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

Chapter 196 People are people, books are books! People and books don’t have to be confused! A good movie is about experiencing life!
The charm of movies lies in the fact that they can create a bizarre and colorful world for you through one exquisite frame after another.

In less than two hours, you can experience the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, separations and reunions of the characters in the play through the images shown to you by the camera.

The world-renowned film artist Hitchcock once thought:
“When you watch a good movie, you are experiencing a completely different life.”

There are all kinds of people in this world. Everyone has different experiences from childhood to adulthood and the level of education they receive is also different.

Not everyone likes literature, and not everyone loves reading.

If you give earnest advice to someone who doesn't like reading:

“You must study hard.”

Then he will just sneer and answer you decisively:

"Study? What a waste of time!"

So, is there any way to make those who don’t like reading fall in love with literature, pay attention to literature, and even be influenced by the words they write?

The answer is obvious.

Just let them watch a movie!

"You complain that reading is too slow, and you always feel like you can't concentrate."

"You should have the patience to directly summarize the content of the entire book in a two-hour movie."

When the news that Jiang Hai's original novel "The Crucible" was remade into a movie by South Korea spread on the Internet, it spread like wildfire.

Reactions varied.

Netizens who are familiar with the name [Jiang Hai] immediately remembered:

"Jiang Hai? Isn't he the writer who was accused of plagiarism by a Tsinghua professor some time ago? It hasn't been long since he was accused, and he already has a new movie coming out?"

"This speed is really efficient."

Tsinghua University, East Campus.

Near the auditorium.

The auditorium is a classical building that combines Roman and Greek styles. The Corinthian-style stone columns and spiral decorations on the tops of the columns carry the mood of late ancient Greece. The round roof in the Eastern Roman Byzantine style and the extensive arched doors and windows have the splendor and grandeur of Rome.

At this moment, Professor Huo Xuehai from the Academy of Drama, who had previously openly questioned Jiang Hai's plagiarism, was sitting on a stone bench in the auditorium, watching the news that "The Crucible" was adapted into a movie, and he immediately fell into deep thought.

"The Crucible, an original literary work adapted from real events and written by Chinese writer Jiang Hai, will be officially released in South Korea in the middle of this month."

"Original author: Jiang Hai."

"Film screenwriter: Jiang Hai."

"Literary Producer: Jiang Hai."

"Art Editor-in-Chief: Jiang Hai."

Jiang Hai really doesn't know how to make a movie.

But when it comes to the script, the lines of the characters, and the concept of the film, Jiang Hai’s main focus is to do it himself.
The main point is that no one can make money from me?

"How can this be so fast?"

Huo Xuehai was very confused.

Normally speaking, it takes at least one to three months, and at most one to two years, to polish a good movie script.

But look at the river and the sea.

It took one week to write the script, two weeks to submit the book, and three weeks to approve the film project. In less than four months, the film crew directly released the pre-sale news?

Is this speed a bit too fast?

You want to accuse someone of plagiarism?

There must be a limit to plagiarism.

If you can really churn out a script in a week at the efficiency of a script, regardless of whether it is plagiarized or not, this may require some real skills, right?
Just as Huo Xuehai was deep in thought about the news that "The Crucible" was adapted into a movie.

A question from a Beijing News reporter in the Film Weekly column caught his attention:

"Professor Huo, what do you think of Jiang Hai's new play "The Crucible"?"

As a professor at Tsinghua University, he is also an authority in the field of drama.

No one should know more about scripts than Huo Xuehai, right?

Generally speaking, the deeper and more profound a movie script is, the more time it needs to polish it.

Work slowly and work hard.

Success takes a long time.

Normally, the quality of a movie script should be proportional to the time it takes. If you want to complete a script efficiently, you will inevitably sacrifice some quality. It is impossible for you to have all the benefits.
Everyone should understand this principle, right?

But this kid Jiang Hai obviously doesn't play by the rules.

Are you saying his scripts are of poor quality?
This script just happened to be chosen by the crew and was adapted into more than one movie.

You mean to say his scripts are of decent quality?
But this guy writes scripts so fast that it is really hard for people in the industry to understand.

After much thought, facing the questions from the Beijing News reporter, Huo Xuehai finally believed his intuition:

"My evaluation is based on the defense."

What is a defense based on evidence?

The meaning of relying on the defense is a pile of shit.
He is a professor at Tsinghua University and a well-known figure in the field of drama. Why would he use such a shameless pun?

This brings us to the fierce dispute that broke out recently between Huo Xuehai and Jiang Hai on the Internet.

Real literary debates are always simple and plain.

Ever since Huo Xuehai questioned Jiang Hai's plagiarism, the two would have a fierce argument on the Internet almost every once in a while.

When other scholars cursed at each other, they were always polite and courteous:
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice!"

"Why not drown yourself to reflect on yourself?"

"Dead wood can't be carved!"

"You look like you can run a horse!"

But when Jiang Hai and Huo Xuehai quarreled, the main point was fierceness:
"If your mother dies, your father won't have a good end either!"

"You beast, you have a mother but no mother to raise you."

"Do you dare to say it again?"

"I'll say it ten more times"

It was precisely because the quarrel between the two was too fierce that it once attracted official intervention.

It's okay for two ordinary people to curse at each other in public, after all, no one will care.

But no matter whether it is Huo Xuehai or Jiang Hai, both of them can be regarded as well-known figures. How can public figures curse each other like this in public?
This has a bad impact on others.
So, after a fierce battle late at night, the officials banned both of them. The reason given by the officials was very simple:
[Please do not use insulting words in your speech.]

Originally, the verbal abuse between the two sides should have come to a temporary end after the official intervention.

But it seems like it’s not satisfying enough.

If you don't let me swear, then I'll be abstract and use some random words to criticize you.
This should be okay, right?
It was late at night again, and the two of them had another heated argument about "plagiarism".

When both sides failed to persuade the other side, Jiang Hai opened fire first:
"I'll go to bed at eight in the morning!"

How could Huo Xuehai, who is already in his sixties or seventies, understand these abstract and popular Internet memes?
When Huo Xuehai asked students for help and asked what "I go to class early" meant.

The student hesitated and mouthed to him:

"I go to the morning class, which means CNM."

Professor Mo was furious when he learned the truth.

Just as he was organizing his words and wanted to fight back at Jiang Hai.

Without waiting for his reply.

Jiang Hai created another trick:

"Cinema, cinema!"

"Professor Huo, repeat after me, I'm cinema!"

The English word for cinema is [cinema]. If you break the word [cinema] down, it becomes: ci-ne-ma.

Friends who have received nine years of compulsory education and learned elementary school pinyin should all understand what this means?
If you ask Professor Huo to argue with Jiang Hai using classics, he will definitely not be afraid.

But if you let Professor Huo and Jiang Hai, who are already old, do these fancy things, isn't this pure bullying?
Professor Huo was so angry that his hands were shaking. He wanted to fight back immediately, but every time he edited some sentences with a strong mother-like content and wanted to send them out, he would always be warned by the official:

[Please do not use insulting words in your speech! ]

The message can't be sent at all!

The other party can scold you unscrupulously.

But you are unable to be selected and can do nothing about it?

Wrong!

This made Professor Huo Xuehai very frustrated!
It is precisely because of the feud between the two that Professor Huo Xuehai decisively gave his own evaluation of Jiang Hai's upcoming new drama "The Crucible":
"Rely on defense!"

"Can a scrap written in a week be called a script?"

"Please don't show such a shoddy movie that insults the audience's eyes."

Both Huo Xuehai and Jiang Hai’s accounts are high-risk accounts that are receiving close attention from the authorities.

Let alone some words with a strong mafia connotation, even a word like "shit" which is only slightly insulting in nature cannot be pronounced unless it is replaced by a word with a similar homonym like "defense".

Just as Huo Xuehai was expressing his views on the upcoming movie "The Crucible" in the "Movie Column" of the "Beijing News".

Like high-intensity surfing.

Jiang Hai decisively went online and left a message directly under the column of the Beijing News reporter's interview with Huo Xuehai:

"Professor Huo, repeat after me—"

"I am so blessed"

For Jiang Hai, being abstract is as easy as eating and drinking.

You want to ask what [襙称冯了格福] means?
Then Jiang Hai should only be able to answer you:
“You don’t need to look at the radicals on the left side, you only need to recognize the right side of the Chinese character and then make associations.”

Every school has its own celebrity.

Obviously, when the new semester starts, a large number of new students flock to the school.

Jiang Hai, a mysterious senior who has never met but has a good reputation, has become a celebrity in the school.

For ordinary students——

Can write a book.

Can write a screenplay.

This is already a very remarkable and amazing thing!

But this senior Jiang Hai from the third year can not only write and publish books, he can even write plays and scripts. He can even serve as a literary consultant as a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Animation Studio where many bigwigs gather?

For a student, this is...

But it's really amazing!
Xiude Building, Student Activity Center.

A long queue formed at the registration office for the literary society's recruitment.

The member of the literature club who was in charge of maintaining order at the scene, holding a loud speaker, quickly called out to the long queue:
"Everyone, please line up and come to me one by one to get the registration form. Don't crowd."

Chenghai Drama Academy is a nationally renowned institution for its art majors.

In an art school like this one, there must be many different kinds of activity clubs.

According to a rough estimate from the Academic Affairs Office, there are more than 200 clubs registered at the Student Activity Center.

Street dance club.

Photography club.

Basketball club.

Rap Club.

Since there are so many activity clubs in Chengxi.

So, why is this [Literature Club] so popular among freshmen?

The reason is actually very simple.

Because of this famous and extremely mysterious senior Jiang Hai——

He joined the literary club!
He is one of the members of this literary club.
Many freshmen who came to join the literature club because of Jiang Hai's reputation had various discussions while queuing up to receive the registration forms:
"Have you heard that Senior Jiang Hai's new script "The Crucible" will be released in Korean theaters. A student can actually sell a movie script? Damn, this is really awesome."

“Why is The Crucible only shown in Korean theaters and not in domestic theaters? Does it look down on our domestic market?”

"I know this! It seems that because the original film is too explicit, it cannot pass domestic review, so it can only be released in South Korea."

"I'm so envious! We're both in our twenties, but why are others selling scripts and writing plays, while I'm still living in the dorm with my stupid roommate Makabaka, thinking about how to get discounts on takeout and what to eat after class."

"The gap between people is really bigger than that between people and dogs! I feel like I was born just to make up the numbers."

People always have a desire to admire the strong.

They always attribute all kinds of honors and halos to things they have never seen and people who are better than themselves.

Then these people or things are gradually deified.

Through word of mouth among these new students, Jiang Hai, a senior whom they had never met, was portrayed as a——

Suave.

Knowledgable and sensible.

The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, a handsome and unparalleled young man in the world?
In the eyes of these freshmen, the legendary senior Jiang Hai is not only self-disciplined, but also has his own ideas.

He perfectly fits everyone's impression of a scholar.

Although he has amazing talent, he is extremely humble, elegant and easy-going.
When Taozi, the president of the school's literature club, heard about the freshmen's discussion about Jiang Hai, she almost couldn't hold back:
"You call Jiang Hai elegant, easy-going, and gentle???"

"Can the words 'elegant and easy-going' have anything to do with Jiang Hai?"

Regarding Jiang Hai's talent, Taozi admitted that this man was indeed a man of extraordinary talent.

It is not an exaggeration to call him a rare genius among millions.

But for Jiang Hai's character
It’s not that he is bad, it’s just that it’s hard to judge!
"President Taozi." A freshman approached Taozi with a curious look on his face and asked her carefully, "Does it mean that as long as we pass the assessment of the literature club, we can become members of the literature club?"

"I can meet Senior Jiang Hai?"

Yes, you will definitely see it.

But, the rivers and seas in your imagination and the rivers and seas in reality may be two different things?
I heard the freshman's question.

Taozi couldn't help but complain in her heart, then she raised her head and gave the visitor a sweet smile:

"Of course!"

"I promise you in the name of the president—"

"As long as you can successfully join the literature club, you will definitely be able to meet the senior Jiang Hai you've always dreamed of."

"I made it!!!"

Tingxuan Internet Cafe.

Jiang Hai's mentality collapsed. He suddenly pushed the keyboard to the table and shouted:
"This blind man is a human being, just spray me!"

"The game lasted 25 minutes, and it spent 24 minutes clearing the jungle. I never saw this guy come to gank the lane."

I can't stand this seemingly endless torture.

The fat man gave up struggling, turned his head and shouted towards Jiang Hai:
"I ordered, what about you, Brother Hai?"

"I initiated it." Jiang Hai lit a cigarette with his backhand, then took a sip of the iced black tea on the table, "This stupid blind man is really outrageous."

When the two big red words "Failure" appeared on the computer screen.

Jiang Hai and Fatty were almost crazily complaining about the operations of the unknown blind man in the game.

five minutes later
Looking at Chu Tianjiao who was sitting silently on the other side of the Internet cafe.

Fatty Yang Wei immediately became confused:
"Brother Chu, why don't you speak?"

Chu Tianjiao quietly lit a Hongtashan cigarette, and then said something rather melancholy:

"Because you guys cursed at this stupid blind guy for the entire game."

“It’s me.”
