Chapter 406 "Burning" published
Because of the "love letter" misunderstanding, Tao Huimin has always had complicated feelings towards He Saifei, and she believes that He Saifei feels the same way about her.
The leaders of the regiment agreed to their secondment procedures, and soon they headed north, buying sleeper tickets in the same carriage.
Along the way on the train, the two of them rarely talked to each other and the atmosphere was awkward.
The embarrassment reached its peak until the two of them got off the train and left the station.
Because Lin Weimin came to pick me up today.
Even though Lin Weimin was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw his girlfriend and He Saifei standing together.
But Teacher Lin is a respectable man after all, and he has to maintain his dignity at all times.
With a smile on his face, he took the luggage from the two people and then put it into the trunk.
After getting in the car, he said, "I'll take you two to the guesthouse first."
The movie Dream of Red Mansions is invested by Yanying Film Group and directed by the famous director Xie Tieli. The casting has just started recently and it is very popular. All media in Yanjing are reporting on it.
The guesthouse that Lin Weimin mentioned is the Yanying Guesthouse.
The selection of roles for "Dream of Red Mansions" had a wide range. Xie Tieli not only coordinated actresses of appropriate age from major domestic film studios, but also recruited outstanding actors from different opera genres such as Yue Opera, Peking Opera, and Lü Opera to come to Beijing. It was for this reason that He Saifei was called to the crew for an audition.
When we arrived at the guesthouse, it was already crowded with beautiful girls. Movie actresses and opera actresses from all over the country had gathered here.
Lin Weimin checked Tao Huimin and He Saifei in, then found the room with the word "Director" on the door and knocked on it.
"Thank you, Director. Long time no see!"
Xie Tieli was discussing something with several main creators of the crew. When he saw Lin Weimin, he stood up and shook his hand, then said with a smile, "Teacher Lin, how come you have time to come to our place?"
Lin Weimin introduced Tao Huimin and He Saifei to Xie Tieli, "I sent some friends to the guesthouse today. They want to interview for two roles in your movie."
As a director, Xie Tieli looked at photos of each actor and recognized Tao Huimin and He Saifei at a glance, but he couldn't remember their names.
"This is Xiao Tao, Tao Huimin. This is Xiao He, He Saifei." Lin Weimin introduced.
Xie Tieli smiled, "Very good. Her appearance is really outstanding. I thought she was good-looking enough when I saw the photo, and she is even better in person. Xiao Tao performed very well in the drama "Legend of a Female Doctor."
It was no secret in the Yenching literary and art circles that Lin Weimin had a girlfriend.
When the TV series "Legend of a Female Doctor" was popular some time ago, some people discussed this matter.
After seeing Tao Huimin in person today, Xie Tieli couldn't help but sigh, the young man has good taste!
After greeting Xie Tieli, Lin Weimin came out of the room with Tao Huimin and He Saifei.
"Just stay in the guesthouse and prepare for the audition these few days. After the audition, I will take you for a walk." Lin Weimin said to Tao Huimin.
With He Saifei around, Tao Huimin felt a little embarrassed and nodded awkwardly.
Seeing this, Lin Weimin left the guesthouse without saying much.
Tao Huimin and He Saifei returned to the room. The atmosphere was as awkward as ever. She took out "Dream of Red Mansions" from her bag.
Lin Weimin told her that the CCTV version of "Dream of Red Mansions" invited experts to train the actors, and the actors were very familiar with the original novel "Dream of Red Mansions" and tried their best to find the feeling of the characters in the book.
Tao Huimin was interviewing for the role of Lin Daiyu this time, and she didn't want to be outdone by others.
The next day was a working day, and Lin Weimin went to work as usual. In the afternoon, Lu Yao handed him the revised manuscript of the second part of "Ordinary World".
"The efficiency is much higher this time!" Lin Weimin praised.
Lu Yao held a cigarette in his hand and crossed his legs, looking unbridled.
"I've already written it down, so there's nothing much to change. I took the 50 or 60 yuan subsidy from the editorial department for nothing, and I feel a little embarrassed!"
When he said this, his eyebrows were beaming with joy and his tone was quite provocative.
"That fifty or sixty yuan subsidy is not even enough to cover your breakfast for a week!"
Seeing him like this, Lin Weimin couldn't help but sarcastically say so.
Lu Yao is now immune to his sarcasm and looks calm and composed. If you want to scold me, go ahead. If you say another word, I lose.
Lin Weimin had to admit that Lu Yao's Qi-cultivation skills had indeed improved significantly since "Ordinary World" was criticized overwhelmingly by critics.
If you continue like this, I guess you won’t live a long time!
"When do you plan to leave?" Lin Weimin asked.
"In a few days." Lu Yao's eyes flickered as he answered.
It goes without saying that this guy is definitely planning to have some fun in Yanjing City.
After Lu Yao left, Lin Weimin handed the manuscript of the second part of "Ordinary World" to his colleagues.
Because it was a cross-review, the review work lasted for more than a week.
After watching the second part, everyone's impressions were basically the same as the first part. This time, He Qizhi asked about the treatment of Lin Weimin's novel.
Lin Weimin’s opinion was that the article should still be published as a headline, but without the large font size.
The treatment Lu Yao was given at the beginning was, on the one hand, due to his own request, and on the other hand it was out of respect for the work "Ordinary World".
Now that the second part has been released, the specifications can be lowered appropriately.
After more than a week, Lu Yao had almost finished his stay in Yanjing. After confirming that the second part of "Ordinary World" would be published in the tenth issue in October, he left Yanjing.
At this time, Tong Zhonggui found Lin Weimin and said that he had contacted the poet that Lin Weimin asked him to find.
"Oh? How is it going? Did you get the manuscript?" Lin Weimin asked.
Tong Zhonggui shook his head. "He said he had never written a novel and had no plans to write one."
Lin Weimin pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone is a novelist. There is no one who can't write a novel, and there is no one who doesn't want to write a novel. The only difference is whether he has the opportunity..."
At this point, Lin Weimin looked at Tong Zhonggui, "Xiao Tong! Tell me, what should we do when we encounter an author like him?"
what to do?
What else can you do if no one wants to write novels?
Tong Zhonggui complained in his heart, but he knew that since Teacher Lin asked this, he must be looking forward to his answer.
When Tong Zhonggui thought of all the fancy things that Teacher Lin had done in the past when compiling manuscripts, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What should I do?
This little Tong is good in every way, except that he is a little too rigid.
Lin Weimin thought as he looked at Tong Zhonggui who was lost in thought.
After waiting for a long time, Tong Zhonggui was still in the same state. Lin Weimin could not help but remind him: "When an author writes a novel, he is either passive or active. Now that his subjective initiative is a little lacking, we have to try from another perspective."
Tong Zhonggui looked at Lin Weimin, his eyes revealing a clear sense of confusion.
He can understand active creation, but what does passive creation mean?
Lin Weimin sighed secretly, this child is too rigid!
Even after all the leader has said this, I still don’t understand.
"Just tell him that the editorial department is short of manuscripts recently, and tell him about our editorial department's remuneration standards."
Some things cannot be said too bluntly, especially since Teacher Lin is a leader now, so I can only say a few words to the point.
Tong Zhonggui nodded, "Okay!"
Lin Weimin looked at his leaving back and inexplicably missed Yu Hua.
If it was this kid just now, he would have understood what I meant a long time ago.
A few days later, Tao Huimin called Lin Weimin from the Yanying Studio Guesthouse and told him that she had gotten the role of Lin Daiyu in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Tao Huimin also said that He Saifei also got the role of Miaoyu.
Although she cannot be compared with the heroine Lin Daiyu, it is after all the work of a big director. Even someone like Chen Hong could only play a maid in it. It is very good that He Saifei was able to get a well-known role as a stepping stone to her acting career.
After the audition, Tao Huimin and other actors had a few days of free time. Lin Weimin took her on a trip to Yanjing during these days, and then she returned to Yanjing Film Studio.
Although Xie Tieli's version of A Dream of Red Mansions did not train actors two years in advance like CCTV did, at least some training was still required.
Time flies and it is September now. The September issue of "People's Literature" is on the market as scheduled.
On the day the September issue was released, countless loyal readers of People's Literature went to bookstores, mail boxes, and roadside newsstands and bought the latest issue of the magazine without hesitation.
When readers opened the magazine and saw the familiar words "Lin Weimin" in the table of contents, they all smiled knowingly.
Over the years, the name Lin Weimin has once again gained a strong appeal and influence in the hearts of readers. As long as the novel is written by Mr. Lin, it must be correct.
However, when these readers couldn't wait to open the magazine and savor the novel carefully, they gradually discovered that something was wrong.
——
Editorial office of Childhood in Shanghai.
After several years, Huang Anyi also became a senior editor in the editorial department. The "senior" of course refers to qualifications.
At noon, when Sister Lu was chatting with Huang Anyi, she mentioned the issue of blind dates again. Huang Anyi smiled but said nothing, so Sister Lu did not continue talking.
After a busy day, she only remembered the copy of People's Literature she bought in the morning when it was almost time to get off work.
She just took a quick glance at it in the morning and saw Lin Weimin's new work on it, which made her feel happy.
After returning home, Huang Anyi did not even bother to eat dinner and opened the novel published in People's Literature.
But as she read, her brows furrowed and became more and more furrowed.
In 1983, she was invited to accompany her mother to the United States to participate in the "International Writing Program" literary activities at the University of Iowa, which lasted for four months.
Huang Anyi was not very clear about this activity when she participated in it. It was not until she returned to China that she gradually understood that this so-called "International Writing Program" was mainly aimed at developing countries, and all the writers were from so-called "problem countries."
Huang Anyi lived through the 1960s and 1970s, so she always felt bitter and resentful when talking about her past experiences. However, after coming into contact with those foreign writers, she realized that it is not just China that has problems in this world, but many countries have problems too.
This trip to the United States broadened Huang Anyi's horizons. She felt more open-minded when facing many problems and no longer had the grudges she had before. It also made her feel more favorable towards Western countries like the United States.
It should be said that in the context of reform and opening up throughout the 1980s and comprehensive learning from the West, there were not many Chinese people who had no good feelings towards Western countries, and Huang Anyi's views were not uncommon.
Because of the pleasant experiences she had while traveling in the United States, she instinctively felt a little disgusted when reading the novels in the magazine. But at this moment, Lin Weimin's playful smile flashed through her mind.
She knew very well that behind that seemingly humorous and nonchalant face was Lin Weimin's extremely powerful spiritual world.
Over the years, she has carefully read every novel written by Lin Weimin. When talking about her understanding of Lin Weimin and his works, Huang Anyi does not think that anyone can understand it more thoroughly than herself.
In recent years, Huang Anyi heard about Lin Weimin's works being published overseas and that his works were being moved to Broadway.
Logically speaking, from his perspective, he should be closer to Western countries.
But the fact seems to be the opposite.
