Chen Kaige is a student of Nortel in 1978, he is a junior this year, and he is about to be a senior, at this time he has begun to think about his future works, but unfortunately he has not found a favorite theme, until he saw this "Yellow Earth", although he has not yet started shooting, in his mind has appeared the rich and thick yellow and gorgeous red ...... of the Loess Plateau

However, he has never been to northern Shaanxi, and can only imagine from the pitiful video materials in the book, he feels that among the people he knows, it seems that only Zhang Yimou can express this color contrast.

He doesn't like Zhang Yimou, because they are not a circle at all, Chen Kaige's father is a famous domestic director, he likes to deal with people from the same background in school, he thinks they are the ones who really understand movies, and Zhang Yimou is different from these dirt buns.

Despite all his prejudices, Chen Kaige still can't ignore Zhang Yimou's talent in photography, and in order to shoot this work well, he is willing to cooperate with Zhang Yimou.

He watched "Yellow Earth" again, and remembered the first movie his father participated in, "Northern Shaanxi Pastoral" directed by Ling Zifeng, his father's first work was a movie about northern Shaanxi, and he now has a strong interest in this film about northern Shaanxi, maybe there are days in the dark!

He packed up, went out with this harvest, and went to find Zhang Yimou, Lao Zhang is from Shaanxi, maybe he can learn more about northern Shaanxi from him.

Shen Long didn't know these things for the time being, he and Jin Bo went back to Huangyuan together, had a meal at Jin Bo's house, and then returned to the residence alone, opened the door and saw that the cave was cleaned up, there was an extra book on the desk, and there was a note from Xiaoxia to him, it seemed that Xiaoxia had just arrived.

Shen Long showed a knowing smile, put down his luggage and picked up the note to read, Xiaoxia congratulated the publication of "Yellow Earth" on the note, and also told him about her enthusiastic reaction after the students of Huangyuan Normal School saw it, and expressed regret that she could not share this joy with him in the first place.

In the end, she urged Shen Long again to show her the follow-up content of "Old Well" as soon as possible, and asked for the news of the new work, telling him to go to the family home of the Huangyuan Prefectural Committee to find her as soon as possible after he came back.

Today is Monday, Xiaoxia has a few days to go on vacation, it seems that there is no way to see her immediately, Shen Long felt a little regretful, and then picked up the book that Xiaoxia gave him and read it.

It didn't take long for there to be a knock on the door outside, and the person who came was more anxious, shouting while knocking on the door, "Shaoping? It's me, Jia Bing, hurry up and open the door. ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Shen Long hurriedly got up and welcomed Jia Bing in, "Teacher Jia, how do you know that I'm back?" ”

"My lover just said that he saw a person on the street who looks like you, and he told me when he came back, I hurried over to try my luck, I didn't expect you to be there, why did you stay home for so long this time? How many days have you been in the past year before you came back? Isn't there something going on at home? Jia Bing asked with concern, he felt that as a senior in the Huangyuan literary and art circles, he had the obligation to take care of these young people.

"Thank you Mr. Jia for your concern, there is indeed something at home, but it's a good thing, my brother opened a brick factory, and I helped get it before I came back." Shen Long invited Jia Bing to sit down and prepared to boil water for him to make tea.

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, you just came back, and you're tired from the car, I'll sit down and leave." Since it's okay, Jia Bing is relieved, the place where they live is not far away, and it is convenient to come back tomorrow to talk.

Shen Long took out some jujubes brought from his bag to entertain Jia Bing, and then took out a sample journal and handed it to him, "Teacher Jia, I can publish this article thanks to your help, you can keep this book and read it slowly." ”

Jia Bing himself also ordered "Harvest", but the sample magazine he ordered was completely different from the sample journal given by the author, he happily accepted it, and asked about the progress of Shen Long's new work, Shen Long handed over the manuscript of "Old Well" to Jia Bing, Jia Bing immediately couldn't wait to read it, and forgot that Shen Long was still on the side for a while.

Shen Long was not in a hurry, he continued to pick up the book that Xiaoxia gave him and read it, and the two of them sat in the cave like this, each looking at each other, if someone suddenly came in, he would definitely be shocked when he saw this posture, but neither of them felt strange.

"What a good article!" After reading it, Jia Bing sighed, he once again confirmed that the young man in front of him is indeed talented in literature, "Although it is also a story that happened on the yellow earth, the connotation of this article is very different from the previous one, it should be closer to the times and better reflect the new changes in the countryside......

"Where are you going to contribute this time? Or "Harvest"? Jia Bing asked, if Huang Yuan could publish two "Harvests" in a short period of time, he, an old-timer in Huangyuan's literary and art circles, would also have a bright face.

"I have some confidence in the level of my article, but compared to "Harvest", I also have my own plans, the same person has appeared in "Harvest" twice in a short period of time, I'm afraid it's a bit unrealistic, even if I can be hired, it is estimated that it will take a few issues to be published, so I plan to vote for "Contemporary" this article." Shen Long replied that he still wanted to get the manuscript fee as soon as possible, and if he could send out all the four major purely literary magazines such as "Harvest", "Contemporary", "October", and "Flower City", it would be quite popular.

"Well, although the history of "Contemporary" is not as long as "Harvest", the level and influence are not much worse, so let's take the manuscript back, and tomorrow I will find someone to help you copy it, and then help you submit it." The work of copying is also quite tiring to say, and Jia Bing feels that it is better to start writing new works when he has this time.

Shen Long chatted with him again about the planning of the new work, and told Jia Bing that this time he planned to write a long story, and the name had been thought of, which was called "Loess High Sky", which will tell the story of a new generation of farmers starting a business; In later generations, there was a TV series of the same name, which was about the hard work of the next three generations of farmers and rural cadres, and there were many materials that could be borrowed.

This time the proportion of personal creation will increase, and it will also be a test of his personal ability, after carefully reading and studying so many classic works, and writing two more classics, Shen Long feels that he should be able to write well.

Of course, the difficulty of creating and rewriting by yourself is naturally different, and it is impossible to say that this article will take longer to complete and revise more times.

This leads to a problem, if he only focuses on this long article, Shen Long may not have much income in the short term, so he plans to write this article while still making other creations, and he has already planned the next one.
