1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 602 Can I Not Know?

Zheng Guo's trickery failed again, and he was even more depressed when he was ridiculed by everyone.

In the end, he said helplessly, "Tie Sheng's works have also been included in the scope of the editorial committee's investigation this year. Maybe next time the textbook is revised, you will be able to see his works on it."

Everyone couldn't help looking at Shi Tiesheng when they heard the words.

"Tie Sheng is fine, he will soon be a great writer in textbooks!"

Shi Tiesheng waved his hand helplessly, "They just said they were included in the inspection scope, but they didn't say that they would be selected. Even if they were selected, they might not know what year it will be."

"I don't think it's a big problem. Tiesheng's situation is different from others'. The new nine-year compulsory textbook is mainly divided into three parts: ancient, modern, and foreign. There are very few works by contemporary writers. Even if there are, they are old guys who have been active since the Anti-Japanese War.

Compared with the novels of the predecessors, the works published in recent years have not been tested for a long time, and the editorial board will definitely proceed with caution.

The advantage of Tiesheng is that his strength is prose, and he has a lot of space. In my opinion, "Grandma's Star", "Autumn Memories" and "I and the Temple of Earth" all meet the requirements of textbooks. "

Zheng Guo's analysis won everyone's unanimous approval. A group of people bluffed and congratulated, and clamored for treats, as if this matter had already been realized, which made Shi Tiesheng dumbfounded.

The lively party lasted until before nine o'clock in the evening, not because everyone didn't want to gather more, but because of Shi Tiesheng's health.

The textbook Zheng Guo brought was given to Lin Weimin by him.

On the way home, Tao Huimin was holding the textbook with a smile on her lips.

"Are you so happy?" He asked puzzled.

"Of course you should be happy! This is a textbook. Even if your novel sells 100 million copies, after ten years, no one will remember it. But it is different if it is in a textbook. It will become a must-read work for every generation of Chinese. It may be an exaggeration to say that it will last forever, but it will definitely last for a hundred years."

When Tao Huimin said this, his face was shining with pride and arrogance, which made Lin Weimin feel a little bit in his heart.

Back home, Tao Huimin couldn't wait to show off this to her mother.

Mother Tao was a little excited when she heard that her son-in-law's novel had been included in the textbook. She flipped through the textbook with her daughter, and the grand sister beside her looked at Lin Weimin with reverence in her eyes.

Two days later, Jiang Wen's movie was officially launched, and Michael Phillips came to Yanjing from the United States.

The film was adapted from Wang Shuo's "Fresh Animals", and the name was changed to "Sunny Day".

The opening ceremony was very grand. Jiang Wen bought a bunch of firecrackers from outside, which shocked everyone in the crew to run tens of meters away, watching the firecrackers from a distance for half an hour.

The start-up ceremonies of the other production crews are symbolic, and work starts the next day. When Jiang Wen arrived, the grand start-up ceremony was completed and the filming started immediately.

Lin Weimin used to think that Jiang Wen's artistic pursuit was a bit different from ordinary people, but today he finally realized that this guy is different from ordinary people.

The first scene when it was turned on was the scene of Ma Xiaojun and a group of boys in the bathroom.

The actors in "Sunny Day" are not very old, and very few of them are professional actors. In order to let this group of young people better integrate into the performance of the movie, Jiang Wen sent these young people to a military car regiment in Liangxiang, a suburb of Beijing, three months in advance.

There, Jiang Wen put these young people in military uniforms, cut off all contact with the outside world, let them listen to revolutionary songs every day, read newspapers from 30 or [-] years ago, and watch old Soviet movies.

The purpose is to allow this group of young people to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of that era and replace performance with life.

It's a pity that this group of young people is filming for the first time. Facing the dark camera, everyone's expression, movement and tone become unnatural. One by one, an uncomplicated scene was filmed more than ten times in a daze.

Standing together with Michael Phillips, Lin Weimin frowned involuntarily as he watched the director Jiang Wen, who was also a melon egg, wasting film for a bathhouse scene.

"Jiang Ke is really a director who strives for excellence. It seems that I have chosen the right person." Before Lin Weimin could speak, Michael Phillips sighed.

Lin Weimin looked at Michael Phillips, it seems that this buddy has not realized the seriousness of the matter!

Michael Phillips will stay in Yanjing for about half a month this time, and there is still plenty of time. Lin Weimin believes that he will come to his senses.

After watching for almost two hours, Wang Shuo walked over bored, "Wei Min, when will you leave?"

"Go now!"

Lin Weimin didn't want to waste time with Jiang Wen. He knew very well that with Jiang Wen's pissing nature, how could he be willing to spend a few days on the first scene and waste one or two thousand feet of film?
Anyway, with Michael Phillips around, let him see it first.

After leaving the set, Wang Shuo got into Lin Weimin's car.

"Having made so much money, why don't you plan to buy a car and drive?" Lin Weimin joked.

"I can't drive."

"That's a pity, so much money has no place to spend."

"You are just jealous!" Wang Shuo replied with a few words.

Wang Shuo's anthology has been released for the first year, and it has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. This year, he took more than 100 million yuan in royalties alone, and he was completely shaken.

For a writer, you really can’t let him have money. Once he has money, first of all, the output of his works will definitely decrease, and he will be surrounded by a group of people who are centered on him.

Wang Shuo was like this, he didn't write anything decent at all in this year, he ate, drank and played every day, making waves in Yanjing's literary and art circles.

Recently, he met a group of people in the music circle and planned to make a music album.

It's not that he wanted to sing on a whim, but that he planned to do something different.

The twelve songs planned for the album are all named after novels written by Wang Shuo. Wang Shuo will write the lyrics, and then find someone to compose the music. The singers invited are all well-known singers in the literary and art circles of Yanjing.

Na Ying, Zhu Hua, Han Lei, Jing Gangshan, Tengger...

These days, writers belong to the top of the food chain in the domestic literary and art circles, especially Wang Shuo is still a popular fried chicken among writers, even though they know that Wang Shuo is playing for tickets, everyone is willing to sell him this face.

This time I came back to participate in the opening ceremony of "Sunny Day". Wang Shuo also had a trick with Jiang Wen, but it took a while before the filming took place.

To sum up Wang Shuo's life in the past year, he does not need oars for rowing - it all depends on waves.

Two days after "Sunny Day" was launched, good news came from the Venice Film Festival, which is being held overseas.

Zhang Yimou won the Silver Lion Award at this year's Venice Film Festival with "Raise the Red Lantern".

Although there is a slight gap from winning the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival four years ago, it is still the grand prize of one of the three major film festivals in Europe.

Winning the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival has once again consolidated Zhang Yimou's position in the Chinese film world, and made his name resound in the world film circle again, taking another step closer to the status of a master.

"Raise the Red Lantern" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. In addition to Zhang Yimou's success, there is another person who has become famous because of this, and that is Su Tong, the original author and screenwriter of the film.

Su Tong is the pen name of Tong Zhonggui. He started writing poetry in the early 80s, and switched to writing novels in the mid-80s. He has emerged in the domestic literary world for several years.

"Raise the Red Lantern" is adapted from his novella "Wives and Concubines". Now that the movie has won an award, he has also benefited from it.

Colleagues clamored for Tong Zhonggui to treat guests, Tong Zhonggui ran to Lin Weimin's office to ask him to go with him, Lin Weimin readily agreed.

After the [-]th, Donglaishun's business has recovered a lot, and in another month or so, it will be full.

Colleagues from the editorial department of "Contemporary" gathered in Donglaishun again, and everyone was a little stunned.

The old comrades in the editorial department have retired a lot, Lin Weimin has also been promoted to the editor-in-chief, and Lao Rong has passed away. Speaking of the changes in these years, everyone can't help but sigh.

"That's enough. Today is for Xiao Tong's celebration, not to listen to you old guys reminiscing about the past." Lin Weimin said.

After he said this, it immediately aroused strong condemnation from everyone.

"You young people are promoted, those who get rich get rich, and those who are famous are famous, why don't we old guys be allowed to complain?"

"That's right. Now that I'm a leader, my heart is dark, and I don't even let people say anything."

Slandering the leaders belongs to the old tradition of the editorial department of "Contemporary".

Lin Weimin used to be the one who took the lead, but now it is different, he is the one who gets scolded.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, he comforted himself in his heart.

After scolding the leader, this group of people had a lot of understanding, and then they chatted about the family's shortcoming and daily necessities.

Yanjing has changed a lot in recent years. In order to host the Asian Games in 90, the whole city became a large construction site.

The Asian Games Village, the North Fourth Ring Road, and the Second Ring Expressway, although these projects were all built for the Asian Games, have firmly changed the lives of ordinary people.

Of course, hosting the Asian Games will have the biggest impact on the people of Yanjing or housing prices.

In the past few years, the government has been promoting the reform of the housing system. As a special zone, Hainan is at the forefront of the country.

In just a few years, more than 2 real estate companies have been established in Hainan, and 10 talents have come to Hainan. Housing prices have risen from 400 yuan per square meter to 5000 yuan per square meter.

The real estate boom in Hainan is just a microcosm of the national real estate industry. Housing prices in most areas are not as fierce as those in Hainan, but they have indeed risen significantly compared with previous years.

As the capital, Yanjing has been stimulated by the Asian Games. After the Asian Games, a large number of commercial houses including the Asian Games Village entered the market, which greatly stimulated the real estate market in Yanjing.

The housing prices in Yanjing broke through 2000 yuan per square meter in a short period of time. At this time, the monthly wages of ordinary workers in Yanjing were only 300 yuan. In conversion, an office worker can buy a house of [-] square meter without food or drink for a year, which is simply lawless.

Over the past year, a number of media have written articles bombarding the high housing prices in Yanjing, and some experts have given advice to the common people, saying that now that the housing prices are so high, it is better to buy than to rent, and they have settled a score for the common people.

To buy a standard unit building, the house price needs to be 2000 yuan if the house price is 100 yuan/square meter and the house area is 20 square meters.

If the money is deposited in the bank, the current three-year annualized interest rate is 9%, and a deposit of 20 yuan will have an interest of 1 yuan a year, which is more than enough to pay rent and house rent.

Moreover, after buying a house, there are expenses such as decoration, heating, elevator fees, and cleaning fees. On average, it costs at least a thousand yuan a year, which is also a heavy burden for many families.

So overall, experts believe that renting is worse than buying.

Yao Shuzhi instilled expert advice into everyone, and she was spitting all over the place.

Lin Weimin couldn't help asking, "Shuzhi, you didn't hear Xiaowei say that, did you?"

Yao Shuzhi glanced at Lin Weimin, "How do you know?"

how could I know?

Can I not know?
