On the morning of May 15, 1999, Chen Beiming was invited to attend the Central Symposium on Literary and Art Work.
The conference was attended by nearly 100 people, and the lineup was very large.
The meeting was attended by writers, including Yang Xiaosheng, chairman of the Writers' Association; Famous figures and leaders in the opera industry, music industry, dance industry, art industry, as well as film and television industry.
The first item on the agenda of the meeting was the President's statement.
The chairman looked around and said with a smile: "Today, there are many young and young people here, including respected old writers and artists, as well as up-and-coming literary and artistic talents, some comrades have been familiar with each other in the past, and some are meeting for the first time. It's a pleasure to meet everyone.
Literary and artistic undertakings are important undertakings of the party and the people, and the literary and artistic front is an important front of the party and the people. For a long time, the vast number of literary and artistic workers have devoted themselves to literary and artistic creation, performance, research, and dissemination, worked hard in their respective fields, served the people, and achieved remarkable results and made important contributions. With the joint efforts of everyone, China's literary and artistic garden has blossomed and yielded fruitful results, showing a vivid scene of prosperity and development. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you and extend my sincere greetings to the literary and art workers across the country! ”
Bang bang bang.
Everyone applauded enthusiastically.
The President's statement continued.
The Chair made a presentation on creation, direction, efficiency, tradition, and responsibility.
After he finished speaking, the representatives of each field continued to speak, Yang Xiaosheng for literature, the dean of the School of Music of Capital University for music, and Chen Beiming for film and television.
"Hello everyone! It is a great pleasure to be here with all the leaders and colleagues. Today, I would like to talk about some of my experiences in the inheritance and innovation of excellent traditional culture from my own artistic experience. ”
Yang Xiaosheng spoke first.
The regular meeting is over, and finally there is free time to speak.
The chairman smiled and said: "Everyone here is the cultural elite of our Xia country, and they are all representatives of the most advanced culture of Xia country, so the responsibility on everyone's shoulders is heavy. Through the discussion we just discussed, we already know the direction of our efforts, so the main task of everyone next is to take action, work hard to create, and strive to come up with more works like Koyama's "The Old Man and the Sea". ”
Speaking of "The Old Man and the Sea", the chairman suddenly became interested, and the conversation box opened: "Speaking of "The Old Man and the Sea", I will tell you a little story, when I visited the Americas a few days ago, a local friend told me, your Xia Kingdom is really amazing, I was very happy when I heard this sentence, I asked him, I said why do you feel this way, he said because you wrote "The Old Man and the Sea". Comrades, as you can see, many times the evaluation of us by international friends often starts with a literary and artistic work. In the past two years, there have been many topics in the international community about our Xia Kingdom, why? In fact, the reason is very simple, because in the past two years, we have had one or two movies that have been released around the world every year. ”
The chairman gave Chen Beiming a high evaluation, and finally concluded: "At present, there is a lack of quantity and quality in our Xia Kingdom's literary and artistic creation, and there is a lack of peak on the plateau, there are problems of plagiarism and imitation, uniformity, and the problems of mechanized production and fast food consumption. In this regard, everyone must stand up bravely and shoulder their responsibilities. ”
After the chairman finished speaking, Chen Beiming immediately answered: "Chairman, all of us here are willing to shoulder this responsibility, but in reality, there are some problems that make our creations constrained. ”
Swish!
Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Beiming in unison.
This guy is too bold, isn't he?
Is it appropriate to say such a thing now?
However, Chen Beiming didn't care, but still said bluntly: "Chairman, your speech just now is deafening, let us find the direction of creation at once, you said very well, our creation should always represent the most advanced culture of mankind, this point, we are willing to do, and we can also strive to do the best, but Chairman, in order to create the best works, in addition to the hard work of our literary and artistic workers, an excellent cultural system is also indispensable." As far as the problems I am currently encountering are concerned, I feel that our film and television management system is somewhat out of step with the times. The state has upheld an open and inclusive attitude in the management of literary and musical works, but it is still too strict in the management of film and television works! Chairman, the audience of film and television works is actually wider than literature and music, and the influence of film and television Chairman must have personally felt it from the incident of "Black Hawk Down", so how can we stimulate the creative potential of film and television staff, I think it is imperative to reform the current film and television censorship system and establish a grading system with the socialist characteristics of Xia Guo. ”
Chen Beiming immediately elaborated on the classification system and the corresponding classification experience on the earth, and then introduced the excellent film and television development experience of the United States, South Korea and other countries.
His speech is full of theories, measures, guidance and prevention, and is all the summary and crystallization of the earth's experience, so it is very complete and quite operable.
As soon as he said those things, everyone present was moved, and even the chairman changed his opinion of Chen Beiming again.
"Xiaoshan said these things are very inspiring, Comrade Xiao Yinghan, these suggestions and opinions, I think you can think deeply and study them, there is a sentence Xiaoshan is right, since you want to create the world's most advanced culture, then you must have the world's most advanced cultural system, throughout history, no matter what era, the best culture and cultural system must also be the most tolerant and inclusive, the current censorship system is really a bit too harsh, not in line with the development of the times. We want to become a world-class power, and since we want to become a first-class power, we must have the mentality of a great power. ”
As soon as the chairman's words fell, Chen Beiming immediately applauded.
His comment just now has actually defined the reform of the grading system, that is, this thing should indeed be changed.
Just get moving.
Bang bang bang.
He applauded enthusiastically.
The others also reacted and hurriedly applauded.
Chen Beiming's remarks can win the support of the chairman, and when others see it, they are also emboldened.
Yang Xiaosheng said: "Chairman, after listening to your comments just now, I also have a little feeling that I don't vomit or feel unhappy. In terms of quantity, we have produced a lot of literary creations over the years, millions of words of work are produced every year, but what about the quality? In this whole year, not a single single work that can reach the level of Xiaoshan's "The Old Man and the Sea", not to mention "The Old Man and the Sea", has not appeared in two-thirds of the works that can reach such a height, why? I think the main reason is that the creative passion of our writers has not been stimulated, everyone has a good salary to ensure income in drought and flood, and even if I don't write a word, I can live a good life. ”
