Chapter 282: "Fellow Robes"
The Science Fiction Literature Committee is an association that was established just last year, and its organizational relationship is affiliated with the Sichuan Writers Association. In principle, the Science Fiction Literature Committee is also under the management of the China Writers Association, which is a national association, so it is feasible to attach the organizer of the magazine to the Science Fiction Literature Committee.
It's just that Ge Wen had a little contradiction with Wu Dingbai, Ye Yonglie and others, and he also refused to hold a position in the Science Fiction Literature Committee, so it was a little difficult for him to find it again.
Fortunately, there is also the Veterans Foundation!
The full name of the Veterans Foundation is the China Veterans Poverty Alleviation Foundation, and the person in charge is Wei Jianguo, although it is a private foundation, but the organizational relationship is subordinate to the Nanjing Military Region and is under the jurisdiction of the ******, just like the Soong Ching Ling Foundation in China.
Theoretically, the Veterans Foundation has every right to create its own publication, and of course the purpose and purpose of the journal must be related to the foundation.
Therefore, if Govin and Beidao want to start a publication, they can be attached to the Veterans Foundation, and they don't need to ask for help at all.
You must know that the source of funds for the Veterans Foundation is Gowen's manuscript fee, and Wei Jianguo's appointment as the president of the foundation is also the result of Gowen's strong push. It can be said that this Veterans Foundation is a product brought by Gowen, and he can do it here.
Thinking of this, Govin snapped his fingers excitedly, and then told Kitajima his thoughts.
"Really?!"
"Hey, I'm going to lie to you. However, there is a problem here, since it is attached to the foundation, it must be linked to the purpose of the foundation, otherwise it will definitely not pass the review of the Press and Publication Bureau. ”
"It's okay, the magazine only needs to open a poetry column......" Gowen's concern did not resonate with Kitajima.
"Uh...... Okay, then I'll call Wei Jianguo, the head of the Veterans Foundation, right now, and then you can discuss with him what to do with this magazine......" said Gowen and dialed the phone number of Jiangdong Farm.
The Veterans Foundation and Shanghai Jiangdong Farm are both in Shanghai, to put it bluntly, there are two sets of teams, and Chen Hongjun and Wei Jianguo of the Sixth Company are doing things. Because it is just starting a business, manpower and resources are relatively tight, and the Veterans Foundation has rented a house in the urban area to make face, and the real office location is still in the Jiangdong farm.
So Govin made a direct call to the Jiangdong farm.
Chen Hongjun and Wei Jianguo went to Fudan University's Academy of Agricultural Sciences, while the other went to the city with people to sell quail and quail eggs.
When he learned that the other side of the phone was Gowen, the old gun was very happy, and it can be said that almost all of the credit of their group of veterans is to Gowen today. So on the phone, the old gun talked endlessly, which also gave Govin a deeper understanding of the situation of the Jiangdong farm.
Just like the opinion put forward by Govin when Chen Hongjun started his business, Chen Hongjun raised quails for several months, and the quails scattered flowers all over the ground in the entire Jiangdong farm. Then Chen Hongjun and they started to sell, not only selling quails, but also selling quail eggs, not to mention, the citizens of Shanghai really have a soft spot for quails. In addition, Chen Hongjun also opened up the way of the military region, regularly sending quail and quail eggs to the troops around Shanghai.
The business of Jiangdong farms is becoming more and more popular day by day, especially since the beginning of winter.
As the business of Jiangdong Farm is getting better and better, the existing manpower is no longer enough, and Wei Jianguo also took the opportunity to recruit a group of veterans.
Today, Chen Hongjun took people to the farmers' market to sell quails, and Wei Jianguo went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Fudan University.
The new type of feed developed by the Jiangdong Farm funded by the Fudan Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been developed, Wei Jianguo is to see the results in the past, once the new feed is put into use, it will break the difficulties caused by the shortage of feed in the winter breeding industry, and will make the scale of the Jiangdong Livestock Farm to a higher level.
"Govyn, thank you so much!" At the end, the old gun became more and more excited. When he first met Gowen, he still looked down on Gowen, a weak scholar, how could he have imagined that he and others would have changed so much because of Gowen, it was really unpredictable! Real knowledge changes lives!
"Thank you, thank you. Jiangdong Farm also has my shares, to put it bluntly, old gun, you are working for me, I am the evil capitalist on your head. Govin laughed and joked.
"Haha...... If there were a few more capitalists like you, we veterans would have a better life! The old gun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Govin was making fun of himself, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"By the way, Gowen, are you in a hurry to find Commissar Wei? He should be back by noon. Finally stopped laughing, and the old gun remembered to ask Govin the purpose of the call.
"Also, it's not a big deal. When Wei Jianguo comes back, you ask him to call me back. ”
Hanging up the phone, Govin was also a little excited in his heart.
Seeing the fate of many people change because of themselves, and listening to those people's gratitude for themselves, is really emotional.
Looking back and seeing that Kitajima had been looking at him nervously, Govin couldn't help but smile: "Hey, I said what kind of expression do you have?" …… Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with that! You should think about the title of the new magazine and the columns in the magazine. ”
Kitajima was a little embarrassed, his mood relaxed, and he didn't let go of it: "The title of the journal doesn't come just when you open your mouth." Since it is nominally a magazine of the Veterans Foundation, it naturally has to be related to veterans, what do you think of 'colleagues'? 'Is it said that there is no garment, but the same robe with the Son'? ”
Fellows?
"Shhh...... That's a great name! Govin looked at the North Island with some surprise.
This poem said by Beidao is from "Qin Feng Wuyi", which is familiar to almost every Chinese.
This "Qin Feng No Clothes" is the most famous patriotic poem in the ancient "Book of Songs", and it is the war song of the Qin people against the Xirong invaders during the Warring States Period. In this war against aggression, the people of Qin showed a heroic and fearless martial spirit, and also created this generous song full of patriotic passion.
Fellows!
How can he say that he has no clothes, and is with his son?
Who said there are no suits? If I don't have a suit, I'll wear the same robe with you.
Using colleagues as the name of the journal is extremely appropriate, which can not only show that this magazine has a certain iron-blooded meaning, and it is a product of war, which means that even if the veterans have returned to the field, they are still the same as the army. On the other hand, it also echoes the role of the Foundation - it doesn't matter if you don't have clothes, just wear the same thing with me; It doesn't matter if you don't have food, as long as you have a bite of mine, you have a mouthful; It's okay if you're in trouble, the Foundation is here to help you!
Hearing Govine's admiration, Bei Dao became a little proud, and continued: "As for the columns, aren't they just those novels, poems, essays, and reviews, all magazines are similar, let's just follow the columns of other magazines......
Govin shook his head, "Not apt enough. In the future, "Colleagues" will be the journal of the Foundation, so how can there be no column about the Foundation. ”
"Then add a few military-related columns."
"Those veterans are all out of the army! They may be peasants, they may be workers, they may be cadres, but they are not soldiers! ”
“……”
Seeing that Beidao was speechless and thinking about it, he knew that he had dealt a blow to his arrogance, so he said seriously: "On the one hand, the purpose of starting a magazine is to realize Beidao's dream, and on the other hand, it must really serve the purpose of publicizing and promoting the foundation!" You can't scrap public ...... for private reasons."
"Do you have any good ideas?" Kitajima nodded, but he didn't have any better ideas for a while, so he wanted to hear Gowen's opinion.
"The Veterans Foundation is a charitable foundation, not simply giving money and materials to veterans, but helping and encouraging those veterans to be self-reliant, hard work, and being fished by others, so I think it is better to create a column related to entrepreneurship on "Fellows".
Govin touched his cheek and said while thinking: "In addition to the entrepreneurship column, you can also publish some successful cases of veterans' entrepreneurship. Also, many veterans usually don't pay attention to the direction of policies, so we can publish some policies and regulations related to them and then interpret them...... By the way, we can even publish some knowledge about agriculture and animal husbandry......"
"Moreover, in addition to the legal income of the foundation itself, the source of funds of the foundation is more donations and donations from individuals, groups, enterprises and organizations, so the financial resources of the foundation must be transparent and open to the public. We can use "Fellows" to announce the donation of the foundation, so that everyone who donates to the foundation can clearly know the flow of their donations. ”
This was a momentary move for Gowen, thinking of some of the diseases of later generations, and he was giving vaccinations to the Veterans Foundation, and at the same time, it was also a model for various foundations in the future. You must know that at this time, China's Red Cross and Hope Project have not yet been established.
When people are accustomed to the model of the Veterans Foundation, if the foundation does not disclose the flow of its donations in the future, it will make everyone question and ask, do not underestimate the power of inertia, let alone the power of public opinion.
"Also, "Colleagues" should care about the living conditions of the veterans, go to collect style, and personally see how the veterans live, and whether they have difficulties ......"
"That's right, we can also ask veterans to tell their own stories, which is more authentic and resonates with readers than publishing some military novels!" Hearing Govin say this, Kitajima patted his thigh and interjected.
Then he exclaimed, "Hey...... Except for your "Soldier Assault", the current military novels are simply impossible to read, too rigid and dogmatic! ”
“……”
Kitajima stood up and picked up a few blank sheets of manuscript paper from Govyn's desk, then sat back on the couch, and while pulling out a pen to record a few of the comments that Govin had just mentioned, he urged Govin to continue.
"That's basically all I can think of, after getting in touch with Wei Jianguo, you can listen to his opinion, he is a veteran, or the head of the foundation, there must be some good ideas." Govin was crossed by the North Island, and his train of thought was broken.
"With all this content, I think "Tongpao" deserves to be the journal of the Foundation. As for what you said at the beginning about doing literary columns such as novels, poems, and essays in magazines, that's fine. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the proportions, it cannot be top-heavy, it is all literary content, and there is very little content related to the Foundation. In short, the layout must be reasonably arranged, otherwise readers will not say it, and they will not pass the review when they reach the Press and Publication Bureau. ”
"You can rest assured that as long as there is a poetry section, I didn't think about starting a pure literary magazine. Besides, there are so many excellent works for us to choose from now, and they all go to those well-known publications. When I started the poetry magazine "Today", there were not a lot of poems that were indiscriminate. Kitajima smiled wryly and agreed.
Asked Bei Dao: "Have you read the "Window of the World" magazine in Shenzhen? ”
"I've seen a few episodes."
"Actually, I don't think you need to be too clear, literature is just a kind of culture, the music you listen to, the books you read, and the clothes you wear are all a kind of culture. So there is no need to publish literature, as I just said, the readers of "Colleagues" are probably mostly veterans, they don't know much literature, you can be like "Window of the World", publish some domestic and foreign customs, anecdotes, you can introduce foreign knowledge and veterans and foundations to readers. ”
"That's a good idea, so I don't have to worry about running out of content to fill the page." Kitajima's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Now that you have a general idea, then "Fellow" will be handed over to you, and you must not live up to the expectations of the organization!" With that, Govin pulled his feet and walked out of the study.
"Hey, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to see how far the book club goes......" Gowen's voice came through the study door.
"Oh...... Ay...... Wrong! This magazine is not my own business, how can you leave it alone, Govyn! ”
Kitajima suddenly realized that Govin had abandoned himself and slipped away, so he quickly stood up and chased after him out of the study.
I can't do without the position of editor, because I like the kind of manuscript that can see everyone at the first time, although the cycle repeats, although I may see disgusting works, but the joy of discovering a masterpiece has always made him happy.
When the envelope containing the manuscript has not yet been opened, and when the contributor's manuscript has not yet been read, the feeling of great anticipation, the joy of encountering a wonderful work, is like a drug addiction, which is fascinating.
To use a passage he saw in a foreign book, it is-
Lifeislikeaboxofchocolates,youneverkonwwhatyou\'regoingtoget.
Life is like chocolate, you never know what you're going to get in the next second.
This kind of unknown expectation will always make people sink.
However, I just want to be an editor and prepare for something like magazine, and I'm weak!
"Govyn, don't you want to run!"
