1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 257 The Noisy "Dream of Red Mansions" Symposium
Everyone looked at Lin Weimin, not knowing where he came up with such a sentence.

Where can it come from? It's just looking for something to say.

Lin Weimin looked at Tong Zhonggui, and asked with a smile: "Little Tong is not bad, he is "Flying Apsaras" and "Stars", and he plans to become a poet in the future?"

"No, no, it's just a hobby." Tong Zhonggui waved his hands hastily.

In the editorial department of "Contemporary", boasting or being praised for his achievements in literature is a bit suspected of cheating, but there is a great master sitting here.

He explained to Lin Weimin: "All the students around me like poetry, and I like it too. Not only poetry, but I also write novels."

"Oh? You also write novels? That's great, you can send them to our publications in the future!"

Tong Zhonggui scratched his head, "I'm afraid my level is not enough."

"How could it be? After all, he is also a person who has been featured in "Flying Apsaras" and "Stars". With a little effort, getting into our publication is definitely not a problem."

Lin Weimin's encouragement made Tong Zhonggui secretly happy.

The small talk in the office continued for a while, and everyone got back to work.

Tong Zhonggui, who has just arrived, is earnestly doing the first task assigned to him by Lin Weimin. Looking at the letters of contribution, he has a bit of ambition in his heart.

In the future, I will also contribute to "Contemporary"!

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Lin Weimin received a call from CCTV, informing him that the advisory group had been prepared.

Two days later, in the morning, Lin Weimin rode a motorcycle to the Broadcasting Compound. Today is the first symposium for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

Before entering the building, Lin Weimin saw a car parked at the door of the building, and two young people lifted an old man out of the car.

At this time, a few people came out of the building to greet them, and the one in the lead was Wang Feng, the director of CCTV.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, don't come here if you are inconvenient."

The frail old man gasped and said, "I have to take a look at such a big event."

While talking, Wang Feng ordered the old man to be carried upstairs quickly, so that he could talk to Lin Weimin.

"teacher LIN!"

"What's the situation?"

"Zhou Yang, Mr. Zhou, the experts on the "Dream of Red Mansions" advisory group we invited, are getting old and not in good health recently, so we originally called to ask him to recuperate at home.

Now the adaptation work of "Dream of Red Mansions" has just started, and this symposium is the first step in the Long March.

But I didn't expect him to come anyway, alas! "

Wang Feng said and sighed.

Lin Weimin's expression became serious. For a person of Mr. Zhou's level, there is no such thing as showing off. There is only one reason for him to insist on attending the symposium despite the torment of his body.

That is to better present the TV drama version of "Dream of Red Mansions" to TV audiences across the country.

Readers and viewers of later generations will find it hard to imagine that it's just a TV series, is it worth such a fuss?
Maybe everyone has forgotten what those literary and artistic creations that serve the people are called.

Comrades of the older generation used their bodies to fulfill the oath they once made!

The conference room for the symposium was on the third floor. Lin Weimin followed Wang Feng into the conference room. At this time, many people were already seated in the conference room.

At this time, Mr. Wan happened to have arrived. Lin Weimin went up to greet him, and Mr. Wan introduced him to several old comrades who had arrived earlier.

"This is the Red Scholar Zhou Ruchang, Mr. Zhou!"

"This is Mr. Qigong!"

"This is Mr. Wu Zuxiang!"

When Mr. Wan introduced Lin Weimin, he would emphasize one sentence: "This is my student!"

Mr. Wu Zuxiang had previously told Lin Weimin and his class of "A Dream of Red Mansions" at the Institute of Literature and Literature. He had some impressions of Lin Weimin and said with a smile: "Don't stress so much, I know you have accepted a good student!"

Mr. Wan also laughed, "It's just some insignificant achievements. I am lucky enough to come to the advisory group to open my eyes."

In front of the consultant group of experts who were all born in the [-]s, Lin Weimin's age and appearance were indeed too conspicuous. Mr. Wan was actually defending him by saying this.

Fortunately, he is not the only young man in this conference room, there is also a young man sitting at the corner of the long table. Lin Weimin glanced at the nameplate on the table, it is Zhou Ling, the screenwriter of the screenwriting team.

Why did Teacher Lin notice him?
Because handsome and compelling!

Mr. Lin was a little puzzled. Two days ago, Tong Zhonggui joined the editorial department, and today I met Zhou Ling. Now, are the requirements for appearance so high for those who are engaged in literature?
Teacher Lin felt a sense of crisis in his heart!

While Lin Weimin was thinking wildly, experts from the advisory group arrived one after another.

Red scholars, historians, writers, aestheticians, folklorists, calligraphers and painters, cultural relic appraisers, dramatists, screenwriters, directors...

It covers almost every aspect involved in the shooting of "Dream of Red Mansions".

In addition to the members of the advisory group, the main leaders of CCTV and the behind-the-scenes creators of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew were also present.

On such an occasion today, Wang Feng, the director of CCTV, is a junior and can't speak at all.

Dai Linfeng, the deputy director and producer of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions", also sat quietly by the side.

The meeting was co-chaired by Wang Fulin, the director of "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Zhou Ruchang, a leading figure in the Red Academy.

All present are authoritative experts in their respective fields, and they are here because they care about "Dream of Red Mansions" and hope to contribute their knowledge and opinions to this TV series.

But because it is the first symposium, the discussion today is mainly about the general direction of the adaptation.

The screenwriting team of "Dream of Red Mansions" was initially held by Mr. Jiang Hesen, a red scientist, but due to Mr. Jiang's heavy workload, he could not keep up with the progress required by the crew at the beginning of the creation.For this reason, Wang Fulin visited Jiang Hesen's home in person, and after some heart-to-heart communication, Mr. Jiang Hesen gave up his work as a screenwriter and became a literary consultant for the crew.

Now the screenwriting work of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew is in charge of a three-person screenwriting team, namely Zhou Lei, Liu Genglu and Zhou Ling.

At this symposium, Zhou Lei took out the outline of the 28 episodes of the TV series for everyone to discuss.

This outline alone sparked heated discussions in the conference room.

The reason is very simple. In the outline, the story of the last forty chapters written by Gao E, which has long been known and accepted by the public, was abandoned. Research results recreated.

This courage is really big enough!

Lin Weimin slandered in his heart.

In fact, in 81, CCTV started the preparatory work for the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

In 82, the Red Society held the National Red Study Conference in Shanghai. Hu Wenbin, deputy secretary-general of the Red Society, specially invited Wang Fulin to attend. The conference expressed full support for CCTV's adaptation of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Therefore, the Red Society and red scientists have had a great influence on the adaptation of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhou Lei's 28-episode outline is the result of communicating with the red scientists headed by Zhou Ruchang in advance. If there is no such With the consent of the group of red scientists, this outline cannot be produced.

Lin Weimin watched the lively scene in the meeting room, and instantly understood why Mr. Wan had such an attitude when he learned that he had joined the advisory group.

This is a hot potato!
There is not much credit for the adaptation, if the adaptation is not good, Qing is waiting to be scolded!

The problem is, "A Dream of Red Mansions", which has been pushed to the altar, can even support a group of red scientists who specialize in this stuff. Do you dare to say that you adapted it well?
Anyway, there will always be people scolding the street, and if you get involved, you will inevitably be scolded.

Old comrades are highly respected and have a high status. Not to mention that no one dares to scold them, it's okay to be scolded a few times.

But for someone of Lin Weimin's seniority, it would be too eye-catching to be mixed in with the advisory group, and it would be easy to be used as a punching bag.

After understanding Mr. Wan's good intentions, Lin Weimin made up his mind.

As a half-assed consultant, it's better to keep his mouth shut.

But sometimes the more you want to hide, the more you can't.

The discussion in the conference room was full of disputes, and Mr. Wu Zuxiang suddenly said: "Don't always try to persuade each other, let us listen to the thoughts of young people. Comrade Weimin, what do you think about the adaptation of the novel?"

Depend on!
You don't pay attention, old man, I have been your student for a few days anyway.

"This..." Lin Weimin pondered for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Mr. Wan, and the old man closed his eyes.

You kid, please be blessed, who made you have to rush to this muddy water.

"Personally, I can't talk about any in-depth research on "Dream of Red Mansions". I can only briefly talk about it based on my own superficial understanding."

The people sitting in the conference room are not those second-hand experts of later generations. Lin Weimin mobilized his brain cells quickly, and he only had one idea. Today must not be ashamed. During this period of time, "Dream of Red Mansions" and various research materials should not be read in vain.

"I think it is too bold to abandon Cheng Gaoben rashly.

There are indeed many conflicts and contradictions in the content of Cheng Gao's version and the previous [-] chapters. This can be seen not only from the comparison with the previous [-] chapters, but also from the Zhiyanzhai commentary.

But I think there are still many merits in Cheng Gaoben.For example, the basic endings of many characters are in line with the original intention of the author, such as Baoyu, Xichun becoming a monk, Jinyu Liangyuan, etc.There is also the plot of Jia's mansion being copied, which is also very well written, including Daiyu's death. This plot should be the best one among the versions I have read.

Therefore, I think it should be based on Cheng Gaoben, guided by Zhi Yanzhai's commentary, and supplemented by the exploration of red studies in later generations, so as to grasp such a general direction for creation.

After all, the adaptation work of "A Dream of Red Mansions" has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, so we should be cautious. "

Lin Weimin paused several times in his short speech of a few hundred words, and finally finished his speech.

Sensing Mr. Wan's gratifying gaze, Lin Weimin was secretly happy. It seems that what I said was very good.

At this time, Mr. Wan's heart was: Not bad, not bad, I know it's hard to get along.Now we have to completely abandon Cheng Gaoben, while insisting on using Cheng Gaoben.That said, neither side is to blame.This kid is really getting more and more slippery.

After listening to Lin Weimin's opinion, several red scholars showed deep thought. They were all the ones who insisted on abandoning Cheng Gaoben.

Although I think Lin Weimin's words are a bit panacea, but after thinking about it carefully, there is indeed some truth.

Cheng Gao's instinct has been passed down for more than 200 years, is it really so useless?

surely not.

Everyone thinks it has many problems, and it is also because it has been compared with the first [-] chapters written by Mr. Cao Xueqin. Can the gap be small?
But if compared with other versions, Mr. Gao's strength is still superior.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Cheng Gaoben can indeed be used.

But it is impossible to use all of them. If Cheng Gaoben is used directly, what will happen to the red school?
"Taking Cheng Gao's book as the base, Zhiyanzhai's commentary as the guide, and later generations' research on red studies as the supplement", this formulation is very good.

At first, Lin Weimin's proposal was not sharp and fruitful, but unexpectedly touched the hearts of experts who insisted on abandoning Cheng Gaoben.

Discussing again, the tone of the group who abandoned Cheng Gaoben became calmer, and the communication between the two parties became much smoother.

After talking about it, Lin Weimin found that the idea of ​​this adaptation got closer and closer to his own formulation the more he listened to it?
