After chatting with Xie Daoyuan for a long time, Lin Chaoyang returned home after receiving news that the library department was preparing to recruit correspondence students.

"Why are you here?" He returned home, and before he could share the news with Tao Yushu, he saw Chen Jiangong sitting at home.

"Jiangong came to invite you to watch the rehearsal." Tao Yushu answered the question for Chen Jiangong.

Some time ago, "Beautiful Love" premiered on the YSU campus. It received praise from many teachers and students, and even attracted other universities to imitate it. Less than a month later, Chen Jiangong's "Conscience" was burdened with a lot of responsibility.

pressure.

He was already a well-known amateur writer before he entered the Chinese Department of Grade 77. He has been writing non-stop since he entered the school. He published several works in more than a year and a half. Even the school magazine praised him before.

The reputation is greater than before.

He wrote plays after Li Chun. If he didn't do a decent job, he would inevitably be ridiculed in private and tried to imitate him.

The rehearsals for "Conscience" had just started in the past two days, and Chen Jiangong wanted to invite Lin Chaoyang to come over and review the details.

Lin Chaoyang didn't want to waste energy on a student drama, but Tao Yushu didn't think so. She advised: "Don't you happen to be helping us write scripts recently? Come over and see us as an exchange of experiences."

Chen Jiangong asked in surprise: "Write a script? What script should you write?"

Tao Yushu explained: "Our school also plans to produce a drama. Chaoyang has a very good idea, and I have been trying to see if it can be written recently."

"That requires good communication."

After dinner in the evening, Lin Chaoyang and his wife followed Chen Jiangong to the auditorium of the office building. Because of the success of "Beautiful Love" and its influence in Yenching universities, Yenching University is very supportive of students' independent dramas.

The absolute protagonist of the drama "Conscience" is a blind old man who avenges his daughter SF, and the actors are still from the "Beautiful Love" gang.

Li Tong, grade 77 of the Chinese Department, plays the blind old man, Liu Zhida plays the hypocritical XF director, Huang Beijia plays the eldest daughter, and Wang Xiaoping plays the younger sister.

When Lin Chaoyang came to the auditorium, they were already rehearsing. Almost all of them had experienced "Beautiful Love". Even amateur actors were experienced amateur actors and walked on stage in a decent manner.

"Don't tell me, these guys are really good at acting." Tao Yushu commented in a low voice, "Especially the 'blind old man', he seems to have done it for granted."

Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "Li Tong would probably go crazy with joy if he knew you said that to him."

"Conscience" is a one-act play, and the rehearsal did not take long. Several people on the stage rehearsed once and then took a break. Lin Chaoyang told Li Tong Tao Yushu's evaluation. As expected, he was so happy that he almost jumped up on the stage.

"Comrade Yushu has such a keen eye. I am a long-time theater fan of Renyi. I can recite the lines of "Teahouse" with my eyes closed."

As he said this, he was going to show everyone a classic line from "Wang Lifa", which made some people go crazy.

"Li Tong really has some talent as an actor."

After enjoying his performance, Li Tong was ecstatic with Tao Yushu's comment, "Bo Le! Bole! Comrade Yushu is indeed the most discerning lady in our Yanda University."

Since Lin Chaoyang became famous, thoughtful people have attached their discerning comments to Tao Yushu. Whenever people talk about Lin Chaoyang, they always mention Tao Yushu, who had known him since he was young.

Chen Jiangong smiled bitterly and said: "Yushu, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, this kid will have to drop out of school and go to the theater."

"I want to go to Renyi as well." Li Tong rushed to say.

Everyone present laughed.

The student drama represents amateurism, as well as enthusiasm based entirely on hobbies and interests. In one night, the actors on the stage walked through the play several times, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely.

Chen Jiangong and Lin Chaoyang are known as screenwriters, but the advice they can give everyone is amateurish, and they come entirely based on their feelings.

After rehearsing for two days, everyone performed decently, but Lin Chaoyang always felt that it was a bit awkward.

After getting off the stage, Wang Xiaoping wiped his sweat and said: "Chaoyang, you can't ask us to be professional actors. I think it's very good to arrange it like this."

Lin Chaoyang said: "Xiaoping, you must have a spirit of striving for excellence. "Beautiful Love" is a masterpiece. If you are too bad, it will be a shame."

When he said this, Wang Xiaoping and other actors were fine, but Chen Jiangong felt a lot of pressure and frowned and muttered.

Returning home in the evening, Lin Chaoyang continued writing his script.

Tao Yushu is right about one thing. The creation of drama scripts indeed requires communication and the collision of inspiration on the stage.

Even better than Lao She, Mr. Cao Yu, after writing the first draft of the script, hired actors to stand on the stage and polish the script over and over again before finally finalizing it, let alone an amateur screenwriter with little drama creation experience.

The recent frequent trips to the auditorium made Lin Chaoyang quickly find the feeling of writing scripts. Although it was already nine o'clock when he got home every night, he would still spare more than an hour to write scripts.

From a purely textual perspective, the amount of creation of a drama is smaller than that of most novels.

With a reference for future generations, Lin Chaoyang was very efficient when he entered the state. In just one week, more than half of the script was written.

During the rehearsal that night, Chen Jiangong asked: "Chaoyang, what's your script like?"

"Just half written."

"Let me read it after you finish writing it."

"You have time to pay more attention to your script."

"You look down on people, don't you? Let me tell you, I write scripts, and they all have inheritance."

Lin Chaoyang sneered, "You need to change your bragging habit. It's okay now, but when you get older, it will easily leak."

Chen Jiangong closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he understood what he meant. He was indignant at his ridicule.

"Just wait, I'll let you see it in two days!"

"What did you see?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Chen Jiangong did not answer, looking mysterious.

That evening, Lin Chaoyang had dinner at home and was about to go to the auditorium. He was blocked by Wu Zuxiang downstairs.

"Chaoyang, I see you are very busy these days!"

"Yes, the students from the Chinese Department have created a play, and I'm going to help."

After exchanging some pleasantries, the old man pulled Lin Chaoyang aside and said, "I heard that your book "Garlands Under the Mountains" is very popular. It would be a pity not to publish it."

Lin Chaoyang probably guessed the reason why the old man took the initiative to find him. It's not easy for the master!

"yes."

"Um... do you still need a preface?"

"Well...it shouldn't be necessary."

Wu Zuxiang was a little surprised, "The publishing house is helping to recruit people? That will cause trouble to others!"

Wu Zuxiang asked the publishing house to help him find someone to write the preface. Lin Chaoyang didn't bother to correct him, "It's a little troublesome, but I won't be in trouble anymore."

Seeing that he could no longer make money on retouching fees, the old man couldn't help but feel regretful.

At this time, Lin Chaoyang asked: "You haven't smoked recently, have you?"

"Yes, why not..." As the old man spoke, he reached into his pocket and took out his cigarette case to prove it to Lin Chaoyang.

"There's more, forget it."

Lin Chaoyang was about to leave, but the old man grabbed him and said, "Don't say half-hearted words. What can I do for you? You're welcome."

"It's nothing, I'm just reading novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties recently, and there are some things I don't understand, and I want you to help me clarify them."

Later generations will know Wu Zuxiang mostly because of "Dream of Red Mansions", but in fact the old man's achievements are far more than that.

He was famous for his novels and essays in his early years, and was well-known in the literary world for his distinctive realism style. His works such as "Eighteen Hundred Dangs", "Peace in the World", and "Fanjiapu" are inescapable works for many scholars when studying modern and contemporary Chinese literature.

As early as the 1930s, he co-founded the magazine "Novelist" with Zhang Tianyi and other left-wing writers. In 1938, as one of the founders of the National Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemy, he co-drafted with Mr. Lao She the "National Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemy".

"Declaration of the Enemy Association" and served as a permanent director of the association.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in addition to serving as professor of the Chinese Department of Yanjing University, he also held many titles, the most inconspicuous of which was deputy director of the Yanjing Municipal Cultural Association.

At the same time, he has also made profound achievements in the academic field. He can be regarded as an academic leader in the study of ancient literary history, especially the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, Wu Zuxiang looked thoughtful and became reserved, "You are teaching alone."

Looking at the old man's expression, an animation flashed through Lin Chaoyang's mind.

Need to pay more.JPG.

Seeing the old man's attitude of sitting on the ground and raising the price, Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give you a lesson later."

"No, no, no!"

Wu Zuxiang quickly stopped him. If Lin Chaoyang really went to attend the lecture, he wouldn't be able to catch a hair. He might as well light up a cigarette.

"From now on, I can sit at home when I have time in the evening, or smoke downstairs."

He preached and taught well, but the old man acted like he was soliciting customers on the street.

"Then I will give you a cigarette as a tribute for the next month." Lin Chaoyang said proactively.

"A little less, maybe two."

"There are two too many, and I don't have enough money."

"I am also a professor in the Chinese Department after all. Do you want to join the Yanjing Literary and Art Association? I will get you in."

"You are using your power for personal gain."

"Hey, that's wrong! Excellent young writers like you are the targets of our organization's active development."

The two got together and muttered for a while, and finally reached an agreement. From now on, Lin Chaoyang would hire Wu Zuxiang as a human version of "Xiao Ai Classmate" (in the field of Chinese literature) for one and a half cigarettes per month.

The agreement between the two people was a bit of a joke, but Lin Chaoyang really wanted to ask Wu Zuxiang for advice. Although he could always come into contact with many knowledgeable people at Yanda, there was no one dedicated to answer questions when the people were changing.

.

"From the first day I met you, I thought you were a good candidate for studying literature. Now that I see it, it is indeed true. With such a talent and such an eagerness to learn, you will definitely become something big in the future."

The old man didn't forget to provide some emotional value to Lin Chaoyang before he went upstairs.

A master is a master, and he has a really accurate eye for judging people!
