Chapter 365 366【Old Xu, do you want a wife? 】
Xiang Nan successfully won the attention of the mainland film circle with his stunning performance in "The Garland Under the Mountain".
Bei Film Studio and Bayi Film Studio even once wanted to second him to become a professional actor and screenwriter, but the Zongzheng Song and Dance Troupe still refused to let him go.
Because Xiang Nan is not only an excellent actor, but also an excellent novelist and songwriter, a rare talent. It would be a big mistake for the general government to let him go, so he is determined not to let him go.
Despite this, Xiang Nan still received the attention of many film studios with his superb acting skills and high popularity.
In the next period of time, he successively received invitations from Beiying, Bayi, Shanghai Film, etc., and took on the filming of "Midnight", "Outpost in the Birch Forest", "Under the Bridge", "Salon Valley" Gunshots", "Lightning Action", "Gobi's Revenge", etc., basically maintain a pace of one a year.
…
Back in 1982, Xiang Nan had earned nearly 2.6 million RMB with the "Detective Di Renjie" series. In addition to the cost of buying antiques, he has 1.5 million yuan left.
Xiang Nan took out 300,000 of them, set up a flower shed in Miyun, and planted large areas of Clivia.
He knew that in 1984, the Changchun City Council designated Clivia as the city flower and called on the people of the whole city to cultivate it. With one order, the price of Clivia immediately skyrocketed.
At the most expensive time, the price of a rare Clivia was even as high as 200,000 yuan. The 200,000 yuan in 1984 is roughly equivalent to the current 20 million yuan, which shows that the price is outrageous.
Xiang Nan wants to take advantage of this craze now. He planted Clivia extensively and sold all of them to Changchun. Even if a potted flower only sells for two or three hundred. One hundred thousand potted flowers can also sell for twenty to thirty million. This is a good deal with huge profits.
…
In 1982, Xiaoping also officially graduated after attending university for four years.
After graduation, she returned to Zongzheng and continued to work as a creator. However, from the previous row-level creators, he jumped to the company-level creators.
First of all, her diploma is a college student, which is a senior talent. After returning to the army, she should be promoted; secondly, during the four years she has been studying, she has produced many works, and the accumulated achievements are enough for her to be promoted.
Thus, he was successfully promoted from a platoon-level creator to two consecutive levels, and became a company-level creator. Not only the salary is higher, but also more benefits can be enjoyed.
After Xiaoping graduated, Xiang Nan was the happiest. He could finally see Xiaoping every day instead of once a week.
Moreover, after Xiaoping graduates, many things can be put on the agenda. Like having a baby.
The two of them have been married for three years now, and because of their studies, they have not had children for a long time. So the family members in my hometown were worried, even Xiaoping's father, Shen Bowen, was worried. Therefore, the matter of having a child must be put on the agenda.
Xiaoping actually wanted to have a baby, so the two reached a consensus and began to actively prepare for pregnancy.
…
In 1982, two more things happened.
One is that two years after the "Wrangler" was locked in customs, the above finally released it and allowed it to be filmed.
But Xiang Nan did not compete with Zhu Shimao this time, and missed the opportunity to play the leading role. And the reason is very hurtful, Xie Jin said that he looks too ordinary, not as good-looking as Zhu Shimao, and more like a protagonist.
Hearing his less hurtful but extremely insulting words, Xiang Nan was almost depressed for a moment.
It is not wrong to lose to him. It's a pity that I couldn't hear Guo Tiezi say, "Old Xu, if you want a wife, I'll send it to you as long as you open Jinkou~" It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to cooperate with the big beauty Cong Shan.
…
Second, after Mao Dun, a well-known mainland writer, passed away, he donated his 250,000 yuan in manuscript fees to establish the Mao Dun Literature Award. Mr. Ba Jin serves as the chairman of the jury, and influential writers, theorists, critics and organizers are invited to serve as judges.
The Mao Dun Literary Award agrees to select novels from the mainland every three years. Three to five titles will be awarded, and the winners will receive medals, bonuses and certificates.
Because Mr. Mao Dun has a very high status in the mainland literary world, and Mr. Ba Jin is also a master in the mainland literary world, so after the establishment of the Mao Dun Literature Award, it has attracted the attention of the literary world, and everyone is eager to be rewarded.
Just as everyone expected, the first Mao Dun Literature Award officially announced the results in December.
The novel "The Years of Passion Burning" written by Xiang Nan won the affirmation of the first Mao Dun Literature Award because of its excellent characterization, vivid storyline, and depiction of historical changes.
…
The announcement of this result made Xiang Nan famous again.
Because he is the only post-50s among all the winners. In comparison, most of the other authors are born in the 1930s or 20s, and are 20 or 30 years older than Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan was just 30 years old, and he was able to win this award, which is really amazing.
In addition, he was already well-known, and now receiving this award is even more powerful, attracting more admirers for him.
Of course, not everyone is happy for him.
Some people were very dissatisfied with Xiang Nan winning this award.
A piece of Xiang Nan is now written as popular literature. "Detective Di Renjie" is purely fictitious, fabricated and fabricated, without any artistry, it is a manifestation of vulgarity, vulgarity, and kitsch. A literati like him who has fallen for money is naturally not qualified to win the Mao Dun Literature Award, an important award in the literary world.
Erze Xiangnan's qualifications are too shallow. It has only been seven years since he started writing songs. If you count from the time he wrote the novel, it's not even four years.
In comparison, in the mainland literary world, there are many seniors who have been engaged in literary creation for 40 to 50 years. Compared with them, Xiang Nan is just a little kid just getting started.
Why haven’t these seniors won the award yet, but Xiang Nan, the junior, won the award, and they all feel very dissatisfied. Therefore, many people rose up to protest, and it was a bit hasty to question this result.
…
But in the end, Mr. Ba Jin opened his mouth for Xiang Nan.
"The Mao Dun Literature Award is based on the quality of the works, not on seniority, nor on the distribution of pork. The only way to win an award is to rely on the works to speak. The first Mao Dun Literature Award winning works were collectively selected by hundreds of judges.
The selection process is fair and impartial, representing collective opinions. I agree with this result very much.
As for some malicious speculation from the outside world, I don't think it represents the mainstream opinion in the literary world. I also advise those people to be open-minded. The size of a person's heart is the size of a work. "
After Ba Jin's words were published, those who clamored to overturn the results of the awards were all silent for a while.
Thanks to book friend Yasuo and Doraemon for their rewards, thank you!
