Chapter 113 Interview, you have to act like this as your daughter the king!

Chapter 113 Interview, you have to act like this as your daughter the king!

This issue of People's Literature magazine has just been put on shelves in Yanjing and it has become a hit!

Because there are three warm-up preparations before and after, it can be regarded as attracting readers' attention.

The first time was the competition between "Yenjing Literature" and "October". It was from here that the atomic bomb was first spread.

The second time was at the "Wrangler" symposium. The literary giant Teacher Ding Lingding once again predicted in front of major media newspapers and magazines that the atomic bomb would soon come, and it was continuously warmed up by various publicity.

The third emergency meeting above alarmed all front-line media newspapers and magazines in Yanjing.

Coupled with the recent unabated popularity of the author of "Wrangler", the influence of "People's Literature" itself has directly caused this issue of People's Literature to sell out as soon as it was put on the shelves!

Especially on the Yanda campus, almost all the students are either looking through this issue of People's Literature or discussing the only novel article in this issue: "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao"!
"Jiayou, is this novel really written by your family's Lao Xu? But why didn't you use the pen name of 'Lao Xu' instead of Lao Qiao?"

"That's right! I changed my pen name to Lao Qiao. Everyone thinks it doesn't look like it was written by your family's Lao Xu. The writing style is a bit too big!"

"But the writing is really good. I heard that it was a custom-made political task assigned to your elder Xu by the higher authorities. Is it specially written to match the spirit of this plenary session?"

"It's going to open up. Will everything really start to open up slowly?"

In Feng Jiayou's class, Huang Beijia, Cha Jianying and others were all reading this issue of "People's Literature". They all gathered around Feng Jiayou and asked questions about it, which received rave reviews.

Feng Jiayou was really happy and said: "Originally, Xuemin wanted to use the pen name 'Lao Xu', but People's Literature thought it would be better to use 'Lao Qiao', and we don't know why we should use Xin." pen name!"

Feng Jiayou was indeed right, although at the beginning, when Cheng Xuemin submitted the manuscript, he was indeed planning to publish it with the new vest "Lao Qiao".

But later, with the exposure of the author of his "Wrangler", Lao Xu, and because this pen name continued to warm up and ferment, he felt that publishing under the pen name of "Lao Xu" might achieve better results.

Therefore, when the manuscript was assigned to "People's Literature", Cheng Xuemin mentioned changing back to the pen name of "Old Xu" and publishing this article "Notes on the Assumption of Director Qiao".

However, Zhang Guangnian of "People's Literature" rejected it. They thought it would be better to use the pen name "Lao Qiao", not only because it matched the protagonist of the article, but also because they did not want to compete with Lao Li of "Yenjing Literature"!
At that time, Cheng Xuemin said funnyly, what's so fussy about a pen name?

Lao Zhang told Cheng Xuemin again that this Xuemin won’t understand it now, but he will understand it in a few years!

Will you understand after a few years?

But Cheng Xuemin can only whet other people's appetites, and how can he not be fully whetted by others? Then he won't be able to live a good life this year.

He chased after Lao Zhang and kept asking, and then he was mentioned in a cryptic and low-key manner: Lao Wu summoned Lao Mao and Lao Ba for a meeting, but there was actually another reason.

Preparations for the Literary Congress should be resumed immediately, and the relevant award selection work will also be launched in the spring after the new year.

So let Cheng Xuemin think about it!
When the time comes for the grand prize selection, the "Wrangler" article from "Yenjing Literature" will definitely be submitted to newspapers for selection, and it will definitely be submitted under the pen name of 'Lao Xu'. Then their "People's Literature" article "Qiaochang" will definitely be submitted for selection. If "The Story of a Long Service" is published under the pen name of 'Lao Xu', how should it be submitted for selection?
Submit two articles under the same pen name?
It’s not impossible, but there are very few articles that will win awards in that year. So which one will be reviewed first and which one will be pushed back a year?
Can’t we fight?
Substitute ‘Lao Qiao’. When the time comes, the two pen names will be submitted separately for selection and all will be reviewed. The author Cheng Xuemin will have to take off directly.

At that time, Cheng Xuemin's eyes were rolling wildly. Has Lao Zhang considered all this for him?

Moreover, have there been rumors about awards now?
But it’s right to think about it, it’s already the end of December of 1978, and it’s really time to start the awarding process in the spring of next year!

But according to Lao Zhang's logic, Cheng Xuemin may not only submit these two manuscripts for selection and awards!

Shanghai Literature and Art has an article called "Female College Students' Dormitory" that has received a good response, and "Yanhe Literature" has a very regional article called "Loess Plateau". The four articles are all in different directions, and they are all good. manuscript.

According to the above-mentioned direction of awarding, it is possible that all four articles may be rated at once in the same year.

After all, there are four manuscripts and four vests, and no one knows that they were all written by Cheng Xuemin.

At that time, Cheng Xuemin didn't expect that he just wanted to get a few more vests and build a small treasury in Jiaotu Sanku.

Who would have thought that he would do such a big thing by accident!
We still don’t know what will happen when all the reviews are published. Anyway, the small treasury created by Cheng Xuemin will definitely explode and cannot be saved!
So this is also Cheng Xuemin’s plan to change the small treasury in another direction, illustrating little books.

There are basically no awards for this, and it is all about making a fortune in silence. As long as Cheng Xuemin doesn't blow himself up, the small treasury will basically not be exposed.

"Sister Lin, I'm not here to apply for a job, I'm here with my eldest brother to have a look!"

Faced with Zhu Lin's inquiry, Cheng Xuemin replied politely!
"Oh! That's right. You are so good at writing articles now, and I heard that you are still studying to prepare for next year's college entrance examination. You will be admitted to Yanda University to go to college with your family, so you really don't have to look for a job for the time being!"

After Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, he nodded and responded!

Now Feng Jiayou's lover is so good at writing articles. Shanshan heard from her deskmate Feng Jiamo that her brother-in-law's monthly manuscript fee was only a few hundred yuan more. Going out to work?

Moreover, he is still repeating his studies at the High School Affiliated to Yanda University, preparing to take the college entrance examination next year, and he will attend Yanda University together with Feng Jiayou.

Let alone that!

It happened that we met at the entrance of Yanying Factory, and there was news about recruiting workers today, so Zhu Lin asked.

"It's okay, okay, I just wrote it casually for fun!"

Cheng Xuemin didn't tell Zhu Lin that he was here to discuss the script with Yan Film Studio.

After saying hello at the door, my uncle Feng Jiazhao parked his bicycle and walked over here!
"Zhu Lin, are you here to apply for a job?"

"With your talent, it shouldn't be a big problem, just perform well and perform normally!"

When Feng Jiazhao saw Zhu Lin, he also said hello.

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Jiazhao. I'll go in and fill out the form first and queue up!" Zhu Lin greeted with a smile, and then went in and queue up without staying long. There was already a long queue inside.

Obviously, Zhu Lin and her family are not the only ones who know that Yanying Factory is recruiting workers today.

"Our Yan Film Studio has just recovered and has launched several script projects. We are in urgent need of some actors!"

"Originally, we were going to transfer people to Renyi, or recruit people from Yandian, but now that the educated youth have returned to the city, there is a lot of pressure from above, and we have instructed each unit to absorb as much as they can!"

"So we at Yan Film Studio have also begun to recruit some actors with acting talent or foundation!"

Following his uncle Feng Jiazhao into the Yanying Factory, Feng Jiazhao pointed to the long queue over there and explained to Cheng Xuemin.

Again, there are too many educated youths returning to the city now, and the higher authorities simply cannot arrange them.

This is the same situation as before the educated youth went to the countryside. There were few jobs in the city and there were many unemployed young people, so we called on young people to go to the countryside and make a difference in the vast rural areas. Now they are all back, and almost all of them are back in a swarm. You can imagine how much pressure there is on employment in society!
"That's true. When I was at the Humanities Club yesterday, I saw Lao Zhang and Lao Li working on recruiting new people!"

"They also asked me if I was thinking of working as an editor with them. If I wanted to go, I would arrange for a formal establishment!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded, now he is a hot potato!

Not to mention the olive branch from the Humanities Society. When I went to Yanda yesterday, I was thanked by the elder of the Yanda Library and extended an olive branch, which is also officially established.

However, Cheng Xuemin didn't mention it to anyone when he came back, and only the Feng family knew about it.

"Really? Why didn't I hear you mention it to your family? The formal establishment of the Humanities Club is very difficult. Others are trying to get in, but even if I want to go there, they may not want it!"

Feng Jiazhao was stunned for a time. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. The Humanities Society sent out an invitation, and everyone wanted to go!
But my brother-in-law didn’t even mention it to his family.

"Brother, you are so humble! If you, a well-known screenwriter, want to go to the Humanities Club, people will definitely rush to get you!"

Cheng Xuemin smiled bitterly and complimented his uncle.

In fact, he is doing quite well now. He is writing manuscripts and illustrating, and while buying a big house for a woman, his small coffers are also getting fuller.

I don’t feel so comfortable when I really go to the Humanities Club or the Yanda Library.

Moreover, the Yanda Library is fine. If you go to the Humanities Club, it will be difficult to take the Yanda entrance examination next year.

If he doesn't take the Yanda exam, won't he be unable to fulfill the promise he made when he first joined the Feng family?
Maybe the father-in-law and mother-in-law won’t say anything else!
But for Cheng Xuemin, it is somewhat flawed. What if old scores are turned over later?
And Cheng Xuemin also figured it out!

A college diploma in any era is a golden sign and a stepping stone.

It doesn't mean that you can choose not to go to school again because you have already attended it. After all, you have to get the university diploma first.

You may not need it now, but you must have it and be prepared! Otherwise, it will be used later and it will definitely be too late if you think about it!
Feng Jiayou’s plan is to hope that Cheng Xuemin can use the influence of writing manuscripts to pursue an official career in the future.

Then you have to take the college entrance examination and get the diploma from Yanda.

With a diploma from Yanda, Cheng Xuemin's career will go further in the future.

In fact, Cheng Xuemin himself thought the same way. If he had to start a new life again, he would inevitably feel that something was missing if he did not take an official career!
After all, it is too easy for Cheng Xuemin to make money now!
But in this life, why do you need so much money?
Let’s take an official career. The general direction is there. Cheng Xuemin believes that he can go far.

"What Xuemin said...actually, I feel the same way!"

The eldest uncle Feng Jiazhao nodded at Cheng Xuemin and seemed to want to say a few words of modesty, but he kept talking too much!

I said you were fat and you started to pant. You are worthy of being an uncle!

"Lao Teng, Lao Xie, Lao Jiang, are you all here? I brought him here for you. If you have anything to do, you can talk to Xuemin!"

When Cheng Xuemin was introduced to the office of Lao Teng, the chief screenwriter of Yanying Studio, he happened to see Xie Jin and Jiang Huaiyan, the drafting team leader of Yanying Studio, also there, so they said hello and shouted together!

"Xuemin, you're here, come and sit down!" Xie Jin took the spotlight and greeted Cheng Xuemin quickly when he saw him.

"Hello, Director Xie!" Cheng Xuemin looked at Xie Jin with a smile and said hello.

At the same time, I also gave my uncle Feng Jiazhao a look. Can you be a bit discerning? Just say "Lao Teng, Lao Xie, Lao Jiang" and that's it?

Can you please help introduce me? Cheng Xuemin wouldn’t call me Lao Teng Lao Jiang when we meet him for the first time, right?
"Ah! Oh, yes!" Feng Jiazhao reacted to his brother-in-law's incomprehension, and quickly introduced him, "Xuemin, this is Lao Teng, the director of our screenwriting department, and this is our script editor. Team up the Yangtze River!”

"Hello, Teacher Teng, hello, Teacher Jiang, I'm Cheng Xuemin!"

Or go directly to Lao Teng Lao Jiang... Cheng Xuemin can only follow the teacher's shouts and say hello!

"Xiao Cheng! I've heard about you for a long time! The author of "Wrangler" is Lao Xu himself!" Chief screenwriter Lao Teng was nearly sixty years old. When he saw Cheng Xuemin come in, he greeted Cheng Xuemin with a smile on his face!

"I didn't expect that Xiao Cheng, your article is so good, and the script is also so good. It's really awesome!"

Chang Jiang, the editorial team member, also greeted Cheng Xuemin with a smile!
"The two teachers laughed at each other. In fact, it is my elder brother who teaches better. Director Xie also gave me a lot of guidance!"

Cheng Xuemin replied humbly, and by the way, he also praised his uncle. They were all a family anyway, and his mother-in-law would definitely like to hear this, even if she was not present now.

"No, no, no! Xuemin, please stop being humble to us. I didn't even have a hand in your script, let alone direct it!"

"Xuemin, you are so good at writing scripts, even Lao Teng praises you!"

Xie Jin waved his hands repeatedly at the side. He was not greedy for this skill. Not to mention coaching, he also got a lot of credit. Xuemin even drew all the storyboards for him.

As a result, he has been in retreat at Yanying Studio these days. He couldn't think of a better inspiration than this storyboard!
In the end, we could only make small adjustments on the basis of Cheng Xuemin. It can be regarded as Xie Jin’s final stubbornness as a director!
As for the uncle Feng Jiazhao next to him, he has already taken the initiative to help the leader pour tea and water and show his courtesy!
Can’t tell!

My eldest uncle, Feng Jiazhao, is the eldest brother in the family. He is a very lazy person, but in front of the boss, he is very attentive and knows how to get into trouble!
After a few polite words to each other, we officially entered the theme of this meeting. The script is already very good and does not need to be revised.

The reason why I have been waiting until now is that I am still waiting for Xie Jin's storyboards to come out.

The other thing is exactly what Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou guessed, they mentioned the issue of script royalties!

Two thousand dollars!
This surprised Cheng Xuemin, because on the way here, his uncle Feng Jiazhao and he had already been vaccinated, and the script fee might only be 1,700 yuan, not the 2,000 yuan he had mentioned at the beginning!
But now, as the director of the screenwriting department, Lao Teng wrote a pen, and the person who signed the instructions told Cheng Xuemin that it was two thousand, which surprised Cheng Xuemin and his uncle Feng Jiazhao.

"Jia Zhao and Xue Min, are you talking about one thousand and seven?" Lao Teng saw the confusion of the two uncles and said, "It's like this when you add it to two thousand. It just so happens that our Yanying Factory is recruiting workers today. The script used for the interview happened to be Xuemin’s script!”

"So today, I would like to ask you, Xuemin, as the original author and screenwriter, to help me interview you and see if you can dig out some good seeds from these newcomers. Director Xie will use them directly!"

"Teacher Teng, Director Xie, is there a new person in this script?"

Cheng Xuemin heard what Lao Teng meant, that is, take the script and go directly to auditions for new actors?
"I have this plan, but it depends on the results of today's interview, so Xuemin, you will help check it later!"

Xie Jin nodded and made it clear to Cheng Xuemin!

A thought flashed through!
Doesn’t this mean that Cheng Xuemin turned around and became the interviewer of King Zhu Lin of the Daughter Kingdom?
