1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 402 Father, do you know?
Fang Yihua called Lin Weimin for no other purpose, but to make an appointment for a script.

Teacher Lin refused almost without thinking.

Writing scripts for TVB, if it weren't for the fundraising for the Chinese Literature Foundation, he would not have done it.

The price/performance ratio is too low!

Writing novels in China, although the published manuscript fees are a little less, but being able to publish and adapt them is both famous and profitable.

Writing scripts for Broadway gained both fame and fortune.

Writing a movie script, the manuscript fee is average, but at least it can get a roll call.

Writing scripts for TVB, the fee is so-so, needless to say the name, how many viewers will pay attention to the screenwriters of TV dramas?

One word summary: not necessary.

What would you do with that time!
Declining Fang Yihua's request, Lin Weimin hung up the phone.

A few days later, Lu Yao came to Yanjing.

The first draft of the second part of "The Ordinary World" has been written, and this time he came to Yanjing to deliver the manuscript, and to revise it by the way.

Lin Weimin looked at the manuscript, and he completely inherited the simple, thick, long-winded, and complicated style of the first book.

"You're so stubborn!" he joked.

Lu Yao was smoking a cigarette, with a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face, "You're already so virtuous, why change it! If they want to scold, let them scold!"

Lu Yao smashed and smashed the pot, showing the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Don't be so decadent, the first volume sold well." Lin Weimin said.

In May, the first volume of "Ordinary World" was published by Guowen Society, and nearly 20 copies had been sold in two months.

This achievement is considered a top achievement in today's domestic book market.

The first volume of "The Ordinary World" was published, and Lu Yao received a lot of royalties for it.

When it comes to the sales performance of the book, Lu Yao seldom smiles on his face. The sales performance of the book is indeed good news for him.

No matter how the critics scold, at least there are readers' approval.

During lunch, Lu Yao chatted with Lin Weimin about Cheng Zhongshi.

He and Cheng Zhongshi are both Shaanxi writers. Lu Yao was inspired by Cheng Zhongshi when he was in Yantai to participate in the pen meeting when he was going to write "Ordinary World".

In the past two years, the two have communicated from time to time. Lu Yao has finished writing both "Ordinary World", while Cheng Zhongshi has not started writing yet!

Lin Weimin also had correspondence with Cheng Zhongshi, so he knew his current situation very well.

"The two of you have completely different styles. He checks the information in every detail, and he will not write lightly unless he is fully prepared."

Lu Yao also expressed admiration, "His patience is unmatched by ordinary people."

"Old Cheng is determined to write the first thing, so he must be cautious."

After lunch, Lu Yao was arranged to enter the guest house of the Guowen Society.

In the past two years, Lu Yao has been obsessed with creation, and the place where he stayed most was the guest house of Chenjiagou Coal Mine, and then the guest house of Guowen Society. On the contrary, he seldom went back to his own home.

In mid-July, Lin Weimin was invited to attend the premiere of "The Ming Dynasty 1566: Jiajing and Hai Rui".

It is still the Capital Theater, and it is still a stage for human art.

On the huge play poster at the entrance of the theater, there is only one name in the screenwriter column: Mu Sen.

"How do you feel?" Lin Weimin patted Mu Sen on the shoulder and asked him with a smile.

Mu Sen suppressed the excitement and apprehension in his heart, "It's hard to describe!"

"Hehe, you'll get used to it in the future."

Mu Sen looked at Lin Weimin, "Mr. Lin, thank you!"

"You have said this sentence many times! Come on, go in!"

Lin Weimin said, and the two walked into the theater.

Before the performance started, Musen went to the gate of the Capital Theater to meet Lin Weimin.

In his heart, only such a form can show his gratitude and respect to Mr. Lin.

Today is the premiere of "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566: Jiajing and Hai Rui". Not only many celebrities from Yanjing's cultural and theater circles, but also many people from government departments have come to the show.

The novel "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" was published last year and has not only been well received by countless readers and critics, but has also become a must-read for many public officials.

Among them, rumors about "recommendation by big leaders" are rampant, and no one knows where the source is, but anyway, everyone says so, and it seems to have become some kind of established fact.

Lin Weimin sat in the first row, next to Mr. Wan, and on the other side was Wang Meng, who is now the head of the ministry.

As for Mu Sen, the screenwriter, although he was also sitting in the first row, he was a bit off.

There is no way, there are too many bosses here today, he is a young man, if not for his status as a screenwriter, he would not even be in the first row.

The Capital Theater, if calculated in terms of scale, is second to none even on Broadway.

On the stage, Zhu Xu, one of the pillars of Renyi, was dressed in plain clothes with a few patches. He played the role of Hai Rui.And his rival actor, who played the role of Emperor Jiajing, was Ren Baoxian.

Emperor Jiajing stood on the stage, dressed in splendid attire, with an imposing manner.Hai Rui was on his right side. Although he was sitting, his momentum was not weak at all.

"...They don't speak, I speak alone, what is insinuation? I speak alone, but all the officials refute it. Do they want the emperor to be infamous forever?" After a long series of lines, Zhu Xu's momentum Ruhong stared at Emperor Jiajing played by Ren Baoxian.

Ren Baoxian's face was full of anger, "Is the only one a loyal minister? A good minister? A virtuous minister?"

Zhu Xu was still not afraid, "I'm just a direct minister!"

"A direct minister without a father or king?" Ren Baoxian asked sternly.

Zhu Xu said again: "I lost my father when I was four years old. My mother kept me and brought me up alone. When I became an official, my mother said anxiously: "Although you have no father, you eat the king's salary, and the king is your father.

Actually, Hai Rui is not the only one who regards the emperor as his father, and all the people in the world regard the emperor as his father.

……

The emperor lived deep in Xiyuan, devoted himself to mystical cultivation, always observed the sufferings of the people, and sometimes thought about it, tens of millions of people, although they have a king but no father, even though they have officials, they are like robbers.In the two capitals and [-] provinces, there are babies waiting to die from hunger and cold, and fish waiting to be cut.

Father-in-law, do you know? "

After a long line, Emperor Jiajing fell silent on the stage.

The audience in the theater was also completely overwhelmed by the actors' superb acting skills and stunning lines. They kept their eyes on the performance on the stage while holding their breath.

Musen was also watching the performance on stage, moving his mouth as the actors read their lines.

He wrote the script, and he knows every line by heart, but most of these lines come from Mr. Lin's novels.

Usually during rehearsals, he doesn't feel that strongly.

But today, on the stage of the drama performance, listening to the ups and downs and sonorous lines of the actors, for some reason, tears rolled down his face.

This line is written, absolutely!

"Father, do you know?"

Hai Rui's question revealed the cries of hundreds of millions of people living in poverty, as well as the despair of thousands of starving people.

Off the stage, there were not a few audience members who shed tears like Mu Sen, and even some emotionally sensitive audience members covered their faces and cried bitterly.

This generation of viewers grew up reading Mao Xuan.

"What happened in the Six Dynasties is only a private plan of the family", an old saying, which fully expresses the decay of the feudal dynasty.

While many audiences were saddened by the drama, they thought more about the exploitation and oppression suffered by the ancient Chinese people for thousands of years.

I don't know who it was, but suddenly, they shouted loudly in the theater: "The Chinese people have stood up!"

In a short while, it triggered a chain reaction among the audience. Everyone raised their arms and shouted: "The Chinese people have stood up!"

The audience shouted loudly, tears streaming down their faces, but their faces were devout.

As 37 years ago, a great man stood on the Tiananmen Gate and announced to the whole world.

Shouting like a tsunami interrupted the performance on stage.

Zhu Xu and Ren Baoxian had never encountered such a situation in their decades of acting career, and they stood there momentarily at a loss.

After a few seconds, when they heard what the audience shouted clearly, they couldn't help being excited.

But this is performing on stage, they are not Ren Baoxian, nor Zhu Xu, but Jiajing and Hai Rui.

The two forced themselves to stand on the stage calmly, maintaining their expressions and momentum. After a few minutes, the audience's emotions stabilized and the shouts gradually faded away.

Zhu Xu had an idea, sank into his dantian, and asked a heavy question again.

"Father, do you know?"

Ren Baoxian exploded in anger, "Hai Rui, I send you eight words, no father, no king, abandoning the country and family."

An unprecedented performance accident was saved by the calm response of the two veteran actors.

After more than half an hour, the performance on the stage ended.

Unlike other drama actors who came out one by one for the curtain call, "Jiajing and Hai Rui" had only two actors, both standing on the stage.

Zhu Xu and Ren Baoxian called all the behind-the-scenes staff to the stage, as well as the screenwriter Mu Sen who was sitting in the audience.

Mu Sen pulled Lin Weimin, Lin Weimin didn't want to go, but was dragged onto the stage by him.

All the crew members of "Jiajing and Hai Rui" stood on the stage, and applause and cheers erupted in the theater.

On the stage, everyone is enjoying the glory that belongs to them.

Only Lin Weimin caught a glimpse of Feng Yuanzheng standing on the side curtain of the stage and waved to him.

Only then did Feng Yuanzheng step onto the stage to share this unforgettable moment with everyone.

Renyi has never been pretentious in its curtain call, and the curtain call usually ends after the applause of the audience weakens.

But the applause from the audience today was long-lasting, warm and enduring.

The cast and crew on the stage couldn't move at all, they could only stand on the stage and bow continuously to thank them.

Every time they bowed, the applause of the audience was like waves hitting the rocks, and the waves were higher than the waves.

After 10 minutes, the audience finally calmed down, and the applause gradually faded away.

Everyone bowed to the audience again before returning to the backstage.

Backstage, everyone was still excited and hugged each other.

Everyone's joy is not only because of the success of today's premiere, but also because of the courtesy and honor they received.

For drama workers like them, there is no higher praise than the applause and enthusiasm of the audience!

The curtain call was finally over and everyone went backstage.

Lin Weimin patted Feng Yuanzheng on the shoulder, "You are also an actor in this play, why don't you come on stage?"

Feng Yuanzheng said without confidence: "Mr. Lin, I am just a student."

"When you're on stage, you're an actor. I picked them, not students."

Lin Weimin's words made Feng Yuanzheng feel warm and excited, and nodded solemnly towards Lin Weimin.

Everyone who returned to the backstage congratulated each other, and the whole backstage was bustling.

At this moment, Yu Zhi led a group of bigwigs to the backstage to express condolences to the cast and crew.

Lin Weimin, the author of the novel, was immediately surrounded by everyone, and Wang Meng praised: "Today's rehearsal of the play is very good!"

Lin Weimin pulled Mu Sen, a young man, over, "It's all written by Comrade Mu Sen!"

Wang Meng looked at Mu Sen, "This drama has a lofty intention and is unconventional. It is really well written. Comrade Mu Sen has a level!"

Mu Sen quickly waved his hand and said, "This play is actually all thanks to Mr. Lin. He is both the original work and the screenwriter, but Mr. Lin is a high-spirited and honest man, so he didn't sign it."

Wang Meng and everyone present did not expect that there was a story behind the scenes of "Jiajing and Hai Rui". At this moment, Yuzhi laughed and said, "Don't be modest, both of you. The success of this drama cannot be achieved without the two of you."

Lin Weimin added: "There is also everyone's credit!"

So Zhi patted his head, "Yes, and everyone's credit!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing!
