Chapter 347: August Crisis!
It's not like a gathering in the future, just choose a big hotel.
Not to mention whether there are so many private hotels, and even if there are, there are definitely none in this town.
Therefore, the meeting place of the comrades-in-arms was set at the home of a comrade-in-arms, and the money needed was also made up by everyone, and it was apportioned very evenly, only one dollar per person.
Except for pork, the rest of the dishes are grown by this comrade-in-arms, and the fish is also raised by themselves.
The wine I drank was also sorghum wine, and it didn't cost much at all.
When He Yun arrived, the table was already full of more than a dozen people.
Gao Cheng also sat in it.
"Comrade He Yun, come! Let me introduce to you, this is Yang Ronghua, who used to work in a certain anti-aircraft artillery unit, and now works in the police station in a neighboring town, and this one, his name is Zheng Guoyao, a certain radar soldier, and now he works in the grain depot, this is called ......"
Gao Cheng obviously knew everyone present, and after he introduced He Yun one by one, he solemnly introduced He Yun.
"Ahem...... Let me introduce you to the one next to me, I think everyone should have heard of him, yes! He is none other than Comrade He Yun, a great writer, who is also a retired soldier and used to be in a certain company. ”
In fact, there was no need for Gao Cheng to take the initiative to introduce, and everyone present also recognized He Yun.
After all, He Yun is now a great writer, and his deeds and his photos have appeared in the "People's Daily".
"Hello comrades! I'm He Yun, a great writer, that's just another identity for me, and I'll always be a soldier! ”
When He Yun said this, he immediately saluted everyone with a standard military salute.
"Comrade He Yun is so right! We will always be a soldier, no matter what kind of work we are doing now, what kind of identity we have, a heart to protect the country, will never change! ”
"Not bad! As soldiers, even if we are retired now, as long as the motherland is in need, we can go back to carry guns and protect the country at any time. ”
…………
Everyone here is very proud of who they once were, and even if they are retired now, a military heart will never disappear.
"I'm late! It's late! Sorry for the delay. ”
Just when everyone was excited, the appearance of a person made everyone suddenly awe-inspired.
It turned out that the person who came only had one arm, and one eyeball was removed.
Obviously, the man is definitely a combat hero.
"You are Comrade He Yun! My name is Luo Daming, and I am very happy to meet you, a great writer, speaking of which, you are the most accomplished of our retired soldiers in Yuanshui County in the past ten years. ”
The visitor smiled and stretched out his only remaining hand to He Yun.
Next to He Yun, Gao Cheng hurriedly introduced: "Comrade He Yun, this is Deputy Company Commander Luo Daming, he used to be a combat hero of a certain assault company, and when he captured a certain high ground in Laoshan, he was blown off by a shell and broke one of his arms, and his left eye was also seriously injured, so he had to take off his eyeball. After the battle, Deputy Company Commander Luo was awarded the individual second-class merit and the collective second-class merit, and now works in the Yuanshui County Disabled Persons' Federation. ”
"Hello! Hello! Deputy Company Commander Luo, you have won the award, compared to you, my achievement is not worth mentioning at all. ”
He Yun held Luo Daming's hand with both hands and said very modestly.
What he said was completely from his heart, after all, he was compared with this one, and the one in front of him was really a combat hero.
And in the following chat, He Yun found that everyone had great respect for Luo Daming.
This respect is not just on the surface, but from the bottom of the heart.
After a while, the dishes were all ready, and a former comrade-in-arms of the cooking class, a veteran who had served in the army for more than ten years, finally sat down.
He Yun learned from Gao Cheng's mouth that his name was Qin Geng, and he used to serve in a certain unit of the Air Force.
Although there are differences in the timing of retirement, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all participated in military operations against a certain country in the South.
Moreover, several even participated in the battle of Laoshan.
"Come on, come on...... Everyone raised their glasses, and as the host, I, I would like to toast all my comrades-in-arms first! Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this comrade-in-arms gathering. ”
At this time, Qin Geng took the wine glass and drank it all, and then he looked at Luo Daming again, and said with a smile: "As for this second glass of wine, I naturally have to respect Deputy Company Commander Luo." ”
After saying this, Qin Geng drank the wine in the cup again.
"This third glass of wine, I want to salute Comrade He Yun and welcome you to join us in this gathering of comrades-in-arms."
"Thank you, squad leader Qin, you are so polite." He Yun raised his wine glass, said with a smile, and immediately drank the wine in the glass.
To be honest, He Yun usually doesn't drink much, but today, although the sorghum wine is relatively high, he still drank the wine in the cup.
After two glasses of wine, He Yun suddenly felt a churning in his stomach, and his throat was spicy.
But the others did not change their faces, and chatted while eating vegetables.
In this regard, He Yun had to temporarily hold back the discomfort and pretend to chat with Gao Cheng as if nothing happened.
After some small talk, He Yun gradually learned that after everyone retired, not all of them were assigned jobs, and some of them directly returned to their household registration places, farmed to support their families, and worked in the family farm.
Despite this, no one complained.
On the contrary, they are very concerned about national affairs.
In particular, the situation on the border between the south and a certain country is always followed by newspapers and broadcasts.
No, at this gathering of comrades-in-arms, everyone quickly talked about this war from the trivial matters of life.
Soon after, everyone talked about the current situation and the former battlefield.
As a first-hand witness of that battle, He Yun couldn't interject, just like a translucent person, sitting there, listening to everyone's analysis.
Until this time, Gao Cheng, who was sitting on his right, suddenly looked over and said, "Comrade He Yun, I heard that you wrote a film that reflected the Battle of Laoshan, and it was made into a movie, right?" ”
"It's the movie "Fanghua", I saw it in the county, and it was very good and real!"
"I've also seen it, Comrade He Yun is worthy of being a great writer, and when I watched that movie, I was so excited that it seemed to bring me back to that unforgettable time."
"Liu Xin is right, I also felt this way at the time."
"Hahaha...... Although I haven't seen the movie you mentioned, I have seen another "Island Spy" written by Comrade He Yun, and you all know that my old man is a soldier for 37 years, who has killed Japanese people, fought reactionaries, and fought against the old man......
"Yes! In fact, our predecessors sacrificed too much more than us, I remember in 84 years, when I was training in Yunnan Province, I saw a lot of tombstones of the expeditionary force on the mountain, in fact, they are also heroes, heroes for national independence. ”
"Ahem...... Xu Sheng, you eat some food, let's talk about something else! ”
"That's right! Let's talk about something else. ”
…………
He Yun didn't know how he got back.
But when he woke up, he found himself lying on a mat at home.
Nearby, the fan creaked.
He Yun sat up from the mat and found that his mouth was very dry, so he hurriedly picked up a cup of herbal tea that was placed aside and took a big sip.
"He Yun, you're awake."
"Yunyan, I'...... How did I get back? Looking at Gao Yunyan who pushed the door in, He Yun immediately asked.
"Uncle drove you back from town on a tractor, as if someone had brought a message back to him." Gao Yunyan replied to He Yun, and then said, "Are you still thirsty?" Do you want me to pour you another cup of tea? ”
"No need! Let's go down first! He Yun shook his head and walked downstairs.
At this gathering of comrades-in-arms, although He Yun came back drunk, he gained a lot.
In addition to getting to know quite a few people, the most important thing is that he suddenly figured out something.
He realized that some of his previous ideas were wrong.
Originally, he thought that the current taboo for the Kuomintang was an absolute taboo, but in fact, his thinking was wrong.
Before the reform and opening up, the Guo Party was naturally a "reactionary", but after the reform and opening up, especially after the death of President Chang and Xiao Chang, the positive role of the Guo Party in the anti-Japanese struggle has been gradually affirmed.
History is like this, although it may be misunderstood, but history is history, and merit and demerit are in the hearts of the people.
It cannot be completely erased, let alone wantonly whitewashed.
Only objectivity is the truth.
Of course, that's all a stretch.
Speaking back to the present, although He Yun found that many of his thoughts were wrong, he did not mean to "correct".
The reason is simple, it's not time yet.
Although the role of the Guo Party on the frontal battlefield is gradually being affirmed, it is still impossible to recognize the current "praise" of the Guo Party and the creation of literary works with the "Guo Party" as the core.
Just like two years ago, after he finished creating "Fanghua" and "Spy on the Lonely Island", he planned to create a military with the theme of "Expeditionary Force".
But later, he felt that such an idea was too advanced, so he gave up.
You must know the composition of the "Expeditionary Force", but the elite troops of the "Guo Party", you say that you use this as the theme, how can it still be published.
However, this does not mean that He Yun will give up creating this kind of theme.
In fact, He Yun never gave up.
Moreover, this gathering of comrades-in-arms gave him a hint of creative inspiration.
He remembered a very classic TV series "Ten Days of Life and Death" in later generations.
This is a TV series similar to "Garrison's Expendables" filmed in the United States.
Compared with other anti-Japanese dramas, this drama seems so real.
Of course, He Yun will not plagiarize this drama.
Plagiarism is impossible to plagiarize, and it can be used for reference.
The story may be new, but the framework of the creation will be portrayed according to standard American heroism.
This is also a new attempt by He Yun.
Not only that, but because it is a military theme again, choosing the right story background and main line is also a very important difficulty.
Unlike "Far Island Spy", the core of this military theme is not "spy warfare", but teamwork and assault adventure.
It can be said that this is an American adventurist hero.
The design of the characters in it naturally has to be dominated by our party personnel, and this is a matter of stance and cannot be changed.
However, compared with previous similar works, individual heroism will definitely not be admired, but internationalization may be a new attempt.
For example, the "Flying Tigers" pilot, or the Soviet pilot, such a character design and main line design can be considered.
Of course, the creation of this kind of work, in terms of time, will undoubtedly be very long.
On the one hand, it is difficult to collect information, and on the other hand, there are too many things to consider when writing about this kind of subject.
So, after thinking about it, He Yun decided to put the creation time next year.
The reason why it is placed next year is because next year, He Yun will graduate from Hunan Normal University, and by then, there will be more free time.
…………
The days passed, and soon, this year's college entrance examination ended.
He Yun chatted with his fifth sister He Ying for a while, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he didn't ask her how she did in the exam, judging by her appearance, she should have done okay.
A few days later, Wang Ruoyun sent a letter.
The letter contained two letters of agreement.
After reading it, He Yun felt that there was no problem, so he sent him a telegram agreeing.
At the same time, He Yun also sent the signed agreement.
By the end of July, the results of the college entrance examination came out.
The fifth sister, He Ying, scored more than 560 points in the exam.
This achievement entered the Yincheng Normal School, proper.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the acceptance letter arrived.
The moment she got the admission letter, He Ying was very happy.
Of course, the happier one is He Yun's father, He Donglei.
After all, two of the children were admitted to university, and he was the only one who was He Donglei, which was placed in the village, but it was unique.
This made him feel more faced, he walked with his head held high, and he smiled when he met people, with a "proud" face.
He Yun was naturally happy for his fifth sister, so he decided to lead He Ying to Yincheng Normal in advance, familiarize himself with the school environment, and send Gao Yunyan back to Yincheng by the way.
…………
In late August, six or seven days before the start of the Yincheng Normal School, He Yun took He Ying to Yincheng Normal School.
Along the way, Gao Yunyan, as a "senior sister", led He Ying to walk on the boulevard of the school and introduced the school to her.
He Yun walked behind, secretly thinking about another thing.
The day before coming to Yincheng, He Yun received a letter from Wang Ruoyun again.
The letter, however, brought him good news and bad news.
When the good news is good, the cooperation on the side of Baodong Toy Factory has been officially finalized.
The bad news is that after the animation "Qin Shi Mingyue: Sweeping the Six Kingdoms" could not be broadcast in China, the slow filming progress made some people in Yangcheng Times Animation Company question this animation.
These people feel that instead of focusing on their own original animation, it is better to take on more OEM animation projects and strengthen themselves.
More importantly, this kind of skepticism has made the company's top management hesitate.
After all, now, "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms" has also encountered a lot of obstacles in its creation.
The first is the light and shadow design, which is slow to achieve the original effect, and the second is that the drawing speed is too slow, resulting in the expected production time will be further extended.
The cost of this animation will inevitably increase over time, and at that point, if it can't recover its costs, the company will inevitably lose a lot of money, or even be on the verge of bankruptcy.
In fact, He Yun didn't know that the situation was even more dangerous than what Wang Ruoyun depicted in his letter.
It turned out that Yangcheng Times Animation was established by several companies together.
Now, Wang Bairong insists on pressing the "treasure" on the original animation "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweep of the Six Kingdoms", which has caused many company leaders to complain about it.
They feel that it is not possible to go on like this, and they can't just "gamble" on it.
If the cost is not recovered, the company will be in a huge economic crisis, and at that time it will regret it.
So, they began to secretly join forces, preparing to hold a meeting, intending to stop the project completely.
