1980 My literary era

Walking into Renyi again, it was still the familiar conference room.

Lin Weimin sat upright in his seat, his eyes scanning the seniors attending the meeting from time to time, and the eyes of these seniors were also scanning his body.

During this period, "Farewell My Concubine" has aroused concern and controversy among domestic readers, literary circles and the media. Everyone is well aware that regardless of their own feelings about "Farewell My Concubine", these people's opinions on Lin Weimin's creations are very clear. The strength is admirable.

The purpose of everyone coming today is to discuss the script of "Farewell My Concubine". Regarding the use of novel ratings to determine whether the script can be used, we have already told it to the directors and screenwriters in the academy before, and everyone agrees with it. way.

If readers can really give "Farewell My Concubine" such a high score, it will be enough to prove that this work is in line with public aesthetics and needs in terms of quality and the values ​​it spreads.

What's more, everyone has also seen Mr. Wan's commentary article published in Guangming Daily.

Although this is a bit protective, but to be fair, the old gentleman's article is fairly objective and fair.

"If you don't have any objections, then let's let it be decided that I will read the script?" An angry voice sounded in the conference room.

There was silence in the conference room, and no one spoke.

After a pause for a few seconds, Su Zhi saw this and said, "Okay, that's it."

So the decision was made, and no one raised any objections.

After the discussion about the script, everyone knew that there was nothing going on here without them, so they left after the meeting.

So he stopped Ouyang Shanzun, Lan Yinhai, Lin Weimin and others, and asked Lin Weimin, "Weimin, how about handing over this "Farewell My Concubine" to Teacher Ouyang and Teacher Lan?"

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "I feel relieved when I give the script to the two teachers."

With their previous cooperation on "The Intouchables", Lin Weimin gets along very well with Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai, and has great trust in their professional abilities and professionalism.

Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai were also very happy. The play "Intouchable" has been performed this year and has received a lot of praise from the Yanjing literary and art circles. The audience also commented highly on this play. high.

The two of them are the souls of the "Intouchables" crew, and this result is an honor for them.

"Farewell My Concubine" and "The Intouchable" are both written by Lin Weimin, and the quality of the script and reputation among readers are obviously better. If it can be successfully performed in the future, its influence will inevitably be stronger.

When they thought of this, Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai felt itchy and wanted to put this script on the stage immediately.

The two laughed loudly and said, "This is something we both want!"

After confirming the opinions of several key figures in the crew of "Farewell My Concubine", I discussed with them the related matters regarding the formation of the crew.

All other issues are easy to discuss, but when it comes to the selection of the three leading actors, everyone has difficulties.

In "Farewell My Concubine", Lin Weimin portrayed three characters with very personal characteristics and distinctive characteristics, Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou and Juxian.

Cheng Dieyi is the crazy Concubine, Juxian is the real Concubine, and Duan Xiaolou is the fake Overlord.

It is not easy to find actors suitable for these three roles.

"Don't be in a hurry about this, just take your time and make your choice first. There is a movie called "The Intouchables" in the academy this year, which is pretty decent.

The drama "Farewell My Concubine" is the top priority in our courtyard next. My idea is that it will be available in the spring next year, so don't rush it. "

So Zhi's words reflect two important points. First, the performance of "Untouchable" is indeed very good, which makes Renyi's leadership satisfied. Secondly, because of the success of "The Intouchables" and the quality of the text of "Farewell My Concubine", Renyi's leadership is now very enthusiastic about this drama.

"You can't be careless about starring. This play is a three-legged drama, and no one character is weak." Ouyang Shanzun said with a frown.

"Teacher Lin, do you have any opinions?" Lan Yinhai asked.

Lin Weimin shook his head gently, "Let's wait until you find a few alternative actors."

There was no way to figure it out, so Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai could only be asked to prepare the crew first, and the actors would be decided later.

So after Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai left, he took Lin Weimin to Muxidi.

"Mr. Jiabao!"

"teacher!"

When the two entered the door, Mr. Wan was writing in the study.

"Why are you here?" Mr. Wan asked with a smile.

"The script of "Farewell My Concubine" has been finalized. The directors and screenwriters are still Teacher Ouyang and Teacher Lan."

So Zhi said that he dragged Lin Weimin here today just to report this matter to Mr. Wan. Due to the objections of the old comrades in the hospital, the script had been left for a while. Now that it has been decided, it is natural to reply to Mr. Wan.

Mr. Wan nodded slightly and said, "As long as it's settled."

After talking for a while, he stood up and left. His purpose for today had been achieved.

Lin Weimin did not go with him. He still had something to say to Mr. Wan.

"Teacher, thank you this time."

The smile on Mr. Wan's face was as kind as ever, "What do you want to thank me for?"

"You were in the newspaper..."

"Xiao Fangzi also said that I wrote too late."

Lin Weimin said: "How could it be? Without your final say, those criticisms would not have disappeared so easily, and Renyi would not have used this script so happily."

"If I hadn't asked you to write this script, there wouldn't have been so much right and wrong."

"Teacher, don't say that. Even if "Farewell My Concubine" is not changed into a script, it will still be controversial."

There was a hint of disappointment on Mr. Wan's face. He did not accept Lin Weimin's words. Instead, he said: "Actually, I could have explained it to Shizhi that day and said that the script was written at my request. Even if the old comrades in the hospital objected in their hearts, , I have to agree. But I didn’t implement my own ideas. This is my problem.”

Mr. Wan admitted his problem so frankly that Lin Weimin didn't know how to answer the question. He looked at Mr. Wan quietly.

"Haha, as I get older, I have become timid and fearful."

Seeing Mr. Wan's expression full of self-blame and guilt, Lin Weimin was both admired and moved.

"Teacher, don't say that..."

Seeing that his expression was a bit sad, Mr. Wan opened his smile and said, "Hey, don't take the complaints of an old man to heart."

"How about reading the article I published in Guangming Daily?" The old man suddenly showed a narrow smile and asked slightly mischievously.

Lin Weimin showed a knowing smile, just like Commander Tang in "Tunnel War", giving a thumbs up and saying to Mr. Wan: "High! It's really high!"

"Hahaha!"
