1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 429

What ideas can Lin Weimin offer?
Desire, of course.

In the early 90s, "emancipating the mind" was a hot word. Chinese people who had undergone great changes were extremely eager for a rich spiritual life, and "Desire" came into being under such circumstances.

As the first long-form TV series in China from the perspective of family ethics, "Longing" can be said to be the first to open up the trend. Once it was broadcast, it quickly formed the scene of "the whole country mourns Liu Huifang, and everyone laments Song Dacheng".

Lin Weimin told everyone the general plot of "Desire", and everyone listened with fascination.

"How does Xiaolong feel?" Lin Weimin asked.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded, "This story has a good foundation, and it will definitely not be bad if it is really written into a script."

Lin Weimin asked Wang Shuo again, "How's it going? Shuozi, I've told you all the ideas, what can I say if I can't write them down?"

As soon as he said this, Wang Shuo's face flushed red, which made him feel more uncomfortable than Shen Xujia pointing at his nose and saying that he couldn't do it.

"Isn't it just a bad script? Wait, I'll get the job done in a month!" Master Shuo was as unruly as ever.

Lin Weimin nodded, that's right, I still can't handle you?
At this time, Zheng Xiaolong raised his wine glass: "Mr. Lin, I would like to offer you a toast, thank you for your guidance!"

"Why are you being so polite?" Lin Weimin had a glass of wine with him after speaking.

The script "Longing" was originally written by later generations Wang Shuo and Zheng Xiaolong when they were having dinner at the Jimen Restaurant. Later Wang Shuo also wrote a novella "Liu Huifang" based on this script, which received bad reviews. Like the tide.

If you write a story like "Longing" as pure literature, it will be really vulgar.

But if you look at him as a pastime to mobilize your emotions, that's a stroke of genius.

Giving this idea to Zheng Xiaolong is like being a favor.

"Mr. Lin, you came up with the idea. You should have a name for the script, right?"

For many screenwriters, it is a great honor to be signed, but for "Longing", it is an honor for this TV series to be able to sign the name "Lin Weimin" in the screenwriter column.

Zheng Xiaolong asked Lin Weimin for his opinion. He waved his hand and said, "Forget about signing the script. It's just an idea. You can look at how to save the script later."

Feng Xiaogang persuaded: "Then how can it be done! Teacher Lin, without you, this script would not exist. You have to get a name, otherwise, how can Xiaolong feel so happy?"

He persuaded with Zheng Xiaolong, and finally gave Lin Weimin the title of "chief screenwriter". Under the chief editor, Lin brought three younger brothers, namely screenwriters Wang Shuo, Haiyan and Ma Dudu.

Lin Weimin, the editor-in-chief, doesn't have to work. He has already come up with an idea, and the rest can be left to the three younger brothers.

Ma Dudu was very happy that he could be named as a screenwriter.

After talking about the script, Zheng Xiaolong toasted everyone again.

With the idea of ​​a new script, Zheng Xiaolong's passion was ignited again, and he couldn't wait.

He pulled Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Baogang to do a simple calculation. According to what Mr. Lin said, "Longing" can be made into an indoor drama, and the cost of a single episode is relatively low.

But if it is a long-form TV series, the total cost will increase a lot. According to the past experience, it will cost about 80 yuan, which is not a small amount of money for the center.

Dong Laishun's party came to an end amidst the excitement.

Everyone was happy, but Wang Shuo was depressed with a doormat-like face.

He couldn't be happier.

In just one meal, he had two extra homework assignments, a novel about life in the compound, and a script of "Longing".

Before leaving, he looked at Lin Weimin very unkindly.

Lin Weimin didn't care, this coward's whole body was soft except for his hard mouth, easy to bully!
When going to work the next day, Lin Weimin accompanied Tao Huimin to the vehicle management office.

In the 80s, there was no such thing as a driving school. If you want to take a driver’s license test, you need a unit to go through the procedures. Tao Huimin’s procedures were issued by Yanying Factory. She filmed "Dream of Red Mansions" in Yanjing, which is also half of Yanying Factory. staff.

The driver's license test these days is not as complicated as later generations. When he arrived at the venue of the vehicle management office, Tao Huimin drove the car around the venue a few times, and got his driver's license smoothly.

Lin Weimin repeated his old tricks, and a pack of cigarettes covered seven or eight chapters. Tao Huimin had no problem switching to driving a truck.

After getting the driver's license, it is considered legal to drive this time. Tao Huimin is still a little excited.

After Tao Huimin was sent to the film crew, Lin Weimin went to work at the Guowen Society for a day.

At noon the next day, Lin Weimin was called downstairs, Cheng Zaochun and the Yanjing 212 in the club were already waiting here.

"Leader, why don't you drive my car!" Lin Weimin suggested with a bitter expression on his face.

"It's only a few hours away, bear with it. This time I'm going to a meeting, don't burn your buns like that, keep a low profile!" Cheng Zaochun warned.

Lin Weimin muttered, "I make a lot of money, what are you afraid of?"

What Cheng Zaochun said was right, the meeting was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and there were leaders attending the meeting. Driving Lin Weimin's Mercedes-Benz there was indeed too eye-catching and easy to gossip.

With the road conditions of this era, driving a 212 on the road, it is estimated that the waist will be bent.

But who let others be the leader? Lin Weimin got into the car helplessly.

All the way to the government guest house in Zhuozhou City, Lin Weimin felt that his ass was not his own when he got off the bus.

When he was complaining to Cheng Zaochun, he heard someone calling his name, "For the people!"

Lin Weimin turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Zilong.

"Brother Zilong? You're here too?" Lin Weimin said pleasantly.

"It's not just me, many acquaintances have come back here!" Jiang Zilong said.

The theme this time was "Adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and Oppose the Bourgeoisization of the Bourgeoisie." The invited participants were all well-known domestic writers, literary theorists, and cadres of the literary and art management department.

Lin Weimin heard this theme, and then thought of some trends in the newspapers recently, which made it right.

The atmosphere of this meeting was completely different from the meetings Lin Weimin had attended in the past, and Lin Weimin could feel it from the moment he entered the guest house.

There were indeed a few acquaintances who came to the meeting, but everyone just exchanged pleasantries without much communication.

It is worth mentioning that this time Lin Weimin also saw Liu Feiyu, an old writer who criticized himself in the critique of "Lover".

Cheng Zaochun originally planned to take Lin Weimin to say hello to Liu Feiyu, and the verbal argument is a verbal argument. In reality, it is the most common scene in the literary and art circles to stage a scene of "smiling to wipe away all grievances and enmity".

But Lin Weimin had no such plan, and it would be considered polite not to scold a few words when they met.

Constructive criticism must be clearly differentiated from being on the line. Some people’s criticism is not just criticism, and they will not stop until something big happens.

Taking a cold look at Liu Feiyu, Lin Weimin turned his head and walked away without any hesitation.

Faced with such a situation, Cheng Zaochun could only smile awkwardly and deal with it.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very serious. At the meeting, People's Literature just published "Show Your Tongue or Go Empty" in the January and February issues of this year and was criticized by name.

Correspondingly, Lin Weimin's "Burning" was named and praised by the leaders.

"Compared with the novel "Show Your Tongue or Empty", we can see that "Burning" is a work that clearly stands on the opposite side of the bourgeoisie, portraying the decadence and ugliness of capitalist society. vividly.

Such works are worthy of serious reading and appreciation by all of us, not works that blindly cater to or even flatter capitalist values..."

When the second in command was speaking, Lin Weimin glanced at Liu Xinwu, his face was almost blackened.

Mr. Liu has become a villain today.

Today's strong wind is obviously criticizing the Association of Arts and Crafts, but who made the Association of Arts and Culture not come, Teacher Liu can only bear it on his behalf.

In the afternoon, the smell of gunpowder at the meeting became more and more intense, and Cheng Zaochun was a little scared. He came from that era and was very sensitive to these things.

During the break, he actually proposed to run away.

Lin Weimin looked at him in surprise, "Old Cheng, you can't do it, can you? It's just a meeting, let them scold you!"

Cheng Zaochun complained, "Of course you're not afraid of being complimented on your kid."

"At the beginning, you dragged me here, but now you have to run away."

"The situation is different. How could I expect the smell of gunpowder to be so strong."

"Then you are not afraid of being worn with small shoes while running halfway?" Lin Weimin asked curiously.

Cheng Zaochun cursed and said: "I'm afraid of a fart! It's not the counterpart unit."

Lin Weimin saw that this was really messed up, and the good-tempered old Cheng was not happy.

Anyway, Cheng Zaochun is the leader, if he wants to run away, then he will.

"Then run?" Lin Weimin asked.

Cheng Zaochun and him looked at each other and nodded.

Lin Weimin said again: "Do you want to call Teacher Liu?"

Cheng Zaochun hesitated for a moment. Although "People's Literature" belongs to the Guowen Society, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Cultural Association, so it is not wrong for Mr. Liu to be criticized this time.

Lin Weimin and Cheng Zaochun ran away unkindly.

On the third day after returning to Yanjing, Jiang Zilong called Lin Weimin. It is said that he and Cheng Zaochun's running away made the leader a little unhappy.

The main reason is that as soon as Lin Weimin was praised on the front foot, he ran away on the back foot, which is a bit of a slap in the face to be true.

Lin Weimin didn't care. If he wasn't happy, he wouldn't be happy. He wrote "Burning" not to make the leader happy, but purely out of his own heart.

Jiang Zilong gloated at Lin Weimin's misfortune again on the phone. This meeting was to criticize the bourgeois liberalization of the domestic literary world. His "Burning" was originally scolded very fiercely by people in the cultural circle.

This time it was set up by the leaders as a positive example. It is estimated that after the contents of the meeting are published in newspapers and magazines, they will definitely be scolded even more fiercely.

After hearing Jiang Zilong's words, Lin Weimin was also a little depressed.

If I get scolded this time, it seems a bit wronged.

But there are people who are more wronged than him. Teacher Liu was criticized at the meeting and had to write a review when he came back.

Thinking of this, Teacher Lin became happy again.
