Another Wednesday, Lin Chaoyang went to the Chinese Department to attend Lin Geng's class.

After class, Lin Chaoyang asked: "I haven't seen Lao Ye in class these two times."

Lao Ye is Ye Junyuan, the eldest brother of the 77-level Chinese department.

Chen Jiangong replied: "I rebelled against the university and was admitted to the Renmin University of China as a graduate student."

"Can I take the postgraduate entrance examination in my freshman year?"

Lin Chaoyang's question was not answered, so Chen Jiangong forced him to go to Building 32 and asked Lin Chaoyang to help him read the newly written script.

"How do I know about scripts? I still have to go to work!"

"Jack of all trades, master of none, you are a great writer now."

Chen Jiangong dragged Lin Chaoyang to the dormitory and took out the first draft of the script he had just written - "Conscience".

Lin Chaoyang didn't know much about drama creation and wanted to be humble, but Chen Jiangong said: "It's all about telling stories. It's pretty much the same. You can just give me your opinions."

Naturally, Chen Jiangong's words cannot be taken seriously. From the perspective of readers and viewers, the difference between novels and scripts is indeed not big, it is just a change of form.

But if you look closely, there are huge differences between the two, whether in terms of creative purpose, expression method, structural characteristics or reading/viewing experience.

For example, novels usually use detailed text narratives, which include a large number of inner monologues, environmental descriptions, and various rhetorical techniques and narrative techniques.

But the script is different. It mainly relies on dialogue and stage prompts to advance the plot. The language must be refined and concise, and can be presented to the audience in the most intuitive way.

The structural requirements of the novel are also relatively free, and the author can flexibly arrange the chapters, perspective and chronological order according to his own ideas.

The required structure of the script must be compact, have a strong sense of rhythm, and focus on the design of scene transitions and dramatic conflicts. It is usually divided into acts or scenes, and each scene revolves around a specific conflict or time.

It is easy for ordinary people to understand novels, but it takes a certain amount of patience to read scripts. The first feeling many people have when reading scripts is "do it".

A brief explanation of time, place, and environment, followed by character dialogue and description of expressions and body movements, can only show readers the objectively existing material world.

The style of the times shown in the script, the emotions given to the characters and the ups and downs of the plot are jointly completed by the feelings of the readers and the audience.

"Conscience" is a one-act play that tells the story of the two daughters of the XF director of a certain province, who brought home a blind old man they met on the street one day. The blind old man's daughter died unjustly twenty years ago.

The old man cried his eyes out because of this.

Now that the buzz has passed, the old man came to the provincial capital to help his daughter, and Director XF was the son-in-law of the blind old man. He was the one who exposed his wife during the "righteous extermination of relatives", and the two daughters are also the old man's granddaughters.

.

In the play, only the director of XF understands the relationship between several people, but in the end he cruelly burned the old man's SF letter.

Lin Chaoyang has never written a script, but has seen many scripts and drama performances.

The story of "Conscience" has the typical characteristics of scar literature. It may be a bit tacky forty years later, but it is still very fresh when viewed now, especially in the final ending, which is quite ingenious.

"Well written."

"Really good?" Chen Jiangong asked somewhat unconfidently.

"I'm a layman, what do you expect me to say? Based on my personal feeling, it's pretty good."

Chen Jiangong felt a little regretful, "You're not good at your level. You can't even see any problems."

Lin Chaoyang looked at him fiercely, "Did I ask you to read the script to me?"

"It's a joke, it's a joke!" Chen Jiangong apologized and asked, "Just say it, just say whatever you want."

Lin Chaoyang turned over the script again and considered every word for a long time.

"I think this line can be changed."

"Change it to what?"

Lin Chaoyang was referring to the scene in the play where Director XF said to the blind old man, "Don't make trouble unreasonably."

He said: "You can follow with two more sentences."

"With what?"

"Director XF: Don't make trouble unreasonably.

Blind old man: Chief, I am right!

Director XF: Don’t make trouble even if you are justified!”

Chen Jiangong frowned, "Is this emphasis? It's not bad."

"Have you read the People's Daily for the past two days?" Lin Chaoyang asked.

Chen Jiangong shook his head, "I didn't look at it."

"Are you still a college student?"

Lin Chaoyang took the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment to Chen Jiangong, and urged: "Let's get down to business."

"There was an article in the newspaper about the SF masses, and there was a sentence in it."

Chen Jiangong's eyes lit up, "That's it?"

"Um."

Chen Jiangong immediately crossed out his original line and added two lines according to Lin Chaoyang's instructions. Then the more he read, the more ironic and poignant he became.

Finally, he couldn't help but give Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up, "What a great talent!"

With these two lines, Chen Jiangong was even more convinced of Lin Chaoyang's creative talent, and he would not let Lin Chaoyang leave until he had to grind out the script.

"I have to go to work, so I'll do it at home in the evening."

Lin Chaoyang finally found an excuse to escape from Building 32. When he got off work, he saw Chen Jiangong waiting at the door of the library early.

"Why are you like a dog-skin plaster?"

Chen Jiangong was not angry even after being ridiculed by him. He smiled and said, "Isn't this for art?"

If a cultural person is shameless, no one can stop him.

Lin Chaoyang brought Chen Jiangong home. Tao Yushu heard that he was going to create a play, and he immediately became interested and urged Lin Chaoyang to help change the script.

Love of tossing, this is probably the biggest commonality between Tao Yushu and Chen Jiangong.

With Tao Yushu's supervision, Lin Chaoyang could not be lazy and could only accompany Chen Jiangong to polish the script. After three days in a row, he finally finished the script, and Chen Jiangong let him go.

"Yushu, thank you so much. You must come to support me when it premieres!"

"no problem."

Chen Jiangong and Tao Yushu said goodbye happily, completely ignoring the cows and horses beside them.

I have been busy for several days and no one has said "thank you" to me. Say thank you?

Lin Chaoyang sighed deeply, why are the people around him so troubled?

In the blink of an eye, the eighth issue of "People's Literature" has been published for more than a week. As a prestigious literary magazine in the Chinese literary world, "People's Literature" has an undoubted appeal among readers. The sales volume of almost every issue is...

Four to five million copies.

In the first three or four days after this issue of "People's Literature" was published, the magazine's sales remained at the same level as previous issues, but the situation began to change suddenly on the fifth day.

Readers flocked to many bookstores and newsstands. The sales of magazines on many bookstores and newsstands doubled or tripled every day. The inventory that should have been sold for a month was wiped out in just one week.

And empty.

Everyone in the bookstore industry knows this situation very well. This must be another good work appearing in this issue of "People's Literature".

The bookstore staff didn't even need to flip through the magazine to know why this issue was so popular.

As the main work of this issue of "People's Literature", the title of "Wreaths Under the Mountains" is eye-catchingly printed on the cover of the magazine in the form of a headline.

The situation that "People's Literature" encountered in bookstores, newsstands and post offices everywhere also happened after the last issue of "People's Literature" was released.

The July issue of "People's Literature" has just published Jiang Zilong's "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao". As one of the first works of reform literature, "The Taking of Factory Director Qiao" has been popular among readers since the day it was published.

The sales of that issue of "People's Literature" took a beautiful upward curve.

The August issue of "People's Literature" suddenly became popular, and it seems to be even more popular than the previous issue.

Inventory is running low, and Xinhua bookstores from all over the country have sent feedback to the Humanities Society.

But at this time, the Humanities Society simply couldn't care about the bookstore's delivery request, because the day after this issue of "People's Literature" was published, they received a purchase request from the army and purchased 50,000 copies of the eighth issue of "People's Literature" at one time.

People's Literature".

Fifty thousand copies of the magazine are not too much for the monthly sales of "People's Literature", but because the army made a sudden purchase request, the Humanities Society and the printing factory they cooperated with were caught off guard.

After hurriedly printing more magazines that the army wanted to purchase, the Humanities Club found time to deal with the bookstore's delivery request.

The most direct result of the disconnect between printing and shipping is that the eighth issue of "People's Literature" is hard to find everywhere.

At this time, half a month has passed since this issue of "People's Literature" went on sale, and the reputation of the novel "Garland Under the Mountain" has become viral and has spread among a large number of readers.

Since February this year, the war between our country and our southern neighbor has been the focus of public attention. Although the war only lasted for a month in name, in fact the small-scale conflicts have continued to this day.

For neighbors who retaliate with kindness, ordinary people have a very simple concept, that is, they must be taught a severe lesson.

But at the same time, the Chinese people are also worried about the hard battle and heroic sacrifice of the frontline soldiers.

At this time, the eighth issue of "People's Literature" published "Wreaths Under the Mountains" was published.

As the first novel with this war as the background, "Wreaths Under the Mountains" received a large number of readers' attention immediately after its publication.
Chapter completed!
