Chapter 327 Looking up at the stars
Rongcheng, Emei Film Factory.
Fang Yan followed Teng Jinxian, Zhu Fu and his party to the guest house.
On the pillars made of red bricks in the corridor, thick iron wires are held. Colorful clothes are hung on the iron wires, and quilts and sheets are hung, rippling gently in the breeze.
Zhu Ru suddenly stopped at the door and pointed to the door number above, "Teacher Fang, this is your room."
"Thank you."
Fang Yan took out the key and opened the door.
Han Sanping reminded: "Our factory director specially asked the canteen to prepare a welcome banquet at noon to welcome you."
Fang Yan said: "You are really too polite."< br>
"Wherever you go, when you come to Chengdu, Eying Factory must do its best to be a landlord."
Han Sanping said: "If Teacher Fang has any other requests, just ask and we will try our best to arrange it for you."
Fang Yan looked at the future talker in the China Film and Entertainment Industry before him and smiled. :
"I really have one thing to trouble you."
"Please tell me."
Looking at Han Sanping, Zhu Fu looked at him again and picked up the The kettle poured hot water for the three of them.
Fang Yan said bluntly that he hoped Eying Factory could arrange a car for him in the next few days. It would be better if the driver was familiar with this area of Chengdu.
“Of course that’s no problem!”
Han Sanping mistakenly thought that he wanted to go sightseeing, “Rongcheng is a land of abundance and a city of gourmet food. Professional foodies like you, Teacher Fang, are very welcome. If you can Write a few articles about Sichuan and Sichuan cuisine Good article, it really couldn’t be better.”
“I have always longed for the food in Chengdu, but...”
Fang Yan explained, do business first, then. When talking about delicious food, I have to go to the editorial office of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" first.
"Science fiction literature and art?"
After hearing the purpose of his trip, Han Sanping turned to look at Zhu Lu, "In that case, how about letting Zhu Lu be your guide?"
Dialect 1 Startled, he met Zhu Lu's eyes, and his eyes collided, and he saw her agreeing: "Okay!" < br>
Han Sanping said, "Teacher Fang, even though she has only been at E Film Factory for more than half a year, she is very familiar with Chengdu and is fully qualified to serve as a guide." Looking left and right, "What's more, she is very familiar with Chengdu." You are old acquaintances, why not take this opportunity to catch up on old times.”
There is something in the words!
Fang Yan rolled his eyes, he and Zhu Lu were "innocent", be careful if I sue you for slandering me, he slandered me!
"I have to go to the cafeteria to see how the food is arranged. Excuse me." Han Sanping asked Zhu Ru to stay, "Teacher Fang, you can contact her first to arrange your schedule for the next few days. Said."
"I'll trouble you."
Fang Yan shook hands with him and then sent him out of the room.
In the huge bedroom, only a man and a woman were left alone. With the door closed, it was so quiet at this moment that you could hear a pin drop.
"Ahem."
Zhu Lu coughed, "Teacher Fang, besides going to "Science Fiction Literature", where else are you planning to go these days?"
Fang Yan made no secret. He said he wanted to visit "Sichuan and Shu Literature" and Mr. Ma Shitu.
This is the author of the original work "Let the Bullets Fly". Together with Li Yaotang, Zhang Xiushu, Sha Ting and Ai Wu, he is known as the "Five Elders of Sichuan".
He is a well-known figure in the Sichuan-Sichuan literary world, and even in the national literary world. He is also the leader of the Sichuan-Sichuan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Writers Association.
Now that Fang Xiaojiang has come to his territory, both public and private, he has to pay a visit and meet this big shot in the literary world.
"I have written it all down, Teacher Fang."
Zhu Fu drank some water to calm down.
I saw Fang Yan walking to the window sill, opening the window, and a spring breeze blew gently into the room.
“How was your stay at E Film Studio?”
"It's pretty good!"
Zhu Lu said: "Actually, as long as I can be an actor and have movies to film, I'll be very satisfied." Then he shared interesting stories about the filming of "Legend of the Liyuan". Because it involves Sichuan Opera, he himself At that time, I went to the countryside with a Sichuan Opera troupe and studied with Sichuan Opera actors. I practiced Qigong in the morning and evening.
Fang Yan said: "I also watched that movie."
Zhu Fu's eyes lit up, "That's great! What do you think?"
"Follow "Popular Cinema" had the same review."
Fang Yan smiled, and the magazine's "New Flowers in Silver Garden" column listed Zhu Fu as one of the five golden flowers of Eying Factory.
Clear as narcissus Pan Hong, as bright as rose Li Ping, as beautiful as peony Fu Lili, as pure as magnolia Li Kechun, and Zhulu is as light as autumn chrysanthemum.
"This...this..."
Zhu Lu's face turned red instantly, "Teacher Fang, if nothing happens, I, I'll leave first."
"Wait."
Fang Yan took out a pack of crystal candies and handed them over.
"Is this?"
"Wedding candy."
"Wedding candy?!"
Zhu Fu looked at it blankly, with very serious eyes. complex.
Fang Yan grinned and said, "We just got married not long ago."
Zhu Fu opened his mouth, "Teacher Fang, who is so lucky to be your wife?"
Fang Yan said without thinking. The name "Gong Qie", "organic If so, I will definitely introduce you two to each other.”
“Congratulations, Teacher Fang.”
After Zhu Ru said congratulations, she didn’t say anything more, and just turned around silently. Leave the room without looking back.
There was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the corridor. She peeled off one of the white rabbit pieces and chewed it in her mouth. It was not as sweet as she expected, and it was slightly bitter and astringent. .........
The next day, when Wang Fulin contacted the theater troupe from Sichuan to come to the E Film Studio for an audition, Fang Yan had already left for "Science Fiction Literature".
Except for the driver, our companions were Zhu Rui, who was wearing a white dress and light makeup.
“Why, didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Fang Yan noticed the faint dark circles at the corners of her eyes.
"Looking at the script, I accidentally forgot the time."
There was a hint of melancholy between Zhu Fu's brows.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Then just take a nap in the car. It's still a long way to the publishing house anyway."
"That's fine."
Zhu Lu subconsciously glanced out of the car window, sighed deeply, and closed her eyes.
Unconsciously, after a long time, a sign saying "Science Fiction Literature and Art" appeared in Fangyan's sight.
At the door with the sign hanging, Yang Xiao, Yao Haijun, Tan Kai and others stood neatly in a row.
“It’s coming! It’s coming! It’s finally here!”
“We are saved! Science fiction and literature are saved!”
"Chinese science fiction can be saved!"
"Hurry up, people are coming down, let's get up quickly."
Seeing an outrageously young man getting out of the car, everyone immediately They gathered around and shouted "Teacher Fang" in unison.
"Hello, hello."
Fang Yan said hello and introduced Zhu Lu, who was acting as a tour guide.
Yao Haijun was so excited that he could not speak coherently, "Teacher Fang, I am looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally I have brought you here!"
Zhu Ru was puzzled when she saw them looking at Fang Yan like a great savior.
"Teacher Fang, I hope you don't mind."
Yang Xiao smiled awkwardly but politely, "They have admired your name for a long time, and I am really excited to see you today. . ”
“It is also an honor for me to meet you. ”
Fang Yan walked into the building and looked around. The office was empty and deserted. It looked like a ghost building.
"Is it a holiday today? Why is there no one there?"
Zhu Fu was surprised.
"That...that..."
Yang Xiao said embarrassedly, there are only 8 of them left in the publishing house at the moment.
Zhu Lu was shocked. He looked up at Fang Yan and saw that he was startled at first, then his face became solemn and his brows furrowed.
"It seems that last year's 'spiritual pollution' had a great negative impact on you."
"That's right!"
Yao Haijun was about to speak. After complaining, Yang Xiao immediately glared, "It's definitely a lie to say it's not serious, but if it's serious..."
"Lao Yang, let's stop being brave in front of Teacher Fang." Tan Kai said: "Teacher Fang, to tell you the truth, "Science Fiction Literature and Art" has reached the end of its rope. Maybe next time The first issue will be the last one, and it will also be the death of "Science Fiction Literature"
Fang Yan had a serious look on his face, "Is it serious enough?"
Yao Haijun said helplessly that he had no funds, no stable source of manuscripts, and only sold 600 copies. To make matters worse, the regulations promulgated at the beginning of the year "Notice on the Implementation of Self-financing and Self-financing of Journal Publishing", even the last bit of subsidy is gone.
"But no matter what, we will find a way to survive."
Yang Xiao said worriedly: "If "Science Fiction Literature and Art" also ceases publication, I am afraid that no one will engage in science fiction in China. "
Fang Yan comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic. As long as a nation is still curious and can look up at the stars, this nation can still engage in science fiction, and the entire science fiction literature will not perish. ”
"Teacher Fang!"
Yang Xiao, Yao Haijun and others seemed to be grasping the last straw, their eyes full of expectation and emotion.
"Wilde once said that we are all living in the gutter, but there are still people who look up to the stars."
Dialect said: "You are such people, even though you are in the trough, you still look up to the stars." ."
"Look up at the stars, look up at the stars..."
Yao Haijun and the others couldn't help but be moved, and even tears flashed faintly in Yang Xiao's eyes.
When I was young, my material conditions were not rich, and the literary and artistic works I could read were very narrow, and science fiction works were even rarer.
But a novel titled "The Combination of Science and Fantasy" published by Ma Shitu completely opened the door to her yearning for the world of science fiction.
“At that time, I felt it was so novel and innovative. I had never seen such a work before, and I never imagined that there was such a combination of science and literature. So I applied to be transferred from the factory to the magazine office. became the editor of "Science Fiction Literature and Art""
Yang Xiao sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect it to be like this..."
"It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing. We're already at a trough. No matter how we go, it's progress, and every step is uphill."
Fang Yan took out the manuscript of "Midnight Ring" from his bag, as well as the manuscript published by Youfei Pavilion Japanese novel.
Suddenly, it attracted the attention of everyone present including Yang Xiao and Yao Haijun.
Zhu Lu looked at him surrounded by the crowd and realized why he came to the editorial office of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" in such a hurry.
Teacher Fang, Teacher Fang...
