1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 236 Famous, write the theme song for the movie "Loess Plateau"? (Seeking full order

After greeting the judges and exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Xuemin was once again led to the seat of the award-winning writer by the receptionist, Old Pan!
The award-winning writers were arranged to sit in the third row in the front. When Cheng Xuemin walked over here, Jia Aoping and Mo Shen had already taken their seats!
"Xuemin, this way!"

Seeing Cheng Xuemin coming over here, Jia Aoping quickly greeted him and shouted.

"Teacher Pan, I'll go there myself. You don't have to be polite. I have an acquaintance over there!"

Cheng Xuemin's seat was originally arranged in the middle of the third row. When he saw Jia Aoping on the right greet him, he said something to Lao Pan.

"Okay, then, Xuemin, come back and sit down at the Humanities Society. You forgot to bring the new comic book home to draw the day before yesterday!"

Old Pan said to Cheng Xuemin with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Pan, I will do it when I have time!"

The last time he went to Renwen Publishing House to sign in and submit his manuscript, he received the royalties but did not take the picture book back to paint, because Cheng Xuemin really did not have much time to paint during this period.

Now I am busy paying off my debts and finishing my manuscripts. As for drawing comic books, I may have to wait until after the college entrance examination.

"Lao Jia, when did you come here!?"

"On the 13th, I waited for you all day at the Humanities Society!"

When Cheng Xuemin moved closer to Jia Aoping, he glanced at the back of the Great Hall and saw many familiar faces, all of whom were busy nodding to them.

He was about seven or eight rows behind Jia Aoping. When he saw Lu Yao and Hu Cai, he nodded in response.

He came up to Jia Aoping and greeted him and asked.

"Xuemin, we know! Lao Hu, Lao Lu and I also came here on the 13th!"

"It was just after 5pm when we reported to Renwen Press. At that time, Editor-in-Chief Li of Renwen Press told us that you, Xuemin, had been waiting for us for a whole day!"

Jia Aoping quickly moved to an empty seat next to him, gave a seat to Cheng Xuemin, and said.

"Ha! That's really unfortunate!" Cheng Xuemin was stunned for a moment when he heard Jia Aoping say that they also arrived on the 13th. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot, I forgot. The train from our provincial capital seems to be the 3pm one. I should have thought that you would arrive at 4 or 5pm!"

This is indeed what Cheng Xuemin forgot. There is only one train from their provincial capital every day, and it arrives in Yanjing at two or three in the afternoon if there is no delay!

Cheng Xuemin has sat on this ride more than once, he should remember it!

But that day I was also waiting for them from Yanhe Literature, actually I was waiting for Li Shuguang from Renwen Publishing House to pay me for the royalties for his comic book of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

As soon as he received the royalties, Cheng Xuemin went back without waiting too long.

"Yes, there is indeed only the one at 3pm..." Jia Aoping was still reminiscing with Cheng Xuemin when he noticed that Mo Shen beside him had pulled him. He then realized what was happening and quickly introduced him to Cheng Xuemin, "By the way, Xuemin, this is Mo Shen, a local writer from northern Shaanxi!"

"The award-winning work Window was written by Lao Mo!"

It was Mo Shen?!

When Cheng Xuemin heard the name, he was shocked at first, but he soon felt relieved!

Didn’t Jia Aoping just introduce them as local writers from northern Shaanxi? It’s not surprising!

Because in the following decades, Mo Shen, together with Lu Yao and Jia Aoping, were known as the Three Musketeers of the Shaanxi-Gansu literary world, and all of them played an important role in the achievements of modern literature.

Cheng Xuemin immediately stood up and greeted Mo Shen in front of him, "Hello, Mr. Mo, I was deeply inspired by your article "Window" published in "Yanhe Literature" at the beginning of last year!"

“It can be said that this is an excellent manuscript that is on par with Mr. Liu’s “Class Teacher”!”

Cheng Xuemin was right, because if it weren't for this little butterfly, Mo Shen's "Window" would have won the first prize of this award together with Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher" and Lu Xinhua's "Scars".

This shows how great the influence of Mo Shen's "Window" is.

and!

This is also why Liu Xinwu and Lu Xinhua took a different approach and boldly wrote a scar literature, creating this school and reaping the benefits of the founder.

Otherwise, if we really compare them, it will be completely beaten by Mo Shen's "Window".

It can be seen how powerful Mo Shen was back then!

But all these are just hypotheticals. Now there is the anomaly of Cheng Xuemin, and there are no first, second, or third prizes in this award ceremony.

Instantly, Mo Shen felt flattered. He quickly stretched out his hands to hold Cheng Xuemin's hands, shook hands and said excitedly: "No, no, Xuemin, you are too polite. Just call me Lao Mo!"

"Also, I just found out that you, Xuemin, are the designated pioneer of reform and opening up, Old Qiao. Compared to you, Xuemin, I am really far behind!"

"Yes, yes, Xuemin, don't call him Teacher Mo! We are about the same age, just call us Old Mo!" Jia Aoping next to him also said.

Are you about the same age?

Although all of them were born in the 1950s, Lao Jia, Lao Mo and Lao Lu were either born in 1950 or 1951, while Cheng Xuemin was born at the end of 1958, so there is a difference of seven or eight years.

Of course, Cheng Xuemin would certainly follow suit and politely reply: "We are indeed about the same age, so then it's Lao Mo!"

"Old Jia and Old Mo, you arrived in Yanjing the day before yesterday. Why didn't you come to my place yesterday? I left my address with the Humanities Publishing House."

Cheng Xuemin then asked, didn’t we agree in the letter that you would come to our house for a visit after you come to Yanjing?
Cheng Xuemin estimated that he had been waiting at home for a whole day yesterday.

"I know, I know. When we signed in, Renwen Society told us that you, Xuemin, left us your address!"

"But we also thought that we could meet at the venue today, so we didn't go!"

"I thought I'd pay him a special visit after the meeting to save time!"

Jia Aoping took Cheng Xuemin's hand, motioned for him to sit down again, and then explained.

"That's fine, that's fine. After the meeting today, let's go to my house and have a visit, okay, Lao Mo?" Cheng Xuemin invited again.

"Okay, okay!" Lao Mo nodded awkwardly and said okay repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. Let's see how Old Hu arranges it after we meet him! After the meeting, we will stay in Yanjing for two or three days!" Jia Aoping and Cheng Xuemin are old acquaintances, so he said a few more words.

Cheng Xuemin nodded and said, "Okay, after the meeting, I'll meet up with Lao Hu and Lao Lu and set a time!"

"Xuemin, I just heard from Lao Jia that three of your articles won awards this time?" Mo Shen was reserved and awkward for a while, and after everyone got familiar with each other after chatting, he couldn't help but ask.

After hearing Mo Shen's question, Jia Aoping also nodded and asked, "Yes, Xuemin, why did I hear that three of your manuscripts won awards this time?"

"Besides the Yellow Earth Plateau of our Yanhe literature and Director Qiao's inauguration, what else is there?"

"Is it the 'Chen Huansheng's Adventures in the City' published in the Shanghai magazine 'Harvest'? But I looked it up and found that it was only published this year?"

Still being asked!
Cheng Xuemin nodded with a wry smile, and explained to Jia Aoping and Mo Shen, "It is true that there are rumors that three of my manuscripts have won awards!" "They are "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office", "The Shepherd", and "The Grass Heart". These three articles actually do not include "The Loess Plateau" that I published in our Yanhe Literature."

"What? The Shepherd, which was published in Yenching Literature at the end of last year, was also written by you, Xuemin?"

Jia Aoping was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. It turned out that the three award-winning manuscripts that were circulated outside did not include the ones published in their Yanhe Literature's Loess Plateau?
Mo Shen was even more shocked and bewildered, and asked in shock: "Doesn't that mean that Xuemin, you have four articles selected this time, not three?"

The three articles circulated outside do not include the Loess Plateau of Yanhe Literature. If they are added, wouldn’t it be four articles?
Oh my god!

I had just heard that Huangtu Gaopo, a writer from northern Shaanxi living in Beijing, had three articles winning awards. At that moment, Mo Shen’s arrogance was crushed to the ground!
Everyone was wondering, besides "Record of Director Qiao's Inauguration" and "Loess Plateau", which other manuscript by Cheng Xuemin won the award?
You don’t know until you ask, and you’ll be shocked when you ask!

So the three articles that were circulated outside did not include the one by Yanhe Literature, and Cheng Xuemin’s winning manuscripts were not three, but four! ?
"Four articles?!" Jia Aoping also reacted and was stunned!
Ok!

This was thanks to the fact that Jia Ao and Ping Moshen were sitting near the right corridor, in front and behind, and no one had come to sit there yet.

Otherwise, with the reactions of Jia Aoping and Mo Shen, the entire venue would have been blown up.

“Actually, six articles!”

Since they asked this, Cheng Xuemin couldn't act so arrogant. He could only lower his head and whisper the truth in their ears.

"What?"

"Keep your voice down, Lao Jia, or we won't explode before the meeting even starts!"

Seeing that Jia Aoping was about to explode on the spot, Cheng Xuemin quickly held him down and reminded him again in a low voice.

"Six articles?!"

"Xuemin, you, you, you...how did you do that?"

Mo Shen was also shocked on the spot, his voice trembling extremely, but he tried his best to control his voice and asked in surprise.

"Six articles?! Xuemin, you..."

The same was true for Jia Aoping, who was being held down. His face was filled with disbelief and he didn't know what to say to the guy in front of him!
"In fact, I didn't expect to win so many awards! In addition to these four articles, the article "Female College Student Dormitory" published in Shanghai Literature and Art at the end of last year and the article "The Traitor" published in "Harvest" were also selected for awards!"

"The literary female college student dormitory in Shanghai was also written by you, Xuemin?"

Jia Aoping has the most say in Shanghai literature and art, because his award-winning work "Full Moon" was published in Shanghai Literature and Art.

Moreover, when Shanghai Literature and Art sent him a letter of introduction, they mentioned that three of their manuscripts won awards in this selection. The other one was "Our Commander" written by Deng Youmei, which was published in Shanghai Literature and Art in July last year.

Mo Shen next to him was indeed numb. Six of his manuscripts were selected for awards in one go. Is he still a human being?
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin in front of him is too young, just a guy in his early twenties!
Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded, then chatted with Lao Jia and Lao Mo for a few more words.

"No!? Lao Mo, why did you at Xi'an Film Studio want me to write a theme song for "Loess Plateau"?"

As they were chatting, Mo Shen actually made such a request to Cheng Xuemin on behalf of Xi'an Film Studio!
Only then did Cheng Xuemin know that Mo Shen had just been transferred to the Xi'an Film Studio and participated in the filming of the film adaptation of "Loess Plateau".

In addition to receiving the award, he also came here with a commission from the Xi'an Film Studio to write a work for him.

And it’s not about writing a movie script, but writing a theme song for his movie "Loess Plateau"!

This... Why is the Xi'an Film Studio's thinking so unconventional that they actually asked Cheng Xuemin, an author, to write the theme song?

"Right, right, right! Xuemin, you went to the front line to give a consolation performance some time ago, right? No wonder you never replied to any of Lao Lu's letters to you!"

Jia Aoping also nodded and said, "And we also heard that the song Bloodstained that has spread all over the country was written by you, Xuemin?"

"Uh! Lao Jia, did you guys listen to it too?" Cheng Xuemin finally realized why Xi'an Film Studio asked him to write a song!

"That's right then!"

"Old Wu from our Xiying Studio wants you, Xuemin, to help write a theme song. Do you think it's okay?"

Mo Shen also nodded and looked at Cheng Xuemin with a pleading look.

Write a theme song for Huangtu Gaopo? !
Cheng Xuemin had indeed not thought about it in this regard before, but now that Mo Shen brought it up, several suitable songs quickly flashed through his mind.

Xintianyou?
Farmer?
However, Cheng Xuemin soon chose the classic Shaanxi folk song "Loess Plateau" with the same name as "Loess Plateau".

That’s it!

Immediately, Cheng Xuemin smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, since Director Wu has given me this task, I promise to complete it!"

"Xuemin, this is considered as your agreement, right?"

Mo Shen, who was originally very nervous and expectant, couldn't help but clapped his thigh happily when he heard Cheng Xuemin agreed and asked to confirm.

"I promise, I promise. I will try to write the song by the time you guys go back, Lao Mo. Then you can bring it back and let Director Wu and the others try it out!"

“Can it be so fast?”

This again made Mo Shen and the others amazed. They all said that Cheng Xuemin was a quick writer, not only was he prolific but also his works were of high quality.

I never thought that writing a song could be so fast?
"I'll try. I'll try my best. If it's not finished by then, I'll just send it again!"

"Oh, is this your seat? Sorry, sorry!"

Just when they were chatting enthusiastically, people started to come over to the seats next to them. Cheng Xuemin quickly stood up and said embarrassedly.

"Xuemin, your seat is over here!"

Then Liu Xinwu, who was sitting in the middle seat, waved and shouted to Cheng Xuemin!
"Okay, Mr. Liu!" Cheng Xuemin nodded to Old Liu, and then said to Jia Aoping and Mo Shen, "Old Jia and Old Mo, let's talk after the meeting!"

"Okay, okay, Xuemin, you should hurry over first! The meeting is about to start!"

Jia Aoping also looked at the time and found that it was almost nine o'clock. The judges on the rostrum were basically seated!

"it is good!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded and moved towards his position in the middle.

"Xuemin, what are you talking about? You seem quite engrossed in the conversation."

Liu Xinwu lent a hand and welcomed Cheng Xuemin over, then asked, "It must be your six award-winning articles that shocked him, right?"
