A widower's entertainment

Chapter 32 [Birth]

Decheng, Chunfeng Lane.

Although Lin Youcheng was surprised that director Wu Tianming made his film "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" first, he didn't think it was because "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" was more suitable to be made into a movie than "Life".

He just thought that Lao Mouzi would star in Wu Tianming's "Old Well" later, and then he would win a Best Actor Award at the Tokyo Film Festival with "Old Well". Now Wu Tianming would film "Hawthorn Tree Love" first, and he didn't know about "Old Well" later. When will "Well" be filmed, and "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" should be filmed by Lao Mouzi many years later...

This butterfly flaps its wings, and I don't know how confusing it will become in the future.

Of course, this idea only flashed through Lin Youcheng's mind, because he had long known that this was a strange and strange era.

"Director Wu Tianming wanted to ask you to be a screenwriter and ask you to go to Xi'an Film Studio, but later on he found out that you still have six children to take care of, so he didn't mention it."

Dong Zhao looked at Lin Youcheng and said, "Youcheng, what do you think?"

If it were writing a script, Lin Youcheng would have no pressure.

However, writing a script is not that simple. The director has his own ideas and may need to repeatedly discuss and revise them.

This is why Wu Tianming hopes that Lin Youcheng will go to Xi'an Film Studio.

The key is that Lin Youcheng really didn't have time to go to Xi'an Studio to discuss the script with director Wu Tianming.

"Brother Dong, you have also seen that there is no way for me to get through. These children are still too young."

Lin Youcheng had thought about asking his elder brother and sister-in-law to help take care of the children, but he didn't know how long it would take to get to Xi'an Film Studio, and he didn't have one child, but six.

This is really not good. If we have to shoot with the group, it will not be ten days and a half. It is not good to bother the elder brother and sister-in-law all the time.

Dong Zhao nodded, of course he knew it. Looking at the little carrot heads in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy for Lin Youcheng's family to have no one to help him.

"Director Wu Tianming also knows about it, so he plans to let screenwriters from the film studio adapt your film "Love at the Hawthorn Tree"."

"By the way, if the movie adapts your novel, you will be paid 350 yuan."

This 350 yuan reward is the future copyright adaptation fee.

However, in fact, the price is not high, it is still a bit low.

You must know that next year the Ministry of Culture will issue regulations on various types of remuneration for feature films. For example, the remuneration standards for film and literary scripts are 1500-4000 yuan for each long feature film and 750-2000 yuan for each short feature film.

Among them, the remuneration for film and literary scripts adapted from other literary and artistic forms, including stage art films, is based on the standard 20%-30% paid to the original author, and 50%-89% paid to the adaptor.

However, at this moment, Lin Youcheng did not complain that the money given by Xi'an Film Studio was less. After all, this was considered a windfall.

To support a family, the most important thing is to open source.

Sure enough, there was still money to be made in literature in the 80s.

"Yes, I believe that director Wu Tianming will be able to successfully film the story of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"."

Lin Youcheng is not worried about director Wu Tianming's directing skills. After all, he has won the best director at foreign film festivals.

Dong Zhao heard Lin Youcheng's words and nodded and said: "Director Wu Tianming will definitely shoot your story with great care. I heard that he also cried after reading your novel and was very moved, so he wanted to shoot you first." This one.”

"I think your film "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is indeed suitable for adaptation into a movie. I just don't know who the director will find to play Jingqiu and Lao San."

"If this movie is released, it will surely touch many people."

Lin Youcheng knew in his heart that even the "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" filmed by Lao Mouzi later was quite successful and broke the box office record for literary films.

Dong Zhao is looking forward to Lin Youcheng's novel being adapted for the big screen, saying, "I'm looking forward to seeing this movie now."

"Looking forward to it as well."

Dong Zhao looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "What's your current job?" Lin Youcheng knew that Dong Zhao wanted to ask him if he was still sweeping the streets, so he said, "My job has been transferred to the publicity side. , and no longer continue to sweep the streets and do sanitation."

When Dong Zhao heard what Lin Youcheng said, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Although it is said that there is no distinction between high and low in work, if a talented writer like Lin Youcheng sweeps the streets, it is really for Dong Zhao to do literary work like this. cannot be accepted.

"That's good. My colleagues in the editorial department also care about your work and don't want you to keep sweeping the streets."

Lin Youcheng naturally understood and smiled and thanked the comrades of "Novel Monthly" magazine for their concern.

Just when Dong Zhao was about to say something, Lin Zhaole, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, woke up and started crying.

As soon as Lin Zhaole cried, Dong Zhao naturally stopped talking.

Lin Youcheng quickly went to see what was wrong with Lin Zhaole. When he saw Lin Zhaole coming again, he quickly changed Lin Zhaole's diaper.

Even if he disliked it, Lin Youcheng could only patiently change his diaper and wipe Lin Zhaole's body. His movements no longer had the initial panic, and he gradually became accustomed to it.

In other words, Lin Youcheng has become proficient.

Dong Zhao watched Lin Youcheng changing the child's diaper very skillfully. He couldn't help but sigh that Lin Youcheng was indeed a father of six children and had rich experience.

Lin Youcheng didn't know about Dong Zhao's inner sigh. Even if he knew, he could only say that he was not experienced, but talented.

You know, this is his first time raising a baby.

As for the original person, he never took care of the child at all, and always left the child to his mother.

Where does this come from? It can only be said that he has outstanding talent.

Lin Youcheng even felt that he had chosen the wrong industry before. Instead of engaging in literature, he should have opened a nursery, become a babysitter, and become a professional in the childcare industry with his outstanding talents.

If you don’t give yourself a chance, you don’t know you can take care of so many children.

Human potential is indeed forced out.

Of course, I am as tired as ever, and I feel like I want to die more than thirty times a month.

After Lin Youcheng finally finished his work, Dong Zhao looked at Lin Youcheng and asked, "Youcheng, do you have any new novel ideas?"

"..."

I knew this would definitely happen.

Lin Youcheng felt that Dong Zhao could control his heart. He asked this question at this time, and he was already very calm.

Hey, editor!

Editors all over the world are the same!
  Why come to see him and bring him good news? These are all pretentious words, but in the end, he whips out his whip and reveals his true colors.

To really come here is to come here to urge the manuscript, or in other words -

spawned.

Not long after he gave birth to his first child, he was busy urging him to have a second child.

So realistic.

Although Lin Youcheng thought this in his heart, he looked at Dong Zhao and said truthfully: "I didn't have it at the beginning, but I just had an idea before you came."
