1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 441 "Teacher Jiang, just obey me."

After this slap, Jiang Wen fell to the ground, his head buzzing.

When a person is stunned by a blow, he will really see stars.

This is mainly because after the brain is hit hard, the nerve cells responsible for transmitting visual signals vibrate, and the brain incorrectly translates the image of a "sky full of stars".

This is the scene that Jiang Wen sees at this moment.

Tonight is full of stars
"Xiao Jiang drank too much today. You should help him go back quickly." Jiang Xian rubbed his hands and calmly directed the two comrades from the Shanghai Film Studio.

The two looked at each other blankly, then looked at the factory director Xu Sangchu. Seeing that Xu Sangchu's face had darkened, he hurriedly carried Jiang Wen to the car.

"let me go."

"Let me go."

Jiang Wen struggled hard and sat down on the ground.

Two male comrades from the Shanghai Film Studio quickly dragged him up, and two more came over. Together, the four of them carried him firmly into the car.

On the other side, Liu Xiaoqing was tidying up his clothes that were torn into a mess while watching the scene happening in front of him.

"This guy can't handle alcohol." Jiang Xian said as if nothing had happened. He turned around and smiled at Xie Jin and Li Jun and said, "How can he flirt with our female comrades when he's drunk?"

"Hahahaha." Xie Jin laughed awkwardly.

Of course he knew about the affair between Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing.

His brows were furrowed when Jiang Wen made a fuss just now.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Xian would resolve the problem in such an efficient way.

Really neat and simple.

In fact, other people also realized that something might be wrong between Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing.

But now that Jiang Xian has come to the rescue, it is hard to say whether this is true or not.

Maybe, maybe not.

If so.

In short, as long as there is no solid evidence, it is just hearsay and there is no way to draw a conclusion.

"It's getting late. Some comrades are tired, and some have drunk too much. Let's send everyone back home to rest early." Xu Sangchu, the director of Shanghai Film Studio, said.

The farce was averted, Jiang Xian got back into the car and quickly returned to his residence.

There are dozens of people in the main creative team, and of course it is impossible for each person to live in one room. Men and women, including the actors, have to share a room with three people.

But as the author of the original novel, Jiang Xian assigned him a room alone, and Jiang Xian did not refuse this kindness, as he was not used to sleeping with other gay men.

The accommodation conditions in Shanghai are much more modern than those in Beijing. The rooms are equipped with bathrooms, toilets and bathtubs.

Jiang Xian took off all his clothes, raised the shower head, and habitually turned it on to check if there was any shit inside.

But I soon realized that this is Shanghai, not Chengdu, and this is the 80s, not later times.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, he thought about what happened today, mainly the premiere of "Furong Town". As for Jiang Wen's affairs, he didn't care too much.

As for Jiang Wen, he just fought.

This kid should be a perceptive person and would not be unable to react. Although the slap was hard, he was actually helping him.

As I was thinking about it, I took out a copy of People's Literature from February 1985 from the bedside.

This issue was very unusual, and it was the first time that the "chief editor technique" conceived by Wang Meng and Jiang Xian was implemented.

The so-called "chief editor's skill" is to regard the content of each issue as an "organism" of a "group of works". The published articles and the order of arrangement are very particular, and the most prominent point is to create a contrast.

In other words, there is a contrast in the style of the headlines in each issue, which can mobilize the possibilities of various types of creation. The greater the style changes, the more it can reflect the differences in the possibilities of literary expression.

Simply put, it is to design contrast within the same issue.

Take this February 1985 issue as an example. First up are Liu Xinwu's documentary novel "Long Shot" and Li You's reportage "The Tilted Football Field", followed by Xu Xing's modernist novel "Variations without a Theme".

Documentary novels and modernist novels were juxtaposed in prominent positions during the same period.

It creates a huge reading impact on readers, and can also strengthen and highlight the diversity and inclusiveness of the publishing philosophy, as well as the tension between different literary types and styles.

This kind of People's Literature has changed its previous rigidity and the quality of the publication has been visibly improved.

Readers have given very positive feedback on the changes made to People's Literature.

The most intuitive feedback is reflected in the increase in circulation.

As of now, the circulation of the February issue has exceeded that of the January 2 issue of People's Literature and continues to increase steadily.

At the same time, readers' praise turned into letters and were sent to the editing department of People's Literature at No. 2 Shatan North Street.

"Dong dong dong."

I was reading a magazine when I heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Xian put on some clothes, got out of bed, opened the door and saw that the person coming was Liu Xiaoqing.

"Teacher Jiang."

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Xian held the door and glanced at the corridor.

Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped aside and motioned Liu Xiaoqing to come in and talk.

He also knew that it would be bad to let her in.

But in comparison, if he was dressed like this and talking to Liu Xiaoqing in the corridor and was caught by someone, who knows what kind of rumors would spread.

"Teacher Jiang, thank you for what happened today." Liu Xiaoqing's eyes were evasive. After all, that thing was not a glorious thing.

"Is that why you came?"

"Ah."

"There's nothing to thank me for. I won't pour you any water. Go back." Jiang Xian saw the guest off without any courtesy.

This indifferent attitude made Liu Xiaoqing feel uncomfortable again.

Am I so unattractive?
I don’t think there is a single man in China who would dislike me so much!
Except Jiang Xian in front of him.

Liu Xiaoqing is definitely a ruthless person.

In order to play the role well, she was able to crawl through the stone steps on her knees in the movie "Little Flower". Even though her knees were worn out by the stones, she persisted and finished the scene.

Seeing a man and a woman alone in the room, she tripped over herself for some unknown reason, cried "Ouch", and instantly lost her balance, falling into Jiang Xian's arms, hugging him vaguely.

Pinch.

Wow, I didn’t expect Teacher Jiang to have such strong muscles.

"Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xian pushed her away and frowned, "Go back quickly."

Liu Xiaoqing bit her lip and said, "There are too many people in my room, it's too noisy, I can't rest well, why don't I stay here with you?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps closer, almost sticking to Jiang Xian.

Looking at him, Liu Xiaoqing's heart was pounding.

She is in her 30s and now has only one thought:
You must conquer this man once, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.

She was confident that with her beauty, Jiang Xian should not and could not just stand there motionless.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xian still cleverly dodged her body.

"Comrade Xiaoqing, please respect yourself."

"."

Liu Xiaoqing blushed immediately.

As a woman, and the dream lover of so many men across the country, how could her self-esteem bear being rejected by Jiang Xian again and again?
Now that things have come to this, I might as well stop hiding it.

She undid her hair loops and let her hair down.

"Jiang Xian, are you still a man?"

"I'm telling you, I'm interested in you. You can do whatever you want to me tonight."

"Don't worry, no one will know what happened tonight. I, Liu Xiaoqing, will keep my word."

"."

Since Liu Xiaoqing had spoken, he might as well just spill his guts. His words were no less than "I want to sleep with you."

Unfortunately, after he finished speaking, he was still met with Jiang Xian's cold gaze.

He sat down on the chair calmly, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"I'm not interested in you."

"." For a moment, Liu Xiaoqing even felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

For women, the greatest insult is not being bullied, but that I’m standing right in front of you and you don’t even want to bully me!

For Liu Xiaoqing, the humiliation he suffered at Jiang Xian's hands today could be said to be the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced in his life.

Glancing at Jiang Xian, she saw him quietly reading a book alone. He didn't even look at her and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

Liu Xiaoqing opened the door in a daze and left Jiang Xian's room.

As the saying goes, what you can't get, you love more.

Liu Xiaoqing was born with a strong romantic physique, but unfortunately at this moment, Chen Guojun and Jiang Wen were no longer in his mind.

Only one obsession remains.

Jiang Wen vomited for a while, drank some water, slept for a while, and then woke up.

My head hurts a bit, but I roughly remember what happened just now.

Jiang Xian slapped me!

Jiang Wen touched his face. The right side of his face still hurt and was a little swollen.

Of course he felt angry and annoyed at first, and he wished he could go over and fight with Jiang Xian right now.

However, Jiang Xian's identity as someone who was not easy to mess with made him calm down.

Jiang Wen held his forehead, thought about it again, and suddenly realized.

I have to thank Jiang Xian for that slap!
Otherwise, if this matter gets out, who will ask him to film in the future? Purely innocent things force the male protagonist.

After realizing this, Jiang Wen felt that he should go and thank Jiang Xian.

Thanks to the slap from Teacher Jiang, he was able to save his career.

"Is there water?"

After asking for some water from his roommate, Jiang Wen recalled the location of Jiang Xian's room, then staggered out, went upstairs according to his memory, and looked for the door of Jiang Xian's room.

Just after coming out of the stairwell, Jiang Wen looked at the door of Jiang Xian's room and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Xiao Qing?"

Before he could say anything, Liu Xiaoqing stepped into Jiang Xian's room and the door closed the next second.

Jiang Wen was confused.

He glanced at his watch.

It was so late, what was Liu Xiaoqing doing in Jiang Xian’s room?
He stood there, waiting for a long time. The door of Jiang Xian's room finally opened again, and Liu Xiaoqing came out of the room with her hair loose.

Jiang Wen glanced at his watch.

In and out, no more, no less, fifteen minutes.

Jiang Wen knows very well that any problem will take 15 minutes to resolve.

"."

He felt as if a knife had stabbed into his heart.

Thinking of the cold war between Liu Xiaoqing and him, then thinking of her closeness with Jiang Xian these days, and then thinking of the scene she had just witnessed.

Jiang Wen squatted on the ground and forced a miserable smile.

So I must have been dumped by Liu Xiaoqing.

After struggling for many days, Jiang Wen finally figured it out at this moment. Maybe it's time to give up this shameful relationship.

Jiang Xian certainly didn't know that there was a sad person in this city.

He was also feeling a sense of danger in his heart. Liu Xiaoqing was really not an easy woman to deal with.

But this guy has a really good figure.

Clothes these days have too much fabric and cover up the body shape, so it’s hard to tell that Liu Xiaoqing is actually quite plump.

It is big where it should be big, and small where it should be small, and its scale is quite impressive.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xian didn't want to have anything to do with her.

If you touch her, you will easily get into trouble.

Silent all night.

The next day, the entrance of Shanghai's famous Majestic Theatre was packed with people.

"Hey, Lao Li, do you want to watch a movie?"

"Yes, yes, but I've already seen the movie. I heard that Liu Xiaoqing is coming over today, so I came to meet her."

"Me too, me too. Wow, Liu Xiaoqing acted so well in the movie!"

"You are here to see Liu Xiaoqing, I am here to see Jiang Xian. I have read his novels and have admired him for a long time."

"Comrade, do you also read Jiang Xian's novels?"

“I read every book and follow every article.”

"It seems like you and I are in the same boat."

Movie fans were chattering and discussing while queuing at the door.

Of course, they came to attend the premiere of "Furong Town".

Tickets for the premiere go on sale at 7am.

Movie fans and audiences arrived early to line up.

The ticket sales were chaotic from the beginning, and the crowds were so intense that all the glass windows of the ticket office were broken.

On the other side, Jiang Xian got up, stretched, stayed in bed for a while, then got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the Majestic Theatre.

"Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, something happened." As soon as he went out, screenwriter Li Jun stopped him.

"what happened?"

Li Jun looked around and said nervously and seriously:
"This morning, I received a call from Beijing. As you know, although Uncle Qun gave the green light to "Furong Town", he has always held a negative attitude towards this movie."

"Uncle Qun."

Jiang Xian was stunned.

He has a pen name called "Hua Zhiqiao".

"According to what was revealed in Beijing, Furong Town is going to hold a premiere. However, the two main actors, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, are not allowed to attend and cannot appear in front of the fans."

"Do you want to take care of this?"

Jiang Xian had a slight headache.

"Today the fans came to see Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing. If they are not here, the fans will be in chaos."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Li Jun looked helpless, "Beijing only gave us two choices."

"Two choices?"

"Oh, right, there are two choices. Either cancel the premiere of Hibiscus Town, or don't let Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen appear."

"."

Jiang Xian figured it out quickly.

Why did this call come neither too early nor too late?

Why did you notify me today?

This is a conspiracy of some people!

Since its release, "Furong Town" has received rave reviews from the audience, which of course makes some of the people above who don't like "Furong Town" unhappy.

So there was a story behind this premiere.

If Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen do not appear, I wonder how much anger the audience will have to face the creative team.

And they could only suffer this loss in silence.

This is also the purpose of those people.

Since the audience likes you, I want them to turn around and scold you.

After realizing this, Jiang Xian raised his head and met Li Jun's gaze.

"Okay, since you are not allowed to attend, then Lao Li, please tell Lao Xie for me."

“I’m not going to this premiere either.”
