Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 175 The novel is about to be made into a movie

He Ping came to the commune to call and learned that his novel was going to be adapted into a movie. Mao Chunhua happily kissed him on the face in public, and was booed by his colleagues.

After his girlfriend finished expressing her excitement, He Ping called the Shanghai Film Studio. The person who answered the phone claimed to be Li Zhun, a screenwriter who had been cooperating with Director Xie Jin for many years.

He Ping agreed to their request for adaptation on the phone, and Li Zhun proposed to invite He Ping to participate in the adaptation of the script, but He Ping politely declined.

He Ping has been deliberately strengthening his accumulation in literary creation for more than a year. After the fermentation of "Chinese Youth", he has become a little famous in the whole country, although many people have not read his works. There is also a girlfriend of a literary youth by my side, and I have to finish the cup I filled with tears.

If he really participated in the adaptation and creation of the script, he would not be afraid, but he would be afraid that people would dig into the details.After all, the geographical background of "Soul and Flesh" is very different from his current living environment. If people really want to ask for details, they are easy to be asked, which will lead to suspicion.

After hanging up the call with screenwriter Li Zhun, He Ping rode his bicycle back, but he didn't expect to ride halfway backwards, when Mao Chunhua rode up from behind.

"What are you doing? Are you in a hurry?" He Ping asked puzzled.

"Thank you... Director Xie Jin for the call from the actor, you just hung up... Director Xie Jin called himself and wanted to tell you something."

Mao Chunhua said out of breath, He Ping left less than 5 minutes ago, and the Shanghai Film Studio called again. The person on the phone claimed to be Director Xie Jin, and wanted to communicate with the author of the novel again.

He Ping wiped his girlfriend's sweat with distress, "Why are you so anxious about this matter, when can't you call him back? You are so tired in such a hurry."

After resting for a while, Mao Chunhua regained his strength and urged: "Hurry up and go back with me, the director is still waiting."

"Okay, go back." He Ping smiled dotingly.

The two returned to the post office, and He Ping called back the Shanghai Film Studio.

"Hello, hello." A thick male voice with a slight Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, is this the director Xie Jin? I am the author of the novel "Soul and Flesh." He Ping introduced himself.

"Hello, Writer He, I didn't expect you to call back so soon." Hearing He Ping's self-introduction, Director Xie Jin's voice became enthusiastic.

"I just didn't go far, what do you want from me?" He Ping asked.

"It's still about the adaptation of the script. Li Zhun told me your thoughts just now, and I understand your dilemma. But I still hope that you can consider participating in our film creation. After all, you are the original author of the novel. , you have the most say in the novel. We only hope that you can come and help control the overall thinking and style of the script adaptation, and strive to restore the scene and atmosphere of the novel as much as possible with the help of you, the original author. "

"Overall idea? Style?" He Ping has never participated in the creation of films, and he doesn't know much about such things.

"Yes, it's the pictures, the scenes, including the characters that you imagined in your mind when you were writing the novel."

He Ping recalled the scenes in the movie. He happened to watch the adaptation of "Spirit and Flesh", and he still remembers the classic line in the movie "Old Xu, do you want a wife?" say.

"Well, then I can help you as a staff officer."

"Great, then let's make a deal. When will you be able to come to Shanghai? Li Zhun's first draft of the script is already being created. We can discuss it in detail after you come over."

He Ping thought for a while, "Then wait for me for two days, I still have something to deal with, about two or three days, I will call you before I go."

"Okay, you call me in advance, we will send someone to pick you up at the train station. Please write down the address of our factory, Xuhui, listed in Shanghai..., just in case."

"Sure, I've written down the address. I'll call you when the matter here is settled."

"Okay, that's it."

He Ping hung up the phone with a sigh in his heart. He recalled the creation of some novels and film adaptations in later generations. Some directors and investors wanted to drag the original authors out and shoot them. The devil changed it into a low-quality work that the audience eats shit and book fans scold their mothers.

For example, the director of Liuchuan in later generations, who made classic original works like shit, faced the audience's low scores and bad reviews, and still had the face to cry about how lofty his intentions were and how difficult it was to create.

Looking at Dao Xie again, before the birth of A Mou and Kai Ge, he could definitely be regarded as a famous figure of domestic directors in the world, and he could be called a great director.

No matter how they adapt their works, the original author must participate in the film creation. In contrast, it is enough to make most directors of later generations feel ashamed.

After making an appointment with director Xie Jin to go to Shanghai to participate in the adaptation of the script, He Ping returned to the chicken farm.

During the beginning of spring, the performance of the chicken farm can be said to be booming, and the hatching of chicks has not stopped. This is what He Ping has repeatedly emphasized to the members. Overwhelm potential competitors.

With the increasing number of laying hens, the egg production of the chicken farm has gradually increased, and thousands of catties of eggs have been stored in the warehouse. Now the eggs imported from the Hantun chicken farm are basically less than the fresh eggs laid in the first two days Yes, all have to go through the turnover of the warehouse.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, He Ping took a day to send the selected driving learners from the team to Yingcheng Printing Factory, and he came back after explaining to Liang Yuejin. If you want to make trouble in Yingcheng, call him immediately, and he will bring someone back.

It was beyond He Ping's expectation that Han Zhaogui got the lottery for learning to drive, but the result was recognized by everyone. Even the old captain would not easily overthrow it. Han Zhaogui's drawing was considered his luck.

After returning, He Ping went to the county government again, not to find his future father-in-law, but to Zhang Guoqiang. Comrade Guoqiang is now a serious secretary.

The driver's training can be handed over to the printing factory Liang Yuejin, but Zhang Guoqiang needs help for the exam. He is too embarrassed to bother Mao Xueshan for such a small matter, and Zhang Guoqiang's help is enough.

After a few days of research at the train station, He Ping's plan was agreed.

For the past two days, He Ping has been researching the packaging of eggs with his team, and even made a special trip to consult the teachers of the Agricultural College.

The long-distance transport packaging of eggs is a big problem, and any mistake may cause them heavy losses. After today's research, they finally found a suitable packaging method.

After finalizing the packaging plan, He Ping went to the train station to meet with Hao Jianjun to confirm the delivery time of the first batch of goods.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the first batch of eggs jointly sold by the Heping County Railway Station in Hantun was loaded onto a newly purchased tractor. The quantity was not much, just one ton. Because the packaging was cumbersome, it was a full load of a truck.

He Ping personally escorted the train on his bicycle, and he couldn't make any mistakes in the first cooperation. He was really worried if he didn't hand everything over to the people at the train station.

The driver is Han Yuanchao, and he is the only tractor driver in the team right now.He drove carefully along the way, for fear of accidents. These are tons of eggs, which cost more than 1000 yuan in RMB. If something goes wrong, even if he sells him, he can't afford it.

No, now that there are dividends, you can afford to go bankrupt.
