1980 My literary era

Backstage at the Capital Theater, the actors were taking off their makeup and changing clothes, and were discussing with each other the situation during the performance and the audience's reaction. It was obvious that everyone was very excited.

Seeing Lin Weimin coming to the backstage, everyone stood up and said hello.

Although Lin Weimin is not very old, his ability as a screenwriter is obvious to all and he has won everyone's respect.

Today's performance is a success, and Lin Weimin's script is one of the most important factors.

"Teacher Lan, you did a great job!" Lin Weimin said to Lan Tianye.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin." His face was mixed with excitement and exhaustion. A drama performance of more than an hour is a hard work for anyone, not to mention that Lan Tianye is already over 50 years old.

Li Guangfu was sitting next to Lan Tianye. He smiled and asked Lin Weimin: "Teacher Lin, what do you think of my performance?"

"Very good, better than I expected."

Hearing his affirmation, Li Guangfu felt happy. He had been holding his breath since the rehearsal. Now he has been recognized by Lin Weimin and the audience. Finally, the hard work these days has not been in vain.

After half an hour of busy backstage, Lin Weimin thought that everyone was leaving, and he was ready to leave.

But the situation is that the actors are still in high spirits and have no intention of going home.

Seeing his confusion, Lan Tianye asked, "Mr. Lin, do you know which medicine is prescribed most every year in our Renyi clinic?"

Lin Weimin shook his head.

"Valium!"

Lin Weimin frowned. If he remembered correctly, diazepam tablets are Western medicines that can relieve anxiety, pain, and have sedative and hypnotic effects.

"Look at the time, it's usually around nine o'clock when we finish our show in the evening, and it's around ten o'clock when we get home after lazing around backstage.

Usually at this time, many actors are still immersed in their characters and are so excited that they cannot sleep at all. Some people can lie in bed for hours to fall asleep, some people have to wait until midnight, and some even stay awake all night. Insomnia all night long.

In this case, Diazepam becomes everyone’s best friend in helping you sleep. "

Lan Tianye's expression showed a bit of pity when he said this.

Lin Weimin was full of admiration for the dedication of this group of actors. If they didn't really devote themselves to their roles and performances, how could they have been unable to sleep all night?

Lin Weimin returned home, still feeling a little uneasy, not only for the success of today's performance, but also for the dedication and dedication of the staff in front of and behind the scenes.

I hope this drama can continue to be performed.

Two days later, news about the performance of "The Intouchables" appeared on the major media pages in Yanjing.

There is no Internet these days, and even television is not popular. The biggest impact on the people is newspapers, magazines and other paper media.

The media's comments on "The Intouchables" are almost all praise, saying that this drama is a rare drama launched by Renyi in recent years.

"The Intouchables" is completely in line with the values ​​​​and tastes of domestic audiences under Lin Weimin's magic modification.

With the help of the media, the performance of "The Intouchables" quickly entered a sold-out mode, and within a week it was hard to get a ticket.

Many colleagues in the club approached Lin Weimin and asked him to help get some tickets. Lin Weimin found Renyi and sold a lot of face, but he could only get three or five tickets.

There were too many wolves and not enough meat, so everyone was left wondering what to do.

That afternoon, when I was about to get off work, my colleagues were deserting and chatting away again.

The topic is naturally indispensable, Lin Weimin, who has become popular in the Yanjing drama circle recently because of his drama "The Intouchables".

Yao Shuzhi asked in a gossipy manner: "Hey, Weimin, how much royalties did your drama give you?" ’

"Three hundred dollars."

"That's not much!" Yao Shuzhi said.

Liu Yin smiled and said: "Silly girl, you don't know this, right? The royalties from Renyi are only part of what Wei Min can get, and they also get dividends from every performance they perform for People."

"That's it!" Yao Shuzhi glared at Lin Weimin, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You're asking about the royalties, not the share of the work."

"You..." Yao Shuzhi glared at him fiercely.

"Hey, Weimin..." Liu Yin called Lin Weimin.

"What?"

"Can you get me two tickets?"

Lin Weimin smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, you are making things difficult for me. There are so many colleagues in the company looking for me, how many tickets have you seen me get?"

Liu Yin said: "Is it really that difficult? I thought you were just perfunctory with them."

"What the hell, everyone finally spoke up, but it's true that we can't get the tickets."

Lin Yin sighed and said regretfully: "If I had known it was so popular, I should have asked you to get some tickets immediately after the performance. Your performance will only last for more than half a month, right? It seems like we can only wait until next year."

The performance cycle of each drama in Renyi is generally half a month, and the number of performances of each drama rarely exceeds 20 per year.

"Teahouse" is a popular play of the People's Arts Festival. It has only been performed for more than 200 performances more than 20 years ago.

Yao Shuzhi said: "It's only been more than half a month, so your performance share for the people won't be much!"

Before Lin Weimin could speak, Liu Yin said: "People have a long history. "Teahouse" has been performed for more than 20 years. If Weimin's play is popular, it can be performed in 30 to 50 years. Are you afraid of running out of money?"

"That's true."

Rong Shihui summed it up with a smile: "It's called serving the people, writing a play will last a lifetime!"

Colleagues all looked envious.

Lin Weimin was the only one with an indifferent expression. Renyi paid 300 yuan for the royalties for "The Intouchables", and the performance share was 5 yuan per performance. Twenty performances per year only cost 100 yuan.

Even if prices soar in the future, the income brought to him will be visible to the naked eye, and there will be no surprises or surprises.

He has handed over the script of "Farewell My Concubine" to Renyi. The total number of words will be 30,000, and the manuscript fee will still be 300 yuan.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but sigh, no matter now or in future generations, those who engage in drama are always so poor.

Even if it is Happy Twist that became popular all over the country in later generations, people who take a purely commercial route still have to rely on film and television adaptations to make money.

After chatting with colleagues, it was time to get off work. Lin Weimin walked out of the back building carrying a black leather bag. Along the way, he met many colleagues who were off work. They all nodded to say hello and chatted for a few words.

When passing by the front building, Uncle Zhai's voice came from the reception room, "For the people! Wait a minute!"

Lin Weimin turned around and looked, Uncle Zhai was lying on the small window, "Uncle Zhai, what's the matter?"

"Someone just happened to be looking for you!"

Find me? Who can find someone at this time?

Lin Weimin was puzzled and took a few steps back, about to walk into the reception room.

Unexpectedly, the door of the communication room was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Lin Weimin only felt a gust of air blowing towards his face. A dark figure rushed towards him in front of him. Before he could see the person clearly, he subconsciously wanted to go there. Flash away once.

It's a pity that his movements were a step too slow after all, and he was grabbed into his arms by a small mountain-like figure and hugged him tightly.

"Uncle, I've finally found you!"
