1980 My literary era

"I'm just saying it's a possibility."

Zhang Guorong immediately said: "I understand, I understand, I just have this opportunity!"

Nowadays, he is not the superstar who dominates the Asian film industry. He is very excited to have the opportunity to try out his favorite movie role.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know how I felt when I saw the role of Cheng Dieyi. He seemed to be tailor-made for me. I can even feel the soul compatibility between us."

The more Zhang Guorong talked, the more mysterious he became, but Lin Weimin listened very seriously.

He knew that Zhang Guorong was not exaggerating.

He really seems to be born for the role of Cheng Dieyi. The role of Cheng Dieyi made Zhang Guorong successful.

Later generations of self-media or marketing accounts often link Zhang Guorong's suicide to the fact that Cheng Dieyi suffered from depression after being too involved in the drama. This is nothing more than grabbing traffic and eating steamed buns with human blood.

For movie fans, this kind of specious news adds to the legend of Zhang Guorong, but it ignores the facts.

In fact, he had been diagnosed with depression before starring in "Farewell My Concubine".

Lin Weimin knew that Zhang Guorong had the potential to play Cheng Dieyi well, but that was for Zhang Guorong, who had been in the film industry for many years.

But today's Zhang Guorong has not acted in a few movies, and his acting skills are still immature and not enough to support the role of Cheng Dieyi.

Zhang Guorong talked to Lin Weimin about his feelings about this character for a while. When he saw that the time was almost up, he stood up and left.

Before leaving, Zhang Guorong said sincerely again: "Mr. Lin, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Lin Weimin smiled and nodded, "I will definitely do it if I have the chance."

The next day, Lin Weimin came to Renyi again.

Yesterday, he, Yu Zhi and Lin Zhaohua read the script of "Jiajing and Hai Rui" and they all highly recognized the quality of the script.

Although it is adapted on the basis of "Ming Dynasty 1566", it has new ideas and characteristics, which is eye-catching and makes people feel bright.

So he said that he would invite the student screenwriter to talk today. Lin Weimin was also very interested, so he came today.

As soon as the car entered the Renyi courtyard, I saw several young people who looked like students.

"You're so mean. How could you submit the script to People's Arts without saying anything? What will everyone play this time?"

"I didn't expect to be chosen by Renyi! Besides, even if Renyi wants this script, you can still act in it without any delay."

Several students were chattering while walking. Lin Weimin got out of the car and shouted: "Zhang Jianjun!"

Zhang Jianjun turned around and saw Lin Weimin, and ran up with a look of surprise on his face.

"Teacher Lin, why are you here?"

"I should ask you, why are you here?" Lin Weimin glanced behind Zhang Jianjun.

Zhang Jianjun said: "Our classmates from the drama club wrote a script and submitted it to Renyi. It was adapted from your play "The Ming Dynasty 1566", Mr. Lin!"

Lin Weimin knew that Zhang Jianjun was a student of Yan Normal University and had given a lecture at their school before, so he had already guessed this fact when he saw him here.

Zhang Jianjun pulled Mu Sen over and introduced him to Lin Weimin. He shook hands with Lin Weimin shyly, and after greetings, he apologized and said, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry. That "Jiajing and Hai Rui" was originally a game for our drama club. , but the results were not very good during rehearsals. I felt it was a pity, so I submitted this script to Renyi, but I didn’t expect them to actually use it. I’m really sorry that I didn’t ask for your consent in advance.”

Lin Weimin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have read the script, and the changes are very good and full of energy. Yesterday, Dean Yu said that he wanted to have a chat with you, and I came here specifically to see you as a screenwriter. "

Several students who came with Mu Sen were a little excited when they heard this. They love drama. They have almost grown up watching Lin Weimin's dramas in the past few years in college. They did not expect that one day, Lin Weimin, a great screenwriter, would take the initiative to come see them. .

Well, look at Musson to be precise.

That’s okay, everyone is honored!

Being recognized by his idol, Musen was so excited that his whole body trembled.

"Let's go in and have a chat." Lin Weimin pulled Mu Sen into Renyi's office building.

Several other students watched with envy as Mu Sen was taken away by Lin Weimin. They came with Mu Sen today, mainly to come to Renyi to see the excitement. Now they can only wait outside.

So Zhi is not only the first vice president of Renyi, but also the head of the creative team of Renyi. In recent years, he has been recruiting people behind the scenes for Renyi, especially the screenwriting team.

Today he called Mu Sen. Instead of meeting in his office, he arranged to go to a conference room. In addition to him, there were two screenwriters, Lan Yinhai and He Jiping, in the conference room.

He Jiping is a female screenwriter who joined People's Art a few years ago. In 1984, she wrote "Lucky Mansion", which is considered outstanding among the young screenwriters of People's Art.

Today, two screenwriters were called in, obviously with the intention of testing Mu Sen.

Lin Weimin entered the conference room and sat aside, listening to the three of them constantly asking Musen questions about the script "Jiajing and Hai Rui".

At first, he stuttered in his answers, but then his answers became smoother and smoother. Lin Weimin couldn't help but nod secretly.

This is a piece of jade!

So the three of them had almost finished asking, so they looked at Lin Weimin and asked with a smile: "Does Teacher Lin have anything to ask?"

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "You can just ask. I am just an audience member. I think Comrade Xiao Mu answered very well."

Souzhi's face was full of a kind smile, "He is a young man with ideas and talent."

After he complimented him, his face became serious and he asked: "Student Musen, are you interested in joining our art program?"

Musen was stunned when he heard this sentence, looked at Yu Zhi in disbelief, and repeated mechanically: "Join Renyi?"

Several people present couldn't help laughing when they saw his reaction, which was full of goodwill.

"That's right, how about joining our Renyi and becoming a member of the Renyi Creative Studio?" Souzhi asked again.

Mu Sen finally reacted from his confusion, and then he was incoherent due to the huge shock of surprise.

"I...Renyi...I'm going to join Renyi?"

Everyone understands his reaction very well. For a young man who loves drama, who has a non-professional background and is able to enter the People's Art Center, the hall of the Chinese drama industry, this reaction is extremely normal.

After calming down for a while, Mu Sen finally regained his composure, and they chatted about the feedback after "Jiajing and Hai Rui" was submitted to Renyi.

"For your script, Teacher Lin took the initiative to reduce the publicity of the novel, fearing that the audience would have misplaced expectations!" Suzhi said.

Musen looked at Lin Weimin, his eyes full of gratitude.

He knew that he was able to create the script "Jiajing and Hai Rui" because he stood on the shoulders of this giant, Teacher Lin.

It was already bad that they didn't ask for permission in advance. Teacher Lin actually defended the script regardless of previous suspicions. Musen's heart was filled with emotion.

He bowed deeply to Lin Weimin in excitement, and Lin Weimin quickly helped him up.

"It's you who wrote the script well!"

After comforting him with a few words, Musen was pulled back to sit down and talked about the specific details of his entry into the arts.

Mu Sen is a grade 81 student in the Chinese Department of Yan Normal University and Tong Zhonggui’s junior brother. Unfortunately, it was very unfortunate that starting from this year, the academic system of the Chinese Department of Yan Normal University was adjusted from a four-year system to a five-year system, so the current generation of students had to wait until the summer of 1986 to graduate.

In this case, Renyi must wait until Musen graduates before absorbing him.

This is easy to say, but the key is what to do with the script of "Jiajing and Hai Rui".

The script is based on Lin Weimin's original work, coupled with Mu Sen's whimsical ideas, and the quality is surprisingly good. Renyi can't wait to bring this drama to the stage.

But how can it be done without a responsible screenwriter? Moreover, even if Musen can find time to devote himself to performing arts, he is still young after all, and most of his experience in drama creation comes from student works in school. If he wants to truly take on the role of a drama, his ability is still open to question.

So he turned his attention to Lin Weimin and waved his hands hurriedly, "Don't look at me. How can I have time to help you with this?"

"You are the original!"

"Why do you still want to rely on me? I don't have time, I don't have time!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand and refused, and now he is asked to come to the People's Art Helper occasionally to help, and spend all day focusing on the rehearsal of the drama and revising the script. He really doesn't have that time.

Feeling a little embarrassed, he pulled Lin Weimin aside.

"You really have to do this!"

"Why?"

"Xiao Mu is a newcomer, and it is true that he completed this script independently, but he is a student now. Firstly, he does not have time, and secondly, due to the revision of the future script, it will be difficult for him to complete it smoothly on his own.

Ask a screenwriter from the academy to sign it or not? Not signing is like working for a young man in vain. If you want to sign, should you be in front or behind Xiao Mu?

I feel sorry for being at the front of the queue because I haven't done much work after all. It's even more embarrassing to be lined up behind young people.

You are the author of the original work, and you have the ability to help Xiao Mu. It is natural to sign your name. Even if you sign it in front of Xiao Mu, no one will think that you are coveting this signature. "

Lin Weimin said unhappily: "Lao Yu, you are a bit of a moral kidnapper!"

So he started acting rogue, "How can this be moral kidnapping? This is called supporting young people. You, Teacher Lin, are so upright and upright, you won't refuse to help with this little help, right?"

Anyone who is a leader has this kind of virtue!

When the conversation came to this point, Lin Weimin could only agree, "I can help, but I won't sign this name."

"Why?"

"It's nothing, I don't want to take advantage of young people."

A novel is a novel, and a script is a script.

Lin Weimin would not sign his screenwriter's name on the novel script he authorized Renyi to adapt, let alone a script written independently by other young people!

Later generations have seen more of this bad habit in the cultural and educational circles, and Lin Weimin does not want to become the person he once hated.

So he shook his head and sighed, "You are a kind of spiritual mysophobia. You have to know how many people are eager for you to sign your name on the works of their screenwriters!"

"People are different."

Lin Weimin's attitude was unusually firm, leaving Su Zhi speechless, but fortunately he was still willing to help.

Musen was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Weimin was here to help take charge of the drama "Jiajing and Hai Rui".

Being able to study with Teacher Lin is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
