Back to 80: My Literary Life

Well, he was the editor-in-chief, and his vision is really good.

"I went to Yanjing for a meeting this time, and a friend recommended this collection of novels to me to see if it can be published in Shengshi Books. After reading it carefully, I think it is good." Fang Minghua said: "So I went to Shencheng and handed it to Vice President Dai of Shengshi Books."

"Ah?!" Wang Zi looked at the two people in surprise after hearing it.

I thought it was an erotic novel, but it actually has such high literary value.

Seeing Wang Zi's surprised expression, Fang Minghua said: "Wang Zi, you will understand its value if you read it carefully. Okay, there is nothing else, I'm leaving first. Hey, Bai Miao, let's go fishing this Sunday."

"Oh. When did you fall in love with this thing?"

"Hehe, I just fell in love with it."

"Okay, but I'm not good at fishing." Bai Miao said.

"I'm a beginner too, it's settled."

On the weekend morning, Bai Miao really came to Fang Minghua's house. The two of them took their fishing rods and drove to Fenghe Yizhi Lake to go fishing. Unfortunately, the two rookies were empty-handed.

After returning to the city, in order to avoid being laughed at by their wives and children at home, the two of them tacitly went to the aquatic product wholesale market on Tanshi Street to buy two crucian carps, and then went home.

Of course, Fang Minghua's main task recently is to write the script of "In the Name of the People". He was busy until mid-May when the script was finally completed.

There are a total of 45 episodes, which is shorter than the original one. The main consideration is that it is now a film era and the cost of shooting.

Song Tangtang is the first reader.

"Minghua, I think your script is a bit different from the novel." Song Tangtang snuggled up to Fang Minghua, and the two squeezed into the computer chair at the same time, looking at the computer screen.

Recently, Song Tangtang always likes to read the script this way.

"Why is it different?" Fang Minghua asked back.

"The script has a tighter rhythm, more intense conflicts, and fuller emotions."

"That's right. Novels and scripts are originally two different literary themes. Who wants to read a bland plot? Long paragraphs of lines, and the two sides are on the verge of a fight, don't they look more exciting?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Yes, but this change will weaken the literary value of the novel. Of course, as an investor, I like this change!" Song Tangtang said with a smile.

"That's it, then. Hello, have you found a director?"

"I'm worrying about this." Song Tangtang showed a trace of distress on her face.

Originally, I wanted to continue to let Wu Tianmin direct. His "Yanjing People in New York" was very good, but he is now busy filming his "Face Off" and has no time. "

"What else?"

"Wu Tianmin doesn't seem to be interested in filming TV series."

"Haha, which director who is good at making movies likes to make TV series? Look down on it. Ask Zhang Yimou if he is willing to make TV series again? I guess he is not willing to do it either."

"That's the reason, but who should I find? I originally wanted to ask Director Wang Fulin to direct, but after contacting him, he said that he was too tired after filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and needed a rest. "Song Tangtang said.

Wang Fulin is one of the most famous TV directors of this era. In addition to the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which is about to be broadcast, he directed the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" in 1987, which became a classic.

"Where is Guo Baochang?"

"I have also contacted him. He is currently filming the opera TV series "Big Boss Cheng Changgeng" to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Anhui Opera Troupe's entry into Beijing. He has no schedule."

Oh.

Guo Baochang is the director of "The Mansion Gate", but this TV series has not been released yet.

In fact, in the early 1990s, apart from the older generation such as Yang Jie and Wang Fulin, the most powerful middle-generation TV directors in the mainland were Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang and several other directors from the Yanjing Television Art Center.

However, in the early 1990s, after Shengshi Film and Television broke off negotiations with Zheng Xiaolong over the filming of "Ordinary World", the two companies never cooperated again, and they were secretly competing with each other. If you now ask the director of the Yanjing Television Art Center to direct, I guess the other party will not agree.

Besides, with Song Tangtang arrogance, nor would he beg them humbly.

Who should I look for then?

Fang Minghua sat on the chair, thinking about this in his mind.

The original director of "In the Name of the People" was Li Lu, but he is still young and seems to have never seen any TV series. Fang Minghua is worried about handing the script to him now.

He doesn't want the other party to practice with this script.

In addition, people like Kong Sheng, Gao Xixi, and Kang Honglei are still young and are still unknown juniors in the industry.

Oh. By the way, Fang Minghua suddenly thought of a director.

"Hey, Tangtang, have you heard of Feng Xiaoning?"

"Feng Xiaoning? Is he the director of "Beiyang Navy"? "

"Yes, that's him. This TV series won the "Flying Award" for Best TV Series last year. He also made the movie "War Meridian"! "

"Yeah, I've seen this movie. It won the 11th Golden Rooster Award for Director Special Award." Song Tangtang said: "He is a capable director, but I don't know which film studio he is from. I will ask around after work tomorrow. ”

“Haha, no need to bother, go ask Zhang Yimou.” Fang Minghua said with a smile.

“Ask him?”

“Feng Xiaoning and Zhang Yimou were classmates at Yandian. When I was drinking with Zhang Yimou once, he talked about the classmates in their class. He especially mentioned Feng Xiaoning, who was born in Xijing and is considered a fellow villager. ”

“Really? That’s great, I’ll contact Zhang Yimou when I go to work tomorrow!”

“Also, I suggest that Wang Zhiwen play the leading role in this TV series.”

"Wang Zhiwen, is he the actor who played in the TV series "Getting High"? "

"Yes, that's him! His image and temperament are very suitable for the role of Hou Pingliang, and Wang Zhiwen is also a graduate of Yanjing Film Studio. He has a solid line foundation. Listening to his acting is simply amazing!" Fang Minghua said.

"I'll suggest this to the director after he decides on it." Song Tangtang said.

"Okay."

Fang Minghua was just suggesting it, and the director has the final say on whether it will succeed or not.

He doesn't want to be a coal boss now.

Feng Xiaoning was quite good in the 1990s. He not only made TV series, but also movies. "Red River Valley", "Yellow River Love" and "Purple Sun" are all excellent movies.

However, in the later period, I don't know if he ran out of ideas, and the movies and TV series he made were not satisfactory.

He is still at his peak now.

Soon, with the help of Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaoning of Yanjing Youth Film Studio was contacted. With Zhang Yimou as a lobbyist, Feng Xiaoning agreed to it when he heard that it was Minghua's script again.

Shengshi Company immediately began to assist Feng Xiaoning in forming a filming team.

At the same time, as a film about official anti-corruption, it is inevitable to connect with the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs. In order to obtain support, Song Tangtang often went in and out of the compound of the Provincial High Procuratorate.

On the side of Shengshi Books, the novel "In the Name of the People", which was prepared for four months, finally met with readers.
