Su Bai sat next to Xu Wangqiu, holding the latest issue of "Contemporary" magazine and slowly flipping through it. She was attracted by Yu Luojin's reportage "A Winter's Fairy Tale", Yu Luojin's sister who was sentenced to death for "On Origin". In "A Winter's Fairy Tale", she recorded her family, experiences and marriage in detail, and even boldly wrote about her extramarital affairs.

When Luo Jin went to the Great Northern Wilderness to cut the queue, due to the very difficult life, he had to marry a local farmer he didn't know. She tried to adapt herself to this marriage and wanted to live like this. However, the appearance of Zhiqing Weiying allowed her to find the long-awaited love and rekindle her hope for life. It's just that when she divorced her husband, abandoned her children, and was ready to combine with Wei Ying, Wei Ying retreated due to the resistance of her family.

Su Bai was very sympathetic to Yu Luo Jin's experience, and when she was in the countryside, she had seen a marriage like Yu Luo Jin. Some of the educated youths she knew got married locally. However, with the arrival of the tide of returning to the city, most of these people's families and marriages have broken down. She closed the book and turned her head to look at Xu Wangqiu, thinking how lucky she was to meet someone she liked and live together!

At this moment, Su Bai suddenly heard "A Cut of Plums" sung by Li Guyi. She turned her head to see a young man who looked like a college student with a radio in his hand, listening to music with a look of fascination.

After CCTV broadcast a live video of the concert, the Central People's Radio has been broadcasting songs from the concert recently. Now "One Cut Plum" has become popular all over the country and has been sung by countless people.

At this time, I heard the melodious singing on the radio, and many young people around me were humming quietly.

Su Bai especially likes "A Cut of Plums" and likes the depiction of love in the song. She reached out and poked Xu Wangqiu's arm, and said with a smile: "Wangqiu! Wangqiu!

Xu Wangqiu came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said, "With my voice, forget it." ”

Su Bai took Xu Wangqiu's hand and shook it gently: "No, I like to listen to you sing." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "I don't believe it, you must want to see me make a fool of myself." ”

Su Bai thought to herself that I obviously just wanted to hear you sing a song, but it was too much to say that! Her dark eyes rolled, showed a narrow smile, and said loudly: "Comrades, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Xu Wangqiu. The concert into the new era was planned by Xu Wangqiu, and several songs such as "One Cut Plum", "Loyal to the Country", and "Clouds of Hometown" were written by Comrade Xu Wangqiu. Meeting is fate, shall we ask Comrade Xu Wangqiu to sing us a song?"

It's the peak of reporting on the start of school, and there are more young people in the carriage. Even if they haven't seen the video of the concert, they have all heard about the concert on the radio and heard the songs of the concert. Now I heard that Xu Wangqiu was the planner of the concert and the creator of songs such as "A Cut of Plums" and "Loyal to the Country", and the whole carriage was a sensation.

Many people came around, stretched out their hands to shake hands with Xu Wangqiu, and excitedly told their inner feelings.

Xu Wangqiu glared at Su Bai, what kind of mess are you making!

The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled slightly, and he looked proud, let you say that about me, hum, you deserve it, raised her voice and said: "Comrade Xu Wangqiu is embarrassed, let's give him a little applause!"

The passengers in the carriage applauded vigorously when they heard this, and they couldn't help shouting, "Comrade Xu Wangqiu, sing us one." Xu Wangqiu couldn't shirk it, so he could only stand up and say: "The songs "A Cut Plum", "Jingzhong Serving the Country", and "Clouds of My Hometown" were indeed written by me, but my voice is not good, and my singing level is limited. I don't think it's as good as this!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Bai: "This is my lover Comrade Su Bai, she sings better than me......"

Su Bai saw Xu Wangqiu saying that he was his lover in front of so many people, his face turned red, and he smashed his fist on Xu Wangqiu's arm: "What are you talking nonsense? Who is your lover!"

Xu Wangqiu originally wanted Su Bai to sing, but seeing that Su Bai was embarrassed, he suddenly changed his mind: "My voice is not very good, my singing is not very good, Comrade Su Bai has a better voice than mine." I don't think it's as good as this, and I will sing a song "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" with Comrade Su Bai. Speaking of "Long Sunny Day", there is another story! When I went to the countryside with Su Bai to cut the queue, our educated youth point organized a literary and artistic performance, and to perform a program, Su Bai and I were arranged to sing "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" together, because we often rehearsed together, we got better. ”

Su Bai looked at Xu Wangqiu speechlessly, when did you cut the queue with me, and when did I act in the show with you?

Xu Wangqiu continued: "Su Bai and I haven't sung together for several years, and the cooperation is a little rusty, everyone forgive me!" As he spoke, he sang and said, "Ninety-nine, that sunny day, eighteen-year-old brother is sitting by the river." The east wind blows the windmill around, the broad bean flowers are fragrant, and the wheat seedlings are fresh......"

Xu Wangqiu's voice is indeed average, but it must be a little better than the passengers in the carriage, and everyone hears it with relish. When Xu Wangqiu sang "Brother is worried about Xiao Yinglian" as "Brother is worried about Xiao Subai", a stormy laughter sounded in the carriage, and many people leaned forward and fell back with laughter.

After the male part was sung, Xu Wangqiu pulled Su Bai up and asked her to sing the girl part. Su Bai had the feeling of digging a pit, but he fell into the pit, glared at Xu Wangqiu, and began to sing the girls' part: "Ninety-nine, that sunny day comes, eighteen-year-old brother wants to join the army, windmill follows the east wind, brother is worried about Xiao Yinglian, ......"

Xu Wangqiu immediately reminded: "It's not Xiao Yinglian, it's Xiao Subai." ”

The passengers in the carriage burst into laughter, thinking that this little couple was too interesting.

When "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days" was finished, the applause in the carriage was thunderous, and the passengers shouted "One more song!" So, Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai sang two more songs.

In line with the principle that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, after Xu Wangqiu sang "The Cloud of Hometown", he suggested that he should come out and sing all the songs.

Most of the young people in the carriage have the experience of cutting in line, and when they cut in line in the countryside, there is a long-term lack of cultural life, and singing is one of the few forms of entertainment. Whenever night comes, many educated youths will sit around and sing songs about missing their relatives and hometown in the moonlight. The singing level may be high or low, but basically they can sing, and they can sing a lot.

Now there are Xu Wangqiu and Su Bai at the beginning, and those who can sing in the carriage take turns to sing and sing their own best songs. The whole carriage was full of singing, full of laughter, and the boring journey was much easier because of the singing.

When the train arrived in Beiping City, Xu Wangqiu sent Su Bai back to Peking University, and then took the bus back to Zhu Xinzhuang.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Xie Xiaojing told Xu Wangqiu that Wang Lanxi asked him to go to the ministry immediately after arriving at the school, and there was something very important. Xu Wangqiu asked Xie Xiaojing what was the matter. Xie Xiaojing said that he didn't know, but he immediately added that it might be because Wang Lanxi no longer cares about Nortel's affairs, and he may have something to explain.

Only then did Xu Wangqiu know that just two days ago, the school's leading group had been abolished, Lu Meng, the former leader in charge of school management, was appointed secretary, Tang Ziqing became the dean, and Wang Lanxi was no longer in charge of Nortel's affairs. Xu Wangqiu felt that things were a little troublesome, Wang Lanxi left, Tang Ziqing became the dean, and his future life may not be as good as before.

Wang Lanxi probably also thought of this, so he let himself go to him.

Xu Wangqiu came to the door of Wang Lanxi's office, and the secretary took him directly into the office. The secretary poured water on Wang Lanxi's teacup, poured another cup for Xu Wangqiu, and then exited the office.

Wang Lanxi stared at Xu Wangqiu and said solemnly: "You kid is really good enough to cause trouble, after the live video of the concert was broadcast, the music industry was simply turned upside down, many old comrades said that you were messing around, you were promoting the sound of glamour, and even some people complained to the Propaganda Department." ”

When Xu Wangqiu heard the complaint and went to the Propaganda Department, he was startled, and couldn't help but say: "No, don't you just sing a few songs?" "Serving the Country with Loyalty", "When That Day Comes", and "Into the New Era" are all passionate and uplifting songs, how can they be glamorous sounds. Even if there are two songs about love, they are pure and beautiful, not that serious, right?"

When Wang Lanxi heard Xu Wangqiu say this, he shook his head slightly and said: "There are some things that are nothing, but others want to be involved in politics, what can you do? Other people's complaints have been reported to Comrade Zhou Yang's house in the Propaganda Department; some people are uniting and preparing to write a joint letter to the Central Committee; and some people are organizing a criticism meeting to criticize the concert. ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that Hu Qingming must be making trouble, and wanted to make himself stink by criticizing the glamorous voice, but he was not worried, he knew that there were many controversies in literary and artistic creation during this period, and it also caused some turmoil, some works were criticized, and some works were banned, but the criticism was basically confined to the field of literature and art, and there would be no political criticism.

The attitude of the central authorities is to cherish and attach importance to the hard-won stability and unity in the literary and artistic circles, and to separate criticism of works from criticism of authors. Like Bai Hua's "Bitter Love" has been criticized, but Bai Hua has not been defeated and is still creating. Hu Qingming and their desire to use the concert to stink Xu Wangqiu is contrary to the spirit of the central government, and it is impossible to succeed.

Xu Wangqiu exhaled and said: "The movement has ended, and it will not work to engage in political criticism at every turn, and the state does not advocate this." There is no problem with the concert work, and even if there is a problem, it is a minor problem. Some people want to retaliate against me in the name of criticizing the outrageous voice, but they are doomed to failure. ”

When Wang Lanxi heard Xu Wangqiu say this, he thought to himself that this kid is really not an ordinary person, ordinary people will definitely be shocked when they hear the complaint and go to Comrade Zhou Yang, but he is so calm, he can't help but say: "I called you here to tell you this, and there may be a lot of articles criticizing you and criticizing the concert in the newspaper at that time, but don't worry, it won't work to rectify people in this way." I'm relieved that you can see that. ”

Xu Wangqiu got up and bowed to Wang Lanxi and said, "Thank you, Minister Wang." ”

Wang Lanxi pressed his hand down and motioned for Xu Wangqiu to sit down: "Calling you over today, there is one more thing." How's your new film, The Falcon, getting ready?"

Xu Wangqiu nodded and said: "The preparations have been ongoing, and we were not in a hurry before, mainly waiting for the introduction of new national policies, so that we can get more budget and make the movie more exciting." Now that Document No. 13 has been issued, I have also negotiated the budget with Xiuying Studio, and the film investment will exceed 3 million. The next step is to select the actors, determine the pyrotechnic team, and the special effects team. Wait until the end of June and the beginning of July, and the film can officially start shooting. ”

Wang Lanxi nodded slightly: "Don't cooperate with Xiuying Studio in this movie." ”

Xu Wangqiu was surprised and said, "Why?"

Wang Lanxi chuckled: "Because "Falcon" was requisitioned by the China Film Export Corporation, this film will be the first work after the establishment of the export company. ”
