Chapter 13: The Stars Shine
…
Since 1978, Wang has published novels everywhere.
In the past ten years, he has published more than a dozen influential novels one after another, and has a wide network in the cultural circles of Kyoto.
Ma Weidu has been an editor of "Youth Literature" magazine for ten years, and has a wider network in the cultural circles of Kyoto, such as Wang Yu, Liu Zhenyun, Liang Zuo, Wei Ren, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Su Tong, Haiyan and other heavyweight writers in later generations, and even Taishan Beidou in the cultural or screenwriting circles, all of whom Ma Weidu met when he was an editor.
With Wang Yu and Ma Wei both helping Li Qing, Li Qing really took a lot of detours in the process of publishing "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water".
The novels published in the early nineties are very different from the later generations when the Internet was developed, and it can even be said that the two are not comparable!
In later generations, I wrote a novel, but I really couldn't find a suitable place to publish it, and it could be listed on the Internet, which could also be regarded as published.
In the early 90s, there was a saying in the publishing house that the lowest editor would first take a machine gun to make a sudden attack on the submitted novels and articles, and then hand them over to the team leader after the sudden attack, and the team leader would shoot them one by one with a rifle, and after the shooting, they would be handed over to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief would shoot them one by one with a pistol, and finally the rest could be published.
Therefore, the difficulty of publishing novels in this era is unimaginable to later generations.
If there is no escort for Wang Yu and Ma Weidu, even if Li Qing is open, he may not be able to break to the end, and it is very likely that he will be suddenly attacked in the audition stage.
Because of the relationship between Wang Yu and Ma Weidu, "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water" were directly handed over to the two editors-in-chief of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and "Youth Literature" respectively.
"Literature and Art of the People's Liberation Army" is a comprehensive publishing house where many top leaders of the state have inscribed titles and names for the society, or have published important works and important works in the society, and is an important military publishing base.
"Youth Literature" was the most desirable position for all young writers to publish at this time - the "People's Literature" publishing house at this time was controlled by the older generation of writers, and it can be said that it was even more difficult for young people to publish articles there.
But—
Although Wang Yu and Ma Wei both escorted Li Qing, the publication of "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water" was not all smooth sailing.
Because the second half of "Bright Sword" wrote a lot of things after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was originally killed by "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" - in fact, it cannot be said that he was killed by "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art", but the editor-in-chief of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" hopes that Li Qing will only publish the first half, that is, like the "Bright Sword" TV series in the previous life, until the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The reason why "Donkey Gets Water" did not go well was because many writers of the older generation couldn't accept Li Qing's ruthless sarcasm and whipping of intellectuals, and they couldn't accept Li Qing's sympathy for Zhang Yiman, a slut, so they set up a lot of obstacles for Li Qing.
Afterward.
Li Qing published the first half of "Bright Sword" to "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" for serialization.
The second half was only allowed to be published after the first half became popular, and the leaders of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" repeatedly discussed and studied it.
For "Donkey Gets Water", Li Qing changed it again and again, and in the end, it was very different from the original "Donkey Gets Water", which coincided with the fire of "Bright Sword", and "Donkey Gets Water" was published in "Youth Literature".
To Li Qing's gratification, both "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water" aroused widespread attention and discussion from all walks of life once they were published -- in 1992 alone, to be more precise, in the remaining three months of 1992 alone, "Bright Sword" was printed seven times. "Donkey Gets Water" became the most talked about short story in 1992, and Zhang Yiman and her "persuasion" still caused a wide range of heated discussions even if it was more than 20 years ahead of schedule.
Li Qing entered the Kyoto cultural circle with "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water", and really entered the core of Wang Yu's circle.
By the way, the reason why Wang Yu and Ma Wei left no stone unturned to escort Li Qing and brought Li Qing into the core of their circle was not only because their relationship with Li Qing was really good, but also because they were very optimistic about the two novels "Bright Sword" and "Donkey Gets Water" written by Li Qing, especially the former.
……
Turn the clock back to the end of June.
Because Li Qing gave Ma Weidu a good idea to make money by filming a TV series, and because Li Qing will be the soundtrack of the TV series "Seahorse Cabaret", Li Qing became one of the chief planners of "Seahorse Cabaret".
Honestly –
If it is an ordinary TV series, even if it is "BJ People in New York", a TV series that can be recorded in the history of Chinese G TV dramas, Li Qing will not actively participate in the production - after all, this is someone else's TV series, no matter how much effort he makes, the money will not go into his own pocket.
But for the production of "Seahorse Cabaret", Li Qing was very active.
It can be said that in addition to making albums and revising "Donkey Gets Water", as well as eating and sleeping, Li Qing is almost all soaked in the crew of "Seahorse Cabaret".
It can even be said that except for Ma Weidu, Li Qing is the most active person!
The reason why Li Qing is so active is not because Li Qing is so responsible, nor because of how good the TV series "Seahorse Cabaret" is, not because Li Qing wants to help Ma Weidu make money, but because the lineup of the total TV series "Seahorse Cabaret" is too large.
Needless to say, Wang Yu, Haiyan, Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan, Liang Zuo, Su Tong, Yu Hua and countless other G heavyweight writers in later generations, and even Taishan Beidou in the cultural or screenwriting circles have contributed to the script of "Seahorse Cabaret".
Just talk about actors, Liu Bin, Chen Xiaoyi, Liang Tian, Ge Wei, Zhang Guoli, Wang Zhiwen, Huang Lei, Xu Fan, Qu Ying, Li Lingyu, Jiang Kun, Zang Tianshuo, Wang Zhifei, Ni Dahong, Liu Peiqi, Yingda, etc., and many other celebrities in later generations have all participated in "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall"!
Yu Wei, the cross talk master of later generations, played a gangster in "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall" - not derogatory to say that the current Yu Li is also a little dragon on call.
(A word of complaint, they all say that Brother Wei looks like Jin Yiri, that's because I haven't watched "Seahorse Cabaret", and Brother Wei when he was young looked the same as the three fat classmates.) )
The first two parts of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" starred "Da Zeng" Li Chengru and "Yang Zhen" Ding Zhicheng, one played a small supporting role in it, and the other played a small security guard.
"Qi Tongwei" Xu Mujun in "In the Name of the People" plays a little Wenqing with only a few lines.
"Xu Pingqiu" in "Residual Sin" plays a ruffian in it.
It can be said that "Seahorse Cabaret" is star-studded, blinding the eyes of countless future generations!
For Li Qing, who wants to ride a horse in the entertainment industry, how could he miss this opportunity to expand his network?
Therefore, Li Qing naturally wants to spend more time in the crew of "Seahorse Cabaret"!
