1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 665 Teacher Lin will make you rich
The rough cut of "Farewell My Concubine" is four and a half hours long, far too long for a movie.

But during the screening, no one expressed dissatisfaction. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful and poignant story, and did not notice the passage of time.

When the film screening ended and the lights came on, Michael Phillips, the producer and investor, applauded first, and then everyone present also applauded, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.

From the beginning of the film screening, Cheng Kaige finally showed a relaxed expression on his serious face throughout the whole process, but he still did not relax his smile.

Until he saw Lin Weimin clapping his hands, the heart he had been hanging on finally fell to the ground.

With Lin Weimin's approval, it means that the quality of the movie version of "Farewell My Concubine" has reached a certain level.

After all, Lin Weimin is not only the author of the original work, but also an outstanding screenwriter.

"Kaige did a good job!" Lin Weimin encouraged.

Cheng Kaige was still talking to Xu Feng, when he heard Lin Weimin's praise, he bowed and shook hands with Lin Weimin.

"It's all Mr. Lin's original work!"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but think of Cheng Kaige's unrestrained and unrestrained figure in Yanying Class.

I still like the unruly you back then!
After watching the rough-cut version of the film, several investors and producers felt relieved. The quality of the film is excellent. I believe that it will be improved after the fine-cut version.

Only Lin Weimin was still a little dissatisfied after watching the movie.

Several producers shook hands with the main creator one by one to congratulate. Lin Weimin said to Zhang Guorong when shaking hands: "The performance is very good, but the lines are still a bit lacking."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Guorong's originally happy face showed embarrassment.

He consciously put in a lot of hard work in this movie, and he devoted himself to the acting.

Xu Feng smiled and said: "The lines are a bit lacking, but the performance is really at the level of an actor."

Lin Weimin smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't deliberately pick on Zhang Guorong's faults, but pointed out the problems of the film realistically. After all, he was going to participate in the film festival, and Cheng Kaige was ambitious, so he should have an attitude of striving for perfection.

Regardless of Zhang Guorong's expression, Cheng Kaige said, "Guorong's lines are indeed a problem, and I'm also thinking about it."

Xu Feng gave him a wink, but Cheng Kaige pretended not to see it.

Zhang Guorong quickly corrected his embarrassing state of mind, and smiled freely, "Ms. Xu, don't excuse me. If it's bad, it's bad. It's my limit to be able to act to this level. There's nothing to be ashamed of. "

Xu Feng said: "Although there is a slight accent, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Lin Weimin said: "If you can deal with it, let's deal with it. Kaige is counting on this movie to win the award. There is nothing wrong with being meticulous."

Cheng Kaige agreed with Lin Weimin's words. This movie is very important to him, and he certainly doesn't want such flaws.

"But..." Xu Feng hesitated, "The films participating in the film festival must have the original voices of the actors."

It is an express regulation of many film festivals in the world that films with non-original sound performances are not allowed to participate in the awards. The main reason is that the voice of the actors is also part of the performance. If the second dubbing is used, it will be unfair to other finalists.

"If you keep quiet, there should be no problem, right?" Cheng Kaige said with a little confidence.

It seems that he has had this idea for a long time, but today just in time for Lin Weimin to bring it up first, he is not afraid of offending others.

Anyway, Teacher Lin said it first.

Xu Feng looked at Michael Phillips and asked for his opinion with his eyes. Michael Phillips spread his hands. He hadn't seen any scenes before, and this was not a problem at all.

Xu Feng looked at Lin Weimin again, and Lin Weimin said, "Let's keep it low-key, but try to find an actor with a voice similar to Guorong's."

Hearing this, Xu Feng was worried again, where could he find such an actor?
If you want to dub the image, you must meet at least three conditions.

First, he had to have a voice similar to Zhang Guorong; second, he had to be proficient in Peking Opera; third, he had to be able to act.

It is not easy to meet these three conditions.

Not only Xu Feng, but even Cheng Kaige was also worried. Such a voice actor was too difficult to find.

At this moment, Lin Weimin said to Chen Kaige: "Kaige, does Yang Lixin remember?"

"Of course I remember. The drama version of Cheng Dieyi did a great job."

"Let him try it, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Weimin is the original writer and the screenwriter of the drama version of "Farewell My Concubine". He said that Yang Li is new, and no one dares to object.

Cheng Kaige was good at good things, but he didn't know Yang Lixin, and he might not agree to such a thing, so Lin Weimin had no choice but to do it himself.

Less than an hour after the phone call, Yang Lixin appeared in Yanying.

"Teacher Lin!" Yang Lixin breathed heavily when he saw Lin Weimin.

Lin Weimin introduced Yang Lixin to everyone, and explained the situation to him in detail.

Finally, he asked seriously: "Although you are dubbing Zhang Guorong, this film will be participating in a film festival, so your name cannot appear, do you agree?"

When Lin Weimin asked this question, Cheng Kaige didn't know what to do.

He is an official actor in the drama version, and he has worked hard to dub the voice, but no one knows his credit. Cheng Kaige thought about it for a while, and felt a little aggrieved.

But Yang Lixin said with a smile: "You have already spoken, I can't say 'no'. Besides, if the film is to participate in the film festival, it is also to show the prestige of our country. If I really want to win an award, I am also happy without my name."

That said, there is a level!

Lin Weimin patted Yang Lixin on the shoulder, "Not bad."

Cheng Kaige also held Yang Lixin's hand with some gratitude, and he joked, "Director Cheng, I'm not worthy yet, so please don't be in a hurry to thank me, if it's not suitable, aren't you thanking me for nothing?"

His words caused everyone present to laugh.

Then everyone moved to Yanying's recording studio. Yang Lixin listened to Zhang Guorong's voice for a few minutes, and then officially started dubbing.

"Brother, don't forget the three sons under the mat."

"You said, I knew it, I knew it from the time you met her, it's over, everything is over."

……

Stunning!

Like, so similar!
Even Zhang Guorong, the original owner, felt extremely miraculous.

"Lixin, don't lower your head! Your voice should be even brighter." Outside the recording studio, Cheng Kaige couldn't help reminding Yang Lixin when he saw Yang Lixin always lowered his head.

Yang Lixin said: "No way. If the neck is lowered, the position will change, and the voice will be different."

Only then did everyone realize that they dare to fall in love with others, and they also have skills, not just relying on their voices.

This makes everyone admire even more, what is a good actor?This is called a good actor!

After confirming that Yang Lixin was competent, Cheng Kaige and the other producers were relieved.

Yang Lixin said: "Can you give me a copy of this video tape? I will try to figure it out when I go back, and try to restore Mr. Zhang's voice to the greatest extent possible."

His professionalism has won the respect of everyone present, but the movie is not finished yet, and he can only watch it at Yanying if he wants to watch it.

"Then I will stay here for a few days." Yang Lixin said.

The dubbing problem was perfectly solved, and Lin Weimin and others were also relieved.

Before leaving, Lin Weimin explained to Cheng Kaige: "Give me more rewards, this is a rescue."

Cheng Kaige nodded, not to mention anything else, but to Yang Lixin's professionalism, he couldn't treat him badly.

Zhang Guorong on the side interjected at this time and said: "The money should come from my salary."

Several people looked at Zhang Guorong, and he murmured, "Take out the 3-meter knife, and consider it Mr. Yang's reward."

Everyone present was startled. With Yang Lixin's reputation, even playing the role of Cheng Dieyi would not be able to get so much money!
Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "Mr. Lin's face is worth the money."

It turned out that it was for Teacher Lin's face, Cheng Kaige heaved a sigh of relief, he thought that Zhang Guorong was deliberately killing his army.

Lin Weimin said: "There is no face. You can get so much salary because of your reputation and acting skills. Lixin's reputation can't compare to yours. 3 meters is too much."

"Then 1 meters, no more and no less, Mr. Yang's dedication is also worth the price." Xu Feng said.

Lin Weimin nodded, "Ms. Xu's suggestion is good."

"Then do that." Cheng Kaige said.

He told Yang Lixin the news. Yang Lixin didn't expect that he would pay such a high salary just to save a scene. He is now acting in a drama at Renyi, and his monthly salary plus subsidy is less than 400 yuan. 1 meters is enough for him. I have been acting for ten years.

He thanked Cheng Kaige repeatedly, but Cheng Kaige said: "You have to thank Teacher Lin for this."

Yang Lixin remembered the phone call Lin Weimin had made to him. This is where he came to save Mr. Lin. It was clearly Mr. Lin who brought him to make a fortune.

On March 1993, 3, a grand press conference was held in the banquet hall of Yanjing Hotel.

"Signing Ceremony of the First Batch of Writers of Buhuo Series".

A line of text on the huge exhibition board attracted the attention of all the guests and reporters present.

In today's banquet hall, many journalists and people from the literary circles came, most of them were invited to attend, and some of them were uninvited and came on their own initiative.

Whether they are media reporters, people in the literary circle, people in the publishing industry or ordinary literature lovers, they are actually very interested in the cloth tiger series that has been speculated from years ago to the present.

After all, in China's contemporary literary and publishing circles, there is only one such unique existence as the Buhuo series that has attracted countless eyeballs since its birth.

In the banquet hall in the morning, reporters and guests gathered. As the protagonists of today's signing ceremony, the leaders and writers of the Guowen Society are still holding their lutes half-hidden and have not yet shown up.

"The Guowen Society is really capable of tossing around, and today's battle is not small."

"That's right, it's just a series of books, and it's just a lot of trouble for them! It's another call for papers, and another signing ceremony."

"Eyeballs are the economy, and publicity is the primary productive force. Their publicity campaign is really too powerful. I can guarantee that tomorrow there will be at least dozens of media reports on the news of the 'cloth tiger series writer's signing'."

……

The reporters are well-informed, and are not surprised by the operation of the Guowen Society, but they also admire the propaganda strategy of the Guowen Society. It is a bit of a talent for the people who can come up with this set of things to be used by the Guowen Society!
In the small room next to the banquet hall, Cheng Zaochun and Lin Weimin, two of the three giants of the Guowen Society, gathered for the signing ceremony today, which shows that the Guowen Society attaches great importance to this signing ceremony.

A total of eight writers who will sign contracts with the Guowen Society today are Wang Meng, Jia Pingwa, Liang Xiaosheng, Huang Anyi, Jin Ying, Tang Kangmei, Hong Feng, and Yuxiu.

Everyone present, except for Hong Feng and Yuxiu, were all old acquaintances of Lin Weimin.

Hong Feng and Lin Weimin still have a relationship, after all, they were born in writing avant-garde literature.

But Yuxiu, a 19-year-old girl, really met Lin Weimin for the first time. Her family is in Pengcheng, and she is now a senior in high school.

Yuxiu was accompanied by her parents when she went to Beijing. It can be seen that this girl's family background is superior, and her parents are very supportive of her child.

It was the first time to meet many well-known writers including Lin Weimin, and at the thought of going on stage to face the reporters, Yuxiu's nervous heart was about to jump out.

Wang Meng saw the little girl's nervousness, and joked, "Don't be afraid, children, they will deal with me, a veteran."

Lin Weimin said, "Old Wang, you are wrong. Of course you are the target of the reporters, but the reporters will not let Xiao Yu go. The two of you are much more topical than the rest of them."

The faces of the other people around were not unhappy when they heard the words, but smiled a bit.

Lin Weimin was right, Wang Meng and Yuxiu were more topical than them.

Wang Meng's qualifications are older than everyone present. He became famous in the 50s with "Long Live Youth" and "A Young Man Came to the Organization Department". Now he is nearly [-] and is still active in the literary world.

Not only that, but also served as Minister of Culture for three years since 86.

Both his status in the literary world and his status in the officialdom were higher than those of the other writers present.

With him around, he can basically attract more than half of the firepower of the reporters.

And the rest of the firepower is likely to be concentrated on the little girl Yuxiu.

19 years old, a high school student, and a debut novel, these three elements come together, and it is impossible not to attract reporters.

The Buhuo series has been fired for two months from the end of the year to now, and has received more than a hundred manuscripts of novels, but only Yuxiu and Hong Feng have been selected for their works.

Compared to Hong Feng, Yuxiu is undoubtedly more topical.

Everyone was chatting, and it was almost time. Cheng Zaochun and Lin Weimin led the team, and a group of ten people entered the arena one by one.

All of a sudden, flashes of light kept flashing in the banquet hall. There were at least forty or fifty journalists present at the scene today, and they were all less than ten meters away from the rostrum, staring at many writers.

It is normal for a publishing house to sign a contract with an author. As long as a book is published, it is impossible not to sign a publishing contract.

But Guowenshe's ingenuity this time is that it not only signed works but also signed contracts, and some writers even signed contracts without even having a picture of their works. This is the first time in the Chinese literary world.
