Chapter 154: ICU also needs to pay attention to methods and approaches
Han Zhuangzhuang's admission to the People's Art Theatre went very smoothly. He was an actor at the Shanghai Film Studio and had studied at Yan Film Studio for a period of time. In addition, he had Lin Weimin's connections, and had received guidance and care from many seniors at the People's Art Theatre during this period. For him, entering the People's Art Theatre was as easy as taking candy from a sack.
On the day he received the news, Han Zhuangzhuang excitedly told Lin Weimin the news. Lin Weimin thought that his efforts were finally not in vain.
Han Zhuangzhuang has found a job and has also established connections with the fifth-generation famous directors of Yanying Class of 1978. As long as he doesn't make trouble for himself, his acting career will be smooth sailing.
Lin Weimin has finally done justice to his original deceased sister.
Han Zhuangzhuang was particularly happy that day and told Lin Weimin that he hoped to invite his classmates to his home. Lin Weimin gladly agreed.
Two days later, which was the weekend, a group of young people came to Lin Weimin's house.
Han Zhuangzhuang was in the 1980s amateur acting class of Yanying, and they graduated in July. These students originally came from all over the country, and most of them scattered all over the country after graduation. Only a few students from Yanjing came today.
In addition to classmates from the acting class, Han Zhuangzhuang also invited classmates from other departments who were familiar with him, most of whom he met during the filming of "The Courtyard".
Everyone was more or less a little restrained when they saw Lin Weimin. They were all about the same age, and Lin Weimin was even a few years younger than many of them. But he was not only the uncle of classmate Han Zhuangzhuang, but also a famous writer, so it was impossible for everyone not to be nervous.
"Come on, come on, everyone sit down."
It was a sunny morning in September and the environment in the courtyard was comfortable and cozy.
A group of young people took the bus for several stops before arriving at the Shichahai courtyard. After entering the door, Lin Weimin enthusiastically moved chairs and stools for everyone.
There were too many people coming, and there were not enough chairs and stools in Lin Weimin's house. Some people could only sit on stools, and some simply stood in the yard.
"Everyone, have some melon seeds and candies first. Don't be shy. Just treat this place as your own. It's a nice day today, so it's comfortable to sit in the yard."
Lin Weimin is a very responsible host and takes good care of everyone.
Han Zhuangzhuang bought these things this morning, and he is still buying vegetables at the market now.
"Zhuangzhuang, please share some with everyone, but don't let them be polite." Lin Weimin was referring to Tian Zhuangzhuang.
He himself was not idle either. He made tea for the students and brought a few bottles of soda. "We have tea and soda. Help yourself to what you like."
Under Lin Weimin's enthusiasm, the Yanying students gradually relaxed.
Lin Weimin and Tian Zhuangzhuang talked about the current situation of "The Courtyard". The Eastern Film Festival will be held in October. Yanjing has already sent the sample film to the Eastern Film Festival, and there will probably be feedback in less than half a month.
After a detailed chat, Lin Weimin found that Tian Zhuangzhuang had a pretty good attitude.
The filming of "The Courtyard" was a rare practical opportunity for these students who have not yet graduated. He not only learned a lot in this practice, but also absorbed a lot of lessons and experiences.
In addition, "The Courtyard" is a short film, so he was quite calm about participating in the Eastern Film Festival.
While chatting with Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lin Weimin did not forget his other classmates.
"Is this classmate Yimou?"
"Teacher Lin, you have a really good memory."
Zhang Yimou, who is in his early thirties this year, has a mature face and a deep voice. At first glance, he feels like a man in his forties or fifties.
He was already 28 years old when he was admitted to Yanying, and was admitted as an exception. After a few words of casual chatting, he talked about his experience in taking the entrance exam.
Not only is it full of twists and turns, but it is also full of inspirational struggles.
Lin Weimin sighed in his heart that no one can succeed easily.
While chatting with everyone, Lin Weimin noticed that a few students seemed a little restless, so he said, "Feel free to come in if you want, but don't touch the things in my study."
After he said that, everyone was reluctant to move at first. After a while, those who could not sit still started to move. With someone taking the lead, everyone started to move and tour the yard and the house.
At this time, Han Zhuangzhuang pushed the door open with his hands full of things, followed by several people.
"I think you are being too unreasonable. You are using my nephew as a laborer and tiring the silly boy out." Qu Xiaowei, with his empty hands, spoke up for Han Zhuangzhuang.
Lin Weimin glanced at him and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"What do you care about?" Qu Xiaowei had said before that he was going to Jinling to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Behind Qu Xiaowei were Zheng Guo and Yao Shuzhi. When they entered the yard and saw many people inside, they immediately let go of each other's hands.
"You two are so annoying!" Lin Weimin said with disgust.
"What is it to you?" Yao Shuzhi rolled her eyes at him.
After Han Zhuangzhuang put everything in the kitchen, Lin Weimin said to him, "Zhuangzhuang, come and greet your classmates. I'm going to go get busy first."
Lin Weimin invited a few friends into the kitchen, and Qu Xiaowei couldn't help but complain: "I guess I have to cook for myself when I come to your house?"
"This is called self-reliance and having enough food and clothing."
A few people started chatting and laughing as they worked. Several female students who came today also entered the kitchen to help with the work.
For their generation, cooking and doing housework are all common things.
With everyone's joint efforts, the meal was ready soon.
Plates of dishes were brought out of the kitchen and placed on two round tables under the trees in the yard.
Just when everyone was busy, a scream came from the study.
Lin Weimin asked everyone to continue with their work. He entered the study and saw that it was Li Chengru who was looking at the painting he had hung on the wall of the study.
"Teacher Lin, is this Li Keran's painting of herding cattle?" Li Chengru asked excitedly.
"Yes, it was given to me by a friend."
Li Chengru looked at Lin Weimin in shock. Was it a gift from a friend?
What kind of friend is this? Sending an authentic Li Keran painting to someone?
Li Chengru didn't think that Lin Weimin would hang a fake painting in his study.
Although it has not reached the level of "antiques from the prosperous age" at this time, Li Keran is a world-famous painter after all. His paintings were given away as a gift. The identity of this friend must be extraordinary, and his friendship with Lin Weimin is even more extraordinary.
A line of poetry suddenly popped up in Li Chengru's mind, which probably meant that there were no unlearned people among them.
Thinking of this, Li Chengru felt that the fact that he was invited to visit Lin Weimin's home today had become more upscale.
"Teacher Lin, your friend is really generous."
Hiding his thoughts in his heart, Li Chengru complimented with a smile.
Generous? I don't really feel that way, but it's true that he eats and drinks for free.
After chatting for a while, Li Chengru and Lin Weimin left the study.
The food and wine were served. Two banquet tables were set up in the yard. The host Lin Weimin did not speak, but asked Han Zhuangzhuang to say a few words.
Han Zhuangzhuang was a poor talker, and he uttered a few words, which roughly meant that everyone should eat and drink well, which caused everyone to laugh.
Li Chengru quietly sighed to Zhao Baogang beside him: "It's true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away!"
Zhao Baogang picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. "Where do you get so much emotion from?"
"Think about it, when Zhuangzhuang came to school, he was young and naive, and no one took him seriously!
What happened? She has an uncle who is a famous writer. She just graduated and got a job arranged for her, in the People's Art Theatre!
You know what? I was just wandering around Teacher Lin’s study. Guess what I saw?
"What?" Zhao Baogang asked curiously.
“Li Keran’s painting of cattle herding.”
Zhao Baogang didn't know much about painting, but he had heard of Li Keran. "That must be worth a lot of money, right?"
"Who knows? I estimate it should be around 1,800 yuan, right? But that's not the point..."
"So what's the key?"
“The key point is that this painting was given to you by Mr. Lin’s friend. Hey, can you imagine me giving you a painting by Li Keran?
What does it mean to talk and laugh with great scholars, and associate with all the common people? Just for the gifts given by this friend, and his connections..."
When Li Chengru said this, he gave Zhao Baogang a thumbs up.
While Li Chengru was talking, Zhao Baogang had not stopped picking up food. When he heard him say this, Zhao Baogang said, "That's right. Teacher Lin is famous after all. But..."
Zhao Baogang glanced at the table where Tian Zhuangzhuang and his friends were sitting. "The families of those who can enter our courtyard are not bad. People like Tian Zhuangzhuang and Cheng Kaige are from famous families, aren't they?"
Li Chengru lowered his voice, "How can they be the same? One is out of fashion, and the other is popular. Besides, the other is a writer, a man of letters. Actors are considered the lowest class anyway..."
Zhao Baogang was unhappy when he heard this, "You are such a lowly person, why are you in this line of work?"
"Nonsense, don't I have to make a living?"
Li Chengru spoke so confidently that Zhao Baogang was speechless.
If this person is shameless, you have no way to deal with him!
Today, in order to celebrate Han Zhuangzhuang's new job, Lin Weimin's house set up two tables. Han Zhuangzhuang and his classmates from the acting class sat at one table, and there were also a few students from other departments.
At the other table were Lin Weimin and several of his friends as well as several people from the "Small Courtyard" crew, including Tian Zhuangzhuang, Hou Yong, Cui Xiaoqin, Zhang Yimou and others.
In order to avoid making everyone feel embarrassed, the landlord Lin Weimin took good care of Tian Zhuangzhuang and others, and gave them topics from time to time.
As he was talking, Tian Zhuangzhuang mentioned the time when Lin Weimin was "explaining the play" to the female lead Zhu Lin during the filming of "The Courtyard", and his words were full of admiration for Lin Weimin.
When Lin Weimin heard Zhu Lin's name, his heart moved, and he pretended to ask casually: "Is your leading actress from Zhuangzhuang's class? Did she join any theater after graduation?"
"No. Zhu Lin is a latecomer. She wasn't originally in our line of work. But she's doing well now. She was transferred to Sichuan Film Studio to be an actress."
Lin Weimin felt a little disappointed. Was his dream of having a harem going to die before it even began?
He said casually: "With her acting skills, how could the company want her? It's not easy!"
Cui Xiaoqin, who was standing by, looked at Lin Weimin and felt sorry for Zhu Lin. What does "her acting skills are so bad" mean?
Although his acting skills are not excellent, they are acceptable, okay?
Do you always have to be so picky?
She couldn't help but recall the fear she felt when she was dominated by Lin Weimin's enchanting voice on the crew that day. Not to mention Zhu Lin, the person involved, even she, as a bystander, felt a lingering fear after hearing it.
Looking at Teacher Lin’s performance today, I can’t help but wonder, how could such a person do such a thing as confessing his love to a female international student on campus?
Cui Xiaoqin didn't believe it at all, but the story was so detailed that she couldn't help but believe it.
She also asked Han Zhuangzhuang. Although Han Zhuangzhuang insisted that his uncle didn't let him talk nonsense, doesn't this indirectly prove the authenticity of the rumor?
Cui Xiaoqin was a little confused for a moment. Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin, which one is the real you?
The banquet ended in great joy. All the students of Yanying got drunk, even the mature and steady Zhang Yimou was no exception.
It was the first time that everyone was treated to a dinner by a popular writer of Lin Weimin's level, and they were indeed a little excited.
After letting these people relax at home for two hours and waiting for them to get over the effects of the alcohol, Lin Weimin felt at ease to let these students leave.
After seeing everyone off, Lin Weimin patted Han Zhuangzhuang on the shoulder and said, "Spend more time with your classmates in the future. These are your connections."
The next morning, Lin Weimin went to work as usual.
As soon as I sat down in the office, Liu Yin handed me a newspaper.
"What?"
Lin Weimin took it and took a look.
Hey, old acquaintance!
Guangming Daily.
There is a review above, which is about the work "Life" published in the September issue of "Contemporary".
"…Lu Yao's Life appeared in this lively literary era, and it used the current social background as its exposition theme. The appearance of Life brought a fresh 'Northern Shaanxi style' to the literary world at that time."
Compared with its criticism of Farewell My Concubine, Guangming Daily has been full of praise for Lu Yao's Life.
Not only this one, Lin Weimin sorted out the magazines on his desk, and found that many of them had published reviews of "Life".
Most of them are newspapers, and relatively few are magazines. The latest one is a group of review articles on "Life" published in "Youth Literature", entitled "A Casual Talk on Gao Jialin in "Life", "The Inspiration of Gao Jialin's Tragedy", "A Mirror of Life", etc.
Compared with newspapers, magazines take a much longer time to publish, and the feedback on works is naturally slower.
Lin Weimin sorted out all the good reviews, cut them out and put them in an envelope, and then wrote a letter to Lu Yao, which was full of praise and encouragement.
ICU authors have to pay attention to the methods and ways of doing this. You not only have to criticize, but also praise and encourage.
Lin Weimin expressed his gratitude to Sister An Yi in his heart. Without her guidance, he would not have been able to come up with such a good idea.
Lin Weimin sealed the envelope and exclaimed, "This time, Lu Yao is really going to become famous!"
Colleagues in the editorial department attach great importance to the comments and feedback on the works in the magazine. In recent days, with the publication of "Life", comments on this work have appeared in the media one after another, and most of them are positive.
Not only that, the number of letters received by the editorial department from readers has also increased significantly, and a large proportion of them mention or praise "Life".
With these comments, everyone understands.
"Life" is popular!
Lu Yao is going to be famous too!
