Chapter 280: New work: Script "Detective Di Renjie"!

Actually, Dean Yu didn't plan to come over, he has been dealing with school affairs recently, and he has frequent meetings, how can he have such spare time.

However, after thinking about it for a while, in the end, he still found some time and came here.

As an important leader of the Chinese major, Dean Yu naturally pays special attention to students' literary creation ability.

This time, the establishment of the Literary Creation Exchange Association and the school's journal, he boasted in front of the school leaders, and he had to make some achievements.

Therefore, under the kind invitation of Li Hanming and the others, he came over with great expectations.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that He Yun, the "hands-off shopkeeper", was actually there, and he was still exchanging creative experiences with everyone.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Let's talk, let's talk! You don't have to worry about me, just as I don't exist. Dean Yu smiled at everyone, found a random place and sat down.

Although Dean Yu said this, everyone still felt very restrained.

Fortunately, at this time, He Yun opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think is the best theme to create?" Is it poetry? Prose? Still is? ”

"Poetry, of course! Poetry has a small number of words, and it can be written in one go, as long as you can find a hint of inspiration. ”

"I also think it's poetry, especially the poetry of Beidao and Gu Cheng, I like it the most."

"I don't think poetry is the best to write, I think prose is the best to write."

"Poetry and prose are not easy to write, but they are actually the best literary genres to write."

.......

Everyone's answers were almost varied, but He Yun summed it up and found that most people thought it was the best to write.

In addition, prose and poetry were also voted in favor.

As for other literary genres, almost no one mentions them.

For such a result, He Yun was naturally a little disappointed.

The reason why he would ask such a question to everyone was, of course, because of "selfishness", but now, he could only sigh secretly, and was just about to open his mouth to continue, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Dean Yu suddenly interjected.

"I just listened to everyone's speeches, I have a different idea here, in my opinion, there is no so-called good writing in literary genres, as long as everyone is willing to spend time and thought, no matter what literary genre, you can write good works, even if it is a script."

As soon as Dean Yu's words came out, He Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Script? Yes! Screenplay! I've tried to write prose and reportage, but I've never written a script or a poem, so why don't I try to write a screenplay? ”

For the creation of scripts, He Yun naturally has studied systematically, so it is natural to create a script.

What's more, at present, scripts are not an unpopular literary genre, and many mainstream magazines have published various scripts.

Especially in a national-level magazine like "People's Literature", the frequency of publishing scripts is very high, second only to poetry and prose.

Moreover, today's script creation is not like the scripts of later generations, which can be described as "excellence" in four words.

.........

And after having this thought, He Yun naturally had no thoughts about the next exchange.

No, after chatting with everyone for a while, he found a chance to get out and went back to the dormitory.

More than ten minutes later, in front of the table, as soon as He Yun sat down, he immediately found a pen and paper and thought secretly.

First of all, of course, it is not difficult to determine the genre, or theme, of the script, because in today's screenplay, social topics are the most commonly used themes in script writing.

For example, the topic of reform, the topic of family life, and the topic of satirical criticism are the first choice for the current script.

However, He Yun thought about it, but he did not plan to use these common script themes, but chose ancient themes.

Of course, ancient themes are only a big framework, in fact, ancient themes can be divided into historical romance, costume martial arts, costume suspense detectives, costume myths and so on.

"Historical romance is too ordinary, martial arts ..... It's a bit of a bad fit for magazines like "Contemporary" literature, as far as mythology goes..... It's a bit too empty, and the suspense detective.... Seems to work. ”

In fact, the so-called suspense detective theme is called the detective reasoning theme in the West, and it is called the public case theme in ancient China, and the most famous one is, of course, the three major public cases of "Di Gong Case", "Bao Gong Case" and "Shi Gong Case".

And the movies and TV series derived from it are almost household names and everyone knows them.

Especially the first two, "Di Gong's Case" and "Bao Gong's Case" are the most famous.

Needless to say, "Di Gong's Case", like "Shi Gong's Case", was written in the late Qing Dynasty, and later with the spread of the Dutch sinologist Gao Luopei's "Tang Di Gong Case" around the world, Di Renjie, the prime minister of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, also became famous and world-renowned.

And related film and television works are also endless, in the mainland, the most famous is naturally "The Legend of Di Renjie" filmed in 1986 and 1996.

Of course, the post-90s generation may not be very familiar with this, but when it comes to the "Detective Di Renjie" series, whether it is the post-80s, post-90s, or even post-00s, you can think of the exciting theme song, as well as the "Li Yuanfang" and the chubby "Master Di".

He Yun is naturally the same.

As for "The Case of Bao Gong" and "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", although one of the two major public case themes was written in the Ming Dynasty and the other in the Qing Dynasty, the characters involved have many similarities.

His film and television works are in Xiangjiang, Taiwan Island and the mainland, and there are many classic works.

Especially the two major film and television drama series "Bao Qingtian" and "Young Bao Qingtian", the former is from Taiwan Island, but it is well-known in the mainland, Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island.

And the latter has also become a classic memory of a generation in the mainland.

It can be seen that the theme of suspense detectives, or the theme of public cases in ancient times, has a pivotal position in the minds of the Chinese.

To put it more bluntly, it has a wide audience, and you don't have to worry about not having readers at all.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons why He Yun chose this theme, in fact, there is another important reason why he chose this kind of theme.

That is the controversial core theme of "law and emotion" involved in the theme of detectives.

After all, in the minds of the Chinese, "law" is often accompanied by "human feelings", which is completely different from the Western worldview.

In the West, "law" is "law", but in the hearts of the Chinese, "law is greater than affection" and "affection dissolves in law", both of which exist.

At present, in this important period of reform and opening up, "law" and "love" have already become a very controversial social topic.

This is reflected in both the mainstream media and the film and television industry.

Among them, the most impressive thing for the Chinese people is a very influential movie.

That's right, it's "In and Out of Court" from 1980 (it's a really good 80s movie, I highly recommend checking it out).

From this movie, it can be seen that throughout the eighties, was it important to "govern the country according to law and strictly enforce the law"? Or "love is greater than the law", there has been a huge social controversy.

Therefore, writing a script with this kind of theme, at the moment, there is no problem at all.

Of course, more importantly, mainstream magazines such as "Contemporary" Literature and "People's Literature" represent the state, and their publication of such legal topics is completely in line with the spiritual requirements of their superiors.

As far as He Yun is concerned, there is actually a great advantage in creating scripts with this kind of theme.

That's right! That's the collection of materials.

After all, the ancient public case is ready-made material.

As long as He Yun is carefully selected and processed, he can create a script that contains his own thoughts.

.........

After returning from the exchange meeting, He Yun was at the table all afternoon, writing and drawing.

After careful consideration, in the end, He Yun circled the "Di Gong Case" as the material for the creation of this script.

However, after all, the public case is, and the script is another literary genre, and although the two have a lot in common, they are still fundamentally different.

For this reason, a lot of adjustments need to be made in adaptation and creation, including the adaptation of the plot, the addition and deletion of characters, and the integration of supporting roles.

No, in the next few days, when He Yun found three copies of the 19th edition of "The Legend of Tang Di Renjie's Case Breaking" from Xinhua Bookstore, he was even more determined in his thoughts.

These three books of "The Legend of Di Renjie's Case Judgment in the Tang Dynasty" published by the Ganlong Provincial People's Publishing House last year have indeed made a qualitative leap compared with the original "Di Gong Case".

The original version of The Case of Di Gong was written by an unknown author in the late Qing Dynasty and was adapted from folklore.

The "Legend of Di Renjie's Case in the Tang Dynasty" was written by a Dutch sinologist based on "The Case of Di Gong", which collected some stories about Di Renjie that circulated among the people, and he incorporated many reasoning, suspense techniques and philosophical thoughts.

It can be said that although the stories are still those stories, the plot has become rich and three-dimensional, and the image of Di Renjie created has instantly become a real "detective".

And when He Yun read through these three books, he couldn't help but think of a certain TV series in his mind.

"Or ..... Shall I simply borrow the setting of "Detective Di Renjie"? ”

As soon as this idea came out, He Yun felt more and more that this method was feasible.

After all, in Western detective reasoning themes, dual protagonists are often seen. For example, this is the case with "Sherlock Holmes", Sherlock and Watson are typical double protagonists, and the CP sense is appropriate.

As for the reasoning method, it can generally be divided into two schools: "physical reasoning" and "psychological reasoning".

Of course, there are factions that have both.

However, these are far away, let's go back to the present.

He Yun's "Detective Di Renjie" is very different from the ancient public case, if it is divided according to the Western detective reasoning, psychological reasoning and physical evidence reasoning can be said to exist at the same time.

For this, he himself is more recognized.

In his opinion, both physical and psychological reasoning are important.

Therefore, in the script "Detective Di Renjie" that he wrote next, he is also ready to use these two ways of reasoning.

"By the way, and the selection of story materials? With so many materials, which ones should I prefer? At this time, He Yun couldn't help but secretly think about it again.

"I don't have too many words in this script, at most 10,000 or 20,000 words, so ..... The story must be typical and prominent, and be able to better integrate into one's own thoughts...... Why don't you learn from it again? "Forget it, if I continue to learn from it, then wouldn't it be plagiarism? I'd better think of this storyline myself, otherwise, I might as well not write this script. Thinking of this, He Yun suddenly shook his head.
