1978 Synthetic Writers - Chapter 498 An Yi's Good News

In the past, when they were on the film crew, Bertolucci would have heated arguments with Jiang Xian about some of his interference.

Recently, when Jiang Xian expressed his opinions, Bertolucci seemed to be silent, and Thomas was also very respectful towards Jiang Xian.

"Jiang, you are amazing." Sakamoto Ryuichi said with sincere admiration, "How did you do it?"

After filming for this period of time, Ryuichi Sakamoto felt that Bertolucci was not an easy person to get along with.

He begged Director Bei for a long time, but it was no use. He had to say it. In the end, he said it many times, but Director Bei still complained that he was not strong enough. He NGed countless times and tortured Ryuichi Sakamoto for a long time before he achieved the effect.

It's not just Bertolucci, there's also Thomas, who is also a tough guy.

Let’s talk about the soundtrack of “The Last Emperor”.

At the beginning, Bertolucci and Thomas looked for Su Cong, who was preparing to study for a doctorate in Munich, and Maurice Jarre, who later composed the music for the movie "Ghost".

For Thomas and Bertolucci, that meant the film lost the copyright to its music.

This is such a bad deal.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!So a few people started arguing about this matter.

Finally, Ryuichi Sakamoto's agent secretly told Thomas to let Sakamoto write the book and he would give all the copyrights to them.

Ryuichi Sakamoto had indeed tried to write it before, but because of the poor equipment, he put the matter on hold for the time being.

Now that Morris has withdrawn, Su Cong has not given up this opportunity and is still writing for the movie.

In short, this incident shows how strong and opinionated Bertolucci and Thomas are.

And these two people were able to make concessions in front of Jiang Xian again and again.

This is incredible!You know, when filming first started, Bertolucci didn't even give Lu Yan any face.

Who is Lu Yan?

Mei Lanfang's adopted daughter also learned opera from her teacher. Her mother was an actress as famous as Meng Xiaodong.

Later, her mother told her that she had no talent and should stop singing because she would never be able to become a star. So Lu Yan married in the United States and gradually became a famous actress.

Even so, Bertolucci was impatient with what she said and directly retorted on the spot.

What kind of magic power does Jiang Xian have?

"Sakamoto-san."

Jiang Xian raised his glass and said, "Drink all the wine, and I will tell you the secret."

"real."

Ryuichi Sakamoto was also happy.

He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

The cup was not small, weighing more than two taels, and the strong liquor made his throat feel hot.

"hehe."

Jiang Xian smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. If you give Bertolucci a few million dollars, his attitude towards you will definitely change 180 degrees."

"A few million?"

Sakamoto Ryu was stunned for a moment, then his throat rolled and he looked at Jiang Xian in disbelief.

"Dollar."

"Nani?!"

Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn't keep calm and stood up from his seat in shock.

So cruel!

It turns out that it is fully charged!After learning the truth, Ryuichi Sakamoto sat back in his seat in frustration.

It turns out to be the power of money!

Bring money into the group!

You can't learn it, you can't learn it at all.

That day, Wang Anyi came to Jiang Xian's house with gifts, and as soon as she entered the door, she looked around for Jiang Niannian.

"Where is Zhu Lin?" Wang Anyi asked.

"Isn't this a movie shoot?" Jiang Xian said with a smile.

Zhu Lin was busy filming, so Jiang Xian, the screenwriter, had it much easier than the leading actress.

"Niannian, look who's here~"

"Call me Auntie." Jiang Xian said.

"Auntie~"

The tiny Jiang Niannian hugged Jiang Xian's thighs, hid behind Jiang Xian and called out shyly.

And the little Majesty is already a two and a half year old girl.

Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin raised their child so delicately that Wang Anyi looked at Jiang Niannian as if she were an exquisite doll.

When she lowered her eyes shyly, her eyelashes rested on her creamy cheeks like butterflies, and her light pink lips were slightly pouted. Her black hair was loosely tied into two pigtails with two bows tied at the ends. A few unruly strands of hair hung by her ears, making her porcelain-white skin look faintly pink.

She is even more adorable when she smiles. Her eyes are like crescent moons, filled with honey-like light. When she smiles, sweet ripples fill the air.

When she was in the United States, she had washed the urinal for this girl many times. In her heart, Jiang Niannian was half her daughter.

"How tall is this girl now?"

"92.5, just measured."

Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin were not short, and their family had adequate nutrition, so the little ones grew very fast. Their height of 92.5cm was definitely tall among two-and-a-half-year-old girls of that era.

"I brought it for my child."

Wang Anyi smiled generously, "I went back to Shanghai and brought back some snacks that my children like, such as White Rabbit milk candy, five-spice beans from Chenghuang Temple, butterfly cakes from the International Hotel, and Cantonese and Suzhou mooncakes from time-honored brands such as Xinghualou and Xinya. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so don't look down on them."

"Why are you so polite?" Jiang Xian looked at these things and knew that Wang Anyi had put some thought into them.

Today, Wang Anyi has also become famous in the literary world. After returning from the United States, she seemed to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians and published a large number of excellent novels. While being elected as a director of the China Writers Association, she also won the first "Lu Xun Literature Award" with her article "Xiao Bao Zhuang", which completely established her position in the literary world.

The friendships forged during that period are undoubtedly more solid than those made after becoming famous.

Wang Anyi couldn't contain her love for Jiang Niannian, so she opened her arms and hugged the girl.

"Xiao Nian Nian, his nose is like Zhu Lin, his eyes are like Zhu Lin, his mouth is like Zhu Lin, and his ears are like yours. With such good genes, this child will be a beautiful little actress when he grows up."

"What you said means that if she is good-looking she has to be an actor? It depends on what she likes to do at that time." Jiang Xian said with a smile.

In ancient times, wealthy families would place the following on display during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony: seals, scriptures of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, flowers, rouge, food and toys.

If it is a girl, then you should also add shovels, spoons, scissors, rulers, embroidery threads, and patterns.

Most families would simplify the items, only putting out a copy of the private school enlightenment textbooks "Three Character Classic" or "Thousand Character Classic", a writing brush, an abacus, and a set of sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks. For girls, they would also put out a shovel, a pair of scissors, and a ruler.

It's a new era now, so Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin modernized it a bit and put out twelve new items: books, abacus, scales, money, seals, dancing shoes, musical instruments, paint, basketball, stethoscope, building blocks, and toy guns.

Jiang Xian was thinking that she could touch money and knew how to make money. Seeing the continuous rise of "Today" in the United States, if it really became a media giant in the future, Jiang Niannian would be able to be his successor.

Zhu Lin's thoughts were not as complicated as Jiang Xian's. She just wanted Jiang Niannian to touch a musical instrument or a scale. The musical instrument represented the music industry, and the scale represented the legal industry.

In Zhu Lin's opinion, since the family conditions were not bad, it would be nice for Jiang Niannian to become a musician or a lawyer and live a stable life.

So, with the common expectation of him and Zhu Lin, the little majesty grabbed the book.

A great writer gave birth to a small writer?

Of course, Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin both understood that the so-called "Zhuazhou" was just a traditional custom, which meant nothing and had no accuracy.

How can a child’s future development be controlled simply?It’s ridiculous.

But the couple were still surprised by Jiang Niannian's choice.

Back to the room now.

"Niannian will be going to kindergarten soon, right?" Wang Anyi suddenly thought.

"Ah."

"Which kindergarten are you going to?"

What was the most popular thing in society in the 80s? Learning.

That’s right, there will never be an era when people’s enthusiasm for learning is higher than it is now.

Because everyone is learning!

When meeting someone, no matter whether you are male or female, young or old, they will not ask you what you are doing or what you have eaten, but will ask what you are studying.

This kind of inward-looking atmosphere can certainly spread from adults to children.

Therefore, preschool education has also become a focus.

In this atmosphere, and under the influence of the laws of population development, kindergartens of all sizes were built vigorously in the capital.

This was also the second peak in kindergarten construction following the large-scale establishment of kindergartens by state-owned enterprises and streets in the 1950s and 1960s.

However, these kindergartens were large but of varying quality, and as a result, many of them went bankrupt in the 90s.

Especially the "58-style" street kindergarten.

This type of kindergarten has indeed nurtured a generation, but as a product of that era, these kindergartens located in the streets and alleys are destined to be eliminated. After all, they are small in size, and the profits they generate and the number of students they can accommodate are extremely limited.

The life and death of these small kindergartens are not of great significance and will not have any huge impact on the future.

But choosing is a difficult problem, you have to choose one that the whole family can like.

Fortunately, someone helped him solve this problem.

"Her grandfather arranged it all for her every year."

Jiang Xian said: "Her grandfather is a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology. He can arrange for her to go to the faculty kindergarten of Beijing Institute of Technology."

When it comes to children's education, if you have a family member in the industry to help, it will save you a lot of trouble.

"An Yi, what's the matter with you coming here this time?" Jiang Xian asked.

"What's wrong? Can't I come to the temple if I have nothing to do?" Wang Anyi asked back.

"."

I remember that she was so anxious that she almost cried at the food window in the cafeteria because she couldn’t exchange her steamed bun tickets for rice tickets.

Now he's obviously become more generous.

"I came to see Nian Nian and congratulate you."

"Congratulations?"

Wang Anyi gave him a strange look, "Don't you know yet?"

"what's up?"

Jiang Xian looked puzzled. "Recently, my mind has been full of the movie "The Last Emperor" directed by an Italian director. I haven't paid attention to other news."

"Harmful."

"Editor-in-Chief of People's Literature"

Jiang Xian slapped his forehead.

He was so busy making money for Today Pictures that he almost forgot about his own affairs in China.

Wang Meng, the former editor-in-chief of People's Literature, took over as head of the literature department.

The main candidates being debated are Liu Xinwu and Jiang Xian.

As for Liu Xinwu, he has several representative works including "Class Teacher" and "Bell and Drum Tower", and he has great influence in the literary world.

Some time ago, he also wrote two reportages, "The May 19th Long Shot" and "The Tilted Football Field", which caused a sensation across the country.

Jiang Xian also has many representative works and is an idol writer admired by countless young writers. He also holds an important position in the China Writers Association.

But compared with Liu Xinwu, Jiang Xian's article is much more controversial.

However, there are quite a number of veteran "seniors" in the literary world who do not like him very much.

Who of these two people will take on this important task?The Chinese Writers Association discussed the issue for several months and was wavering, so much so that Jiang Xian had even forgotten about it.
