Back to 80: My literary life

Chapter 129 Literature and film are always inseparable?

It doesn’t have to be a director. Directors, screenwriters, and producers of the Best Story Award can all come to receive it. This award is not awarded to one person.

Sure enough, the host read out a lot of titles for Fang Minghua: writer, film screenwriter, editor of "Yanhe" magazine, winner of the second outstanding novella and the 83rd annual outstanding short story.
  There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

"Comrade Fang Minghua, do you have anything to say to everyone?" the host asked.

This is the acceptance speech.

"First of all, I would like to thank the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards and all the staff of this award ceremony. It is your hard work that made such a successful party possible."

Fang Minghua continued with a smile on his face: "At the same time, I would also like to thank Director Tian Min, Zhu Lin, Li Baotian and other wonderful performances, and all the comrades in the "Into the Dust" crew. This trophy belongs to everyone on the crew, thank you."

There was thunderous applause.

When Fang Minghua returned to his seat, Zhu Lin next to him was very excited: "Xiao Fang, what you said is so good!"

"Don't forget, Zhu Lin, Xiaofang recently participated in an award for outstanding novels at the Great Hall of the People and was interviewed by reporters." Teng Wenji from the side intervened.

"Director Teng, don't mention that." Fang Minghua said quickly.

no way.

After I solicited articles for the magazine in front of reporters and was published in the newspaper, the number of submissions to the magazine increased significantly, but unfortunately it attracted ridicule from my colleagues.

Even Jia Pingwa, the editor of "Chang'an", said the same thing when she saw him: "Xiao Fang, this advertisement is so high-end, it's actually in the Great Hall of the People! It's unprecedented and I'm sure there will be no more."

Fang Minghua was speechless.

I could only comfort myself.

He is so envious and jealous!

Next are Best Documentary, Best Scientific and Educational Film, and Best Art Film.
  The most critical Best Director Award is here!

"Comrade Wu Yigong, the director of the film "Old Stories in the South of the City" which won this year's Best Director Award!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was another round of applause in the venue.

Wu Tianmin did not win the award!
  Fang Minghua secretly glanced at Teng Wenji next to him and saw a hint of disappointment on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and applauded with everyone.

In fact, this is reasonable.

The reason is that "Old Things in the South" filmed by Wu Yigong is so classic that even if you watch it thirty years later, it will still be a rare masterpiece.

And the classic song "Farewell".

The innocent appearance of the little girl Eiko in the play left a very deep impression on people.

But strangely, Shen Jie, who plays Yingzi, was not nominated for Best Actress, but Zheng Zhenyao, who played Song Ma, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

I don't understand.

Next up was Best Screenplay: Fang Minghua indeed!

Second time on stage to receive the award!
  There was another round of applause from the audience.

Fang Minghua stood up and shook hands with several colleagues around him to accept each other's congratulations. When passing by the front row, a middle-aged woman sitting next to him took the initiative to shake hands with her.

Chen Rong, the author of "Middle Age" and the screenwriter of the movie of the same name, was also nominated for Best Screenplay this time.

"Xiao Fang, congratulations." Chen Rong said.

"Thank you, Sister Chen. Your movie "Middle Age" is quite well written and well adapted!" Fang Minghua said modestly.

"Let's talk about literature if we have a chance."

"Ok."

Fang Minghua continued to walk forward. He was not complimenting Chen Rong just now. He had not seen the movie, but he had read the novel, which was published in Harvest magazine in 1980.

Showing the difficult life and survival dilemma of a generation of intellectuals, it won the first National Outstanding Novella Award and was later selected as "The Most Influential Novel in the 40th Anniversary of China's Reform and Opening Up."

What’s more interesting is that the novel breaks the traditional writing method of structuring the story according to the time and space sequence of the development of the characters’ activities, and tries the stream of consciousness writing method!
  Of course, when you get on stage, you receive the award and give your acceptance speech.

Fang Minghua took the microphone and said: "Literature and film have always been inseparable. The main soul of film is the script, but we must also transcend literature and strive to maximize the potential of film!"

There was thunderous applause.

As of now, he is the only one present at the award ceremony.

He seemed to be the only person at the entire party.

"Xiao Fang, now you are famous." Zhu Lin couldn't help but start teasing.

"Sister Zhu Lin, don't worry, you will be famous next." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

There was actually no vacancy for Best Actor, so the Best Actress award was directly announced!
  When Zhu Lin heard this, he immediately became nervous and stared at the list in the host's hand:

"The best actresses this year are Pan Hong who starred in "Middle Age" and Zhu Lin who starred in "Into the Dust"! We invite two lesbians!"

“Wow, I really won an award!”

Zhu Lin was so excited that he grabbed Fang Minghua's hand and wouldn't let go.

"Sister Zhu Lin, hurry up and receive the award." Fang Minghua reminded and gently pulled out his hand.

"Yeah." Zhu Lin calmed down, immediately returned to his usual dignity, stood up and walked to the stage.

"Is she Zhu Lin? Playing Cao Guiying? I really can't tell."

"Yes, she is so beautiful."

The people around started whispering again.

This time, Zhu Lin no longer felt his face burning.

The third Golden Rooster Awards came to an end with a round of applause. The biggest winners should be the three films "Into the Dust", "Old Stories in the South of the City" and "Camel Xiangzi", each of which won three awards.

Of course, the most outstanding one was Zhu Lin. Dressed in a red dress and holding the Golden Rooster trophy, she appeared on the CCTV program report the next day and in major newspapers. She was extremely beautiful.

Overshadowing Comrade Fang Minghua, who has the most titles and is the youngest winner of this year’s Golden Rooster Awards.

After the award ceremony, the organizing committee also organized the winners to visit Mawei Shipyard the next day. Fang Minghua took the opportunity to get to know a group of famous people in the film and television industry.

Niu Ben, Pan Hong, Siqin Gaowa.
  Most people came to Rongcheng for the first time and wanted to take this opportunity to go shopping, such as Pan Hong, Siqin Gaowa, and Best Supporting Actress Zheng Zhenyao, so Zhu Lin made an appointment with them to go shopping together, and even invited Fang Ming to magnificent.

I'm so excited.

I’m just a man, so don’t I become a party representative?

Fang Minghua declined and prepared to act alone, but the lesbians were unwilling.

"What's wrong with going shopping with lesbians? Comrade Xiao Fang, why are you so feudal at such a young age?" The critic was Zheng Zhenyao, who won the Best Supporting Actress Award for her role as Song Ma in "Old Stories in the South". Turn over forty.

Why.
  It seems there is no way to escape.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you go shopping, but after hearing that Zhu Lin and the others discussed going to Honghu Department Store tomorrow, Taijiang Farmers Market immediately felt that his legs were shaking a little.

What I hate the most is visiting shopping malls!

Is it really impossible to escape?
  But what surprised him was that two college students suddenly came to see him at night.
