Chapter 185 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead
Li Cunbao became popular, which was completely expected by Fang Yan.
But to Fang Yan’s surprise, he, the editor-in-chief, could also become popular.
Newspapers such as "Literary Journal", "Yanjing Daily", "China Youth Daily", and even literary and artistic units all wanted to talk to him about the concepts and directions of military literature in the new era, especially Wang Meng. Ask him to come to the editorial office of "Yanjing Literature" and talk about military literature.
Because they could not invite Li Cunbao, many institutions and schools settled for the next best thing and invited Fang Yan to participate in their readers' symposiums.
Even Fang Yan's school and Fang Hong's noodle factory asked them to intercede.
Dialect is recommended if you can, and only participate if you can't.
In the past few days, it was impossible to go to the editorial office of "October" for fear that a reporter would ambush nearby and catch him off guard.
"Yanzi just called and said that he was named by Zhang Shuji to attend the literary lecture organized by the Writers Association."
Back in the office, Zhang Zhonge said to everyone: "Share "Garland Under the Mountain" "Experience in drafting"
Zhang Shouren couldn't help but laugh and said: "Oh, another one, Yanzi has been working hard these days."
Tian Zengxiang said with emotion that everyone expected "Wreaths Under the Mountain" to be a hit, but they didn't expect it to become such a hit. look.
Zhang Shouren asked: "How many more copies have we printed now?"
"550,000 more copies have been printed."
Tian Zengxiang said: "I guess we have to continue to print more copies. Print, this time the sales volume may not be 1.5 million copies, but 1.6 million copies.”
Conservatives such as Zhang Shouren and Yan Ming rarely objected and felt that he, a radical, was too conservative.
Zhang Zhong'e said: "Yanzi has made another great contribution this time."
"That's right!"
Tian Zengxiang said that he was accompanying Fang Yan to see Li Cunbao off. When they went to the train station, they reached a consensus on cooperation.
It is to integrate Li Cunbao's existing military literary works and creative writing articles, "Additional Words to "Wreaths Under the Mountains"" into a "selection of literary works", and the name is " Wreaths under the mountains."
"Yanzi is a good idea!"
Zhang Shouren clapped his hands and said, "We must not miss the opportunity to pursue the victory. We cannot miss this opportunity."
Yan Ming smiled: "It is better to pursue the remaining ones bravely. A poor bandit cannot pretend to be an academic overlord. ”
Tian Zengxiang said: "Yanzi also said that the preface can be used ready-made. We will directly include Mr. Feng and Mr. Liu's comments on "Wreaths Under the Mountain" as the preface."
These words. As soon as it came out, everyone was gearing up and preparing for a big fight.
Zhang Shouren said proudly: "At first we suggested to President Lu and Editor-in-Chief Su that Yanzi should be brought to our "October" magazine. Now it seems that it is really a wise move."
Zhang Zhonge sighed: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves behind Yanzi are so powerful."
"President Lu, Master Su The editor discussed with me that we should give Yanzi more responsibilities. "Zhang Shouren said: "I am going to hand over the 'Deputy Director of the Novel Editorial Office' and the 'Leader of the Prose Group' that I am concurrently responsible for."
"Yan Zi is going to the prose group?"
Zhang Zhong'e was stunned: "What about the medium-length novel section?"
Zhang Shouren said that Fang Yan still serves as the deputy team leader of medium and long films.
However, the weakest and least promising part of "October" is currently the prose group. I plan to let him write both dialects and give full play to his strengths in prose, just like he did with the medium and long form group before. Drive the rise of the prose group.
Of course, we are also giving credit to dialects.
Having made so many great achievements, how can we not make progress!
…………
In the following days, under the instruction of the editorial board of "October", "Wreaths Under the Mountains" began to be serialized in major newspapers.
"Worker's Daily", "Dazhong Daily", "Guixi Daily"...
Newspapers and publications published across the country are trying their best to reprint them. One after another, the phone calls are made to " October" Editorial Department.
However, Fang Yan, Zhang Shouren and others were quite calm.
Too much is not enough. Authorizing too many serials will actually affect the sales of this issue of "October". This time the editorial department has worked hard to hit the small goal of 1.5 million copies.
Fortunately, "Wen Wei Po" had previously made great efforts in promoting the dialects "Dark War" and "Latent". With this relationship, it got the opportunity to reprint and became the only newspaper in Shanghai that could serialize "Wreaths Under the Mountains" 》 newspaper.
Subscribers of "Wenhui Po" were also lucky enough to see "Wreaths Under the Mountains" for the first time, and the Gong family was one of them.
"Brother, are you paying attention?"
Gong Ying put down the brush in his hand and looked back.
“It’s almost, it’s almost, it’s just a little bit close.”
Gong Ji waved his hand.
"How long will it take? I'm almost done with the painting."
Gong Ying curled his lips.
"Instead of asking me for a newspaper, you might as well go to dad and ask for a magazine. What's in the newspaper is just a serial."
Gong Chu said helplessly.
"The magazine has long been out of dad's hands."
Gong Ying resented that the magazine had been occupied by Gong's mother. From the time it was released to now, she had only read "October" once.
"Xiaoying!"
Gong Qie put down the brush, "You can't talk about mom like that." "Sister."
Gong Ying expressed her doubts. For so many days, everyone in the family was rushing to read "Wreaths Under the Mountains", but Gong Cong was like an outsider, neither reading newspapers nor competing for magazines.
"Because I have already seen it."
Gong Qie showed a faint smile.
Gong Ying blinked, "Are you in the work unit?"
Gong Qian smiled and said nothing. She had witnessed with her own eyes the entire process of "Garland Under the Mountain" from scratch. .
Gong Ying saw that she didn't say anything, pouted and read the words on the paper:
"Use dreams as horses? What does it mean?"
"This word means..."
Gong Xie told her the dialect and repeated it.
“Is there such an idiom?”
Gong Ying said in confusion: "I don't think I've seen it before."
Gong Qian rolled his eyes, carefully put the calligraphy away, picked up the script of "Under the Bridge", and walked to his room.
"Xiao Yue, come here."
Mother Gong sat in the living room and waved.
Gong Qie came to her, "What's wrong, mom?"
Gong's mother glanced at the script in her hand, and her heart skipped a beat, "Xiao Yue, have you really thought about taking this role?"
"Mom, I haven't thought about it yet."
Gong Xie knew clearly that he was referring to "Under the Bridge".
“Stop thinking about it, what else are you thinking about.”
Gong’s mother suddenly became anxious, “You can’t do anything about this play, but you can do it if you want to. Don’t play ‘Qin Nan’, play ‘ Xiao Yun'.
Gong Zhen has a habit of telling his family every time he takes on a role, especially his mother who is a photographer.
Always, her family will support her without hesitation, but this time it is different because the role is controversial.
“You must not act.”
Gong’s mother grabbed her daughter’s hand and tried to persuade her.
“But mom...”
Gong Yue opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she heard Gong's mother say that the character "Qin Nan" had a child out of wedlock. In this conservative and traditional social atmosphere, his image is very disgraceful, just like the treatment he received in the script. Suffering from cold looks and prejudice.
“Besides, he is still self-employed.”
“Do you know that there is a big purge going on right now? Are we cracking down on speculation? The self-employed have a bad reputation...”
“Mom !”
Gong Qie corrected: “Qin Nan is not the kind of bad guy who is opportunistic, but a strong, independent and resilient lesbian.”
Gong's mother said: "But the audience won't think so."
Gong Jie understands her concerns and is worried that Qin Nan's image of "having a child out of wedlock" will have a negative impact on her acting career and even her life. Impact, this worry is not unfounded.
Many seniors at Shanghai Film Studio have warned themselves.
Audiences are too easy to get involved in the drama and tend to transfer their emotions and impressions of the characters on the screen to the actors, so try not to deal with villains or characters with disgraceful and controversial images.
Qin Nan is in the latter category.
"What if there are rumors that are bad for you after you perform?"
Gong's mother's tone was full of worry.
Gong Qiao pondered for a long time, "I feel that every role played well is a small step forward on the road of art. I must cherish every step, not to mention that this role was recommended by Teacher Fang..."
“Silly boy!”
Gong’s mother said helplessly: “So what if he recommends it? If you can’t get married after playing the role, will he be responsible for you?”
"Mom!"
Gong Xie's cheeks were slightly red, "What are you talking about!"
Gong's mother said: "If he promises to be responsible for you to the end, I will not object to anything. You can act however you like."
"What are you talking about?"
"I won't talk to you anymore!"
Gong Cang stood up shyly and ran back to the bedroom quickly.
Bang, close the door.
With her whole back pressed against the door, her face was flushed and her neck was red. She took a deep breath and opened the paper in her hand.
He kept staring, thinking deeply.
(ps: In reality, Gong Xie once thought about refusing to act because of the image problem of "Qin Nan", but was finally persuaded by the director)
