Chapter 150: Heartbeat
After Lin Mingyang took a shower, he found that there were three missed calls on his mobile phone, and he called the same number three times, although it was a stranger's call, Lin Mingyang still replied, and as soon as the phone was connected, the person over there asked: "Are you Felix Lin?" ”
Lin Mingyang was stunned on the spot, how could a person who knew his number ask such a stupid question, and then he heard Green-Nart's voice, and he seemed to reprimand a few words on the other end of the phone, which made him lean the phone to his ear.
"Felix, I found it, I found the novel you said!" Green-Nat excitedly shouted into the phone: "I just finished reading a novel called "Heartbeat", very cute and loving, but this is a novel published in 01, have you read this novel earlier than me?" ”
Lin Mingyang hadn't read the novel, but he had seen the movie adapted from the novel, and he remembered such a scene, and after Green-Nutter's reminder, his whole train of thought suddenly became clear.
These clues were enough, and Lin Mingyang didn't want to discuss it with Green-Nat, so he diverted the topic: "Who is this phone called, there seems to be a woman's voice over there?" ”
"I'm really betting with a couple of women, I said I know you, they don't believe it, I guess at this point they think I'm looking for a guy to impostor, okay, don't talk to you anymore, I'm going to continue the bet with them, I really wish I had a DV with me, so I can post her naked on YouTube, I think the clicks must be high." Although he still didn't understand the situation on his side, Lin Mingyang could also imagine the triumphant expression of Green-Nat when he said it on the phone.
"Don't worry!" Lin Mingyang was wondering, and Green-Nut suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I actually just wanted to borrow a phone at the beginning, and now that the purpose has been achieved, I will delete your number from the communication record later, so that those women will never want to know your number!" ”
Before Lin Mingyang could reply, the "scratcher" hung up the phone. Lin Mingyang didn't bother to pay attention to what Green-Nut wanted to do, he put down the phone and immediately went online, quickly searched for relevant information about the novel "Heartbeat", and finally found the contact information of the original author.
Lin Mingyang picked up the phone and dialed according to that number, and after the phone was connected, he couldn't wait to ask, "Is it Ms. Wendelin?" ”
"Who are you?" The voice of a middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone was slightly hoarse, but there was a smell of knowing the surname.
"I'm Felix Lin, the guy who does movies in Hollywood!" Lin Mingyang scratched his head and explained that he realized that his call was a little abrupt, but fortunately, the other party didn't seem to mind.
Still in that gentle tone, Ms. Wendelin on the other end of the phone asked softly, "I'm curious, why do you use the self-name 'guy'?" ”
"Don't you suspect that I'm impersonating?" The other party easily accepted Lin Mingyang's identity, which surprised him, he originally thought that it would take a lot of words to gain the trust of the other party.
"Why be suspicious... Isn't communication based on mutual trust? Ms. Wendelin was afraid that Lin Mingyang would misunderstand, so she specially added, "My youngest daughter and I are both fans of yours, and all your movies should be dubbed in the original voice, so my voice is familiar to me." ”
"Please say hello to your daughter on my behalf." The doubts in Lin Mingyang's heart disappeared, "Ms. Wendelin, I want to talk to you about your novel called "Heartbeat"..."
"In the name?" Ms. Wendelin asked quickly.
"I want to make it into a movie!" Lin Mingyang's answer was very direct.
"It should be my pleasure." Ms. Wendelin's tone did not make Lin Mingyang feel that special joy, and it was still a very flat tone: "I just watched your new film "Three Fools", because I was very interested in this story, and then I found the original novel, and then I found that your script adaptation is very thoughtful. I'd love to know, what would you think of my novel? ”
"Although the theme of the novel revolves around the age of innocence and young first love, I think the most interesting thing about the story is a technique of alternating and switching narratives, through your delicate textual expression, people can clearly feel that there are so many differences, contradictions, and even gaps in the same world in the eyes of girls and boys."
"After reading your novel, I suddenly understood why some people say that boys are from Venus and girls are from Mars. It is precisely this difference that adds a humorous atmosphere to the story, allowing many heavy and serious things to unconsciously sink into the hearts of every reader in a friendly manner. ”
"The beauty of this novel lies not only in the touching hearts of pure love, but in the growth story experienced by two boys and girls who are not deeply involved in the world and have transparent and clear vision, I found the beauty of youth, the touching of life, and the simplicity that we scattered everywhere."
"The subtle mood of a girl will always misinterpret the boy's euphemistic refusal affectionately, thinking that it is a sign of the boy's late maturity and shyness; Until the two enter junior high school, the girl gradually matures and experiences the cutting down of her beloved sycamore tree, but she can't get the boy's help; The indifference of the boy's family throws away the eggs that the girl kindly sent; And the boy's public ridicule of his mentally retarded uncle! The girl seems to understand what her father said to her when she was young: a beautiful picture is not just made up of a few simple parts, you should see the whole! ”
"One of the stories that impressed me the most in the whole novel was the girl's love for the plane tree. By chance, the girl climbed this vibrant, solid and calm, but seemingly ordinary tree; The more you climb, the more beautiful scenery there is in front of the girl; Put yourself on the top of a Pingchuan River, in order to appreciate the magnificence of life and the far-reaching of your heart; It is a suffocating beauty of the world, a grandeur that is beyond our reach! The breeze blows through the girl's charming cheeks, and she is alone to appreciate the vigorous natural changes, watching the wind surge, and appreciating the rise and fall! ”
"A plane tree allows Julie to see the whole picture of this 'world' clearly, and the most beautiful scenery is in full view. She is obsessed with this kind of freedom and enjoyment that encompasses everything and perceives everything. It was this ill-fated plane tree that made Julie re-recognize Bryce, and the plane tree was like Julie's wait for the little bitter love in her heart, and when it finally fell, love also fell. No matter how beautiful things are, there will be a day when they will disappear, and if you stop and stay stupidly, you will only get deeper sadness and hardship. Bravely wipe away tears, bury the past, and embark on a journey of search again, and beauty may be at some inadvertent corner. ”
"Because there was a real thing happening around me, a girl who lived on a plane tree for a week in order to protect it from being cut down. Sadly, her efforts did not pay off, and she cried very sadly when she came down from the tree. This reminds me of a fragment from your novel. ”
"I don't know if that girl has a father like the heroine in the novel. He gave his daughter an eternal plane tree after the world took away her big plane tree, and the sum of the parts he gave her was not necessarily equal to the whole, and he insisted on being poor but giving everything to take care of his disabled brother. The most important thing is that he let his daughter realize that poverty is not the most terrible thing, and he cultivated the most beautiful spring in the world in her daughter's heart! ”
"I don't know if the girl in reality knows that the sum of the whole is greater than the part, and I don't even know if there is a person in her life who, when she sees it at first sight, feels that he is different from anyone she has met, maybe his eyes or his hair, in short, his body is shining; Is there anyone who will make her worry about it but don't even have the courage to speak, even if she talks incoherently and doesn't know what to do, and then scolds herself for being a fool. ”
"I'm not sure if all of you have read your novels as much as I have and understood that in this world, 'some people are shallow, and some people are extraordinary.' Someday, you'll meet someone who's as gorgeous as a rainbow... When you meet this person, you will feel that other people are just floating clouds', maybe wonderful love only exists in novels, but this heart-pounding feeling is extremely evocative, so I want to make it into a movie, so that more people can share this pure beauty of happiness and touch. ”
Lin Mingyang's mind kept fluttering, jumping from one fragment to another very quickly, this kind of recollection was lovely, tempting, like kissing his lips to mellow, making people feel drunk, a kind of drunkenness for beauty filled his whole thoughts.
Most of the time, he was excitedly expressing his thoughts, and then the other party was quietly listening. Lin Mingyang's narration made Wendelin on the other end of the phone feel like a bosom friend.
In fact, after the publication of the novel "Heartbeat", there have been directors who want to adapt this novel, but these people have been rejected by Wendelin one by one, their purpose is not as pure as Lin Mingyang, and their understanding of this novel is not like Lin Mingyang, who can have a strong resonance with her in terms of understanding.
Lin Mingyang felt very special to Wen Delin, although this was the first call between the two, she always felt that Lin Mingyang and herself were like friends who had known each other for many years. This strange feeling still haunted Wendelin after the call, and perhaps it was time to adapt the novel into a movie.
