1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 205 Can't You Hope I'll Be Better?

After staying in the hostel in Yanqing for several days, Lin Weimin really needs to tidy up.

It's getting colder and colder now, taking a bath in the bathhouse is simply the greatest enjoyment in the world.

Everyone sees each other naked, and no one will be shy.

When Han Zhuangzhuang entered the pool, there was a lot of water splashing, Lin Weimin said with disgust, "You can't be gentle."

Qu Xiaowei at the side said enviously, "My nephew is really rich."

Full of middle-aged men are greasy.

"Follow his uncle!" Lin Weimin said.

Qu Xiaowei squinted at Lin Weimin, that look was very hurtful.

"It's better than you no matter what!" Lin Weimin said sarcastically.

"But I have a wife!" Qu Xiaowei sarcastically said.

"No one is the same." Lin Weimin was not to be outdone.

Qu Xiaowei sneered, "Just you?"

Lin Weimin shook his head, not arguing with him, not only did I have it, but he was as good as Liu Haiyan from your family by a hundred blocks.

Seeing Lin Weimin's reaction, Qu Xiaowei asked Han Zhuangzhuang, "Zhuangzhuang, is this old uncle really in love?"

"I don't know!" Han Zhuangzhuang looked bewildered.

Does he have an old aunt?When did this happen?
Several faces flashed across Han Zhuangzhuang's mind, which one could it be?
Lin Weimin did a good job of keeping secrets, and almost no one around him knew about his dating.

"Hey, how many months has your Haiyan been?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Four months."

A smile appeared on Qu Xiaowei's face.

He and Liu Haiyan got married in April, and within a few months it was found out that they were pregnant, and he was about to upgrade to become a father.

"It's so fast!" Lin Weimin exclaimed.

"Yes!"

Qu Xiaowei touched his face, and couldn't help but think back to the days in the Institute of Literature.

"It's been more than two years in a flash." He looked at Lin Weimin, "Speaking of which, it seems that you have changed the most in our class."

Indeed, as Qu Xiaowei said, in the past two years, Lin Weimin's works have continued, and almost every work has been well received and well-known, including "Farewell My Concubine", which has sold more than millions of copies.

Coupled with the performance of dramas and novels, Lin Weimin's reputation has become more and more unique among young writers of his generation.

Writers who are in the same group as him are either much older than him, or their works are not as hard as his, or their popularity is not as high as his.

With such a horizontal comparison, Lin Weimin is really a scorpion in the domestic literary world—the only one.

"Everyone has changed a lot! For example, Lao Jiang, who has become popular in the past two years. And Gu Hua, "Furong Town" and "The Wooden House Covered with Ivy" are so popular..."

"Just a few."

Qu Xiaowei's tone was somewhat emotional. They were all in the same class at first, but now it's only been two years, and the development of the students has gradually formed an echelon.

Lin Weimin, Jiang Zilong, and Gu Hua, the three of them are considered to be the first among boys, and they have already established their own names in the literary world, and their popularity among readers across the country is also very high.

The remaining people can be divided into two groups, one group is small famous people, such as Jia Dashan, Jiao Yundian, etc., and the other group is unknown.

Qu Xiaowei belongs to the latter category. Of course, he doesn't write any more now.

Among the girls, Huang Anyi and Jin Ying's development is considered the best, followed by Tang Kangmei, Liu Shuhua and Huang Xiaoying are far behind.

"It's like this in any industry. The development of our class is already very good. Except for you, everyone is still in this industry."

When Lin Weimin spoke, he did not forget to mention Qu Xiaowei incidentally, which made him very depressed.

"You are amazing, who can compare with you, Lin Weimin, the great writer Lin!"

Qu Xiaowei made a sarcasm, and Lin Weimin couldn't help laughing because of his sour tone.

"You are Teacher Lin Weimin?"

While the two were talking, a young man next to him who was about to get out of the pool asked Lin Weimin with a look of surprise.

Lin Weimin turned his head and looked over, his first reaction was, why does this man have such a roe-headed mouse?It's still not as good as Chen Xiaoer's, especially those two half-cut eyebrows, it's uncomfortable to watch.

The more Lin Weimin looked at this person, the more familiar he became, and the young man asked again: "Are you really Teacher Lin Weimin?"

The shrill voice opened the memory door in Lin Weimin's mind, and he finally remembered.

Isn't this Madudu!
"I am, you are..."

With a warm smile on Ma Dudu's face, he stretched out his hand across the pool.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Ma Dudu, and I am the editor of "Youth Literature" now."

Of course Lin Weimin knew about Ma Dudu, but he didn't know that he was working as an editor. He smiled and said, "Hey, let's go together!"

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence."

"I remember that you wrote the article "Tonight's Full Moon" in the "China Youth Daily", right?" Lin Weimin asked.

Ma Dudu felt flattered, "Ms. Lin, have you read my clumsy work yet?"

Lin Weimin looked benevolent, "The novel is well written."

"Thank you, thank you!"

While chatting, Ma Dudu entered the pool.

Lin Weimin's kind and peaceful demeanor made Ma Dudu feel like a spring breeze. The chat lasted for almost half an hour, and he almost lost his mind.

"Come to our editorial department when you have time."

"Definitely, I will come and play with you later."

Ma Dudu responded with a face of honor.

Comrade Xiao Ma has good eyesight in the antique business, and Mr. Lin is worried that he can't find someone to help collect some antiques.

I left a thread, and with Ma Dudu's personality, he would definitely come to Lin Weimin. Who of them wouldn't want to meet two famous friends!

Back home at night, Lin Weimin took the time to write a letter to Tao Huimin.

After get off work the next day, he went to Renyi and discussed the details of the adaptation of "The Horse Man" with Ouyang Shanzun and Lan Yinhai.

The structure of "The Horseman" itself is very suitable for drama adaptation, but because the length is too grand, it must be appropriately cut.

The time span in the novel spans 20 years and cannot be represented in three acts.

Lin Weimin discussed with the two, and finally chose the "three unifications" structure, dividing the script into upper and lower parts, with a total of eight acts.

The structure of "The Man on the Horse" happens to take the break between Bayin and Battelle as the midpoint, so the arrangement is appropriate.

The "Three Unities" was first proposed by Italian drama theorists during the Renaissance, and later became the basic principle of European classical drama structure.

It is worth mentioning that the earliest drama written in China using the "Three Uniforms" structure is "Thunderstorm".

After discussing the crucial issue of script structure, Lan Yinhai joked, "Weimin, you are paying tribute to Mr. Wan!"

After joking a few words, Ouyang Shanzun talked about "Farewell My Concubine" again.

The performance of "Farewell My Concubine" in Shanghai was an unprecedented success. Not only was it hard to find a ticket for the performance, but it was also reported by newspapers in Shanghai and surrounding provinces and cities.

I am afraid to join in the fun of everything, and the successful performance of "Farewell My Concubine" in Shanghai has made many other cities in China feel a little novel.

In the early 80s, the domestic cultural atmosphere was extremely strong, and the drama market also achieved unprecedented development through this shareholder style.

"Many cities have sent invitations to the courtyard, hoping that we can go to their performances." Ouyang Shanzun said with a bit of excitement in his tone, but also with a bit of nostalgia: "The last time there was such a The treatment was still in the first few years of "Teahouse"."

Lin Weimin chuckled and said, "If you really want to go to the courtyard, you have to hurry up and not delay the arrangement for next year."

Lan Yinhai said: "That is to say, this can be regarded as a trouble of happiness."

A few people said and laughed.

When he went to work the next day, when he was about to leave work in the afternoon, Wang Shuo found Lin Weimin with a depressed face.

Lin Weimin left early for a while, followed him to the restaurant and ordered two dishes.

"You're really right, the restaurant can't keep going." Wang Shuo looked up to the sky and sighed.

His Tianfu Restaurant is one of the first batch of private Sichuan cuisine restaurants in Yanjing City. It is not unreasonable for Sichuan cuisine to become popular in the domestic catering market. The cook Wang Shuo found is also considered reliable. It has only opened for half a year now, and it should not be so fast. Just stop cooking.

But he and Xie Jing are both face-saving people, and they have a lot of friends, so they come here to save face, how can they ask for money from their buddies!

Such a way of doing business, let alone a restaurant, even a golden mountain will have to be emptied.

After holding on for half a year, recently Wang Shuo and Xie Jing couldn't hold on any longer, and the bad money they made by dumping electronic watches was almost gone.

After hearing Wang Shuo's words, Lin Weimin gloated and said, "What did I say? What's the matter? I'm out of underwear, and you plan to come to my place for dinner?"

Wang Shuo couldn't help glaring.

Lin Weimin said unhurriedly: "It just so happens that "Contemporary" will introduce a group of newcomers in January next year, are you interested?"

"Push newcomers?" Wang Shuo's tone was somewhat surprised.

Lin Weimin briefly explained to him, and Wang Shuo hesitated for a moment, "I won't participate. I will close the restaurant and go back to my old business."

The old line of course refers to the inverted electronic watch.

Lin Weimin didn't care, "It's up to you, so why are you looking for me today?"

Wang Shuo complained, "I'm fine, so I can't come to you?"

"can."

"Made, have you ever opened your mouth?" Wang Shuo expressed admiration, but also a little resentment.

Lin Weimin wasn't angry either, and said with a smile, "Since you said so, I'll reveal another secret to you."

Wang Shuo suddenly became a little nervous, "What secret?"

"Let's turn around the electronic watch, you two may not be able to do it for long."

Wang Shuo looked at Lin Weimin's nagging expression and wanted to give him a big blow.

Can't you hope that I will be better?

　The computer is broken, and I have to wait four to five days for a replacement. The codewriting on the mobile phone is slow these days, and it is [-] a day for the time being. Please bear with me, and I will never buy a thin and light notebook again.
