A widower's entertainment

Chapter 148 [The whereabouts of the leader] (please subscribe)

Go to Shanghai.

As a screenwriter, Lin Youcheng did not have any special guidance on the crew of "The Wind". After all, Director Xie Jin was very satisfied with the script and there was no plot that needed to be adjusted. Naturally, there was no need for Lin Youcheng to review the content of the script. to modify.

Because some of the later scenes in "The Wind" were filled with torture, Lin Youcheng did not let Carrot Head stay on the set all the time.

Even though Lin Zhaomei especially liked to stay on the set and ask questions, Lin Youcheng did not let Lin Zhaomei watch those inappropriate scenes. Of course, the scale of the movie is now very small, and those sensitive scenes will not appear on the screen. This also requires testing the director’s editing skills.

Later, Lin Youcheng took Luobotou to Shanghai for shopping, and specifically went to the First Department Store on Nanjing East Road. Although there were still many things that required tickets, there were many products that could be purchased directly with money.

It has to be said that Shanghai is indeed a bustling market. In front of the department store is a very modern large-scale oval circular pedestrian overpass. There are many tourists and passers-by are very lively.

In addition to buying clothes for Lin Zhaoxi and sneakers for Lin Zhaoqing, Lin Youcheng also naturally did not forget about the siblings Lin Zhaoman and Lin Zhaohuan who were not at home. He purchased a lot of carrot-top items, and of course he did not forget about his eldest brother. Lin Youcai's family and his nephew Zhao Gensheng's family also bought some gifts.

The Lin Zhaoxi siblings are naturally very interested in Shanghai, a very fashionable city, because everything is so new to them.

The key point is that Lin Youcheng took Luobotou to the Xinlicha Western Restaurant and had a Western meal.

Xinlicha can be regarded as a civilian Western restaurant. It is a state-owned Western restaurant with a history of nearly a century. It attracts diners to stop by its famous dish "Curry Chicken". The retro lamps, old-fashioned ceiling fans and floors in the store are all filled with the atmosphere of the upper floors. It has the atmosphere of the 1930s, the checkered tablecloth reveals its delicacy, the dim lights and the night outside the window give it a dining environment similar to that of the Republic of China.

"am writing now."

Lin Youcheng poured a cup of tea for Editor Zhou Cheng and said with a smile: "I would also like to thank Harvest magazine for publishing my novel."

Lin Youcheng smiled. He naturally knew this. After all, so many big names in the literary world had given high praise to his "The Wind".

"That's what your novel is worth. We are also very honored that you can submit this novel to "Harvest". Balao is also very positive about your novel."

"Youcheng, I wonder if you have written any new novels now?"

Zhou Cheng still asked this question. Although he came here to meet Lin Youcheng and talk about "The Wind" and literature with Lin Youcheng, as the editor of "Harvest" magazine, he naturally looked forward to Lin Youcheng very much. This author writes a new manuscript.

When Lin Youcheng heard what Lin Zhaomei said, he just smiled. He just took the carrot heads to experience it, but it was obvious that none of the carrot heads liked the taste of curry.

It has to be said that Shanghai now carries the atmosphere of avant-garde fashion, but obviously such a world is completely different from the Spring Breeze Alley in Decheng. But no matter how fashionable and trendy it is, Lin Youcheng still wants to bring the carrot heads back. Go home.

"Dad, I don't like this."

However, before Lin Youcheng returned to Decheng, Zhou Cheng, the editor of "Harvest" magazine, somehow knew that Lin Youcheng had come to Shanghai and rushed to the crew of "The Wind" to meet Lin Youcheng.

"Successful. I heard that both Bayi Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio wanted to make your novel "The Wind" into a movie. The story is really well written."

Lin Youcheng took the carrots to play in Shanghai. No, after studying for a few days, he would naturally return to Decheng.

Lin Youcheng did not deny it and directly admitted that he was currently writing a new manuscript.

When Zhou Cheng heard Lin Youcheng's words, he immediately became very excited and asked, "What story?"

Lin Youcheng said truthfully: "It's also about war, but it's no longer a spy war." Zhou Cheng was naturally even more curious when he heard Lin Youcheng's words, and asked: "The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression?"

Lin Youcheng nodded.

Zhou Cheng looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "Youcheng, can you submit the finished manuscript of your novel to us, "Harvest"?"

"This one……"

Lin Youcheng looked at Zhou Cheng and said truthfully: "There are many magazines asking for articles, and I am also in a dilemma."

Zhou Cheng understands what Lin Youcheng means. He knows very well that Lin Youcheng is now an absolute celebrity in the domestic literary circle. Many literary magazines are asking Lin Youcheng to write articles. After all, magazines like their "Harvest" also I have been asking Lin Youcheng for drafts.

"If you are successful, I still hope you can consider Harvest magazine. Mr. Ba also appreciates your novels very much and praises the stories you wrote."

When Lin Youcheng saw Zhou Cheng moving out of Balao, he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, but still did not give a definite answer.

Zhou Cheng also knew that Lin Youcheng was in a difficult position and couldn't answer. You must know that Lin Youcheng had published novels in "People's Literature" magazine one after another before, and he was surprised when he later submitted his novels to "Harvest" magazine, but this matter couldn't be done. Forcing Lin Youcheng to agree to vote for "Harvest" was just to express the sincerity of "Harvest" magazine.

After expressing his sincerity, Zhou Cheng was also very curious about the manuscript Lin Youcheng was writing. He suddenly thought of the connection between the spy novel "The Wind" and "The Curious Events in the World", and couldn't help but asked casually, "Youcheng, will your new war novel also meet Lynch from "The Curious Case of the World"?"

Lin Youcheng smiled and said nothing when he heard Zhou Cheng's words and did not answer.

Zhou Cheng saw that Lin Youcheng didn't answer, and then saw the meaningful smile on Lin Youcheng's face. He was instantly startled and blurted out: "Is this novel you are writing also related to "Fantastic Things in the World"?"

Obviously, even if Lin Youcheng didn't answer, Zhou Cheng already had the answer in his heart. He was shocked and stared at Lin Youcheng speechless.

Even though he hasn't read it yet, he still wants to force Lin Youcheng to agree to submit the novel he is writing to "Harvest".

However, it is obvious that some things cannot be forced after all.

Lin Youcheng did not stay in Shanghai any longer, and the green train was still banging all the way back to Decheng.

After returning to Decheng with Luobotou, Lin Youcheng finished some things and naturally started to work on the manuscript.

He had already thought about which literary magazine he should submit the novel "My Commander, My Regiment" to, but he didn't know whether this novel would be rejected.

Even if Lin Youcheng is very confident in this story, after all, even literary works such as "The Ordinary World" will be rejected by magazines. Lin Youcheng cannot completely guarantee that the magazine will not take a fancy to it for some reason. this story.

Of course, if that literary magazine really rejects the manuscript, Lin Youcheng will not be as shocked as Lu Yao, but he will just change and try to get another famous actress.

After all, it won't hurt to give it a try.

Just like this, I finished the 800,000-word story, and October has already arrived.
