A slow preparation, a fast driving. A story for children about Seryozha.
After the visiting the winter city forest and after the non-verbal communication with the bird, Seryozha closely monitored the situation so as not to miss the opportunity to become a literary oligarch.
When the news came that the great Russian writer had left his nest in the East and started the movment through Kamchatka and Vladivostok across Siberia to European Russia by train, Seryozha gathered all the possible information from open sources.
The impression was that this writer earned sums of money from his works comparable to Maxim Gorky's royalties.
In addition, the great writer planned to hold a free (friendly) discussion about modern literature in the Literary Club (after the arrival in the Seryozha's city). The participants of the meeting will drink coffee and will talk about literature.
Seryozha immediately called the literary factories and ordered two books for publication.
One book was about the actor Mikhail Shchepkin (1788-1863). It was supposed to be published in the book series "The Ways of Talented Figures". This book was written by a student of one of the theatrical institutes (from the system of higher education). During his studies, this student was preparing some kind of student work, became interested in the topic, went to libraries and archives, and eventually wrote a book. But everywhere he applied with his manuscript, a deaf silence was the answer to him. The student stopped trying to publish his almost finished book. He went back about his theatrical business. And the manuscript passed (relocated) at the disposal of the literary factory. After the Seryozha's financial offer, the factory will ensure the publication of the book, eliminating the possibility of direct textual coincidences.
The second book was devoted to the literary processes on Sakhalin during the time of Anton Chekhov. It was written by a school teacher of the literature who studied at Moscow State University and departed to Sakhalin for a various Far Eastern financial benefits. His parents, Muscovites, declared themselves bankrupt in a simplified manner. The fate of the book roughly resembled the plot of the creation and subsequent use of the first book.
Seryozha soon became the author of two published books.
With such a creative baggage, it was not difficult for him to get a membership card of a member of the Literary Club.
And soon every member of the Literary Club received an Invitation card for a coffee-discussion about modern literature with the participation of the great writer, who was gradually approaching the Seryozha's city.
At last, the great writer arrived, and the day of the coffee-discussion came.
Seryozha put on a stylish black coat, black shiny shoes, tied a scarf and went to the mirror.
No! Not like that! He looked like a man from the financial sector.
The inspection of the loose cashmere coat, multicolored, began.
Yes, this coat is more suitable for a literary oligarch!
The scarf needs to be tied in the another way, with the other knot! And, in general, he need the other scarf!
Some time was devoted to choosing a scarf and the knot with which the scarf should be tied.
Other shoes will be more suitable for the new coat and scarf (and knot).
Seryozha chose shoes of a different color and style.
Well, it's good now!
Seryozha called a taxi.
However, at that moment, taxi prices increased fourfold.
Well, they make it worse for themselves. They will be left without Seryozha's money. They're not going anywhere. He will walk to the Literary Club, where a coffee-discussion will take place. It will take five minutes to walk.
Seryozha headed for the Literary Club.
He saw an active fuss near the Club.
A gorgeous black car pulled up to the Club. A man in a plaid shirt, vest and beard rushed out of the Club to the car.
An employee of the radio station, who was well known to Seryozha, shouted imperiously: "Please stop! A memorable photograph for the museum of the Lermontov Scientific Research Institute of Literature!"
A man in vest and with a beard was just passing by Seryozha. They both turned to the radio station employee and, standing side by side, were photographed several times.
A man in a plaid shirt got into a black car and drove away.
An employee of the radio station congratulated Seryozha: "The photos turned out well! You - with a great writer!" "Today the photos will be printed, published, the printed photos will be delivered to you!"
"Thanks!"
Seryozha entered the premises of the Literary Club.
He passed through the admission system, thanks to the Invitation card.
In the room where the coffee-discussion took place a few minutes ago, there was a stack of brochures on the table entitled: "How Can We Plow Up a Field?"
Seryozha managed to find a copy of the brochure with the author's inscription ("I wish success to energetic literary figures").
It was a good thing that he lingered, choosing coats and shoes, and did not participate in the discussion. What could there be in common between him and this man in a plaid shirt, vest and with beard? Let him travel further... What interesting things can the members of the Literary Club, who sell commemorative medals with images of Derzhavin and other great cultural figures (to finance their activities), tell him, the owner of Derzhavin's genuine suitcase?
He will hang a photo of him with the great writer and a scan of autographed brochure in a prominent place in the Pool. This will help him to move up the career ladder. Or - to successfully get the status of a literary oligarch.
