Although he has not experienced that era, Lin Xiaoguang has always been curious about the world of educated youth, and he likes everything with the theme of educated youth.

Moreover, there are not many scripts that can make Lin Xiaoguang have the impulse or ability to make a movie.

Obviously, "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" is such a script.

In the process of watching "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Lin Xiaoguang has slowly sketched the image of the heroine - "Jingqiu" in his mind, in his opinion, the actor who plays Jingqiu must be a pure and simple girl.

As for the choice of the actor - "the third child", Lin Xiaoguang has thought about it a long time ago, the so-called "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", last time he gave the role of Ke Jingteng in "Those Years" to Jing Boran, this time he can't make the same mistake again, otherwise he would rather not make this movie.

The sky was just dawning.

didn't care about having breakfast, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't wait to go to Chang'an Street in the capital, went to Huang Zhonglei's house, and explained his intentions to him.

Huang Zhonglei rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked at Lin Xiaoguang with some embarrassment: "Xiaoguang, I've read this book." ”

Lin Xiaoguang asked expectantly, "Really, what do you think? Can you shoot?"

Huang Zhonglei thought about it, and said bluntly: "Let's be honest with you, in fact, I and Xiaowan have read this book, and we both came to a conclusion at the same time." ”

Looking at Huang Zhonglei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly asked, "What conclusion?"

Huang Zhonglei said calmly: "We all think that this is a boring and boring book, and it is really badly written, so bad that I can't even read it......"

Lin Xiaoguang was not too surprised by Huang Zhonglei's evaluation, because when he read this book from the beginning, he felt similar to Huang Zhonglei.

Lin Xiaoguang said disapprehantly: "I think this book, in fact, is not so bad, there are still some merits." ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang did not give up, Huang Zhonglei said earnestly: "Xiaoguang, you have to think twice, as far as I know, this book is almost undesirable from language to subject matter to logic, and the only thing worth mentioning is probably the ridiculous and terrible sexual ignorance of that special era......"

After listening to Huang Zhonglei's analysis, Lin Xiaoguang immediately said excitedly: "Brother Zhonglei, your words are to the point, although the heroine Jingqiu is sexually ignorant, but ♂ the third protagonist is sexually omniscient, so I will focus on the interesting contrast between "ignorance" and "omniscience" in this play......

Listening to Lin Xiaoguang talk about "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in front of him, Huang Zhonglei knew very well in his heart that it was not easy to persuade Lin Xiaoguang, so he could only let him retreat and give up on his own initiative.

So, Huang Zhonglei paused, pretending to regret and said: "Xiaoguang, let me tell you some news, the copyright of this film has been bought by Director Zhang Jizhong, you just want to shoot it now, and you don't have a chance." ”

It turned out that long before Lin Xiaoguang, the copyright of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" had been coveted by many directors and producers.

Its film and television adaptation rights have also changed hands several times, from Zhang Guoguo to Liu Yunlong and others, all of whom have expressed their "extreme love" for this story.

Director Yin Lichuan even claimed that the establishment of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was basically completed, but later due to various internal and external factors, he had to give up and sold the copyright to Zhang Jizhong instead.

Moreover, the film and television copyright price of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was $100,000 that year, and although he felt that the asking price was too high, he was still reluctant to give up, which made the fans of the book anxious.

After someone heard the news that this eight characters had not yet been skimmed, they once said worriedly: "The bearded man will not let Li Yapeng play the third child......

"Brother Zhonglei, is the copyright with Director Zhang Jizhong? Are you sure it's Director Zhang Jizhong, not Director Zhang Yimou?" Lin Xiaoguang asked with some confusion.

Because Lin Xiaoguang remembers very clearly that this book was later made into a movie by the national teacher Zhang Yimou, and the heroes and heroines in the movie were Dou Xiao and Zou Dongyu respectively, not the bearded Zhang Jizhong.

Huang Zhonglei nodded: "Of course, Director Zhang Jizhong told me at the beginning of the year that he would spend $100,000 to buy the film and television rights of this book." ”

Lin Xiao couldn't figure it out, and said to himself: "This shouldn't be, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is not suitable for making a feature-length TV series at all, and it is almost the same as making a 100-minute movie." ”

Huang Zhonglei said casually: "I don't know about this, anyway, now the film and television copyright is in him, if you want the copyright, go and talk to him." ”

The reason why Huang Zhonglei said this was because he knew that Lin Xiaoguang and Zhang Jizhong had some unpleasant experiences, although they pretended to have nothing to do when they met.

But Huang Zhonglei, as a bystander, knows very well that Lin Xiaoguang has always disliked dealing with Zhang Jizhong, and Zhang Jizhong has not treated Lin Xiaoguang very well.

didn't have time to think about it, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't wait to say to Huang Zhonglei: "Brother Zhonglei, I will entrust you with this matter, you are the boss of our Huayi company, you have a big face, as long as you can help me get the film and television copyright, you can ask me to spend one million." ”

Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's impatient appearance, Huang Zhonglei knew that he had already gotten into his head, so he asked puzzledly: "Xiaoguang, I really can't figure it out, what's so good about this one? Why do you have to shoot it?"

"Otherwise, forget it, I'll find you another script. ”

Lin Xiaoguang said solemnly: "Brother Zhonglei, you believe me, as long as you can get the script into my hands, I will definitely shoot it well." ”

Huang Zhonglei saw that he couldn't beat Lin Xiaoguang, so he had to sigh: "Since you want to shoot so much, you have to give me a reason to convince me, right?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Zhonglei, in fact, I like this one very much, the spiritual connotation it presents. ”

Huang Zhonglei pretended to be dazed and asked, "Is this spiritual connotation? Why haven't I seen it?"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "Yes, its spiritual connotation is mainly reflected in two aspects. ”

"Yo, in order to make this movie, I made myself a philosopher. Huang Zhonglei smiled, and then said: "What are the two specific aspects? ”

Lin Xiaoguang also held back a smile and said seriously: "One is the true feelings of life and death, and the other is human nature in the political context. ”

Huang Zhonglei was silent for a moment before he said helplessly: "Okay, for your sake, I'll help you run errands, as for whether Director Zhang is willing to sell you the film and television copyright, it depends on your own attitude." ”

"After all, you and Director Zhang are both brothers of our Huayi Company, and you don't see you when you look up and look down on weekdays, so there is no need to make the relationship so stiff. ”

Lin Xiaoguang nodded knowingly: "Don't worry, Brother Zhonglei, I know what to do, in fact...... I don't have any deep hatred with Director Zhang. ”

Huang Zhonglei nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you can think so...... But there's one thing you have to promise me. ”

Lin Xiaoguang looked at Guang Zhonglei nervously: "What's the matter?"

Huang Zhonglei said: "If you really plan to make "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" into a movie, I hope you can choose the male and female protagonists from within our Huayi. ”

This time it was Lin Xiaoguang's turn to be embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Eh...... Brother Zhonglei...... There is no problem with the actor casting in our Huayi, as for the heroine...... I want to ......"

Huang Zhonglei pretended to be angry and said, "What do you want?"

Lin Xiaoguang swore and said: "Brother Zhonglei, the matter of the heroine, you asked me to think about it, to be honest, I don't dare to pack tickets now, but I will definitely use our company's artists as much as possible." ”

Huang Zhonglei understood the meaning of Lin Xiaoguang's words, although there are hundreds of star artists up and down Huayi Company, there may not be artists among them who meet the characteristics of the heroine.

"Okay, that's it, you must consider the actresses of our company, if you can't find it, I can help you choose. ”

After leaving Huang Zhonglei's house, Lin Xiaoguang became a little absent-minded, and all he thought about was the choice of the heroine.

You must know that in the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" directed by Zhang Yimou, the heroine is Zou Dongyu, although Zou Dongyu is not really good-looking, similar to a big yellow duck, but her performance in the movie is really pure as white paper......

It's just that although the actresses in this Huayi have their own merits, outstanding appearance, hot figures, coquettish temperaments, and outrageous positions, there is nothing to do, but there is no pure and lovely actress......
