Chapter 60: 3408's Last Night Talk (Part II)
When He Tianran heard the news, he was a little surprised.
If this happened to a literary and artistic young man like Li Wang, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
But Hu Yue is a very worldly person in He Tianran's impression, when he wants to devote himself to creation, and when he should to make money, he can completely distinguish it, and this is still his original words, although he himself will not remember, but it will not happen like this......
Could it be that I've really been stressed lately?
"It's not Xiucai, you have a dragon king's son-in-law, you write a tragedy?" He Tianran said strangely.
Hu Yue scratched his cheeks, "That...... The level has to be a little different, it can't all be like an assembly line, although I will not admit that this is my 'work', but people are not machines, and it is a little boring to write for a long time. β
Cai Cianming said angrily: "I look at you, you just made money, and you want to withdraw, I knew that I shouldn't have rewarded you with an alliance leader, RNM's return of money!" β
Hu Yue's head shrank and muttered, "You and the platform are going, how many ...... will I get in my hands?"
He Tianran hadn't read the content of Hu Yue's cool article, but having said that, he also figured it out, co-authoring Hu Yue is tired of writing, and the money is almost earned, anyway, it will be the end if he continues to write, it is better to write something he wants to write......
But in this way, the reader is obviously not happy.
He Tianran didn't start from the plot to persuade him how to write, after all, what they hate the most is to be a good teacher.
Literati are light, and this has always been the case.
What's more, taking a step back, people have made enough money, and everyone else understands the reason, but I just don't want to kneel, and I still need to listen to you crying and leprosy, is there something wrong?
He Tianran took a puff of cigarette and said, "Xiucai, I didn't read it, and it's hard to say anything, so the current situation is, are you being sprayed by your readers or what?" Do you still want to write about it? β
"Write, why don't you write, there is a beginning and an end...... However, I have been sprayed like this, so I don't want to write. Director He, you know how I feel, that's the kind of ...... This group of readers is not worthy of my heart to treat their feelings, I don't know the goods! I write a cool article about the god of war, they scold me for being brainless, I write something with depth with my heart, they scold me for them, this is not a neurosis, then I might as well write something I want to write, anyway, the money is enough, change the vest, who knows whom......"
Hu Yue Zhenzhen had words, and Cai Cianming scolded:
"I think Ya is underdrawn! What are you, you just cheated money and ran away, you deceived our readers' feelings, do you know?! β
"What kind of feelings are not emotional, I see that you usually scold me less, say that the characters in my pen are all paper people, and I haven't seen you put any feelings!"
"Hey, I'm going to kill you today......"
"Okay, okay, what's the noise? Tell me slowly, what's there to talk about......"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two was getting more and more intense, He Tianran hurriedly presided over justice, he pondered for a while, and said slowly:
"Xiucai you know, no matter how outrageous the plot is, how bloody it is, and how bad the writing is, in the process of reading, people's experience and desires, as well as imagination and understanding, will break the boundaries of dimensions, and will allow a person to feel his own destiny from the world composed of words and from the experience of the characters, just like seeing his own image in a different mirror.
Like classic masterpieces, they are more of an output of values or life perceptions, or a big or grand sense of destiny, or small to uneven human nature, which is inherently alienated from people, so readers can try to treat them with an objective vision.
The Internet mainly sells an emotion, an experience, even if it is fast food literature, but the amount of words that are often hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars makes it difficult for people not to substitute for it, so readers are very sensitive and vulnerable to the changes in the fate of the characters.
You let the characters experience tragedy, then to put it bluntly, let the reader also experience a tragedy, yes, writing like this can make the story more full of tension, but ask yourself, when you first wrote this book, did you want to write a tragedy? Or do you have a hot head halfway through it, and you deliberately do it for the sake of being deep and profound? β
"I really didn't think about it at first, but I have my own ......"
He Tianran interrupted: "You don't need me to say this, I fully understand, the feature of the online article is to ignore the head, polish the beginning more than a dozen times, as for how to finish, I won't even think about it, let alone the sad and joyful direction of the plot in the middle of the design at the beginning, you can show off your skills, as long as you have to write it all in full, no matter what the final result is, how the reader evaluates, in my place, I respect you for this-"
He Tianran gave a thumbs up.
When Hu Yue heard this, his mouth moved, and he stopped talking again, and fell into deep thought.
Cai Cianming refilled He Tianran with another cigarette, and complained, "Ya must have never thought about it." The latter glared at him, first shutting him up for a moment.
After a few minutes, Hu Yue asked seriously: "Then Director He, you say, how do you write a tragedy?" β
This question reminded He Tianran of the first conversation between the three of them in the dormitory, when he had not yet used the Buddha beads to cross the ......
At that time, Hu Yue's "theory of tragedy" was still vivid, and he said that it is impossible for those involved in tragedy to gain insight into the overall situation, because once they know their own situation, they must make a choice, and this process of making trade-offs is the beginning of tragedy.
This is his opinion, but it is not complete enough for He Tianran, who is now in this situation......
"Comedy is unknown, but tragedy...... Accidents will not be tolerated. β
He Tianran was a little slow to say a summary first.
Cai Cianming was puzzled: "How tragic is it...... Can't be accidental? What kind of TV series are there now, and I was hit by a car when I went out, or I got a terminal illness or something before everyone was happy, which one was not an accident? Foreshadowing doesn't do a little bit of foreshadowing. β
He Tianran raised his head, thought about it, and said slowly:
"Because most people are doing the opposite, just like Hu Xiucai wrote, a good cool essay, halfway through the writing, and insisted on writing a tragedy, which can only rely on some straightforward twists to lay out the plot, and don't blame the reader for scolding him.
However, in the pen of creators who have insight into the world, tragedy is often predestined and there are clues to follow.
A person, going out to eat hot pot and singing songs, was robbed by bandits in the middle of the road, this is called comedy.
Tragedy is to replace the unknown with the known, he has been reincarnated several lives repeatedly, he doesn't sing anymore, and he doesn't eat hot pot anymore, but no matter what, he will be hijacked and end up being killed by a bomb, which is called tragedy.
What's more, some works begin with a poem that tells you, "This man is eating hot pot and singing for the thirteenth time, when the familiar sound of gunfire rings in his ears......"
Hu Yue argued: "I understand what Director He said, isn't it just to refine the ending of the story and use the highlights to pull people, but how can the established ending be written in advance, isn't there no suspense?" β
He Tianran smiled indifferently and said:
"So, the tragedy is in silence, it's doomed.
If you look at the protagonist's flickering and moving along the way, it is full of stubborn, naΓ―ve and doomed tragic tragedy, tossing for a long time, damn or have to die, how long have you been pursuing the person you liked back then, but in the end you still can't be together.
You can open "One Hundred Years of Solitude" or Yu Hua's "Hard to Escape", the first few paragraphs of the opening paragraphs are clearly written, once the tragedy is doomed, even if it is just a tragic silhouette, the reader is all the meat on your chopping block, and how much you scream and struggle the characters, how heartbreaking the reader is.
At that time, the author's pen turned into a knife of fate, and no character could escape their due fate, even if they were alive and vivid, on the page, they couldn't!
Don't you want to know how to write a tragedy? Don't you want to go deeper?
Come on, just write it like that.
This is called tragedy. β
In the small boys' dormitory, even breathing became quiet in an instant......
In the end, He Tianran took the initiative to laugh and gaged: "Of course, what I'm talking about is not life, your life must be full of variables, how can there be any doomed tragedy, look at it scares you." β
Cai Cianming shuddered and said, "Ouch, that's it, Director He, you were too scary just now, you still have such a dark side in your heart!" I can see that you are suitable for playing the kind of villain who is usually harmless to humans and animals, but is actually a strategizing villain, no wonder you are studying directing now! β
"Hey, don't you want to be personally attacked!"
He Tianran quipped, and on the other end, Hu Yue said "be taught and teachable" again and again, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Then Director He, if you want to write an autobiography of your life, how will you begin?"
"With Director He's family background and emotional experience, that iron is a great cool article!"
Cai Cianming didn't think about it and preemptively gave a natural conclusion.
"What's the use of having a good family? I don't know life, isn't it better to set it up in vain......"
He Tianran stood up, took off his clothes and climbed into bed, and the other two finished smoking cigarettes and prepared to go to bed.
Hu Yue covered the quilt and asked again: "Director He, you haven't said it yet, how do you want to write it?" β
Lying on the bed, He Tianran was full of emotions, and he said softly: "Before I answer, I want to ask you two first, how do you want to write?" β
On the other end, Cai Cassia replied seriously:
"Cai Cianming, male, born in the root of the imperial city, grew up under the red flag, his grandfather is the grandson of the bones, get the number of four taels or three dollars, there is a proverb to praise: for the heart of the most intelligent, do things Xuan Gao close to the noble. Yilu's life is destined, and he doesn't have to work hard to be a rich man! β
"Hahahaha, Cai Cassia Ming, you are really a magic stick! Last time, you told me what kind of rich man you are for five taels or three dollars, why did this change to four taels? It's Director He who deliberately said this before you, and you're close to the nobles, laughing at me! Hu Yue pierced mercilessly.
Cai Cianming responded: "Isn't this life over, I have memorized the bone song very well, and I will write it when I see how I am doing, what about you, Xiucai?" β
"Me? I'll just write it in the same way as He Dao...... When Hu Wenju won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay at the age of 45, he stood on the podium, and in the starry light, he looked at the two long-time best friends in the audience, and his eyes were full of the shadows of the three of them when they were young......
"Gan, you can, at least bring me and Director He, by the way, who is this Hu Wenju?"
"I, my surname is Hu Mingyue, the word Wenju, Hu Wenju is also! Be exquisite! β
"Exquisite, too exquisite!"
"Damn, hahaha......"
The three of them couldn't stop laughing.
Hu Yue said: "Director He, it's your turn, how do you want to write it?" β
He Tianran put his hands behind his head, thought for a while, and said calmly: "Let's use my head mantra at the beginning, it's another day of world peace......"
Cai Cianming asked: "And then?" β
And then ...... And then maybe write about people like me, even if they are born again, they won't succeed or something......"
The two of them were confused.
"What's the matter, Director He, have you experienced rebirth? Even if it's true, it doesn't feel right to mention this suddenly, you have been admitted to film school, and you are also popular as a band, and you can grasp love, career, and study with three hands, and three hands, why is it not considered a success? What a success! β
"What do you know, this is called first suppressing and then rising, what He Dao'er wants to express is that you can live a cow-beep life without being reborn, but He Dao'er, if you put this opening at the beginning of the online article, you must be iron-clad! I thought you'd teach us a lesson! β
He Tianran snorted, "Really?" Hahaha, right......"
Hu Yue sighed: "But when it comes to rebirth, it seems that everyone wants to make up for the regrets in their lives more or less, which makes me feel at this moment, and I want to recite a poem to embellish the ......."
Cai Cianming cheered and said: "Come on, come on, it's twelve o'clock in the evening, it's time for EMO, Xiucai, start your performance." β
Hu Yue cleared his throat and said:
"Why do you come to plant plantains, you are also chic in the morning and dashing in the evening.
It's Jun who is too bored, planted plantains, and complains about plantains.
I regret that I didn't plant peaches at the beginning, the leaves are green, and the flowers are enchanting.
Now I have no words to tell the mirror, and I am anxious to watch. β
Cai Cianming smacked the taste and said, "Is it the meaning of regretting the original choice?" β
Hu Yue was complacent with his memory of the poems he exported, and said:
"Well, isn't that the norm of life? That's why so many people think about how good it would be if they could go back to the past and do it again, if they could do that, you said yes, He Dao'er~"
He Tianran was silent for a moment, all kinds of sorrow lingering in his heart, and he muttered:
"Abandon the plantain and plant peaches, spring and branches, and summer leaves.
Carrying water and weaving fences to help it rise, the clouds rise to cover the rain, and the clouds disperse and rely on.
But the peach blossoms are more enchanting, attracting bees and butterflies, and they are deeply disturbed.
It's because I'm confused and young, and I planted peach trees, not as good as plantains......"
When Hu Yue heard this, he straightened up from the bed and said excitedly:
"I'll rub it, there are no these few sentences in the original poem, Director He, did you finish listening to the ready-made work just now?"
He Tianran pulled out an arm from under the pillow, covered his eyes, and said tiredly:
"Ouch, what I want to express is that there is no choice to start over, no matter how you choose in life, there will be regrets, it is better to live in the moment, everyone."
Cai Cianming agreed: "Yes, is this kind of regret poem difficult? I want to grow both plantain and peach, the best of both worlds, and the branches are luxuriant! Well, that's it! β
"Tut-tut, I look at you, it's just that the banana leaves are withered and yellow and the peaches are rotten, the text is not thorough, and the rotten wood is not carved! Go to bed! β
"I understand, hey, you scold again!?"
Facing Cai Cassia Ming's scolding, Hu Yue lay back down.
The moon was already high, the lights in the 3408 bedroom were extinguished, and the voices of several people gradually fell silent.
β¦β¦
"Nonsense ......"
"Huh?"
"Write down your one, it's always a tragedy and tragedy, it's cool to be clean, it's a big deal to write what you want to write in the next book, if you finish writing, I'll reward you with a silver alliance leader."
"Damn, really?"
"Really!"
"Okay! As for Director He's words, I've finished writing all the liver explosions! From the head to the nails, I promise no emotion, it's all skill! β
"Cai ......"
"Huh?"
"Tomorrow, I'll call Wen Liang to help you appear in the camera, let's take pictures of your homework, and go home early for the New Year."
"Wow~ brother, you are really my savior! How can I thank you? Yes, this winter, can I ask for a pot of mutton shabu? β
He Tianran turned around on the bed, exhaled, and said:
ββ¦β¦ No, it's just ...... I'm really happy to meet you both......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Who knows, this pair of Wolong Phoenix Chicks did not accept his hypocrisy, and said:
"Brother, what you say doesn't taste right, it's a bit ......rushed."
"Yes, Dad, are you going to die? Is the will ready? Do you have a copy of mine? β
ββ¦β¦ I'm Nima!! β
He Tianran couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up, his face was white, and he said decisively with a mouthful of spittle:
"I sue you two, Lao Tzu will move out tomorrow to live with Wen Liang, don't come back, you two stay in the bedroom fencing in the next few years, don't delay grandpa I run to the embrace of love, my grandfather withdrew, bye-bye, understand?!!"
After a brief silence, a terrible wail erupted in Room 3408β
"Wow!!! Nima ...... Congratulations! We're only freshmen!! You are going to do the things of your junior and senior year now, how can I live without you, Daoer He! β
"Explosion!! He Dao~!! Why don't you invite a table!! You're the head of the house! How willing to leave us behind!! β
"Roll Nyima, the head of the house is not the name you two secretly wrote behind my back?!!!"
