"Everyone who writes has a place to grow old. Every thinking heart has a place to live. Chinese avant-garde writer Ma Yuan said in the first season of the humanistic documentary "The Daily Life of Literature" jointly produced by Straits TV and Youku Video. These two sentences speak to the voices of many people who dedicate themselves to literature and love literature, and also fit the tone of "The Daily Life of Literature": instead of pursuing a profound interpretation of literary artists and literary works, we open the window for literary scholars to look at all things, so that we can follow their daily paths to the world of literature, heal ourselves, and place our souls.
After two years, the second season of "Literary Everyday" produced by documentary filmmaker Wang Shengzhi's team (representative works "Breakfast China", "Next Meal", "China Is So Beautiful", and "Literature Everyday") will be jointly screened every Thursday on Southeast TV, Straits TV and Youku Video. Continuing the tone and style of the first season, the second season of "The Daily Life of Literature" still cuts from the visit of friends, the literary artist opens the spiritual world, and the two swim together in the place where they are closely related to the creation of the literary artist, shuttling back and forth between real life and literary works, giving the audience a real and concrete literary thinking and a rich and delicate life experience.
In the second season of "The Daily Life of Literature", six literary artists and their friends appear: Liu Liangcheng & Hong Qi, Yu Jian & Hu Liangcan, Li Xiuwen & Han Songluo, Shuang Xuetao & Shi Hang, Li Er & Zhang Qinghua, Chen Yan & Chen Xiaoduo. They swim in the wider world: sing songs on the pastures of Urumqi, play guitar in the yellow sand of Dunhuang, go to Jianshui to walk a trip to the three-hundred-year-old Hundred Arch Bridges; they wander in the boiling fireworks world: drill hutongs and talk to the masters in the past, squat on the side of the road and gossip with shepherds, enter the urban village and beat workers to talk about the family... Compared with the first season, the second season opens up a richer layer of life, presents a broader and more abundant customs and customs, faces the dilemma of modern life, and rediscovers the Chinese aesthetics of life.
Liu Liangcheng & Hong Qi
"We are accompanied by a slow-growing creature"
Xinjiang Changji Rapeseed Valley Village is the "poetry and far away" that domestic artists yearn for in recent years. There are desolate and rugged Yadan landforms, emerald green grasslands, and people who can take care of the work between the dust into an idyllic area——
Liu Liangcheng, known as "the last essayist in China in the 20th century" and "village philosopher", famous prose collections "One Man's Village" and "In Xinjiang", novels such as "Virtual Soil", "Chiseling The Void", and "Carrying Words". The Mulei Academy, which he presided over and founded, has become a banner of gathering artists and igniting the new life of the countryside.
The life run by Liu Liangcheng is too flavorful and unforgettable. Old friend Hong Qi, songwriter, poet and singer, known as the "idealist of folk songs" by authoritative music critics, once again came to Mulei Academy.
"In that distant place, there is a good girl...", a loud song sounded on the winding road in Xinjiang, opening the code for their faces and taking you into a slow-growing, animistic world.
Yu Jian & Tiger Liangcan
"It's not a bridge, it's a god"
"We are standing on the body of a god now, this is not a bridge, this is a god."
As a representative figure of the "third generation of poetry", Yu Jian's words make us breathe lighter when we look at the three-hundred-year-old Tianyuan Bridge in Jianshui, Yunnan. The poet sees the world and has a delicate mind.
He was visited by Hu Liangcan, the founder of the Kunming Tiger Culture Consulting Agency and Tiger Books, who was the host and producer of Yunnan Tv's "Reading".
Old friends meet each other, put their arms together in the ancient city with a history of more than 1,000 years, and when it comes to the place of drunkenness, the "white blade" meets - a sentence "Are you afraid of death" thrown out.
Li Xiuwen & Han Songluo
"Build a monument for those who are not worth mentioning"
Li Xiuwen, in his 20s, became popular with novels such as "Tear Mole" and "Tied to Heaven", and more than ten years later, he won the Prose Essay Award of the Seventh Lu Xun Literature Award with "Mountains and Rivers Robes". The latter was considered by literary critics to have "re-established its own spiritual heights". He is the youngest chairman of the Hubei Writers Association.
The Hubei people of this authenticity took the northwest as their "temple". This time, he and his friend and writer Han Songluo met to travel to Gansu. On the Gobi Desert in Cangfan, in the night of the sound of sand, they stroked the city wall of Jiayuguan, admired the apricot blossoms on the wasteland, and tasted the elm money and rice of the peasant family... The rough and wild vitality of the Northwest gave them endless topics and refined their spirits.
Shuang Xuetao & Shi Hang
"Writing is my luck"
Shuang Xuetao is a new and popular writer in the film industry, and just after the adaptation of "Assassination of a Novelist" and "Moses on the Plains" into a film was recognized by the industry, the adaptation of "My Friend Andrei" for the film of the same name was also successfully launched in March.
The post-80s generation has many honors: the first mainland writer shortlisted for the Taipei Literature Award, the first winner of the First Prize of the Chinese World Film Fiction Award, and the "Most Promising Newcomer of the Year" at the Chinese Literature and Media Awards. But the tone of his life is the same: writing articles step by step, playing football idly, visiting the alley, playing two rounds of billiards. For the people's livelihood of the city, he has his own observations and understandings, and the books he writes often talk about the romanticism of the little people at the bottom.
Screenwriter Shi Hang said that he did not have to "take it lightly" and that "a cornerstone of his creative world is called equality".
Li Er & Zhang Qinghua
"Fiction is the object"
Li Er, an old friend of Zhang Qinghua (professor, doctoral supervisor and vice dean of the School of Literature of Beijing Normal University, who has long been engaged in the study and criticism of contemporary Chinese literature) commented on him: "Zhang Fei's face, Lin Daiyu's heart. ”
Li Er is considered to be one of the most important representative writers after Chinese avant-garde literature, becoming famous for "Flower Cavity" at a young age, and won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Award more than a decade later with "Ying Wu Brother". Currently the deputy director of the Research Department of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature, he and Zhang Qinghua met in the Museum of Literature, the hometown of Li Er's soul.
There, they wandered among the Western-style architectural complexes, strolled through the Chinese-style gardens, immersed in the meaning of literature step by step, talking about the "Red Chamber", talking about Du Fu, and talking about Lu Xun's "tiger tail".
Chen Yan & Chen Xiaoduo
"Literary works should drum and shout for the low-level workers"
Chen Xiaoduo, chief soprano of the China Opera and Dance Theatre, came to Xi'an, and the first stop that Chen Yan, vice chairman of the China Writers Association, took her around was not an elegant place, but Xibali Village, an urban village.
The aura on Chen Yan's body is very shining: he has won the "Cao Yu Drama Literature Award" and "Wenhua Screenwriter Award" three times, his works have been selected as "Top Ten Fine Dramas" of the National Stage Art Fine Arts Project three times, and the national "Five One Project" awards five times... His identity is high enough and his aura is flashy enough, but he goes in and out of the villagers' homes, such as visiting neighbors and neighbors. In his view, these low-level workers have a spiritual highlight and are the source of his creation.
At the home of the painter Ma Hesheng, Chen Xiaoduo wept because of a singing section by Qin actor Zhang Bei, while others were also shaken by one of her operas... That night, they began a discussion from "skill" to "art". And Chen Xiaoduo also understands the main theme that Chen Yan's "Protagonist" wants to express.
Using literature to illuminate the daily life and regurgitating life with thoughts, the spirit of bathing snow in the second season of "The Daily Life of Literature" is waiting for the king to accompany.
