Chapter Forty-Nine: The Indignant Song
As an old man over fifty years old, he has experienced ups and downs all his life, and Wang doesn't know that he has taken a light look at human feelings and sophistication, and there are few things to take him to heart.
It's just that the day before yesterday at a literary seminar, Li Feiyang's ridicule and bombardment of many writers at the seminar, the kind of contempt that came out of his bones, made him linger, and when he closed his eyes, Li Feiyang's cold expression and disdainful sneer.
Wang didn't know that he was quite dissatisfied with the phenomenon of a group of people in the Writers' Association who were not doing their business now, and who held special meetings to make sycophants and mess around. It's just that there are so many writers, and the state has its own reason to raise them.
Some of the political propaganda of the lower society, the articles required by the usual newspapers and magazines, all have to rely on these writers. There was nothing wrong with them meeting to discuss the article of a deceased writer, but the mistake was that Li Feiyang was invited in.
Who is Li Feiyang? He's a well-known fanatic in the cultural world! There must be a large number of writers who have written articles to denounce him, and he himself is not interested in the entire cultural circle, if it weren't for the fact that he got along with Wang Minga few people quite happily, he would not have considered joining the writers' association at all.
When Li Feiyang first published the book, except for Wang Zhizhi and a few people who had hopes for him, the rest of the writers did not care about such a stunned boy at all, and it was not until after the publication of books such as "Red Sorghum" and "Garland Under the Mountain" that some people found out that this little guy was extraordinary, and he had a big reputation, but because of the deterioration of the relationship with him, he attacked even more.
But after Li Feiyang published "Journey to the West", a series of attacks on him who was shallow in his knowledge and rough writing came to an abrupt end.
A "Journey to the West" let the world know how profound Li Feiyang's ancient literary skills are, and those rumors that he is a shallow scholar are naturally self-defeating, this book slapped many writers in the face, making them hold their tails and turn off the fire for many days, and they no longer dare to argue with Li Feiyang on the bright side.
When Li Feiyang published "The Romance of the Gods", although some people occasionally said that there was something bad about this book, it all referred to the ideological problems in the book, and no one mentioned Li Feiyang's literary style and writing skills.
He alone can overwhelm the entire cultural circle aphasia, and his cultural heritage and writing strength have made it difficult for ordinary people to match.
Although the wood is higher than the forest, the wind will destroy it, but it has become a towering tree that can't stand people, and the wind and rain of leisure are not taken into account at all; What's more, he has a backer who is taller than a towering tree, and his two teachers, whether in politics or literature, are undoubtedly a generation of grandmasters, with such two teachers, who can move him?
Writers are also human beings, they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also know who can be offended and who cannot be provoked, and after Li Feiyang was accepted as an apprentice by Huang Shichang and Yun Yunian, no one in the entire cultural circle showed obvious hostility towards Li Feiyang.
In the past, when the Writers' Association held meetings, traveled, and had dinners, the vast majority of people opposed Li Feiyang's participation, and Li Feiyang was too lazy to get involved, only when Wang Buzhi and the old-timers of the Yellow River Stream cultural circles strongly advocated Li Feiyang's participation, Li Feiyang reluctantly participated, but he would not stay long, and rarely spoke, so that the two sides would be at peace.
However, at this cultural seminar, the relevant person in charge of the Writers' Association made it clear that Li Feiyang must be called, and from this point, it can be seen that the entire Writers' Association has changed its attitude towards Li Feiyang.
But in Wang Buzhi's opinion, the relevant person in charge of the writers' association who held the seminar this time was simply kicked in the head by a donkey, saying that if Li Feiyang was asked to participate in any literary work review group, what kind of quyi program judge or something, this would be fine, and it would be worthy of Li Feiyang's current identity, but what literary seminar did you let Li Feiyang attend and study the works of several deceased writers? What did you ask him to study?
Let a postdoc study elementary school math?
Even if you ask him to comment on his work, you would let him study the writing techniques of other people's works? I don't want to think about what Li Feiyang's identity is now? Who is eligible for Li Feiyang's work to be studied?
It's no wonder that Li Feiyang looked strange at the seminar, and finally simply made an advertisement, promoting the film he wrote and supervised to everyone at the conference.
Thinking of this, Wang Buyi took out a few movie tickets from his pocket, which were given to him by Li Feiyang at the venue.
Holding the movie ticket in his hand, Wang Buyi walked from the study to the living room, and said to his wife who was reading a book with reading glasses: "Old woman, don't read books, I invite you to watch a movie today!" ”
The wife took off her reading glasses and rolled her eyes to look at Wang Zhiyi, "Yo, what's wrong today?" Why do you suddenly want to invite me to a movie? This doesn't look like yours! ”
Wang Buzhi scolded with a smile: "You just say whether to go or not, right?" ”
The old lady put down the book and said with a smile: "Go!" ”
The king didn't know, "Isn't this the end?" Pack up and let's go now. ”
After arriving at the cinema, Wang Buzhi's wife remembered to ask Wang Bufu: "Lao Wang, what kind of movie are we watching today?" ”
Wang didn't know how to shake the movie ticket, looked at the words on it, and said: "A tear-jerking family film!" ”
My wife smiled: "Ho, you're still advertising!" ”
Wang Bubu explained: "This is not what I said, this is written on the movie ticket. As he spoke, he pointed to the movie ticket with his hand, "Look at it, it's clearly written." ”
My wife said: "You said this is a book written by Feiyang, but you didn't ask him what this movie is about?" ”
Wang Buzhi said, "Why do you ask so much?" What's the point of watching a movie if you know the whole plot in advance? ”
The old couple talked and laughed, and after queuing up to enter the cinema, looking at the expressions of the audience who walked out, Wang didn't know how to wonder: "What's wrong with these people?" Why do you have such an expression? Watching a movie, how is it like a dead father? ”
His wife tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Did you talk like that?" Beware of people hearing it, it's not over with you! ”
Wang Buzhi laughed a few times, and then stopped talking, he also felt that what he had just said was not quite right.
After the two sat down in their seats, they waited for about ten minutes for the movie to start.
After seeing the scene in the movie, Wang Buzhi smiled and said: "It turns out that the background of the story is Nanbao Island!" I'd like to see how this kid's story is arranged. ”
The wife said: "You can stop the meeting!" Feiyang, this kid has aura, and the stories he writes are very interesting, I think this time it's not bad! ”
The image of the dumb uncle in the movie is a veteran who participated in the war, because he was injured during the battle and injured his throat, so he became mute. This setting is very engaging for Wang Buzhi, who has experienced the war, and there are many veterans around him who have been wounded on the battlefield like Uncle Dumb.
Nowadays, most of these veterans live in poverty, they have families and children to take care of, and disabled veterans without families are miserable, missing arms and legs, inconvenient to move, difficult to find a partner, no one wants to find a job, and it is difficult to survive just by relying on such a small subsidy issued by the government. Many veterans are really like the dumb uncles in the movie, the government doesn't care about them, they have to find another way to live, and most of them make a living by collecting rags.
However, Kyoto's rags are generally shaken around the streets with a big rattle, which is different from the trumpet played by the dumb uncle, but it also has the same effect. Anyway, it's a musical instrument that signals to close the rags.
In this movie, the general audience sees the emotional line in the events, but what Wang doesn't know is the background of the times in the movie and the living conditions of the characters in it.
watched the song performances interspersed with the movie, Wang Buzhi whispered to his wife: "Feiyang, this kid, make a movie, and play tricks!" It's really rare to see a musical like this interspersed with songs! The song is pretty well written! ”
After one song after another, although Wang didn't know that he thought it was good, he didn't think it was better than usual. It wasn't until the end of the movie that Ami played by Yun Ting began to sing "If the Wine Sells Nothing" that Wang Bufang was moved.
The song "If the Wine Is Dry" has brought countless people to tears, but most people are moved to tears because of the sensationalism of the movie's story, and this song is just an introduction to trigger their tear ducts. If you don't have this story, just listening to this song, you just think it's good, and you won't shed tears. There is no song in this world that can make people cry when they listen to it once.
However, unlike the rest of the people, others listen to the stories in the songs, but Wang Buyi listens to the emotions in the songs. When Li Feiyang asked Yun Ting to sing this song, he repeatedly emphasized his emotions, and he must vent a feeling of resentment in the song. Rather than simply pursuing the beauty of the song itself.
Wang didn't know that what he was listening to now was this kind of extreme resentment and helplessness.
Other audiences thought that this song sang about the sadness and helplessness of Ami not being able to see her dumb uncle, but Wang Bubu felt that this song was an anger and accusation against the disabled soldiers! It is an indictment of the indifference of the national government to these heroes who participated in the war.
Assuming that if the dumb uncle has a strong government assistance, he will marry the woman he lives with and have children, and form a perfect family, even if he picks up the abandoned baby Ami later, because of the relaxed economic conditions, the women in the family will not be separated from the dumb uncle because of a child. In this way, there will be no Ami to make money to support the family, and there will be no subsequent series of tragedies.
