A widower's entertainment

Chapter 209 [Directors] (Please subscribe)
Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

The popularity of the TV series "The Wind" has not had a particularly big impact on Lin Youcheng, the original author and screenwriter. After all, ordinary viewers still watch the drama more, paying attention to the plot and the actors' roles, and do not particularly care about the screenwriter. Of course, The audience also knows very clearly that the drama "The Wind" is adapted from the novel "The Wind" written by Lin Youcheng.

Naturally, there is a lot of talk like this. The first of them is the admiration of the author Lin Youcheng in the literary circle. He can actually write such a wonderful novel when the original novel is already quite a classic. But the "Wind" is different, it's really amazing.

Because the media reported it, the students were naturally discussing it, and there were naturally praises for Lin Youcheng.

Just like Zheng Xiaolong now comes to Xinghua Hutong, and he also brings Feng Pants and You Xiaogang to praise Lin Youcheng, a great writer and screenwriter.

"Teacher Lin, the TV series version of "The Wind" you wrote is so wonderful."

Lin Youcheng looked at Feng Trousers with a smile on his face and kept praising him for writing the script of "The Wind". He just smiled and nodded and said, "The filming was better at the Beijing Television Art Center."

Zheng Xiaolong listened to Lin Youcheng's words and said with a smile: "Thanks to this book you gave me, it's really solid."

Lin Youcheng smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew very well that the wind was a kind of fiction and reasoning. The TV series put the two concepts of wind and fictional reasoning together at the same time, and you will find that everything will follow. The winds heard change directions according to different circumstances. These winds, which are difficult to distinguish between true and false, have been changing the world of existence.

Although there is only one case in the novel written by Lin Youcheng, and there is only one case in the movie, which is to catch the old ghost, in fact, there are five cases in the original work of "The Wind", including one about why Qiu Zhuang turned into a ghost. Zhuang, the murder of the old village owner Qiu was the first case. It was followed by the second case, the assassination of the commander, which was the second case. Among them is the death case of Ryukawa Hihara's wife; and finally, who was killed by Ryukawa Hihara?
These four cases plus the investigation of Lao Gui, five cases together make up "The Wind", and they are five murder cases. There are also some scenes that are not murder cases, so the real case volume of the original "Wind" is actually very large. , far beyond ordinary imagination.

It is precisely for this reason that Lin Youcheng chose the drama version of "The Wind" to cover up several cases.

Zheng Xiaolong looked at Lin Youcheng and said with a smile: "Actually, I think you wrote this script more than just reasoning."

Reasoning generally exists, but scientific and detailed reasoning is rarely used, because it is a fake thing to use scientific and detailed reasoning in today's era.

Lin Youcheng nodded and said, "Yes, there is game theory in it."

Game theory was actually born in the early 30s and was developed by the genius of applied mathematics von Neumann. "The Wind" was set in 1941, and the soil for game theory was actually already there. In fact, the story in "The Wind" is very similar to the prisoner's dilemma in game theory. The environment in which these five people live is the prisoner's dilemma.

Of course, in addition to the prisoner's dilemma, there are many other theories in game theory. Zuo just puts a lot of game theory concepts into it.

Feng Pengtong listened to the chat between Lin Youcheng and Zheng Xiaolong, and praised: "In terms of game theory, Teacher Lin knows the most."

Lin Youcheng didn't have any special feelings about Feng Peng's compliments, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to it. He continued chatting with Zheng Xiaolong about the drama "The Wind" with a smile on his face.

"The main reason is that every character of Teacher Lin is very vivid. None of the supporting characters in "The Wind" is stupid or stupid. They are all quite smart, but they just make choices to protect their own interests. It is in line with the character's setting."

Lin Youcheng smiled, this is what a good book needs. You must know that the feeling of a good TV series to the audience must be the positioning of each actor's role. There are protagonists who lead the story, and there are supporting characters who highlight the protagonists. You must know that in the past, the only works that could be described as "brain-burning" were mystery works. Because of the grasp of details and strong logic, the audience couldn't stop. Strong logic inevitably requires stronger story design capabilities.

Of course, the reason why "The Wind" is so popular now is because the current spy war dramas are not bad yet, and no one pays special attention to the following wars, the background of the Anti-Japanese War, penetrating into the enemy, obtaining intelligence, rescue and assassination, and hiding identities. . The creation of conflicts and contradictions, the reasonable design of the first step of the plot, and then create another amazing possibility in front of the enemy and the audience.

That is because Lin Youcheng allowed the current audience to see an amazing and quite novel plot. Naturally, everyone was shocked.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded and said: "In fact, in addition to the design of the big frame story, it also depends on many details."

You Xiaogang doesn't talk much, but occasionally he can express his opinions. While Lin Youcheng, Zheng Xiaolong and others were chatting, two more directors came to Lin Youcheng's courtyard house.

It was director Wu Ziniu and future director Jiang Wen.

Lin Youcheng led Wu Ziniu and Jiang Wen into the house, and they saw Zheng Xiaolong and others at a glance.

Others didn't think it was anything, but Lin Youcheng realized immediately that everyone in the room except him was the director.

He is truly the director of a room.

It goes without saying that Zheng Xiaolong is the director of the Beijing Television Art Center, but he will also direct and shoot many classic film and television dramas in the future.

As for Feng Trousers and You Xiaogang, although they have not had the chance to film movies yet, there is no doubt that they will become quite well-known directors in the country in the future. This is just like Jiang Wen who just came in. Although Jiang Wen is still an actor now, Lin You Cheng knew that directors like Jiang Wen would mainly attend the three major film festivals.

"You're successful, this is really lively!"

Wu Tianming couldn't help but say this after meeting Zheng Xiaolong with a smile.

Jiang Wen followed Wu Tianming, always sizing up Lin Youcheng. He originally wanted to come to Lin Youcheng to talk about the film adaptation of "Tengu", but he didn't expect that Lin Youcheng had already handed it over to Wu Tianming for filming. "Tengu" also recommended him to play the role of Li Tengu, which really surprised him.

It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Wen asked Wu Tianming to take him to meet Lin Youcheng.

Jiang Wen got straight to the point and directly asked the doubts in his heart, "Teacher Lin, why did you think of recommending me to play the role of Li Tiangou?"
