1980 My literary era

It was the first time for the Capital Cinema to host an event like a premiere. I had no experience before, and I never expected that Zhang Guorong’s fans would be so crazy. The farce at the door lasted for more than half an hour, and finally the armed police who came for reinforcements intervened strongly. The news stopped.

It was through this time that many people present truly realized the influence of Hong Kong superstar Zhang Guorong. They didn't think much of it before, but after today's incident, they discovered that there are so many star-chasing fans in the mainland.

After everyone chatted casually for a while, the premiere began and a group of guests entered the screening room.

The screening hall was already full of spectators, but since they were all carefully selected spectators of the cinema, naturally nothing like that would happen at the door.

After entering, you first watch a movie. Compared with watching a movie in a small screening room, watching a movie in a cinema is a completely different experience.

"Farewell My Concubine" has a total length of 171 minutes, nearly three hours. It opens with the scene where Xiaodouzi is sent to the theater troupe by his mother, a prostitute.

Jiang Wenli is outstanding as the mother, who looks down on herself, especially her determination to cut off the deformed finger on Xiaodouzi's hand in order to send him to the theater, making people immediately immersed in this cruel story.

Waiting for Xiaodouzi to sing the original "I am a man" to "I am a girl" under Master Guan's stick again and again, many viewers present felt a shudder that distorted human nature.

As the plot continues to deepen, all the viewers are completely immersed in the world woven by the film, and their emotions rise and fall with the characters' joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and they cannot extricate themselves.

"Die Yi!"

A hoarse roar was the last sincerity of the "Overlord" whose bones had been broken long ago.

Cheng Dieyi completed his final performance with passion. Without going crazy, he would not survive. He lived the way he wanted, but is this who he really is?

His tragic fate was doomed from the moment he was sent to the theater troupe by his mother.

Or, if he was not sent to the theater troupe by his mother, the fate waiting for him might not be good either.

"If I really can't live anymore..." These were my mother's words.

The brilliance of "Farewell My Concubine" is that it seems to tell the story of the joys and sorrows of two Peking opera actors for half a century, but in fact, behind it is a profound thinking and torture of traditional culture, human nature, and history.

This is the original intention of many writers when they create, but after putting pen to paper, what comes out is less than one-tenth of what they imagined.

Lin Weimin's version of "Farewell My Concubine" is highly consistent with what the author wrote and what readers saw. Cheng Kaige's film adaptation has greatly restored the style of the novel. All moviegoers have only one feeling after watching the movie.

Shocking!

Indescribable shock!

The end of the film has come out, and Zhang Guorong's deep voice is singing: "Don't mention the past anymore, life has been full of storms..."

In the huge screening room, there was only the sound of music and the sobbing sounds of individual lesbians.

The lights in the cinema came on, and the singing continued until "Why don't you understand, as long as there is love, it hurts." After singing, the first round of applause rang out in the screening hall, and then in the blink of an eye, the applause came like a mountain and a tsunami. The sound of music.

Deafening!

The long-lasting and fierce applause faded and heated up several times. The person hosting today's event was CCTV's young host Yang Lan.

Yang Lan was intellectual and beautiful when she was young. If Ni Ping is the idol of many middle-aged men, then Yang Lan is the dream lover of countless young boys.

After Yang Lan appeared, the audience applauded even more enthusiastically. This was not only because of Yang Lan, but also because of the film creators who were about to appear.

Following Yang Lan's introduction, the main creators took the stage one by one, with bursts of applause. The atmosphere was extremely warm. The audience was excited to be able to come into contact with so many celebrities at such close range.

Lin Weimin and Xu Feng sat safely in the front row of the audience, watching the people interacting on the stage.

As people behind the scenes, the two of them did not need to go on stage. They were talking to each other and discussing the large-scale screening of "Farewell My Concubine" that had already begun.

Although he was fully prepared, Xu Feng felt a little uneasy, perhaps because his expectations were too high.

At this point, Lin Weimin seems much calmer. Although it is an adaptation of his own work, and he still accounts for 30% of the profits, after all, he did not put so much effort into it, so he is very calm.

"You have watched the finished film more than once. The quality is excellent and the box office will definitely be good. Don't worry." Lin Weimin said.

In his memory, the domestic box office of "Farewell My Concubine" in later generations should have been 40 million. To be able to get this box office in 1993 was definitely a big hit for a literary film.

Now "Farewell My Concubine" has the huge blessing of the original work, the investment has been doubled, the distribution channel is much stronger than that of later generations, and the publicity intensity is directly full. Conservative estimation, doubling it will not be difficult, right?

"The Lion King" can earn 150 million at the box office, and "Farewell My Concubine" is in the right place at the right time. There is no reason why it can't even earn 80 million at the box office.

The movie market is a winner-take-all market, and you can eat your head and make your mouth water, but most movies may not even get their money back.

It doesn't matter whether it is now or in future generations.

In this time and space, "Farewell My Concubine" is such a "top-notch" movie.

If the box office can really reach the ideal level, the domestic box office alone is expected to make back the money. When it is released in other countries and regions, after deducting the publicity and distribution expenses, it will basically be all profits.

"...Okay, let us welcome you!"

"Welcome Teacher Lin Weimin Lin!"

Yang Lan on the stage suddenly invited Lin Weimin to come on stage. Seeing that he didn't respond, he deliberately repeated the invitation.

Lin Weimin was just chatting with Yang Lan and didn't notice what happened on the stage.

He was forced to come to the stage, and Yang Lan very discerningly repeated what he had just said.

It turned out that it was Cheng Kaige who mentioned his origins with the novel "Farewell My Concubine". At this time, the little poet-reciting expert had not yet completely become ecstatic, so he talked about his mentality after reading the novel "Farewell My Concubine" for the first time in a matter-of-fact way. .

"...But when I read "Farewell My Concubine" ten years later, I had a completely different mentality than at that time, and I realized how good this novel is. Teacher Lin's creation is ingenious but not craftsmanship, with heavy swords but no sharp edges. The method will go to the extreme to interrogate history, the times and human nature, and the criticism of politics will be extremely sharp..."

Poetry masters are good at talking. If they want to promote something, they should suppress it first. To praise Lin Weimin and "Farewell My Concubine" is to praise oneself in disguise.

Teacher Lin is always good at talking.

How did Teacher Lin start his career? Didn't he just start by sucking up to old men and old ladies... Bah, did he start by writing a pen?

After some exchanges on the stage, the flowers were in full bloom, and there was no leakage. The audience burst into warm applause.

Looking at the young and beautiful young lady Yang Lan, her eyes were filled with brilliance and autumn water.

When it was the turn to interact with the audience, several audience members took out the issue of "People's Literature" in which "Farewell My Concubine" was published, as well as the first edition of "Farewell My Concubine", and asked Lin Weimin to sign it.

Lin Weimin readily agreed. Looking at the yellowed pages, he couldn't help but sigh.

Ten years in a blink of an eye!

Several book fans couldn't help crying when they got his autographed book.

It makes Teacher Lin feel deeply comforted. We are all fans. Look at this crying person. Who can’t say a professional word after watching this?

Lin Weimin returned to his seat, and the interaction on the stage continued. Lin Weimin asked Han Zhuangzhuang, who had just returned, "Tell me, why don't you ask Ni Ping for today's event?"

Han Zhuangzhuang looked disdainful, "Uncle, you are such a gossip!"

He lowered his voice and continued: "Can the family flower be shown to the public?"

Lin Weimin despises you, you sanctimonious hypocrite!

After attending the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine", it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

On Chang'an Street, there is still a group of fans waiting eagerly in front of the Capital Cinema, but there are not as many as there were at noon.

Zhang Guorong specially stopped at the entrance of the cinema to sign autographs for fans before leaving. After everyone went to eat together, the crew flew to Shanghai to continue promoting.

At work the next day, Lin Weimin walked into the Chinese Literature Society building and chatted with Xiao Zhou for a few words.

"Chief Editor!" Xiao Zhou's expression was hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?" Lin Weimin thought that Xiao Zhou wanted to ask him for something. Unexpectedly, the boy hesitated for a moment and asked: "Did you really arrange this for Xiao Weng...?"

Lin Weimin's face suddenly darkened.

"Don't listen to the rumors spread in the news agency. These people just talk nonsense when they have nothing to do. Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

Xiao Zhou immediately shook his head, "You are definitely not that kind of person. They all say that Xiao Weng was arranged by you, but I don't believe it. How could you, such a good person, do such a thing?"

When Xiao Zhou first came to the Chinese Literature Society, what impressed him most was the relationship between Lin Weimin, the editor-in-chief, and the guard, Uncle Zhai. Even when Uncle Zhai retired, Editor-in-chief Lin invited him to dinner. He, Xiao Zhou, witnessed it with his own eyes. Passed.

Could such an approachable and affable leader be able to do that kind of thing?

Editor-in-Chief Lin, what a good person that is!

"Xiao Zhou, some people in the club are not active in their work, but they are more active than others in spreading these baseless rumors. You are still young, don't focus on this, work harder and strive to create Bigger results.”

Chief Editor Lin Yin Yin warned.

Feeling that the editor-in-chief valued him, Xiao Zhou habitually stood at attention and solemnly said: "Yes!"

Lin Weimin nodded, "Okay, let's go get busy."

"yes."

Lin Weimin turned around and went upstairs, hating secretly in his heart, don't let me catch the wife who was arranging me behind my back.

After the expansion at the beginning of the year, the number of staff of Tongwen News Agency has now reached 18. Even though the Chinese Language and Literature News Agency has vacated another office for them, the office conditions are still tight. Vice President Li Xin and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Li Xuegang are now squeezed into the same room. I work in an office, and the popular literature editing room occupies a separate office because of the large number of people.

In addition, the editorial departments of "Kyushu Heroes" and "Hongdou" also share an office.

Lin Weimin walked to the door of the editorial office of "Heroes of Kyushu" and "Hongdou" magazines, and heard a hoarse voice standing inside talking non-stop.

"...Xiao Chen is familiar with me. He said that every time Xiao Weng goes out with Lao Mou, he always goes out empty-handed. The tone of Xiao Chen's words when he said this was envious. I'm sure that what he said was definitely not a lie. talk.

Both of them took the things. This time Lao Mou was punished, but Xiao Weng was fine. What does that mean? "

Unable to answer his colleagues, Yu Hua asked and answered his own questions and continued: "It means that Xiaowen is 100% wrong. Let me tell you, Teacher Lin is a treacherous person... well, he is very cunning and will never do anything wrong.

Don't you think it's suspicious that the car allocated to him is going to the deputy positions in the company?

Anyway, based on what I know about him, this car is pretty much used by those retired cadres, but it is inexplicably used by a few of his subordinates. How can there be no trap? "

When Yu Hua finished speaking, he saw a look of conviction on everyone's faces and couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

"If you don't believe me, ask those writers who were locked up in a dark room by him in "Contemporary" back then. In short, don't believe that Teacher Lin suddenly treats you well!"

At this time, Lin Weimin, who was standing outside the door, had eyes wide open.

OK!

The source was finally found!

The child is about to be three years old, and the school district here requires him to register for residence three years in advance, so I have been looking at houses for the past two days. It is too difficult. For the time being, I will only do two updates in the past few days.
