Lin Chaoyang simply believed that between him and Wu Zuxiang, one was studious and paid for knowledge, while the other was forced by material resources and sought spiritual transcendence.

We are all people with pursuits, mutual benefit, and we must not look at it from a utilitarian perspective.

When he came to the auditorium at nightfall, several actors on the stage were rehearsing hard, and the number of people in the audience seemed to be much larger than usual.

"Jiangong!" Lin Chaoyang greeted Chen Jiangong and looked around. There were at least forty or fifty students in line. There were not so many people watching during rehearsals.

"There are a lot of people today. Why are so many people here?"

Chen Jiangong seemed to be particularly energetic today, "That's right, there are more people here!"

Lin Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, what do you mean? You guys are so crazy today, do you think today is the premiere?

Chen Jiangong glanced at his expression, said nothing, and moved his body so that Lin Chaoyang could look at the person sitting on the other side of him.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at his movements, not sure why.

"What are you doing?"

There was a bit of disdain in Chen Jiangong's eyes, "You have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai". Before he could speak, the old man sitting on the other side of him suddenly shouted "Stop"!

The actions of several actors on the stage suddenly froze, and they looked at the old man in the audience at a loss.

The old man shouted to Liu Zhida on the stage: "The mood is wrong, the mood is wrong. You have to understand that your character is a villain, but no one will think that he is a bad person. They all think that they have their own reasons. Do you understand the reasons?

?Why do you say your lines in such a subtle way? Are you afraid that the audience won't see that you are a bad guy?"

After he finished talking about Liu Zhida, he turned his attention to Wang Xiaoping, who played the younger sister.

"Sister, you always recite your lines so dryly, how can you impress the audience? Your lines must be powerful and layered, and don't be afraid of exaggerated expressions.

Drama is a stage art. The audience is watching you from a distance of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters. If your expression is so restrained, can they see you clearly?

Body movements should match your emotions, think about how you usually speak when you are angry, and design some small thoughts for yourself."

…

The old man was rude to the actors on the stage, which not only confused the young people on the stage, but also Lin Chaoyang in the audience.

"Who is this old man?"

Chen Jiangong pretended to be suspicious, "Look carefully, do you recognize me?"

Before Lin Chaoyang could say anything, the old man who had been standing in the audience giving instructions just now, perhaps because he felt that he was not satisfied with what he was saying, actually stepped onto the stage in three steps and started to perform.

Just now, Lin Chaoyang was sitting and could only look at the old man's profile. Now that he was on the stage, he finally saw the old man's profile clearly.

Isn’t this Second Master Qin?

Lin Chaoyang was familiar with this face on stage not only in later generations, but also in the 1970s. In the more than a year since he came to Yanjing, he and Tao Yushu had talked about going to Renyi four or five times. How could he not recognize the master of Renyi?

What about Lan Tianye?

"Hey, why did you invite him here?"

Seeing the surprise and surprise on Lin Chaoyang's face, Chen Jiangong was finally satisfied, and then said: "I told you, I write scripts, and they are all passed down!"

Lin Chaoyang ignored Chen Jiangong's sarcastic tone and asked: "What's going on? Tell me more specifically? Do you have a relationship in the arts? Or do you have a personal relationship with Lan Tianye at home?"

"None of them." Lin Chaoyang attacked Chen Jiangong when he had nothing to do. Today he invited Lan Tianye, and he finally felt proud, "It's me who has a personal relationship with him."

"You?" Lin Chaoyang's eyes looked up and down, making Chen Jiangong feel a full sense of distrust.

"How about you, you kid, you look down on others? Why don't I get to know a few celebrities?"

Lin Chaoyang nodded, "Yes, Qin Hui also has three friends!"

"You..." Chen Jiangong choked and made up his mind that he must show his holiness in front of others today.

Lan Tianye on the stage was busy directing the actors, but he didn't know that he had become Chen Jiangong's bragging rights.

It turns out that before taking the college entrance examination, Chen Jiangong had been mining coal at Muchengjian Coal Mine in West Beijing. However, at that time, he had already published several works and was an amateur author for his work unit.

In 1974, the creative team of Renyi went to the Muchengjian Coal Mine in the west of Beijing to create a media-themed drama to experience life in depth.

Knowing that there was an amateur writer like Chen Jiangong in the coal mine, and that he was very familiar with the work and life of the coal unit, Liu Houming and Lan Yinhai, who came to experience life at Renyi, invited Chen Jiangong to join their temporary creative group.

Liu Houming is a playwright and children's literature writer, Lan Yinhai was an actor before turning to screenwriting, and Chen Jiangong learned a lot from them.

After that time, Chen Jiangong, Liu Houming, and Lan Yinhai became acquainted, and then through them they met Lan Tianye and Zhu Xu of Renyi.

After hearing Chen Jiangong talk about his acquaintance with Lan Tianye, Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, I've never heard you mention it before, and people in your class don't know about it either, right?"

"Um."

Whether they are students from the Chinese Department of Class 77 or students from other departments at Yanda, every year the school organizes the opportunity to go to the People's Art Theater to watch a play, and the students themselves will buy tickets to watch the play.

In this case, no one knew that Chen Jiangong knew several famous actors in Renyi, which shows that Chen Jiangong usually keeps a low profile in the class.

Originally, Lin Chaoyang thought Chen Jiangong was quite reliable, but as he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

How dare you keep it a secret from me in the first place?

After seeing through the dissatisfaction in Lin Chaoyang's eyes, Chen Jiangong pointed his eyes at the stage with a guilty conscience, "Watch the rehearsal, watch the rehearsal!"

While the two were talking, Lan Tianye on the stage had already finished directing several amateur actors and walked off the stage.

The performance continued on the stage, and everyone did not exchange pleasantries, but continued to enjoy the rehearsal on the stage.

Lin Chaoyang noticed that after a while, the seats in the auditorium had become more and more full. It must be that everyone had heard the news about Lan Tianye's arrival.

Students at Yanda are not infatuated with movie stars, but in the past few years, drama has been booming, and everyone has great respect for drama actors, especially a group of veteran actors in Renyi.

"Teahouse", "Longxugou", "Thunderstorm"...

A large number of classic works have created a lofty status for this group of actors in the minds of students. They are called artists.

An expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.

After all, Lan Tianye has been immersed in the stage for decades. His arrival provided a lot of help to the rehearsals of "Conscience", making the student drama that originally seemed loose and loose really have the flavor of a professional theater company.

In just a few minutes on stage, he seemed to have helped a few people on the stage break a layer of window paper.

We rehearsed twice more in the evening, and the performance of several people was actually better every time.

At the end, even the students who came to watch the fun couldn't help but applaud.

Hearing everyone's applause, Chen Jiangong felt reassured and whispered to Lin Chaoyang: "It is indeed right to ask Lao Lan for help."

The rehearsal ended at nine o'clock all night. The students in the back row were still not satisfied, but they soon shifted their focus to Lan Tianye.

After the actors came off the stage, Lan Tianye greeted everyone generously. He spoke with great energy, with the unique accent of a drama actor, and his outstanding temperament, which won rounds of applause from the students in the audience.

After finally waiting for the students who were watching the fun to leave, Chen Jiangong introduced Lin Chaoyang to Lan Tianye.

"Old Lan, this is Xu Lingjun, a young writer who is very popular in the literary world this year. His real name is Lin Chaoyang."

Lan Tianye wore a pair of brown glasses and had a hearty smile. He shook hands with Lin Chaoyang and said, "Hello, Comrade Chaoyang, I have seen you for a long time!"

"You're welcome. I've admired your name for a long time. I've been to the People's Art Theater often to watch plays, and I like you Mr. Qin. It's a pity that the number of performances is too few."

Lin Chaoyang's polite words tickled Lan Tianye, and he laughed and said, "We also want to perform a few more shows, but the theater also has arrangements."

"Yes, I understand."

After a few polite words, Chen Jiangong mentioned that Lin Chaoyang is also writing drama scripts. Lan Tianye said with a smile: "This is a great thing. Having a talented young author like Comrade Chaoyang enter the field of drama creation will help our drama career."

It adds to the splendor!”

The few of them chatted for a while, but it was already a little late, so Chen Jiangong sent Lan Tianye away.

Two days later, Lin Chaoyang had just gotten off work and met Hong Zicheng at the door.

"Morning sun!"

"Brother Zicheng, what are you..."

"I came here specifically to find you." Hong Zicheng said.

"Let's go, let's go, my family said."

Lin Chaoyang took Hong Zicheng to his home and chatted for a few words. Hong Zicheng took out a book from his briefcase.

"The book I co-authored has been published, and I'll give you a copy."

When Hong Zicheng handed the book to Lin Chaoyang, his face was filled with a smile of joy and pride.

"Overview of Contemporary Literature", this is the name of the book. When Lin Chaoyang opened the book, the first thing he saw was the author's name.

Zhang Zhong, Hong Zicheng, She Shusen, Zhao Zumo, Wang Jingshou.

"This book will be used as a teaching material for the Chinese Department of Yanda University in the future. The compilation is led by Teacher Zhang Zhong. I am responsible for two chapters of poetry and short stories."

"Contemporary Literature Overview" is an academic work, and its content is mainly contemporary literature. Lin Chaoyang flipped through the catalog and found that it covered almost all the works of contemporary famous writers, but it seemed that the works were only included during the humming period.

Hong Zicheng pointed to Lin Chaoyang enthusiastically, "Turn back."

Lin Chaoyang turned to the "Postscript" at the end, and Hong Zicheng pointed out a paragraph of text to him with his hand.

"... Colleagues collaborated to compile the "Overview of Contemporary Literature." The only regret is that the development of contemporary Chinese literature after 1976 was not recorded. There may be subsequent revisions and expansions in a few years.

Before the article was typed, Hong Zicheng was very emotional when he talked about discussing the development of contemporary literature with his friends. He mentioned the term "new era literature" to summarize the development process of contemporary Chinese literature after 1976. I personally agree with it. We will discuss subsequent revisions. In the process, the literary development in recent years should be summarized under the name of "new era literature".

I also asked about the name of my friend, and it turned out to be Xu Lingjun, the most influential young writer in the past two years. I would like to express my gratitude to him..."

Lin Chaoyang read this paragraph and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you would actually use it."

Hong Zicheng said happily: "Of course. You invented this word well. It doesn't have to be a waste of natural resources. I think it will definitely be regarded as the standard in contemporary literature in the future."

"Brother Zicheng is too praised!" Lin Chaoyang said modestly.

"How can it be an overestimation? Naming 'New Era Literature' is a matter of immeasurable merit. This alone is worthy of being recorded in the history of contemporary literature."

The corners of Lin Chaoyang's mouth curled up.

Okay, okay, educated people are always so fresh and refined when they praise others.
