A widower's entertainment

Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

Actually speaking, the Beijing Television Art Center has its own screenwriters, like Hoda in front of them, but it is obvious that in the eyes of Zheng Xiaolong and Huoda, Lin Youcheng, the original author, is the most suitable screenwriter, let alone Now that I heard what Lin Youcheng said, the screenwriter was naturally none other than Lin Youcheng.

Zheng Xiaolong had negotiated with Lin Youcheng about the adaptation of the drama version of "The Wind", and naturally chatted with Lin Youcheng about other things. Obviously Zheng Xiaolong admired Lin Youcheng as a writer. .

It should be said that the writer Lin Youcheng is really a famous writer in the literary world, and every work he writes is quite famous.

"My favorite is actually your movie "The Devotion of Suspect X". It's so well written. It wouldn't be bad if it was adapted into a TV series, but -"

Lin Youcheng and Huo Da present both understood what Zheng Xiaolong had not finished.

Although "The Devotion of Suspect X" is quite exciting and caused a huge sensation, it has always been controversial because of its plot.

Lin Youcheng said with a smile: "The novel "Suspect" has already been filmed by a director from Baodao."

"really?"

Zheng Xiaolong was a little surprised when he heard Lin Youcheng's words. He didn't expect that there would be a director on Baodao who wanted to film Lin Youcheng's novel.

Lin Youcheng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I praise it very much. Mr. Lao She's "Four Generations Under One Roof" is the real literary masterpiece. I dare not compare it with it."

Lin Youcheng felt that even if Zheng Xiaolong did not film his novels in the future, other TV stations would want to film his stories. Lin Youcheng was naturally not in a hurry. After all, he did not need to film the novels now. The TV series will increase the popularity of yourself and the novel after it is broadcast.

Zheng Xiaolong also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the difficulty of filming, I would really like to make all four of your stories, Mr. Lin, into a TV series."

Zheng Xiaolong shook his head and talked to Lin Youcheng about some things about the Beijing Television Art Center. Naturally, there were the difficulties of filming long dramas and other issues.

Naturally, Lin Youcheng would not talk about the industrialization of film and television dramas in the future. Within a year, there are really many dramas being filmed, but many dramas have no way to be broadcast, instead of no dramas being broadcast now.

""The Wonders of the World" is indeed well written, otherwise how could it win the Mao Dun Literature Award?"

"Actually, I think Teacher Lin's "Hawthorn Tree Love" is quite suitable to be made into a TV series."

Huo Da nodded repeatedly and agreed very much with Zheng Xiaolong, saying: "The adaptation of "The Wind" he mentioned is really good, and his views on film and television drama adaptation and filming are very professional."

"It's difficult. If it were that easy, our art center wouldn't have just one play last year."

"It will definitely get better and better in the future."

Hoda smiled and said: "Speaking of which, both "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "The Wind" have reasoning parts."

After leaving the courtyard, Zheng Xiaolong looked at Huo Da and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lin Youcheng to be so easy to deal with. The key is that he knows so much about movies and TV dramas. Today is worth it."

"Actually, I like every novel written by Teacher Lin. The one I like the most is probably "The Curious Case of the World". When I saw the end of it for the first time, I really couldn't help but cry."

"Maybe there will be opportunities for other novels in the future."

Zheng Xiaolong looked at Lin Youcheng and said: "I was deeply moved when I first read the novel "Fairy Tales of the World", but I never thought that there were stories like "The Sound of the Wind" in that novel. That’s what surprises me the most. These anti-war stories are not inferior to that of “Four Generations Under One Roof.”

Lin Youcheng had been chatting with Zheng Xiaolong and Huo Da for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Xiaolong and Huo Da had to go back to the work unit, they might have stayed with Lin Youcheng and continued chatting.

"I only heard that your novel is very popular in the island country, but I didn't expect it to be the same on the treasure island."

Lin Youcheng nodded.

When Hoda heard Lin Youcheng's words, he said: "Teacher Lin, don't be modest. This one "The Wind" is very exciting, not to mention the novels "My Captain, My Group" ”

When Zheng Xiaolong heard Huo Da mention this, he looked at Lin Youcheng and said with a smile: "You don't know, our unit also had a special discussion on which of your stories to film, and someone also suggested filming your debut film. "Hawthorn Tree Love", but in the end I chose the story "The Wind"."

Lin Youcheng smiled. He knew that the reason why Zheng Xiaolong chose "The Sound of the Wind" was not only that the story of "The Sound of the Wind" was wonderful and very popular, but also the most important reason was that "The Sound of the Wind" could be said to be mainly an indoor drama. In this way Naturally, the shooting scenes are not too difficult, and it does not require too much shooting funds. Just because it is a group portrait scene, it must have high requirements for the actors.

"Yeah, if it weren't for his unusual status, I wouldn't have dared to ask him to join our unit."

Obviously, Zheng Xiaolong is still very aware of Lin Youcheng's current status in the literary world. Although Lin Youcheng does not have a unit like the Television Art Center, he is an absolutely well-known full-time writer and can be regarded as a leader in the literary world. As a celebrity, he naturally did not dare to ask Lin Youcheng to work at the Beijing Television Art Center.

If you mention this, you won't offend anyone, but you will embarrass yourself. After all, given his status, how can he join the company and become a screenwriter.

Of course Huo Da understood what Zheng Xiaolong meant and said, "Then don't have that idea. How can a great writer come here?"

Zheng Xiaolong nodded, looked back at the courtyard where Lin Youcheng lived, and said, "That's true."

Lin Youcheng promised to write a script for the drama version of "The Wind" for the Beijing Television Art Center, and the royalties were quite high. The royalties given here were 1,400 yuan, which was naturally quite high at this time. It is also because of Lin Youcheng's identity and the fact that the novel "The Wind" is very popular. If it were adapted from another novel, it would probably cost about a thousand yuan.

This is all because Lin Youcheng's status is really extraordinary.

If it were any other ordinary writer, Zheng Xiaolong might have directly suggested asking if he was willing to work as a screenwriter at the Beijing Television Art Center, but in front of Lin Youcheng, Zheng Xiaolong would not have mentioned this.

Not to mention Lin Youcheng's popularity, his status as a winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award is quite extraordinary.

Not to mention, Zheng Xiaolong had heard that Lin Youcheng had refused to serve as editor of other literary magazines, so how could he come to the Art Center to work as a screenwriter. Lin Youcheng didn't know what Zheng Xiaolong was thinking. He just didn't expect that the Beijing Television Arts Center would come to him, and other units would come to him one after another, all wanting his piece "The Wind".

No, it's not just "The Wind", but also several of his other novels.

"Youcheng, this is Zhao Yi, the editor of China Central Radio Station, and this is Zhou Jun from Yanjing People's Art Theater. They are all here to find you."

Zhang Wei introduced these two comrades to Lin Youcheng with a smile on his face.

Obviously, when Lin Youcheng heard about this unit, he immediately knew why these two people were here.

"Writer Lin Youcheng, dear, I came here specifically to talk to you. Our radio program wants to broadcast your novel "The Wind"."

Zhao Yi, the editor of China Central Radio Station, had already read Lin Youcheng's "The Wind" and liked it very much. Now that he saw that the movie "The Wind" is so popular, he naturally hopes that the radio station can broadcast this novel.

When Lin Youcheng heard this, he naturally had no reason to refuse, because he knew very clearly that in this era, although the number of people who buy magazines is fixed, radio is indeed a novelty, and people like to listen to radio to pass the time in their free time. , sometimes a novel may be unremarkable after being published, but it may become popular all over the country through broadcasting.

For example, the first full-length program broadcast by the Central People's Broadcasting Station "Harbin at Night" caused a great sensation in the country, and that "Harbin at Night" was actually a novel with a spy war theme.

Speaking of which, in fact, China Central Radio has planned to broadcast Lin Youcheng's novel a long time ago. Now that the movie "The Wind" is so popular and so popular, China Central Radio will not delay any longer and quickly find the magazine "People's Literature" Zhang Wei from the agency asked me to help introduce him to Lin Youcheng.

Zhao Yi also did not expect that at this time, he was not the only one looking for writer Lin Youcheng, but there were also comrades from Renyi.

It can be seen how popular the writer Lin Youcheng's works are.

Zhao Yi looked at Lin Youcheng and said: "Actually, your other novels "My Commander, My Regiment", "War Meridian", and "Bright Sword" are also very suitable."

Lin Youcheng knew very well why China Central Radio chose these novels. It was also because these anti-war novels were all works with the main theme and were very suitable for radio broadcasts.

Zhou Jun from the People's Art Theater on the side also smiled and said: "I came here this time to talk to you, Writer Lin. Our People's Art Theater wants to put your "The Wind" on the stage of a drama."

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "It should have been adapted to the drama stage a long time ago. You Cheng's novel "The Wind" is actually most suitable for the drama stage. The novels are all chamber dramas, and most of them are dialogues between characters. , which is a great test of the drama actor’s skills.”

Zhang Wei is right, and it is quite appropriate to adapt the story of "The Wind" into a drama.

"Now that our Renyi actors know that they have to rehearse the play "The Wind", they are all eager to try it."

Not to mention "The Wind", the current movie has received an enthusiastic response. Liu Xiaoqing, who plays Gu Xiaomeng, is very popular. Even if there is no popular movie, many actors in Renyi can be said to be loyal readers of the writer Lin Youcheng, so naturally they are I have read the works written by Lin Youcheng, and the thrilling "The Wind" is no exception.

Not to mention, every role in the novel "The Wind" is quite challenging for the actors, and it is also an absolutely large group play, which is a test of the actors' acting skills and line skills. How can this not excite the crazy group of actors in Renyi? .

It can be said that Renyi has not talked to Lin Youcheng about adapting the drama. The news coming out of the theater has already made all the actors tempted. No matter who is faced with such a hard book as "The Wind" It can be said that they all hope to participate in the show.

You must know that there are two important heroines, Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, as well as complex characters such as Bai Xiaonian, Jin Shenghuo, and Wang Tianxiang.

Liang Jiahui, who plays Bai Xiaonian in the movie, made countless mainland audiences and industry insiders shine because of this supporting role, and they truly saw the acting ability of this actor from Hong Kong.

"Everyone of them now very much hopes to play a role in "The Wind"."

Lin Youcheng naturally knows how powerful the Yanjing People's Art Theater is. It is definitely a nationally famous professional theater and an artistic palace that countless actors aspire to. As the first art academy in China and the most prestigious professional drama theater, it has achieved a perfect integration of realism and nationalization, experience and embodiment, and the connotation of reproducing drama aesthetics, creating a famous human art performance Drama school.

Key Theater has been carefully cultivated by Guo Moruo, Lao She and Cao Lao. It has many classic plays, such as "Cai Wenji", "Teahouse", "Thunderstorm" and "Longxugou", which are absolute classics.

Lin Youcheng is also very aware that the actors in Renyi are naturally very capable, so there is no need to worry about not being able to schedule the drama "The Wind". You must know that in Renyi, the dramas are always bigger than the sky.

"I have heard the name of Renyi in Decheng. If it can be arranged into a drama by Renyi, I will naturally be very honored."

When Zhou Jun heard what Lin Youcheng said, he hurriedly said: "It is our honor to have the opportunity to stage the play "The Wind"."

Looking at Zhou Jun's attitude, Lin Youcheng felt that since he came to the capital, even in this Xinghua Hutong, he has come into contact with more and more people. The key is that everyone is quite extraordinary and can be said to be a big boss.

Whether it's the Beijing Television Art Center, China Central Radio, or the People's Art Theatre.

"Mr. Cao, he also likes your "The Wind" very much."

Lin Youcheng knew who Mr. Cao Zhou Jun was talking about, who was now the dean of the People's Arts and an absolute literary master, so he hurriedly said: "It's an honor."

Zhang Wei looked at Zhou Jun and said with a smile: "If Renyi really arranges this play, give me a ticket when the time comes. I want to watch the drama arranged by Renyi live."

Lin Youcheng nodded after listening to Zhang Wei's words and said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Lin Youcheng is also looking forward to the time when the cage in Qiuzhuang is the stage of the People's Art Theater, and what kind of sparks those actors will create on such a stage.

For some reason, Lin Youcheng suddenly thought of the word "immersion".

If Renyi really has to arrange this drama, then it is obvious that the audience will be able to be immersed in the scene, witness the thrilling fight on the spot, and feel the sound of the wind like a knife.
