1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 146: 83 years, here I come!
"Summer, summer! It's published, it's published!"

Milan ran into the house excitedly and handed a magazine to Xia Tian.

I saw the cover of the book in the summer, and it was a watercolor painting I had drawn. It was a very hazy painting, and it was just a casual sketch at the time...

What Milan gave him was "Poetry Magazine", which could be said to be an official poetry magazine.

The first issue of this year published a poem by Xia Tian, ​​and even used a watercolor painting of Xia Tian as the cover!
"Mother"

How old are you

How old is mom?

She is your mother because she gave birth to you.

The painting on the cover is in warm colors, showing Mother Xia wearing an apron and kneading dough under the light.

In fact, Xia Ma only knows how to knead dough and roll out dough, and the filling will be exposed when making dumplings.
Milan always sent out the things he wrote casually, and many of them were published.

For example, this poem.

Xia Tian didn’t feel much about being published in the official Poetry Magazine—she’s been published so many times in recent years.

He just felt that he didn't "enter" more, and added a few more lines, and he lost money~
How much does a three-line poem + cover painting cost? !
The fee for modern poetry submissions is calculated per line.

What Xia Tian didn't expect was that Milan brought another magazine the next day.

"Xingxing Poetry Magazine? You submitted an application for that, too? What did you submit an application for?"

Milan turned to the page of summer works—not only did he submit one, he submitted two.

"Lonely"

Since childhood
I'm alone

Gazing at the stars of the past

Those sporadic thoughts
Merged into the Milky Way

"ocean"

Don't catch any wave

No boat ride.
I have my own sea

If Poetry Magazine is the official first poetry magazine, then Star Poetry Magazine is the earliest and most influential poetry magazine.

The style here is much looser, so...

In the afternoon, Milan: "Another one has arrived."

"what?!"

Milan: “I’m also confused. The earliest submission was three months ago. How come they were all published together all of a sudden? It’s as if they had discussed it in advance!”

This time it is "Today", the birthplace of Misty Poetry and the one with the greatest influence among the people.

Today published the summer issue of I.
——Not vague at all, that’s quite arrogant!

"I"

I

Born to be a mountain
Not a stream
I

Born to be a hero
Not a mustard
I

Desire on the top of the peaks
Looking down into the ravine of mediocrity

I

Standing on the shoulders of great men
Despise the humble coward

I am the Chosen One

Also the only
Xia Tian: This was written when I was drunk... oh so embarrassing!

"In the future, don't send everything out!" Xia Tian warned.

Milan raised her head and said, "You don't need me to tell you. I have hidden all the sensitive things you wrote! Don't worry~"

I was thinking in the summer - it seems that Milan’s “literary fortune” is quite prosperous!

How about asking her to submit Dachun's song "Shit"? !

Poetry has a very destructive effect on young people these days.

For example, two years later, Bei Dao and his colleagues were invited to participate in a poetry festival organized by Star Poetry Magazine.

On the opening day, although there were special people maintaining order, people without tickets still broke into the venue through the windows.

The enthusiasm of the conference was unimaginable today - a poet was giving a speech on the stage, and someone in the audience shouted "Long live the poet", and the whole audience responded.

A large number of listeners rushed to the podium, asking for autographs, and the pens poked Bei Dao so hard that it hurt.

One young man even took out a dagger and stabbed it into the back of his hand, saying, "I want to use my blood to show you my love for you and for poetry!"

After the poets finished their speeches, they needed police protection to leave the venue.

People were waiting in multiple channels to ask for the poet's autograph and to take photos with him.

Once, Shu Ting was unable to leave the venue at all. Several police officers held her up, and several police officers cleared the way in front of her.

When she arrived at the door of the car that was waiting for her, people shouted "Shu Ting, Shu Ting" and stretched out countless vine-like arms, almost squeezing her under the car. The police still forced her into the car.

Fanatic fans exist in every era~
Now is the gap before the disintegration of ideology and the arrival of the wave of commercialization, which creates the era of poets.

But the poet wears the wrong mask—savior, fighter, preacher, star…

In the end they will realize that they can't protect anything.

As a result, three poems were published, and this month there is also the short story "Chi Ling" in "October" and the serial "The Great Ming Disaster"!
Both novels received strong responses.

After all, "Chi Ling" takes actors as the protagonists and writes about patriotic sentiments from the perspective of grassroots individuals. There are not many works like this at this time.

Scars are popular now, or searching for roots, being avant-garde or something like that.

This short story is very novel and excellent in terms of words, story, and narrative structure (flashback). It is a very mature work. This is why it did not need much revision at the beginning.

Many people also congratulated Teacher Jinghongke, saying that he "finally returned to the right path."

As for "The Ming Dynasty Robbery", it made many people feel excited after reading it. At that time, no one was writing "historical novels"!

"The Great Ming Robbery" really strips away the underwear of the Ming Dynasty, especially the part where Sun Chuanting angrily denounces the officials and gentry.

Many people think that it is still very valuable for reference even now!

The whole novel seems to be shrouded in a layer of gloomy mist, just like the terminally ill Ming Dynasty... The scene of the end of the dynasty is heart-wrenching!

Also, in history, Wu Youxing's "Plague Theory" said "You cannot see strange air entering through the mouth and nose." That was in 1643!

In 1685, after King Charles II of England suffered a mild stroke, he was treated with bloodletting, antimony, scalding with hot copper rods, vomiting and laxatives, human bone essence and goat stomach stones, which tortured the King to death.

It was not until 1846 that Western doctors learned to wash their hands before delivering a baby...

It seems that the West is not as advanced and powerful as imagined!
……

However, this new year, January, it is definitely not just Xia Tian who is showing there, there are also many new works being published.

For example, in the first issue of the "Youth" literary series this year, there is a particularly hotly discussed and sought-after novella - "There Will Be a Blizzard Tonight", written by Liang Xiaosheng.

The work takes the return of 40 educated youth from the Great Northern Wilderness to the city as its starting point, adopts a double-line structure, combines the reality of the educated youth returning to the city with the memories of the Corps life, and focuses on the heroic feat of settling and guarding the border in a cruel natural environment...

Nowadays, young people returning to the city can be said to be a major pillar of society, so this is a perfect match for their profession!

Many people can cry watching this.

In addition to this one, the first issue of "Youth Literature" also published the short story "My Distant Qingping Bay".

The novel depicts the story of a small mountain village on the Loess Plateau and a funny cowherd...

"Youth Literature" is the magazine where Ma Dudu is the editor, and the author of this novel also found Ma Dudu.

He went to the magazine office in a wheelchair, "Editor Ma..."

"Hey! Teacher Tie Sheng, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just tell us and we can go over there!"

Ma Dudu hurried out to greet him—the wheelchair could not easily pass the threshold.

That’s right, the author of “My Distant Qingping Bay” who came to find Ma Dudu was Shi Tiesheng.

It probably doesn't need much introduction...

"Editor Ma, I'm sorry to come to your house this time because I want to ask you for a favor..."

Just like that, Ma Dudu found Xia Tian, ​​"Tian'er, this is what happened. Teacher Shi Tiesheng wants to meet you...what do you think?"

"No problem! This is a good thing." Xia Tian agreed.

Ma Dudu nodded with relief. To be honest, he thought Xia Tian would not refuse. Although he gave people the impression of being a very eccentric and different person, he was surprisingly flawless in interpersonal communication.

But no one can be sure of this kind of thing - now Teacher Jinghongke is considered a well-known writer in Yenching!

In the field of pure literature, "Chi Ling" and "The Great Ming Tribulation" which were just published in "October" are still being discussed.

October is much bigger than Youth Literature, where I work. Two articles are published in one issue!

Popular literature...Teacher Jinghongke has already taken the lead in this field!

Now the Yanjing Evening News is crushing its local counterparts, and its sales volume has exceeded single digits!
It is because of the foundation laid by the previous "Four Strange Cases of the Late Qing Dynasty" and the currently serialized "King of Legends"!
Even in the editorial department of "Youth Literature", there are several people who read it every day.

But it is said that the climax is approaching its end. I guess the editor of the Evening News is very anxious now?
There is also the "Kunlun" serialized in "Legends of Ancient and Modern Times"!
Well, that's a fire!
Look for someone in their thirties or forties, or as young as fifteen or sixteen.

If you can't find a topic to talk about at the station or in some unfamiliar place, just talk about Kunlun. There will be two or three out of ten people who have seen it and want to talk to you about it.

Last month I went on a business trip to Shandong Province. Just by reading this martial arts novel, I met four new friends on the train!
There are also nursery rhymes, music, songs, and comic strips...

If you really collect relevant information, you will know that this young man in front of you has quietly made many people look up to him.

How can the young generation of creators be like this? ! Blooming across the board?
There are also very few older generations!
Oh, and there was also the decathlon in the sports meet! The newspapers were all about it.

In summer, it's like a war of words, one person scolds ten people!

That whole month, people opened the newspaper to look for information about summer first!
Although Shi Tiesheng also published a few short articles, it can only be said that his name had just been printed in the publication. Even if Xia Tian really didn't have time and didn't want to know him, there was nothing wrong with that.

Since you have agreed, it will be easy and I can report to the authorities.

Afterwards, Ma Dudu told Xia Tian about Shi Tiesheng’s situation, his going to the countryside, his injuries, his health, etc… In short, he was physically disabled but mentally strong.

Xia Tian naturally knew all this, but he didn't interrupt.

There are countless famous writers of this generation, but among those who really moved me, Shi Tiesheng is definitely at the top...

The three of them met at Shichahai Park, which is close here.

By the way, Shi Tiesheng lived in Caochang Hutong, which was not far from the east of the Drum Tower on the north side of Nanluoguxiang.

"Hello, Comrade Shi Tiesheng. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. If I had known that your home was in Caochang Hutong, I would have visited you a long time ago!"

Xia Tian took two steps at a time, rushed forward and held Shi Tiesheng's hand.

These hands are still very strong, which is understandable...

Shi Tiesheng has a long and thin face with clear facial features, deep eyes, and a pair of thick glasses. He has gray hair and a receding hairline, and looks a little weak.

He looked a little excited. He held Xia Tian's hands with both hands and shook them. Before he could finish a sentence, he was already in tears!

"Comrade Xia Tian, ​​thank you, thank you!"

He sniffed, adjusted his mood, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "I finally meet you. Thank you for the music you composed. "Flowers in the North Sea Are Blooming" is very nice... "Yearning Across Time and Space" is also very nice."

He wiped his face with his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

When Shi Tiesheng heard the song "Flowers Bloomed in Beihai" on the radio a year ago, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When the broadcast heard the message "This song was composed by the author based on the experience of Comrade Shi Tiesheng... The flowers in Beihai are blooming, may you always be well", she burst into tears.

At that time, he wanted to get to know the author Jing Hongke, but he had no channels.

After waiting for a year, he learned that the editor of "Youth Literature" knew Jing Hongke himself. He submitted his manuscript to the editor first to get to know the editor, and then asked Ma Dudu to introduce him.
