Chapter 541: Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart
Since Xiaodouding stumbled upon the two parts "The Tale of Two Donkeys" and "Latent" last year, He Xin began to order some monthly, bimonthly, and quarterly domestic mainstream magazines, such as "Beijing Literature", "Harvest", "Contemporary", "People's Literature" and so on.
He Xin was a person who liked to read in his previous life, but he was never interested in books that were standard for literary youth, such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Gone with the Wind", and "Love in the Time of Cholera". I don't know why he always has an instinctive rejection of foreign countries.
But he disdains stall literature like Xue Millie, so "Story Club" has become his favorite. The story is short and concise, and it doesn't take much time to enrich your spiritual world.
After being reborn, especially in the literary circle, he was not as repulsive to foreign countries as he was in his previous life, and he also studied "The Garden of Diverging Paths" in depth in order to pretend to be forced. But to be honest, he prefers still local literary works, just like domestic films, no matter how bad they are, he still likes domestic movies better than Hollywood blockbusters.
Of course, today's "Story Club" seems to be a little insufficient in his eyes, so mainstream magazines have become his spiritual food for after-dinner pastime.
However, another important reason is that many classic movies are derived from literary works, and novellas are often the most suitable for adaptation into films. He wanted to see if he could find works that he remembered through these mainstream magazines.
After all, many names have been changed after being adapted into movies, and he is not sure if the original work of "The Wind" is called "The Wind", or if there are other names.
Compared with the sixth generation of directors, who are accustomed to self-creation, the fifth generation of directors often prefer the adaptation of literary works. Although He Xin has made a lot of movies of the sixth generation of directors, in his heart, he actually likes the works of the fifth generation of directors more.
How so?
He is relatively old-fashioned, and when he first started reading online articles in his last life, he liked to read online articles with realistic themes from the beginning, and he was not interested in rebirth cheating articles. Later, there was really nothing to see, so he slowly accepted the rebirth text, but he always rejected the kind of particularly popular Xianxia, fantasy, and even urban abilities, because he felt that this was unreliable.
This leads to the understanding of movies, he always feels that a good movie must have his literary nature, even if it is a commercial film, such as the recent speculation of up to 40 million US dollars, directed by Chen Kexin, starring Li Lian, Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu The Chinese giant film "Stinging Horse"; The former is adapted from "The Case of the Stabbing Horse" in the late Qing Dynasty, and the latter is adapted from Yang Jinyuan's "Lawsuit".
He has always scoffed at the so-called big IP plus traffic in later generations.
This time, he promised his girlfriend that he must help her find a big-screen work that suits her and can shine, and he has no clue for a while, so he can only flip through these magazines, just like Xiaodouding helped him find "The Story of Two Donkeys" before, to see if he can find a suitable work.
Most of these mainstream magazines are mainly short and medium-length stories, and long stories are published in the form of serials. There are wonderful ones, and there are dull ones, but fortunately, the length is not long, even if it is dull, you can endure it to read it.
But he has little interest in long-form novels, after all, serialization, which is only updated once a month, two months, or even a quarter, is too grinding. Even if you think it's good, you may have forgotten the content a month or two months ago, and it feels a bit headless when you watch it again.
In more than a week, I finished reading "Harvest", "Contemporary", and "People's Literature", and there was only one "Beijing Literature" that had already been half-turned.
After finishing work that day, He Xin, as usual, took a hot shower, went to bed early and nested in the warm quilt, and then picked up the book "Beijing Literature" that he didn't finish reading and then finished reading the novella that he didn't finish yesterday.
"Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart!"
He silently read the name of the latter part, and then turned it back, about thirty pages, a total of nineteen chapters, estimated to be a novella of about 50,000 words.
Li Baoli was standing at the window of the new house, and suddenly she saw the sparkling of the river in the distance. Li Baoli was taken aback, and she exclaimed, 'Xiaojing, come and see!'
Wan Xiaojing, who accompanied her to see the house, hurriedly ran over, and Li Baoli pointed to the yellowed water in the distance and said, "Do you see the Yangtze River......?"
Just after reading a beginning, He Xin couldn't help but smile, estimating that it was another story that happened in Chongqing. Last year, he filmed "Curiosity Kills the Cat" and "Stone" in Chongqing, which made him full of affection for that three-D city.
Maybe he didn't realize that there might be Jiang Qinqin's factor in his subconscious.
But then looking down, I can't help but be a little disappointed, not Chongqing but Wuhan.
However, fortunately, he is relatively unfamiliar with Wuhan, and the general concept is still the knowledge obtained from books, such as Wuhan is a heroic city, Wuchang Shouyi, the bloody battle of Tingsi Bridge, the Battle of Wuhan, etc., and for example, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the city of a thousand lakes, hot dry noodles, Jingwu duck neck, nine-headed bird in the sky, and the earth...... Uh, things like that.
Originally, when he saw the name "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", he thought it was a tragic story of love. Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, like ten thousand arrows to fill the heart, describing ten thousand pains.
As a result, it didn't look like that, and at the beginning it was some gossip between parents and women.
I read a few articles before, how to say it, it's a bit high and low. It's rare to come across a very down-to-earth subject, just like getting used to eating lobster geoduck, and it's rare to come up with a shiitake mushroom cabbage sum, which is light and refreshing, and the change of taste is also excellent.
He Xin looked into it unconsciously...... Search
Li Baoli is a native of Wuhan, oh, a native of Wuhan.
She is young and beautiful, has a low education, and is vulgar and mean. Her husband's name is Ma Xuewu, a countryman, educated, and the director of a factory office in a state-owned enterprise. An uneducated city girl and a learned country boy, this combination is quite common even in the small county town where He Xin lived in his last life.
Li Baoli's life wish is very real: to have a separate water pipe, a separate kitchen and a toilet at home. Thanks to my husband, the dream of the house has come true, and it is still facing the Yangtze River with an elevator.
Her father said that this is a pattern of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, which is a taboo in feng shui. Seeing this, He Xincai suddenly realized that the original name came from this.
The so-called "ten thousand arrows pierce the heart", in his hometown in his previous life, is called "piercing the heart", that is, the door is facing the window, so that the feng shui is all destroyed, and the residents inside are destined to "point back".
She didn't care, she just thought that the hard days had come to an end, but she didn't know that she had reached the highest point in her life, and then she fell all the way.
On the day of moving to a new house, Ma Xuewu suddenly filed for divorce, there is no reason why this man has been silent for more than ten years, enduring the ridicule and viciousness of the other party, and whipping the self-esteem of the cultural youth a little bit.
Of course, Li Baoli disagreed, and she later found out that her husband had an affair and was a typist in the factory. One day, she followed her husband and lover to a hotel, and her overly stunned head made her unable to think of any good way, so she chose to call the police.
Ma Xuewu was arrested for prostitution and dismissed from his post. Without leaving a word for his wife, he committed suicide by jumping into the river. Since then, her in-laws have regarded Li Baoli as an enemy, and her son has stopped talking to her.
In order to support her family and provide for her son to go to college, Li Baoli had to become a female flattener.
In Wuhan, the people who pick up goods are called flat dans, and due to the prosperity of the wharf culture, it has been the distribution center of goods from all over the world since ancient times. In the heyday of the eighties and nineties, there were nearly 100,000 people gathered on Hanzheng Street.
Li Baoli regards herself as the pillar of her family's survival, she has worn out a pair of sneakers in a month, and she has to please her in-laws when she goes home, because her in-laws are literate and can tutor her son in his homework.
She gradually became silent, thinking that it would be easy to provide for her son until he graduated from high school, but unexpectedly, the cost of college doubled, forcing her to sell blood many times.
Everyone says, no matter what, when your son graduates from college, he will be able to enjoy Qingfu. As a result, the son suddenly exploded, and he always hated her, hating her for killing his father.
Eventually, the son had to sell the house, get a new one, and force his mother to move out.
Li Baoli was like Ma Xuewu, she didn't leave a word, she just picked up all her belongings and stayed in a cheap hotel where the flatteners settled.
She thinks that life is her own, whether it is full of children and grandchildren or a lonely family, she must go through it by herself.
In the past, He Xin always turned a few pages, stopped for a while, smoked a cigarette, drank tea, or went to the toilet or something, but today's "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", he read it to the end in one breath.
When it was over, he leaned weakly on the head of the bed, and he didn't breathe for a long time.
It is indeed very down-to-earth, the text is simple, back to basics, taken from life, and close to life, just like the stories that happened around me in my previous life, and I can even find the shadow of my own life in my previous life.
At the same time, it touched on several core issues in the family: husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, children's education, etc., but these questions did not give answers in the end, which made people panic.
He sympathized with Li Baoli and thought that fate was unfair to her, but how could she not have made the ending of her final harvest by herself?
Very contradictory, aggrieved.
It's just that this Li Baoli's woman gradually became clear, gradually prominent, and gradually eye-catching in his mind.
This Li Baoli does not pay attention to the taste of life, is not culturally educated, is rough and pulling, is loud and martial, is hot-tempered, is arrogant in front of her husband, has a little scheming, is ordinary and mediocre. But at the same time, she is also warm-hearted, knife-mouthed, strong, enduring, filial piety and love for her family, able to swallow tears in her stomach, optimistic about life, and daring to take responsibility......
Suddenly, he sat up suddenly, didn't even bother to look at the time, picked up his phone and dialed his girlfriend's number.
The phone rang for a long time, and he, who has always been unhurried, rarely felt a kind of eagerness and anxiety, until his girlfriend's confused "Hey ......" came from the other end
He couldn't wait to say: "You will go find a copy of "Beijing Literature" published this month tomorrow, there is a novella called "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", you must take a good look!"
