As for why Zhang Qiurui did not submit any articles to Ming Pao or Xiangjiang Publishing House for more than half a year, it was because Zhang Qiurui was writing two novels.
One is a science fiction novel submitted to Ming Pao in Hong Kong.
This time, the science fiction novel she "copied" was "The Three-Body Problem".
The Three-Body Problem is a series of novels with a total word count of over 800,000 words. The Three-Body Problem Part 1 has 310,000 words, The Three-Body Problem Part 2: The Dark Forest has 470,000 words, and The Three-Body Problem Part 3: Death's End has 370,000 words.
In order not to interrupt his thoughts, Zhang Qiurui planned to finish writing and then mail it to Cheng Shufen, which is why it took so long.
In addition, Zhang Qiurui also wrote another novel - "Zhu Xian".
Zhang Qiurui planned to publish the novel "Zhu Xian" in People's Literature, because she wanted to use this novel as a stepping stone to let People's Literature do something for her.
So, in the past year, Zhang Qiurui has basically been writing these two novels, so Zhang Qiurui has been very busy in the past year.
The news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be announced in September this year, clarifying the specific arrangements for the resumption of the college entrance examination. I still have one year to go to college.
Yes, Zhang Qiurui planned to take the college entrance examination after studying in high school for one year. When he was specially recruited by Principal Zhu to study in Yucai High School, he made a request to Principal Zhu.
This requirement is to allow oneself to take the college entrance examination next year in advance.
As for which university to attend, Zhang Qiurui had already made up her mind. She could write songs and novels, and she had vivid memories of many film and television works she had watched in later generations. She originally wanted to apply to the Department of Literature at the Yenching Film Academy.
However, in 1977 and 1978, Yenching Film Academy only recruited students from five departments: Acting, Directing, Photography, Fine Arts, and Recording, and there was no Literature Department. This did not discourage her.
Since there is no literature department, isn’t there a directing department?
The director is above the actors and editors and controls the artistic direction of the entire film and television work. She simply opened up a new track.
As the saying goes: the director is king.
If you want to do something, you have to do it to the best of your ability. She wants to win all the major awards abroad, including the Oscars and the Golden Globes. In this era, no domestic director has won various heavyweight awards abroad, and no one has achieved any success in the three major awards, the Oscars, or the Golden Globes. Perhaps she will be the first.
In this era, once you win a big prize abroad, it is considered a glory for the country, and the media and the public will be excited about it.
Originally, if Zhang Qiurui wanted to be admitted to the directing department of Yenching Film Academy, he had to take the first and second exams and pass five levels of tests. Only after passing the cultural courses could he be admitted to Yenching Film Academy.
This time, Zhang Qiurui asked someone to use a back door. After the college entrance examination was resumed, Zhang Qiurui asked People's Literature and Yenching Film Academy to communicate to see if they could specially recruit him into the directing department.
Now I am at least a well-known writer.
In return, Zhang Qiurui wrote the long novel "Zhu Xian" and submitted it to People's Literature.
The novel "Zhu Xian" has more than 1.5 million words. If it is serialized at a rate of 50,000 words per issue, it will take at least two years to be published.
In addition, "Zhu Xian" is set in the oriental fairy world, with ups and downs in the plot and distinct characters. It brings together love, family, friendship and the struggle between good and evil. The writing is beautiful and the story is vivid.
It has compact content, rich plot, vivid characters, and also pioneered the fairy-tale novel, combining Chinese classical culture with the emerging magical trend. Its quality is unquestionable.
This novel can be considered as a pioneering work of a different genre.
This was Zhang Qiurui's reward for asking People's Literature to help him get a special admission quota from Yenching Film Academy.
In 1978, Yenching Film Academy resumed college entrance examination enrollment. This year was recorded in history. In this year, Yenching Film Academy, as the highest institution of film education, resumed normal enrollment after a ten-year interruption. This moment was listed as one of the 100 most exciting moments in the history of 20th century film by the authoritative magazine "Film Handbook" in the world film industry.
That year, more than 6,000 candidates from all over the country applied for admission to Yenching Film Academy. In the end, the five departments of Acting, Directing, Photography, Fine Arts, and Recording that participated in the enrollment admitted a total of 159 candidates. The application-to-admission ratio was nearly 40:1. It can be said that the best of the best were selected, and "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge" was the best.
The school in 1977 and 1978 was not located in Jimenqiao on the North Third Ring Road, but in Zhuxinzhuang, Shahe, Changping, a remote suburb outside the Fifth Ring Road.
In 1977 and 1978, Yenching Film Academy was a gathering place for big names, and produced a number of famous teachers who played an important role in the film industry.
The acting department includes Zhou Lijing, Xie Yuan, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Tieling, Shen Shanping, Fang Shu, Liu Jia, Cheng Guoxing, Wang Yue, Cui Xinqin and others.
The directors include Cheng Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Li Shaohong, Hu Mei and others.
The photography department includes Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Zhang Huijun and others.
These people later played an important role in their respective fields and became the indispensable backbone of the Chinese film industry.
Zhang Qiurui felt excited when he thought about studying in the same school or even being classmates with these people in the future.
..........
Time passed slowly and soon it was the end of August.
After Zhang Mingqi, Wang Shi and Zhou Tan took the high school entrance exam, they received their admission letters. On August 30th, the four of them and their parents carried large and small bags to send them to Xingcheng Yucai High School.
When we arrived at Yucai High School, many parents had already brought their children to register, pay tuition, and then go to the dormitory.
Zhang Qiurui was specially admitted and did not have to pay any tuition fees. As long as his total score in the final exam of the first semester reached the score mentioned by Principal Zhu, he would continue to be exempted from tuition fees in the next semester. Otherwise, he would have to pay.
The dormitories of that era were very simple, with ten people in a room and no separate bathrooms, just large bathhouses. Although the conditions were difficult, everyone's face was filled with anticipation and longing for a new life.
"Qiu Rui, Ming Qi, we're going back. I don't have anything else to tell you. If you have any questions, please go to the teacher." Xie Lin came to Xingcheng Yucai High School. After she made the beds for her sister-in-law and eldest niece, she saw that it was getting late, so she said a few words and went back to Sha County with Zhang Wenfu and Zhang Wenmin.
The younger sister-in-law is rich, sensible, and has her own ideas. The eldest niece is even more careful and thoughtful, more like an adult than an adult. There doesn't seem to be anything to explain, but the younger sister-in-law and the eldest niece will be away from them for a long time at once, which makes Xie Lin feel a little reluctant.
Without them both at home, I always feel like something is missing.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, Mingqi and I will take good care of ourselves." Zhang Qiurui seemed to see her second sister-in-law's reluctance, and she smiled to comfort her.
