Zhang Guiqin touched it herself and said, "It's okay, maybe it was blown by the wind."

Lin Chaoyang took out a thermometer and asked her to measure her temperature. Zhang Guiqin showed reluctance, "What's there to measure?"

"Measure it as you please!"

Zhang Guiqin was forced to put on a thermometer. Five minutes later, she saw that her fever had reached 39 degrees Celsius.

"Where have you been? Why do you have such a severe fever?" Lin Chaoyang asked with a frown.

Zhang Guiqin hesitated for a while before telling the truth.

It turned out that she went back last night and took a nap first, then got up at two or three in the middle of the night and went to Wangfujing Department Store to queue up until it opened at eight in the morning, and went in to snap up a lot of purchases.

Lin Chaoyang sighed helplessly: "Oh my God, can you save me some time? Do we need some cloth at home?"

"People say that if the authorities do this, it will be difficult to buy cotton and cloth in the future.

Am I thinking that if I buy more this time, I won’t have to worry about it in the future?”

Zhang Guiqin's thoughts represent the thoughts of the vast majority of ordinary people in this era. If you ask the ordinary people in the 1980s what impressed them most, "snatching for supplies" would definitely be at the top of the list.

The parallelism of the dual-track system in the 1980s made people immersed in anxiety about material shortages.

Lin Chaoyang looked at his mother and sighed again, "Don't do this again. Don't worry about food at home. Just tell me if there is anything missing."

He added: "The fever is already like this. Take some anti-fever medicine first. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital. Dondong, please leave it alone."

"It's okay. Even if you have a fever, you won't delay your work."

"Why don't you delay your work? Just take your medicine and lie down. There is nothing important at home."

Lin Chaoyang watched Zhang Guiqin take the medicine with a tough attitude, watched her go back to the room to rest, and finally shook his head helplessly.

This is not a problem of hard work. When can we change it?

By the middle of the month, Xie Jin came to Yanjing from Shanghai and brought good news to Lin Chaoyang. The film "Garland Under the Mountain" had been completed.

The film has been in preparation since the first half of last year. In the middle of the year, the crew went to Yimeng Mountain to experience life. It was not until the second half of the year that the filming started, and they went to Yunnan for filming. The filming took more than half a year.

The filming ended in August this year, and post-production is underway.

It can be said that Xie Jin worked hard for this work. Now that the film has been produced, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"After the movie is finished, why don't you just stay in Shanghai and come to Yanjing?" Lin Chaoyang asked him.

"You think I want to come? I have to review the film, and I also have to go to France to attend a film festival."

The film festival Xie Jin refers to is the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival held in Nantes, western France. This film festival was launched in 1979 by two French brothers, Alain Yarradu and Philippe Yarradu.

The so-called "three continents" are Asia, Africa and Latin America. It can be seen from this name that the position of the film festival is obviously Z-school.

Xie Jin is the only Chinese director invited to participate in this film festival, and the film festival has specially arranged a screening of his film.

Xie Jin's representative works such as "Stage Sisters", "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" and "Wrangler" will all be screened during the film festival, which can be said to be a very high honor.

Xie Jin looked proud when he talked about this.

As for the film review, before Xie Jin came to Yanjing, "Garland Under the Mountain" had already undergone internal review by the Shanghai Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Bureau. Both the studio leaders and the film bureau leaders gave the film a high rating.

evaluation.

This time Xie Jin came to Yanjing for review by the Ministry of Culture.

"I'm going to review the film tomorrow. Come with me." Xie Jin said to Lin Chaoyang.

"What am I going to do?"

"There's nothing wrong with listening to everyone's opinions. Besides, don't you want to see the finished movie?"

When Xie Jin said this, Lin Chaoyang hesitated and said, "That's okay."

Early the next morning, Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin went to the screening room of the Film Bureau.

This time in Beijing, in addition to the director Xie Jin, Xu Sangchu, the director of the Shanghai Film Studio, also came. Xu Sangchu shook hands with Lin Chaoyang.

"Comrade Chaoyang, you have contributed two good books to our Shanghai Film Studio!"

"Director Xu, you're welcome."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Lin Chaoyang said hello to other people present.

Before Lin Chaoyang arrived, he had never imagined that the screening meeting for "Garland Under the Mountain" would be of such high standard. The Ministry of Culture sent Minister Ding Qiao, Director of the National Film Bureau Shi Fangyu and Film Bureau consultant Chen Bo to attend.

The army dispatched Liu Baiyu and Deputy Minister Li Ying from the Ministry of General Affairs and Culture, and the China Film Association also specially invited several authoritative figures in the cultural and film circles such as Chen Huangmei, Feng Mu and Zhong Lingpei.

Lin Chaoyang is the original author and screenwriter of "Garland Under the Mountain". Everyone present smiled when they saw him.

Feng Mu was the first heavyweight in the literary world to publicly praise the novel "Garland Under the Mountain", and he also had some friendship with Lin Chaoyang.

He said a few words to Lin Chaoyang, and then introduced him to Zhong Tingpi. Lin Chaoyang called him "Uncle Zhong", and Feng Mu asked curiously: "Where did the friendship between you two come from?"

Zhong Tangping said with a smile: "I heard our Acheng mentioned that he and Comrade Chaoyang are good friends, and he still received the guidance of Comrade Chaoyang when he wrote novels!"

Lin Chaoyang said modestly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Ah Cheng is talented in creation."

Li Ying, deputy director of the Ministry of General Affairs and Culture, laughed and said: "Speaking of which, Comrade Chaoyang and we are also members of the same family."

Feng Mu thought she was talking about Lin Chaoyang, who wrote popular military-themed works such as "Garland Under the Mountain" and was treated as a family by the army.

Li Ying shook her head, "No, no!"

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Li Ying said: "After the novel "Garland Under the Mountain" was written, I was still a little sensitive. Comrade Chaoyang happened to be related to Comrade Ruolin of our Yanjing Military Region, so I asked him to send it to our Ministry of Culture for review.

Later, it was published in the People’s Daily.”

Listening to Li Ying's explanation, Liu Baiyu whispered a few words to others. Some of these people knew about Du Ruolin before, and some didn't, but now they all know.

It turns out that Lin Chaoyang still has such a connection in the army. No wonder Lin Chaoyang was able to publish "Wreaths Under the Mountain" when he wrote it. This is something that ordinary writers cannot do.

After a while of greetings, everyone took their seats.

The lights in the projection room dimmed, and the beam of the projector hit the white curtain. Lin Chaoyang found that Xie Jin, who was sitting next to him, had a serious expression and was sitting upright. It could be seen that at this moment, his heart was full of tension and uneasiness.

"Garland Under the Mountain" is a film that he put 120,000 passion and dedication into. Although he was very confident in his creation, he was facing so many authoritative figures.

Even if you are a famous director, even if you have experienced film review scenes countless times, you will inevitably be nervous.

Compared to Xie Jin's nervousness, Lin Chaoyang was much more relaxed, partly because he was confident in the quality of "Garland Under the Mountain" and partly because he was just a screenwriter.

My novels and scripts are so good, but if your movie doesn't turn out well, it must be the director's fault.

The 140 minutes passed very quickly. As the last shot of "Garland Under the Mountain" ended, the picture on the screen disappeared and the lights were turned on.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats, some were sobbing, some were wiping their eyes, and some were still crying silently.

Liu Baiyu stood up and excitedly held Xie Jin's hand, saying repeatedly: "This movie is so well made! It's so well made!"

Feng Mu patted Lin Chaoyang's shoulder happily, "Chaoyang, the novel is well written and the script is also good. This movie will leave a mark in the history of Chinese film."

Ding Qiao, the Minister of Culture present today, is the person who can make the final decision. He also held Xie Jin's hand with an excited expression and praised him repeatedly.

""Garland Beneath the Mountain" is a rare and excellent film that is extremely touching and shocking!"

With Ding Qiao's words, it can basically be declared that "Garland Under the Mountain" has successfully passed the review process, and a huge stone fell in Xie Jin's heart.

After the film review meeting was over, he took Lin Chaoyang to have a drink.

Lin Chaoyang didn't want to go, so he asked him to find Chen Huaikai and Jiang Huaiyan.

"Lao Chen is busy making a movie. Lao Jiang is rushing to write the script. You are the only one who has time."

"Look for an old man."

"Lao Cheng has high blood pressure recently."

"You can harm me, a young and strong man, right?"

Lin Chaoyang finally had a drink with Xie Jin, during which Xie Jin chatted with him a lot about the filming experience of "Wreaths Under the Mountain" and the various ups and downs he encountered.

The movie successfully passed the censorship. Xie Jin felt particularly relaxed and chatted endlessly.

"I went to see "Curtain Behind the Curtain" the day before yesterday. Li Hanxiang's film was quite good. I heard that the box office was also very good."

"How's it going? Are you feeling stressed? A movie directed by Xiangjiang is said to have made tens of millions at the box office when it was released in the Mainland."

Xie Jin laughed, "What pressure do I have? You are the one who should be stressed. You wrote the script. If the box office is not good, it only means that your script is not good."

…

Xie Jin stayed in Yanjing for a few days and then left for France. Lin Chaoyang's writing progress was also delayed by him for two days.

Lao Xie has nothing wrong with him except his hobby of drinking, which is too much trouble for his friends!

Lin Chaoyang has been at home for more than half a month. He originally planned to go back to the library to work in the next two days, but he didn't expect that Xiao Dongdong also had a fever.

The child is eleven months old, and this is the first time he has caught a cold or fever. Lin Chaoyang and his wife have little experience and are in a hurry.

Not only Lin Chaoyang, but also Tao Yushu didn't care about going to work. She had been working for almost two years and this was the first time she asked for leave.

After staying up for three days, Xiaodongdong's body temperature finally dropped, and the couple was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Tao Yushu stood by the bed with red eyes, looking at his son's peaceful sleeping posture, and couldn't help but show a loving smile on his face.

Lin Chaoyang joked: "My son is almost one year old, and I have never seen you value him so much."

Tao Yushu rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean I don't value him? As a boy, you still want me to pamper him?"

The couple chatted for a while and were about to catch up on their sleep, when a guest came to the house.

"Du Rong, why are you here free?"

Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised to see Du Rong. He had always had a good relationship with his colleagues, but not many people came to his home as guests.

"Chaoyang, are you okay now? The curator said he wants you to go to the museum."

"What's up?"

"They said they were foreign friends who came to donate books. I heard that you work in the library and wanted to meet you."

Foreign friends?
Chapter completed!
