Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1191 Script

Inside the auditorium, everyone was quietly waiting for Wang Guozhen to present his work, but Wang Guozhen's face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

His mind was in disarray.

I could never come up with such verses by consciously improvising.

High judgment.

Everyone at the scene stared in surprise. Master Wang’s poetic talent was actually not as good as Li Jiankun’s?

He is currently the most popular poet in the country, worshipped by countless young people.

An extremely awkward atmosphere spread from Wang Guozhen to the surrounding areas.

A teacher from the Chinese Department of Yanyuan was very happy and said frankly that he also thought it was not a good thing for young people to admire Wang Guozhen. In his eyes, Wang Guozhen's poems lacked soul. He was happy to see such a result. Seeing the strange atmosphere at the scene, he said loudly:

"You may not know that the poet on the stage is definitely not bad. He once shone brightly in this school. If he pursues the path of literature, his achievements will not be low. Many people have actually heard his poems, but they just don't know that they were written by him, such as the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom"..."

Li Jiankun touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, but he thought he had done his best for Cha Haisheng.

In this life, Cha Haisheng is still alive and well.

During college, he worked and studied at the Longpai Knife Factory. Now he works in the political and legal department, is married, has children, and occasionally writes poetry, some of which are widely circulated.

After hearing what the teacher said, everyone was surprised and also seemed to understand.

"Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" is definitely a good poem. Anyone who can write such a poem deserves the words "brilliant talent" and is definitely professional enough. It turns out that he just didn't take the path of literary development.

It seems that Li Jiankun's poetic talent is indeed better than Wang Guozhen's.

It’s a pity, but also not a pity.

After all, his current achievements and energy are difficult to achieve by pursuing a career in literature.

On the stage, Li Jiankun stared at Wang Guozhen and asked, "Am I qualified to comment on your poetry now?"

Wang Guozhen bowed his head and said nothing. He struggled hard in his heart before he didn't walk away. He had failed today, and if he had a reputation of not being able to afford to lose, the situation would only get worse.

Li Jiankun continued, "In my opinion, poetry should be poetic and bear repeated chewing. For example, I like the line 'A raincoat and a rain hat to face life'. Every time I read it, I get different insights, and the more I read it, the more I appreciate it. Poetry can be called the crown of literature. The choice of words and ideas is very particular. It must be concise, profound, rhythmic, and suitable for chanting. These are its basic standards."

The Chinese teacher from Yanyuan who had just spoken nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Does your poem meet this standard? In modern poetry, straightforward language is a form of improvement, but improvement is for the better. It should not be an excuse to throw away the essence of poetry that has been passed down for thousands of years. So let me first state my conclusion. In my opinion, your poem is not poetry at all, but only a few aphorisms."

"That's why young people are chasing after what you wrote, because the appreciation of art is often proportional to age. Students who lack experience find it difficult to understand 'the distance is nothing but distance', 'life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves', 'shallow water is noisy, deep water is silent'... At their ignorant age, they just happen to encounter things they can understand, that's all."

"I have no objection to the existence of people like you. As long as what you write is positive and can be understood by young people, it is always a good thing. However, if you are overly praised and high-profile, there will be problems. I can tell you very clearly that you don't have to think about the Nobel Prize in Literature. The threshold is not as low as you think. If you are really awarded the prize, the whole world will laugh at you. Well, I happen to know someone from the jury of the award..."

"Stop talking, stop talking." Offstage, Wang Guozhen sat on a chair, his elbows resting on his legs, his head drooping, his hands holding his head, the ground and his feet were wet.

I was actually moved to tears.

In the literary circle, there are many people who have criticized Wang Guozhen, and some people think that his poems are not poems, but so far, no one has clarified the essence of his aphorisms?

Not to mention that the Chinese teacher at Yanyuan slapped his thigh, thinking that this statement hit the nail on the head.

Even Wang Guozhen himself began to doubt his life.

Li Jiankun had no intention of kicking the man when he was down. After today, if Wang Guozhen could still be popular, it would be his own fault. If he fell from grace, it would be his own fault. However, he was too lazy to look at this guy anymore and said calmly, "You can leave now."

Wang Guozhen was pardoned.

He immediately stood up, lowered his head, and hurried away, just like running away with his tail between his legs.

Many people at the scene were amazed. One said he was lying down, and the other said he was crying. Both of them were famous figures. How tough was the man on the stage?

Don’t mess with him. Don’t mess with him.

After dealing with personal grudges, Li Jiankun got to the point and said loudly: "I generally know the questions and concerns in the hearts of everyone gathered here today. First of all, I have to state that I don't have the ability to predict the future. Some newspapers have disclosed that I have been in the Soviet Union for the past six months. Some of my speculations are based on what I have seen and heard. I must admit that wealth and fame have brought me a lot of conveniences, so I may be able to see more clearly and for a longer period of time than ordinary people, that's all."

“How will the situation in the Soviet Union develop next?”

"According to my speculation, there is a high probability that the alliance will disintegrate and become autonomous. There are many reasons for this speculation..."

Li Jiankun spoke slowly and everyone in the auditorium listened attentively, with worries on their faces growing more intense.

After a long while, after clearly explaining his inference, Li Jiankun changed the subject and said, "But what I want to say is that even if the Soviet Union disintegrates, it will not have much impact on us."

"I just mentioned the reasons that I think will cause the disintegration of the Soviet Union. If you look at them one by one, you will know that our situation is actually very different from that of the Soviet Union. For example, in terms of daily necessities, we are not in short supply now. In fact, many commodities are unsalable. We have to thank our ancestors for laying a foundation for light industry for us, and we also have to admire the hard-working spirit of our people. No matter how poor we are, as long as we have enough food and drink, our economic foundation will not be shaken. As the lifeblood of the country, if the economy can be stabilized, a series of bad problems can be avoided. This is just one aspect."

"In short, in fact, many years ago, we have been on our own path of development. Today, it is meaningless to refer to the Soviet model. Conversely, the problems that the Soviet Union encountered are not necessarily related to us."

"I personally think that there is nothing wrong with our direction. We should slowly wade through and explore our own development path, which is definitely the most suitable path for us. I have been to many regions, and have lived in capitalist societies and constitutional monarchies. If you still have concerns, then I will tell you what I have seen and heard in these regions. In fact, every family has its own problems..."

Li Jiankun spoke slowly and the expressions of the people present gradually improved.

The lecture didn't end until the afternoon.

The three major news stories that happened in the Yanyuan Auditorium were first spread through various media in the form of broadcasts.

"According to our station, Li Jiankun was invited to attend a lecture at the Yanyuan Auditorium today. Before the lecture began, Li Jiankun publicly attacked the economist Feng XX because he was dissatisfied with the apology letter published in the newspaper earlier. He revealed that Feng XX's only grandson stayed in the United States and did not return, and that the Feng family often remitted money to him. The amount was not proportional to the Feng family's income. Li Jiankun claimed that he had evidence in his hands..."

"... Wang Guozhen, a great man, was defeated by Li Jiankun in a poetry contest in the Great Hall of Yanyuan. It is said that Li Jiankun showed his poetic talent when he was studying in Yanyuan. Li Jiankun criticized Wang Guozhen's poems today and even thought that they were not poems at all, but just a combination of aphorisms. Wang Guozhen could be said to have fled in panic..."

"… Earlier, our station had reported that Li Jiankun had spent most of his time in the Soviet Union over the past year. Today in the Yanyuan Auditorium, he himself admitted this. With his international reputation and status, he can naturally access levels that ordinary people cannot. His analysis today was very thorough and well-reasoned. He believes that the Soviet Union will eventually disintegrate, but it will not have a big impact on us…"

Public opinion is uproarious.

Li Jiankun was too busy to pay attention to it. When he got home, there were guests at home.

Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei visited together.

Li Xiaomei was originally at school. After hearing the news, she ran back and looked at Zhang Guorong and Zhou Xingchi with a fangirl expression on her face.

Zhang Guorong is handsome, and his songs are naturally good, beyond doubt.

Zhou Xingchi has already filmed a series of TVB TV series, won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 25th Golden Horse Awards and was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in "霹雳先锋". This year, he is preparing for or has already filmed "圣赌城", "赌赌", and "一本漫画之无世". He is a popular male star in the Hong Kong circle. When students studying acting see such a person, wouldn't their eyes light up?

Liu Zhenwei was a little confused.

At that time, he considered himself a screenwriter and had only directed one movie, "The Haunted Cop Shop". When Mr. Ding of Kunzhu Film and Television personally approached him, he was flattered. However, Mr. Ding said that it was Mr. Li who wanted him to make a movie.

God knows how complicated Liu Zhenwei's mood was at that time.

Both surprised and nervous.

He couldn't understand why Mr. Li, with his ability, could have named anyone else to direct the film, but chose a rookie director like him. It was said that he wanted to make his sister famous. If the film was good, it would naturally bring endless benefits. If it was not good and Mr. Li was unhappy, Liu Zhenwei felt that he was almost finished...

Before coming, Liu Zhenwei was afraid that Mr. Li's sister looked too weird and would not be popular with the audience.

Fortunately, fortunately.

It's surprisingly beautiful and full of spirit.

If there is a good script, and Mr. Li is definitely not short of money and will definitely not be stingy with his investment in this film, it may not be impossible for it to become a hit.

"Sit down, and relax."

In the main room of the north house, Li Jiankun smiled and gestured for them to sit down.

This made Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei, who were dealing with him for the first time, secretly breathe a sigh of relief. As rumored, this Mr. Li was not difficult to contact. Of course, the premise was that you didn't provoke him.

When he got ruthless, he even attacked the Rockefeller family.

From this point of view, there is probably no Chinese who is more ferocious than him.

Li Xiaomei also sat down beside them, after all, it was about her. It is worth mentioning that now someone went to the school to find her to make a movie, but she always remembered the words of her illiterate mother, "A good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has grown." Her little head raised, "Girl, I'm not willing to make a movie."

Of course, she still had some thoughts in her mind. She knew that the reason why someone came to her to make a movie during this period must be because of Er Guo. She didn't like that. She hoped that someone would ask her to make a movie just because of her, but she had to compromise now and become famous first.

Because this way she can save many years of struggle.

In the film and television industry, there is no shortage of actors with first-rate acting skills but who remain unknown. In the final analysis, the little monkey back then has grown into a graceful young lady. After weighing the pros and cons, she can only make certain compromises in this society of personal relationships.

After a brief greeting, Li Jiankun got straight to the point. He glanced at the three people and said with a smile, "I think some of the things the investor of Farewell My Concubine said last time make sense. Can you find a script like that?"

His attention was mainly on Liu Zhenwei.

In his previous life, he was the screenwriter of "A Chinese Odyssey". What if he had already finished it, and if he showed off the copy he spent several nights to finish, wouldn't it be a "duplicate"?

I believe Zhang Guorong must have discussed this with Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei.

Zhou Xingchi responded with a smile, "Ah Wei is an expert in this matter. He himself is a gold medal screenwriter."

Liu Zhenwei thought to himself, I was just counting on a good script, thinking that since you want to make a movie, you should be able to get a good script. You didn't have one, and now you're looking at me. Isn't this adding pressure to me? In the end, if I get the script and I shoot it, and it's not a good one, do I have to die to atone for it?

Liu Zhenwei scratched his head and said, "There is a script... but good scripts are hard to come by. It depends on luck."

Absolutely not! he thought.

Li Jiankun pondered for a moment and asked, "As a top screenwriter, are you interested in adapting the Four Great Classics?"

Liu Zhenwei didn't know why he asked this, so he could only answer truthfully: "Every screenwriter should be interested in adapting famous works, but not everyone dares to do it, because famous works are already widely known by people and have a very solid readership. If the adaptation is not good, it is likely to be criticized. I have not dared to dabble in it yet."

Li Jiankun paid attention to his micro-expressions, and after making sure that he was not lying, he stood up and motioned for them to wait, saying that he had a script adapted from "Journey to the West".

Liu Zhenwei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Just say it. He wanted to make a movie, so why would he need to find a script on the spur of the moment?

It is expected to be a masterpiece by a master, a rare and good script.

This suddenly gave him some confidence and ambition.

However, when Li Jiankun showed the script that he almost broke his head over to the gold medal screenwriter Liu Zhenwei, the latter was confused.

What is this?
