But today, it seems a little different.

A sonorous and powerful voice echoed across the triangle, but apart from it, there was no movement.

The students, who were usually eloquent and eloquent, stood quietly in the cold air, their expressions changing from casual to focused and eager.

As the emotions of the voices progressed, their expressions became more and more solemn, and their eyes became clearer and clearer.

Every word conveyed by that voice was like a spark of fire, falling in the hearts of these students, quickly spreading into a blazing flame, burning their blood.

"Well said!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly burst out with a compliment, which was abrupt but full of temperament.

This sound of appreciation was like a trumpet, causing the onlookers to spontaneously burst into warm applause. The applause was filled with scorching heat and ignited the Triangle Ground. It also ignited the reverence of many students for Lin Chaoyang.

The midday sun shines through layers of clouds, casting golden rays of light onto Lin Chaoyang.

He bowed slightly and greeted the students sincerely.

Lin Chaoyang didn't actually plan to give an inspiring speech at first, but today he met people like Lin Dongwei and felt the changes in the atmosphere of Yan University in the past few years. He always had the urge to hold back his displeasure.

Such impulses were already brewing during the interview with Cha Jianying, and he finally spoke out through the opportunity of the debate.

The words he said may not change the overall situation, but they will always plant a seed in some people's hearts.

Even if there is only one, maybe one day in the future, it will grow into a towering tree.

Lin Chaoyang walked out of the Triangle. He was like Moses walking through the Red Sea. There was an empty space in front of him, but there were hundreds of pairs of fiery eyes behind him.

It wasn't until he walked more than ten meters that Zha Jianying suddenly woke up and quickly planned to catch up with him.

But halfway through, Zha Jianying stopped and looked at Lin Chaoyang's back with complicated eyes.

Doesn't she know that Lin Chaoyang's words just now were largely aimed at people like her?

Lin Chaoyang did not go far in Zha Jianying's sight. He walked a certain distance and stood still, shaking hands with a middle-aged man and chatting.

Zha Jianying recognized that it was Hong Zicheng, a lecturer in the Chinese Department who was one of her teachers when she was studying at Yanda.

It was when Lin Chaoyang saw Hong Zicheng standing outside the crowd that he walked out from among the students.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After chatting for a while, Hong Zicheng enthusiastically pulled Lin Chaoyang to the southwest gate. He wanted to invite Lin Chaoyang to have dinner at the Changzheng Restaurant.

Laohudong Hutong has not changed much from before. The biggest change is that it is lively.

Oh, by the way, the price of the braised liver noodles at Changzheng Restaurant has increased, from 8 cents to 1 yuan and 2 cents. In addition to the braised liver noodles, the prices of other dishes have also increased.

"Oh, it's been so long since I last saw you!" Hong Zicheng said with emotion.

In the past two years, Lin Chaoyang occasionally returned to Yanda, mostly to his father-in-law's house. He rarely communicated with the teachers and students of Yanda, and even when he did meet, he would always call the police in a hurry.

"The speech just now was very good, but it doesn't seem to fit your personality." Hong Zicheng teased.

Lin Chaoyang laughed and said, "I feel that Yan University has changed a lot in recent years."

Hong Zicheng understands what Lin Chaoyang means by "big changes". He works and lives at Yanda every day.

No one knows better than him.

"It's open, there are always various changes."

Hong Zicheng said something, changed the subject, and joked: "I've heard about the literary award you promoted. It wouldn't be interesting if there was no Best Literary Criticism Award."

"I will definitely think about doing the awards later."

After joking, Lin Chaoyang said seriously: "If you bite off more than you can chew, it would be good if you win the novel award.

The most important thing about an award is its influence.”

Hong Zicheng nodded in approval and said, "You don't know, right? I was invited to become a judge."

"Then you will have no chance of judging awards in the future. You will not be able to participate in judging after four years of being a judge."

"I don't write novels."

The two chatted and laughed, old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and they didn't separate until about one o'clock in the afternoon.

A few days later, in the evening, my uncle appeared in Xiaoliubukou Alley.

"Hey! Chaoyang, I noticed that your visit to Yanda always causes a bit of a stir!"

"Sensation? What sensation?" Tao Yushu asked.

"You don't know?" Tao Yucheng took out a school newspaper, which published Lin Chaoyang's speech in the Triangle that day.

The speech was also given a name by the school newspaper - "Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will prosper the country - Comrade Lin Chaoyang's message to YSU students".

Lin Chaoyang looked at the newspaper curiously and asked, "Where did this come from? I remember it quite well."

"Students with extensive knowledge worked together to recall your speech. They first compiled it and posted it on the poster board in the Triangle.

Later, a reporter from the school newspaper thought it was good and posted it. The response was quite great and it won the support of many students."

Tao Yushu read the newspaper for a while, feeling happy and asked his elder brother: "What are you doing here today?"

"Let me ask when "Red Sorghum" will be released."

"It's coming soon, I'll start next week."

Now the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed. If it hadn't been for the release of "Red Sorghum", Tao Yushu would have returned to Xiangjiang, and there would still be a lot of things to do there.

"Are you going to have a premiere? Can you get me some tickets?"

"I'll ask Yumo to send it to you later.

"Okay. By the way, ask me about Zhang Yimou when you have time. I would like to ask him to give a lesson to the students in our school."

Tao Yushu glanced at him sideways, "When did you get involved in this matter?"

Tao Yucheng smiled and said, "Do your colleagues a favor."

Based on Tao Yushu's understanding of his eldest brother, he naturally knew that his request might have cost him at least one drink.

"Let me ask him."

A few days later, "Red Sorghum" premiered at the Capital Cinema.

These days there are no lively premieres like those in later generations, but the premiere events that should be held still need to be held. The atmosphere is not entertaining, but serious.

In addition to the film's creators and audiences, there were also many colleagues and critics in the film industry.

After the screening, everyone expressed their opinions on the film. "Red Sorghum" received unanimous praise from practitioners and critics.

The audience's evaluation is a bit worse. Some viewers think that the film is too artistic and does not look refreshing enough.

Overall, there are still mostly positive reviews.

At the same time as its premiere at the Capital Cinema, "Red Sorghum" also officially landed in cinemas in major cities across the country.

In order to prepare for the release of "Red Sorghum", Tao Yushu also spent her own money to contact more than a dozen newspapers and magazines to advertise.

Originally, this matter should be done by the distribution company, but China Film is used to being the boss, and the publicity work has always been half-hearted.

"Red Sorghum" is the first and only commercial film produced by Lin's Film Company so far. Tao Yushu ran this advertisement with the mentality of losing money and making a profit.

Of course, she couldn't really lose money.

"Red Sorghum" is the first Chinese film to win the Golden Bear Award at the West Berlin Film Festival. It has been half a month since the award, and the sensational effect is still there.

After the movie was released, cinemas in various cities were crowded with audiences who came to see the award-winning film.

On the tenth day after "Red Sorghum" was released, China Film's first-week box office "statistics" came belatedly.

9 million!

Of course, such neat data cannot be true, and China Film Academy currently does not have the ability to compile statistics.

This number is only inferred by China Film based on the box office performance reported by a few provincial distribution companies such as Yanjing and Shanghai. According to experience, it is only a little less than the actual box office, and it is not a little less.

On the third day after "Red Sorghum" was released, Tao Yushu had already returned to Hong Kong.

After being away from Xiangjiang for more than half a month, the company has already asked her to deal with a lot of things.

When she received the box office data from China Film Group, she felt very relieved even though she knew that the data was definitely inaccurate.

After all, this is the first commercial film released by Lam Films in the Mainland, so it is a good start.

Tao Yushu did not leave alone. Tao Yumo, Adi and her two children also left with her. Lin Chaoyang stayed in Yanjing.

The organization of the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award went smoothly, and Mr. Zhuang’s first payment of 300,000 yuan was transferred to the account of the China Literature Foundation in mid-April.

The awards will be judged in May. After all, this is an award promoted by Lin Chaoyang, and it is the first award. He naturally has to pay attention to it, so Lin Chaoyang wants to wait until the awards are finished before returning to Hong Kong.

By the end of April, the list of the jury for the first Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award was released:

Chairman of the jury: Feng Mu.

Judges: Wang Meng, Chen Huangmei, Lin Chaoyang, Li Tuo (writer), Meng Weizai, Cui Daoyi, Li Shifei,

Li Xiaolin (editor), Zhu Zhai, Chen Yong, Bao Chang, Cai Kui (critic), Xie Jin, Chen Huaikai, Zhang Yimou (filmmaker), Huang Zongjiang, Su Zhi, Lan Tianye (dramatist), Wu Zu, Hong Zicheng, Tong Qingbing

(scholars), He Weiguo, Wu Guanrong, Lu Xu (general readers).

There are a total of 25 judges on the jury. Unlike previous literary awards, which only consist of writers and critics, the list of judges for the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award is unique.
