1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 443 Treat each other with sincerity and heart to heart

After being silent for a long time, Bertolucci asked: "Director Teng, can I ask your opinion? How should I deal with this kind of thing?"

Teng Jinxian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

I really followed Teacher Lin's words!

There was a bit of distress on his face, "I have nothing to do. Lin Weimin is notoriously short-tempered. Because some people criticized his book before, he wrote a book to scold those people.

There are also foreign students from our country, because when he went to the United States, people said a few good things about the United States and said a few bad things about our country, so he wrote a book and scolded them.This person is just an unscrupulous gangster, as long as he doesn't like it, he will overturn the table at every turn! "

According to Teng Jinxian, Lin Weimin has become the biggest bully in the Chinese literary world.

After he said this, Bertolucci and Thomas became even more worried. Why is this man like this?
"Is there no way?" Thomas asked unwillingly.

Teng Jinxian pondered for a moment before saying: "Really not. He said that as long as you dare to destroy cultural relics, he will definitely make your film impossible."

At this time, Thomas gave full play to his subjective initiative and blurted out: "Then we don't destroy the cultural relics, isn't it over?"

Teng Jinxian's expression was slightly surprised, "Without destroying cultural relics? Can the movie still be made? Don't delay the shooting!"

Thomas glanced at Bertolucci, "There shouldn't be any problem. They are all shooting props such as lighting and tracks. At worst, I can think of other ways."

Bertolucci was noncommittal under Thomas' gaze. They really didn't have to do that, they just wanted to save some time and energy.

At this moment, Teng Jinxian slapped his thigh, and said with a slightly angry expression: "Can you think of other ways to tell me earlier? Why did you make such a fuss? You really..."

He looked annoyed, angry and helpless, as if he was irritated by Thomas's stubbornness and lack of flexibility.

Bertolucci's face showed a bit of embarrassment, "It's not that we don't want to be flexible, it's just that Thomas and Lin Weimin quarreled too quickly and fiercely, and everyone didn't have time to discuss countermeasures!"

Seeing what he said, Teng Jinxian thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the same! Oh, Mr. Lin really has a bad temper! Mr. Thomas, you are too, there is no need to argue with him so much. What's the problem, everyone Wouldn’t it be nice to sit down and discuss a solution together? Look, now that we’ve said that, won’t the problem be solved?”

Thomas didn't care about Teng Jinxian's criticism of him, and asked, "Are you sure you can appease Lin Weimin?"

He heard a lot from Teng Jinxian, and now in his impression Lin Weimin is just a flat-headed guy who walks on the African grasslands.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it!
"No problem! He wants to trouble you, in the final analysis, because you destroyed the cultural relics in the Forbidden City. Now the cultural relics are in good condition. As long as you don't destroy them, if he dares to mess around again, I don't need you to come forward. I dare to go to the higher authorities to sue He turned against him!"

At the end of Teng Jinxian's speech, his tone was very blunt. It could be seen that he was also very upset by Lin Weimin's operation.

Bertolucci and Thomas couldn't help feeling sorry for each other, feeling sympathy for each other.

"Then what should we do next?" Bertolucci couldn't help asking.

Teng Jinxian looked at the two of them, "You must take good care of the staff of the film crew, but you must not damage the cultural relics. Not only now, but also in the future. I will immediately chase Lin Weimin, but I can't let him go to our ministry."

"no problem!"

Bertolucci and Thomas nodded, agreeing very happily, as long as their movie can be shot normally.

Brother Xun talked about the problem of opening windows and removing the roof, and attributed this to the nature of the Chinese. This is not accurate. This is not the nature of the Chinese, but human nature.

After Teng Jinxian left in a hurry, Thomas and Bertolucci looked at each other with depressed expressions.

If I knew this was the case, I might as well discuss the solution directly just now!

The office building of the Palace Museum is located inside the south gate, close to Jingshan Park and the Bell and Drum Tower.

According to Lin Weimin's prior explanation, Teng Jinxian found the dean's studio, and saw Lin Weimin chatting and laughing with others as soon as he entered the door.

"Chatting with you is really informative. My collections are all messed up. When I have time later, you must help guide me!"

The old man sitting opposite Lin Weimin is Zhang Zhongpei, the director of the Palace Museum, a well-known archaeologist in China, and the chairman of the Chinese Archaeological Society.

After Lin Weimin explained to Teng Jinxian, he went to the office building of the Palace Museum to find the director. He reported his name and saw that Zhang Zhongpei went well.

When he told Zhang Zhongpei what the crew of "The Last Emperor" had done, Zhang Zhongpei was also very helpless.

It’s not that the people from the Palace Museum didn’t take care of it, but foreigners don’t listen to you at all. What can you do?
Is it a fine?drive away?Or simply arrest people?

The foreigners are not in a hurry, other departments and the leaders above are in a hurry first.

Lin Weimin told about his conflict with the crew just now, Zhang Zhongpei was still a little worried, Lin Weimin told him to relax and wait for news from Teng Jinxian.

Seeing Teng Jinxian at this moment, Zhang Zhongpei stood up, and Lin Weimin stood up after him, with a wise expression on his face: "Teng Ju, how are you doing?"

Teng Jinxian had a smile on his face, "Weimin, it's exactly what you said, they agreed."

Zhang Zhongpei was also a little happy when he heard the words.

Lin Weimin said unhurriedly: "Awe-inspiring but not virtuous, most people are like this!"

His words were merciless, but Teng Jinxian felt that he had completely grasped the psychology of these foreigners, and it was only suitable for Lin Weimin to do this matter.

"You still have a way!" Teng Jinxian laughed.

Lin Weimin joked with Zhang Zhongpei: "Dean Zhang, I have done your Palace Museum a favor this time, no matter how you look for it, you have to treat me to dinner, right?"

"Haha! Please, please, I will arrange it tonight!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

At this time, Teng Jinxian said: "I'll invite this guest!"

Lin Weimin looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Teng Jinxian said: "It's better to resolve an enemy than to end it. Today, you and Thomas have such a deadlock, just take this opportunity to resolve it."

"It's not necessary, is it?" Lin Weimin said.

"Hey, why is there no need. Everyone is right about things and wrong about people. It's all for business. There's no need to get angry with each other." Teng Jinxian said in a mature way.

"That's fine, I'll listen to your arrangement. If they are willing to eat, I don't mind."

Teng Jinxian said happily: "Just wait for your words!"

In the evening, Quanjude, in the box on the second floor.

The two parties who were still quarreling during the day gathered together, as well as Zhang Zhongpei, the dean of the Palace Museum, and Teng Jinxian, as the person who organized the dinner today, he was very attentive.

As the director of the Film Bureau, he is a doormat, and neither side is easy to offend.

"Come on, come on, everyone is not acquainted with each other today, let's toast together!" Teng Jinxian drank.

Lin Weimin glanced at Thomas, who was a bit reserved, and raised his glass to signal him. With his gesture, Thomas also smiled and raised his glass.

During the day, the two quarreled fiercely, and now they can drink a glass of wine to settle their suspicions and let everyone relax.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table became more relaxed.

Bertolucci and Thomas promised Teng Jinxian to come to dinner today. Naturally, they wanted to calm things down. They are foreigners and don't understand the twists and turns on the Chinese wine table. To show their sincerity, they toasted.

It was the first time for Bertolucci and Thomas to drink liquor with a degree of more than 50 degrees.

After a few cups of wine, both of them were a little dazed, and were taken aback by Teng Jinxian, an old fritter in the wine market.

Bertolucci smelled of alcohol, held a half bottle of Erguotou in his hand, put his arm around Teng Jinxian's shoulder, and imitated his words.

"If you're too hungry, let's go!"

Teng Jinxian laughed loudly, "That's right! Erguotou, good wine! You still have good taste!"

"The number is right!"

"Good wine!"

Talking about wine, the two had another drink.

Compared with Bertolucci, who is an artist, Thomas is much smarter. Although he also drank too much, he behaved fairly calmly. I don’t know when he got together with Lin Weimin and chatted about Lin Weimin’s works in the United States. Development.

With the catalysis of alcohol, the unhappiness of the day has long been left behind.

When the topic came to Arthur Miller, Thomas listened with great interest.

Arthur Miller is a legendary playwright in the United States and has a great reputation throughout the West. Although Thomas is a relatively well-known producer in Europe, there is still a big gap between figures like Arthur Miller. .

Even Bertolucci, who later won an Oscar, cannot be compared with Arthur Miller in the evaluation of Americans.

Many people always think that the freedom of speech in the United States means that they can say anything, which only shows that they do not understand the history of the United States.

In the short history of the United States, it is worth mentioning that Arthur Miller was active in the American theater circle after World War II.

In the late 40s, Misu struggled for hegemony, and the control of freedom of speech in the United States reached the extreme. At that time, it was called a red terror. The notorious McCarthyism was born during this period, and HUAC, a right-wing extremist organization, made its debut.

Anyone who dares to criticize the American society and government will be regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the US government.

Broadway and Hollywood, which are the strongholds of the theater industry, have naturally become key areas for the US government to target.

Arthur Miller was summoned by HUAC because he wrote about the scandal of the US military in the work "My Brother and My Son". He was also summoned with his old partner and director of "My Brother and My Son" Elijah Ka Thumbs up.

Elia Kazan was the most important collaborator in Arthur Miller's theatrical career, and "Death of a Salesman" was originally directed by Kazan.

In fact, not only the two, but all the intellectuals in the American drama circle were the first to be the targets of HUAC's investigation and summons.

Among the people in the drama industry surveyed, some would rather go to jail than give in. Among them, the most famous one is the "Hollywood Ten Gentlemen". Many people in later generations may never have heard of these people's names.

Because these people were blacklisted after rejecting the US government's recruitment, they will never be able to appear on any mainstream stage in the US.

Later generations of American politicians and Hollywood stars flaunt justice, democracy, and freedom every day, and mention those politically correct topics at every turn, but anyone who understands history should understand how hypocritical and double-standard this stuff is.

Listening to the slogans chanted by a group of castrated eunuchs, people who can be brainwashed by such things have more or less problems with their understanding of the world.

Hollywood Ten Gentlemen are in prison for not submitting to HUAC.

Arthur Miller made the same choice as them, but his friend Elijah Kazan chose to submit.

At that time, Arthur Miller and Elijah Kazan were also on the rise in their careers. Kazan, who wanted to enter Hollywood from Broadway, explained the situation of seventeen friends for his own future, successfully escaped the investigation, and Become a representative of "obedient people" and have a smooth journey in Hollywood.

It was also since then that Arthur Miller announced that he and Elijah Kazan had nothing to do with each other, and never said a word.

Lin Weimin got along well with Arthur Miller. Apart from the two admiring each other's talents, the most important reason was that he recognized Arthur Miller's character.

In China, Lao Mitou is considered a good comrade who has not betrayed the revolution.

Make friends with such a person, you can't go wrong!

Listening to Lin Weimin's talk about his experience with Arthur Miller, Thomas suddenly had a change in his mind about Lin Weimin.

This person has a bad temper and is very domineering, but as a friend, he should be very good.

"Lin, I really hope we can become such friends." Thomas sighed with the strength of alcohol.

Lin Weimin smiled, "Treating each other with sincerity and heart-to-heart is a friend. Right?"

Thomas looked at him and laughed, "Yes, this is a friend."

The two clinked their wine glasses and had a good time.

　There is something wrong, there will be two updates today.
