Chapter 684 Song Tangtang was absent-minded
Jia Pingwa suddenly stopped talking.
Actually, not only Fang Minghua said this, but also many people in the literary world said so.
Jia Pingwa, you are so awesome, a novel has offended the world’s literati.
After a while, Jia Pingwa laughed at herself: "You are right, I am too timid to write about elites anymore. Can I write about ordinary citizens?"
Everyone knows that Jia Pingwa is writing another novel "White Night"
It unfolds from the life of a little man named Yelang, the living conditions of small citizens in the changing cities of the 1990s, and the small figures in officialdom who compete for power. , there are brothers and sisters fighting for survival, and outsiders struggling to live in the city. In the urban life depicted, almost all people suffer from chronic diseases to varying degrees.
Fang Minghua feels that Jia Pingwa seems to have completely abandoned his early rural themes and set his sights on the city where he lives.
Jia Pingwa said to Fang Minghua: "The "Jieyou Grocery Store" you wrote is very interesting. I thought you would continue to write such profound reflections as "In the Name of the People" or "The Piano of Steel" A novel full of reality and a sense of sorrow, but with a twist of the pen, I came up with a very heart-warming article. "
"Life is inherently bitter. If you keep reading such bitter and hateful articles all day long, you will not be tired. Are you tired?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Read Wang Zengqi's "Supper Flower Collection". It writes about ordinary people's thoughts arising from ordinary and ordinary life. There are no ups and downs, no shocking world, what is revealed in the text is calmness and truth. Just like a neighbor's house An old man is sitting in front of the door, basking in the sun, chatting with you about home affairs. I think it’s good to have some free time.”
After hearing this, Jia Pingwa shook her head again.
He is not used to this writing style.
"Hey, stop talking, Minghua, the fish is hooked!" Bai Miao reminded him.
Fang Minghua took a closer look, and sure enough, the float floating on the water began to move up and down. When he saw it, he suddenly lifted it, and a half-foot crucian carp was pulled up to the surface of the water alive and kicking.
"Haha. It's open!" Fang Minghua happily took the fish out of the hook, threw it into the plastic bucket next to it, and then threw the hook into the water.
"Hey, which one of the novels shortlisted this time do you think will win the prize?" Bai Miao asked again.
"I'm not the final judge, how do I know?" Jia Pingwa stared at the water and said without looking back.
"Then I've seen you, right? Guess."
Jia Pingwa pondered for a moment: "I think "War and People" written by Wang Huo is good, and I think it will win the award. ”
After finishing speaking, he paused: "It is said that the evaluation process for the fourth Mao Dun Literature Award has been started. This book has been recommended by the publishing house and there is a strong clamor for the award."
This point, Jia Pingwa His judgment was correct. "War and People" won the 4th Mao Dun Literature Award together with Chen Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain" and two other books.
But
"Minghua, what do you think?" Bai Miao asked Fang Minghua again.
"I am more optimistic about Yu Hua's "To Live"" Fang Minghua said bluntly and fearlessly: "I think "To Live" is the best novel Yu Hua has written so far. Among the works, it is completely different from others. The shadow of Kawabata Yasunari or Kafka finally has something completely of his own. ”
"There is still your shadow. So many young writers call you their teacher." Bai Miao said with a smile.
"Me? I don't dare to call you teacher, I'm just a porter." Fang Minghua said.
"Porter? What are you carrying?"
Fang Minghua smiled and said nothing.
In the end, chatting and arguing like this led to nothing, and everyone began to concentrate on fishing again. This time Fang Minghua came back with a full load and caught a total of three crucian carp and two silver carp, which was pretty good.
Hmm.
Go home and make fish soup for your wife and two kids in the evening!
New Year’s Eve is celebrated early this year. January 30th is New Year’s Eve. In the evening, it’s natural to have New Year’s Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala program in 1995 was quite good, and it was called the era of fighting between gods. From the talent level of the actors to the quality of the show, everything is impeccable.
Classic sketches include "Packaged Like This" by Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin, "Uncle Niu "Picks Up"" by Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin, "Speak If You Need Something" by Guo Donglin, etc. Among crosstalk works, "Mr. Worst" by Niu Qun and Feng Gong is also a rare classic.
The songs are even more popular, Na Ying's "Looking at Flowers in the Mist", Andy Lau's "Forgetting Water", Yang Yuying's "Tell You Softly", Meng Tingwei's "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" high Lin Sheng's "I am the one who cares about you", Lao Lang's "You at the same table", Chen Hong and Sun Hao's "Chinese Folk Songs", Xie Dong's "Smiley Face",.
These songs have been passed down to later generations. Still singing.
This is also Fang Minghua’s only Spring Festival Gala that has come to an end.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family still puts on new clothes and goes shopping. Now Xijing also has its own foreign fast food - KFC. It is located at the intersection of South Street in Ximutou City. It has become a popular way to take the children to eat at KFC. One of the children's New Year's wishes.
However, there were so many people in line that Fang Minghua and his family waited for more than an hour before it was their turn.
It’s such a cold day, you have to suffer.
But seeing the happy smiles of the two children, Fang Minghua's resentment disappeared.
Isn’t it just a matter of celebrating the Chinese New Year to have a happy time?
As long as the two kids are happy.
After eating KFC, I took my two children to climb the city wall. Every year, there are performances on the city wall such as farmers, lion dances, and stilt walking. The children love to see this.
Fang Minghua was playing happily with his two children, but Song Tangtang, who was following behind, was a little distracted.
"What? You have a cold, are you feeling unwell?" Fang Minghua asked with concern.
"No, it's okay."
Seeing Fang Minghua's eyes, Song Tangtang said: "I'm worried about tonight's TV series."
It turns out that the TV series "In the Name of the People" invested and filmed by Shengshi Film and Television will premiere on CCTV tonight!
According to the contract agreement: one, two or two episodes will be broadcast after eight o'clock on the night of New Year's Day, and two episodes will be broadcast every Saturday thereafter.
Seeing his wife like this, Fang Minghua smiled and said: "What are you worried about? Haven't the premiere rights been sold to CCTV? The capital has been guaranteed, what else are you thinking about?"
Just before New Year's Day, Song Tangtang negotiated with the relevant leaders of CCTV on behalf of Shengshi Film and Television, and finally sold it to CCTV for 400,000 yuan per episode, for a total of 18 million yuan.
But this is only to recover the cost. The total investment of Shengshi Film and Television in this drama is as high as 17.5 million yuan!
After listening to her husband's words, Song Tangtang held his arm and muttered: "What's the use of just preserving capital? I still hope that this drama can turn around Shengshi Film and Television. If the ratings are too low, how can I compete with Yanjing?" , several TV stations in Guangdong Province Talk? They are looking at the first broadcast. "
It turns out that CCTV has purchased the first broadcast rights of this TV series, and then four TV stations in Yanjing, Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces are also planning to buy the broadcast of this TV series. right. Shengshi Film and Television has been in contact with these four TV stations a year ago. As for the specific price, everyone is tacitly waiting for the first broadcast effect.
"Don't worry, it won't be too low." Fang Minghua comforted.
"Although this drama cannot reach the ratings of "Desire", I hope it can be similar to "Yanjing Man in New York"." Song Tangtang added.
What a God
I didn’t expect your expectations to be so high!
Fang Minghua was a little surprised.
The ratings of "Desire" are as high as 98%, creating a ratings myth that is unprecedented and unprecedented. Although "Yenjing Man in New York" is not comparable, the ratings are also as high as 69%!
"In the Name of the People" also has such high requirements?
