Chapter 302: This Novel Is Too Bold!
After the Spring Festival, as the "Tongpao" magazine changed its sales strategy, the four comrades, including Beidao, could no longer meet the daily operation of the magazine, and the five veterans recruited by the magazine needed to run sales, and could not take care of the daily work of the magazine at all, so the editorial department of "Tongpao" expanded again, recruited several editors from the society, and specially invited a financial old man who retired from the old unit, which will meet the daily operation of the magazine.
From the printing house to the printing of magazines, to the post office to send samples, from the next issue of the magazine to answer the phone, check the readers' letters, a group of people are busy dying, but with the sales performance day by day, everyone is full of vitality, this is the passion of entrepreneurs, is the ambition to create a new world, hard and tired are willing.
Such a prosperous scene made Wei Jianguo envious when he saw it, when would the Veterans Foundation have such a busy scene!
When sales were on track, Kitajima sent the second issue of the sample issue of Tongpao magazine and the complete novel of Bright Sword to the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau for review.
This time, Kitajima played a trick, he first sent the second issue of the magazine for review, and only after passing the review and getting the notice of approval did he hand over "Bright Sword".
Then there is the anxious waiting.
This wait is more than ten days, and the manuscript of "Bright Sword" sent is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there has been no news.
As time passed, the North Island became more and more unable to sit still. He had to call the Press and Publication Bureau every day, and every other day he would go to Julu Road, where the Press and Publication Bureau was located, but the reply he got was always that the superior leaders were reviewing it, so he could rest easy.
In such a situation, how could you not have imagined that "Bright Sword" had encountered problems!
Since Govin took the manuscript of "Bright Sword" to the magazine, as the editors of "Tongpao" magazine, they all read it for the first time, and the young people in the club applauded after reading it, and the old man who was engaged in finance was even more teary-eyed and emotional. Only Kitajima is frowning more and more as the storyline of "Bright Sword" progresses.
From the reader's point of view, this is indeed a very good military novel, and the reflection on the buzz is even more thought-provoking and applauding. But as an editor, as the editor-in-chief of a magazine, Kitajima thinks more.
A long time ago, when he ran the poetry magazine "Today", Kitajima was still a beginner, but with the rich experience of editors, as he became the editor-in-chief of "Tongpao", Kitajima could no longer find the impassioned spirit he had at the beginning, and replaced it with responsibility and rationality.
So while the other editors were amazed by Govyn's "Bright Sword", Kitajima frowned when he recalled the novel's description of the Kuomintang and his reflection on the buzz.
That's what Govin has been assuring himself that there is no problem?
This is what Govan called "Bright Sword" will definitely be able to pass the review?
At one point, Kitajima really doubted whether he had made the right decision to let Govin write a military novel to drive sales of "Fellow Robes" in the first place.
I want to hit someone!
Kitajima's heart is roaring.
And now that March has entered the second half of March, there has been no news about "Bright Sword", although it does not affect the release of the second issue of "Fellow Robes", but what about the third issue?
For many days in a row, Bei Dao had a black face, and the other people in the magazine office could hide from him, and if he couldn't hide, he tried to talk as little as possible, for fear of letting the black-faced Bao Gong in front of him take the opportunity to play.
Faced with such a situation, Govin was also speechless.
In other words, the founding policy of "Tongpao" magazine limited the content published in "Tongpao", and now "Tongpao" still relies on the knowledge of entrepreneurship to attract more veterans and ordinary people in the countryside who want to improve their lives, so in addition to the editorial department collecting relevant manuscripts everywhere, even Govin rolled up his sleeves and started it himself.
Combined with his own experience in later life, he found some reports of 10,000 households from newspapers, and then conducted an in-depth and interesting analysis and discussion of the reasons why those entrepreneurial pioneers were able to succeed. Although it is not clear how to make a fortune like the 10,000 households in those cases, it helps everyone who reads the article to understand the thinking and behavior of the 10,000 households, so that everyone who reads the article has a sudden sense of enlightenment.
After writing these two biographies of entrepreneurial figures for "Fellow Soldiers", Govin sent the articles to the magazine.
Then he saw the North Island with a sad face, such a North Island, even Gowen was embarrassed to take the initiative to go up.
As a result, Govin never appeared in the magazine again.
No matter how confident Govin was before, now, he has to doubt his original decision. In desperation, he had to report to Ba Lao that the review of "Bright Sword" seemed to have encountered problems.
Ba Lao immediately called the director of the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau, and then Gewen figured out what happened.
Since Bei Dao submitted the manuscript of "Bright Sword", the Publications Market Supervision Department of the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau began to review "Bright Sword" as usual, and then some sensitive content in the novel made the staff of the Publications Market Supervision Department who reviewed the novel feel embarrassed.
Is the novel a good novel, or is it written by Govyn, but how does the content feel so dangerous?
The staff of this review was not sure whether "Bright Sword" had passed the line, so he handed the novel to the director according to the procedure, and the director also had a big head after reading it.
This novel is so boldly written!
So the director summoned all the members of the Supervision Division, and everyone collectively reviewed the "Bright Sword", and then the comrades of the Publication Market Supervision Division split.
There are two key points that everyone is uncertain about and controversial.
One is a positive praise for the middle-level officers of the Kuomintang on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.
The other is whether the reflection on the buzz is too profound.
The reflection on buzz in "Bright Sword" does not conflict with the current policy of the state, but some leaders in the bureau have made it clear that all articles involving reflection on buzz, including scar literature, need to be reviewed by the bureau, and must adhere to the method of not stopping and discouraged, first see if there is other prohibited content in the article, if not, then see whether the direction of reflection is positive or negative.
Some staff members think that "Bright Sword" is well written, in line with the political trend, and the review should be passed.
Another part of the staff believes that "Bright Sword" has a reflection on the buzz involving the troops, and the intensity is too great, and once it is publicly published, it will inevitably arouse public opinion discussions, guide the public, and bring a wave of reflection. To be on the safe side, it's better not to pass.
That's right, "Bright Sword's reflection on buzz" is politically correct and to most people's tastes.
If we do not oppose the buzz, it will not be enough to indignate the people, not enough to maintain stability, and not enough to maintain the excellent environment for economic construction.
But if it's too dark and too deep in reflection, it will also make people jealous.
Because we do things, the more we deny the past, the more absurd the past policies are. It's still not good for stability.
Reform and opening up should be centered on economic construction, and everything else must escort economic construction.
Balanced, balanced, stable, stable, stable, stable
Once you do something, it will be a bad dish.
The Soviet Union reflected on itself so thoroughly, what happened in the end? It directly disintegrated.
The United States is much smarter, some are black and some are not, and give you free speech, but don't shake everything out, and when it is critical, you have to pretend to be stupid and turn a blind eye.
Don't think that the United States is a good bird, the means are dark, how many people died in the sixties and seventies?
So for the sake of insurance, just treat it as if there is no such thing and send "Bright Sword" back directly.
As for Chu Yunfei, a middle-level Kuomintang officer portrayed positively in "Bright Sword", the opinions in the department are not unanimous.
The main point of contention was whether or not a positive article against the Kuomintang could be published in an open journal.
You must know that in previous articles and materials, whenever the Kuomintang was involved, it was either ignored or portrayed as a harlequin and a reactionary. Moreover, the state does not have a clear policy in this regard, and if something happens, no one can afford it.
Discussions have come and gone, and the Publications Market Supervision Division has never been able to come to a unanimous conclusion.
In desperation, the director of the supervision department could only invite the director and held an enlarged meeting, and the result was the same.
After that, "Bright Sword" was sent to Beijing, and it was up to the General Administration to make the final decision.
Govine was a little crying and laughing, it's just a book, as for such a big fight?
Ba Lao shook his head and sighed: "Everyone is still scared by various sports in the past!" ”
That's right, many people have become frightened birds now, and the various sports of the past have made too many people's hearts palpitate and become very bold.
Perhaps this is why they are so cautious about "Bright Sword".
Govin was able to understand the mentality of these people.
Most people simply can't tell the truth like Ba Lao, dare to face the past, write articles to analyze themselves, and accuse the Cultural Revolution.
This can be deeply experienced from Bei Dao and Lin Yiming, speaking of which, these two are also elites of the younger generation, but even they are taboo about buzz and the Kuomintang, not to mention others.
Govin is different, he is a time-traveler, he knows the direction of history, so when everyone is shining, he dares to stand up, admit the mistakes of the past like Ba Jin, and describe the real history. If he is not a traverser, if he does not know the direction of history, I am afraid that in the face of such a major right and wrong, he will be like Beidao and them, unable to summon up the courage and dare not tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Govin also had to sigh, and now he can only continue to wait for the review results of the State Administration of Press and Publication.
I only hope that the leaders of those General Bureaus can have the same courage as Ba Lao! There is the guts to spit on itself! (To be continued.) )
