Literary Master 1978

Lin Chaoyang simply thought that he and Wu Zuxiang, one is diligent and eager to learn, paying for knowledge, and the other is forced by material things to seek spiritual transcendence.

We are all people with pursuits, mutual benefit, and must not be viewed from a utilitarian perspective.

When he came to the auditorium at night, several actors on the stage were rehearsing hard, and the number of people in the seats seemed to be much more than usual.

"Jian Gong!" Lin Chaoyang greeted Chen Jiangong, and looked around. There were at least forty or fifty students in the line. There were not so many people watching during the rehearsal.

"There are many people today, why are there so many people?"

Chen Jiangong seemed to be particularly energetic today, "That's right, there are a few more people!"

Lin Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, what do you mean? You are very crazy today, do you think today is the premiere?

Chen Jiangong glanced at his expression, and said nothing, and made way for Lin Chaoyang to look at the person sitting on the other side of him.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at him, not understanding what he was doing.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Jiangong's eyes were filled with a bit of contempt, as if he was "you kid who doesn't know a great man". Before he could say anything, the old man sitting on the other side of him suddenly shouted "Stop!"

The movements of several actors on the stage suddenly froze, and they looked at the old man in the audience at a loss.

The old man shouted to Liu Zhida on the stage: "The emotion is wrong, the emotion is wrong. You have to understand that your character is a villain, but no one thinks that they are a bad person. They all think that they have their own difficulties. Do you understand the difficulties? Why are you speaking the lines in a sinister way? Are you afraid that the audience will not see that you are a bad person?"

After he finished talking about Liu Zhida, he turned his attention to Wang Xiaoping, who played the role of the younger sister.

"Sister, you always read the lines so dryly, how can you impress the audience? The lines should be powerful and layered, and don't be afraid of exaggerated expressions.

Drama is a stage art. The audience is watching you from more than ten meters or even dozens of meters away. Your expression is so restrained, can they see it clearly?

The body movements should match your emotions. Think about how you usually speak when you are angry, and design some small ideas for yourself."

...

The old man spoke to the actors on the stage, not only confusing the young people on the stage, but also Lin Chaoyang in the audience.

"Who is this old man?"

Chen Jiangong kept it a secret, "Take a closer look, do you recognize him?"

Before Lin Chaoyang could speak, the old man who was standing in the audience and giving instructions just now might feel that he was not satisfied with what he said, and he took two steps at a time and went on stage to perform.

Just now, Lin Chaoyang was sitting and could only look at the old man's profile. Now that he was on the stage, he finally saw the old man's profile clearly.

Isn't this Mr. Qin Er?

Lin Chaoyang was familiar with the face on the stage not only in later generations, but also in the 1970s. In the past year since he came to Yanjing, he and Tao Yushu had been to the People's Art Theater at least four or five times. How could he not recognize Lan Tianye, one of the leaders of the People's Art Theater?

"Hey, why did you invite him?"

Seeing the surprise and surprise on Lin Chaoyang's face, Chen Jiangong was finally satisfied and said, "I told you, I write scripts, and that is inherited!"

Lin Chaoyang ignored Chen Jiangong's boastful tone and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me in detail? Do you have a relationship with the People's Art Theater? Or does your family have a personal relationship with Lan Tianye?"

"Neither." Lin Chaoyang always hit Chen Jiangong for no reason. Today, Lan Tianye was invited, and he finally raised his eyebrows and said, "I have a personal relationship with him."

"You?" Lin Chaoyang looked up and down, making Chen Jiangong feel a full sense of distrust.

"You are a dog-eyed guy. Why can't I get to know some famous actors?"

Lin Chaoyang nodded, "Yes, Qin Hui has three good friends!"

"You..." Chen Jiangong was choked by him and made up his mind to show off in front of people today.

Lan Tianye on the stage was busy directing the actors and didn't know that he had become Chen Jiangong's bragging capital.

It turned out that before taking the college entrance examination, Chen Jiangong had been digging coal in Muchengjian Coal Mine in Jingxi, but at that time, he had published several works and was an amateur author of the unit.

In 1974, the creative team of the People's Art Theater went to Muchengjian Coal Mine in Jingxi to create a media-themed drama to experience life in depth.

Knowing that there was an amateur author like Chen Jiangong in the coal mine and that he was familiar with the work and life of the coal unit, Liu Houming and Lan Yinhai, who came to experience life in the People's Art Theater, invited Chen Jiangong to join their temporary creative team.

Liu Houming is a playwright and children's literature writer, Lan Yinhai is an actor who switched to screenwriting halfway through his career, and Chen Jiangong learned a lot from them.

After that, Chen Jiangong became familiar with Liu Houming and Lan Yinhai, and then met Lan Tianye and Zhu Xu of the People's Art Theatre through them.

After listening to Chen Jiangong's acquaintance with Lan Tianye, Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "Sure, I haven't heard you talk about it before, and the people in your class don't know it either?"

"Yeah."

Whether it is students from the Chinese Department of the Class of 1977 or students from other departments of Yanda, the school organizes opportunities to go to the People's Art Theatre to watch dramas every year, and students will buy tickets to watch the plays themselves.

In this case, no one knew that Chen Jiangong knew several famous actors of the People's Art Theatre, which shows that Chen Jiangong is usually very low-key in the class.

Originally, Lin Chaoyang thought Chen Jiangong was quite reliable, but he felt something was wrong as he thought about it.

What about the f*cking secret you kept for me back then?

After seeing through the dissatisfaction in Lin Chaoyang's eyes, Chen Jiangong pointed his eyes at the stage with a guilty conscience, "Watch the rehearsal, watch the rehearsal!"

While the two were talking, Lan Tianye on the stage had already finished directing several amateur actors and walked off the stage.

The performance continued on the stage, and everyone did not exchange pleasantries, but continued to enjoy the rehearsal on the stage.

Lin Chaoyang noticed that after a while, the seats in the auditorium had become more and more full. It must be that everyone had heard about Lan Tianye's arrival.

Students at Yanda are not obsessed with movie stars, but with the boom in drama in recent years, everyone has great respect for drama actors, especially a group of veteran actors in Renyi.

"Teahouse", "Longxugou", "Thunderstorm"...

A large number of classic works have created a lofty status for this group of actors in the minds of students. They are called artists.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

After all, Lan Tianye has been immersed in the stage for decades. His arrival provided a lot of help to the rehearsals of "Conscience", giving the student drama that originally looked loose and loose a real flavor of a professional theater company.

In just a few minutes on stage, he seemed to have helped a few people on the stage break a layer of window paper.

We rehearsed twice more in the evening, and the performance of several people was actually better every time.

At the end, even the students who came to watch the fun couldn't help but applaud.

Hearing everyone's applause, Chen Jiangong felt reassured and whispered to Lin Chaoyang: "It is indeed right to ask Lao Lan for help."

The rehearsal ended at nine o'clock all night. The students in the back row were still unfinished, but they soon shifted their focus to Lan Tianye.

After the actors came off the stage, Lan Tianye greeted everyone generously. He spoke with great energy, with the unique accent of a drama actor, and his outstanding temperament, which won rounds of applause from the students in the audience.

After finally waiting for the students who were watching the excitement to leave, Chen Jiangong introduced Lin Chaoyang to Lan Tianye.

"Old Lan, this is Xu Lingjun, a young writer who is very popular in the literary world this year. His real name is Lin Chaoyang."

Lan Tianye wore a pair of brown glasses and had a hearty smile. He shook hands with Lin Chaoyang and said, "Hello, Comrade Chaoyang. I've seen you for a long time!"

"You're welcome. I've admired your name for a long time. I like your Mr. Qin since I often go to Renyi to watch plays. It's a pity that the number of performances is too few."

Lin Chaoyang's polite words tickled Lan Tianye, and he laughed and said, "We also want to perform a few more shows, but the theater also has arrangements."

"Yes, I understand."

After a few polite words, Chen Jiangong mentioned that Lin Chaoyang is also writing drama scripts. Lan Tianye said with a smile: "This is a great thing. Having a talented young author like Comrade Chaoyang enter the field of drama creation will benefit our drama career." It adds luster!”

The few of them chatted for a while. It was already a little late, so Chen Jiangong sent Lan Tianye away.

Two days later, Lin Chaoyang had just gotten off work and met Hong Zicheng at the door.

"Chaoyang!"

"Brother Zicheng, what are you..."

"I came here specifically to find you." Hong Zicheng said.

"Let's go, my family said."

Lin Chaoyang took Hong Zicheng to his home and chatted for a few words. Hong Zicheng took out a book from his briefcase.

"The book I co-authored has been published. I'll give you a copy."

When Hong Zicheng handed the book to Lin Chaoyang, his face was full of joy and pride.

"Overview of Contemporary Literature", this is the name of the book. When Lin Chaoyang opened the book, the first thing he saw was the author's name.

Zhang Zhong, Hong Zicheng, She Shusen, Zhao Zumo, Wang Jingshou.

"This book will be used as a teaching material for the Chinese Department of Yanda University in the future. The compilation is led by Teacher Zhang Zhong. I am responsible for the two chapters of poetry and short stories."

"Contemporary Literature Overview" is an academic work, and its content is mainly contemporary literature. Lin Chaoyang flipped through the catalog and found that it almost covered the works of all contemporary famous artists, but it seemed that the works were only included during the humming period.

Hong Zicheng pointed at Lin Chaoyang enthusiastically, "Turn back."

Lin Chaoyang turned to the "Postscript" at the end, and Hong Zicheng pointed out a paragraph of text to him with his hand.

"... Colleagues collaborated on the "Overview of Contemporary Literature". The only regret is that the development of contemporary Chinese literature after 1976 was not recorded. Subsequent revisions and expansions should be made in a few years.

Before the article was typed, Hong Zicheng was very emotional when he talked about discussing the development of contemporary literature with his friends. He mentioned the term "new era literature" to summarize the development process of contemporary Chinese literature after 1976. I personally agree with it deeply. During the subsequent revision process, it is discussed that the literary development in recent years should be summarized under the name of "new era literature".

I also asked about the name of my friend, and it turned out to be Xu Lingjun, the most influential young writer in the past two years. I would like to express my gratitude to him..."

Lin Chaoyang read this paragraph and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you would actually use it."

Hong Zicheng said happily: "Of course. You invented this word well. It doesn't have to be a waste of natural resources. I think it will definitely be regarded as the standard in contemporary literature in the future."

"Brother Zicheng is too praised!" Lin Chaoyang said modestly.

"How can it be an exaggeration? Naming 'New Era Literature' is a matter of immeasurable merit. This alone is worthy of being recorded in the history books of contemporary literature."

The corners of Lin Chaoyang's mouth curled up.

Okay, okay, educated people are always so fresh and refined when they praise others.
