1980 My literary era

Chapter 360: Without the drama, it’s nothing

There were many theater fans standing at the entrance of the Capital Theater. Together with Lin Weimin and others, the entrance was completely blocked. From a distance, one could not tell what was going on.

Lin Weimin stood in the crowd, while Han Zhuangzhuang stood one meter in front of him pushing his motorcycle, his eyebrows drooping and his eyes silent.

The scene was very quiet. Under Lin Weimin's strong aura, no one dared to speak.

Lin Weimin raised his hand and glanced at his watch again. He said to the fans watching: "You two go and tell Director Ouyang that Battelle will be replaced in the B role today!"

Two young guys immediately rushed into the theater from the crowd. They couldn't miss such a good opportunity to go backstage.

"Eh..." Han Zhuangzhuang raised his head and wanted to stop them, but stopped shouting under Lin Weimin's stern eyes.

Lin Weimin said in a deep voice: "It's 7:12 now, and there are still 18 minutes before the show starts. It takes you three minutes to run from here to the backstage, the first three minutes to change the line, and the fastest ten minutes to put on makeup. There are still two more minutes. The show started in a minute and you couldn't even breathe, are you going to perform in this state?"

If you didn't hold me back, it would have been twenty-one minutes.

Han Zhuangzhuang only dared to say this in his heart.

"You let me finish the performance first, and the performance will start immediately. When the performance is over, you can scold me as much as you want." Han Zhuangzhuang said with an anxious look on his face.

"Are you anxious now? What have you been doing so long ago? Do you really think this drama can't be played without you?

Do you think you become a celebrity just because you appeared on the Spring Festival Gala or acted in a TV series? Lin Weimin sternly scolded.

Han Zhuangzhuang has a majestic figure. At first glance, he looks like an upright man. At this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head after being trained by Lin Weimin. The contrast was full.

Many of the cast and crew of "The Legend of a Female Doctor" met Lin Weimin for the first time today. He is handsome, young, and smiles with everyone he meets. They thought he was a nice gentleman, but they didn't expect him to be so scary when he loses his temper.

Zhang Guorong looked at Wang Mingquan with a somewhat questioning look.

It was his first time to come to the Mainland, and he had never thought that Mainland screenwriters had such bad tempers and had terrifying powers.

Just because an actor is late, he won't be allowed to act because he says he won't be allowed to act?

Wang Mingquan was also a little trembling. She had only met Lin Weimin a few times, but had she ever seen such a violent side of Lin Weimin.

The little sheep-like Li Meixian on the side was even more trembling. Thinking of how she had spoken so carelessly just now, she couldn't help but regret it secretly. She would not dare to speak nonsense again in the future.

After getting angry for a few words, Lin Weimin did not continue to scold him.

There were too many people in front of the Capital Theater and the occasion was inappropriate.

After scolding Han Zhuangzhuang, he returned to his smile and led everyone into the Capital Theater.

Han Zhuangzhuang wanted to sneak backstage, but under Lin Weimin's gaze, he followed the team and entered the performance hall.

"Horse Trapper" is a big show. After the performance of more than three hours, the Capital Theater burst into applause.

A group of cast and crew members from Hong Kong were sitting in the front row, and many audience members stood up and applauded.

The atmosphere of watching the show in the Capital Theater was very pious, which naturally infected them.

When the actors took their curtain call, several young people including Zhang Guorong and Li Meixian shouted excitedly, but they were inconspicuous amidst the thunderous applause.

Han Zhuangzhuang stood in the audience, looking at his colleagues on the stage who were taking the curtain call, especially the B character, and felt very uncomfortable. That was supposed to be his role.

He completely understood his uncle's intention.

Even though you are the protagonist, without you, the play will be the same, but without you, the play will be nothing!

The curtain call ends and the audience exits.

Lin Weimin asked Han Zhuangzhuang to wait for him backstage, and he left the performance hall first to see off many cast and crew members of "The Biography of a Female Doctor".

Huang Yihe smiled happily when he left.

Han Zhuangzhuang's interlude was accidental, but it taught the crew a good lesson in Xiangjiang.

When people from Hong Kong come to the mainland these days, they will unconsciously adopt a condescending attitude. We have just been working together these days, so there may not be any problems.

As time goes by, conflicts can easily arise.

But after Lin Weimin got angry today, Huang Yihe observed that many people who were originally somewhat arrogant immediately became docile.

This is definitely an unexpected surprise for the crew.

After seeing off the person who sent "The Biography of a Female Doctor" away, Lin Weimin returned to the backstage.

It's now past eleven o'clock in the evening, but most of the actors backstage are waiting here.

This group of people are all night owls in their professional habits. Many of them suffered from insomnia when they returned home at night. There happened to be something exciting backstage today, so they simply didn’t leave.

When Lin Weimin came in, Ouyang Shanzun was sitting on a chair, and Han Zhuangzhuang stood beside him, dejected, obviously having withstood a storm.

"Teacher Ouyang, I'm really sorry!" Lin Weimin said.

Ouyang Shanzun waved his hand and said: "This is Zhuangzhuang's mistake."

Lin Weimin looked at Han Zhuangzhuang and cursed again.

“Look at the actors backstage, which one doesn’t change clothes, put on makeup, and wait an hour or two in advance?

What kind of wrist are you? Make a group of people wait for you? If you can't act, don't act. It's the same for everyone if you leave this drama!

…”

The deafening curses resounded through the backstage of the Capital Theater, making all the actors watching the show tremble with fear.

Han Zhuangzhuang knew that he was in the wrong today and did not dare to raise his head after being scolded.

Lin Weimin scolded him until the end. Even Ouyang Shanzun couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and pulled him to sit down, urging him to calm down.

After scolding for a long time, Lin Weimin finally finished his scolding and said to Ouyang Shanzun: "Don't let him participate in the remaining performances of "Horse Trapper" this year."

"This..." Ouyang Shanzun hesitated, "I don't think it's necessary. I understand the situation, and it can be considered excusable."

"I think it's necessary."

At Lin Weimin's insistence, the role of Battle was replaced by the B character in the next scenes of "Horse Trapper".

It was already past twelve o'clock when Han Zhuangzhuang followed Lin Weimin and came out of the Capital Theater.

At this time, Lin Weimin finally asked him why he was late today.

In July, Han Zhuangzhuang and Yin Geli first returned to Shanghai to host a few banquets, and then went to Austria. They did not return until the end of August, and held another banquet in Yanjing. The marriage was finally completed.

He had a friend in Shanghai who had missed a banquet in Shanghai when he was young. He came to Yanjing on a business trip yesterday and Han Zhuangzhuang invited him to a meal.

Fa Xiao was on the train this afternoon. Han Zhuangzhuang thought he had enough time, so he sent Fa Xiao to the train station first, and then rushed to the Capital Theater.

Lin Weimin frowned as he listened to Han Zhuangzhuang's story, "Driving a motorcycle will show you off? Do you have to go and deliver me? Can't take the bus? Can't I get a taxi?"

He knew in his heart that Han Zhuangzhuang took the initiative to see off his friend, and he 100% wanted to show off his motorcycle.

Han Zhuangzhuang knew he was in the wrong, scratched his head and said with a smile, "I know I was wrong."

"You know what the heck!" Lin Weimin cursed, and then said: "I thought you had grown up after getting married, tell me what the hell you did?"

"How can you guarantee that you will be able to get here before the performance? What if something goes wrong in the middle? Besides, you are riding a motorcycle at such a fast speed that if there is an accident, you will be killed. Just to see someone off. , as for?"

Han Zhuangzhuang was scolded and nodded, "I understand this time."

"If you want to look like this, you won't be able to ride a motorcycle in the future. I don't want your father with white hair to give away a man with black hair."

"Uncle, I promise there won't be a next time."

Lin Weimin glanced at him, and then said: "You are such a big man. It doesn't matter that I don't have a good job at ordinary times, but you have to hold on to your job. Today's incident can be regarded as a warning to you."

Han Zhuangzhuang nodded depressedly.

The next day, "The Legend of a Female Doctor" officially started shooting. The filming location was the Ming and Qing Style Street in Yanying Studio. The main scenes shot here were Tan Yunxian's girlhood and youth.

The Ming and Qing Style Street is an important shooting base of Yan Film Studio. It was built in 1979 for the filming of the movie "Camel Xiangzi". Later, movies such as "Tea House" and "Wulin Chronicles" were set here one after another.

In the past two years, CCTV has filmed "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Rongguo Mansion, one of the important scenes in the TV series, has also been set up here. The filming of many movies and TV series has made it one of the few film and television bases in China.

In addition to the Ming and Qing Streets of Yan Film Studio, "The Legend of a Female Doctor" was coordinated by CCTV, and many filming locations were also determined. For example, Tan Yunxian often visited the palace in his middle age, and CCTV coordinated the filming in the Forbidden City.

Because it was the first day of filming, most of the actors came even if they didn't have any roles.

Lin Weimin specially asked for leave today and came here. Several main actors greeted him politely when they saw him, but there was deep fear behind their smiles.

This screenwriter has a bad temper!

With the pleasant exchange yesterday, the relationship between several main actors was very harmonious.

Li Meixian pulled Tao Huimin and asked her, "What happened to the actor yesterday?"

Tao Huimin thought for a while and said, "He won't be allowed to take part in that drama."

Li Meixian was speechless. It was terrible. She was only late once and was not even qualified to act.

"Mr. Lin's temper is really terrible. Do all mainland screenwriters have as much power as he does?"

Tao Huimin thought for a while, "He usually has a good temper, but yesterday it was because that person was his nephew."

"Nephew?" Li Meixian said in surprise.

Zhang Guorong heard the sound and came over, "What nephew?"

Tao Huimin talked about the relationship between Han Zhuangzhuang and Lin Weimin, and Zhang Guorong was even more shocked.

"This is extermination of relatives for justice!"

Tao Huimin shook her head and said, "You can't say that."

"There is a saying in Renyi that the show is as big as the sky. Actors all have to put on makeup one or two hours in advance and wait for the scene. Some seniors only have one or two scenes, and they have to wait two or three hours for a big play.

In the state Zhuang Zhuang was in yesterday, even if he went backstage, the director would not let him on stage.

It only lasted a few minutes, but he was out of breath and out of shape. Not only was he not in good condition when he came on stage, it was also likely to affect the actors on stage. "

After listening to Tao Huimin's words, Li Meixian said with admiration: "Huimin, you know so much."

Tao Huimin said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I know much. I learned it from Teacher Zhu Lin of Renyi, and Mr. Lin also taught me a lot."

Li Meixian knew the relationship between Tao Huimin and Lin Weimin, and couldn't help but make a joke when she heard her calling Lin Weimin "Mr. Lin".

Zhang Guorong was very impressed by last night's "Horse Trapper" and he also liked the actors on stage very much. After hearing what Tao Huimin said, he felt even more admired. He then asked in detail about Tao Huimin's performance. Some details of human art learning.

After attending the opening ceremony of "The Biography of a Female Doctor", Lin Weimin returned to the Chinese Literature Society.

When I entered the editorial office, I heard everyone discussing this year's Yanbing Literature Award.

The first Yanbing Literature Award was held in 1982, and it is held every three years. This year is 1985, and it is another award year.

Everyone is guessing how many novels will be selected this year and which novels will win the prize.

The first Yanbing Literature Award was awarded from 1977 to 1981, and this time it was awarded from 1982 to 1984.

In the past three years, Lin Weimin has written several works, including "Something to Say", "Horse Trapper", "Lover", and "Chasing the Murderer", all of which have basically met the Yanbing Literature Award criteria.

The biggest suspense discussed by everyone is: which of Lin Weimin's works will win this year's Yanbing Literature Award.

Colleagues joked that while others were worried that no works met the shortlisting conditions, Lin Weimin was worried that there were too many shortlisted works.

"Hey, Weimin, which work do you think the Yanbing Literature Prize will be awarded to you this time?" Yao Shuzhi asked.

That determined tone seemed to be a certainty that Lin Weimin would win the award.

Lin Weimin chuckled and said: "No one is possible. The Yanbing Literature Award cannot be awarded twice in a row. No matter how much I write, it will be useless."

"Huh? Is there such a rule for the Yanbing Literature Award?" Yao Shuzhi looked confused and asked her colleagues.
