The literary era since 1979

Chapter 337 Carrying Tiesheng to Northern Shaanxi
Four days have passed since the first day of the official revision of "Stewardess".

Wang Shuo was "locked" in the "small dark room" of Renwenshe Society, living in pain and despair every day.

After being "severely beaten" by the dialect, I finally realized that it is not easy to make a living in literature.

Finally, it was March 3th, the day when Fangyan was about to set foot in northern Shaanxi.

"Sister-in-law, I'll leave Wang Shuo to you and Zhu Wei."

At Yanjing Railway Station, Fangyan entrusted this solemnly.

"Just leave it to us, Iwako."

Chen Xiaoman glanced at Gong Xian, Shi Tiesheng and the others, "Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."

Fangyan nodded, and entered the train station with Gong Xing, Shi Lan and Shi Tiesheng. They saw a sea of ​​people, and people were arguing loudly in every corner.

The station staff responsible for maintaining order seemed to have gotten used to it all, and they raised their voices and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Make way, please make way!"

Gong Xing carried the suitcase and walked in front to lead the way, while also looking after Shi Lan, who was traveling far away for the first time.

Fangyan came up behind and acted as Shi Tiesheng's porter, half pushing and half carrying him all the way. Thanks to the help of the train police, Shi Tiesheng and his wheelchair were successfully lifted onto the train to northern Shaanxi and brought to their soft sleeper seats.

"You and Tiesheng will sleep on the lower bunk, and Xiaolan and I will sleep on the upper bunk. This way it will be safer."

Gong Xing said as he put his luggage away.

Shi Tiesheng readily agreed, and he and Shi Lan looked out the window together, their hearts pounding with excitement.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

With the sound of the rough whistle, the green train started slowly, and my thoughts drifted far away, as if I had drifted to Qingping Bay.

"Here, drink some water."

Fangyan took out an old-fashioned military kettle and poured water for Gong Xing and the others one by one.

When it was Shi Tiesheng's turn, his body swayed with the jolting of the carriage, and his mind also swayed with it:
"Iwako, thank you."

"Then you must thank me very much."

Fangyan said in a joking tone: "You are a lot heavier than before, so it is much harder to carry you!"

Shi Tiesheng laughed out loud, "This is called 'a happy heart and a fat body'."

Seeing them chatting idly, Gong Xing also took Shi Lan's hand and started chatting with her to relax her tense nerves.

"Continue writing science fiction?"

Shi Tiesheng was surprised. "I thought you would continue to work hard in the field of crime mystery and write a better realistic work than Malice."

"There's nothing we can do. Compared to detective fiction, science fiction is more urgent." Fang Yan shrugged. "Now is the critical period to revive science fiction. As for crime mystery, we have to first establish a journal dedicated to publishing detective fiction."

Shi Tiesheng took a sip of water and asked: "Does Renwen Press intend to start a journal?"

Fangyan shook his head with a smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

The two then started chatting about writers and literature at home and abroad. The topic became more and more divergent and soon attracted the attention of a young man passing by.

He wears glasses and looks gentle and refined. At first glance, you can tell that he is a "male intellectual" who loves literature.

“Are you reporters?”

"You can't say you're a reporter..."

Shi Tiesheng stammered.

The male intellectual's eyes were filled with passion: "Is that the editor of the magazine?"

Shi Tiesheng saw Fang Yan smiling but not saying anything, and narrowed his eyes: "I'm not, he is."

Unexpectedly, the male intellectual did not dwell on the dialect as he wished, but instead asked him about the matter: "So what is your job?"

Shi Tiesheng's face turned red and he could only say that he wrote some articles and could get some royalties.

Fangyan covered his mouth to hold back his laughter. At this time, people engaged in literary creation were embarrassed to call themselves writers, not to mention that Shi Tiesheng was a shy person.

When someone asks them about it, they all talk nonsense.

He was the only one whose talent was pinned to the side by this small problem.

Gong Xing pulled at the scarf covering her face and whispered, "Okay, stop just standing there and watching." Fang Yan smiled and said on behalf of Shi Tiesheng, "He's a screenwriter, a screenwriter who writes movie scripts."

"Movie screenwriter!"

The male intellectual was in awe of the two people in front of him. Just as he was about to ask more questions, the flight attendant appeared in time pushing a cart.

"Beer, drinks, mineral water, cigarettes, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, come on, comrade, make way..."

"How much are the peanuts?"

Seeing the young intellectual leave tactfully, Fangyan took out money to buy some peanuts for everyone and ate while chatting.

Shi Tiesheng peeled off the flower, "Yanzi, why do you say I am a 'film screenwriter'?"

"Aren't you?"

Fang Yan laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that you adapted your novel "The Corner Without Sun" into a movie?"

Shi Tiesheng slapped his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten this? If someone asks me about this next time, I will answer like this!"

Fangyan threw the peanuts into his mouth and said, "Our destination this time is Xi'an Film Studio, and your identity as a screenwriter is suitable for this field."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the carriage.

…………

The closer he got to northern Shaanxi, the calmer Shi Tiesheng felt.

Being pushed in a wheelchair by Fang Yan, he came out of the train station and ran into Mo Shen who had been waiting for a long time.

"Old Mo!"

"Hey, Yanzi, and Tiesheng!"

"This is Tiesheng's sister, Xiaolan."

Fang Yan and Gong Xing looked at each other and said, "As for this person..."

"Now I should call you sister-in-law."

Mo Shen apologized, "I really couldn't spare the time and couldn't go to Yanjing to attend your wedding."

Gong Xing shook his head and glanced at Fang Yan, who then changed the subject to Wu Tianming. "Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

Mo Shen said, "Director Wu asked me to apologize. I have something urgent to do and cannot come to greet you in person."

Fang Yan asked, "Did something big happen at Xiying Studio?"

"It's not big or small. The boss has instructed the Xi'an Film Studio to organize a film creation conference with the theme of 'Facing the Great Northwest, Developing New Western Films'. When the time comes, film critics, directors, and screenwriters from all over the country will be invited to participate."

Mo Shen said, "You guys are definitely going to be indispensable."

Shi Tiesheng was very interested: "You really came early. It would be better if you came by chance. You can bump into this."

"you do not say."

Mo Shen lowered his voice and said, "Guixin Film Studio and Emei Film Studio have called in the past two days to ask if you will attend the conference."

Fangyan vaguely guessed their purpose, probably because they came for "The Ring" and the commercialization of entertainment films.

After all, after the People's Daily published a news commentary that "science and technology are the primary productive forces", science fiction literature became popular. "Science Fiction World" and "The Ring", which reignited the fire of science fiction literature, were naturally highly sought after and became popular all over the country.

Sales and popularity are rising rapidly, and it is hard not to attract crazy attention from studios across the country!
"Yanzi, hehe, do you think we in Xi'an Film Studio have such an opportunity?" Mo Shen said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Let's finish filming Da Qin first. We have to take one step at a time. If we take too big a step, we'll easily get into trouble."

Fang Yan patted his shoulder and said softly, "How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

Mo Shen smiled and said, "It's settled, we're just waiting to go play football."

Shi Tiesheng looked left and right, "What are you two talking about?"

Fangyan smiled and said, "We are discussing which university to go to to play football."

"Yes, that's right."

Mo Shen vowed that the venue for playing football would be Northwestern University.

When he heard the name of this school, Shi Tiesheng was suddenly stunned, his eyes dull, as if he had stopped thinking.
