1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 189: A collective change of attitude, crossing the river by feeling the way of "Love in Lushan Mountain"

"..."

In the corridor, everyone saw Lin Xiaohong's hesitant expression and couldn't help laughing.

It wasn't that they had any problem with Lin Xiaohong, they just simply found it funny. She had finally gotten lucky in the college entrance examination and performed exceptionally well. It was like a young tiger roaring in the mountains and a latent dragon rising from the abyss, shocking the world.

Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere and steal the girl's limelight.

Of course, everyone was shocked, but it was only fleeting.

"Ahem...our sister Xiaohong is amazing. She is truly a person of great luck. Let's keep up the good work and create more glories."

Cheng Kaiyan looked up at Lin Xiaohong's murderous eyes and quickly comforted her.

I thought to myself that if I had this much luck in the college entrance examination, and encountered dozens of original questions, it would be easy for me to get into Peking University.

Lin Xiaohong!
You really have some luck.

"Kai Yan is right. As the saying goes, if you lie dormant for three years, you will soar into the sky if you don't fly. If you don't sing, you will be amazing if you do. I think our Xiao Hong is such a lucky person."

"Yes, yes!"

Several teachers smiled and responded to Cheng Kaiyan's words.

"Hey, hey, hey, where is it..."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaohong scratched her head shyly, looking silly and naive. In short, it was easy to deceive.

"Alright, alright, let's all go. Kaiyan, please stay for a while. I have something to tell you."

Director Fang waved his hand speechlessly, then called Cheng Kaiyan to talk about the lecture with Professor Jiang Feng.

……

……

Cheng Kaiyan pushed open the door of the office while sighing that simple people have good fortune.

The not-so-small office was empty. Two teacups were placed on the mahogany desk, and a few pages of lesson plans were opened, rustling in the wind from the window.

The white translucent gauze curtains maintained a certain angle in the wind and were tanned golden by the sunlight.

"crunch~"

"You haven't come yet? It's almost eight o'clock."

Cheng Kaiyan withdrew her gaze and looked down at the time.

Jiang Ting usually arrives at the office before him, and it is impossible for her to be late. She has a good sense of time.

But he didn't think much about it. He sat down and took out his homework and did some work.

After a while, the sound of the lock tongue popping open was heard.

Sure enough, my aunt walked in quietly.

She wore a hand-cut white slim-fitting women's shirt on her upper body, with the hem of the shirt tucked into her trousers, which made her waist look even slimmer.

The tall black ponytail fell quietly in front of her body, which seemed to neutralize her cold temperament a lot.

It was already past nine o'clock when she walked into the office.

"You're late." Cheng Kaiyan said suddenly.

"..."

Jiang Ting pursed her lips and stared at him expressionlessly. After a while, she said in a calm tone, "Congratulations."

"It should be a shared happiness."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and said that without her help, the paper would not be written in a short time.

"Ah."

Jiang Ting nodded slightly without saying anything more. She just returned to her seat and picked up the documents on the table.

"..."

Cheng Kaiyan frowned upon seeing this. After spending so much time together, he could naturally notice that Jiang Ting had been in a bad mood recently and had spoken less. It felt like they had returned to the way they had been getting along at the beginning.

There must be something on his mind.

Cheng Kaiyan did not ask directly, but quietly finished the homework at hand.

It was almost ten o'clock when Cheng Kaiyan got up and took Jiang Ting's cup to make tea, adding some brown sugar to it.

If there was a shortage of milk in the office, Cheng Kaiyan would have added some milk to it so that Jiang Ting could drink milk tea decades in advance.

There were not many books in the cabinets in the two people's offices. Instead, there were many daily necessities, such as cups, handkerchiefs, brown sugar, snacks, etc.

Of course, this won’t be the case if there are graduate students or other teachers in the future.

This office has become a small world for the two of them.

"If you're not in a good mood, drink something sweet. I have classes later, so I'll leave first."

Jiang Ting was tidying up the documents on the table with her head down when she heard Cheng Kaiyan's gentle voice say this.

Then the steaming cup came into her sight.

Before she could react, the office door opened and Cheng Kaiyan went to class.

The beautiful woman was slightly stunned, looking at the tea in the cup. The light red water surface was filled with mist, and she could even smell a faint sweetness in it, which was obviously the taste of sugarcane brown sugar.

But what is the point of adding sugar to tea?
Jiang Ting thought to herself with a bit of a dilemma, but she still lowered her head, licked it with her tongue, and rolled up some tea.

The tea is at just the right temperature, with a hint of tea fragrance and a sweet taste.

She blinked. "It tastes surprisingly good..."

Then my mood inexplicably improved.

……

……

On the other side, Cheng Kaiyan had just walked into the classroom, and the originally lively atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became quiet. Many middle-aged classmates in their thirties and forties looked over in unison.

The publication of the paper co-authored by Cheng Kaiyan and Jiang Ting in recent days has attracted great attention and influence in the academic and literary circles.

Even the Literary Gazette gave a direct verdict, highly praising him as a master of children's literature. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it also indirectly demonstrated his current fame and strength.

Before this, when people heard this name, they might make a few jokes or maybe they were envious and jealous in private.

But now that this overwhelmingly powerful paper has come out, such voices no longer exist. This is the benefit of integrating literature and academia.

Many masters are like this, not only able to create excellent works, but also achieve great success in literature.

Similarly, they can also make great contributions to the development of literary schools or movements and the construction and criticism of literary theories.

Just like Mr. Lu Xun, Mr. Mao Dun and others, they are all leaders in the literary world.

It can be said that Cheng Kaiyan already has the initial potential qualifications.

Which great writer's work has not been criticized by critics?

Which great writer's work has not been studied by the academic community?
To take a more recent example, Liu Xinwu, who wrote "Class Teacher", was immediately criticized by literary critics.

Even Mo Yan, who won the Nobel Prize, and Yu Hua, a well-known figure, could not escape the reckless criticism from professional critics.

What's more, every word of the critics' criticism is reasonable, and you can't find any mistakes. They are simply more professional than you.

But Cheng Kaiyan's paper is not only an academic achievement, but also constructs a complete system of aesthetic and critical theory of children's literature.

As the paper ferments and time goes by, children's literature critics will inevitably try to apply this theory into practice.

This is unavoidable, and the influence is terrifying.

Just like now, everyone in the class looked at him silently. Although they had digested the news in the newspaper for a long time, they still felt a little bit unbelievable when they saw the real person now.

Not everyone can be called a master, but this young man in his early twenties has achieved such great achievements and gained recognition from the literary and academic circles.

For a while, it was difficult for older people to accept it.

"What are you looking at me for? It's time for class."

Cheng Kaiyan took a deep breath and spoke calmly to everyone in the class.

The tone was calm and there was a hint of smile.

Such a low-key and friendly look made everyone feel relieved.

"Yes, class is about to start. Let's prepare for the class."

As the squad leader, Jiang Zilong laughed and took control of the situation.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, look at this person's mental quality, he has a big heart!
Today’s class is still about Mr. Qi Gong’s Dream of the Red Chamber. We have reached the last forty chapters and are discussing the Cheng Gao version.

Cheng Kaiyan was so absorbed in listening that the get out of class was over in a blink of an eye. Just as she was about to go out for some fresh air, Wang Anyi pulled her back.
"Cheng Kaiyan, can you help me look at the article...the one you promised before." The pretty girl looked up at him eagerly, with a pile of manuscripts on the table.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded.

"Here, I also wrote a fairy tale. How about you take a look at it?"

Wang Anyi looked delighted and said quickly.

Liu Shuhua on the side laughed and joked: "Oh! An Yi, you got a great deal this time. You can invite a master of children's literature to read your manuscript!"

"Screw you!"

Wang Anyi rolled her eyes at her and spat softly.

"Master or not, it's all just an empty title. Just call me by my name as usual."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled, then took the manuscript and started reading.

I found out it was a fairy tale without even a name.

The article roughly tells an adventure story, but it incorporates a touch of fantasy. The protagonist is a ten-year-old girl named Xiaomei from the countryside. Her mother died during childbirth and her father works in the commune.

She and her brother Xiaoqiang stayed at home. Her brother had a prejudice against his sister because of their mother's death.

After waking up from a nap one day, the dazed sister accidentally found a pink salamander with four legs in a puddle in the forest behind the old house. The sister pounced on it and accidentally fell into the puddle.

The brother seemed to hate his sister, but when his sister was in danger, he hesitated for a moment, overcame his fear and jumped into the pool.

The two unexpectedly traveled to the interior of the mountains, where there was an animal kingdom, and thus an adventure about family and friendship began.

“The story structure is pretty standard, but the characters are a little unnatural, and the brother’s attitude towards his sister changes, and you don’t lay enough groundwork before entering the main plot.

Besides, the fantasy elements are not strong enough, and the animals are not fantastical enough. What about your imagination? Comrade Xiao Wang. "

After reading it, Cheng Kaiyan commented with a smile.

This story pattern has produced dozens or even hundreds of classic works, if not just one or two.

For example, "My Neighbor Totoro", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Adventures of the Sloppy King", etc.

"what?"

Wang Anyi hung her head. She was quite happy when she heard the first sentence, but she couldn't hold it back when she heard the second sentence.

The characters, the foreshadowing, the fantasy elements…isn’t a month’s worth of her hard work enough?
"Change it again. Your biggest problem is that you often control the behavior of two children from an adult's perspective. This is a big taboo..."

In the past month or two, Cheng Kaiyan has written dozens of work analyses. She can easily analyze classic structural works like Wang Anyi's. She talked a lot about them in a very eloquent manner and also wrote them down in her notebook.

“Amazing… Really amazing.”

Wang Anyi swallowed and held the notebook with an excited tone.

"really……"

At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered around, listening to Cheng Kaiyan's explanation for half a day.

There was no trace of doubt in everyone's eyes when they looked at him. He truly deserved the title of a master of children's literature.

"Comrade Kaiyan, let's talk about this again. Please give us a lecture when you have the chance. Your level is amazing!"

Those who want to develop their creation in the field of children's literature are warmly invited.

"Yes."

Jiang Zilong echoed.

Cheng Kaiyan thought for a moment and explained, "Not long ago, Director Fang invited me to give a lecture at Beijing Normal University with Professor Jiang Feng from the children's literature community.

It shouldn’t take long, maybe just a week or two, so if you’re interested you can come and have a look.”

"That's great. Comrade Kaiyan is so amazing. We will all go and show our support when the time comes."

"Yes."

After this incident, Cheng Kaiyan could feel the change in everyone’s attitude. Of course, their attitude wasn’t that bad before, at most they would talk about it behind their backs, but now no one had any objections.

After class at noon, Cheng Kaiyan could see students along the way, and teachers cast curious glances at him, after all, the master's name was really conspicuous.

"It will be fine after few days."

After dinner, Cheng Kaiyan brought a box for Jiang Ting, and they both took a nap in the office in the afternoon.

The ceiling fan above my head was whirring. I didn't expect it to be quite cool even without air conditioning.

Maybe it’s because there’s a ceiling fan and the office is deep in the corridor and well ventilated.

I went out, went downstairs, and rode my bike straight to the Beijing Film Studio.

Cheng Kaiyan had been here several times, and the security guard was also an old acquaintance. He handed her a cigarette and slipped in, then went up to the office building of the Beijing Film Studio.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

One of the four famous directors of Beijing Film Studio, Shuihua, who is in his sixties, had just woken up, holding a list of films that would be released nationwide in the next few months, published by the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture.

The first thing that comes into view is the love-themed movie "Lush Mountain Love": a drama romance movie directed by Huang Zumo and starring Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin, which will be released in two days.

"405 Murder Case": Written by Bi Bicheng, directed by Shen Yaoting, starring Zhong Xinghuo and others
Night Rain in Bashan: A film directed by Wu Yigong and Wu Yonggang, starring Li Zhiyu and Zhang Yu.

"Death Ray on Coral Island": a science fiction film directed by Zhang Hongmei and starring Qiao Qi, Ling Zhihao and others.

"Love in Lushan Mountain, Shanghai Film Studio is really brave. Well, the first romance film will be given to you."

Shuihua held a cigarette in her hand, looked at the list in her hand, and murmured.

Originally, the filming of "Love Letter" was about to start, but the factory director and he had new plans for "Love Letter", and the script had not been finalized yet, so it was temporarily put on hold.

Unexpectedly, "Lush Mountain Love" came in and snatched the title of the first domestic romance film.

Shuihua was really angry. She couldn't sleep well these two days after seeing the list.

Just as he was wondering when Cheng Kaiyan would finish writing the script, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A young man walked in, it was Cheng Kaiyan.

"You are finally here, come here quickly, I have something to tell you, you see this list."

Teacher Shuihua raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. He quickly stood up and pulled Cheng Kaiyan to sit on the sofa.

"Love in Lushan Mountain?"

Cheng Kaiyan was a little surprised. It was filmed so quickly and would be released in two days?
"When will you finish writing the script for Love Letter?"

Shuihua stared at him dimly and said.

"It will be soon. I've been busy with other things during this period."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled awkwardly. You have to know that the Beijing Film Studio had given money, but he just took the money but didn't do anything. No wonder he felt guilty.

"The title of the first love movie was taken away by the Beijing Film Studio. It was originally yours."

Teacher Shuihua provoked calmly.

“It doesn’t matter, he took it and left.

The release of this movie will not be easy. Although people's concepts are being liberated, romance novels are also slowly emerging.

But people's acceptance of the film, especially the official acceptance, is not that high. After all, this is a propaganda machine.

We should learn from the old man and cross the river by feeling the stones in "Love in Lushan Mountain".

Cheng Kaiyan recalled the news about the Love at Mount Lu in her past life, and spoke with a smile, her face full of confidence.

"makes sense."

Shuihua nodded. It’s not easy to get the first place. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

After talking about the Lushan Love, the two talked about the progress of "Love Letter".

At present, the factory is still applying for the right to shoot abroad, which is quite difficult, but judging from the tone of the superiors, this matter has a probability of being feasible and the superiors are still studying it.

This is also the reason why Teacher Shuihua and the factory director are not in a hurry.

The two chatted until after three o'clock. Cheng Kaiyan followed Teacher Shuihua to observe the filming of a crew at the Beijing Film Studio and declined the invitation to stay for dinner in the evening.

In a flash, he rode his bike home.

As soon as I parked the car and entered the house, I saw my mother Xu Yuxiu, Aunt Yao Cheng, and an old man in his eighties sitting at home drinking tea and watching TV.

"Kaiyan is back, look who's here!"

Mother smiled and waved.
