Chapter 271: Those things in the Ming Dynasty are on fire
On the third day, the Central People's Radio broadcast the interview program with the creators of "The Rise of a Great Power" that Govan participated in recording.
Prior to this issue, a discussion with Zheng Yuanxu, editor of Reader, and Tu Changshen, editor-in-chief of Reading, had been broadcast.
After this issue, the central appointed radio station will also broadcast the bits and pieces of the announcers during the recording of "The Rise of a Great Power", as well as Mr. He Jingzhi's evaluation of "The Rise of a Great Power", and the final Gao Yu Dynasty will be the views of some experts and scholars on "The Rise of a Great Power" and the imagination of China's rise.
As everyone expected, as soon as the story in front of and behind the scenes about "The Rise of a Great Power" was broadcast, it attracted countless listeners.
The broadcast of "The Rise of a Great Power" broadcast in October itself caused a huge response, and there are still listeners chatting about it, and the "Rise of a Great Power" book on the market has still maintained a high sales volume until now, so this set of retrospectives about the ins and outs of "The Rise of a Great Power" has aroused a lot of resonance among listeners.
Just when the topic of the rise of great powers was in the dust, another thing happened that made people laugh and cry.
In the letters sent to the Central People's Radio and the hotline calls to the Central People's Radio, a considerable number of listeners were asking the Central People's Radio about "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that Govin recited in the program, and the discussion of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" among the people gradually increased.
Many people began to go to bookstores to ask if there was a book called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and when they saw the salesman shaking his head, they either left disappointed, or bought a random history book about the Ming Dynasty.
When Xinhua Bookstore counted the sales of books for a week over the weekend, it was shocked to find that the historical books that had been selling poorly had a breakthrough sales compared with before, and even the ancient book prints that no one cared about at the bottom of the box had sold a lot.
As for the people from all walks of life who had appeared in the courtyard, they began to appear frequently in the courtyard these days, and when they saw Govin closed in the study, they asked other people in the courtyard about this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that appeared on the radio.
People such as Ning Suxin, Gu Cheng, Zha Haisheng, Li Xingmin, and others who have read Gowen's manuscript suddenly became a fragrant nest and became the focus of the crowd. Everyone wanted to know from them what "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was written, and why Gowen's recitation on the radio was so humorous and witty.
And Ba Lao, who was far away in Shanghai, also called Gowen. The old man learned from the editor of the "Harvest" magazine that Govin was writing a book called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and then he was very relieved and specially called Govyn to encourage him to calm down, polish his works carefully, and not try to be fast.
On the phone, Ba Lao said to Govin with a hint of relief: "I've been waiting for your new work for a long time. I have always believed that you are the most talented of the younger generation of writers, and that you are as diligent as anyone else......"
The old man said with emotion: "Before this, although you have written so many works, there is not a single Yan Sù novel, which is abnormal. Originally, I thought you were worried that Yan Sù's novel would break the myth of the sales of your published books, but now it seems that I am thinking too much...... I'm looking forward to this historical work of yours now, and I don't know how it will make me feel! ”
Ba Lao's words made Gowen ashamed for a while, and he stopped talking for a long time, but he still said stubbornly: "Ba Lao...... This one...... The work I'm working on now isn't a Yan sù novel, it's not even a novel...... In fact, this book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a popular science book about the history of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Worried that Ba Lao would be angry, as soon as Gowen finished speaking, he quickly explained: "That's the case, I've always had some doubts about the feelings of many people in our country......"
Gewen explained to Ba Lao what he observed about the inferiority complex and confusion hidden in Chinese heart now, and then said that the reason why he wanted to write a history book about the Ming Dynasty was actually to let the Chinese people review the glorious imprint of Chinese history, so that everyone could be more rational and more calm when encountering certain things.
"Huh...... That's a great idea! Ba Lao quietly listened to what Govin finished speaking, and then nodded approvingly. Although the two were separated by phone, the distance was even more 108,000 miles, and Govin could not see it at all.
"Hehe, I thought you finally had your head open this time, and finally understood the importance of novels to a writer. Who knew that such an oolong would be made...... Haha......"
After laughing at himself, Ba Jin said to Govin earnestly: "But, Govern, you have been engaged in writing for so long, you should understand this truth—only novels can best represent a writer's creative ability and literary level!" You have seen that some young writers in the current literary world have won unanimous praise for their novels and Yan sù literature, such as Zhan Rong's "People Reach Middle Age", Zhang Jie's "Heavy Wings", Feng Jicai's "Ah", Zong Pu's "Three Life Stones", Jiang Zilong's "Pioneer", ...... It's all like that! ”
"Ba Lao, don't worry, after the writing of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I immediately began to think about the creation of a novel, and I will not let you down!" Gowen hurriedly promised Ba Lao.
"Huh? You don't think this way, how can you create so casually! Whether it's poetry, prose, or novels, the most important thing is to have feelings and thoughts! If you just want to prove yourself, then you should calm down, think carefully, think carefully, and don't rush to write! When Ba Lao heard Govine's words, he was not only not happy, but became a little worried.
"Ba Lao, I was wrong. I'll think about it before I start writing, don't worry. During the days when I took care of you in Shanghai, I never forgot your teachings to me! ......" Gowen's heart was a little moved.
This is Barkin!
This is the giant who lifted the entire Chinese literary scene forward in his twilight years!
In Shanghai, I personally took care of Ba Lao, and I realized how great the old man was.
How many times did Ba Jin write to young writers with trembling hands after reading their works, just to tell those young writers that their works had been read for themselves. He has never hesitated to encourage and understand young people.
How many times, after knowing the difficult situation of some young writers, Ba Jin has gone out of his way to relieve their worries. When Wang Meng, Lu Wenfu and others were in a difficult situation because of some shortcomings and were criticized by critics because of some shortcomings, he defended them: "Shortcomings are sometimes unavoidable, and they can be criticized, but they cannot be beaten with sticks." ”
How many times, after creating an article by himself, the old man took reading glasses, held a pen, and helped himself check the article one by one, and the old man's analysis of the article put forward his personal opinions, which benefited him a lot.
Ba Lao's encouragement and support for young writers is something that he, a writer of the younger generation, must keep in mind.
You must create a true long-form classic!
Otherwise, I can't face the old man anymore!
……
……
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" suddenly and quietly rose, and people talked about it one after another, and the happiest of them should be Long Shao.
Observing the current situation, Long Shao was proud of his decision.
At the beginning, he insisted on raising the royalties of Govin again, even though he knew that the subject matter of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was the least best-selling historical book.
Long Shao believed in his own eyesight, and he also believed in Govyn's ability.
Now, although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has only completed Zhu Yuanzhang's volume, this sudden discussion has made Long Shao, an outstanding talent in the Chinese publishing industry, sensitively aware that the People's Publishing House may immediately launch this project, and take advantage of this shareholder wind to ignite the raging fire of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" book publishing.
However, the east wind in front of me seems to be a little smaller!
Inspired by the fact that the broadcast of "The Rise of a Great Power" by the Central People's Radio drove the sales of the book, Long Shao tried to restart this propaganda model.
On the one hand, he applied to the People's Publishing House to publish the first volume of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", but on the other hand, he contacted Xu Hao with a cheeky face.
Gowen caused such a big uproar just by saying "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" on the radio, if the Central People's Radio produced "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" like "The Rise of a Great Power", what would be the result?
Will it be like "The Rise of a Great Power" and cause a huge sensation again? Detonate book sales at the same time?
Long Shao is optimistic.
As a result, Ge Wen, who had been in retreat, had to entertain Long Shao and Xu Hao's joint visit again in his study.
When he heard the plan of the two, Govin had to admire the two people in front of him.
Perhaps limited by vision, people in this era do not have the breakthrough thinking and innovative consciousness of later generations.
But this is only because everyone has never been in contact with it, as long as they have seen, heard, and spoken, these people will draw inferences from each other and bypass the analogy.
Talent is always talent, not affected by the times and history!
From a certain point of view, the reason why I was able to thrive in this era is that in addition to my willingness to study hard, the most important thing is that I have decades of experience and experience more than them.
It's like Albert Einstein's maxim that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, but that 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% perspiration.
It's just that the plan of the two has one of the most fatal flaws!
Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, Govin asked, "Have you considered the factor of time?" Do you think I can write at the speed of radio? What if the second volume of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has not been finished by the end of Zhu Yuanzhang's volume broadcast? ”
Hearing Gowen's questioning, Long Shao and Xu Hao were immediately deflated.
Long Shao is good to say that the publication of volume by volume is a normal phenomenon.
But for Xu Hao, if it's just a volume of broadcasting, then there will be a problem.
The cost of producing a radio drama is actually not a lot, personnel, equipment, venues, and funds......
If "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is only one volume, it will be counted, and it will be finished after the production is completed. But according to what Gowen said, this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has to write the entire history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years.
You can't make a radio program every time Gowen finishes writing a volume, how can you count the pause in between?
The waste of resources caused by this kind of behavior is not to mention that the leaders of the Central People's Radio Station cannot accept it, and even Xu Hao will not agree to it.
"Is there no way?" Xu Hao shook his head.
To be honest, Long Shao's construction did make him very excited.
After reading the original manuscript of Zhu Yuanzhang's volume of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" from Long Shao, Xu Hao knew that this was definitely an excellent program comparable to the rise of a great power.
"It's not that there are no trick......s," Long Shao touched his chin and said slowly.
Speaking of being in a hurry, Long Shao was the most anxious, after all, almost all of this plan came from him.
"What do you mean?" Xu Hao's eyes lit up.
"Just now Govin said that he finished it in time for the broadcast of the radio, but ...... What if you can catch up? Long Shao looked at Govin with a smile.
“……”
Looking at the unkind eyes of the two, Ge Wen laughed angrily: "Uncle, you don't want to exhaust me!" ”
"Govin, let me ask you, yesterday you said that the second volume of "Zhu Yunwen" will be completed in the next two days, is it true?" Long Shao asked seriously.
"That's right, it should be today." Govyn nodded.
"At your pace, you can finish a volume in about a week." Long Shao said confidently.
He turned his head to look at Xu Hao: "Old Xu, how long does it take for you to make a show over there?" ”
"Hmm...... Our station has very strict requirements for the production of the program, generally it takes about a week just to prepare, and then if you record it, it should be faster, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" Zhu Yuanzhang volume...... It should be around three to four days. Speaking of his major, Xu Hao suddenly changed to a different person, and his face was full of confidence.
"That's right! Let's do the math, even if Lao Xu starts to make zuò here, it will take 11 days to record the first volume, and another 4 days to record the second volume. By the time these 15 days have passed, Govin should have completed 2 more volumes. That's another 8 days, and that's enough time for Govin to write a volume. In this way, you can record at least 5 reels of radio programs! ”
Long Shao counted with his fingers and asked Gewen: "Gewen, how many volumes of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" do you plan to write?" You can't keep writing it, can you? ”
"I had estimated that I would write about six volumes." Govin replied.
In the previous life, Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" had a total of seven volumes, but Gewen didn't intend to be the same as him, for Gewen, he wrote more about writing more about the glorious imprint in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the word count of the two will not be too close.
"Isn't that right? As long as Govin writes a little faster, and Lao Xu slows down the pace a little, won't everyone cooperate! Long Shao clapped his hands and made a decision for Ge Wen and Xu Hao.
"Damn, let's talk about it, it's up to you!" Govyn rolled his eyes.
"Old Dragon, why do I feel that your skin is getting thicker and thicker?" Xu Hao was also a little angry.
