Chapter 696 Give Roses to Others, with Lingering Fragrance in Hands

In August, Wei Xiaofan went to talk to the Ministry of Culture about the Art Development Fund.

At that time, they actively agreed, but it was not until the beginning of November that Kylin Culture invested 6 million US dollars that the relationship was basically in place, and officially began to support writers, screenwriters, directors, crews, etc.

Recently, Wei Xiaofan has been actively meeting with the candidates selected by the Ministry of Culture, and using his network to investigate their situation.

Wei Xiaofan once said before that this fund is only for talented people who really need help, so he must take it seriously.

Some people in the Ministry of Culture have no ideas, but the money was donated by the rich man in Xiangjiang, and the people above value the young rich man very much, and want him to play an active role and return to the mainland to invest, so They dare not make any small moves at all.

What's more, most of the officials in this era are still very simple, and the people they pick out who need help are basically those who are very talented but lack some help.

Wei Xiaofan also gave Yin Jun a copy of the list.

As a result, the next day, Yin Jun called and asked Wei Xiaofan to pay close attention to a few people so that he could give them more support.

Some of these people are on the list, and some are not.

After putting down the phone, Wei Xiaofan began to look through the information of Ling Jiefang, the only one on the list, and found that this was not a person of extraordinary beauty.

Ling Jiefang, who is 35 years old, is now working in a city in the Central Plains as a civil servant.

The reason why he was recommended on the list is because this year he published two articles on "A Dream of Red Mansions", which were very praised by some old-school red scholars, so the Writers Association listed him as an option.

You know, the Writers Association alone has recommended more than 100 people, and Ling Jie's inclusion in it is inconspicuous, and it is basically regarded as making up the number.

Ling Jiefang is still famous, but Wei Xiaofan has never even heard of the remaining five people.

They are called Bei Dao, Gu Cheng, Wang Xiaobo, Chen Zhongshi and Lu Yao respectively.

While asking people to find their information quickly, Wei Xiaofan began to wonder again, how did Jun know about them, and even named them to take care of them?

Of course he doesn't know that Yin Jun knows that these five outstanding writers and poets are not now, but more than 30 years later.

Anyone who engages in literature and art will have some artistic feelings.

Yin Jun's job is to collect and organize information related to Xiangjiang Entertainment, and make it into a magazine and publish it.

But besides this, Yin Jun will also watch Japanese and Korean entertainment, European and American entertainment, and of course mainland entertainment.

Then, young people will naturally see a group of outstanding writers and artists in the period of social change in the 1980s, such as the five people mentioned above.

First of all, the fate of these five people is actually very bad, which is why Yin Jun wants to help them by name.

If it weren't for Haizi who is only a sophomore now, he would have to be added to Yin Jun's help list.

Needless to say, Gu Cheng, the most tragic one is him, the master of misty poetry who wrote "Darkness gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light", struggling constantly between reality and fantasy, and finally He hacked his wife to death with an axe, and hung the southeast branch by himself, ending his life.

Lu Yao was a little bit better, but this person who won the third Mao Dun Literature Award, before going to Huajing to accept the award, expressed his indignation with "Japanese. His. Mother's literature", and in Died of illness in poverty.

His good friend, Chen Zhongshi, the author of "White Deer Plain", lived a long time, sold the film and television adaptation rights for a lot of money, and enjoyed a good life for several years, but he also used "you know a hammer" against officials. Is it not the grief and indignation of life?

Bei Dao has always been alive. We often see "Despicableness is the passport of the humble, and nobleness is the epitaph of the noble". He wrote it, but because of various factors of that era, he could only drift in the Abroad, it is also very depressed.

The best one is Wang Xiaobo. Although he also died of illness due to his early sufferings, he has a wife who loves him and a wife he loves. The two have lived hand in hand for a lifetime. This is relatively happy, at least Yin Jun thinks so .

Yin Jun has no way to evaluate their lives, nor does he want to interfere too much in their lives.

But these five are all excellent writers and poets, Yin Jun is willing to give them a stable and comfortable environment, so that they can write more leisurely, and avoid the tragedy of the previous life to a large extent.

Huaguo, and even the whole world, need this kind of scar literature and works that directly point to human nature, not literature that only has joy and entertainment.

What's more, according to the current standard of living, a subsidy of 100 yuan a month is enough for them to live well.

It doesn't cost much, but you can give roses to others, so why not do it?

If Yin Jun helped these five people because of the thoughts of a literary youth, then helping Ling Jiefang was purely for commercial considerations.

You may not be familiar with the name Ling Jiefang, but when it comes to his pen name, basically everyone over the age of 30 in Huaguo has heard of it.

February River.

That's right.

Ling Jiefang is Er Yuehe, who is ridiculed on the Internet as "Three Lives Vote for Tartars", who specializes in Qing Dynasty imperial literature.

Yin Jun doesn't think that a literary creation can affect so many people. This kind of cursing is really a bit unrefined.

What's more, the three monarchs written by Ling Jiefang, especially Kangxi and Yongzheng, are absolutely flesh and blood, and they are models among emperors.

"Emperor Kangxi", "Emperor Yongzheng" and "Emperor Qianlong", these three novels are the pinnacle of emperor novels that Yin Jun has read, none of them.

When TV dramas first came out, I just watched "Emperor Kangxi" and "Emperor Yongzheng" because they thought they were good-looking, and I didn't think too much about them.

It can be said that in the Internet age, it is possible to extract clips from TV dramas for many social issues, such as what Kangxi said to his ministers in the hall, "Where is the worry of the Qing Dynasty?" Shocking.

As a result, Yin Jun also read these three books by Er Yuehe, which made him feel more deeply.

Back in Xiangjiang 42 years ago, when writing the scripts, Yin Jun had written these three scripts, but they needed too much professional knowledge and cultural background, unlike martial arts TV dramas and urban TV dramas, relying on It can be made up with experience and jokes, so Yin Jun only wrote an outline, which is not enough to make an excellent TV series.

There are actually quite a few TV dramas about emperors in Xiangjiang, but these are basically jokes, including "Qin Shihuang" given to ATV, and "Joking about Qianlong" which has not yet been released. These plots are actually very simple, involving political. There are too few things, people's hearts, power tactics, etc., so Yin Jun can complete them without any flaws when he only remembers 60% or 70%.

But for the scripts of these three books, Yin Jun has always had an idea that it is best to let Er Yuehe write them out, and then write the complete scripts after reading the books himself, which will be considered complete.

Hence the origin of the "Art Development Fund".

Of course, although Er Yuehe is what Yin Jun wants to find, he is only one of them. There are many famous writers and directors, but Yin Jun hopes to get acquainted.

The first person Wei Xiaofan met was Ling Jiefang.

Both of them are fat, but when they met, Ling Jiefang was still a little cautious.

He was originally working in the Central Plains, but Huajing Culture Department directly called and said that there was an art development fund from Xiangjiang to help him write, and asked him to come here quickly.

Ling Jiefang had to obey the orders from above, and he arrived in Huajing after a day's train ride.

Seeing Wei Xiaofan's aura of a superior person, Ling Jiefang said very little.

Wei Xiaofan didn't take it seriously, and chatted with him about what he was writing recently.

Wei Xiaofan felt that although Yin Jun was helping these mainland writers, if he could get a good book from them, buy the copyright, and adapt it into a good script, it would definitely be a good harvest.

Unexpectedly, he really made a mistake.

Ling Jiefang said that although he is currently studying Hongxue, he finds that the study of emperors in it is very interesting. He has accumulated a little bit, and he will write it when he has time.

"Then do you think it's better to write a book? Or to have a stable job?" Wei Xiaofan asked.

"If I had Mr. Wei's fund as my confidence, then I would definitely be more comfortable writing a book." Ling Jiefang said directly.

"Well, our fund was originally designed to help you." Wei Xiaofan said, "We are still relatively unskilled at the beginning of operation, and now there are 3 grades in total. I read your article and think you are very aura, I decided to give you a first-class subsidy, 200 yuan a month, do you think it is enough for your usual family expenses?"

"Enough! Enough!"

Ling Jiefang was overjoyed. Although he is a government employee in the small city where he is now, his monthly salary is only over 40, which was more than 4 times higher for him in one go, even his wife's salary is enough.

Now he can write books with peace of mind, and his wife can also take care of the housework and take care of the children at home.

"Mr. Ling, please don't worry, our art development fund is deposited in the bank with 6 million US dollars, and then the interest is used every month. The funds have been supervised by the Ministry of Culture, and there will be no day when they will be withdrawn." Wei Xiaofan Dao said, "In the early stage, let's set this time as 5 years. If Mr. Ling can come up with good works within 5 years, then we will continue. If he doesn't come up with convincing works, then We're going to renegotiate... Do you think this will work?"

"good!"

Ling Jiefang only thought for a moment before making a decision.

With the guarantee of the Ministry of Culture, the 200 yuan subsidy for 5 years is equivalent to my income for 20 years of working time, basically that is how much I earn when I go to work.

Even if I can't produce good works within 5 years, I can still find a job with my own hands in the future and support myself.

Not to mention, I already have a lot of experience in writing, and I will never get to the point where I can't write anything.

But he still has a question.

"Mr. Wei, what you said about my work just now..." Ling Jiefang asked, "Does it mean that because of your funding, my work belongs to you..."

"How is this possible?" Wei Xiaofan laughed, "The book you wrote is of course your own. We are just helping you so that you can write better works to enrich everyone's entertainment life. Of course, when At that time, if your book is good, we can also talk about the sale of film and television adaptation rights. We are a famous film and television company in Xiangjiang, and the price will not be less than yours!"

Ling Jiefang forced a reserved smile, "I hope to have a chance to cooperate."

He doesn't care about any future film and television adaptations, as long as his book is still his own.

Unexpectedly, when you come to Huajing, you can still pick up such a great deal. It's really worth it!

For a while, Ling Jiefang had a good impression of this Qilin Group.
