Chapter 4 The Japanese Journey to the West
In addition to their studies, the three people can only talk about novels.
Liu Zhenyun said that half of the students in the Chinese Department have a dream of being a writer, just like later students who are a little more eye-catching have a dream of becoming a star.
This is the pursuit of the times, just like scar literature.
In November 1977, People's Literature published Liu Xinwu's "Class Teacher", which tells the story of Zhang Junshi, the head teacher of a middle school, who accepts Song Baoqi, a gangster who joined the class, as a clue to develop the plot, which aroused discussion in the entire literary world. Some people think that the novel exposes the cruelty to young people in that decade, while others think that the novel calls for the rescue of the young people who were harmed. This expresses a profound sense of history and is full of a strong spirit of enlightenment.
Since then, this type of novels have emerged one after another. It was not until Lu Xinhua published the novel "Scar" in Wenhui Po that this type of literature was defined as scar literature.
Most of the early "scar novels" regard going to the mountains and countryside as an unbearable nightmare. The works are full of suffering and tragic life turns in the past years, ugliness, mutual deception, strife, The betrayal and deception of beautiful human emotions that are exploited by each other are basically a kind of venting of resentment and resentment. All of this shows a strong sense of denial and criticism of the past ultra-left lines and policies. When it comes to personal experience and emotions, , has a relatively strong sentiment of sadness, and the works are filled with confusion, loss, depression and hesitation about the present and the future.
During this period, Liu Hongmin read novels that had a strong social impact. He doesn't understand the artistry either, so he won't talk about it. From a writing perspective, it's not as good as "Young Bao Qingtian".
Liu Zhenyun is somewhat introverted and is unwilling to make negative comments on other people's works.
Zou Shifang also has no interest in scar literature. He started working in 1971 as an editor. I don’t know as much about going to the mountains and countryside as Liu Hongmin does.
Because of this, the two got along well in literature. One is the "eldest young master" in the city, and the other is a "hothouse flower" from the future. Neither of them has experienced too much suffering, so naturally there is not much pain.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Liu Zhenyun was a little reserved, they stopped the topic.
"I heard that the Japanese film "Journey to the West" has been suspended?"
This topic raised by Liu Hongmin instantly made Zou Shifang and Liu Zhenyun excited.
"It should have been stopped a long time ago. What was this film about? The good Tang Monk was actually played by a woman. It's just nonsense."
"I don't know what the people above are doing. I think the Japanese have only learned a little bit about "Journey to the West" and have a rough understanding of "Journey to the West."
After hearing their conversation clearly, the guests next to them also joined in.
“That Tang Monk even kissed Sun Wukong, I couldn’t bear to see it.”
“Tathagata Buddha is also a woman, the little devil is really perverted!”
We can't blame the masses for having too big opinions, it's really the little devils who are acting too recklessly.
Although the friendship treaty has just been signed, the people at the bottom still generally hate the Japanese. Only the middle-level staff wanted to comply with the policy, so this version of "Journey to the West" was born. However, thanks to the excitement among the leaders and the masses, only three episodes were aired, and the Japanese version of "Journey to the West" was suspended.
Liu Hongmin knows more information than the two of them. Although this version of "Journey to the West" is very popular in China, in the country of the Japanese, this TV series is extremely popular. It even has English dubbing and spreads To the whole world.
Maybe it was because the above learned that the "Journey to the West" fabricated by the Japanese was spread all over the world, so they wanted to make a normal version to rectify the name of "Journey to the West" and our country.
It can be said that if there were no Japanese version of "Journey to the West", there would be no 86 version of "Journey to the West". Of course, Liu Hongmin would not thank the little devil. The pure men in the Northeast have only one attitude towards the little devils, fuck them to death!
"When will we be able to make a version of "Journey to the West" ourselves? It will definitely be much better than the one made by the little devil."
"Yes, "Journey to the West" "Only we can film a classic masterpiece like "Journey to the West""
Liu Hongmin said with a smile: "We must film "Journey to the West", otherwise the whole world will think that "Journey to the West" was made by a kid. If so, we will be passive.”
“Then we must shoot as soon as possible! We can’t let the little devil ruin our four masterpieces.”
"Don't rush this!"
Liu Hongmin comforted everyone, "There are too many gods, many special effects, and grand scenes in "Journey to the West," so the shooting cost will be very high. Don't watch this little devil's version of "Journey to the West." "I don't praise the shooting, but it is said that the cost is as high as one billion."
"One billion? Our money?"
"The exchange rate of our money to the little devil's money is about 125." , that’s eight million in our money.”
“Is it really a high cost?”
Liu Hongmin raised his hands, “It shouldn’t be wrong, you know the kid is rich. In the country, labor prices are much higher than ours, so it’s not a lot of money. If we want to shoot "Journey to the West" in the future, it will cost millions."
Everyone expressed regret, "It's so much money. "Where are you going?"
Zou Shifang poked Liu Hongmin, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course!" Liu Hongmin said with a smile. Don’t worry, our country is so big, it’s okay to raise a few million, and we don’t necessarily need to spend it all at once, we can also split it into several years, so don’t worry, as long as you can raise the money. We will definitely film "Journey to the West"."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly became excited again.
"I really hope I can see Journey to the West that we filmed by ourselves now!"
Zou Shifang said unexpectedly: "Hongmin, I didn't expect you also know how to shoot TV series?"
"No. I understand, that is, I have learned some relevant knowledge.”
Of course Liu Hongmin couldn’t tell them that he had learned this from the short videos in the future.
Liu Zhenyun looked at Liu Hongmin with envy, thinking: No wonder Liu Hongmin is able to write a novella. It turns out that he has enough knowledge.
Thinking of this, he decided to read more and study more when he returned. As long as he had enough knowledge, writing novels would become a natural thing.
Many years later, when Liu Zhenyun talked about the reason why he was able to write so many good works, he said that he was inspired by Liu Hongmin. However, Liu Hongmin denied this matter. He even wondered why Liu Zhenyun would say this, and he would still guide Liu Zhenyun with his three-legged writing ability?
Stop joking, Liu Zhenyun is a great writer, okay?
