1980 My literary era

Chapter 491 Unsuccessful start

The Haima Studio mentioned by Dashan was originally composed of more than a dozen well-known domestic writers and screenwriters such as Wang Shuo. After several years of development, it gradually expanded to more than 40 people, covering almost all the well-known young and middle-aged writers in China at that time. And half of the screenwriters, the limelight is the same for a while.

Since its establishment in the late 1980s, in just a few years, a series of acclaimed and popular TV series have been launched, such as "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Love You Without Negotiation", "Haima Studio", "Royal City Roots" and so on. .

At the same time, Haima Studio also cooperated with the publishing house to launch the "Haima Literary Series", which combined literature, film and television, and formed an extremely powerful influence in the early 1990s.

Unfortunately, in 1995, due to the individual development reasons of the members, Haima Studio sadly disbanded.

If you look closely, the emergence of Haima Studio is nothing more than money.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the trend of focusing on money had become widespread. Those who engaged in missile production were not as good as those who sold tea eggs. Writers and editors engaged in literary work also wanted to make money!

After experiencing a sharp rise in prices and rapid economic development, everyone realized the importance of money. At this time, the film and television industry was gradually developing, and copyright income had gradually exceeded publishing and publishing income. Under the leadership of a few trend-setters, Haima The studio was born.

Wang Shuo invited Lin Weimin to be the consultant of Haima Studio. To put it bluntly, it was just a name to give this newly born film and television literature creation organization with a loose organizational structure a strong momentum.

Mr. Lin has only made a few appearances in the film and television industry, but every time he makes a move, he is accompanied by world-class honors. By bringing him in, Haima Studio's quality immediately increased by two levels.

Although Wang Shuo was enjoying the dinner at Jimen Hotel, in fact, his Haima Studio didn't even have an entity. After tinkering for almost half a month, he rented a room at the Friendship Hotel.

"If I say the loser, you have to be the loser!"

At the first gathering of all members of Haima Studio, Wang Shuo pulled Lin Weimin over. Lin Weimin entered the room and saw a bunch of rough old men crowded together. The originally quite large room was so crowded with the dozen or so people gathered together. The individual looks cramped and cramped.

The room rate at the Friendship Hotel is not cheap. It costs 180 yuan per day. One day's room rate is equivalent to two months' salary for an ordinary person.

Wang Shuo turned a deaf ear to Lin Weimin's ridicule. He was immersed in the beautiful vision of establishing Haima Studio and about to expand its territory in the Chinese film and television industry.

Lin Weimin casually found a seat by the window and sat down, listening to Wang Shuo standing in the middle of the room and talking seriously. It was nothing more than that our film and television industry has great potential, everyone here is a young talent, and our studio has a bright future. , the studio has just been established, so we always need some chicken soup.

Lin Weimin glanced at it. Don't tell me, young people are easy to fool. Their eyes were wide open, and they thought they had hyperthyroidism!

"Did Dudu take leave today?"

Wang Shuo kept talking, and Lin Weimin casually asked Ma Dudu next to him out of boredom.

"I resign!" Ma muttered.

Lin Weimin was surprised: "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you talk about it last time we had dinner?"

"Just the past two days. I was bored in the editorial office, so I planned to start some business on my own. I was just about to tell you about this!"

"What's wrong?"

Ma chuckled, her little eyes almost squinted.

"Are those antiques of yours for sale?"

Lin Weimin glanced at him, "What do you mean? You still want to make two money from me?"

In the past few years, Ma Dudu has made a lot of money helping Lin Weimin buy antiques, at least hundreds of thousands. This is the biggest reason why he decided to resign. The establishment of Haima Studio was just a pretext.

"Hey, I've changed my career to selling antiques. The price of antiques has increased tremendously in the past two years. The prices of your items are almost sky-high now. I'm wondering if you want to get back your money."

"Vulgar! Collecting is for art. If you buy and sell, doesn't it become a business?" Lin Weimin joked.

Ma Dudu said in a brisk tone, "You are still enlightened. We ordinary people can't compare with you."

The two were teasing each other. Wang Shuo had just finished drinking the chicken soup, and there was warm applause in the room.

Haima Studio, no, externally speaking, it is called Haima Film and Television Creation Center. Haima Film and Television Creation Center was officially established. Wang Shuo was the initiator and the one with the most film and television works. He was recommended as the director-general. Haiyan was the deputy director-general. Ma Dudu is the secretary-general.

The chairman has become the chief executive, which is in line with Kanye's playful style in Beijing.

The opening is over, and then comes the main event.

Wang Shuo spent a high price of 180 yuan a day to get a room at the Friendship Hotel, not just to invite everyone to enjoy it. Here, there is 24-hour hot water, TV, air conditioning, free three meals a day, and the rooms are cleaned regularly every day, just to provide everyone with A good creative environment.

Since it is a film and television creation center, the first step must be to save scripts, and the first step to save scripts must start with Hu Kan.

Wang Shuo, Ma Dudu and other old Beijing films are the main force in talking about the mountains. With their start, others can easily integrate into it.

People in Yanjing are very clever when talking about mountains and rivers. Ridiculing others or self-deprecating is the main method. This is especially clear from Wang Shuo's works.

A group of people doing literary work were brainstorming, talking to each other for a long time. They all said that their ideas were good, but no one could convince anyone.

Wang Shuo scratched his head when he saw this situation. Sometimes having too many people is not necessarily a good thing!

Ma Dudu smiled mischievously at him, "Let me give you a trick!"

"What trick?"

Ma Dudu said nothing and pulled Lin Weimin up.

"This... everyone be quiet!" Ma Dudu cleared his throat and added: "Our Haima Film and Television Creation Center opens today. This is a memorable day. I think we should give the center's first script something special. significance."

As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Weimin, "Everyone must know this Teacher Lin!"

The crowd roared with laughter.

"In terms of film and television literary creation, Mr. Lin is our predecessor. He has won seven entries and seven outs at the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Academy Awards. He is famous. I think it is better to let Mr. Lin open it for us. If you are tall and come up with an idea, what do you think?"

"Okay!" As soon as Ma Dudu finished speaking, everyone cheered and applauded warmly.

Lin Weimin was picked up by Ma Dudu and felt helpless, "I can come up with ideas, but this time I have to pay."

Everyone laughed and said, "No problem, our Secretary-General will pay for this idea!"

"Your uncle!" Wang Shuo scolded.

After joking for a while, Lin Weimin pointed at Ma Dudu and said, "Dudu just told me that he resigned from "Youth Literature". I think you can consider creating a script based on the daily life of the editorial department, called " The Story of the Editorial Department.”

Ma Dudu said: "Teacher Lin, this is a good idea!"

Wang Shuo smacked his lips and said, "If we were in the editorial department, we would have a lot to write about."

Everyone here is either a writer or a screenwriter. The people who have the most contact with work on weekdays are editors and editorial departments. When I talk about it, I am full of inspiration.

Lin Weimin just mentioned it, and everyone continued the discussion.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Lin Weimin said goodbye and left.

Two days later, Wang Shuo found Lin Weimin with a frown on his face. Haima Film and Television Creation Center had a bad start. He stayed at the Friendship Hotel for less than three days and was kicked out by the hotel.

A group of more than a dozen of them lived in a room, chatting all day long with loud voices, and from time to time they would argue and laugh a few times.

Yesterday, when the Seoul Olympics opened, this group of people made a fuss while watching TV, which seriously affected the resting environment in the surrounding rooms. People complained to the hotel.

The hotel called Wang Shuo and his friends twice, but unfortunately these people refused to change despite repeated admonitions. In the end, the hotel stopped even doing their business and kicked them out.

He died before he left the army. Wang Shuo, the secretary-general, was very embarrassed. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to go to Lin Weimin for help.

"You are the consultant of the Creative Center, so you can't ignore us." Wang Shuo sat down on the sofa in the office, as if Lin Weimin would not get up if he didn't agree.

"No, can you rely on me for this?" Lin Weimin couldn't laugh or cry.

"Dudu told me, you have dozens of courtyards in your hand, can you lend us one to use?" Wang Shuo begged with salivation.

Lin Weimin held his arms and said, "I am the one who comes up with ideas and places. What do you want?"

"Isn't this asking for your help? Besides, we're paying you! We can't let your help go in vain."

"This is still a human saying."

Wang Shuo was so anxious that Lin Weimin left early and led him to Gongjian Hutong.

Taking out the key and opening the courtyard door, Lin Weimin said, "Look, this courtyard was originally lent to Lu Yao for his medical treatment. Their family of three lived in it, and it was pretty well taken care of."

Wang Shuo looked around the yard, and the three rooms in the main house alone were enough for the rest of the Haima Studio group.

"It's good here, but it's more convenient than the Friendship Hotel."

There is a word in the Northeast called Bangchui, which is specially used to describe people like Wang Shuo.

“Youyi Hotel costs 180 yuan a day and 5,400 yuan a month. If you have that kind of money, why not buy some things yourself and hire someone to cook and clean up? Isn’t it more cost-effective than Friendship Hotel?

With such a big yard, you can do whatever you want with it. How about treating it as a permanent stronghold? "

Wang Shuo smiled and said: "You are still thinking carefully, what about the cost?"

"A thousand a year!"

Wang Shuo jumped to his feet and said, "It only costs 200 if you rent it to Tiesheng!"

"Can it be the same? Tiesheng is for civilian use, and yours is for commercial use.

Just a bunch of soldiers and generals like you, if I rent my house to you for a year, what kind of harm might it cause to me? I have to charge some management fees in advance.

Besides, is it expensive for me? Is it expensive? For the price of a five-day room at the Friendship Hotel, you can stay there for a whole year!

Just tell me whether it’s a good deal or not! "

Lin Weimin spoke so plausibly that Wang Shuo was stunned for a while.

"If you give me a cheaper price, you are also a consultant of our center." Wang Shuo said.

"How much did you say?"

Wang Shuo was incapable of bargaining. He thought for a moment and said, "Eight hundred?"

"Deal!" Lin Weimin said happily.

Wang Shuo's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Weimin blankly.

"Is this a deal?"

"Yes. I said one thousand, and you offered eight hundred. Eight hundred, I agreed!"

Wang Shuo then came back to his senses and slapped his thigh with regret.

"Can you lower it some more! Lower it even a little bit?" Wang Shuo begged.

"A favor is a favor, a business is a business, the goods are genuine and fair, do you understand?"

In the end, Wang Shuo cried for a long time and the rent was reduced to 511, which was considered a reasonable price.

Lin Weimin is not short of Wang Shuo's money, but this guy is so awesome that people can't help but want to kill him.

"Remember to bring Dudu with you when you go out to do things in the future. You will be slaughtered for your behavior!" After teasing Wang Shuo, Lin Weimin did not forget to make a few sarcastic remarks to him at the end.

Wang Shuo is completely resting now. What this secretary-general did is so damn depressing!

The courtyard of Gongjian Hutong is well maintained and is basically ready for move-in. You can add some accessories later and everything will be ready.

In the evening, when Wang Shuo gathered everyone together again, Lin Weimin couldn't help laughing.

A few days ago, there were more than a dozen people at the Friendship Hotel. Today, when we meet again, there are only six people left.

This attendance rate is too low.
