Since 1983

Wang Shuo wrote a novel called "Liu Huifang".

Hearing Chen Changben's praise of the heroine, he couldn't help flashing a weird expression, and said with a smile: "You think it's a success, the name Liu Huifang is really virtuous and virtuous."

The words were a bit eccentric, but Chen Chang didn't care at all, it's just such a virtue.

Several people discussed for a while, and Li Mu wrote a few strokes on the manuscript paper, "Let me take care of it first. Indoor dramas, regular dramas, life in the city..."

"Life in the city is a bit narrow, family affection, ethics and morality." Zheng Wanlong said.

"Okay, with the theme of family emotions, ethics and morality, it is best to integrate into a certain era background, the protagonist is a woman, possesses all traditional morals, and suffers from various life blows..."

Li Mu shook his head after writing, "It's too miserable!"

He looked around and found that someone had been silent, and asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas for now, let me think about it." Xu Fei said.

"Well, then let's tentatively decide on this theme, use a few days to figure out the relationship between the characters and the big frame, and then Xiao Ming will write a summary, and we will study after we finish writing."

After discussing for a long time, everyone went downstairs to eat.

After dinner, Xu Fei went straight to the bookstore and bought a copy of "Liu Huifang". The length is not long, about 100,000 words, and it will be finished in a while.

When he turned the last page, he suddenly showed the same strange look as Wang Shuo.

The heroine in the novel has a kind and gentle personality, full of human brilliance, but except for the name and personality, the story has nothing in common with the TV series...

The wonderful thing is here! Because Wang Shuo didn't show a clear attitude, it couldn't be seen that he was boasting or scolding.

From the perspective of the general values ​​of this era, it is considered to be a compliment. But according to Xu Fei's experience in later generations, it is impossible for this kind of forced goods to praise the so-called traditional virtues.

Ouch, if the inspiration for the TV series is really based on the novel, it would be the greatest black humor.

"..."

Xu Fei put down his book, lay down on a bed in the double room, closed his eyes and thought.

In fact, he wanted to work on a martial arts drama, but if it started with 40 episodes, the cost would be unbearable, so making an indoor drama was the right thing to do. With "Hutong Family" in the center, the style cannot be repeated, and it can only fall on family ethics.

The famous "Desire" ah!

I almost forgot about the plot, but I only remember Liu Huifang, a wimpy, peerless white lotus. People in the 1980s and 1990s ate this set, but who cares about it in later generations?

Ah bah, even rarer!

Later generations have gone through a lot of hard work and intensified their efforts to develop all kinds of wonderful bitter dramas, which are aimed at middle-aged and elderly women audiences, and the ratings are high.

have to change.

………………

The seven stayed at the Jimen Hotel for a few days to sort out a preliminary relationship between the characters.

Xu Fei basically didn't speak, paddling happily, which surprised Zheng Wanlong and Chen Changben.

As Hutong became popular in the capital, Mr. Xu became famous as the screenwriter of six episodes, and "Little Nanny" won numerous praises. As a result, the two seniors saw that it looked like a parallel importer!

At this moment, the seven people gathered in the small living room again, holding the outline of the newly released research.

Background of the story: late 1960s to 1980s.

Heroine: Liu Huifang, a female factory worker, young and beautiful, gentle and upright, tolerant and considerate.

Hero No. 1: Wang Husheng, a college student who came to work in a factory, was born in a family of senior intellectuals, his father was arrested and his whereabouts are unknown, his mother died of illness, and he has an older sister.

Hero No. 2: Song Dacheng, workshop director, honest and honest.

Heroine No. 2: Wang Yaru, Wang Husheng's older sister, has emotional ups and downs and psychological distortion.

Interrelationship:

Liu Huifang was pursued by Wang and Song at the same time, and chose the former.

Wang Yaru conceived before marriage and gave birth to a daughter, who was taken away by her fiancé and lost.

Song Dacheng married a woman he didn't love, but he missed Liu Huifang in his heart.

Liu Huifang picked up an abandoned baby and accidentally discovered that it was Wang Yaru's child.

After Wang Husheng's father was rehabilitated, his family conditions improved, and he gradually had conflicts with Liu Huifang, so he went to find his college girlfriend.

"..."

Xu Fei silently gave a thumbs up, awesome!

The essence of this relationship is: Facing the pursuit of two people at the same time, Bai Lianhua chooses the good-looking one.

After the good-looking man got rich, he dumped the old and yellowish white lotus to find his first love.

Honest people are still licking dogs.

"What do you think?" Li Mu asked.

"Let me think about the background first..."

Wang Shuo said, "The workers were the cleanest at that time, and Wang Husheng's family background was not good. Did he pursue Liu Huifang because he liked her, or because of his class status?"

"Both, it's called gaining both money and man." Li Xiaoming said.

"So he was rehabilitated later, and he looked down on the uneducated Liu Huifang, and went to find true love?"

"Yes. Wang Husheng is a very selfish person. It's true that he likes Liu Huifang, and it's true that he likes his lover. He is always loyal to his own feelings, willing to enjoy, and stingy with giving." Zheng Wanlong said.

"That's kind of interesting."

Wang Shuo had a cigarette in his mouth, and said it was interesting, but his heart was no longer here, and he felt that the play was boring.

Xu Fei thought for a while, then suddenly said, "What do you think of the ending of each character?"

Um?

Chen Changben and Zheng Wanlong were taken aback for a moment, he rarely spoke these days.

"The ending? Tell me more specifically." Li Mu said.

"If a character wants to stand upright, he must first have a full personality. This process is contained in the story. As the plot develops, the audience slowly understands, oh, it is such a person.

But the ending is different. The ending of the characters is the attitude of our creators.

For example, a bad guy spends a long time to show how bad he is, but in the end he is killed by a good guy. This is our attitude, and evil prevails over good.

For another example, the good guy is killed, and the bad guy is triumphant and flourishing. This is also our attitude, or grief, or despair, or simply think that this is the way of the world!

So I want to ask, what is the ending of these characters? "

"..."

Everyone was lost in thought and fell silent for a moment.

This question is equivalent to the core idea of ​​the whole play, which is what kind of values ​​to output.

Xu Fei actually asked: Will Liu Huifang endure it forever? Will Wang Husheng be hot all the time? Will Song Dacheng always be a licking dog?

When mentioning "Desire" in later generations, some people always say that the three views are hot chicken - those who said this must have not read the whole thing.

Because at the end, Wang Husheng repented and asked to remarry, but Liu Huifang did not agree, which is an improvement compared to her previous ones.

Song Dacheng didn't divorce his wife either, saying that we had to do it all over again. This is also an attitude.

But it's not enough!

After all, creators have limitations, they have breakthroughs, and they also have factors that fit the times.

Generally speaking, Liu Huifang is still resigned, sacrificing and giving.

"Then tell me, how should it end?" Chen Changben frowned.

"Well, let's take a look at it." Zheng Wanlong smiled.

"I can't think of the ending. After listening to it for the past few days, I feel a little narrow. Sad dramas are fine, but tragedies are more likely to infect people, but we must be careful not to be tragedies for the sake of tragedies."

Xu Fei glanced at the two seniors, and said, "Have you read "The Story of Ashin"?

Working as a maid at the age of 7, she was so tired that she was beaten to death by her father, suffered earthquakes, wars, went bankrupt, her husband committed suicide, and her son died in battle...

No matter how hard it is, can it be as hard as Ashin? It was a collection of misery in the world and reached its peak.

I was crying when I watched it, but there was a kind of upward momentum after she shed it, because Ashin has her own goals in life, and she is not living in a daze.

We make a drama that makes people suffer, endure, suffer, and be kind... This is fine, but people have to move forward. "

(besides……)
