1980 My literary era

As for actresses, Lin Weimin is much more familiar with them.

Second grandma!

At this time, Siqin Gaowa had just made her debut. She had just won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress this year with the movie "Camel Xiangzi". She is a newly famous person. Send actress.

Her image and temperament are almost a perfect fit with Cuiping, who is "full of rusticity and hot temper" in the novel.

Lin Weimin was very satisfied with the selection of male and female leading actors, but he was not too concerned about the selection of supporting roles.

Seeing Zhu Lin's name written after "Zuo Lan" on the supporting role list, Lin Weimin smiled and asked: "Zhu Lin is so popular now, is she willing to play this supporting actress?"

Ren Hao said easily: "Why don't you want to? After all, I am famous for playing in your works, Mr. Lin."

"Besides, if you ask her to play the heroine now, she doesn't have time. She is filming a movie, so she only has enough time to play Zuo Lan."

Zhu Lin has become one of the hottest actresses in China since "Cliff" was aired at the end of last year. She has been continuously invited to film and TV series. Although this is still the era of studios, it does not hinder the truly popular actors.

Another familiar name in the cast list is Han Zhuangzhuang. The role of Ma Kui in "Latent" is very suitable for the appearance of the nephew. After two years of training, coupled with the experience of the Spring Festival Gala, the acting skills of the nephew Great progress has been made.

And because he is somewhat famous because of the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Weimin specially let Ren Hao retain such a role.

Teacher Lin protects his own shortcomings and is willing to praise his own family, but he also understands the truth of the situation.

It's good to play a supporting role first so that you become familiar with it.

"Isn't this 'Xie Ruolin' played by anyone?" Lin Weimin asked, pointing to the blank space behind the male supporting actor "Xie Ruolin".

Ren Hao said: "Originally, I had an actor appointed, but I changed my mind at the last minute and went to act in a movie. The actor is still in contact, but it doesn't matter. 'Xie Ruolin' has not many roles, and it is relatively late. We have time."

Lin Weimin thought of Chen Xiaoer, who was currently idle at home.

This guy has become famous since the Spring Festival Gala ended.

As his popularity increased, he also received many invitations to perform in movies and TV series. However, after reading several scripts in succession, Chen Xiaoer became depressed.

It turned out that I was happily thinking that this time I would be on the Spring Festival Gala, I would become famous, and I would be able to play a leading role no matter what.

But he never expected that all the scripts he found asked him to play a buffoon like "Chen Xiaoer", and there was no protagonist.

Chen Xiaoer was so angry that he stayed at home for two or three months. In the past six months, he went to People's Art Theater to play the role of "Yuan Si Ye" in "Farewell My Concubine" for several performances. Now he is following the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" in Yangcheng The show.

This "Xie Ruolin" was handed over to him easily.

With this in mind, Lin Weimin recommended Chen Xiaoer to Ren Hao, "Director Ren, what do you think of Chen Peisi for this role?"

Ren Hao thought about it for a while, not to mention Lin Weimin's face issue, Chen Peisi's image and "Xie Ruolin" are still very compatible.

"I think it's okay. I'll contact him later."

"Let me give him a call. He is performing in Yangcheng, so it's hard to contact him."

"Well, it's up to you."

After talking about "Latent", Lin Weimin borrowed CCTV's phone number and contacted Yangcheng.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the phone rang. Lin Weimin picked up the phone, "Why did you call me back?"

"It's rehearsal, what do you want from me?"

"Would you like to play a role?"

Chen Xiaoer was not interested, "If I were still like 'Chen Xiaoer', I wouldn't act!"

"Qing Qing Gao! You are amazing!" Lin Weimin said sarcastically, and then said: "Have you seen "Latent"?"

"I've seen it!" When he mentioned "Latent", Chen Xiaoer immediately perked up, "What's wrong? You finally figured it out? I'm telling you, I still have to play Yu Zecheng!"

"Go away! The guy who played 'Xie Ruolin' ran away temporarily. Are you going to act?"

Chen Xiaoer on the other end of the phone pondered, "Xie Ruolin?"

He remembered that this character had some comedy elements in the novel, but at the same time he had an above-the-line IQ and was a bit savvy about the world. He was different from the simple buffoons who came to him before.

"Can you act? Don't beg me like I am begging you!" Lin Weimin said impatiently.

"I can act! I can act! I can definitely act!" Chen Xiaoer said hurriedly.

It’s hard to find a character you like, but you can’t miss it easily.

"Weimin, you are my brother!" Chen Xiaoer said disgustingly on the phone.

"Get out!" Lin Weimin scolded, and then reminded: "Come back quickly after the performance, I'm waiting for you to film here."

"No problem! Just tell the director and leave this role to me, and he'll be reassured!"

A few days later, Lin Weimin was reviewing a manuscript with his head down when he heard someone knocking on the door and calling him, "Teacher Lin!"

Looking up, it turned out to be Leng Jiefang.

"Teacher Lin, are you busy?"

"Liberation, what's the matter?"

Leng Jiefang looked at the other people in the office and called Lin Weimin out of the office, looking embarrassed.

"If anything happens, just say it directly!" Lin Weimin said.

Leng Jiefang then said hesitantly: "Teacher Lin, it's been a week since I came out. Over there in the unit..."

Lin Weimin slapped his head, "Look at my memory, I'm really sorry, I even forgot..."

Leng Jiefang hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Lin, you are very busy."

"You come with me!"

Lin Weimin said something to Leng Jiefang and led him into Tan Chaoyang's office.

"Editor-in-Chief, let me make a call!"

"let's hit."

Lin Weimin took the phone receiver and asked, "Your company is the NY city government, right?"

Leng Jiefang was a little confused and nodded subconsciously.

Lin Weimin understood and started dialing.

"Hi, hello, this is National Literature Publishing House, and I am Lin Weimin, deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Contemporary"!"

"Hello, hello. It's like this. In your Propaganda Department, there is a comrade named Comrade Leng Jiefang."

"Yes, that's the comrade who came to Yanjing before."

"It's okay. The manuscript he wrote was picked up by our "Contemporary" magazine, and he stayed here to revise it these days!"

"Ah, yes, it's not easy to come to Yanjing, and the manuscript is urgent. It's not finished yet!"

"That's not true, so our editorial department has to ask for a leave of absence for him."

"Half a month, half a month is almost enough."

"Okay, okay, haha, thank you for your cooperation!"

"I will definitely go to your place to collect information if I have the chance! Okay, okay, bye!"

Teacher Lin hung up the phone with a smile on his face and looked at Leng Jiefang, "Oh! I was busy and forgot before, and I didn't think of asking for a leave from the work for you. Have you been worried these past two days? It's okay this time. Feel free to write in the guest house. If someone disturbs you by making noise, tell me and I will take care of them!"

The smile on Teacher Lin's face was eminent and considerate, and her words were full of warmth like the spring breeze towards comrades.

Leng Jiefang looked at him and was so moved that he was speechless for a long time. He could only hold Teacher Lin's hand.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin!"

"You're welcome. I'm your editor, and it's my job to solve problems for the authors!"

When he said this, Teacher Lin's face shone with divine light!

"Are you relieved this time?"

Leng Jiefang forced out a smile and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

"Teacher Lin, if nothing happens, I will go back upstairs."

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me."

Teacher Lin warned and watched Leng Jiefang walk out of the office.

Turning around, he saw Tan Chaoyang's eyes, which were filled with disdain.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Lao Qin laughed against his will, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Weimin snorted and sighed: "It's only the Spring and Autumn Period that you know I'm guilty of sin!"

At this moment, Teacher Lin’s back was extremely tall.

After a day's work, Lin Weimin went to the Second Entrance Hospital next to the Forbidden City. Recently, Han Zhuangzhuang went to perform out of town with the crew of "Farewell My Concubine". There was no one to take care of him here, so Lin Weimin would take a look every two days.

He entered the courtyard and walked around the houses. Everything was fine. The hundreds of paintings he bought were still lying in the patent leather box.

After staying for a short time, Lin Weimin planned to go home. When he was locking the courtyard door, he heard a surprising voice.

"teacher LIN?"

Lin Weimin turned around and took a look. He looked familiar, but it was hard to recognize him with long hair. He remembered.

"Li Chengru?" Lin Weimin called out the other party's name.

Li Chengru smiled and said, "You have such a good memory!"

"My classmate Zhuang Zhuang, remember! Remember!"

Lin Weimin asked again: "Why are you here?"

"My home is near here."

"What a coincidence!"

Li Chengru glanced at the locked courtyard door behind Lin Weimin, "What are you..."

"I bought a house here and came to take a look today. Why are you going here?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Hey, I have nothing to do and take a walk!"

Lin Weimin glanced at the people on the street. This was not the place to talk, and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Chengru said: "No."

"It's better to rush early than to rush it in time. I haven't eaten yet. Let's have some food together!"

"Don't mention it, I should invite you."

"Okay, please!"

Teacher Lin's routines always catch people off guard.

However, Li Chengru said that treating guests was not a courtesy, so he and Lin Weimin found a private hotel.

"Now, the service in this private restaurant is the best!" Li Chengru sighed after ordering the dishes.

Lin Weimin nodded. It was indeed true. Since Yanjing allowed private parties to enter the catering field in 1980, private restaurants in the city have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, squeezing the business of state-owned hotels.

The restaurant business is all about taste and service.

The taste of most state-owned restaurants is just like that, but the attitude is as good as that of private restaurants. People vote with their feet. The life of state-owned restaurants has become increasingly difficult in the past two years.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two chatted.

Lin Weimin asked about Li Chengru's whereabouts after graduating from Yanying's 80-level amateur acting class and found out that he went to the crew of CCTV's "Journey to the West".

Last year, CCTV was preparing to produce the TV series "Journey to the West". After being introduced by someone, Li Chengru met Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West". He originally planned to interview for a role, but Yang Jie arranged for him to take notes.

Speaking of CCTV's "Journey to the West" TV series, the preparation time is later than that of "A Dream of Red Mansions", but the start-up time is earlier than that of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Compared with the hugely popular "Dream of Red Mansions", the news about the start of filming of "Journey to the West" is not that big.

Preparations for the formation of the team began in February last year, and the filming of the pilot episode "Destroying Demons and Black Chicken Kingdom" started in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in July.

In October, CCTV piloted "Demon Demons" and the response was very enthusiastic. Then the crew went all over the country and filmed several episodes of "Eating Ginseng Fruit", "The Misfortune of Guanyin Temple", "Three Strikes of Bone Demons", and "Guan Feng Bi Ma Wen" during this year.

Now the crew has returned to Yanjing and is using CCTV's No. 1 Studio Hall to shoot the interior scenes of the "Tiangong" in the drama.

"Then you have had a hard enough year!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but sigh when he listened to Li Chengru talking about the places he had traveled with the crew for more than a year.

"Journey to the West" has only been shot for five episodes, but the crew has already traveled to half of China.

Li Chengru said: "It's hard work, but it can also be considered as gaining experience."

Lin Weimin praised: "Okay, if you have this awareness, you will definitely be able to do your job well. No wonder I was promoted to dramaturg!"

"Don't make fun of me. I was hired as a stage manager because the crew was downsizing. My salary hasn't increased much, but my life has increased several times."

After talking about his own situation, Li Chengru asked about Han Zhuangzhuang's situation. He knew that Han Zhuangzhuang entered the People's Arts because of Lin Weimin's relationship.

It’s just that we haven’t kept in touch much since work, so I don’t know much about Han Zhuangzhuang’s current situation.

Li Chengru was surprised when he saw Han Zhuangzhuang appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

He pointed at Han Zhuangzhuang on the TV to show off to his family that he was his classmate, and at the same time he began to lament that it was really different to have a good uncle. Less than two years after graduation, he was already attending CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

And he was still working the lowest level job in the crew.

"Zhuang Zhuang is currently performing in Yangcheng. He played a small role in "Farewell My Concubine" and will be back soon.

I didn’t know that your family lived nearby before, but now it’s better. You can get closer and closer when you come here! "

"That's for sure." Li Chengru said happily.

Not to mention the friendship between classmates, just having such a big uncle like Lin Weimin makes Zhuangzhuang his best brother!
