1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 164 We owe Teacher Lin an award

This year's Spring Festival, Lin Weimin still went to Mr. Wan's house.

Han Zhuangzhuang set off for Shanghai on the 29th of the Lunar New Year. He had to go home to accompany his father. The uncle and nephew agreed that next year Han Zhuangzhuang would take over his father and the family of three would have a reunion year.

In the Lin family and the Han family, there are only these three bachelors left.

Wan Fang is away this year and went to her mother-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year, and Mr. Wan's family only has Mr. Wan and his wife and Lin Weimin.

While eating, Mr. Wan suddenly said: "The comrades from the Dramatists Association approached me a few days ago and wanted to ask for my opinion. They plan to award you "Untouchable" for next year's Drama Awards..."

Lin Weimin raised his head, he knew that Mr. Wan hadn't finished speaking.

"Oh!" Mr. Wan sighed, "I've denied it."

"Teacher, don't worry too much, I understand." Lin Weimin comforted.

With guilt in his eyes, Mr. Wan said, "You have to understand, not only this year, but as long as the old man is still alive. You won't get this award."

The Drama Award mentioned by Mr. Wan is the National Excellent Script Creation Award established by the Chinese Dramatists Association in 1980, and the award began in 1981.

In 1994, in order to commemorate Mr. Wan's outstanding contribution to the Chinese drama industry, it was renamed after Mr. Wan, and it was sponsored by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Chinese Dramatists Association.

In the following decades, this literary award has always been the most authoritative and well-known national drama literature award, which has had a major impact on the creation and development of contemporary drama literature.

Mr. Wan is one of the judges of this award. At the same time, as the chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association, his opinion has a decisive influence on the results of the award.

"Untouchable" was performed in March 81. During the performance, it was unanimously affirmed and praised by many media and audiences. It is a rare good drama of Renyi in recent years.

If the evaluation is purely based on the quality of the drama script, it is not too difficult for "Untouchable" to win this award.

The scope of awards for script creation awards is relatively broad, with 10 official awards and 10 nomination awards each year.

What the Dramatists Association is going to present to Lin Weimin is an official award. As an excellent drama produced by Yanjing Renyi, the leader in the domestic drama industry, "Untouchable" deserves this award.

Lin Weimin smiled relaxedly, and said, "Teacher, you underestimate me too much. I can't win the drama award, but I still have the novel award. Everyone has said that next year's National Excellent Novella Award will be mine. "

Mr. Wan still had a bit of guilt in his eyes, "Oh, I've delayed you!"

"Teacher, how can you say that? You have to know how much I have taken advantage of in the name of your disciple? Not to mention anything else, without you, no matter how good my script is, it would have to go through layers of screening Talent can only be used! Now, people are begging me to write scripts."

Mr. Wan shook his head and said, "It's because you wrote the script well, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Weimin laughed and said, "I didn't say that you helped me through the back door, so don't worry about avoiding suspicion!"

Mr. Wan couldn't help laughing, pointed at him and said helplessly, "You! You!"

"hey-hey!"

Mr. Wan protects the calf and protects the calf, but he still needs to be cautious in matters such as awarding, and he must be cautious to the point of being critical.

The reason is simple. The National Excellent Screenwriting Award is a national award, but the organizer is an association. Without the constraints of public power, it is likely to become a tool for self-entertainment in the drama circle.

Once that happens, the award sucks.

What will be lost will be the credibility and influence of the entire industry, just look at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in later generations.

This year is only the second year since the National Excellent Screenwriting Award was born. He must be cautious and careful to maintain the authority and fairness of this award.

Therefore, Mr. Wan would rather wronged his students, would rather be scolded by others for fame, and would not give Lin Weimin this award.

He is the chairman of the Dramatists Association, and this gesture represents his attitude, which is consistent and consistent.

This kind of behavior seems pedantic, but it can avoid the damage of the awards to the greatest extent.

Lin Weimin had no objection to this, as he said, becoming Mr. Wan's disciple was good enough for him.

He would not feel wronged for not getting this award, let alone blame Mr. Wan.

Without his guidance on the road of creation, Lin Weimin would not have progressed so fast.

Besides, even if this award is not awarded to him ten times, the industry practitioners and audiences have a steelyard in their hearts, and Lin Weimin has an additional bonus for him.

Just like later generations often have marketing accounts that say "We all owe Master Xing a movie ticket" with rhythm.

A few years later, the entire industry and even the audience will have to say something.

"We owe Teacher Lin an award."

Thinking about it this way, it's quite exciting.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Weimin sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV with Mr. Wan and his wife. It was the recording of the annual Spring Festival Gala, and the program was lackluster.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but think of the Spring Festival Gala of future generations. Looking at it from the perspective of future generations, it was really bad!

But if it were placed 40 years ago today, it would sweep everything away.

Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala in 83, it seemed that it was about to be born. After the whole year of 82, the Spring Festival Gala came.

Lin Weimin felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

During the few days of Spring Festival holiday, Lin Weimin had a fulfilling life. He had no relatives in Yanjing, but he had many friends. He wandered around and even stopped creating.

Poor Yu Zhaohuai waited for two months in the editorial department of "Zhongshan", and Lin Weimin couldn't even produce a novella.

The page reserved for him was moved again and again, "Zhong Shan" is a bimonthly magazine, and the second issue of this year is about to be published soon.

Yu Zhaohuai couldn't wait any longer, and finally called the editorial department of "Contemporary" again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Mr. Lin, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Manuscript, don't worry, I just wish you a new year. Oh, you want to write a long story? Good, good, good, good! That's good, that's good, I'll wait for you manuscript."

Putting down the phone, Yu Zhaohuai met the editor's gaze, "What do you mean?"

Yu Zhaohuai showed a wry smile, shook his head and said, "It's said that I'm going to write a long story, and I have to wait."

"Oh, this Lin Weimin..." The editor-in-chief had a sad look on his face.

When Yu Zhaohuai said that he would ask Lin Weimin for a manuscript, he was still a little uneasy. Over the past year, Lin Weimin's reputation has grown. Thinking about it, he knows how many publications want to ask him for a manuscript every day.

Unexpectedly, after Yu Zhaohuai sent the invitation letter, Lin Weimin actually took the initiative to call the editorial department of "Zhongshan" and agreed to the invitation letter.

The editor-in-chief was very happy, not only because of Lin Weimin's request for a manuscript, but mainly because of Lin Weimin's attitude. He took the initiative to call, which proved that he was still reading "Zhong Shan".

The editor-in-chief couldn't help feeling complacent when he thought that such a popular writer published his debut novel in "Zhong Shan".

How can this be regarded as a writer trained by "Zhong Shan"?
However, as Lin Weimin's promised manuscripts bounced again and again, the editor's patience gradually wore out. He even began to doubt whether Lin Weimin wrote the work he said?
Could it be fooling them?

The editor-in-chief hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say it.

Yu Zhaohuai also saw his thoughts, and the two of them tacitly agreed, but Yu Zhaohuai firmly believed that there was no need for Lin Weimin to lie about this matter.

Just waiting makes people anxious, Yu Zhaohuai secretly groaned in his heart.

"Wait a little longer, it's never too late for a good meal."

The editor-in-chief said: "Then there is no need to save the page for the next issue. Let's wait for the next issue. It's still a long story. Hehe, I really don't know when it will be finished."

When Yu Zhaohuai heard this, he suddenly recalled the communication with Lin Weimin these few times in his mind, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The editor-in-chief gave him a surprised look, and Yu Zhaohuai learned from the experiences of these few times.

"Yes yes yes, just write a short story, good good."

"Oh, it has become a novel? Well, well, well, well."

"Want to write a long story? Okay, don't worry, don't worry."

Yu Zhaohuai's tone was obviously serious, but the editor-in-chief still couldn't help laughing, and his brows that were tightly frowned just now relaxed.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting, this Lin Weimin, haha!"

Yanjing, Guowen Society, editorial department of "Contemporary".

At the beginning of the new year, many writers visited the editorial department, and everyone gathered in the office to chat, and the room was filled with smoke and noisy.

Lin Weimin almost got smoked when he opened the door after answering the phone.

Such situations happen in the editorial department from time to time, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Lu Yao was sitting at his desk, sucking the butt of his cigarette so hard that he almost swallowed the cigarette holder.

"Don't pollute the environment here, what advice can I give you?" Lin Weimin said.

Lu Yao put the cigarette butt|butt in the ashtray, and looked at Lin Weimin, "I'm confused, there are so many studios, who do you think I will give it to? You can give me an idea!"

Lu Yao came to Yanjing yesterday, saying that he was here to discuss with Lin Weimin about the right to adapt "Life".

But Lin Weimin knew very well that this guy just wanted to come to Yanjing to enjoy a few days of good life, and then wait until the National Excellent Novella Award Ceremony in March, waiting to win the award.

Although there is no conclusion yet, both insiders and readers know that Lu Yao has won this award.

As for the right to adapt "Life", this matter has troubled Lu Yao for almost two months.

Since "Life" appeared on "Contemporary" and became popular, film studios all over the country have been contacting Lu Yao, hoping to get the film adaptation rights of "Life".

Yan Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, West Film Studio, and Changying Film Studio are all well-known film studios. They are one of the hilltops in the domestic film industry.

"I suspect you're just here to show off!" Lin Weimin said.

Liu Yin also said: "That's right, we didn't hear that you have any troubles, but it made us envious and jealous."

Lu Yao's chubby face was wrinkled with a smile, "Several teachers, of course I am happy that the novel will be adapted into a movie. The problem now is that I don't know who to give it to! I don't want to give them a reply, and I don't know who to give it to." That's not the case."

"Well, let me give you an idea."

"What's the idea?"

Lin Weimin said: "Just wait and see who gets on your doorstep, and you will hand over the right to adapt it to him."

"Ah?" Lu Yao couldn't believe it, "What's your idea?"

"Great idea. Let me ask you, what's your favorite movie adaptation?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment, "Let's restore my thoughts."

"That's right. Their film studio wants to adapt "Life" purely because it is popular now. How can you tell who really wants to make this story well, or wants to take advantage of the limelight?"

Lu Yao understood after hearing this, "This way we can see their sincerity."

"If you don't really like it, if you really want to shoot this subject, who would come to your door to find you? Just do what I say, you're right."

Liu Yin teased: "For the people, you are not afraid of people saying that Lu Yao is famous and putting on airs?"

Lin Weimin said foolishly: "They say Lu Yao, what am I afraid of?"

Lu Yao: ...
