Low Key Star

  Chapter 189 [189] Key figures in the revival of Han culture

   Arriving at Tianxuan Building where the headquarters of "Poetry" is located, Zhang Yang, Lin Yiran, and Zhang Hongkang had just stepped out of the elevator when a staff member spotted them and invited them to the living room. Within two minutes, Shang Wenfang arrived.

  Shang Wenfang is about fifty years old, with a clear face and a gentle manner, looking a little arrogant. Next to him was a middle-aged man who introduced him as the host of today's interview, named Fang Huanyu, with a gentle and polite demeanor.

   "I heard that you are not yet twenty years old?" Shang Wenfang asked after exchanging pleasantries.

  The front desk lady who led the way before brought tea, Zhang Yang thanked her, and then replied: "By next June, I will be 20 years old."

   Shang Wenfang nodded his head and said with emotion: "Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. It is really unimaginable. A poem like "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" was actually written by a teenage high school student! I also heard from the teacher that your writing in Xingkai is excellent? "

  Probably because of Gu Yutang, Shang Wenfang was a bit self-confident, and directly substituted himself into the position of Master Zhang Yang.

  With his qualifications here, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn’t feel that he was disrespected because of this, and to be honest, with Shang Wenfang’s status and temperament, there are not many people who can make him consider himself an elder.

   Zhang Yang said: "Teacher Gu is too praised, I really dare not take this seriously."

Shang Wenfang waved his hand and said, "Teacher seldom praises a person like this. I have read all the poems you wrote, and they are well written. At your age, there are not many people who are interested in ancient poems." , can write such poems, those of us who have dealt with words all our lives are beyond our reach."

  He said words of praise, but there was no smile on his face. He looked serious, dignified, and somewhat inexplicably out of harmony.

Zhang Hongkang is just a decoration, Lin Yiran didn't interrupt at this time, Zhang Yang was about to be modest again, but Shang Wenfang didn't give him a chance to speak, so he said again: "I see that the poems you wrote have a good rhythm, don't say that they are suitable for contemporary poetry. , even in ancient times, it is a good work. Especially the song "Long Lovesickness", since the Tang Dynasty, it is a rare military masterpiece!"

   said again: "Have you studied the rhythm of poetry?"

In order to look like a wit as much as possible, Zhang Yang did spend a lot of time studying the rhythm of poetry, but there is still a long way to go to be proficient in rhythm, so he hurriedly said: "I only have a half-knowledge of rhythm, and most of the time I rely on I feel like I didn’t pay much attention to this.”

  Shang Wenfang nodded and said: "It's good to post it with feelings! This is the reason why Lu Fangweng said that "articles are naturally made, and skillful hands can get them occasionally." "

   Zhang Yang secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

   "Are there any new works these days?"

   Zhang Yang shook his head, showing shame, "No."

Shang Wenfang showed a clear expression on his thin and serious face, nodded, then raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said apologetically: "I still have something to do here, so, call Yu to interview first... Miss Lin wants to visit Is this right? I'll let someone take you around, but there's nothing interesting here, so don't feel disappointed."

Lin Yiran wanted Zhang Yang to accompany her. Hearing what Shang Wenfang said, he took a look at Zhang Yang first. Shang Wenfang noticed it and said with a smile, "I was negligent. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. Then call Yu and take Zhang Yang with you." Hang out with Ms. Lin and interview later."

   said "Excuse me" again, and then got up to leave.

  The headquarters of "Poetry" magazine occupies two floors. Zhang Yang accompanied Lin Yiran and wandered around under the guidance of Fang Huanyu.

   There are young employees in the headquarters of "Poetry", but most of them are middle-aged. Working in this kind of place is more or less literary, and coupled with the authoritative status of "Poetry", the star halo is not easy to use.

If an ordinary singer or star came here, he might be despised by these employees. Most likely, Shang Wenfang knew that Zhang Yang was Zhang Muzhi, but this news has not been made public. "Jiangxian" is enough to make Zhang Yang overwhelm most of the people in the entire "Poetry" weekly.

  So seeing him, most of these employees were quite curious and excited, maintaining his dignity as a popular singer.

  After shopping around, the interview officially started.

Although "Poetry" is a magazine, the interviews are not just text interviews, but also video recordings. Zhang Yang was a little confused at first, but after asking, he found out that "Poetry" Weekly has its own global website and also cooperates with China Satellite TV. This interview It will be broadcast on China Satellite TV the night before the main issue, that is, on Sunday night.

"After half a year, our "Poetry" interview column finally ushered in the 32nd guest. In our lives, not only everyone, including me, can't actually understand many scholars, writers and their The works are all familiar, but for today’s guest, I think most, even the vast majority of the audience, have heard his name and know his works.”

   "Let's welcome today's interview guest, Zhang Yang."

  The two sat on two adjacent sofas. Fang Huanyu finished his opening speech facing the camera, then turned to look at Zhang Yang, "Hello, Zhang Yang."

Zhang Yang already has some experience in this kind of recording, and he also asked for advice before recording, so he knew which camera to watch at this time. He shook hands with Fang Huanyu with his right hand, as if he had just seen him, and said, "Hello , hello", and waved his left hand towards the camera, greeting the camera.

  Fang Huanyu said: "Zhang Yang came to the headquarters of "Poetry" today, how do you feel?"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I just walked around, and I was quite surprised, because in my impression, an authoritative publication like "Poetry" should be a relatively serious, even a bit solemn place, but I just saw that the atmosphere is very It's more relaxed."

  Fang Huanyu smiled and said, "This should be a compliment, right?"

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course, I like this kind of atmosphere very much."

  Fang Huanyu said: "If you are free, you are welcome to come to our place often. I believe all of us welcome you."

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I hope."

Fang Huanyu looked at his notebook and said with a smile: "I looked at the information, you will only turn 20 next summer, but you have already written many masterpieces that we are all familiar with, such as "The Immortal of Linjiang" and "Again". "Ode to Bamboo" is even a famous work that can be handed down to future generations. I think there should be many people like me who are very curious. How did you write it? Can you share anything with us?"

   Zhang Yang thought for a while and said: "I just chatted with Editor-in-Chief Shang, and he mentioned Lu You's poems, "Articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance." I personally like this kind of saying. It's not so much that I wrote any poems, but rather that they were there, I just discovered them. "

After a pause, he continued: "Taking "Linjiang Fairy" as an example, I have actually told many people, such as my parents, teachers, including Yiyi. Strictly speaking, I did not write this poem. , but a dream."

  …

This interview was recorded for more than forty minutes. After it was over, Zhang Yang noticed that Shang Wenfang came in at some time, and was sitting behind the camera waiting. When the recording was over, he got up and said, "If you don't rush to leave , Why don't you come and sit with me?"

   Zhang Yang naturally had no reason to refuse. He greeted Fang Huanyu and other staff members, and accompanied Shang Wenfang out of the interview room. On the way, he sent a message to Lin Yiran, telling her that he would have to wait a while before leaving.

  Lin still replied with an "OK" gesture.

  Zhang Yang put down his phone, and Shang Wenfang, who was walking beside him, smiled and said, "It really is a man and a woman in love."

   Zhang Yang smiled, but didn't answer.

Shang Wenfang said: "The interview is for the general public, and it's too deep. Few people are interested, and they can't understand it. Gu Qixian called you a key figure in the revival of the Han cultural circle. I really want to hear your opinion. .”

  This burden is not ordinary, Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "No, Dean Gu praised me too much."

Entering the office, Shang Wenfang asked Zhang Yang to sit down across the coffee table, and then said: "When I first heard about it, I thought so too, but after I did some research, what Gu Qixian said was a bit early, but it's not unreasonable .”

Zhang Yang had a long conversation during the interview, and his mouth was a little dry. However, there was a tea set on the coffee table, and Shang Wenfang didn't intend to make tea at all. .

  "Cultural inheritance, the focus is on the future, on young people. Although the country has been supporting traditional culture in the past two years, there are still very few people who like poetry and traditional culture, and really take action to understand and learn."

"We always talk about the invasion of Western culture, but the cultural invasion of others is not forced into the minds of young people in our country. They use cartoons, music, and movies to implant English and Western values ​​​​in every bit of the world. Deep in the minds of young people, if we want to promote traditional culture and promote the Han cultural circle, we must have something that can compete with others."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, someone told me that a young man who could write "Rolling Yangtze River and East Passing Water" could also write "Huo He", a song that I can't understand at all, but is very popular among young people. , I absolutely do not believe it. "

"But you did a good job. "East Wind Breaking", "Qingming Rain" and "Thousands of Miles Away" are also well written. I don't know how to appreciate the lyrics, but I know that young people like it... That's why I said, Gu Qixian said it early , but not without reason."

   "More importantly, you are also Zhang Muzhi, the author of best-selling martial arts novels such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

When Shang Wenfang said this, he paused for a moment, stared at Zhang Yang and said, "Frankly speaking, this is unbelievable. But in the history of China, there are even more incredible geniuses. Like Huo Qubing, when he was your age, his achievements have already You can be proud of it for two thousand years."

   Zhang Yang said with a little shame: "You are too flattering."

Shang Wenfang shook his head and said: "Although I can barely be regarded as half a literati, I don't have those sour and bureaucratic styles. I have to say that you have established your own film and television company. Although it is just an empty shelf now, it at least shows that you are with ideas."

  The so-called communication is shallow and deep, Shang Wenfang asked a bit presumptuously, Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, not knowing what he meant.

Shang Wenfang probably saw what he was thinking, and Su Rong said: "It's a bit presumptuous to ask this for the first time we meet, but although I, Shang Wenfang, am not a sage, I still know how to treat people with sincerity, don't worry, These words today will never enter the ears of a third person."

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You're worrying too much, I just haven't figured out how to answer it."

  Based on the short time we got along and what I have learned before, Shang Wenfang is a bit of a literati in some aspects, and he may not have any scheming when talking about these topics.

  But if you really tell him all your plans and ideas, it is obviously unrealistic.

   Zhang Yang's mind changed, and he simply followed his literati spirit, showing the spirit of a young man under a halo, nodded, and spoke nonsense seriously in a low and solemn tone:

"In history, our China may not always be the most powerful at the same time. Ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient Babylon, Alexander Empire, ancient Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Persian Empire... These civilizations or countries were all prosperous at one time, But after the decline, it was submerged in the dust of history, only China, after Qin and Han there was Sui and Tang, after Tang there were two Songs, and after the two Songs there were two weeks.”

"In the process of modernization, we were lagging behind. Fortunately, we caught up in time, but after all, they developed earlier than us. After World War II, the East and the West confronted each other. We did not lose, but the development of economy and culture was delayed. The economy was a little worse, and the culture The output has dropped a lot, and I have found that the direction is wrong over the years, and I want to catch up. I believe we will be able to catch up, but it will not happen overnight."

"Many people of our generation grew up on foreign language comics, foreign music, foreign movies, even foreign food, and foreign festivals, but now and in the future, children will grow up in an environment where more and more Chinese Comics, Chinese music, Chinese movies, Chinese festivals... At least this can ensure that the invasion of Western culture will not become more serious."

   "Of course, the premise is that we can do it. We can control our own textbooks, but we can't force children to be interested in what they are interested in after class. We have to start from ourselves and develop our own culture of music, film and television, and novels."

Zhang Yang's talk is all in general, and it can be seen everywhere on the Internet, but I don't know if his own achievements in novels, music, and poetry have increased his convincing and appealing, or Shang Wenfang is really worried about the country and the people to such an extent. After he finished speaking, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "You're right!"

   Shang Wenfang raised one hand, as if he wanted to say something excitedly, but he didn't know how to express it, so he paused in the air for a while, then put it down again, looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Go on."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I just think this way, and I don't have any idea how to do it. To tell you the truth, the establishment of a film and television company is indeed the idea of ​​making a martial arts TV series, but there is no money and no one, and it is still a headache. "

   "That's easy!"

  Shang Wenfang waved his hand vigorously, "I'm short of money, I have it! I'm short of people, I'll find someone for you, as long as you can make "Shooting the Condors" and "Sculpture of the Condor" well..."

   After a pause, he added: "Of course, don't lose money."
