1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 345

"The writing is good, it seems that you have great potential as a screenwriter!" Lin Weimin said with a smile.

Haiyan smiled shyly, "It's all taught by you, Mr. Lin."

"Don't compliment me. I just gave you some advice on this script. It's up to you to write it well."

The more Lin Weimin is not greedy for merit, the more grateful Haiyan is.

Because he knew very well in his heart that without Mr. Lin's suggestions, it would be impossible for him to write the script in such a fast time, let alone guarantee the quality.

Lin Weimin asked about the filming status of "Plainclothes Police", Haiyan said: "The production crew is almost ready, just waiting for my script. Now it's done, the script is finished, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. "

Lin Weimin nodded, "It's your first time participating in this kind of work, the efficiency is already very good, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

He went on to say: "Now that the script of "Plainclothes Police" has been written, what plans do you have for the next work?"

Haiyan scratched his head, "I didn't think about it."

With a distressed expression on his face, he said, "Mr. Lin, I actually adapted the novel "Plainclothes Policeman" based on real events. After finishing this novel, I don't know what to write."

Lin Weimin was not surprised. For new creators, such a situation is quite normal.

In the words of later talk show actors, who doesn't save 5 minutes of jokes a year?
Many newcomers often write stories based on their own or the personal experiences of people around them, and it is precisely this kind of stories that have actually happened that are often written most vividly, which is why many newcomers’ debut novels are so amazing. reason.

When the first work is finished, the so-called "inspiration" in the minds of these newcomers is actually that all the materials have been used up, and their minds are empty.

If there is not enough material accumulation and precipitation in the follow-up, many people may never recover from it.

Lin Weimin said softly: "I'm just asking you, don't worry about this matter. If you need it, I can give you some advice."

"I need it, of course I need it!" There were four words in Haiyan's eyes: hungry and thirsty.

Lin Weimin said: "Your profession is a policeman, which has certain special characteristics. "Plainclothes Policeman" was created based on the experience of people around you, so now, you might as well expand this scope a little bit and use the entire industry as the material to create. "

Haiyan's eyes shone with excitement when he heard Lin Weimin's words.

The more he thought about what Lin Weimin said, the more reasonable it became. The police are dealing with crimes, and many incidents are inherently full of conflicts and emotions.

If he really writes novels in his industry, there are so many things to write, it is simply an inexhaustible treasure house.

Haiyan couldn't help hugging Lin Weimin, and said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, what you said is so right! So right!"

Lin Weimin was suddenly hugged by Haiyan, thinking of all kinds of rumors about later generations, goose bumps appeared on his body.

Don't suffer the old man!

Resisting the urge to kick this kid, Lin Weimin pushed him away, showing a kind smile.

"This is just a suggestion, you can use it to the best!"

Haiyan's expression still carried the aftertaste of excitement, "It can be used, it can be used too much, I will try it according to your ideas when I get back."

Lin Weimin nodded in relief, a child can be taught!

After Haiyan left, Tan Chaoyang said to Lin Weimin, "Why do I think you gave this young man a bad way!"

"Old comrade, I have to say a few words to you. Why is there discrimination in subject matter? What happened to people writing novels about police? This can be regarded as a variant of reform literature!"

"In your mouth, anything can be put into reform literature. If Jiang Zilong knows you like this, he will beat you up even if he swims from Jinmen."

"If he knows, it's your secret."

After bickering for a few words, Lin Weimin said: "Haiyan's creative ability is stronger in the story, not in the writing and thinking. Going to the path of pure literature is the evil path. What I am most afraid of is, When everyone discusses literature, the default is pure literature, and that will ruin literature!"

After listening to Lin Weimin's words, Qin Chaoyang fell silent.

In fact, Lin Weimin has said such an argument more than once.

With the passage of time, Tan Chaoyang also gradually discovered that Lin Weimin's ideas were extremely forward-looking.

Regardless of the fact that the field of pure literature in China has been in full swing in the past few years, new publications are born every day, and when a good work appears, Luoyang paper is immediately expensive, and writers are treated courteously wherever they go.

But these weak facts cannot hide the truth.

The truth is, no matter how you sell pure literature periodicals, 200 million copies is the ceiling, while popular literature periodicals, such as "Story Club" and "Shan Hai Jing" can easily sell millions of copies.

It is true that new publications are born every day, but there are more publications that fall.Especially at the end of last year, the higher-ups issued a document on journals being self-responsible for their own profits and losses, and more and more journals will definitely fall in the future.

There are also those writers who are popular everywhere and are treated with courtesy by everyone, but they don’t see it when their works are published.

But when it is actually published, there are very few people who can sell well.

A published novel can sell more than [-] copies, and the publishing house can wake up from its dream.

Publishing houses will call for subscriptions before publishing the works of many authors. Thousands or even hundreds of copies are the norm. Those who order more than [-] copies are all famous in China.

For example, Lu Yao's "Life" became so popular a few years ago, and the number of subscriptions for "Life" published by Guowen Society was only 13 copies.

In the past few years, the literary circle and the book market seem to be cooking oil in a raging fire, full of colorful flowers, but if you really study it carefully, it can't stand up to scrutiny.

It is precisely because of these phenomena that the importance and influence of Lin Weimin and his works are so prominent in the Guowen Society, including the domestic literary world.

The two were chatting in the office, and Tong Zhonggui knocked on the office door.

"Ms. Lin, someone is looking for you!"

Lin Weimin looked towards the door, and there was a stocky man with a simple face standing behind Tong Zhonggui.

"Brother Tianming? Why are you here?"

Lin Weimin welcomed Wu Tianming into the office, and said to Tong Zhonggui, "Little Tong, go get busy first."

"Okay, Teacher Lin!"

Lin Weimin poured a cup of tea for Wu Tianming, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, Wu Tianming explained the purpose of his visit.

"Don't mention it, Zheng Yi's rotten coward made me so worried."

"What's up with him?"

"As for the script, he promised well. I waited for two months, and he told me not to write it. I asked why, and he said he couldn't write it well!

I advised him, I said it doesn't matter if the writing is not good, you can write slowly, you at least take out a first draft, if not, I will find someone to revise.

Guess what happened to him?He said, if you force me again, I will die!
What the hell am I..."

As Wu Tianming spoke, a beeping dog expression appeared on his face.

Just after the Chinese New Year this year, Lin Weimin received a call from Wu Tianming, saying that the West Film Studio wanted to adapt "Old Well", which was posted on the "Shanxi Writers Special" a few months ago, into a movie.

Lin Weimin thought this was a good thing, so he contacted Zheng Yi and asked Wu Tianming to go directly to Zheng Yi to discuss the adaptation.

He didn't participate in the subsequent events, and he didn't expect such a mess to happen.

After listening to Wu Tianming's words, he only had one feeling.

This kind of behavior is very Zhengyi.

"He is a man of temperament! Sometimes it is inevitable that he will act on his own will, brother, don't be offended!"

He helped to contact the adaptation of "Old Well", and he could only persuade Wu Tianming with good words because the author under him was a pick.

Wu Tianming talked to him for a while, and after venting his anger and helplessness, he finally talked about the main topic of his return.

"Look at it!" Wu Tianming handed a letter to Lin Weimin.

After reading the exhibition letter, he only had one thought in his mind.

Not a man!

Zheng Yi asked Wu Tianming to bring this letter to him, and there was only one subject.

If you translate it, it will probably be: Mr. Lin, I can't take on Director Wu's job, so I'll leave it to you!
Can he get along with me?
If Zheng Yi was in front of his eyes at this moment, Lin Weimin would throw him into a small dark room and beat him up.

It's a pity that now, it's too late.

"For the people, Zheng Yi has dropped the pick, you can't ignore this matter!" Wu Tianming begged Lin Weimin with a bitter expression.

Lin Weimin said helplessly: "How should I manage this matter? He is the original author and doesn't write the script, let me be the editor?"

Wu Tianming said: "Zheng Yi told me everything, "Old Well" was finally published, thanks to your polishing."

Gan!
This kid really sold himself out!

"It's not appropriate to do that."

Wu Tianming asked anxiously: "What's inappropriate? Weimin, everyone knows your strength in drama creation, and "Old Well" was published by you. Except for Zheng Yi, I can't find anyone who is better than you. The right screenwriter has been chosen."

Seeing that Lin Weimin's attitude of rejection was obvious, he continued to sell miserably.

"Brother, you don't know. The boy Zheng Yi promised me well before. I thought that a few months would be enough for him to write the script. My crew has finished building, and the script is missing.

Brother, I just became the director of Xiying Film Studio, you can't make me lose face in front of the whole factory, can you?
If this matter is not handled well, my brother, I will really push my buttocks - it's a shame to go around in circles! "

When Wu Tianming spoke, his face was full of bitterness and anxiety, and he almost burst into tears.

"Help! Help! Brother, you can help brother this time!"

Facing Wu Tianming's begging, Lin Weimin frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly.

Seeing Lin Weimin nodding, Wu Tianming was overjoyed.

"I knew it, I knew it! I still have to rely on you, for the people!"

Wu Tianming hugged Lin Weimin excitedly, almost taking pictures of his overnight meal.

After the excitement, the two began to discuss business.

"When will the script be finished?" Wu Tianming asked Lin Weimin.

"When do you want it?"

"Of course the sooner the better."

"Then... a month?"

Lin Weimin also has a lot of work on his hands. "Lover" has been promised first, so he must finish writing this first, right?

"One month?"

Wu Tianming looked at Lin Weimin with some surprise on his face.

Lin Weimin frowned, is it too late for a month?
"Then... 20 days?"

"20 days?" Wu Tianming's voice was a little higher, and his surprise became stronger.

Lin Weimin frowned even tighter. He couldn't do it for 20 days. How urgent is this?

"Ten days, no less!"

Wu Tianming slapped his hands, "Okay, just ten days! That's the deal, you can't go back on your word!"
