Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 81 081 These future big guys in the film industry (please read and collect tickets)

Yanjing, Central Academy of Drama.

It's afternoon now and there are no classes. Some girls go to the library to read, while others go shopping on the street. It's not far from Shichahai Park and Tiananmen Square, and there are many fun places.

Wearing beautiful dresses, talking and laughing in groups on the street is like a beautiful scenery, not to mention that all the girls in Yangzhou Opera are very beautiful.

The boys vent their energy on the court, or go to the library to read. What they read are usually novels or newspapers and magazines.

A tall boy with long hair was reading a magazine seriously, and a skinny boy next to him leaned over to take a look.

"The Sun Also Rises"

So he smiled and said: "Are you also interested in so-called stream-of-consciousness novels? This novel has become very popular recently."

The tall boy glanced at him and asked, "Xiaoguang, what do you think of this novel?"

"I've seen it, but I can't understand it," said the boy named Xiaoguang.

"I think he wrote it very well, especially the role of Tang Yulin, which is very interesting."

"What? You want to act? But now it's just a novel, and it's still a controversial novel." Xiaoguang joked.

"But it's a good novel."

Hearing his companion's rebuttal, Xiaoguang said: "Well, when a director is wise and wants to turn this novel into a movie, I will quickly recommend myself to play the role of Tang Yulin."

The tall boy smiled and said nothing.

He was indeed a little moved.

But more importantly, there is an impulse. If no director dares to film this novel in the future, he would like to film it.

Of course, he couldn't say this now. If he did, his friends would laugh at him.

Because he is still a sophomore at Yang Opera, majoring in acting.

His name is Jiang Wen, and the thin young man next to him is his college friend named Chou Xiaoguang.

Also at Yanjing Film Academy, another institution of higher learning in the entertainment industry, two boys were eating steamed buns and reading magazines.

A man with a short crew cut and a dull appearance spoke Mandarin with an accent from Guanzhong, Qin Province. He pointed at a section of the article with his hand holding a steamed bun and said:

“If this novel is adapted into a movie, I don’t need to talk about the plot, but I feel that the texture of the picture is very good. The bright flowers, the blue sky, the rushing water, the layers of fields, these extremely gorgeous scenery, if shot with saturated colors It must be beautiful.”

"Yimou, you are indeed a photographer, and your reading angle is different from others." Another tall young man spoke with a fluent Beijing film accent and said with a smile, taking a bite of the steamed bun.

The young man with a flat head smiled and said, "Kaige, you majored in directing. Let me ask you, if I give you a chance, will you make this novel?"

The young man named Kaige put down the steamed bun he was about to bite, thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head.

"I like works with clear plots and broad narratives. I don't like things like this that are vague and hazy, but they are very shocking!"

The two were just chatting, which was a bit far away from them because they were still students of Yan Dian.

The one with a crew cut is called Zhang Yimou, and the one with a fluent Pekingese accent is called Chen Kaige.

These big guys who will be active in the domestic film industry in the future are still unknown young students at the moment. These things are only used as conversation materials after learning, and they will not be mentioned again after talking about them.

As for the controversy over this novel in the literary world, I don't even care.

But in southern Xinjiang, a beautiful girl is paying close attention to these developments in the literary world.

The capital of Guangxi Province - Greentown.

It is now afternoon, and the streets are crowded with people and traffic. A few beautiful female soldiers in military uniforms attract attention.

They are members of the Southern Xinjiang Art Troupe. They just performed a performance in the military area last night. They have a day off today, so they went out to go shopping and buy some daily necessities.

The destination is Greentown Department Store, which is the largest store in the city. It has creams, peppermint oil, etc. that girls like. I want to buy some while I am out for a performance.

Several people were talking and laughing while walking. Suddenly, a slender female soldier was attracted by a message posted on the wall at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore and stopped to watch. "Great news! Starting from today, our sales department will open the shelves for all books except comic books and multi-volume collections!"

"Tangtang, let's go quickly."

The companion next to him urged.

"Hongxia, you go first, I'll go to the bookstore and have a look."

"Oh, since Tangtang read the novel written by Fang Minghua, she has become a literary young man now." A companion immediately joked.

"I like to read books myself, but unlike you, you only like to look at beautiful clothes!"

"It's all in vain to look at them. They are not allowed to be worn in the army."

Listening to the discussion of his companions, Song Tangtang smiled slightly and entered Xinhua Bookstore without saying anything.

Oh my God
  Song Tangtang was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

The bookstore is full of people!

Now that you're here, let's take a look.

Song Tangtang walked inside.

The aisle was full of people and it was impossible to walk through it. But when Song Tangtang passed by, many of the people around looked at her and turned aside to give way.

This female soldier is not only beautiful, but she also seems to have an aura that cannot be violated.

Song Tangtang didn't wander around, just went to the magazine and newspaper reading area on the first floor to read some of the latest newspapers and magazines.

There was relatively little news in the military camp. What Song Tangtang was more concerned about was how was the response from readers and critics when Fang Minghua published his article "The Sun Also Rises"?
  She thinks it looks good, but others may not think so, right?

What's more, according to Fang Minghua, publishing is also full of twists and turns.

Song Tangtang picked up a magazine - "Literary Review". She heard from her mother that this is a well-known literary review publication. It publishes timely and insightful comments on award-winning and attention-grabbing works and writers over the years. Theoretical articles.

See if there are any articles commenting on Fang Minghua’s novel?
  Yes, indeed there is!
  But Song Tangtang's pretty face changed color slightly after looking at it for a while.

This entire article is a criticism!

It was reposted from a certain issue of the Literary Newspaper by an author named Zhou Fan!
  She quickly looked at other magazines, and the literary review columns of several magazines also forwarded this article! There are other authors who have written it, and it is all criticism!

Why?

ha! This magazine published an article, which is appreciated!

It turned out to be written by Wang Meng.

Wow. He is indeed a good elder.

Song Tangtang remembered that day at the family building of the Yanjing Writers Association and saw Wang Meng's amiable appearance.

I wonder if Fang Minghua saw it?

Song Tangtang thought of another question.

He certainly couldn't see it.

How could I see these magazines when I followed the crew to a remote place in the northwest?
  There is no such thing even in the county of Ningming.

Send it over!
  Song Tangtang made a decision immediately.

I don’t have the ability to write an article to refute it at my own level, but I think he can definitely do it!

"Comrade." Song Tangtang said to the salesperson next to him: "I want to buy these magazines, this one, this one, and this one."
