Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 265: The benefits of the Writers Association are guaranteed this time (3K)

Fang Yan feels that he has enough to be proud of as his work has been recognized by both Director Chen and the future Director Chen.

Just as Chen Kaige was immersed in the story and reading with great enjoyment, Professor Cai said to Fang Yan:

"Comrade Fangyan, I am very optimistic about this work and would like to meet the author himself. Is that possible?"

"If his works are published, I can be his introducer and invite him to join the Writers Association."

Writers Association?

To be honest, I heard this name many times in my previous life, but I never knew what kind of organization it was.

I don't know whether he is official or private.

I haven't seen it do anything, but I always hear its name in various occasions.

Seeing Fang Yan's puzzled look, Professor Cai immediately understood what was going on. He smiled at Fang Yan and said:

"Comrade Fangyan, you may not understand the benefits of the Writers Association. I can briefly explain it."

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Okay, someone happened to have mentioned it before, but I don't know much about it. Please tell me more details."

Professor Cai was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he said:
"Well, I am also a cadre of the Writers Association, so I must know more details than the average person."

"Our Writers Association...is an officially recognized literary organization. Being able to join the Writers Association is a high recognition of one's literary creation ability. It is not only an honor, but also has many benefits."

"Our writers' association has its own publications and publishing channels. Members' works have more opportunities to be seen first, and they can also be recommended by other members of the association, so that more readers can see their works and increase the influence of their works."

"In addition, members of the Writers Association have opportunities to learn and communicate, including seminars, workshops, further studies, and field trips."

"During these events, I can communicate and learn with other outstanding writers, literary critics, editors, etc., understand the latest developments and trends in our literary creation, and broaden my horizons and network."

He paused here, smiled meaningfully and said:

"If you are an unmarried young person, you may be able to find your soulmate here."

Fangyan complained in his heart, Lao Deng is quite good at salesmanship and he knows the pain points of young people. But if the fourth child in the family falls in love with your daughter Cai Caizi, will you still be able to smile?
Professor Cai continued:
"In addition, in our current era, literature and art have already played an important role in social life."

"As an important organization in the field of literature, the Writers Association's members also have a relatively high social status."

"The Writers Association has close ties with government departments and other social organizations. After joining the Writers Association, we can also get some material support from the government, such as writing subsidies and preferential royalties, which can help writers concentrate on their creations."

After hearing what Professor Cai said, Fang Yan nodded slightly, and then said to him:
"Thank you Professor Cai for your support. I will definitely repeat it exactly as it is when I return."

Professor Cai smiled and nodded:
"Okay, then add that I'm looking forward to meeting him."

The dialect responded:

"I will definitely bring it."

"I will inform Director Chen once I have any news."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Huaikai also nodded in response.

At this time, Chen Kaige, who had already read three stories, said:
"Count me in when we meet, I want to meet him too!"

Chen Kaige felt that Fang Chen, who wrote this book, was extremely talented, and he was eager to see what kind of person this person was.

Hearing his request, Fang Yan hesitated slightly.

After thinking about it, he thought that the fourth brother's face would not become gay, so he reluctantly agreed:

"OK, no problem."

After the three of them finished the examination, the half-hour acupuncture time was up.

Meng Jimin put away the needle and began to take Chen Huaikai's pulse.

Then he wrote a prescription and asked him to get the medicine and boil it according to the prescription.

After doing all this, today's routine tasks were completed. Chen Huaikai took out a notebook from the drawer, and Meng Jimin began to write medical records on it. After finishing, Chen Huaikai tore off a piece of paper and signed his name on it to prove that Meng Jimin had come to treat him today.

This completes today's treatment mission.

Next, Chen Huaikai directed the topic to Fangyan and asked about Fangyan's situation, mainly to understand his family situation. Because they were not in the same system, he did not know what level of the medical system Fangyan belonged to.

Asking about family situations is mainly to see what their family connections are like.

In addition, I also know some information about Fang Chen.

It was a long and winding journey.

Hearing that Fang Yanjia's father was a professor and his mother was a doctor, Chen Huaikai smiled at Professor Cai and said:
"The situations of your two families are exactly the same."

"You are a professor and your wife is a doctor."

Professor Cai said modestly:

"He is a professor at an industrial university, and he is much more experienced than those of us who study economics."

"The other one is still Union Hospital, the best hospital. My wife's hospital is incomparable."

Chen Huaikai said with a smile:

"We are all serving the people, regardless of occupation!"

Professor Cai laughed out loud when he heard this.

After chatting for a while, Fangyan drank a lot of tea and planned to go to the toilet. As soon as he left, Chen Huaikai asked Meng Jimin:
"Jimin, tell me the truth, how many words are there in this book?"

Meng Jimin looked at Chen Huaikai and did not answer. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Uncle, I haven't seen it, how do I know how much is written?"

"Why don't you wait for Fangyan to come back and ask him."

Chen Huaikai said to Meng Jimin:
"Are you still pretending? I know you know. Tell me, how many words have you written and how many people have you met?"

He believed that due to their friendship, Meng Jimin would still give him this information.

As a result, Meng Jimin shook his head again and again:
"I really don't know. If you know, I will definitely tell you."

Chen Huaikai was already an old fox, and of course he could tell that Meng Jimin was not telling the truth, so he said to him:
"You swear to God!"

Meng Jimin continued to shake his head:
"Comrade Lao Chen, feudal superstition is unacceptable!"

“……”Chen Huaikai was speechless.

After thinking for a while, he said to Meng Jimin:
"Jimin, you don't have to say anything, but you have to help me speak up when you go back. Let us see him as soon as possible, and don't let others get there first! Okay?" Meng Jimin touched his chin and said:
“Hmm… Tsk…”

It seemed as if hesitating, and as if he was sighing.

Professor Cai asked:
"Could it be... that someone has already gone to meet him?"

When Chen Huaikai heard this, he became anxious and pulled Meng Jimin to ask him to speak quickly.

Meng Jimin shook his head and said:

"No, no, I definitely didn't meet anyone else. I can guarantee that."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But if they wanted to know more, Meng Jimin would never tell them, and there was nothing they could do.

All he could do was to do some work for Fang Yan after he left here so that they could meet Fang Chen earlier.

This was exactly what Meng Jimin wanted.

He agreed reluctantly.

This made Chen Huaikai and Professor Cai satisfied.

Then Fangyan came back from the toilet and called Meng Jimin, saying that it was almost time to leave.

Meng Jimin nodded, stood up and said goodbye.

Then the two were sent out the door, and were repeatedly reminded to meet Fang Chen. Only then did they say goodbye and leave the Beijing Film Academy community.

After going out, Fangyan stopped on the side of the road.

"What?" Meng Jimin asked in dialect.

"See if anyone is following us." Fangyan responded.

Meng Jimin sneered:
"Are you acting in a movie?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Kaige riding a motorcycle out of the community behind him.

Suddenly, his smile froze on his face.

Fang Yan said to Meng Jimin:
"Their family is in the movie business, isn't this normal?"

After Chen Kaige drove out, he found Fang Yan and the others parked on the side of the road, which was really awkward.

Just now he volunteered to follow Fangyan's family and then visit them directly without asking for permission first. However, he didn't expect that the family seemed to have anticipated his intention to follow him and were waiting outside.

"Kaige, are you going out?" Fangyan greeted Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige stopped the car and nodded:

"Oh, yes, I go out and hang out with friends on the weekend."

Then he pretended to be calm and asked:

"Brother Fang, Brother Jimin, is there something wrong with your car?"

The dialect said:

"No, the scenery here is nice, so stop and enjoy it."

Chen Kaige explained:

"This place was built for filming, so it's quite beautiful."

"That's what I said." Fang Yan nodded, and then said to him:
"It's okay, we'll just take a look and then leave, you can go do your thing."

Chen Kaige had no choice but to agree and rode away on his motorcycle.

At this time, Meng Jimin slapped his forehead:
"Oops, I forgot something."

"What's the matter?" Fang Yan looked at him and found that this kid was always losing things today.

Meng Jimin said:
"I forgot to mention asking his dad to take the photo."

Fangyan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:

"It's a good thing you didn't say anything. Didn't you see that I didn't give out the gift packages and wedding invitations?"

Meng Jimin was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

Fangyan explained to him:

"It's not appropriate to talk about the situation today, otherwise it will destroy the popular feeling we have created."

"If we have a lot of colleagues like him, do we need to talk to him specifically?"

"Think about it, isn't this the truth?"

Meng Jimin suddenly realized:
"That makes sense..."

Then he tapped his head and felt that his brain was not enough today.

Fangyan shook his head and said to him:
"In the future, please show your face to others less often, and don't make yourself stupid."

Meng Jimin nodded, the aftereffects made him feel as if his mind was foggy.

"Okay, I'll take you home first." Fang Yan started the motorcycle and headed towards the Dongzhimen Family Compound.

Meng Jimin asked at this time:
"By the way, Lao Fang, when do you plan to meet them?"

Fangyan thought for a moment and said:
"I think this matter is basically settled. I think we should wait until Fang Chen finishes the book on Wednesday, and then contact them. Then we can hand in the manuscript directly and get it done in one step."

"Let's whet their appetite for a few days."

"It's a good opportunity for me to discuss with Fang Chen the details of the meeting with them."

"We need to make it clear what the bottom line is and what benefits we should ask for. They are experienced people, and we are newbies, so we need to be cautious when facing them."

Meng Jimin patted his thigh and said:

"It's stable!"
