Chapter 484 A loud slap in the face(2/2)

She said that the comrades of the county party committee specially invited her and Zhang Yimou to the county for a meeting, and stated that they would regard the management of sorghum as a political task. Not only did they specially approve 5 tons of chemical fertilizers, but they also specially summoned the leaders of Sunjiakou Township to the county.

Li'er made some instructions.

"Teacher Chaoyang, I really caused trouble for you. I didn't do this well." Having solved the big trouble, Zhang Yimou was happy and a little apologetic at the same time.

The sorghum he spent tens of thousands of yuan to grow almost went to waste and almost delayed the crew's filming. As a director, he has an unshirkable responsibility. "It's your first time as a director. It's normal for some problems to arise. Don't

If you have ideological baggage, shoot it well!"

Lin Chaoyang's encouragement made Zhang Yimou feel warm and energetic.

After solving the troubles with the crew of "Red Sorghum", Lin Chaoyang continued to write while attending classes every day. Half a month passed and the classes were almost over.

In the last class of the day in mid-June, Lin Chaoyang had nothing to say and started chatting with everyone.

The students in this Luyuan class are generally young, and many of them have obvious modernist tendencies. Xi Jinping

When talking about their creative ideas and submission experiences, these people's voices were full of resentment.

I believe that the narrative form of current novels is single and not diverse enough. When submitting articles to magazines, they are often rejected mercilessly by old editors with single-minded aesthetic tastes and old-fashioned ideas.

Listening to their complaints, Lin Chaoyang looked thoughtful.

"Everything has two sides. Singleness does not necessarily mean bad, and diversity does not necessarily mean good.

Just like someone criticizes you for not writing novels but playing with literature, you will also argue that you are seeking multiple narratives.

Critical realism is a tradition in our contemporary Chinese literature, and we cannot change this.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and criticizing each other can only turn literary creation into a boring blame game.

Whether it is Joyce, Marquez, Tolstoy or Balzac, they are all foreign monks.

What does it matter who you study?

The important thing is to be down-to-earth in creating and write good works that the people like to hear and see.

In the future, if you can leave your name in history, people will definitely remember your works. You can’t be remembered as a loyal disseminator of Marquez and magical realism in China, right? "

Lin Chaoyang said a joke at the end, which made the students burst into laughter. After laughing, some of them also thought thoughtfully.

Some words may seem like panacea, but they have completely different effects when spoken from different people's mouths.

Lin Chaoyang relied on his high-quality works to reach this stage in the literary world, so his words naturally carry special weight in the hearts of these students.

At this time, the bell rang, Lin Chaoyang's last class in Luyuan was over, and the students were a little reluctant to give up.

Teacher You Xiaoshan, who led the class, came to the stage and summarized the content and purpose of Lin Chaoyang's class. The students in the audience once again sounded the voice of learning. "This is the end of the course "Creative Practice and Research".

Why don't you take this opportunity to take a photo with Teacher Chaoyang?" You Xiaoshan said. All the students happily went downstairs, and dozens of people stood in four rows.

Lin Chaoyang and two teachers from Luyuan sat in the middle of the first row and took a group photo.

After taking a group photo, Lin Chaoyang said: "Although the course is over, our fate has just begun. You are welcome to visit my small courtyard in the future."

Hearing his invitation, the students were very happy. Someone shouted: "It's not enough to just be a guest, I have to taste your craftsmanship!"

Lin Chaoyang's cooking skills are well known in the literary world. Over the years, being able to participate in Xunweizhai's cultural salon has gradually become an honor for many writers. In front of such people, Lin Chaoyang will not say polite words.

.

He smiled and said: "We can treat you, but you people can only eat hot-boiled mutton. I can't afford to cook."

The man just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Lin Chaoyang to actually agree.

If you can ask Lin Chaoyang to treat you to a meal, let alone boiled mutton, you can also drink boiled water!

"We usually have to go to class, and it's inconvenient for you to go out to school, so let's do it on Sunday. I'll treat you to a meal." Lin Chaoyang said.

All the students immediately cheered and encouraged.

On Sunday, this batch of writer students from the Lu Academy came from the East Fourth Ring Road to Xiaoliubukou Alley in the south of West Chang'an Street.

Lin Chaoyang placed the place where he would treat guests to dinner in the west courtyard. He did not want to face the scene of messy dishes after eating in the east courtyard.

Of the more than fifty students from Lu Academy, only Yu Hua and a few others have been to Lin Chaoyang's house, but everyone is no stranger to this place.

In the words of many writers, this is the "home of authors" and the "Folk Literary Association". It is simply a paradise and happy home for writers.

After entering the courtyard, the students were not disappointed by the courtyard and facilities at Xiaoliubukou.

There is a verandah.

Entering the gate, bypassing the screen wall, the moon gate on the left is neatly decorated. There are five south rooms in the front yard. The courtyard is spacious. There is a hanging flower door in the middle on the north side. There are flower walls on both sides of the door. There are screens inside, left and right.

The crossroads in the courtyard are more than six feet wide, and there are Taihu stones, fish tanks and pomegranate trees in the courtyard...

Along the way, everyone just felt that this house was really big. It was also the first time that they had a substantive idea of ​​Lin Chaoyang's rumored "too much royalties."

They would never dare to imagine that there could be such a courtyard house in the huge city of Yanjing.

After finishing the mutton-boiled meal, these students all had their mouths full of oil and their stomachs were filled with bloating. When they left, their eyes were full of reluctance.

From now on, I will have bragging rights when I chat with others.

Lin Chaoyang treated me to dinner!

Things happened in Yanjing, and Lin Chaoyang returned to Xiangjiang.

The first news I got was that the box office of "Autumn Fairy Tale" exceeded HK$10 million in its first week of release, which can be described as a great success.

This undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of Lam Films in the Hong Kong film industry!

More than half a month ago, the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Federation suddenly issued a ban on Lam Films, which attracted a lot of attention from the Hong Kong film industry.

Not only was Lin's Pictures internally panicked, but many cooperating actors, directors and film companies began to retreat.

Fortunately, Tao Yushu used a combination of punches to appease these partners, and the effect was immediate.

The price is that a lot of profit is gained from profit sharing.

The box office of "Autumn Fairy Tale" exceeded 10 million in the first week of its release. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association. In addition to letting colleagues in Hong Kong see the strength of Lam Pictures, it also allowed them to see the potential of Hong Kong

The Nine Freedoms Association cannot cover the sky with one hand.

At least in Xiangjiang, they have the ability to bring down a company of larger size without a single word.

These colleagues also understand that the siege and suppression campaign launched by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association against Lam's Pictures may not have a big impact on Lam in the short term. After all, they do not rely on the Bay Island market. They only rely on Hong Kong

You can make money in the market, and if you include other foreign markets, you can even make huge profits.

In this way, everyone's fear of the blocking order will not be so strong.

Under the incentive policy of 20% salary increase, Lin's new films not only were not affected by the blocking order, but also became hot spots that many employees, including actors, competed for.

At this time, the decision made by Lin Chaoyang and his wife to spend money was revealed.

Assuming that they did not make the decision to "increase the quality" as soon as the ban order was issued more than half a month ago, once the ban order aroused everyone's scruples, hesitations and worries, it would cause problems for Lin's new film production.

At that time, it is very likely that a chain reaction will be formed, and the future of Lin's Pictures will be difficult to predict.

But now, on the contrary, if there is the first person who dares to break the restrictions of the blocking order driven by interests, then there will be the second and the third... Under such circumstances, the law does not punish everyone, and Hong Kong and Kowloon are free.

The Federation's banning order will slowly become a piece of waste paper.

Such a result would probably be a major blow to their prestige.

"I promised Shaw Brothers to give them 20% of the investment share in "Parasite"," Tao Yushu said to Lin Chaoyang.

Shaw Brothers has closed down, but it has stopped operating a large studio system and has reduced its scale. However, the theater chain is still operating, and it also retains a small part of its film investment business.

Now the Lam Group needs to join forces to fight against Golden Harvest and New Art City, which are eyeing Dandan, and on the other hand to deal with the ban from the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association. Introducing Shaw Brothers to cooperate is also a forced and helpless move.

"If you give up, you will get something. Using 20% ​​of the profit from "Parasite" in exchange for our movie to get better treatment at Shaw Brothers Cinemas is worth it!" Seeing Lin Chaoyang approved of her approach, Tao Yushu's face showed a smile

smile.

Two days later, Lin Chaoyang made an appointment with Xu Anhua and Xu Guanwen.

When we met, he said jokingly: "Our Lin family has been banned, how dare you two accept our movie?"

After saying this, Xu Anhua's expression remained as usual. Her stance was originally Z-centered and she had many cooperations with Yindu organizations, so naturally she wouldn't care about this kind of thing. A strange look flashed across Xu Guanwen's face.

Two years ago, the banning order issued by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association was indeed a deterrent. Actors all make a living by appearing on camera and acting.

If he is really blocked by Bay Island for starring in a film produced by Lam Pictures, he will definitely lose many film contracts, which is naturally not worth the loss. But now, Xu Guanwen is determined to work hard in the direction of an "artist", and a "Truman"

"The World" has laid a solid foundation for him. As long as "Parasite" can be successful, he will gain an extraordinary status and reputation in the Hong Kong film industry and even the entire society.

By that time, whether it is blocked or not, it will be bullshit.

If you want to ban Xu Guanwen, you should first ask the 5.5 million citizens of Xiangjiang if they agree!

"Haha! In the final analysis, the Freedom Association is parasitic on Hong Kong Film. They have been domineering for too long in these years and have forgotten their own identity. I really think they can do whatever they want with the Bay Island market!"

Lin Chaoyang naturally understood that Xu Guanwen's words were a statement to him, and the smile on his face became brighter. "With your support, it seems that I don't need to worry."

After joking, Lin Chaoyang took out the script of "Parasite", and Xu Anhua and Xu Guanwen's eyes suddenly shone. Isn't this what they have been looking forward to most these days?

After spending two or three hours reading the script, the two looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

The script level of "Parasite" is definitely not lower than that of "The Truman Show". As long as it is played properly and the production quality is online, it will definitely be another award-winning masterpiece. Thinking this in their minds, both of them became a little excited.

Xu Anhua asked: "Chaoyang, if nothing else happens, Michael should be the one to play Lao Jin, right?" Lin Chaoyang nodded.
Chapter completed!
