134 Ma Youwei asked for help

At 11:30 p.m., the workshop ended.

Yang Xiaosheng, president and executive editor of "Writer" magazine, vice president of Xia Guo Reportage Society, and famous writer, came to Chen Beiming and said: "Xiao Chen, our "Writer" plans to publish your reportage in November, do you have any opinions? ”

"I have no opinion, it is my honor to publish an article in "Writer", thank you Mr. Yang."

Yang Xiaosheng patted Chen Beiming and smiled: "If you have any good works in the future, remember to submit them to me." ”

"Definitely."

After greeting these seniors and leaders, Chen Beiming was stopped by Chang Lianna, a reporter from the Capital Daily.

"Mr. Chen, would you please accept our interview?" Chang Lianna said with a smile.

"It's an honor." Chen Beiming smiled at the camera.

Chang Lianna is a reporter for the cultural section of the Capital Daily, and it will be beneficial to have a good relationship with her.

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Chen, congratulations on the success of your work "Heroes in Three Companies", and at the same time, you have successfully joined the Xia Guo Writers Association."

"Thank you." Chen Bei Ming Dao.

Chang Lianna asked: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, your work "Bright Sword" on "October" has been published, so does Mr. Chen have any other creative plans besides creating works like "Three Heroes in a Row"? ”

"Yes." Chen Beiming replied.

His next task is to publish "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he has already written tens of thousands of words in the past few days. It's just a chance, and he's not quite sure where he's going to get this published.

"Mr. Chen, can you tell us about your next work?"

"Yes." Chen Beiming nodded, and then gave a brief explanation of some relevant situations of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Chang Lianna couldn't help but be stunned: "Mr. Chen, the work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should be a popular one, but as far as I know, in the current popular market, historical romance doesn't seem to be very popular, Mr. Chen won't know this, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Then Mr. Chen is not worried that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will not be accepted by readers?" Chang Lianna handed over the microphone, but soon she took back the microphone and asked: "Mr. Chen, your "Bright Sword" has set a monthly sales volume of more than 5 million, aren't you worried that the work you just said will not be recognized by the market and the sales will be frustrated?" ”

"I believe in a word, if it is gold, it will shine. Sooner or later, readers will know how good my work is. Chen Beiming replied with a smile.

Chang Lianna's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, listen to what you just meant, it's that you don't have much confidence in the sales of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?" That's why you say that sooner or later readers will know the excellence of your work? ”

Chen Beiming smiled: "No, I am very confident. ”

Chang Lianna wanted to ask again, but Qiu Yujie on the other side had already come over to call him: "Xiao Chen, come over first, it's time to go through the membership procedures." ”

"I'm sorry." Chen Beiming said hello to Chang Lianna, and then followed Qiu Yujie into an office.

At noon, the writers and leaders who participated in the creation workshop went to a hotel for dinner.

After eating, Qiu Yujie and Chen Beiming took a car back to the General Political Department together.

On the way, Qiu Yujie turned her head and asked Chen Beiming: "You seem to have told the reporter just now that you are already creating a new work?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Beiming nodded.

"What is the specific type, let's hear it, I also know it."

Qiu Yujie is now the acting director of the creation department, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes the director, so she doesn't care as much about Chen Beiming only shining in literature as she used to, anyway, whether it is literature or music, it is her person and her achievements.

Chen Beiming then introduced: "The next thing I want to write is a historical military film, called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

"Three Kingdoms? Is it about the history of the last years of the Han Dynasty? Qiu Yujie was stunned.

"Hmm." Chen Beiming nodded.

Qiu Yujie pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Chen Beiming: "Xiao Chen, let me give you some advice!" ”

"Director, you say."

"Xiao Chen, I think so, you became popular last time because of "Bright Sword", right, so I think you should write a similar theme next, or at least a more popular theme, such as urban emotion, military, anti-Japanese war, really not good, martial arts, romance, these are okay, but military history ...... To be honest, I don't think readers will necessarily like it, and now is the time when you need to consolidate and increase your popularity again, if you want to write a military history at this time, I think your popularity and influence will only fall sharply, which is not good for your development! ”

Qiu Yujie expressed her worries and analysis in a rare serious tone.

Chen Beiming listened, so he had to nod against his will: "Director, I know, I will think about it again." ”

Qiu Yujie nodded and stopped talking.

She felt that she had made it clear enough, and Chen Beiming's brain was smart enough, so he would definitely have a correct judgment on what to do and how to choose next.

She would never have thought that Chen Beiming would not only insist on writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also make every effort to promote it, because this is the task.

However, although Chen Beiming has written tens of thousands of words, he doesn't know where to publish this.

"The Writer"?

Maybe it's not appropriate, people have just serialized a reportage of "Three Heroes in a Row", how can it be possible to publish him again?

Moreover, "The Writer" did not publish such popular precedents as military history, and they were basically contemporary works!

"October"?

It's not suitable either!

His "Bright Sword" has just been published, and the works of other writers will be published in the next period of time.

Moreover, "October" doesn't seem to publish "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the like!

Apart from these, what other magazines are suitable?

"I heard that a new magazine has come out in the last few days, it seems to be called "Southern Literature", why don't you try it there?" Chen Beiming thought secretly.

Unexpectedly, at around nine o'clock in the evening of this day, Ma Youwei, editor-in-chief of October magazine, suddenly called him and said in a very anxious tone: "Xiaoshan, where are you now?" ”

Chen Beiming was a little strange, but still replied: "In the dormitory of the General Political Department, Mr. Ma, do you need my help with anything?" ”

Ma Youwei immediately said: "Xiaoshan, that's the case, our magazine originally decided to launch another writer this month, but now there has been a change, that writer, and several other writers who often work with us have been poached by "Southern Literature", in other words, the manuscript that the writer originally promised to deliver to us is suddenly gone, and our magazine is about to be published, we asked several other writers, but none of them are suitable, so I want to ask you, Xiaoshan, do you have any good works here?" ”

"Yes, about 30,000 words."

"Xiaoshan, then you wait for me, I'll come over now."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a snap, and Ma Youwei hung up the phone.
