1980 My literary era

Lin Weimin stayed overnight at the guest house of "Contemporary". He basically didn't sleep much that night. He spent most of the time chatting, not only with Gu Hua, but Lu Yao also came over near midnight.

Most of the time it was the two of them talking, with Lin Weimin listening.

Both of them are now in the creative stage, and they have a lot of fragmented inspirations in their stomachs and they urgently need to consolidate them through dialogue. This is precisely Lin Weimin's strength.

Gu Hua was talking about "A Distant Mountain Town", and what Lu Yao was talking about was not the "Thrilling Scene" he was creating, but another story, the love story between an educated youth named Gao Jialin and the rural girl Liu Qiaozhen , Lin Weimin immediately thought of his famous work "Life".

He has not read the novel "Life", but has seen the movie.

The next day, several people slept until noon.

Lin Weimin had lunch and took advantage of the lunch break to play table tennis with writers in other dormitories in the corridor.

A few people didn't pay attention to the time and were still typing after they had gone to work. They were scolded by a gray-haired old lady passing by.

Under the influence, several people listened to the instructions in a good manner.

After the people left, Lin Weimin asked in a suppressed voice: "Who is this old lady, so arrogant?"

"You don't know about her? Old Mrs. Wei!"

Mrs. Wei?

Lin Weimin immediately thought that there seemed to be only one person named "Wei" in the Humanities Society, and that was the editor-in-chief Wei Junyi.

In the afternoon, Lu Yao said that a fellow villager wanted to treat him to dinner in the evening and asked Lin Weimin to go with Gu Hua. Gu Hua said that he was busy finishing the manuscript before school started, so Lu Yao took Lin Weimin to the appointment.

Only after meeting him did he realize that it was director Wu Tianming who invited Lu Yao to dinner.

Lin Weimin is not familiar with people in the literary world, but he is no stranger to people in the film and television industry.

The bald tycoon's famous work is the adaptation of the movie "Life", and then he won the Film Festival Grand Prize and the Film Critics FIPRESCI Award in the main competition unit of the 2nd Tokyo International Film Festival with the movie "Old Well" .

It is worth mentioning that the male protagonist of "Old Well" is Zhang Yimou. At this time, Zhang Yimou had not yet made his career, but he actually won the honor of Best Actor with this film.

It's amazing that a director actually stole an actor's job. It can only be said that he is extremely talented.

After chatting, Lin Weimin learned that Lu Yao and Wu Tianming were fellow villagers and had known each other many years ago.

Wu Tianming is currently preparing to shoot the movie "Kindness", which tells the story of a father and daughter who reunited with their relatives after being separated for thirty years due to the war. Lin Weimin had no impression of it.

When Wu Tianming learned that Lin Weimin was the author of "Latent", he immediately became interested. Although this novel has only been published for a short time, it has had a considerable impact on readers. There has not been such an excellent novel in China for a long time. Spy novels appeared.

In fact, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, spy war-themed novels once produced many works with high reputations. However, due to well-known reasons, even works such as "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" became taboo, so in recent years, the number of spy war themes has gradually decreased. . It was not until the turmoil in the past few years passed that the ban on this subject was finally lifted.

Wu Tianming has read the novel "Latent". Not only has he read it, but he also likes the novel very much.

When he was reading it, he felt that the text of this novel was very graphic, the rhythm was compact and lively, and the conflicts were fierce, as if it was born to be adapted into film and television.

"Brother, have you ever thought about adapting your novel into a movie?" Wu Tianming asked in a seductive tone.

At that moment, Lin Weimin felt that this bald man had more potential to be a master than himself.

"Brother, you are joking. If "Insidious" is to be filmed well, the length of the film may not be enough."

Wu Tianming thought that Lin Weimin would agree or refuse, but he didn't expect that his thinking would be so clear that he would even consider such a thing.

"My brother is knowledgeable. Although the length of "Insidious" is not long, the pace is too tight and there is too much information to process. It is really not easy to film it well within the length of the movie."

His expression was full of regret, but he also understood that what Lin Weimin was talking about was a fatal question.

After that, Wu Tianming never mentioned this topic again and turned to other things.

A meal of entertainment brings great joy to both the host and the guest.

Lin Weimin and Lu Yao drank in a daze and returned to No. 166 Chaonei Street. They woke up the next day with a severe headache.

Lu Yao was correcting his manuscript, and Gu Hua was also working on it. Lin Weimin's balls ached, and he thought of the few tickets Wan Jiabao gave him, which happened to be for today's show.

In the evening, Lin Weimin rode his bicycle to the Capital Theater, which became the performance venue of the People's Art Theater in 1956.

The theater is located in the north of Wangfujing Street, covering an area of ​​nearly 5,000 square meters and a construction area of ​​15,000 square meters. It integrates performances, rehearsals and theater offices.

There is no theater more awesome than this in China today.

Entering the theater, the interior decoration is classical and luxurious, and the atmosphere is magnificent. The auditorium is divided into two floors, with nearly a thousand seats according to visual inspection.

The seats given by Mr. Wan Jiabao were very close to the front. Lin Weimin walked about ten meters away from the stage before finding his seat.

Today's play is "Tea House", Mr. Lao She's representative work, a classic that cannot be more classic.

"Teahouse" premiered in 1958, but while it was well received at the time, it also suffered a lot of criticism. Then "Teahouse" was revived in 1963, with some positive content added. The original author, Mr. Lao She, was very dissatisfied with this.

It was not until last year that "Teahouse" was finally revived and caused a sensation in Yanjing.

Lin Weimin has seen the movie version of "Tea House" before, which is almost a replica of the drama version, even the actors are the same.

Suzhi, Zheng Rong, Ying Ruocheng, Lan Tianye, Lin Dongsheng, Hu Zongwen...

As the narration unfolds slowly and slowly, various characters appear on the stage.

Lin Weimin's position was close enough to the stage that he could not only listen to every line of the actors at close range, watch every move they made, but also clearly see every subtle expression on their faces.

All the stage details are right in front of you.

Watching the classic work "Tea House" at such a close distance is completely different from watching a movie. Even though the 1982 version of "Tea House" he has watched is an almost perfect reproduction of the play, the visual impact of being so close is still there. The power still makes Lin Weimin feel intoxicated.

The 150-minute play ended unknowingly, and until the actors took the stage for the curtain call, Lin Weimin was still immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate himself.

In the past, he always felt that applauding people when watching a play or movie in the theater was a very fake thing, but after this experience, he understood that some people might applaud certain works out of politeness, but for something like For a work like "Teahouse", people's applause comes from the bottom of their hearts.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when we came out of the Capital Theater. Lin Weimin was riding his bicycle and the performance on the stage flashed through his mind. This experience is really unforgettable.

One more day to recover and start the third update tomorrow.
