Many years ago, the yard of Xiaoliubukou Hutong was always very lively.

As long as you are a practitioner related to literature, the first thing you do when you come to Beijing is to go to Xiaoliubukou Hutong. Many young young people who have just entered the industry even have a pilgrimage mentality when they first came here.

During those years, Xiaoliubukou Hutong had many nicknames, "Folk Art Association", "Chang'an Street No. 1 Guesthouse"

The nicknames given by colleagues are all out of their love for this place. I wonder how many people have spent a happy life here. For many people, this place is like a paradise in the literary world.

It was probably from 1992 that the popularity of Xiaoliubukou Hutong began to gradually decline.

That year, the elderly people's southern tour started, which led to the last and largest group of tides since the reform and opening up.

Not only civil servants in government departments, workers in state-owned units, and even many people who originally engaged in literature have become trendsetters of the times.

Looking at money and making money has become everyone's goal.

The once crowded Xiaoliubukou Hutong has gradually become lonely in such a general environment. Although there are occasional lively times, it is still incomparable to the grand occasion of the past.

Today is the rare lively time of Xiaoliubukou Hutong. Everyone came to the West Courtyard to watch the movie. Chen Jianyu came to Xie Tieli's version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

When Li Tuo saw the scene where the Jia family ended in the end, he felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"Think about it carefully, the days in the past few years were so happy! Although there was no money, with such a rich spiritual pursuit, people never feel that there was a time of poverty in their hearts."

"That kind of situation is impossible to happen again. The era of idealism has passed. Now it is a market economy, a commercial society, and everything is inevitably vulgarized." Zhu Wei said.

Yu Hua said: "The special nature of the 1980s Teacher Chaoyang talked about it a long time ago. It was a short-term cultural prosperity in the social correction stage, and now it is just a return to normal."

"That is the correction of society, but it is the youth of our generation!" Li Tuo sighed.

Lin Chaoyang said quietly: "You said just now, 'Fifty-seven years of wind and frost'."

Li Tuo's originally melancholy expression instantly solidified, and everyone couldn't help laughing, mocking Li Tuo for being an old cucumber with green paint, one by one - pretending to be young.

"If you want to say that it is Chaoyang, Yu Hua and his generation have almost the same youth, so don't join in the fun." Zheng Wanlong said in a sarcastic tone.

Yu Hua waved his hand and said, "Don't compare me with Teacher Chaoyang. I was still in school when he became famous."

He couldn't help but be amazed when he said this: "The best time for literature has passed, but Teacher Chaoyang's era is far from over."

Yu Hua's words were very suspicious of flattery, which attracted everyone's ridicule.

He couldn't help but argue for himself, "I'm fine. I've watched "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes"? Who dares to say that it's not like this?"

Everyone was speechless. "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes" is a work recognized by the critics for Lin Chaoyang's climb to the top again. Who dares to question it?

Not to mention the reputation of this novel in the critical community and reader group, just talk about its sales after publication and publication.

At that time, the novel was published in "People's Literature" as a special account, and its sales volume easily exceeded 2 million copies, setting a sales record for "People's Literature" over the years.

In recent years, domestic book piracy has become increasingly serious, which has greatly impacted the domestic book market.

For example, the popular novels such as "White Deer Plain" and "Waste City" sold pirated copies several times higher than the original version, and many writers were full of anger when they said it.

The same is true for Lin Chaoyang's novels, and the piracy situation is more serious than other writers, and there are readers who divert "People's Literature" to the forefront.

But even so, "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes" exceeded one million copies in just 3 months after its publication.

Except for writers who occasionally create hot-selling works like Jia Pingwa, such achievements are beyond the reach of most writers, but for Lin Chaoyang, the sales of such works are the norm.

Yu Hua left everyone speechless, and his expression showed a bit of complacent expression.

When it comes to Lin Chaoyang's works and literary achievements, everyone is convinced, but they are all recommended by readers with real sales.

They are not disagreeing with Lin Chaoyang's status and influence in the contemporary literary world, but they are not used to Hua's flattering attitude.

You kid is a well-known writer after all. Can you have a bottom line?

Yu Hua probably read their thoughts from everyone's eyes, but he didn't care at all. He is much more famous now than before, but he is still far from Teacher Chaoyang.

In his eyes, praising Lin Chaoyang is not a shameful thing.

When talking about Lin Chaoyang's works, we also talked about the upcoming Lin Chaoyang (China) Literary Research Association led by Yan University.

When Japanese scholars founded the Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association, the news caused a lot of discussion in China.

As a literati, he has always valued fame. If he can enter the house, his reputation will be kept in history, then it will naturally be the best.

Being the subject of scholars’ research is not a name for being kept in history, but entering the house is definitely qualified.

When the news came back to China, I wonder how many writers I envied.

At the beginning of the year, the news that the United States established the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association spread to China, which immediately brought a huge shock to the domestic writer circle.

In the past, people only regarded the establishment of the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association in Japan as a preference for Lin Chaoyang by the Japanese readership group and the literary community.

But now, even the United States has established Lin Chaoyang's literary research association, and it is led by a world-leading university like Yale University, which undoubtedly confirms Lin Chaoyang's influence worldwide.

This news shocked the domestic peers. They all said that their peers were enemies, but these domestic peers could not raise any jealousy about Lin Chaoyang's popularity overseas.

There is no reason, the difference between the two sides is too big.

With the stimulation of this news, news later came out that Yan University planned to take the lead in establishing a Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association in China. Apart from a few discussions, the peers did not have any splashes in the writers' circle.

Foreign literary research associations have been established for ten years, and domestic universities have only been established. No wonder these universities in China are not as good as those in foreign countries.

You said you are so reserved!

However, Li Tuo had a lot of opinions on the establishment of the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association in Yan University.

Since he is a literary research association, he must absorb members. As a well-known "Lin Chui", how could Li Tuo be missing such a thing?

After hearing the news, he contacted Hong Zicheng of Yan University and expressed his hope to become the first member of the Literary Research Association.

"What do you think? I said that my education and my professional title were not up to standard, so I got it down!"

Li Tuo was full of anger when he mentioned this. He had been in the literary world for more than 20 years. Not to mention the flat side, at least he had a number one figure. Where did he not give face?

As a result, when I went to the Literary Research Association, my face was lost and I felt very humiliated.

The sorrows and joys of human beings are not consistent, and Li Tuo is full of grief and anger, and everyone is overjoyed.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they imagined Li Tuo finding Hong Zicheng with confidence and then being rejected without mercy.

After picking up the fun, Zhu Weicai asked seriously: "Can you add your resume to a research institute?"

Li Tuo snorted coldly, "Hong Zicheng said that the first batch of members involved the application matters of the research association, and they used university professors, NPC, Normal University, and First Division—"

He counted the school's name and pronounced several names. Lin Chaoyang was very familiar with it, including Wu Furen, who was the teacher Tao Yushu went to Yan Normal University.

"They are just doing academic discrimination and professional title discrimination!" Li Tuo gritted his teeth and said that he was planning to record all these people in his notebooks and settle the accounts one by one after another.

"Yes, we can't blame others for discriminating against you. This kind of research association is mainly based on academic research."

"Why can't I do research? I have written more reviews over the years than their papers add up!"

Zhu Wei asked him again: "If you are a first-class writer, can you join?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Then you can't blame others for your professional title evaluation when the literary association evaluated your professional title. You are above the top and said, "Being a writer is not a fitter, what is your professional title evaluation?"

It would be fine if I didn’t comment, but I even dug up all the people who commented.

This is called the cycle of heaven and law, and retribution is unhappy."

Li Tuo stared at him angrily, but he had no choice but to do anything, because he had said this.

Everyone talked and laughed until the middle of the night, and the voices gradually became less and less silent.

A few days later, Lin Chaoyang was tired of reading books and had nothing to do, so he started practicing calligraphy.

His habit of practicing calligraphy was influenced by Tao's father and he imitated his posts for more than ten years.

After finishing the work of a great man's "Qinyuanchun·Snow", Lin Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his skills had improved again, and it was enough to fool a layman.

He practiced calligraphy only for meditation and had no pursuit.

The only regret he regrets is that he has no talent in poetry creation, and he doesn’t have to match one or two poems to practice, so he always feels that he is almost meaningful.

"Big uncle!Big uncle!"

As soon as he put down his pen, he noticed that there seemed to be someone in the window. When he looked up, he saw Tao Xiwu lying there.

Seeing that he discovered it, Tao Xiwu was happy.

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, and Tao Xiwen immediately rushed into the study.

"It's winter vacation?"

"Well, it was just off two days ago." Tao Xiwu looked at the mobao with the ink on the table, and Anne said, "Big uncle, your word is really Yan Jinliu bone, powerful and powerful!"

Lin Chaoyang laughed and scolded, "I don't learn and ignorant. I won't praise anyone. I'm copying MiPu's post."

Tao Xiwu smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and immediately changed his words: "I'll just say that your word is long and you won't let the two kings."

"Slippery!" Lin Chaoyang sorted out his pen and asked, "What are you doing here? You can't just flatter me, right?"

"Blind, I miss you anymore, come and see you."

Lin Chaoyang nodded, "Finish. I've seen it, so go home if I have nothing to do."

"Don't interfere!" Tao Xiwu suddenly turned bitter and did not dare to be sloppy anymore. He said honestly: "I'm here today to find you a sponsor."

"Sponsored? Want to make a movie?"

Tao Xiwu was studying at the Film Academy. When Lin Chaoyang heard that he wanted to attract sponsorship, his first reaction was that he wanted to make a movie.

"Well. I'm about to graduate. I and a few classmates plan to get a graduation work. We have written the script and we plan to send this movie to the film festival."

Lin Chaoyang automatically filtered Tao Xiwu's daydream and asked: "How much does it cost?"
