Chapter 95 095 The novel is not finished yet, someone wants to put it on the stage of a drama
Your sister?
Zhao Hongjun only has one sister, and she has already married to Huacheng in Guangdong Province. When did she get another sister?
But after thinking about it, Fang Minghua knew who he was talking about.
“You mean Song Tangtang, right?”
"Yes, Aunt Zhou, Song Tangtang's biological mother, came to me yesterday and said that Tangtang has been with you recently and asked about you."
"What did you say?"
< br>"Tell the truth, you haven't done anything bad, what can't you say?"
"Oh, Song Tangtang and I mainly talked about the script." Fang Minghua simply said what happened recently Said it again.
“Is it that simple?” Zhao Hongjun seemed a little unconvinced.
"How complicated do you want it to be?"
"Tangtang is a very proud girl. Among our group of buddies, she doesn't like anyone. She can't ask anyone out, but she can go there every day. Are you running away?”
“The charm of literature.”
“You must fool Uncle Song, Aunt Zhou and the others.”
Fang Minghua smiled and said nothing.
"Actually, I think you two are quite good." Zhao Hongjun said, but suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, do you know that the college student from Western University named Li Li, the one you know, is related to Tangtang? They are cousins!"
Really?
However, Fang Minghua was not too surprised and vaguely guessed something.
"Hey, it seems that Li Li hasn't come to the correspondence class to see you recently?" Zhao Hongjun asked again.
"How do I know? We are just ordinary friends." Fang Minghua was very honest.
Zhao Hongjun glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhao Hongjun sat for a while and then left. He said that there were too many things going on at work recently, and he sometimes had to work overtime at night. When there was no time, let's go out for a drink and chat. Fang Minghua agreed with a smile.
Actually, it didn’t take long for Song Tangtang to come back to visit relatives. It only took half a month to go back and forth, and he would return to southern Xinjiang tomorrow.
Fang Minghua’s script has also been finished.
"My brother will take me to the station tomorrow." Song Tangtang said.
"Well, I wish you a safe journey, and be sure to pay attention to safety when you get to the army!"
"I know, if your new novel is published, remember to send me a copy The magazine went over."
"Okay, no problem."
Fang Minghua knew that she was talking about "The Donkey Gets Water", and he has been busy writing a script for Xie Jin recently, so he didn't bother. Improve this book again.
"I'll take you back by bike."
"Yes."
At night, Song Tangtang was packing her things in her room and faintly heard her parents talking in the living room.
"Old Song, how have you considered Tangtang's matter?"
"There is no problem with Lao Wang in the military region. I will contact the southern Xinjiang side. The leaders of both parties No objection. ”
"Then tell Tangtang?"
"Don't worry, wait until the leaders of the two units have communicated well. You know that Tangtang has a stubborn temper. He was transferred from a large military region art troupe to a provincial military region art troupe, and his grade was downgraded. "Level, I'm worried that she won't agree, but if it's in the name of the organization, she has to listen."
"In my opinion, why should I just retire and find a lighter job?" ?Tangtang is already 20 this year!”
“Then go tell your precious daughter and see if she agrees?”
“Hey, it’s all your fault!” >
Song Tangtang was packing her luggage while listening to her parents' conversation.
Usually when we talk about this topic, she will run over and object strongly.
I won’t come back! I want to stay in southern Xinjiang!
But this time, she just listened silently without speaking.
Fang Minghua sent the script to Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio by registered mail the next day.
The other party responded quickly after receiving the script. Only a week later, Xie Jin called the magazine and told Fang Minghua that he agreed to film with his script. According to the contract signed by both parties, the other party would pay the copyright fee for the novel adaptation and the script fee. There is a strange phenomenon in this era. Film script manuscript fees are higher than novel manuscript fees. According to the regulations of the National Publishing Bureau: the price of each long feature film is about 1,500 to 4,000 yuan.
SIFF paid Fang Minghua 2,600 yuan.
Not bad either.
Of course there is also 300 yuan to purchase the rights to adapt the novel.
Treat me.
Fang Minghua no longer cares about the movie "Youth". With Xie Jin as the boss filming, what are you worried about?
The historical movie "Wreaths on the Mountain" is proof of this.
Now his energy has been transferred to "The Donkey Gets Water". It has been more than two months since the first draft was completed. It has only been revised once and the final draft has not been completed.
Work harder and try to get it done before the end of the month.
Fang Minghua had not yet decided which magazine to submit the article to.
But what he never expected was that before the novel was published, or even officially completed, someone would come to his door.
When he got up from a nap in the afternoon, Fang Minghua wore a pair of big underpants and was shirtless revising a novel in his room.
It is late August now, and the weather in Xijing is still very hot. Song Tangtang was here some time ago, and he was embarrassed to be shirtless, but now he has no worries when he is alone in the room.
"Fang Minghua, Fang Minghua, your phone number!" Another girl's voice sounded outside the door.
"Where did you call?"
"Yenjing!"
Yenjing?
Fang Minghua thought it was from Shanghai.
“Okay, I’ll be right over.”
Fang Minghua quickly put on his shirt and hurried to the magazine office on the first floor of the front building.
"I am Fang Minghua, who are you?"
"Xiao Fang, I am Li Baotian." A bold voice sounded on the other side of the phone.
"Brother Li, how are you doing lately?"
"Very good."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words before getting down to business.
"Xiao Fang, has your article "The Donkey Gets Water" published?" Li Baotian asked.
"Not yet. Director Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Academy wants to film the movie "Youth" I wrote and adapt it into a script for me to write. I was busy a while ago." Fang Minghua told the truth.
"Youth" is going to be a movie? Okay, I will definitely watch it then." Li Baotian continued on the phone, saying: "That's the thing, I have a friend in Yan Jing Renyi is a director. When I was chatting with him, I talked about your book "The Donkey Gets Water". He was very interested in it and said that this kind of novel is most suitable for adapting into a drama, so he wanted to talk with you. "< br>
Holy shit!
Yanjing People's Art!
This is one of the most leading figures in the domestic drama industry today.
“Which director is it?” Fang Minghua asked curiously again.
“Lin Zhaohua.”
Lin Zhaohua?
Fang Minghua is not sure. To be honest, he knows a few actors from Renyi, such as Pu Cunxin, He Bing, Chen Xiaoyi, etc. But apart from the director, who is a leading figure like Cao Yu, he really doesn't know anything else.
In fact, what he didn’t know was that Lin Zhaohua was also a big name in the arts. He later served as the vice president of the Yanjing Arts and was called the “big director.” In August of this year (1982), The director's "Absolute Signal" premiered at "People's Art" and was later known as China's first small theater drama.
"Xiao Fang, Director Lin is next to me. I will give him the phone and he will tell you."
Soon, a man's voice with a Tianjin accent sounded on the phone: "Comrade Xiaofang, I am Lin Zhaohua, I listen to Baotian The novel you wrote is a type of black absurd humor that is rare in China, so I want to put it on the stage and hear your thoughts."
"But I haven't published it yet, even. The final draft has not been completed yet," Fang Minghua replied.
"It doesn't matter. You also know that the play is a second creation, and it won't have much impact if it is not finalized."
That's true.
Fang Minghua has no objections to Renyi's adaptation of the play, but the manuscript of the novel is still in his hands, and it is not completely completed and needs to be revised.
"Well, please come and bring your manuscript to Yanjing, okay? I'll read your manuscript and then discuss it in detail, okay? How about we Renyi bear the cost of the round trip?"
Go to Yanjing for free again?
Thank you for your monthly votes.
