entering the hospital, Su Chen's eyes swept over the plants and trees here, full of interest in life.

Arriving at the house, Lin Chaoyang served tea to the two of them after they sat down, and said with a smile: "This year's Longjing before the rain, Lu Wenfu just sent it to me a few days ago."

Li Shifei was the first to take a sip and said refreshed: "You still know how to live! We people can only live at best."

Su Chen also took a sip of tea, and felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, fresh and comfortable. He didn't know how to taste tea, so he just said: "Good tea!"

"It's just a cup of tea, there are so many things to say. It's other people's tea that's good, but it's a pity that our water in Yanjing is not that good, so we waste such good tea in vain."

"And you said you don't know how to enjoy life? We have never been picky about the water when drinking tea."

"Ha ha!"

After joking for a while, Li Shifei took the initiative to talk about the situation after the publication of "Crossing Guandong".

It has been a full month since the second issue of "Flower City" magazine was released this year. This issue is almost the same as a special issue. Except for the first half of "Crossing Guandong", there is only one Xiangjiang novel and an article from "Flower City" Editorial Department

The comments occupy very little space.

The author of one of the commentary articles was Li Shifei. After reading "Enter Guandong" on New Year's Eve, he was so emotional that he couldn't control himself, so he wrote this article quickly - "A New Epic of Magical Realism".

The article praised the grandeur and historical narrative of "Crossing the Guandong", and even claimed that "Crossing the Guandong" is one of the best novels in the contemporary Chinese literary world in the past ten years.

To be honest, Lin Chaoyang was a little embarrassed when he saw this review written by Li Shifei. Such a naked compliment almost overwhelmed Li Tuo.

After this issue of "Flower City" was published, the sales volume exceeded 1 million copies in just half a month. So far, the total print volume entrusted by Huacheng Publishing House to the printing factory has reached 1.75 million copies.

At this rate, it will be easy for this issue of "Flower City" to sell more than 2 million copies. Only the final sales volume is still unknown, and no one dares to kill it.

What excites "Flower City" the most is that only the first half of "Crossing Guandong" has been released, which means that the next issue of the magazine will still reach the current sales volume, or even go further.

Because the reputation and influence of the novel continue to grow, more and more readers will come to read it in the future.

"When I was reviewing the manuscript of "Crossing the Guandong", I thought that this novel would be very popular, but the effect it has achieved now is far beyond my expectation!" Li Shifei said with a face full of amazement.

After talking about sales, Su Chen talked about the response of "Enter Guandong" in the literary world.

More than a month before the publication of "Crossing the Guandong", Lin Chaoyang proposed the literary concept of "root-seeking literature", which caused a lot of controversy in the literary circle. There were both supporters and critics. Those who opposed and criticized the voices can be said to be

There was a huge uproar, and Lin Chaoyang's criticism was bloody.

This kind of public opinion battle is different from the elimination game. It does not mean that if there are more people who agree with you, the scolding will disappear. On the contrary, those scoldings may become more fierce because of the voices of those who agree.

However, in the period after the publication of "Crossing the Guandong", the critical voice of the literary circle towards Lin Chaoyang and "root-seeking literature" has indeed weakened.

It’s not that those people stopped scolding, it’s because their voices were cut off by a thick barrier when they were conveyed to the readership.

And this barrier is exactly "Breaking Through Guandong".

"Crossing the Guandong" has received rave reviews since its publication, and it happened to be published after Lin Chaoyang proposed the concept of "root-seeking literature." Those supporters of root-seeking literature wittily raised this big banner in their arguments with opponents.

The flag is coming.

Aren’t you saying that root-seeking literature is a restoration of the dross of traditional culture and a new form of isolation?

Look! The pioneering work of root-seeking literature is here!

Take a closer look, is that so?

Using an epic work like "Enter Guandong" to refute the opinions of those who oppose it is a bit overkill, but the effect is unexpectedly good.

After all, the novel is here. Who dares to criticize the artistic level of "Crossing the Guandong" without conscience? Who dares to deny the artistic value of root-seeking literature?

The publication of "Crossing the Guandong" can be said to have provided the fans of root-seeking literature with an unstoppable weapon, which defeated those who opposed it.

At present, only the first half of the novel has been published. When the second half is made public, the praise of this novel from the literary world and readers will probably reach a new level.

By that time, those opponents may be even more powerless to defend themselves.

One can only murmur a few words in defense like Kong Yiji's, "Crossing Guandong cannot be equated with root-seeking literature," and "Isn't it also learning from Latin American literature? What kind of root-seeking is that?"

After chatting for a while about the outside world's response to the novel, Su Chen said with a blushing face: "I read the novel carefully. Your novel will definitely have a place in the next Mao Dun Literary Award!"

Lin Chaoyang quickly said a few words of modesty upon hearing this.

Li Shifei and Su Chen first came up and told a lot of good news. The atmosphere of the conversation was extremely harmonious. After taking another sip of tea, the atmosphere fell into silence for a short time. Li Shifei then said:

"Chaoyang, I have written you a letter before, and you must have guessed that. Lao Su and I came here mainly to talk to you about the publication of "Crossing the Guandong"."

Lin Chaoyang nodded slightly, "I thought of it. Our previous cooperation can be said to be pleasant. If we can continue to cooperate, of course I will be happy."

Just listen to this scene. Li Shifei clearly heard Lin Chaoyang emphasize the word "if".

What does "if" mean? You must agree to his request for royalties!

Royalty payment was the first of its kind in China's publishing industry. Even though they had a tacit understanding before coming here, when it came time to talk about it, Li Shifei and Su Chen were still in a mess.

Lin Chaoyang's demeanor was still calm and relaxed, calm and fearless, but in the eyes of the two of them, he was full of confidence.

The novel is popular, are you amazing?
