1980 My literary era

Lin Weimin stared at Yu Hua's back being escorted away by Tong Zhonggui, feeling a little uneasy.

What does this guy mean? Does he know that I wrote "The Best in the World"?

Lin Weimin recalled the demeanor and tone of Yu Hua's words just now, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

After thinking about it, he felt a little regretful.

Originally, he didn't need to hide the writing of "No. 1 in the World" from a few people in the editorial department. We were all colleagues and it was just a secret. It was not a big deal.

But when Lin Weimin thought about the people in Tongwen Society, after all, they were separated from the Chinese Literature Society. Their working ability may not be guaranteed, but the fine traditions of the Chinese Literature Society must not be lost.

With these people's gossip, he still felt that the fewer people knew about this matter, the better.

But……

Judging from Yu Hua's tone just now, I guess he must have discovered it, otherwise he wouldn't have inexplicably told him what to say to Xiao Zuanfeng, and said he was highly efficient in creation.

He must have felt that he had caught me, so he rushed to write the manuscript to be confident and show off his power.

This time it was really a boat capsized in the gutter!

Fortunately, I didn't make things easy for this kid. Xiao Tong was a reserved person and took everything seriously. Asking him to fix Yu Hua was a retaliation.

If you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for being in the fifteenth grade.

When I got home in the evening, Tao's mother and Sister Sun were preparing dinner.

Tao Huimin was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a bag of popcorn in her arms. She was gradually showing her pregnancy. Tao's mother basically didn't let her get involved in things at home. She just ate, drank, walked and exercised every day.

She is an actress by profession and has always been very careful about her weight, but since she became pregnant, her appetite has increased and she cannot control it.

In more than a month, my weight has increased by more than ten kilograms. Compared with before, I feel a little more plump and pregnant.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Weimin walked with Tao Huimin in the courtyard for a while, and then prepared to go back to the study to write.

"Why are you writing again?" Lin Weimin never told Tao Huimin that he was writing novels for "Heroes of Kyushu", so Tao Huimin was puzzled when she saw that he would go to the study to write for a few days from time to time, but no works came out.

Lin Weimin didn't want to say more, waved his hand and said: "Alas! It's all his own fault!"

After staying up for more than half a month, this morning, Lin Weimin dumped a thick stack of manuscripts on Yu Hua's desk.

Yu Hua raised his head and saw Lin Weimin looking at him with a gloomy face, "The remaining 300,000 words of "The Best in the World" are here. Don't bother me in the future!"

Yu Hua knew that he must have been resented by Teacher Lin this time, but it didn't matter, as long as he got the manuscript.

Anyway, Teacher Lin doesn’t do any specific work now, so you can’t still push me for manuscripts and lock me up in a dark room, right?

"Oh, I just said that Comrade Xiao Zhuanfeng is very efficient. Look, look, it only took more than half a month to finish the manuscript! This is really a model writer. This is the kind of talent our publication lacks. "

The others didn't know why, seeing that Yu Hua was full of flattery, they thought he was satisfied with Xiao Zhuanfeng's creative efficiency, but they didn't know that he was exchanging merit for crime.

"What about that, Teacher Lin? You see, you are in the middle of contacting the writer comrades, and your hard work has paid off. Come on, come on, have a sip of hot tea, it's so cold!"

"No need." Lin Weimin snorted coldly and left the office.

Li Xuegang asked: "Yu Hua, why did you offend Teacher Lin?"

"No. Didn't you see? Teacher Lin's attitude towards me is so good!"

Everyone:? ? ?

Lin Weimin has been immersed in creation for more than half a month. It is already early November. Winter in Yanjing seems to have come a little early, and the temperature begins to drop sharply in the evening.

After getting off work in the evening, Lin Weimin picked up Wang Shuo, and the two made an appointment to go to the crew of "Sunny Days" together. He went to see the filming situation of the crew. Last week, Michael Phillips flew back to the United States. Before leaving, he specially Ask him to help and visit the set more often.

After staying in Yanjing for more than half a month, Michael Phillips has clearly recognized Jiang Wen's true face.

He was very lucky that when Jiang Wen asked him for an investment of 500,000 yuan, he forcefully handed over 2 million. Otherwise, with Jiang Wen's prodigal character, the crew might have to stop at some point.

Just for the first scene in the bathhouse, Jiang Wen had to shoot it for three days and three nights. Xia Yu and the other actors almost went bald, and thousands of feet of film were wasted.

Wang Shuo went to the crew to make a guest appearance. This was an appointment he had made with Jiang Wen when the movie started. Jiang Wen assigned him the role of "Little Bastard", the famous recalcitrant leader in Yanjing City at that time.

In Master Shuo's heart, he has always had a dream of becoming a star.

It just so happened that today the crew was filming the second scene of the character Little Bastard at Lao Mo's restaurant. Jiang Wen called Wang Shuo two days in advance.

On the way to the set, Wang Shuo looked nervous and had a cheat sheet in his hand, mumbling it all the way.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but joked: "Are you good at it? Do you want to be an actor at this level?"

"Do you care?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at your virtue, don't keep dreaming of being a star."

Lin Weimin's merciless ridicule made Wang Shuo angry, "I dare to guest star in a movie, do you dare? Just hold it in if you don't dare! Drive your car!"

"It's just a guest appearance in the movie. When my buddy was directing the filming of the movie, you were still practicing dog paddling in the army!"

The two bickered all the way to the Moscow restaurant, which was already booked by the "It's a Sunny Day" crew.

Arriving at the crew, Wang Shuo went to change clothes and put on makeup first, while Lin Weimin stopped Er Yong. Er Yong was the life producer of the crew and the son of the famous actor Zhang Yongshou.

"Teacher Lin!" Er Yong said hello after being called over by Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin looked at the crew who were busy in the restaurant and asked: "How many scenes are there?"

"Just a play."

"How many days did it last?"

"Five days."

Lin Weimin's brows furrowed, and Er Yong shrank his neck, knowing that Lin Weimin must be unhappy, so he defended: "Director Jiang asked me to do it."

"I know, just go ahead."

Er Yong felt happy in his heart, and secretly glanced at Jiang Wen who was telling the actors about the play. Bless yourselves, buddy!

After Jiang Wen had finished telling the actors, all departments were preparing for the start of filming, and Jiang Wen ran to Lin Weimin's side.

"Teacher Lin, are you here?"

Lin Weimin nodded slightly, pretending to look at the environment of the restaurant, and said: "Old Mo, the environment is good. Everyone has worked hard during this period. After filming the scene today, let's stay here and have a good time."

Jiang Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, "Wow! You really thought of coming with me. I'll cover it for five days, Lao Mo. When the filming is over, let the brothers have a good time!"

"Isn't it just a scene? Why do you have a five-day guarantee?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Hey! This is not for..."

Jiang Wen noticed something was wrong and closed his mouth.

Lin Weimin looked at him with a cold face, "For what?"

Seeing Lin Weimin's attitude, Jiang Wen didn't know that he was lying to him just now, so he smiled flatteringly at Lin Weimin.

"Don't be so playful with me! Did you leave the crew's funds to cause such trouble? Now it seems that there is money in the account to spend, but the movie has not been finished yet. What if the budget goes over? How can you still shoot this movie? "

Lin Weimin scolded him harshly, while Jiang Wen stood aside obediently and did not dare to speak.

The busy crew seemed to slow down all of a sudden. Everyone moved gently, for fear of disturbing Lin Weimin.

After scolding for several minutes, Lin Weimin stopped. Jiang Wen was so scolded that he couldn't even lift his head.

"We try to finish filming this scene today, and the crew will have dinner at the restaurant in the evening. You can tell the restaurant yourself, or if you don't get it, the money will be deducted from your remuneration!"

Lin Weimin gave Jiang Wen an ultimatum, and he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

The crew members who were listening quietly were relieved when they heard Lin Weimin's words, and they were allowed to have dinner at Lao Mo at least in the evening.

"Look at this producer, he's so majestic. He's pointing his finger at the director and scolding him!" said the production manager who was working as a foreigner.

The lighting assistant on the side said: "You have only been working for a few years, and you have never seen the majesty of this teacher Lin."

"Mighty? How majestic?" The field manager was a young man, and he was a little disdainful when he heard the lighting assistant's words.

"How majestic? Do you know "The Biography of a Female Doctor"?"

The steward nodded.

"I remember when I was filming "The Biography of a Female Doctor", Teacher Lin waved his hand and dozens of staff members got out. Everyone in Xiangjiang had to hold it in, and people from CCTV also followed suit. Is Jiang Wen a piece of shit? The investment in this drama It was Teacher Lin who pulled it for him, and he had to listen to the scolding."

Seeing the lighting assistant's assurance, several staff members around him were aroused by his words, and they gathered together to gossip.

After scolding Jiang Wen, Lin Weimin went to the set and sat down. His whole body exuded the aura of keeping strangers away, and no one dared to approach.

Michael Phillips is not here, and several major positions on the crew are filled by Jiang Wen's people. If Lin Weimin is not the bad guy, their crew may have to shut down due to cost overruns at some point.

Jiang Wen went to communicate with the restaurant manager for a while, and finally managed to change the time to two days, and then came back to continue filming.

Today's scene is a little bastard played by Wang Shuo who brings his brothers to a dinner party at Lao Mo. Wang Shuo has two scenes in total. The first scene is under the Luding Bridge, where he acts as peacemaker for two groups who are quarreling with each other. Man, one of the gang includes protagonists such as Ma Xiaojun.

In Lao Mo's second scene, the two groups of people shook hands and made peace under Wang Shuo's persuasion, and everyone went to Lao Mo for dinner.

In this scene, Wang Shuo's line is just one sentence: "We are all brothers in the four seas, and peace among the five continents is precious."

In front of the camera, Wang Shuo said this while holding up a beer mug, and there was basically nothing left for him to do.

Oh, no, not even close.

There have to be a few scenes showing that the little bastard is respected and admired by people. The people Jiang Wen hires to step in are all martial arts fighters. These people put him on the neck and parade him in the restaurant to enjoy the admiration of everyone.

Wang Shuo enjoyed it very much at first, but after shooting two scenes, Jiang Wen still felt it was not enough. He wanted to take the team leader's shot and let the soldiers first carry Wang Shuo in a U-shaped position, and then throw him into the air. Keep throwing it around.

Jiang Wen's idea was good, but it was a pity that Wang Shuo suffered a lot, and it lasted only a few hours.

It was almost midnight at the end, but Lin Weimin couldn't bear it anymore, "That's almost enough. Why did you shoot so many times for a broken shot?"

Only then did Jiang Wen end the filming of the scene with unfinished content.

When everyone put Wang Shuo down, they saw that his face was pale and his legs were weak as soon as his feet hit the ground. The people next to him quickly supported him.

"No...it's okay, I'm okay."

As we all know, Master Shuo is soft everywhere except for his tough mouth.

Lin Weimin gave him his chair and said with a gloating smile: "What's wrong? Are you still going to act?"

Wang Shuo's face was pale, he was still breathing, and he didn't want to talk to Lin Weimin.

The crew over there finished filming, and Jiang Wen was planning a dinner party.

Because today was a meal scene, the chef in the restaurant didn't get off work until this point, and the crew even paid overtime pay.

Jiang Wen came over to invite Lin Weimin and Wang Shuo to eat. Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "We don't want to eat. You can eat by yourself."

After Jiang Wen left, Wang Shuo said, "If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. Why are you taking me with you?"

"I'm afraid you'll vomit after eating half of it, so don't embarrass yourself here!"

After saying that, he left Lao Mo with Wang Shuo.

After getting in the car, Wang Shuo finally told a few truths.

"Vanity! Still vanity! Why do you think I was such a good guest? Last time I was filming at Lugou Bridge for most of the day, and I was so cold that I was so cold. Today, he is not a human being, and he left me alone for three or four hours. , my meal the day before yesterday was almost thrown out.

Just now, you didn’t know it, but the people below were almost exhausted, and I almost fell down several times.

When I was up there, I asked myself, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just be an audience? "

When Wang Shuo said this, he started to curse again, gritting his teeth and said: "Jiang Wen, this thief, don't let him fall into my hands in the future!"

Lin Weimin drove the car with a calm expression.

"I told you a long time ago that you have no destiny to be a star."

Wang Shuo ignored him and just looked out the car window with melancholy eyes.

The north wind was bleak. At this moment, Master Shuo knew that his dream of becoming a star was shattered!
