According to the script setting, the scenes in "Opium War" have exceeded 200, and the total area of ​​the scenes required is at least 60,000 square meters. With the construction of Hengdian Film and Television Factory first, the crew saved a lot of effort.

But there is still a lot of work to be done. In the film, the ships involved in the naval battle require nearly 50. The construction and transformation of these ships alone is a big project.

There are many characters appearing in "Opium War". Xie Jin has contacted the army. The number of extras that need to be used in this film will reach tens of thousands, and even foreign actors will have more than 3,000.

With more than 20,000 sets of clothing and nearly 30,000 props, such a huge project was launched, Xie Jin and Zhang Yimou immediately became a top.

Lin Chaoyang became the boss of the hand. He paid and worked hard for this movie, which was worthy of the attention of the leader zY.

As a result, before he could leave Yanjing, Du Ruolin called and said that the review of the new book had been approved.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Chaoyang took a look at the calendar card. It was almost half a year in a flash. It was not as verified as you did. "The Wreath Under the Mountain" was only one or two months old.

"The situation is different. Your new book involves too many important figures and important events in modern times. Although some people you use pseudonyms, who can't see it? Which one is not allowed to express opinions?

Just be content. This is the support of the great leader. Otherwise, your novel will be changed into pieces even if it can be published.

Think about it, except for the long trial, is there anything that makes you embarrassed?"

Du Ruolin revealed a lot of information, and Lin Chaoyang was quite pleased. It seems that my 100 million yuan was not wasted!

"Then publish it."

"The old rules are published, and the publication of "People's Literature" is the responsibility of the Humanities Society. The manuscript has been transferred to the People's Literature magazine a few days ago. Let them communicate with you at that time."

"good."

The new book finally passed the review, and the stone in Lin Chaoyang's heart was considered to have fallen into the ground.

To be honest, in fact, many domestic military-themed writers or old writers in the system also write some important figures and events in modern history, but few people have encountered such strict review by Lin Chaoyang.

The fundamental reason is that the tone and position of the novel are different.

Compared with those works whose positions are clearly from my perspective, Lin Chaoyang's new book adopts multi-perspective narrative.

Different perspectives lead to different positions.

From the viewer's perspective, different views will inevitably arise.

Later generations, "White Deer Plain" only mentioned two D translations, Aozi was criticized at the beginning of his publication. This way of writing Lin Chaoyang's new book is extremely bold.

As Du Ruolin said, if there were no endorsement of powerful figures like the Great Leader, the publication and publication of this work would probably be an unknown.

After the news of the new book review, Lin Chaoyang did not rush back to Xiangjiang.

The two children have been here in Yanjing for summer vacation since July. When he was free, he took his children to visit various attractions.

After waiting for a few more days, "People's Literature" contacted him, and the current chief editor Shuzhen and deputy editor-in-chief Cui Daoyi came to visit him in person.

Liu Xinwu got off the position of editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" in 1990. He was replaced by Liu Baiyu and Cheng Shuzhen, who was responsible for the daily management of the magazine.

There has been rumors about Lin Chaoyang's new book in the domestic literary circle in the past six months, saying that the content involves many important modern figures and events, which is very bold and has caused many different opinions.

After half a year of review, the novel cannot be counted by both hands, and it is normal for the content of the scale claw to be transmitted.

Many people inferred based on the rumored content that Lin Chaoyang might not be able to publish this novel.

People's Literature magazine has talked about this issue before. Everyone thinks that with Lin Chaoyang's international reputation and domestic status, publication should not be a problem, but revisions are probably inevitable.

After all, there are some plots and plots that they just think have exceeded the criteria that literature can judge.

As a result, no one expected that just a week ago, Lin Chaoyang's new work was sent from the sea to the People's Literature magazine "wearing a hat".

In publications of the level of "People's Literature", there has always been no shortage of "hat-wearing manuscripts" from above.

Editors have always avoided this type of manuscript.

Most of these manuscripts do not meet the employment standards, but the authors are generally of different origins, which not only makes the editors feel embarrassed, but also question their professional ethics and conscience as editors.

But the situation this time is different. This is Lin Chaoyang's new work, and I heard that it is still "tested". Since it can be sent down, it must have been recognized by the leaders above.

Everyone turned against the previous "Hat-wearing draft" and was afraid to avoid it and rush to take a sneak peek.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shuzhen and Cui Daoyi were firmly in their hands, and they did not give everyone a chance, which made everyone very dissatisfied.

In fact, this matter is not because Cheng Shuzhen and Cui Daoyi are autocratic, but because the leadership level sent by the manuscript is too high and they dare not neglect it.

After spending a few days reviewing the manuscript from beginning to end, Cheng Shuzhen sighed. He didn't think the novel was bad, but he felt that it was written too well, which was a good thing that was hard to follow and difficult to match.

He himself was a reportage writer. As a literary creator, he really could not imagine what kind of talent a person needs to produce such a masterpiece.

"Old Cui, have you finished reading the novel? What do you think?"

Cheng Shuzhen found Cui Daoyi in the office and asked him about his ideas about the novel.

"I've finished reading."

Cheng Shuzhen thought Cui Daoyi would continue to say it, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't say anything.

"You're talking!" he urged.

Cui Daoyi shook his head, "I don't know what to say."

"What does it mean to not know what to say?"

Cui Daoyi thought about it, and said hesitantly twice: "Magnificent! Unparalleled!

Cheng Shuzhen nodded, and these two words were summarized well.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Shuzhen asked, "It's gone?"

"I have to go slowly. I will give you a few days after reviewing the draft. I have to read the novel again."

Cheng Shuzhen was a little disappointed, but thinking about the word count of this novel, it was indeed not easy to summarize it in detail.

After he got the manuscript, it took him a week to read it through, and so did Cui Daoyi.

"Don't just ask me, how do you feel?" Cui Daoyi asked back.

Cheng Shuzhen's hands slapped back and forth on the armrest of the chair. After pondering for a long time, Cui Daoyi thought he was brewing and was full of expectations.

After a while, Cheng Shuzhen said, "You said, how did he pass the review of this thing?"

Cui Daoyi suppressed his eyes rolling, "You have been thinking for a long time, this is the only question?"

"Of course not. Don't you need time to digest it too? So do I.

The magnificent work of more than 800,000 words is even more so than the complexity of the story in terms of the pattern and story.

Who would have thought that he could write a second novel like this!”

Cui Daoyi fully understands Cheng Shuzhen's meaning. For writers, writing is a process of constantly drawing things out.

Experience, knowledge and talent are the creative sources that writers rely on, but these sources are not inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

As strong as Mao Dun, Ba Jin, and Cao Yu, they are also discussed when people say that "the talent of Jiang Lang is over."

Lin Chaoyang shocked the Chinese literary world with his film "Crossing the Guandong", and was praised by many critics as "the best novel since the founding of New China" and "the jewel in the crown of contemporary Chinese literature."

Everyone admired it, and couldn't help but sigh.

As a writer, I can write such a great work without regrets.

Therefore, many people also asserted that it is probably difficult for Lin Chaoyang to write a work that is more than "Crossing the Guandong" in this life.

"Crossing the Guandong" has been published for exactly 10 years. During this period, Lin Chaoyang still maintained a high frequency of creations and produced excellent works frequently.

Many of the works have caused great responses overseas.

But in the eyes of many domestic critics, Lin Chaoyang has never created dazzling works that are as eye-catching as "Crossing the Guandong".

This situation not only makes critics feel regretful, but also makes them cherish "Chuangguandong" even more.

Even if "White Deer Plain" was released in the next few years, for many critics who regard "Chuangguandong" as unique, it is just an imitation of "Chuangguandong".

Now, Cui Daoyi and Cheng Shuzhen are holding the manuscript of Lin Chaoyang's new work in their hands. Although they have only read it roughly, they can say very responsibly:

This is definitely a work that is no less than "Chuangguandong". No, it should be said that there is still transcendence in some places, and Lin Chaoyang has completed transcendence with himself.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Cheng Shuzhen patted the handrail hard, stood up, "Let's go to Lin Chaoyang's house first!"

"Why are you going?"

"Talk to him and decide what to post first."

Cui Daoyi hesitated, "This is too urgent. At least the process of the third review and three proofreading must be followed, right?"

"I didn't say I won't leave. I'm going to talk to him first. Isn't there any rumor that he has reviewed this novel for half a year?

People must be anxious. Now that the manuscript has come to us, I will definitely post it. What’s wrong with communicating in advance?”

Cui Daoyi was right when he thought about it.

Cheng Shuzhen had never had much contact with Lin Chaoyang. Fortunately, he had an acquaintance Cui Daoyi. He met and exchanged greetings and talked about his comments on the novel. Cheng Shuzhen praised the festival and praised it, and praised it endlessly.

Lin Chaoyang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly said a few humble words.

"This novel is an honor for our publication in publication in the publication of "People's Literature". However, it is not easy to publish such a masterpiece in the page of "People's Literature".

Cheng Shuzhen talked about the specific details of the publication, and his face showed a look of contemplation.
