A widower's entertainment

Chapter 207 [The power of the screenwriter]

It can be said that the novels published by Lin Youcheng have been quite popular among literary youth since the first "Love at the Hawthorn Tree". Especially after those three love novels, Lin Youcheng, a widower writer, can It is said that he is well-known in the domestic literary world, especially for winning the Mao Dun Literary Award for his novel "Wonderful Things in the World", which truly established Lin Youcheng's certain status in the literary world.

The war tetralogy that followed made Lin Youcheng astonished the literary world. You must know that these four war stories are the foreshadowing of "The Curious Events of the World", and after this war tetralogy, the "Tengu" brought more It has amazed countless readers.

Because Lin Youcheng's works have been made into movies one after another, and each one is quite popular. Naturally, film directors come to Lin Youcheng and want to talk about Lin Youcheng's novels that have not yet been adapted.

To some extent, this is also the reason why director Hou Xiaoxian of Baodao won the Palme d'Or for his film "The Devotion of Suspect X".

It can be said that this time, other film directors have really seen the power of adapting movies from Lin Youcheng's novels. Naturally, other ambitious directors want to see the possibility of watching Lin Youcheng's other works.

Even if the plot of the novel is sensitive, it will naturally make the director excited.

Like "My Captain, My Regiment", or "Bright Sword", of course, the ones that most excited the director are the Mao Dun Literature Award-winning "Wonderful Things in the World" and the newly released "Tengu".

For example, people from Xi'an Film Studio came to ask about the film adaptation of "Tengu".

Director Wu Tianming had filmed Lin Youcheng's "Hawthorn Tree Love", but he didn't expect that this time he came to the capital to talk to Lin Youcheng about the film adaptation of "Tengu", but the Bayi Film Studio had already taken the lead.

"I didn't expect that Bayi Film Studio would take the lead here. It's really a pity. I liked your "Tengu" very much when I first read it. It's a pity that I couldn't come to discuss film cooperation as soon as possible."

Hearing what Director Wu Tianming said, Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "If the cooperation doesn't work out this time, there will definitely be opportunities later."

Wu Tianming nodded and said, "Of course I hope to cooperate with you again, Lin Youcheng."

"Director Wu, I am also looking forward to your next work, Director Wu."

"I'm now the producer of that 'Red Sorghum' movie."

Few people know that director Wu Tianming is actually the producer of "Red Sorghum". Of course, this is also because Zhang Guoshi is the leading actor in "Old Well" filmed by Wu Tianming.

Wu Tianming looked at Lin Youcheng and said: "Next time we collaborate, I would like to ask you to be the screenwriter. The script you wrote for "The Wind" is very exciting."

"I also heard that you have written a TV series version of "The Wind". It seems that it will be broadcast on Beijing TV Station soon?"

"Yes."

Lin Youcheng nodded, he had already heard about this from Zheng Xiaolong.

It can be said that the broadcast of the TV series "The Wind" has attracted a lot of attention, because both the novel and the movie are very popular. Now there is a TV series version of "The Wind", which naturally makes the industry and the audience very curious about whether it will be filmed. How about it.

Movie Pearl is ahead, and the mystery of who the old ghost is has been revealed. Naturally, they are all curious about why Beijing TV Arts dared to remake the TV series version of "The Wind".

Then, the viewers of Beijing TV Station were shocked.

Especially after several consecutive episodes, the plot becomes more and more brain-burning, exciting and thrilling.

Originally, the novel "The Wind" is not comparable to a simple spy war, but uses spy war as an entry point, and then repeatedly mixes suspense, thriller, and personal reasoning. The theme also casts profound issues about the good and evil of human nature, symbols of faith, and the spirit of the times. It is for this reason that "The Wind" is considered to be the highest spirit of serious literature. The literary world has given comments that it has strong narrative power, explores human heights, and opens up a unique spiritual dimension for contemporary novels. The movie became a sensation across the country. Under such a premise, no one expected that the TV series version of "The Wind" would completely leave the audience unable to guess the answer to the mystery. It can even be said that they have no idea what will happen next.

Because the TV series "The Wind" is not simply grafted and perfunctory, the play also makes a lot of literary designs in details.

This is a new interpretation of the drama version of "The Wind" reviewed by "Wen Wei Po". The plot is thrilling. The old ghost is probably not Gu Xiaomeng. The key plot is full of details.

"In the play, when everyone walked into the Qiuzhuang Hall for the first time, Li Ningyu recognized the huge relief as the screen of hell. This seemingly understated plot is actually full of profound meaning.

Because the story of "Hell Transformation" tells the story of the painter Yoshihide who, in pursuit of the supreme realm of art, even though he knew that Grand Duke Horikawa had set a trap, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his daughter to complete the creation of the "Hell Screen Picture". "Hell Transformation" is a very dark metaphor. In the play, Li Ningyu saw the screen picture of hell and told the story briefly. Seemingly unintentional, it revealed the tragic intention of the play and laid the foundation for the subsequent twists and turns. Foreshadowing. "

"The interrogation in the fifth episode is based on the structure of the movie "Rashomon", and it is also based on the cross-reasoning method of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's novel "In the Bamboo Forest". Another example is when the five people in Qiuzhuang passed the first round of voting, Ryukawa Feiyuan was extremely disappointed, so he told Wang Tianxiang a story. "

"That story is "Spider Thread" by Akutagawa Ryunosuke. The story is also quite a dark fairy tale. The story uses a spider thread to connect heaven and hell. It tells the story of a criminal who used spider thread to escape from hell, but had difficulty escaping from hell. The enemy's compassion once again fell into boundless hell."

"Actually, the most amazing thing about screenwriter Lin Youcheng of the play is that every character is so complete. For example, Ryukawa Hihara, he is not just a standard villain, but also a being who has literary beliefs, philosophical speculation, and the unity of knowledge and action. Activists."

"It is not difficult to see from the metaphor of "Spider Silk" mentioned earlier that Ryukawa is a fan of Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and even in the interrogation reasoning, he has always believed in using Akutagawa's language style to prove that he is a spy. There is also the existence of the self.”

"So these details are enough to see the full and profound literary index of the play, such as Ryunosuke Akutagawa from the above interpretation. But other details are ignored and are full of more metaphors."

"And when Li Ningyu felt sorry for herself, she would casually say the line from Wang Guowei's "Huanxi Sand": Occasionally, the sky looks down at the world of mortals, and the body is pitiful for the person in the eyes, and the narrator recalled the line from Li Jinfa's "Youfei": Like autumn leaves splattered with blood On our feet, life is the smile on death's lips."

"Of course, these clever integrations of literature not only make the play full of the literary and artistic tone of the Republic of China period, but also inadvertently enrich the characters."

"For example, Li Ningyu's speech seems meaningless, but in fact it subtly makes the characters more plump. If we say that in Lin Youcheng's novel, Li Ningyu is a flag, an idealist who sacrifices for the revolution regardless of gender."

"It can be said that based on these seemingly trivial literary constructions, the play is actually shaping the most authentic context of the Republic of China, so they will choose poems from that time and define language situations for everyone. For example, Jin Shenghuo is an older generation who is obsessed with Shakespeare. Bai Xiaonian grew up in Jianghu. He is familiar with Pinghua and Tanci. She has a foundation in poetry but does not like to speak out. She is also a true example of Miss Kong Er in the Republic of China.

"In fact, although the TV series "The Wind" is a spy film, it inherits the essence of reasoning in form. As we all know, reasoning is based on logic. Most cases originate in closed spaces. It is famous for its treacherous settings and reversals. , the purpose is to find the real murderer in a known environment.”

"During the whole reasoning, the audience feels like they are in a trap. On the one hand, they are expecting the truth, but on the other hand, they are hoping that their expectations will be disappointed and they can escape. Under this dilemma, the drama is so tense that people don't even dare to breathe. They have to The writer Lin Youcheng is really amazing!"

……

It is this kind of review article that can be said to have ignited the already popular TV series "The Wind".

It really is a completely unexpected "Wind", a completely different "Wind".

Screenwriter Lin Youcheng really shocked countless viewers, so shocked that their scalps were numb, that he could actually write a completely different "The Wind".

Who is this old ghost?
This is the question that viewers want to know most right now.
