In the spring of 1993, I took a group photo with Wenyou
I am a veteran author of Plugged In Literature and Art, and I published several small articles in the journal when I was in middle school. The editor-in-chief, Liang Zhong, is a middle-aged man with strong energy and strong communication skills. My article, for his appetite, has been appreciated by him many times.
In early 1993, when my Datong office was facing restructuring, I began to think about my next steps.
At the time, I was in charge of the unit's gas tickets. Once, Mr. Liang Zhong rode a "Chongqing 80" motorcycle to my office, and I had the courage to take advantage of the convenience in my hand to secretly open a fifty-liter gasoline ticket for him. As a result, my relationship with Mr. Liang Zhong was further deepened.
One day, Mr. Liang Zhong called and asked me to write two character reports in the name of the reporter of "Plugged In Literature and Art", one was the local singer Guang Jun, and the other was Gui Lan, an announcer of the regional television station. I gladly accepted the assignment and successfully completed the writing task. Obviously, Liang Zhong's editor-in-chief was very satisfied with my work, and the two articles were quickly arranged for publication.
On June 19, Liang Zhong's editor-in-chief called again and asked me to accompany him to interview the first beauty contest in Datong City.
All right! Interviewing Miss Pageant, it was a good job to feast my eyes on, and I gladly accepted it.
At that time, "Miss" was an honorific title, and it had not been stigmatized.
On that day, I will have a big unkempt back and blow the wind to set the shape. He wore a shirt and military pants issued by the troops, and pulled a tie around his neck like a dog. Look in the mirror, hey! I feel pretty handsome.
In the dressing room behind the stage, the beautiful ladies gathered, and I entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu - I saw the flowers. The interview went very smoothly, and the organizers managed a good meal for us at noon.
I interviewed the inaugural pageant winner of Datong
Shortly after this interview, I left the office, and the director sent a driver to drive a Mitsubishi off-road vehicle to help me pull my luggage and bookcase and send it to the editorial office of "Stuffed Literature and Art" to work. The monthly salary given to me by the editor-in-chief Liang was 200 yuan, saying that he would pay some manuscript fees according to the workload, but he never paid it later, but at the end of the year, the salary was raised to 300 yuan.
There were only two people in the editorial department, one was The Editor-in-Chief Liang and the other was me. When printing business cards, Liang Editor-in-Chief said, Xiao Xie you printed as "Editorial Director", it is convenient to go out for interviews.
I said this is not true! Besides, I have never been an official, although I have been the station chief of the military mine reporter station of "Shanxi Coal News" for a few days, this is not, leaving the military mine, the station chief's black hat was also taken off naturally.
Editor-in-chief Liang said that the business card is a clear deception, why do you care?
I think, yes, anyway, there is no whole "Chairman of Shenzhou Co., Ltd.", "General Manager of Huaxia Infinite Group", "Editor-in-Chief of Galaxy Literature Journal", it is good to scare people.
That's it, I didn't pay attention! I wore a black gauze hat.
The editorial office rented a basement of the Second Light Bureau in Yanbei District, which was black and rumbling, and had to turn on the lights during the day.
At that time, young people who loved literature pulled one by one, and the editorial department had a bunch of manuscripts almost every day. I asked editor-in-chief Liang for red ink and brushes, began to read the manuscript in a very serious manner, and wrote back to many authors.
Here I met a large number of literary enthusiasts, and my former literary friends also heard the news and came to the gathering. They knew I was poor and often came with some wine and meat.
Once, Wenyou wanted to buy a box of canned food and beer with his own 50 yuan manuscript fee, and Jianchen, Tiansheng, Jiang Tao, Guo Zhong, Cao Baochun and other literary friends drank with me until midnight. Everyone drank and talked about literature, and even fought for a certain problem.
The first article I wrote when I came to "Stuffed Literature and Art" for dinner was the so-called "documentary literature" of 10,000 words, "Miss Datong Beauty Pageant.". The cover is a swimsuit photo of Miss Gold Crown.
I wrote a 10,000-word documentary report
After pulling back the publication from the printing plant, Editor-in-Chief Liang and I met up with several columnists, brandishing banners and broadcasting disco in Hongqi Square, and engaged in live book sales activities.
I stood in a chair, holding a publication in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other, and I was selling it now:
——There are good girls in Datong City, and there are good articles in "Plugged in Literature and Art"!
-- Come and see, although material civilization is good, spiritual food cannot be less!
——Datong beauty is like a cloud, who is the beauty contest to spend? For more information, see Plugged in Literature.
- Big news, big news! Hun Yuan was the corpse of a female murderer, and the victim was his grandmother... To know the details, this issue of "Plugged in Literature and Art" will reveal the inside story for you...
Columnist Li Tianliang, far less than my mouth slippery, thick he Shuoxian flavor of Mandarin, squirming thick lips, just repeating a sentence: Hey! It doesn't matter whether you buy or not, the key is support and understanding. ”
Editor-in-chief Liang couldn't laugh when he heard it: How to support and how to understand it? You look at people's little solutions, learn a little!
You said that in the morning of the crowded Hongqi Square, we actually sold two or three hundred periodicals and received five or six hundred yuan.
At noon, Liang set up a banquet in a small restaurant to reward the three armies. Everyone is happy, our publications can sell hundreds of copies in the morning, indicating that there is a market, readers like ah.
Later, The editor-in-chief Liang also instructed me to hold a stack of publications and try it at the train station. I wandered around the waiting hall and the square in front of the station, shouting along the way, and sold more than a dozen copies in less than half an hour. It's just that there are always "big brimmed hats" who look at me with wary eyes, which makes us very uncomfortable.
Later, The editor-in-chief Liang said that it was foremost for the purpose of publicizing publications and achieving the goal. So, I handed over the rest of the publication to the newsstand for sale, and then the editor-in-chief Liang rode a motorcycle to take me to "victory" and returned.
At that time, I thought, this society can't starve me, big deal, I will become a book and newspaper dealer!
