Literary Master 1978

A few people chatted for a while, and the press conference was officially held. The scene was indeed as Li Hanxiang said, not ordinary, with more than a hundred reporters from China and foreign countries attending.

Some of the reporters came here for Li Hanxiang, and quite a few came at the invitation of the government.

To put it bluntly, the government is also building momentum for Li Hanxiang.

Li Hanxiang is the absolute protagonist of today's press conference, and the other actors are supporting roles. The screenwriter Lin Chaoyang's presence is probably equivalent to a supporting role.

He didn't feel disappointed at all, he just sat on the edge and watched everyone's performance quietly.

When a monk hits the clock one day and gets all the royalties, there is nothing wrong with him cooperating.

After the press conference started, Li Hanxiang seemed particularly excited. A reporter asked him about how to present the Old Summer Palace to the audience. This touched Li Hanxiang's pride, and he was spitting.

"...the former Old Summer Palace was the essence of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign architectural art, and a rare architectural complex in the world. Our movie perfectly reproduced it. It is real and can look real!"

Lao Li has spent so much effort on the movie, so it's understandable that he's a little excited.

When it was the actors' turn to be interviewed, Tony Leung Ka Fai, the leading actor, had little presence. Liu Xiaoqing was the most famous actor in the crew, so she was asked the most questions.

A reporter asked about the issue of the difference in treatment between staff in Hong Kong and Mainland China that was reported last year. Liu Xiaoqing suddenly looked embarrassed and his eyes were erratic.

Li Hanxiang stared and felt unhappy. Isn't it frustrating to ask such a question at a good press conference?

He was about to chat with reporters when Lin Chaoyang spoke first.

"Comrade reporter, there is indeed a difference in the treatment of crew members in the two places, but the rumors in the market are not credible. The old man said that we should implement one country, two systems, and our crew can be regarded as a experimental field!"

Lin Chaoyang's tone was light and humorous, and he described the differential treatment of co-productions as a model of "one country, two systems", which attracted good-natured laughter from the reporters present.

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang easily resolved the reporters' difficulties, Li Hanxiang also restrained his anger and continued to act like a great leader.

At this time, an American reporter asked Liu Xiaoqing another question, "Who do you think is the best actress in China now?"

Lin Chaoyang just spoke up to help Liu Xiaoqing, mainly because the reporter's question was largely influenced by the article Zhang Manling published in "Eight Hours Away" last year.

When the reporter asked another question, he looked at Liu Xiaoqing curiously.

This question seems easy to answer, as long as you humbly name a senior actress.

But Liu Xiaoqing's temper has always been unconventional. She paused for a few seconds and said, "It's me!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the press conference.

The reporters present never expected that Liu Xiaoqing would give such an answer, saying that she was the best actress in China. Regardless of whether this is true or not, you should be humble at least!

How arrogant and vain do you have to be to say such a thing?

The reporters' uproar lasted only a moment, and everyone became happy immediately afterwards.

Why did they come to the press conference? It's news, it's hot.

Now, isn’t this hot spot coming?

Many reporters have even thought of the title for tomorrow morning - "Liu Xiaoqing: I am the best actress in China". The more they think about it, the more excited they become. They can't wait for the press conference to end immediately and go back to catch up on the manuscript.

Lin Chaoyang was watching the show nearby and marveled at how dare these girls speak!

After the press conference, several actresses surrounded Liu Xiaoqing, and everyone complained about her remarks about Meng Lang.

Li Hanxiang was very happy. He knew that Liu Xiaoqing would definitely be scolded after saying this, but it also added heat to the news of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening Behind the Curtain" in disguise.

After the press conference, the crew arranged lunch. During the meal, Lin Chaoyang stared at Liang Jiahui again and again. Liang Jiahui felt a little unnatural when he stared at him.

"Mr. Lin, do you have any questions?"

"nothing."

Lin Chaoyang shook his head, then thought for a moment and asked Tony Leung Ka Fai another question, "Fai Zai, are you interested in making another movie in the Mainland?"

Liang Jiahui looked stunned when he heard this, and others were also surprised when they heard this.

Making a movie? Is it another co-production?

Liang Jiahui was brought to the mainland by Li Hanxiang to make movies. In a responsible manner, Li Hanxiang took the initiative to ask Lin Chaoyang: "What movie are you making?"

"My novel "The Master of Chess" is going to be adapted into a movie, and Hui Zai fits the image of the leading actor."

“Who are the investors in the movie?”

"Yanying Factory."

Li Hanxiang felt a little ridiculous, "It's not a co-production? Then how did he get to act?"

It was really out of the ordinary to have a Hong Kong native act in a movie produced by a mainland studio. Lin Chaoyang laughed at himself, "I was just asking casually. I just think Hui Zai fits the image of the male protagonist very well."

Seeing that Lin Chaoyang did not dwell on this issue anymore, Liang Jiahui did not take it seriously.

It sounds unbelievable to make a movie for a mainland film studio.

After the press conference, Li Hanxiang had to invest in the post-production of the film. The person responsible for the post-production of the film was Yan Film Studio.

A few days later, news about the "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listen to Government Behind the Curtain" press conferences were published in many domestic media.

This historical blockbuster, which cost millions of yuan, has received the attention it deserves. At the same time, the Q\u0026A session between Liu Xiaoqing and American reporters at the press conference was published truthfully, and it really caused a huge debate in China.

Liu Xiaoqing may think that her answer represents a kind of self-confidence, but in the Chinese habit of being modest, this answer undoubtedly seems very arrogant.

What's more, there are many talented actresses in China nowadays. Her peers include Zhang Jinling, Li Xiuming, Pan Hong, Zhang Yu... You can't count them with two hands. If Liu Xiaoqing says that she is "one of the best actresses in China", there will not be such a big debate.

The outside public opinion is surging, which has nothing to do with Lin Chaoyang.

In June, he completely entered a state of seclusion and began to write novels.

In the middle of the month, he received two sample books of "The Death of Van Gogh" sent by Ming Pao Publishing House. Lin Chaoyang carefully looked at the sample books.

The printing and binding quality is extremely exquisite, and the price is as high as 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 50% more expensive than most books in the Hong Kong book market today.

Lin Chaoyang was only surprised for a moment, then he figured it out. Ming Pao Publishing House is an elite publication, pursuing a high standard, and its readers are not so sensitive to prices.

"I hope there will be good sales!" Lin Chaoyang sighed.

Jin Yong is a first-class writer of martial arts novels, and he is also outstanding as a businessman, but if he is a partner, it is really hard to satisfy people.

The re-publication of "The Death of Van Gogh" in Hong Kong, the first print run is 10,000 copies, and the publisher did not even pay the advance fee, which is really a calculation to the extreme.

However, Lin Chaoyang also figured it out. He is a rookie in Hong Kong and his reputation is not big. At present, it is more important to open up his reputation.

The reader group of Ming Pao Publishing House is a high-quality group of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, which is good for his fame.

Ming Pao wants him to be cheap, and he wants Ming Pao's channels. To a certain extent, they are mutually beneficial. As for whether they can cooperate again in the future, it depends on sincerity.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and July is approaching.

These days, "Dehua" was too busy with graduation to take care of Xiao Dongdong, so Zhang Guiqin took care of the little guy.

In a blink of an eye, the little guy is more than six months old, and he is white and plump, just like the fat baby in the New Year pictures.

Whenever Zhang Guiqin looks at her grandson, she always sighs to Lin Chaoyang, "This child is blessed. It's not like you when you were young, you couldn't even eat enough sorghum and rice."

Lin Erchun pays more attention to the eyes of his eldest grandson. He admires his foresight back then. The plan to improve the variety for the old Lin family has really come true!

That evening, the little guy slept beautifully for the whole afternoon. After getting up, he was very energetic, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Lin Chaoyang came out of the study to rest. Seeing his son's cute appearance, he couldn't help but tease him, grabbing his chubby little hand and kissing him endlessly.

Perhaps it was hurt by his stubble, the little guy kept shaking his hand, but Lin Chaoyang didn't let go and kissed him tirelessly.

The little guy hummed angrily, even his little feet exerted strength, his face was flushed, Lin Chaoyang called his nickname, but he ignored it, and turned his head to the other side.

"Oh, are you angry?" Lin Chaoyang asked, holding his little hand.

Unexpectedly, the little guy had a bad temper, broke free from Lin Chaoyang's hand, and with the effect of inertia, he turned over and sat up.

Lin Chaoyang was immediately surprised and shouted: "Mom, your grandson can sit up!"

Zhang Guiqin, who was preparing dinner, heard this and ran over immediately, "Let me see!"

Xiao Dongdong, who had been lying flat for half a year, suddenly changed his perspective to see the world, and was a little scared at first.

He raised his neck with all his strength, and gestured with his hands on his chest to maintain balance. He looked left and right, gradually forgot his fear, and his eyes were full of novelty.

"Ah~ah~ah~"

You don't know what he said, anyway, you can hear that he is happy. When he smiled, crystal saliva flowed down his mouth.

Lin Chaoyang wiped his mouth and was talking to Zhang Guiqin when Tao Yushu returned home from get off work. Lin Chaoyang immediately told her the good news.

She immediately looked happy, "He is not even seven months old yet, and he has learned to sit up. My son is so smart!"

Tao Yushu hugged his son and kissed him a few times, then began to let his son lie down and sit up again and again.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the picture of the loving mother and filial son, and for some reason he thought of the monkey show on the street.

"Dongdong is really smart. He will definitely be a good student when he grows up."

Lin Chaoyang heard a familiar taste in Tao Yushu's words. After "hoping for her husband to become a dragon", Ms. Tao began to "hope for her son to become a dragon".

Lin Chaoyang looked at his son who was still ignorant of the world with pity. With such a mother who can roll up, this child's childhood is blessed!

But it's also good that Tao Yushu focuses on his son. If his son rolls up more and his father rolls up less, it will be considered that his son has fulfilled his filial piety in advance.

"Go get your camera and take a picture!" Tao Yushu told Lin Chaoyang.

The camera at home was bought by Lin Chaoyang from a trust store. It was rarely used before. Since the birth of his son, the frequency of use has increased suddenly, at least two rolls of film every month.

After dinner, the couple took their child to walk in the yard.

The biggest advantage of living in a courtyard is that the place is large. With a yard covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters, you don't need to leave the house if you want to take a walk.

Xiao Dongdong puffed out his chest in Lin Chaoyang's arms, turning his head around and looking around.

"Wang Meng came to see me today." Tao Yushu said suddenly.

"Why did Lao Wang look for you?"

Tao Yushu is the editor of "Yenjing Literature" and Wang Meng is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Yenjing Literature". This is one of the few intersections between the two of them, but Wang Meng is just a figurehead in "Yenjing Literature". Lin Chaoyang didn't think that he could have anything to do with Tao Yushu.

"He said that Zhang Guangnian wanted to transfer him to "People's Literature" as editor-in-chief, and he wanted to take me with him!"

Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised to hear this, "He will be the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature"? This span is not small!"

In addition to being the deputy editor-in-chief of "Yenjing Literature", Wang Meng is also a deputy of the Yanjing Literary Association. Although the Literary Association is not a formal government unit, according to the system, his position is equivalent to the deputy department level.

"People's Literature" is a publication under the leadership of the National Literary Association, and the editor-in-chief level is the full department level. Generally speaking, this step from deputy department to full department is also normal.

But the question is, can an ordinary deputy position of the Yenching Literary Association be compared with the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature"?

This is the first literary journal after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The first editor-in-chief is Mao Dun. The first issue was inscribed by the great man himself. It has always been a landmark publication in the domestic literary world and has witnessed the development of Chinese literature.

The word "people" in its title also represents that it is a national-level publication.

Therefore, Wang Meng's ability to serve as the editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" can be said to be a smooth official career in a sense. His later ability to serve as the Minister of Culture in the Ministry of Culture is also closely related to this career leap.

Tao Yushu said that Wang Meng wanted to take her to "People's Literature". Lin Chaoyang only thought about it for a moment and understood the reason.

In order to carry out the work smoothly, it is reasonable for the parachuted leaders to bring some of their own people.

Although Tao Yushu has only graduated for more than a year, his work results in "Yenching Literature" are outstanding.

Not only did she become familiar with the business in a very short time, but the works she published have repeatedly caused a good response in the literary world and among readers.

At the same time, her work attitude is also impeccable. Now her colleagues who are involved in the competition have to take a detour when they see her after work.

In the editorial department of "Yanjing Literature" full of lazy people, her internal competition has become a pressure for everyone, but Wang Meng's airborne landing in "People's Literature" needs such talents who can expand the territory and make progress bravely.

Lin Chaoyang joked: "It seems that Lao Wang has a good impression of you!"

Tao Yushu said helplessly: "Don't joke, I have a headache now."

"What's the headache? If you are willing to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go. The family is not counting on you to make money, we have confidence!"

"Is this the problem I am entangled with?" Tao Yushu rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and said: "I have been in the editorial department for more than a year since I graduated, and I am familiar with the work and colleagues..."

Lin Chaoyang understood that this is wanting to go to the new unit, but can't bear to leave the old comrades.

Woman, your name is greed!
