1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 49 Beautiful Move
“Can this be considered a love letter?”

"I sprinkled some rice on the paper, and the chickens pecked at it better than this."

"Aige, you should seek help from someone else. I can't change this."

Jiang Xian handed the "love letter" back with disgust.

Chen Hong was also speaking in a sarcastic tone, with a long drawn-out voice.

"This is too bad. The students in my class all wrote better than this."

In fact, she couldn't tell who was good or bad, but she knew that she had to stand on the same front with Jiang Xian, share the same hatred and defeat this old man who was stirring up power.

Chen Ai Ge did not give up.

"No, Brother Jiang, please help me fix it."

"It's impossible to change it. I'd just throw it away and write a new one."

"Brother Jiang, how about you write the previous one for me?" Chen Ai Ge asked tentatively.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes again and looked down upon this man even more.

Chen Ai Ge didn't care about the little girl's feelings. "Don't worry, I won't ask you for help in vain. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"Thanks or not, the main thing is that we are all brothers."

Jiang Xianle smiled cheerfully, and his expression changed. "What's the name of your girl?"

"Sun Jialin."

"What's your profession?"

"I'm from the School of Civil Engineering, one from the south city and one from the north city."

"What are your hobbies?"

"She wears new clothes, watches movies, and reads literary magazines. She is quite good at English and is studying at the Royal University of Canada."

"Okay, I understand. But I'm very busy. You have to come back to pick it up in a week."

"One week?" Chen Ai Ge hesitated for a long time, and finally believed that Jiang Xian's level was worth waiting for.

"Okay, I'll come back then."

"Teacher Shen, are you busy?" Jiang Xian tried to get close to Shen Congwen when he had some free time.

In order to check the costumes of the crew, Shen Congwen simply stayed in the guesthouse for a few days.

He is extremely professional in clothing.

After leaving Yenching University, Shen Congwen worked for a long time in a history museum as a cultural relic interpreter.

This is what volunteers in museums often do, interpreting cultural relics to visitors.

The tourists who came to the museum at that time probably didn’t know that the tour guide in front of them was the great talent of the past: Shen Congwen.

It was also because of this experience that he spent almost the entire second half of his life immersed in the study of ancient Chinese costumes, and began to publish a monograph on costume research - "Research on Ancient Chinese Costumes".

It took him 21 years to write it. Some people say that "Research on Ancient Chinese Clothing" was a book that almost killed him.

"Xiao Jiang, Director Ling just got the news that the filming location for the movie has been decided."

"Really? Where is it?"

Shen Congwen's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, "Zhenxian City, that is also my hometown."

"It should be a very beautiful little town." Jiang Xian roughly knew the place, which was later renamed Fenghuang Ancient Town.

"Xiangxi Bandit Suppression Records", "Blood Drum", "Bloody Xiangxi", "Xiangxi Past", "Xiang Girl Xiaoxiao", "God Gun and Blood Hate". These films were all shot there.

As the filming start time approached, the actors of "Border Town" crew officially moved into the guesthouse, including Feng Hanyuan, Liu Kui, Jin Feng, and Shi Lei. Shi Lei, this young man, was as handsome as Jiang Xian.

Zhu Lin was also seconded from the Medical College to join the filming crew.

"They give me 5 cents subsidy every day!" The girl was very excited.

"Really?" Jiang Xian clapped his hands with the crowd, "That's great, that's great."

Zhu Lin was curious again.

"How much did they pay you for writing the script?"

At present, the standard for script remuneration has not been determined. The adapted script is evaluated comprehensively based on the influence of the author and the original work. The previous standard came out in the 60s, which was 2000-6000 yuan for feature film scripts and 500-1500 yuan for short feature films.

"We are a co-writer. There are four screenwriters with me, and they gave me 500 yuan."

"."

Zhu Lin pouted.

By the way, actors don’t get paid these days.

Nowadays, being an actor is a profession, but the social division of labor is different. Like workers, actors receive wages from their units or drama troupes every month, and their remuneration is assessed based on length of service and contribution.

Zhang Jinling, the golden flower of Beijing Film Studio, became famous nationwide after her performance in "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" and her monthly salary was 30 yuan.

Not to mention subsidies. When Liu Xiaoqing was filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", Tony Leung used his unfinished meal tickets to flush the toilet. Liu Xiaoqing had to pay for her meals out of her own pocket, which made her so angry that she cried and demanded meat.

When going abroad for exchanges, poor actors can only borrow costumes from the costume library of the Beijing Film Studio. When receiving foreign delegations, any gifts worth more than 5 yuan must be handed over to the organization.

"Ah~ Sister Zhu Lin, Brother Dajiang is bad~"

"Jiang Xian, why do you always bully children every day?"

"I was just teasing her."

The time they spent living at the Beijing Film Studio was the period when Zhu Lin and Jiang Xian had the most frequent contact.

Both of them lived in a guesthouse, so they could see each other every day when they woke up.

"Come on, have some White Rabbit." Jiang Xian took out a few pieces of candy from the drawer and distributed them to the two of them.

The big beauty and the little beauty, it's really pleasing to the eyes when they stand together.

"Xiao Jiang."

Just as he was thinking, Mr. Shen happened to pass by the door, and Jiang Xian quickly invited him in. "Teacher Shen, have some candy, have some candy."

"I can't. You young people can eat it. It's quite sweet."

Mr. Shen, holding a White Rabbit cigarette in his mouth, paced around the room shyly, and suddenly noticed a manuscript on the table.

"Huh? Jiang Xian, what is this?"

Jiang Xian nodded and smiled, "I am ashamed to say that I wrote a love letter for a friend."

"You young people." Shen Congwen smiled helplessly, but also a little curious.

"Can I read it?"

Love letters have a very special meaning to Shen Congwen.

He is hailed as the best literary master of love letters in history.

In order to pursue his wife Zhang Zhaohe, he spent half a year writing her a love letter every day. At that time, Zhang Zhaohe was still his student and was annoyed by him, so she took these love letters to find the principal Hu Shi.

As a result, Hu Shi felt the same way and immediately offered his assistance. Not only did he not stop it, he also personally acted as a matchmaker. Shen Congwen also insisted on writing love letters to Zhang Zhaohe for two years, and finally moved this iceberg.

With Jiang Xian's permission, Shen Congwen shifted his gaze to the lines of timeless text.

[Dear Garin:
The trees shed their lush clothes and turned gray and yellow.

I saw countless trees covered with snow, like a fairy tale world.

I count the hours, minutes and seconds until I can hold you in my arms.

Sometimes you remind me of a house.

The house was decorated with beautiful lights and everyone was very happy.

The distance between us is causing us great suffering.

My time and experiences mean nothing to me because you are not with me.

From the day I saw you, I fell in love with you.

I still love you today.

I will love you for the rest of my life.]
All of Shen Congwen's attention was drawn to the words on the paper.

His eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyes gradually became moist.

A love letter seemed to bring him back to the 20s.

He was 26 years old that year and it was his first time giving a lecture on stage. He was confident about what he had planned, but he ended up making such a mess that the whole class was filled with laughter.

That should have been his darkest moment, but it was also his happiest moment.

He spotted her in the crowd.

"From the day I saw you, I fell in love with you."

love at first sight.

He believes it firmly.

"I will love you for the rest of my life."

It ended up being a mess.

Shen Congwen was immersed in the situation brought by the words, and uncontrollable sadness appeared just like that.

He still couldn't help crying.

I couldn't control my pain and cried.

When Zhu Lin noticed that Shen Congwen was crying, she was very surprised and her eyes widened. She never expected that Shen Congwen would cry.

Jiang Xian was also shocked. He didn't expect that a love letter copied from the movie "Green Book" would make Shen Congwen so sad.

"Mr. Shen, are you okay?" he asked in a low voice.

Shen Congwen wiped his tears and did not speak for a long time, his mood still immersed in the memories brought by this love letter.

"Jiang Xian."

“You write very well, very well.”

To readers:
I really don’t want to post this chapter at the end.

I especially don’t want to destroy this mood at the end of this chapter.

But some things are unbearable.

Let me say this once again, I have never brushed any good reviews, and I have never opened a small account to do anything to brag about myself.

Since I wrote my second book a few years ago and truly entered the online writing circle, I have never done this kind of thing.

Including the act of promoting the chapter.

I never ask other authors for chapter recommendations. Some of them are because I am too familiar with the authors, and when we chat and joke, I say, "Dear author, you are taking off so fast, you must give me a chapter recommendation," and then they take it seriously and give it to me.

Whether a book can be successful or not has nothing to do with chapter recommendations or good reviews.

With the current recommendation mechanism of Qidian, if the book has good content, it will definitely become popular. But if the content is not good, even if the author is a great writer, he will have his own readers, his peers will recommend his chapters, and he will spend money on monthly tickets to try to get the top spot on the new book list. In the end, aren’t there many books that fail in the first order?
If the book is not interesting, readers will definitely leave.

So all I have ever done is to write every word carefully.

Brush good reviews?
What’s the use of brushing?

I really wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.

This book by the synthetic literary giant currently has more than 10 words, and has been read over a thousand times. However, there has not been a single negative review about the content of the novel. Looking at the entire Qidian, I am afraid that not many people can achieve this.

In this case, it is normal to have one or two good reviews, right?

Why do you have to use the most vicious thoughts to speculate about a person?
Class is over.
