Chapter 99 The Storm of Bitter Love
The sky is getting dark, but the "October" editorial department is not as deserted as usual. Each group is now very busy, digesting the results of this manuscript invitation plan.
“Yanzi, congratulations!”
Seeing Fang Yan’s return, Tian Zengxiang congratulated him immediately.
“Old Tian, where does joy come from?”
Dialects are not without surprise.
"Yanzi, please don't hide it from us."
He Xin had envy in his eyes, "The news that you have been selected into the list of professional writers of the Yanjing Writers Association has now spread."
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "It's all spread!?"
"No!"
Tian Zengxiang came closer and lowered his voice.
Su Yu was looking for a conversation in dialect, and he was jumping up and down to ask for news. He was worried that his position as deputy team leader would be taken away, but unexpectedly, he didn't find out about the deputy team leader, but he found a professional writer. The news spread immediately.
“Why is he so active?”
Fang Yan asked with interest.
“He feels that if you become a professional writer, you will be transferred from "October" to the Writers Association, and it will be impossible to compete with him for deputy leader."
Tian Zengxiang lowered his voice and said.
Looking at the two people muttering, He Xin smiled and said:
"Yanzi, what are you and Teacher Tian talking about?"
"Yanzi and I are discussing Let's go out to a restaurant tonight and celebrate him." Tian Zengxiang looked left and right.
“It’s time to celebrate, count me in.”
As soon as Zhang Zhonge finished speaking, He Xin also said he wanted to go.
"There is no rush to celebrate beforehand, I have something more important to do."
Fang Yan told the truth about the situation related to "Bitter Love".
Especially tell it to Zhang Zhonge, because he is the deputy editor.
“What!?”
The three of them were shocked and looked at each other.
"Yanzi, did Editor Zhang really tell you this personally?"
Zhang Zhonge said with a solemn expression.
Fang Yan nodded solemnly, but even Tian Zengxiang, who was close to him, was dubious. He really couldn't figure out why "Bitter Love" was investigated. It made no sense at all.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”
He Xin shook his head: "If there is really a problem with "Bitter Love", it should be found out during the film bureau's review. If the situation is as serious as Yanzi said, how could the script be passed!"
"Teacher He is right."
Tian Zengxiang usually doesn't deal with He Xin, but in the face of such a big event, he immediately put aside his prejudices and thought it was impossible.
After all, the movie "Bitter Love" has been filmed!
“So, is the movie released?”
Dialects raises a pointed question.
"The Sun and the People" was apparently filmed based on the script of "Bitter Love", and was filmed earlier than "The Wrangler".
But now, "The Wrangler" is about to premiere on May 10, but "The Sun and the Man" still has not been released.
“What Yanzi said makes sense.”
Tian Zengxiang frowned.
Zhang Zhong'e did not refute. A while ago, Bai Hua, the author of "Bitter Love", did complain to him that the film was stuck in the final stage of review by the Film Bureau. Until now, there has been no reply.
Neither approved nor returned with request for modification.
"That is also the film bureau's business, why bother Comrade Hu Muqiao." He Xindao: "Besides, if there are really any problems with "Bitter Love", how could the film bureau agree to make it into a movie?"
< br>"No, everyone was opposed to making this movie at first."
Zhang Zhong'e obviously knew more about the inside story.
After "October" published the script "Bitter Love", the literary and art circles started to debate whether to make it into a movie.
Even, the film bureau specially held a symposium, and the controversial point was at the end, similar to "I love the Qing Dynasty, but who loves me?"
Most people still held a positive or basically positive attitude, including Zhou Yang, Xia Yan and others, so they were able to give the green light for filming.
"Why does Teacher Zhang know so clearly."
Fang Yan asked in a low voice, tilting his head.
Tian Zengxiang replied that the manuscript "Bitter Love" was published by the medium-length novel group, and Zhang Zhonge was the editor in charge.
What? ! When Fang Yan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Isn't this just like "if people sit indoors, disaster will come from the sky?"
"However, this matter has nothing to do with you. "Bitter Love" is 79 It was published in 2016. You hadn’t come yet at that time, and the only people in the group who handled it were me, Teacher He, and Teacher Zhang.”
Tian Zengxiang raised his hand.
"How could it be okay? We are in the same group, a collective. We are all prosperous and we all suffer."
Fang Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhonge and Tian Zengxiang looked at each other and smiled, looking at him with admiration in their eyes, "What Yanzi said is good!"
"I think you are too worried. ”
He Xindao: "I don't think "Bitter Love" will have such serious problems. If the nature is really that bad, we would have been criticized long ago when our journal published it, criticizing "October" and "Bitter Love". How can we wait until now?"
"Maybe it is because of the movie that the script, as well as the magazine and publishing house that published the script, are involved."
Fang Yan analyzed it carefully.
"What you said all makes sense."
Zhang Zhong'e said: "But we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. Editor Su and others must know about this matter." Then he turned around. Looking at Fang Yan, "Yanzi, please come with me."
Fang Yan nodded and said: "Where is President Lu?"
"There is no need to tell President Lu for the time being."
Zhang Zhong'e pondered for a moment: "He has never touched the manuscript of "Bitter Love" at all, so it's better not to Mix this right and wrong.”
…………
Three days later, early in the morning.
The editorial department was operating as usual, but Fang Yan knew that an undercurrent was brewing at this time. After Su Yu, Zhang Shouren and others received the news, they inquired around, and the news they got was getting worse and worse.
While he was absent-mindedly writing "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Tian Zengxiang from behind suddenly shouted:
"Oops! Oops, oops!"
All of a sudden, it attracted everyone’s attention.
“Look, look, something really happened!”
Tian Zengxiang immediately opened the newspaper and saw an article "Comment on the Film and Literary Script "Bitter Love"" signed as "Our Special Commentator" published in the "Guangming Daily". It was full of criticism:
" The theme of this work is love. It is the protagonist’s love for the country and the author’s love for the country. Love, but!”
“After reading the work, we have to say that the emotions it describes and express are not true love.”
“But it is under the cover of love. , full of resentment..."
"Why are the words so harsh?"
He Xin's expression was dull, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Fang Yan knew something was wrong, but when he learned that Lu Yuanchi, Su Yu, and Zhang Zhong'e were asked to come to the ministry to cooperate in explaining the situation of "Bitter Love", he realized how bad it was.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire "October" editorial department and even the entire publishing house exploded, with a lot of discussion and panic.
"Yanzi, what will happen next?"
He Xin no longer had his usual calmness and was at a loss.
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Well, we won't know until President Lu and Editor Su come back. We'd better not think too much and do the work at hand first."
He Xin smiled, but there was envy and jealousy in his eyes. .
"Yanzi, I think the commotion of this matter will not be smaller than that of "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty", maybe there will be a big problem."
Tian Zengxiang said earnestly: "City Gate A fire breaks out and affects the fish pond. You are different from us. In this way, you are about to become a professional writer, and you can choose to be transferred to the Yanjing Writers Association. I think you should seriously think about it..."
"Yes, Yanzi can become a professional writer in the Yanjing Writers Association." He Xin. There was a hint of envy and a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"Things haven't gotten this bad yet."
Fang Yan said firmly: "Didn't I tell you earlier? I am the editor of "October" and a member of "October"."
"Yanzi, do you want to stay?"
Tian Zengxiang was shocked and showed no admiration.
“Needless to say, even if we have to be transferred to the Writers Association, we have to wait until the whole "Bitter Love" thing is over."
Fang Yan nodded without changing his expression.
"Haha, I saw you right."
Tian Zengxiang laughed loudly and beat his chest excitedly.
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, He Xin's eyes flashed and he gritted his teeth. Such a good opportunity was wasted?
Thanks to the mountain of Wanzhongshan for the 500 starting coins.
