1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 352 Symposium on "Furong Town"
As Mo Yan spoke, he took out a stack of thick manuscripts from his bag.

Lin Weimin's face immediately burst into a smile. Which editor would not like this kind of author?

"Is this finished?"

Mo Yan had a slight smile on his face, "It's finished."

This "Red Sorghum Family" is Mo Yan's first attempt to write a novel. When he entered the military arts last year, he already had an idea. During his school time, except for studying, most of his spare time was devoted to this novel. in creation.

A total of 30 words is a very big test for him, the creator of the longest novella that has only written tens of thousands of words.

In the creation of "Red Sorghum Family", Mo Yan took a trick and divided his whole novel into five chapters, "Red Sorghum", "Sorghum Wine", "Dog Road", "Sorghum Funeral", "Odd die".

Each chapter is independent and closely connected, and each has its own focus.

The first of them, "Red Sorghum", was published in the form of a novella in "Bafang" shortly after Mo Yan followed Lin Weimin to visit Xiangjiang.

The successful publication of "Red Sorghum" made Mo Yan full of motivation. He returned to military art and kept working hard. In just three or four months, he created the entire novel.

It took Lin Weimin an afternoon to read half of the novel.

When he was reading the manuscript, Mo Yan huddled on the sofa in the office. Unlike other authors who came to the editorial department, he seldom actively chatted with the editors, so he just sat there quietly.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lin Weimin said: "I won't be able to finish reading the manuscript for a while, and I will write to you when everyone finishes reading it. It just so happens that Yu Hua and the others are also on vacation, so I will take you to Tiesheng's house for dinner in the evening. "

Mo Yan nodded and followed Lin Weimin into the car.

When I came to the National Academy of Letters to meet Yu Hua, he immediately followed Mo Yan.

"Go back to Xiangjiang, how can you go?"

Mo Yan was confused, "Why can't I go?"

"If you can go, I can go too."

Mo Yan looked at Yu Hua speechlessly.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but lash out: "Mo Yan studied military art, and in less than a year he finished a long novel, how about you?"

Shock was written all over Yu Hua's face, "Big novel? When did it happen?"

"I just handed over the manuscript to Teacher Lin." Mo Yan replied honestly.

Yu Hua's eyes couldn't help casting towards Lin Weimin, he couldn't believe it was true.

"It's also going to school. You look at Mo Yan, and you look at you. The teacher of your liberal arts college told me that there are so many students in the liberal arts college, and they can't look at you when they are writing. As long as there is an activity, you are better than anyone else." Positive, not falling in every game, people gave him the nickname 'King of Support'!"

Yu Hua whispered, "I... I am also keen on learning. This... These activities are very educational."

Lin Weimin shook his head, only Teacher Tang Yuqiu said that he was exactly like him, how could he look like him?When I was in the Literary Research Institute, I was a three-good student!

"Stop deceiving yourself here. Tiesheng is so inconvenient, he has written more than you. This year has passed more than half, right? Apart from two short stories, what else have you written?"

Facts speak louder than words, and Yu Hua was left speechless by Lin Weimin.

Now I'm honest, and I don't clamor "Why can't I go to Xiangjiang".

When he arrived at Shi Tiesheng's home, he was very excited when he heard that Mo Yan had finished writing his novel.

"I'll have to take a good look at it when it's published!"

When several people visited Xiangjiang, Shi Tiesheng already knew that Mo Yan was writing "Red Sorghum Family", but he didn't expect his efficiency to be so fast.

The 30-word novel was written in such a short period of time.

"For the sake of the people, Mo Yan's efficiency is at least seven times as effective as yours!" Shi Tiesheng teased.

Lin Weimin patted Mo Yan on the shoulder, "It's not just [-] percent, but [-] percent. Among the authors I'm in charge of, Mo Yan is the only one in terms of writing efficiency."

Lin Weimin's compliment made Mo Yan smile so happily that his small eyes were almost invisible.

Yu Hua on the side was full of jealousy.

After dinner at Shi Tiesheng's house, they sent Yu Hua back to the College of Arts, and Mo Yan back to Weigong Village.

Lin Weimin returned home, and Tao Huimin was sitting on the sofa studying the script.

Under the light, his icy muscles and bones look like a frightened bird.

Teacher Lin is very happy to see his girlfriend loves learning so much.

But studying alone is a bit lonely after all. With Teacher Lin here, how can Tao Huimin be allowed to study alone?

We should learn from each other, and teaching and learning can benefit each other.

What Mr. Lin likes most is to teach by precept and deed, especially for a good student like Tao Huimin who is very serious about learning.

That night, Teacher Lin not only popularized the length and thickness of the golden cudgel in "Journey to the West" to Tao Huimin, but also explained to him the correct use of the golden cudgel.

For example, Mr. Lin explained the question of how many sticks Sun Houzi used to kill the Bone Demon very vividly, and even tried it himself, so that Tao Huimin quickly mastered the correct use of the golden cudgel.

The golden cudgel is in her hand, it can be big or small, soft or hard, with endless changes.

The next morning, Tao Huimin was still a little uncomfortable when she woke up. She studied so hard last night that she neglected her body.

She still had to go to filming today, so she could only struggle to get out of bed. After eating, Lin Weimin asked Lin Weimin to drive her to the set.

After seeing off Tao Huimin, Lin Weimin came to work at the Guowen Society.

Seeing Lu Yao coming back from the outside with his arms swaying, Lin Weimin asked, "Did you go out for breakfast again?"

Lu Yao quickly explained: "I eat tofu and fried dough sticks."

"Why are you nervous? I didn't say anything else to you."

Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is the manuscript changed?"

"Come on, come on!"

As soon as Lin Weimin heard this, he knew that he must not believe it. He knew Lu Yao's temperament too well, and he also knew that it was useless to urge him.

Although Lu Yao is usually unreliable, he is still very self-disciplined when it comes to writing.

In the afternoon, Gu Hua, Lin Weimin's classmate at the Institute of Literature, came to the editorial department of "Contemporary".

"How did you come?"

After not seeing Gu Hua for a long time, Lin Weimin was pleasantly surprised.

Gu Hua dressed in the dust, and said, "Director Xie Jin is going to adapt my "Furong Town" and is going to hold a symposium tomorrow."

Lin Weimin said happily: "I've heard about this a long time ago, it's a great thing!"

Gu Hua nodded, his face was full of joy, and he said, "Will you help me stand up for the symposium?"

"I'll go? Isn't it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate, you are also the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary" anyway. You don't know, the standard of this symposium is very high. The official representatives include Mr. Chen and Xu Sangchu, the director of Shanghai Film Studio.

Representatives from the literary and art circles include film critics Zhong Dianli and Li Tuo, Xiangjiang director Xu Anhua, general manager of Xiangjiang Southern Film Company Xu Dunle..."

Lin Weimin listened to the music, and there are quite a few acquaintances here.

Gu Hua repeatedly begged, and Lin Weimin finally said, "Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow, where is the address?"

"Jingxi Hotel."

The next day, Lin Weimin drove to Jingxi Hotel after sending Tao Huimin to the set.

As soon as he entered the hotel yard, he saw Ah Cheng supporting an old man up the stairs.

"Ah Cheng!" Lin Weimin called out.

"teacher LIN!"

Ah Cheng looked surprised, and introduced him: "This is my father, Zhong Dianque. This is Lin Weimin, the editor-in-chief of "Contemporary". My novels were published by him."

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Lin!" Zhong Dian Torre said kindly.

"Uncle Zhong, you are welcome. Ah Cheng's works are excellent, and it is our honor to be published in our publication."

Father Zhong was very happy to hear others praise his son. They chatted and walked into the conference room where the symposium was held.

The conference room on the third floor of Jingxi Hotel is very large, with the appearance of hundreds of square meters. There is a banner on the wall that reads "Symposium on Adaptation of the Movie "Furong Town"". chairs.

At this time, several people were already sitting in the conference room, the leader was a man who looked very capable. Director Xie Jin stood up and introduced.

"This is Xu Sangchu, director of Shanghai Film Studio!"

When Lin Weimin was introduced, Xu Sangchu greeted him, "Writer Lin is a member of our Shanghai Film Studio!"

"Oh? Where did Director Xu start?" Xie Jin asked.

Xu Sangchu said: "Writer Lin's brother-in-law Han Dingbang is the old director of our factory."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a fate."

Several people talked and laughed, and introduced several other people in the conference room.

Li Tuo is a writer by profession, but in the past few years he has done everything except his profession.

Screenwriters, editors, literary critics, film critics, should be regarded as miscellaneous now, and they are very influential in the literary circle of Yanjing.

The middle-aged man sitting next to Li Tuo looked familiar to Lin Weimin. Xie Jin introduced him as Huang Jianzhong, and Lin Weimin immediately remembered that this is a good partner for "Zuo Shandiao"!

There is also Dong Dingshan, an American essayist who enjoys the reputation of "Ambassador of Chinese and American Literature".

After a group of people greeted each other, Lin Weimin found a corner and sat down.

After a few minutes, Xu Anhua walked into the conference room, and was slightly surprised to see Lin Weimin, so she took the initiative to sit next to Lin Weimin.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?" Xu Anhua asked.

"I should ask you this. Aren't you preparing for "Lover?"

"The preparation of "Lover" relied on the efforts of the Shanghai Film Studio. I happened to be in Shanghai, and Director Xu asked me to come and support me." Xu Anhua explained.

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I'm pretty much the same. Gu Hua and I are classmates at the Institute of Literature and Literature, so we came here to support the scene."

The two whispered a few words, and then someone pushed the door in again.

Everyone in the conference room stood up, "Old Chen", "Old Chen!"

Because there were too many people, Mr. Chen didn't greet everyone one by one, but just smiled and waved to everyone, and sat in the seat prepared for him in advance.

Sitting on the seat, just after talking to Xu Sangchu, seeing Lin Weimin huddled in the corner, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he waved to Lin Weimin, and said, "Xiao Lin, sit forward! Don't act like a Like a doormat, that's not your character!"

Hearing his words, Lin Weimin got up and walked forward a few seats, and said with a smile, "Today is the home game for Director Xu, Director Xie and Gu Hua, and I just came here to cheer."

"Then you go back a little bit!" Mr. Chen joked.

"Look at what you said. They have already called people over, so there is no reason to push them back."

Lin Weimin joked with Mr. Chen unscrupulously, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was brisk.

A few juniors on the side looked at him with jealousy.

After a while, the symposium officially began.

The three places on both sides of the strait are full of clothes.Mr. Chen first set the tone for this symposium: to make a movie that profoundly reflects the past era and is both historical and artistic.

"Furong Town" was invested and filmed by Shanghai Film Studio. Xu Sangchu, as the host, opened the scene first, and then the author of the novel, Gu Hua, gave a talk about the creative background.

In the second half of Gu Hua's talk, he mentioned his experience in revising the manuscript of "Contemporary", and he asked Lin Weimin to talk about it.

Everyone applauded, Lin Weimin could only speak: "Then I will simply say something."

"What Gu Hua said just now is correct. We were both studying at the Literature Research Institute back then. When he went to "Contemporary" to revise the manuscript, not only me, but also Lu Yao, everyone gathered to talk about literature...

Sorry to go a little far.

Back to the novel I just mentioned.By the end of the novel, Gu Hua's energy was obviously not exhausted.

He still needs to complete the personality of the male protagonist Qin Shutian, and he must be reinstated as an official. I think this is unnecessary.

When the movie ends, Qin Shutian doesn’t need the official reinstatement. He helps the heroine Hu Yuyin to sell rice tofu is a relationship established in accordance with the morality they destroyed, not after they destroyed it, they just came out and entered another moral order. in...

With regard to these two opinions, I would like to ask everyone to criticize and advise. "

Lin Weimin came here purely to join in the fun, and after he briefly said something, he clicked on Ah Cheng.

"Ah Cheng, tell me."
