Chapter 70: Answer

The previous audition was just one of the tests, Lin Xiwen wanted to shoot "The Grand Event in Beiping", and he took great pains to invite an old literati like Hou Xiling to be the screenwriter, which obviously had a plan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The role of 'Cardamom' is very important, and he may not easily give it to himself because of his jerky performance.

Even if there was Gu Jiaer's phone call before, judging from the situation when Assistant Li persuaded him to take over "Erlang God's Pacification of the Human Rebellion", although Gu Jiaer's phone call had a certain effect, the effect was not big enough for him to release the role of 'Cardamom'.

But Jiang Se remembered what she had said in the first meeting with Assistant Li.

She once said that Lin Xiwen attached great importance to "Peking Event", and it took a lot of effort to invite Hou Xiling to write the script, and Hou Xiling has a lot of say in this movie.

And he likes readers who adore him and read his works carefully.

Thinking of this, Jiang Se glanced at Assistant Li standing beside Lin Xiwen out of the corner of his eye, and his expression became more cautious.

"That's my alumni. When Hou Xiling said this, he glanced at Jiang Se:

"Mr. Lin said earlier that Shangjia Company has prepared two movies for you, one of which has two characters, and there are a lot of lines and salaries, why did you finally choose 'Cardamom' in "Peking Event"?"

His eyes burned, staring at Jiang Se through the lenses of his reading glasses, waiting for Jiang Se's answer.

This question is very important, and if it is not answered well, no matter what Hou Xiling's previous impression of her is, it is very likely that Jiang Se will lose the qualification to compete for the role of 'cardamom'.

For a man like Hou Xiling, who has the temper of a literati, he has a pivotal position in the Chinese literary world.

Even if his works are not in the style that today's young people like, among the older generation of literati, many people think highly of him, and even some senior figures in the art industry have to call Hou Lao respectfully when they see him.

He is already in his old age, he has experienced storms in his life, and he has heard many flatteries and compliments.

Although Jiang Se was reborn, she was not very old before she was reborn, and it was useless to play small tricks in front of Hou Xiling, but it was just disgusting.

Lin Xiwen also raised his head when he heard Hou Xiling mention this issue.

Jiang Se turned many thoughts in his heart at this moment, and a little embarrassed look appeared on his face:

"To be honest, I didn't think about it that much at first, but I just saw that the screenwriter was you. ”

Hou Xiling didn't speak, Jiang Se's two sentences didn't make his expression change, he still smiled, waiting for Jiang Se's next words.

Although he likes to worship his readers, what Assistant Li did not say at the time was that he did not like readers who pursued blindly, but preferred to have spiritual exchanges and conversations with readers who could read his works.

In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Se's last performance, maybe he wouldn't have signaled Jiang Se to stay at all, let alone ask her these questions.

"The reason why my first reaction was to pick up "Peking Event" when I was still reading the script was because I knew that Mr. Hou was very old and had rarely released new works in recent years. ”

Hou Xiling thought about many reasons, and also guessed what Jiang Se might say, and thought that she might impress herself with the excellence of her work and the analysis of the character of 'Cardamom' in the play, but he didn't expect that Jiang Se would say such a thing.

"When you wrote 'The Autumn of the Year Before Last', in the text, when the protagonist Zhou Qingsong left the village at the very end, he said: 'Goodbye. ’。 She mentioned Hou Xiling's previous writings, Hou Xiling was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Se continued:

"When I saw this, I always felt that you were saying goodbye to readers who loved you through Zhou Qingsong's mouth, and I am afraid that I already had the intention of not writing at that time. ”

The smile on Hou Xiling's face slowly retracted, his expression gradually softened from apprehension, and Jiang Se's gaze also showed a bit of appreciation.

He didn't make a sound, just gestured and motioned for Jiang Se to continue.

"So when I saw that "Peking Event" was from you, I thought that this opportunity should not be missed. Jiang Se said this, since he was not politely interrupted by Hou Xiling, he proved that what he just said was not wrong, "As I said before, you are old, and there may not be many opportunities to publish works in the future, if I miss "The Grand Event of Beiping", I may be the whole person, and if I want to have the opportunity to participate in the interpretation of the stories of your characters in person, there may not be many opportunities." ”

As we all know, Hou Xiling has an extraordinary love for his works, and the copyright of his collection is all in his own hands and has not been sold out.

He didn't want his work to be put on the big screen and tarnish the characters in his play, so he would rather stay poor and refuse to write again.

The reason why he closed his pen, in addition to the fact that he was old and his body was gradually unable to bear it, was that he did not want to write for the sake of writing anymore.

If he loses a reader who knows him and understands what he wants to express in his book, then it will be meaningless for him to continue writing.

The older generation of writers has their own insistence, he is unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, that kind of pride is even engraved into his bones, he is not willing to compromise on reality, so this time Lin Xiwen of Shangjia Company really spent a lot of effort to invite him, lobbied him for a long time, and finally grinded Hou Xiling for nearly three years, and promised him many conditions, some of which are not suitable for outsiders due to family reasons in the Hou family, Lin Xiwen got his wish.

"I thought that in this century, few people may be able to understand what Zhou Qingsong said. Hou Xiling sighed, took off the glasses on his face, and handed Lin Xiwen a handkerchief on the side, and after he thanked him, he gently wiped his forehead and the corners of his eyes:

"Those who may know my state of mind are already those old guys, but I didn't expect to hear someone say this to me today. ”

With the development and change of current affairs, young people prefer fast food culture, and the works of the older generation have been submerged in the torrent of history.

Sometimes, even if you choose a few paragraphs from a textbook, students may not be able to grasp more.

When he wrote "The Autumn of the Year Before Last", he did have the intention of sealing the pen, and after writing for many years, he did not rely on the computer to type like today's young people, but wrote a number of books with a fountain pen and stroke by stroke, which caused great damage to the body and left many sequelae over the decades.

At that time, his body was already a little unbearable, and coupled with the disappointment of the gradual decline of traditional writers, he had such thoughts.
