1980 My literary era

Preparations for the re-publication of "King of Painting" are in full swing. The emergence of comic publications has completed another piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the Chinese Literature Society in its full copyright operation.

March is getting closer and closer. While Lin Weimin is busy working at the Chinese Literature Society every day, he devotes almost all his spare time to the creation of new novels.

In later generations, various bizarre news about Arden and Apu emerged one after another on the Internet, providing endless nourishment for Lin Weimin's creations.

The timeline of the novel is set in the future of 2016. Although it is a political satire, it seems to have a bit of a science fiction flavor.

Because he wrote about many things that he was familiar with in later generations, he gradually tended to let himself go during the creative process.

Fortunately, Lin Weimin still has some sense and has changed a lot of content to be 30% true and 70% false. In this way, others will only think that he is a scholar who has insight into human nature and understands the global situation, and has an understanding of American society. The understanding is extremely profound and accurately predicts the development trend of American politics in the next few decades.

There is "Burning", a work that deeply analyzes social problems in the United States, and it seems logical that this novel will appear now.

In late February, "A Romantic Affair" officially started shooting, and Lin Weimin went to the filming site to attend the opening ceremony.

The director and screenwriter of this drama are still the iron triangle of Ren Hao, Hai Yan, and Wei Ren. As for the actors, the male lead is Renyi actor Ding Zhicheng, the second male lead is Jiang Wen's younger brother Jiang Wu, and the female lead is Yan. Jiang Qinqin, a student in the 94th grade acting class.

Except for the young heroine Jiang Qinqin, the male lead and the second male lead all have some relationship with Lin Weimin.

When Ding Zhicheng saw Lin Weimin, he respectfully called Teacher Lin. He was a student of the People's Art Actor Training Class in 1985. This actor training class was also the last class of the People's Art Organization. In later generations, he and Feng Yuanzheng, Wu Gang, Wang Gang, The four of them, Gao Dongping, are collectively known as the "Five Tigers of Humanity and Art".

When Lin Weimin was dominating the entertainment industry, Ding Zhicheng had just entered the entertainment industry and had never even acted in a play.

In his mind, Lin Weimin's image was on par with seniors such as Jiao Juyin, Ouyang Shanzun, and Su Zhi. Lin Weimin stood in front of him like a high mountain.

Lin Weimin chatted with him cordially for a few words, and then looked at Jiang Wu who was smirking at the side.

"You're good at it. You just graduated from college, right? Are you already playing the second male lead?"

Lin Weimin and Jiang Wu met once on the set of "Sunny Days". Jiang Wu had a familiar temperament and said with a naive smile: "Thanks to you, I mentioned you to the director during the audition. I didn't expect it to work so well. I was immediately given a second male lead.”

"Don't put gold on my face, I don't have that much respect. What has your brother been doing lately?"

"Bu Ri Dao! I haven't had much contact recently."

Jiang Qinqin, whose face was full of green collagen, couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw that the first and second male leads were familiar with Lin Weimin. She had heard of Lin Weimin, but today was the first time they met.

With such a big writer standing in front of her, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to say. She could only bow and nervously called out: "Hello, Teacher Lin."

"Hello." Lin Weimin responded with a smile.

Jiang Qinqin is just 20 years old this year, and her face is so tender that she can squeeze out water. No wonder Qiong Yao gave her the stage name "Shui Ling".

At this time, Jiang Qinqin had not yet appeared in Qiong Yao's TV series. In 1992, she starred in the heroine of the TV series "Fascinating Guanyin" produced by her hometown TV station. Last year, she entered Yanying to study with the first place in the national art examination.

Jiang Wu said: "Teacher Lin, this is my junior sister, please take good care of her."

Lin Weimin looked at him funny, "You take care of me, junior sister. I don't work on the crew, so I can't take care of you!"

His tone was a bit joking, which made Jiang Qinqin's face blush, and Jiang Wu laughed.

Young Muai!

After chatting with the actors for a while, Lin Weimin said to Haiyan: "These actors are not bad."

After getting Lin Weimin's approval, Haiyan said: "We put a lot of thought into selecting people."

After saying that, he asked again: "Teacher Lin, the script of "Flower Season and Rainy Season" has been written recently. We have chosen a high school in Pengcheng as the filming location. For actors, we have screened several professional schools in Yanjing. We have recently interviewed some relatively qualified young actors privately. Do you have time to take a look at them later?"

Lin Weimin said before that auditions are required to select actors for "Blooming Season", but any audition conducted by any crew cannot be completely transparent and open. Preparation must be done in advance, otherwise there will be delays in just selecting actors. for how long.

Lin Weimin heard this and looked at Jiang Qinqin, "This Jiang Qinqin has a good image and temperament. I think the role of heroine Xie Xinran can be given to her."

Haiyan smiled and said: "That's good. Qinqin's image and temperament are indeed suitable, but he's a little older, so I don't have the nerve to mention it to you."

"Age doesn't matter, as long as the image and temperament are suitable!"

Haiyan waved to Jiang Qinqin, called her over, and said, "Qinqin, Teacher Lin just appointed you to play the heroine of "Flower Season and Rainy Season", why don't you thank Teacher Lin quickly?"

Jiang Qinqin was young and looked confused. She didn't understand what was going on. Haiyan asked her to say thank you, and she immediately bowed, "Thank you, Teacher Lin!"

Haiyan looked at Jiang Qinqin's expression, smiled and said to Lin Weimin: "This girl, you haven't figured it out yet!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "It goes without saying."

Then he said to Jiang Qinqin: "Act well."

"yes!"

After she left, Lin Weimin said, "You can take the actor information to my office later."

"good."

If it were any other work, Lin Weimin wouldn't pay so much attention to it at all.

Just like "A Romantic Affair", Lin Weimin didn't even ask about the casting.

But "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is different. This novel has a deep readership and huge influence. Lin Weimin wants to make this TV series a benchmark TV series.

To sum up, domestic youth idol dramas should start from 1998's "Love to the End", but in fact, since 1990, TV dramas with youth, love, and idol colors have appeared one after another.

For example, "Sixteen Years Old" in 1990, "Vacuum, Love Record" in 1996, and "Don't Cry at Seventeen" in 1997.

This time, what Lin Weimin has to do in "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is to create a truly high-quality domestic idol drama and create a precedent for domestic idol dramas.

Everything has two sides. Idol dramas can attract stupid fans, but they can also gain huge attention. The content of "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is positive and uplifting. As long as it is well shot, it can completely avoid the shortcomings of some idol dramas in later generations, and it can also have a positive effect. The role of positive guidance.

Jiang Qinqin returned to the cast, and Jiang Wu asked curiously: "Qinqin, why did Mr. Hai ask you to come over just now?"

Jiang Qinqin answered truthfully: "I was asked to act in a TV series. What is it called "Flower Season and Rainy Season"?"

""Flower Season and Rainy Season"?" Jiang Wu looked surprised, "Should you play the leading role or the supporting role?"

"The heroine."

Jiang Wu exclaimed: "Qinqin, you are going to be popular!"

"Fire?" Jiang Qinqin was puzzled.

Although she has just entered the industry, she played the heroine in her first TV series. "A Romantic Affair" is her second TV series, and she is still the heroine. In her opinion, isn't it natural to play the heroine? ? What difference does it make to do another film?

"Silly girl!" Jiang Wu patiently explained to her: "You don't know "Flower Season and Rainy Season", right?"

Before Jiang Wu reminded her, Jiang Qinqin never thought of it. Only then did she suddenly realize, "That novel you are talking about?"

"You just realized it? My aunt, you are so good!" Jiang Wu's tone was a little helpless, and he continued: "Then I don't need to tell you how popular the novel is? I listened to Mr. Hai and the others talking. , the highlight of their company this year is this TV series, and I heard that they are going to conduct a nationwide audition for actors!"

"Audition audition? Then why did you choose me as the heroine?" Jiang Qinqin asked.

"You are really... When people want to hold auditions for actors, they don't delay selecting actors in private. It's a two-pronged approach! Moreover, you were appointed by Teacher Lin. Do you know who the last actress appointed by Teacher Lin was?"

"Who?" Jiang Qinqin asked calmly.

"Gong Li!" Jiang Wu's tone was exaggerated, and his expression was even more exaggerated.

At this moment, Jiang Qinqin finally couldn't maintain his expression, "Gong Li?"

"Are you stupid? Let me tell you..." Jiang Wu's beard was completely inconsistent with his gossipy tone at the moment.

"Back then, Zhang Yimou and the others went to the Chinese Opera to select actors. Gong Li and the others had so many beautiful actresses in their generation. Do you know the Five Golden Flowers?

Zhang Yimou originally liked Shi Ke. Shi Ke, you know, right? She looks like Sophia Loren, with her looks, chic look, good acting, and explosive energy.

Zhang Yimou and photographer Gu Changwei both studied how to photograph Shi Ke's face, but Teacher Lin said that Shi Ke's appearance was too European and inappropriate. Gong Li is a girl from Ludong and is more suitable for the role of Jiu'er.

As you all know, Gong Li became the heroine of "Red Sorghum".

As the heroine of "The Last Emperor", you may not know that when selecting actors for "The Last Emperor", you must have an actress who is good at English. Gong Li's English is not good at all and she relies on Teacher Lin to support her. Bertolucci cast her. "

Jiang Wu kept talking about old news in the film industry, which frightened Jiang Qinqin. "Jiang Wu, you know so much."

"That's right!" After being praised by his younger junior sister, Jiang Wu was immediately overwhelmed by the beauty. Of course, he heard all these things from his brother Jiang Wen.

"This time, do you understand the value of the heroine chosen by Teacher Lin?" Jiang Wu asked proudly.

Jiang Qinqin said: "I'm not as powerful as Gong Li. If you play the heroine for me, I won't be able to reach her level."

"We haven't even acted yet, and you're saying such depressing words."

Ding Zhicheng, who was on the side, looked at Jiang Qinqin's performance and joked: "Qinqin can become a big star in the future, and he is not afraid of being flattered or humiliated. Wu Zi, you have to learn from this."

"Come on, brother Zhicheng, don't put gold in her face, she just doesn't understand the importance of this matter."

Jiang Wu's sarcasm made Jiang Qinqin roll his eyes, "You are so lenient."

Jiang Qinqin is a girl from Chongqing, and her temper is not as weak as she looks.

Jiang Wu didn't get angry even after being scolded, and said with a playful smile: "Qinqin, if you become popular in the future, don't forget to support me as a senior brother."

"Okay, let me carry my shoes!" Jiang Qinqin said.

Several people around laughed.
