1980 My literary era

After coming out of the "Black and White Zombie" video studio, Lin Weimin had an overview of the entire building.

Fang Yihua also planned to treat Lin Weimin to lunch, and then visit the other two production branches in the afternoon.

Lin Weimin glanced at his watch and said, "I'm really sorry. Miss Fang, I'm here with a group and I'm on a tight schedule. We have to gather and leave for the airport in the afternoon. I'm afraid we won't be able to visit anymore."

After a few polite words, Fang Yihua said: "Then I will arrange a car to take you back!"

Lin Weimin did not refuse Fang Yihua's arrangement. He was not familiar with the place in Xiangjiang and it was quite difficult when he came. It would be best to have someone to accompany him.

On the way, Lin Weimin asked the driver to help him find a wheelchair specialty store.

"Hello, I want to buy a wheelchair! I want it to be better!"

The staff first showed Lin Weimin two wheelchairs imported from the United States. These two wheelchairs were definitely not good. They looked very expensive at first glance, and Tie Sheng would not want them.

Lin Weimin looked around the display area, selected a wheelchair, pointed at it and said, "Take this for me to see!"

The staff pushed a simple-looking wheelchair over.

"Sir, this is Ni Hong Sangui's wheelchair. The entire body is made of ultra-high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy frame. It will never rust or fade. The seat back cushions are made of carefully selected high-tensile linings. No matter how long you sit, it will never fade. Sag. The wavy resin handrails of the armrests are ergonomically designed to fit the palms..."

The staff chattered on to the side, and Lin Weimin sat directly in the wheelchair and felt it for a while.

It is light and comfortable to sit on, and flexible and light to walk on.

"Okay, that's it!"

Lin Weimin interrupted the staff's introduction and said happily.

The staff took Lin Weimin to issue the invoice and pay. Lin Weimin said to the cashier: "Please write down the number a little less. I want to give this thing away."

The cashier asked the store manager for permission before agreeing.

After buying things, Lin Weimin only remembered when he saw the shopping mall next to him. It seemed that he hadn't bought anything with his girlfriend yet.

Ocean Terminal is one of the earliest shopping malls in Xiangjiang. Because it is old enough, a shopping area has spontaneously formed around it.

Among all shopping malls, the traditional British-owned high-end department store Lane Buddha is unique.

Lin Weimin chose a women's watch from Longines, with a round dial, a gold-plated exterior, and a black leather strap. It would look great on his girlfriend's fair, tender wrist.

After taking the car back to the hotel downstairs, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Weimin found a place to have a bite to eat before taking his things upstairs.

Zhang Guangnian saw Lin Weimin and said, "Why are you back? We're leaving in an hour. I almost asked someone to find you."

"I'm back now!"

Lin Weimin said a few words to Zhang Guangnian, put down the wheelchair he just bought, and said to Shi Tiesheng, "Tiesheng, come and see what good things I bought for you?"

Lin Weimin unpacked the wheelchair as he spoke. Shi Tiesheng saw the exposed wheelchair and said unexpectedly: "Why did you buy a wheelchair?"

"When I came back, I passed by the mall and there was a wheelchair store there with a special price!"

Shi Tiesheng looked at the wheelchair. It looked simple and unpretentious, but it also felt very high-quality.

"Foreign goods, right? How much does it cost?"

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "How many of the things I bought in Xiangjiang are not foreign products? The one in Nihong is cheap, only 220 yuan!"

Shi Tiesheng nodded when he heard this. The imported items only cost 220 yuan, which was indeed not expensive.

With his preconceived impression, Shi Tiesheng had no doubt that there would be a problem with the price of the wheelchair.

Lin Weimin couldn't wait to carry Shi Tiesheng to the new wheelchair and pushed him around the corridor several times.

When the two were testing the wheelchair in the corridor, Huang Anyi leaned at the door and looked at them with a relaxed smile.

"How is it? How do you feel?" Lin Weimin asked excitedly.

Shi Tiesheng held his hand on the armrest and patted it again, "Don't tell me, this kid's stuff is really good. It's not expensive and it's quite comfortable to sit on."

Lin Weimin said happily: "You get what you pay for. For two hundred and twenty Hong Kong dollars, it would cost you one hundred and twenty yuan faster to exchange it on the black market!"

This year, the official price of RMB and Hong Kong dollar is 1:2.5, but ordinary people basically have to go to the black market to actually exchange Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is more than 30%.

"I'll give you the money when I get back!"

"Where's your money?" Lin Weimin asked.

When Lin Weimin and his group of writers came to visit Hong Kong, they received a daily subsidy of 30 Hong Kong dollars, and each person also had a foreign exchange quota of 300 Hong Kong dollars.

For a five-day trip, a total of 450 Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange can be used.

Shi Tiesheng was a little embarrassed and took out a Walkman.

When Lin Weimin saw the Walkman, he frowned and said, "I'm not telling you, you're too spoiled to that girl. He said he wanted to buy a Walkman, so just buy it for him!"

“It’s not easy to come to Xiangjiang!”

Lin Weimin said helplessly: "Okay. You don't have to worry about paying for the wheelchair. I guess this Walkman has squeezed you dry!"

Shi Tiesheng sighed and said, "That's right! The little devil is really shady. He just bought something like this for more than 500 Hong Kong dollars. I had to borrow some from Mo Yan."

I was praising others when I was sitting in a wheelchair just now.

Lin Weimin said: "Just be content. This is bought in Xiangjiang. You bought it at the Friendship Store. This thing costs one thousand and fifty, and it must be a foreign exchange certificate!"

As he spoke, Lin Weimin called Mo Yan over and gave him the money Shi Tiesheng borrowed from him.

"Just owe me what you owe me! You'll save yourself the trouble of paying back the money!"

Shi Tiesheng nodded and said: "Okay!"

Lin Weimin said to Mo Yan again: "You lent it to Tie Sheng and didn't buy anything yourself?"

"I bought it. I bought less and I didn't use up the money."

Several writers in the group, including Huang Anyi, went to Lin Weimin to exchange some Hong Kong dollars the day before yesterday. Everyone knew that he was a wealthy person and was never short of money, let alone foreign exchange.

This time when I came to Xiangjiang, everyone except Mo Yan didn’t have enough foreign exchange.

The young man is a man of life!

Lin Weimin asked again: "When I go back, I want to finish writing "Red Sorghum" as soon as possible. We will publish it in "Contemporary" and "Bafang". If you publish a manuscript twice, you will make a lot of money!"

Mo Yan couldn't help but scratch his head and laugh.

He really didn't expect that a visit to Xiangjiang would be such a good thing.

"Red Sorghum Family" was the goal he set for himself after entering the military arts, to write a full-length novel.

The entire novel is planned into five parts, and the first part "Red Sorghum" will be written soon.

Compared with the entire "Red Sorghum Family", the content of "Red Sorghum" has a certain degree of independence and can be published as a novella.

Considering that "Red Sorghum" has more than 100,000 words, it can earn more than 1,000 yuan in royalties from "Contemporary" alone.

If it were published in Hong Kong, Teacher Lin said that the manuscript fee would be at least several thousand Hong Kong dollars. Mo Yan was excited just thinking about it.

"Okay, Teacher Lin!"

After packing their things, the group set off and the bus took everyone to the airport.

The return flight arrived in Shanghai. When they were leaving, Huang Anyi asked Lin Weimin while Shi Tiesheng was not paying attention.

"Isn't that wheelchair expensive?"

When Lin Weimin heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he blinked at her.

Huang Anyi smiled tacitly.

This man is so annoying when he is clumsy, but he is so charming when he is as thoughtful as a hair.

The writers group parted in Shanghai, and Lin Weimin and his party took a plane back to Yanjing again.

Arriving at the airport, Lin Weimin drove everyone away again. It was already evening.

After a good night's rest, he appeared at the Chinese Literature Society again.

In the past few days when Lin Weimin was away, colleagues from the Chinese Literature Society were looking forward to him.

Early in the morning, he drove a car, appeared alone and elegantly at the Chinese Literature Society, and was surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Weimin is back?"

"came back!"

"You came back alone?"

This question was very artistic. Lin Weimin said: "Don't worry, everyone. The things are still on the way and will arrive in a few days. There are too many things and I can't carry them by myself, so I can only ask for help."

After returning to the Chinese Literature Society to report his arrival, Lin Weimin ran to CCTV in the afternoon and found the director Wang Feng. He also had an errand on his back!

After Wang Feng listened to Lin Weimin's explanation of the whole story, he looked thoughtful and pondered for a long time.

"This matter is a big one and I can't decide. I'm afraid I have to report it to the superiors!"

Lin Weimin said: "My idea is this. We don't want to talk to the superiors about long-term cooperation right from the beginning. We can try to have a temporary cooperation with TVB first. Let's try the TV series I promised Mr. Shao Yifu. Test the waters. TVB and CCTV will first agree on a cooperation model and give it a try. If it is feasible, then the cooperation relationship will be deepened."

Wang Feng nodded and said: "This is a mature and prudent approach, and this matter will be of great benefit to us at CCTV. Later, we will hold an internal meeting to form a unified opinion, and then report it to the department."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Wang Feng asked again: "Have you agreed to have any ideas for the script from TVB?"

"I heard that your CCTV has introduced a TV series by Ni Hong!"

"You mean "Axin's Story"?"

Lin Weimin nodded and said: "I heard that this TV series has received unprecedented popularity in the market. This kind of female inspirational TV series has a huge audience!"

"Indeed. When this drama was broadcast on NiHong two years ago, the ratings once exceeded 63%. It is one of the most popular dramas in the history of NiHong TV series. This is one of the reasons why we decided to introduce this TV series. .What? You want to write a script about this subject?"

Lin Weimin said: "I have this plan, but I have to make some changes."

"What changes?"

"This TV series will naturally be co-produced in two places, so the tastes of the audiences in both places must be taken into consideration. "Axin's Story" is a modern drama. If we also make a modern drama, should the story be set in the mainland or in Hong Kong? "

Wang Feng looked thoughtful, "This is indeed a problem. What do you think?"

"my thoughts……"
