Yao Kougen remembers one thing, in 1982, he traveled to Langya Mountain with his army classmates. In November 1981, Shanghai held its first Drama Festival. This is the first of its kind in China, and many famous artists from the national theater industry have gathered in Shanghai. I just graduated from the play, and I was assigned to the drama association, holding symposiums during the day, watching the play at night, sorting out materials in my spare time, and busy welcoming the arrival. The drama festival is very lively, everyone is shaking the flag and shouting, and I can't imagine that a dark horse has emerged, the Army's "Reassuring Pill". The 80s was the era of good dramas and then awards, "Reassuring Pill" won the first drama festival award, and "Liberation Daily" serialized the script of the army for the first time. Of course, this incident undoubtedly had an epoch-making impact and became a well-documented long-term memory. In fact, in my impression, the spread of the script was far less sensational than the stage performance, and the theater audience at that time was no less crazy about watching the play than today's teenagers are obsessed with pop music. I remember that many old artists affirmed the play, expressed heartfelt praise for the army in their twenties, and for such a fresh and vulgar rural drama in an industrial city like Shanghai, and said many words of encouragement inside and outside the field. At that time, Yao Shixiao, the head of the drama association, an old comrade who served as the branch secretary of the drama department of Yan'an Lu Xun Art College, said that Xu Linxiang, who could write plays in Songjiang, had trained a young screenwriter called Jun. I told him that the Army was my classmate and our squad leader. The following year, the Drama Association organized playwrights from Shanghai to go to the Fengyang area of Anhui Province to collect styles, and the army was included in the list as the youngest screenwriter in Shanghai. The leader of the drama association greeted the unit of the army, arranged for him and me to play the front station together, and said that he could help us arrange what activities would make the playwrights feel truly satisfied. Later, accompanied by Yu Liangxin, a reporter in the Xinmin Evening News, accompanied by the army. The army and I arrived in Chuzhou, Anhui, arranged the entire event, and took advantage of the gap that the large army had not yet arrived to go to Langya Mountain, where the "Legend of the Drunken Weng Pavilion" was produced. At that time, I still did not understand the unspeakable concealment of Ouyang Xiu's drunkenness between mountains and rivers, and walked with the army on the mountain road of "the forest is beautiful, and the view is beautiful but deep", reciting aloud. At that time, there were not many tourists, we had no money and nowhere to buy alcohol and drink, so we were interested in the fragments of Old Man Ouyang's famous text, and swam straight to the sunset in the mountains, the woods were overcast, and the sound was noisy, before hurriedly descending the mountain and returning. On May 16, 1982, my workbook made a brief note: Traveling with the Army to Langya Mountain, enjoying the drama. After a year, the army once again showed its edge, and his "Melon Garden Song" won the third drama festival award. After that, he played every year, won numerous awards, and became a professional in drama awards. In the 90s of the 20th century, the Army returned to his alma mater as a heavyweight screenwriter and entered the field of drama teaching. Out of the play, back to the play, forty years, like green silk twilight into snow, a class of more than a dozen students, just the two of us are still in the arms of the drama. An education expert in the United States said that some professors in China have no enthusiasm for pursuing knowledge when they reach a certain age. It is a pity that he did not see that our professors became more and more courageous, and did not know that some of our scholars broke out at a certain age. On the first day that the army professor left the post of head of the drama department, he posted a schedule for the day in a WeChat group, full of affairs as if it was a schedule arranged by the secretary, accurate to the minute. He still works on his mobile phone landline, frequent WeChat text messages, and does not rest at midnight. Because I was working in the same place, sometimes I went out of the office with him to eat in the cafeteria, and I would always encounter some teachers or students blocking me on the short way. In this case, I usually don't stop and wait for a while. By the time I've eaten, he'll still be talking to people on the road. Busyness and silence, the opposite polar extremes, can achieve the greatest balance and unity in the army. His life was very monotonous, and he gave himself a screen name: Simple Life. For forty years, he drove to school at 6 o'clock in the morning, often went home after watching a play at 10 p.m., and often did the same during holidays, summer and winter vacations. He doesn't like to travel, and neither does visiting abroad; I don't like dancing, and so does karaoke; I don't like to speculate in stocks, do business and open a company, and I don't like boring entertainment. The way of university, knowing and then having certainty, and then being able to be quiet. The busyness and tranquility of the army, like "the great hidden in the dynasty", is to maintain a pure and flawless state of mind in the chaotic affairs, so as to locate the quiet state of mind; His peace and then thoughtfulness, as if "emptiness is color, color is emptiness", and has the enjoyment of the soul that carefully filters the drama in the silence. For life, he is simple; For career, he was a national model worker in the 80s of the 20th century, and was rated as a Shanghai model worker in the 21st century, always full of passion and reverie. However, the "middle" that he enjoys is somewhat inflated, referring not only to theater creation, but also to teaching and research, as well as the screenwriting of Shino in the long cover. Screenwriting, affiliated with drama and film and television, is an emerging discipline. In 2007, it was first proposed by Professor Army, who was the head of the Department of Drama, Film and Television Literature at the time, and it has been ten years since then. However, the Army's true dedication came after he stepped down as head of the drama department. He stepped down as the head of the drama department, pushed him to the post of director of the creative center, declined all high-paying offers in society, and greatly cut many social activities. The original intention of his simple life is to have a goal and save an idea: the poetry created by the students' drama, and the distant construction of the drama discipline. The Army majored in screenwriting and had a good entry point. During his studies, the army enthusiastically studied foreign dramas, made a large number of reading notes, and most of the research had its own unique reading understanding. This can be seen from his article "George Bernard Shaw" published by him. Interestingly, most of the school's investigation of screenwriters and the study of drama theory draw on European and American theories, and attach relative importance to classic drama theory and techniques. Jun came out of a preference for opera creation, and his research focused on the field of classical opera theory. He had a preference for studying classical drama, and from this he broke into a boundless world and devoted himself to the study of classical Chinese literature and art theory. Once, when he heard that Mr. Xu Zhongyu had published the "Special Information Series on Ancient Chinese Literary and Art Theory", he was overjoyed, and immediately bought it online and read it overnight. He said that he had long heard that Mr. Xu Zhongyu, a well-known literary and art theorist, had read a lot of books and made cards with grand hands, and that in 2013, he was able to carefully select and sort out the knowledge materials collected through his life's painstaking efforts and publish a four-volume series, which is indeed the happiness of scholars of my generation. The Army treasures this kind of academic information. This kind of attention to traditional literary and art theory fully reflects the spread of the army's concern for Chinese drama theory to a wider world, not only literary theory, but also painting theory, book theory, music theory, music theory, and so on. He often told his classmates that from the perspective of a screenwriter, the concepts and examples of classical literary theory are indispensable learning content for drama creation. Due to his professional interests, his horizons have been constantly broadened to cover many fields that have contributed to theatrical creation; Due to years of accumulation, he has achieved the wings of creation and theory, and has achieved the ability and qualifications to gallop in the screenwriting discipline by sitting on a group of books, searching the world on the Internet. The Army believes that there is a good resource library for drama construction screenwriting. After nearly 70 years of teaching on the opera, a complete and systematic discipline system has been formed. The pedagogical reforms of recent years, the mushrooming workshops and laboratories have also provided many new pedagogies with a strong personal style. The army himself continues to innovate on the basis of long-term teaching, such as he used the principle of Occam's razor, "if it is not necessary, do not add entities", designed the screenwriting teaching framework with the simplest and simple theory, and created the "100 Thousand Words Play" screenwriting workshop, which opened students' understanding of the opening of the theater curtain with the three key knowledge points of drama core, drama eye and drama. Once this teaching method with strong personality was put into practice, it received a lot of likes on the Internet, with more than 900,000 hits a week. The stable professional knowledge system and flexible and personalized screenwriting workshops complement each other, promote each other, and each has its own development, which better responds to the training needs of future personalized screenwriting development. In recent years, as the head of the screenwriting discipline, the army has reorganized and published the screenwriting textbooks of Gu Zhongyi, Xiong Fuxi and other senior teachers, and invited many screenwriting masters at home and abroad to give screenwriting experience lectures at the school; edited theatrical story collections of various genres of film and television, drama, opera, dance drama, musical, opera, etc.; compiled multi-volume theoretical materials on theatrical creation after the New Culture Movement; We have collected a wide range of textbooks, tutorials and treatises on screenwriting in domestic and foreign universities. The army's academic horizons are broad, the shot is a set of combination punches, and the publication is a large series of books. More than 100 published textbooks and treatises outline a relatively complete academic framework on screenwriting. These are trivial tasks that take a lot of time to do, selecting, reviewing and proofreading, which he says is systematic reading, collective digestion and line tribute. Competitive sports are competing for the first place, and other rankings are always a little embarrassing in front of the champion's national anthem. The highest state of artistic creation is to create "this one", and the success of other mergers and similar projects may not come from the artist's willingness. It is the value of art to strive to express one's own imagination and create an artistic image of those who have not seen the ancients before and those who have not come after. The novelty of art requires different experiences and insights from others, including thinking at the forefront of the times and a solid theoretical foundation under image thinking. The ambition of the art discipline is to appreciate and absorb the conflicts and collisions of different artistic concepts and academic views, so that latecomers can grow up in the quarrel of giants. Today, many teachers in art colleges and universities are relentlessly seeking new ideas, new methods, new perspectives and new technologies in their respective majors. Today, the West and the East of screenwriting, the theory and practice of screenwriting, the skill training and aesthetic imagination of screenwriters, and the debate on screenwriting have been enriched in all corners, showing strong vitality. In this way, the construction of the discipline family needs to calm down and spend a lot of energy to sort out the theoretical jungle of various sizes; It requires a tolerant mentality, a spirit of sitting on a cold bench and an environment where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. The screenwriter of the play is still on his way to the café. In the mid-19th century, the concept of art science was first proposed by the German art historian Heilmann Heitner. After 160 years, art became an independent discipline in 2011, and together with 12 other disciplines such as literature, philosophy, and economics, it constitutes the framework of Chinese disciplines in contemporary sense. In today's knowledge explosion, the incubation of a new discipline from scratch may not need to be so long, but it is also a long way to grow into a new life, which requires great wisdom, perseverance and courage from many art scholars. Happily, the opera relies on the construction of disciplines, and initially creates an atmosphere with artistic creation as its vocation and academic research as its backing. What is even more gratifying is that the discipline team under the leadership of the Army is getting stronger and stronger, they have won some national, provincial and municipal scientific research projects, and have continuously launched some achievements, such as "Long Compilation of Chinese Modern and Contemporary Screenwriting History", "Screenwriting Journal", "Screenwriting Dictionary", "Introduction to Screenwriting", etc. Another example is the Army's collection of essays on "Screenwriting Essays" that will soon be printed. Although it seems that it does not constitute a rigorous and complete academic system, the manuscript of the book is a collection of his unique thoughts and expressions, and the various aspects covered in its Chinese chapters more or less express the depth and breadth of the discipline he has come into contact with. As an old friend, as in the days of my classmates, I was often the first reader of his articles, and I had tea with him. For this reason, he warmly invited me to write a preface to say something. I gladly complied, but I didn't know what to say. I know that these articles have some unspeakable value beyond their academic significance, where they contain creative talent that has no intention of cutting love, and a sense of great significance. How could the 1982 workbook write "Fun Between Dramas"? What my heart yearned for back then was a kind of drunkenness and relaxation of writing dramas; Today's ambition is a curiosity and excitement that stands at the forefront of the times for the sudden increase in artistic knowledge and innovation. Today's Army professors are galloping through the encyclopedia, exuding strong vitality. I think his music should still be between dramas.
