Literary Master 1978

Zhang Guiqin touched it himself and said, "It's okay, maybe it was blown by the wind."

Lin Chaoyang took out a thermometer and asked her to measure her temperature. Zhang Guiqin showed reluctance, "What's there to measure?"

"Measure it as you please!"

Zhang Guiqin was forced to put on a thermometer. Five minutes later, she saw that her fever had reached 39 degrees Celsius.

"Where have you been? Why do you have such a severe fever?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a frown.

Zhang Guiqin hesitated for a while before telling the truth.

It turned out that she went back last night and took a nap first, then got up at two or three in the middle of the night and went to Wangfujing Department Store to queue up until the door opened at eight in the morning, and went in to snap up a lot.

Lin Chaoyang sighed helplessly: "Oh my God, can you save me some time? Do we need some cloth at home?"

“People say that if the authorities do this, it will be difficult to buy cotton and cloth in the future.

Am I thinking that if I buy more this time, I won’t have to worry about it in the future? "

Zhang Guiqin's thoughts represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people in this era. If you ask people in the 1980s what they were most impressed by, "snatching for supplies" would definitely be at the top of the list.

The parallelism of the dual-track system in the 1980s made people immersed in anxiety about material shortages.

Lin Chaoyang looked at his mother and sighed again, "Don't do this again. Don't worry about food at home. Just tell me if there is anything missing."

He added: "The fever is like this. Take some anti-fever medicine first. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital. Dondong, please leave it alone."

"It's okay. Even if you have a fever, you won't delay your work."

"Why don't you delay your work? Just take your medicine and lie down. There is nothing important at home."

Lin Chaoyang watched Zhang Guiqin take the medicine with a tough attitude, watched her return to the room to rest, and finally shook his head helplessly.

This is not a problem of hard work. When can we change it?

By the middle of the month, Xie Jin came to Yanjing from Shanghai and brought good news to Lin Chaoyang. The film "Garland Under the Mountain" had been completed.

The film has been in preparation since the first half of last year. In the middle of the year, the crew went to Yimeng Mountain to experience life. It was not until the second half of the year that the filming started, and they went to Yunnan for filming. The filming took more than half a year.

The filming ended in August this year, and post-production was underway.

It can be said that Xie Jin worked hard for this work. Now that the film has been produced, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The movie is finished, why don't you just stay in Shanghai and come to Yanjing?" Lin Chaoyang asked him.

"You think I want to come? I have to review the film, and I also have to go to France to attend a film festival."

The film festival Xie Jin mentioned is the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival held in Nantes, western France. This film festival was initiated by two brothers, 1 Yarradu and Philippe Yarradu.

The so-called "three continents" are Asia, Africa and Latin America. It can be seen from this name that the position of the film festival is obviously Z-school.

Xie Jin is the only Chinese director invited to this film festival, and the festival has specially arranged a screening of his films.

Xie Jin's representative works such as "Stage Sisters", "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" and "Wrangler" will all be screened during the film festival, which can be said to be a very high honor.

Xie Jin looked proud when he talked about this.

As for film review, before Xie Jin came to Yanjing, "Garland Under the Mountain" had already undergone internal review by the Shanghai Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Bureau. Both the studio leaders and the film bureau leaders gave the film a high rating. evaluation.

This time Xie Jin came to Yanjing for review by the Ministry of Culture.

"I'm going to review the film tomorrow. Come with me." Xie Jin said to Lin Chaoyang.

"What am I going to do?"

"There's nothing wrong with listening to everyone's opinions. Besides, don't you want to see the finished movie?"

When Xie Jin said this, Lin Chaoyang hesitated and said, "That's okay."

Early the next morning, Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin came to the screening room of the Film Bureau.

This time in Beijing, in addition to director Xie Jin, Xu Sangchu, the director of Shanghai Film Studio, also came. Xu Sangchu shook hands with Lin Chaoyang.

"Comrade Chaoyang, you have contributed two good books to our Shanghai Film Studio!"

"Director Xu, you're welcome."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Lin Chaoyang said hello to others present.

Before Lin Chaoyang arrived, he did not expect that the screening meeting for "Garland Under the Mountain" would be of such high standards. The Ministry of Culture sent minister Ding Qiao, Director of the National Film Administration Shi Fangyu and Film Bureau consultant Chen Bo to attend.

The army dispatched Liu Baiyu and Deputy Minister Li Ying from the Ministry of General Affairs and Culture, and the China Film Association also specially invited several authoritative figures in the cultural and film circles such as Chen Huangmei, Feng Mu and Zhong Lingpi.

Lin Chaoyang is the original author and screenwriter of "Garland Under the Mountain". Everyone present smiled when they saw him.

Feng Mu was the first heavyweight in the literary world to publicly praise the novel "Garland Under the Mountain", and he also had some friendship with Lin Chaoyang.

He said a few words to Lin Chaoyang, and then introduced him to Zhong Tangpi. Lin Chaoyang called him "Uncle Zhong," and Feng Mu asked curiously: "Where did the friendship between you two come from?"

Zhong Tangping said with a smile: "I heard our Ah Cheng mention that he and Comrade Chaoyang are good friends, and he still received the guidance of Comrade Chaoyang when he wrote novels!"

Lin Chaoyang said modestly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Ah Cheng is talented in creation."

Li Ying, deputy director of the General Political Department's Cultural Department, said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Comrade Chaoyang is also a family member to us."

Feng Mu thought she was talking about Lin Chaoyang's popular military-themed work "The Wreath Under the Mountain", and was regarded as a family member by the army.

Li Ying shook her head, "No, no!"

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Li Ying said: "The novel "The Wreath Under the Mountain" was still a little sensitive after it was written. It happened that Comrade Chaoyang had a relative with Comrade Ruolin of our Yanjing Military Region, and asked him to send it to our Ministry of Culture for review before it was published in the People's Daily."

Listening to Li Ying's explanation, Liu Baiyu and others whispered a few words. Some of these people knew Du Ruolin before, and some didn't, but now they all knew.

It turned out that Lin Chaoyang had such a relationship in the army. No wonder Lin Chaoyang's "The Wreath Under the Mountain" was published. This is something that ordinary writers can't do.

After a round of greetings, everyone sat down.

The lights in the projection room dimmed, and the beam of the projector hit the white screen. Lin Chaoyang found that Xie Jin, who was sitting next to him, had a serious expression and sat upright. It can be seen that at this moment, his heart was full of tension and anxiety.

"The Wreath Under the Mountain" was a movie he made with 120,000 enthusiasm and efforts. Although he was very confident in his creation, he was facing so many authoritative figures after all.

Even if he was a famous director, even if he had experienced the scene of film review countless times, he would inevitably be nervous.

Compared with Xie Jin's nervousness, Lin Chaoyang was much more relaxed. On the one hand, it was because he was confident in the quality of "The Wreath Under the Mountain", and on the other hand, it was because he was just a screenwriter.

My novels and scripts are so well written. If your movie is not well made, it must be the director's problem.

The 140 minutes passed quickly. With the end of the last shot of "The Wreath Under the Mountain", the picture on the screen disappeared and the lights turned on.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats. Some were sobbing, some were constantly wiping their eyes, and some were still crying silently.

Liu Baiyu stood up and shook Xie Jin's hand excitedly, saying repeatedly: "This movie is so well made! So well made!"

Feng Mu patted Lin Chaoyang's shoulder with satisfaction, "Chaoyang, the novel is well written, and the script is also good. This movie will leave a mark in the history of Chinese cinema."

The Minister of Culture Ding Qiao, who was present today, was a person who could make the final decision. He also shook Xie Jin's hand with an excited expression and praised it repeatedly.

"The Wreath Under the Mountain is a very rare and excellent film, very touching and heart-wrenching!"

With Ding Qiao's words, it can be basically declared that The Wreath Under the Mountain has successfully passed the review process, and Xie Jin's heart is relieved.

After the review meeting, he took Lin Chaoyang to go drink.

Lin Chaoyang didn't want to go, so he asked him to find Chen Huaikai and Jiang Huaiyan.

"Lao Chen is busy filming a movie, and Lao Jiang is rushing to write a script. You are the only one who has time."

"Go find Lao Cheng."

"Lao Cheng has high blood pressure recently."

"So you are just liking me, a young and strong scourge, right?"

Lin Chaoyang finally accompanied Xie Jin for a drink. During the meal, Xie Jin talked to him a lot about the filming experience of "The Wreath under the Mountain" and the various setbacks he encountered.

The movie passed the review smoothly, and Xie Jin was particularly relaxed and kept talking.

"I went to see "Behind the Curtain" the day before yesterday. Li Hanxiang shot it very well, and I heard that the box office was also very good."

"How is it? Are you stressed? A movie directed by a Hong Kong director is said to have a box office of tens of millions when it is released in the mainland."

Xie Jin laughed, "Why should I be stressed? You should be the one who is stressed. You wrote the script. If the box office is not good, it can only mean that you are not good at writing the script."

...

After staying in Yanjing for a few days, Xie Jin set off for France, and Lin Chaoyang's writing progress was also delayed by him for two days.

Old Xie has no other problems, but his hobby of drinking is too much of a waste of friends!

Lin Chaoyang had been at home for more than half a month. He had planned to go back to the library to work in the next two days, but Xiao Dongdong also had a fever.

The child was already eleven months old, and this was the first time he had a cold and fever. Lin Chaoyang and his wife had no experience and were in a hurry.

Not only Lin Chaoyang, but even Tao Yushu didn't care about going to work. She had been working for almost two years, and this was the first time she asked for leave.

After three days, Xiao Dongdong's temperature finally dropped, and the couple was exhausted physically and mentally.

Tao Yushu stood by the bed with red eyes, looking at her son's peaceful sleeping posture, and couldn't help showing a loving smile on her face.

Lin Chaoyang teased, "My son is almost one year old, and I've never seen you pay so much attention to him."

Tao Yushu rolled his eyes at him, "What do you mean I don't pay attention to him? A boy, you still want me to spoil him?"

The couple chatted for a while and were about to take a good sleep, but a guest came to the house.

"Du Rong, how come you have time to come here?"

Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised to see Du Rong. He has always had a good relationship with his colleagues, but not many of them come to his home as guests.

"Chaoyang, are you busy now? The director of the library said that he wants you to go to the library."

"What is it?"

"He said that a foreign friend came to give him books. He heard that you work in the library and wanted to meet you."

Foreign friend?
