Disaster movies used to be one of Zhang Qiuxi's hobbies, watching the visual impact of landslides and ground cracks was indescribable, but because of this, he was not less fooled, and watching "2012" accidentally became "2012 The End of the World". In addition to the apocalypse, there are also various natural disasters**, such as "Burning Skyscrapers", "Tornado" and so on.

There are also many movies about shipwrecks, and Zhang Qiuxi has also seen "Poseidon". But when it comes to shipwreck movies, the most impressive thing is "Titanic", although this movie is not a shipwreck as a selling point at all, it is completely a romance movie. Now we're talking about drifting on the sea, and it has nothing to do with any of that.

Zhang Qiuxi hugged his hands and touched his chin, stood up and said: "I plan to start this story in the form of interview memories, a writer looking for creative inspiration, accidentally learned that someone had experienced an incredible sea drifting incident, so he went to interview, and the story was told from the mouth of the person concerned. ”

"The writer is you, but it seems that no one in Qingxi has ever had such an experience to interview you." Hongdou said so, Zhang Qiuxi rolled his eyes and said: "I am writing novels, fictional stories, and not reporters interviewing news." ”

Ye Qingqing said: "We are not your students either, so there is no need to explain the narrative technique, let's just tell your story." ”

The two of them got inspiration from "Robinson Crusoe" at the same time, Ye Qingqing wanted to know what story Zhang Qiuxi had in mind, Zhang Qiuxi thought about it and said: "The time is the last century, and the location is in the coastal area." The protagonist has a zoo in his family...... Belch. It seems that domestic private individuals can't open a zoo, so it's better to change it to a circus, and the Celestial Circus seems to be quite famous. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a circus or a zoo. Can you think about it? Yang Jie was ready to listen to the story, but Zhang Qiuxi changed it while talking like this, and she couldn't find the fun of listening to the story at all.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really difficult to adapt, Zhang Qiuxi deleted all the inappropriate ones by dividing them by two, and continued: "When the protagonist was seventeen years old, his parents decided to immigrate to Canada to pursue a better life. And the circus is the foundation of their lives, and they also need to be brought together. ”

"I have a question." Hongdou raised his hand solemnly and said: "Although the rich and powerful people in the Great Heavenly Empire like to immigrate. Canada is even more popular, but a circus can't only have the main character's family, how can they bring the whole circus over and let other people follow the immigrants? ”

Zhang Qiu regretted his shame. Thinking only of animals and not people, he continued to modify and correct: "Well, this is really inappropriate. Then don't immigrate, it's better to go to Canada to perform, so it's always no problem, right? ”

"In other words, no matter what, in short, they have to find a reason for them to be shipwrecked, what a tragic family." Yang Jie's focus made people unable to complain, Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes again and again, and said: "According to your thinking, there is no novel to read." Anyway, it's a circus that sets off on a freighter. Incidentally, the protagonist's family also had a dispute with the ship's vicious French chef. ”

At this time, no one interrupted, and Zhang Qiuxi continued: "The freighter has just set sail and encountered a storm not long ago. After the ship sank, only the protagonist miraculously survived, accompanied by a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orangutan, and a man named Richard. Parker's Tiger. ”

"During the first three days of rafting, the hyena was going to die of an orangutan. Having eaten the zebra, the tiger killed the hyena again. The protagonist is left alone with the tiger. Although the tiger is domesticated, it is still a ferocious beast when hungry, so the protagonist must do everything he can to collect fresh water and find food to feed the tiger so that he can survive. ”

This is one of the best movies Zhang Qiuxi has seen in 3D, many scenes in the rafting are beautiful, she also portrayed them in detail, and finally said: "After drifting at sea for 227 days, the protagonist was rescued on a Mexican beach, and the tiger Richard. Parker walked away without looking back. ”

Shangguan Jin was still stunned, and said half-loudly: "It turns out that the island that feels like a paradise is a cannibal island, from your description, this is completely a fantasy story, it feels like 30,000 miles under the sea, it is what you saw and heard along the way, the latter is a science fiction story, you are a fantasy story." ”

"You can say that, so the story is called Life Pi's Fantasy Drift." Zhang Qiuxi nodded with the opportunity.

"Why is it called pie? It's a bit weird, too. Regarding Yang Jie's question as always, Zhang Qiuxi simply said: "You like mathematics as the protagonist, and you don't want to inherit the family circus at all, and his nickname is 3.14......"

Hongdou said: "What is the name, you can think about this kind of thing, I want to ask that the story ends like this?" Although you describe the rafting process vividly, I still don't feel like a novel like this. ”

"Of course it's not over, don't forget that this story was told by the person concerned to a writer looking for inspiration, the shipwreck happened in real time, but who believes such a bizarre drifting life?" Zhang Qiuxi said: "The writer also expressed doubts, and then the person concerned continued to complain that after he was rescued, the insurance company that underwrote the cargo ship came to inquire about the shipwreck, and the reaction was the same after listening. ”

"Don't sue me, the story develops to the end, this is a story of defrauding the insurance?" Yang Jie's thinking is still as out of step as ever, and Zhang Qiuxi suddenly found that it was a disaster to tell her a story and talk about the plot.

No one believed it, so the person told another story. In this story, there are no zebras or tigers, and the protagonists in the lifeboat are the vicious French chef, a sailor with a broken leg, and the protagonist's mother. The chef eats the sailor and kills the protagonist's mother, and finally the protagonist can't bear to kill the chef. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were all dumbfounded, and after a long time, they stammered: "That is to say, looking for food on the island and the like is fake, there is no food on the lifeboat at all, and the protagonist also relies on eating to survive until he is rescued?" ”

Such a shocking truth, no one can be calm when they see it, Zhang Qiuxi spread his hands and said: "The shipwreck happened in real time, there are two stories, which one do you believe?" ”

"If something like this happens, I want the first one to be real." After Hongdou said this, the magazine became quiet, and after another half a sound, Shangguan Jin muttered: "Richard. Parker, I thought it was strange to give Tiger such a name at first, I see. ”

"Well, what's so strange about some people now having a dog with an English name? Hearing you say that, is it difficult to understand what the meaning of this name is? Ye Qingqing was confused, and she couldn't figure out why Shangguan Jin looked like she had suddenly realized.

Shangguan Jin glanced at Zhang Qiuxi and said, "In 1884, a ship called Mu Rhinoceros sank, and three crew members and one named Richard. Parker's 17-year-old man-in-waiting is stranded in the South Atlantic. In the process of drifting at sea, the three crew members killed Richard. Parker, who had eaten his flesh to survive. ”

Ye Qingqing was terrified when she heard it, and said, "You are another story, has such a thing really happened?" ”

"Of course it's a real event." Shangguan Jin continued: "This incident shocked Britain at the time, and it also caused a debate about the law, which eventually determined a common law precedent, and a state of crisis could not constitute a reasonable defense to the murder charge." The three crew members were not punished multiple times in the end, and now Richard. Parker's birthplace also stands a monument to him. ”

"It turns out that there are such stories, no wonder you know." Shangguan Jin himself is a student of law, so it is natural to know such a story, but Shangguan Jin said: "The professor did tell us all kinds of cases in class, but many of them are just stories to listen to, if you want to quote them in China, you know." ”

The judicial system is fundamentally different, let alone the environment, Zhang Qiuxi waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about these topics that will be checked by the water meter, let's go back to the story." ”

"That's in itself a good story for you." Hongdou said: "Besides, your story has been told, what you should do now is to write it out and publish it quickly, I believe that it will definitely cause controversy again." ”

Zhang Qiuxi has not read the original novel of "Life of Pi", but the discussion caused by the release of the movie has a very deep experience, and she only understood these things behind her back after reading it.

After telling the story again, the ideas are smooth, and it is not difficult to modify the appropriate background, but the things about religion in the movie must be discarded, but these still have deep meaning. Originally, the story takes place in India, the protagonist is also Indian, and everyone with a plug-in third brother is a country with an extremely complex religion.

The protagonist of the original book believes in three sects, and there is a lot of space to describe the protagonist's growth process before the disaster, and the religion of this process is the focus. Now that Zhang Qiuxi wants to adapt, she can only throw these away, she is not religious, but she also feels that the feeling of the story outside of these elements is not so strong.

But there is no way, unless you give up this story and don't write it, you can only deal with it like this. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Qiuxi still sat down and decided, put aside the religious elements to make up for his own brain, give the boy a childhood, and then let him encounter a shipwreck, without thinking about any deep meaning, just write it as an ordinary novel story.

As for how readers want to interpret it, it's not something she can control, anyway, some people are good at all kinds of interpretation these days, and religious things should be dug up by people with religious beliefs, and her readers are all over the world. (To be continued)
