The literary era since 1979

Chapter 161 When will you find a sister-in-law for me?

"Hello students!"

Facing the huge crowd, Fangyan waved and said hello.

"Hello, Teacher Fang!"

What responded to him was a roar like a tsunami. If there had been no outsiders present, they would have swarmed over.

Fang Yan learned from Xie Fei that not only he was invited this time, but also representatives from major film studios across the country.

At that time, there was no such thing as "finding a job" for college students. They were all guaranteed jobs. Even before they graduated, various government agencies would come to the school to poach their talents.

In addition to the eight major film studios including Beijing Film Academy, Changchun Film Studio, and Xi'an Film Studio, studios from Tianjin, western Guangxi and other places were also present today.

At this moment, they were scattered among the various student teams, looking at the movie posters drawn by the Fine Arts Department, listening to the Directing Department explain the conception of the film, looking at the men and women of the Acting Department, and admiring the photos taken by the Photography Department...

Once they have a general idea of ​​the situation, they will go to the screening room to watch the graduation short films and pick out the good candidates they are looking for.

"Teacher Fang!"

Li Shaohong, Hu Mei and others greeted Fangyan with smiles.

Gu Changwei nudged Brother Chen Kai with his elbow and said, "When you heard that Teacher Fang was coming, you happily recited a poem. Now that the real teacher is here, why don't you seem to be very happy?"

"You don't understand this."

Hu Mei joked, "Brother Kai is thinking about what poem to use to describe his feelings when he sees Teacher Fang at this moment."

"Really?"

Fangyan looked at Brother Chen Kai with a smile.

Brother Chen Kai looked very nervous when he was looked at. Although he was proud of being a well-deserved "poet" in Beijing Film Academy, he immediately showed his weakness in front of Teacher Fang and heard Li Shaohong exposing his past beside him.

"That's right, that's right. He was reciting Du Fu's poem at that time. Suddenly, news came from outside the sword that Jibei was taken back. When I first heard it, my clothes were soaked with tears, but when I saw..."

"I look at my wife, she is worried, and I am so happy that I am unrolling my poetry book."

Brother Chen Kai was displeased that Li Shaohong didn't pronounce it with his flavor, so he rushed to recite it.

Fangyan couldn't help laughing when he heard this poem.

Wow! Isn’t this the poem you recited on the spot when you were running for the position of chief director of the 08 Yanjing Olympic Games?

"What do you think of his use of this poem?"

Li Shaohong glanced at Brother Chen Kai.

As soon as Fangyan opened his mouth, he was patted on the shoulder.

"Iwa-Teacher Fang!"

"Old Mo!"

"Ahem, in public, just call me Teacher Mo."

Mo Shen greeted his friends enthusiastically.

Fang Yan said: "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Me too. I just heard the students calling your name and realized you were here too."

Mo Shen said that he came here with the deputy factory director this time.

Fang Yan asked, "I thought it would be Director Wu who came."

"He was going to come, but..."

Mo Shen said that "Life" is scheduled to be released in May, so Wu Tianming has to focus his work on it.

Fangyan walked and listened to him.

Since Wu Tianming became the factory director, he has drastically dismissed several older cadres, which has caused a lot of opposition voices in the factory.

Now we are hoping that "Life" can be the first fire to start and shut these people up.

"When we shoot The Great Qin, there will be less resistance."

Mo Shen smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't given your copies of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" and "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" to anyone else, right?"

The dialect joked, "Director Wu wants to use it to start a second or third fire?"

"One fire is enough. If we start another one, maybe we can promote a few more young people."

Mo Shen nodded. "He told us when he came here to recruit more talents from Beijing Film Academy, especially photographers."

Fangyan asked: "How many have you dug up now?"

"One, that Gu Changwei just now."

Mo Shen asked him if he knew any good photographers in this session, with priority given to those in northern Shaanxi.

"Don't tell me, there really is one."

Fangyan looked around and found the face among the crew of "Red Elephant".

"His name is 'Zhang Yimou', right?"

Mo Shen followed him.

When Zhang Yimou saw Fang Yan walking towards him, he was extremely excited, and when Fang Yan introduced him to Mo Shen, he was excited and moved deep in his heart.

Although Tian Zhuangzhuang promised to help him and find a way to get into his mother Yu Lan's Yanjing Children's Film Studio, the hope was slim.

Unlike Brother Chen Kai, who comes from a film family and has a bright future in the arts, just when he was ready to leave everything to fate, Teacher Fang, the "savior", suddenly appeared!

Xi'an Film Studio! One of the eight major film studios in China!

And it’s right in his hometown!

"Don't just stand there, behave yourself."

Fangyan patted his shoulder gently.

"Teacher Fang, I...I..."

Zhang Yimou found it difficult to calm down his excitement for a while.

"Can he really do it?" Mo Shen asked in a low voice.

"You're hiring a photographer, not a screenwriter."

Fang Yan glanced at him and said, "Don't look at how he speaks, look at how he takes the photo."

Before Mo Shen could open his mouth, someone who was listening to the conversation suddenly interrupted:
"Teacher Fang is right."

Fangyan turned around and saw that the man looked familiar, and he felt even more familiar with him when he asked.

The director of "The Mansion Gate", Guo Baochang!

"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Fang. We at Guixi Film Studio have always wanted to meet you, and today we finally got our wish."

Guo Baochang held his hand and shook it vigorously.

Mo Shen had no choice but to watch Fang Yan being abducted, and could only follow Zhang Yimou into the screening room.

Fangyan originally thought that he would talk about movies and scripts, but unexpectedly he talked about food and literature, walking around and talking.

"Has Director Guo ever thought about writing a novel himself?"

"I did write it, but it was burned right after I finished writing it."

“Burned?!”

"I can't talk about this terrible thing. It makes me angry when I mention it."

Guo Baochang had a complicated look in his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Have you ever thought about picking it up and rewriting it?"

Fangyan thought that what was burned was the manuscript of "The Mansion Gate".

"I've thought about it, more than once, but every time I pick up the pen, I don't know where to start, my mind is a mess." Guo Baochang sighed, "All I wrote was a waste." Fang Yan said, "Your thoughts are messed up by the previous manuscripts, and your heart is anxious. The more anxious you are, the less you can write."

"You really are an editor! An expert!"

Guo Baochang gave a thumbs up and said, "How can you treat my illness so that I can write this manuscript again?"

Fangyan said, "This is not the place for a deep chat. Let's go to the editorial office some other day. Director Guo, tell me what you want to write about this manuscript. I'll take a good look at your pulse and help you sort out your ideas for the novel."

"I'm so ashamed. It's just something that happened in my family in the past."

Guo Baochang said that once he had made up his mind, he would visit the editorial office of October and ask for the position of the famous editor, Mr. Fang.

"I don't deserve the title of 'famous editor'."

Fangyan waved his hand.

“Not only a famous editor, but also a famous writer.”

Guo Baochang smiled innocently but with a hint of shrewdness, "You haven't given 'That Mountain, That Man, That Dog' to other production companies yet, right?"

Fang Yan said: "Haha, no, no."

Guo Baochang's eyes lit up, but he did not ask for cooperation.

The two of them walked together from "Our Fields", to "We Are Still Young", and finally to "Miscellaneous Notes on the Small Courtyard".

The entire lineup can only be described as "luxurious".

But among so many fifth-generation directors and future famous actors, my first impression of her fell on the Queen of the Kingdom of Women.

"Teacher Fang, can you sign an autograph for me?"

Zhu Lin plucked up his courage and presented "Under the Hawthorn Tree" with both hands.

"You like this book very much?"

Fangyan asked her a few more questions intentionally or unintentionally.

“I like it, especially the song “Life Was Slow in the Past”.”

Zhu Lin blinked and was pleasantly surprised to find that Teacher Fang not only signed his name, but also wrote the second half of the poem in a very eloquent manner.

"…a lifetime is only enough to love one person."

"The locks in the past were also beautiful, and the keys were exquisite and stylish."

"If you lock it, people will understand."

Fangyan wrote "To Comrade Zhu Lin" and handed it back with a smile, "Thank you for your likes."

Zhu Lin felt that there was ambiguity in these words. Her cheeks turned slightly red, as if she had thought of something, with a look of loss in her eyes.

"No, no, I should be the one thanking Teacher Fang."

At this moment, two people were facing each other, a teacher and a student, one bent slightly and the other bowed deeply.

In the eyes of filmmaker Guo Baochang, he always felt that it was a bit weird. Although no one was talking, it was full of stories.

...............

"Miscellaneous Notes from the Small Courtyard" was about to be broadcast in the screening room, and Fang Yan and Guo Baochang followed the crowd in.

"Teacher Fang knows the girl just now?"

"do not know."

Fang Yan said softly, "I just think she is like a character in my novel."

"Is it like the 'Dong girl' in 'That Mountain, That Man, That Dog'?"

Guo Baochang looked at Zhu Lin's back and said meaningfully.

"She's suitable in terms of image, but I think she's more like 'Left Lan' from 'Insidious'."

"What do you think of Gong Xing from Shanghai Film Studio?"

"Gong Xing?"

"We have a play in Guixi Film Studio and have invited her to audition. We are now waiting for a response from Shanghai Film Studio."

"Gong Xing?"

Fangyan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

When I returned home from Beijing Film Academy, I was holding the first issue of "Popular Movies" from last year in my hands.

The actress on the cover above is Gong Xing, who is wearing a coarse cloth jacket and a big braid. She is a beautiful girl from a small family, delicate and weak.

Next, we turned to "New Flowers in the Silver Garden", a column opened by "Popular Movies" with precious color pages.

The small photo of Gong Xing still appears in our sight.

I didn't come across this on purpose, but there was an article in it that introduced a movie about the counterattack against Annan.

"New Soldier Ma Qiang".

The plot is not complicated and is similar to "Soldier Assault".

Ma Qiang, who came from the countryside, joined the army. Although he was not a "bad soldier" like Xu Sanduo at the beginning, he was also a "stupid soldier". He practiced shooting at the shooting range and could not close his eyes. Later, he was assigned to the kitchen squad, where he made fire and cooked, but he burned the pot again.

When we first went to the battlefield, we made a lot of mistakes.

But as the war progressed, Ma Qiang experienced the baptism of the battlefield and gradually transformed from a "stupid soldier" into a "king of soldiers".

He became an outstanding scout, joined the spearhead squad, attacked hilltops, captured enemy spies, and made many military achievements.

From beginning to end, the biggest problem may be that the protagonist's growth potential is not as good as Xu Sanduo, and there are no outstanding supporting roles like Yuan Lang and Chengcai, as well as the theme of "never abandon, never give up".

An idea flashed through my mind that "Soldier Assault", which was based on the script of the drama "Erna Assault", could be the second part.

Write a "Soldier Assault 1" based on this background?
Just as Fang Yan was lost in thought, Fang Yan walked into the room with a military-themed comic book in her arms.

"elder brother!"

"This is all I have. If you think it's not enough, I'll go to school and borrow from my classmates tomorrow."

"That's enough, that's enough, I'll just flip through it."

Fangyan touched the little sister's head.

"Actually there is a TV series, but unfortunately I can't watch it now."

Fang Yan said: "It's the movie 'Garrison's Gorillas'."

Fangyan teased, "Why, you also want to learn how to throw a flying knife?"

Fang Yan shook her head: "I don't dare, I'm afraid you will beat me!"

Fang Yan smiled and said, "You are smart. You know that even I won't protect you in this kind of situation."

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid only my future sister-in-law will protect me in this kind of situation." Fang Yan smiled and said, "Brother, when will you find me a sister-in-law?"

Fangyan said, "You don't want pocket money, do you? How dare you make fun of your brother?"

"If you don't give it to me, my future sister-in-law will."

Fang Yan said mischievously: "Brother, what do you think of Shen Danping? Zhang Yu is not bad, but Li Xiuming is not so good-looking..."

Yang Xia and Fang Hong, who were outside the house, immediately turned down the TV volume to the lowest level and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Why don't you just find Gong Xing as your sister-in-law?"

"Okay! Okay! If Gong Xing can be my sister-in-law, then I... Ouch!"

"Go cool down someplace."

Fangyan pushed the little sister out, glanced at the magazine cover, and put it down gently.
