1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 358 The Novel That Cannot Be Adapted

Li Tuo didn't break his promise, he was drunk the first night, and he appeared in the editorial department of "People's Literature" early the next morning.

Not for anything else, just to write a review article on "Da Ming Dynasty 1566".

After squatting in the editorial office of "People's Literature" for three days, and flipping through the manuscript several times, Li Tuo finally wrote a long commentary of nearly [-] characters.

"The Great Ming Dynasty under Fission——Thinking about Reading "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566"".

After Li Tuo finished writing this review, he submitted the article to the "Literary News".

After another three days, this review article was published on the front page of "Literary News".

Such efficiency is really rare for "Literary News".

In addition to the excessive excellence of the novel "The Ming Dynasty 1566", one of the reasons is also the close relationship between Lin Weimin and the Cultural Association.

Li Tuo's love for the novel "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566" is deep in his bones, but he is not blindly praising this novel irrationally.

On the contrary, in this review article, Li Tuo thoroughly dissected the novel "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" from inside to outside with a rigorous attitude.

From the creation style, technique, structure to character creation, plot layout, and conflicts, the narration is comprehensive, and every sentence is reasonable and every word is pearls.

"This novel is unique in that it describes a period of romance in the style of official history, but it does not give people a sense of disobedience, and it can make readers feel the weight of history and the treacherous politics.

It is not so much a historical novel as it is a political fable written by the author Lin Weimin..."

In a classroom of Yan Normal University, Zhang Jianjun recited a review article in the "Literary News" with excitement. At the end of the reading, he couldn't help clapping.

"Okay! It's so well written! It really expresses the essence of Mr. Lin's novel!"

After listening to it, the students around him expressed a little excitement, and said, "I really want to see the second half of the novel sooner."

"Isn't it? Why can't we send out all of them in one issue? It's really tempting to have to divide them into two."

Zhang Jianjun heard everyone's complaints, and said: "Everyone has to understand. Mr. Lin has been holding back for a year and a big tome. If "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" is published in this issue, there is no need to post goodbye. works."

"If you understand, you must understand, but it's not fun to watch!"

"You don't know, I read many passages in it, and goosebumps stood up. I used to think that people's hearts are complicated, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Those gangs of politicians are even more terrifying. It's just chilling. "

"Didn't you notice? There are some dialogues and descriptions in this novel. You have to read it twice. Really, you will understand the deep meaning of the characters in the book after reading it twice. I really can't figure out how Teacher Lin wrote it." Such a thing came out. Writing such a novel requires too much IQ!"

"It's not surprising that Mr. Lin can write this novel. After all, not everyone can write "Chasing the Murderer"."

In the end, these words reached everyone's heart.

Indeed, from "Chasing the Murderer" to "Da Ming Dynasty 1566", when you read novels, you often feel that your IQ is repeatedly rubbed on the ground by Mr. Lin.

When everyone was discussing the most intensely, the door of the classroom was pushed open, and a boy came in, wearing glasses as thick as the bottom of a bottle.

"Mussen, you came just in time!"

Zhang Jianjun greeted the boy, and waved a copy of "People's Literature", "Have you read Teacher Lin's new novel?"

Mu Sen said: "Look!"

"how do you feel?"

"Okay!" Mu Sen seemed to be a man of few words, and he spoke concisely.

Zhang Jianjun said: "How about we make a drama out of this novel?"

Mu Sen's face became surprised, "Rehearsal with this novel?"

Zhang Jianjun and his group are not only lovers of literature, but also lovers of drama.

Most of them are not only members of the literature club, but also members of the drama club in the school.

They will go to Yuetan Erqi Theater to watch "Red Nose", go to the rehearsal venue of Dongsi Foreign Performance Company to watch "Caucasus Chalk Circle", and go to the Capital Theater to watch "Untouchable", "Farewell My Concubine", "Salesman "The Death of the Camel", "Camel Xiangzi", "Tea House", and also went to the Central Academy of Drama in East Mianhua Hutong to watch the dramas rehearsed by the students.

Mu Sen and Zhang Jianjun are both students in the 81st grade. They are drama fanatics. Their biggest hobby is watching various drama books, magazines and performances.

The year before last, the students of the School of Drama directed and acted Teacher Lin's "Farewell My Concubine", and organized a touring performance in various colleges and universities in Yanjing, which made the drama club enthusiastic.

So they also began to try to rehearse a play by themselves.

Compared with the group of drama students in East Cotton Alley, Mu Sen's level is very immature, but love can overcome everything.

They find venues, make props, act as actors, and solve any difficulties they encounter by themselves.

It is precisely because of this love that they officially moved the "Classroom Composition" created by German writer Erwin Weikerd to the school auditorium last year, which was warmly welcomed by the students.

Mu Sen shook his head and said, "It's too difficult!"

Mu Sen was the director in the drama club, and everyone listened to him for the rehearsal of the drama. When he said that it was difficult, everyone was a little discouraged.

Zhang Jianjun said: "What's wrong with the difficulty? If it's too difficult, you can't be ranked?"

Mu Sen patiently explained: "It's not that we can't line up, but we can't line up, and we don't have the strength."

Zhang Jianjun has a reckless personality, and the more he listened to him, the more impatient he became, "Don't we also arrange "Classroom Composition"? Why can't this novel work? Do you have to be talented to arrange this novel?"

Mu Sen shook his head, "Renyi may not be able to get it!"

Zhang Jianjun snorted when he heard the words, "You can really blow it!"

"I really can't take it off!"

In Renyi's rehearsal venue, Ouyang Shanzun and Lin Zhaohua were sitting in the director's seat chatting, he said regretfully.

"Lao Lan and I studied the novel for several days, and found that it is difficult to shrink the novel to the point where it can be moved to the stage."

After listening to Ouyang Shanzun's words, Lin Zhaohua's face was also a little depressed, "Then how long do you think can be compressed to the shortest if we follow our drama creation habits?"

Ouyang Shanzun hesitated for a moment, and said: "If the second half of the novel is still at this pace, it will start in ten hours."

ten hours?

Lin Zhaohua was silent.

Not to mention ten hours, even if it is reduced by half, it is only five hours, which is already very long for a drama, and what Ouyang Shanzun said was ten hours to start.

"It's such a good novel, what a pity!" Lin Zhaohua sighed.

He was just promoted to be the vice president of the Arts last year, and he wanted to make some achievements with all his heart.

Lin Weimin has always been a major producer of dramas in the theater, and this time when his novel was published, Lin Zhaohua immediately followed him.

But after reading it, he began to mutter in his heart that it was not so difficult to adapt this novel into a play.

So he deliberately came to find Ouyang Shanzun who had cooperated with Lin Weimin several times, and wanted to hear his thoughts.

But now it seems that Ouyang Shanzun has the same opinion as him.

It is too difficult for this novel to be put on the stage of drama!

Guowen Society, "People's Literature" editorial department.

Zhu Wei is reading letters from readers again. This is already the 64th letter from readers he has dealt with today.

The October issue of "People's Literature" has been on sale for nearly half a month. Starting four or five days ago, letters from readers began to flock to "People's Literature".

Zhu Wei, as a junior in the editorial department, does not let him do this kind of work.

While opening the letter, Zhu Wei sighed, "When will this be opened!"

Xie Mingqing raised his head and jokingly said: "Don't worry, when Lin Weimin first went to "Contemporary", he was doing your job. Look at him now, isn't he the editor-in-chief?"

Zhu Wei glanced at Xie Mingqing, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Lin has been promoted as deputy editor-in-chief for two years, and I have been in the editorial department for two years."

Xie Mingqing smiled and said: "The ambition is not small. You can't compare it like this. Their "Contemporary" belongs to the mountain without tigers, and monkeys are called kings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice at the door.

"As soon as I stood at the door, I heard someone choreographing me!" Lin Weimin walked in from the door.

Xie Mingqing immediately changed his face and said: "Can you compare with Mr. Lin? I don't have any points in my heart!"

Zhu Wei was speechless.

"Okay, old Xie, I'm almost catching up with the chameleon." Lin Weimin joked.

After a few jokes, Zhu Wei got up and handed over to Lin Weimin a package of letters from readers.

Take the letter back to the office, open it, and check each letter one by one.

If there is a serious need, just reply with a few words if you can reply, and put everything else aside.

Over the past few years, Lin Weimin has personally opened at least one hundred and eighty thousand letters, and among them, at least three to five thousand letters have been answered.

If he read it carefully before replying, he would not be able to finish replying even if he returned to the Year of the Monkey.

It took more than an hour to process a package of letters from readers, and it was time to get off work.

Lin Weimin first went to the Shizhu Courtyard on Xi'anmen Street, Tuanjiehu, unlocked the lock and entered the courtyard, opened one of the East Wing rooms, and neatly placed the letters from readers on the bookshelf.

After doing this, Lin Weimin left the room and went to the basement.

In May of this year, the antique calligraphy and paintings in the Second Entry Courtyard next to the Forbidden City had been moved to the Shizhu Courtyard and stored in the basement.

During this period of time, Ma Dudu continued to help Lin Weimin search for treasures, and now more than half of the space of more than 200 square meters on the upper and lower floors of the basement has been filled.

According to this progress, the basement will not be enough at the beginning of next year at the latest.

Walking around in the basement, the temperature and humidity inside were normal, and Lin Weimin came out with peace of mind. He now comes here almost every month to have a look.

After all, with so many antique calligraphy and paintings, something went wrong, which was enough for him to feel distressed for a while.

After locking the courtyard door, we drove back to Shichahai courtyard.

Tao Huimin has just returned from Renyi. Recently, "The Story of a Female Doctor" is about to start filming, so she went to Renyi to study.

"Today I heard from Teacher Zhu Lin that Renyi is studying how to put your "Ming Dynasty 1566" on stage."

Lin Weimin chuckled and said, "Going to the stage? That's tantamount to reinventing the wheel. Why don't we just write a new one."

Tao Huimin was speechless, "So difficult?"

"It's hard to be sure. The only suitable form of adaptation for this novel is a TV series. Only the size and form of a TV series can accommodate this novel."

"But I think everyone doesn't like watching TV dramas very much."

Lin Weimin nodded and said: "Normal. When the sound film came out, Chaplin even boycotted the sound film! Art is only a form, and what is more important is the content. Some people stick to the old rules, and it is difficult to get out of their inherent thinking. Those who jump out can only be eliminated by the times in the end."

Tao Huimin looked at Lin Weimin with a bit of obsession in her eyes. What she likes most is the way her boyfriend is eloquent and eloquent, which makes people unable to help but be intoxicated.

"By the way, when will your TV series start shooting?" Lin Weimin suddenly remembered while talking.

"The day after tomorrow." Tao Huimin replied, and she said, "By the way, do you know who the leading actor in our TV series is?"

"Who?"
