Chapter 183 There is an unexpected gain!
Fangyan's publicity plan for "Garland Under the Mountain", as expected, received the support and approval of everyone, including Li Cunbao, and the entire editorial department implemented it in an orderly manner.
Li Cunbao was writing his "Talk about Creation". Fang Yan walked to Shasha North Street for him and went straight to the Writers Association. As soon as he parked his bicycle and locked it, he bumped into the editor of "Contemporary" who had also stopped the car. them.
“Xiao Fang!”
“Teacher Qin! Teacher Feng!”
Fang Yan said hello to Qin Zhaoyang, Feng Xuefeng and others one by one.
“Is this another manuscript for People’s Literature?”
Feng Xuefeng stared at his briefcase.
“No, no.”
Fang Yan shook his head and said that he came to Feng Mu himself.
"When will you come and sit in our editorial office?"
Qin Zhaoyang wears glasses and has kind eyes.
Fang Yan knew in his heart that they were not greedy for his body, but for his manuscripts, so he politely said "next time".
After separating from them, he walked to Feng Mu's office.
The secretary had been waiting for a long time and knocked on the door in dialect, only to hear the voice of "please come in" coming from inside.
Pushing the door open, in addition to Feng Mu, there were also Zhang Guangnian, Zhou Weizhi, and another heavyweight sitting in the room.
Qiao Yu.
Not to mention "My Motherland", "Let's Swing the Oars", "Unforgettable Tonight", "Love My China" are all lyrics written by this writer, and even the theme of "The Big Windmill" The music is also his lyrics.
“The big windmill, creaking and turning...”
A veritable giant in the world of lyric writing!
"This is Xiao Fang."
"Hello, Mr. Qiao."
After Zhang Guangnian's introduction, Fang Yan shook hands with him, looked at the four people in front of him, and revealed Awkward yet polite smile:
“I came at the wrong time.”
“No, you came at the right time.”
Feng Mu explained that all three of them came for him.
“Me?”
Fang Yan was confused. Didn’t he just make an appointment to comment?
"They have their own affairs. I will tell you later. Now, let's talk about our affairs. Have you brought the manuscript?"
Feng Mu showed a mysterious smile.
"Bring it."
Fang Yan took out the manuscript paper from the bag.
“What about yours?”
Feng Mu said with a smile that after the symposium on military literature, most people were looking forward to his and Li Cunbao’s works and wanted to read them. See what military literature in the new era is all about!
“Guaranteed you won’t be disappointed.”
Dialect said confidently.
Feng Mu held "Garland Under the Mountain" and the unfinished "Operation Sword", "I'll look at it first, old guys, do whatever you want."
"You, you, look. What a good thing you did."
Zhang Guangnian looked at him with satisfaction.
Fang Yan asked doubtfully: "Which one are you talking about?"
"You have to ask yourself."
Zhou Weizhi pointed to the chair, "Sit down and think about it."
"I have done a lot of good things, I really can't guess. .”
Fang Yan pondered for a moment and grinned.
“Hahaha.”
In an instant, the three of them laughed loudly, and even Feng Mu, who was turning over the manuscript, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
“This is the first time I heard someone praise myself so much.”
Qiao Yu stopped her smile and said, “Okay, I won’t play riddles with you. It’s about the song written by You. "Down with Annan's white-eyed wolf"
Fang Yan was greatly surprised, he didn't expect to come towards it.
"Tell me, is this a good thing you did."
Zhang Guangnian seemed to be accusing him, but in fact his tone was full of pride.
After hearing what his senior brother said, Fang Yan realized that "Down with the Annan White-Eyed Wolf" was not just as simple as being published in newspapers such as "Liberation Jun" and "Song", it was just like "Down with the American Ambitious Wolf".
It’s been a long time since I went to the beekeeping lane to play cards. I need to play cards!
“Xiao Fang, I didn’t expect you to hide something.”
Zhang Guangnian joked: “You can actually write lyrics.”
Fang Yan said: "I understand a little bit."
Qiao Yu said: "You don't need to be nervous."
When Fang Yan heard it, it turned out that it was Zhang Guangnian and the others who had received the instructions from above. We strive to improve the war song "Down with Annan's White-Eyed Wolf" and strive to improve it so that it can be promoted to the whole country.
Especially the troops stationed on the front line in southern Xinjiang.
“The most satisfying thing in your poem is the line ‘The most beautiful flowers dyed red with blood, sprinkled on my chest’.”
Zhang Guangnian commented appreciatively.
“The music composed by the Guangxi Military Region Chorus is also very good.”
Zhou Weizhi then carefully analyzed it from the perspective of composition, and even compared it with "Down with the American Ambitious Wolf".
“There is the heroic spirit of a soldier who marches forward without fear!”
“There is the heroic spirit of marching forward without fear when meeting on a narrow road.”
"But the only drawback is that one word is missing." Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Guangnian from the left and Zhou Weizhi from the right.
Faced with the gazes of the three people, Fang Yan told the truth that he originally wanted to use "China | Military Soul", or the original name of "Garland Under the Mountain", "Guoguo Soul" ", but felt that the term "military soul" was inappropriate, so I had to abandon it and could not find a replacement for a while.
“You did the right thing.”
Zhang Guangnian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, “The word ‘military soul’ cannot be used casually.”
Qiao Yu nodded and said: "It's really inappropriate."
"Let's do this, you sing the entire song that originally contained 'China | Military Soul' for us."
Zhou Weizhi said seriously: "Then let's think about it carefully."
Fang Yan cleared his throat, beat the beat, and started singing.
After listening to it once, Qiao Yu said with great appreciation: "It seems that the only problem with this poem is to find a word that can replace 'China | Military Soul'."
Zhang Guangnian nodded in agreement: "Xiao Fang, are you willing to give this song to us to change?"
Fang Yan nodded, thinking that it could be like "Down with the American Ambitious Wolf", The corners of his mouth kept turning up.
"When this song is revised, how about putting it on "Song of the Week" for the first time?"
Zhang Guangnian asked two old friends for their opinions.
Zhou Weizhi thinks there is no problem. If the first song is successful, it can be included in this year's cultural BU Spring Festival Gala.
"Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, I heard my wife mention that CCTV seems to be planning a gala for the Spring Festival of 2083."
Qiao Yu said that it might be arranged by then.
Oh, go to the Spring Festival Gala?
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows, surprised.
…………
When the four of them were chatting, Feng Mu was watching the second part of "Operation Sword". As for "Garland Under the Mountain", which he had already finished, the three old friends passed it around to each other.
Fang Yan refilled the tea cup and sat quietly.
After a while, Feng Mu put down the manuscript paper in his hand, looked up at the young man in front of him, and said with admiration:
"I will give you a three-word review of these two novels."
“Good! Excellent!”
"Live up to everyone's expectations, live up to everyone's expectations!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Guangnian and others.
"You're very grateful."
Fang Yan said that the first draft of "Operation Sword" has not been finished yet, and it will take some time to completely complete it.
“Don’t rush, take your time.”
Feng Mu turned his head and asked Zhang Guangnian and the others what they thought.
“The two manuscripts each have their own merits.”
Zhou Weizhi said: “Xiao Fang’s article can be regarded as a unique and original approach, just like the spy war literature he wrote, it has an important impact on the entire It is groundbreaking in terms of military literature.”
“It is indeed true”
Qiao Yu said: “Military fantasy is unprecedented.”
Feng Mu said: "Including this 'military fantasy', the new concept of military literature mentioned by Xiao Fang at the symposium has triggered a lot of controversy in the literary world and even society. However, these arguments have always lacked military Thematic works serve as strong arguments. In my opinion, this argument has now appeared. "
Looking at your words, I quickly praised Fang Xiaojiang into a flower, and he smiled happily. The mouth is not ear-to-ear, and the corners of the mouth are harder to press than the AK.
"Although "Garland Under the Mountain" is not as groundbreaking as "Operation Sword", in terms of ideological quality, I think it is unparalleled among the current contemporary military literary works."
Zhang Guangnian's tone was full of appreciation.
Qiao Yu agreed: "Taking a direct look at the dark side can be said to be another major breakthrough in military literature."
"You are quite courageous."
Everyone took Feng Mu's words seriously.
Fang Yan took a sip of water and said with a serious face:
"Although we write about the dark side, we are not dark for the sake of being dark, exaggerating, or even making things up. For example, 'Jin Kailai', he does look like a typical hero Images are different, have flaws, and are not perfect.”
“But it is this imperfection that makes heroes closer to readers, allowing readers to feel that they are real, with flesh and blood, joys and sorrows, and shortcomings. .”
"Well said!"
Qiao Yu slapped the table, "What you just said came to light." Then he said enthusiastically: "Xiao Fang, when we eat later, let's follow I’ll drink two cups.”
Fang Yan looked at Zhang Guangnian in surprise.
Zhang Guangnian couldn't help laughing, tearing down his old friend.
Qiao Yu is a heavy drinker. She drinks so much that she drinks with her boss without distinguishing between them. She loves to drink at ordinary times, and even more so when she is creating. She even joked with the nurse when she was hospitalized for infusion. Say, can we lose to Moutai?
"Nonsense!"
Qiao Yu corrected: "It's obviously Wuliangye."
"Hahaha!"
In an instant, the whole room burst into laughter.
Fang Yan also laughed. He really wanted to ask whether your blood type is "Fenjiu" or "Erguotou", but he still held back his words.
"You are obviously using Xiao Fang's excuse to get addicted to alcohol."
Zhou Weizhi also added with a smile.
Feng Mu asked: "Xiao Fang, you are very brave. I don't know how good your drinking capacity is. Do you dare to drink once?"
"Dare!"
Dialect is eager to try.
Feng Mu, Zhang Guangnian and others looked at each other and then agreed to write a literary review for "Garland Under the Mountain".
"Tomorrow I will ask the secretary to send it to your editorial office."
"That's great!"
Fang Yan is satisfied and can make it in time before printing. .
