Chapter 678: Brick machine

The 1980s can be said to be the best time for writers and poets. Unlike the previous years that would be criticized for high manuscripts, or because of the rising price, which caused life embarrassment, now relatively high manuscript fees and relatively low prices can be Let them live a more comfortable life in China.
At the same time, due to the restoration of the college entrance examination, it has driven people's respect for knowledge and yearning for reading, so that writers and poets can enjoy a high social status. No matter where they go, they will be aspired by a large number of literary youths. At this time, as long as Shen Long is willing to He, like Gao Xiaosong, can go to any university in the country with his own name and works.
When you arrive at the university, you do n’t have to find a place for yourself. Some students are willing to take him in their dormitory. Some female students are willing to eat, drink, and even agree with each other. Exaggeratedly, as long as he has this idea, he and Gu Cheng It is not impossible to accept the goodwill of multiple women at the same time.
In the future, there may be many netizens who look at the biographies or interviews of Lu Yao, Haizi and others, and feel that these people have a very difficult life, and feel that these writers and poets are poor one by one.
This is not the case. These writers and poets are poor. Haizi will not say that his tragedy is more of a character. In fact, many of the tragedies of poets and writers are derived from character.
Luyao online rumored that he had been poor for a lifetime, such as why he published 1,300 yuan for his manuscript, and relied on "Ordinary World" to win the contradictory literature award. He had to find someone to borrow 5,000 yuan to have money. Jingcheng received the prize, sent the money to Lu Yao, and begged his brother: You wo n’t get any prizes in the future. If you get the Nobel Prize for Literature, I wo n’t be able to find foreign exchange for you; before Lu Yao gets on the train, only Say a word: Japanese literature!
In the end, the prize for the Contradictory Literature Award was only 5,000 yuan. After returning, the province rewarded 5,000 yuan. The "Ordinary World" only received a thousand words and thirty manuscripts. This million-dollar work only gave him 30,000 yuan. The manuscript fee, plus the bonus is only 40,000 yuan.
One thousand and three hundred yuan, and forty thousand yuan do n’t sound much. The first reaction is really very poor. However, it was 1,300 yuan in 1983 and 40,000 yuan in 1991. Purchasing power is definitely not comparable now.
In 1983, the average worker only had dozens of dollars a month, and 1300 was almost equivalent to the average worker ’s two-year income, which was converted into 120 thousand or 200 thousand now. In Bing Xin ’s diary, there are her detailed expenditures in 1983. One, advance payment of nanny Aunt Song ’s salary in February is 20 yuan, and 1,300 yuan is equivalent to the salary of the sixty-five months of Bingxin ’s nanny.
The average salary in Beijing in 1991 was more than 200 a month, but now it is more than 8,000. Lu Yao took 5,000 yuan to Beijing, which is almost equivalent to the current 200,000. It is almost enough to go to heaven and earth.
The bonus of 10,000 yuan is equivalent to the current 400,000 yuan, and the sum of 30,000 yuan is also more than 1 million, which is enough to buy a house in the current West Security; of course, the house price in Xi'an was lower at that time, and 40,000 yuan was enough for him. I bought several sets. If he bought a few suites like Zheng Yuanjie to store letters from readers, there would be no problem in doubling by dozens or dozens.
Moreover, Lu Yao not only has income from manuscript fees, but he was awarded "National Expert with Outstanding Contribution" and "Expert with Outstanding Contribution to Shaanxi Province" shortly after the award of "Ordinary World" at the end of 1991, and began to enjoy the national expert allowance And the Shaanxi expert allowance, plus these, the Jedi was the wealthy middle class at the time.
Perhaps the money is not too much, and it is actually not worthy of Lu Yao ’s works, but Lu Yaoqiong is really not because of low manuscript fees, but his consumption habits. He is very addicted to smoking, smoking more than two packs a day. They are all good smoke. He likes to drink coffee, and he drinks good coffee.
Lu Yao attended the meeting and never ate breakfast arranged by the organizer, even though the food was very good. I have to go to a coffee shop for Western breakfast. In the 1980s, there were few coffee shops and they were very expensive. It was about 5 yuan at a time. Although Lu Yao ’s monthly salary was only about 40 yuan, he did n’t care. He Say, "For people like us, the biggest enemy is that they look down on themselves and need a special publicity to counteract the special inferiority."
Converted to the current concept, it is almost equivalent to a gold collar with a million a year. Every time you eat, you must eat a tens of thousands of kaiseki dishes and smoke high-end Cuban cigars. This is still a bit difficult.
Shen Long took the pen and signed his name on Liu Jianguo ’s notebook. This was the first time he gave a signature to Liu Jianguo. After receiving the signature, Liu Jianguo was very happy. After the next issue of "Harvest" arrived, he could Holding a signature to show it to his friends, maybe it will win the favor of a girl.
"Mr. Sun, when the sample magazine is sent, I will send you home!" Liu Jianguo said diligently, contrary to the attitude towards the general staff.
"Thank you, but I do n’t have to. I leave the address of Mr. Jia in" Yellow Text Art ". At that time, Mr. Jia will hand it over to me." Shen Long declined politely and left with a thick pile of money.
In the new week ~ EbookFREE.me ~ in the middle of the week, it was suddenly raining down and the construction site had to be shut down. Shen Long had a rare holiday. He strolled around the street during the day and looked at the department store. Look at what is suitable for Tian Xiaoxia's gift. He always receives Xiaoxia's gift, so he has to give back one or two.
Return to the cave at night, light up the oil lamp to continue writing, and soon finished "Old Well", and began to think about the new story, what work should I choose this time?
Want to copy "Qiu Ju Fight Lawsuit"? Or "No One Less"? Hey, why am I always looking for Zhang Yimou's work to look at wool? Shen Long couldn't help grinning, it was better to change the subject.
No matter it is "Land" or "Old Well", both novels have a strong taste of the past. Shen Long still hopes to write a more positive story. He wants to write a peasant The entrepreneur's story reflects the changes in the new era of the countryside, just like Shao'an.
There is a specific direction. I have n’t thought about which work to choose to rewrite Shen Long. This time he does not intend to copy as much as "The Yellow Land" and "Old Well", but intends to integrate many practical experiences. Then re-create some classic works on this theme.
The time came at the weekend, and Tian Xiaoxia came to him with a happy mood in the autumn rain, which means that they stayed for a whole day.

Having eaten and chatting about literature for a while, Shen Long suggested, "Shall we go out and go?"
He wanted to take this opportunity to solve the problem of the brick machine.
