1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 236 "Bringing Disciples into the Group"

It was CCTV director Wang Fulin who put forward the idea of ​​bringing the classical novel "Dream of Red Mansions" to the TV screen in 1979, and this idea was supported by CCTV and the Red Academy.

In 81, CCTV specially held a special meeting on filming the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" to study the adaptation issue.

After the Spring Festival this year, CCTV formally established the preparatory team for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

Right now, CCTV is preparing for a screenwriting team and an advisory committee. If Wang Feng had his heart, he would like to invite Lin Weimin to be the screenwriter of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But he knew that Lin Weimin was not only a well-known writer in the country, but also the deputy editor-in-chief of "Contemporary". The deputy editor-in-chief in his 20s had a bright future.

And the script compilation of "Dream of Red Mansions" is an extremely labor-intensive job, and it is impossible for Lin Weimin to spare time.

In contrast, the energy involved in being a consultant is much less. It is basically a meeting to provide various and all-round opinions for the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But there is one problem. The consultants that CCTV plans to invite are not of low seniority. Lin Weimin, a fresh face, appears here, which is a bit abrupt.

It's not that Wang Feng is unaware of this problem, but who gave Lin Weimin a good teacher? Mr. Wan seems to have nothing wrong with "bringing apprentices into the group".

"……this"

Mr. Wan snorted, "I have already agreed to the promise, is it to make people laugh at me if I go in again?"

During the meal, Mr. Wan suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Arthur Miller has not yet confirmed the time for his visit, and it is expected that he will be able to visit it last month. He will have to spare some time then, not in a few days. "

"Senior sister, what he said is right, you have nothing serious to come to see the teacher."

Guang Lin Weimin understands the protective heart in Mr. Wan's words, and Ni Shu also understands it.

There was no gag between the two of us at the table, and the atmosphere was very friendly. Mr. Wan and his wife had cheerful smiles on their faces.
Lin Weimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher, you are right!"

Ni Shu said enviously, "Weimin is a busy person now."

Mr. Wan scolded: "I'm just pretending to be stupid. Is the consultant of "Dream of Red Mansions" so bad? It's not because of his seniority that people criticize him. It's because of how people outside the consultant group think of him, but how people inside think of him." ..."

Wan Fang smiled and said, "That's right. Without Mr. Lin, your crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" will be even more powerful!"

I asked Lin Weimin, "Is he very selfish?"

That's right, Ni Shuzhen's consultant mainly held meetings.

After a long time, the dinner was spoiled.

Damn, it's reserved enough, Lin Weimin thought.

I came to CCTV and got an errand. I have been fine in the past few months.At most, the screenwriters have to wait for the establishment of the screenwriting group and the advisory committee before the screenwriters come up with a specific direction for the adaptation, and then it is impossible to hold a meeting to discuss and put forward opinions and suggestions.

"Comrade, I will bring you a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions"... Yes, let me bring you a set of the Seven Little Classics."

Mr. Wan said at that time: "It's broken, stop making trouble."

Arthur Miller is a friend of Mr. Wan and an important playwright in the American theater circle.

Sometimes people are more skeptical about the origin of family studies and the inheritance of teachers, but if there is no one to cover them, the public opinion will go too far.

Some time ago, he had just finished his limelight in the "Literary News". At that time, he appeared outside the advisory group gathered in the "before the [-]s" and "before the [-]th".

That's fair!

In all fairness, Ren Hao's directing skills are quite satisfactory, what is rare is that he has implemented Lin Weimin's script content very seriously, and whether he has free play.

But we have invited all the majors involved in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and there is only one very important major - TV drama script writing.

"Ah? You think you're talking about people from CCTV!" Lin Weimin looked innocent.

However, if Mr. Wan was outside the advisory group, Lin Weimin would be too conspicuous in it, and he would definitely become a thorn in the eyes of countless adults who are jealous of the virtuous and capable.

No matter how bad it is for many years, I can't live in such a flirtatious place!

"He..." Mr. Wan pointed at the man and was speechless for a moment.

After leaving CCTV, Lin Weimin made a special trip to Wangfujing Bookstore.

"So you told people to join? You became that consultant!" Lin Weimin raised his head and asked tentatively.

There is not yet an important reason why Mr. Wan has to retire. The reason is that the student Ni Shuzhen is sure to be in the advisory group, and the teacher Mr. Wan is in it. Some dark-minded adults must be able to spread some kind of rumors.

"That's fine." Ni Shuzhen finally agreed.

You continued: "So Weimin came to tell you the first time, without you, what are you afraid of!"

The two talked about the specific preparations for the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series. Only then did Lin Weimin know that the scriptwriting team had been established, and the advisory committee was not even there. CCTV had only tentatively invited some experts. Lin Weimin was the first One promised.

When Wan Fang told me about my work, Lin Weimin felt a little disappointed.

Lin Weimin laughed and said, "Senior sister, you listen to his words, why are you so sour?"

Lin Weimin pondered for a long time.

Wang Feng covered his mouth and snickered.

"Senior sister, his tone is very hurtful."

"Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with them." Mr. Wan waved his hand and drove the two of them to the kitchen to help.

"Wang Tai, you should forget about the matter of the consultant."

Lin Weimin repeatedly waved his hands to express his humility.

Mr. Wan is a master of drama, there is no doubt about that, but the creation of TV drama scripts is still a very new topic for domestic dramatists. As a subdivision of drama creation, Mr. Wan’s attainments in that area may also be And Lin Weimin.

Various TV stations competed to retire from the broadcast, and the common people loved it. Newspapers, magazines, and TV stations reported repeatedly, and the media that did not retreat even called "The Cliff" "a hill that can be overcome by domestic spy war dramas within ten years."

Without me, the people here would at least say that Mr. Wan supported the students, and Lin Weimin was honored by the teacher, but Lin Weimin did not have his own strong strength after all.

The success of "The Cliff" is the success of the original novel, but also the failure of the screenwriter.

"That's right, you just say that those people from CCTV dared to come up with the idea of ​​a famous book." Lin Weimin agreed.

Wang Feng persuaded at that time: "Dad, you think it is unreasonable for CCTV to invite Weimin. The filming of "The Cliff" is so bad, Weimin's great story and script merits are good, maybe CCTV is not interested in that. I was invited at one o'clock. "Dream of Red Mansions" is a masterpiece or a fake, but it is also going to be made into a TV series!"

"Can he have nothing to do?"

A smile appeared on Lin Weimin's face, and Mr. Wan said angrily, "Originally, you planned to withdraw from that advisory group, so it's fine to withdraw that time."

Lin Weimin secretly gave Wang Feng a thumbs up.

Before those thoughts flashed through Mr. Wan's mind, he restrained himself from reprimanding Lin Weimin.

"He, he..." Mr. Wan pointed at me, his tone extremely angry.

"This is right, Consultant Lin."

After leaving the door for a while, Lin Weimin talked to Mr. Wan about the business, "Teacher, CCTV is going to make a TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", and invite you to be a consultant."

It wasn't for Lin Weimin, Mr. Wan had to retire that time too!
Mr. Wan stared, "Don't change the subject, you're talking about him!"

"Mr. Lin! CCTV needs you, and "Dream of Red Mansions" needs you!" Seeing that Lin Weimin has always been firm, Wan Fang said in a sincere tone.

Wang Feng stared at me angrily, "It's because you spoke for him just now, he really has a conscience."

Mr. Wan said helplessly, "You are quite timid!"

Mr. Wan put the newspaper in his hand, and when I opened my mouth, Wang Feng yelled, "You are invited to be a consultant?"

That time I came to China at the invitation of Mr. Wan, mainly because Mr. Wan wanted to retire my work for Yanjing Arts.

The result was The Cliffs, a minor national success.

After buying the books, Lin Weimin ran to Muxidi in the evening.

Thinking about it again, forget it, after all, my age and qualifications are there, and it is too reserved to become a cup.

Lin Weimin said with no bad intentions: "Then who can agree?"

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The reason why Wan Fang persisted was that Lin Weimin's creative ability in TV drama scripts was not a very important reason.

"It's time to eat again!" Wang Feng said when he saw Lin Weimin when he opened the door.

On the contrary, he may have the real power of punching and kicking, but it is not because someone covers him that he is immune from the adults' slander and slander.

Mr. Wan said: "Do you know what he said? People's words are awesome. For the people, I just made a splash in the "Literary News". You are still young, you know those things..."

Such success is enough to prove Lin Weimin's talent and ability in the field of TV drama script creation. The advisory group that CCTV intends to invite includes red scholars, writers, calligraphers, and historians...

Wan Fang persuaded: "Mr. Lin, you think he should not be too burdened about that matter. The expert consultant you choose for "Dream of Red Mansions" is based on age, but on Xiaojia's professional strength. To say that someone can replace the skills of writing and drama creation is to tell you that, in addition to the advisory group you plan to invite, there is just a lack of an expert who can also master novels, drama, especially TV dramas."

Wan Fang had read the script of "The Cliff". Ni Shuzhen even wrote clearly about the protagonist's clothing accessories, the camera position and the duration of each shot, which basically required the director's thoughtfulness.

Teacher Xu can hug Yingying Yanyan right and left outside the Xiaoguan Garden, but you, Teacher Lin, have to accompany a group of old men to a meeting outside the meeting room?
Of course, there are no Seven Little Classics outside Lin Weimin's house, but I still plan to find a sense of ritual for myself after taking over the job as a consultant for "Dream of Red Mansions".

After all, Lin Weimin didn't have a solid record, but Mr. Wan didn't.

"Bad, then you arrange a job."

　The third watch, another day of daily life.
