1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 287 Another Account Wasted
As we all know, "National Model Worker" is the highest honorary title in our country.

In addition to "National Model Worker", the title of "Model Worker" will also be awarded at the provincial, municipal and some corporate levels.

As an encouragement to workers who have made outstanding achievements in social construction, this title will also be awarded to comrades in the writer's team.

Writers like Lu Yao and Jia Pingwa have been awarded the title of "Model Worker" by the province.

“Model worker.”

Jiang Xian was thinking about this in the editorial office of Film Creation. "Ah Cheng, come here, do you think the title of Model Worker awarded to me by Jingcheng City is provincial or municipal?"

"Model worker?"

"Yeah, I just received the notice. How come I've become a model worker now, haha."

"."

When Acheng heard this, he thought, it doesn't look like you are here to ask me a question.

While he was thinking about it, Jiang Xian saw Jiang Huaiyan, the head of the literature department, and he quickly walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Comrade Huaiyan, have you eaten?"

"I am a model worker"

"Haha."

No wonder Jiang Xian shows off everywhere.

It wouldn't be excessive for him to open a single page of the family tree now.

After all, in this year when labor is most glorious, the title of "Model Worker" is undoubtedly one of the most glorious and respected titles.

"This is strange. How can a writer like you be a model worker?" Rao Yuemei found it unbelievable when she heard this.

"Comrade Rao Yuemei, how can writers not be considered laborers? There are top talents in every profession. Your vision is still too narrow and your awareness needs to be improved." Jiang Xian lectured.

"Oh, you are the only one with a high level of awareness." Rao Yuemei rolled her eyes and immediately walked out of the house happily.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Guoqing asked.

"I'll cook two delicious dishes to celebrate for your son."

"Try to limit the number of dishes to four. Forget it. Three dishes, three vegetarian dishes!"

Jiang Guoqing stressed with a serious face, "From now on, our family will be a model worker family. We must be careful in every move, avoid extravagance and waste, and set a good example for the people."

As he spoke, he looked at Rao Yuemei again.

"In my opinion, you shouldn't change your bicycle either."

"Why are you talking about my changing bicycle again?"

Rao Yuemei was stunned. "Didn't we agree that I would give my old car to your daughter for school?"

"Jiang Ke School is not far from our home. If we get up early in the morning and take the bus for a few stops, we will be there in time."

When Jiang Ke heard this, his face suddenly looked miserable.

"Dad, you can't do this!"

Jiang Guoqing frowned, "What? Ask your brother to judge for you."

Jiang Xian was trying hard to hold back his laughter. Hearing this, he coughed twice. "I think what Dad said is quite right. Jiang Ke, I think you should take out your game console less often in the future. Don't show it off in front of your classmates."

Of course, Jiang Xian was talking about the Game & Watch handheld game console that he brought to Jiang Ke from Japan.

Jiang Guoqing was immediately inspired by this reminder, "That's right, those are things that children in capitalist society play with. If your classmates see them, it will bring bad reputation to our family. You are not allowed to play with them anymore. Give them to your mother and lock them in the closet."

"."

Jiang Ke felt like she had lost both her parents.

She didn't expect that her brother won the title of Model Worker, but not only did she not get any benefit, but she was also traumatized so much.

After a simple dinner, Jiang Guoqing and Rao Yuemei, the two elders who were used to staying at home watching TV after dinner, couldn't wait to go out and visit each other.

Jiang Ke held it in for a long time and ran to Jiang Xian.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Don't worry." Jiang Xian gave her a heads-up. "It's no use telling me anything. It was Dad's decision to take back the handheld game console."

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ke rolled her eyes and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. It's just a game console. If you don't want to play it, then don't play it."

"Oh, you are ambitious." Jiang Xian was quite surprised and looked up at her. "What do you want to say to me?"

Jiang Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "I don't want to go to high school anymore. Can you find me a job? I want to go to work."

"Going to work?"

When Jiang Xian heard this, he wanted to turn into Lei Jun and give her a lecture.

But on second thought, he was used to thinking about things from the perspective of his generation, and it would be unjust not to go to high school.

But in this era, going to high school is just one of the countless paths in life. There are many young people with only a junior high school diploma, and it does not affect their work.

So he stuffed the words of admonition back into his stomach, paused and asked, "If you don't go to school, then what do you want to do?"

"I also want to act and be an actor like my sister-in-law," said Jiang Ke.

"."

Jiang Xian couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had never thought about it in this regard before.

Now that Jiang Ke had brought it up, he looked her up and down carefully.

Not to mention, Jiang Ke is really a little beauty.

His family's genes are really good. Jiang Xian himself is not bad looking, with fair skin and almond-shaped eyes, he is a real pretty boy.

As for Jiang Ke, even if she is not as beautiful as the fishes that sink to the bottom of the water and the geese that fall, or the moon that hides in shame the flowers, she is also worthy of the words graceful and elegant.

She is a little over 1.6 meters tall, with a budding figure, clear and bright eyes with lively gaze, a small round face, a teardrop nose, and soft facial lines, a bit like Zhao Liying.

The key is factory original.

In terms of looks alone, she can beat most of the actresses in the entertainment industry in the future who have a face full of technology.

He looked left and right, and couldn't help but get started.

He pinched her cheeks and whispered:
"At least better than Cai Ming."

"Who is Cai Ming?"

"There's only one actress in the Beijing Film Studio." Jiang Xian said, "Don't worry about her for now. Let me ask you, do you really want to be an actress?"

"I want to." Jiang Ke's eyes were firm. "Brother, please let me be an actor. I know it's not easy to be an actor. I can endure any hardship."

"That's what you said."

Jiang Xian did not object. As soon as his parents came back, he brought up the matter and discussed it with the two elders.

Jiang Guoqing and Rao Yuemei were beaming with joy. They had just shown off their model-working son outside, and when they heard Jiang Ke's decision, they were as if struck by lightning. After all, they had lived ordinary lives for so many years, and their ideology still remained in the ideology of ordinary families.

Be an actor?
This sounds like a fairy tale.

"Mom and Dad, don't feel weird."

Jiang Xian persuaded, "Zhu Lin and I both work at the Beijing Film Studio. We want to enter the entertainment industry, but others can't find a way to get in. Is it a big deal for our family? How about this, as long as you two have no objection, I will arrange it for the third child."

"Ugh."

Jiang Guoqing was heartbroken.

He was counting on a college student coming out of the Jiang family.

Jiang Qin didn't have the conditions at that time, so Jiang Xian found a way out on his own. The last hope lay on Jiang Ke.

Take a look now.

Another fucking account has been ruined.

"Let her try."

Rao Yuemei spoke up, "Jiang Ke's grades aren't good enough for studying together. Being an actor isn't much worse than going to college. Look at Zhu Lin, she's a pretty good actor, isn't she?"

"Mom, Zhu Lin is a graduate student." Jiang Xian reminded.

"Oh, yes."

Rao Yuemei realized it later and began to worry about her daughter's future again.

The matter was settled, and Jiang Xian felt it was a bit strange when he thought about it.

He is in the literary circle, and Zhu Lin is in the entertainment circle. Now, Zhu Lin's sister Zhu Hong is going to develop in the literary field, while his sister Jiang Ke is moving towards the entertainment field.

That morning, he met with Zhang Yimou, Chen Ai'ge and others.

"Boss." Chen Ai Ge was very enthusiastic when she saw him.

Several of them are about to graduate and are worried about which film studio they will be assigned to.

"We want to stay in Beijing. Can you get us into the Beijing Film Studio?" Chen Ai Ge asked tentatively.

"Come on, your dad can't get you in, how can I get you in?" Jiang Xian said unhappily.

I used to overestimate Chen Ai-ge. This guy's directing skills are just average. He can make a living from just one movie. I'd better let him shoot his trilogy and have fun on his own.

In comparison, judging only by ability, Jiang Xian still admires Zhang Yimou more.

This guy didn't have any background, and he was sent to the Guangxi Film Studio in the southwest as soon as he graduated. Jiang Xian was thinking about finding a way to keep him in Beijing, so he could continue to use him.

A few days passed in a flash.

Jiang Xian did not plan to let Jiang Ke enter the entertainment industry directly. He wanted to arrange for Jiang Ke to study at the Chinese Traditional Opera School after the New Year.

This school is the first opera art school in New China and has many famous alumni, such as Tu Honggang, who started studying there at the age of 12.

There was still no Spring Festival Gala in 82. There was only a program similar to a unit party, which was not broadcast live and was recorded on January 1st of the Gregorian calendar.

Zhu Lin hurried back from the set, spent the New Year reunion with Jiang Xian, and then left in a hurry.

After the new year, the first "October Literature Award" award ceremony will be held.

Jiang Zilon's article "Pioneer" also won an award. He came to Beijing from Tianjin early and lived in Jiang Xian's courtyard. Early that morning, he went to the award ceremony with Jiang Xian.

This year's awards were presented in Beijing, and later the ceremony was fixed in the ancient town of Lizhuang in Yibin, Sichuan.

As an important and important magazine in the literary world, October held its award ceremony with great fanfare.

Feng Mu, secretary of the China Writers Association, and Chen Huangmei, then vice minister of culture and vice chairman of the China Writers Association, both attended the award ceremony, which can be said to have given full face to the magazine "October".

Jiang Xian and Jiang Zilong chatted along the way, and Jiang Zilong sighed again: "You kid, every time there is an award ceremony, you can't just take the award peacefully, you always have to let us set off."

"You can't blame me for this." Jiang Xian said with a smile.

October is the only major magazine in China that combines short stories, novellas, novels, essays, poetry and reportage.

There are many categories of winning articles in the first "October Literature Award".

"The Garland under the Mountain" won the "Special Honor Award" in the "Novel" category.

"The Best Restaurant in the World" won the "Special Honor Award" in the "Script" category.

This also means that Jiang Xian won two major awards in a row this time.

Jiang Zilon was feeling extremely depressed. In his mind, whenever Jiang Xian was present at the award ceremony, writers like him were always overshadowed by him.

Last year's national selection of outstanding novels was even more exaggerated. Jiang Xian not only targeted the writers, but also the editors.

October spent a lot of money on this award ceremony. In addition to Beijing, it also invited many well-known writers, critics and editors from as far away as Shanghai.

Li Xiaolin from "Harvest" was among them. As soon as he saw Jiang Xian, he talked to him about the novel "Rocking, Rocking to Grandma's Bridge".

"How can you, a Beijing native, write about Shanghai with such flavor?" Li Xiaolin said in surprise.

Although she is from Chengdu, she has lived in Shanghai for a long time and can be considered half Shanghainese. However, after reading Jiang Xian's novel, she felt that she had lived in vain in Shanghai for so many years.

Jiang Xian can use the old Shanghai sayings like "walking among cars, the road is like a tiger's mouth" and "the stingy man in Shanghai", "Ajinomoto" and so on with ease.

"My brother-in-law is a native Shanghainese. I wrote a novel about old Shanghai for him before, so he has accumulated some experience in this area," Jiang Xian explained.

Li Xiaolin nodded. "You are in Beijing, so you probably don't know how popular your novel is in the south. Take Shanghai for example. Now all the young men in Shanghai dream of Xiao Jinbao, and all the young women hope to become Xiao Jinbao."

"I can understand that men have fantasies about Xiao Jinbao, but why would a woman want to be Xiao Jinbao? Xiao Jinbao herself hates herself, so why would she want to be her?"

"That's just youth. They are all as innocent as little Gillian."

Li Xiaolin explained with a smile, "You made Xiao Jinbao so cool, a heartthrob, a singing and dancing queen. Of course, they think it's great to be a woman like Xiao Jinbao. You just wrote this character so beautifully."

“This is so”

After Jiang Xian reacted, he shook his head helplessly.

It is written very clearly in "Grandma's Bridge" that little A Jiao dreams of becoming the next Xiao Jinbao in the end. This is inevitable. A woman cannot escape the dream of Xiao Jinbao's glamorous life. As for the rest, it is just like drinking the water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold.

Li Xiaolin also told Jiang Xian that the circulation of the 81th issue of "Harvest" in 6 was quite good.

Previously, the circulation of "Harvest" has been stable at 81 to 6 copies. After the publication of the 10th issue in , they printed an additional copies last month. According to the current sales trend, it is estimated that the next reprint will be coming soon.

"Mr. Xu!"

Li Xiaolin stopped a gray-haired old man and introduced him to Jiang Xian. His name was Xu Zhongyu, and he was engaged in education. He was a famous literary theorist and served as the deputy editor-in-chief of the famous literary theory journal "Literary Theory Research". He had also written a literary review for Jiang Xian's "Grandma's Bridge".

"I didn't expect you to come too." Jiang Xian had heard of Xu Zhongyu's name and greeted him politely.

Xu Zhongyu was very happy to see him, "Jiang Xian, I came here just to see you."

"See me?" Jiang Xian was a little confused.

Xu Zhongyu said with a smile, "I know you have a lot of insights into modernist literature.

Do you dare to write a literary theory article for our Literary Theory Research, discussing the most controversial modern school now? "
