Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 492 Wang Shuo, the Unyielding
When Wang Shuo said this, several foreign deep space staff could not understand it, so they could only ask the Chinese colleague Wang Mo who was beside him. After listening to Wang Mo's translation, they began to discuss the front of "Niu b" very seriously. What the hell would it mean to add "blow".

They are not unfamiliar with the word Niu b, and it belongs to a word that they can use flexibly when they first learn Chinese.

The culture of Deep Space Company is to "praise people". When you meet others, you will also praise your colleagues. It happens that most of them are learning Chinese, so you can often hear the word "Niu b" in the office.

No matter who, whoever, whatever they do, they can reap a lot of bullshit.

"No, shouldn't cow b be an adjective?" Someone expressed doubts.

"What, isn't it an interjection?"

"Huh? I always thought it was an onomatopoeia...or maybe a particle?"

"How is it possible? Aren't we usually using adjectives? Otherwise, how do we add adverbs of degree?"

"No, I've always used it as an interjection, just like babbling, at the end of a sentence."

"My God, you're using it as an interjection!"

"Isn't it? It's an interjection."

"Then how do you explain Niu B? Could it be two interjections connected together?"

"Why can't two interjections be connected together? Isn't it just two interjections connected together?"

"Wow isn't it an onomatopoeia?"

"What about it?"

……

Wang Mo looked at his colleagues arguing and discussing the part of speech of this "beautiful b", a little dazed, wondering if this is still an American?
Wang Shuo also scratched his head, he couldn't understand what these foreigners were saying, he just felt that their discussion was quite intense.

At this time, Yu Dong and the others took another two steps this way, and he said, "Mr. Wang Shuo is here to promote the quintessence of China to foreign people?"

Wang Shuo turned his head and saw Yu Dong and the others walking this way, and stood up with a smile: "It's nothing to chat with them. Why did you come so early? It's only early seven o'clock."

Seeing Wang Shuo standing up, Yu Dong was a little surprised, "We had an early New Year's Eve dinner, so come over and have a look."

The others also saw Yu Dong and stood up to greet them one after another. One of them was more cheerful and asked with a smile: "YU, what kind of word do you think 'niu b' belongs to? An adjective, an interjection, or a pseudonym." Sound words?"

"What is this kid asking?" Wang Shuo asked.

"Ask me what part of speech Niubi is."

Wang Shuo took a deep puff of his cigarette and was a little taken aback, "These foreigners think differently from us. But if I ask you this question, it can be regarded as a professional counterpart. Didn't you graduate from the Chinese Department?"

"You fart." Bi Feiyu said on the side: "The scope of the Chinese Department has grown, and the research directions of their research institutes at Yan Normal University are different. What you are discussing now belongs to the category of applied language research. Yu Dong At that time, the main research was modern literature.”

"Didn't I never go to college?" Wang Shuo said with a smile.

Yu Dong smiled and said, "A new problem has arisen. Is the fart that Feiyu said just now a verb, a noun, or an adjective?"

"It's not a verb or a noun, it should be verb-object short..." Halfway through the speech, Bi Feiyu laughed: "Hey, we're really discussing it. Is there a need for us to discuss this kind of thing?"

Several people laughed, and now Jimmy greeted everyone on the stage to draw a lottery. Yu Dong smiled and said to the person who asked the question just now: "This question can be explored by yourself later, let's draw a lottery right away, everyone is ready to prepare." Draw a lottery."

After speaking, he pulled Wang Shuo aside, "Why didn't you go home for the New Year?"

Wang Shuo chuckled: "I'm used to running around, it's so boring to go home."

Yu Dong curled his lips, Wang Shuo was a bit pretentious when he said this, this guy just got divorced this year, his wife and daughter went to the United States, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his family, so he probably avoided it on purpose.

A man of Wang Shuo's age will soon be five years old. It is not appropriate to say that he is rebellious, but Yu Dong always feels that Wang Shuo is just a rebellious big boy who has not grown up.Sometimes I don't look at his face, just listen to his words, I feel like a classmate who was very mean-mouthed in middle school and never had a serious look.

Yu Hua joked, "All of us have signed contracts with Deep Space Corporation. Wang Shuo, you are a non-staff member, and you are here to make a living tonight."

Wang Shuo curled his lips and said, "If you're a fool, you're a fool. Let me tell you, my buddy, tonight I'm not only going to eat, but also to win a lottery."

"That would make no sense."

……

In this world, unreasonable things happen every day.

When Wang Shuo won the first prize, Yu Hua looked straight at the side.

The lucky draw for the New Year’s Eve dinner has very rich prizes, one special prize, two first prizes, five second prizes, and ten third prizes. Even if you don’t win the lottery, as long as you are present, there will be a consolation prize.

Both the special prize and the first prize are computers. The computer for the special prize is worth 1 yuan, and the computer for the first prize is also worth more than [-] yuan.

The winner of the special prize was a colleague of the website. The young man lives in Northeast China. Because he has to be responsible for the live broadcast of the website this year, he can’t go home.

The benefits of Deep Space Company are very good, but 2 yuan is still more than most people's annual salary, so for ordinary employees, this award is very important.

As for Wang Shuo, he won the first prize so frightened that he walked back and forth in front of Yu Hua with his winning slip.

Yu Hua didn't want to look at him, whenever Wang Shuo walked in front of him, he would turn his face away, but Wang Shuo would always appear in front of him soon.

Wang Shuo waved the note in front of Yu Hua: "Some staff members didn't get the award, but I, a non-staff staff member, got it. It's fair, it's fucking fair, you can't accept it."

It's just that Wang Shuo's jealousy didn't last long. After the dinner, he played cards with Yu Hua and the others again.

In view of the fact that Wang Shuo lost a lot last time, Mo Yan proposed this time to change to a game that Wang Shuo is better at.However, Wang Shuo was also stubborn, saying that he lost on the ball, and he wanted to get it back on the ball, and he was determined not to change the project.

Only one day later, he was full of confidence and wanted to win back all the money he lost before.

It's just that the sky didn't go as planned, and overnight passed, not to mention that he didn't get back what he had before, and he lost more than 200 more, and even broke the record for the fastest money loss he had set a day ago.

After New Year's Eve, Wang Shuo did not return to Yanjing, but stayed in Jinling, stunned. According to him, he wanted to drive out the script of "You Are Not a Laity".

Yu Dong didn't have time to take care of him, first he spent a few days to get rid of the relatives in Cheng Yanqiu's house, and then he brought his parents and wife back to Shanghai to get rid of the relatives in the other side.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Yu Dong's family had just arrived at Uncle Yu Dong's house, and after greeting those relatives, Wang Shuo called.

As soon as the phone was connected, Yu Dong heard Wang Shuo yawn and said: "I have finished writing the script, you can take a look at it some time, if you have anything to change, you can do it yourself, don't ask me again .”

"Have you finished writing?" Yu Dong asked in surprise, "It's only been a few days?"

"Nonsense, can't I revise my own novel quickly? Don't pretend to be so surprised. I've heard people say that you can write scripts faster than most people can shit."

"..."

"When will you come over to get the script?" Wang Shuo asked again.

"Not now, I'm going back to Shanghai."

"Okay, then I'll let the surplus come and get it. If you want to see it, just go to him when the time comes."

Yu Dong nodded: "Okay, I'll look for him later, you go to sleep, I heard you talking, stayed up all night last night?"

"It's not an all-nighter. I slept until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night and got up after eating some food. I finally finished writing. Now I don't sleep anymore. I'm going to have a meal and then go to Jinyi."

"Why go to Jinyi?"

"revenge."

Before Dong asked again, Wang Shuo had already hung up the phone.

Yu Dong looked at his phone and shook his head amusedly.

Wang Shuo said he wanted revenge, so he must have gone to play cards with Yu Hua and the others.

Maybe the reason why Wang Shuo was in such a hurry to get the script out was to spare time to play cards with Yu Hua and the others...

I hope he doesn't lose again.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong was about to go back to the yard when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing not far away.

This person was wearing a hat and a leather jacket. It turned out to be Xu Zheng.

Seeing Xu Zheng, Yu Dong laughed. Before he came here, he wondered if he would meet Xu Zheng if he came here today, but he did.

"You're at home, what a coincidence." Yu Dong said with a smile.

Xu Zheng also came over, "It's not a coincidence, I've been at home these few days, and I've been staring at Li Xiaobo's house every day, wondering if you've come, Mr. Yu."

Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Zheng to be waiting for him on purpose.

"Hey, if you want to find me, just call me. It's not like you don't have my phone number. Or ask Li Xiaobo directly. We've agreed in advance to come to his house."

"It's nothing, so I won't waste your time by calling. Anyway, I'm usually at home during the holidays, so I have nothing to do." Xu Zheng smiled and invited Yu Dong: "Would you like to come to my house?"

Yu Dong didn't hesitate too much, nodded and said, "Okay, then just stop bothering me."

Xu Zheng's house is that kind of old alley, the downstairs is empty and nothing is placed, and the floor upstairs has been laid, which should have been there for many years, and some places have warped.

"The house is so simple that Teacher Yu laughed at it."

Xu Zheng made a cup of tea for Yu Dong, Yu Dong brought the cup over, and said with a smile, "This tea is not bad."

After speaking, he looked at Xu Zheng's house again: "Look at this, you rarely come back to live here."

"Well, I usually live in the regiment, and this room is empty."

The troupe in Xu Zheng's mouth refers to the original Shanghai People's Theater and now the Shanghai Drama Art Center. Before graduation, he used to play there every day, and he has been working in this unit since graduation.

"Although we haven't had much contact with you in the past two years, I have also learned about your situation. The few dramas you have acted in recently are very good, and your acting skills have improved a lot in the past two years."

Xu Zheng said modestly: "No, it's all luck. The regiment has assigned many important roles. I am also under a lot of pressure. I am afraid that I will let down the trust of the leader."

Yu Dong waved his hand, "Don't talk bureaucratically with me."

Xu Zheng has done really well in the Shanghai drama circle in the past two years. Their centrally-ranked drama "The Color of Stock" is not only well recognized by professionals, but also has a good response among the masses.

Now, after more than a dozen performances, the whole drama has become more and more mature in all aspects.

Dramas are different from movies and TV shows in that they are very on-site. The same drama will not only be performed by the same group of people, but even if it is performed by the same group of people, there will be great differences in different performances.

For a play, the first act and the hundredth act may feel like watching two different plays.

In the continuous performances and rehearsals, the understanding of the script by the actors, and the understanding of the script by the dance director, director and other behind-the-scenes workers will also make great changes.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Yu Dong looked at Xu Zheng seriously again.

When he first met Xu Zheng back then, he thought about cooperating with him, but he was afraid that the seedlings would grow stronger and affect his subsequent development.

But now Xu Zheng seems to be a lot more mature, and Yu Dong also believes that after several years of training, his acting skills should also be greatly improved.

After thinking for a while, Yu Dong said, "Xu Zheng, besides dramas, have you taken on other dramas in the past two years? Movies or TV dramas."

Xu Zheng shook his head, "After "Hu Xueyan", I have been acting in dramas all the time, and I haven't touched anything else."

"Because no one is looking for you?"

"That's not true." Xu Zheng smiled, "There are also some crews who have approached me, and I have seen it and thought it was not suitable. Besides, I have acted in a lot of dramas now, so I don't know if I am suitable."

In fact, Xu Zheng's thinking is not unreasonable. Although everyone speaks and plays to test the skills of actors, there are still some differences in the performance of dramas, TV dramas and movies. Some people can perform well in dramas, but they may not be able to act well in movies.

Yu Dong has seen some actors, the drama is very good, they are called old drama bones, but once they are on the big screen, the way of acting can't be changed, it will give people a strong sense of drama.

"actually……"

Yu Dong was about to speak when he heard a shout from outside.

"Adong—"

Yu Dong recognized the voice of his cousin Li Xiaobo, smiled and said to Xu Zheng, "It's Li Xiaobo."

Xu Zheng nodded: "I heard it."

"actually……"

"Adong—"

Li Xiaobo seemed to be against Yu Dong, as soon as Yu Dong opened his mouth to speak, his voice rang out.

Yu Dong had no choice but to reply: "Here we are."

Then he said to Xu Zheng: "Come to see you after dinner."

"Okay, Teacher Yu, you are busy first."

Yu Dong nodded, stood up and walked downstairs, shaking his head as he walked, his cousin used to call him Yu Dong, but since he became famous, the name changed, and he started calling him A Dong.

Sometimes when Yu Dong heard him calling himself A Dong, goose bumps all over his body.
