Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 435 Chapter 434 Four young writers’ “letters of nomination”

Sure enough!

Of course, Fang Minghua couldn't act like I had suspected, but he was surprised and happy.

"Really?"

"How could I lie to you about such a thing? However, although the nomination is made by the presidium, it must be voted by all council members. At least half of the votes can be selected, so you must be mentally prepared." Hu Cai reminded.

"How could Minghua not even get half of the votes? I don't believe it. I will take over from you in the future!" Du Pengcheng said.

As a result, Hu Cai glared at him.

You, Lao Du, why don't you keep your mouth shut?

This is just a private discussion between a few of us old guys, and we haven't communicated it to our superiors yet. Besides, I still have a few years to retire, so what's the benefit of letting him know in advance?
But Fang Minghua pretended not to hear what Du Pengcheng said, and immediately stated that if I was elected, I would do my duty. If I was not elected, it means that I still have many shortcomings, and I would like to make corrections and strive for improvement in the future.

The standard answer.

The venue for this meeting is the Yanjing Purple Jade Hotel on Zengguang Road within the Aerospace Bridge of the West Third Ring Road. This is a long-established hotel and a designated foreign-related hotel. Many important meetings of the Writers Association are held here.

Why.
I might as well read your prose "Dianyun Range Rover" and "Along the Rapids of the Lancang River".

Among them, there are several young and new faces that stand out.

Although he held a pen and pretended to record something in his notebook, he actually didn't write a few words at all.

On the rostrum, the Vice Chairman of the Writers' Association and members of the presidium were present. The crowd in the audience was all directors of the Writers' Association. Although many of them are old and have few works published, and are not very active in the literary world, they have absolute influence in the literary world. The right to speak.

Fang Minghua went up to contact him and was met by a deputy director of the Beijing Office, surnamed Lu. After shaking hands with several leaders, he took a few people to a Tianjin-made Sanfeng station wagon in the parking lot of the square.

Fang Minghua was sitting in the last row of the conference room. Also sitting with him were Shu Ting, Wang Anyi, and Tie Nian, all newly elected representatives to attend the meeting.

He hated this kind of report-style meeting. Hearing Feng Mu read some dry words on the podium felt boring.

Sure enough, when everyone got out of the station, they saw a man holding a sign with the words "picking up the leaders of the Qin Provincial Writers Association".

Fang Minghua felt bored.

"No need to bother, just go to the hotel."

The train did not arrive at Yanjing Station until noon the next day. The Writers Association was also a Qingshui yamen, so naturally it would not send cars to the station to pick up the provincial directors.

"People's Daily", "Guangming Daily", CCTV Radio and other media reported the entire event.

The meeting was chaired by Feng Mu, vice chairman of the Writers Association. The meeting first listened to the 1987 annual work report of the Writers Association by Feng Zhi, another vice chairman.

After Fang Minghua and his party checked in, they stayed at this hotel. Members of the Board of Directors of Writers' Associations from various provinces arrived one after another, and it suddenly became lively.

Of course, the news media is indispensable.

But in this era, every province has its own office in Beijing, so before leaving, Hu Cai contacted the Beijing Office of the Provincial General Office to send a car to pick him up.

Some people say that the annual meeting of the Writers Association's board of directors is a gathering of literary bigwigs.

After everyone got on the bus, Director Lu asked: "Chairman Hu, are you going to our office or directly to the hotel?"

On May 5, the fourth council meeting of the Fourth Writers Association officially opened in the conference room of Ziyu Hotel. In addition to nearly 5 representatives, relevant comrades from the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Culture, and the Press and Publication Administration also attended. meeting.

Palladium, chairman of the Writers Association, is now mostly recuperating at his home in Shanghai due to his old age and frail health and rarely appears in public.

It reproduces the customs and customs of Yunnan and the Lancang River.

Fang Minghua was holding a pen and thinking wildly when someone suddenly touched his arm. Fang Minghua turned his head and saw that it was Wang Anyi.

The other party glanced at them, and Fang Minghua realized that a reporter was facing them with a camera.

He quickly picked up the pen and pretended to take notes, and then looked at Tie Nian on the other side, who was concentrating on taking notes. Seeing the girl's serious look, Fang Minghua couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder he later became the chairman of the Writers Association.

Feng Mu's report was mainly divided into two parts. He summarized the work of the Writers Association last year, the achievements and existing problems, as well as the work plan of the Writers Association this year, etc., and finally received a round of applause.

In the afternoon, there was a group discussion on the report. All major reports within the system followed this pattern, and Fang Minghua had no chance to speak.

The meeting continued on the second day, and now it was a discussion on literary theory. The atmosphere was much more lively than yesterday.

Several directors took to the stage to speak and shared some of their views from various aspects such as current literary trends, literary creation, and literary criticism.

"I'm a little nervous."

Sitting in the back, Tie Nian whispered.

It turned out that the organizer of the conference had greeted the four of them in advance and wanted to arrange for them to speak and talk about their personal reflections on literary creation.

In fact, the four people also understood that this was also a "testimonial" for them to be elected as a director of the Writers Association, more like a thesis defense.

A group of big guys in the literary world listen to a few juniors talking about their own creative ideas and whether what they say is good or not. To some extent, they decide whether they can join their camp, and even hand over the baton to them to become the real voice in the literary world. The right person.

The four of them were sitting at attention.

Although Tie Nuan is also a very active young female writer in today's literary world and often attends some conferences, she feels a little nervous because all the big guys are present.

"What are you nervous about?" Fang Ming whispered: "Since you came up, you have treated these people below as cabbage in the winter."

"Ah, this?"

Tie Nuo was stunned.

Wang Anyi, who was sitting on the other side, rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Don't teach others bad things!"
After the big bosses finished speaking, it was the turn of the newcomers to speak.

"Now, I would like to invite Comrade Tie Nian, vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial Writers Association, to speak on the stage and exchange creative ideas!" Amid applause, Tie Nian stepped onto the podium.

After overcoming the initial nervousness, Tie Nian's speech was still very exciting. She mainly elaborated on her creative ideas from the perspective of female literature.

The novels published by Tie Nian, such as "Oh, Fragrant Snow", "Twelfth Night", and "Red Shirt Without Buttons" are all written from a female perspective, which is a bit like the heroine novels of later generations.

After finishing his speech, he received a round of applause, and his face was full of excitement even after the iron was twisted.

Wang Anyi came on stage next, and she talked about urban literature.

If any city in China has its own real urban literature, apart from Yanjing, it is Shanghai City.

Lao She, Wang Zengqi, Deng Youmei, the new generation Liu Xinwu, including Wang Shuo, who is now gradually gaining popularity, are all representatives of Yanjing urban literature.

Only Shencheng can compete with it.

Zhang Ailing is recommended first, and the younger generation includes Wang Anyi, Yan Geling, Jin Yucheng, the author of "Flowers", and the younger generation is Sun Ganlu, as well as several writers born in the 1970s and 1980s, such as Wei Hui, Mian Mian, etc.

However, Zhang Ailing is now far away in the United States, Yan Geling has also gone abroad, Jin Yucheng is not very famous yet, and those born in the 1970s and 1980s are growing up silently. The most popular one now is Wang Anyi.

Next came Shu Ting, who talked about poetry.

Among the representative poets of misty poetry, Shu Ting is closest to mainstream poetry. Her poems are not as obscure as Bei Dao, but are catchy and full of positive energy. They are very popular among readers and poetry leaders.

Her being elected as a director is also an affirmation of Misty Poetry.

The last person to appear was Fang Minghua.
