Chapter 646 645 The novel belongs to the novel, and the future script belongs to the script
The novel starts with a thunderstorm scene rich in camera expression, kicking off the anti-corruption campaign.
The following plots and stories are also full of suspense and interlocking. Almost every reader can't wait to know the final ending.
This writing technique is more similar to script writing and makes it easier for people to feel "refreshed".
This kind of sensory pleasure will weaken the tension and connotation of the novel, and rarely make people meditate on the writing and narrative techniques.
In this regard, Yan Zhen's "The Water of Canglang" does it better.
It is not only an official novel, but also a masterpiece of realism. Through the life experiences of the characters, this work overturns the various forms of human nature and relationships in the changing fortunes, and profoundly breaks through the mental squeeze and value destruction of intellectuals caused by power and money.
It does not stop at the appearance of the official plot, but touches the human soul. Through the changes in political career, it depicts the whole process of compromise, adaptation and transformation of the protagonist Chi Dawei, an intellectual, in the spiritual world.
Yan Zhen's writing style is eloquent, and his narration is smooth and flowing. He uses almost line drawings and calm details to describe the characters, bringing the two characters Chi Dawei and Ma Chuizhang to life.
Compared to "In the Name of the People", the conflict and concentration of drama are also borrowed from the character setting.
There are inextricably intertwined relationships between the characters in the novel. The positive character Hou Liangping and the negative characters Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei have a teacher-student relationship and a classmate relationship. The competition between the two parties condenses the multiple elements of emotion, power and conspiracy. , when such a plot is moved to the screen, it will naturally have dramatic conflicts.
But the biggest problem is that the complex portrayal of the characters fails to be facial makeup.
Especially the protagonist Hou Pingliang is more like a Sun Wukong who came out of the stone with destiny. He is fearless and resolute in fighting corruption. Even if he is caught in an unwarranted trap created by his opponent, he will There are always three vellus hairs to protect the body and successfully reverse the fate.
If it weren’t for the aura of the protagonist, he would probably have been eaten up by a bunch of big guys in the show.
This is also one of the biggest criticisms of this novel and TV series.
Let’s change it
Less about the so-called dramatic conflict, and write more about the complexity of human nature and criticism of society.
Novel is a novel, and future scripts are scripts.
This is how Fang Minghua spent the winter of 1993.
Outside, the literary world and the literary and art circles are all quarreling around the "Humanistic Spirit Discussion", but Fang Minghua writes a somewhat cruel story in the warmth of his home.
It was late December. In the afternoon, Fang Minghua was typing in his study when he heard a rush of people coming upstairs from outside the door. Then the study door was pushed open and his daughter Ruirui ran in with her schoolbag on her back.
"Dad, Dad, my aunt is back."
"Your aunt? Are you back from the United States?" Fang Minghua was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, she picked us up after school today, and she is downstairs now."
"Oh, let's go down." Fang Minghua turned off the computer and took his daughter's hand. Floor, I saw Li Li watching her son Lele draw.
The little guy showed off his previous drawing of Ultraman to Li Li, and was praised by his aunt.
Li Li was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, tight jeans, and had already changed into the large cotton slippers prepared for guests at home.
Fang Minghua discovered that Li Li’s appearance did not seem to have changed much after she had been in the United States for several years.
It’s the same whether you’re married or not.
Oh. To her, it seems to be the same.
Li Li saw Fang Minghua holding the little girl's hand and called out sweetly: "Brother-in-law."
"Lili, are you on winter vacation? When did you come back?" Fang Minghua greeted.
"Yesterday. I'll come over if I have nothing to do today. Where is my cousin?"
"I haven't got off work yet, but I will soon." Fang Minghua replied: "Let's have dinner together later."
The two sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Brother-in-law, what novel are you writing recently?"
"Write another official anti-corruption novel." Fang Minghua briefly stated the content of the novel.
"Wow, how does it sound like the novel "House of Cards" written by the British writer Michael Dobbs?" Li Li was surprised.
“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s two different things.” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"House of Cards" was adapted into a TV series twice. In 1990, the British BBC adapted it into a TV series and was widely praised. It was rated as one of the greatest political dramas in British history.
"I want to take a look." Li Li became curious. "Okay, but don't worry, your sister will be back soon. Let's eat first and see after we finish."
Sure enough, within two minutes, I heard the sound of a car coming from outside. Within a few minutes, Song Tangtang, wearing a woolen coat, hurried into the living room.
When she saw Li Li sitting on the sofa, a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Lili is back? When did she come back?"
"Yesterday at noon."
< br>
"How have you been during this time?"
"Very good."
The two sisters chatted affectionately.
“Let’s eat first and chat after dinner.” Fang Minghua next to him reminded.
The nanny Xiaoqin has already prepared a meal in the dining room. It is actually simple, just Qishan Sauce Noodles. In addition, chopped green onions and garlic cloves are also prepared for everyone to choose from.
"Wow, it smells delicious!" Li Li couldn't help but admire when she saw the oily noodles.
“This is made by Xiaoqin, the girl’s hands are so skillful.” Song Tangtang praised: “Lili, you can’t eat it in the United States, right? Eat more today!”
Eat After the meal, a nanny naturally cleaned up the dishes, and Li Li couldn't wait to go to the study room on the second floor to read the novel written by Fang Minghua.
This novel, Fang Minghua expected to be longer than originally written, about 350,000 words,
Now he has completed about 150,000 words, and the plot is almost halfway through.
Li Li was reading a novel alone in the study. Fang Minghua did not accompany her, but went downstairs to complete his task - tutoring two children with their homework.
In fact, in this era, children’s education is far less complicated than in later generations. Many children are left to their own devices, and their parents don’t care.
But the daughter-in-law Song Tangtang refused.
“Our child is going to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Yanch University! How can we do it if we don’t focus on it from a young age?!”
Fang Minghua couldn’t bear that his wife, who had been busy all day, had to worry about her child’s homework when she got home. , since I have a free day, I should have no problem tutoring the children in the next grade.
It’s just
Given that my daughter Ruirui is so absent-minded in her studies, it’s strange that she could be admitted to Tsinghua University.
My son Lele is good. He can complete the homework assigned by the teacher seriously and rarely makes mistakes. He doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Fang Minghua’s counseling is mainly aimed at his daughter.
I finally finished writing the Arabic numerals with my daughter, and after a half-hour break, my daughter still had to practice the piano.
Fang Minghua doesn't need to worry about practicing the piano, because he doesn't know music theory, so he has to leave this matter to his wife to supervise.
Fortunately, Ruirui is not opposed to practicing the piano. In her words, she would rather play the terrifying "Flight of the Bumblebee" with her two little hands flying up and down - Fang Minghua is a little dizzy when he sees it, but he doesn't Willing to write Arabic numerals.
Soon, the tinkling sound of the piano came from the piano room upstairs.
Song Tangtang had already returned to his room and opened his laptop to check the financial accounts.
She not only has to worry about Shengshi Film and Television, but also is responsible for the financial work of the entire group. In the second half of this year, Shengshi Books and Shengshi Film and Television are making large-scale investments and infrastructure, and the accounts must be clarified.
Looking at her watch, it was already ten o'clock. Song Tangtang turned off the computer and quietly went downstairs. She saw Fang Minghua alone in the living room watching TV, and asked
"Where is the baby?"
"Just fell asleep. "Exit." Fang Minghua replied, and then asked: "Where is Lili?"
"It seems that she is still in the study." After that, Song Tangtang went upstairs again.
After a while, the two sisters went downstairs. Song Tangtang said to Fang Minghua: "Minghua, Lili is staying at our house today and sleeping with me. We need to have a good chat. As for you, go sleep in the guest room. ”
Damn it!
As soon as this cousin came, she took her own place?
Well, Fang Minghua had to go to the guest room.
It was late at night, the north wind was blowing outside, and the room was well heated.
Li Li was wearing the cotton pajamas given to her by Song Tangtang, and the two sisters were half lying on the bed chatting.
