may be familiar with the title of "Smoke and Rain", but when it comes to the TV series "Deep Love and Rain", which was popular in later generations, it may be familiar.

No matter how controversial the original author of the work, Qiong Yao, is, her works have indeed been all the rage, just like mentioning martial arts novels, Jin Yong and Gu Long must be mentioned, and when it comes to romance novels, Qiong Yao must be mentioned.

The ratings of "Huanzhu Gege" and "Deep Love" adapted from Qiong Yao's novel into a TV series are very terrifying, not only sweeping China, but also sweeping Asia.

It's just that with the advent of the Internet era, the three views and lines of Qiong Yao's works have created a lot of stalks that make people smile, and there is also a kind of "anti-Qiong Yao novel", which is specifically to abuse the scumbag and junior in Qiong Yao's novel, but it is like an anti-dragon Aotian novel, and often the protagonist of this kind of novel is more Long Aotian.

There is a joker who came up with such a joke based on the lines in "Deep Love and Rain"-

M: Yes! You are ruthless, you are cruel, you are vexatious!

F: Then you're not ruthless? Not cruel? Not vexatious?

M: Where am I ruthless? Where is the cruelty? Where is the vexatious?

F: Where are you not ruthless? Where is not cruelty? Where is it not vexatious?

M: No matter how ruthless, cruel, or vexatious I am, I will never be more ruthless, cruel, or vexatious than you!

Many people think that this is the dialogue in the original novel, but in fact it is not, but this does not prevent it from winning the laughter of netizens.

And Qiong Yao's romance novels, after the rapid development of women's frequency online novels and the blossoming of a hundred flowers, are not so attractive.

But there is no doubt that in this era, Qiong Yao's romance novels, that is, the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly novels that can definitely sell well, are both novel and with plot twists and turns, and fascinating.

"Deep Love and Rain" is a work with the background of the Republic of China in later generations, and in this era, it is naturally an urban background, and everyone knows that the works of this urban background naturally have a sense of substitution.

Of course, Wang Defu is ready to let Ling Jingsu write "Smoke and Rain" with the plot of the TV series in his mind, instead of writing it according to the original novel, mainly because of the ending of the original novel, which is really too sadistic and tragic.

The "I" Lu Yiping in the original novel is talented, stubborn, possessive, and full of "revenge" thoughts.

This character of hers drives the plot.

This is a protester who refuses to accept fate and is isolated in Lu Yu.

In her eyes, Lu Zhenhua is not a father, but an enemy.

In order to take revenge, she did not hesitate to bet on her "love" and took revenge on the people "over there" in Lu Yu by robbing Ruping's boyfriend He Shuhuan.

Regardless of the woman's shyness, she took the initiative to deliberately approach He Shuhuan, and finally made He Shuhuan bow at her feet.

But her move pushed Ruping to death.

When Ruping committed suicide, self-blame and sadness made it difficult for her and He Shuhuan to be at peace in their hearts. He Shuhuan loved her deeply but left her, and Lu Yiping lost the man who was so much in love that he was going crazy.

This kind of extreme individualistic backlash makes Lu Yiping's character and fate show a double spiritual tragedy.

Her love and hate entangled the contradictions between the individual and the family, selfishness and morality, self and others, the heart and the outside world, etc., in order to take revenge on "that side", she did not hesitate to sacrifice He Shuhuan, and when she fell madly in love with He Shuhuan, she was terrified of losing He Shuhuan.

In the process of revenge, he inadvertently gained love, but immediately lost love, and finally ended up with nothing, and he had to accept the condemnation from the depths of his heart at all times.

Lu Ruping in the original novel committed suicide with a gun, which is like in the TV series, even if Lu Ruping was robbed of He Shuhuan by the heroine Lu Yiping, she was lucky to meet Du Fei on the battlefield in the end, and finally came together.

In other words, the novel version of "Smoke and Rain" is more tragic and focuses more on the heroine's revenge, not so much a romance novel, but a dark revenge novel, so after it was adapted into a TV series, it added a lot of new characters, and changed the time and place, making the pattern of the TV series bigger, after all, the location of the story in the original novel is Taiwan.

Qiong Yao's writing of this novel so abusive is also related to her emotional state at the time, at that time, Qiong Yao's famous work "Outside the Window" was published in "Crown" magazine, which caused a sensation, but also accelerated the demise of her marriage.

Because "Outside the Window" is the story of Qiong Yao's first love, Qiong Yao's husband Qingyun was inevitably laughed at by his friends outside, and the contradiction between the two deepened.

He began to stay up all night again, accusing Qiong Yao's "Outside the Window" of embarrassing him, accusing Qiong Yao of being insincere to him, and accusing Qiong Yao of everything.

Qingyun even published an article scolding Qiong Yao in the supplement of a newspaper "The Husband of a Female Writer", making up many false things, and their relationship was on the verge of breaking at the lowest level.

In grief and indignation, Qiong Yao wrote frantically, and this year, she published "Six Dreams" and "Smoke and Rain" successively.

Maybe when Qiong Yao wrote it at the time, she directly regarded Lu Yiping's revenge as her own vent, so in order to vent her happiness, of course, how to write it, but later "Smoke and Rain" was going to be adapted into a TV series, so naturally it couldn't be too sadistic and tragic.

Such an adaptation turned out to be very successful.

When Wang Defu writes by himself, he can be young and let himself go, but when he teaches Ling Jingsu how to write best-selling works, he has a different attitude, he requires Ling Jingsu to write in strict accordance with the outline, and must not deviate from the outline, and delete the plots in the work that readers like to see.

Ling Jingsu listened to Wang Defu's teachings very carefully, and always felt that something was wrong, why couldn't she question Wang Defu when she was an editor, and when she wanted to write a novel, Wang Defu didn't allow her to let herself go?

Ling Jingsu brought this question up quite bluntly.

As a result, Wang Defu looked like a ruffian and said: "Anyway, "Red Rose" is your magazine, and it is none of my business that you let go of yourself and caused sales to plummet. As for my choice to do that, of course, the reason is that I am happy to write that way, and I can guarantee that writing that way will make my work more highly evaluated, and that it will become more famous when more readers can interpret it. In terms of fame and sales, I choose the former. ”
