Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 367 "Platform": The joys and sorrows of little people in the big era
Fang Minghua understood.

Bai Miao is a little dissatisfied with this type of novel.

In fact, this is the case. I think the stream-of-consciousness novel I wrote was not accepted by many people, and there was a lot of criticism.

I also wrote a special paper to introduce stream-of-consciousness novels and had some verbal spats with some people.

Nowadays, avant-garde novels, including stream-of-consciousness novels, are everywhere, and realistic novels have become an outlier.

It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

You need to tell him about this.

Of course, just writing a letter is not enough. Fang Minghua felt that he had to write a new realistic novel to express his support.

What to write?

At this moment, the sound of singing from the tape recorder suddenly came from the next room.

The plot of this movie is not complicated.

I seem to still hear Yu Hua's voice like a male duck.

long platform,
long wait

Fang Minghua smiled.

The love between Zhang Jun and Zhong Ping came to an end amidst the ups and downs as the privately contracted art troupe traveled around.

History is no longer about the great people, but about the little people who are running for their dreams and lives.

"Platform", filmed by Mr. Jia Ke, tells the story of a group of young people from the Fenyang Art Troupe who went from "searching" to "returning" in the wave of social change at the beginning of the reform and opening up in the 1980s.

Under the influence of two major Western disco dance cultural products, "Hedong" and "Warrior", domestic musicians have produced a "Disco" compilation series that mainly covers English original songs with Chinese lyrics, such as "Platform", "Misunderstanding", " "Don't Wait for Me Anymore" etc., and of course the classic song "Little Girl Under the Streetlight".

Of course he wouldn't just go and make do with it.

Several young men and women from the Fenyang City Art Troupe have keenly felt the changes in the new era and gained new ideological enlightenment. They regard themselves as art workers in the county and have begun to distance themselves from the old environment and ideas around them.

Fang Minghua didn't plan to go out for a walk, so he closed the doors and windows, took off his shirt and pants, put on a pair of large pants, sat at the computer and started writing.

"87 Frenzy"!
This is a music album released by Huacheng Audio and Video Publishing House, and it is also the most popular tape this summer.

If you want to go, you have to go to the Love Song Room or KTV, right?
But it hasn’t appeared yet.

It seems that I can't write today. Fang Minghua was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly thought of a movie with the same name as the platform.

my heart is waiting
forever waiting

Isn't this a proper new realistic novel?
It is said that back then, Chief Jia wrote and directed this movie based on the song "Platform". This time I will write a novel based on his movie.

long train,
Carrying my short love

The wolf cries and the ghost howls.

my heart is waiting
forever waiting

The song was still being sung on the tape recorder, and someone else was singing along.

The conflict between ideal and reality is fierce among several young people. Yin Ruijuan realistically rejected Cui Mingliang, who was in love with her, became a civil servant, and withdrew from the circle of literary youth.

Cui Mingliang returned to his hometown. He and Yin Ruijuan lived a boring and ordinary life together.

At the end of the movie, Cui Mingliang lies on his seat and falls asleep like countless bored middle-aged men. Yin Ruijuan holds the child and comforts her. The scream of the kettle is like the whistle of a train, stirring up their former dreams and distance. In the end, everything is just... See you in my dream.

The 1980s were the decade of the most dramatic changes in China. Because of the rapid changes, people had no time to mentally prepare to bid farewell to the past, and were thrown into a confused new era. Fenyang in the movie is dilapidated, barren, conservative and hopeless. , people living in it rely on it but are unable to get rid of it.

And I, returning to this era, are now almost at the end of this era.

Write it down.

The joys and sorrows of little people in a big era.

Reducing the movie into a script was a familiar task for Fang Minghua. He was completely immersed in writing, and the singing next door slowly disappeared, and in the end there was silence outside.

It wasn't until midnight that Fang Minghua finally finished writing. Fang Minghua actually wrote a novella of more than 20,000 words in one breath!

Rubbing his tired wrist, he looked at his watch. It was already three o'clock in the morning.

Putting on his coat, Fang Minghua opened the door and window and walked out. It was almost dark outside, with only a few dim lights downstairs, and the sound of crickets in the distance.

Suddenly he discovered that a room on the second floor of the second floor opposite seemed to have lights on. It was the dormitory for female students.

Is it Li Hongying's dormitory?
It seemed to be that room, but it was so far away that Minghua couldn't be sure.

Staying up so late makes me a night owl.

Fang Minghua smiled, turned around and entered the room.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, and go to bed.

Fang Minghua guessed correctly, it was Li Hongying's dormitory.

At this time, Chen Hong was already asleep, and Li Hongying was sitting at the desk wearing a plain nightgown, writing furiously.

From this morning to evening, she didn't even leave the house, and Chen Hong helped bring the food from the cafeteria.

In fact, she originally wanted to enter the "little dark room", but she heard that the room was occupied by students from other classes, so she had to write in her dormitory.

In order not to affect the rest of my companions, I turned off the lights in the room and adjusted the light of the desk lamp I bought to the minimum.

The novel she wrote is called "Poppies and White Moonlight"

The content is written with the "mountain city" of Chongqing as the geographical background. It tells the story of 1976-year-old Dou Xiaoming who was admitted to the hospital due to injury in 12 and met the nurse Jiahui who took great care and love for him.

Jiahui was born beautiful, but she married Gang Ge, a young man from the local mixed society, and often suffered domestic violence. After Dou Xiaoming learned about this, he stood up to fight against the injustice, which changed the fate of the three of them.
Now it's finally done.

Li Hongying rubbed her sore wrist and took a long breath.

The novel is not long, about 30,000 words.

Instead of writing a novel, I would rather write about my childhood experiences.

Anyway, it's finally finished and can be handed over to Teacher Fang tomorrow morning.

I wonder what kind of comments he would make after reading this novel?
Um.
Leave it to him during your morning run!
Teacher Fang has been running every day these days!

Wash, sleep, sweet dreams!

Although she went to bed late at night, Li Hongying still got up on time at 6:30 in the morning, put on her sportswear and pants, and carried a schoolbag containing the novel she had just written last night, and rushed to the playground happily.

The result disappointed her.

Fang Minghua didn't come at all.

what happened?

After running, I have to eat, and after eating, I have to go to class.

Simply go find him now!
Li Hongying was a girl who did what she said. She didn't even return to her dormitory, but ran towards Fang Minghua's dormitory with her schoolbag on her back.

At this time, Fang Minghua was still sleeping soundly.

I rarely stay up so late to sleep, so I can't get up at all in the morning. Anyway, there are no classes today, so I can sleep as late as I want.

As I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

What the hell!

The one with no eyes must not be Yu Hua, right?
This guy relied on his familiarity and didn't pay attention to the time when he was looking for him.

Fang Minghua fought back his sleepiness and got up, put on his big pants without a shirt, and angrily rushed to open the door. He was about to yell at her, but he saw it was a girl.

It turned out to be Li Hongying.
