A widower's entertainment

Chapter 138 [The wind is everywhere] (please subscribe)

Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

Lin Zhaomei said that he wanted to go and watch a movie, and Lin Youcheng was indeed considering it, but he knew very well that if he went, he couldn't just take Lin Zhaomei with him.

However, what if we take them all with us to Shanghai?

Lin Youcheng felt that the picture was not too beautiful to imagine, but a bit scary and he didn't want to imagine it.

After all, Lin Zhaole was only two years old in July, and Lin Zhaohuan was only four years old. He really had no confidence in taking six carrot heads on a long trip.

Lin Youcheng is considering taking Lin Zhaoxi, Lin Zhaoqing, and Lin Zhaomei's three siblings. These three are already in school. If he takes them to Shanghai during the summer vacation, can it be regarded as a study tour?

Of course, it is still early to start shooting the "Wind" movie, so Lin Youcheng is naturally not in a hurry to make a decision yet.

Although Lin Youcheng has not yet gone to Shanghai, the Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles has invited Lin Youcheng to participate in the seminar of the Hunan Writers Association.

In fact, Lin Youcheng, a newly emerging writer, is well-known in China. After all, even directors like Li Hanxiang have read the novels written by Lin Youcheng. It is conceivable that Lin Youcheng is still a newcomer. How popular is a writer less than two years old?

If it weren't for the fact that the National Outstanding Short Story Award is now held every two years, Lin Youcheng's previously published "Love Letter" and "Wonderful Things in the World" might have won the award again. The Hunan Writers Association has always invited Lin Youcheng. Cheng participated in some association activities, and even asked Lin Youcheng last year if he wanted to run for the directorship of the Hunan Writers Association, but Lin Youcheng declined at that time.

Zhang Jiefang from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was very close to Lin Youcheng, and he went to Chunfeng Lane to invite Lin Youcheng to attend the Writers Association's seminar.

"Among the six award-winning works in the first Contradiction Literature Award, we in Hunan Province accounted for two. Now I also plan to recommend your works "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "The Strange Events in the World" this time."

Because Lin Youcheng had to take care of his own children, he had no time or energy to worry about the association.

Lin Youcheng was not surprised that the recommended works were "The Devotion of Suspect Even though "The Devotion" is controversial, its reasoning structure shocked the literary world and can definitely be said to have had a great influence on domestic literature. Otherwise, it would not have won the National Outstanding Novella Award.

Once literature is alienated into a form of judgment, the three-dimensional and complex aesthetic space of literature is ignored and becomes a tool to make "writers" famous.

The first Mao Dun Literary Award was for literary works from 1977 to 1981. The winners were "Xu Mao and His Daughters" and "Furong Town". Now the second selection is for literary works from 1982 to 1984. .

Lin Youcheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He naturally knew that the Mao Dun Literature Award is awarded every four years, and the participating works must be full-length novels with a word count of more than 13. Although there is still a lot of controversy, the Mao Dun Literary Award is still the most important literary award in China.

Although the Mao Dun Literary Award is the highest award for the most mainstream literature in China, judging from the previous award-winning works and writers, this lofty award cannot escape the tasteless attribute. The Mao Dun Literature Prize has the same problem as the Nobel Prize for Literature. Several judges use their personal criteria to quantitatively score writers and works and then rank them.

But even so, one cannot always refuse to participate in some seminars organized by the association. Especially now that Lin Youcheng's "The Wind" published in "Harvest" magazine has caused countless heated discussions and caused heated discussions in the literary circles. It is naturally worth mentioning that Hunan Province The Writers Association held a related seminar and pen meeting, and naturally the writer Lin Youcheng was indispensable.

Zhang Jiefang looked at Lin Youcheng and said, "The selection for the second Mao Dun Literature Award is about to begin."

Of course, now the Hunan Writers Association wants to recommend Lin Youcheng's works, and Lin Youcheng is naturally grateful.

Of course, the Writers Association also considered whether to recommend several of Lin Youcheng's works together, and after final consideration, they chose "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "Odd Things in the World".

As for "The Wind", it was published in 1985, so naturally it was not included in the second selection, so it was not recommended.

Although Lin Youcheng is relatively normal about participating in awards, it would be great if he could really be shortlisted or win the Mao Dun Literature Award.

However, Lin Youcheng didn't know what would happen in the end. The seminar was also very lively. Some people in the Writers Association also knew Lin Youcheng, and some authors came over to talk to Lin Youcheng about several of Lin Youcheng's previous works.

"Comrade Lin Youcheng, I especially like your article "Wonderful Things in the World". It combines fantasy and reality, which is extremely wonderful."

Facing some writers in the Hunan Association, the newcomer Lin Youcheng's status has increased unknowingly. In addition, Lin Youcheng is not young, so naturally he does not need to greet them everywhere like a newcomer.

"Speaking of recent spy novels, we have to talk about "The Wind" by Lin Youcheng."

The current chairman of the Hunan Writers Association, Kai Ming, is in his fifties and in good spirits. He looked at Lin Youcheng with a smile and said, "Youcheng, please come and have a few words."

Because it was a meeting and communication, it was not particularly formal. Lin Youcheng did not need to go on stage, so it was not easy to refuse. He said: "Actually, in the novel "The Wind", I believe it can be seen that in addition to spy battles, it is also reasoning. At first, the enemy needs to find the old ghost. The old ghost needs to hide his identity and pass on information. Because of the special place, he is locked up. This is also the secret room reasoning..."

Lin Youcheng didn't talk too much about reasoning. After all, there weren't many writers present who were really interested in reasoning. Instead, he focused on the spy war.

Lin Youcheng also thought about the current reform and opening up and the friendship between China and Japan, but there are also some undercurrents here.

"As for the spy war, I actually feel that no matter whether it is a war period or not, we should not take it lightly. Today's literary creation can be combined with reality to write modern spy wars, which also have strong social significance and serve as a wake-up call to society."

When Zhang Kaiming heard Lin Youcheng mentioned the modern spy war, he couldn't help but ask: "The modern spy war you mentioned refers to secret agents?"

Zhang Jiefang also looked at Lin Youcheng curiously, waiting for Lin Youcheng's answer.

Lin Youcheng said: "Actually, intelligence work is not only about war, but also other intelligence news. I read a news reported in Decheng Daily not long ago. An island company came to Longxu, Linwu County, Hunan Province. The straw mat manufacturers conducted an inspection and all the production processes were revealed, which actually means that the cultural heritage left by our ancestors will be taken away without any effort."

As soon as these words came out, the other writers at the scene were slightly startled, because this angle was something they had never had before.

After all, with the reform and opening up, China and Japan are now friendly, but I didn’t expect this level to exist.

Other writers were just surprised, but the expression of Kai Mingming, chairman of the Hunan Writers Association, became a little serious. He understood what Lin Youcheng said.

Lin Youcheng continued: "In fact, we may not have thought that after the island country company returns from the inspection, it may develop and produce dragon's straw mats on its own. It goes without saying that it will stop importing dragon's straw mats from my country, and it will definitely be promoted internationally in the future. If we compete with our country in the market, our manufacturers will naturally be squeezed out.”

In fact, Lin Youcheng knew very well that it was not just a squeeze, but all closures. Except for a few companies left to meet domestic demand, the entire army was almost "annihilated"!

In fact, in addition to Longxu straw mats, there is also rice paper from Jingxian County.

"This is also intelligence work."

Lin Youcheng smiled and said: "I just thought of these and felt that such themes can also be used for literary creation."

"After all, wind is everywhere."

Lin Youcheng couldn't say it directly. After all, at this time, he was also worried about being labeled as destroying the feelings of the country's friends. But if he talked about some things, he might have a different result.

Isn't that how the news spread?
