1980 My literary era

Jinghua Museum.

The owner of the museum is Lin Weimin, and the director of the museum is Ma Dudu.

Jinghua is a good name for Kyoto, with its abundant resources, natural treasures and outstanding people.

It also means "elite", implying the essence of the museum's numerous and dazzling collections.

The brand-new Jinghua Museum also deserves this name. The cultural relics in the museum cover almost all important categories of antique cultural relics.

The Palace Museum divides its collections into 25 categories, totaling more than 1.8 million items.

The Jinghua Museum cannot be compared with the Palace Museum, but there are still many types of collections in the museum, but the quantity is much lower than that of the Palace Museum.

Among them, there are 23,100 paintings, 14,000 calligraphy works, 1,500 inscriptions, 6,000 bronze wares, 11,000 gold and silver wares, 9,500 lacquer wares, 1,200 enamel wares, 52,000 ceramics, and 4,200 weaving and embroidery pieces.

In terms of total collection, the Beijing Museum is barely one-tenth that of the Palace Museum, but it is much larger than the average provincial museum.

When it comes to the rarity and preciousness of its collections, the Jinghua Museum also surpasses many provincial museums, including many cultural relics passed down from generation to generation.

For a private museum, cultural relics with such a large quantity and quality are probably difficult to find rivals in the domestic antique collection industry, and are extremely rare even in the world.

Of course, these collections are not free.

Ma Dudu started collecting antiques for Lin Weimin in 1982. In recent years, except for his own business, he has focused almost all his energy on this.

Especially in the past few years when the museum was struggling, Lin Weimin still paid him a large salary every month when the museum procedures could not be completed. How could Ma Dudu have the nerve to take his salary and not work?

Lin Weimin is not short of money either. Ma Dudu has been spending more than 100 million yuan almost every year in the past few years. Sometimes he is even a little scared. Over the years, he has spent less than 1 billion yuan in RMB. Eight hundred million.

Even if he does business, he will never make so much money in ten lifetimes.

And this money is just a small amount of money that Teacher Lin spent on collecting this little hobby.

Ma Dudu sometimes secretly wonders how much money Teacher Lin has. He heard that the royalties received by Teacher Lin from various countries around the world are calculated in tens of millions of dollars almost every quarter.

They even hired special accounting firms and law firms in the United States to help handle tax and copyright cooperation between countries.

Just hiring these people costs millions of dollars a year.

After years of hard work, Ma Dudu's total assets are barely two to three million dollars, which is not enough to hire long-term workers for several years.

When it comes to handling so much money, Ma Dudu has never had any evil intentions. Of course he has, and more than once.

But every time it came to a critical moment, he would become timid.

There are three reasons.

First, he and Lin Weimin have known each other for more than ten years. They are not close friends, but they are worthy of being good friends, and the friends around him are all in the same circle.

If he does something ridiculous, he will be cut off from the network of people he has worked so hard to cultivate over the years.

Secondly, Teacher Lin is an open-minded person who is generous and generous. If his friends are in trouble, he will never hesitate to help. In ancient times, that would be a proper call for protection and timely rain. After being in contact with Lin Weimin over the years, Ma Dudu was deeply moved. I admire Lin Weimin's character and mind.

Thirdly, Teacher Lin's status is too special. Although he is only a J-level cadre and works in a publishing company, no one in the system dares to look down upon him.

To put it bluntly, both leaders were loyal readers.

People can easily call the ministry with just one phone call. They say they want to crack down on book piracy, and hundreds of pirated book dealers across the country go in; they say they want to crack down on concealment and underreporting of movie box office, and dozens of theater chain staff go in; A big newspaper like "Nandu Weekend" is about to fall apart due to the tossing. Don't local parents and officials have to provide them with good food and drink?

After counting Lin Weimin's various heroic achievements in the past, can ordinary people afford to offend him?

How much dignity does it show Ma Dudu to be friends? If you don't understand clearly, you will find something fishy in this. It's like an old man eating arsenic - he's so tired of living!

The Jinghua Museum opens today. Ma Dudu has lived up to Lin Weimin's trust in him for so many years. He spent an astronomical amount of money and finally bought such a museum.

Ma Dudu also learned beforehand that the Jinghua Museum is truly the first private museum in the country, and it has more cultural relics than many provincial museums.

With Teacher Lin's financial resources, Ma Dudu is very confident that he will build the Jinghua Museum into a first-class museum in the country.

The opening ceremony was very simple. When the red silk fell from Lin Weimin's hands, the ceremony was over. There were no firecrackers, no gongs and drums, and the celebrities and actors who came to support did not even have a chance to step forward. Standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Okay, the ceremony is over, let's do whatever we should do." Lin Weimin said.

Ma Dudu said, "Teacher Lin, let's take a group photo."

Lin Weimin thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's take a photo together."

Ma Dudu greeted quickly: "Come on, come on, let's get together and take a photo."

Gu Changwei, who followed Zhang Yimou, volunteered to act as a photographer.

Many actors, directors, and writers, with Lin Weimin as the center, stood at the entrance of the Jinghua Museum.

With the sound of "eggplant", the scene freezes.

Lin Weimin stands in the center of the picture, with writers such as Shi Tiesheng, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, and Tong Zhonggui on his left, directors such as Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang on his right, and many star actors in front and behind him.

Today is the first day of opening. The Jinghua Museum is open to the public free of charge, but the flow of people is restricted. Only 100 people are allowed to enter in each group.

The first batch of seats were all given to the guests who came to support us. Everyone came, so we had to let people go in and take a look.

The common people outside the door were a little disappointed that they could no longer see the stars. Some people left because of this, while others still insisted on standing at the door, some to see the stars, some to enter the museum, and some to do both.

Lin Weimin, like the first batch of guests, also entered the museum. Although this place is his private property, he has not come many times over the years. Maybe the employees responsible for security work don't know much about it.

After years of collection by Ma Dudu, the number of collections in the Jinghua Museum is extremely large, and the exquisiteness of the key collections is comparable to some handed down treasures, which has attracted many guests who came to express their admiration.

The scale of the Jinghua Museum is not large. In addition to some key cultural relics on display, there are also many rare cultural relics that cannot be seen all at once.

After shopping for more than an hour, seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Weimin asked Ma Dudu to arrange a hotel.

Everyone is here to support us today, so we can’t let anyone leave with an empty stomach. Although everyone is not short of this meal, the etiquette must not be lacking.

When this group of people came out, the crowd of onlookers at the door immediately became violent, shouting the names of these celebrities.

Good guy, even the police can't stop him.

"Leave quickly, leave quickly before anything else happens."

With so many celebrities gathered together, Lin Weimin understood the crowd's enthusiasm, but he never wanted there to be some kind of gang incident on the first day of the museum's opening.

Under the protection of several police officers, this group of actors broke away from the crowd. Seeing that they had all left, the crowd became quiet. Some people were still queuing up to enter the museum, and the rest were mostly Some people saw that the celebrities and big names were leaving, so they followed suit.

The excitement of the first day of the opening of the Jinghua Museum is now over.

Lunch was arranged at a nearby hotel. Everyone came to Lin Weimin, and Lin Weimin became a bridge and channel for everyone to communicate.

Liu Bei caught Wang Shuo talking about the script and asked him to write more scenes for him; Feng Xiaogang was flattering Zhang Yimou, um, asking for advice on director skills; Haiyan recommended his actors to Cheng Kaige.

Lin Weimin is today's protagonist. Ma Dudu sits next to him and occasionally exchanges a few words with him about the museum.

Lin Weimin's main focus was on Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, as well as Cheng Kaige and Cheng Hong.

The strong inertia of history caused Zhang Yimou and Gong Li to break up during the filming of "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", while Cheng Kaige also got together with Cheng Hong after the filming of "Feng Yue" ended.

Lin Weimin looked at these two couples and felt the gossip soul burning in his heart.

But given his status, he couldn't be too explicit and had to pretend to chat.

"Have you finished filming Kaige's "Feng Yue"?"

Cheng Kaige finally got rid of Haiyan's entanglement and smiled at Lin Weimin: "The filming is finished. After two years of hard work, it is finally finished and ready to go to Cannes."

"Have you decided to go to Cannes? Maybe it will be another Palme d'Or!" Lin Weimin said with a smile.

Cheng Kaige was obviously very confident in his new work. When faced with Lin Weimin's words, he was not modest at all, but smiled brightly.

Feng Xiaogang on the side looked at Cheng Kaige's performance with disdain.

Teacher Pang Shang Lin won a Palme d'Or on your thigh. Do you really think you are a great director?

As a poor boy, he instinctively felt disgusted when he saw Cheng Kaige, the proud son of heaven.

It's not so much disgust as it is a stress reaction due to low self-esteem.

"Master Kai, here's a drink to you!"

Feeling unhappy in his heart, Feng Xiaogang's face was full of smiles, and he toasted Cheng Kaige with a humble attitude.

After drinking, he used his flattery to make Cheng Kaige smile.

"I also watched your movie "Party A and Party B". It was very well shot. Although the artistic quality is a bit lacking, it has a strong commercial atmosphere and the box office was very good!"

Faced with Cheng Kaige's condescending tone, Feng Xiaogang felt disgusted and still smiled: "Hey, I just shot it blindly. How can I compare with you? "Farewell My Concubine" has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. It has won awards and With the box office, you are now a world-class director."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Kaige unconsciously glanced at Zhang Yimou, who was chatting with Gu Changwei.

That is his lifelong enemy!

In the past few years, he was firmly outclassed by Zhang Yimou, and finally managed to make a comeback with "Farewell My Concubine".

"Haha, Teacher Lin's original works are all well written." Cheng Kaige said with rare humility.

Feng Xiaogang thought to himself: Finally he mentioned Teacher Lin.

"It's also inseparable from your talent as a director. This time, for "Feng Yue", you have been sharpening your sword for two years and pointed it at the Palme d'Or. At this year's Cannes Film Festival, those foreign directors will be trembling."

Lin Weimin heard Feng Xiaogang's disgusting flattery, but he could hear a bit of Liu Zhenyun's style in it.

This grandson is digging a hole!

"On the stage where famous directors from all over the world compete for the Palme d'Or, who can guarantee that we will definitely win the award?" Cheng Kaige said. Just when Lin Weimin thought he was being modest, he continued: "But I and several members of this year's jury We all know each other fairly well, and since it’s a film festival, human relationships also play a small role.”

Feng Xiaogang's ignorant eyes widened when he heard this, with a bit of amazement on his face, "Otherwise, it would have to be you, Mr. Kai. This is like talking and laughing with great scholars, but not with white people. With this group of friends here, why? Worried about not getting the Palme d'Or in Cannes?"

After saying this, he added another sentence, "Of course, friends do not shy away from relatives. After all, your strength lies here!"

Cheng Kaige was coaxed to no end by Feng Xiaogang's few words. His chest and head resonated, and he smiled with great pride and high spirits.

Lin Weimin shook his head helplessly. What Feng Xiaogang, Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun did was really bad!

Kaizi finally came to support him and put him on such a high pedestal. After this Cannes Film Festival is over, how will Kaizi get off the stage?

Lin Weimin did not tell everyone that the film "Life is Beautiful" adapted from his novel "No matter what, life is beautiful" and written, directed and starred by Roberto Benigni has been confirmed to participate in this Cannes Film Festival .

"Life is Beautiful" VS "Feng Yue", will Kaizi win?
