1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 448 Dramatists Association

Lin Weimin nodded without hesitation, what he said couldn't be more clear, how could he not understand?
Lao Tan has already retired, and now it is a re-employment. With his resignation this time, the position of director is vacant, and he is the natural successor.

The content of the novel "Hunting" is a bit taboo, but no one can say what the reaction of the above and the general public opinion will be, and what will be the result.

After a while, if "Hunting" is published as scheduled, it will cause any adverse effects, and when I take over, it is very likely that it will be attacked and used by malicious people, and maybe the director position that I got will disappear because of this.

Although Lin Weimin didn't take the position of the Guowen Society too seriously, it was the result of his hard work and hard work after all, so he naturally didn't want this kind of problem to arise.

If "Hunting" is released later, it will be released later. When the job is available, it doesn't matter whether it is suspended or dismissed.

After all, we have been directors, haven't we?

"Then listen to you, move back a little bit."

Hearing his statement, Cheng Zaochun nodded in relief and said, "It's good that you understand this truth."

He encouraged again: "Perform well during this time, don't be too jumpy, let alone show off."

"understood."

I keep chasing after my ears every day, making me look like a troublemaker.

After Lin Weimin returned to the back building, he grabbed Tan Chaoyang, "Why didn't you tell me you were going to retire?"

Comrade Lao Tan shook off his hand, "Don't worry! It's still a few months!"

Lin Weimin said unexpectedly, "Then why did Lao Cheng talk to me about this so early?"

Comrade Lao Tan smiled slightly, his expression full of wisdom, "Don't guess what the leader is thinking!"

"To make a fool of yourself!"

Comrade Lao Tan said to him again: "Do you know what Lao Niu and the others asked me to say just now?"

"What?" Lin Weimin asked casually.

"They say, it's fair to do things for the people."

Having said that, Comrade Lao Tan patted Lin Weimin on the shoulder with a smile, and then left.

Lin Weimin's eyes flickered, what does this old man mean?
Qin Chaoyang's words really represented the aspirations of many colleagues in the Guowen Society.

Everyone wants benefits, but what everyone wants to see is the fairness of the process and results.

Lin Weimin had always had an ordinary relationship with Wang Yangchen, but recommending Wang Yangchen at the meeting was beyond everyone's expectations.

It's not that Wang Yangchen is not worth recommending, but it's that he is silent in the society, only works with his head down, and has no sense of presence in the society.

Wang Yangchen once said that he is an old scalper, and if he just concentrates on his work, it shows his temperament.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. Everyone wants the benefits, but not everyone can get them. Honors and rewards are often only concentrated on a small number of people. The more this is the case, the more we need the word fair.

Compared with those leaders and experts surrounded by flowers and applause on weekdays, Wang Yangchen is more representative of the vast number of staff of the Guowen Society.

Therefore, Lin Weimin's recommendation of him as a candidate for the Taofen Award, to a certain extent, is in line with the broadest public opinion of the Guowen Society.

This also makes Lin Weimin's reputation among the comrades even better.

When the Guowen Society was busy discussing the Taofen Publishing Award, Yanjing North Beach Courtyard No. [-].

Courtyard No. [-], North Beach, sounds similar to No. [-] Shasha North Street, where the Cultural Association is located. In fact, the two places are far apart. This is the residence of the Chinese Dramatists Association.

At this time, a heated discussion was going on in the conference room of the Dramatists Association.

This year is [-], and the selection activities for the [-]th National Opera, Opera, and Drama Excellent Script Awards have started. The scope of selection of works is the works performed in public during the two years from [-] to [-].

More than [-] operas, operas, and drama scripts from all over the country participated in the competition, and the workload of the judging committee was very heavy.

But what really made the judges of the jury scratch their heads was not the selection of awards. The National Excellent Script Award for Opera, Opera and Drama is a biennial national awards event. There has never been one award-winning work, but many.

In the most year, there were as many as [-] award-winning works in the three major categories of opera, opera, and drama. That was at the time of the first awards, which was called a pork-sharing conference.

I had no experience for the first time, and then the jury also discovered the disadvantages of this method of dividing pork.

Therefore, in the next two awards activities, the number of awards was reduced year by year. This year is the fourth award, and only [-] award-winning works have been confirmed.

Although there are still many, compared with previous years, this number is quite small, and the gold content of the awards has also increased to a certain extent.

And what the jury is scratching its head now is not the list of winners, but how to give awards.

The person who wants to give the award is none other than Lin Weimin.

In the past few years, Lin Weimin quickly rose to prominence in the domestic drama circle by virtue of writing drama scripts for people.

The Excellent Screenplay Award has been held since [-]. It is reasonable to say that this kind of awards activities will definitely not lose Lin Weimin's share. Even if Lin Weimin himself does not participate, Renyi will sign up for him.

But the problem is that Lin Weimin has a good teacher——Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan is not only the dean of the People's Art Institute, but also the chairman of the Dramatists Association.

Therefore, Lin Weimin has never been involved in the association's awards activities. Let alone winning an award, his name will never be included in the nomination list.

On this point, both parties have a tacit agreement.

Fortunately, his work has won an award abroad, and it is the highest-level drama award in the United States, the Tony Award, and the association has completely failed.

You two, master and apprentice, are very good-natured, but we were rubbed into balls!
Lin Weimin was just drawn into the association some time ago, and he was going to be awarded an award this year, but after checking, he didn't write a drama script in the past two years.

Upon hearing the news, the old comrades of the Theater Association felt as sick as swallowing a fly.

When you were not awarded a few years ago, you were prolific like a sow. This year, you are finally going to be awarded. You don’t want to write?

Sincerely do it right?
During the meeting, everyone smoked and complained helplessly.

Mr. Wan must not dare to make complaints about it, but Lin Weimin, a junior, must be read.

When the meeting resumed, everyone was frowning again.

Someone suggested: "If it doesn't work, give it "Da Ming Dynasty [-]: Jiajing and Hai Rui."

As soon as this proposal was mentioned, it was immediately rejected, "This drama Lin Weimin didn't sign at all, how can I give it to him?"

"Anyway, it's also the author of the original work. I can't give it to "The Horseman" or "Farewell My Concubine", right? Those are all works a few years ago?"

Speaking of which, the atmosphere of the meeting froze again. Everyone was so worried that they were about to throw their cigarette butts out of the sparks, but they didn't think of a good way.

At this moment, Zhong Lin, a junior in the association, said weakly, "Teachers..."

The eyes of many seniors cast their eyes on Zhong Lin, "What does Xiao Zhong think?"

Zhong Lin was stared at by everyone with a guilty conscience. Don't look at him as the secretary-general. In fact, his role in the Theater Association is equivalent to a handyman. He is usually ordered by these old guys like an animal, and he basically doesn't speak much. right.

His throat squirmed, and he said cautiously: "When I went to find Teacher Lin a while ago, I heard him talk about something..."

"The "Untouchable" he won was introduced to Broadway in the United States by Mr. Arthur Miller. Everyone knows the achievements of this play, not only won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play and Supporting Actor , and achieved gratifying results at the box office of the show..."

When Zhong Lin mentioned this, some old comrades couldn't help reminding: "Xiao Zhong, focus on the key points."

Zhong Lin panicked for a moment, then condensed what he wanted to say, and said: "Mr. Lin was invited to Broadway in the United States last year, and adapted his "The Man on the Horse" into "The Kite Runner". The performance in the United States, I heard from Mr. Lin that the results are also very good."

He stopped here, and everyone understood what he meant.

"You mean, you can give this award to Lin Weimin's adaptation of "The Kite Runner" that was performed in the United States?"

Zhong Lin nodded, "Yes."

There was a brief silence in the conference room, and everyone seemed a little confused.

"It's a bit wrong! Although the original work is written by Lin Weimin, this play was performed in the United States after all, so it shouldn't be counted in our country's awards!"

This sentence speaks to the hearts of many people.

A play performed in the United States participates in the selection of Chinese awards. According to this logic, can other foreign works also be included in the selection range?

This is pure nonsense!

"I think this is a way. No matter what, it is the work of Lin Weimin in the past two years. Although the play was performed abroad, it is written by a Chinese! Let's make an exception!"

When everyone is silent, someone expresses their agreement. This is probably the best way the Drama Association can think of.

"Well, I think everyone will vote with a show of hands!" The leader who presided over the meeting saw that no one was moving, so he said, "Raise your hand if you agree."

The leader raised his hand first, followed by Zhong Lin.

The others looked at each other, and some people raised their hands one after another.

As I said just now, this is an impossible solution.

At present, no one can find a more suitable solution than this one. What can we do if we don’t choose this solution?

The list of winners for the [-]th National Drama, Opera, and Drama Excellent Script Awards has finally been determined. A total of [-] works have been successfully released in the three categories of drama, opera, and drama.

At the end of this month, the Dramatists Association will go to Yueyang, Hunan Province to hold the [-]th National Drama, Opera and Drama Excellent Script Awards Ceremony there.

In the past few years, they were held in Yanjing, Fuzhou, and Changchun. There is no other way. These days, sponsorship is still very popular. Organizations like theater associations can only rely on the support of local governments and large state-owned enterprises to hold large-scale organizations.

Lin Weimin's name appeared among the [-] winners. As long as he wins this award, the Theater Association will feel at ease, and it doesn't matter what others say.
