Chapter 367 "Platform": The joys and sorrows of little people in the big era
Fang Minghua understood.
Bai Miao is not optimistic about this type of novel.
Actually, this is the case. I think the stream-of-consciousness novel I wrote was not accepted by many people, and there was a lot of criticism in words and writings.
I also wrote a special paper to introduce stream-of-consciousness novels and had a verbal spat with some people.
Nowadays, avant-garde novels, including stream-of-consciousness novels, are everywhere, and realistic novels have become an outlier.
It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
You have to tell him about this.
Of course, just writing a letter is not enough. Fang Minghua felt that he had to write a new realistic novel to express his support.
What to write?
At this moment, the sound of singing from the tape recorder suddenly came from the next room.
The long platform,
The long wait
The long train,
carrying my short love
"87 Frenzy"!
This is a music album released by Huacheng Audio and Video Publishing House, and it is also the most popular tape this summer.
Under the influence of two major Western disco cultural products, "Hedong" and "Warrior", domestic musicians have produced a "Disco" compilation series that mainly covers English original songs with Chinese lyrics, " "Platform", "Misunderstanding", "Don't Wait for Me Anymore", etc., and of course the classic song "Little Girl Under the Streetlight".
The song was still being sung on the recorder, and someone else was singing along.
My heart is waiting
Forever waiting
My heart is waiting
Forever waiting
Wolf crying and ghost howling.
I seem to still hear Yu Hua’s voice like a male duck.
Fang Minghua smiled.
Of course he won’t just go and make do.
If you want to go, you have to go to the Love Song Room or KTV, right?
But it hasn’t appeared yet.
It seems that I can’t write today. Fang Minghua was about to go out for a walk and suddenly thought of a movie with the same name as the platform.
"Platform", filmed by Mr. Jia Ke, tells the story of a group of young people from the Fenyang Art Troupe who went from "searching" to "returning" in the wave of social change at the beginning of the reform and opening up in the 1980s.
History is no longer about the great people, but about the little people who are running for their dreams and life.
Isn’t this a proper new realistic novel?
It is said that Chief Jia wrote and directed this movie based on the song "Platform". This time I will write a novel based on his movie.
Fang Minghua didn't plan to go out for a walk, so he closed the doors and windows. He took off his shirt and pants, put on a pair of big pants, sat down at the computer and started writing.
The plot of this movie is not complicated.
A few young men and women from the Fenyang City Art Troupe have keenly felt the changes in the new era and gained new ideological enlightenment. They regard themselves as art workers in the county and are in conflict with the old environment and ideas around them. There began to be distance.
The conflict between ideals and reality is fierce for several young people. Yin Ruijuan realistically rejected Cui Mingliang, who was in love with her, became a civil servant, and withdrew from the circle of literary youth.
The love between Zhang Jun and Zhong Ping came to an end in the midst of wandering as the privately contracted art troupe traveled around.
Cui Mingliang returned to his hometown. He and Yin Ruijuan lived a boring and ordinary life together.
At the end of the movie, Cui Mingliang lies on his seat and falls asleep like countless bored middle-aged men. Yin Ruijuan holds the child and comforts her. The scream of the kettle is like the whistle of a train, stirring up their former dreams and distance. In the end, everything is just... See you in my dream.
The 1980s was the decade of the most dramatic changes in China. Because of the rapid changes, people had no time to mentally prepare to say goodbye to the past, and were thrown into a confused new era. Fenyang in the movie is dilapidated, It is barren, conservative and hopeless, and the people living in it depend on it but are unable to escape.
As for myself, I returned to this era and am now almost at the end of this era.
Record it.
The joys and sorrows of little people in the big era.
Reducing the movie into a script was a familiar task for Fang Minghua. He was completely immersed in writing, and the singing next door slowly disappeared, and in the end there was silence outside.
Until midnight, Fang Minghua finally finished writing. Fang Minghua actually wrote a novella of more than 20,000 words in one go!
Rubling his drowsy wrist, he looked at his watch. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Putting on his coat, Fang Minghua opened the door and window and walked out. It was almost dark outside, except for a few dim lights downstairs, and the sound of crickets could be heard in the distance.
Suddenly he discovered that a room on the second floor of the second floor opposite seemed to have lights on. It was the dormitory for female students.
Is this Li Hongying’s dormitory?
It seems to be that one, but it is far away and Minghua is not sure.
If you don’t sleep so late, you are also a night owl.
Fang Minghua smiled, turned around and entered the room.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, and go to sleep.
Fang Minghua guessed correctly, it was Li Hongying’s dormitory.
At this time, Chen Hong was already asleep, and Li Hongying was sitting at the desk wearing a plain nightgown, writing furiously.
From this morning to evening, she didn't even leave the house. Chen Hong helped bring the food from the cafeteria.
Actually, she originally wanted to enter the "little dark room", but she heard that the room was occupied by students from other classes, so she had to write in her dormitory.
In order not to affect the rest of my companions, I turned off the lights in the room and adjusted the light of the desk lamp I bought to the minimum.
The name of the novel she wrote is "Poppy Flowers and White Moonlight"
The content is set in the "mountain city" of Chongqing as the geographical background. It tells the story of the 12-year-old boy Dou Xiaoming who was injured in 1976. After entering the hospital, he met the nurse Jiahui who took great care and love for him.
Jiahui was born beautiful, but she married Gang Ge, a young man from the local mixed society, and often suffered domestic violence. After Dou Xiaoming learned about this, he stood up to fight against the injustice and changed the fate of the three of them.
Now it is finally completed.
Li Hongying rubbed her sore wrist and took a long breath.
The novel is not long, about 30,000 words.
Instead of writing a novel, it is better to write about my childhood experiences.
No matter what, it’s finally finished and can be handed over to Teacher Fang tomorrow morning.
I wonder what kind of comments he will make after reading this novel?
Hmm.
Leave it to him during your morning run!
Teacher Fang has been running every day these days!
Wash, sleep, have sweet dreams!
Although she went to bed late at night, Li Hongying still got up on time at 6:30 in the morning, put on her sportswear and pants, and carried a schoolbag containing the novel she had just written last night, and rushed to the playground happily. .
The result disappointed her.
Fang Minghua didn’t come at all.
What's going on?
After running, I have to eat, and after eating, I have to hurry to class.
Just go find him now!
Li Hongying was a girl who did what she said. She didn't even return to her dormitory, but ran towards Fang Minghua's dormitory with her schoolbag on her back.
At this time, Fang Minghua was still sleeping soundly.
I rarely stay up so late to sleep, so I can’t get up at all in the morning. Anyway, there are no classes today, so I can sleep as late as I want.
I was drifting off to sleep when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Holy shit!
The one with no eyes must not be Yu Hua, right?
This guy is familiar with me, so I didn’t pay attention to the time when I was looking for him.
Fang Minghua fought back his sleepiness and got up, put on his big pants without a shirt, angrily rushed over to open the door, and was about to scold him, but he saw it was a girl.
It turned out to be Li Hongying.
