Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

Lin Youcheng was really surprised that Zhou Qi, the vice president of the Drama Association, personally came to invite Lin Youcheng to serve as a judge for the drama script.

You must know that the scripts submitted for the National Outstanding Script Award are generally the basis of stage plays, including operas, dramas, operas, musicals, children's plays and burlesques. It can be said that it is the only national award specifically designed for stage plays. The award-winning works basically reflect the achievements of my country's drama creation at all stages, enjoy high reputation in the drama circle, and have made significant contributions to the discovery and training of playwrights and the prosperity of drama creation.

Although Lin Youcheng was a screenwriter before and learned to write scripts, Lin Youcheng still feels that it is not appropriate to serve as a judge for drama scripts. After all, although he has written scripts, after all, he is not a drama. professionals.

When Zhang Wei saw Lin Youcheng's refusal and knew Lin Youcheng's concerns, he couldn't help but said to his old friend Zhou Qi: "Let Youcheng think about this matter."

Zhou Qi heard what Zhang Wei said and knew that he was here for an invitation and always wanted Lin Youcheng to agree.

"You're successful. The play "The Wind" arranged by Renyi before was quite exciting!"

"Your story "The Wind" is really well written."

The People's Art Theater specially came to Lin Youcheng to talk about the drama adaptation of "The Wind". However, at that time, Lin Youcheng had not found a nanny, so he did not go to the People's Art Theater to watch the drama "The Wind". It was delayed.

When Lin Youcheng heard Zhou Qi's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "People's Art invited me, but I couldn't get away at that time. I still have several children at home to take care of."

Fortunately, Zhou Qi also knew that it would be difficult to talk more about this matter when he came to visit her for the first time, so he instead said, "Youcheng, your screenwriting skills are undoubted. Have you considered joining the Drama Association?"

“Isn’t this all about the Federation of Literary and Art Circles?”

Then there are the China Photographers Association, referred to as the China Photographers Association, which was established in December 1956, and the China Filmmakers Association, referred to as the China Film Association, which was established in July 12. The famous journal "Popular Cinema" is also sponsored by the Film Association.

This is also the reason why Lin Youcheng refused to serve as a judge for the National Outstanding Screenplay Award, because the Drama Association mainly selects various dramas.

When Zhang Wei heard what Zhou Qi said, he quickly interrupted and said, "You can't do this. Yousheng is a member of the Writers' Association."

In fact, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, also known as the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, a truly national association of writers and artists, was established in July 1949. The Federation of Literary and Art Circles has several national associations of writers and artists. The first to bear the brunt is the Chinese Writers Association, referred to as the Chinese Writers Association. It was established in July 7. Every time the Writers Association holds a national congress, it is basically together with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The current chairman of the Writers Association is the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which also proves the core position of the Writers Association in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. .

Zhang Wei also nodded, with a look of agreement.

Zhou Qi had naturally heard that it was not easy for Lin Youcheng to take care of six children by himself, and couldn't help but said, "I still have to consider personal issues."

Then there is the Chinese Dramatists Association, referred to as the Chinese Drama Association. The association was established in July 1949 and mainly covers drama, opera and other performance industries. The China Drama Association has well-known awards such as the Plum Blossom Performance Award and the Cao Yu Script Award.

There are also organizations such as the Calligraphers Association, the Musicians Association, the Acrobats Association, the Artists Association, the Television Artists Association, the Dancers Association, the Folklore Artists Association, and the Folk Art Circles Association.

Lin Youcheng naturally did not want to go to the Drama Association, but he also knew that this was all because the excellent script of "The Wind" not only amazed the film and television industry, but also other associations saw the talent of the writer Lin Youcheng. Screenwriting skills.

Lin Youcheng did not directly agree to serve as a judge. Zhou Qi naturally hoped that Lin Youcheng would reconsider, and left after exchanging some topics related to script creation. Zhang Wei saw Zhou Qi leaving and asked Lin Youcheng directly: "Why are you thinking of refusing?"

"How do I understand those types of dramas? How can it be so simple if they are the scripts for selection of dramas?"

Lin Youcheng waved his hand and said, "If you ask me to be the judge for a literary award, I probably won't refuse."

When Zhang Wei heard Lin Youcheng's words, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You have been creating all the time. If you are responsible for selecting literary awards, then your works may have no hope of participating in the selection."

"Now I am very optimistic that your film "The Wind" will win the Mao Dun Literature Award."

Win the Mao Dun Literature Award again?
Although the original novel "The Wind" was shortlisted for the Mao Dun Literary Award, Lin Youcheng had already won the Mao Dun Literary Award for "Wonderful Things in the World". It would be more than a little difficult to win the Mao Dun Literary Award again.

Lin Youcheng is still very clear about this.

The Mao Dun Literary Award is still held every three years. Previously, Lin Youcheng's "Wonderful Things in the World" won the second Mao Dun Literary Award. Literary works published from 1982 to 1984 were selected. Now the third Mao Dun Literary Award is natural. That is to say, literary works from 1985 to 1988 will be selected.

When Lin Youcheng heard Zhang Wei's words, he couldn't help but said: "That's too difficult."

"The novel "The Wind" is worth it, but speaking of it, I still feel that the previous novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" was a bit of a pity."

Zhang Wei said with a serious face: "I heard that Mr. Ba also highly praised your movie "The Devotion of Suspect X" before."

When Lin Youcheng heard Zhang Wei's words, he knew very clearly that Kai Ming, the chairman of the Hunan Writers' Association who was in Decheng at that time, also said the same thing. Because "Wonderful Things in the World" was taken, it was impossible for Lin Youcheng to rely on "The Wonders of the World" again. "The Devotion of Suspect X" won the Mao Dun Literature Award, let alone the controversy over "The Devotion of Suspect X", that is the real controversy.

Lin Youcheng said very clearly: "I have already taken it, and it is difficult to take it again."

Zhang Wei looked at Lin Youcheng and said: "As long as you can write truly excellent works, why can't you win Mao Dun Literature again?"

Lin Youcheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Wei's words.

Win the Mao Dun Literature Award again?
Lin Youcheng really never thought about this matter. You must know that even later, there was only one writer who won the Mao Dun Literary Award twice, and he was the one who won the second Mao Dun Literary Award for his novel "Heavy Wings" Zhang Jie won the 2005th Mao Dun Literature Award in for her novel "No Words".

In the domestic literary world, he has created a miracle that is unparalleled so far. He has written two novels and won the Mao Dun Literature Award twice.

You must know that it was almost 20 years before he won the Mao Dun Literature Award again. One can imagine how difficult it is.
