Chapter 23: "Creation"
"Appropriate sorrow can indicate the depth of feelings, but excessive sadness can prove the lack of wisdom."
"Don't swear by the moon, it's fickle, and every month has ups and downs; If you swear by it, maybe your love will be as impermanent as it. ”
"Noisy love, affectionate resentment, out of nothing, heavy frivolity, strict arrogance, neat chaos, lead-cast feathers, bright smoke, cold flames, haggard health, eternally awakened sleep, negational storage zài! I feel that love is such a thing. ”
"Love is a puff of smoke blown by a sigh; In the eyes of lovers there is its purified spark; The tears of lovers are the waves it stirs. It is the most intelligent madness, the bitter taste of choking, the honey that cannot be eaten in the mouth. ”
The above are all good sentences from "Romeo and Juliet", Su Wen has always liked it, and thinks this is Shakespeare's greatest charm, he has a talent for language that makes people addicted.
"Lao Sha's drama can be popular in the world and passed on to future generations, there is a certain reason for him, or it is inevitable." Su Wen felt that he had to retain these advantages, no matter how he changed them into local Chinese things, these good places still had to be retained.
He quickly finished the first scene.
Sun Pu and Ge Gu in the front are retainers of the Zhu family, and Romeo's friend Ban Fu also appears in the back - Ban Volio can only be called Ban Fu in Huaxia, which is a great surname, and there are celebrities such as Ban Chao and Bangu. In addition, there are also the parents of the Luo Zhu family, who became the marquis of the empire under Su Wen's pen, and they also appeared one by one.
The first scene of this first act is the opening scene, which is not long, and it is more about explaining the grievances of the two families.
Su Wen did not play tricks, and when each new character appeared, he used voiceover to introduce their identities and their relationship with the people in the play.
This is more conducive to the reader's reading, which is clear at a glance, can read smoothly, and straightens out the following relationships.
This first scene seems to be verbose and unnecessary, and there is also an illusion that makes people feel very watery, but, in Su Wen's opinion, this is the most clever part of the original work.
Because the foreshadowing of a qiē is all for Romeo's appearance.
Before Romeo appears, his father's dialogue with his friends is all about bringing Romeo out as the protagonist, and it is also quite masterfully written:
Romeo's father said, "For many mornings he was seen there, shedding tears for the morning dew, and long sighs for the clouds of the sky; But when the inspiring sun began to lift the gray-black tabernacle on the bed of the goddess of dawn on the eastern horizon, my son, who had a heavy heart, fled from the light and slipped back to his home; A man hid in his room with the door closed, closed the window, locked out the bright sunlight, and created an artificial darkness for himself. ”
Before he appears, the image of Romeo will not be portrayed, which is a way of writing that wants to promote and suppress. The depiction of Wang Xifeng hearing his voice before seeing him in "Dream of Red Mansions" is this kind of portrayal.
What personality is Romeo?
Affectionate and welcoming!
Straightforward and frivolous!
A character like Romeo, in the face of cruel reality, will inevitably go to extremes.
In Shakespeare's writing, Romeo's fate was predestined long ago, which was in keeping with his character.
Isn't the reason why Shakespeare's characters are attractive and can resonate and shock people is because fate is in line with human nature.
Character determines fate!
This is the most moving and great part of Shakespeare's portrayal of his characters.
Romeo's fate is predestined, because he is not calm and has some impulsiveness; Juliet's fate is also predestined, because she is naïve and infatuated. In addition, both of them are young, and they both die later, so it is not abrupt.
When Suvin wrote the first scene, he kept these descriptions that reflected Romeo's character.
While writing, I sighed.
He also sighed for the fate of these two people back then, and also had an urge to strangle Shakespeare, thinking that he was too ruthless and wrote both of them to death.
When it came time to adapt, he couldn't reverse this fate. Because if they weren't written that way, they wouldn't be Romeo and Juliet.
A qiē is determined by character!
"I myself and many other friends have inquired about him, but he has kept his mind in his belly, and has always kept his mouth shut so that no one can try to come out, just as a newborn bud has not yet stretched its tender petals in the wind, and has not yet spit its beauty to the sun, and has been bitten by a jealous moth."
When he wrote this, Su Wen was suddenly moved for a moment, and he completely liked the character Romeo.
By the time the first scene is written, the passionate and amorous Romeo is completely at the center of the play.
Su Wen's writing speed was very fast, except for the time it took to adapt the background, it only took him half an hour to finish the first scene.
Just as he was about to start the adaptation of the second scene, his parents outside asked him to go out to dinner.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Wen uploaded the written content to the author platform of Fangyuan Culture Company, which was available for everyone to read.
He clicked and took a look, and the content of the first act and the first scene was all on one page, the layout was okay, and the font size was moderate, which was perfect for reading.
There was no time to do anything else, and his parents' calls were more urgent, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being and go to the dining room to dine with them.
The dinner of the three members of the Su family was very happy, especially Su's father and mother, who kept encouraging Su Wen to prepare hard and write better articles when he arrived at the scene of the middle school students' literary competition.
They don't care if Su Wen can get a good ranking or not, as long as Su Wen can get out of the shadow of failure and start working hard!
They don't ask for much, that's all.
After eating, Su Wen hurried back to the room, looked at the computer, and found that the drama he had just uploaded was almost half an hour old, and there was only one click.
Or did he order it himself!
was not discouraged, and comforted himself with the short time, Su Wen continued to "create".
In the second scene of the first act, there is nothing outstanding about it, except that Romeo has a crush on a woman and finds that the Zhu family is going to have a big banquet, and he is going to go to the banquet under the persuasion of his friend.
Little did he know that in this feast, he was about to meet Juliet, who was destined for him!
There is very little content in the second scene, Romeo's biggest rival appears, Paris in the original book, but here it is Ballys - okay, it's still very awkward, but it's also the surname "Ba"!
As soon as Su Wen finished writing, he uploaded it to the Internet and began to write the third scene.
This scene, in the original book, only fourteen-year-old Juliet played. Such a small Lori is a little too sinful to write, so Su Wen made a little change, and in his version, Juliet is sixteen years old, and Romeo is seventeen.
are all young, they can be naïve, and they can be impulsive, after all, they are still immature.
The fourth scene was very bland and the content was small, and Su Wen uploaded it as soon as he finished writing.
The fifth scene is very important, a Romeo meets Juliet for the first time!
"Ahh The torch is nowhere near as bright as hers;
She hung brightly on the cheeks of the twilight,
Like a ring of pearls shining in the ears of a black slave;
She is the pearl of heaven and landed on earth!
Look at her moving in and out with her female companion,
Like a white dove in a flock of crows.
I'm going to wait for the dance to follow,
Shake her slender hand.
My former love was false or not,
I just met a peerless beauty tonight! ”
This is Romeo's first meeting with Juliet, and it also indicates that this tragic scene is officially staged.
This is a fateful meeting, fall in love at first sight, and wait for death when you see you again.
After the hero and heroine have communicated, the first act ends.
After writing and uploading all the first acts, and carefully revising them, the night was also deep, and Su Wen lay down on the bed and fell into a wonderful dream.
As for whether Romeo and Juliet is popular or not, leave it to time.
