A widower's entertainment

Chapter 278 [The Poet Never Died] (Subscription Request)
Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

The children in the family also know that their eldest sister Lin Zhaoxi is facing the high school entrance examination. Now they don’t pester Lin Zhaoxi to take them out to play after school. They even deliberately keep quiet at home and try not to disturb Lin Zhaoxi’s studies.

As a result, after school, Lin Zhaoqing, as the older brother, would naturally take his younger brothers and sisters to the old courtyard to play.

This is also why Lin Youcheng, as a father, does not pay special attention to his children's studies, but works hard to push them after school.

Lin Youcheng promised Zheng Xiaolong to write the TV drama script for "The Disguiser", so naturally he would not keep dragging it out. The main reason was that he felt embarrassed to keep dragging it out. After all, Zheng Xiaolong had mentioned it to him several times.

While Lin Youcheng was writing the TV drama script of "The Hidden", he actually had some other ideas in his mind, especially after he met the Dream Chaser Film and Television Company introduced by Zheng Xiaolong, which wanted to film his film "The Unforgettable Lovers", he also had some other ideas in his mind.

Especially since Lin Zhaomei also told him that he wanted to make movies in the future, which naturally made him, as a father, have some ideas. He still remembered that Lin Zhaomei once said that he wanted to make a movie and win the Palme d'Or. Although these were just childish words, Lin Youcheng was indeed considering a film and television company.

Of course, Lin Youcheng is also very clear that it is not that simple for the film industry to face a cold winter after this. They cannot just make movies. TV series may be better, especially with economic development. Every household has a TV, which is naturally the market for TV series. Otherwise, how could the film studios continue to decline?

Of course, this idea only appeared in Lin Youcheng's mind now. He also knew that it was not that easy to establish a private film and television company. Companies like the Haima Film and Television Company founded by Hai Yan and Mo Yan, and the Good Dream Film and Television Company founded by Wang Lu and Feng Kuazi were all gone.

Lin Youcheng shook his head and without thinking any more, he bent over his desk and wrote the TV drama script of "The Disguiser" for Zheng Xiaolong.

In fact, if he were to start a private film and television company, in addition to the future direction of film and television, perhaps the biggest advantage would be the scripts in front of him.

After writing the script for a while, Lin Youcheng stopped to take a break, stood up and stretched his body, then walked into the yard and saw Song Ma sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

Although it is already March, the weather is still cold and the leaves in the yard fall in the wind from time to time and need to be cleaned up.

Lin Youcheng was sighing as he thought about how it was already March without him noticing. Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he walked into the house.

Lin Youcheng looked at the calendar on the wall and was about to tear off the page when he thought that the date March 1989, 3, seemed to be somewhat close to that special day. His eyes froze slightly, and for a moment he didn't know whether the same thing would happen.

Such a thought flashed through Lin Youcheng's mind, and as he was thinking about it, he never expected that the person he was thinking of came to his door.

Lin Youcheng was very surprised that Cha Hailing actually came to him at this time.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin, why are you looking at me like that?"

Cha Hailing was a little confused. He didn't know what was wrong with the clothes he was wearing or where they were torn. He lowered his head to take a closer look but didn't find anything wrong.

Lin Youcheng looked at Cha Hailing in front of him, shook his head and said, "No, nothing."

Although Cha Hailing was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions. He directly took out the information he brought with him and handed it to Lin Youcheng, saying with a smile: "I specifically asked my friend for these materials. Isn't Zhaoxi going to take the high school entrance examination? These materials are said to be very good."

Hearing what Cha Hailing said, Lin Youcheng naturally took over and thanked him on behalf of Lin Zhaoxi.

Cha Hailing naturally didn't care much and smiled and waved his hand. After all, he had a good relationship with Lin Youcheng and the children in Lin Youcheng's family. He had received letters from these children all the way to the northwest before, and Cha Hailing remembered them very clearly. "I see that Zhaoxi's grades have always been very good. You don't have to worry. I don't think it's necessary to ask a teacher to tutor her in English."

Hearing what Cha Hailing said, Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "I'm not worried, but she wants to do better in the exam, and I can't stop her from studying."

Cha Hailing nodded. He knew very well that Lin Youcheng's children were all very sensible, especially the eldest daughter Lin Zhaoxi, who was the most sensible.

Because Cha Hailing came to visit, Song Ma on the other side also served tea to Cha Hailing.

Cha Hailing took the tea handed over by Lin Youcheng, saw the manuscript on Lin Youcheng's desk on the other side, and asked, "Are you writing a novel?"

"No, I'm writing the TV script for 'The Hidden'. Zheng Xiaolong has told me about it several times, and I can't keep putting it off."

Cha Hailing nodded. He had also read Lin Youcheng's "The Hidden Man" and liked it very much. He smiled and said, "The novel is very exciting. If it can be made into a TV series, it will definitely be great. Maybe it will be another "The Whistleblower"."

Obviously, Cha Hailing has also watched the TV version of "The Sound of Wind" and he likes the TV series written by Lin Youcheng very much.

Lin Youcheng naturally also hopes that Zheng Xiaolong can film the drama "The Disguiser" well.

Cha Hailing talked about the TV series "My Brothers and Sisters" which was broadcast this month, and said: "Your series "My Brothers and Sisters" is being broadcast on TV. I also watched it. The story is still very touching."

Lin Youcheng smiled, looked at Cha Hailing who was in good spirits sitting in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "How about you? How are you doing recently?"

"pretty good."

Although Cha Hailing was a little surprised that Lin Youcheng suddenly asked him this question, he still told the truth: "I am still considering the school. Recently, I have been sorting out some poems I wrote before and preparing to publish my own poetry collection."

"The publishing house has talked to me about this before. I think the poems in the collection need to be sorted out. It would be best if they could give me more time to write some new poems."

Listening to Cha Hailing talking about poetry, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but think of another time and space. On that day, March 1989, 3, the poet took the copy of "Walden" and walked to Shanhaiguan and chose to commit suicide.

Lin Youcheng thought so in his heart, looking at Cha Hailing's eyes with a smile in them, and couldn't help but say: "Stay for dinner tonight."

Cha Hailing didn't hesitate and nodded with a smile.

Obviously, Cha Hailing, who was sitting in front of him drinking tea and chatting about poetry, had not made that decision, or had not made the decision today.

No matter what happens tomorrow, at least the poet is not dead today.
