Chapter 236: Being famous, writing the theme song for the movie "Loess Plateau"? (please order in full)
After greeting the judges and teachers here and being polite, Cheng Xuemin was once again led to the position of the award-winning writer by Lao Pan who received him at the venue!
This time the award-winning writer was placed in the third row in front. When Cheng Xuemin walked over, Jia Aoping and Mo Shen were already seated!
“Xuemin, this way!”
Seeing Cheng Xuemin coming this way, Jia Aoping quickly greeted and shouted.
"Teacher Pan, I'll go there myself. You're welcome. There's an acquaintance over there!"
Cheng Xuemin's position was originally arranged in the middle of the third row. Seeing Jia Aoping on the right greeting him, he said something to Lao Pan.
"Okay, then, Xuemin, come back and go to the humanities club. You forgot to bring the new little book back to draw the day before yesterday!"
Lao Pan said to Cheng Xuemin with a smile.
"Okay Teacher Pan, I will do it when I have time!"
The last time I went to the Humanities Society to sign in and submit my manuscript, I received the royalties but did not come back to draw the novel because Cheng Xuemin really didn’t have much time to draw during this period.
Now I have been paying off my debts and rushing to finish the manuscript. If I want to draw a little book, I will wait until after the college entrance examination.
"Old Jia, when did you come here!?"
"On the 13th, I waited for you all at the Humanities Club!"
When Cheng Xuemin approached Jia Gaoping, he glanced at the back of the hall. He saw many acquaintances, and they were all busy nodding to them.
The seventh or eighth row behind Jia Aoping saw Lu Yao, Hu Cai and the others, and nodded.
Then he came to Jia Gaoping's side, greeted him and asked.
"Xuemin, we know! Lao Hu, Lao Lu and I also came here on the 13th!"
"It was just a report from the Humanities Society that arrived at around five o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Editor-in-Chief Li of the Humanities Society and others mentioned to us that Xuemin had been waiting for us all day!"
Jia Aoping quickly moved to an empty seat next to him, gave a seat to Cheng Xuemin, and said.
"Ha! That's not a coincidence!" Cheng Xuemin was stunned when he heard Jia Gaoping say that they also arrived on the 13th, and then said with a wry smile, "I forgot. I came from our provincial capital. The train seems to be the one at three o'clock in the afternoon. I should have thought that if you were to arrive, you would have to arrive at four or five o'clock in the afternoon!"
Cheng Xuemin had indeed forgotten this. There was only one train from their provincial capital every day, arriving in Yanjing at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, if there was no delay!
Cheng Xuemin didn’t just sit there once, he should remember this!
However, they were also waiting for Yanhe Literature that day. In fact, they were waiting for Li Shuguang from the Humanities Society to approve the royalties for the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Once the royalties were received, Cheng Xuemin went back without waiting too long.
"Yes, it is true that there is only one trip at three o'clock in the afternoon..." Jia Gaoping was still reminiscing with Cheng Xuemin. He noticed that Mo Shen next to him tugged at him, and then he realized and quickly introduced to Cheng Xuemin, "Yes. Dear Xuemin, this is our local writer Mo Shen from northern Shaanxi!”
"The award-winning "Window" was written by Lao Mo!"
It's actually Moshen? !
When Cheng Xuemin heard this name, he was extremely surprised on the spot, but he soon felt relieved!
Didn't he introduce Jia Aoping just now? It's not surprising that they are a local writer in northern Shaanxi!
Because in the following decades, Mo Shen, Lu Yao and Jia Aoping were known as the Three Musketeers in northern Shaanxi literary circles. They all played a decisive role in the achievements of modern literature.
Immediately, Cheng Xuemin quickly stood up and greeted Mo Shen in front of him: "Hello, Teacher Mo. I was deeply inspired by "Window" that you published in "Yanhe Literature" early last year!"
"It can be said that it is a very excellent manuscript on par with Teacher Liu's "Class Teacher"!"
Cheng Xuemin is right, because if it weren't for his little butterfly, Mo Shen's "Window" would have won the first prize together with Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" and Lu Xinhua's "Scar".
This shows how influential Moshen's "Window" is.
and!
This is why Liu Xinwu and Lu Xinhua took a new approach, boldly wrote a scar literature, created this school of thought, and reaped the dividends of the founder.
Otherwise, if we really want to compare it, it will be completely defeated by Mo Shen's "Window".
It can be seen how capable Moshen was back then!
But this is all hypothetical. Now there is an anomaly like Cheng Xuemin. This time the awards are not divided into first, second and third prizes.
In an instant, Mo Shen felt so flattered that he quickly stretched out his hands to hold Cheng Xuemin's hand, shook hands and said excitedly: "No, Xuemin, you are so polite, just call me Lao Mo!"
"Furthermore, I just found out that Xuemin, you are the appointed pioneer of reform, Old Qiao. Compared with you, Xuemin, I am really far behind!"
"Yes, yes, Xuemin, don't call me Teacher Mo, Teacher Mo! We are all about the same age, just call him Lao Mo like us!" Jia Aoping, who was next to him, also said.
Are they about the same age?
Although we are both born in the 1950s, Lao Jia Laomo and Lao Lu were either born in 1950 or 1951. Cheng Xuemin was born at the end of 1958, so there is a age difference of seven or eight years.
Of course, Cheng Xuemin must have responded politely: "We are indeed about the same age, so Lao Mo!"
"Old Jia and Lao Mo, you arrived in Yanjing the day before yesterday. Why didn't you come to my place yesterday? Did I leave an address for the Humanities Society?"
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xuemin asked, hadn't he made an appointment in the letter before that he would definitely go to Yanjing's house and sit there?
Cheng Xuemin estimated that he had been waiting at home all day yesterday.
"You know, you know, when we signed in, the Humanities Club mentioned to us that Xuemin, you left us your address!"
"But we also thought that we could meet at the venue today, so we didn't go there!"
“I’m thinking that after the meeting is over, I’ll pay a special visit to save time!”
Jia Aoping took Cheng Xuemin's hand, gestured to sit down again, and explained.
"That's okay, that's okay. After today's meeting, let's go sit at home together, okay, Lao Mo?" Cheng Xuemin extended the invitation again.
"Okay, okay!" Lao Mo nodded nervously and said yes.
"Yeah, yeah, let's see what arrangements he makes when we meet with Lao Hu later! After our meeting, we will stay here in Yanjing for two or three days!" Jia Aoping and Cheng Xuemin were old acquaintances, so they said more Two sentences.
Cheng Xuemin nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, after the meeting is over later, I will meet with Lao Hu and Lao Lu to make an appointment!"
"Xuemin, I just heard from Lao Jia that three of your manuscripts won awards this time?" Mo Shen was reserved and awkward for a while. After everyone got familiar with each other through chatting, he couldn't help but ask.
After hearing Mo Shen's inquiry, Jia Aoping nodded and asked, "Yes, Xuemin, how did I hear that three of your manuscripts won awards this time?"
"Besides the Loess Plateau of our Yanhe Literature and the account of Director Qiao's appointment, which other article is there?"
"Is it "Chen Huansheng's Entry into the City" published in "Harvest" in Shanghai? But I looked for it and found that it was only published this year?"
Still got asked!
Cheng Xuemin nodded with a wry smile, and together with Jia Aoping and Mo Shen, explained: "It is indeed rumored that three of my manuscripts have won awards!" "In the Heart of an Inch of Grass", these three articles actually do not include "Loess High Slope" which I published in our Yanhe Literature."
"What? "The Herdsman" published in "Yanjing Literature" at the end of last year was also written by you, Xuemin?"
Jia Gaoping was immediately shocked and dumbfounded. It turned out that the three award-winning manuscripts reported outside did not include the Loess Gaopo published in Yanhe Literature?
Mo Shen was even more shocked and confused, and asked in shock: "Doesn't that mean, Xuemin, you have been selected for four manuscripts this time, not three?"
The three articles published outside do not include the Loess Plateau of Yanhe Literature. If they were added, wouldn’t it be four articles?
Oh my dear mother!
I just heard that this Beijing-based writer from northern Shaanxi, Huang Tu Gaopo, had won three prizes for his articles this time. At that time, Mo Shen felt so arrogant that he pinned him to the ground and rubbed him!
I was originally guessing which of Cheng Xuemin’s other articles would win the award, except for Director Qiao’s appointment and Loess Gaopo!
But I didn’t know if I didn’t ask. I was shocked when I asked!
The three articles that were co-authored by external sources did not include their Yanhe Literature article. Cheng Xuemin’s award-winning manuscripts were not three, but four! ?
“Four articles?!” Jia Aoping also reacted and was confused!
Okay!
This is thanks to the fact that Jia Aoping, Mo Shen and the two of them are in a position near the corridor on the right, around the front and back, and no one has come to sit down yet.
Otherwise, the reaction of Jia Aoping and Mo Shen would have blown up the whole venue.
"Actually six!"
Since they were all asked about this, Cheng Xuemin couldn't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, so he could only lower his head and whisper in their ears, telling the truth.
"What?"
"Keep your voice down, Lao Jia, don't let us explode before the meeting starts!"
Seeing that Jia Aoping was about to explode on the spot, Cheng Xuemin quickly held him down and reminded him softly again.
"Six articles?!"
"Xuemin, you, you, you...how did you do it?"
Moshen was also horrified on the spot, his tone was extremely trembling, and he tried his best to restrain his voice as he asked in surprise.
"Six chapters?! Xuemin, you..."
The same thing happened to Jia Gaoping, who was being held down. His face was full of disbelief. He didn't know what to say about the guy in front of him!
“Actually, I didn’t expect to win so many awards! In addition to these four articles, the female college dormitory I published in Shanghai Literature and Art at the end of last year, and the traitor I published in “Harvest” were also selected for awards! "
"The dormitory for female college students in Shanghai Literature and Art was also written by you, Xuemin?"
Regarding Shanghai Literature and Art, Jia Gaoping has the most say, because he was selected for the award-winning "Full Moon", which was published in Shanghai Literature and Art.
Moreover, when Shanghai Literature and Art sent him a letter of introduction, they mentioned that only three of their manuscripts won awards in this selection. The other one was "Our Army Commander" written by Deng Youmei, which was published in July last year. Shanghai literary and artistic.
Moshen next to him was indeed numb. Six manuscripts were selected for awards in one breath. Is this still a human being?
And the Cheng Xuemin in front of me is too young, just a boy in his early twenties!
Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded, and then chatted a few more words with Lao Jia Laomo and the others.
"No!? Lao Mo, why do you think that your West Film Studio wants me to write a theme song for "Loess High Slope"?"
While chatting, Mo Shen actually made such a request to Cheng Xuemin on behalf of Xiying Studio!
This is when Cheng Xuemin learned that Mo Shen had just been transferred to the West Film Studio and participated in the filming of the film adaptation of "Loess High Slope".
In addition to receiving the award this time, he also brought Xiying Studio to ask him for a draft.
And instead of writing a movie script, I wrote a theme song for his "Loess High Slope"!
This... why is Xiying Studio so out-of-the-box? It actually asked a writer, Cheng Xuemin, to ask for a theme song?
"Yes, yes! Xuemin, you went south to perform at the front line some time ago, right? No wonder you didn't reply to any of Lao Lu's letters!"
Jia Gaoping also nodded beside him and said, "And we also heard that the song "Bloodstained" that has spread all over the country was written by you, Xuemin?"
"Uh! Have you heard this, Lao Jia?" Cheng Xuemin finally realized why Xiying Studio asked him to write a song!
"Then that's right!"
"Our Xiying Studio Lao Wu wants you, Xuemin, to help write a theme song. Do you think it's okay?"
Mo Shen also nodded and looked at Cheng Xuemin with pleading eyes.
Write a theme song for Loess Gaopo? !
Cheng Xuemin really didn't think about this before, but now that Mo Shen brought it up, several suitable songs quickly flashed into his mind.
Xintianyou?
Farmer?
But soon, Cheng Xuemin chose the classic northern Shaanxi folk song "Loess High Slope" with the same name as "Loess High Slope".
That’s it!
Immediately, Cheng Xuemin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, since Director Wu has given this task to me, I promise to complete it!"
"Xuemin, you have agreed, right?"
Mo Shen, who was still very nervous and looking forward to it, couldn't help but clapped his legs and asked in confirmation when he heard that Cheng Xuemin agreed.
"I promise, I promise, I'll try to write the song out when you guys go back, Old Mo. Then you can take it back to Director Wu and the others to try!"
"Can it be so fast?"
This time, Mo Shen and the others were speechless again. They all said that Cheng Xuemin was a talented writer who was not only very productive but also of high quality.
I never expected that I could write songs so quickly?
“I’ll try, I’ll try my best. If it’s not finished by then, I’ll just send it again and it’ll be the same!”
"Ah, this is your seat? Sorry, sorry!"
Just when they were chatting enthusiastically, people started to come to the seats next to them. Cheng Xuemin quickly stood up and said embarrassedly.
"Xuemin, your place is over here!"
Following Liu Xinwu, who was sitting in the middle, he waved to Cheng Xuemin and shouted!
"Okay Teacher Liu!" Cheng Xuemin nodded to Old Liu over there, and then said to Jia Aoping and Mo Shen, "Old Jia Lao Mo, let's talk together after we finish the meeting!"
"Okay, okay, Xuemin, hurry over first! The conference is about to start!"
Jia Aoping also looked at the time and found that it was almost nine o'clock, and the judges on the podium were almost already seated!
"good!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and moved towards his position in the middle.
"Xuemin, what are you talking about? Are you so absorbed in talking?"
Liu Xinwu offered his hand, welcomed Cheng Xuemin over, and asked, "It must be your six award-winning manuscripts that have surprised people, right?"
