Information about Fan Yiping

Although more than 20 years have passed, the writer Fan still hasn't forgotten the scene when he was creating in his hometown Du 'an Cultural Center: "At that time, in order to exchange literature, everyone usually met somewhere on the polder day by bike, took out works written with manuscript paper and circulated them to each other. Literary friends who were engaged in creation always cared for each other and encouraged each other ..." 5438+012 ~ 65438. "Du 'an writers group. Famous literary experts from inside and outside the region, such as Xiao Jianguo, Tian Ying, Rongben Town, Dongxi and Huang Peihua, gathered together to discuss the wonderful figures in the literary map of Guangxi, such as Lan, Lan, Fan, Wei Junhai, Pan Hongri, Li Yueruo, Lu Chengpin, Zhou Long and Lan Weiwei.

As the backbone of today's Du 'an Writers Group, Fan said, "My hometown is the poorest mountain area in China, and it is called' nine points of stone and one point of soil'. Writing used to be the only way to change fate, so that it was passed down from generation to generation and set an example for each other. There is a literary tradition in Du 'an, known as Bunuyao's hometown in China. " For many people, studying hard is the only choice to change their destiny. "Getting rid of poverty" has become the dream of many people.

"Literature has changed my destiny" For many people in mountainous areas, Fan is lucky.

In the past, Guangxi writer Fan was not well known. Today, many people know the movie "Looking for a Gun"-Yiping, a fan, came into public view because of the release of the movie "Looking for a Gun". Later, the film The Barber set off the contradiction between Chen Yifei and Jiang Wen. After Chen Yifei's sudden death during filming, the name "Fan", as a screenwriter, appeared more frequently in the related news of film and entertainment circles.

Fan was still an unknown middle school teacher, and he was not afraid to talk about the "motivation and ambition" of writing. "It was an era when publishing a work could be mobilized. There were many examples before me. I follow their example and even want to surpass them. "

Later, Fan published literary works in Guangxi Literature, Poetry Magazine, Dangdai, October, Youth Literature, Shanghai Literature, Novelist and other well-known journals, including the novel Kneeling, Notes of Transsexuals, Rhyme, and novellas Looking for a Gun and Barber. Fan's life really changed quietly with the publication of a certain work. First, I transferred from a rural middle school to a county cultural center as a creator. 199 1, from Du 'an to Nanning, the provincial capital. "17 years, I still remember the scene when I left Duan: I didn't have time to say goodbye to my friends, and my mood was relaxed and heavy. When I arrived at Nanning bus station, I only had 50 yuan money in my pocket. " Fan said.

After arriving in Ning, Fan devoted himself to writing, won the bronze drum award, the highest prize in Guangxi literature and art, and was adapted into 20 TV dramas of the same name. The novel Looking for a Gun was adapted into the movie Looking for a Gun, and the novel Barber was adapted into a movie of the same name. At present, "Wocun", starring actor Jiang and filmed in Bama, is being filmed in Beijing. Fans revealed that the film is likely to return to Guangxi for its premiere because of him. "Literary works have entered the film and television industry. I have done this in several novels, so some people say that I am very lucky, the director is the person who brings me luck, and the film and television industry is my blessed land. I am very grateful to those who have promoted the development of film and television, because without the promotion of film and television, I would not have my current fame, my book would not be published rashly, and my life would not be better than in the past. "

"Du 'an Spirit" in Literary Creation

"Since I chose literature, sometimes it can't be so realistic." Fan said that not everyone who walks on the road of literature can easily realize his ideal. "I won't say the royalties of foreign writers, but in China, writing a short story can only cost a meal; Writing a novella takes about half a month's living expenses, and writing a long story in a year or two is probably sick enough, because when a writer tries his best to write a long story, most of them are already sick. " There are also many writers living in extreme poverty in the local area.

The initial stage of creation is always extremely difficult and painful. Fan still remembers the first time he came to Nanning. "Others invited him to dinner, he is very earthy, and he doesn't know many dishes on the food table. He has always felt that he is a' lonely person'. " However, all this failed to shake Fan's unswerving pursuit of literature. Under the most embarrassing circumstances, Fan Yiping, who often "passes by" to work hard at home, has been encouraged by many predecessors and literary friends from all walks of life-brother, you have to hold on!

Children from poor families in mountainous areas can bear hardships the most. "Sometimes I think that only Du 'an people who have lived in the corner of the mountain can stand such hardships. This is a kind of' Du 'an spirit', and the formation of' Du 'an writers group' is not unrelated to this persistence spirit."

Encourage the younger generation of "writers" to be "top-notch"

Never forget the poverty in your hometown. Fan has a joke that has been mentioned many times in the seminar of "Du 'an Writers Group"-after becoming a "famous writer", Fan bought a car, and he often drives himself back to his hometown of Du 'an. The running-in period of the new car hasn't passed yet, and he has returned it more than a dozen times. Once, when he went to the county toll booth, he deliberately asked in "rolling Mandarin": "Miss, what city is ahead?" The toll collector glanced at Fan's bald head and immediately changed Mandarin into Zhuang language, saying, "You come back three times a week, and you have to ask me where is in front!" Fan Yiping's Zhuang language also blurted out: "Miss, I didn't expect you to speak a foreign language."

When Fan heard people telling this joke, he smiled and didn't refute it, because even a joke at least reflected Fan's love for his hometown. Fan even proudly told reporters that it was difficult for an author to meet an editor of a literary publication in the past, but now at least half of the people sitting in the editorial department of Guangxi Literature are naturalized writers. Everyone joked that they can even speak in Zhuang when they hold regular meetings every week. This seminar also specially arranged a "trip to Fan's hometown". Fan Yiping was a little reluctant at first: "It's really a bit shabby there!" Later, the accompanying person exclaimed: "There is a Bijia Mountain in front of your ancestral home, and there will be famous literati here." Fan Yiping said with a smile, "If someone had told me earlier, I think I wouldn't have to work so hard." But this sentence is obviously not from Fan's heart, because at the seminar, facing the descendants of the "Duan writers group" sitting under the podium, he added: "Although we are now a" group ",we must clearly recognize our own shortcomings, have a strong sense of crisis, and strive to achieve first-class creation ... because even though we are a group, individuals still have to walk on the road of literature.
