1980 My literary era

Because of the "love letter" incident, Tao Huimin has always had a complicated view of He Saifei, and she believes that He Saifei feels the same about herself.

The leader of the regiment agreed to the secondment procedure for the two of them, and soon they went north and bought sleeper tickets for the same carriage.

Along the way on the train, there was little conversation between the two, and the atmosphere was awkward.

This embarrassment reached its extreme until the two got off the train and left the station.

Because Lin Weimin came to pick him up today.

Even with Lin Weimin's thick skin, he couldn't stand it when he saw his little girlfriend and He Saifei standing together.

But Teacher Lin is a decent person after all, and he has to keep his airs on himself at all times.

With a smile on his face, he took their luggage and loaded it into the trunk.

After getting in the car, he said, "I'll take you two to the guest house first."

The movie "Dream of Red Mansions" is invested by Yanying, and the director is a famous director like Xie Tieli. The casting of roles has just started recently, and the momentum is huge, and various media in Yanjing are reporting on it.

The guest house Lin Weimin was talking about was Yanying Guest House.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" has a wide range of role selections. Xie Tieli not only coordinated the actresses of the right age from major domestic film studios, but also recruited outstanding actors from different types of operas such as Yue Opera, Peking Opera, Lu Opera, etc. to Beijing. The same is true for He Saifei Only then will he be called to the crew for an audition.

When we arrived at the guest house, the place was already abuzz. Film actresses and opera actresses from all over the country had gathered here.

Lin Weimin took Tao Huimin and He Saifei to check in, then found the room with the word "Director" on the door and knocked on the door.

"Thank you, Director, long time no see!"

Xie Tieli was discussing things with several creatives of the crew. When he saw Lin Weimin, he stood up, shook hands, and said with a smile, "Why is Teacher Lin free to come to our place?"

Lin Weimin introduced Tao Huimin and He Saifei behind him to Xie Tieli, "Send friends over to the guest house today. They are going to interview for two roles in your movie."

As a director, Xie Tieli saw the photos of each actor and recognized Tao Huimin and He Saifei at a glance, but he couldn't remember their names.

"This is Xiao Tao, Tao Huimin. This is Xiao He, Concubine He Sai." Lin Weimin introduced.

Xie Tieli had a smile on his face, "Okay. The appearance is really excellent. When I looked at the photos, I thought it looked good enough. The real person looks even better. Xiao Tao did a very good job in "The Biography of a Female Doctor."

Lin Weimin has a little girlfriend, which is no secret in the Yanjing literary and art circles.

Some time ago, when "The Biography of a Female Doctor" was on the air, some people discussed this matter.

Seeing Tao Huimin in person today, Xie Tieli had to sigh, what a good vision the young man has!

After saying hello to Xie Tieli, Lin Weimin came out of the room with Tao Huimin and He Saifei.

"In the past few days, you can stay in the guest house and prepare for the audition. After the audition, I will take you for a walk." Lin Weimin said to Tao Huimin.

Tao Huimin was a little embarrassed that Concubine He Sai was there, and nodded unnaturally.

When Lin Weimin saw this, he didn't say much and left the guest house.

Tao Huimin and He Saifei returned to the room. The atmosphere was as awkward as ever. She took out "A Dream of Red Mansions" from her bag.

Lin Weimin told her that the CCTV version of "Dream of Red Mansions" invited experts to train the actors, and the actors were familiar with the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions" in an effort to find the feeling of the characters in the book.

Tao Huimin was interviewing for the role of Lin Daiyu this time, and she didn't want to be compared.

The next day was a working day, and Lin Weimin went to work as usual. Lu Yao handed him the revised manuscript of the second part of "The Ordinary World" in the afternoon.

"The efficiency is much higher this time!" Lin Weimin praised.

Lu Yao held a cigarette in his hand, crossed his legs, and stood out unscrupulously.

"It's all written well, but it's actually not easy to change. I received a subsidy of fifty or sixty yuan from the editorial department for nothing, and I feel a little embarrassed!"

When he said this, he was very happy and his tone was very harsh.

"The subsidy of fifty or sixty yuan is not enough to cover breakfast for a week!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but said sarcastically when he saw him like this.

Lu Yao is now immune to his sarcasm, and his expression is calm and calm. If you want to scold him, you can scold me, and I will lose if you say anything more.

Lin Weimin had to admit that since "The Ordinary World" was overwhelmingly criticized by critics, Lu Yao's Qi-nurturing skills have indeed improved significantly.

If this continues, I think you will live a long life!

"When do you plan to leave?" Lin Weimin asked.

"In a few days." Lu Yao's eyes flickered when he answered.

You don't need to think about it to know that this guy must be planning to have a good time in Yanjing City.

After Lu Yao left, Lin Weimin handed the manuscript of the second part of "The Ordinary World" to his colleagues.

Because it was a cross-review, the review process lasted for more than a week.

After reading the second part, everyone's impressions were basically the same as the first part. This time He Qizhi asked Lin Weimin about the treatment of this novel.

Lin Weimin's opinion is that the issue should still be issued in the form of headlines, but without the treatment of large fonts.

The treatment given to Lu Yao was partly due to his own request, and partly out of respect for the work "The Ordinary World".

Now that the second part has been released, the specifications can be reduced appropriately.

After more than a week, Lu Yao had spent most of his time in Yanjing. After confirming that the second part of "The Ordinary World" would be published in the tenth issue in October, he left Yanjing.

At this time, Tong Zhonggui found Lin Weimin and said that he had contacted the poet Lin Weimin asked him to find.

"Oh? How's it going? Did you get the manuscript?" Lin Weimin asked.

Tong Zhonggui shook his head, "He said that he had never written a novel and had no plans to write a novel."

Lin Weimin pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone is a novelist. There is no one who can't write novels, and there is no one who doesn't want to write novels. The only difference is whether he has the opportunity..."

Having said this, Lin Weimin looked at Tong Zhonggui, "Little Tong! Tell me, what should we do when we encounter an author like him?"

what to do?

If people don’t want to write novels, what else can you do?

Tong Zhonggui cursed, but he knew that since Teacher Lin asked this question, he must be looking forward to his answer.

Tong Zhonggui couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he thought of the various tricks done by Teacher Lin in the past when compiling manuscripts.

How should I do it?

This little Tong is good at everything, but a little too rigid.

Lin Weimin thought as he looked at Tong Zhonggui who was deep in thought.

After waiting for a long time, Tong Zhonggui still looked like that. Lin Weimin couldn't help but remind him: "The author is either passive or active when writing novels. Now that his subjective initiative is a little less active, he has to try from the other side."

Tong Zhonggui looked at Lin Weimin with a clear look of confusion in his eyes.

He can understand active creation, but what does passive creation mean?

Lin Weimin sighed secretly, this kid is too rigid!

This is what the leader said, but I still don’t understand it.

"Just tell him that the editorial department is short of manuscripts recently, and then tell him the remuneration standard of our editorial department."

There are some words that cannot be said too directly, especially since Teacher Lin is now the leader after all, so he can only stop there.

Tong Zhonggui nodded, "Okay!"

Lin Weimin looked at his leaving figure and missed Yu Hua inexplicably.

If it had been this kid just now, he would have understood what he meant.

A few days later, Tao Huimin called Lin Weimin from the guest house of Yanying Studio. She got the role of Lin Daiyu in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Tao Huimin also said that He Saifei also got the role of Miaoyu.

Although she can't compare with the heroine Lin Daiyu, it is the work of a great director. Even Chen Hong can only play a maid in it. He Saifei can get a famous role, which has been a stepping stone for her acting career. Very good.

After the audition, actors like Tao Huimin and others had a few days of free time. Lin Weimin took advantage of these few days to take her to have fun in Yanjing, and then she returned to Yanying Factory.

Although Xie Tieli's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" did not train actors two years in advance like CCTV did, the minimum training was still required.

Time flies to September, and this year's September issue of "People's Literature" is on the market as scheduled.

On the day the September issue was released, countless loyal readers of "People's Literature" went into bookstores, mailboxes, and roadside newsstands, and bought the latest issue of the magazine without hesitation.

When they opened the magazine and saw the familiar words "Lin Weimin" in the catalog, readers smiled knowingly.

After so many years, the name Lin Weimin has once again formed a strong appeal and influence in the hearts of readers. As long as it is a novel written by Teacher Lin, it will definitely be right.

However, when these readers eagerly opened the magazine and savored the novel carefully, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

——

Shanghai, "Children's Times" editorial department.

A few years have passed, and Huang Anyi has become an old editor in the editorial department. The "old" of course refers to qualifications.

When Sister Lu was chatting with Huang Anyi at noon, the issue of blind date was mentioned again. Huang Anyi smiled and said nothing, and Sister Lu did not continue talking.

After a busy day, it was not until she was about to get off work that she remembered the copy of "People's Literature" she bought in the morning.

She just glanced at it briefly in the morning and felt a little happy when she saw Lin Weimin's new work on it.

After returning home, Huang Anyi opened the novel in "People's Literature" without bothering to eat dinner.

But as she read, her brows frowned, and her frown became tighter and tighter.

In 1983, she was invited to go to the United States with her mother to participate in the "International Writing Project" literary activity at the University of Iowa, which lasted four months.

When she participated in this event, Huang Anyi was not very clear about it. It was not until after returning to China that she gradually learned that this so-called "International Writing Project" mainly targets developing countries, and all writers are from so-called "problem countries."

Huang Anyi came from the 1960s and 1970s, so when talking about her previous experiences, she always had a feeling of bitterness and hatred. However, after contacting those foreign writers, she realized that China is not the only one in the world. Problem, many countries have problems.

This trip to the United States opened Huang Anyi's horizons. She felt more open-minded when faced with many problems. She no longer had the grudges she had before. It also made her have a good impression of Western countries like the United States.

It should be said that during the reform and opening up in the 1980s, under the background of comprehensive learning from the West, there were not many Chinese who did not have a favorable impression of Western countries, and Huang Anyi's view was not uncommon.

Because of her pleasant experiences traveling in the United States, she instinctively felt disgusted when reading novels in magazines. But at this moment, Lin Weimin's playful smile flashed through her mind.

She knew very well that behind that seemingly humorous and nonchalant face was Lin Weimin's extremely powerful spiritual world.

Over the years, she has carefully studied every novel written by Lin Weimin. When it comes to her understanding of Lin Weimin and his works, Huang Anyi does not think that anyone can be more thorough than herself.

In the past few years, Huang Anyi heard about Lin Weimin's works being published overseas, and also heard about his works being moved to Broadway.

Logically speaking, from his perspective, he should be closer to Western countries.

But the reality seems to be exactly the opposite.
