Chapter 348 You Be the Male Lead

In late May, the first draft of the script of "The Sound of Wind" was finalized.

Zhijiang, Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe.

The troupe has just received a letter from the CCTV TV Drama Production Center, asking to second Tao Huimin to Beijing to act.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the group, and colleagues were talking about it.

Not counting the time when everyone went to Changchun Film Studio to film "Five Daughters Paying Homage" the year before last, this was the second time that Tao Huimin was seconded to act as an actor.

Last year's "Beautiful Prisoner" was also a film shot by Changchun Film Studio. It was the result of "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents" the year before.

So what's the story behind CCTV seconding Tao Huimin to film a drama this year?

Faced with the curiosity and speculation of her colleagues, Tao Huimin remained calm and just said that she knew nothing, leaving everyone guessing and becoming more confused.

Tao Huimin was one of the mainstays of the troupe, and she was going to be seconded and would be gone for several months.

She and He Saifei had always been each other's A/B roles. After she left, He Saifei's tasks became heavier, and the group leader specially talked to her and He Saifei.

Two days later, Tao Huimin happily packed her luggage and boarded the train heading north.

Having studied opera since she was young, she has developed strong independence and adaptability. After spending more than a day on the train, she was physically exhausted, but as soon as she thought of the man she was about to meet, she was filled with excitement.

Before getting off the train, she went to the sink next to the toilet to clean herself up, then she picked up her luggage and got off the train beautifully.

When she reached the exit, she saw the man she had been thinking about day and night standing there. She ran towards the man's arms with joy.

After the hug, she noticed the eyes of the people around her and struggled out of Lin Weimin's arms with a blushing face.

Lin Weimin brought her to the Crown and put her luggage into the trunk. She was still staring at the car.

“Is this your car?”

She had only heard about Lin Weimin's change of car over the phone before.

"yes!"

Tao Huimin looked around before getting into the car.

Lin Weimin got in the car, took out an exquisite watch box from the storage compartment on the right, opened it, pulled her wrist, took off the Enicar that he had given her before, and gave her the Longines watch.

The slim and exquisite Longines gold-plated watch complements her fair wrist, and Tao Huimin's face shows a bit of surprise and joy.

“This watch is so beautiful!”

"I bought it last time I went to Hong Kong. The watch I bought for you before was just average, so I'll change it to a better one this time."

Tao Huimin said sweetly: "This Enicar is also very good."

She didn't care which watch was good or bad. The most important thing was who the gift was for. What's more, the previous Enicar was the first gift Lin Weimin gave her.

She carefully placed the Enicar watch into the watch box, as it was a commemorative item.

After a few words, Lin Weimin started the car and asked, "Are you tired? We are going home to rest first, and then go out for dinner in the evening."

It is definitely not a good rest.

Having not seen each other for more than half a year, Mr. Lin wanted to give his girlfriend a thorough health check.

The result is: grown up again.

The dinner arrangements for the evening were cancelled, but Teacher Lin ate very well. Not only was he very full, he felt a little bloated, and even had to hold on to the wall when walking.

The next day, Tao Huimin had to go to the TV drama production center to meet with director Ren Hao, and Lin Weimin drove her there.

Although he really wanted to spend two more days with his girlfriend, there was nothing he could do. Work was more important and there was still a long time to come!

"Teacher Lin!"

"Is this Teacher Tao? Oh, this is exactly like Gu Xiaomeng, just like she walked out of a novel."

When they met, Ren Hao was extremely enthusiastic.

Tao Huimin felt a little embarrassed by his praise, she knew it was all for her boyfriend's face.

She quickly said that she would try her best to play the role of Gu Xiaomeng well.

"Teacher Xiao Tao has acted in two movies, so there will be no problem for him to act in one of our TV series."

After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin proposed to treat Ren Hao to a meal, and also invited screenwriter Tang Peilin, which could be regarded as a visit.

After a pleasant meal, Tao Huimin returned home and leaned her head on Lin Weimin's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Lin Weimin asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel very safe." Tao Huimin replied softly.

Teacher Lin narrowed his eyes, "Don't you know that the safest time is the most dangerous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Tao Huimin could react, he was copied.

"Ah!" Tao Huimin only had time to let out a short exclamation.

Push-ups are an exercise that requires body coordination.

First of all, your arms must be able to support your upper body, and occasionally you must be able to free up one hand to take off your clothes. This is called a one-handed push-up.

Then you have to exert force on your waist, because the gravity is too strong and the suction is strong, so you must have good waist strength. And if you do it too many times, the speed will inevitably be too fast, which is also a test of waist strength.

Then there are the lower limbs, which must be coordinated well, with rhythm and rhyme. No matter whether you do three long and one short or nine shallow and one deep, you have to hit the mark.

Otherwise, not only will you fail to do push-ups properly, but you will also feel very tired.

After finishing the front push-ups, turn over and do some hip bridges. This exercise exercises the waist and abdomen, and weight-bearing exercise is most effective.

When you push your waist and abdomen upward, you must be precise. Each thrust must be precise and not biased, otherwise it will feel empty and uncomfortable.

Finally, do a few sets of lunges and sprints. This movement was created by Teacher Lin.

After exercising for such a long time, these are the experiences I have summarized.

Accompanied by sweat and panting, this exercise entered the sprint stage.

For fitness enthusiasts, protein supplementation is very important. It can not only quickly restore physical strength, but also increase muscle mass. Teacher Tao supplements it very promptly, but Teacher Lin is a little out of stock.

My girlfriend has been in Yenching for a few days. Teacher Lin has been working hard and yawning from time to time while at work, which makes Comrade Lao Tan opposite look very sorry.

"If you're tired, go lie down on the sofa for a while." Qin Chaoyang said.

He knew that Lin Weimin had a lot of work on his hands, and he had been rushing to finish two scripts. He was yawning all the time and looked unhappy when he came to work these days. He must have written too much at night.

He is also a writer, so he naturally understands that if a writer produces too much, it will be a great test for both the body and the mind, and he must rest when it is time to rest.

"It's okay, just a little sleepy."

Lin Weimin stood up again and made a cup of tea. At this time, Tong Zhonggui walked in with the manuscript.

"Teacher Lin, I would like you to take a look at this manuscript."

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Isn't this another one of your own?"

"No, no, this is not my manuscript. I just think it's very well written, and I want you to give me some comments."

Lin Weimin took the manuscript, saw the author's name on the first page, frowned, then calmed down and continued reading.

More than half an hour later, he returned the manuscript to Tong Zhonggui.

“It’s really well written!”

Tong Zhonggui was secretly delighted when he heard his evaluation.

"What's the matter? Are you so unconfident in your own judgment?" Lin Weimin noticed Tong Zhonggui's expression and asked.

Tong Zhonggui was a little embarrassed, "A little bit."

"It's okay, it will be fine."

Tong Zhonggui nodded and was about to leave when Lin Weimin asked, "Have you contacted this author?"

"No, this is the first time I've seen his manuscript."

Lin Weimin said, "Write him a letter and tell him that his manuscript has been accepted. Also ask him if he has any other manuscripts. If so, please send them to him. This person is quite capable, so you should pay attention to him."

Tong Zhonggui had followed Lin Weimin for two years, so he naturally understood what Lin Weimin meant.

Teacher Lin never shoots without a target. If he puts his faith in an author, he will definitely be right.

At this moment, Tong Zhonggui felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment, thinking that he might have discovered a rough jade.

In early June, Yang Meng returned to Yanjing from Hong Kong.

She has already received the script of Lin Weimin's "Lover" and has found a director. The next step is to prepare for the establishment of a team.

The novel and script of "The Lover" are both set in old Shanghai, so the filming location was decided in Shanghai. Yang Meng specially contacted the Shanghai Film Studio for this purpose.

But before going to Shanghai, she specially brought the director to Yanjing to discuss the filming of the movie with Lin Weimin, and the meeting place was scheduled to be at the Yanjing Hotel.

When they met, Yang Meng first introduced the female director with short hair to Lin Weimin.

"This is Ann Hui, Director Hui. She directed the movie "To the Wrath of the Sea" that we previously produced at Bluebird.

This is Mr. Lin Weimin, the original author of "The Lover" and also the screenwriter. "

After introducing each other, Ann Hui looked at Lin Weimin, and Lin Weimin was also looking at Ann Hui.

When people talk about female directors in the Chinese film industry in later generations, Ann Hui is one person that cannot be ignored.

He has been in the film industry for decades, and although the box office performance of his works is not mentioned, the quality of his works has always been guaranteed.

This is extremely difficult for someone who has been a director for decades.

Even a great director like Zhang Yimou has "Three Shots"; Kaizi has "The Promise"; and Ku Zi has "If You Are the One", not to mention those famous directors in Hong Kong, who all had a series of setbacks in the second half of their careers.

Among Ann Hui's works, there are also a series of excellent films such as "Boat Man", "Love in a Fallen City", "A Woman at Forty", "A Man at Forty", "Days of Love in Tin Shui Wai", "Time and Tide", and "A Simple Life".

To sum up, this should be a very dedicated and talented female director.

Because of the good impression left by later generations, the conversation between Lin Weimin and Ann Hui was very smooth, which was of course his own idea.

In fact, Ann Hui felt very uncomfortable before coming.

When she finished reading the script of "The Lover", she was very happy because she had got another excellent script.

But Yang Meng then took out a part of the script, which made her feel humiliated and she questioned what Yang Meng meant.

Yang Meng then told her Lin Weimin's request, and Ann Hui was immediately speechless.

This writer is a little too arrogant!

It would be fine if you could just write a literary script, but you also have to write a storyboard script and ask the director to shoot it according to your wishes. It would be better if you could just be the director!

She finished reading the storyboard script of "The Lover" angrily and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, under Yang Meng's questioning, she had to admit it.

This writer really has something.

However, when she thought about having to make a movie according to the ideas of such people, Ann Hui still felt unhappy.

Yang Meng had no choice but to keep persuading her, and even took out another work of Lin Weimin, "Farewell My Concubine" to seduce her.

"Think about it. As long as The Lover is well made, he will most likely give us Farewell My Concubine as well.

As far as I know, this novel is selling very well in English-speaking countries now, if it can be filmed in the future.

Maybe it can win a big award abroad, and it may even be screened in countries around the world…”

Ann Hui followed Yang Meng's words and imagined that she had to admit that such a future was so beautiful.

Finally, under Yang Meng's persuasion, she chose to take over the directing baton of the movie "Lover".

Before meeting Lin Weimin, Ann Hui planned to give him a warning.

But when she met Lin Weimin in person, she forgot about this idea.

She likes to read Eileen Chang's novels, and when she writes scripts, she often fantasizes about a male protagonist like the one in Eileen Chang's novels.

Lin Weimin has a fresh and handsome appearance, the kind that makes people feel comfortable at first sight. Ann Hui then thought of the talent revealed in his works.

Such a man is simply perfect!

"Will you be the leading actor in 'The Lover'?"

While Lin Weimin was talking, Ann Hui suddenly said something.

"What?"

"I want to use you as the male lead in "The Lover." Ann Hui repeated.

Lin Weimin then laughed and said, "Director Xu, you must be joking. I'm just a screenwriter, I can't act!"

"How do you know if you don't try? You have such excellent appearance, there will definitely be no problem!"

Ann Hui's tone doesn't sound like that of a director, but more like that of a girlfriend fan who wants to help geigei get promoted.

Lin Weimin was speechless for a moment and looked at Yang Meng for help.
