Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 239 Magic defeats magic! Bao Guowei’s new work?
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will not give up on film creation. Of course, I will also promote the creation of dramas."

Of course Bao Guowei understood what Liming Wei was worried about. Ever since he gave the other party a cake, Liming Wei preciously cherished the opportunity to create the movie "The Godfather".

"Bingwen, you should know that you can't bite off more than you can chew. You have movies and dramas, and you also have literary creations. I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want."

Hong Shen frowned and commented, obviously not agreeing with Bao Guowei's words.

Bao Guowei said with a smile: "Bao Guowei's energy is naturally limited, but as long as I leave the film aspect to Mr. Li, the drama aspect to Mr. Hong, and the professional matters to professionals, then Not only can you create better works, but you can also ensure that you are not exhausted. ”

hiss~
Hong Shen and Liming Wei both had muscles on their faces twitching and looked at Bao Guowei with resentment.

You guys just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper and let us work for you?

Bao Guowei smiled sheepishly, spread his hands and said, "Everyone is mutually beneficial. I, Bao Guowei, seem to be the kind of person who can deceive others."

Liming Wei hesitated to speak. He was tricked last time and donated thousands of dollars to the cause of women's liberation. How dare this kid keep saying that he won't trick others?
But he still didn't say the words after all.

Hong Shen shook his head and said, "Bingwen, it's not that I don't value your screenwriting skills. It's just that the book "Alive" is not suitable for adapting a play. The movie is good, and the book "The Godfather" is good."

But for leftist writers like Hong Shen, what they want to see even more is Bao Guowei's improvement in literature.

But Hong Shen looked surprised, his eyes widened, as if he wanted to look through Bao Guowei's head to see what was hidden inside.

"I don't have much insight, but I saw some points that need to be paid attention to when rehearsing a drama."

A female announcer in cheongsam said loudly on the stage.

Liming Wei, who was sitting next to him, was confused by Bao Guowei. What is all this? He seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Compared with movies, dramas pay more attention to the emotions of the characters and the changes in the stage scenes. Compared with the long production cycle of movies, technical editing techniques and other characteristics can be used. The most important thing in dramas is the acting skills of the actors and the presentation of the lines. "

As soon as he saw the beginning, Bao Guowei had already seen the ending. It was really not his fault that he didn't know how to appreciate art, but that all kinds of bloody plots from later generations had already filled his mind.

At this moment, the first act happened to be over, and Hong Shen started discussing with Bao Guowei.

"Bao Bingwen, Bao Bingwen, they all say that you are a genius that is rare to see in a century. Anyone who sees you will accept you as their disciple. Today I have learned the lesson."

Did you say something wrong? No, these words are very correct. I extracted them from later research papers.

"Don't worry, sir."

Just don't write any popular novels about Lao Shizi. In Hong Shen's eyes, it is no different from a piece of rough jade falling into a smelly ditch.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hong Shen became a little interested. "Expand and tell me."

So it was a compliment?
Bao Guowei exhaled. Why didn't this man speak loudly? He was shocked. He thought about how to have a good debate with him later.

Or is it too forward-thinking?

"Abstract? Concrete?"

"Years ago, when this film was released in Shanghai, it caused a huge sensation and saved the domestic film industry from a low period at that time. Now it has been adapted into a play and has a different flavor after it is on the stage."

Bao Guowei shivered and felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing that the play had already begun, Bao Guowei immediately decided to put the topic aside and said, "Mr. Hong, let's watch the play first. When the play is over, I will have a good talk with you."

Hong Shen nodded and said, "I have watched this movie many times. This is the first time for me to play a drama. If Bingwen has any insights, you can speak freely."

The outside world is now pressing for Bao Guowei's works, but this guy is taking his time.

Novels, poems, policy essays, all of them are acceptable.

But Hong Shen said excitedly.

Bao Guowei talked eloquently and finally came to a conclusion.

Hong Shen knew that this kid was deliberately showing off.

On the stage, various characters quickly appeared on stage. First of all, there was a rich man named Yang Shouchang. He lost his son in his later years and his son accidentally fell to death. His nephew Daopei, together with Lu Shoujing, jointly wanted to seize the family property and falsely accused his daughter-in-law Yu Weiru. Zhen, Wei Ru was thrown out of the house.

At this time, the big curtain on the stage was slowly opened, and the bright stage lights illuminated the dim theater.

"New work?" Hong Shen's eyes lit up.

He obviously still had prejudice against novels such as "The Godfather" and shook his head.

Hearing this sentence, Bao Guowei suddenly became interested. This film had no impression in his mind.

In the dark theater, Hong Shen's shining eyes could still be seen.

But there is always something to say, he said after pondering for a while.

Bao Guowei was not in a hurry and said, "Sir, don't be too anxious. It's not too late to make a decision after listening to the plot I described."

"Then let's talk about it after watching it. Haven't you been promoting the women's liberation movement recently? You can also watch this movie. Women are sometimes even more powerful than men in adversity."

"Don't think that I am complimenting you. I, Hong Shen, never flatter anyone! If your words were put in the school, as a graduate student's defense, I would give you a perfect score!"

This story plot was almost worn out in later generations, but in this era, it is still very interesting to the audience.

"In my opinion, dramas may be more abstract and allow the audience to figure out the story, while movies are more inclined to concreteness and show the pictures directly to the audience. This is the essential difference between the two."

"Next, please enjoy the drama "The Orphan Saves His Ancestor""

But he is a well-educated person and would not hit anyone easily. He nodded and said.

"Bingwen should hire another Gao Ming!"

The sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has spread all over the country, has not yet been written. The follow-up to "Alive" that the public is looking forward to has no clue, and the follow-up plot of "The Godfather" is even more itchy.

Mr. Hong’s evaluation is so high?
Liming Wei knew that this kid Bao Guowei was a genius, but he never expected that he was such a genius.

He doesn't know everything, does he?

Or is it that this kid has great luck?
With random thoughts in his head, Liming Wei was thinking about finding a Feng Shui master or something to take a good look at Bao Guowei's weirdness.

Is he a god or a ghost?
Then, a Bao Guowei was so familiar that his ears could hear Yuzi's words coming from Hong Shen's mouth.

"Bingwen, don't you really think about it and study drama specifically? In my opinion, your talent in this area is much higher than that of literature and medicine, and drama and literature are also intertwined. You don’t have to give up on literary creation.”

At this moment, Hong Shen looked at Bao Guowei as if he were a treasure.

He knew why so many powerful people in the Shanghai stock market were protecting this kid. It wasn't because he was good-looking or good at dancing, but because he was a true once-in-a-century genius!

For such an invitation, Bao Guowei smiled awkwardly but politely and declined "tactfully" as he had done countless times before.

"Not learn."

"Uh~"

Hong Shen thought he would refuse, but he didn't think he would refuse so simply.

What's the matter, you should also give a long speech, saying that you really have no energy and so on, right?
What's the point of not learning a word?
I feel so uncomfortable! This guy doesn't play by common sense.

Hong Shen's face turned red from suppressing it, and he didn't know what to say.

But what he didn't know was that Bao Guowei had long been numb. After discovering that he didn't have to be good at dancing or all-around to gain the attention and respect of others, he didn't bother to pretend anymore.

It's really not necessary.

Sure enough, as a very experienced elder, Hong Shen would step down for himself.

He also had an awkward smile on his face, pointed to the stage and changed the subject.

"Look, look, look, the grandson of the rich man Yang Shouchang, Weiru's child Yu Pu, has enrolled in the school built by Yang Shouchang. Yu Pu is polite and courageous, and is loved by Yang Shouchang. It is a pity that the grandson and grandson cannot recognize each other. It is really shocking It’s heart-wrenching!”

Hong Shen gave an emotional speech and successfully transferred his attention to the stage. While Bao Guowei was chatting, he was also paying attention to the plot trend on the stage.

It can only be said that if this kind of plot were placed in later online novels, it would give readers a hundred faults, such as illogical logic, being too bloody, and mistreating the protagonist.

But emotionally, the drama was successfully choreographed.

Daughter-in-law Yu Wei is frail but possesses maternal strength. Even in the face of unwarranted slander, she still goes through great pains to raise her son Yu Pu and support him in his studies.

The actress's performance successfully conveyed this state to the audience, making people unable to help but sympathize with her experience and want to see the day when she gets happiness and sees the blue sky through the clouds.

Of course, there is also the rich man Yang Shouchang, who lost his son in his later years. He was always willing to give charity and set up education, but he did not get good results. Instead, he was plotted by evil people such as his nephew.

There is also the ugly face of nephew Dao Pei and Lu Shoujing colluding together.

The structure of the story is simple, the context is clear, and there are only a few scenes.

Bao Guowei saw countless similar routines in later generations, and even used this technique to death in some bitter dramas.

But I was still infected by this routine plot, and I eagerly thought of the scene where the grandfather and grandson recognized each other and the evildoers were punished.

"Damn it, you know the water plot, hurry up and recognize each other! It's so obvious, why is it so difficult to recognize each other?"

Bao Guowei was so itchy that he couldn't help but curse.

It made Hong Shen next to him burst into laughter. He seemed to have found his own sense of presence as an elder.

He patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and said: "Bingwen, don't be disturbed by the emotions in it. What you should see is the truth contained in it and the practical significance it presents."

"significance?"

Hearing this word, Bao Guowei frowned.

In fact, he is very disgusted with deliberately searching for meaning in every literary and artistic work.

A story is a story, and from the beginning, the story is just to convey information and emotions.

To some extent, it is more like a form of entertainment.

Forcing a story to be educational will be counterproductive.

Many writers in later generations, such as Yu Hua, have done reading comprehension on their own articles.

Many times, writers write this way just because of their feelings, and there is really no need to over-interpret it.

But Bao Guowei would not argue with the other party at length about these things. It was meaningless and no one could be convinced.

He just asked back: "Sir, don't you think that the most important thing is that dramas, movies and novels are good-looking. As for meaning, it is good to have it, and it is okay to not have it."

"How can this happen?!" Hong Shen said with his eyebrows twisted as if he was seeing a ghost.

"If literary and artistic works have no educational significance, what is the difference between doing art and telling stories and selling sex on the street?"

Bao Guowei thought to himself that in a sense, it was no different from these forms, it was just more elegant.

He thought for a moment and replied.

"Appreciating both the refined and the popular is the best way."

Shaking his head, Hong Shen was a little disappointed now. After all, Bao Guowei couldn't do everything as he wanted.

He asked back: "In that case, how did you write "Answer" by Bingwen, and how did you write "Alive"? These are excellent literary works that are full of educational significance."

Hong Shen's eyes were like eagles, staring closely at Bao Guowei, and said with great regret.

"Bingwen, you have been on the wrong path recently. From street storytellers like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to sensual and sensual works like "The Godfather", young people should keep themselves clean and not be confused by the colorful world."

He taught like a strict teacher.

Bao Guowei shook his head.

"Sir, you are wrong. When I wrote "Alive", I was in Hangzhou. I felt the struggle and hardship of the people at the bottom of China today. I wrote it out of my feelings and wrote it out of my will. I never deliberately pursued it. What’s the point?”

Hong Shen laughed angrily.

"You said that you can write good articles with just your enthusiasm?"

"If it's spirited, why do you need to be pretentious?"

"What a pretentious thing!" Hong Shen was completely angry now and stood up to leave.

Isn't this guy, overtly or covertly, saying that those who pursue literary and artistic works with educational significance are pretentious?
Liming Wei became anxious immediately and did not expect that things would develop to this point.

He quickly grabbed Hong Shen and explained.

"Mr. Hong! There is no need to be angry! Bingwen is still a child, and it is normal for him to make some innocent remarks."

"Child? He is this year." Hong Shen still wanted to accuse the other party like before, but he didn't want to choke on it.

Think about it, this fucking kid is really seventeen years old, he is indeed still a child.
Thinking of this, Hong Shen became even more angry. He felt depressed and had nowhere to vent, so he threw off his sleeves and was about to leave.

At this time, the actors on the stage were already taking their curtain calls.

The drama "Orphan Saves His Ancestor" is over.

Bao Guowei's clear and emotionless answer came from behind.

"Sir, would you like to hear my answer to this play?"

"I won't help you." Hong Shen was furious, thinking that Bao Guowei probably wanted to beg him to arrange a play, but he didn't expect to say this, and immediately said half of the sentence.

He turned away.

"Use your so-called spirit?"

Bao Guowei smiled.

"Use magic to defeat magic. I analyzed the meaning and told my husband that even without deliberately pursuing any educational significance, I can still write a literary story and novel."

"That's not a small tone!"

With Hong Shen's current status in the entertainment industry, no one dares to speak to him like this.

However, he thought about the pros and cons and decided to listen to Bao Guowei.

"I would like to hear what you have to say."

He had a bit of a bad temper today, and after he finished speaking, he sat down on the chair with all his might.

At this moment, the theater lights also turned on.

Other audience members seemed to get into a quarrel when they saw this and ran out of the theater.

In the Shanghai Stock Exchange of the Republic of China, anything could happen. Gentlemen would quarrel, pull out a gun, accuse each other of being Japanese spies, and so on.

Under the light, Bao Guowei's face was a little shiny, but he was still full of energy.

he said angrily.

"'Punish evil', 'Encourage learning', and 'Promote good', these are the three central themes of this drama!"

"I will talk to you about this drama carefully. Please listen."
