Chapter 9 first quarter

The first time I read Wang Shuo's novels was in the primeval forest of Jianfengling, Hainan Island. That was the filming location of the TV series "The Great Lin Mang", and I was the artist of that TV series. Because the whole story of the film takes place in the virgin forest, the work of the artist is mainly to design the actors' looks in the early stage, and I have nothing to do after the shooting starts.It was really boring, so I took the initiative to ask to cook for the whole crew. The crew assigned me two field workers, one named Aqiu and the other named Asheng.The two of them did the rest of the work, and I was only in charge of the cooking.Our residence is a scientific research station in a nature reserve, built on a clearing in the primeval forest.

Dozens of steps out of the small building is a shallow stream, through which you can enter the dark primeval forest. The cast and crew of the crew ate the meal I cooked every morning, and then plunged into the virgin forest to shoot.I just put two banana leaves on the sand by the stream, lay down and watched Aqiu Asheng Xilai, eating until it was dark. Zheng Xiaolong, the creative director of the center, led Ms. Wang Xiaoping, the editor of People's Literature, to visit the crew.The woman later became Xiaolong's wife, and also wrote a movie script "Scraping" for him, which is famous all over the country.

Xiaolong stayed on the set for more than a month.At the beginning, I was still carrying a stick and wearing leggings to drill into the primeval forest. After more than ten days, I have explored all the dangers that should be explored, and I feel that they are all the same and I am bored.Xiaolong is a man capable of writing and martial arts. He was born in a military family and served as a soldier. In his bones, he feels that he is the reincarnation of Erlang God.This is very similar to Han Sanping, director of Beijing Film Studio, who hates himself for being born in a peaceful age and not having the opportunity to gallop on the battlefield.Of course, they are not the kind of people who like the equipment of the Eighth Route Army, and they look down on guerrilla warfare very much.What they aspire to be is the kind of commander who owns tank groups under his banner, every soldier is armed to the teeth, has Coca-Cola, never worries about ammunition, and the only worry is that there is no gasoline.Although he has a high official title, he doesn't wear a big hat, but likes to wear a steel helmet without lacing it up, always has a cigar in his mouth, and doesn't hide from the planes.To put it bluntly, he is a bastard like Barton.Later, Wang Shuo couldn't bear to watch people like them swallow their anger and write a novel in a peaceful environment.I made it into the movie "Party A and Party B".The film is deeply loved by the people, and it has also played a role in anesthetizing aspiring young people and maintaining stability and unity.

Zheng Xiaolong not only admires martial arts but also can write.He graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University and has developed the habit of reading since his youth.When I came to the crew to visit the set, I didn’t forget to bring a stack of literary journals. After losing the impulse to the virgin forest, I went to the creek every afternoon to lie on the banana leaves I laid for him to bathe and read. Once, I was lying beside him looking at the sky and daydreaming. Xiaolong, who was reading a book beside him, giggled from time to time, and cursed at the same time: What a fucking grandson.

I can tell that the tone is not scolding the author, but a kind of appreciation from the bottom of my heart but I can't find the right words to express it. I asked him: Who is such a grandson?Make you happy like this. Xiaolong handed me the book and said: Wang Shuo.A buddy I know. I took the book and saw the title of the novel "Floating Out of the Sea".The impression seems to be published in "Contemporary". That was in December 1985.
