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

Chapter 267 A dragon emerges from the literary world! Make suffering concrete! The power of tragic literature! A dragon that is so powerful!
How can we let the neighboring school steal all the limelight?

All in all, Chenghai Theatre Academy is essentially an art school that integrates filming, incubation and production.

Otherwise, why is the film and television major of Chenghai Drama Academy so famous in the country?
There are three major film and television incubation bases in China, namely: Beijing Film Studio, Xi'an Film Studio, and Shanghai Film Studio.

Among them, the Shanghai Film Studio is the predecessor of Chenghai Theatre Academy before it was established. In 1913, China's first short feature film was produced in the Shanghai Film Studio; in 1921, China's first formal feature film was born in the Shanghai Film Studio.

From then on, the film industry began to develop rapidly in the country.

Every film and television incubation base has its own characteristics and features in the process of incubating films. Let’s not talk about the Beijing Film Studio and the Xi’an Film Studio for now, and just talk about the Shanghai Film Studio, the predecessor of Chenghai Theatre Academy before it was established.

Most of the films produced by Shanghai Film Studio are traditional themes with some national characteristics. Most of the films produced by this film and television base have a strong sense of the times, such as -

"Humen Xiaoyao", "Doctor Bai Qiuen", "Women's Basketball No. 5", "The Son of the Regiment", "Old Things in the South of the City", "Dead Trees Come Back to Life", etc.
It is undeniable that in the 1960s and 1970s, the films produced by Shanghai Film Studio that were in line with the spirit of the times did have a period of glory.

However, with the rapid development of the times and the economy, the quality of films produced by Shanghai Film Studio has shown a tendency to lag behind the times.

In recent years, the films produced by Shanghai Film Studio that are of high quality and can spark discussion are Olympic-themed films in which the General Administration of Sports plays a part-time role and participates in the whole process.

Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Counterattack

This film is adapted from the true story of Chinese table tennis in the early 90s. It tells the story of the period from 1992 to 1995, when coach Dai Mingjia returned from abroad to serve as the head coach determined to make a difference. The five table tennis players Gong Feng, Bai Minhe, Huang Zhao, Hou Zhuoxiang and Dong Shuai, led by Dai Minjia, launched a Jedi counterattack in the Olympic World Championships.

The content and quality of the movie are beyond reproach.

After its release, it lived up to expectations and won the Best Feature Film Award at the China Golden Rooster Awards that year.

However, despite its quality, this movie has one major flaw:

It just doesn’t sell well!
Although the General Administration of Sport of China and Shanghai Film Studio used official publicity resources to promote the film vigorously, the final box office of "Chinese Table Tennis: The Jedi Strikes Back" only stayed at a little over 1 million yuan.

Despite the strong promotion by the General Administration of Sports and Shanghai Film Group, the film grossed just over 33 million yuan in days.

It’s not bad at all!
It was precisely because there had not been any outstanding film works in recent years that he had seen the Beijing Film Studio and the Xi'an Film Studio, which were also among the three major film and television incubation bases, thriving, while his own Shanghai Film Studio was deteriorating.

It is precisely based on this situation that, during the school's centenary celebration, Shanghai Film Studio decided to join hands with Chenghai Theatre Academy.

Spending millions to collect film and television scripts from the public!
“It is our duty to restore the glory of Shanghai Film Group.”

Jiang Hai flipped through the slogans posted by Shanghai Film Studio and Chenghai Drama Academy on his phone to collect scripts, and was stunned:
“Even the slogan is so childish? No wonder Shanghai Film Studio has been on a downward spiral in recent years.”

"Do you know why your movie didn't sell well?"

“Because times have changed.”

In fact, the film studio's hard power is definitely online. As one of the three major film and television incubation bases in China, Shanghai Film Studio has a complete set of production processes.

However, the reason why the reputation of Shanghai Film Studio has been declining over the years is not because the quality of the films cannot keep up, but because -

Movies with patriotic themes are too homogenized!

Today, "Wolf Warrior 1" has sold 3 billion yuan at the box office. Tomorrow, a bunch of patriotic-themed movies similar to "Wolf Warrior" will emerge and madly reap the dividends of the patriotic film market.

Everyone's aesthetic taste will get tired.

Just like when the "Wolf Warrior" series first entered the film market, everyone's eyes lit up:
“How can Chinese movies be shot like this?”

However, with the continuous influx of patriotic themes like "Wolf Warriors 2345678", even if your film quality is online.
But there will be a day when everyone will get tired of aesthetics!
This feeling is a bit similar to
You will find hotpot delicious.

But can you bear eating hotpot every meal for 365 days a year?
No one can stick to one subject for life. Even the best works will feel nauseous after becoming too homogenized. Of course, this is not absolute. There are some writers who can really break through all the barriers and read a book from youth to old age.
You're right, right, Tang Jia San Shao?
I looked at the news on my phone about the million-dollar prize and online essay contest announced by Chenghai Theatre Academy and Shanghai Film Studio.

On the way back to the classroom from the library.

Chen Hanying turned her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at Jiang Hai:

"Jiang Hai, what was that Medicine God you just mentioned?"

"What kind of movie is this? Is it about selling drugs?"

"If you're selling medicine, what kind of medicine are you going to sell?"

In fact, Jiang Hai wanted to produce the script of "Dying to Survive" a long time ago, ever since the films "Hope" and "The Crucible" that depicted realistic tragedies were released in South Korea and caused a very explosive response.
Jiang Hai has been thinking about it!
"The Crucible" is said to be a phenomenal movie that has influenced Korean society!

"Hope" is said to be a legendary production that has influenced a generation of Koreans!

Since there is a market for realistic tragedy films abroad, then...
“When will our country have movies like The Crucible and Ho Won that depict real-life tragedies so tragically that they make people cry?”

Just when Jiang Hai was thinking.

As he was thinking, he glanced and suddenly saw a classmate in the library who was taking medicine for a cold and fever.

The student held a thermos cup in his left hand and a handful of pills in his right hand. He stuffed the pills into his mouth while complaining:
"Every time I go to the pharmacy, the pharmacist doesn't ask anything, doesn't even take my temperature, and then just prescribes me medicine?"

"Can you prescribe me medicine worth two or three hundred dollars for a common cold?"

"I'm not saying, how can this disease come about?"

It is also based on the introduction of "expensive medicine".

Jiang Hai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of "Dying to Survive":
"First of all, 'Dying to Survive', like 'The Crucible' and 'Hope', is also based on a real case."

"It tells the story of Cheng Yong, the owner of a magic oil shop, who went from being a male health product vendor who couldn't pay the rent to becoming the exclusive agent of the Indian generic drug "Glini". The film wants to express the helplessness and despair of a group of cancer patients at the bottom of society in the face of sky-high priced drugs."

"Secondly, this script is very suitable for the script solicitation invitation issued by Shanghai Film Studio and Chenghai Drama Academy. The subject matter is realistic, the plot is quite controversial, and most importantly, it contains the tragic elements that I am always good at and love."

That was when Jiang Hai was brainstorming and developing associations with the script of "Dying to Survive".

He suddenly thought of the classic scene in "Dying to Survive":

[The protagonist Cheng Yong was exposed for selling the Indian generic drug 'Glini'. The police tracked him down to the slums, hoping to get information about 'Cheng Yong', the fake drug dealer, from the mouths of these cancer patients.

Just as the police were questioning him.

An old woman in her 80s limped up to the police.

She pleaded with the young police officer in front of her in a tearful tone, almost like begging:

"I have been ill for three years. I have been taking genuine medicine that costs 40,000 yuan a bottle for three years. My house has been ruined and my family has been bankrupted by me. Now I finally have cheap medicine but you insist that it is fake. Don't we know whether the medicine is fake or not?"

"That medicine only costs 500 yuan a bottle, the drug dealers don't make any money at all. Who doesn't have a patient in their family? Can you guarantee that you will never get sick in your life? If you take him away, we will all have to wait for death. I don't want to die, I want to live."

"Please, stop pursuing fake drug dealers."】

Regardless of other things, just remake and reproduce this famous scene and put it on major online platforms.

Isn’t that touching?
Wouldn't that make people cry to death?
Facing Chen Hanying's continuous questioning:

"Jiang Hai, what on earth is your movie 'Dying to Survive' about?"

Come back to your senses from your thoughts.

Jiang Hai pondered for a moment, then began to organize his thoughts:

“This is basically what it’s about.”

"A criminal merchant who was penniless and sold magic oil was in dire straits. When he was most desperate and helpless, he suddenly discovered a business opportunity. The extremely expensive medicine in China was actually very cheap abroad. It was precisely with this business opportunity that he began to take advantage of the information gap and use the form of buying low and selling high to transport foreign medicines to China for sale. In just less than three years, he..."

"He had money, a house, a girl, and a car. From then on, he reached the peak of his life and lived a rich and comfortable life! Based on his legendary experience, later generations called him the God of Medicine, and his experience was remade into a movie! Summarize the content of this movie in one sentence"

“This is an inspiring story of an ordinary person who turned into a successful person!”

Don't know why.

As Jiang Hai spoke, he seemed to be unable to control his emotions. He began to mutter and laugh:
"If this movie were made, wouldn't it be awesome?"

"Such an inspiring story, if it were filmed and shown to children, it would definitely heal them."

I don't know why, but I saw Jiang Hai laughing.

Chen Hanying felt a little strange for no reason:
"Inspirational?" "Healing?"

"See which of these two words you can relate to."

All the works written by Jiang Hai
Is that inspiring?

Is there a cure for that?

Not to mention any specific work, but every one of Jiang Hai's works, which one does not make the audience and readers choke up and cry?
This is the story of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

This is the case with “The Crucible” and “Hope”.

The same is true for "Sanmao's Wanderings" and "Year Hare Affair".
Based on her consistent understanding of Jiang Hai's works, Chen Hanying immediately refuted what he said:

"Do you think I will believe what you say?"

"I can't believe it at all!"

For some people, just looking at their appearance, even if you do nothing, you just stand there and look at them quietly.
You will want to laugh for no reason.

For example, Shen Teng and Uncle Benshan.

But for some people, even if you just hear their name, even if it's just a faint shout from someone else.
You will feel fear for no reason.

Obviously, Jiang Hai is one of these people. He is far ahead of others in the field of "healing" people. He is the king of this track.

Jiang Hai did not refute Chen Hanying's complaints, but just bowed slightly to her:

"Thank you so much~"

Autumn is the season when the leaves turn yellow.

Walking on the tree-lined path of the campus, the yellow birch trees on both sides are rustling with the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze.

At this moment, it looks like a scene from an idol drama.

A tall, sweet-looking girl, wearing warm-colored clothes and a beautiful and slightly mature brown scarf.

Standing under the birch forest.

Beside her stood a handsome, well-built boy.

The two were playing and joking.

Suddenly, the two looked up and looked at each other. As if they were electrocuted, the boy and the girl's eyes intertwined.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

This was the first time for Chen Hanying, who had a good upbringing, to be alone with a boy at such a close distance.

Feeling the scorching gaze of Jiang Hai.

For some reason, Chen Hanying suddenly felt inexplicably flustered. She hurriedly lowered her head to avoid looking at Jiang Hai.

At this moment, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of her own heart beating wildly.

bang bang.

bang bang.

bang bang.

"You, what are you looking at me for?"

The blush on her cheeks spread from her slender white neck to her ears. At this moment, Chen Hanying looked so shy and charming.

Usually this is the best time to confess. In idol dramas, there will be a couple confessing their love to each other:
"Ou Haochen, I summon you~"

"I also declare you, Chi Zao Zao~"

It is also because she has watched too many idol dramas that Chen Hanying is frantically imagining at this moment:
"He's not going to confess to me, is he?"

"But mom said that I can't date before I graduate."

"But if he really confesses to me, what should I do?"

Although she appeared calm on the surface, Chen Hanying's heart was already surging at this moment.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Jiang Hai walked slowly towards Chen Hanying, feeling very oppressive.

Just as the distance between the two people was getting closer, Chen Hanying's heart was beating wildly and she could hardly control it.

"Jiang Hai, don't do this."

But who would have thought that she wouldn't even have the chance to say anything to refuse.

Jiang Hai's words stunned Chen Hanying:
"If I punch a beautiful girl like you, you will probably cry for a long time, right?"

"What did you say?" Chen Hanying was stunned.

"One punch is not enough?" Jiang Hai hesitated, then glanced at his sandbag-sized fist and asked a soul-searching question, "How about two punches?"

An angry female voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"Jiang Hai, you bastard."

Roses cannot be grown in the Northwest, and hammering you to death is my most overwhelming love.

Jiang Hai has mastered the essence of the Northwest Hammer King's way of picking up girls——

Treating girls badly is a crime!
"You treat me badly, I have to beat you up."

"If you're too nice to me, I'll beat you up!"

Who knows what kind of fancy moves Jiang Hai is doing at this moment?

Capital, City Hall.

The leadership of the China Writers Association is gathered in the conference room, concentrating on holding a literary seminar.

Tie Ning, the chairwoman of the China Writers Association, looked at the large screen in the center of the conference room in disbelief. Her tone was filled with shock that could not be concealed:
"You mean to say."

"The sales of Jiang Hai's new work, The Sun Also Rises, in the North American literary market not only surpassed those of Zhen Yun and Lao Jia, but even surpassed those of quite a few European and American writers?"

It was like I felt the frustration coming from deep within my heart.

After a while of silence.

Liu Zhenyun still spoke out the reality that he had to accept:

"To be precise, not more than."

"The sales of Jiang Hai's new book are twice the combined sales of Lao Jia and I."
