Instead, we should find a way that appeals to both refined and popular tastes.

In the first two months, I went back to Yanjing to give lectures to the students at the Lu Academy, and I talked a lot with those students.

I don’t know if it’s my misunderstanding, but I found that our creators are becoming proud, and some of them have even begun to try to be teachers for the common people. You know how much achievements Mr. Lao She made in the field of novels back then, but

What did he do after he returned to China?

"Based on the current cultural level of some working people, reading novels may still be somewhat difficult," but "watching a play is not that troublesome." This is what Mr. Lao She said in the preface to his selected plays.

Therefore, he gave up his best field of novels and devoted himself to the field of drama creation. From 1950 to 1965, he wrote a total of 23 plays. Lao Li, I want to ask you, are our writers still

Do you have Mr. Lao She’s awareness?”

Lin Chaoyang's face was calm, but his tone was sonorous and powerful. At the end of his speech, Li Shifei felt a sense of fear in his heart and his face became hot. Although Lin Chaoyang's words just now did not criticize him directly, they were more than criticism.

Li Shifei was not angry because of this. Instead, he fell silent and began to reflect on himself. Frankly speaking, was "The Great Era" written wonderfully?

Very exciting!

Every character has flesh and blood and is vivid. The plot of the novel is based on family feuds and stock market turmoil, with ups and downs and full of dramatic tension. There are also many clever foreshadowings that echo back and forth, which is amazing.

For example, Fang Zhanbo's father Fang Jinxin once asked Luo Huiling what she should do when she likes a place but doesn't like the people there. Luo Huiling's answer was to drive them all away and become the talker there.

This sentence was later fulfilled in Fang Zhanbo's revenge process. This kind of echoing foreshadowing made the plot more coherent and increased the depth and layering of the story. Li Shifei believed that "The Great Era" lacked literary quality and was more based on

Look at it at the textual level.

In terms of plot alone, "The Great Era" is far more exciting than most contemporary novels.

In addition, the novel is not bad at all in terms of ideological and critical quality, and can even be said to be quite outstanding.

The novel's profound insight into human nature, its criticism of the gap between rich and poor and the solidification of classes, and its reflection and discussion on the impermanence of fate can be said to be profound. "Stocks are a human game, stocks are dead, they will not fight with you, stocks

The opponent we face is human beings.”

"Ask yourself, if you were to die tomorrow, which line of work would you work in, where would you spend your last day until you die." Even if he only read it once, Li Shifei had already memorized many of them.

Thought provoking dialogue.

There are also those vivid characters, the evil Ding Xie, the cute little Jew, the seemingly crazy but wise Ye Tian...

Whether they are main characters or minor characters, even if they appear only a few times, in Lin Chaoyang's writing, these characters are full of their own unique charm, making them unforgettable.

Li Shifei was blind before and only considered the literary nature of the novel. Now his mind has broadened and he was surprised to realize that "The Great Era" has so many advantages, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

After coming back to his senses, he looked at Lin Chaoyang again, and for some reason he suddenly felt like he was looking up at a high mountain.

He recalled what Lin Chaoyang had just said, and realized that Lin Chaoyang was already a step ahead of his contemporaries in creation. As the saying goes, "Great Times" may be pinned on Lin Chaoyang.

Such a creative concept.

As he thought about it, a look of shame flashed across Li Shifei's face.

"Chaoyang, I'm so ashamed! After listening to your words today, I realized that I seem to have gone into some misunderstandings in the past two years. I have only been pursuing metaphysical ideas, but I have ignored the most fundamental things in literature."

Lin Chaoyang quickly waved his hand, "These are just family opinions."

Li Shifei said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a family opinion or not, as long as it makes sense. Now that I think about it, you have actually been implementing your own ideas. Just like "The Master of Chess" a few years ago, wasn't it also criticized by others when it was first written?

The criticism is too popular and obviously obscene

But now it seems that reality can no longer be realistic.”

Li Shifei would use "The Master of Chess" as an example, mainly because this novel has had such a strong presence in the past two years, even stronger than the year it was first published. It can be said that some people criticized "The Master of Chess" back then.

How cruel it is, how painful it is to be slapped in the face by reality now!

As time goes by, the value of "Chess Master" continues to rise.

Not only is the novel selling well, but the movie adaptation is also being re-released every year.

When Li Shifei thought of this, he inevitably became superstitious and believed that Lin Chaoyang had some ideas about him.

In "The Master of Chess", it is written that Jiang Nansheng faced Japanese chess players one against nine. In reality, Nie Weiping really achieved eight consecutive victories in the Sino-Japanese Go Tournament. Now the third tournament has begun, with nine consecutive victories.

Still a problem?

While the two were talking, another guest came to Lin Chaoyang's house.

Lin Chaoyang introduced the other party as Dong Qiao from Ming Pao Publishing House, who was responsible for the publication of "The Great Era" in Xiangjiang. After exchanging a few words, Li Shifei asked curiously: "Brother Dong has read Chaoyang's "The Great Era" and thinks

How is it?"

Dong Qiao immediately responded, "Okay!"

In Li Shifei's eyes, his reaction always felt a bit exaggerated. Before he could ask "What's so good about it?", Dong Qiao took the initiative to continue. "So far, this is the third work about Xiangjiang society written by Chaoyang.

, but each one has a different ingenuity. "The Truman Show" is built on the basis of fantasy, while "Parasite" is an ultimate description of the bottom.

And this "Big Era" can be said to have written all about human nature. It is different from the complete darkness and cruelty of "Parasite". Although there is criticism, it has more of a great compassion for all living beings."

Dong Qiao did not talk eloquently, but what he said was concise and concise, but Li Shifei was impressed. "That's right! Brother Dong's evaluation hit the point!" Li Shifei praised.

"Thank you, brother!" Dong Qiao smiled and raised his hand to Li Shifei.

The two took advantage of the situation to exchange their views on "The Great Era". The conversation became more and more heated, and they actually left Lin Chaoyang aside. When they were almost finished talking, Lin Chaoyang invited the two of them to have a meal again and decided to publish it.

After that, I sent the two of them off with a gift.

After the publication of the new book was completed, Lin Chaoyang relaxed and began to help Tao Yushu share some of the company's affairs. During this time, Lin's Pictures has been busier than ever.

"Wealthy" was released for 24 days, with a box office of 27.8 million, temporarily ranking second in the 1987 Hong Kong movie box office rankings, the first being "Brothers of the Dragon and Tigers" starring Cheng Long.

"A Lang's Story" directed by Johnnie To has been completed and will be released in the near future;

Wang Jing's "The Supremes" is currently being filmed, Xu Anhua's "Parasite" is about to start shooting, and will be followed by "God of Gamblers", "The Gambler" and "The Gambler". The overseas release and revenue settlement of the film, and the integration of theater resources

, the new film plans of many film companies have recently been intensively registered...

The recent affairs of Lin's Pictures have made Tao Yushu, the scroll king, feel a little tired. "We are short of people!"

That afternoon, after Tao Yushu finished the meeting, he rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Some time ago, she was only thinking about radical expansion to counter the ban on Bay Island, but she somewhat overlooked that Lin's Pictures' foundation was too weak. Now the shortcomings of insufficient talent reserves have gradually been revealed.

When she was having a headache, there was an urgent knock on the door. "Come in!" Tao Yushu said with her eyes closed.

"Mrs. Lin!"

Tao Yushu opened his eyes and saw Zhou Xingchi looking worried, and asked: "Axing, what happened?"

Seeing that Tao Yushu seemed to be in a bad mood, Zhou Xingchi hesitated and said slowly: "Mrs. Lin, have you heard about it?" "What did you hear?"

"The Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association...gave me a banning order!"

As Stephen Chow spoke, he pursed his lips slightly, seeming to feel a little aggrieved, but more of a panic.

Tao Yu frowned during the book and his expression turned grim.

"They didn't give up, but it's a pity that their reaction speed was a little slow." She muttered to herself. Tao Yushu saw that Zhou Xingchi seemed to be frightened by the banning order, so she didn't blame him. He was a young man after all. "Don't worry. The company

Your filming will continue as usual, and their ban will not affect your filming."

After appeasing Stephen Chow, Tao Yushu asked again: "Who else did they name?" "No, it's just me!"

Tao Yushu's brows moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he understood the little trick of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Free Association.

They are naming Stephen Chow now, of course, because the previous banning order was not very effective, and they want to make it harder for some film companies and actors in Hong Kong to take action.

But now there are more and more companies, actors, and directors cooperating with Lam Pictures. If they were to name them all at once, it would be equivalent to pushing these people to oppose themselves. And Stephen Chow is not well-known, and he is

As a contracted artist of Lin's Pictures, it's perfect to use him as a warning to the monkeys.

"I got it. Don't feel pressure about this. The more they suppress you, the more we will praise you. These days, several screenwriters in the company are writing a script called "Invincible Lucky Star".

It will start filming next month, and you will play the male lead.

In addition, after Wang Jing has finished filming "The Supremes" and "God of Gamblers", he will film "The God of Gamblers", and the male lead will be you." Hearing Tao Yushu's promise, Stephen Chow was overjoyed, and he was about to be named and banned.

things behind.

"Thank you Mrs. Lin, I will definitely film well!"

Tao Yushu nodded, "Okay, let's go out first." "Yes."

After Stephen Chow left, Lin Chaoyang walked into Tao Yushu's office. She asked, "How was your chat with them?"

Lin Chaoyang smiled relaxedly and said, "No problem. They are all good at writing scripts. I gave them an outline of the script, and we can come up with the framework after a short discussion." "Just now, Ah Xing said that the Freedom Association named him.

, I told him about "Invincible Lucky Star" and "The Gambler"."

Lin Chaoyang nodded and said nothing.

Tao Yushu asked again, "When do you think they will be able to finish writing those action movie scripts? I am a bit worried about the actors now. I have to find a few well-known stars. If I say a newcomer, it will definitely affect the box office.

"Actors are easy to deal with. I asked Zhang Xinyan if he could find Jet Li, who acted in "Shaolin Temple" before. He is well-known in Hong Kong, but he doesn't have any filming now. There is also Liang Xiaolong, he doesn't have any filming now."

Jet Li became popular with "Shaolin Temple" in 1982, and then starred in movies such as "Shaolin Boys" and "North and South Shaolin". The response was pretty good, but because of this, he was banned and his acting career was limited.

Last year, I directed and starred in an action movie "Heroes of China", which made me so excited that even my mother didn't recognize it. Now I'm a little tired and have returned to the mainland. I heard that I am sick.

Liang Xiaolong became famous for his role as Chen Zhen in "The Great Hero Fearless" in 1981, and played Chen Zhen again in "Chen Zhen" in 1982.

A few years ago, he visited the mainland on behalf of Xiangjiang. Because he made some patriotic remarks, he was blocked by the Bay Island authorities and forced him to write a "letter of repentance", but Liang Xiaolong refused.
Chapter completed!
