Since 1983

Xinhua Company, in the office.

Lu Haiyan was reading a book in the room when an employee suddenly came in and said, "Director, someone named Xu Fei is looking for you."

"Xu Fei?"

Haiyan paused for a moment, then remembered that it was the one who had dinner with Ma Weidu and Zhu Jiazhen, and he hadn't contacted him since then. He was a little strange, "Ask him to come in."

Not long after, the staff led a person into the house.

"Director, excuse me."

"Just call me by name, please sit down."

While being polite, Haiyan guessed his reason for coming. This actor who said he was from "Dream of Red Mansions" didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

He is 32 years old, his parents divorced when he was a child, and he left home to make a living when he was 15 years old. Later, he served as a soldier, and after retiring from the army, he was placed in the Labor Reform Bureau of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and became a policeman.

This Xinhua company belongs to the public security system. He is the director of the enterprise management department, equivalent to a department manager.

Xu Fei sat down generously, chatted for a few words, saw a stack of manuscript paper on the table, and said, "Are you writing a new book?"

"Oh, write whatever you want, I don't have any ideas yet."

"Your writing is so good, I look forward to your masterpiece."

"you flatter me."

"It's not a compliment. I finished reading "Plainclothes Police" a while ago, and it's the first one in terms of readability!"

He gave a thumbs up, and he said, "I've read those comments, and they all said that this book is vulgar, but it's good because of the vulgarity."

"how to say?"

"When literature is presented in a single genre, it means that it is not brilliant, and it is a good situation when a hundred flowers bloom. Nowadays, there are too many serious literatures, and popular literature needs to be neutralized. Besides, popular is no less than serious. Interesting, characters, stories, Each structure has its own advantages. Alexandre Dumas and Zhang Henshui have written vulgar literature all their lives, but who dares to say that they are not great writers?"

A few words slipped into Haiyan's heart, and he was poked at an itchy spot.

He thinks that "Plainclothes Police" is excellent, with all the writing, depth, and storytelling. After the results are announced, not to mention the awards, there is even little attention.

However, he left home as a young man, has rich experience, and is quite deep in the city, so he just smiled and said: "The level is not good, and needs to be improved."

"Hehe, Brother Lu is so talented, I don't want to continue to develop in the literary world, join a writer's association or something?"

"My brother really knows how to joke, the Writers Association doesn't just join in."

"not kidding……"

Xu Fei put down his teacup and said, "I'm not going around in circles anymore. I'm here today to talk to you about the film and television adaptation of "Plainclothes Police."

"Film adaptation?"

"Oh, I'm working at the Television Arts Center now, and "Four Generations Under One Roof" is our production."

"..."

Haiyan's heart beat twice instantly, "Four Generations Under One Roof" was a phenomenal TV series last year.

"After reading the novel, I thought the story was good and suitable for adaptation into a TV series, so I took the liberty to talk to you. I don't know what you mean?"

"this……"

Haiyan was already inclined to agree, but his cautious personality prevented him from replying immediately.

Xu Fei saw that his face was watery, but his two small eyes were shining brightly, so he said, "Why don't you think about it again, this is my business card."

He handed over the business card, which was quite simple in design. It said Beijing Television Art Center, Xu Fei, and a series of landline numbers below.

"I won't bother you today, we'll talk again when we have a chance."

Teacher Xu got up and left without making any promises.

Compared with a TV series, a novel is dominated by the TV series, because there are too few choices. Unlike later generations, an IP is snapped up by various platforms.

The other party's psychology is well understood, and they must want to become famous through TV dramas. As long as the drama becomes popular, the original author will also be popular. After that, the future path, such as the writers' association or something, is not a delusion.

…………

"Finally back!"

Early in the morning, several buses stopped at the gate of Tongzilou. When the doors opened, Hu Zehong jumped out first, shouting, "I used to think it was broken, but now it feels like home."

"Well, there is a feeling of wandering abroad and finally coming home." Deng Jie continued.

"Although the house is dilapidated, the dog doesn't think the house is poor!"

Ouyang was the third to speak, and was despised by everyone, "Go, you are the dog!"

After a group of people got out of the car, Wang Fulin and Ren Dahui called them over and said, "Let me tell you something. This year's Spring Festival has a Hong Kong journalist group coming over. This is the first communication between the media from the two places. The higher-ups attach great importance to it, so we must welcome it well. So There will be no holidays for the Spring Festival..."

"ah?"

As soon as the words came out, there were immediately complaints.

"Isn't it impossible to go home?"

"I haven't seen my parents for months."

"You're only a few months old, and I'm already a year old!"

"Director Wang, can't you be accommodating?"

"Okay, stop arguing..."

Wang Fulin lowered his hands and said: "Since it has been decided, we have to complete the task. During this period of time, we are free to move around and continue shooting after the festival."

After he finished speaking, he asked everyone to leave. He and Ren Dahui looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Poor!

But it didn't lie, the reception was really high-standard, and even the top leaders of the Ministry of Culture had to act. Hong Kong said that more than 30 media outlets would come, as well as two of the largest TV stations.

The main purpose of the two parties is to see the shooting results of "Dream of Red Mansions". If it is possible, the TV station there will consider introducing it.

Negotiations on the Hong Kong issue began in 1982 and continued until 1984. On December 19, China and Britain signed the "Joint Declaration" and decided to return to China on July 1, 1997.

Therefore, activities such as cultural exchanges are big events, and the higher-ups naturally attach importance to them.

But they said that everyone went upstairs, and those who knew the way were looking for rooms, but there was still air leaking from all sides, and the building was as thin as paper.

Zhang Li called home and came to look for her sister, only to find Chen Xiaoxu staying in the room unhappy.

"Poor thing, why are you crying again?"

She hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears that didn't exist.

"Bah, you're crying!"

Chen Xiaoxu pushed it away lightly, and said, "Have you finished calling?"

"Well, you didn't tell the family?"

"I've said it, it's just that I'm sad. I've never spent New Year's Eve outside, and I've always been with my parents."

"Then let's beg Director Wang to give you a few days off and go back and have a look."

"..."

Chen Xiaoxu was a little moved, and then shook his head again, "No, everyone has left their homes, how can I be special. Besides, when the reporter team came over and saw that Daiyu was not here, am I not a sinner?"

"You, you clearly understand it in your heart, but you just love to be awkward and wrong yourself to death."

Zhang Li now likes to pinch her face, it is tender and smooth, and it seems that water can come out when pinched.

"You think everyone is like you..."

Chen Xiaoxu pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I am quite envious of you, you look soft and weak, and you are much more independent than me."

"Growing up is painful. If you go through the whole experience of my childhood, you are also very independent. Let's not talk about this, I will peel an apple for you to eat."

Like Doraemon, Zhang Li dug out a small crumpled apple from his pocket, and said while peeling it, "I think Director Wang and the director are just trying to comfort us. The production team is short of funds, and filming may not start after the festival."

"I think so, I'm afraid it's going to shut down."

"Hey, I've persisted for almost two years. Don't be discouraged at this time. I think everyone's condition is not good. I hope it will be safe and smooth."

"Dream of Red Mansions" has been filmed for so long, and everyone has already passed the freshness and entered the burnout period. Now that the crew is in a bad situation, people's hearts are also floating.

When I was in Jiangnan, there were quite a few wealthy locals who made a fortune, and they came to hook up when they had nothing to do. Inviting meals, giving gifts, all of which are expensive and beautiful clothes, I am really tempted to follow along.

So it's not easy to persevere until the end. It's like going through a lot of tempering, and the realm of life has been improved.

"Give."

Zhang Li peeled the apple, cut two-thirds of it for her, and took a small bite of the core wrapped in a layer of pulp.

"Well, it's really sweet."

"It's delicious only when it's wrinkled. Put it in a pot and cook it, and add some white pears, hawthorn, and rock sugar." Chen Xiaoxu became happy again when he had something to eat.

"Oh? Then you have to try."

The eyes of the two turned to the rice cooker at the same time, and then turned back again. Zhang Li paused, and said, "Do you want to make a phone call?"

"Anyway, I don't want to fight, I want to go to you."

"Then I won't fight anymore."

"..."

Chen Xiaoxu pursed his lips, "You don't have to take care of me."

"This is what I said..."

Zhang Li pinched her face again, "Who else can I care about if I don't care about you?"

(and there are...)
