It took more than half a month to complete the scripts of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Off-the-Secret Affairs" with Li Hanxiang.

During this period, the two had many disputes over the content of the script. Li Hanxiang was completely devastated by Lin Chaoyang, and Lin Chaoyang also accommodated him and changed a lot of the content of the script.

After all, both of them are creating better scripts.

As the saying goes, they will not know each other without fighting. The two of them have developed feelings for each other in such quarrels and become close friends.

The script has been finalized, and Lin Chaoyang's work has been completed. He may briefly participate in the crew preparation and shooting stages in the future.

On the day the script was finalized, Li Hanxiang specially invited Lin Chaoyang to have a meal at Tanjiacai on the seventh floor of Yanjing Hotel.

The Tan family cuisine originated from the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. It was one of the most famous government dishes in China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Comrade Wu Hao invited him to join the catering system of the Yanjing Hotel to receive foreign guests and showcase the profound and profound Chinese food culture.

Li Hanxiang invited guests to dinner, not only Shi Kuan and Zhao Wei from the Co-production Company, but also Ding Qiao, deputy director of the Film Bureau, also came.

The above attaches great importance to Li Hanxiang's filming of movies in the mainland. Since Li Hanxiang revealed this idea in 1978, government officials have had a lot of contact with Li Hanxiang.

As the deputy director of the Film Bureau, Ding Qiao has always been an important channel for Li Hanxiang to communicate with government departments.

Today he heard about the finalization of the movie script and came to congratulate Li Hanxiang.

After two years of going back and forth, the shooting subject has changed several times, and now the script has finally been settled, which is indeed something worth celebrating.

During the meal, Ding Qiao and Li Hanxiang talked about film investment. The two studios that the Ministry of Culture found for Li Hanxiang were unable to invest in such a large-scale movie due to their own reasons. The co-production company would invest part of the investment, but they could only spend a small part, and their more important role was to match the situation.

The film fund has not been resolved yet, which is always a big problem for both parties to co-production.

"Now the script has been completed. I will go to Haojiang for a few days."

Li Hanxiang also wants to solve the investment problem as soon as possible. He has been struggling for this movie for two or three years, and it can be said that he has gone through hardships. Don’t you hope to make the movie quickly?

"Then I wish Li Daojiang a smooth trip!" Ding Qiao said.

At the end of the dinner, Li Hanxiang grabbed Lin Chaoyang and said earnestly: "In the future, we will have to accept your arrogance. The screenwriter is a screenwriter, so how can he even be a director's home..."

I wrote the script, can't I say a few words?

In front of so many people, Lin Chaoyang couldn't refute Li Hanxiang, so he could only complain in his heart.

"You are a person who has talent, but you are too arrogant. That is, you meet a director like me, a good temper..."

Do you have a good temper?

At such an old age, I don’t have a clear understanding of myself.

Seeing that Li Hanxiang was getting more and more excited, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but want to hit him: "You, I used to filming romantic movies. If you want to make orthodox historical movies, you have to change your ideas and have a pattern!"

Listening to his words, Li Hanxiang was displeased, "Why am I out of the way?"

"If you have a pattern, just focus on the trivial matters of men and women who love each other? If you have a pattern, you will specifically change the secret history of the palace?"

Li Hanxiang was so angry that he was embarrassed by Lin Chaoyang's confrontation, "What script do you know, are you a screenwriter?"

"I don't understand, you understand?"

“Ah…”

Seeing that the two of them started arguing, Ding Qiao immediately wanted to get up to dissuade him, but was pulled by Shi Kuan.

"It's okay, let them argue, it's all right."

During this period, he had long been accustomed to the style of getting along with the two. It seemed that Mars hit the Earth, but in fact, one was willing to beat the other and the other was willing to be beaten, and the other couldn't slap.

After the banquet, Ding Qiao was about to leave, Lin Chaoyang also checked out of the hotel, and Li Hanxiang sent the two downstairs.

After Ding Qiao left, Li Hanxiang looked at Lin Chaoyang and recalled the past half month of getting along, with a slightly melancholy expression.

"Chaoyang, I'll invite you to drink next time I'll come back!"

"You can't drink it." Lin Chaoyang said quietly.

Li Hanxiang stared at Lin Chaoyang, you kid really can ruin the scenery, you can pick up any pot without opening.

He has a heart problem and cannot drink alcohol.

"By the way, I'm thinking about paying the royalties for me." Lin Chaoyang added.

Li Hanxiang's good mood was ruined by his words. He was full of irritability and pushed fiercely: "Let's go! Go quickly!"

Lin Chaoyang was pushed by him and did not forget to remind him, "Don't forget!"

"roll!"

Li Hanxiang was really afraid that he would not be able to help but take action if he didn't drive this kid away.

Lin Chaoyang was driven out by him a few steps and turned around and waved at Li Hanxiang.

"Let's go, Lao Li!"

The anger on Li Hanxiang's face turned into a helpless smile. This kid really makes people love and hate!

I went home to rest for a night, and Lin Chaoyang went to work normally the next day.

After more than half a month, he appeared in the library again, which attracted the ridicule of his colleagues in the library.

Including this, this is the second time he has taken a long vacation this year. The last time he changed the script for director Xie Jin.

If this were to be worked for capitalists in later generations, Lin Chaoyang would have been fired.

It is just November, late autumn and early winter, Yan University campus is experiencing the bleakness of orange and yellow orange to the whistle and whisper of fallen leaves, adding a bit of bleakness.

The library is as lively as ever. Lin Chaoyang stayed in the library and had to get up from time to time to follow the map to find books for the students who borrowed books downstairs.

The library was much more peaceful in the afternoon, and Lin Chaoyang picked up the creation of a new novel that he had stopped to write a script.

After a flash of afternoon, I got off duty and rode my bicycle to Langrun Lake Apartment. Today is Saturday.

After entering the door, Lin Chaoyang saw Zhu Guangxian sitting there talking and laughing with Tao's father. Today, the old man seemed to be particularly energetic.

After inquiring, I found out that a major project had been completed.

Long before Hum, Zhu Guangxian had been devoted to translating classic Western aesthetics. Before Hum, he was translating the most difficult three-volume Hegel version of Aesthetics, but he had no choice but to interrupt.

After 78 years, he had no shackles on his body, and he picked up the translation of "Aesthetics" again. Until recently, he finally completed the translation of this masterpiece and handed over the translation to the Yanjing University Press.

At Zhu Guangxun's age, it is of course a gratifying and great thing to complete the translation of such a book.

Moreover, Lin Chaoyang is also very clear that in the 1980s, a new wave of aesthetics will be set off in the Chinese cultural circle. Zhu Guangxian, who is in his 80s, is also highly respected during this period as a leader in contemporary aesthetics.

During the meal, Tao's father asked Lin Chaoyang's parents when they would come to Yanjing.

Lin Chaoyang said: "It will take a few days. The old couple are worried about their family and have to arrange everything before they come."

Tao's father nodded slightly and said, "Everyone will gather together at that time."

"good."

After dinner, Tao's mother pulled Tao Yumo and told her: "Your brother-in-law and parents will come in a few days, so don't live there."

Tao Yumo said reluctantly: "I understand."

On the way home on the bike in the evening, Tao Yushu told Lin Chaoyang that he would invite Zhang Dening to dinner tomorrow.

In the past six months, Tao Yushu has published two commentary articles in "Yanjing Literature", and Zhang Dening is her editor-in-chief.

Because he wanted to treat him, Lin Chaoyang went out to buy vegetables early the next morning, and did not forget to bring Tao Yumo, the little libaer.

Early in the morning, Tao Yumo slept soundly in the quilt, but was pulled up by Lin Chaoyang, full of resentment.

After buying the food, I was trembling with coldness and kept complaining that the weather was too cold.

Tao Yushu couldn't help but mocked: "Can you still be cold after eating a lot of fat?"

Listening to his sister's words, Tao Yumo dared not speak out.

She has lived in Lin Chaoyang's home most of the past six months. She lives in the Overseas Chinese Apartment, so I won't talk about the hardware conditions of the house.

Lin Chaoyang and his wife have a small population and high income. They are never stingy in terms of food. The food standard is much higher than that of the Tao family. The most important thing is that they are not yet competed with her with the Tao brothers.

The improvement in food conditions has caused her weight to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye. She was originally a sunny girl with full vitality, but in just a few months she has become "full of energy".

"Sister, why are you doing this?"

"Where am I? You're wrong? You don't even look at how your face is round!"

Tao Yushu was not satisfied and even moved his hand, pinching the flesh on his sister's face, which felt slick.

"Oh!" Tao Yumo struggled to get rid of her claws and said angrily: "I won't eat at noon!"

"Okay, don't eat if you have backbone." Tao Yushu said indifferently.

After saying that, Tao Yumo regretted it.

In the morning, she and her brother-in-law went out to buy vegetables, and today's food was very rich.

If you don’t let me eat it, I won’t eat it? I insist on eating it, Tao Yumo muttered in his heart.

Before the guests arrived, Lin Chaoyang started working on the "desk", washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and preparing ingredients...

Just when he was busy, the phone rang at home.

Tao Yushu went out to pick up people, but after a while, she brought the guests into the house.

It was different from what I expected, and there were three people coming.

In addition to Zhang Dening mentioned by Tao Yushu, there are also Zhou Yanru and Wang Zengqi.

Zhang Dening entered the house and saw Lin Chaoyang busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. He joked: "Oh, I really didn't realize that the great writer Lin actually has such a skill."

"What are you pretending? Didn't you tell Yushu yesterday that you wanted to try the rice I made?"

Zhang Dening laughed and said, "I heard from Li Tuo. I'm just calling Lao Zhou and Lao Wang today. I tell you, our Lao Wang is a family, you can't fool us, otherwise you'll smash your own sign."

Lin Chaoyang did not take Zhang Dening's threat seriously at all, "What sign do I have?"

"Master Xunweizhai! Listen to this name, you're really a big tone."

The name "Xunweizhai" was mentioned casually when he and Li Tuo and Feng Jicai were drinking.

Li Tuo has a wide range of friends in the literary circle of Yanjing, but he didn't expect that he really exaggerated the title of "Xunweizhai".

When Lin Chaoyang thought of Li Tuo's virtue of being a "literary socialite", he couldn't help but feel a little headache. There will not be more and more friends who will ask for dinner at home in the future, right?
