Chapter 281 Teacher Lin stood up
In late December, something happened that was closely related to Lin Weimin. The first draft of the script of "Dream of Red Mansions" had been completed, and the crew was preparing to hold another symposium.
When CCTV notified Lin Weimin, Lin Weimin helplessly told him about his current situation.
Information about the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" has always been the focus of media attention, and photos are occasionally included in the reports. It is not appropriate for Lin Weimin to appear in the newspaper at this time.
CCTV is certainly aware of the situation Lin Weimin is facing now. The waves of criticism against him from outside are getting higher and higher, but after all, he is a consultant they invited themselves.
Besides, although CCTV and China Literature Press are both in the cultural field, they are two separate supervisory agencies.
Finally, Lin Weimin came up with an idea. He asked the crew to send him the first draft of the script, and he could give his own opinions after reading it.
In the remaining days of December, Lin Weimin planned to spend all his useless energy on the first draft of this TV series.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of December. Lin Weimin sorted out the densely annotated script and put it on the desk, then stood up and stretched.
CCTV attaches great importance to "Dream of Red Mansions" and the screenwriters specially invited are also very talented and the quality of the script is very high. However, it is too difficult to adapt such a huge work into a TV drama script in such a short time, and there are still many loopholes in it.
It is really unacceptable that the story of Baoyu's journey to the Land of Illusion in Chapter 5 was cut out at the very beginning.
There are four characters written across the palace gate facing the Grand Illusion: Sea of Sin and Heaven of Love. Cao Xueqin also said at the beginning that this is a book mainly about love, so the existence of the Grand Illusion is so important to the novel "Dream of Red Mansions". However, the Grand Illusion does not exist at all in the script.
Lin Weimin speculated that there might be two most direct reasons.
One reason is the technical obstacles. But "Journey to the West" was able to shoot the Heavenly Palace scenes in CCTV's Studio No. 1, so why couldn't "Dream of Red Mansions" shoot the Land of Illusion?
Another is that the mythological stories involved in "Dream of Red Mansions" are inconsistent with current values. But this doesn't make sense either. Let's take "Journey to the West" as an example. Isn't this thing more excessive than the Taixu Illusionary Realm, Nuwa Patching the Sky, the Fairy Fairy, and the Crimson Pearl Herb in "Dream of Red Mansions"?
As one of the four great classics, Dream of Red Mansions must be the number one. Is it so shameless to be the eldest brother?
If mythological elements such as the Land of Illusion were removed, the TV version of A Dream of Red Mansions would basically be about the daily life of the four major families headed by the Jia family, which would greatly reduce its viewing and artistic value.
Lin Weimin would definitely not agree to cut out the scene of the illusory world, and he directly wrote down his opinion in the annotation.
Other characters such as Daiyu and Baochai, the ending of Tanchun marrying far away, the ending of Xiangyun, and the plot after the 80th chapter, may be because they are made up of speculation and imagination, so there are big problems in continuity. It seems to be a fragmented narrative, with a strong start but a weak end...
Lin Weimin gave his opinions one by one and filled the script.
Anyway, whether to listen or not is the crew's business, but whether to speak or not is his own business. He will prepare to send the script to CCTV tomorrow.
After resting for a while and seeing that it was already evening, Lin Weimin was about to cook something when there was a knock on the unit door.
When the door opened, Liu Yin came in first, followed by a gentle and beautiful figure behind her.
"Hui Min?" Lin Weimin shouted in surprise.
Tao Huimin looked at the man she had been thinking about day and night, her face shy. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and gave Lin Weimin a look.
Lin Weimin understood what she meant instantly, "Sister Liu, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Liu Yin waved her hand, "I won't go in. You are such a fool. You didn't even tell Xiao Tao that you moved to a new place. She is a girl. She wanted to give you a surprise after getting off the train, but there was no one at your house. I had to find your workplace and go there. Shuzhi was not feeling well, so I sent her here for you."
After listening to Liu Yin's explanation, Tao Huimin said, "This time, it's all thanks to Sister Liu!"
"Yes, yes, come in and have some hot tea and eat something before leaving!" said Lin Weimin.
"No, I have to go home and cook after work."
Liu Yin was about to walk out, and Lin Weimin said, "Then I'll see you off!"
"Goodbye, goodbye!"
Lin Weimin did not give Liu Yin a chance to refuse and walked out to see her off. The two chatted for a while. Liu Yin teased with a gossipy look on her face: "You are really good! You said you don't want to date, and you really don't want to date. But you are dating such a beautiful girl, and you hide it well!"
Lin Weimin looked very proud. This time he could hold his head high and stand up straight in the community.
"Look, with our conditions, how bad can we find a girlfriend?"
"When I say you're fat, you gasp! Let's go!"
"See you later, Sister Liu!"
After sending Liu Yin back, Tao Huimin was still standing at the door. Lin Weimin quickly stepped forward and grabbed her suitcase, "Why did you come here without telling me?"
Tao Huimin followed Lin Weimin into the house and said, "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
Lin Weimin put down the suitcase and before she could react, he hugged her in his arms, "What a surprise! I didn't even find the place!"
Feeling the long-lost atmosphere, Tao Huimin was a little intoxicated.
"I miss you!"
As she said this, her voice couldn't help but choke up.
Half a year is a long time of separation for a girl who is not yet 20 years old.
Lin Weimin sniffed the fragrance of her hair and whispered, "Me too."
After a moment of tenderness, Tao Huimin struggled out of Lin Weimin's arms and looked around curiously.
Lin Weimin had told her about the apartment building in Tuanjie Lake on the phone, but at that time he did not expect Tao Huimin to come unannounced, so he only mentioned the general place name "Tuanjie Lake" without saying the specific address.
Lin Weimin gave her a brief tour of the room and asked her about her work.
I just learned that "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents" had just finished filming a few days ago, and Tao Huimin returned to Zhijiang with the group.
During this year, the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe was either performing outside or filming movies, with almost no time for vacation or rest. The troupe decided to give the girls in the troupe a half-month vacation.
On the day of the holiday, Tao Huimin boarded a train heading north again. During this period of time, public criticism of Lin Weimin had been growing louder and louder. Every time she saw this information, she was terrified and wished she could meet Lin Weimin immediately.
Now, she finally saw it.
"It's not as scary as you think. It's just a few scoldings."
Tao Huimin's face was a little worried. "So what's going on with you now?"
"It's a protective holiday, the leader is protecting me!" Lin Weimin said with a smile.
Although he said so, Tao Huimin did not disappear the worry on her face, she just thought he was comforting herself.
Lin Weimin changed the subject and said, "It's time for dinner now. How about I treat you to a nice meal?"
Tao Huimin shook her head and said, "No, I'll do it for you."
"Just consider it a welcome for you, let's go!"
Lin Weimin pulled Tao Huimin to go out, but she refused, "Don't go outside, it's too cold. I saw there are not many restaurants around you. I'll cook for you, and save some money."
Tao Huimin had very good reasons. In the Tuanjie Lake area, apart from the nice houses, there were really no decent restaurants. The weather outside was also very cold, it was already the 29th day of the lunar calendar.
He took advantage of Tao Huimin's carelessness and kissed her on the cheek, "What a virtuous and good girl!"
Tao Huimin's face turned red due to his sudden attack. She looked at him with a reproachful look, which made her features even more charming and made Teacher Lin salivate.
Teacher Lin, I’m hungry!
Tao Huimin sternly rejected Lin Weimin's inappropriate behavior, washed her hands and went into the kitchen.
Although she is young, she has been living independently for six or seven years and is quite capable of cooking.
In order to cater to Lin Weimin's northern taste, she added more salt when cooking. After Lin Weimin took a few bites of the food, he praised it repeatedly.
She couldn't help but smile and picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth.
He frowned, it was so salty!
Although the taste of the dishes was not to their liking, it did not stop them from eating with great appetite.
This is probably the magic of love.
After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock when Tao Huimin cleaned up the dishes.
There are three bedrooms in the house. Lin Weimin lives in one, and the other two are used for readers' letters. Lin Weimin hurried to make room for Tao Huimin.
Looking at the almost full bedroom of letters from readers, Tao Huimin opened her mouth in shock, "How many letters are there?"
"I don't know. I haven't counted them. I think there should be about 100,000 or 80,000 of them." Lin Weimin answered casually.
Tao Huimin used to only know that her boyfriend was a famous writer, that he could earn a lot of royalties from writing books, and that any work he published could cause a lot of public opinion.
But today, these letters from readers in the bedroom finally made her clearly realize how popular her boyfriend is. There were more than 200,000 letters from readers in just two bedrooms.
According to Lin Weimin, the number of letters from readers in the Shichahai courtyard is more than twice that of here.
After Lin Weimin, sweating profusely, cleared a room for her and made the bed and bedding, Tao Huimin couldn't help but hug the working man from behind.
Teacher Lin was delighted. After pretending to be a serious person for a long time, the prey finally took the bait.
Turning around and hugging the elegant little white flower, with bright eyes, white teeth and eyes full of autumn water, Teacher Lin was about to drown in the little river of love.
“Don’t…”
“Don’t be like this…”
It has been more than a year since we met.
It has been more than four years since I traveled through time.
If we include the time before the time travel, forget it, it’s better not to count it, it’s too late to calculate it.
What kind of man are you if you are distracted at such a crucial moment!
That night, the lights in Teacher Lin's house went out very early.
The howling north wind outside the window was mixed with the cries of prey, but unfortunately, no one could hear it.
That night, there was wind and snow outside the window, hitting the window, making crackling sounds!
Bah, that's so rude!
Outside the curtains, the rain is trickling, and the spring is fading. My silk quilt cannot stand the cold of the fifth watch, and I am not aware that I am a guest in my dream, and I indulge in pleasure for a while.
The next day, the snow and wind cleared up.
Lin Weimin walked into the bedroom carrying the steaming meal.
Tao Huimin was too embarrassed to look at him, "Turn around, I haven't put on my clothes yet!"
There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice. It was windy and snowy last night, so he must have caught a cold.
Teacher Lin, who had taken enough advantage, now acted like a gentleman and asked people to turn around as he was told.
We have made enough profit from the benefits, so we have to leave some space for others.
He turned around only after the rustling sound died down and said softly, "Hurry up and eat."
"Why bring it inside? Just eat it in the restaurant."
Lin Weimin had a faint smile on his face, "Then I'll help you to the restaurant!"
As he spoke, he walked over and pretended to help Tao Huimin, but she pushed him away. She gave him a reproachful look, then frowned and stood up with all her strength.
Lin Weimin still put his arm around Tao Huimin's shoulders, half supporting and half hugging her as he brought her to the restaurant.
They sat opposite each other and ate, their eyes moving and full of affection.
After a heart-to-heart talk, their relationship progressed rapidly overnight.
"I have to go to CCTV to deliver a script to someone today. You stay at home in the morning and wait for me to come back." Lin Weimin said while eating.
Tao Huimin whispered "OK" in a low voice.
Wait until the man is dressed and ready to leave the house.
Tao Huimin looked at his back, feeling inexplicably reluctant.
