1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 381 The Scourge of the Film Industry
On this day, Liang Xiaosheng came to the editorial department of "Contemporary" to look for Lin Weimin.

"Xiaosheng? Why are you here?"

"I have something to do with you."

Liang Xiaosheng sat down and took a sip of tea, and talked about his purpose for coming today.

It turned out that director Xie Tieli wanted to shoot the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions", and wanted to ask Lin Weimin if he was interested in being the screenwriter of the movie.

"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Weimin asked.

Liang Xiaosheng said: "Aren't you a consultant for CCTV's TV series? And I heard that the script writer also helped. Director Xie thinks you have experience and ability in drama creation."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I just went to get some soy sauce for CCTV's TV series, and I didn't do any specific help."

Liang Xiaosheng didn't understand what "making soy sauce" meant, but he understood the meaning of Lin Weimin's words, "But you are always a consultant."

Lin Weimin sighed: "I see, Director Xie is planning to take my toll?"

Liang Xiaosheng stopped talking and gave him a look. You said this yourself, I didn't say it.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is one of the four great masterpieces, and there are directors who want to make it, regardless of whether it is a movie or a TV series, ordinary people naturally care about it.

It's one thing to shoot well or not, but the attitude is another.

CCTV has recruited a group of experts to form an advisory committee. It is not easy to hire so many experts, and CCTV has also spent a lot of effort.

Besides, even if Xie Tieli can invite people, can he still invite more people than CCTV?In the end, there is a suspicion of picking up people's teeth.

But Xie Tieli always wanted to say something, that's why he thought of Lin Weimin, the youngest consultant in the CCTV version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Anyway, it's all about errands, and Lin Weimin's screenwriting ability is well-known, so why not invite him to be a screenwriter?

Lin Weimin knows very well that being a screenwriter for a masterpiece is definitely a thankless task.

The filming is good, the original works are good.The filming is not good, the director and screenwriter are rubbish.

He wouldn't do this kind of thing even if he was killed.

After being rejected bluntly, Liang Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Director Xie called me here because he foresaw this situation."

"He doesn't have any sincerity if he dares to love you!" Lin Weimin said briskly.

Liang Xiaosheng said: "You don't know your reputation among the directors of the Yanying Department, do you?"

Lin Weimin stopped talking.

Both Yan Ying and Xie Jin approached him to discuss the adaptation of the work before, and wanted him, the author of the original work, to be the screenwriter, but he has a script that is bigger than the director, and even a director can't stand it. Now he has a difficult reputation in Yanjing. The movie circles have spread.

At the end of last year, it was reported that he had expelled more than a dozen people from the mainland and Xiangjiang co-produced crew he had built up. The director and producer were so suppressed that they didn't dare to put a fart on it, and everyone was even more terrified.

This kind of screenwriter is simply the scourge of the film industry!
Xie Tieli asked Liang Xiaosheng to invite Lin Weimin, also with the mentality of giving it a try.

Anyway, he didn't come by himself, and the negotiation was completed. He has face as a director and can invite Lin Weimin.The conversation collapsed, it was just Liang Xiaosheng wasting his time.

Lin Weimin was speechless at Liang Xiaosheng's words, got up and said, "Then my task is completed."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Lin Weimin, "Don't leave in a hurry!"

"What else?"

"Manuscript, have you got it recently?"

"No."

"Really? Recently, the remuneration standard of our editorial department has increased a lot!" Lin Weimin said seductively.

Liang Xiaosheng's eyes were a little moved, but he had to seek truth from facts, if he didn't have it, he wouldn't.

"I'll definitely send it over when it's finished."

Lin Weimin was very satisfied with Liang Xiaosheng's attitude, and he pulled Liang Xiaosheng to chat a few more things about "Dream of Red Mansions".
-
At the beginning of April, "The Story of a Female Doctor" finally ended after half a year of filming. Lin Weimin specially invited the film crew to have a meal.

Quanjude was almost reserved by Mr. Lin, and the staff called Mr. Lin generous.

After half a year, even Xiangjiang's staff knew that Lin Weimin was rich.

During the meal, Zhang Guorong came to toast again, "Mr. Lin, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again."

He was thinking about the role of Cheng Dieyi, Lin Weimin naturally knew it, and said with a smile: "There will be a chance."

On the second day after the banquet, Xiangjiang's team left Yanjing. The post-production of "The Story of a Female Doctor" will be done on TVB. The two places have already made a broadcast plan, and both TV stations have their own broadcast plans. Time cannot be completely unified.

The broadcast is expected to be in mid-June, with a difference of no more than a week.

There is no Internet these days, and the TV station is not worried about the impact of time difference in broadcasting.

After Xiangjiang's team left, Tao Huimin also began to feel melancholy.

She is an actor seconded by CCTV. Although the filming of the previous scene was over, the film was not over, and the troupe didn't know the situation, so she took advantage of the loophole to enjoy the world of two in Yanjing for a while.

Now that the filming of the film is over, it will not be a problem to procrastinate.

So these two days, Tao Huimin was frowning.

"There is good news! There is also bad news! Which one do you want to hear?" Lin Weimin said to Tao Huimin when he returned home at night.

"What good news?" Tao Huimin looked weary. Thinking of the upcoming separation, she couldn't cheer up anything.

In the past, I didn't feel this way when I was separated from my boyfriend for half a year or a year.

"You choose good news?" Lin Weimin deliberately teased her.

Tao Huimin rolled his eyes at him, and became more and more charming, which made Teacher Lin couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson.

After some lessons, Lin Weimin said to Tao Huimin in his arms: "Director Xie Tieli is going to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions", I recommend you to audition."

""Dream of Red Mansions"? Isn't that already filmed?"

"That is the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" produced by CCTV. The one I am talking about is the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" invested and shot by Yan Film Studio."

Tao Huimin asked, "Who can I play when I go?"

"Sister Lin!"

She looked disbelieving, "Don't lie to me, how can I play Sister Lin?"

"What's the matter? You don't have confidence in yourself, but you have to have confidence in my vision!"

Tao Huimin looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"My creed in finding a girlfriend is to find a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country and the city!" Lin Weimin said flowery.

Tao Huimin looked shy after being praised by him.

After making a joke, Lin Weimin became serious, "Sister Lin is a real lady of the family. Your temperament is gentle and weak, and you are completely competent."

Tao Huimin was very unconfident after being praised by him, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she thought that she was going to audition for such an important role.

"By the way, you just said the good news, what about the bad news?" Tao Huimin asked.

"The bad news is that even if you succeed in the audition, you won't stay in Yanjing forever. Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has an investment of more than [-] million yuan, and the filming needs to be switched between several cities in China."

Tao Huimin was really disappointed when she heard the words. When she heard that she could act in "A Dream of Red Mansions", she was happiest that she could stay in Yanjing again in the name of filming, but she didn't expect this to be the case in reality.

"Don't frown like that!" Lin Weimin touched her cheek, "I won't stay in Yanjing all the time, and it's not that I won't stay in Yanjing all the time. It's just that I can't be like the previous filming of "The Story of a Female Doctor."

Lin Weimin's comfort made Tao Huimin a lot happier, and he continued: "Although I don't like Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions", this is a rare opportunity for a fledgling actor like you."

"Why don't you like Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions"?" Tao Huimin asked curiously.

"A huge production like "Dream of Red Mansions" has a natural conflict with the art form of film itself.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" is full of love, and it is also the various characters and social conditions that Cao Xueqin portrays.But the length of the movie is limited, how can it be possible to fully present the vast novel content like the sea?
Even if Director Xie could film all these contents, movies are different from TV dramas, you can watch them at home by turning on the TV, and you have to go to the cinema to watch them.For such a grand movie, no matter how short it is, it will take several releases.

In this way, the problem arises.Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of people watching movies now, it seems like it's a popular art, as long as you go to the cinema, you can watch it.

But it is precisely because of this threshold that does not look like a threshold that most of the audience who are interested in "Dream of Red Mansions" are blocked from the cinema.

In addition, it will be difficult for the audience to keep up with the release of several films. These are the problems that Yan Ying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has to face. "

After listening to Lin Weimin's words, Tao Huimin unconsciously nodded in agreement with his words, "Then according to what you said, wouldn't the TV version of "Dream of Red Mansions" have a much higher chance of success than the Yanying version?"

Lin Weimin nodded, "Not bad!"

Even though CCTV's TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was launched early, in fact, before the two different versions of "Dream of Red Mansions" were tested by the public, the volume of Yanying's version was far higher than that of the TV series.

Xie Tieli is a famous director in China. Yan Film Studio has invested more than [-] million yuan, setting a record in the domestic film industry. Even Liu Xiaoqing, who is so popular to purple, can only play Wang Xifeng in the movie. Much more interesting?
But when the "Dream of Red Mansions" movies and TV series are all presented to the audience, it has nothing to do with the art form, but the gap in communication channels, so that the two are not at the same level in terms of influence.

Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a movie after all, and it can only be released for a month or a few months, but CCTV's TV series can be rebroadcasted all the time.

At this time, a "devil laughing" cartoon Wang Fulin floated in Lin Weimin's mind, and said to Xie Tieli, "What are you fighting with me?"

After the baptism of the 2010 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", many younger audiences in later generations will be shocked to watch the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Many people have never heard of Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions". When they heard about "Dream of Red Mansions" and Yanying's version, they had never heard of it. They took it for granted that they hadn't heard of it because the film was poorly shot.

In fact, at the beginning of the broadcast, the TV series version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was really poorly evaluated. Because of the [-] episodes after the magic reform, and the plot was split, the TV series was criticized by many viewers at the beginning of the broadcast.

But after all, this TV series was filmed by CCTV and Wang Fulin with a lot of energy and painstaking efforts, and the quality is guaranteed. After the initial wave of bad reviews, as time went by, word-of-mouth was slowly reversed.

The difference between Yanying's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" and the TV series is that the word-of-mouth was very good when it was released, but once the popularity of the movie has passed, almost no one will discuss it, let alone the clumsy promotion of domestic movies. It is normal for no one to pay attention to the means of distribution after the release.

So, sometimes hard work really doesn't matter, what matters is choice.

How can you compare a movie that "finds no such person" after it is released once, to a TV series that can be replayed at any time?

The seemingly inconspicuous threshold and the narrow channel of communication determine that the Yanying version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is destined to only gain temporary popularity.

And the huge mass base of the TV series also determines the generation of classics of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions".

Reality is often so paradoxical!

There are still more than two months before the audition for Yanying's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". "The Story of a Female Doctor" has already been filmed. It is impossible for Tao Huimin to stay in Yanjing all the time. come over.

That day, Lin Weimin sent her to the train station, and Tao Huimin was reluctant to part.

"It doesn't matter if you stay for a while in the past. I may go to the United States in a while. Even if you are in Yanjing, we have to separate. You also have the key to the house. If you go back to Yanjing and I haven't come back, you Just live by yourself for a while."

Lin Weimin comforted and exhorted, Tao Huimin nodded obediently.

After Tao Huimin was sent away, Lin Weimin returned to work at the Guowen Society. It happened that Mo Yan and Zhang Yimou came to the Guowen Society together.
