1980 My literary era

Leng Jiefang muttered the pen name given to him by Lin Weimin: "February River, February River..."

The more I read it, the more artistic and profound it seemed to me. Teacher Lin seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

"Teacher Lin, your name is really good." Leng Jiefang said excitedly.

Lin Weimin was very happy with Leng Jiefang's reaction. It seems that Comrade Jiefang is not so unreasonable!

"You don't know. My hometown is in Shanxi. When I was two years old, I crossed the Yellow River with my parents and went south. After many twists and turns, I finally settled in Nanyang. The pen name of February River just contains the meaning of the mother river in my hometown. It's really good !”

Looking at the pleased and honored expression on Comrade Jiefang's face, Lin Weimin secretly warned that Comrade Jiefang's level of flattery was a bit high!

Lin Weimin went to attend a symposium on "A Dream of Red Mansions" today. He originally took a day off, but he showed up at the Chinese Literature Society in the afternoon.

"Weimin, why are you back at work?" Tan Chaoyang asked in surprise when he saw Lin Weimin in the corridor.

"Something happened."

"What's up?"

Lin Weimin pulled Tan Chaoyang into the office and took out a stack of manuscript paper, "Look at this!"

Qin Chaoyang took the manuscript paper. Did he receive another good manuscript?

He sat back in his chair and flipped through the manuscript.

After reading the first 20,000 to 30,000 words, Qin Chaoyang turned to the last few pages of the manuscript, "Is this novel not finished?"

"Um!"

Lin Weimin nodded and recounted his encounter with Leng Jiefang after today's meeting.

"So, people have been arranged to the guest house now?"

"Um."

"Do you want to publish this novel?"

"Um?"

"Keep him in a dark room forever? Won't he be released until he finishes writing?"

Lin Weimin looked embarrassed, "Leader, who do you think I am?"

"How dare you say you don't think so?" Comrade Lao Qin didn't care about his colleagues' face at all.

Lin Weimin was angry, "I... I'm not doing this all for our publication!"

I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!

Teacher Lin looked up to the sky and sighed!

"Okay, okay!" Tan Chaoyang comforted him: "I know you love your job, are dedicated to your work, work hard, and serve the public wholeheartedly!"

"Look at your unwillingness. If you don't want to praise me, don't praise me!"

Tan Chaoyang glared at him, "De Xing!"

Lin Weimin said sternly: "Is there anything wrong with this novel? I promised that I would publish it!"

Tan Chaoyang said helplessly: "Can you tell me this big talk later? You always do this kind of thing, kill it first and tell it later?"

Lin Weimin's boldness really made Lao Tan both loved and hated.

What I love is that his decisiveness and boldness have brought high-quality manuscripts to "Contemporary" time and time again. What I hate is that he has no organizational discipline and does not take into account the overall work of the editorial department.

"Time waits for no one! After passing this village, there is no such shop. Just tell me how good the quality of this manuscript is?"

Lin Weimin didn't care at all about Lao Tan's nagging. He knew that as long as he got decent manuscripts, Lao Tan would always be very tolerant of him.

Tan Chaoyang's eyes flickered on the manuscript paper, "Well~, if you maintain this level, you can try to publish it."

"What does it mean to try to publish? Yao Xueyin's "Li Zicheng" can win the Yanbing Literature Award."

"Writing a historical novel should win the Yanbing Literature Award?"

"That's not what I meant. I think this novel has the potential to become a work like "Li Zicheng"."

Qin Chaoyang pondered and said: "At the moment, I think it's almost interesting. I just don't know what it will look like when it's finished."

He flipped through the manuscript again and asked, "How long is the plan to write?"

"This is the first volume of four volumes."

Tan Chaoyang looked at Lin Weimin unexpectedly, "Then it must be a million words at least, right?"

"It's hard to say. Looking at the previous contents, the contents of this volume alone are three to four hundred thousand words. After writing all four volumes, it will be a million words."

"Having such ambition and writing skills is worth cultivating!"

A million-word novel is not something that ordinary writers can handle.

Lin Weimin was slightly pleased with himself, "How about I bring the person back!"

"Okay, let him write upstairs with peace of mind."

"Okay!"

Early the next morning, Lin Weimin just entered the office.

Liu Yin asked with a gossipy face: "Weimin, I heard that you picked up an author on the street yesterday?"

Um?

Lao Tan!

Colleagues ignored Lin Weimin's explanation and gathered together to gossip.

Why does compiling a manuscript become so weird when it comes to Lin Weimin?

"Hey, for the people!" Yao Shuzhi called Lin Weimin.

"what?"

Yao Shuzhi threw over a newspaper, it was today's "Yanjing Daily".

The headline of the newspaper article clearly read: "The advisory committee for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was established."

The article is not long, about a thousand words.

The last paragraph mentioned the list of the advisory committee for "Dream of Red Mansions". Among the names of the big names, the three characters "Lin Weimin" were particularly eye-catching and ranked at the bottom of the advisory committee list.

"Okay, now they are all consultants of "Dream of Red Mansions"!" Yao Shuzhi's expression was filled with amazement.

Lin Weimin did not disclose his invitation to become a member of the advisory committee of "Dream of Red Mansions" to the people around him. Today, it was suddenly exposed in the news, and his colleagues and friends were naturally surprised.

Liu Yin and others who were chatting over there found Yao Shuzhi chatting with Lin Weimin and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Yao Shuzhi waved the newspaper in her hand and said, "Stop talking about your trivial matters. Let's see what big things our editor Lin has done quietly!"

Everyone looked confused. Hearing what Yao Shuzhi meant, what big thing had Lin Weimin done?

When they saw the contents of the newspaper in Yao Shuzhi's hand, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

"For the people, is this you?" He Qizhi pointed to the name on the last line and said.

Lin Weimin shrugged, "Yeah."

Zhu Changsheng followed closely: "How can you join the advisory committee?"

"Why can't I be on the advisory board?"

Liu Yin said: "Look at the names in front of you, why did you get in?"

"You are just calling a dog to look down on others!" Lin Weimin scolded fiercely.

The crowd was not angry, but continued to say sarcastically: "I have to look down on you, and I don't even look at who is in front of you!"

Everyone was discussing it and they all agreed that the credibility of the advisory committee list had been greatly reduced because of the inclusion of Lin Weimin, a rat.

"Okay, okay, I admit it. I just got in. Who gave me a good teacher!"

Lin Weimin had no choice but to put on a conceited attitude, which made everyone hate him!

The chat in the office did not cause any waves, but the news reported by the Yanjing Daily today did attract the attention of many people.

The news that "Dream of Red Mansions" will be adapted into a TV series has been circulating for several years. News has been coming out intermittently since the year before last. This year, the news is particularly frequent, one after another.

The common people and the cultural circles all know that the birth of the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series is getting closer and closer, so they are naturally more concerned about it.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" requires an expert advisory group to be set up for the filming of the TV series, and the experts invited are all well-known experts in the domestic cultural field. Everyone is happy to see this happen.

Ordinary people are actually not familiar with most experts, and they only believe in media reports.

The newspaper said that the experts invited were all experts at the leading level, that is, experts at the leading level.

In the past few years, Lin Weimin's works have become more and more popular. His published works often sell millions of copies. However, compared with China's population of over one billion, even if this number is increased ten times, it still seems negligible.

There are many literature lovers, but there are more ordinary people.

Lin Weimin's name is well-known among literature lovers across the country, but among ordinary people who only care about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, he still seems not well-known.

When many people see Lin Weimin's name, their first reaction is that they are still unfamiliar. Only when they ask the literature lovers around them, they will know that this is a writer.

When I took a closer look, I was even more surprised to find out that he was still so young.

Compared with other experts on the advisory committee, Lin Weimin is so young that he can almost be regarded as their grandson.

Lin Weimin's name once again appeared on a large scale in front of ordinary people across the country.

The last time it had this level of exposure was the small line of text at the beginning of the TV series when "The Cliff" was on the air.

Two days later, the editorial department of "Contemporary" received a call.

It is said that the Federation of Literary and Art Circles of Yanjing, Tianjin, and Northern Hebei jointly held an "Urban Literature Theory Symposium" in Beidaihe, and invited Lin Weimin to attend the meeting.

Lin Weimin held the phone and scratched his head.

Urban literary theory?

What is this?

After asking a few questions carefully, it turns out that daring to be affectionate is a newly proposed concept.

The call to invite Lin Weimin was not without purpose, but they planned to bring Lin Weimin's "Speak Well" to the symposium and discuss it as a typical representative of "urban literature" to explore the concept of "urban literature". Issues such as concept, scope and characteristics.

"Speak Well" has not received much attention and influence among Lin Weimin's works. Even after its publication, the sales volume was at the bottom. Novels with this theme have a certain audience limit in the domestic novel market. sex.

Lin Weimin was surprised to receive the invitation this time, but he still politely declined the kindness of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

A trip to Beidaihe will take at least a few days. If you have that time, you might as well rest for a few days.

Since becoming famous, Lin Weimin has received invitations to various events such as pen meetings, symposiums, creative meetings, and training meetings almost every few days, sometimes even every day.

Lin Weimin refused all these activities without exception.

As an organizer, he organizes these activities entirely out of public concern.

But for him, such activities are too time-consuming and energy-consuming.

Compared with this kind of activity, he prefers gatherings with three or five friends.

The next day, Lin Weimin went to CCTV.

This time it is not about "Dream of Red Mansions". At the moment, the screenwriter team of "Dream of Red Mansions" is taking the time to write the script, and the script is also intensively preparing for filming and selecting actors.

He came here this time for the TV series "Insidious".

Compared with the hugely popular "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series, the work of the "Latent" crew seems much more low-key, somewhat like a grandma who doesn't care and an uncle who doesn't love.

This is also true. For the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series, CCTV spent 5 million with a wave of its hand. In this era of Chinese television industry, this is a record-breaking number.

In the next few years, this number will rise to 6.8 million yuan due to various unexpected circumstances after filming, making "A Dream of Red Mansions" the most expensive TV series of this era.

As for "Latent", although director Wang Feng personally hired director Ren Hao, obtained adaptation authorization from Lin Weimin, and hired senior screenwriter Tang Peilin, the total investment was only a mere 300,000.

Compared with "A Dream of Red Mansions", one is in the sky and the other is in the earth.

Even compared with other TV series invested by CCTV, it is not outstanding.

The reason is that the scenes involved in "Insidious" are too small, and even the protagonist's costume is more than one level behind "Cliff".

There is really no place to spend money!

I met several behind-the-scenes creators of the crew at the broadcasting compound, and the communication was smooth.

Screenwriter Tang Peilin spent half a year working on the script for "Latent", and the effect of the script was very much in line with Lin Weimin's expectations.

After the script was finalized, Ren Hao and Lin Weimin discussed the actors.

During the time when Tang Peilin was writing the script, the crew of "Latent" was not idle either. All preparatory work had been completed and all that was left was the final confirmation of the cast list.

This time, Ren Hao chose Li Zhiyu and Siqin Gaowa as the male and female protagonists.

Lin Weimin is familiar with the actor Li Zhiyu, having seen his performances in "The Distressed Smile" and "Bashan Night Rain".

He has an elegant temperament and is very suitable for playing the role of a scholar and intellectual.

What impressed Lin Weimin the most was his role as Qiu Shi in "Bashan Night Rain". Many close-ups and close-ups delicately interpreted the character's complex inner world, giving his character a deep and restrained feel. Characteristics, very skillful.

Regardless of the preconceived impression of the small-eyed version of Yu Zecheng before time travel, Li Zhiyu is still relatively consistent with the image of Yu Zecheng in the novel "Latent". The only drawback is that he is older.

But the good thing about male actors is that age has little impact on their image on screen.
