After finishing reading, Zhu Lin closed the book and sighed.

"Zhu Lin, why don't you go eat? The food in the cafeteria is almost sold out!" A colleague walked into the room carrying a lunch box and said with a smile.

"I'm obsessed with a novel. I'll go now!" Zhu Lin put down the magazine and picked up the lunch box.

"What kind of novel is this? It's so exciting? Even our talented girl Linlin is so intoxicated by it!" a colleague joked.

Zhu Lin is indeed a literary young woman.

Later, she said in an interview that she had read all the popular literary works on the market and had collected several versions of famous foreign literary works.

"The latest novel published in People's Literature is very exciting. After reading it, I truly experienced the greatest and purest love.

“Is it that exaggerated?”

"It's real. You have to see it. It's right on my desk. It's hot and it's really wonderful."

Conversations like this one began to occur across the country, generating immeasurable excitement.

The topic discussed was all about "Under the Hawthorn Tree", and everyone wanted to read this passionate story.

"Comrade, do you still have the latest issue of People's Literature?

Just like that, a storm of literary love under the hawthorn tree is coming madly.

…

What Lin Zhengjun did not expect was that with the release of "Under the Hawthorn Tree", some different voices regarding the film project also emerged within the Beijing Film Studio.

As mentioned earlier, the Beijing Film Studio is a creative collective system. Every director has a team. If they want to start a new project, they only need to get approval from the creative collective and then report it to the studio director.

Therefore, many people only know that the project of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" has been launched, but they don't know what the specific content is.

Now, with the publication of the novel, the content of the movie has been completely exposed, so some conservative leaders have jumped out to interfere...

Today, I finally finished writing "Tai Chi Master" and "Orphan". It took me seven or eight days in total, and the efficiency is still very high.

But he is still inferior to the writer Bi Bicheng from Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, who wrote "Lush Mountain Love" in just five days in one go.

However, this is understandable.

Because "Orphan" and "Tai Chi Master" are both genre films and entertainment films, which are very novel in this era. It is also the first time for Zhou Yangguang and Liang Xiaosheng to write such scripts. It is already very good that they can finish writing them in seven or eight days.

Although Wang Yang was not the client, Lin Zhengjun wanted to show off, so he brought his two generals to Wang Yang's office to let him read the script and "give some suggestions."

“So fast!”

Upon learning that the script had been completed, Wang Yang was also surprised. He picked up the script of "Orphan" and couldn't wait to read it.

And once he saw it, he couldn't let it go.

The plot is full of conflicts and the dark undercurrent of human nature is surging. It makes people feel creepy, cold all over, and sweat pours down their backs. They can't help but tighten their clothes.

"Oh, the part about the adopted daughter falling into madness is well written. Haha. I guess the audience will suddenly realize, oh! She is so bad, it turns out she is the bastard of the devils!" He couldn't help but sigh.

"Wonderful!"

After watching it, he slapped the table and said happily: "This movie is not only scary, but also exposes the evil of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong!"

"I'll call Fu Qi and ask him to come over and take a look!"

He immediately called Fu Qi to tell him the situation and was very happy.

If "Orphan" is a success and can earn foreign exchange for the country, then I will have made a great contribution by recommending it!

"Hehe, Director Wang seems to like it very much!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yangguang laughed so hard that his mouth split to his ears!

Oh my! I have been writing for several years, and the waste manuscripts are piled up like a mountain. Now, it has finally become a movie that can earn foreign exchange!

I was really led by Lin Zhengjun!

"You can also watch "Tai Chi Master", it's also very exciting!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile after he finished the call.

"Okay! Let me see!"

Wang Yang has read so many scripts that he is about to vomit. He hasn’t felt so happy and excited watching a movie in a long time.

Half an hour later, he had just finished reading the script of Tai Chi Master and praised it sincerely: "Oh, it's well written, it makes my blood boil, it's so exciting! It's more exciting than reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels!"

Seeing this, Liang Xiaosheng felt relieved.

Director Wang Yang has a very high artistic standard and is very strict in reviewing scripts. If he says it’s okay, then there won’t be any problems with Great Wall!

Hahahaha, I finally became a screenwriter!

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Director Wang, are you interested in Jin Yong?"

"Don't underestimate us. Beijing Film Studio has its own channels. They can even get copies of internal reference films, let alone martial arts novels!" Wang Yang said with a smile.

"When will you give me a set?"

We were having a good chat.

Deputy Factory Director He Jinwen ran to Wang Yang's office angrily, carrying a copy of People's Literature. He first glanced at Lin Zhengjun and the other two with disdain: "What a crooked and evil practice!"

Lin Zhengjun glanced at Liang Xiaosheng. Who is this idiot?

Liang Xiaosheng lowered his voice and said, "The deputy factory director is in charge of party affairs and organizational personnel, not business."

Oh, those who mess with others are generally not good people. They don’t do their work and just do a lot of trivial things!

A flash of enlightenment flashed through Lin Zhengjun's mind.

He Wenjin slapped the magazine on the desk and asked unhappily, "Director Wang, I want to ask, is this the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree that we are going to shoot?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Wang Yang asked.

"You still ask me what questions do you have?"

He Wenjin said coldly: "Director Wang, look at what is written here, it is all about love between men and women, love between men and women, the style is low, and it is full of petty bourgeois sentiments!"

"What is the purpose of making movies? To educate the people and inspire them to work hard to build socialism. You invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in a movie, and this is all you get? Your political awareness is getting lower and lower!"

Wang Yang said patiently: "Deputy Director He, this is a new era, it's not the time to be afraid of talking about love. Shanghai Film Studio has already filmed "Lush Mountain Love", why can't we film a love story?"

"They made mistakes, so should we make the same mistakes?"

He Wenjin said angrily, "That movie 'Lush Mountain Love' is full of petty-bourgeois sentiments. The heroine changed dozens of sets of clothes. Doesn't this promote extravagance and hedonism? Doesn't this violate the hard-working and simple style that we have always advocated?"

“But the nature of Under the Hawthorn Tree is even more serious. It has gone even further down the wrong path!”

"Love in Mount Lushan at least promotes patriotism, but The Hawthorn Tree is all about love between a man and a woman. Where is the motherland, where are the people?"

Wang Yang asked, "Lao He, what do you mean by saying this to me?"

He Wenjin said earnestly, "Old Wang, I think this movie can't be approved at all! After filming, if it can't pass the review and can't be released, who will be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of losses? Who can bear this responsibility!"

"Deputy Director He, I think some of the things I said need to be discussed!" Lin Zhengjun had been holding back for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it any longer.

Damn it, I’ve already received the royalties, and you won’t let me shoot anymore?

Then should I return the script royalties and adaptation fees to the Beijing Film Studio?

Do you still want to expose your own Lao Gan Die series of foods?

"Which sentence is debatable?" He Wenjin glanced at him with a look of disdain.

"Every word!"

Lin Zhengjun was not afraid of him. He was not afraid of offending the entire literary and art world. If they really broke up, he would just go home and continue making canned food!
