Xu Wangqiu recited Celan's poems, in addition to liking Celan, a very important point is to talk about this issue: "I was thinking that Celan's life was very unfortunate, and the poems were full of painful responses, but when I read his poems, I could still feel hope." What about us? Yesterday we went through hardships, today we endure the hardships of life, tomorrow there will be more tribulations, we survived yesterday, we endure today, will we be crushed tomorrow? I wonder if our nation is very powerful, civilizations as old as ours, such as Egyptian, Indian, and Babylonian, have been interrupted. Only we continue our civilization, and no matter how much suffering we have experienced, we have survived. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Wangqiu's voice became excited: "How amazing our ancestors are, what qualifications do we, the descendants, have to complain about the heavens and others, and how can we not cheer up! Therefore, I think that no matter what we will experience in the future and what kind of difficulties we will have, we should not sink." Even though some people are shouting that I don't believe it, I think we should still believe in something, at least we should believe in our nation and the land under our feet!"

"Wangqiu, hearing this, it seems that we will be defeated by difficulties in the future!" Su Bai's eyes flashed, and he said firmly, "But you are right, no matter how many tribulations we face, we must not lose confidence in ourselves, the country, and the future." ”

Others felt the same way, saying: "We must believe in the indomitable efforts and the youth who will overcome death!" and "We are no worse than our ancestors, we will be stronger." "As long as we work hard, we will certainly be able to achieve the four modernizations. ”......

Xu Wangqiu heard everyone's passionate voices, looked at Su Bai, and then looked at Liu Lin and a few of them. In the midday sun, in the golden sun, their eyes are so firm, and their faces are full of youthful vitality. Xu Wangqiu suddenly remembered the words in "Juvenile China Says": "Therefore, today's responsibility is not for others, but for my youth." ”

Xu Wangqiu looked up at the sky, the blue sky was like a wash, and it was so blue that it was intoxicating. The sense of powerlessness in his heart was washed clean by this blue, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, the wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country! With these young people, who said that I can't turn things around!

Xu Wangqiu and the others continued to talk about poetry, literature, and art. At first, everyone talked together, but later it became Xu Wangqiu talking, others listening, or other people asking questions, Xu Wangqiu talking. Although the Peking University students present were admitted to Peking University after the movement, their literary concepts have not yet come out of the framework of "Bechedu" and "Revolutionary Realism and Revolutionary Romanticism". Xu Wangqiu's modernist works, like Marquez and Kafka, opened their eyes. In their eyes, Xu Wangqiu's knowledge and concepts are one level higher than their own, and they have entered another space.

The sunlight fell on Xu Wangqiu's body like rain, and it also fell on Su Bai's heart. Su Bai tilted his head to look at Xu Wangqiu, with a smile in his black eyes. At a certain moment, she turned her head to look at Zha Jianying and them, and saw that there were flames flashing in the eyes of several girls, so she couldn't help pouting, thinking to herself, what kind of eyes are these eyes?

The time soon came to 1:45, Xu Wangqiu and they had to stop talking, there was still class in the afternoon, and they had to go to class.

Cheng Jiangong did not forget the task that came over this time: "Wangqiu, our Chinese department has run a publication called "Morning", we need a manuscript, can you give us a few poems of Celan that you have translated, and then write an article about Celan, so that everyone can understand this greatest German poet after Ricker." ”

Wu Zhiliu's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "You run your own publications, is the school allowed it?"

Huang Zichen said with a smile: "Of course we do, not only we are doing it, but many universities are doing it." Like Wuhan University's "Luojia Mountain", Sun Yat-sen University's "Red Bean", Renmin University's "College Student", and Beijing Normal University's "First Voyage...... People send their magazines to other universities, and they send their magazines to other schools, and everyone exchanges and communicates with each other. ”

Wu Zhiliu asked, "Is it difficult to run such a publication?"

Huang Zichen said: "It's hard to say, it's not difficult to say." There are two main ones, one is the problem of money, printing magazines need money, these must go to the school for money. Mimeographing requires a word by word engraved wax paper, which is very boring and requires a special person to do it. The second is the issue of manuscripts, which are needed to run magazines, and where they come from is a problem. We came to meet Wangqiu today, in addition to wanting to meet him, another purpose is to make an appointment with him. ”

Wu Zhiliu nodded silently when he heard this, and did not speak again.

Huang Zichen looked at Xu Wangqiu and asked, "Wangqiu, help us write a manuscript about Celan." ”

Xu Wangqiu felt that it was a good thing for everyone to read Celan earlier: "Yes, I will give you the manuscript on Sunday." ”

Huang Zichen is the editor of "Morning", and when he heard Xu Wangqiu agree, he said excitedly: "With Celan's poems and articles, the level of our poetry special issue of "Morning" has been greatly improved. ”

After saying goodbye to Peking University students, Xu Wangqiu and the others moved the kerosene stove and pots and bowls back to the dormitory. They made an appointment with Peking University students, and everyone reunited on Sunday, when Peking University students brought food and wine, everyone sang and drank wildly, and talked about art.

Wu Zhiliu, like Chen Kaige, is a literary young man, and what he really wants to take is the Chinese Department of Peking University. After hearing that Peking University students run their own literary publications, he was very moved, and felt that other schools could run them, and Nortel could naturally do them.

Wu Zhiliu pondered about this matter all afternoon, and after dinner, after returning to the dormitory, he told Xu Wangqiu about it: "Wangqiu, let's also run a literary magazine." ”

When the other people in the dormitory heard this, they all looked at Xu Wangqiu, wanting to hear his thoughts. Although Xu Wangqiu is the youngest, he is the absolute spiritual leader in the dormitory, and everyone thinks of him as the leader.

Xu Wangqiu was not surprised to hear that Wu Zhiliu wanted to run a literary journal, Wu Zhiliu is a literary youth, it is normal to have this kind of thought, but Xu Wangqiu's most important job now is to complete the script of "Hoe Rape" and start preparing for the movie, how can he have time to play literature, he doesn't want Wu Zhiliu and them to waste time: "I have been writing the script for the past two days, and after the script is written, I will take the script to the school, and I will find a collaborator from the teacher to make the script into a movie with him." Actually, I wish you could shoot with me, but you can't do it yet, you have to study in school. I don't think you should put too much thought into other things and focus on your profession. So by the time I'm a sophomore or junior year, I'll be able to take you guys to make a movie with me. ”

Hearing that Xu Wangqiu was planning a movie, Liu Lin and the others were all shocked, the school teacher said that they would not arrange for everyone to make a movie until their senior year, but they didn't expect that Xu Wangqiu was ready to make a movie after only two weeks of school.

Xie Xiaojing knew the situation of Nortel well, and felt that Xu Wangqiu was too optimistic: "Wangqiu, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a movie, our school is so poor, it is impossible to come up with this money." ”

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "Elder Zhong gave me an idea, the problem of money should be solved." ”

Xie Xiaojing heard that Zhong Xianfei had an idea, and was speechless for a moment.

Wu Zhiliu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slowly: "Wangqiu, you are right. We are students of the film school, and film is what we rely on to survive, so we really shouldn't involve too much energy in other things, we should study hard and do a good job in professional skills, so that we can also participate in film shooting as soon as possible. ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that the debate about the language of cinema would soon unfold in the film industry, and if the group of people who advocated the study of European art cinema dominated the film industry, then history would repeat itself. Xu Wangqiu knows that he can't do those people on his own, so it is very important to let Zhang Yimou and them master the skills of genre films, so that they can become talents quickly.

Xu Wangqiu looked at Zhang Yimou and them, and showed a fox-like smile: "Although there is no way to let you participate in the shooting, you can participate in the preparation of the film and the creation of the film script." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Lin's eyes lit up one by one: "Really, that's great!", "Wangqiu, what can we do?", "Wangqiu, you hurry up and tell us, what can we do?"

Xu Wangqiu started writing "The Rape" last night, and has already written the story this afternoon. However, the script is not yet mature, and the details, characters, and many links need to be polished. Xu Wangqiu took out the script and let Liu Lin read it.

After Liu Lin and the others finished reading the script, Xu Wangqiu began to talk about the script: "Hollywood movies generally have two stories, story A and story B, story A is the surface story, that is, the storyline, and story B is hidden under A, which is the story of the character's heart, that is, the growth of the character." In Hollywood, there is a special term for B stories called character arcs.

Many Hollywood movies are about how little people become heroes, and the whole story will have several turns, at first the character is an ordinary person, when danger comes, he must resist, and in the confrontation with danger, the character grows. However, halfway through the story, the situation will take a turn for the worse, and danger will push the protagonist to a corner. At this point, the protagonist will use what he has learned before, or something to inspire him, so that the Jedi will fight back and eventually emerge victorious. The character arc is the growth of the character, the transition of the character from the state before the beginning of the story to the state at the end of the story. ”

Everyone present nodded slightly, knowing what the character arc meant. In the story of "Hoe Rape", the character arc is the growth of the male protagonist Duan Haiping, who has grown from an ordinary soldier to the most determined revolutionary.

After Zhang Yimou nodded, he immediately asked, "Do all Hollywood movies have to have character arcs?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "This is not necessarily, such as detective films, such as 007 movies, there is no obvious change before and after the protagonist." However, the vast majority of commercial films have character arcs, because the characters have changes and inner struggles, which will bring stronger resonance to the audience. The most important thing in commercial films is to resonate with the audience, and having a character arc will make us grow up with the characters, and will let us enter the hearts of the characters, so as to empathize with the characters. For commercial films, character arcs are very important. When you write a script in the future, you must pay attention to this problem, and the characters should have arcs as much as possible. ”

Zhang Yimou nodded, and the others also nodded slightly, realizing the importance of the character's arc.

Xu Wangqiu continued: "Let me tell you about the script structure of "Hoe Rape", the structure of Hollywood movies is relatively rigorous, basically three acts, and there are 15 plot points under these three acts. There are strict rules about when these 15 plot points appear, and the advantage of this is that the whole movie is kept in a good rhythm......"
