Chapter 236 “Bringing disciples into the group”

Putting the classic "A Dream of Red Mansions" on the TV screen was proposed by Wang Fulin, the director of CCTV, in 1979. This idea was supported by CCTV and the red academic community.

In 1981, CCTV specially held a special meeting on the filming of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" to study the issue of adaptation.

It wasn't until this year's Spring Festival that CCTV officially established a preparatory team for the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series. The leader of the preparatory team is Wang Feng, the station director, and the standards are quite high.

Currently, CCTV is preparing a writing team and an advisory committee. If Wang Feng has his true intentions, he hopes to invite Lin Weimin to become the screenwriter of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But he knew that Lin Weimin was not only a nationally renowned writer, but also the deputy editor of "Contemporary". The deputy editor in his twenties had a bright future.

The script editing of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a very laborious and energy-consuming task, and it is impossible for Lin Weimin to spare the time.

In contrast, being a consultant involves much less energy. It basically involves holding meetings and providing various opinions on all aspects to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But there is a problem. The consultants that CCTV plans to invite are all of high seniority. It is a bit unexpected for Lin Weimin, a fresh face, to appear here.

It’s not that Wang Feng is unaware of this problem, but who gave Lin Weimin a good teacher? There seems to be nothing wrong with Mr. Wan’s “bringing disciples into the group”.

"Sister, his tone is very hurtful."

Mr. Wan snorted, "I've already agreed. Are you going to make others laugh?"

Lin Weimin secretly gave Wang Feng a finger.

There is no doubt that Mr. Wan is a dramatist, but the creation of TV drama scripts is still a very new topic for domestic dramatists. As a subdivision of drama creation, Mr. Wan's attainments in that area may also be

And Lin Weimin.

"Did you tell me that you're in? You're going to be the consultant!" Lin Weimin raised his head and asked tentatively.

"Ah? You think you're talking about the people from CCTV!" Lin Weimin looked innocent.

Wang Feng covered his mouth and snickered.

Wan Fang advised: "Mr. Lin, do you think he should not have too much burden in that matter? The expert consultant you selected for "Dream of Red Mansions" was based on age, but on Xiaojia's professional strength. You are in college

To say that someone can replace the skills in creative writing and drama creation is to tell you that, apart from the advisory group you plan to invite, there is exactly a lack of an expert who can handle both major theory and drama, especially TV dramas."

Wang Feng glared at me angrily, "Thank you for speaking for him just now. He really has a conscience."

Wan Fang smiled and said: "That's right. Without your joining, Mr. Lin, your "Dream of Red Mansions" crew will be even more powerful!"

Lin Weimin waved his hands repeatedly to show his humility.

The success of "Cliff" is the success of the original novel, but it is also the failure of the screenwriter.

When Wan Fang informed me of my work content, Lin Weimin felt a little disappointed.

Arthur Miller is a friend of Mr. Wan and an important playwright in the American theater world.

Such success is enough to prove Lin Weimin's talent and ability in the field of TV drama script creation. There are no celebrities, writers, calligraphers, historians outside the advisory group to be invited by CCTV...

The result was "Cliff" which was a huge success across the country.

If it weren’t for Lin Weimin, Mr. Wan would have to retreat that time too!

Mr. Wan stared, "Don't change the subject, you're talking about him!"

"Here we come to eat again!" Wang Feng opened the door and said to Lin Weimin.

Mr. Wan put down the newspaper on his wrist, and before I could speak, Wang Feng shouted, "Invite you to be a consultant?"

But if Mr. Wan is outside the advisory group and Lin Weimin is among them, it will be too conspicuous, and he will definitely become a thorn in the side of countless jealous adults.

Ni Shu said enviously: "Wei Min is a very busy person now."

I'm wrong. Consultant Ni Shuzhen mainly holds meetings.

I went to CCTV and took on an errand. Everything has been fine in recent months. At most, I have to wait until the screenwriting team and advisory committee are established and the screenwriters come up with a specific direction for the adaptation. It is impossible to hold meetings to discuss and put forward opinions.

and suggestions.

"……this"

Damn, you are quite reserved, Lin Weimin thought to himself.

Mr. Wan said reluctantly: "You are so timid!"

"Okay." Ni Shuzhen finally agreed.

"Senior sister, what he said is right. You came to see the teacher for no serious reason."

After leaving CCTV, Lin Weimin made a special trip to Wangfujing Bookstore.

At that time, Mr. Wan said: "It's broken, stop making trouble."

After buying the books, Lin Weimin ran to Muxidi in the evening.

Lin Weimin pondered for a long time.

Mr. Wan said: "Do you know what he said? People's words are scary. For the people, I just made a splash under the "Literary News". Now is the time to hide one's strength and bide one's time. The direction of policy and public opinion changes all the time. They

He is still young and knows those things..."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about them." Mr. Wan waved his hand and drove the two of them to the kitchen to help.

He had just finished his limelight in the "Literary Newspaper" some time ago. At that time, in his prime, he appeared outside the advisory group that gathered before the 1980s and 100s. It was really eye-catching.

"Comrade, let me give you a copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions"...yes, let me give you a set of Seven Little Classics."

I asked Lin Weimin: "Is he selfish?"

There is not an important reason that prompted Mr. Wan to quit. The student Ni Shuzhen must be on the advisory board, and the teacher Mr. Wan is among them. Some adults with dark minds are bound to spread some kind of rumors.

You continued: "So Weimin came to tell you right away. Without you here, what should I be afraid of?"

That time I came to China at the invitation of Mr. Wan, mainly because Mr. Wan wanted to retire my works for Yanjing People's Art.

The reason why Wan Fang persisted was because she was attracted by Lin Weimin's creative ability in TV drama scripts.

After exiting the room, Lin Weimin talked about business with Mr. Wan, "Teacher, CCTV is going to make a TV series called "Dream of Red Mansions" and invites you to be a consultant."

Lin Weimin laughed and said, "Senior sister, why are you so bitter after hearing what he said?"

Frankly speaking, Ren Hao's directing skills are quite satisfactory. What's rare is that he carefully implemented the content of Lin Weimin's script and did not give free play.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

Lin Weimin said without any bad intentions: "Then who can agree?"

"Wangtai, you might as well forget about the consultant matter."

Wan Fang has read the script of "Cliff". Ni Shuzhen even wrote the protagonist's clothing and accessories, the camera position and the duration of each shot very clearly. It basically required the director to put a lot of thought into it.

After thinking about it again, forget it, after all, my age and qualifications are there, I am too reserved and it becomes difficult to pretend to be a cup.

Various TV stations competed to withdraw from the broadcast, and the people loved it. Newspapers, magazines, and TV stations reported it one after another. The media that did not withdraw even called "The Cliff" "the most surmountable hill for domestic espionage-themed TV dramas within ten years."

"Teacher Lin! CCTV needs you, "Dream of Red Mansions" needs you!" Wan Fang saw that Lin Weimin had always been firm, and said in a sincere tone.

The heart of retaliation in Mr. Wan's words was understood by Guanglin Weimin and Ni Shu also understood it.

No matter how bad you have been for many years, you can still be so flirtatious!

On the contrary, he may be able to show his true strength with punches and kicks, but it is not because he is protected by others that he is immune from being slandered and slandered by adults.

"Yes, you can just say that those people from CCTV dare to create masterpieces." Lin Weimin agreed.

There was no banter between the two of us under the table, the atmosphere was very private, and Mr. Wan and his wife had happy smiles on their faces.

Lin Weimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher, you are right!"

"He..." Mr. Wan pointed at the man and suddenly had something to say.

While eating, Mr. Wan suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Arthur Miller has not determined the time for his visit. He is expected to make it last month. He will have to spare some time by then, and it won't be possible for a few days."

"

"This is a great match, Consultant Lin."

Sometimes people are more suspicious of the origins of family education and the inheritance of teachers, but if there is no one to protect them, public opinion will go too far.

Wang Feng advised at that time: "Dad, you think it's unreasonable for CCTV to invite Wei Min. The filming of "Cliff" is so bad, and Wei Min's storytelling and script skills are very good. CCTV probably didn't take a fancy to that."

I was invited at one point. "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a masterpiece or a fake, but it is also going to be made into a TV series!"

"He, he..." Mr. Wan pointed at me, his tone angry and contentious.

Mr. Wan scolded: "I have to pretend to be stupid for you. Are the consultants of "Dream of Red Mansions" so bad? His seniority is not the target of public criticism. It is how people outside the advisory group see him, but how the people inside see him.

…”

"Can he have nothing serious to do?"

Before those thoughts flashed through Mr. Wan's mind, he couldn't help scolding Lin Weimin.

A smile appeared on Lin Weimin's face, and Mr. Wan said angrily: "Originally, you were planning to withdraw from the advisory group, but you can just withdraw now."

Without me, people here would at least say a word about Mr. Wan's support of students. Lin Weimin has benefited from the teacher's glory, but after all, Lin Weimin does not have his own strong strength.

We have invited all the majors involved in "Dream of Red Mansions", but there is still one very important major missing - TV drama script creation.

The two discussed the specific preparations for the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series. Only then did Lin Weimin find out that the screenwriting team has now been established, and there is no advisory committee. CCTV has only tentatively sent out invitations to some experts. Lin Weimin is the first.

One who agreed.

That's fair!

It's been a long time, and dinner is ruined.

Teacher Xu can hug Yingying Yanyan from right to left outside Xiaoguan Garden, but you, Teacher Lin, have to accompany a bunch of old men to a meeting outside the conference room?

Of course there are no Seven Little Classics outside Lin Weimin's family, but after taking the job as a consultant for "Dream of Red Mansions", I still planned to find some sense of ritual for myself.

After all, Lin Weimin doesn't have a solid record, but Mr. Wan does.

"No, you can arrange some work then."

Third update, it’s another day that lasts forever.
Chapter completed!
