Chapter 33: The Script and the New Book

The script of "Mamma Mia" is simple but actually very simple, the whole story has only two acts, and the time span on the field is only two days: the day before the wedding, and on the day of the wedding, it can be regarded as a very simple and compact story, Xu An only took half an hour to write it all.

But it's hard to say, all the stage scenes, songs and dances are all concentrated in Xu An's mind, and he can't convert these things into words at all, which is very awkward.

But there was nothing he could do, and this thing was not a job that could be done by one person.

"Cats" and "The Phantom of the Opera" are so successful, and they are not created by Andrew alone, that guy had a professional creative team behind him in his early years, and later established a comedy company, and then upgraded to a drama group, not only has creative staff, but also runs the business of the theater, all kinds of talents grab a lot, he only needs to provide ideas, naturally someone makes these ideas plump and then combined, and then colludes into a complete revue.

But Xu An can't do it, he is only one person, and he is also a layman.

As a last resort, he had to put aside the story he had written, preparing to learn about it, and then divide the story into detailed shots like a movie script, and finally find a soundtrack and dance.

Throwing away the script, Xu An got up and stood in front of the window to breathe, the skyscrapers in the distance were brightly lit and would stay bright all night, on the satellite map, New York was the brightest place in the world at night, Xu An thought he was used to the bustling and fast-paced here, but since he began to dream of Stephen, it has become more and more contradictory.

Stephen likes extreme sports and likes to be close to nature, especially some scenery that ordinary people can't see: how many people in these two worlds can experience the magnificence of climbing Angel Waterfall and roaring with the water around them? For this reason, the crew of a movie called "Extreme Thief" also wanted to find Stephen to be a stuntman, but Stephen had been paralyzed for a long time at that time.

Influenced by dreams, Xu An also liked natural scenery more and more, and he spent his vacations in college in the past few years.

Manhattan is one of the few places in New York where you can experience "fake" nature, and Central Park is one of the largest man-made natural landscapes in the world.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of New York, there is a girl named "Bella" in the northwest, a small town called Fox in the northwest, which is remote and rainy all year round.

Bella never thought much about how she was going to die, and while she had had plenty of reason to think about it in the last few months, she never thought that death would come like this, even if she did.

She looked with bated breath at the other end of the room, gazing into the hunter's deep eyes from afar, and he responded to Bella with a pleasant gaze......"

"Twilight" is preceded by a prologue, the content of the prologue is Bella's dream, the purpose is to take care of the plot, and its connotation reflects the climax and the excitement of the struggle in the subsequent text, this design is of course not only to install a suspense, but also to set off a realm where illusion and reality are intertwined, and the virtual and real are perfectly combined.

This seemingly ordinary magical romance novel actually has a very deep connotation and relatively complex settings, but these are not problems for Xu An, who has had the painful experience of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

He now has only one question, a very important one:

The original version of this novel, like "Lovely Bones", is in the first person, and the most terrible thing is that both are created in the voice of a girl!

The original authors of both books are women!

But Xu An has already published a book called "Lovely Bones", and he can't tolerate that his new book is still created with a female vision, so that even if readers don't think of him as a pervert, critics will say that he is abnormal.

So he had to change all the first person in the book to the third person.

It's not a simple thing!

Describing from Bella's point of view can fully explore her heart and let the reader know everything about her at every moment...... But if she only sees the world around her through her eyes, she must see very limited: there is no random appearance of Edward's mental activity in the book, and there is no random appearance of Jacob doing things in a place that the protagonist cannot see.

If you want to change to the third person, you have to make a lot of changes, such as the psychological portrayal of other people, the transition of scenes, and so on.

Therefore, although this is just a seemingly simple change, it will affect the style of the whole book, and if it is not well controlled, it will even affect the coherence of the whole story, and it will affect the reader's reading experience.

This is a big test for Xu An.

And this book also has a problem similar to "A Song of Ice and Fire", that is, in Stephen's world, it has only published four books, and the fifth part has not been completed, because the manuscript was leaked on the Internet in advance, and the author even stopped writing the fifth part for a while.

But the difference between it and "Ice and Fire" is that the entire story of "Ice and Fire" is not finished, while the story of "Twilight" has actually been told, but the first four parts are described from the perspective of the heroine Bella, and the fifth part is replaced by the tone of the male protagonist Edward.

Just changed the perspective, the story is the story of the first "Twilight", but this still makes countless readers full of expectations.

Because in the book, in addition to being a vampire, Edward also has a superpower: mind reading! Telling the story in his voice will definitely be more concrete and vivid, as if opening the perspective of God.

This will involve a troublesome problem: Xu An has changed the book from the first person to the third person, and the third person is commonly known as God's perspective, so that the existence of the fifth part becomes meaningless!

Xu An decided to give up the fifth part, and if there was a fifth, it would also be the story of Bella and Edward's daughter, the half-human, half-vampire little girl Renysme, instead of some insincere "telling the story of "Twilight" in Edward's voice" - if this is also a new work, then this series is not only five parts, it can be written sixth: telling the story of "New Moon" in Edward's voice, and seventh: telling the story of "Eclipse" in Edward's voice......
