Chapter 100: Appointed in critical situation, acting team leader

As soon as the "Guangming Daily" review came out, "Red Flag", "Yenjing Daily" and other newspapers also published criticisms of "Bitter Love".

Public opinion is as big as when "The Fission of Qin" was published.

Fang Yan flipped through the newspaper with a solemn expression.

“Brother! Brother!”

Fang Yan ran into the house excitedly, "Don't watch it yet, let's hurry up and buy movie tickets. We won't be able to buy them if we are late."

"You are so impatient."

Fang Yan Folding the newspaper absentmindedly.

“I’m not the only one who is anxious, my sister is more anxious than me.”

Fang Yan muttered.

"Okay, let's go."

Fang Yan touched her head and stood up.

Although I am not in a good mood to watch the movie because of the controversy of "Bitter Love", I can't dampen everyone's interest.

Since the news that "The Wrangler" was about to be released spread in the alley, neighbors even formed a movie watching group.

At this time, the main way for ordinary people to relax was to go to the theater to watch a movie. Therefore, the theater was often full.

At that time, screening information would be published in advance in the movie advertising columns of newspapers or in film periodicals like Popular Cinema.

You can also go to the ticket office of the theater. The information here is the most accurate. You usually decide what to watch after you arrive at the theater.

In an era when there were no mobile phones, no WiFi, and television had not yet entered ordinary people's homes, theaters were simply a holy place for entertainment in people's minds. The only drawback was that there were few movies and many audiences.

There are not many opportunities to buy tickets and watch movies immediately.

Most people will rush to buy pre-sale tickets and wait a day or two, or longer, to get a chance to see the tickets without queuing up on the day.

There were crowds of people and a long queue in front of the ticket window.

“Why did you buy so many tickets?”

Fang Yan was surprised when he saw Su Ya bought a bunch of tickets.

Although the movie ticket is only 10 cents, it is hard to imagine that she, who is usually "picking and searching", is willing to spend so much money.

“I bought it for someone else.”

Su Ya smiled and said, "It's Bai Ruoxue and Tang Shengnan who came home with me last time. Do you remember them?"

Fang Yan was greatly surprised. He didn't expect them to become good friends.

"Is he the student who kindly guided us last time we went to Yan'an University?" Fang Hong saw Su Ya nodding and raised a smile, "They want to watch the premiere together, that's great. !”

“The two of them can buy enough for eight or nine people.”

Fang Yan raised his eyebrows.

"There are also my roommates and classmates."

Su Ya said: "When they heard that Teacher Fang's movie was released, they all came to support it, especially the YSU campus newspaper and the May Fourth Literary Society. There will also be a collection of film reviews for "The Wrangler". "

"Film reviews?"

Fang Yan was surprised.

After a while, a "Sold Out" sign was hung at the door of the ticket office.

Wails and sighs erupted from the crowd.

Looking at the disappointed and frustrated faces, Fang Hong, Su Ya and others couldn't help but feel lucky that they came early and were ranked front in the queue.

“Fortunately, I bought it, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do my homework.”

Fang Yan looked at the movie ticket in her hand and let out a breath.

Fang Yan rolled his eyes, "Why does your homework have anything to do with movies? Isn't it possible to do your homework if you don't watch movies?"

"Brother, how do you know!"

Fang Yan blinked, "The teacher wants us to watch the movie "Wrangler" and then write a review after watching it!"

"Then You have to write well.”

Fang Hong joked: "There are not many people in your school who don't know that you are the sister of a great writer. If you can't even write down your thoughts after watching your brother's movies, you will be making a fool of yourself, Yanzi!"

“Huh?”

Fang Yan cried sadly, "Brother, it's so hard to be your sister."

"Is it hard?"

Fang Yan said: "Your pocket money, tapes, snacks..."

“Hey, brother, when Your sister is so happy!"

Fang Yan immediately smiled playfully and pouted: "It's all the school's fault. They said they wanted to borrow the movie "Wrangler" for an educational activity of "Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves."

"Educational activity? Patriotic movie-watching educational activity!"

Fang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since criticizing "Bitter Love" is a big mistake in principle and questioning the position of "October" and the entire publishing house, then, if "Wrangler" and "October" are connected, make a What about patriotic-themed movie viewing events?

These days, there is no such thing.

Following this line of thought, I thought about it all night.

When I went to work the next day, the entire editorial department was in complete chaos, especially the medium-length feature team sitting on top of the powder keg.

The progress of the latest issue of "October" has also been hampered by this.

“Film-related newspapers and periodicals have also begun to criticize "Bitter Love" and us!"

"Where, where, show me quickly."

""This What kind of "movie poem" is it? "

"Film and literary commentator Huang Gang, who is this person?"

"..."

Everyone gathered around the newspaper, talking nervously.

“This is bad!”

He Xin is no longer as optimistic as before. The original script of "Bitter Love" was published in the magazine, obviously for criticism.

Fang Yan glanced at Zhang Zhong'e's table, but it was empty.

After returning from the ministry, he was voluntarily asked to take leave at home, stopped all the work at hand, and was undoubtedly relegated to the sidelines.

Everyone in the editorial department is complaining about Zhang Zhong'e, and they are even more worried about "Bitter Love" being criticized in such a vigorous and public manner.

Of course, there are also a few people who complain about the medium-length and long-form groups.

The whole publishing house is in turmoil and people are distracted. Even Tian Zengxiang, who has always been optimistic, couldn’t help but sigh:

"Yanzi, why don't you reconsider the transfer of professional writers and get out of this nest of right and wrong as soon as possible."

"Don't think so, it's not yet this far. ”

Dialect said: "At least the Literary and Art Newspaper, the People's Daily, and the Xinhua Newspaper have not commented yet, indicating that the whole matter has not been finalized, and there is still room for maneuver, which may not lead to a peaceful outcome."

"Xiao Fang That’s right! ”

At this moment, Lu Yuanchi appeared at the door.

Coming with him were Su Yu, the editor-in-chief, deputy president and other leaders of the publishing house to calm down the soldiers and boost their morale.

"Don't panic, everyone, just do whatever you have to do!"

"The sky is falling, and I, the tall one, will hold it up!"

Lu Yuanchi made an impassioned speech After giving a speech to appease everyone, he spoke in dialect and had a private conversation.

"I heard that you are giving up the opportunity to be transferred to the Writers' Association?"

"I do have this plan."

"Why do you want to do this?"

Lu Yuanchi put it His eyes narrowed into slits, "As far as I know, the matter of "Bitter Love" has nothing to do with you."

"Didn't you do the same thing?"

Fang Yan didn't answer and asked instead: "Obviously you have never touched the manuscript of "Bitter Love", but you are still willing to take all the responsibilities."

"Hahaha, what a good Fang Yan!"
 Lu Yuanchi's eyes were filled with relief and appreciation, "You are worthy of being a disciple of Duke Mao, with a bit of his demeanor!"

"You are flattering." Fang Yan said modestly.

"You don't need to have any psychological burden. The whole thing has nothing to do with you. It's considered innocent and implicated. It won't have any impact on you." Lu Yuanchi said in a serious tone, "Even if it does, Guangnian and I will We have already talked with Comrade Wang Meng, and it is not too late to go through the transfer procedures. In short, we will never let Mao Gong’s disciples stay here!”

"The situation isn't serious enough yet, is it?"

Fang Yan first bent down to thank him, and then asked.

Lu Yuanchi shook his head and laughed, saying that Zhou Yang, Zhang Guangnian and others were still on the side of "October" and there was no need to be so sensitive.

The literary and art world is finally getting better. The "Bitter Love" incident may break the current situation of stability, unity and freedom.

"No wonder "Literary News" did not comment."

Fang Yan suddenly understood.

“Yes, Comrades Guangnian, Feng Mu, and Zhou Yang withstood the pressure.”

“But I think it would be counterproductive to impose such a hard support?”
 “There is already this trend, and the criticism is getting stronger and stronger.”

“President, there are some things I don’t know whether to say seriously or not?”

"It's time, just say it!"

""The Wrangler" will be released soon. I'm thinking again, can I connect "The Wrangler" and "Bitter Love"?"
 Dialect gave a few suggestions truthfully.

"Organize the whole society to watch "The Wrangler" and conduct movie viewing education activities? And publish film reviews?"

Lu Yuanchi muttered, "I understand what you mean, you want to show that the editorial department and The publishing house is reliable in terms of its stance and principles, but the endings of "Wrangler" and "Bitter Love" are bright and dark, which makes "Bitter Love" even more embarrassing."

"If we don't do it, there's no guarantee that those newspapers won't use "Wrangler" to criticize "Bitter Love", and then we will be even more passive."

"What you said is not unreasonable."

"It is better to be proactive than to be passive, and you may not know it." Dialect said that "Wrangler" was also dark at the beginning.

The ending is that Xu Lingjun chooses to go abroad and abandons Xiuzhi and her children. However, the ending is useless because thanks to the rescue of "Yanjing Literature", this is the first shot to reflect on literature.

"Bitter Love" should be like "The Wrangler". There are mistakes that can be criticized, but the method of 'shooting' should not be adopted, but a helpful attitude should be used to help the author improve.

"Yes!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lu Yuanchi's eyes flashed: "The movie hasn't been released yet, so we should give "Bitter Love" a chance to save it." 
“And , when "Bitter Love" was published, it was the climax of scar literature. There was no "Wrangler" yet, and there was no reflection on the trend of literary thought. The conception and emotion were inevitably affected. "

Dialect speaks clearly and logically. .

Lu Yuanchi praised him greatly and applauded him repeatedly.

In this way, we avoid amplification and shift the focus of the discussion to the direction of literature. "Bitter Love" used to be scar literature, but now it gives an opportunity to change it to reflective literature.

Moreover, increasing the exposure and publicity of "Wrangler" has in disguise reduced the enthusiasm and attention to criticism of "Bitter Love".

"We will combine the revised "Bitter Love" with "The Wrangler" and other novels to form a 'Patriotic Education Series'."

Fang Yan said with a smile: "What do you think? ”

"Okay! Okay!"

Lu Yuanchi couldn't help but be excited: "Let "October" guide the revision, and Yanjing Publishing House will publish this series of books!"

Fang Yan nodded, "That's it."
 "Famous teachers give birth to great disciples."

Lu Yuanchi was filled with emotion, and he understood even more why literary giants such as Shen Yanbing, Li Yaotang, Wan Jiabao, Ding Ling, and Zhang Guangnian valued this young man so highly and even preferred him .

What a great talent!

When he thought of this, he decided to entrust him with an important task. Currently, Zhang Zhonge is "reflecting at home", but the medium-length novel team cannot be leaderless, so he plans to discuss with Su Yu and appoint him as the deputy leader of the team.

During Zhang Zhong'e's absence, he assumed the position of acting team leader.

“But...”

Fang Yan opened his mouth.

"Don't worry, your position, talent, ability, and character are all excellent in all aspects, and you are completely qualified."

Lu Yuanchi patted his shoulder, "That's it!"

Fangyan has no choice but to accept "progress".

The deputy leader of the novel team, which is equivalent to the deputy level.

The young woman Bai has released a new book, "The Golden Age of 1979". Anyone who likes period literature can read it.
