Back to 80: My Literary Life

At this time, Fang Minghua and Stephen Chow had not yet reached the dining hall.

As soon as they entered the gate of Yan University, students surrounded them and asked for autographs.

Fortunately, the school security staff escorted them. They walked and stopped and finally arrived at their destination - the dining hall.

The dining hall of Yan University is the Centennial Memorial Lecture Hall in later generations. However, it is now 1993 and the memorial lecture hall has not been built yet.

But this place is not entirely used for eating. Since the 1950s and 1960s, the "dining hall" has been one of the places where movies are shown on the campus of Yan University.

When Fang Minghua and his team arrived, they saw that the dining hall was full of audiences, of course not all students, but also reporters and film critics invited by the roadshow team, such as Tang Jiaren, editor-in-chief of "Popular Movies".

According to the arrangement of the premiere, the host first briefly described the plot of the movie, and then entered the screening session. The plots such as answering reporters' questions and interacting with the audience were put after the movie ended.

Fang Minghua and the film creation team watched the first part of "A Chinese Odyssey" - "Panlight Treasure Box" with the audience.

He watched it carefully, recalling the movie that was shown in history.

The plot and plot are basically the same. After all, it is the same script, the same director, and the same starring role, but some plot details are different.

In order to reproduce the classic in his mind, although it has nothing to do with Xiying this time, Fang Minghua still asked the famous composer Zhao Jiping to compose the famous opening song "Reed Marsh" for "A Chinese Odyssey".

Of course, this time, Zhao Jiping still looked down on the script and still did not sign his name on the script. He also threatened that if it was not for the face of his friends, he would never write a song for this broken script!

But all this is over. When the familiar Dongxiao music sounded, Fang Minghua felt inexplicably cordial.

The upper and lower parts were played in succession, and the audience laughed from time to time. After the movie was over, the whole venue suddenly became silent, but Fang Minghua still vaguely heard someone sobbing softly.

The lights were turned on.

There was warm applause in the venue.

Next, the creative team stood together at the front desk and began to talk about their own feelings and mental journeys and some interesting things they had encountered during the filming process.

Of course, Fang Minghua was no exception. She talked about her scriptwriting process, and her motivation mainly came from the reinterpretation and humorous treatment of the classic work "Journey to the West".

"Ten years ago, I wrote a book "The Legend of Wukong", which was also the same."

Then there were questions from reporters and interactions with the audience.

The reporters were all invited by the roadshow team, so they naturally wouldn't ask any overly sharp questions, but as students of Yanda, they wouldn't be so polite.

As the proud children of the proud children of heaven, they have their pride.

How about Stephen Chow? How about Fang Minghua?

Those who don't like it will still spray it in person!

Just at the beginning, a thin boy wearing glasses raised his hand high, and after getting the host's consent, he immediately ran onto the temporary stage.

Holding the microphone, he said directly to Fang Minghua: "Minghua, I like literary works, whether novels, essays or even scripts, but forgive me for being frank. After watching the movie today, let alone the actors' acting skills, I was very disappointed with the script alone."

As soon as the boy said this, the audience in the audience immediately whispered.

After watching this movie, of course, some people like it and some don't.

The main thing I don't like is the plot of this movie, which is a bit brain-burning and hard to understand.

But as the author of the script, Fang Minghua is a famous writer in China after all, and it still takes a certain amount of courage to criticize him in person.

"Please speak." Fang Minghua had a faint smile on his face.

"Minghua, I really can't understand how a writer who won the Mao Dun Literature Prize could write such a work! The frivolous language and disordered structure are simply incomprehensible! Is "Journey to the West", one of the four great masterpieces of China, being blasphemed in this way?! I'm not just talking about the script of "A Chinese Odyssey", but also the "Wukong Biography" you wrote ten years ago!"

After the boy finished speaking, the people on the stage looked at each other, and there was an uproar below the stage.

Zhang Xu, who was sitting in the middle watching a movie with his girlfriend, laughed all of a sudden.

So cool!

So cool to scold!

This is exactly what he wanted to say.

Originally, he wanted to question her, but he thought that his girlfriend was a loyal reader of Fang Minghua. It didn't matter if he offended Fang Minghua, but it would be a big trouble if he annoyed his girlfriend!

Just bear it.

Now someone is venting his anger for him, he is so happy!

Zhang Xu was so happy in his heart

"Zhang Xu, what are you laughing at?!" Zhang Xu turned his head and saw Liang Ling staring at him with an unhappy face.

"No, nothing, the movie is good." Zhang Xu hurriedly evaded.

"Huh, I know, you are happy to see Teacher Minghua being criticized, right?" The girlfriend was angry.

"No, no, absolutely not!" Zhang Xu firmly denied.

"Let me tell you, that classmate is wrong! He didn't understand the movie at all, he said nonsense!"

Ouch

You understand it?

What did you understand?

But Zhang Xu definitely couldn't say this to complain about his girlfriend.

"I think he didn't understand it, don't worry, let's listen to how Teacher Minghua explains it." Zhang Xu said.

The young couple muttered in the audience, which naturally would not affect what happened on the stage.

After the boy finished speaking, everyone looked at how Fang Minghua explained.

Fang Minghua was certainly prepared for the situation in front of him.

When he wrote the script of "Westward Journey" and promised his wife to come to the road show, he expected this day to happen.

However, the boy in front of me seems to be speaking a little too hastily?

Fang Minghua was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a girl in the audience shout loudly: "This classmate, you don't understand this movie at all!"

Fang Minghua looked up and saw a very delicate girl with a ponytail, maybe a little excited, her face flushed.

It is Zhang Xu’s girlfriend, Liang Ling.

"Female classmate, what do you think the boy just now did wrong?" The host took the opportunity to draw everyone's attention to the girl: "Can you please come up and say something? Please give way to the classmate next to you. A classmate came over."

Ever since, Zhang Xu watched his girlfriend excitedly run to the stage.

When Liang Ling came on the stage, the host smiled and said: This classmate, can you briefly introduce yourself? "

Liang Ling was not afraid of the stage. She picked up the microphone and said: "Teacher Minghua, Mr. Zhou, the creative staff of "Westward Journey" and fellow students, hello everyone, my name is Liang Ling, I am a student of the 90th class of the Department of History. I think this movie The filming is very good, whether it is the plot, lines, or the performance of the actors, especially the plot and lines, I personally think that the writing is very excellent and classic! ”

There was a burst of boos from the audience.

This guy is obviously a loyal reader of Fang Minghua.

Isn't this how flattering is?

But Liang Ling seemed very serious: "When watching this movie, please don't pay attention to those nonsensical words. Through these happy words, I think it is actually telling a sad love story."

"Later I suddenly realized that it was not a pure love story, but actually about life!"

"Oh, why do you say that?" The host played the role of praise in a timely manner.

"Life is about constant dislocations! Look at the life of Zhizunbao: the whole story is full of dislocations——

When he was the Supreme Treasure, he had no power to save his wife;

When Zixia loved him, he only loved his wife Bai Jingjing 500 years later;

When he began to love Zixia, Zixia had already left him and was trapped by the Bull Demon King;

Only when he regained his mana and had the ability to save Zixia, there was no illusion that he loved her and she loved him, but they lost the right to love each other. "

"Actually, this is life." This is life, the cruelty of life, which is everywhere in real life.

You love someone, but he doesn't love you; someone loves you, but you don't love him.

When you and he fall in love at the same time, you can't help but hurt each other.

The emotions in the world flow between love, family affection, and friendship in such a dislocated manner.

Sometimes, I can't help but fantasize, hoping that time can go back and everything can be revised.

However, time cannot be repeated. Even if you can start over, facing the same people and the same place, you will still be like the Supreme Treasure, changing all the endings just because of Zixia's tear, and you can't go back to the past. "

On the stage, Liang Ling talked eloquently, but the audience was silent.
