1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 74 Don't treat writers as cadres
Capital Institute of Technology.

It’s almost dinner time and every household is cooking. The smell of cooking smoke comes in through the windows into every household, which is both pungent and fragrant.

At this moment, Zhu Lin's family is already using gas tanks.

The promotion of liquefied gas has been quite difficult.

Beijing is always ahead in everything. When liquefied gas was being tested and promoted, the equipment was often installed only to be dismantled and thrown around the yard the next moment.

This year marks the 14th year of the promotion, and more than 68.1 households in Beijing have switched from burning coal to burning gas.

At this time, gas cylinders were also supplied with tickets, and the supply was extremely tight. They were the treasures of every household. If you lived in a shared kitchen in a tube-shaped building, you had to lock your gas cylinder. Girls would also ask in advance when looking for a date: "Do you have a gas cylinder at home?"

"Linlin, have you finished filming this movie?" Dr. Liu asked.

"Well, the shooting mission is completed."

"What's the director's name?"

"Ling Zifeng, the one who filmed "Chinese Daughter"."

Ling Zifeng is not only a director, but also a screenwriter and actor. He can be said to be an all-rounder and one of the famous "Four Handsome Men" of the Beijing Film Studio.

However, only three of the "Four Marshals" are still alive. Director Cui Wei passed away at the beginning of the year. In his representative work "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", he personally selected An Jisi, who played Ga Zi, and was grateful for his talent.

The two generations of actors who played Gazi have become the epitome of the times.

Angis felt guilty and disappeared after he grew up. He was no longer seen on the screen. CCTV held a symposium and invited all the living actors. They called Angis, but he didn't come because it was raining heavily in Beijing and it was difficult to drive.

Anyway, I am too embarrassed to see the main creators of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" again.

“When will your movie be released?”

"It will be next year at the latest. The post-production is not finished yet. We still need to dub and submit for review."

"You still have to go for dubbing?"

"No need for me, there are special voice actors."

With current filming technology, it is naturally impossible to record the sound on site, and all dubbing is done later.

Some are dubbed by the actors themselves, and some are voiced by voice actors.

In the 86 version of "Journey to the West", the voice actor for the monkey was not Teacher Liu, but the voice actor of Donald Duck.

Tathagata and the Silver Horned King are voiced by the same person.

Ma Dehua, who played Zhu Bajie, dubbed Taibai Jinxing, Uncle Dong Hao dubbed Shouxing, and Zhang Hanyu dubbed Huangmei Dawang.
Unfortunately, the role of the Queen of Women was not voiced by Zhu Lin herself. The voice actor was Zhou Qingyu. The person everyone saw on TV was Zhu Lin, but the voice they heard was not Zhu Lin’s real voice.

Don’t be disappointed, the role of Monk Sha was voiced by Yan Huaili himself.

"Senior brother, the master was captured by the monster."

This is truly the original sound.

As we were talking, dinner was served.

Colorful vegetarian dishes and hot light soup.

Zhu Lin thought for a long time, put down her chopsticks, looked around with her almond-shaped eyes, and said solemnly: "Dad, Mom, I have something to announce to you."

Doctor Liu and Professor Zhu looked at each other.

"You don't have to say it. Your father and I understand."

"You understand everything?" Zhu Lin's heart skipped a beat.

"Your father and I have no objection to your wish to become an actor."

"It's not about this." Zhu Lin's face flushed. "I wanted to say that Jiang Xian and I are friends now."

"."

The room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. "When did it happen?"

"When we were filming in Xiangxi."

Professor Zhu was silent for a while, then said seriously, "This is a very good thing. You are at the age where you should have a boyfriend. Jiang Xian has a strong ideology, is upright, and is loyal to the Party and the people. Your mother and I have no objection to you having a boyfriend, right, Old Liu?"

"Yes, yes, we have no objection." Doctor Liu stated his attitude first, and then quickly asked: "But what are Jiang Xian's plans for the future? Has he talked to you about it?"

"Mom, Jiang Xian must join the team of writers. He has a talent for writing, and many great writers admire him."

"So, Jiang Xian is going to join the Writers Association in the future?" Doctor Liu recalled, "Old Zhu, I remember that the Writers Association was a big organization, right? Aren't all the writers in the past high-quality?"

The three highs are: high salary, high remuneration, and high bonuses.

"It's a unit for high-ranking officials. The writers in the Writers Association used to be so great, but it seems that the system has not been restored yet."

"How long will it take to recover?"

"At least after the Writers' Congress."

The Writers Association has an exclusive status in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. It and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are both high-ranking administrative units and directly under the central government.

When writers join the Writers Association and enter the ranks of professional writers, their status is equivalent to that of a state cadre. They not only enjoy welfare housing benefits, but also certain salary subsidies.

In the 50s, first-class literary writers, such as Zhou Libo and Cao Yu, had a monthly salary of 333.5 yuan, and second-class literary writers, such as Zhao Shuli and Shu Qun, had a monthly salary of 270 yuan.

To join the ranks of professional writers means to step into the system, where you can be guaranteed a good harvest regardless of drought or flood. Many people receive a monthly salary and gradually lose the motivation and passion to create.

Yan Lianke also severely criticized this matter, his representative work is "Year, Month, Day".

"If that's the case, Jiang Xian's job is pretty good." Doctor Liu looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, this prospective son-in-law is actually a prospective state official.

After spending a few more days at Renwen Press, Jiang Xian finally revised the first part of "Furong Town" for serialization in the September issue of "People's Literature".

Revising a manuscript is like squeezing toothpaste. As long as you put in some effort, you will be able to squeeze out some.

Jiang Xian does not have the habit of constantly revising manuscripts. He will stop when everyone is satisfied with them. He is not like some writers who are extremely strict, almost pathologically so.

For example, the world-famous writer Tolstoy would always type out a clean copy of his works and send it to him for proofreading before the newspapers published his works.

As soon as Tolstoy proofread, he could not help but want to revise it. In the end, the proof was full of holes and unrecognizable. Fortunately, his wife recognized his habitual symbols, and in order not to cause trouble for her colleagues in the newspaper, she had to stay up all night and help him recopy it.

When Tolstoy got the manuscript again, he could not help but revise it again. His wife had no choice but to rewrite it again. Tolstoy felt guilty and swore that he would never change it, but the writer's mouth also lied to women. He could not help but revise it again. Even if the manuscript had been sent out, he would suddenly remember it and send a telegram to his comrades in the newspaper, asking them to revise something for him.

"Jiang Xian, this manuscript is for you, take it and review it." Feng Jicai handed a thick stack of manuscripts of "Huo Yuanjia" to Jiang Xian.

This guy took a glance.

"Wow, the manuscript paper of Renwenshe is pretty good."

Renwen Press uses large manuscript paper with 500 words per page, which is the same as other publishers, but the blank space around the page is very large.

Friends who often revise manuscripts should know how comfortable it is to have large blank spaces on the sides, so that they can add a few words.

"I'll take it back and have a look."

After leaving Renwenshe, Jiang Xian was not in a hurry to return to Beijing Film Studio. Instead, he rode his bicycle towards Dongtangzi Hutong.

Teacher Shen’s house is right there.

Teacher Shen worked as an editor when he was young, so reviewing manuscripts is naturally a piece of cake for him.

But he is old, and Jiang Xian doesn't feel comfortable asking him to help review the manuscript.

But Senior Brother Wang is different.

He is still young, and young people have to work harder.
