1980 My literary era

A special rectification campaign against domestic book piracy has been carried out nationwide for a month with great momentum.

In early July, several ministries and commissions involved in the matter once again held a press conference in Beijing to announce to the media the results of this month's special rectification action.

65 pirated printing dens were destroyed across the country, a total of more than 6.9 million pirated books were investigated and dealt with, the amount involved was as high as 19 million, and 372 suspects were arrested.

The first special rectification campaign against piracy in the history of the People's Republic of China is undoubtedly very brilliant in terms of results. It has greatly dealt a blow to the increasingly arrogant arrogance of domestic piracy criminals since the 1980s. The domestic publishing industry, which was most damaged, recovered significant losses.

Within a few days after the special rectification action report meeting, media across the country extensively reported on the results of this crackdown on piracy. The publishing industry and the literary and art circles even spoke out one after another, praising the joint action of several ministries and commissions.

This action can be regarded as a bad breath for everyone.

While outside news reports are overwhelming, a piece of gossip has spread in the domestic piracy industry.

The reason why the higher-ups launched a heavy crackdown on piracy this time was because the great writer Lin Weimin bought a pirated book in his name at a street stall. He was so angry that he went directly to Zhongnanhai to file a complaint with the Deputy Prime Minister. , so there was such a big action.

Many criminals involved in the piracy industry were furious when they heard this rumor.

They are not angry at Lin Weimin, after all, he is the master of justice and suffering, but they are angry at their ignorant colleague.

If you print pirated copies, just print pirated copies. Why do you create fake books if you have nothing to do? The money from piracy is not enough for you? crazy for money?

It's fine now, I pissed off the rightful owner. Just as I said above, the entire industry has suffered a blow that is almost as big as a nuclear bomb. With this wave of special rectification activities, underground piracy activities across the country have not been able to slow down for a year and a half.

Doesn’t this delay everyone from making money?

There’s nothing like giving birth to a son without an asshole!

The pirated booksellers who were sent in not only had to step on sewing machines, but also had to bear the vicious curses from their colleagues.

At the same time, these surviving pirated booksellers have also reached a tacit unspoken rule.

From now on, you can no longer steal Lin Weimin's books from anyone else. This guy has great connections, and he can send hundreds of people in if he doesn't like it.

I can't afford it!

Entering July, "No One Less" has been on sale for a week.

On the weekend morning, Lin Weimin had nothing to do and ran to the Chinese bookstore in Dengshikou near his home, thinking about buying a few books and checking the sales of "No One Less".

After staying in the bookstore for more than an hour, Lin Weimin returned home satisfied with the sales of the novel.

On the way back, I came across a bookstall. I went there and browsed through it, and I became even more satisfied.

They are all books from the publisher's inventory, and there are no pirated copies.

It seems that this time the crackdown on piracy has indeed had a great effect, but it is a pity that this kind of achievements will not take long to revive again, unless the government is really ruthless in cracking down.

Seeing such results, Lin Weimin was already very satisfied.

"Hey, I said, do you want to buy it?"

Lin Weimin browsed for a long time without buying a book. The bookstall owner became impatient, so he bought a book and left.

When I returned home, I saw Wang Shuo and others squatting at the door, followed by a familiar face.

"Why did you two get together?"

Lin Weimin's tone instantly aroused Wang Shuo's rebellion, "It's none of your business!"

"Virtue!"

Lin Weimin cursed, opened the courtyard door, and let the two people in.

Jiang Wen looked around the courtyard, "Teacher Lin, your environment is elegant. This courtyard is really bright."

After not seeing each other for several years, Jiang Wen didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

After pouring a cup of tea for the two of them, Lin Weimin asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Jiang Wen was not familiar with Lin Weimin, so when he saw him asking this question, he was embarrassed to say it directly, but looked at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo and Jiang Wen both came from the military compound and were both in Yanjing. They have always had a good relationship in the past few years.

Wang Shuo said: "Jiang Wen wants to be a director and plans to adapt my story "The Ferocious Animals"."

"Want to be a director?"

Lin Weimin looked at Jiang Wen, his rough face couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment, "Mr. Lin, don't look at me like that. I am also a graduate of the Drama Academy. You have forgotten that I directed you back then. What about Farewell My Concubine!"

The absence of "Red Sorghum" and "Ben Ming Nian" will not have a big impact on Jiang Wen's film career.

In 1986, he became famous after performing in Xie Jin's "Furong Town".

In 1987, he starred in the Sino-French co-production film "Tears of a Sedan Chair", directed by the famous French director Jacques Dorfman. In 1988, he starred in the male protagonist of the film "Spring Peach" by the third-generation director Ling Zifeng. From last year to this year , he has been filming Tian Zhuangzhuang's movie "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying".

For several consecutive years, he has played leading male roles in films directed by famous directors. Among the new generation of male actors in China, Jiang Wen is still very capable.

"Can't forget!"

Lin Weimin said something, and then looked at Wang Shuo, "He is making a movie, why are you looking for me?"

"You are a star in the film industry. Who else would I look for if I didn't look for you?"

Lin Weimin was surprised and didn't know where he started.

Jiang Wen showed a somewhat flattering look on his face and asked, "Mr. Lin, I heard that you are very familiar with the American Columbia Company."

"how do you know?"

Jiang Wen said with a smile: "We are also in the film industry after all. Wasn't "The Last Emperor" released by Colombia? And wasn't your movie "The Intouchables" also produced and distributed by Colombia? It broke the global box office It’s 200 million meters, how could we not know about it!”

"Since you know this, you should also know that I just write a script and can't have any friendship with others."

Jiang Wendao: "Teacher Lin, you underestimate your own influence..."

In the past few years, Lin Weimin's reputation in the domestic film industry was not good. The reason was naturally because of the directors who came to him and wanted to cooperate.

This group of people approached Lin Weimin for cooperation. When Lin Weimin said that the script had to be approved by him, if he didn't cooperate, it would be fine. They turned around and spread the news throughout the film industry.

For a screenwriter who wants to be a director, it’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Over the years, Lin Weimin has only cooperated with the domestic film industry with Zhang Yimou, and he has single-handedly made Zhang Yimou a success. In addition, works such as "Lover", "The Last Emperor", and "The Intouchables" have continued to gain success abroad.

Although Lin Weimin is not involved in the domestic film industry, his name has gradually become a legend in the domestic film industry.

"You have made me famous as a director. If I want to be a director, the first thing that comes to my mind is to ask for your help!"

Jiang Wen put a high hat on Lin Weimin, and Lin Weimin said: "Are you and Xiaoqing still together? She should be able to help you, why bother looking for me at a distance?"

Later, Jiang Wen's first movie was an adaptation of Wang Shuo's "The Ferocious Animals", and the investment in his movie was brought by his girlfriend Liu Xiaoqing. It stands to reason that Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing should have a good relationship at this time. Lin Weimin is very I was curious why he didn't come to Liu Xiaoqing, but came to find me instead.

Jiang Wen looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Wang Shuo said: "You really don't want to open any pot!"

"Don't be offended, I'm just curious."

Lin Weimin said without sincerity.

His values ​​​​are very simple. No matter how good the relationship between the two is, their moral flaws cannot be concealed, so Lin Weimin mentioned it with no scruples in his tone.

"Okay, let me tell him!" Wang Shuo saw Jiang Wen's troubled face and said.

Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing fell in love while filming "Furong Town" in 1987. Liu Xiaoqing was a married woman at the time, and they were caught by Liu Xiaoqing's husband, which made the relationship between the couple exist in name only.

Since then, Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen have been dating almost semi-publicly. People around them and the literary and art circles are very aware of their situation, and the media has reported it, but the two have never admitted it.

This year, Liu Xiaoqing officially ended her last marriage, and this is already the fourth year the two have been together.

Jiang Wen wanted to be a director and make movies, so the best resource was of course his girlfriend Liu Xiaoqing. Liu Xiaoqing had starred in "Curtain Behind the Curtain" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" in the early 1980s. She was very close to the Hong Kong film industry and helped him win. Investing in a movie is not difficult.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

Jiang Wenwen thought that Liu Xiaoqing could make their relationship public after their divorce, but Liu Xiaoqing disagreed.

Liu Xiaoqing is eight years older than Jiang Wen, and became famous earlier than him, and her fame is far beyond him. Before Gong Li, a star with incredible resources, appeared, Liu Xiaoqing was truly the number one actress in China, with many celebrities in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. With his reputation, he naturally has more scruples than him.

The two got into trouble because of this. At this time, asking Jiang Wen to ask Liu Xiaoqing for help in making a movie was tantamount to another shot in his fragile self-esteem.

After Wang Shuo finished speaking, Lin Weimin nodded clearly, "I understand!"

Jiang Wen looked at Lin Weimin expectantly, "Teacher Lin, I think I still have some talent in movies. If you can train me with snacks, maybe I will be the next Zhang Yimou."

Lin Weimin joked: "This is not in line with your style. If you want to be second to Zhang Yimou, you have to be first to Jiang Wen!"

"Don't be ashamed of me. I haven't even directed a single movie. How dare you say such a thing." Jiang Wen said shyly.

Wang Shuo helped and said: "Don't fight with us. I brought my little brother here to ask for your help today. You can't let me just lose face and do this, right? Brother, I won't be able to hang out in the circle in the future. !”

"Don't kidnap me morally!"

Despite what he said, Lin Weimin's attitude became more serious. He hesitated for a moment and said to the two of them: "I really don't care much about movies. I'll ask you about it later. It may not work."

Lin Weimin's words were very conservative, but Jiang Wen was ecstatic when he heard the words, "Thank you so much, Teacher Lin!"

Wang Shuo also laughed and said to Lin Weimin: "Weimin, thank you so much."

Lin Weimin was a little helpless. Did I express it clearly?

"I'm just asking for you, I didn't say it would be possible." He couldn't help but say.

Jiang Wen's young but vicissitudes of life was full of smiles, "Mr. Lin, you just like to be humble. If you ask for investment, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

Lin Weimin was very suspicious that Jiang Wen was giving him ecstasy soup. He looked at Wang Shuo again and saw that Wang Shuo also had an expression on his face. He was full of confusion.

When did I become so awesome in your minds?

The branches are up.
