1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 359

Early the next morning, Lin Weimin drove Tao Huimin to Tiantan Hotel, where all the TVB cast and crew from Xiangjiang were arranged to live.

Today is the day before the filming starts. CCTV and TVB called the main staff to get acquainted with each other. As the screenwriter, Lin Weimin naturally wants to come.

The person in charge of TVB is Xiao Sheng, and the producer of TVB is actually the chief director of the TV series, with a lot of power, so when people talk about the TV series of TVB, the name of the producer is always mentioned, but rarely mentioned director.

The person in charge of CCTV is Huang Yihe, an old acquaintance. Last year's Spring Festival Gala was messed up by him, and it was very unsatisfactory during this time.

Wang Fulin was filming "A Dream of Red Mansions" and Yang Jie was filming "Journey to the West". Now there is no one available on the stage, so he was sent to the crew of "The Story of a Female Doctor".

The large conference room on the fourth floor of the hotel was full of people, and Lin Weimin also saw TVB's long-time male protagonist - Zhang Guorong.

After listening to Tao Huimin talk about the actor candidate last night, Lin Weimin's first reaction was nonsense, what is he doing as a movie star to act in a TVB TV series.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Guorong's famous work "The True Colors of a Hero" seemed to be filmed in 86. Now he appeared more as a singer and idol star in the entertainment circle of Xiangjiang.In the late 70s and before the 80s, he did act in many TV dramas.

He first joined Lai TV in 1977, filmed "Crocodile Tears" produced by McDonald, and played a supporting actor.

Later, "Fifteen Under the Roof".Sixteen" and the costume drama "Huanhua Xijianlu" were promoted to leading actors.

In 82, Qiu Degen, chairman of the Far East Group, injected 1 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase 50% of the shares of Li's TV station, and obtained the joint management right, and changed Lai's TV to Asia Television Co., Ltd., which caused turmoil within the TV station.

Zhang Guorong left Li's, devoted most of his energy to his singing career, and achieved good results.

In the few years since he left Lidi, Zhang Guorong did not give up acting completely, and has been flirting with TVB.

However, there are so many niches in TVB that there are queues, and the "Wireless Five Tigers" promoted by Shao Yifu alone has divided most of the resources of male protagonists.

After three years, Zhang Guorong only starred in a 10-episode "Long Ben Passionate", which was cast by TVB in order to promote newcomer Shang Tian'e.

However, after the broadcast of "Nong Ben Passionate", the ratings and audience reputation were very good. The audience praised Zhang Guorong's handsome and unruly rich young master Zhan Shiyu, which also made TVB see the potential of Zhang Guorong.

Just at this time, Zhang Guorong released the album "Leslie", which sold four platinum in Hong Kong. idea.

The wireless TV station saw what was going on here, and they couldn't let him go just after the fire broke out.

With a wave of Shao Yifu's hand, "Biography of Female Doctors" appointed Zhang Guorong as the number one male.

Co-production between the two places, tens of millions of investment, full live-action shooting, and give him the leading actor.

Zhang Guorong was fooled by the wireless TV station, so he agreed to the play in a daze.

After arriving in the mainland, he realized that he had been fooled.

It's true that he was given the role of the leading actor, but he is a leading actress!

Sister has more roles than him as the leading actor, and the main role is all on her.

But his contract has already been signed, and he is already in Yanjing, so it is impossible not to shoot.

In today's meeting, he sat in the conference room with a look of lovelessness, bearing the title of leading actor, but felt as sad as an ant.

After the meaningless meeting with a smile on his face, Zhang Guorong planned to retreat into the room and continue to read the script, but he didn't want to be stopped by producer Xiao Sheng.

"Young Master Rong!"

Rong Shao is the name in the movie "The Unemployed" that Zhang Guorong acted in in 81. Later, everyone called him that on the set.

"It was inconvenient because there were too many people just now, so come say hello to Mr. Lin."

There were too many people at the meeting just now, everyone simply introduced themselves, but they couldn't remember everything, so Xiao Sheng deliberately introduced it again.

Zhang Guorong squeezed out a smile and greeted Lin Weimin, "Mr. Lin!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Guorong said, "Mr. Lin can just call me Azi."

Xiao Sheng added: "Mr. Lin is not only the screenwriter of our drama, but also a well-known writer in the mainland! "Farewell My Concubine" and "Lover" are both works of Mr. Lin."

Zhang Guorong's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence.

Before coming to Yanjing, he hadn't paid attention to who the screenwriter of "The Story of a Female Doctor" was, and he was also absent-minded when it was introduced at the conference just now.

But he knew the two novels "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Lover", and they were quite famous in Xiangjiang.

And some time ago, there was news that Xu Anhua, the director of "Running into the Wrathful Sea", was going to shoot the movie "Lover".

After a few words of politeness, Xiao Sheng pulled the elegant young man aside again, "This is Liu Songren, our male number three."

In 71, Liu Songren was admitted to the 5th artist training class of Li's Yingsheng TV station, and joined Li's TV station after graduation the following year. In 76, he switched to TVB, and successively starred in the "Lu Xiaofeng" series of TV series, "Jinghua Chunmeng" and other TV series.

His acting skills are online, his looks are handsome, and his unique refined temperament makes him unique among the male actors on TVB. The rise of the "Five Tigers" has not affected his acting career at all.

With his qualifications and status in TVB, playing the male number three is enough to show that TVB attaches great importance to the TV series "The Story of a Female Doctor".

Another reason is also related to his schedule. Among the many small students in the stage, he has just finished filming "Ping Zong Man Video Record", and the next film will start in half a year.

The first woman, Wang Mingquan, is an old acquaintance, so she said hello.

The second female lead, Li Meixian, was a rookie who only made her debut in 84, and had only played a supporting role in a TV series. This time she played the second female lead.

Xiao Sheng said that the station originally planned to let her star in "Di Qing", which started filming last month, but later felt that the second female lead in "The Story of a Female Doctor" was more flattering, so she changed the role temporarily.This was said during lunch.

The crews of the two places work together, and interpersonal relationship is the most difficult problem to deal with. Xiao Sheng and Huang Yihe thought of a meeting and organized everyone to have a dinner together at noon.

During the dinner, Zhang Guorong came over to toast Lin Weimin. After drinking, Zhang Guorong said: "Mr. Lin, this script you wrote is good in every way, except that the leading role is not enough!"

His straightforwardness made Lin Weimin couldn't help laughing, "Young Master Rong, a real actor doesn't need so many scenes. Even one scene can leave a deep impression on the audience."

Zhang Guorong was skeptical when he heard his words. Now he has not starred in the classic movies that made him famous in later generations, and his understanding of acting is also very shallow.

At this time, Xiao Sheng who was on the side also smiled and said: "Young Master Rong, if you don't believe anyone's words, you have to believe Mr. Lin's words."

Zhang Guorong looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

Xiao Sheng said: "You don't know, do you? Mr. Lin is not only a novelist, but also an excellent playwright."

Didn't you just write "The Biography of a Female Doctor"?To say the playwright is exaggerating a bit.

Looking at Zhang Guorong's expression, Xiao Sheng guessed what Zhang Guorong was thinking, and said to Lin Weimin, "Mr. Lin, it seems that you should give Rong Shao a few more drama tickets for him to watch!"

Zhang Guorong was confused by Xiao Sheng's words, but some information could still be heard between the lines, "Mr. Lin still writes drama scripts?"

"Mr. Lin is the last disciple of Mr. Wan Jiabao Wan, a drama master. Many of his drama works are performed in Renyi. Do you know Renyi? The most prestigious repertory theater in the mainland."

Xiao Sheng's science popularization surprised Zhang Guorong. He had never heard of Renyi's name, but he had heard the name of Wan Jiabao for a long time.

As early as the 60s and [-]s, several of Mr. Wan's classic dramas were staged in Hong Kong and received excellent response.

He never expected that Lin Weimin would be Wan Jiabao's disciple.

"Mr. Lin, sorry for your disrespect!"

Lin Weimin didn't expect that Xiao Sheng's mention of Mr. Wan would have such a good effect.

"Young Master Rong is too polite."

After Xiao Sheng's science popularization, Zhang Guorong's interest in Lin Weimin increased greatly, "Are Mr. Lin's plays still being performed?"

Lin Weimin hesitated for two seconds and said, "Now there is a play called "The Man on the Horse" that is being performed."

Zhang Guorong said happily: "Why don't you go to the drama together at night, I treat you, how about it?"

Tao Huimin was sitting next to Lin Weimin, she reminded: "It's not easy to buy a ticket."

Zhang Guorong was a little surprised, Xiao Sheng also said with a smile: "Renyi's drama performances are very popular, and Mr. Lin's works are even more difficult to find tickets."

After the two of them made such a show, several other people beside them also cast interested glances.

Seeing this, Lin Weimin said, "It's okay. Since everyone is interested, leave the ticket to me."

The people around cheered.

In the afternoon, Lin Weimin went to Renyi and bought [-] or [-] tickets.

Treating guests is better than leaving a group alone.

The main cast and crew of the two places, Lin Weimin, all of them were called.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people came to the Capital Theater in a mighty manner, and many people could be seen blocking the gate of the theater from a distance.

When everyone approached, these people gave way consciously, many of them recognized Lin Weimin and shouted: "Teacher Lin!"

Squatting at the entrance of the Capital Theater all the year round, there is no one among these fans who does not know Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin responded to everyone with a smile, and my elder sister Wang Mingquan asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

"Equal parts!" Lin Weimin said.

Everyone was confused, and Tao Huimin took the initiative to explain this tradition at the gate of the Capital Theater.

Every day when the actors go on and off the show, these loyal audiences will wait here.

Li Meixian said: "Isn't that the same as Rong Shao's group of fans? I really didn't expect such fans to exist in the Mainland!"

Her exclamation-like words attracted Wang Mingquan's eyes reminding her that this was a bit inappropriate.

Lin Weimin didn't care, he nodded and said, "Almost."

He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already past seven o'clock, and there were still more than 20 minutes before the performance. Usually, the group of people left early.

The group of people still hasn't dispersed today, and it's obvious that some actors are late.

Lin Weimin asked loudly from this group of drama fans: "Who else hasn't come?"

Someone shouted: "Battle!"

Lin Weimin's complexion suddenly darkened, and the A corner of Battelle in "The Horse Man" was Han Zhuangzhuang.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Everyone knows the relationship between Lin Weimin and Han Zhuangzhuang, so they are naturally happy to see such a scene.

As soon as the crowd finished shouting, the roar of a motorcycle came from not far away. A few seconds later, the motorcycle braked suddenly at the entrance of the theater.

Han Zhuangzhuang had already seen Lin Weimin standing at the door, his face was ashen.

"What are you doing so fast? Are you rushing to reincarnate?" Lin Weimin scolded with a dark face.

Knowing that he was wrong, Han Zhuangzhuang pushed the cart and explained: "I have something to do today!"

"What is more important than your job?"

Han Zhuangzhuang wanted to explain again, but he saw a group of people behind Lin Weimin. Although he didn't know what they were doing, they obviously came with the old uncle.

He sighed in his heart, today is considered a hit!
