Chapter 9 Essay Contest
This period of teaching lasted until the end of September, when Chen’s father came to take him back.
Before leaving, Qian Yanqiu mentioned something else in front of Chen's father and Chen Linfeng.
"There has been a lot of discussion about Chinese language education in newspapers recently. Xiaofeng, have you paid attention?"
Chen Linfeng was a little confused about what he was thinking, and answered truthfully.
"I saw some in the newspaper, I think it started at the end of last year.
The point of discussion is Chinese education. Some say that it is too biased towards linguistics and deviates from literature; others say that it is too biased towards vernacular. It is recommended to pay attention to classical Chinese; some people think that the personality development of educated people has been ignored.
Everyone who pays attention to the news should know why Uncle Qian talked about this. ?”
“Yes, public opinion has attached great importance to Chinese education in the past two years.”
Qian Yanqiu patted him on the shoulder, "I heard that Shanghai's Germinal Magazine is planning to hold an essay contest. Your article is good, so you can consider giving it a try."
"It's a new concept essay contest. Right?" Chen Linfeng blurted out.
“So you’ve heard of it, that’s even better. The deadline for submissions for the preliminary round is November, so you can prepare now.”
Unexpectedly, the 1st New Concept The competition started in 1998.
In his previous life, Chen Linfeng had heard of this composition contest. Han Han and Guo Xiaosi became famous from this contest.
Chen Shantong on the side understood that this was a major event for his child to make progress, and hurriedly patted his chest and said, "This is a good thing. I will urge Xiaofeng to prepare well when I go back."
The two said goodbye to Qian Yanqiu, Returned to Dengfeng City.
Huanzhugege 1 is currently on the air at this time, and its ratings once reached 54%, which was a huge crowd.
Chen Linfeng reviewed it again.
A few people in their youth. From obscurity to fame, he lost himself in the adulation of countless people.
Some became legal professionals, some were forced to change careers, and some had a bad reputation. Those actors who failed to stabilize became memes and were ridiculed by later generations of netizens as "There are no good people under the influence of Grandma Rong."
Why do you think of this? Because of Chen Linfeng's recent experience in school.
For the first time in his life, he enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by others. He felt a little drifting. Now he urgently needs to correct his mentality.
The Happy Little Monk was filmed in 1996 and premiered in mainland China last year. Most of the classmates in the class also knew about Chen Linfeng's appearance in the TV series.
But because most TVs at this time could only receive virtual signals through antennas, the number of TV stations that could be viewed was limited.
During this summer vacation, "Happy Little Monk" was broadcast on Central Plains Provincial Station.
This is the first time for local students to see Chen Linfeng’s performance on TV.
Whether a person is blessed by a role or not, his personal charm is completely different.
Knowing and seeing are also different.
This time Chen Linfeng returned to school, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
As soon as get out of class is over, there are always students from other classes who come to the window to watch.
The teacher teased him several times. During class, Chen Linfeng always felt a chill in his back, as someone was looking at him.
"Xiao Feng, you are really different now. There are even girls in the next class asking to marry you."
Zhao Yuming looked hot, "You are really popular with girls now. Welcome, can you share some with me?”
“Okay, I’ll give it to you.” Chen Linfeng had a headache.
Fortunately, the adults in the alley watched him grow up. Shi Xiaolong was also a child star, so everyone got used to it somewhat. There was no big change in the attitude of his friends towards him, which is gratifying.
However, the movies of this era are not as popular as TV series after all. Brother Long has also made several movies, but he has never seen such a big success.
On the way home from school, people were staring at Chen Linfeng.
"Fortunately, I don't usually like to go out to play. I hope this heat will pass as soon as possible." Chen Linfeng thought silently. When he got home from school, Shi Xiaolong also just got home from school. When he saw him, he smiled, "The big star is back."
Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes, "Who are you talking about, the big star? Shi Xiaolong, the famous Chinese martial arts child star."
Shi Xiaolong was actually a little sour. His classmates have been blocking him in the past few days to ask about his younger brother.
But he suddenly thought about how his brother would feel when he was making a movie.
Maybe the younger brother's feelings would be obvious at that time, because he could only stay at home at that time, and Shi Xiaolong felt a little guilty.
For the first time, he realized the subtle emotions in people's hearts.
Chen Linfeng had a premonition that at Shi Xiaolong's age, he might feel uncomfortable because of the slight gap, especially since he had not acted much in the past two years and was worried.
So he said with relief, "In the whole of China, you are much more famous than me. It's just that not many people in our small county have VCDs at home, so I don't know how you are doing."
He was comforting me. Shi Xiaolong suddenly realized that he felt even more uncomfortable.
It turns out that the adults said that the Chen family’s younger brother is more like an older brother. But as the older brother, I should be the one who comforts my younger brother!
Why does it seem to be messed up? Chen Linfeng was a little confused and simply changed the topic.
"I recently thought of a new song. Come and listen to it for me."
"Are you inspired again?" Shi Xiaolong's attention was diverted as expected.
The two walked into their room.
Chen Linfeng often played the music he composed for Shi Xiaolong and asked him to judge whether it sounded good or not.
Shi Xiaolong always puts forward his own opinions truthfully when he hears some good music and some mediocre ones (the bad ones are all written by Chen Linfeng himself).
Shi Xiaolong thought about what happened to his elder brother and younger brother again. At this moment, he felt that as an elder brother, he had played a lot of roles, and he felt much better.
What Chen Linfeng created (borrowed) this time was Yoshida Kiyoshi’s Distant Journey, and renamed it Datang.
When he was writing the script at screenwriter Qian, he thought of this tune and felt that its grand and melodious tone was in line with his imagination of the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Linfeng played the dulcimer and guqin respectively.
“One has a bit of percussion feel, and the other is string music. Wouldn’t it be better to combine the two?” After listening to it, Shi Xiaolong tilted his head and thought for a while before saying.
Clever, the original song is a combination of wind instruments and percussion.
“Brother Long’s appreciation ability has greatly improved recently.” Chen Linfeng praised.
“I think about it again. My musical instrument skills are only good enough to fool laymen. I still need to find professionals to play and try more combinations.”
Chen Linfeng doesn’t want to simply play again. At this time, Yoshida Kiyoshi in his previous life used many traditional Japanese instruments and even electronic synthesized sounds.
He wanted to use traditional Chinese instruments as much as possible to try a different feeling.
"I think you play well, but it doesn't take long to listen to the few songs you composed." With the intro, interlude and outro, the time will not seem short."
"Oh, I understand." Shi Xiaolong nodded in understanding.
It was time to go to bed around nine o'clock, and the two of them were lying on the bed chatting.
“The recent songs are quite good, but some people in the industry do not follow the rules, and some people directly steal other people’s ideas and claim them as their own. You have to be careful.” Shi Xiaolong thought of what he had heard in the industry After seeing and hearing, he ordered.
Are you trying to insinuate me, you little bastard?
Of course Chen Linfeng knew that Shi Xiaolong could not know his secret, so he responded.
“Yes, I know.”
“Some time ago, my father went to the Copyright Office to register and file. He even found friends in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan to help with copyright matters. It cost a lot of money."
"I feel that the recent songs are very good and the money is worth it," Shi Xiaolong said confidently.
