Chapter 32 The pen is like no god
The previous playwright had already written ten episodes, and Liu Zhang had written four more episodes in the past few days. In fact, in general, in the content of these fourteen episodes, the main thing is to explain the relationship between the characters and pave the contradictions, and then it is time to detonate the contradictions.
Based on his experience in writing in the past few days, Liu Zhang feels that the so-called novels are, in the final analysis, the transformation and collision of the relationship between the characters and the characters.
The foreshadowing has been made, and the story is about to enter the climax. However, at this point, he did not know how to write it down.
All the characters seem to be crammed into a small room, eager to try, but they can't get out.
They are crying and laughing, shouting, and living their lives in another time and space, but Liu Zhang feels that the characters and roles are getting farther and farther away from him, more and more blurred, and blurred to the point that they can't grasp.
Yes, the characters already have a life of their own, they started their own lives, and at the same time they also refused Liu Zhang's entry.
For a whole day, Liu Zhang didn't write a word. The cigarettes were still smoked one by one, and the whole person was like a trapped head around an invisible circle in the center of the room.
Am I really not suitable for this job, the intense loss has made his brain congested, and his eyes are full of red threads.
Frustration, loss, anger...... All the negative emotions came flooding up at the same time.
"Teacher Liu, you look so haggard, are you sick?" At dinner, Lin Ying looked at Liu Zhang in surprise and asked.
Liu Zhang replied casually: "It's okay, it's just that the spirit is not very good." ”
Lin Ying said with concern: "Teacher Liu, if you stay up late every day, your body will not be able to stand it if you go on like this." Also, you smoke too much, and you can sweep a lot of cigarette butts out of your house every day. As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of braised pork into Liu Zhang's bowl: "Teacher Liu uses his brain too much, eat more meat to make up for it." ”
Seeing her expression and seeing that she cared so much about herself, Liu Zhang's heart warmed and said, "Lin Ying, don't you stay up late every day?" ”
Lin Ying playfully stuck out her tongue: "Wow, you found out, Teacher Liu." I think so, I should memorize the lines every day and figure out the good characters. Otherwise, if you don't perform well the next day and the director calls you CUT, won't it cause trouble for everyone? I originally wanted to find Mr. Liu's lines, but seeing that you are so busy, it is not easy to come and disturb. ”
Liu Zhang: "Lin Ying, if you want to speak the lines, just come, I welcome you at any time." ”
"Ah, really, really don't bother, thank you, thank you." Lin Ying was full of joy: "Teacher Liu has a university question, every time I talk to you, my acting skills improve, should I buy you some thank-you gifts?" ”
"Who wants your thank-you gift?" Liu Zhang smiled, and suddenly sighed: "Anyway, I'm in a very bad state now, talk to you, maybe I'll get back into my state?" ”
Lin Ying looked a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Liu, can't you write a manuscript?" That's terrible. ”
"I can't write it, and it doesn't matter, just take a break."
Lin Ying hurriedly said: "What's not important, this thing can't rest." ”
Liu Zhang: "What code words do you know as a little girl?" ”
Lin Ying stuck out her tongue and looked very cute: "Why don't I know, when I first read books, I was most afraid of writing essays." As soon as I picked up the pen, my mind seemed to freeze, and no matter how long I rested, I couldn't write a word. Mr. Liu, I understand. By the way, are you having any problems now? ”
Although she didn't understand this matter with Lin Ying, Liu Zhang was now annoyed, and there was a desire to confide in the same person in her heart, so she smiled bitterly and said: "I am a post-80s, and I will be born two years later than the 90s." I grew up in the 90s, and I don't know what the 80s were like, it's just another planet. You asked me to write a story about the 80s, and I couldn't imagine it no matter how hard I knocked my head. ”
"yes, it's a bit of a problem, but I think the problem can be solved." Lin Ying was also worried, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows wrinkled together.
Liu Zhang: "Okay, okay, you can't help me with this, let's eat, the food is about to be cold." ”
After eating, he returned to the room and talked to Yan Chengqi on the phone, and he replied that everything was fine, and Liu Zhang was also relieved. After talking for a long time, I hung up the phone and sat back in front of the computer. That feeling of boredom, weakness, and nausea returned.
Still couldn't write a word, and at this time, Lin Ying's voice came: "Teacher Liu, open the door, hurry up, I can't hold it." The voice seemed urgent.
"What the hell, what's wrong?" Liu Zhang opened the door and was faced with a mountain of books facing him.
More than 20 books and a large stack of newspapers were scattered on the ground, and Lin Ying behind him couldn't support it anymore, sitting on the ground with a fart, and kept shaking his hands: "I'm tired, I'm tired." ”
Liu Zhang hurriedly helped her up from the ground and asked in surprise, "Lin Ying, what are you doing here?" ”
Lin Ying smiled: "This is a thank you gift." ”
"Books?"
"Yes, books." Lin Ying nodded quickly and said, "Teacher Liu, don't you know what the eighties were like, so you can't write a manuscript?" I think the best way to understand an era is to read books, newspapers, publications, and novels of that year. Mr. Liu, do you think I'm right? ”
"The factory has a workers' club and a small library, which has been closed for more than 20 years. Earlier, I told the old workers that I asked them to open and borrow some books for Mr. Liu to read. As she spoke, she looked back: "Master, please send the book in." ”
"Okay." The two workers each came in with a large cardboard box, one box full of publications, and the other box with newspapers.
Seeing the mountains of books and newspapers, Liu Zhang's heart was shocked.
That's right, the 80 years of the last century was the early stage of reform and opening up, and it was also the turbulent era of great social transformation. In just ten years, major historical events have occurred intensively, making people dazzled, and it is simply a big situation that has not been seen in 5,000 years. It was from that era that society began to progress rapidly, and China developed from a poor and white agricultural country to the world's largest industrial country and the second largest economy, creating a great miracle in human history.
People who lived in that era were naturally influenced by the major historical events of the same period.
Only by understanding that era can you really go deep into the hearts of the characters in the novel. Know what they do when something happens.
If you want to understand the eighties, you can only rely on reading, a lot of reading.
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but hold Lin Ying's hand and shook it vigorously: "It's so useful, thank you Lin Ying, thank you." Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, but you have helped me a lot. I accepted this thank-you gift. ”
Being held by Liu Zhang's thick hand, Lin Ying's little face blushed: "Teacher Liu, it's good that you are happy, but you can't just accept gifts, you have to do me a favor." ”
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Lin Ying: "Mr. Liu, you are a learned person, I think I will come to you to practice my lines in the future, and I will ask you to tell me a play." ”
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "What knowledge do I have, you are welcome to come at any time, if you don't dislike me, there is smoke and foot smell here." ”
