Chapter 331 The Protagonist of the Novel
German physicist Gerk Lichtenberg said: The most important things are made of tubes. The following proved: male genitals, pens and our guns. Engels also wrote in "Dialectics of Nature": "At that time, almost no famous figure had never made long-distance trips, could not speak four or five languages, and did not radiate light in a few professionals." "Their characteristic is that they were almost all in the movement of the times, living and moving in actual struggles, standing on one side or another, some people used their tongues and pens, some people used their swords, and some people used both, so there was the completeness and strength of the character that made them perfect."
Here we mention guns and pens, and the functions of guns, swords and pens are paralleled. In fact, in the long river of history, we see more of the cold light of guns, but the pen also has its sharp sword light.
The rulers of all dynasties also attached great importance to propaganda and public opinion. Behind each king holding a sword, there was a group of literati holding a pen. Someone once said that a pen sometimes has a role that is better than a hundred thousand mauser rifle. Jiangcheng also has many famous literati, which have had an important influence in special periods. For example, a reporter named Fan was the first to go deep into northern Shaanxi to report to the Red Army, allowing the people of the whole country and the outside world to understand that group of special people. Later, the reporter named Fan became the first president of the party newspaper.
After Zhou Zhongrong took office as Jiangcheng, he also attached great importance to propaganda and public opinion. In many occasions, he took Mei Xiaofen, the Minister of Propaganda, to act together. Even when Ye Sansheng first arrived at the municipal government and considered how to help the mayor face the pressure of the municipal party committee secretary, he planned to use the force to "praise" Zhou Zhongrong, which was to take advantage of Gao Xuejiao's approach to the Xichuan Metropolis Daily, to find the right time, and organize a batch of manuscripts to launch them in a concentrated manner, which would praise Zhou Zhongrong to a disgusting height. The provincial leaders would definitely feel disgusted after reading it.
This plan was too vicious and despicable. Ye Sansheng just thought about it. He didn't dare to say it when he communicated with Guling in a heart-to-heart manner. As a result, he arrived at the Municipal Committee soon and died naturally. Because of the teachings of Taoist Wang and Professor Gu, he never dared to underestimate his influence and role on literati. Although he mocked them for "achievement is not enough and failure is more than enough", he always respected and focused on making friends with writers, but the power of the pen is sometimes uncontrollably displayed, showing it from some unexpected places.
That time, I finally comforted Mr. Nie at Zuimei Restaurant and asked them to report to the relevant departments in accordance with relevant procedures, and strive to solve the problem of demolition of Taibai Building during the development of Xisen Temple within a certain range. Writer Nie promised not to make the matter online for the time being. As a result, within a few days, Writer Nie broke the situation from another aspect.
Stimulated by the development of Xisen Temple, coupled with some thoughts before, and last time I brag about it with some officials in Jiangcheng, such as Wang Changan at the dinner table, Writer Nie decided to write an official novel.
Writer Nie was a traditional writer before, and his position was mainly in journals and magazines. He had never written these types of novels that felt lost, or popular novels for ordinary people. However, official novels did not have to go through the college entrance examination, and the threshold was very low. Writer Nie knew all kinds of things, so he naturally would not think that official novels were difficult to write, so he did it just by doing it. He wrote thousands of words that day and passed it online, and took the title of the book "The Seventeenth Floor of the Municipal Government".
The protagonist in the book is the mayor's secretary. There is no doubt that he was naturally inspired by the people around him. This person is naturally Ye Sansheng, who is well-known in the Jiangcheng officialdom.
The first volume of the book is named "The Post Zhou Dynasty". On the surface, it describes the protagonist's rise to the city government and become the mayor's secretary, but the background is that the newly appointed secretary of the city * party committee and mayor are in conflict with the mayor, fighting for power and profit, and shattering each other. Because various descriptions are more consistent with the situation in Jiangcheng, the cadres and masses of Jiangcheng can read familiar plots from it and find corresponding characters, novel, fun, interesting, exciting, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and ten to hundreds, and immediately spread to Jiangcheng. The link to the novel is forwarded explosively on computers and mobile phones. Writer Nie has only uploaded 20,000 to 30,000 words in the past few days, but his daily clicks exceed 100,000.
This is just a medium-sized novel website.
The news did not delay long before it reached the highest power figure in the Jiangcheng officialdom. After hearing Zhang Zigao's report, Zhou Zhongrong was furious and called Mei Xiaofen personally to deal with the matter immediately. He had to let the novel disappear online before noon.
Mei Xiaofen did not dare to neglect, so she immediately asked Executive Vice Minister Xie Hao to contact Writer Nie directly. Xie Hao is the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the Writers Association is under his jurisdiction, but now it has become a responsibility. Xie Hao immediately called Writer Nie and turned off his phone.
Writer Nie's work and rest time for more than 20 years has been completely reversed. He started at noon and went to bed at three o'clock in the evening, and then fell asleep until he woke up naturally. When he woke up that day, he fumbled to turn on the phone on the bedside, and Xie Hao's phone immediately came in. He had already made more than twenty calls and tried every few minutes, and Zhou Zhongrong called Mei Xiaofen to ask again.
Xie Hao asked Lao Nie, did you write an official novel online? Although the writer Nie was not completely awake, he immediately corrected it, not one, but one, and I plan to write hundreds of thousands or even millions of words. Xie Hao said that the leader just said that this novel may be misunderstood, so please don’t serialize it online, you can delete it now.
Writer Nie was shocked and immediately shouted, how could this be possible? I just received a message from an editor from a publishing house yesterday saying that this book is good, that I would sign a publishing contract with me, and that the progress must be accelerated.
Xie Hao said, you should delete the online one first, as for publishing, let’s talk about it.
Writer Nie hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll let the editor of the website block it first."
Xie Hao has always had a good relationship with him. He has taken care of all the honors and benefits of the Writers Association. Last year, Jiangcheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles awarded the award. During the meeting, he specifically pointed out his name and said that writers like Writer Nie, who have achieved great achievements in creation must give a special prize. Now he cannot refuse this request. He also thinks that his income mainly comes from paper books anyway, and the clicks on the Internet cannot be exchanged for cash. It would be fine if they were not posted online, and the impact was not great, so he agreed to Xie Hao.
Lying on the bed, he called the editor and asked him to block the novel temporarily. The editor was very surprised and said that the data of this book is very good. Now you click every day and you have already entered the top three, and it is still rising. In the future, you can enter V, and the subscription will definitely be very good. Writer Nie also feels regretful. He can only say that some problems have not been considered and needs to be reconceived. Taking advantage of the fact that he has only tens of thousands of words now, he wants to start a new job. The editor advised him twice, so he had to forget it and set it to block.
Writer Nie got up and washed up, went downstairs to eat noodles, and carried the computer to the river to drink tea. He always felt uncomfortable, so he complained to several friends. As a result, two friends shouted, "Old Nie, you don't know yet, I was just thinking to tell you these two days, you have read a lot of people now. I asked someone to drink these two days, and as soon as I got on the table, I put on this novel, saying that you wrote well and wrote so much, everyone knows which one you wrote. I said I am familiar with you, and I want to invite you to drink."
Writer Nie was stunned and couldn't help asking a friend who was working in the office on QQ, but he didn't reply, but he called immediately and said, Brother Nie, you are still pretending to be reckless. Everyone is talking about your book and asking when to write it to their unit. You can write it quickly. This book is definitely popular, hahaha, but the government may be in trouble for you.
Writer Nie was not in the mood to write anymore. He was stunned for a long time. He made up his mind and called the editor again and said that he had figured it out. He followed this path and wrote down. Such a hot opening is a pity. The editor said happily, I just want to persuade you no matter how much you figure it out. Just let me know it out, and I will activate it for you immediately.
As a result, the novel was closed for several hours and reopened. Many readers in Jiangcheng noticed this. Then there was news that the people from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal * Party Committee found Writer Nie. Under pressure, Writer Nie had to agree to block it, but finally decided to fight, so it was opened again. Now the novel was labeled as "***", which became even more popular.
Mei Xiaofen just reported good news to Zhou Zhongrong, but was immediately slapped in the face. "The Seventeenth Floor of the City Government" reappeared online in a grand manner. Mei Xiaofen was furious and scolded Xie Hao. In addition, she arranged for the director of the Cyberspace Administration of China Gan Jian to take charge of this work. She called Writer Nie every day, and Writer Nie always replied to the first sentence as soon as he answered the phone. Why did I delete the post? After a few days, things had no progress. However, Writer Nie was passionate about his creation, and he updated it every day. The more words, the more clicks it, and he firmly ranked first.
That morning, Zhou Zhongrong scolded Mei Xiaofen again on the phone. Zhang Zigao came over and saw that the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had a bad expression. He knew it clearly. He pondered for a while and said, "Secretary, why not deal with this matter in another way?"
Zhou Zhongrong looked at the Secretary-General in confusion.
Chapter completed!
