Chapter 274: The Loveliest Text

Su Wen received a call from Hou Bowang in the airport waiting hall.

He's going to fly to Shanghai.

When he went to Shanghai, he was reluctant and seemed extremely embarrassed. If it weren't for Qin Hong's strong request, he really didn't want to fly over from Kyoto.

Su Wen really couldn't imagine that the good "Thunderstorm" was moved by Feng Tian to Shanghai for project establishment and filming.

That's right, Su Wen went for the casting of "Thunderstorm". According to his agreement with Qin Hong, he can ignore the filming of this call, but the casting must come forward, because everyone says that no one knows the understanding and positioning of the characters in the script better than the original author.

Su Wen owed Qin Hong a favor before, so he had to pay it back and agreed.

thought that "Thunderstorm" would be set up and filmed in Kyoto, and everything would be done in Kyoto, so even if he participated in the casting or something, he would not be delayed.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Tian tinkered for a while, he actually said that he would go to Shanghai to operate this movie.

Reason?

The reason is that Shanghai has been in the commercial center of the Chinese Empire since a few centuries ago, and after several centuries of development, both the architecture and the commercial atmosphere are extremely well preserved, especially the mansions of the last century in "Thunderstorm", which exist in large numbers.

If you talk about filming "Thunderstorm", there are natural advantages there, and you can't say it if you don't take advantage of it. Feng Tian said that if the entire crew, from the actors to the director, is in that environment, it can help to quickly enter the play, after all, the surrounding environment is the atmosphere of that era, and after watching it, my heart is touched.

With so many benefits, it would be a waste if "Thunderstorm" was not filmed in Shanghai.

The film was set up there, and it was shot there. So in addition to Qin Hong, who has already been decided, Feng Tian also wants to find some local actors in Shanghai to aggravate the overall atmosphere of the whole movie.

In general, in the Chinese Empire, a director has a great say in a movie, especially for a famous domestic director like Feng Tian. As long as the things he decides are not too out of line, even investors will follow his words.

It's just a shooting location, and no one objects.

Therefore, Su Wen was tragic and was asked by Qin Hong to go to Shanghai.

This time to go to the casting, it will take at least three days, if you delay a little, you can't do it in five days.

There is no way. Su Wen could only sacrifice Liu Chunyu, the great god, and took five days off at school!

Five days, another waste, you know, he still has a lot to do! Not to mention anything else, it is to deal with the publication of fairy tales in the "Kyoto Life Daily", even if he is in Shanghai, he has to do the work of rushing the manuscript.

Literature is a thing, once you want to use the word rush. You can imagine how low the quality of the text is. Don't talk about ordinary people writing things. Even if Su Wen has a cheating weapon, thinking about how to write the text to suit the reading taste of this era will be greatly affected, after all, if he is distracted, his thinking will not be so satisfying.

Therefore, he was extremely reluctant to take this trip to Shanghai, and had to buy a plane ticket as a last resort. After dinner, I left for the airport alone.

While waiting for the plane, Hou Bowang's call came.

What else could Professor Hou call for, it was nothing more than the three ancient novels he handed in today.

Hou Bowang was extremely excited on the phone, saying that Su Wen's attainments in ancient literature had reached a deep level, and it was not something he could comment.

Just rely on these three ancient novels. There is no one in the world who can say that Su Wen does not understand classical Chinese.

Since he has been proficient to this point, of course, there is no need to study Hou Bowang's "Ancient Novels", and he will directly pass this lesson to Su Wen according to the agreement.

This is good news for Su Wen, and he even said thank you.

In the end, Hou Bowang hesitated and asked where Su Wen was, he wanted to go to Su Caizi to discuss the creation of ancient novels.

"Discuss the creation of ancient novels?"

Of course, Su Wen shook his head, if it weren't for the memory in his mind, for the ancient texts, even if he was from a professional class, it would be good to be able to read and understand, let alone create anything!

Not to mention those difficult and obscure classical Chinese, even ancient popular novels, he had a lot of trouble reading!

Therefore, for this discussion of what kind of creation, Su Wen was not sensitive, and quickly found other reasons to shirk it. There is no need for anything else, just say that he is at the airport and will fly to Shanghai for a while.

Hou Bowang listened with regret, and sighed again and again: "I won't talk about "Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian", what I want to discuss with you is the character of "Ying Ning", you are too brilliant and outstanding!" The role of Ying Ning can be said to be a classic in literary history! Well, you're about to board the plane, so I won't bother you, and we'll talk about it when you come back and have time. ”

Before Su Wen could say anything, Hou Bowang hung up the phone and said that he would continue to study Su Wen's ancient novels.

Carrying the phone, Su Wen's scalp was numb, he was really afraid of this Professor Hou, if he really came to talk about ancient literature research in the future, wouldn't he Su Wen want to show his stuffing?

"Let's take one step at a time." With a wry smile, Su Wen regretted a little that he had come up with the novel "Infant Ning".

As Hou Bowang said, although some of the stories written by Pu Songling are more popular, such as "Painted Skin" and "Nie Xiaoqian", these are not as good as "Ying Ning" when it comes to essays.

The former can be widely circulated and become more famous with the adaptation of film and television, while the latter completely relies on the portrayal skills of words. For literary, of course, the latter is more brilliant.

Needless to say, the story of "Painted Skin" is bizarre and terrifying, and it has the potential to challenge the bottom line of human psychology, and the fire is inevitable; "Nie Xiaoqian" needless to say, several adapted movies that were renamed "A Chinese Ghost Story" in their previous life, I don't know how many audiences' hearts have been captured!

However, Su Wen, like Hou Bowang, loves "Infant Ning" very much, and since he wants to choose a classic from Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", he will naturally not let go of the novel "Infant Ning".

The success of "Infant Ning" lies in the portrayal of a "laughing" character of Infant Ning, through her laughter, reflecting reality, through her innocence and cuteness, contrasting the vulgarity and conservatism of reality, so as to achieve a self-evident irony and whiplash.

Even if the author has no sarcasm meaning, "Ying Ning" is definitely the most perfect female image in his mind.

When it comes to beautiful and lovely characters and words, Su Wen only admires three works in his life, one is Shen Fu's "Six Tales of Floating Life", because he portrays his wife Chen Yun, who is known as the loveliest woman in the history of Chinese literature; The other is Li Yu's "Idle Love and Occasional Mail", people and things, things and things, all of which are naturally interesting, and the text itself is extremely cute.

The last one is Pu Songling's "Infant Ning"!

No wonder Hou Bowang couldn't help but watch "Infant Ning", and couldn't help but find the original author to talk about it. It's a pity that he, Su Wen, is just an imposter and doesn't dare to fight.

Thinking wildly, Su Wen boarded the plane and flew straight to Shanghai. There's something else going on there.

……

It's the Spring Festival, and it's hard to code words. Here, I wish the majority of book friends a happy New Year and a happy family! (To be continued.) )
