Exciting 1979!

Chapter 108: The Queen Becomes a Monk (Guaranteed 2 more chapters, please give me a monthly ticket!)
The suggestion made by teacher Gu Jianfen is very important, otherwise this song would have been written in two years.

Wei Ming found out the address of Ci Kan and submitted his manuscript the next day.

This is a music literature journal sponsored by the Chinese Musicians Association. It is published once a month and mainly publishes lyrics, as well as some research articles on lyrics.

At that time, copyright awareness was confused, and authoritative magazines like "Ci Kan" were equivalent to confirming the copyright ownership.

Wei Ming published it directly using his real name. It's nothing strange that he can write poetry and lyrics.

But this is a children's song, so I guess everyone would think it's the same name.

After that, Wei Mingbai spent the whole day revising the script while learning how to compose music from Gu Jianfen, starting with the most basic do-re-mi-fa.

She hopes that Wei Ming can eventually complete the lyrics and music of "Where is Spring" by himself.

Wei Ming works the night shift at night and also has to conduct diplomatic activities with Melinda, so his life is quite fulfilling.

Before "Ci Kan" received "Where is Spring", "Story Club" had already received Wei Ming's submission.

Before submitting "Heroes Have Always Been Young", Wei Ming had already called He Chengwei and asked him if he wanted the manuscript of the martial arts novel.

"As long as you talk, I will send it to you."

"Yes, yes, yes!" He Chengwei was very excited, and Wei Ming almost replied "Check it out".

When a rising literary star contributes to a small magazine like mine, I have no right to choose. That's just being too arrogant.

And what's wrong with martial arts novels? Although this type of novel has not been seen in China for a long time, it still has a broad mass base. The previous "Water Margin" and "Three Heroes and Five Gallants" can be classified into this category. The stories of martial arts masters such as Huo Yuanjia, Wang Wu, and Du Xinwu have also been widely circulated.

Before receiving the manuscript, He Chengwei thought that no matter how it turned out, he would accept it and would also pay the highest possible royalties.

I also want all the illustrations that Wei Ming mentioned.

The first thing He Chengwei did after receiving the manuscript was in the morning. He canceled the morning meeting and read the novel first.

The novel is set in the Qing Dynasty, and the story begins with the escape of an orphan of the Tiandihui by the river...

The scene was very tense at the beginning, with two groups of people gathering at this small riverside pier, either openly or secretly, like a spy drama.

Wei Ming is a master at creating atmosphere. He brings He Chengwei into the story with just a few strokes. He uses all kinds of professional vocabulary and underworld jargon at will, which really gives it the flavor of the underworld.

Not long after the story begins, a rich young man who calls himself a "real man" appears. He is not a member of the Tiandihui, but has admired their heroic deeds since childhood, so he voluntarily follows them. Another purpose is to get rid of the tigress in his family.

When He Chengwei saw it, he thought that the "tiger lady" was his strict mother.

When the villain Sima Li and others came up to him and put a knife on his neck, this little guy who claimed to be a man of integrity said timidly: "I haven't joined yet."

Just when several children and an old woman were unable to fight and were about to be captured, a remarkable woman with great martial arts skills and a cold face and sneer appeared out of nowhere and temporarily resolved the crisis.

And this woman turned out to be the wife of a man who was less than ten years older than her!

When seeing this, He Chengwei laughed like a pig. It turned out that she was a child bride.

Moreover, the husband and the young wife have a special chemistry. The originally tense story becomes more interesting after the appearance of this special couple.

What’s interesting is that Wei Ming also thoughtfully marked the “break points”.

Considering the length of this novel and the capacity of each issue of "Story Club", it is estimated that it will be serialized in three issues.

So Wei Ming’s first interruption happened after his young wife made her stunning appearance.

He Chengwei thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was not reading the serialized version, and continued to read on impatiently, comparing the pictures with those of Liu Rulong.

At 11 o'clock, Wei Ming received a note from a colleague after passing the South Gate. It was from the Shanghai Story Club.

"Brother Ming, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to remember, so I wrote it all down for you."

"Thank you, Da Zhuang."

"It's nothing. I smoke Ming Ge's cigarettes all the time."

Wei Ming was a big buyer of cigarettes at the school canteen, often buying them in packs, and had turned his colleagues into heavy smokers. However, he himself hid in Shaoyuan and didn't even smoke secondhand smoke, focusing on staying healthy.

But this is also a necessary investment. Nanmen's phone number has almost become his exclusive contact number. He receives a lot of letters on a regular basis. If someone tries to trip you up, you may easily miss very important information.

But Wei Ming also has principles. He only answers the phone here, and he has to go to the convenience store to pay to make calls.

The note read: Please tell writer Wei that this manuscript is very, very good and very suitable for our magazine. We will arrange for it to be serialized in the January 80 issue. It is rumored that the standard of manuscript fees will be changed, and a one-time payment will be made according to the highest standard at that time.

Seeing the last sentence, Wei Ming smiled calmly, he knew that he could earn a few hundred dollars again.

Then he rode his bike away from Peking University.

I have been busy writing articles recently and haven't sent any tapes to Sister Zhu Lin for a while. I guess she is itching to have one again, so I plan to go to the city to satisfy her this time.

It was a coincidence that Wei Ming came, as today was Zhu Lin's birthday.

Looking at the tape in his hand, Wei Ming was happy: "Then this is a ready-made birthday present for me."

Zhu Lin refused: "This gift is a bit expensive."

Wei Ming: "I only brought this, and my beloved car. Don't underestimate it, but it's more expensive, so I can't bear to part with it."

Zhu Lin laughed so hard that she accepted the tape and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."

"You're still allowed to treat me on your birthday?" "Come on, if you don't want to eat the tape, I won't want it either."

Wei Ming gave in: "It's my birthday, just some noodles will do."

"Well, I'll treat you to a good meal next time you come. You can choose any one from Quanjude or Donglaishun."

When the two left, Mu Rong, who was wearing a white coat in the laboratory, was looking through the window.

Oh my, let’s eat together, let’s eat together!

Zhu Lin was very happy to see Wei Ming. This little brother could always bring happiness to others easily.

When Zhu Lin heard him say that he was learning music during dinner, he was surprised: "You are already a great writer, why are you learning music? Are you going to change your career and become a musician?"

"I don't think I can become a musician, but it's always a good idea to learn more. If my writing inspiration runs out one day, I will have another way to choose and I won't be left with nowhere to go."

Zhu Lin was extremely envious. She was now so busy doing tests every day that she almost forgot how to dance, which was once her means of survival.

"So what else did you learn besides music?" Zhu Lin asked.

Wei Ming: "Let me tell you, the classes I took at Peking University were very diverse. One time, I accidentally walked into a physics classroom and was forced to take a class on quantum entanglement."

"What is quantum entanglement?" Zhu Lin asked curiously while slurping a noodle.

Wei Ming explained: "The world we live in is made up of countless very, very small particles that are too small to be seen. When two particles become quantum entangled, no matter how far apart they are, the behavior of one particle will affect the state of the other particle. If one particle changes, the other particle will also change accordingly."

Zhu Lin tried hard to understand and digest it, and then found that this sounded a bit like love!

"How can the two particles become, uh, quantum entangled as you mentioned?"

Wei Ming took a big bite of noodles and said, "How would I know? Ask Einstein."

Zhu Lin chuckled.

Wei Ming asked curiously, "Is Einstein a funny person?"

"It's okay. I just thought of a slogan from the past."

"What slogan?"

"That's it, Einstein is the mother whoever gives him milk~" Zhu Lin laughed even more happily.

Wei Ming suddenly said: "Of course, if there is no milk, then it's the father."

Then Zhu Lin quickly covered his mouth. No, the noodles were about to spray out of his nostrils. He had to maintain his image!
After leaving Zhu Lin, Wei Ming immediately went to the General Political Department Repertory Theatre.

Wei Ming had not yet mailed her the photos he took at the Summer Palace that day, so he wanted to deliver them in person.

This was his first time visiting Gong Xing's unit. The security was very strict and Wei Ming couldn't get in at all. He could only call Gong Xing out.

Then Wei Ming laughed. The two blushes on Gong Xing's face had not been wiped off yet, and she still had two childish braids.

"Don't laugh, this is required by the role." Gong Xing shyly covered her face with her arms. She was rehearsing a scene.

It's so embarrassing. I'm not pretending to be young on purpose. I was just assigned to play the role of a little girl. What can I do?

Wei Ming stopped smiling and handed the photos over. Gong Xian looked at them one by one in front of Wei Ming and praised him for taking good photos: "You can compare with my mother."

"No, Auntie is a professional."

"Don't be modest. By the way, I've read The Horse Herder. It's really well written. When I was sent to the countryside to work, I had many of the same ideas as Xu Shengfang, which is how I managed to get through that period," Gong Wei asked again, "Is your father really the same person as Xu Shengfang?"

Wei Ming: "Don't get me wrong, my dad is very different from the character in the novel, but my mom is very similar to Wei Fenfang."

"Well, a gentle and virtuous wife and mother." Gong Xing gave the aunt a thumbs up.

Because Wei Ming had to rush back to work, the two met briefly at the door and then said goodbye, agreeing to meet again when they had time.

After finishing a day's work, Zhu Lin couldn't wait to go home and listen to the music brought by Wei Ming.

When I got home, I saw several more people at home.

There are her boyfriend, his parents, his aunt, and the person who introduced him to her at that time.

Zhu Lin's father is a professor and his mother is a doctor. His father had a smile on his face and his mother brought a bowl of hot longevity noodles.

Then, as everyone talked a little, she and her partner decided to get married next year.

It is indeed not advisable to delay any longer. She is already 27 years old. If we delay any further, she will be years old.

Every word the matchmaker said was heartbreaking: men can afford to delay and can still have children after the age of 30, but the older a woman is, the higher the risk of having a child.

In short, she is an older woman who can’t delay any longer.

At night, listening to the American music that Wei Ming brought to him in his room, Zhu Lin danced to a dance that he had performed in the art troupe before, which did not match the music, elegant but lonely.

The next day, when Zhu Lin came to the unit with dark circles under his eyes, an assistant director of a film crew happened to come to the Institute of Health and said he wanted to find an actor to play the role of a medical researcher in his true colors.

Zhu Lin stood up suddenly.
