Chapter 592: A little inferior, even if you lose, you will still be honored(1/2)
The surname is Lin, writer.
A name immediately appeared in Xu Fan's mind, "Lin Chaoyang?"
"right."
Xu Fan asked in surprise: "Uncle is his friend?"
"In the early 1980s, he wrote several scripts for director Li Hanxiang and director Xie Jin. Your uncle met him at that time," said Jiang's mother.
Xu Fan has watched all the movies mentioned by Jiang’s mother, but she was still young at that time.
Lin Chaoyang's name can be said to be the ones who grew up in their generation. Today, the first time I heard Jiang Shan talk about the fact that their family and Lin Chaoyang actually had this kind of relationship, Xu Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Shanshan, you hide so deeply. I have never heard you mention it before."
"I met him when I was a child, but I never met him twice. This time I happened to meet him. My dad and I went to visit Uncle Chen, and he also went to visit him-"
When Xu Fan heard Jiang Shan talk about the story, he felt both envy and amazed.
I got the second female lead with just one phone call, and I still acted with Leslie Cheung.
Who was the last mainland actress who acted with Leslie Cheung?
Gong Li, Gong Li is now a legend in the Central Academy of Drama.
By the way, there is Cong Shan. They have heard of them since they entered school. Teacher Tao from the school’s opera department is Lin Chaoyang’s brother-in-law. Cong Shan was able to star in "The Wrangler" because Teacher Tao recommended it to Xie through Lin Chaoyang.
Director Jin.
It is great to know great writers and great directors. They can act casually. Xu Fan once again realizes the importance of connections in the film industry.
While chatting, Cui Jie also made a look for Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan's facial features are soft and her eyes are bright. When she smiles, her eyes are crescent. Since she entered the Central Academy of Drama, she has become a goddess-level figure.
After being modified by Cui Jie's skillful hands, her body now exudes a gentle and elegant beauty.
Instead of being a young actor who has grown up, he is more like a movie star who has been famous for many years.
Cui Jie looked at Jiang Shanxiang for a long time, satisfied with her skills, and praised her, "Shan Shan does have a star-like smell. Then come on this, I will make it for you again tomorrow."
"It's Aunt Cui, you have good skills, thank you."
Xu Fan, who was beside him, also praised him a few words, and his heart was full of envy and jealousy.
After Cui Jie left, Xu Fan also offered to say goodbye. She felt that if she didn't leave, her mentality would be prone to being unbalanced.
After a short time, the news that the daughter of the Yan family in Jianghuai was going to Xiangjiang to act with Leslie Cheung spread throughout the Yanying Factory's family building.
In a studio, acting in a movie is never news, but the difference is that Jiang Shan is playing with Leslie Cheung this time.
Although I am unwilling to admit it, the current Xiangjiang film industry does have a crushing advantage over the mainland film industry.
Not only the market performance and influence, but also the same among actors. Xiangjiang actors are naturally taller in front of mainland actors.
The movies that others act in are popular and have good box office. Many people in the mainland film industry think that if it were not for policy protection, the mainland film industry would have been destroyed by Xiangjiang movies long ago.
This is not that our parents are determined to destroy their own prestige, but that they are truly aware of the gap between the two sides and have seen the fanatical audiences in the video hall.
It was said that Jiang Huaiyan had left Lin Chaoyang's relationship, so everyone couldn't help but talk about Chen Huaikai's son Chen Kaige, who is now an internationally renowned director.
Many people couldn't help but imagine that if they could have been as good as Chen Huaikai and Jiang Huaiyan back then,
Now the children may be able to borrow all of them.
In 1992 just passed, the market economy wind completely blew in China.
In the past, there was Yu Xuesong at the 77th Chinese class party, and later, Jiang Shan abandoned her identity as a drama actor and joined the film and television industry.
Everything seems to inevitably go vulgar!
Lin Chaoyang was quite emotional about this, but it was limited to emotion, just like the saying that the times were developing and society was progressing.
It is impossible for people to stay away from the ground. The only thing they can do is find a suitable position in this society.
Jiang Shan in later generations was a very regrettable actor. Whether it was her appearance, acting skills, temperament and aura, she was Yiyi among their generation of actresses, and she had the potential to grow into a Gong Li-like character.
The mainland film industry lacks stars, and Tao Yushu also intends to praise his own people.
With the relationship between Jianghuaiyan, Lin Chaoyang is willing to help. As for the heated discussion caused by his slaughter in Yan Film Studio, Lin Chaoyang does not understand and will not care about it.
More than a week passed by, and the first month is about to end.
Without any trouble, Lin Chaoyang's creative efficiency was very high. It took less than five days to write the end of the new novel, and in the past few days he turned over and revised the manuscript.
If the speed is fast, it will be done in ten days and half a month.
That morning, he worked for more than two hours and was walking in the yard. Bodyguard Xiao Sun took a letter and handed it to Lin Chaoyang.
In recent years, telephone calls have become more and more popular, and Lin Chaoyang has written fewer and fewer letters to him than before.
Friends who are familiar with him often call him.
When he saw the sender's name, he knew it.
The letter was written by Cheng Zhongshi from Shaanxi.
"Brother Chaoyang Wen:
Hello!
When I visited Xiaoliubukou Hutong two years ago, I visited Li Tuo and others. I still remember it vividly.
Unfortunately, you were in Xiangjiang at that time.
Since the county meeting, I have been separated for many years. I wonder how you are doing recently? Niannian.
In November last year, my work "White Deer Plain" was published in two issues in the magazine "Contemporary" with a total of about 500,000 words. It took six years to create this book, which was quite laborious.
Fortunately, the response was excellent after the publication and was recognized by the critics and readers. I felt deeply frightened and couldn't help but feel happy.
I wrote this letter to you because I wanted to ask for help.
"Contemporary" plans to hold a seminar on "White Deer Plain" in Beijing in early March, and the editorial department sincerely invites respected predecessors in the literary world.
I don’t know much about the literary circle of Yanjing. I contacted Li Tuo before, and he agreed happily and said that you are now in Yanjing, so I wrote a letter with shamelessness.
Lin Chaoyang and Cheng Zhongshi met very early. They met at the awarding conference of the National Outstanding Short Stories Awards in 1979.
Later, we met at the Huangdao Writing Conference and Zhuo County Conference in "Yanjing Literature", and the relationship became familiar.
In recent years, Lin Chaoyang went to Xiangjiang and had fewer contacts.
But no matter how little contact is, I am always an acquaintance.
Lin Chaoyang has always been kind to his acquaintances.
He immediately replied to Cheng Zhongshi and agreed to this job.
After writing the letter, two more days later, Zhu Changsheng ran to Xiaoliubukou Hutong.
"Chaoyang, long time no see?" Zhu Changsheng stepped forward and shook his hand with Lin Chaoyang.
"You are a rare guest!"
Zhu Changsheng is the editor of "Contemporary". In his early years, Lin Chaoyang's two stream of consciousness novels "The Summer of Lai Zi" and "The Death of Van Gogh" were both first released in "Contemporary".
After the greetings, Lin Chaoyang went into the house and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Changsheng, and Zhu Changsheng explained his purpose.
"We "Contemporary" intend to hold a seminar for "White Deer Plain". "You are here for the seminar? Cheng Zhongshi just wrote a letter to me two days ago and has already agreed to him,
I will attend the seminar on time then," said Lin Chaoyang.
Zhu Changsheng nodded and said happily: "That's great."
Then he complained about his pain, "Oh, I've hired someone these days, but I've run away all my legs."
Lin Chaoyang joked: "White Deer Plain is so popular, isn't it okay for you to be tired? It seems that the specifications of this seminar are not low!"
"White Deer Plain" has been published for more than three months. As time goes by, the response of this work has become increasingly strong and the critics cheered and readers are also rushing to read it. "Contemporary" magazine was expensive in Luoyang.
Under such circumstances, "Contemporary" naturally spared no effort to waving flags and shout for "White Deer Plain" and boost the tone of the seminar as high as possible.
Zhu Changsheng smiled and called out a few names. In summary, he only summed up in eight words: high moral character and high reputation.
"You guys are really working hard."
"It's not okay if you don't work hard. The industry is in a downturn. Many people have put aside the habit of reading and are focused on money-"
After wandering around for a while, Zhu Changsheng carefully tentatively: "I heard that your new work is almost finished?"
"You heard what Li Tuo said?"
Zhu Changsheng did not deny it, that's it.
"Not finalized yet."
"This is the last part of the four-part plot of birth, old age, sickness and death, right? The literary world is looking forward to it now!"
With Lin Chaoyang's experience of fighting wits and courage with editors over the years, how could he not realize Zhu Changsheng's meaning?
"Not that exaggerated."
"You still don't understand your influence, "Entertainment", "Father", "Dallas Buyers Club"
It is also one of the most popular works among your many works.
With these three works, everyone is now full of expectations for this last "Life".
Even I know that last year, "Dallas Buyer Club" sold nearly 4 million copies in China. If it were to calculate the sales volume from overseas, I would probably go for 10 million copies, right?
I have sold nearly 10 million copies in a year. I have been an editor for so many years and have never heard of such an exaggerated number."
Lin Chaoyang thought to himself that you have seen very little. Not to mention abroad, a masterpiece will be born in China this year, with an annual sales of 12 million copies.
Zhu Changsheng said again: "However, "Dallas Buyer Club" is very popular, but it is still based on American society and culture, and is a certain distance from Chinese readers. For this reason, readers have something to do with your new work. I'm afraid the expectations are higher."
After talking for a long time, he saw that Lin Chaoyang had not responded for a long time, and knew that this was not easy to deal with.
