Chapter 144 me and radio

For a person who is often immersed in writing work, he rarely has leisure time to listen to the radio or watch TV.However, I have an indissoluble bond with radio and television. After the novel was published, and before the movie, the China Central People's Broadcasting Station produced a wide-ranging drama, with the famous movie actor Sun Daolin as the commentator.I remember that I heard it on the location of a movie in northern Shaanxi. There is a festival at noon every day, which is very unique.Radio drama is an art that leaves a lot of room for imagination.Later, my novel "The Ordinary World" was successively broadcast on Shaanxi People's Broadcasting Station and China National People's Broadcasting Station, and was adapted into a 14-episode TV series by CCTV's China TV Drama Production Center.When the first two novels were broadcast on the radio, I was still sick and bored in a small dark room day and night to write the third novel.In those extremely difficult days, the moment of joy every day was listening to my own works for half an hour on the broken radio on the table.For me, it is equivalent to injecting myself with a cardiotonic every day.Whenever I feel a little weak, or simply can't bear the physical and mental torture, the broken radio will sternly remind and warn me: Millions of listeners are waiting for you, how to write the following article!I had to face that radio again and again to arouse my sense of responsibility and keep going.According to the requirements, I had to submit the finished version of the third part to the Central People's Broadcasting Station by June 1, 1988 at the latest.On May 25th, I marked the end of six years of work with hands as excited as chicken paws at the Ganquan County Guest House in northern Shaanxi.Then set off that night, crossed the Yellow River from Shanxi and rushed to Beijing on the shortest route, and arrived at CCTV on time on June 1.When I sat in the quiet studio of CCTV with the editor-in-charge Ye Yongmei and the long-book announcer Li Yemo who I only heard but never met, I really had mixed feelings.I didn't expect that nearly 2,000 letters from enthusiastic audiences have been piled up here.I am very grateful for the head start broadcast, which brought the fruits of my labor to the public in time.

Immediately afterwards, CCTV adapted and produced a 14-episode TV series based on the novel.Strictly speaking, the filming of the TV series is not satisfactory.But this is already another kind of art, which should be evaluated according to the standards of the profession. As a novel author, one should not be too demanding. In any case, it has played a very important role in the spread of novels, so one should be satisfied. As a literary worker, I used to be in awe of radio and television as a means of modern communication.Their communication with the public is so rapid and extensive, with almost no barriers, will one day in the future engulf writers like "handicraft producers" entirely?After I have dealt with these two kinds of "electric tigers" several times, I feel that literature can fly more broadly by borrowing these two wings.I will approach them with closer affection.

A reporter from Shaanxi People's Broadcasting Station asked a reporter: Thank you very much for accepting our interview.You have worked hard step by step from "The Ordinary World" on the road to ideals. Today I mainly want to ask you to talk about your knowledge and understanding of ideals. Lu Yao: One must have ideals in life.Ideal is tomorrow.If a person has no tomorrow, his life has no meaning in my opinion.Even a society should have its ideals, that is what kind of society this society should be tomorrow.No matter a person or a society, all their practices and efforts are aimed at developing towards a better direction.So I think that if you have ideals, then you can have goals in the process of struggle.It is meaningless for a person to spend his whole life in a daze.

Reporter: But the ideal road is very difficult and bumpy.What do you think is the force that drives a person forward on a difficult road, that is to say, what is the ideal motivation. Lu Yao: People should have a sense of responsibility and a sense of mission in life.We don't come into this world just to eat something, put on some clothes and get ready to leave.In the process of human life, one should seek a more fulfilling life as much as possible.In this way, he will do his best for a certain ideal of his, for a certain purpose of life designed by him.For a young man, there should be a period of enlightenment—the period of enlightenment in life.The earlier this awakening period, the better.This means being aware of who we want to be and how we are going to live.Only after he has a deep understanding of these issues, he will establish a relatively lofty goal in life, and he will mobilize all his strength to strive for this goal.Of course, for young people who are still inexperienced in the world, they often have a lot of fantasies, and even some fantasies.I think there is nothing to blame at this point.This is also characteristic of their age.

If you don't have any ideas when you are a teenager, you will become an old man in advance.The usual situation is that when we were young, we had a lot of visions for the future. As time goes by and the environment changes, great changes will occur, and some of them have even disappeared without a trace.However, there should always be something that will play a role in your future life. Reporter: Just now we talked about setting a goal, such as becoming a writer, or some people want to own a house and a car, and some people want to be a high-ranking official or make a fortune. What are these goals and ideals in life? Different, can you share your opinion.

Lu Yao: I think the so-called ideal first contains a sublime nature.Not only does it involve achieving a certain personal goal, but more importantly, it means making some kind of sacrifice and dedication. Ideals cannot be purely limited to trivial personal desires.Don't confuse ideals with trivial desires, because there is an essential difference. For a person with real ideals, all the labor, work and hard work he does are not only to satisfy some personal desires, but to serve the great world he lives in. environment and contribute to society as a whole.In this way, he may feel happier.

Reporter: Now looking back at many people in the society, for example, his dream has been realized, and he feels that he has some very special talents. Do you think that the dream is the patent of such a special talent?What kind of ideals do you think ordinary people, that is, very ordinary people, should have. Lu Yao: Ideals cannot be regarded as a sign of a good or bad career.I think that no matter what job he is in, everyone should have pursuits in every practice, and there is no distinction between high and low in this pursuit.For example, you can be a writer and realize your ideals through hard work, which is very good; but you think that your talent is to be a good carpenter, and finally make beautiful furniture that is loved by everyone, and thousands of households are vying to use it. Seems worse than being a bad writer.Some people make clothing, which is also an ordinary job, but the clothes made by him are liked by everyone, which is also a good realization of their ideals.It seems to me only foolish conclusions to draw to which ideal is the best among the garment-worker, the carpenter, and the writer.Each of them establishes their own life goals and life pursuits according to their own conditions, and can make beneficial contributions to society.

Reporter: The distance between ideal and reality is very far away, so how do you think ideal can become reality? Lu Yao: If a person does not work hard, do not work, do not go through creation, then he is still dreaming, and this kind of "ideal" can only be a fantasy in the end.I think turning ideals into reality is actually what life is all about.People live to turn their countless dreams and ideals into reality.Of course, not all ideals can be realized, but you will always have ideals or dreams throughout your life that should be realized. Reporter: It can be said that there are more and more people in the society who talk about practical benefits, and some people say that there are fewer and fewer people who talk about ideals. Do you think there is a contradiction between ideals and benefits? If you talk about benefits, you don't talk about ideals.

Lu Yao: This is a big article.In today's youth, there is a kind of pursuit of practical benefits, and the light of ideals is somewhat dim.We are now developing economic construction, and this process will inevitably affect people's consciousness.It is understandable that people care about some practical personal problems and pay attention to benefits.But I don't think this is at the expense of my own ideals, especially in the past few years, I always feel that something is missing in our lives.I think it lacks a little romantic spirit.There is too little romanticism among young people nowadays.I even wanted to write a novel specifically to reflect this problem, titled "Looking for Romance".

I think there should be something romantic in young people, especially in a society that is too secular and urbanized, romance can bring a kind of passion for life.Think about the war years, what material enjoyment did young men and women have at that time? But they were so young, some took their lives in their twenties.They stir up youth for an ideal and a spirit.This way of living is very exciting and inspiring.If a person has no honor in his spiritual life, even if he has a lot of money, he is still poor--as sad as poverty. Reporter: Young people from you just now generally lack a romantic spirit, that is to say, they live too realistically.We can also understand the distress of young people from the work we are engaged in, and from the letters and talks of many young people.We would like to ask you, if a young man feels that he is satisfied with the status quo, a little uninspired, has no pursuit, no pursuit, and no ideal, but he comes to you for advice, please give him some advice , how will you tell him.

Lu Yao: This question is actually a question that all of us have to think about in our lives.As mentioned earlier, it is actually how we should live, or how to live is meaningful.At any time, from the time of material underdevelopment to the time of material development, there is always the question of whether people should live.Many problems need to be solved by young people themselves.In the final analysis, we need a positive attitude towards life, not a negative attitude towards life and an excessive egoism.In other words, we should not only make ourselves live well, but also find ways to help others. Silent turbulence——I finished reading "Crater of the Moon" and "Crater of the Moon" by Li Tianfang and Xiaolei within four days. I feel that the author has grasped the three flavors of novel creation through this novel, Even mastered to an almost pure green level. It is almost impossible to talk about this work specifically, but you can feel a silent surge everywhere, which is the skill.The antelope hangs horns, and there is no trace to look for. Does it belong to this state?What the author expresses is the overall experience of life, rather than telling stories. There are sparks of thought and torrents of emotions everywhere, so you are touched everywhere. Ordinary readers want to read stories, stories with twists and turns, but high-level readers are never satisfied with listening to stories, but want to read life.A novel with a complete story and all its boring aspects, after reading a book like "Crater of the Moon", I am willing to read it forever.This kind of novel is difficult to skip and read, and you can only enjoy every word, because the author's unique and true feelings are permeated everywhere in the work, which has an irresistible traction for readers. Some novels seem to have very attractive stories, but they always make people suspicious: Is life like this?is it possible?The author can only be accepted and felt by people if he puts himself in the shoes and makes people credible.Good novels seem to be "nothing", but in fact they are full of insights into life.Every sentence in every paragraph must be written well, not just writing correctly, it’s not enough to take care of the master back and forth, but in every paragraph, even in a few short sentences, there should be eye-catching Bright things must have rich layers and rich scenery in a small vortex of language and in the bay of paragraphs.As long as each paragraph is written well, it is more attractive than deliberately pursuing a complete story.This time, the language of Tianfang's prose and Xiaolei's poetry has completely transformed into the language of novels in the true sense.There should be prose and poetry, but in novels, both prose and poetry should become prose and poetry in novels, and become the real language of novels.It is precisely because of this that this novel is different from other novels.Some novels pursue the explosive effect of news reports, but this is a work that pursues artistic effects.A novel cannot be impacted by events.This novel obviously tries to use art to conquer conquerors, so I read it with particular interest.It is really impossible to talk about it, but it has been written in more than 300,000 words.It is not easy to achieve this point.Before I read the latter part, I was imagining it. After I finished reading the latter part, I found that it was exactly in line with what I had imagined.Everything is natural.Only huge and ingenious labor can produce works that do not show traces of processing. Some people may regard this kind of novel as just a language, and this kind of understanding is superficial.The most important thing is a deep experience and feeling.This book made me feel a kind of sincerity in content, and this sincerity has been expressed in a powerful way.Some novels lack the sincerity of life and are just written for writing; some novels have sincerity, but they cannot be achieved through the taste of art, especially language.And this work combines the two as much as possible.The most important thing is the deep feeling and understanding of life, and then the expression of language. The combination of the two can form a novel in the true sense.This is where the real value of this novel lies.Although the description is calm, the heart is full of storms.This is a truly broad world that draws readers into the depths of their hearts.The human spiritual world is a boundless palace.The writer's experience cannot be replaced by anyone, and readers follow the experience provided by the writer to think.As a result, the novel seems particularly bland in its external structure, but has real inner tension. A notable feature of "The Crater of the Moon" is the excavation of the human spiritual world, which pursues another pattern of vastness.And different, one focuses on the description of social history, and the other focuses on the excavation of spiritual history, but it cannot be said which one is bigger and more important than which one.In fact, the world of the mind is the largest.The hearts of Rochester and Jane Eyre lead to the whole world.I have read it many times, and this kind of novel is very charming.Shallow book critics tend to pay attention to all kinds of gimmicks in appearance.Don't pull in irrelevant things in order to expand the capacity. "The Crater of the Moon" is not like this, there is no description that diverges from emotion. From the perspective of writing a novel, I read and analyzed the chapters and paragraphs of this novel, and finally think that it can only be written in this way.It is rare to get excess, and it is rare to have less.It can only be like this.I think novels should be like this, which should be vivid and restrained.It's a pity if it's not too hot; it's also a pity that it's too hot.Art is harmony, and propriety is harmony.Insufficient or superfluous destroys harmony. The broadness of the novel means that the writer's perspective on life should be open; just telling the story to the north, south, east, and west is not necessarily open.And this novel is open in terms of the way of thinking and revealing the psychology of the characters.In the past, the author's prose, novel or poetry works were full of restraint, but this time he was able to let go, and he became more and more let go later.What is important is that the grasp of the life, thoughts, ways of thinking, ways of expressing emotions, life forms, etc. of that era is accurate.These are written accurately, and reading novels makes people enter and even immerse themselves in that era, which makes us have such a thought: no matter how naive we were, that era is still wonderful and fascinating. In fact, using art to tamper with life and history is a kind of real childishness.The novel's descriptions of various characters at that time, especially those who are rigid or bad today, are all restrained. The author judges and reviews from the perspective of society. Identifying characters from personal likes and dislikes is a kind of historical overlook.It is not easy to make a particularly clear impression of the group of people described. "Moscow is clearly visible in your pen", this is the highest praise for the work.The characters and environment described in a work leave a particularly clear impression on people, which is the least and also the most difficult. The ending of the novel is also good, and the last paragraph is particularly good. Only in that era, this kind of ending has a profound poetic flavor and gives people a particularly warm and moving feeling.But I feel that at the end of the novel, Zhou Wei and Wei Cunxian's pen and ink are a little lighter in response to the fate of several characters.I think it would be better to have a little bit of historical or philosophical summary of the people and life I was with, and a bit of writing about "Crater of the Moon" at some point near the end, for example in the description of the wedding In the above, it can be said: those who have come, those who have not come, those who are alive, and those who have died. In the eyes of later generations, the lives of these people are simple, ordinary, and even mediocre. However, in such an era background Under the circumstances, they have made unremitting efforts and lofty pursuits... Such a summary may give people more inspiration.There should be a small paragraph and a small detail. Click on it. Although there is now, it is not enough. The title of Lu Zhe's death and the cave wedding should be more ingenious.There must be a heavy pen, no matter in thought or content, a heavy pen is needed to let the surging things have a home.Of course, the consistent style of the whole book is required.Also, the mid-autumn festival protagonist's meeting with old classmates is a little blunt.Although this is a small flaw, a few dissonant interludes in a symphony will ruin the whole symphony, so we must pay attention to it. Generally speaking, there is no slack or reluctance in this novel, and there is a kind of ease everywhere.This is obviously a reflection of decades of artistic accumulation. The accumulation of decades is displayed on a suitable big stage. It can be seen that the author has used all the original prose and poetry skills, but it is far different from the previous prose and poetry works. .From an artistic point of view, this work should be viewed objectively. This is undoubtedly a major achievement in the creation of Shaanxi novels, and it is a high-quality full-length masterpiece. Through this novel, the author should pursue the victory.Art should be factual about distinguishing what is valuable from what is not.This book is a total jewel of value.For the time being, the author regards all previous works as preparations for this book, without thinking about anything, and must complete the following things.My experience is, don't think about anything, just write what you want to write.I believe that the author will be able to write well.
