1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 454 I am looking forward to it
Lin Weimin was caught off guard by Cheng Kaige's sudden sincere question.

If you ask me that way, it makes me know you very well!
This is Cheng Kaige's first shortcoming, he is too narcissistic, and he assumes that others must pay attention to him.

Lin Weimin's second shortcoming flashed in Lin Weimin's mind. He was too superstitious about the power of text.

He always felt that it would be better for Cheng Kaige to be a writer or poet, and he himself has some accomplishments in literature and poetry.

It is precisely because of these attainments that he often falls into his own mindset when creating, treating his work as a literary work rather than a film and television work.

Since Cheng Kaige asked questions sincerely, Lin Weimin also knew everything.

After all, it's the "children's version" of a young poetry-reciter, so it's interesting to flirt with her.

Lin Weimin's words were very objective, pointing directly to Cheng Kaige's core issue. After he finished speaking, he looked forward to Cheng Kaige's reaction with great interest.

After hearing these two shortcomings, Cheng Kaige didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

To say that he is narcissistic is of course a criticism, and Cheng Kaige felt a little unhappy.

Then Mr. Lin said that he was too superstitious about the power of text and lyricism, and that he was more suitable to be a poet or writer. He was originally a literary youth, and he felt so happy after hearing this.

After holding back this contradictory mentality for a long time, Cheng Kaige said: "You... are really accurate!"

Lin Weimin observed him for a long time, and he could probably guess his inner activities in his heart.

It's really interesting to play this kind of eating and vomiting. No wonder Liu Zhenyun likes to chat like this, it's really easy to show his sense of superiority in IQ.

"According to what you said, what I lack is not technique and ability, but attitude?" Cheng Kaige asked.

Lin Weimin said bluntly: "I have said to many people that a creator must have the ability to jump out of self-examination of works. At present, you do not have this ability."

These words were a bit merciless, but Cheng Kaige asked: "Then what can you do?"

Cheng Kaige is a literary youth, and he is very fond of those young writers that Lin Weimin has unearthed.

One method is perfect, one method is perfect, maybe you can find some panacea from Lin Weimin?

Lin Weimin spread his hands, "What can be done? If a seed wants to grow fruit, what it needs is growth. The only thing we can do is to apply some chemical fertilizers to it."

Hearing these words, Cheng Kaige's eyes lit up instantly.

This remark coincides with his recent thoughts!
Not only that, he came to "The Last Emperor" today as a guest star, and seeing Bertolucci directing a huge crew of hundreds of people like his arms, it also strengthened his inner thoughts.

"Mr. Lin, do you think I should go abroad for further studies?"

Ok?
Did I say that?

Lin Weimin scratched his head, looking at Comrade Kaige's devout face.

Well, let me say it.

Teacher Lin nodded with deep meaning, immediately making Cheng Kaige more firm in his belief.

"I came to ask you, and it really is the right person."

Teacher Lin smiled amiably, "The most important thing is that you can figure it out yourself!"

Cheng Kaige dragged Lin Weimin and chattered for a while, the loss of "The King of Children" was a big blow to him, but the bigger blow came from Zhang Yimou winning the Golden Bear Award.

Although Cheng Kaige didn't say it directly, but what he meant was what he said. After all, Zhang Yimou was his photographer at the beginning.

As a result, now that he won the grand prize, he broke the contract with the film festival without promise, but ended up with nothing.

Cheng Kaige also knows that he has become a big joke in the domestic film industry. He is under a lot of pressure, and he is suffocating.

At this time, he is in love with Hong Huang, the daughter of a famous family. Hong Huang is fascinated by his talent in "Yellow Earth", and Chen Kaige is chasing after him.

It is said that men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men through layers of gauze, this is absolutely true, Cheng Kaige was soon captured by Hong Huang.

Hong Huang came from a famous family and studied abroad in 80. After graduation, she worked in Gan Weizhen Consulting Company invested by AIG Insurance Company in the United States. The company's main business is to provide consulting services for foreign companies in China.

At this time, Hong Huang's salary was 7000 meters a month.

Before "The King of Children", whether it was "Yellow Earth" or "The Great Parade", Cheng Kaige received countless attention and praise, and became the most promising person among the new generation of directors in China.

Therefore, in front of Hong Huang, he can also maintain his personality as a talented scholar.

But the failure of "Kid King" completely shattered Cheng Kaige's pride.

Especially against the background of his girlfriend Hong Huang who has such excellent conditions, he looks like a complete loser.

After learning from the pain, Cheng Kaige finally made a decision.

Study abroad.

This statement is a bit inaccurate. In fact, I visited Mimi at the invitation of the U.S. Asian Cultural Exchange Foundation and New York University.

Lin Weimin listened to Cheng Kaige babbling like Xianglin's wife for a long time, and suddenly he understood him a little bit.

It's not easy for this guy to maintain his talent as a person. He usually has to be with everyone, so that people can't see his fragility. Now when he meets himself, it is probably because he is not familiar with him that he is willing to be with him. Pour it out yourself.

Hearing what Cheng Kaige said, Lin Weimin patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You, don't put too much pressure on me. Yimou's winning the Golden Bear Award is also due to luck. Those who work on movies should understand that there is no formula for winning awards, the key is that the work should be good!"

Cheng Kaige nodded vigorously, "Mr. Lin, you are right!"

Lin Weimin nodded slightly, a child can be taught.

"Mr. Lin, I really hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you when I return from studying abroad!"

Lin Weimin looked at Cheng Kaige's expression of gratitude, complained in his heart, and said for a long time that he was waiting for me here.

"Hehe, there will be a chance!" Lin Weimin laughed.

Hearing Lin Weimin's words, Cheng Kaige's eyes lit up.

Teacher Lin's level is obvious to all. In the film industry, he has made three shots in total, once in "Lover", once in "Red Sorghum", and once in "The Last Emperor".

"Lover" won an award in Cannes, and "Red Sorghum" won an award in Berlin. Although "The Last Emperor" has not yet finished filming, with the blessing of a great director like Bertolucci, the investment of 500 million meters is already doomed The fate of being shortlisted for major film festivals is only a question of how many awards will be won in the end.

Counting with his fingers, Mr. Lin has never missed a single shot in the film industry in the past few years.

Just horrible!
If they can cooperate with each other, doesn't that mean they will have golden thighs?
After chatting with Cheng Kaige, it's already afternoon, and today's production crew will call it quits early.

"The Last Emperor" is a large production crew, and it will take more than a day just to pack the belongings and move them. Bertolucci and others are planning to leave the day after tomorrow, and there is no announcement tomorrow.

In the evening, Thomas specially hosted a banquet for Teng Jinxian, Zhang Zhongpei, Lin Weimin and others. Cheng Kaige accompanied the last seat and was mainly responsible for pouring wine.

Even so, Comrade Triumph is happy with it.

World-class directors, directors of film bureaus, and literary giants, not everyone has the opportunity to participate in such a high-end dinner.

During the meeting, Teng Jinxian heard that Cheng Kaige planned to go to the United States to study, and he encouraged him a lot.

In all honesty, Cheng Kaige's reputation in the domestic film industry has already been established, even the failure of "Kid King" actually doesn't have much impact on him, it's just that there are more gossips.

He was able to let go of the burden in his heart and choose to go abroad for further studies. Teng Jinxian was very supportive.

After the banquet, "The Last Emperor" officially moved to Changchun.

In the morning of the next day, Lin Weimin did not go to work directly, but drove to Haimenkou first. Today is the awarding ceremony of the Taofen Publishing Award.

Lin Weimin showed his work permit and invitation card, and went through some inspections before entering the sea.

The standards of the Taofen Publishing Award were very high. The Ministry of Rites, the Press and Publication Administration, and the National Publishing Association came forward, and the awards ceremony was directly held in the people's hall.

Lin Weimin is very familiar with this place. In the past, he would come here once or twice a year, but in the past two years, there have been fewer visits.

The layout of the venue was full of 80s characteristics, all the heavyweights in the domestic publishing industry came, and the people sitting on the rostrum were also senior officials and leaders.

Lin Weimin sat with several leaders of the Guowen Society, and Wang Yangchen, today's winner, the old comrade had a rosy face and was full of emotions.

When it was time to present the awards, Wang Yangchen got up quickly when he heard his name.

He had waited too long for this honor!
A group of winners came to the stage one by one. There were almost no young winners on the stage, all of them were old comrades over 50 years old.

This is also normal. The Taofen Publishing Award itself rewards those veterans who have been working in the publishing field for many years. If a young face suddenly appears, there must be shady.

National Literature Publishing House, Zhonghua Book Company, Sanlian Bookstore, CC Xinhua Bookstore, Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, Children's Publishing House...

The units of the award-winning comrades on the stage are all well-known publishing institutions and bookstores in China, which also reflects the professionalism and limitations of the Taofen Publishing Award.

After the awards were presented, there were interviews and greetings. The Publishing Department is the governing body of the Chinese Literature Society. Lin Weimin chatted with several leaders, and then several leaders from the Ministry of Rites came over.

After exchanging pleasantries, the leader looked at Lin Weimin with a smile on his face, and said, "Comrade Weimin is really young and promising. We heard a lot about you winning an award a while ago. Glory to the country! Glory to the country!"

Since the beginning of this year, there have been many awards related to Lin Weimin, such as the Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum", the National Book Critics Association Award for "Burning", and the Tony Award for "The Kite Runner".

In just half a year, he was able to win so many honors overseas continuously, which is also very helpful for the government's internal publicity.

"The leader has won the award, it's just a fluke." Lin Weimin said politely.

The first waved his hands, "Hey, being too modest is pride. We have a record of you winning awards abroad in the past few years in our Ministry of Rituals. If you don't check it, you won't know it. If you check it, you will be shocked! You are a big winner in our domestic literary and art circles." !"

When the top leader said this, several people around couldn't help laughing, and the Bian Shu said: "Weimin is the treasure of our publishing system!"

The leader pretended to be unhappy and said: "Comrade Chunguang, you are blocking me with words in advance! Afraid I will abduct your precious lump?"

"Hey, this is called taking precautions before they happen!"

It seems to be a joke, but it is actually half-truth.

The News|News Publishing|Administration is now directly under the State|State Council, but it is still inextricably linked with the Ministry of Rites. If the Ministry of Rites really wants to pry Lin Weimin away, there are many suitable positions, so we have to guard against it.

After the joke, the leader encouraged: "I read the previous "Burning", it was very well written, and deeply criticized the corruption of capitalism and the bourgeoisie. When will the new work be published? I would like to read it too! "

After the leader finished speaking, Lin Weimin hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Cheng Zaochun's expression was a little unnatural.

Are you still looking forward to his new works?

I'm afraid you won't be smiling so brightly when you see it.

"Soon, it will be published in two months!" Lin Weimin laughed.

"I am looking forward!"
