Kitajima's grief made Govin want to laugh inexplicably.

Someone would love editing this post!

Govin worked as an editor at Harvest magazine, although not for long.

But to put it bluntly, the work of an editor is really not done by people, at least Govin does not think that the job of an editor is very enjoyable.

What makes a good editor?

Li Yu of "Harvest" has taught Gowen some knowledge, and he has pondered some ideas himself.

In Govyn's understanding, an editor can't have the mentality of blindly obeying authority, you can't obey orders just because the contributor is a famous master, respect and blind obedience are always two different things, and they should not be confused. At the same time, editors must not have a contemptuous mentality, and contempt for anonymous authors, consciously or unconsciously, and with a critical and demanding mentality, is simply not what a qualified editor does.

And one of the things that pains Govin the most as an editor is-

Every time he encountered a very outstanding manuscript, he had to suppress the enthusiasm in his heart, forcibly sink down to analyze the manuscript with a rational mentality, and constantly complain, question, and inquire about the loopholes in the work, as if he had a grudge against the author.

This uncomfortable and unfree way of reading is like urinating for a long time, and you want to spill it out freely after unbuttoning your pants, but no, you have constipation, you can only pee a little, hold it, pee a little, hold it back, make people extremely crazy.

Editors are also human beings, and editors, like ordinary readers, will involuntarily have a sneak peek when they see a favorite manuscript. When faced with a vivid and fascinating manuscript, editors will also be attracted by the profound thoughts, rigorous logic, bizarre plot, overflowing passion, and brilliant writing in the manuscript, and their thoughts will flow with the manuscript, and they can't wait to read the manuscript in one sitting.

But no, you are an editor, you can't read the manuscript from the perspective of an ordinary reader, and the color of appreciation is too strong, which will only hinder your rational criticism and hinder the realization of the editorial function.

So at the beginning, when Gao Lin said that "Harvest" magazine was going to dismiss Gowen, Gowen breathed a long sigh of relief. On the one hand, it is true that being an editor will affect one's creative time, and on the other hand, it is not necessary to escape the tedious work of editing.

And Beidao actually said that he would go crazy and couldn't survive because he couldn't be an editor, this kind of mentality Gowen really couldn't understand.

At this time, Kitajima muttered again: "Editing a journal is a kind of labor that repeats itself, reading manuscripts, writing manuscripts, and always working there, although it is very tedious, but it is also very fun, for those of us, it should be called a lot of fun......

Well, defeated by him.

Govin interjected and asked, "Since the Foreign Languages Bureau wants to dismiss you, you can transfer the relationship to another unit!" Wouldn't it be enough to find a magazine? ”

Kitajima smiled bitterly: "Do you think I haven't tried?" Do you think that the units will now accept people like me who have a name in the Ministry of Culture? ”

Govin was dumbfounded.

Also, although at this time China has begun to set off a frenzied wave of going to the sea, even government officials can open companies, but the supervision of the ideological field is still the focus of the state.

Reform and opening up was originally a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

But even if you let you cross the river, you can't spread your mouth to give people freedom!

It is necessary to observe public opinion at any time, pay attention to the situation, and then carefully pace when striding forward, and keep retreating at any time when necessary.

"If you can't do it in the public sector, then go to the private ...... Uh......"

Govin came up with an idea, but before he could finish speaking, he stopped on his own,

This suggestion of his is nonsense.

In this era, there is no such thing as a private magazine, and even if there is, it must be affiliated with the public sector.

Not to mention now, even before Govin crossed, the state did not open up individual or private structures to apply for publication licenses.

You must know that before Govern's crossing, the Internet was already in the ascendant in China at that time, and there was no content, no thoughts, and no consciousness on the Internet. However, the state still firmly guards the distribution of publications, so that many magazines issued by individuals can only be black. Even Han Han, who was famous in later generations, had to adopt a roundabout way if he wanted to publish his own magazine-he had to use a book number instead of a book number, using a book number for each issue of the magazine, and looking for a new book number if he wanted to issue the next issue. Strictly speaking, such an act has violated the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Periodical Publications.

Magazines, also known as periodicals, refer to serial publications with a fixed name, numbered in volume, issue, year, quarter, and month order, and published in a certain period. According to China's "Regulations on the Administration of Periodical Publishing", periodicals are published by periodical publishing units established in accordance with the law. Periodical publishers must be approved by the General Administration of Press and Publication to publish periodicals, and only periodicals that meet the conditions of the General Administration are now accepted for periodicals run by the competent and sponsoring units, and individual applications for running periodicals are not accepted at all.

Govin stopped his unreliable suggestion, and silence fell in the study.

After a long time, Kitajima finally woke up from his self-pity, he looked up at Gowen, with a wry smile, and said, "Gowen, you don't want to do my business. In the previous stage, many poets in Beijing went south to Shenzhen, and I heard that the economy is now vigorously developing there, and the ideological and cultural fields are relatively much more open...... I really can't do it, I'll go over there too! ”

Govin nodded a little heavily, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

What Beidao said, Gowen also knew before, and some of the poets who went south had frequented the courtyard.

And what kind of poets who went south would become, Govin knew quite well in his heart.

After seeing the prosperity of Shenzhen and the power of money, I am afraid that few people will still stick to poverty and their dreams, not to mention that Shenzhen is now full of opportunities to make a fortune, and no one can be indifferent in the face of wealth.

The frenzy of the times is rolling forward according to its great inertia, and it is not easy for Govin to be a quixote mantis arm driver.

It would be nice if the state could liberalize the permission for publications!

Govin sighed inwardly.

In later generations, the state has opened up the license for individual (private) filmmaking and individual performance companies (troupes), which have greatly prospered the country's cultural undertakings and enriched the cultural life of the common people. However, the state has never loosened much of its grip on individual publications, and this has to be said to be a pity.

In the West, periodicals and magazines are liberalized, and individuals can run their own publications as long as they meet the requirements. In those relatively developed countries, where there are no individual publications, perhaps these publications are in a difficult situation, even if they are poor, but as long as they can be published, as long as they are not vulgar or reactionary, they can revitalize the cultural undertakings of that country.

Govin once said in "The Rise of a Great Power" that if a great country wants to rise, in addition to material abundance, it also needs spiritual improvement, and the spirit here refers to a country's cultural undertakings.

If China liberalizes the permission for individuals to run periodicals, it will definitely be able to prosper the country's literary and artistic creation and enrich the cultural life of the common people. If you are worried about the tendency of personal publications to cause ideological differences, then you can only strengthen the review, why bother with a one-size-fits-all approach, and not even give everyone a chance.

In fact, a large part of the periodicals run by the government or public units are indiscriminately filling the numbers, and they cannot satisfy the majority of readers at all, and with the passage of time, many magazines have to be closed in the end. And those more famous periodicals either have a clear line, or there are a group of leaders or editors in the magazine who love their careers, or even worse, they are simply private publishing houses with public units.

When it comes to thinking about being lively, only those individuals who have contracted the magazine will seek benefits under great economic pressure and truly regard readers as God.

By the way, since individuals are not allowed to make magazines, you can find some units to be affiliated with!

A thought suddenly flashed through Gowen's mind, and his heart suddenly lit up.

China has now reformed and opened up, and many originally sluggish publications have long been contracted by individuals, although the collection and editing are still restricted by public units, but with the reader's urgency, thinking about what the readers think, not only let the magazine that was about to close to life come back to life, but also fought a beautiful economic turnaround, grabbed the first pot of gold.

Since people can, the North Island may not be impossible!

Govin hurriedly shared his thoughts with Kitajima.

"Do you think I can find a unit to attach or contract with?"

Kitajima pointed to his nose with a smile and a smile.

"Not to mention that I don't have so much energy to find a unit to be affiliated with, but if I am listed in the Ministry of Culture in a single round, which unit dares to let me be affiliated? Contracted? It's hard for me to even make a living, and how can I afford to contract a magazine! ”

"Hey, it's okay if you don't have money, I'm rich! As long as you can pull up a group of people, I'll figure out the rest......" Govin waved his hand, heroically taking the difficult task onto himself.

"Manpower is not a problem, you also know that I once founded the poetry magazine "Today", and the editorial resources are okay, but ...... It costs a lot of money to run a regular magazine, and I'm worried that if I can't do it, I'll lose a lot of money! Although Kitajima was somewhat moved by Gowen's words, he still had some doubts.

"Haha...... It's not like you're not unaware of my creative abilities. Not to mention anything else, the royalties of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" alone are enough for you. ”

Looking at Beidao, who was encouraged by himself, and looking at Beidao, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Govin's heart was very proud.

He has been in Beijing for so long, and he has come into contact with countless poets, but most of the poets can only be regarded as poetry lovers, purely in terms of works and quantity, there are not too many poets in the whole Beijing city who can be recognized by Gewen, among which Beidao, Gu Cheng, Shu Ting, Index Finger, Haizi, Meng Ke, Jiang He, Duoduo and other poets are the most outstanding.

If Beidao really goes south one day, even if he ends up becoming a billionaire?

It may be a good thing for Beidao personally, but it is a great loss for Govin and for China.

A good poet is worth far more than a billionaire in Gowen's eyes.

In exchange for a poet who is excellent now and may be more outstanding in the future, and a poet who may become a leading figure in the Chinese poetry circle, Gewen thinks it is too worthwhile.

In later generations, the Chinese poetry circle could not be described as a lack of green and yellow at all, it was simply a broken generation.

The older generation of Ai Qing, He Jingzhi, and Zang Kejia ...... Waiting for the death of the old gentleman, a new generation of index finger, Haizi, Gu Cheng, Beidao, Shu Ting, and Meng Ke...... The disappearance or death of Chinese poetry has made Chinese poetry die!

China has been a big country of poetry since ancient times, but in the 21st century, there is no poetry, what a kind of ridicule!

Man is to dwell poetically on the earth!

After many years, the students can only recite the old rhythmic poems, and only use the "pear blossom style" to express their feelings.

Something as pure as poetry should not be slowly consumed by money and finally disappear into history!

We want to leave the last habitat for Chinese poetry!

Govyn got up from the couch, then walked over to his desk and picked up the phone and dialed out.

He wanted to call Tu Changshen of Shanghai's "Reading" magazine and ask him how to start a magazine and what kind of unit he needed to rely on.

Tu Changshen said on the other side of the phone, and Ge Wen recorded it here, and soon figured out what conditions were needed to establish a journal that could be publicly distributed in China.

If you want to start a journal, you must first submit a feasibility report to the Press and Publication Bureau, and then attach the purpose of running the journal, the editorial policy, the scope of expertise, the members of the editorial department, the certificate of fixed funds for running the journal, the certificate of the fixed place, and the application for running the journal...... The most important thing is to have qualified organizers and higher-level authorities.

Only when all the materials have passed the inspection of the Press and Publication Bureau will a journal number be obtained.

Having an issue number does not mean that you can compile the magazine casually, and each issue of the magazine must be submitted to the Press and Publication Bureau and other relevant units for the purpose of checking whether the articles of the magazine violate state regulations. Then every year, they have to participate in the annual inspection of periodicals by the Press and Publication Bureau.

In this process, as long as there is any violation of the regulations, the Press and Publication Bureau will order the periodical to suspend publication for rectification, and in serious cases, it will be directly sealed.

First of all, private units cannot, and then enterprise units cannot, the only choice can only be public institutions, but even public institutions are also restrictive.

After hanging up the phone, Govin found that the only way to get through was to be affiliated with the Science Fiction Literature Committee or the Veterans Veterans Foundation, two societies and foundations with national prefixes.

His previous idea of wanting to be affiliated with the "Reading" magazine or the People's Publishing House was not valid at all, no matter how many people he knew, such a thing would not be possible, otherwise where would the seriousness and discipline of the organization be? (To be continued.) )
