Chapter 243 Xuemin, you are actually a specially appointed teacher of Yan University (please subscribe for full order)
The weather is hot now, and you have to get up early in the morning. Nine o'clock is already a big morning.
Yanying Factory is closer to Cheng Xuemin's home, so Xie Jin, who lives in the guest house of Yanying Factory, got there first.
I heard that Cheng Xuemin was pregnant, so he didn’t come here empty-handed.
I also brought along a copy of today's People's Daily, which indeed reported on yesterday's awards ceremony held at the Great Hall of the People.
In particular, Cheng Xuemin, a pioneer in reform, won six awards in one breath, and was reported very prominently. Lao Xie came in just to read the newspaper to Cheng Xuemin.
"Director Xie, I'm really embarrassed to ask the crew to postpone it. I'd like to trouble you to go through two or three troubles!"
Sitting under the tree in the front yard, Cheng Xuemin apologized to Xie Jin again after mentioning today's newspaper report.
"Xuemin, please don't say that. I heard from Jiazhao that I had a lot of experience going south to express my condolences to you this time. What a blessing!"
It was only after Xie Jin returned to Yanjing this time that he learned from Feng Jiazhao why it took so long for Cheng Xuemin to go south to offer condolences.
Hearing this on the spot, he was shocked and horrified, and also felt frightened for Cheng Xuemin.
"Xuemin, that's what I think!"
"After the Dragon Boat Festival, Jiazhao and I will leave with the crew. Are you okay with the arrangements here?"
After chatting with Cheng Xuemin, Xie Jin went straight to the point and talked about his arrangements.
Today is Sunday, June 16th, and the Dragon Boat Festival is next Thursday, which is the 20th.
Xie Jin's plan was to leave the day after the Dragon Boat Festival and ask Cheng Xuemin if there were any problems here.
"Director Xie, I will definitely be fine this time, and I will definitely not fall behind again!"
"After the college entrance examination is over in early July, I will leave as soon as possible and meet you there. It should be okay, right?"
Xie Jin led the crew to leave first, and Cheng Xuemin's arrangement was to go there immediately after the college entrance examination.
"No problem, no problem!"
"Before, in the theater studio of Yanying Studio, some scenes were shot almost the same. We went there half a month in advance, and it was almost the same!"
"It's just this damn weather. I hope the weather in the Northwest is cooler than in Yanjing!"
The filming of "Wrangler" was originally launched years ago, but because the starring role of Cheng Xuemin has never been scheduled, it has been delayed again and again!
Last winter lasted until this spring, and spring has turned into the hottest summer yet.
He also discovered that this year's weather was much hotter than last year's, so Xie Jin's worries were unreasonable.
"Everyone should try to overcome it when the time comes! I don't think our comrades have suffered any hardships? This difficulty should be overcome!"
The uncle Feng Jiazhao who was accompanying him was already ready to go out and have a big fight. Because he was hiding from his sister Feng Jiayou, he had been hiding in their work dormitory for more than three months.
Now we have finally started preparing to set off again. How can we not overcome the difficulty of the hot weather?
"Jia Zhao, you are right, and most of the plots in the script take place in the summer, so we don't need to deliberately create an atmosphere!"
Xie Jin also thought about the plot of "The Wrangler". In fact, most of it happened in the summer, and the weather was just right for filming in the past.
At least you don't have to show up shirtless on a cold day just to create a hot atmosphere.
Not long after chatting with Xie Jin, at about 9:30, Hu Cai, Lu Yao, Jia Aoping and Mo Shen from Yanhe Literature also found a place to poke their heads at the door!
I was about to ask if this was where I was, but when I saw Cheng Xuemin sitting in the yard, I shouted happily: "Xuemin, we are here!"
"Lao Hu, Lao Lu, Lao Jia and Lao Mo, you are here, come in, come in and sit down!"
"Isn't it difficult to find my place?"
When Cheng Xuemin saw Lao Hu and the others coming in from the door, he quickly stood up and greeted them.
My uncle Feng Jiazhao and Xie Jin both stood up and greeted him!
"Old Hu, you came here too?" Xie Jin even joked with Hu Cai and shouted hello.
"It's okay, it's right next to Yan University. It's pretty easy to find!" Hu Cai replied to Cheng Xuemin first.
"Yeah! Lao Xie, are you there too?"
Seeing Xie Jin there, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed and surprised.
They have known each other for a long time. In the past five years or so, before Xie joined Xiangxia Film Studio, he worked for a while at Xiying Film Studio.
Xiying Film Studio and Yanhe Literature are in the northern Shaanxi provincial capital. They are a pair of close brotherly units. They interact with each other in many places, so don't get too familiar with them.
"Haha, Lao Hu, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?"
Xie Jin stepped forward and hugged Hu Cai. Yesterday at the Great Hall of the People, they actually did not meet.
"Isn't it?"
Hu Cai shook hands repeatedly and couldn't say how happy he was to see Xie Jin. Cheng Xuemin first welcomed everyone into the main room in the front yard.
"Xuemin, you brought some fruit to your siblings, congratulations!"
Lu Yao put the fruits and malted milk in her hand on the table and congratulated Cheng Xuemin.
They also heard yesterday that Cheng Xuemin's lover had given birth to a baby some time ago, and she had given birth to a boy for Cheng Xuemin, and they came to say happy things.
"Thank you! Thank you! Lao Hu Lao Lu, you are so polite to come!"
Cheng Xuemin was dumbfounded. This era was still simple, and it was common for guests to come to the house empty-handed. Unlike a few decades later, it was common practice to come to the door empty-handed. If you didn't come to the door empty-handed, it would be because you were asking for help, and your purpose was not pure.
"Scare, the original manuscript with the pioneer inscription changed to it, is here?"
Hu Cai and the others came to visit Cheng Xuemin for the first time. After greeting each other politely, they naturally began to look at Cheng Xuemin's home.
When he saw the framed "Change the Pioneer" hanging in front of the hall, Hu Cai couldn't help but his eyes widened and he exclaimed.
This is a handwritten inscription!
Original manuscript!
It is better than the photocopied version printed in newspapers and magazines, and the real original manuscript with handwritten inscriptions.
"Ah, it's really the original manuscript with the handwritten inscription!"
Lu Yao, Jia Aoping and Mo Shen also saw it, and they couldn't help but stepped forward and observed it carefully.
"It's so majestic!"
"Xuemin, when this autographed manuscript is hung together with these certificates, the momentum instantly rises, and we can't help but stand in awe!"
Hu Cai said in amazement again, and Lu Yao and the others beside them also nodded.
It made Cheng Xuemin feel embarrassed. Maybe his mother-in-law posted the certificate last night just to be amazed like this?
It's a pity that the mother-in-law is out shopping for groceries and hasn't come back yet.
After that, I took Hu Cai and the others to visit the front and back yards. On the way back, I said hello to Feng Jiayou, who was raising the baby.
"Oh, right!"
"Old Mo, the song has been written. You can take it back and try it out first. If it doesn't work, we'll contact you then!"
Cheng Xuemin wrote the theme song of "Loess High Slope" last night and was waiting for Mo Shen to come over today and give it to him.
"What?"
"Xuemin, have you already written it? I, I, I... I think I just told you yesterday, right?"
When Cheng Xuemin suddenly mentioned the theme song, Mo Shen from Xiying Studio didn't react for a moment.
It seems like the song he made a promise to with Cheng Xuemin at the awards ceremony yesterday, right?
But it has only been one night, and Cheng Xuemin has already written the theme song of "Loess Plateau"?
Isn’t this speed a bit incredible?
“Fortunately, okay, when I woke up this morning, a sudden impulse came to me, so I improvised and wrote it!”
"But I don't know if it's good or not. Lao Mo, you can take it back and try it first! If it doesn't work, I'll write it again. I'll go back after the college entrance examination in a while!"
Of course Cheng Xuemin knew that writing a new song in one night was indeed a bit incredible.
But he is a "tribute copy type" player. If he is not fast, can he not embarrass the original work?
Immediately, he turned back to the room and took out the original lyrics of the lyrics on the desk.
"Lao Hu, what song is this!?"
"Are you, Yanhe Literature, going to publish the song for Scholars that he wrote when he went south to express his condolences?"
"People's Daily, didn't you publish it not long ago?"
Xie Jin also knew that Cheng Xuemin wrote a very inspiring song when he was visiting the front line to express condolences. Not long ago, at the beginning of the month, the People's Daily published the lyrics and music score.
how?
Will Yanhe Literature reprint and publish it for him again?
“Lao Xie, it’s not the song Xuemin wrote for the condolences performance, but the song “Loess High Slope” published by Xuemin in our Yanhe Literature. Our West Film Studio has already started filming the movie!”
"Mo Shen came here this time with a task from the factory. I hope Xuemin, the original author, can help compose a movie theme song!"
Hu Cai was also surprised by Cheng Xuemin's speed. They all said that he was eager to write manuscripts and was very productive.
But no matter how prolific he is, Mo Shen only asked him to write a song draft yesterday. How come he wrote it in just one night?
And from what Xuemin said, he woke up this morning and was so inspired that he wrote it out?
"Has your West Film Studio already launched "Loess High Slope"?"
"And let Xuemin write the theme song?"
"Xuemin, he..."
Xie Jin was dumbfounded again. Originally, he had thought that Xiying Film Studio would ask Cheng Xuemin to write the theme song. Could he do that?
Writing songs and composing music is different from writing manuscripts and scripts. It can be said that they are two different things.
Thinking that no matter how versatile Cheng Xuemin is, he might not be very good at writing songs and composing music, right?
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, because it turned out that Cheng Xuemin was indeed good at writing songs and composing music.
The songs written for the frontline condolence performances are now not only widely sung, but even the People's Daily has published the lyrics and composed the music, which has greatly fueled the situation.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin is really good at writing songs!
"Xuemin is quite good at writing songs. You said it yourself, Lao Xie, and the People's Daily has even published it!"
Hu Cai smiled and replied Xie Jin.
Soon, Cheng Xuemin also took out the theme song of Loess Gaopo and handed it to Mo Shen, saying, "Old Mo, please take it back and have a look first!"
"Is it really finished?" Mo Shen took the manuscript with a confused look on his face and opened it to read, "Loess Plateau?"
"Yes, this song is named after "Loess High Slope", also called Loess High Slope!" Cheng Xuemin explained.
"Loess high slope?"
When Hu Cai Luyao and the others heard this, they also came over and watched with Mo Shen.
I saw the lyrics on the manuscript paper, which were written like this:
My family lives on a high loess slope, and strong winds blow from the slope.
Whether it is northwest wind or southeast wind, it is my song, my song.
…
"Here, Xuemin, can you sing a cappella for us?"
Looking at the lyrics, to be honest, they are quite close to their folk customs in northern Shaanxi, but looking at the note of '1234567', their eyes are so wide that they can't understand it at all, let alone sing along with the note.
After all, they all write manuscripts and know nothing about music.
"Um...Old Mo, my throat is feeling a little uncomfortable today. You can take it home and try it first!"
It is impossible to sing a cappella. Cheng Xuemin will definitely not sing this song "Loess High Slope" a cappella in front of so many acquaintances!
It’s too cheerful and doesn’t fit Cheng Xuemin’s temperament at all.
Otherwise, as soon as Cheng Xuemin opens his mouth, the high-profile image he established at the awards ceremony yesterday will suddenly collapse.
Therefore, if you bring this theme song back to northern Shaanxi, use it if you think it is suitable. If not, don’t use it.
Anyway, if Cheng Xuemin was asked to sing, he would definitely not be able to open his mouth.
"Xuemin, do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?"
When Mo Shen heard this, he looked at Cheng Xuemin in confusion. They had been chatting for almost a whole morning, but he still couldn't hear any difference in Cheng Xuemin's voice. It was so normal, okay?
"Okay! Mo Shen, take it back first and let Old Wu take a look. If you have any questions, contact Xuemin later!"
Hu Cai knew that Cheng Xuemin was shirking, and he didn't know why he was shirking, so he helped him by saying that there was no need to break the casserole and ask the truth.
Whether the song is good or not will be known once you take it home and sing it.
You don’t have to wait until you return to northern Shaanxi. When you get back to the guest house, you can find someone who knows music and sing it for a try.
"That's fine!"
Moshen also reacted, nodded and put the manuscript away first.
Not long after, Feng's mother, who had gone out to buy groceries, came back with her three children, and she had to say hello.
"Hello, Teacher Xiao Cheng!"
"Hello, Teacher Xiao Cheng!"
When we were near Yanda, we couldn't make sense without going around the Yanda campus, so after sitting at Cheng Xuemin's house for half a morning, the group came to Yanda for a walk.
But not long after entering the Yanda campus, many young college students greeted Cheng Xuemin, a special lecturer.
Originally, after Cheng Xuemin was appointed as a distinguished lecturer at Yanda, he actually taught one class at Yanda.
But just one class made Cheng Xuemin recognized by all the teachers and students of Yan University, as well as college students from other schools and educated youth who returned to the city.
So, there is this scene now.
Cheng Xuemin was used to it. When students greeted him and said hello, teacher, he would just reply with a nod.
But Hu Cai, Lu Yao, Jia Aoping, Mo Shen and the others who were accompanying them were shocked!
What's going on! ?
Why do these Yan University students call Cheng Xuemin, a college entrance examination candidate who will take the college entrance examination this year, teacher?
"Xuemin, do they call you Teacher Xiaocheng?" Lu Yao couldn't hold back and asked in confusion.
"Old Hu Xiaolu, you still don't know that Xuemin has been specially appointed by Yenching University! He is now a specially appointed teacher in the Chinese Department of Yenching University!"
"The lecture he gave at Yanjing University caused a sensation in many universities here in Yanjing!"
Xie Jin next to him helped Cheng Xuemin, pretending to be cool and explained.
"What? Xuemin, you were specially recruited by Yenching University and became a teacher at Yenching University?" Jia Aoping exclaimed in disbelief, his face full of confusion and shock.
"Lao Hu, you really don't know?!" Seeing their reaction, Xie Jin asked again.
"It's true that I just found out about it, Xuemin... However, to be invited to be a teacher by the Institute of Literature and Literature, and to be invited to join the editorial board of the Humanities Society, Xuemin, you are indeed qualified to be a teacher for students like Yan University!"
What else could Hu Cai say?
Thinking that the Institute of Literature invited Cheng Xuemin to give lectures, Li Shuguang of the Humanities Society asked him to be an editorial board member, and he became a teacher for the undergraduates in the Chinese Department of Yanda, it is not surprising at all!
“Excuse me, is this Cheng Xuemin’s home?”
At home, there was another head at the front yard gate, peering inside and asking.
"Yes! Are you...Xiao Cui? Why are you here?"
Feng's mother happened to be picking vegetables in the front yard. When she saw someone looking for Cheng Xuemin at the door, she looked up.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Xiao Cui of People's Literature, and his son-in-law Xuemin was the editor there.
"Ah! Teacher Gu, you are at home!"
Of course Xiao Cui from People’s Literature knew the famous Teacher Gu, so he knew he was looking for the right place, so he hurriedly came in and said, “This is Teacher Gu, I’ve sent the form to Xuemin!”
"Xiao Cui, come sit down in the room. It was Lao Zhang who asked you to come here, right? Xuemin took some friends from Yanhe Literature to visit the Yanda campus!"
"Form? What form did you bring him?"
Mother Feng greeted Xiao Cui warmly, and asked confusedly about the form. Zhang Guangnian from People's Literature was needed to ask Xiao Cui to come and deliver it in person.
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
