Back to 80: My literary life

Chapter 285 The beautiful writer born in the 70s
Shanghai native, post-70s generation, female.
Fang Minghua tried hard to remember, and suddenly a name appeared in his mind like lightning.

He finally remembered who the girl he saw just now was!
Mianmian!

Wang Xin, formerly known as Wang Xin, is a native of Shanghai. He is a contemporary writer of the new generation. His representative works are the novel "Sugar" and his personal novel collection "La La La".

When later generations refer to the writers of the "post-70s" generation, the word "embarrassing" is most often used.

They did not catch up with the literary craze of the 80s, nor did they have the commercial effect of writers born in the s.

For those who don’t pay much attention to contemporary Chinese literature, writers born in the 50s and 60s will at least know about Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, etc.

Writers born in the 80s will know Han Han and Guo Jingming, but for the generation born in the 70s, they may not be able to name a single writer.

However, a group of beautiful writers emerged after the 70s, such as Wei Hui, Annie Baby, Mian Mian, etc., but when people introduce their literary creations, they often add the sentence: "Writing with the body," which is quite controversial.

Fang Minghua had seen Mianmian's masterpiece "Sugar". There was a photo on the cover: a girl wearing a black suspender and squatting with a cigarette in her hand was Mianmian herself.

Fang Minghua neither liked nor disliked this semi-autobiographical novel about Mianmian himself.

Then let this girl continue to experience her life.

The pain and confusion of adolescence, but when you look back after this period, you will find it ridiculous.

Fang Minghua did not answer.

After visiting Wang Meng, the two went to Yonghe Temple the next day to find Shi Tiiesheng. Shi Tiiesheng first congratulated them and told them happily: "Ximi and I plan to get married in September."

After settling the matter in the courtyard, Fang Minghua took Song Tangtang to visit Wang Meng. Unfortunately, the two of them arrived at Wang Meng's house on Jinsong Road, but Wang Meng was not there, and they were greeted by Wang Meng's lover, Teacher Cui.

The National People's Congress will be held soon and I will become a minister. How can I not be busy?

"The formalities have just been completed, and I have been transferred to Huaxia Publishing House as editor." Shi Tiesheng said with a smile on his face.

Fang Minghua doesn't know why Mianmian came to "Beijing" after graduating from high school, but after reading some of her resume, it seems that she wandered outside before graduating from high school, and only returned to Shanghai in the mid-1990s to start writing, and this was almost ten years ago. Years of wandering life are undoubtedly the material for her writing.

After staying at Shi Tiiesheng's house for a long time and eating mixed noodles made by his family, he returned to the General Political Courtyard in the afternoon.

Teacher Cui said that Wang Meng has been very busy recently and usually comes back very late.

"Okay, I'll call her now."

Putting down the gifts, the two sat for a while before saying goodbye.

"Has Teacher Chen been transferred to Yanjing?" Fang Minghua asked.

After dinner, Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang went out with gifts. On the way, Song Tangtang couldn't help but ask, "Minghua, why does Sister Zhu Lin live in her parents' house?"

Fang Minghua felt a little regretful. The next time he saw him, he would probably be the minister, let alone the minister.

Yes, very busy.

"Welcome, welcome." Zhu Lin sent a warm invitation on the phone.

"Then you have a double happiness. Tie Sheng, tell us when the wedding date is set. We will definitely come if you have time." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

No need to disturb.

Zhu Lin was transferred back to Yanjing Film Factory from Emei Film Factory last year. Fang Minghua quickly made a call and found out that he lived in the family building of Yanjing Institute of Technology, living with his parents.

"Minghua, let's go see my sister Zhu Lin tonight. I haven't seen her for a long time." Song Tangtang was very interested.

In fact, he already had the answer in his mind. It was probably that Zhu Lin was divorced.

However, in the past two years, apart from the occasional phone call, he and Zhu Lin had never met or had much contact with each other. It was hard to say much about other people's marriages.

Yenching Institute of Technology was later known as Yenching Institute of Technology. In Haidian, Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang rushed there by bus and met Zhu Lin in a family building in a teachers' community near the university. "Minghua, Tangtang, come on quickly." Zhu Lin greeted warmly.

It has been more than two years since I last saw him, and Zhu Lin is still so beautiful and graceful.

Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang walked in.

The house is not big, but full of bookish atmosphere.

Zhu Lin's father is a professor at Yenching Institute of Technology, and his mother is a doctor. They are both intellectuals. When he saw the two coming, he just said hello and returned to his bedroom.

The three of them started chatting in the living room.

Of course it’s a matter of TV series.

Because during the Spring Festival this year, the first 11 episodes of "Journey to the West" were released, causing a viewing frenzy.

"Sister Zhu Lin, the filming of "Journey to the West" is so beautiful. Why don't you act in it later? I haven't seen your scene yet, Sister Zhu Lin." Song Tangtang asked.

"I had no choice. I heard from Director Yang that CCTV was in urgent need, so I picked up the 11 already produced episodes and played them. The episode in which I played the role of the King of the Daughter Kingdom had not been recorded yet," Zhu Lin explained.

"Oh Sister Zhu Lin, you will look good as the king of the daughter country. You are a big star now, and your portraits are everywhere on the streets."

"Tangtang, what are you envious of? When Director Xie asked you to play Xiao Suizi in "Youth", you refused. If you had agreed at that time, with your appearance and intelligence, you would have become a big star. Maybe you would have become a big star. There are portraits all over the streets now.”

"I just liked to dance quietly and didn't want to be an actor."

"Now that I think about it, I think you did the right thing. Regardless of the superficial beauty of being an actor or star, who knows the pain and suffering behind it?"

"The more you gain, the more you lose." Zhu Lin finally said: "So I envy you very much. You and Minghua are so affectionate and in love together."

"Sister Zhu Lin, aren't you?" Song Tangtang asked.

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I'm divorced."

"Ah?!" Song Tangtang was surprised.

"We lived together for a long time, and our relationship with each other became weaker and weaker. We had no children, so we finally divorced. I moved back to my parents' house and left the house to him," Zhu Lin explained.

"Sister Zhu Lin, it's okay, you will find a more suitable one in the future." Song Tangtang comforted her.

"Forget it, I think Qian Zhongshu said something in "The Besieged City": Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city want to get in, and people in the city want to get out. Now that I'm out, I don't want to go in again and concentrate on doing it. Take good care of your career."

"Hey, Minghua, I remember you said that your award-winning "Crossing the Guandong" didn't want to be adapted into a TV series? Do you have any plans?" Zhu Lin changed the subject at the right time.

Fang Minghua smiled and shook his head.

To be honest, in the 1980s, the Mainland produced well-received and popular movies one after another, and a number of new film directors such as Wu Tianmin, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige emerged. However, there were only a few good TV series.

The most popular ones are the 86 version of "Journey to the West", followed by "Desire" and "Editor's Story" in the early s.

Lu Yao's "Ordinary World" was also adapted into a TV series in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but no one in later generations knows about it.

The filming was terrible.

There are no good directors.

Therefore, Fang Minghua was cautious about the adaptation of "Crossing Guandong".

No, just leave it alone.
