Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Summer dream?

Mr. Jin’s dream lover?

Who is the prototype of Xiaolongnu?

Lin Zhengjun couldn't help but feel moved.

Xia Meng is an actress of Great Wall, a leftist film company in Hong Kong. She should have some connections with the Tang family in Hong Kong. I wonder if I can contact Tang Xiaofu's parents through her.

……

The National Congress of Writers and Artists has always been of a high standard, with delegations of senior leaders attending and delivering speeches.

Mr. Deng delivered the opening speech:

"The bureaucratic style must be abandoned, and administrative orders in the field of literary creation and literary criticism must be abolished..."

"Literature and art is a spiritual labor that requires artists to give full play to their personal creativity. What to write and how to write can only be explored and gradually solved by artists in their artistic practice. In this regard, do not interfere!"

When talking about “don’t interfere”, Mr. Deng strengthened his tone, and the audience burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time!

Lin Zhengjun was also clapping hard below!

From now on, "no arbitrary interference" will be the basic principle that leaders at all levels should follow in literary and artistic work. This sentence has also become the iconic language of the Fourth National Congress of Literature and Art.

The meeting further loosened restrictions on the literary and art circles, and many people were shouting, spring is here!

Lin Zhengjun is even more convinced that not only has spring arrived in the literary and art circles, but the entire country will be filled with vitality and hope!

The leaders resigned and gave speeches one by one.

Then, Mao Dun, the chairman of the National Federation of Literary and Art Circles, gave a speech. He was 83 years old, but he was vigorous and very graceful. He would die two years later.

The general meeting was held in the morning, and in the afternoon, each association held its own small meeting.

The meeting was held in a positive and democratic atmosphere. Everyone spoke freely and held their own opinions. The discussions were lively and good news came in frequently.

Because of the special thinking characteristics of the Writers Association, the speeches at the Writers Association Conference actually attracted representatives from other associations to the Writers Association Conference, crowding the aisles, backstage, and doorway...

At the branch venue of the Film Association, Xie Tieli immediately took out the script of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" and circulated it to everyone, which made many people cry on the spot.

Xu Sangchu said to Huang Zumo, the director of "Lush Mountain Love", with great concern: "If the filming is fast, "Under the Hawthorn Tree" will be released next year, and it will probably compete with your "Lush Mountain Love"!"

Huang Zumo sighed, "What a strong enemy! Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu's expression of love is more natural, more pure and sincere..."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Director Xu, don't worry. Even if "Love in Lushan" fails, we still have "The Shepherd"!"

Xu Sangchu burst out laughing: "You are amazing, you are using Chu Kuangren to fight Chu Kuangren, right?"

We had a meeting all day, a banquet in the evening, and watched various cultural performances.

Lin Zhengjun sat in the seat of the Central Plains Province delegation, next to the Shaanxi Province delegation, and sitting next to him were Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa and others.

During the breaks in the dinner, everyone came to toast each other, it was so lively.

Xie Tieli took Jiang Huaiyan to Lin Zhengjun to toast him, and said happily: "Comrade Zhengjun, we have finished reading the script. It is very well written. We don't have many suggestions for revisions. It's just some changes to the lines. Tang Xiaofu has already started."

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission!" Lin Zhengjun drank it all in one gulp.

Xie Tieli smiled and said, "Comrade Zhengjun, we have already started recruiting actors. All units have already started making recommendations and actors have recommended themselves. After the meeting, we will start casting, and we would like to invite you and Tang Xiaofu to participate and hear your opinions..."

Jiang Huaiyan also said: "After all, the script was written by the two of you, you must have a deep understanding of the role, even deeper than the director..."

"Well... okay."

Lin Zhengjun originally regarded novels and movies as large-scale advertisements and didn't want to care about them.

But somehow, as he put more and more energy into it, Lin Zhengjun actually developed feelings for "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

It's like a child, hoping it can grow up healthily.

Lin Zhengjun also felt a little emotional.

At this time, the creative team really respected the screenwriters. It was good to be a cultured person in the 80s. You didn't have to crawl on the ground.

It’s nothing like the later generations, where screenwriters are raised by stepmothers, and actors can ask the screenwriters to change the script and even participate in the casting. What the hell do you want!

Just as Xie Tieli and Jiang Huaiyan left, Xie Jin and Xu Sangchu from Shanghai Film Studio came over with wine glasses in hand and asked with a smile, "Comrade Zhengjun, how do you think about the price of The Shepherd?"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "The adaptation fee is 2000 yuan."

Xie Jin immediately agreed: "Not expensive!"

Lin Zhengjun couldn't help but burst out laughing. Nowadays, too much importance is attached to screenwriters. This is true for both the Beijing Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Studio.

"Oh, 2000 yuan, that's more than a year's salary for me."

"Besides, I've already earned some royalties from publishing The Horse Herder in People's Literature. This money is just free money."

Next to them, Li Peifu, Zhang Yigong, Jia Pingwa and Lu Yao at the next table also looked envious.

"This is called after-sleep income, write well, brothers!"

Lin Zhengjun laughed and said, "What's the point of just envying others? You have to take action yourself and become richer than me!"

"Haha, Zhengjun's income after sleeping is quite vivid!" Everyone praised with a smile.

Xie Jin continued: "Do you want to write the script yourself? Or should I ask someone else?" He smiled and glanced at Li Jun, chairman of the Central Plains Writers Association.

Historically, the person who finally adapted the script of "The Shepherd" was Lee Joon.

However, Li Jun does not like to create scripts for others. He prefers his own original scripts.

Historically, it took Xie Jin three visits to his cottage before he persuaded Li Jun to take the initiative reluctantly.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Thank you, Director. I've read the script of Under the Hawthorn Tree. Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu wrote it very well. You might as well let them do it!"

Xie Jin also felt that "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was very well done, and said with a smile: "Comrade Zhengjun, are you willing to take charge of the script adaptation?"

"No problem. Tang Xiaofu and I will revise it together. It should be quick. The only problem is the price..."

Lin Zhengjun wants to help Tang Xiaofu improve her performance.

After producing two excellent works, Tang Xiaofu could go directly to work at the Beijing Film Studio.

These days, it is very difficult to transfer work relationships, but the essence is not that the regulations are strict, but that there are not enough jobs and no unit is willing to accept idle young people with no characteristics.

But if you are really capable and there is a company that wants to hire you, it is actually very simple. The boss can transfer you with a two-finger-wide note!

"How about two thousand yuan?" Xie Jin offered the price.

"Haha, sure, it's higher than the Beijing Film Studio!"

"You said it would cost extra!"

Xie Jin was very happy and immediately handed a large envelope full of banknotes to Lin Zhengjun. The royalties were credited to his account immediately!

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yao, Jia Pingwa, Li Peifu and Zhang Yigong who were standing next to them became envious with bloodshot eyes and almost screamed.

In just one dinner, the news that the adaptation fee and cost of "The Horse Herder" was sold for 4,000 yuan spread throughout the delegation, and Lin Zhengjun naturally became a hot young writer.
