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

Chapter 187 People's Artist is online! I am the box office guarantee! What era is it? Is there still anyone who believes in pure love?
Comedy is about tearing apart the worthless things in life for people to see, while tragedy is about destroying the valuable things in life for people to see.

Throughout history, all the literary classics that have left a deep impression in history are:

Most of them have regrettable and unacceptable tragic endings?

In the classic of literature "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Daiyu died of tears on the night of Baoyu's wedding, and Wang Xifeng died unjustly in prison. With the decline of the once prosperous Jia Mansion, everyone in the Jia Mansion had an extremely tragic ending.
The classic of literature "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells the story of the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were loyal to the sky, or Cao Cao, a famous general. In this nearly 100-year struggle among heroes, none of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu had a good ending. In the end, they were all replaced by the later Sima family.
In this day and age, it's rare to see something like The Crucible.

A tragic work that tells a tragic story from beginning to end!
dark.

asphyxia.

Depression.

After reading the book "The Crucible", all kinds of negative emotions lingered in my mind and could not be dispelled for a long time.

Even Su Tong, a well-known writer for many years, was moved after personally reviewing The Crucible, and even took the initiative to write a review for the book:
【Don't forget the darkness hidden in the sunshine. 】

【We need to pay attention to minors and those vulnerable groups who cannot speak out.】

Whether a book can pass the review depends on many factors.

First, does the story take place in the country?

Just like in movies, most of the violent and bloody cases occur in Southeast Asia. If the illegal cases depicted in a book occur abroad, the censorship will be much less stringent. This has almost become a consensus.

Second, is the writer famous enough?
The review standards of an ordinary writer and a famous writer are completely different.

When you hold hands and draw wires will be reviewed.

I turned into a human pile driver, and fired machine guns and high-speed cannons. For details, please refer to the ending of "Qin Di"
The third, and most crucial, point is the power behind the magazine that serialized this book.

Is it hard enough?

The October magazine is one of the four major names in the domestic mainstream literary world. The types of articles that the magazine excels in publishing are medium-length novels and medium-length and short-length plays.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of magazines and periodicals should know that in the "October" magazine, there is a special column called "October·Novel", which is dedicated to publishing excellent novels. It is published bimonthly on the 10th of every even month.

Coincidentally, the university responsible for the October Novel column is Beijing Normal University, and Professor Su Tong is an honorary professor of Beijing Normal University. This is why Professor Su Tong wrote a review for Jiang Hai's The Crucible.
Judging from the story itself, "The Crucible" depicts illegal cases that occurred in South Korea, which is inherently conducive to passing the trial.

Judging from the writer's fame, Jiang Hai has surpassed the fame of ordinary writers and joined the ranks of well-known writers. He can indeed enjoy some rights that exceed those of ordinary writers.

Judging from the strength of the publishing house itself, behind a well-known magazine like October stands not only Beijing Normal University, but also the entire China Writers Association.
With the mutual blessing of these three factors, Jiang Hai's novel "The Crucible" was finally completed.

Able to be published in the country!
"You really did it?" Upon hearing the news, Xiao Linyu looked at Jiang Hai with eyes full of disbelief.

Although Jiang Hai is only in his early twenties, and even now he is still a sophomore student.

but why.
How could this guy be so powerful?
"First it was Ta Kung Pao, then October. The key is that it was less than two months."

"You can always pass the manuscript successfully?"

"Your efficiency is really terrifying."

Xiao Linyu couldn't believe it. In just one summer vacation, a sophomore student from Jiang Hai could actually have his manuscripts published in two mainstream authoritative domestic literary journals, "Ta Kung Pao" and "October"?
You know, getting your manuscript accepted in the "October Novel" column is as difficult as a doctoral student wanting to publish an SCI paper with an impact factor of 8.0 in a scientific journal.

Even so many well-known authors and authoritative professors cannot accomplish this.
Jiang Hai actually accomplished it so easily?

Anyone who witnesses this incident will find it incredible!

"Lucky." Jiang Hai smiled, then shrugged at her nonchalantly, "I don't have much talent, and the fact that I was able to pass the manuscript was purely a fluke."

"So what's the matter that brought you here to see me today?"

In this world, there is a kind of person whom we call lucky guy.

I got full marks in the exam accidentally, it was just luck.

I accidentally got into Tsinghua University when I took the college entrance examination. It was just luck.

Obviously everyone is terribly poor, and then suddenly one day he wins the lottery of 500 yuan and becomes rich overnight. In the eyes of everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred, he puts his hands behind his back, turns around and says to you calmly:
"It was just a fluke."

Although Jiang Hai said "lucky", Xiao Linyu didn't know why she always felt that Jiang Hai was like this.
It just has a very compelling feeling?
"If possible, I'd like to try my luck." Xiao Linyu couldn't help but complain to Jiang Hai in a low voice. She took out a thick stack of account statistics from her bag and said, "The teacher asked me to come and give you this. This is the account statistics of Chenghai Grand Theater for the past two months. Please take a look."

In the field of drama.

"Thunderstorm" and "Tea House" should be evergreen box office hits in major theaters?

"Thunderstorm" is Mr. Cao Yu's representative work.

"Teahouse" is a classic work by Mr. Lao She.

In major theaters across the country, the attendance rates of "Thunderstorm" and "Teahouse" have generally remained above 75%, and have been so for decades.

This should be one of the beautiful memories that excellent classic dramas bring to the people?
However, since the announcement of the list of this year's Cao Yu Drama Literature Award, the two plays written by Jiang Hai, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai and The Injustice of Dou E, have brought the attendance of major theaters to -

It actually broke through 75% and reached a rare 80%?

This applies to the entire field of drama.
It is something that I have never heard of or seen before!

Over the past few decades, there have been very few cutting-edge dramas like "Butterfly Lovers" and "The Injustice of Dou E", and their attendance rates actually exceed those of classic dramas such as "Thunderstorm" and "Tea House"?
Moreover, this kind of attendance rate surpassing is not just for one or two games, but for every game!
A newcomer in Jianghai can achieve such results——

This is simply incredible!

Jiang Hai took a look at the account book Xiao Linyu brought and found that it not only recorded the attendance statistics of Chenghai Grand Theater in the past two months, but also recorded some reviews of the drama by the audience:

"'Liang Zhu' is so tear-jerking. This is definitely the most touching drama I have ever seen, bar none! Wuwuwuwuwuwu"

"The Cao Award is worthy of being the Cao Award. The value of "Liang Zhu" is absolutely beyond doubt! When Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both turned into butterflies, my eyes were swollen from crying. But why do I personally feel that the other four Cao Award-winning plays are not even one-tenth as good as "Liang Zhu"? Is it my illusion?"

"I don't understand why "The Injustice of Dou E" only got one nomination? Blood splattered on white silk, snow in June, three years of drought. Isn't this better than some other crap? From my personal opinion, I think "The Injustice of Dou E" is better than "Butterfly Lovers"!"

"But why did "Liang Zhu" win an award but "The Injustice of Dou E" didn't? Why did the other four shitty plays outperform "The Injustice of Dou E"? Is there something shady going on with the judging panel? I don't understand."

"Mr. Cao Yu wrote Thunderstorm at the age of 20, and Jiang Hai wrote Butterfly Lovers at the age of 20. I'm afraid Jiang Hai will become the next Cao Yu."

The charm of drama lies in that it allows the audience to experience the actors' superb acting skills on the spot. This type of performance carries the cultural heritage of the times and also gives the audience the spiritual fire of purification, progress and enlightenment of beauty.

At first, Jiang Hai just had an idea.

He just wanted to try and see if he could find another way to "touch" the audience besides traditional literature.

It was just a casual try.

谁料
It was completed so well?
After watching "Liang Zhu" and "The Injustice of Dou E", quite a number of fans and audiences directly praised Jiang Hai as "the successor of the new era drama field!"

“A long-lost people’s artist!”

“The epitome of folk tragedy drama.”

It must be said that the ability to combine the two elements of "tragedy" and "gorgeous stage effects" so well is unprecedented among the entire new generation of Chinese writers.
Jianghai is also unique!
A cultural center is a place where various exhibitions, lectures, trainings, etc. are held to popularize scientific and cultural knowledge, carry out social education, and improve the cultural quality of the masses.

The cultural center will also organize group activities from time to time for the literary youth and writers who join the center, such as folk songs, poetry readings, and drama screenings.
When the clerk Lin Mingxu, who was also Xiao Lin who was in charge of receiving the public, followed the activities organized by the Cultural Center, he went to Chenghai Grand Theater to watch the drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

Since returning from the Grand Theatre.

He looked dazed, and kept repeating one sentence:

"Nine times out of ten, love is sad"

Zhu Yingtai remained loyal to her love until her death.

Liang Shanbo was devoted to his love.

All of this left a deep impression on him, a single man with no emotional experience at all.
It's like his emotions are out of control.

The first thing he did after returning from the Grand Theater was to find Jiang Hai, the original author of the play. He wanted to verify a fact with Jiang Hai:
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai must have been together in the end, right?"

"Even if they die, they can still live happily together in another world after both of them turn into butterflies."

The end of "Liang Zhu" is an open ending, using the metaphor of "both turning into butterflies", implying that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai meet again in another world in another form of life.

However, Jiang Hai rejected the clerk Xiao Lin's request without hesitation:

"No, they're not together!"

"There is no resurrection from the dead!"

"Where do heaven and hell exist in this world?"

"In fact, whether it's Zhu Yingtai or Liang Shanbo, they died a long time ago, and they are completely dead. How could they still be together when they are already cold?"

When Jiang Hai, as the original author, personally admitted to Xiao Lin:
“The reason why I wrote the metaphor of the two turning into butterflies is not to tell a happy ending, but just to make it more acceptable to the audience.”

"Since you have asked sincerely, I will tell you everything—"

"Liang Zhu died a long time ago. Those two butterflies actually have nothing to do with them at all."

When Kobayashi learned the news, his worldview collapsed.

In fact, it’s better not to ask about some endings.

If you don’t verify with the original author, you might still have illusions about a happy ending.

However, once you verify it with the author himself, you get a completely different ending than you expected. In the case of transitional substitution -

That would be really sad!
That would be very sad indeed!
"Even pure people like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai couldn't be together, so how can someone like me deserve love?"

Seeing the clerk Kobayashi with a sad face, he left in a daze.

Xiao Linyu looked at Jiang Hai with a puzzled look:

"Why do you have to tell the truth? What's wrong with lying to others?"

“Sometimes, a white lie is not a lie, it is just to make others feel less sad.”

My purpose in writing tragedies is to stab people.

If it wasn't for the knife.
So why should I go to all the trouble of writing tragedies?
"Laughing? You can't lie at all!" Jiang Hai lit a cigarette with a nonchalant look on his face, "Love? I don't think it's love!"

"What era is it now? Is there still anyone who believes in love?"

"So-called love is nothing more than lust stimulated by hormones"

How to judge whether a man is lustful?
You just need to put your finger on his nose, if you feel that he is breathing
Then this person must be lustful for sure!
The fat guy meets more than two hundred girls a year, and as long as the girl is pretty, it is true love!

If you want to regard lust as a kind of love.
Is this love too cheap?

"You know Yang Wei, right? He calls himself a pure love warrior." Jiang Hai raised his head and looked at Xiao Linyu in front of him, "Before I met this pure love warrior——"

"I always thought 'friendship of life and death' was a noun."

Xiao Linyu took a while to react:

"Friends of life and death?"

"If it's not a noun, could it be a verb?"

Seeing Xiao Linyu stunned, Jiang Hai continued:

"It's not just Yang Wei. Before I met so many pure love warriors, I always thought—"

"'Oh' and 'No' are two words that have nothing to do with each other"

A friend of life and death.

If we understand "life" as a living person and "death" as a dead person, then the meaning of the connection between life and death is...
The two words, "Oh" and "No".

If we separate them separately, the meaning of these two words is
When Xiao Linyu understood the meaning of Jiang Hai's words, her face instantly turned red:
"Is this what you are supposed to learn in school???"

In response to Xiao Linyu's questioning.

Jiang Hai didn't care at all.

He put his hands in his pockets and started to rush to the office:
"So, even the Pure Love Warrior has been corrupted to this point, let alone other men?"

"When a man says he likes you, he says the first time he saw you, it was like he met the true love of his life."

"Then please believe me—"

"It's not love at first sight, but love that grows over time."
