1980 My literary era

Chapter 445 The Prodigal Son

"Okay, you two are stealing!"

Liu Haiyan, who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, just came out to take a break when she saw Lin Weimin and Shi Tiesheng stealing sheep head meat and shouted indignantly.

Others heard this, and when they poked their heads out and saw such a scene, they also denounced it.

"Come on, come on, everyone!" Lin Weimin quickly stuffed the remaining mutton into his mouth and shouted while shaking the empty paper bag.

Everyone looked at the empty paper bag that he threw away with a look of disgust, "You are so shameless!"

After joking for a while, Liu Haiyan said: "For the people, you think about picking up Shi Lan."

Lin Weimin nodded, no wonder he felt like something was missing.

He drove out and picked up Shi Lan in less than twenty minutes.

By this time, the meal was almost ready.

Everyone moved the tables and chairs under the trees in the yard, and dishes were served one after another.

The housewarming banquet was naturally sumptuous. Looking at the dishes that were all delicious and delicious, Shi Tiesheng regretted a little. He just wished he had eaten less mutton head meat.

In May, the wind is warm and the sun is warm, everyone gathers together, chats and eats, and has endless happiness.

Naturally, everyone was most concerned about Cheng Ximi when chatting. I heard that Cheng Ximi's job transfer has been resolved and he will be able to come to Yanjing in a few months. Everyone congratulated Shi Tiesheng.

"My wife and children are on the hot bed, and this time we are all working together!" Qu Xiaowei joked.

Shi Tiesheng smiled brightly, with a hint of naivety.

In front of the big guys, he couldn't say it was Zheng Guo who helped. After all, this matter was a bit taboo.

They could only express their gratitude with their eyes, and the two of them smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

After finishing the meal, everyone cleaned up the mess and gathered together to chat as usual. The courtyard was so smoky that several lesbians had great opinions.

Shi Tiesheng used to love smoking, but today he was extra restrained. He lit a cigarette and extinguished it after a few puffs.

"Have you changed your gender?" Everyone asked Shi Tiesheng in confusion.

There was a shy expression on his face, "Simi doesn't like the smell of cigarettes!"

Everyone suddenly felt like they had been given a mouthful of dog food.

"Love makes people blind!" Lin Weimin sighed.

Everyone laughed.

As long as there was a place for Shi Tiesheng, friends were never willing to leave so early, and everyone stayed in the Shichahai courtyard until night.

As the sky turned dark, Shi Lan turned on the color TV in the living room. She had been coveting this color TV for a long time.

At eight o'clock, Yao Shuzhi interrupted the men's chat and shouted: "Watch "Dream of Red Mansions"! Watch "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

In the past few days, CCTV has invested 6 million, and "Dream of Red Mansions", which has been in production for several years, has finally been released.

The voices of everyone spoke lowered, and several people's eyes turned to the TV.

While watching the TV series, everyone chatted from time to time.

Everyone has read the original "A Dream of Red Mansions" and has different feelings about this version of the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series.

They all knew that Lin Weimin was one of the consultants for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" and that he had made many comments on the script, so they asked him about his views on the TV series while chatting.

For this version of "Dream of Red Mansions", Zhou Ling and several other screenwriters adopted Lin Weimin's opinions.

At the beginning of the TV series, it was too unreal.

In the original TV series, the setting of Taixu Illusion in the original work was removed.

Taking away the illusion of Taixu is definitely a big mistake. The reason is very simple. "Dream of Red Mansions" itself is a book that uses the experience of many lovers in the illusion of Taixu to descend to the mortal world to establish a biography of the boudoir. To do so is to lose fundamental.

As for other changes proposed by Lin Weimin, it seems that some were used selectively and many were discarded.

The opinions put forward by Lin Weimin are not a major contribution, but at least they make this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" less short of many.

For example, there are too many virtual environments, such as correcting Lin Daiyu’s small-bellied character in the original version, and some fragmentation in the plot...

Lin Weimin was quite relieved to see that his suggestions were adopted.

Frankly speaking, the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is not without its shortcomings, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Now with his contribution, the shortcomings of this TV series are much less than the original version.

This can be seen from the feedback after the recent TV series was aired.

When the later 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was aired, the reviews from the cultural circles and audiences were mixed.

Now that more than half of the TV series has been aired, the reviews from the outside world are more positive than negative.

For an adaptation of a classic work of the level of "Dream of Red Mansions", this result is already very satisfactory.

The good reputation of the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" after its broadcast put the pressure entirely on director Xie Tieli.

The Shichahai courtyard was arranged for Shi Tiesheng. In the first year, Lin Weimin moved directly from Tuanjiehu Apartment to the Shizhu courtyard on Xi'anmen Street.

Compared with the beautiful Shichahai, the Shizhu Courtyard located on Xi'anmen Street has nothing worth commending.

But there is also an advantage. Because it was renovated at a large cost, in terms of living experience, it is more comfortable than Shichahai Courtyard.

Entering June, the weather in Yanjing is gradually getting hotter.

At this time, the advantages of the courtyard became apparent. It was very cool to move a deck chair under the tree at night.

Li Guangfu invited Professor Guo Daiheng from Shuimu University through his trust. Today he specially brought Lin Weimin here to talk about the renovation of Yongxing Baylor Mansion.

The Yongxingbeile Mansion covers an area of ​​5,000 to 6,000 square meters. Apart from the few princely mansions, there are countless mansions of this size in Yanjing City.

Li Guangfu did not dare to be careless and asked several connections to invite Professor Guo Daiheng.

Guo Daiheng studied under Mr. Liang Sicheng and has been engaged in academic research on the history of ancient architecture since the 1960s. He is now a well-known expert on ancient architecture in China. His most famous achievements are undoubtedly presiding over the reconstruction of Leifeng Pagoda and participating in the renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion. Work.

According to Guo Daiheng's identity and status, if Li Guangfu wanted to hire her as a contractor leader, he really wouldn't be able to hire her.

But as soon as Li Guangfu mentioned Yongzhengbeile Mansion, Guo Daiheng became interested.

Nowadays, there are not many mansions of this size and level in Yanjing City. Most of them have become national cultural relics protection units and are regularly repaired every year.

In the previous renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion, Guo Daiheng was only a participant rather than presiding over the renovation work.

This time Li Guangfu invited her, she had only one request, that is, she must be responsible for the repair work.

"Professor Guo, Professor Guo, and Teacher Lin's idea is to renovate it so that people can live in it."

After entering the door, without Lin Weimin's guidance, after a few words of greeting, Guo Daiheng talked endlessly about her ideas for repairing the Yongxing Baylor Mansion, and Li Guangfu had no choice but to interrupt her.

"Of course I know this. But Teacher Weimin, with all due respect, if you want to live in the Yongxang Baylor Mansion after it has been repaired, it is not a good choice now.

This kind of mansion was used by nobles in the past. The reason why it was built in such a large scale was entirely to satisfy the nobles' status.

There may be dozens or hundreds of servants in the mansion alone. No matter how many houses there are, no matter how big the yard is, there will be no space. But it’s different now than before…”

Guo Daiheng persuaded patiently.

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "You are right, a house of the size of Yongxingbeile Mansion is really not suitable for living now."

Li Guangfu's face showed a bit of surprise: "Teacher Lin, aren't you here?"

"In such a big house, 5,000 to 6,000 square meters, with hundreds of rooms, am I not afraid of being haunted?" Lin Weimin asked.

Li Guangfu was speechless for a long time: "Then...then why did you buy this house?"

"Do you understand that you are happy when you see Hunter Xin? Do you understand that there is no shop like this after passing this village?"

Li Guangfu looked at Lin Weimin, his lips pursed, not knowing what to say.

I spent 200,000 yuan to buy a hunting suit, but I don’t know how much it will cost after cleaning it up.

Prodigal son!

As the two of them talked, Guo Daiheng's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"You said you don't plan to live there, so what do you plan to do with Baylor Mansion after it is completed?" Guo Daiheng asked.

Lin Weimin said: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings. This house is big enough, I can store it in the future."

Do you think this is a warehouse?

Li Guangfu complained feebly in his heart.

He had never seen anyone who was more prodigal than Mr. Lin in his life.

Guo Daiheng's eyes became more and more excited, "I understand what you mean. Do you plan to transform this place into a private museum that has both historical flavor and modern life concepts?"

Lin Weimin nodded, "It's almost the same, but it's not open to the public."

"I understand, I understand!"

Guo Daiheng said excitedly: "Then you have to leave this matter to me!"

Lin Weimin smiled lightly and said: "Guangfu invited you here because I wanted to ask you to help take over this work. I just don't know the cost..."

Guo Daiheng didn't care, "Just watch and give it!"

Yo ho!

Li Guangfu was greatly surprised. Teacher Lin was generous and Professor Guo was not bad either!

Lin Weimin glanced at Li Guangfu and said, "Let's do this. Don't tell us how much, we will charge you according to the project cost. You can get whatever the international practice is!"

Now it was Guo Daiheng's turn to be surprised. Currently, domestic construction projects do not charge fees according to the project cost.

Given the size of the Yongxingbeile Mansion and the requirements for repairs and renovations, throwing one or two million into it would be like playing it. If the charge is based on the total cost ratio, she can easily earn more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan after completing this work.

"Teacher Weimin, you may not be aware of the fee standards abroad..."

Guo Daiheng wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Weimin, "Professor Guo, as long as the repair and reconstruction of the courtyard can be done well, money is not an issue."

In one sentence, Guo Daiheng understood that he was not short of money.

Come to think of it, the person in front of you is "Lin Wanwan"!

Guo Daiheng nodded, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Li Guangfu looked at Lin Weimin with envy in his heart.

What he said was so exciting!

The next day, Lin Weimin drove to the unit to go to work.

The sixth issue of "Contemporary" this year has just been published. The work tasks are not so heavy, and the atmosphere in the office is also very relaxed.

In the morning, when Lin Weimin was reviewing the manuscript, Wang Shuo came, and also brought his newly written novel "The Ferocious Animals".

Many people in later generations have watched the movie "Sunny Day" directed by Jiang Wen, which was adapted from the novella "The Ferocious Animals".

The novel is roughly about the rebellious youth of a group of college students. The text is based on Wang Shuo's real experience and is extremely tense and wild.

Wang Shuo was also quite proud of the work he had written. With his legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth, he discussed the royalties with Lin Weimin.

"If it's less than 20 yuan for a thousand words, I won't do it!"

Lin Weimin asked: "What's the matter? Are you short of money?"

"Nonsense! In this whole city of Yanjing, except for you, who is not short of money?"

"Didn't you just write the two scripts "Desire" and "The Stubborn Master"? Didn't you get any royalties?"

Wang Shuo said: "If I don't make enough money to spend it slowly, I still have to support my wife and daughter!"

Just this year, Shen Xujia gave birth to a daughter for him, which is why Wang Shuo's writing efficiency is so high this year.

"Not bad, not bad, mature!"

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shuo said goodbye and left.

After get off work in the evening, Lin Weimin came to Qizuo Alley.

Kavin, I also have to go out of town tomorrow. I have only updated twice in the past two days. I will try to resume three updates on Friday.
