Chapter 412
"The Spring of the Sheep Class" certainly cannot be considered a pure children's story. It is more accurate to say it is scar literature, but several important characters in it are indeed children. It tells the story of mutual redemption between teachers and students, and children's songs are also a very important element in the novel.
This is a story that both adults and children can watch. Director Yu feels that it can even impact awards. It seems that the Children's Er Yingchang has been isolated from awards since its establishment. People think that what children watch can have any ideological depth, but "The Spring of the Sheep Class" has great hope.
Wei Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Director Yu, actually, Director Xie Jin of the Shanghai Er Yingchang had thought about adapting this novel before, but I didn't agree."
If it were another writer, it is estimated that there would be no disagreement, and it is best to serve as a screenwriter himself, because the script fee is too considerable, which is one year or even several years of salary at a time, but Wei Ming really doesn't lack that.
Yu Lan: "I heard about this, and I can understand it. This novel is the most influential masterpiece among your novellas, so it is inevitable to be cautious about film and television. Director Xie said that you felt he was not a suitable director candidate. Then do you have a suitable candidate in your heart?"
"Can I let whoever I want direct?"
Director Yu said seriously: "As long as he is willing, and his unit is willing to let him go, I have no problem here at all."
This is Director Yu's respect for the richest man in the Chinese literary world. There are too few directors in the Children's Er Yingchang. She can even go to the Beijing Er Yingchang, Shanghai Er Yingchang, and Changchun Er Yingchang to help Wei Ming shake people. This is not a thing at all, but is there any director in this era who can exceed Xie Jin?
People have said so, and the sincerity is too sufficient. Wei Ming thought for a moment and said: "The matter of the director will be discussed later. Why don't I come up with a script first? If the Children's Er Yingchang has no problem, then discuss the candidate for the director."
"Okay," hearing Wei Ming agree to write the script, Director Yu knew that this matter was inseparable. "Then let Xiao Liang be your editor. Anyway, it's not the first time you two have cooperated."
Wei Ming naturally had no problem. Liang Xiaosheng was even happier. He could discuss literature with him while following Wei Ming. It is the so-called master of the achiever, and he has to learn.
Just because Wei Ming was invited to the Children's Er Yingchang and delayed for a while, when he came out, he happened to meet Gong Ying who returned from outside on a bicycle.
The two greeted each other like ordinary friends, and then winked at each other. Gong Ying understood that he said don't meet at night, meet at noon.
So not long after Wei Ming left, Gong Ying also rode to Tuanjiehu.
Going upstairs and opening the door, Wei Ming had already pulled the curtains, hugged Sister Xue, and then hugged the light her directly onto the sofa.
"When did you come back?" Wei Ming asked.
"Back for three or four days. How about you?"
"Returned yesterday, but no one answered the phone, so I went to the Beijing Er Yingchang today."
"I went to CCTV for a meeting in the morning," Gong Ying explained to him, "A meeting for "Journey to the West"."
"Oh, what did you talk about?"
Gong Ying said: "It's just talking about the filming plan, but it actually has little to do with me. I just happened to have time, so I went to see it. The director and the others have traveled all over most of China in the past few months, and the important locations have already been selected. Next month, they are preparing to shoot the trial episode. It has nothing to do with me either. I only have one episode of scenes."
"Has the role you play been determined?"
"Hmm, Xuanzang's mother Yin Wenjiao. I feel like I'm becoming a professional mother." Gong Ying pouted her little mouth helplessly, and Wei Ming kissed her uncontrollably.
In the original version, this role should be played by Yu Qiuyu's wife Ma Lan, who is also a beauty.
Gong Ying said again: "I also saw the actors playing Tang Seng and his disciples at the meeting this time. I know Tang Seng, and Sun Wukong is from Shaoxing. I have heard of his father's name."
It seems it is still the Six-year-old teacher. Although he is very young and even hid the fact that he was highly nearsighted, his acting talent is really good. At first, he was a bit raw, but later he acted better and better. Besides Sun Wukong, he also created many classic roles in later generations.
"Today Teacher Wang Xizhong also went to the meeting with me. They also discussed the makeup plan. It sounds like it's quite difficult, especially Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie," Gong Ying said again.
Wei Ming smiled: "When I have time, I will go over to guide it."
The makeup of the trial episode is indeed not very good, much stiffer than the formal filming later. This is also an important reason why the trial episode was not officially used. Although Wei Ming is not a professional special effects makeup artist, he still has some advanced experience to share.
Gong Ying thought Ma Xiaowei was in a hurry to do that thing, so she let herself come back at noon, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was not very anxious.
She is really cheap. He didn't rush over, but she felt a bit lost instead.
Wei Ming said: "Let's go, let's go to a place."
"Oh, it's this time? Don't you want to take a nap?" she hinted. She knew Wei Ming had the habit of taking a nap.
"It's not too late to take a nap when we arrive."
Wei Ming took Gong Ying to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang. After entering, Wei Ming gave her the key in his hand.
"Keep it well, your home key."
This is the first house Wei Ming bought for Gong Ying in Yanjing. After cleaning it up, it is very beautiful, quiet and exquisite, making Gong Ying like it so much that she doesn't know where to start looking.
Passing through the outer courtyard and entering the inner courtyard, Gong Ying first saw the swimming pool.
Wei Ming smiled: "I can't wait for summer to come early now. By then, I will teach you two dog paddling."
"You'd better dog paddle yourself. I can swim," Sister Xue said proudly.
Wei Ming held her hand, took her to see room by room, and introduced the functions of these houses.
When they reached the study, Gong Ying first noticed the computer.
Sister Xue asked: "Why is this TV so strange, and why is it put in the study?"
Wei Ming pressed the host switch: "This is not a TV. This is much more expensive than a TV."
He introduced the computer and boldly predicted the importance of this thing in the future.
"After Peking University develops the Chinese card, you and Sister Lin can learn it," Wei Ming suggested.
At their age, when the children grow up, it will just be the time when the Internet rises. They can chase dramas and brush posts online, and life will be enriched all at once.
When they reach the age of bringing grandchildren, they can still catch up with the smartphone era. By then, they will have to teach them themselves.
"What can it do?" Gong Ying asked seriously.
Wei Ming: "The current functions are relatively limited. Programmers can use it for programming, and I can use it to write novels. However, it can only write English novels at present. Let me demonstrate it for you."
He opened a document and wrote a paragraph directly on it. He had already tried it when he was in the United States, and now his hand feel has recovered a lot.
"I will ask my friends in the United States to get me a printer later. After connecting to the computer, the manuscript can be printed directly."
Watching Wei Ming create English works with the keyboard as easily as using his mother tongue, Gong Ying admired her own man even more.
Although she is also learning English, she is far from reaching this level, which is the level of simple communication.
Because the "Marco Polo" crew was in the Beijing Er Yingchang guest house, Gong Ying tried to communicate with foreigners, but couldn't communicate at all. Later, she found out that those people were speaking Italian or Italian-style English, and everyone had an accent.
"Tell me more about the United States?" Gong Ying became curious.
Wei Ming: "Just right, come with me."
He pulled Gong Ying into the darkroom here, and the two looked at pictures and talked while washing photos.
"This is participating in a Chinese Film Festival at California State University, Northridge. Guess who I met there?"
"Who?"
Wei Ming gave her the developed photo.
"Ah, Chen Chong!" Gong Ying was surprised, and at the same time a bit worried. She had seen Chen Chong. Regardless of how she looked, she was really young, the same age as Ma Xiaowei.
Wei Ming introduced again: "This is Cheng Long. Do you remember?"
"Oh, he acted in "Drunken Master"?" Gong Ying had some impression, having watched the videotape Wei Ming brought back. "Seems to be a very powerful big star in Hong Kong, right?"
Wei Ming whispered to Sister Xue: "There is also a number internationally. One morning, I saw Chen Chong coming out of Cheng Long's room."
"Ah?!"
