As one of the four famous novels, "Water Margin", in addition to retaining the epic characteristics of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in scale, has a new development in narrative structure and language.

First of all, "Water Margin" is the first novel written in ancient vernacular in the history of Chinese literature, which has changed the half-literate and half-white style characteristics of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", and has played a vital role in the development of Chinese novels.

Secondly, "Water Margin" is also unique in terms of narrative, taking the most widely circulated 120 episodes as an example, the first 70 episodes use smooth brushwork to lead out each hero one by one, starting and turning to become mature, and the appearance of each hero is not introduced by a deliberate time or place, but when narrating the story, it is seamless without leaving a trace.

Then, in the seventy-first episode of the novel, "Zhongyitang Shijie is subject to astronomy, and the heroes of Liangshanbo are seated", the narrative clues converge into one, and the hundred rivers eventually return to the sea, surging forward to promote the progress of the whole story.

Finally, in terms of character portrayal, "Water Margin" has also completed the transformation from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"-style facial makeup to personalization, and the protagonist is no longer a perfect person with no shortcomings, but a living person with an independent personality.

One hundred and eight heroes, each with their own faces, have differences in the same, and have similarities in differences, and truly create typical characters in a typical environment.

You don't have to write directly about the person, just look at his words and deeds to know who he is.

is also brave and brave, Lu Zhishen killed Zhen Guanxi with three punches, thick and fine, brave and strategic, and Li Kui of the black whirlwind seems reckless and frank; Li Kui is also indomitable and impulsive and direct.

Therefore, it can be said that Lu Zhishen is wise and brave, and Li Kui is straight and brave. Wu Song is ruthless.

This combination of similarities and differences is reflected in other characters, which together marks the maturity of Chinese novels in terms of narrative and character building.

However, some literary critics believe that the novel began to enter a dull period after 70 episodes, and the previous continuous wonderful scenes and smooth narratives are no longer goodbye, and the characters gradually tend to be face-painted, and those heroes who shine in the previous text seem to gradually become invisible.

Famous critics of the Qing Dynasty were even more radical in cutting the content after the seventy chapters, which can be seen.

Nevertheless. When Liu Jingting released the first two chapters of the novel, both several editors of "Craftsman Record" and some senior readers were faintly aware of Liu Jingting's intentions. Know that he doesn't just want to play a word game when he calls a multi-protagonist challenge.

"The concept of thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth evils was mentioned in "Journey to the West", Zhu Bajie is thirty-six Tiangang changes, and Sun Wukong is seventy-two earth evil changes. This book uses this concept. Reflecting the reincarnation of one hundred and eight demon lords is not ingenious. This foreshadowing was very precise. ”

"It's still an ancient narrative, and it can be seen that it has a lineage with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", but the content and structure are more flexible. ”

"I can't see anything deeper in just two times, but it can be clearly seen that the book "Water Margin" is not small. ”

……

Since the opening of the single-open mode, Liu Jingting's daily work has been relatively easy, and it happens that Yang Lilu has formed an inverse relationship.

Knocking novels three times a day, and the rest of the time reading books, listening to music, watching movies, and picking up Yang Lilu from work. Eat with Chang Youdao and others, and occasionally participate in the discussion and decision of the topic. Let's take a look at the progress of several adaptation collaboration projects.

For example, the adaptation of "Dragon Babu" has signed a formal contract with the ocean, and in addition to the normal royalties, Liu Jingting participates in the investment as usual, which is also the first time that Liu Jingting has officially cooperated with the ocean in the name of the company.

Wang Hangan is still excited about this, and he paid out of his own pocket to invite all employees of the company to afternoon tea, and several directors of Longchuan Group have not agreed with Wang Hangan's strategy of "continuing to show favor to Liu Jingting", but one Wang Hangan has been the general manager of the TV station, and his performance and work ability are obvious to all, even if Liu Jingting's consultant Xingyue period, the ocean has never been defeated, and winning the adaptation rights of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is Wang Hangan's classic battle.

On the other hand, Wang Qisen, chairman of the group, has always spared no effort to support his grandson Wang Hangan, and he has to emphasize this idea almost every time he is on the board of directors.

"There are no absolute enemies, only absolute interests. Liu Jingting once helped Xingyue beat us out of breath, but this does not mean that we and Liu Jingting are opposites all our lives, knowing current affairs and discerning opportunities are the basic qualities of a businessman. ”

When Wang Hangan proposed to attack the "Dragon Babu" project, Wang Qisen dismissed some directors and executives at a high-level meeting and asked them to let go of their hatred and prejudice against Liu Jingting.

Finally, when Wang Hangan spoke, he said more simply and straightforwardly: "If you win this project, everyone will get more money this year." ”

Everyone looked at the meaningful expression of the chairman and the confident appearance of the general manager, and suddenly had nothing to say.

In the final analysis, isn't the reason why the ocean has been pressed and beaten by the stars and the moon in recent years because of the unpredictable Liu Jingting?

"Dragon Babu" came into the world like a mountain and a sea of rain, not to mention the group executives who have been paying attention to this kind of information, even the directors who are only sitting at home and waiting for dividends have learned some information.

Now that Wang Hangan can snatch the adaptation rights of this novel from so many competitors (including Xingyue), what position do they have to complain about besides being glad that they have chosen an excellent general manager?

In fact, after the official launch of the "Dragon Babu" project within the ocean, some directors continued to follow up Liu Jingting's latest works, but Wang Hangan didn't think so.

"First, when grabbing "Dragon Babu", we have won several giants, including CCTV and Huaying, we are different from Liu Jingting, he can ignore the pressure of any unit and individual, we can't;

Second, to cooperate with people like Liu Jingting, you can't show too strong greed, you have to know how to advance and retreat, as far as I know, this time in the competition for "Tianlong Babu", Xingyue Palace Chengpin took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, and also specially asked Liu Jingting to come out to talk about this matter, showing an empathetic company vividly and exquisitely;

Third, although Liu Jingting can have no taboos and no oil and salt, but for his personal convenience in the future, he will definitely make some balances and adjustments, I guess his new book must have negotiated the adaptation right with CCTV or Huaying, so we can't interfere. ”

There is no doubt that in the end, Wang Hangan, who was well-founded, persuaded the board of directors, in fact, he basically guessed all the possibilities correctly, but Liu Jingting's new book "Water Margin" did not choose only one partner this time, but chose Huaying and CCTV to do this TV series together.

Liu Jingting paid tribute to his predecessors and sold "Water Margin" to CCTV for one yuan, and at the same time Yingri Culture and Huaying participated in the investment.

In other words, the production of the "Water Margin" TV series this time is a tripartite cooperation between Liu Jingting, CCTV, and Huaying!

This is almost the strongest cooperation in the history of TV dramas, and after the news was announced, the media vividly described this cooperation as a "strong combination". (To be continued......)
