Chapter 1 The Parallel World of Chinese
The half-meter-high green wall paint, the inferior yellow fake flowers are inserted in the white vase, and the dilapidated Panda tape recorder on the table is opened, and you can vaguely see the cassette tape printed with Cui Jian's head inside, which seems to be in the style of the 90s of the last century......
What the hell is going on? Soul Travel?
But this is not the Earth, but another parallel time and space......
Su Huai looked at the glass window opposite, and his reflection was not his fat and bloated appearance, but a thin and upright young man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Huai touched his face in disbelief, and said softly...... This handsome, bright-eyed and bright-toothed male god embryo is...... Yourself?
While his heart shook violently, he recalled the memories before the time travel, and the last picture was...... At the job fair, the interviewer looked at him strangely:
"Your name is Su Huai? I have interviewed thousands of people, but I have never seen so many certificates and awards...... Go amateur 3 dan, guqin level 5, erhu level 3, 11th place in the martial arts project of the National Junior High School Games, and 7th place in the collection of martial arts scripts of the city TV station...... Nickname...... You are still a master of the Department of Chinese...... Are you kidding me?"
"How come? These are junior certificates, and they don't deserve to be bragged about, right?"
The interviewer looked at him in surprise for a long time before he knocked on the recruitment poster and said:
"Student, you are not mistaken, we are only recruiting librarians...... A multi-talented person like you... You should go to a more developed unit, right?"
The people next to him were also discussing: "Alas, it's a good Chinese master's degree...... What do you do with this kind of pension ......?"
"Yes, this person is really a fool to take so many talent certificates, but they are all beginners, and they can't make money......"
He has become accustomed to this kind of doubt, others think he is stupid, but he thinks others are strange, why does everyone ask him to work hard?
Master of Chinese, why can't you be a librarian?
Isn't it true that people study hard just to live a leisurely and happy life?
He has always felt that the great task of shedding blood and tears and building the country has been completed by the glorious ancestors, and our generation is enjoying the fruits of happiness......
He took so many certificates, never to make money, but just to have fun, and to do it when he found it interesting.
As a librarian, he usually works to sort out the books he loves, and in his spare time, he can enjoy food, music, good books, and good plays, which is a good life.
He doesn't like the kind of life in a big city and working hard......
Wait, it's all normal so far...... How did he end up crossing?
Su Huai tried hard to recall, but he only remembered that after applying for the position of librarian, he was in a good mood, and in order to celebrate, he helped his friends drink a lot of wine, as if he climbed onto the roof of the classroom and went crazy, and sang "Drunken Fist" on the railing......
At last...... yes, damn ......! He seemed to have stumbled and fallen, and then he remembered that his vision was reversed......
Thinking back to the last moment before he crossed over, Su Huai couldn't help but feel annoyed.
It's sad~!This ending is too sad!
He had just found his best life, but he was dead...... Life is full of joy and sorrow, it's really too fast!
"Okay, you're the last group, are you all right!?"
A urging made Su Huai's thinking return to the present, not to be sentimental for now, now ...... Where the hell did he travel to?
As soon as my mind moved, information about the world in front of me kept coming out.
The world he lives in is a parallel time and space of the earth, probably at the level of science and technology in the 90s of the 20th century, and the historical celebrities, countries, and cultures are very similar to the earth, but they are completely different.
To put it simply, the biggest difference between this world and the earth is that hundreds of years ago, this world experienced a catastrophe and the Eurasian continent was completely submerged......
After the tide receded, the countries of the world united to form the United Nations, and all national languages were unified, while the international language was not English, but Chinese.
The tragedy is that the cultural celebrities of other nation-states are still there, but most of the Chinese cultural history is related to the catastrophe.
"Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" have only one or two chapters left, and the most complete "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has only been handed down for the last three times, and there are no Chinese historical dramas in film and television works, let alone Jin Yong's martial arts.
In such a fanatical era of poetry, even Tang and Song poems have only been handed down with a few fragments...... It is completely incomparable to the thousands of waka songs that have been passed down in Japan.
What is even more absurd is that Japan and Korea, which have better preserved their cultures, openly claim that Chinese characters, traditional Chinese medicine, poetry, Go, tea art, music, Buddhism and other cultures were all invented by them.
They slandered the Huaxia people as an ancient grassland people, barbarians on horseback, and the Chinese character culture they learned was influenced by their culture......
In their textbooks, they described Tang Zong and Song Zu as Genghis Khan, like Nurhachi, as the leaders of the steppe peoples, and believed that the Chinese regime was a primitive nomadic civilization......
What the hell ......?
Dragon Boat Festival, Confucian culture is your Korean origin?
Is it a fucking Japanese custom to write poems?
Go is also the quintessence of your North Korea?
The Great Wall was actually built by you, Japan and North Korea to resist the ...... of our southern barbarians going north?
Hey, you're so shameless, aren't you......
I can't bear it, why have you crossed over, how can you still be so shameless?
Wait a minute...... Don't be angry, what is he doing here?
Su Huai hurriedly cheered up and sorted out his thoughts, by the way, remembered...... This is Huaxia Jinling TV Group, and he is an intern talent affiliated to Jinshi Channel 11 - Poetry and Quyi Channel.
The so-called "talent" is the degree name of the world's cultural people, and all screenwriters, poetry, writing, composers, and various cultural and creative talents can be rated as "talented", and the degree certificate issued by UNESCO.
Similar to the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees on the original earth, the degree of talent is graded from high to low, A, B, C, D, and level 4.
And he, an internship talent, is actually an eliminated student who failed the assessment and couldn't get a degree after graduating from the course, which is worse than the last "D-level talent".
At this moment, dozens of production crews of all sizes in their channel are completing a special task -- at the 30th anniversary meeting of the Taishan Poetry Society, they will adapt 10 ancient poems and become the most popular poetry and music songs today, and perform joint singing performances.
Due to the temporary request of the Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the time was tight, and the senior management of Jinling Satellite TV was also forced to have no choice but to let the production teams of all channels stay and work overtime, first adapt the poems into lyrics, and then send them to the music department to compose music.
This kind of formalist song has rigid requirements for lyrics, and the melody is secondary, so the process in the station has always been to produce the words first, and then match the song.
In order to put pressure on these production teams, the leaders of the station turned this overtime into an assessment form, requiring each production team to come up with an original work for review before 8:30 in the evening.
If you can't get it, or if you don't pass the review of the leaders of the poetry association, you will be deducted from the performance points of the production team this month.
At the end of the day, the other groups have already completed the submission of their works, leaving only their seventh production team to survive to the end and have not been able to hand in their works for a long time.
"Isn't the last group ready yet?"
In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn, among the five people on the stage, four of them were consultants of the Chinese Poetry Association, and sitting at the end was Xu Tao, deputy director of Jinshi.
Just now when they were waiting, they were all talking about the seventh production team of 11 stations.
Xu Tao apologized to the people of the Poetry Association:
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, this seventh group, the performance has been at the bottom for three months, and if the performance is deducted again, the whole group will be eliminated from the last place, so this time they have dragged it out until now, wasting your time......"
Lin Hai, the oldest consultant of the Poetry Association, said with a smile:
"Director Xu, your seventh production team is a big name, everyone says that if it weren't for the old director protecting his baby son Su Huai, this group would have been eliminated a long time ago, but the old director has passed away for a month, right? ”
The last one said: "Let's discuss the shortlisted works, some of the lyrics submitted in this batch are very good, especially the first group of Chen Yang, who adapted the Japanese female poet Takeuchi's "Tibetan Flower Song" ......"
Lin Hai nodded in agreement, and praised Xu Tao with a smile: "Indeed, this Chen Yang can make 'good flowers drift away in an instant, and only hate emptiness in this life." The lyrics of 'changing to' The color will also recede, and in the long spring rain, I will also spend this life in leisure~', which is indeed quite charming...... Director Xu, you Jinshi is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. ”
"Consultant Lin, you're too awarded. Xu Tao was modest, but his expression was a little proud.
In recent years, the Taishan Poetry Society, the Chinese team has been at the bottom every year, but fortunately, in recent years, this kind of ancient poems adapted into vernacular lyrics of poetry and songs, popular all over the world, Chinese talents in the poetry of vernacular lyrics, not lost to Japan and North Korea, but also to support the only face of the Chinese literary world.
At this time, Su Huai and the people from the seventh production team had already come in, and everyone in the Poetry Association did not look at their side, as if they did not exist, only Xu Tao stopped and said to them:
"Have you made the word?"
At this moment, the person who was the leader of the group stepped forward with an embarrassed face, and said with a weak heart:
"Only half of the ...... written"
This middle-aged genius who is a head shorter than Su Huai, named Gao Jin, because of his short stature, everyone gave him the nickname "Old Short".
"Half is half, read it first. Xu Tao rubbed his eyebrows and said impatiently.
If they could, they all wanted to eliminate this group directly, but if they didn't work, they couldn't...... It's a waste of everyone's time to have to hold on.
At this time, the two young people next to the old dwarf stood up, swaying the fan in their hands with a girlish spirit, and beating the beat, both of them are intern talents in the seventh group, and they are the students of the old dwarf.
"The poem I adapted was Abemaro's "Hometown Song", and the old man coughed dryly, cleared his throat and read aloud:
"The fish gently pushes the door of the aquatic plants, but I bury my love in the water, and the sky is raining, don't think about it when you leave......"
The leaders above all frowned slightly, and at the same time, Su Huai was a little uncomfortable listening to it.
I don't know if the poem "Hometown Song" is badly written, or the lyrics of Lao Xiao have been changed poorly.
The wording, structure, and mood are all very poor, and they don't rhyme at all.
However, Su Huai thought about it, and it was not surprising that this kind of proposition composition was actually very difficult.
In this time and space, the Japanese and Korean poets are famous for their five-character and seven-character poems, while China is backward because of its backward cultural heritage, although the whole people love to sing poetry, but the talents are only good at vernacular hazy poetry, and the comprehension and use of literary language are far less than the skills of Japanese talents.
It is extremely difficult to turn such a short poem into lyrics and tell a story and emotion.
Even in his time and space, there are few lyricists who have the ability to change ancient poems into vernacular lyrics, not to mention the old dwarf and others who have lost the influence of Chinese heritage.
As the chief reviewer this time, Lin Hai listened to the lyrics of the old man, frowned and looked at the poet Xieren, and several people had a thought in their hearts, this broken level is really worthy of being the bottom group......
"Alright, it's time to stop. Lin Hai, who had gray hair, waved his hand impatiently:
"Put the lyrics list here, and you're ready to go. ”
Xu Tao also waved his hand angrily and asked them to stop, this broken group really disgraced their golden face.
Seeing that several leaders were full of disgust, they almost drove people away, and the old man was also anxious, took a step forward, and pleaded with Xu Tao with a bitter face:
"Director Xu, just let me finish reading, this is the ...... created by our group all day long"
There is also a reason why the old dwarf is anxious.
Since the death of the old director, in the past three months, the ratings of their seventh production group have plummeted, and according to the regulations of the station, the production team that has been ranked at the end of the ratings for three months will be eliminated from the last position and directly dismissed...
These talented people with degrees are fine, but the other colleagues in the group have to support their families, and they lose their jobs in the TV station, how can they live?
This assessment is just an ordinary performance assessment for other groups, but for their seventh production team, it is a matter of life and death.
Xu Tao glanced at him and snorted: "You know now that you are panicking, what did you do before, what about you Qiu Producers? Why did she go? Why didn't she attend such an important review today?"
The old man was speechless, and he didn't know why Producer Qiu didn't come today.
"Okay, don't interfere with our work here, get out, we'll review your lyrics. Lin Hai waved his hand, becoming more and more impatient.
was humiliated in front of others, and the members of the seventh production team secretly sighed "it's over" in their hearts, thinking that they were about to lose their jobs, and several female clerks who had just given birth had red eyes and tears falling down
As the pillar of the seventh group, the old dwarf was in a hurry, no, he couldn't let the production team be disbanded like this......
As the leader of the talented group, the old man gritted his teeth, and let go, went up and knelt on the ground, looked at Xu Tao and said fiercely:
"Director Xu, please give us a chance...... If you don't pass our work, I won't be up today! We are all veteran employees who have been in Taiwan for more than 10 years, you can't leave us alone!"
Several judges were stunned by this sudden scene, Xu Tao reacted, pointed at the old man on the ground angrily, and shouted angrily:
"What are you messing around!?Don't you hurry up~!"
"If you don't pass, I won't get up today!" The old man gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground with a resolute face, and several staff members hurriedly went up to pull it, but they couldn't pull up the arrogant old dwarf.
In the fierce quarrel of everyone, Su Huai stood silently on the side, feeling very glad that he had crossed into this strange parallel world.
OK...... The official language of this world is Chinese, if it is Spanish...... I'm afraid he won't be able to live.
Thinking of this, Su Huai smiled without self-deprecation.
His abrupt smile made the people who were arguing fiercely turn their heads to look at him.
"Su Huai!?What are you laughing at~!?" Xu Tao glared at him angrily, thinking that this loser had taken the opportunity to see the joke.
"I'm not laughing at anyone, I'm just in a good mood. Su Huai was originally leisurely and not good at being sophisticated, and when he was suddenly asked, he was stunned by the sudden question, so he directly said what he thought in his heart.
As soon as he said this, the faces of the old dwarf and the others turned green, and they almost vomited blood on the spot, and our group was about to be withdrawn! You still said leisurely "You're in a good mood"!?
In the face of everyone's angry eyes, Su Huai knew that he had said the wrong thing, and thought to himself for such a trivial matter, why do you have to be so angry? Wouldn't it be good to solve it, so he said to Xu Tao:
"Director Xu, I remember that the Taili stipulates that the deadline for this review is half past eight, and now it's only 8:25, we should still have time to continue to create other candidate works, right?"
