1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 273 Xie Fei
"Old horse?" Lin Weimin looked at the little foreigner across the street, and waved at him with some surprise.

Mark Meng trotted over, and after the two embraced, Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see!"

Since this year, this is the first time that Lin Weimin has dreamed of meeting Mark.

"What have you been up to lately?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Man, you really don't care about me. I have already finished my studies in Yanjing."

"graduated?"

It was only after Ma Kemeng reminded Lin Weimin that the little foreigners he knew had been in Yanjing for several years, shouldn't they be graduating now?
"Then how many of them? Why didn't they come?"

"Back home."

"Going back to China?" Lin Weimin was surprised, and sighed after a while, "It's a pity that I didn't see each other."

Lin Weimin thought for a while, starting from "Farewell My Concubine", almost every novel he published or after it was published, he would receive some adaptation invitations, most of which were film adaptations.

"teacher LIN!"

In addition to these, Lin Weimin has another more important factor that he did not mention.

"That's right, Weimin, why have you adapted all your novels, dramas and TV series, but never made a movie?" Zhu Changsheng also asked curiously.

"Tell me." Lin Weimin said.

Back at the office, I just went to work in the afternoon, and while my colleagues were busy with work, they were still discussing the movie "Life" that was just released a few days ago.

Xie Fei smiled brightly when he heard the answer, "How about leaving it to me?"

Lin Weimin offered to see him off, but he refused, "Don't be like this, these few times they left, every time I went to see them off, I felt very depressed."

Ma Kemeng laughed, Lin Weimin's works have been published in the United States, and he believes that there must be a day when they meet.

A capital like Yanjing and a municipality directly under the central government like Shanghai have more than one film studio.

Looking at the back of Ma Kemeng going away, Lin Weimin felt a little depressed.

Lin Weimin really met Zhou Lijing, a student of Yanying's 78th grade performance class, and Han Zhuangzhuang often mentioned him when he was in school.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people, the country divided the provinces and built one film studio per province. It should be said that there are as many film studios as there are provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China.

This kind of influence is comparable to TV dramas?

"Because the influence of drama and TV series is far less than that of movies."

It is amazing to say that among the various version adaptations that can be involved in literary works, the film that should be the most difficult is the type of invitation that requires the most adaptation.

After raising the fetus for a month, and entering the second trimester, Yao Shuzhi finally came out, her face rounded twice.

These days, the influence of a drama is usually limited to a city, and it will gradually have a national reputation as time goes by, but this kind of drama is more heard.

Lin Weimin asked: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​adapting "The Horseman"?"

Movies are different. The invitations from the studios that contacted him before, many people named Lin Weimin sounded very strange to him, and he felt that he should be more conservative when he didn't know the basics.

Seeing this, Xie Fei asked: "Mr. Lin, do you have any scruples? But it's okay!"

As the fourth-generation directors, Xie Fei and the others were not born at the right time. The best creative stage in their lives caught up with the buzzing. After a few years of their careers on the right track, the fifth-generation directors rose again.

"Don't worry? What's there to worry about?"

"Mr. Xie, you may not know that I have a habit."

Still the same sentence, the attitude is not good, it is unrealistic to expect to be able to shoot good works.

However, the TV dramas of this era are limited by the number of TV sets, no matter how exaggerated they are, they cannot reach the level of movies.

"quite handsome."

This reason is mainly attributed to the vigorous development of the film industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Oh! It's been a long time since I saw you."

Zhou Lijing, who plays the leading role Gao Jialin in the film, has become a hottest actor in the domestic film industry in just a few days.

"Mr. Xie?" Lin Weimin was surprised to see the middle-aged man standing at the door.

Ma Kemeng handed over a pamphlet to Lin Weimin, "This is our communication method, you can contact us at any time if you need it. If you have the opportunity to go to our country in the future, you must tell us!"

"Not really. The main reason is that most of the works are full-length novels. It's actually very difficult to do a good job in film adaptation, so we need to find a reliable person."

The problem is no one does it!
It’s really not Mrs. Lin being arrogant. Sincerity actually represents attitude. Without an attitude of excellence, can you produce good works?
Do you think everyone is Lin Weimin?
"Of course I don't worry about the level of adaptation." Lin Weimin said.

"I want to adapt your "The Horseman"."

Feng Xiaolong, Cao Mengde and Yin Geli left after traveling for more than ten years.

Zhu Changsheng understood Lin Weimin's meaning, "You are cherishing feathers!"

What a coincidence, just after discussing with everyone, Xie Fei came to the door to adapt.

Lin Weimin dragged Ma Kemeng to the restaurant, and after ordering, the two continued to chat.

"Shaolin Temple" was sold at a box office of more than 1 million yuan for a movie ticket of [-] cents, and the situation of rural screenings has not been counted.

The two hugged again, and Mark dreamed: "I hope there will be a day when we meet again."

Another ten years or so.

For the drama adaptation, he cooperated with the leaders of Renyi, and he did not have preconceived ideas and impressions.

Lin Weimin pondered: "There is no particular reason, but I am a little worried, and I haven't met a reliable director yet."

After all, the way of dissemination is different, and the channels for obtaining TV dramas are too simple, and you can watch them on the TV at home.

"Actually, I read "The Horseman" when it was published in "People's Literature" at the beginning of this year. I really like this novel, but at that time I was working on the film "Our Field" and didn't have time.

Lin Weimin nodded. When Ma Kemeng and the others found him, he should have just gone to Yantai for a pen meeting.

Every era has its own aesthetic standards. Zhou Lijing's appearance is the most accepted standard in this era. Han Zhuangzhuang also mentioned that when Zhou Lijing took the Yanying examination, Yanying's teacher gave him a good appearance condition. is full marks.

Lin Weimin hurriedly let Xie Fei into the room, "Why are you here? What do you need from me?"

Ma Kemeng explained: "We came to see you when you graduated in July, and your colleague said that you were on a business trip."

"Life" is adapted from Lu Yao's novella of the same name. Since its publication, the original novel has won the love of countless readers. Since its publication, the cumulative sales volume of the single book has exceeded 120 million copies. The popularity is still unabated, almost every month. It can sell tens of thousands of copies, bringing a lot of income to the author Lu Yao, but also gaining a huge reputation.

"Okay, then let's just say goodbye!" Lin Weimin said with regret.

Xie Fei asked with a somewhat expectant look.

"Nope."

Xie Fei took the tea Lin Weimin poured for him, "There is indeed something wrong."

After chatting for a long time, after lunch, Lin Weimin originally planned to take a vacation to have fun with Mark Meng in Yanjing, but the little laowai still had a lot of things to do at school and had to catch a plane tomorrow morning.

Besides, if those people had the sincerity of Wu Tianming squatting on Lu Yao, Lin Weimin might consider it.

While chatting, someone knocked on the office door.

"I've seen it!"

This scene of blooming flowers has lasted for decades. With the great development of economic construction in the past few years, the domestic film industry has become like a raging fire.

Lin Weimin accepted this small address book, "Of course, and there must be a chance."

Tsk tsk tsk, the fighting power of middle-aged women is really terrifying!

By that time, the national TV penetration rate will almost reach over 80%. Even if movies are not affected by various negative factors at that time, the influence they can cause is far from what TV dramas can match.

After returning, he plans to find a job as a university teaching assistant first.

"Then why are you so relieved when it comes to adaptations of dramas and TV dramas?" Zhu Changsheng asked.

Only Mark Meng traveled all over China's great rivers and mountains during this period of time, and he just returned to Yanjing recently, and he plans to return to the United States tomorrow.

"Hey, Weimin, did you meet Zhou Lijing when you gave lectures at Yanying?"

Lin Weimin recalled Zhou Lijing's appearance in his mind, and he could only say that carrots and vegetables have their own preferences.

"Come on, I haven't eaten yet, I just treat you to something."

Unfortunately, the good times will not be too long.

Film adaptation?

Of course, I don't worry about the level of adaptation.

Recently, I have been busy with the things I have in hand, so I thought I would hurry up and ask you, the film adaptation rights of this novel have not been given out. "

Mark Meng and his group of little foreigners graduated in July. Little Hei Yangzi was the first to leave China. Her financial conditions were not good, and the first thing she did after finishing her studies was to go back to Nihong to find a job.

However, as a leading figure of the fourth generation of directors, Xie Fei's achievements in film are still very brilliant, and his director skills are also good. He came to ask for the right to adapt the film "The Horse Man", and Lin Weimin really couldn't refuse.

There are currently only two TV series adaptations, and the novel itself comes from the TV series of later generations, so naturally there is no pressure to change it.

"Of course, it will!" Lin Weimin said firmly.

Lin Weimin and Xie Fei met in Yanying. When the 78-level directing students filmed their graduation works, they chose Huang Anyi's "Little Notes of a Small Courtyard" as a script, which was edited by Lin Weimin. Xie Fei was the instructor of that graduation work.

The movie "Life" was invested by Xiying Film Studio. Lu Yao, the author of the original book, acted as the screenwriter. Naturally, it also won the eager anticipation of those novel readers. Once it was released, it became popular all over the country. Countless young people flocked to the movie theater. In just a few days, there was a movie-watching craze.

"Wei Min, when will your novel be adapted into a movie?" Liu Yin asked suddenly.

With the continuous deepening of reforms, the film studios of the planned economy gradually revealed their disadvantages under the impact of the market economy, coupled with the impact of video tapes, VCDs, DVDs and other novel playback methods, and the prevalence of piracy of evil cultural products, Domestic films are about to enter a precarious development situation in a few years.

Lin Weimin's expression was hesitant.

"How? Is he as handsome in real life as in the movie?"

She and Liu Yin were discussing Zhou Lijing's appearance with salivating faces, and they almost left Halazi.

"What habit?" Xie Fei asked.

"Even if my work is not written by me, the adapted script must be approved by me. After the draft is finalized, it cannot be changed casually." Lin Weimin told the truth.

"This……"

Xie Fei pondered.
