Chapter 181

~11 min read 2,175 words

In Wei Ming's impression, Zhang Mingmin's singing method was relatively old-fashioned, so Wei Ming also took great pains to choose songs for him.

"Dream Camel Bell" is by Fei Yuqing, with extremely high popularity. "North Wind" is by the Korean singer Zhang Haozhe in Taiwan. I believe Zhang Mingmin should be able to handle it.

Later, he chose Li Shuquan's "Every Time I Want to Call Your Name" and Zhou Zhiping's "The Matter of That Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon." Although they are about love, the singing method is also relatively traditional, and love songs have a wide audience, so he added them.

Wei Ming was completely out of consideration for Zhang Mingmin's musical style, but he didn't expect A Min to think so much, and even began to consider hinting at A Ming's emotional state in the letter.

As for his current emotional situation.

Still in the state of heartbreak, waiting for love.

The two sisters were very good to him, and they really did things for him, but they didn't show any meaning of love between men and women.

Wei Ming was talking to Gong Xue on the phone at this time. She told Wei Ming that those comics had passed the review of the publishing house, and they could be published as long as they had enough volume for a comic book.

"Xuejie, do you know? My brother ran to two publishing houses, and people didn't publish them. Sure enough, you have face. Thank you, and thank Aunt for me."

"My mother actually doesn't have much decision-making power. It's mainly because your story is well written and the comics are well drawn," Gong Xue also revealed, "Mr. Zhang Leping said it was good after seeing it."

"Is it the old Mr. Zhang Leping who drew 'Sanmao'?"

"Yes."

Turning back to tell A Long, Wei Ming felt that he could be very happy.

Without delay, Wei Ming ran to the Film Academy to find Liu Rulong and told him this good news.

Next, A Long needs to lead his team to continue creating. This "Heroes Born in Troubled Times" can probably draw four or five comic books, enough to earn thousands of yuan.

Drawing comics also requires a script. It is not suitable to use novels or movie scripts directly. This time, Wei Ming also brought them the text script for the first book.

However, Wei Ming hoped that A Long could independently complete the subsequent scripts according to his own style. His learning ability was still very fast.

After leaving the Film Academy, Wei Ming went to the Beijing Library to borrow books.

The writers' association membership certificate was still useful. He could borrow many books that ordinary readers couldn't borrow.

However, Wei Ming couldn't borrow many precious ancient books in the library. At most, he could read them in the library. Those were ancient books, and he couldn't use them for the time being.

After settling the comic book matter, several movies were on the right track. Wei Ming could focus on preparing his long novel, and even had more time to do his job at the school journal agency besides preparing for novels and exams.

This day, he and Yang Hao followed and reported on the visit and speech of the four-member Italian delegation to Peking University.

Wei Ming could still speak a few sentences of French, but he really couldn't speak Italian. Speaking of Italy, what he could think of was the football flower of Sicily.

Why is it that I am hungry and thirsty again!

During May Day, he saved a few days of leave, and was ready to visit the crew of "Herdsman."

When he finished work and returned to the dormitory, Wu Tianming came again, only him.

Wei Ming asked: "Didn't my dad come?"

Wu Tianming laughed and said: "Your father has already taken three cows to Gouzitun."

After Wu Lao found Lao Lao Lao Wei, Lao Lao Lao Wei took him to the brigade headquarters and asked him to repeat what he had just said at home.

Then Wu Tianming, in front of the cadres and villagers in the village, officially issued an invitation to the special talent Wei Jiefang in the capacity of a director of the Xi'an Er Yingchang, asking him to assist in filming the movie.

And he indicated that he wouldn't let him work for nothing.

If he could really train an obedient cow, he could save a lot of film, which would greatly reduce the cost of the movie.

Subsequently, Wei Jiefang was invited away by Wu Tianming under the envious and incredible gaze of the whole village.

Wu Lao found out that there was a dairy farm near the suburbs of Beijing, and they went straight there to find three cows that were very similar in color, size, and demeanor.

All three were cows that had just given birth not long ago and were in the lactation period.

The reason why there were three was for insurance. If one cow didn't cooperate, the other two could at least serve as substitutes.

Wu hoped to start filming in July or August, when Liu Xiaoqing would be in the gap between two plays.

Wei Jiefang also promised to help him train the cows within two months. Of course, he, the animal trainer, would also personally participate in the filming.

As for the remuneration, Lao Lao Lao Wei was very generous.

"My son said in the letter that you, Wu Lao, are a kind person. I won't set any conditions. Just give me the same treatment as the people in your crew, and the milk produced by the three cows during this period belongs to me."

So before Little Hong officially took the college entrance examination, she had fresh milk to drink every day. Lao Lao Lao Wei specially bought a second-hand bicycle and sent it to the school every day.

She couldn't drink enough by herself, and her grandmother, Cousin Yunyun, and her mother all had it to drink. Of course, they were all boiled and processed.

Wu Tianming told Wei Ming: "The cow matter is solved. Next, the Xi'an Er Yingchang will send people to accompany me to Yimeng Mountain to survey the scenery. Let's say goodbye here."

"I wish Wu Dao a smooth journey."

Wu Tianming walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time.

"Who do you want to film 'Spring of the Sheep-Herding Class'? Is it Director Xie Fei?"

Wei Ming shook his head.

Wu Tianming: "Then I understand."

He said goodbye to Wu Dao. As soon as the bus left, he saw Old Mr. Wu Zuxiang chasing after him with a stack of books.

"Wait for me, wait..." However, the bus had already gone far.

Wu Lao looked at Wei Ming and suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Are you free?"

"What's the matter?"

"Take me into the city."

"Are you treating me as a motorcycle taxi?"

Wu Zuxiang laughed: "I'm giving a lecture to others, it's not good to be late."

"Giving a lecture?"

Wei Ming remembered something from last month. This Wu Lao asked him to participate in a class to learn how to write novels.

Wei Ming thought to himself, do I still need to learn? And he was busy at that time, so he refused.

!

"Right, it's the one you think of, the Fifth Literature Lecture Institute of the Writers' Association. They called me over to give them a few lectures on Dream of the Red Chamber."

This was the first literature lecture institute restored by the Writers' Association after the buzzing. It was the later Lu Xun Academy of Literature. Like online writers, after reaching a certain height, they would also participate in learning, which was considered a necessary path for advancement.

Wei Ming didn't intend to show his talents in the Writers' Association system, so naturally he wasn't interested in participating, but he was interested in making friends.

In this day and age, it's not enough to have money when going out, you also need connections and contacts, otherwise it will be very difficult to walk.

Wei Ming laughed: "Fortunately, I bought another helmet recently. You wait for me."

Soon, Wei Ming drove the motorcycle over.

The old man didn't want to wear a helmet, feeling that it would mess up his hair, but Wei Ming insisted: "My speed is too fast, it's safer to wear it."

On the way, the two chatted about this literature lecture institute. Wei Ming asked: "Who is participating? People I know."

"You must be no stranger to Jiang Zilong, he participated."

Wei Ming was very surprised: "He has already joined the Writers' Association, and still participates in this?"

Basically, those participating in this lecture institute were potential members of the Writers' Association. Jiang Zilong had already achieved success.

Wu Zuxiang said: "It is estimated that it was stimulated by you. You two became famous one after another because of reform literature. The evaluation of "Factory Director Qiao" is still above "Duck Prophet." As a result, more than half a year has passed, and he is still spinning around in reform literature, and the influence of his works is far less than the beginning. And you, after the Duck, Donkey, Cow, Horse, and Sheep series came out, no one among the young people can compare to you."

Wu Lao's words made Wei Ming float. He also understood Jiang Zilong's mentality. It is estimated that he hoped that this study could jump out of the comfort zone and involve in a broader literary world.

"Have you heard of Jia Pingwa? The Northwest Gang." Wu Zuxiang asked again.

"Of course, I have read 'Full Moon.' That group of writers in the Northwest are all very powerful. I remember he was an editor at 'Chang'an.' He even wrote a letter to me for a manuscript last year."

Compared with Chen Zhongshi and Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa had shallower qualifications and was younger. He just became a father last year and gave birth to a daughter named Qianqian.

In order to go further on the literary road, he left his toddler daughter to come to Beijing to study. This spirit is too precious.

The popularity of the remaining writers was even lower, and they had not published articles in national literary journals. Wu Zuxiang assumed Wei Ming didn't know them, so he didn't mention them.

He said to Wei Ming: "Actually, it is right for you, Little Wei, not to participate in this lecture institute. Although you are young, your knowledge and experience are far better than this generation of new writers. How about I apply to the Writers' Association and let you give them a lecture."

The car body shook, and Wei Ming earnestly said: "Teacher Wu, let me go. What kind of rank am I to give lectures to others? Wouldn't that be a laughing stock? I sent you over this time just to make friends."

Arriving at the place where the Party School gave lectures to writers, Wei Ming's car was entrusted to the guard to look after. He helped Old Mr. Wu hold the lesson plan and entered the classroom.

Seeing these two enter, the students thought at first that it was a teaching assistant brought by Teacher Wu. However, Wei Ming was soon recognized by the female writer Ye Wenling, who had also participated in the Literature and Art Congress.

Then it was Jiang Zilong, who stood up and arched his hands: "Brother Wei."

"Hello Brother Jiang, Hello Sister Ye."

Wu Zuxiang looked at them with a smile and let them get to know each other first.

"Hello Comrade Wei Ming, my name is Gu Hua."

"Hello, I am Ye Xin."

"Hello Comrade Wei Ming, Wang Anyi from Shanghai."

"Hello, Aikebaier Mijiti, a young man of the Kazakh ethnic group from Xinjiang."

Wei Ming focused on remembering this young man from Xinjiang. He wouldn't lack a local guide when he went there in the future. It's a pity that this time it was hasty and he didn't bring a camera.

However, a dinner that was memorable could also make them deeply remember Wei Gongming.

After getting to know everyone, Wei Ming laughed: "I am here to send Professor Wu to class today, just a driver. However, I am half a host in Beijing. I will treat everyone to a meal after class. Everyone, please prepare your food stamps."

It had been a long time since he had eaten out in the city. Wei Ming was itchy again. The small restaurant he ate with Wu Tianming didn't count.

Hearing Wei Ming treat guests and treat so many people, everyone was excited and lively.

It was just that Professor Wu's face was not very good-looking. You kid, can't you wait until after class? Now who can calm down and listen to me talk about Baoyu, Chai, and Dai.

Wei Ming added: "Teacher Wu, you come too."

Wu Zuxiang: Oh, that's fine~
