A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 177: The combination of literature and film! Warm knife vs. deadly knife! Can you withstand this wave?

Although it is not quite appropriate to compare humans to animals.

But in summary——

Whether it's a mule or a horse, can't you just take it out for a walk?
In fact, Jiang Hai doesn’t care about these so-called doubts at all. To him, these doubts can only be regarded as insignificant.

Do you want to ask whether Jiang Hai plagiarized?
Yes, he did plagiarize.

But his plagiarism and the plagiarism that people talk about are not the same thing at all.

"Jiang Hai, tell the teachers the truth, were "Butterfly Lovers" and "The Injustice of Dou E" completed by you alone?"

"Did you draw on or imitate other scripts or plays?"

In response to the inquiry from the principal Fang Zhenguo, Jiang Hai also gave a concise and direct answer:
"I copied it."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Even he himself admitted it, so doesn't that mean Jiang Hai is definitely plagiarizing?
A plagiarist was not only regarded as a role model by Chengxi, but was also widely publicized in public media. If this matter were to spread.
Wouldn’t the century-long reputation of Chengxi be destroyed in an instant?
Just when everyone was talking about it.

Principal Fang Zhenguo frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, and he immediately asked:

"Who did you copy?"

Faced with this crucial question, everyone held their breath and turned their eyes to Jiang Hai.

Jiang Haitai responded calmly and naturally:

“Every article I copied and every word I wrote all came from the world in my dreams.”

"The world in dreams?" Everyone frowned when they heard this answer.

When writers write, what they always pay attention to is inspiration.

When every writer writes a story, he or she will build a huge world in his or her mind. For the writer himself or herself, all the characters and plots in this world are real.
Only if you firmly believe that the words you write exist in another world, can the characters you create through these words be fleshed out and impressive.

"The article comes from your dream world, so what's the difference between it and what you wrote yourself?"

And regarding the doubts of everyone present.

A few traces of memories also appeared in Jiang Hai's eyes:

"In my dream world, you can say that I am plagiarizing because the articles I write exist in that illusory and beautiful world. What I am doing now is just recording everything that happened in the dream in the form of words."

“But in this world, no one can accuse me of plagiarism, because the articles I wrote do not belong to this world.”

Jiang Hai's words left everyone at the scene confused.

Are you saying that Jiang Hai admits to plagiarism?
Yes, he admitted that he plagiarized, but what he plagiarized was the world in his dream.

Are you saying that Jiang Hai didn't plagiarize?
Then he repeatedly admitted that these articles were indeed not written by him.
Sometimes he says he copied, sometimes he says he didn't.

What are you trying to do?

Fang Zhenguo, the principal of Chengxi Opera, thought for a while before he realized:
“Isn’t this still uncopied?”

If, as a creator, I record the pictures I have constructed in my mind in the form of words, and if this is also considered plagiarism.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t plagiarize?
The world's articles are full of plagiarism, and Jiang Hai's words are nothing more than an admission:
"I copied it."

“But I copied from the Xinhua Dictionary.”

After confirming the key point of [not plagiarizing], the next thing to do is how to prove it yourself?

It's harmless to argue with people on the Internet, but if you want to get rid of the suspicion of academic misconduct, you still need solid evidence.

After all, Jiang Hai, as an undergraduate student, and an undergraduate who has not yet graduated, single-handedly wrote classic works such as "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "The Injustice of Dou E" that can be regarded as a model of drama. This thing is indeed a bit too shocking.
Jiang Hai's response to this kind of questioning is very simple:
"Why don't you just let me write another "Butterfly Lovers" and that will be it."

The way to break the doubt is very simple, that is to use absolute strength——

Shut up the haters!
For a classic drama like The Butterfly Lovers, writing one book might be accidental, writing two books might be coincidental, but if I write the third, fourth, and even fifth book continuously,
Can I still learn from this book?

Can I still be considered plagiarizing?

Similar to the type of scripts of classical folk dramas, "Butterfly Lovers" and "The Injustice of Dou E" are already the most classic works. No matter how hard Jiang Hai tries, he will probably not be able to surpass his predecessors.

Since the previous work can no longer be surpassed, it is better to open up a new track.

Therefore, Jiang Hai will focus his next work directly on folk drama rather than film and television scripts.

“What kind of script should I write?”

Regardless of whether it is drama, play, or script, there are indeed significant differences among the three based on the subject matter.

However, no matter how things change, they still have certain similarities.

On his way back to the dormitory, Jiang Hai's eyes showed some thoughtfulness:

“Literature and film, these two things can actually communicate with each other.”

It is not uncommon for writers to create film and television scripts while writing.

For example, Jia Pingwa, the chairman of the Writers Association, has participated in the adaptation and creation of film and television scripts in his life, including but not limited to:

"Wild Mountains", "Villagers", "Wu Kui", "Swimming Until the Sea Turns Blue", etc.
As for Mr. Liu Zhenyun, who has a considerable influence in the contemporary literary world, he is also a frequent guest in the adaptation of scripts in the film and television industry. A series of popular and well-received film scripts such as "Cell Phone", "A Place of Feathers", "My Name is Liu Yuejin", "1942", and "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" are all written by Mr. Liu Zhenyun.
To some extent, the scripts that the writer participated in adapting are actually somewhat similar to his own writing style?

Mr. Jia Pingwa is a representative writer of rural literature, so the film scripts he participated in adapting mostly focused on describing the daily life of farmers in Daxing, northwest China.

Liu Zhenyun is a representative writer of neo-realism. He is good at combining absurdity with reality, so the movie scripts he adapted are often filled with some bizarre jokes in the serious plot.
"Each writer is good at different subjects. I can't just follow the trend blindly. I should find my own writing style." Jiang Hai started thinking about his own strengths while walking back to the dormitory. "What is my writing style? What am I good at?"

“The only thing I’m good at seems to be knives.”

Whether it is online literature, traditional literature, or drama, Jiang Hai has always insisted on only one focus -

That's depressing!
That's the knife man!
Therefore, even from traditional literature to the field of film and television scripts, Jiang Hai does not intend to give up his creative concept that he has adhered to for so long.

"What movie can satisfy my desire to kill people and make the audience cry at the same time?"

After thinking about it, Jiang Hai thought of the semi-sequel to the healing and heartwarming movie he had just taken on a few days ago.

Hachiko, the loyal dog!

"Hachiko: A Dog's Story" seems to be a good choice indeed. Jiang Hai took out his key and walked up to the dormitory building, thinking secretly in his mind, "It's healing enough, warm enough, and tear-jerking enough."

“But if it’s just a movie called Hachiko, that might not be enough?”

Jiang Hai was thinking frantically in his mind, thinking about what kind of script to write that would not only prove his ability but also impress the audience.

As soon as I opened the dormitory door, I saw the fat man packing his things in large and small bags.

Seeing the fat man busy and happy, Jiang Hai was stunned:
"What are you doing?"

As the fat man stuffed clothes into the suitcase, he looked at Jiang Hai cheerfully:
"I'll pack up and send some luggage home first. After I finish my last exam next week, I'll be ready to go home."

Time is like a running train, always slipping away silently. In a blink of an eye, the second year of college is over, and when school starts again two months later——

Jiang Hai was promoted directly from sophomore to junior, and from a young and handsome boy to an old and cured man.

Although the so-called plagiarism scandal has been making a lot of noise on the Internet these days, it actually has not affected Jiang Hai at all.

He still eats, drinks and sleeps as usual every day.

It can be said that I am having a great time.

After the final exam of their major course, Jiang Hai and the other two huddled in their dorm room, playing games together again, a rare occasion.

It's a relief from the stress during this period.

Chu Tianjiao was still arrogant when playing games:
"I don't know how to lose in the early stage, I don't know how to win in the middle stage, and I don't know who has no points in the late stage"

After losing seven games in a row, [Miracle Walker] once again won the super ghost record with 0/19/4, and Jiang Hai was directly broken by Chu Tianjiao:

"I'm going to play a game with you again, I'm a dog"

There are very few people who can ruin Jiang Hai Dao's heart, and Chu Tianjiao is one of the very few in this world.

The purpose of playing games is to relax, so how come the pressure increases the more you play?

"Brother Hai, what are your plans for the holiday? Are you going home?" Yang Wei threw the earphones on the table and looked at Jiang Hai sincerely, "Do you want to come over to my house and play?"

"We have a resort over there where you can travel and take a bath. I guarantee you'll have a great time."

In fact, Jiang Hai originally planned to go back home during the holidays. After all, he had been away from home for a long time, and he really missed his mother after not being home for a long time.

But this sudden plagiarism storm
It disrupted his plans!
Something like a script is not something he can write overnight.

The road to proving one's innocence is also very long.

Jiang Hai still has a lot of things to do, and he wants to take advantage of these two months to consolidate his basics and sort out his next writing plan.

"I won't go home. Teacher Tao found me a part-time job at the Cultural Center. I have to report to the Cultural Center later this afternoon."

The fat man turned his head and looked at Chu Tianjiao:

"Brother Chu, what about you?"

"What are your plans for the holiday?"

As a Sigma man, how could Chu Tianjiao waste his time on something as meaningless as traveling?
He put the headphones on his head without a second thought and swore a solemn oath on the spot:

"I will never go home unless I get gold!"

"I really don't believe it. I can't win."

In fact, Jiang Hai did not want to work at the cultural center. It was teacher Tao Chunfang who was afraid that he was under a lot of pressure during that time, so she used her personal connections to find a part-time job for Jiang Hai.

Going to work at the cultural center is not for work.

It's about experiencing life.

Before departure, Teacher Tao also specifically told Jiang Hai:

"Working behind closed doors is not suitable for our literary creation."

"Only by coming from the masses and going to the masses can we write outstanding works that are in line with the spirit of the times"

It was with this in mind that Teacher Tao found this part-time job for himself.

Jiang Hai readily agreed.

The original working time was 1:00 p.m., but Jiang Hai was deliberately late for an hour and a half and arrived at the entrance of the cultural center at 2:30 p.m.

But as soon as Jiang Hai stepped into the entrance of the cultural center, he discovered that in the hall -

Empty!
"I was supposed to go to work at one o'clock, but it's already half past two and the regular employees haven't come yet, and I'm the first one to arrive?"

When Jiang Hai saw this scene with his own eyes, he immediately understood -

He came to the right place!

“This is perfect for fishing.”

If you don't go to work to slack off, then all this will be meaningless.

Jiang Hai walked all the way from the door to the office and found a vacant place to sit down.

As soon as he turned on the computer, a flood of news came to him.

Among them, quite a few people were scolding him:
"Why are you pretending? You have the nerve to be a plagiarist? You have the nerve to scold Professor Huo Xuehai? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm really impressed. You're a scholar, but you keep swearing. How dare you call yourself a scholar?"

"Do you dare to send me an address? Let's have an offline battle. Do you really think no one can defeat you?"

"Jiang Hai, I."

I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me.

Jiang Hai habitually ignored the comments of these haters and very stubbornly signed his original personality:
【Facing the sea, wearing warm clothes and blooming flowers. 】

Decisively changed to:
【I am the father of all of you.】

The attack power is maximized!
After doing all this, Jiang Hai decisively turned off the communication software, then opened the half-written script of "Hachiko", and immediately began to think again:

"Apart from Hachiko: A Dog's Tale, is there any other script that can heal the audience at the same time?"

"Achieve my goal of stabbing someone?"

While Jiang Hai was thinking about it, an email from a Korean film and television company caught his attention:

[Dear Mr. Jiang Hai, this is Movie World Co., Ltd. We would like to discuss with you the film and television adaptation of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"]

Jiang Hai clicked on the email and found that the general meaning of the email was -

The long series of novels "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" has received a good response in South Korea. A film and television company called Eiga World Co., Ltd. wants to buy the film rights of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" for film and television adaptation.

It is certainly a very happy thing that the copyright of your novel is bought by a film and television company and they want to remake it into a movie.

However, Jiang Hai's attention was not on this matter at all.

"South Korea?" When Jiang Hai saw these two words, for some reason, a movie title suddenly popped up in his mind.

“It seems that The Crucible is also quite good.”
