A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 183: Leader of sentimental literature in the new era? Chengxi Dinghaishenzhen! With me here, you don’t have to worry!

Sometimes, it's one thing to just guess on your own.

It’s another matter if he admits it voluntarily.

Although Shen Yue has been guessing for some time, this Jiang Hai is actually [Carry an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night], this [Carry an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night] is Jiang Hai.

However, when I really stood in front of Jiang Hai and heard him admit it in person:

"Yes, I am Yuye."

Even though she was mentally prepared, when she heard him admit such a thing, Shen Yue was still shocked:
"You, you actually..."

Some things can't be hidden after all.

Rather than continue to struggle, it is better to admit it openly:
“I wrote “The Poor Ghost” and “The Tenant” as well.”

Jiang Hai was very good at using the skill of treating people differently based on their situation.

If the person who asked this question was Ye Yingqiu, the owner of the [West of the Old City] coffee shop, she would look at Jiang Hai fiercely with a pair of scissors in her hand:

"Are you Yuye?"

For the sake of his own personal safety, Jiang Hai could only pretend to be confused and answer:
"Who is Yuye? I don't know."

But if the person standing in front of him is a weak woman like Shen Yue.

First of all, she couldn't beat herself.

Secondly, Jiang Hai felt that even if he did, he would be able to control it at will.

Furthermore, he knew that Shen Yue had actually been confused about whether or not he was [Rainy Night] for quite a long time. Even if he didn't admit it, she should be able to find the answer based on her own speculation. Since she had already reached a conclusion on this result, then
What if I admit it?
What can you do to me if I admit it?

"So," Jiang Hai said, taking two steps back nonchalantly, then picked up the stainless steel teacup on the table and pretended to drink tea, "What do you want to do?"

"Do you also want to stab me like those people outside?"

Shen Yue closed her eyes and kept breathing in and out, as if she was trying her best to adjust her emotions.

After about ten to twenty seconds of silence.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her voice trembled a little:
"I, I said, my guess can't be wrong"

The writer I have always admired and respected turned out to be someone close to me.
and
He is still the person whom I used to dislike and hate the most.
God knows how much courage Shen Yue needs to accept all this?

Jiang Hai didn't say anything.

Just let Shen Yue stand there alone, quietly digesting all of this.
After a while.

Wait until your emotions calm down a little.

Shen Yue's eyes changed from panic, confusion, and helplessness when she first learned the truth, and then she began to gradually control her emotions and slowly calmed down.

With his naked eyes, Jiang Hai could clearly see tears welling up in Shen Yue's eyes.

But this sad mood did not last long.

She was forced down.

When she raised her head again, her panic instantly disappeared. She smiled calmly at Jiang Hai and regained her usual confidence:

"If you want to defeat someone, the first thing you need to do is to become him."

"Jiang Hai, I know there is a big gap between us now, but please believe me -"

"One day, I will surpass you!"

It seemed as if Jiang Hai was taken as a role model.

It was as if he regarded Jiang Hai as an object he wanted to surpass.

After saying these words for no reason, Shen Yue finally gave Jiang Hai a kind smile, and then without any hesitation, she turned around and left.

It is worth mentioning that before Shen Yue left, she took a deep look at Xiao Linyu who was sitting in Jiang Hai's seat.

The emotion contained in this look.
Maybe it’s a little complicated?
Wait until Shen Yue leaves.

Xiao Linyu looked at Jiang Hai with a slightly innocent look:

"Why did that girl look at me like that just now?"

"Why do I feel like she's looking at me, as if she's looking at me?"

"Love rival?!?"

A woman's sixth sense has always been very accurate, let alone a female author like Xiao Linyu who has a high IQ and rich experience in writing emotional scripts?
With just one glance, Xiao Linyu quickly figured out the relationship between the two:

"She likes you, but you don't like her. She saw me discussing the script with you, got jealous, and finally walked out crying."

"He ran away, she chased him, he couldn't get away even if he had wings"

As a qualified creator, being able to imagine the plot is naturally a basic skill.

Although she only exchanged glances with Shen Yue, and there was no substantial conversation between the two, Xiao Linyu had already imagined a Qiong Yao drama of unrequited love in her mind.
"Stop it." Hearing this, Jiang Hai looked at Xiao Linyu helplessly, "You are so imaginative, I don't think you should write folk dramas."

"You should write Love in the Rain."

Although Jiang Hai is physically young, his mental age has long surpassed that of an innocent boy.

Most boys of this age probably want to have a sweet love relationship?

But Jiang Hai is different. In Jiang Hai's words.
Maybe he has lost the ability to love someone?
When you see a beautiful girl on the walk, while other boys are still thinking about how to add her on WeChat and fantasizing about whether there will be any further development between the two of them, you are slowly simmering the relationship and unfolding a romantic and impressive love.

Jiang Hai skipped this stage directly.

Jiang Hai's first reaction when he saw the beautiful woman was "cute, want to have sex", other than that, he didn't have any other thoughts, and he no longer had any hope or longing for so-called love.

"It's better to fall in love over time than to fall in love at first sight."

Could this sentence be the true reflection of Jiang Hai's inner thoughts?
"I'm not in the mood to listen to some bullshit romantic love story right now. I just want to make money!"

After shouting this wise words to Xiao Linyu.

Jiang Hai decisively picked up a pen and paper and wrote frantically on the draft paper:
"First, he has to die."

"Secondly, everyone must die"

When you are studying, you will feel that time passes very slowly, especially when the teacher keeps the get out of class going.

Even though it was only delayed for a few minutes
But can it really be said that the days are long like years?

But when you do what you are interested in, you will find it.

How could time pass so quickly?
Jiang Hai felt like it hadn't been long since he had talked with Xiao Linyu.

In the blink of an eye, another two weeks have passed.

In the first week after finishing the conversation with Xiao Linyu, Jiang Hai completed the script writing for "The Crucible". When the script of "The Crucible" was submitted to [Korea Film World Co., Ltd.], there were not even too many twists and turns.

Korean Film World Co., Ltd. immediately launched a heated discussion within the company regarding the film and television adaptation of "The Crucible". After evaluation by the company's venture capital and marketing departments, it was concluded that "The Crucible" did have the possibility of being adapted into a film and television drama.

On the next day, the director of the investment department of the film and television company [Korea Movie World Co., Ltd.] contacted Jiang Hai to discuss the specific costs of purchasing the film and television copyright of "The Crucible".

Finally, after bilateral negotiations, the film and television copyright of "The Crucible" was sold to [Korea Film World Co., Ltd.] for 38 million won. In addition, as the chief screenwriter of "The Crucible", Jiang Hai also enjoyed a share of 0.03% of the total box office revenue.

Thirty-eight million won, although it sounds a bit intimidating, but if you convert it into RMB——

In fact, it’s only 200,000.

Although the price is a bit low, there is no way around it. This is the acquisition price of Korean film and television scripts. For a new screenwriter, being able to sell it for 200,000 RMB is already an upper-middle price.

Korean stars are worthless.

Korean film and television scripts are also not worth much.

Not all countries' entertainment industries are as noble as China's.

If we talk about star chasing——

In the domestic entertainment industry, with one thousand RMB, you don’t even have the qualifications to stand on the sidelines and watch a third-tier unknown star from afar.

But in Korea, for the same 1,000 RMB, you can not only get a signature from a top idol, but also get a warm hug from the idol. The three-piece package of autograph, photo-taking and hugging is full of emotional value.
Even the top idols are so worthless, let alone a new screenwriter?
"I have no doubts about the price your company has offered for the film and television copyright."

“But as the chief screenwriter of the film and television script of The Crucible, I would like to propose several suitable candidates to your company for the casting of The Crucible.”

In fact, the original movie script is already perfect enough, and there is no need to make any changes based on the original script, which would be superfluous.

Jiang Hai sent a series of original leading actors including Gong Yoo, Jung Yumi, Baek Seung-hwan, and Jang Kwang to the Korea Film World Co., Ltd. for reference in the other party's filming and casting.

After doing all this, Jiang Hai lay on the bench and took a long breath:

"Finally, I've put my mind at ease."

Last week, Ta Kung Pao reported that Jiang Hai was the chief writer for Sanmao's Wanderings in a magazine.

Last week, Beijing Film Studio announced that Jiang Hai’s sequel to the original script “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story” had been officially approved.

This week, Movie World Co., Ltd. from South Korea simultaneously released the news that Jiang Hai's original script "The Crucible" will be adapted into a film and television program as the company's next focus.

The moment these three pieces of news were released.

The netizens who previously questioned Jiang Hai's plagiarism immediately started a heated discussion on the Internet:

"Cheng's play is not big, but he created a legend! One film and television script a week? Jiang Hai's creation speed is really a bit exaggerated."

"Is this a fight with a Tsinghua professor? You write a script a week, and you can sell all of them?"

"I used to have some doubts about Jiang Hai's plagiarism, but after reading Sanmao's Wanderings, I don't have much doubts now. Sanmao, like Dou'e, is a tragic character born under the feudal system of the old society. The tragic flavor is so right. I don't believe that the person who wrote Sanmao's Wanderings would plagiarize."

"If Professor Huo Xuehai reported it under his real name."

"If Jiang Hai can prove his innocence, he can prove that he did not plagiarize."

"Then Professor Huo Xuehai is going to fulfill his original bet and exchange his life with Jiang Hai?"

The Internet's netizens are discussing Jiang Hai's recent series of actions.

But Jiang Hai himself didn't care about these discussions at all.

He kept searching the Internet for magazines and journals suitable for submitting his novel "The Crucible":

“If we talk about literary journals, Harvest is good, October and Contemporary seem to be OK too.”

From the late 70s to the early 80s, in the Chinese literary world, led by a series of well-known writers such as Ba Jin, Lu Xinhua, and Feng Jicai, in the mainland region -

It sparked a literary trend called "sentimental literature".

The so-called sentimental literature refers to literary works with tragic colors that are created during special periods and are based on real events. These literary works are mainly novels, but also include poetry, dramas and film scripts.

After entering the 21st century, sentimental literature gradually declined, especially the death of the literary giant Ba Jin in 05, which dealt a heavy blow to the "Sad Literature" school. After the death of a series of great men, the momentum of sentimental literature gradually declined.
I thought that sentimental literature would be silent, but who would have thought that Jiang Hai would appear——

It actually gives people hope for rise again?
What is different from sentimental literature is that Jiang Hai’s works not only depict tragedy, but also focus on describing suffering?

Especially "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" written by Jiang Hai and "Sanmao Wanderings" written by him, these two works really make people see the shadow of the revival of sentimental literature?
Just when everyone thought that sentimental literature was making a comeback.

A considerable number of scholars believe that Jiang Hai is about to take over the great responsibility of "Sad Literature" and become the leader of sad literature in the new era.
Jiang Hai himself responded to this kind of comment for the first time:

"I don't belong to sentimental literature."

"I don't belong to any literary genre either."

“I am just me, and I write what I want to write.”

After responding to the comments of many critics.

Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, Jiang Hai directly submitted the localized novel "The Crucible" to "Harvest" magazine.

"I'll give it a try, and I don't care if it gets approved or not. I'll submit it first."

"It's best if you can get by."

"If it doesn't pass, I won't suffer any loss. I will just submit my work to the next company."

Just as Jiang Hai was waiting for a reply from the magazine editor as usual.

Wednesday, weekday afternoon.

Principal Fang Zhenguo brought a box of premium fruits and a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes, and on behalf of the Youth League Committee of Chengxi School, he sent cordial greetings to Jiang Hai:

"Student Jiang Hai, you have worked hard."

Logically speaking, big shots like Principal Chengxi are so-called department-level cadres.

There is no need for him to express his condolences to an ordinary classmate like Jiang Hai.
Even a little servile?

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hai was still a little confused. He was just wondering what the principal Fang Zhenguo was up to.
Fang Zhenguo offered Jiang Hai a cigarette and kindly explained his purpose to him:

"Student Jiang Hai, thanks to you, our Chengxi Academy's enrollment work is going very smoothly."

After the college entrance examination is over and the results are released, all colleges and universities are faced with a problem:

That is to compete for students!
Through the last [Asian College Literature League] and this [Cao Yu Drama Literature Award], [Chenghai Drama Academy] was ranked among the candidates who applied for the program.

The call is very high!

What kind of school can produce a student like Jiang Hai?

Not only did he single-handedly defeat a series of top Japanese universities.

Punch Tokyo and kick Peking University and Tsinghua University!
He even won the Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, an extremely important domestic literary award. In the face of a number of authorities in the field of literature and drama, he won the Best New Editor award in his first submission for review?
A total of two works were submitted for review, one won the award, and the other was nominated.
It is true that Jiang Hai’s own talent played a role in this.

But are you saying that Jiang Hai’s award had no contribution from Chenghai Theatre Academy at all?
If I tell this to others, who would believe it?

Principal Fang Zhenguo's face was filled with joy as he looked at Jiang Hai. The wrinkles on his face became more obvious:

"Compared with last year, the admission score line for each major of Chengxi Opera has increased by about 30 points this time."

"Among the three major drama schools in China, our Chenghai Drama Academy has the highest rate of high-quality students in this year's drama literature major—"

“Ranked #1”
