Chapter 162: Book Launch
If Ye Luo is just a newcomer, then the three articles "Kong Yiji", "Diary of a Madman", and "The True Story of Ah Q" are estimated to have been banned a long time ago.
This is why Ye Luo's position in the literary world is quite stable now, and the previous Ye Tang series and Three Kingdoms series have laid a solid foundation for him and made him pay enough attention. Otherwise, this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" is estimated to not be able to leave the printing house.
Even so, with the support of the Ancient Literature Association, Ye Luo's name and status in the literary world, the relevant publicity of this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" was also ordered to stop by the Chinese Academy of Literature.
The people of the Ancient Literature Association are not afraid of things, but the leaders of the Academy of Literature can't stand it!
I don't know how many departments called Sun Deyou a day, and that feeling was really a little scary.
Of course, the affairs of the cultural world are under the control of Wen Zhen, but the problem is that in the eyes of many people, this is no longer just a matter of the literary world. Moreover, this is also thanks to the presence of Wen Zhen, otherwise you will never want to see this book.
It can be said that the Wenzhen Group, an official organization that overrides many departments, has indeed played a very positive role in many cases. After all, they only think about things in terms of cultural revitalization.
But in fact, now this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" does not need to continue to do any publicity, after all, even "Huaxia Daily", Weibo official, China Television have reported, and even "Huaxia Daily" and Weibo official have staged a left-right fight for this reason, and the attention is no longer limited to the literary world.
There may not be a single literary work that makes such a big move in a few years.
The Ye Tang series and the Three Kingdoms series that Ye Luo had not received so much attention before.
Now everyone is concerned about when will this "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" be released?
The Ancient Literature Association has released three articles, but there is no accurate release time!
Propaganda comes and goes, what do you promote? Is there such propaganda?
"Can it be done? The Ancient Literature Society is like this every time! ”
"Not every time, sometimes it's also released."
"I'm really convinced, this has to be placed in the film industry, it belongs to you to promote it for a long time, but there is no release date, so how do I know when to watch it!"
"I think the Ancient Literature Association is floating! Teacher Ye's book, you just promote it like this? Can you grow a snack? ”
Netizens left messages under the Ancient Literature Association one by one, urging them all kindly.
But the point is, it's not bad for them.
At first, they didn't announce the time, and that was because Ye Luo never handed them the final manuscript, and they couldn't print it. waited for Ye Luo to finally deliver the manuscript in the past few days, but there were a bunch of bad things.
At this time, the release of "The Biography of Lu Xun" is no longer something that their Ancient Literature Association can determine by itself.
At this moment, the small conference room of the Ancient Literature Association was full of people.
Not only the leaders of their Ancient Literature Association, but also the leaders of the New Literature Association, the Chinese Academy of Literature, and even representatives of the Japanese side came over!
Nothing else, they are all here to talk about the release of "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun"!
To be honest, as the presiding officer of this meeting, Chairman Li Wenzheng looked at so many people and his head was big.
The leaders of the Academy of Literature came to mix it up, after all, it was the superior unit of the Ancient Literature Association, which was also reasonable.
Even if it is Shao Xinzhong and Zhang Rumeng of the New Literature Association, he can reluctantly accept it, after all, it is from your modern literary circle, you can come and give some opinions.
But you Japanese people also came to join in the fun, so it seems a bit outrageous, right?
Teacher Ye's book is released, and you have a chicken feather relationship?
But I thought about it in my heart, but I couldn't say this when it came to my mouth, Li Wenzheng had already scolded the street in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, and said: "I didn't expect so many people to come today, and our Ancient Literature Association welcomes everyone's arrival." "Originally, they wanted to have a meeting today to discuss the time and specific process of the new book release, but they didn't know where these people got the news, so they all came uninvited.
"I didn't expect that Teacher Ye didn't come today." Shao Xinzhong tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "His new book release seminar, he is not here, let's study something." ”
Indeed, it doesn't matter if it's related or unrelated today, in short, too many people have come, but the author Ye Luo didn't come.
Li Wenzheng said: "Mr. Ye entrusted us with full authority. ”
"You can do everything for him?"
"Hmm."
Seeing Li Wenzheng nodding, Chairman Shao Xinzhong's heart suddenly turned cold.
He came today to discuss with Ye Luo the issue of publishing the book "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun".
Anyone can see that Ye Luo's "Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" will definitely become a milestone in the history of modern Chinese literature if nothing else!
Just look at the three articles released now, how many years has there been no such work in the Chinese literary world?
It is said that it is a milestone, or even if it is not good, it may become a monument in the history of literature!
That's a lot of sense!
As a result, the publishing house printed on this monument is his classical literature publishing house?
Isn't that funny?
This is not a matter of losing face, this is simply a shame for their New Literature Association! Even, this incident will affect the evaluation of their New Literature Association in later generations.
Shao Xinzhong and the others rushed over in a hurry, in order to have a good discussion on the matter of publishing and see if there was any room for maneuver. Not to mention letting the Ancient Literature Association give up the publishing rights, but at least give us a place to publish.
As a result, the leaves fall out of the ......
Who is this to talk to?
Ancient Literature Society? Li Wenzheng?
It's no wonder he agrees!
Shao Xinzhong, Zhang Rumeng, and others from the New Literature Association don't know what to say at this time.
Like them, I don't know what to say, and there are Japanese representatives like Minoru Akiyama, and they are Japanese, and it's outrageous to appear in this conference room!
The forum has long been over, and one by one they don't go home, so what are you waiting for'?
The only one who said that it was hot was Sun Deyou, the president of the Chinese Academy of Literature, and he and Li Wenzheng had a hot chat.
"When it comes to release, you have to find someone to figure it out. Let's not talk about feudal superstition, or we want to be auspicious. As for the launch ceremony on the day, I think it is very necessary to do it, and I suggest that you have to hold a press conference, and it should be more grand. Dean Sun Deyou talked about his ideas.
"Didn't the hospital say that it couldn't continue to be promoted? Is there such a big move in the release of the new book? Is this appropriate? I think I'll just announce it at a random time, and then readers will like to buy it or not. It's better not to buy it, let those people get their wish. Li Wenzheng said in a strange way, Chairman Li Wenzheng was angry about the fact that the Academy of Literature asked them to suspend the promotion of new books.
Originally, they planned to release at least five more works, but it came to an abrupt end when it came to "The True Story of Ah Q".
Dean Sun Deyou didn't seem to hear the thorn in Chairman Li's words, and continued with a smile: "It's definitely not okay to do this, Mr. Ye's book is of great significance, and at the same time, our Academy of Literature also needs a big scene to enhance its influence." A few days ago, the Academy of Fine Arts held a press conference for a calligraphy festival, and the response was very good, so let's take this opportunity to have a good time. ”
Dean Sun Deyou specially emphasized the three words "calligraphy festival". Sure enough, when he heard this word, Chairman Li Wenzheng was obviously embarrassed.
The Chinese Calligraphers Association, which used to be a subordinate association of their Chinese Academy of Literature, was originally known as the "Four Great Associations of the Academy of Literature" together with the "Chinese Writers Association", "Historical Association", and "Philosophy Association".
As a result, because their classical literature school and modern literature school fought every day, and in the end not only split the Writers' Association, but also tossed the Calligraphy Association.
At that time, it was because the people of the Ancient Literature Association always dragged people to scold the New Literature Association, and the bigwigs of the Calligraphy Association felt too annoyed, so they directly moved the association to the Academy of Fine Arts.
Since then, the Calligraphy Association has become part of the "China Academy of Art".
It can be said that the calligraphy association ran away from home, and the ancient literature association had to bear more than half of the historical responsibility.
Li Wenzheng did not continue to be yin and yang, but discussed with Dean Sun in a serious way.
It took more than two hours to determine the release time and the specific process of the day.
The time of the press conference was determined to be June 3rd, and there were still about ten days before today, and Dean Sun did not continue to insist on asking someone to calculate. As for the location, there is no doubt that it is the Great Hall of the Bunin. The process is also quite conventional, but the personnel who appear here feel a bit outrageous.
The Chinese Academy of Literature and the Ancient Literature Association naturally had to have someone attend, otherwise why would Sun Deyou be so active? Isn't it just to show their faces at the press conference and show off their Chinese Academy of Literature?
In addition to them, the New Literature Association also participates.
Li Wenzheng was speechless, but it was not easy to refuse, if this press conference really did not have their New Literature Association, it would really seem a bit nondescript.
Simply, Li Wenzheng mentioned to Akiyama Minoru again, do you want to participate?
Seriously, he didn't expect Minoru Akiyama to attend.
The identities of these people are not simple, and they can almost represent the entire Japanese literary circle.
If they had attended Ye Luo's book launch, the meaning would have been too different!
Even, it is even more important than the New Literature Association winning them at the Sino-Japanese Literature Forum!
Winning the opponent, it's not a big deal; But if you do it to get your opponents to recognize you, then that's the highest level.
And Ye Luo, it seems, did it.
Because Minoru Akiyama, an old man, actually agreed!
In fact, they came here today mainly to talk about the issue of copyright. Minoru Akiyama is not only interested in "The Biography of Lu Xun", but they are also extremely obsessed with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
They have all decided that as soon as they get the copyright, they will start translating.
You know, who are Minoru Akiyama, Rie Arita, and Fang Ao Shiratori?
They are all top writers in the Japanese literary world!
They personally translated foreign works, and if they were to return to Japan, they would have caused a huge sensation.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and all kinds of issues were basically discussed.
Seeing that the meeting was about to be dismissed, Shao Xinzhong finally couldn't help it and brought up the matter of publishing copyrights.
When Li Wenzheng heard it, he wanted to publish the copyright? Aren't you funny?
The publishing rights of Mr. Ye's books are simply a hen that lays golden eggs, and we will give it to you?
You're thinking about fart, aren't you?
Li Wenzheng didn't even think about it, and directly refused!
But Shao Xinzhong was also unrelenting and offered various conditions.
However, it didn't work.
The share given to Ye Luo by their Ancient Literature Association is basically the highest in the industry, so even if Shao Xinzhong goes to talk to Ye Luo in person, there is no chance.
However, Li Wenzheng finally came up with a solution. In fact, this plan was also discussed by them a long time ago, and they are all foxes for thousands of years, so they have already seen through this matter.
"The publishing rights will definitely not be divided among you."
This is the bottom line of their Ancient Literature Association, "However, we can co-publish it with you, and when the time comes, we will hang the name of your Modern Literature Publishing House." Li Wenzheng looked at Shao Xinzhong and said with a smile: "I know that what you lack is not these profits. ”
Indeed, what Li Wenzheng said is not bad at all.
Of course, if you can really share the publishing rights, it must be the best. But the problem now is that it's a bit of a fool's dream.
But thinking of the influence of this book in the industry, Shao Xinzhong could only agree to this plan.
"Of course, this name is not added for nothing, and you have to give the joint publication fee." Li Wenzheng said nonchalantly: "This money is not for us, it is for Teacher Ye." "This old man is not bad, and he knows how to pull a little into Ye Luo's pocket.
However, when he said this, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone looked at Li Wenzheng in amazement.
Did I hear me right?
Do you think it's an author's signature?
Signed by the publishing house, why does he have to pay for it?
Yes?
Everyone has been in the literary world for so many years, who hasn't been in contact with a publishing house?
But who has ever heard that a publishing house has to pay extra for a name?
Those Japanese people were stunned, the status of Chinese literati has reached this point?
Of course, this trick is also useful for modern literary publishing houses, because their publishing house is not only a publishing house, but also mixed with the influence of the New Literature Association in the entire literary world.
Readers look at it, good guys, books that can leave a name in the history of modern literature, and the result is published by the Classical Literature Publishing House......
Shao Xinzhong had already greeted Li Wenzheng's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and finally agreed to this seemingly absurd request.
Spend money on a co-publishing title...... Damn, Li Wenzheng, you turtle grandson remember for me, don't ask me for it in the future!
……
That day.
The Ancient Literature Association announced the publication time of "The Biography of Mr. Lu Xun" and the news that a new book launch conference will be held on June 3. In addition, the announcement also includes a list of people who attended the conference and a list of invited media.
At this moment, netizens can be regarded as lively.
Especially when I saw that there were Japanese representatives in the attendance list, the Internet was even more boiling.
Push books every day.
"My Strange Things Have Caused You Trouble" is reborn in Tokyo, a world full of strange stories and supernatural spirits, and a potentially powerful, sweet and cute cute girl accompanied by a resentful spirit.
