1980 My literary era

The acquisition of "The Fairy Tale King" and the signing of the contract with Zheng Yuanjie cost the Chinese Literature Society a lot of money and resources. In the past, Lao Cheng would definitely have to nag a few words, but now he has no say. He only reviews manuscripts every day, and finally leads a life of a cow horse.

This was not said by Lin Weimin, but Comrade Lao Cheng's complaint.

Regarding his complaints, Comrade Lao Zhou educated him without Lin Weimin having to say anything.

"Look at you, an old comrade. There is no distinction between high and low in the revolutionary division of labor. This idea of ​​yours is very problematic now!"

Cheng Zaochun snorted coldly when he heard this, "I think you two are the same as each other now."

Lao Zhou would definitely not admit his accusation, and Lin Weimin would definitely not admit it.

We are all gay, how come there are so many mountains?

Just after the meeting, Lin Weimin spanked a few words with Cheng and Tuesday, and then asked them again.

"This afternoon there will be a preview screening of "See You or Die". Come over and take a look?"

Lao Cheng and Lao Zhou immediately showed strong interest.

When they were young, the best way to spend time was watching movies. At that time, they couldn't even read books, only movies.

After lunch, Lao Cheng and Lao Zhou didn't use the company's car, so they went to Lin Weimin's.

The three of them came to Wenhua Film and Television. In order to facilitate internal screening, Yu Dong set up a small screening room here.

"See You or Be Parted" is the third film directed by Feng Xiaogang independently. Now he is no longer the unknown person he was before.

"Party A and Party B" became a hit on domestic big screens last year, making his name famous in the domestic film industry.

It's just that the current domestic film industry is still dominated by art films and academic films. Feng Xiaogang, who has no awards and no background, is still not welcomed by the mainstream film industry.

His name is probably not known at all.

It was the first time for Lao Cheng and Lao Zhou to appear on such an occasion. Lin Weimin introduced the two to the main creators of the "See You or Separate" crew.

In addition to Feng Xiaogang, those here today also have the screenwriter Wang Shuo, and the male and female leading actors Ge You and Liu Bei.

Lao Cheng actually took advantage of the break before the screening to take a photo with Liu Bei and ask for an autograph, which made Da Sa Mi extremely happy.

Such a big boss asked her to sign an autograph, it would be dignified if she told her about it!

Lin Weimin looked at Cheng Wuchun with strange eyes, "Old Cheng, I didn't see it, he's quite thoughtful!"

Cheng Wanchun's face showed a bit of embarrassment when he teased him, "I'm just appreciating..."

"I understand, I understand. My idol!"

Lin Weimin didn't give him a chance to explain, and asked Lao Zhou next to him: "Old Zhou, don't you go and get an autograph?"

Lao Zhou looked disdainful, "How old are you? What do you need that thing for?"

As soon as these words came out, it caused a critical damage to Lao Cheng. His face turned red, and he became more certain that Lin Weimin and Lao Zhou were colluding and collaborating.

While several people were bickering, the movie started to show.

After the familiar opening, there are empty shots, camera movements, and the perspective inside a taxi.

Ge You, who was dressed as a gangster, smashed the car glass, took out the cash box in the car, and left easily.

The camera changes angle to reveal the crew filming. This is obviously a scene within a scene.

Ge You got in and drove away in a car.

"Stop, good job!" the director on the scene shouted.

…

This is the third movie. From the opening, Feng Xiaogang showed more control than the previous two movies. Ge You's performance is also more relaxed, which is a state he can only show in Wang Shuo's script and Feng Xiaogang's lens.

The plot of "See You or Separate" is no different from what Lin Weimin saw in later generations, except that the heroine became Liu Bei. Anyway, Lin Weimin felt that Liu Bei and Ge You were more suitable as lovers.

The film is 100 minutes long, has richer content than "Party A and Party B", and has gradually moved away from the sketch-style plot.

After the screening, Feng Xiaogang asked everyone with a smile on his face: "What do leaders think? If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them and we will actively make corrections."

As a comedy film, the production quality of "See You or Separate" is very high. We are not those film critics who pursue high-end movies. After watching the movie, they all gave praise.

Feng Xiaogang smiled happily as he accepted everyone's praise. Compared with his pride, Wang Shuo's sense of existence is getting lower and lower.

Although he is still one of the soul characters in Feng Xiaogang's movies, now that the "Feng Xiaogang" brand has gradually been revealed, in comparison, his brilliance is no longer as dazzling as before.

Therefore, Wang Shuo was neither happy nor excited at today's preview event.

While they were enjoying themselves at the scene, Lao Cheng discovered that Lao Zhou actually went to find Ge You to take a picture together. He immediately became angry: "You are so old, and you are still chasing stars?"

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "I want this for my wife. It's not like some people, who are old and full of tricks."

Lao Cheng was speechless by the rebuke. After thinking about it, he also ran to find Ge You and take a picture together.

With this group photo, it becomes more reasonable to ask for a group photo with Liu Bei. It will be easier for him to go home and do business.

As for Lao Zhou's teasing and sarcasm, he didn't care at all. Why didn't he stop farming when he heard the crickets chirping?

While Lao Zhou and Lao Cheng were bickering, Lin Weimin was chatting with Feng Xiaogang and Yu Dong about the release of "See You or Separate".

This year Feng Xiaogang is back with "See You or Be Parted", and it is still locked in the Lunar New Year release, and it is still scheduled to be released on December 24, Christmas Eve in the West.

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular for young people to celebrate the Western Festival, especially young couples. Even if it is not a holiday, they will go out on dates at night.

There is still a month left before the movie is released, and the movie's promotion work has almost started. However, the early stage is mainly based on media releases. Yu Dong has been in charge of Mandarin for more than a year, and he is already familiar with this kind of thing.

After this internal screening, Wenhua Film and Television will also organize a trial screening, inviting industry peers and media reporters, which is also part of the preliminary publicity work.

The few chatted briefly, and Lin Weimin patted Ge You on the shoulder again and joked: "Some reporters called last month 'Jiang Wenyue', I think this year can be called 'Ge Younian'."

Ge You was flattered, "Don't hurt me, I'll just act."

In the past two months, "Something to Say" and "Qin Song" have been released one after another. They are all movies by big directors and big investors. Jiang Wen is the protagonist, which makes him the most popular in the domestic film industry.

Compared with Jiang Wen, Ge You's performance is not bad at all. He made a cameo in "Speak Well", was also the protagonist in "Qin Song", and was the absolute leading actor in "See You or Separate".

The only regret is that "Song of Qin" was released after only four days of release and did not have a strong influence.

Feng Xiaogang also smiled and said: "Although I am a junior director, our uncle Ge is a heavyweight in the film industry. Jiang Wen cannot compare with him."

"I will remember these words and teach you Jiang Wen later." Wang Shuo said sadly.

"Master Shuo, please don't tease me. Didn't I just follow Teacher Lin's words?" Feng Xiaogang quickly apologized.

Seeing that Feng Xiaogang no longer looked proud, Wang Shuo nodded with satisfaction.

On the weekend, Lin Weimin's family of three went to Shi Tiesheng's home as guests.

Not long after the family of three entered the house, several friends dragged their family to Shi Tiesheng's house.

Everyone acted in unison and in perfect agreement.

Cheng Ximi said that when Father Shi was alive, he rarely spoke, but after his death, the family still felt a lot more deserted. Shi Tiesheng has been in a very low mood recently. He locks himself in his study every day, always wanting to write something, but every time he puts pen to paper, he doesn't know how to start. This feeling makes him very painful.

The arrival of the friends suddenly made the Shi family, which had been calm for a few days, lively, and even the mood of Shi Tiesheng and his wife improved a lot.

The "East China Sea Literature Award" was presented a few days ago. Because of Shi's father's sudden death, Shi Tiesheng did not go to the scene to receive the award, but the bonus and certificate were still sent to him. This is good news.

After everyone chatted for a while, Cheng Simi got up and went to prepare lunch. There were many people at home today, so it would take some time to prepare lunch. Several lesbians also went to the kitchen to get busy.

Xiaodoubao was studying a pot of succulents raised by Shi Tiesheng, with an eager expression on his face. It seems that she will not be willing to kill this potted flower.

Lin Weimin shouted, stopping Xiaodoubao from stretching out his fleshy claws. She ran over reluctantly, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"Come and recite "Wang Yue" to your uncle."

Evil adults, one of their most vicious ways of destroying the flowers of the motherland is to let them perform in public.

Xiaodoubao reluctantly betrayed:

"Wangyue

Tang Du Fu

How about Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.

…”

Several adults on the side listened with great interest, and after listening to it, they did not forget to praise, "Bean Bao is really amazing. He can memorize such a difficult Tang poem at the age of four."

Xiaodou Bao was disdainful. These adults really had never seen the world. She could recite a lot of Tang poems.

"Thank you, uncle!" She smiled sweetly.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Shi Tiesheng took off the heavy shackles he had been feeling these days and took the initiative to bring up the ideas he had been brewing recently.

"I always want to write something for my father, but I can't." Shi Tiesheng's face showed a bit of guilt.

That kind of guilt not only includes the guilt for his father's obscurity for decades, but also the self-blame of not being able to write a commemorative text as a son of a man and a writer. It also contains a kind of shame in facing it because he In the work, the treatment given to the deceased mother is much higher than that of the father.

"We Chinese have different attitudes towards our parents. The image of mother is always loving, while the image of father is always majestic. Compared with mother, father is always more difficult to write about. Sun Li wrote "Memory of Father" in It was 1984, but in that year, 37 years had passed since his father passed away."

Lin Weimin's words gave Shi Tiesheng some comfort. He was silent for a while and said, "Maybe I'm too anxious."

Although he said this, there was still some regret on his face. He asked: "Do you have any good ideas if I write about my father?"

"Writing about father?" Lin Weimin pondered, thinking of Father Shi, Mr. Wan, and his father whose memory in this life has been blurred.

"If I were to write it, I'd better write a novel."

“How should I write my father’s story?”

Lin Weimin looked out the window into the distance, and some pictures flashed before his eyes.

"Just write, there is a man named Lao Shitou'er. He has a bad temper. He gets up early every day and patrols around the family home. He will curse loudly for the quarrels between his neighbors and accuse the neighbor of occupying too much time in the public kitchen. He would kick down a bicycle that was not parked in the carport and then push it into the carport. He would also curse the child in the building opposite who would cry every night in the middle of the night.

Old Shitou'er has just retired. He has an eccentric temper, dislikes both east and west, and has an indestructible principle. The family home is his territory, and the neighbors suffer from it every day when they live with him..."

A stubborn, stubborn, bad-tempered little old man who could get angry at any time came to life in Lin Weimin's mouth. He was completely different from the father in Shi Tiesheng's impression, but for some reason, he was fascinated by it.

Not only him, but also several people around him gradually became addicted to Lin Weimin's plain narrative.
