1980 My literary era

With Lin Weimin's words, the publication of "Feng*Fat*" will not be a problem. The difficulty is how long this novel can last.

At that time, Cheng Zhongshi's "White Deer Plain" was also required to be revised and another version was released. However, the problem with "Feng*Fei*" is that it cannot be changed. If you really want to change it, it is better to tear it down and start over.

Anyway, Lin Weimin is used to this kind of thing. Even if he receives a few criticisms, his work will be taken off the shelves for a while, and then it will be released after a few years when the news is over.

The publication of "Feng*Fat*" is in progress, and the sales of "The King of Painting" are also booming.

The first issue of the resumed publication was launched on May 5, and the sales exceeded 1 million copies on May 14. It was reprinted again later. The circulation of the first issue of the magazine has reached 1.5 million copies, and it is still selling well in bookstores all over the country. , the inventory should be completely consumed in the second half of the year.

"King of Painting" is the second issue of the bimonthly magazine that arrived on May 20 as promised. The sales momentum seems to be even more popular than the first issue of the reissue. There is almost no suspense about the sales exceeding 2 million copies in a single issue.

Two issues a month, with a sales volume of 2 million copies per issue. For a magazine that has been suspended for more than half a year and then resumed publication, this is a dreamlike start.

Those comic publications that originally laughed at the Chinese Literature Society for spending money to buy a bunch of junk, losing their wives and losing their troops, no longer laugh this time.

Because they discovered that the money and energy invested by the Chinese Literature Society were not in vain. The title of "King of Paintings" was not saved, but the new "King of Paintings" won the hearts of countless comic readers in the country.

In just a few months, in the minds of these readers, "The King of Painting" has already represented the national comic to a certain extent.

Once such a public opinion environment is formed, it will be a huge blessing to "King of Painting", and it will also be a nightmare for many competitors.

Nowadays, most of the domestic comic publications adopt the method of introducing foreign comics, but they are basically borrowing. These publications do not cultivate Chinese comics and Chinese comic authors as carefully as "The King of Picture Books" does.

To put it bluntly, these publications are just about making quick money.

"The King of Picture Books" set off a new upsurge in the development of domestic comics, but was immediately shut down. After that, the development of Chinese comics stagnated, but this does not mean that the domestic comics industry has not developed.

Those publications that introduced foreign comics picked up the market left behind by "The King of Picture Books" and made a lot of money. During this period, they were also cultivating the market for the new "King of Picture Books".

Now "The King of Painting" has returned with great momentum and won the favor of countless anime readers. These comic publications, which were originally gloating about the misfortune, can only look on with envy and hatred as they see the market and readers being easily occupied by "The King of Painting".

The sarcasm and ridicule before can no longer be uttered. At most, some sarcastic remarks can be made.

Among these sarcastic words, the most common one is that the level of Chinese comics is not as good as foreign comics, especially Nihong comics.

The reality is that this is indeed the case. There is indeed some gap between the quality of most Chinese comics published by "King of Paintings" and the works in these comic magazines that use it. But the problem is that all the "used" comics in these magazines are not. They are not unknown, every "imported" comic is at least slightly famous in Nihong's country, and many comics are even classics.

What's more, not all works in "King of Painting" are incomparable to foreign comics.

Not to mention "Snow Coconut", the latest series "Flower Season and Rainy Season" has a fresh and beautiful style of painting, and the plot is tactful and touching. It is no worse than many Nih Hung comics. It is widely welcomed by readers. The recent sales of "King of Painting" Soaring, this comic adapted from the novel of the same name has also made considerable contributions.

"King of Painting" resumed publication, sales surged, and "Flower Season and Rainy Season" became very popular.

Everything indicates that Chinese comics are ushering in its heyday.

In late May, the crew of "Flower Season and Rainy Season" who went to various parts of the country for actor auditions returned to Yanjing.

For two full months, the crew traveled to 16 large and medium-sized cities across the country, interviewed thousands of young actors, and finally brought back information on 60 people.

After returning to Yanjing, the first thing Haiyan did was to come to the Chinese Literature Society to meet Lin Weimin.

"Teacher Lin, these are the young actors we selected." Haiyan handed over several bags of information as he entered.

"Thank you for your hard work. Sit down first."

Lin Weimin personally poured a cup of tea for Haiyan, "Have you had enough trouble in the past two months?"

"It's definitely hard work, traveling all over the country, but the rewards are also rich..." Haiyan said with a smile on his face when talking about the national auditions.

This was the first time for Wencheng Film and Television to audition actors, and the amount of work was huge. Haiyan took the lead and followed almost the entire process.

For this audition, Wencheng Film and Television not only contacted many domestic professional schools and theater troupes, but also contacted many art training institutions and high schools. The momentum was so great that almost everywhere we went, we saw news reports from local newspapers and TV. The pre-promotion of the TV series "Flower Season and Rainy Season" has attracted a lot of attention.

Nowadays, everyone across the country knows that "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is going to be a TV series!

After chatting for more than half an hour about some things that happened during the audition process, Haiyan was still not finished, but he knew that Lin Weimin's time was precious, so he said: "Mr. Lin, you'd better take a look at the actor information I brought back. The management is selected from thousands of outstanding young actors, and there will definitely be a candidate you are satisfied with."

Lin Weimin smiled and opened the information bag, "You have worked so hard. If I am still dissatisfied, wouldn't it be a bit unjustifiable?"

The most important thing about actor information is actually a photo.

Lin Weimin didn't even look through the information, but directly placed the photos of dozens of young actors on his desk one by one. At a glance, they were all beautiful faces.

The young actors who can be recommended for auditions must have good foundation. In addition, they are selected from thousands of people. It can be said that the best are selected from the best. In terms of appearance alone, they are all impeccable.

"Well……"

Lin Weimin held his arms and touched his chin, looking at the photos on the table with a thoughtful look on his face.

Haiyan looked at Lin Weimin, feeling a little uneasy. With so many good seedlings, Teacher Lin should be able to choose from them, right?

After about two minutes, Lin Weimin, who had been maintaining one movement, finally started to move.

He stretched out his hand and began to pick up the photos from the table one by one, not in order, but picking them up.

Haiyan immediately realized that Teacher Lin had made a decision in his heart.

It's just that you and your team spent two whole months and you only watched it for two minutes. Isn't this a bit childish?

Lin Weimin couldn't hear Haiyan's inner voice. He kept moving his hands, and in a moment he picked out the photos of eight young actors.

Haiyan stood up and looked at Lin Weimin, "Teacher Lin!"

Lin Weimin waved to him, and Haiyan walked over. Lin Weimin handed him the photo in his hand, "These are considered selected. You, the crew, can arrange the roles! For the remaining roles with relatively small roles, you can just arrange them. "

Um?

Even if you always pick actors quickly, why don't you even consider the role? Did you come here just because of your face?

"Teacher Lin, there are so many actors, why don't you take another look at them?" Haiyan asked carefully.

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "There's nothing good to see. Photos are more tests of facial features than cameras. They are all put together. At a glance, the ones that stand out are definitely the same. The positioning of the TV series "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is different from other TV series. What is important is youth. Vitality and appearance, these two things are enough.”

Haiyan was doubtful in his heart, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only say: "Then you can help us decide on the role, otherwise we won't be sure."

Lin Weimin hesitated for a moment and said, "That's okay."

Haiyan immediately put the photos in his hand back on the table. After selecting them, there were only eight photos left. Although the faces on them were immature, they were all handsome men and beautiful women.

Haiyan looked at these photos and thought that Teacher Lin was too quick, but his eyes were indeed poisonous, and many of the people he picked out were his favorites.

Lin Weimin tapped his fingers and said, "This little actor looks like a good boy. Let's play the leading actor Zhang Chao."

Haiyan borrowed a pen from Lin Weimin's desk and said, "Wait a moment."

He leaned over and turned over the photo. On the back was written the name of the young actor - Huang Xiaoming. Haiyan added a few words after "Huang Xiaoming", "played as Zhang Chao".

"Go on," Haiyan said.

"Zeng Li has a bright and majestic appearance, so let's play Liu Xia."

Zeng Li plays Liu Xia, and Hai Yan continues to write.

"This Deng Chao looks naughty and mischievous. Let's play sports committee member Wang Xiaotian."

Deng Chao plays Wang Xiaotian.

"Let Pan Yueming play the role of Yu Fa. This kid has a bit of a ruffian spirit."

Pan Yue's famous costume is Yufa.

"The role of Achun can be given to Li Bingbing. Her temperament is more mature and suitable for the role of a female worker."

Li Bingbing as Achun

…

Lin Weimin called out the names of ten characters in one breath, and he unconsciously felt the pleasure of collecting stamps. He was also surprised. He did not expect that after a nationwide audition for "Flower Season and Rainy Season", he would find so many familiar faces from later generations. Come.

Imagining these rising stars gathering together in the TV series "Blooming Season", Lin Weimin felt very good when their fans watched the TV series counting the stars frame by frame a few years later.

"Flower Season" is positioned as a youth idol drama. With these young and beautiful stars of tomorrow, why worry about big things happening?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but patted Haiyan on the shoulder, "Good job this time!"

Haiyan collected the photos and information of the actors and said with a smile: "Isn't this all part of the job?"

He asked again: "Teacher Lin, the role of Xie Xinran has been chosen by you, Jiang Qinqin. Then the Gao Yuanyuan from before..."

Lin Weimin slapped his head and said, "Look, my memory has completely forgotten this little actor."

He thought for a while and said: "Remove the young actor who plays Liu Qing and replace it with Gao Yuanyuan."

"The roles of Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Qing are a bit incompatible, right?" Haiyan said hesitantly.

Liu Qing in "Flower Season and Rainy Season" is an optimistic pistachio who likes to eat snacks and has a somewhat chubby figure.

"Let her gain weight. The actor must fit the role, and the role cannot be made to accommodate the actor."

Lin Weimin's words left Haiyan speechless. You are the boss, whatever you say is right.

In fact, Lin Weimin said this out of the bad taste of creating a bit of "black history" for the goddess.

After communicating with Lin Weimin, Haiyan returned to the office of Wencheng Film and Television.

After sitting for a while, he became a little curious again and placed the sixty photos of young actors on the table again, and then looked at them carefully.

Don't tell me, it's exactly what Teacher Lin said.

At a glance, the ones who stood out were indeed the children chosen by Teacher Lin.

It’s amazing!
