Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 413 The chief screenwriter who fooled you
Li Feng took He Ping's letter paper, "Thanks to you, otherwise Aixia would not stop nagging."

"She is also anxious. If you can publish more articles, she will have face with her parents."

Li Feng nodded, of course he understood Liu Aixia's difficulties.

Liu Aixia's father is now the head of the County Material Bureau. He is a real fat man and a very face-saving person.

He didn't quite agree with Liu Aixia's falling in love with Li Feng. In his mind, the daughter could definitely find someone with better conditions.

Wherever there are people in this world, class is indispensable.

Li Feng's parents are both retired doctors, and he works in a cultural center, so he is considered a respectable family in the county.

But in the eyes of Liu Aixia's father, this is the wrong family.

Liu Aixia does not expect Li Feng to become a nationally famous writer like He Ping, even if she has a few decent masterpieces, she still has something to say to her parents.

It's better than Li Feng rushing to work for their family now, and the father-in-law won't even stay for a meal in the future.

Li Feng sighed, "It's all my fault."

He Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Don't get angry, first take a look at my things."

Li Feng thought that He Ping was helping him out just now, but he didn't expect that he was actually asking him to watch something.

"what is this?"

"Take a look before you talk."

Li Feng glanced at the letter paper and found that it was a script outline.

The story happened in Hantun, a rural area in Northeast China in the late 70s. After the movement, the country was in disarray. At this time, the country was implementing the policy of rural joint production contracting.

Zheng Guoqiang, the officer who came down from the county to promote the policy, worked hard for this, mobilizing members from house to house every day.During the process of mobilizing members, Zheng Guoqiang got to know several young people in the team, Han Zhaojun (male) who worked diligently on the land and wanted to get rid of poverty, Wang Weijia (male) who was keen on small business but was always beaten, and an expert chicken farmer. He Xiaoping (female), Han Guimei (female), a shrewd team accountant, and Yu Aihua (female), a teacher who ran away from the team's elementary school all the time.

Several young people got acquainted with each other in the quarrel, and decided to work together in order to change the poverty and backwardness of Hantun.

Everyone formed a team to persuade the team to carry out co-production contracting, encouraged the team to raise chickens and pigs, and set up a transportation team to open source for the team.

Driven by several young people, the members of the team gradually developed the motivation to struggle, and the young people also gradually developed feelings through the accumulated work and mutual help, and finally came together.

The outline of the story written by He Ping was not long, and Li Feng finished it in a while.

"Why did you think of writing a script?" Li Feng asked He Ping.

"I chatted with my father-in-law a few days ago, and said that Han Tun's deeds are being reported everywhere, but this is all government propaganda. I think it is necessary to do a publicity for ourselves, so that more people know We are Hantun." He Ping didn't tell Li Feng too much.

Li Feng wondered: "What does this have to do with the script?"

Without experiencing the public opinion propaganda of later generations, it is difficult for Li Feng to understand the relationship between the script and the propaganda of Hantun.

He Ping explained to him patiently: "Have you watched the TV series?"

"Look, Garrison's Expendables look great."

"Don't interrupt. This is the outline of a TV drama script. I want to write a TV drama script, the content is about our Hantun, and then cooperate with the TV station to shoot it and get it broadcasted by the TV station, so that we can achieve the purpose of promoting our Hantun .”

After hearing this, Li Feng understood He Ping's thoughts, "But you've only watched TV dramas, have you tried it?"

"The first time is raw, the second time is familiar. It doesn't matter if you try it. I think this method is feasible."

He Ping was never afraid of making troubles. No one is born with supernatural powers. He will do everything without learning, and he will fail once or twice at worst.

"Then why do you want me to see this?" Li Feng asked.

He Ping put his arms around Li Feng's shoulders, "I'm not taking care of you. Think about how you are treated in Aixia's house now, don't you want the serfs to stand up and sing? As long as you come to participate in the script creation, when the TV series is broadcast on TV The signature of the chief screenwriter is yours. If you think about the TV series we watch, which one is not popular all over the country, and your name will also be spread all over the country, at that time, you were still afraid that Ai Xia's father would not want to see you?"

Li Feng was dubious, he felt that He Ping was fooling himself, but this kid caught his weakness, and he couldn't bear to expose it.

"How can you be sure that it will be made into a TV series?" Li Feng asked.

He Ping stared, "What's the matter? Do you look down on people? I'm also a well-known writer in the country. "Spirit and Flesh" and "Lu Deshui" have been adapted into movies one after another. I can't afford to make a TV series?"

Li Feng grasped the point of He Ping's words, "Is "Lu Deshui" going to be made into a movie? When will it happen?"

"Hey, didn't I tell you guys? Just a while ago, director Xie Jin called me and wanted to shoot "Lu Deshui". I thought about it and cooperated for a while. We are old acquaintances, so I agreed."

He Ping's understatement hit Li Feng's fragile glass heart again.

They are all human, why is there such a big gap?
However, this news also gave Li Feng a lot of confidence. Since He Ping's works have been adapted one after another, it means that there is something interesting about the TV series.

His heart moved, the letter was clutched in his hand, and his eyes rolled wildly.

"Then how are you going to do this?"

"You write the script first. When the script is almost finished, I will ask my father-in-law for instructions. He happens to be in charge of publicity. Making TV dramas is a new thing these days. It is definitely not enough for us to go to the TV station alone. We are promoting Hantun as well as publicity platforms. County and Yingcheng, as long as this joint is dredged, then things will be easy to handle."

Li Feng felt that what He Ping said was quite reliable. His father-in-law was a parent official in Ping County, so he had this innate condition. Besides, the official media outside were now reporting on Han Tun's deeds, which was also a convenient condition.

"I haven't written the script!" Li Feng expressed his worries.

He Ping said flickeringly: "Don't worry, the script is very simple to write, and it's dry. I'll find a few scripts for you to read and you'll know."

He also said: "Also, I plan to make this script into a super-long TV series. If it goes well, it is best to make one every year to reflect the changes in our Han village during the reform and opening up, so this is a big project.

Didn’t I just say that you are the chief screenwriter, and you are not doing your job properly in our book club? No, what I mean is that among the young people who love literature, they have the most writing experience, and this position must belong to you.

However, the amount of script creation is too much for you to do alone. I plan to invite all the members of the reading club, except for those who don’t want to participate.There are many people with great power. Although you have little experience, the collision of young ideas will always produce sparks of genius. "
