A widower's entertainment

Chapter 194 [Story after the war] (please subscribe)
Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

Before Lin Youcheng could send the script of "The Sound of the Wind" to the Beijing Television Arts Center, Zheng Xiaolong had already come to ask about the script. He happened to know that Lin Youcheng had already sent the script of "The Sound of the Wind" to the Beijing Television Arts Center. After I finished writing, I couldn't wait to read it in the room.

Naturally, Lin Youcheng would not disturb Zheng Xiaolong, and asked Zheng Xiaolong to read the script first, and then talk about some plots in the script after reading it.

Although Zheng Xiaolong had heard Lin Youcheng talk about some of the plot designs for the TV series version of "The Wind" before, when he actually read the script of "The Wind" written by Lin Youcheng, he was still shocked.

Yes, it was quite shocking.

With the exposure of the "old ghost" identity of the deciphering genius Li Ningyu, her complex relationship with Wu Zhiguo and Gu Xiaomeng has been more fully displayed, and her dealings and confrontation with the island nation's spy Long Chuan have become more exciting.

Lin Youcheng's script for the TV series "The Wind" is really well written. The plot is exciting, compact and mind-numbing. Not a single line is nonsense, not a single plot is superfluous, and every word can be echoed in the following text.

The key point is that the complex multi-line narrative of the entire drama fully demonstrates Lin Youcheng's superb skills in grasping and shaping characters. The reasoning plot with almost no logical loopholes is really amazing, especially so meticulously thought out, it can even be said that he was stunned. Some of the plots that he couldn't react to and required careful thinking made him hooked.

"Youcheng, your book is so well written!"

Zheng Xiaolong was even a little excited, because when spy war dramas were not particularly popular, Lin Youcheng's spy war drama "The Wind" really allowed Zheng Xiaolong to see a completely different spy war story. It can even be said that It was an eye-opener for Zheng Xiaolong, and it was even more thrilling than when he first read Lin Youcheng's novel "The Wind".

Zheng Xiaolong didn't know that it was inconvenient for Lin Youcheng to talk about the story he was writing, and he was also worried that his words were a bit presumptuous.

"Youcheng, what is the story of the novel you are writing now?"

Lin Youcheng understood what Zheng Xiaolong meant, and this evaluation was undoubtedly quite high.

When Zheng Xiaolong heard this, he was instantly excited. He had always read Lin Youcheng's novels. Whether it was the original "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" or the last anti-war novel "Bright Sword" published last year, he was quite fond of it. I like it, and naturally I am looking forward to Lin Youcheng’s new novels.

Now hearing Lin Youcheng's words, Zheng Xiaolong was naturally very curious and wanted to know what the novel Lin Youcheng was writing was about.

"Young Cheng, is there any foreshadowing in this Anti-Japanese War novel or "The Curious Events of the World"?"

After talking about the script and the filming of the TV series, Zheng Xiaolong naturally collected the script Lin Youcheng gave him and put it in his bag.

"Don't worry, our art center will definitely film this drama successfully."

Because when Zheng Xiaolong was reading the script, he could even think of how Lin Youcheng would shoot this scene. The scenes, pictures, and plot lines were undoubtedly quite intense and exciting, and could even be said to be extremely shocking. .

As soon as Lin Youcheng heard Zheng Xiaolong's words, he knew that Zheng Xiaolong had misunderstood. He shook his head and said, "It's not an anti-war novel. The war after the war is another war, or a battle."

Seeing Zheng Xiaolong's expectant and curious look, Lin Youcheng thought for a moment and said truthfully: "After war, it will still be war."

Zheng Xiaolong nodded, he knew what Lin Youcheng meant, but after reading the script written by Lin Youcheng, he thought it was very exciting and the logic was very rigorous. He said: "The plot is very exciting, interlocking and not careful. Even if I think about it, I don’t understand it. I really have to look carefully to understand it.”

In Zheng Xiaolong's view, the subsequent filming must be worthy of the script written by Lin Youcheng, and cannot be a waste of this script. Both actors and directors must be excellent. Only in this way can the essence of this script written by Lin Youcheng be conveyed to the audience. Film it completely and let the audience take a good look at the excitement of this story.

"Is there still war after war?"

However, at this time, Zheng Xiaolong noticed a manuscript on Lin Youcheng's desk, which seemed to be the manuscript Lin Youcheng was writing. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Youcheng, are you now?" Are you writing a new story?”

Zheng Xiaolong admired Lin Youcheng very much. He now knew very clearly that Lin Youcheng, a writer, was also very knowledgeable about film and television creation, and he even began to discuss the subsequent filming with Lin Youcheng.

Zheng Xiaolong was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Youcheng could actually write a novel about the Anti-Japanese War. This really shocked him. He had always said it was a four-part Anti-Japanese War novel, but it turned out to be a five-part Anti-Japanese War novel?
So, if it is still a novel about the Anti-Japanese War, will there be any foreshadowing in "The Curious Events of the World"?

Seeing Zheng Xiaolong's excitement, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but said: "If there is anything else that I need to modify in the script, we can discuss it further."

"Can you tell me something?"

There has never been a spy drama like this. It turns out that spy stories can be written like this!
In the past, Zheng Xiaolong simply admired the novel "The Sound of the Wind" because Zhu Yu was in the movie "The Sound of the Wind". In fact, Zheng Xiaolong also hesitated, worried that he would not be recognized because of the movie version, but now he has watched Lin You After Cheng Xin wrote the script, Zheng Xiaolong was full of confidence. Even if he did not talk about surpassing the movie version of "The Wind", the Beijing Television Art Center would still produce a "Wind" that would not lose to the movie version.

When Lin Youcheng saw that Zheng Xiaolong had noticed the manuscript that he had just started writing, he did not hide it. He nodded and said, "Yes, now I am starting to write a new novel."

When Zheng Xiaolong heard Lin Youcheng's words, he was naturally more confused and curious about another war and battle.

Lin Youcheng saw Zheng Xiaolong's confused expression, picked up the manuscript he had just started writing on the table and handed it to Zheng Xiaolong.

Zheng Xiaolong didn't expect that Lin Youcheng would hand him the unfinished manuscript. Naturally, he was very happy. He took the manuscript from Lin Youcheng and saw two words clearly written on the top of the grid paper. "Tengu".

"Tengu?"

Zheng Xiaolong looked up at Lin Youcheng and read the name of the novel. For some reason, he was very surprised that the name of the novel was actually called "Tiangu".

Of course, Zheng Xiaolong didn't ask any more questions, but sat back on his chair and read the story carefully - "The dog moved, and a large ball of red fire suddenly burst out in front of his eyes, filling the sky and fields, rolling toward him. . Just like the fire that was put out on the front line, just like the fire that was put out by a heavy blow to the back of the head just now...

Was it just now? ...He couldn't get out of the dark crowd around him. Countless fists, feet, sticks, bricks, stones, shovels, and steel bars came all over him, grabbing his hair and holding his head tightly. His arms were stretched backwards, unable to protect himself at all. A man he saw picked up a stone as big as a millstone with both hands and threw it at his right leg.

They knew that he was missing a leg and his left leg was a prosthetic leg, so he wanted to hit your good leg. He suddenly dodged, but couldn't. The stone suddenly hit the wrist of his right leg. He grunted heavily and then I saw the red fire that covered the sky and covered the earth..."

……

Lao Wang had heard people say that Gouzi's marksmanship was very accurate, but he didn't expect it to be so accurate.

Among the four people who were knocked down, the first one was hit in the forehead, the second one was hit in the forehead, and the third one was hit slightly off the side of the ear. It is estimated that the victim turned around and tried to escape, so he missed the target. The fourth bullet was shot from the waist. From a shooting perspective, this should be the best position. Because the victim had turned around and wanted to bend down and run away. Only this position is fatal.

Two of the four people died immediately and two were seriously injured. The injured are being treated in the hospital. Judging from the injury, there was little hope of rescuing one of them. Even if the other person was rescued, it would be of little use. The bullet entered from the waist, penetrated the kidney and spine, and then lodged firmly in the liver.

It will be so accurate! Lao Wang ran back and forth from the scene, ran back and forth, ran back and forth. The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes. It’s simply impossible! The gun used by Gouzi is an old-fashioned rifle. It was extremely heavy, extremely stupid, and it was late at night, and he was seriously injured... and it was so fast. Judging from the situation at the scene, the murderer must have fired one shot after another. Everyone in the village who heard the gunshots said the same thing. The gunshots were very tight, like several big firecrackers strung together, bang bang bang, and it was over all at once. People originally thought that the dog was using an automatic rifle or a submachine gun, but they didn't expect it to be this old rifle. "

……

Just such a beginning instantly attracted Zheng Xiaolong's whole heart.

Lin Youcheng did not disturb Zheng Xiaolong and let Zheng Xiaolong quietly read the unfinished story "Tengu" alone.

Lin Youcheng knew very clearly what this story was about. He looked outside the door and saw that the misty sky was a little gray.
In the early morning, a murder occurred in the mountain forest. Forest ranger Li Tiangu shot and killed three brothers of the Kong family.

Li Tiangu was a combat hero who lost a leg on the battlefield. After demobilization, he was assigned to work as a ranger in a remote state-owned forest farm. The three brothers of the Kong family who were shot dead by him were well-known and powerful figures in the local area and were known as the "Three Dragons".

Police Lao Wang stationed in the village to investigate the case. Unbelievably, Li Tiangou completed a precise shooting with an old gun when he was seriously injured and life-threatening.

And behind this murder, there is a thrilling story.

Yes, in this story, the retired soldier Tengu was assigned to be a forest ranger. This was a fat job. Many people gave him money and things, but he rejected them all. Even if you can't refuse, you put it away in desperation, and write it down on a piece of paper at night, recording the soldiers' compliance with discipline and respect for the regulations, but there are still people who continue to seduce the Tengu with benefits, starting from 28 to 37, Four or six opened, and he kept adding more money, but he never wavered in Tengu's belief in soldiers.

This led to disaster. Some people cut off his water, and some cut off his electricity. A group of villagers surrounded the Tengu with shovels and sticks and beat him. Even though they had experienced many battles, they could not withstand a sneak attack from behind. The Tengu was stabbed in the body. He was stabbed with a knife and beaten until his bones were broken.

Tengu couldn't bear these cruel and inhumane things. Under extremely difficult circumstances, Li Tiangu, who was seriously injured, crawled home, took the forest guard gun, crawled into the woods little by little, and used three bullets to kill the man who was cutting down the tree. In this way, the three brothers of the Kong family became "murderers"...

……

Lin Youcheng recalled the story of "Tengu" in his mind, thinking about the fighting hero, a former fighting hero who was not afraid of the bullets and bullets on the battlefield, but was finally forced to cry to the sky by a group of ordinary people.

But even so, the villagers had no intention of letting the Tengu go.

Lin Youcheng thought about the ending of the "Tengu" movie. He knew that it was the ending to pass the trial, but the real ending would not be like that.

It can even be said that the ending of the movie turns an excellent realist critical work into a heroic movie, turning the story into a struggle between justice and evil. The theme tends to be simplified, and the original realism is greatly eliminated. Instead, the problem was obscured.

But no matter what, "Tengu" is a rare realistic work with strong artistic impact. It is both profound and powerful, and it pursues justice to the end, creating a shocking and unforgettable forest ranger. , a respectable military man.

It's like Lu Xun's essays, direct, sharp, and even more extreme, ruthlessly tearing off the veil of reality, revealing suppurating wounds and dazzling congestion. It makes people sit on pins and needles, but they have to admit that the story is true.

Although Zheng Xiaolong has not finished reading this story now, Zheng Xiaolong has been completely attracted by the story written by Lin Youcheng. He is completely immersed in it. After reading the previous content written by Lin Youcheng, he is completely People are very curious to know the development of the story behind it, but the story behind it has stopped abruptly.

Zheng Xiaolong looked at Lin Youcheng and didn't know what to say for a moment. Then he glanced at the unfinished novel in his hand and couldn't help asking: "Youcheng, what will happen next?"

Now Zheng Xiaolong already knows why Lin Youcheng said that this is still a war after the war.

Because this is Li Tiangu's battle alone, it is also a thrilling battle. This war is different, but it is also a bloody war.

Hearing Zheng Xiaolong ask this question, Lin Youcheng did not answer directly, but said: "This story has another name."

"Another name?"

"Yes, The Murderer!"

"The murderer?"

Zheng Xiaolong immediately understood what Lin Youcheng meant by these two words. This meant that this fighting hero, demobilized soldier, and finally became a murderer. But even if Zheng Xiaolong hadn't finished reading the story, he still felt Things shouldn't be like this!
Yes, that's not how it should be.
