Chapter 718: Inspiration and Creation
"I heard Zheng Yuan say that your new book is a story about all kinds of lost people in a hotel looking for themselves?" When Zhang Qiuxi was struggling to write, Hongdou came over, looking full of curiosity.
Zhang Qiuxi raised his head and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
Hongdou said: "It's a big problem, isn't being a girl for a lifetime a story of finding yourself, and you have to write another one for Mao?" I really can't think of the subject matter and don't need to fry cold rice, I despise this kind of behavior the most. ”
Zhang Qiuxi said: "Being a girl for a lifetime is the real meaning of chicken soup for the soul, giving readers peace, and stories giving people the courage to find themselves, but the essence is still different, and I have decided not to write a hotel story." ”
"Aren't they all starting to write? Changed again? Shangguan Jin also came over, and his eyes meowed hard at Zhang Qiuxi's computer, but he didn't write many words now, so he couldn't see anything.
"Inspiration and creativity also need to be perfected, in a hotel, all kinds of people around a room unfolding a story, think about it carefully or not very reliable, surrealism also seems a bit mysterious, so just change." Zhang Qiuxi said: "Anyway, I feel much better now." ”
Hongdou nodded, and then asked, "It seems to make some sense, how did you change it?" ”
"I converted the hotel into a café, which is like a huge magnet that attracts a group of people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five every day, and among these crowds, there is a girl who shines the brightest, until one day she disappears......"
"Stop!" Hongdou couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Qiuxi's words. Asked, "I just want to know the difference between what happens in a hotel and what happens in a café?" Wouldn't the missing girl just go to that place where people can get their memories back? ”
Zhang Qiuxi said: "Of course it has a relationship, when it comes to hotels, you will think of opening a room." When it comes to opening a room, you think of a bed, and when you talk about a bed, you think of something. This is not allowed. Cafes, in public, there won't be so many associations, safe. ”
"Safe you ghost." Hongdou only had to roll his eyes, and Zhang Qiuxi said: "Okay, don't keep staring at me, now that Zheng Yuan has returned, the fashion female devil will be ready to start filming soon, wouldn't it be better for you to familiarize yourself with the script at this time." ”
Create this kind of thing. It's one thing to be inspired, it's another thing to write about it, and many times the stories that come out are often the opposite of the original idea, and it's not surprising that the ideas that came out of the flash are completely discarded. But this does not mean that inspiration is not important, no matter how irrelevant it is, it is actually an extension of the original idea.
Writing a novel is not just about inspiration, inspiration is equivalent to a point, and then you need to draw around this point, and many times you often find that it doesn't work at all. Or maybe there is a better way to do it on top of that, so that the development will be farther and farther away from the original point.
Zhang Qiuxi originally wanted to write a story that was obsessed with the bits and pieces of the past, so the story of being lost in the future is, in the final analysis, actually about feelings. She had already figured out the general framework. The male protagonist has an unforgettable past, is addicted to it and can't extricate himself, and then meets an identical person.
Around a few rooms in a hotel. A group of room numbers connects several people who are struggling with their feelings, and controlling the rhythm and atmosphere is definitely a literary and artistic intention. But when it really comes time to write. I felt that this was not enough, and I felt that it was just a sour story when I thought about it. Just like watching some literary films before, various characters pretend to be deep in competitions one by one, which makes people can't help but wonder if they have masochistic tendencies, what's the point? It's just a pain in the eye.
Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, don't take out stories you don't like to pit others, and besides, the current writing is going to the Nobel Prize, and a story that twists for feelings doesn't seem to be able to enter the eyes of the jury.
This is also a change in the inspiration and actual story in the creative process, and Zicai Shina said: "Sister, I don't need to be familiar with the script, so tell me about it, I don't understand it." ”
"I haven't even started writing yet, what's something you can't figure out?"
Zi Cai Xina said: "It's also the problem of red beans just now, this story is just a simple move from the hotel to the café, or has all the previous settings been overturned?" The disappearance of a girl doesn't seem to be connected to finding oneself or something, and it doesn't feel like it. ”
Zhang Qiuxi frowned and scratched his head, and paused for a while before saying: "Probably overthrown, at least most of it has been overthrown, it is better to say that the current theme is confused." As you can tell from the age setting of the café customers, this is a story about young people. ”
"Young adult novels?" Yang Jie was about to start the concert plan, but after hearing it, she couldn't help but answer, the expression on her face showed that she didn't want Zhang Qiuxi to nod her head, and she was also full of prejudices about this type of novel.
Then it backfired, Zhang Qiuxi thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems that it can be defined in this way." ”
Youth novels, literally understood as novels that describe the age of youth, such a definition seems to be true, Yang Jie said as if defeated: "Are you really sure this is a youth novel?" If that's the case, you're not aiming for the Nobel Prize, you're going to be a director, right? ”
"Is there any connection between this?" Zhang Qiuxi was in a trance for a moment before he reacted, then waved his hand and said: "Anla, how can I say that my name is also a golden signboard now, with these three words Zhang Qiuxi, you should believe that my youth novels can't be so vulgar." ”
"What's the difference between being young adult novels? It's not that you haven't written, at most, it's just that the writing is a little better than others, and it's a pain in the eye to read. Yang Jie didn't believe it at all, Zhang Qiuxi wanted to teach her not to describe the feelings she wouldn't have, and suddenly remembered that she was more than the fourth girl's "Sadness Flows Into a River".
At that time, she and the "Soloist" magazine were still immature, because the magazine's readers were young, so in order to retain these readers, she copied the novel......
"Anyway, it's going to be different, I don't believe it's going to wait and see." It's useless to say it, Zhang Qiuxi plans to use facts to speak, but looking at Yang Jie's expression, it seems that she doesn't want to read it as long as it is a youth novel, even if it is written by Zhang Qiuxi. Well, speaking of which, she wasn't interested in fiction either...... (To be continued......)
PS: Well, after more than a month, it's finally back......
