Lin Yutong washed his face and then went to the front.
As soon as they entered, they stood up. Lin Yutong smiled hurriedly and said, "Please sit down! I've been a little short of energy recently and took a nap at noon! I answered the call before and thought that you would be able to arrive tomorrow or later. I don't want to be like this
Hurry!" He said hurriedly, "Cousin, tell my mother that this is an honored guest, cut the meat and cook it."
No need to go to such trouble!
Lin Yutong poured tea for several people, "We're at home, how can we not eat?"
"Yes! We have to eat!" Yang Shuhui came in with a fruit plate with thin toothpicks in it. She gave in a few polite words and went back to work. Really! Not everyone in the city is so particular these days.
of.
The two young people stretched out their hands to eat. Director Zhang told Lin Yutong about this adaptation, "This is screenwriter Liu. He is very experienced. I want to invite him to be the main writer."
Okay! Although I seem to be able to be a screenwriter, but they invited the screenwriter here, I won’t talk about it! In fact, I am a bit lazy and don’t want to change it.
But screenwriter Liu tentatively asked Tongtong about his attitude when it came to the adaptation, "Teacher Lin..."
You are a senior, just call me Xiao Lin or Xiao Tong, not Teacher Lin!
Screenwriter Liu just laughed and followed the good example. It’s not okay to cooperate with each other. He said, “To be honest, when Director Zhang was going to adapt it, I read the script and didn’t think about taking it at the time. The novel is of course very good.
Especially in this era of reform, without the rapid changes along the coast or the hustle and bustle of the city, in an inland rural area, such a background can be said to be particularly representative! However, if it is really an adaptation, you have to know,
Some things will cause great controversy."
for example?
"For example, the protagonist Yue, her name is Yue, but she is not the moon, she is the sun! She has a distinctive personality, and even strips away the attribute of love in her marriage. She is planning for her survival, life, and the rest of her life. She
Her first marriage was a happy honeymoon. Later, due to family conflicts such as marriage and childbirth, after she broke away from her first marriage, she was planning! She did not choose a divorced or widowed man with children.
Reorganizing the family was because she felt it was difficult to be a stepmother. She felt that being a good stepmother meant sacrificing herself to achieve success for others, but the good causes she planted may not bear good fruits. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life having to sacrifice
Dedication. Therefore, she would rather choose a person who is poor in all aspects! The only reason she chose this person is because he is not good and can be kicked at any time! What impressed her most about being able to agree to the marriage at that time was that it would be a good idea to get married.
You can adopt a child. Then she successfully adopted the child, then turned around and got divorced. She took a steady step step by step, so can we think that the original intention of adopting a child is actually to raise a child for old age?"
Lin Yutong was silent, yes! This character is very real, and all choices are within the scope of human nature. However, from another perspective, many people think that this character lacks a virtue!
But this is not worth promoting!
Screenwriter Liu said, "If this person is the main protagonist, it can be said that it is... difficult to adapt. But if she is a supporting character, such a controversial character, she can indeed appear. Sometimes, with a supporting role that is full of color, this drama
It is the finishing touch in the novel. Therefore, I am here to discuss with you whether I can slightly adjust the order of the characters in the novel. But try to ensure that what you want to convey is conveyed."
Reversal of priorities? “You want to use Lianzi as the protagonist?”
Yes!
Lin Yutong was silent. It felt like Lianzi was created based on Hualien!
Let’s take a look at Hualien. Hualien’s family is poor, but as a woman, before getting married, she went to the stone quarry to do work that only men can do, and she was even almost bullied. Later, she met Liu Chenggong. What was the situation of Liu Chenggong’s family? There was a lot of money in the family.
There is a paralyzed old man who needs to be taken care of, a bastard brother-in-law who wants her to help him start a family, and a not-so-normal sister-in-law who wants her to plan. She is also the women's director, a female cadre who enthusiastically serves the members. If we shape this person,
It can be said that he has a lot of positive energy! In other words, he is a person with traditional virtues. Combining traditional virtues with modern women to create such a character is an attitude of praise.
Screenwriter Liu said, "The people created in the novel are real, and reality is real. This character in the novel has many shortcomings. For example, he is sloppy, careless, and overly eccentric. He is too enthusiastic about external things and then excessively neglects it.
It is precisely because of such shortcomings that this person is so three-dimensional and real! But if you adapt the script with this person as the protagonist, you have to eliminate many of the protagonist's shortcomings. Amplify his advantages and hide his others.
The shortcomings make the characters sublime. Including Lianzi's sister-in-law... a character has to be eliminated from the novel and grafted onto Lianzi..."
Lin Yutong scratched his head. Such an adaptation made it look completely different.
But from the perspective of adaptation, what screenwriter Liu said does make sense.
She smiled, but really didn't know how to say this! After a long silence, she said, "Teacher Liu, let's put aside the novel and adaptation itself, let's talk about something off-topic. What topic is it? Women.
The issue of rights. Our older generation paid the price of their lives for the liberation of women! Countless people sacrificed so that women can be what they are today. Men and women are equal. Women can work in all walks of life and there is relative fairness.
opportunity, this is a big step forward. However, there is a question, have you ever thought about it? When women step out of the house, assume responsibilities for society, and bear economic pressure for the family, what family responsibilities do women assume?
, have men ever thought about shouldering it? In addition to financial responsibilities, there are also all the responsibilities encountered in life. Have men ever thought about sharing them? Women earn money just like men. Men go home to rest, and women take care of the children.
When it comes to housework, who pays more? We praise those who pay more and call it dedication. Then we hold it high, place it on the altar, and praise her for being amazing. On the contrary, she lacks the spirit of dedication.
, is it necessarily wrong to be unwilling to sacrifice oneself?”
Screenwriter Liu stopped talking and looked at Director Zhang after a long time: This is an angle that I have never considered.
But isn’t what Writer Lin said wrong? In fact, the truth is right! When women step out of the house to share the financial pressure of the family, men should bear part of the pressure of household chores for the family.
Only in this way is it fair and just.
Of course, everything is not absolute. For example, if a woman is not good at outside, then she should take charge of the house. If a man earns more outside, then he should take charge of the house. This is a family model that needs to be adjusted.
It doesn’t have to be the same model, each has its own situation. However, it has to be said that someone has to call for the position of family labor in social life to be faced squarely.
Why do I mention this digression? Because the protagonist in the novel, Moon, was a standard good wife and mother in her first marriage. Except for her fertility problems, everything else was good! But once she got divorced, she had to pay for that family.
Everything came to zero! After the divorce, she had nothing. Even because she was afraid that many people in her natal village would oppose her return and settle down, she couldn't even go back to her natal family! She couldn't go back to her natal family if her husband's family didn't want her! She had no choice but to plan.
.
There was silence in the hall again, this time the silence lasted longer.
Screenwriter Liu looked at Director Zhang and smiled bitterly, "I think what Xiaotong said actually makes sense."
Director Zhang rolled his eyes: Well, what a mess you made! I said to shoot according to the original work, but you have to try to adjust it. After a while, isn't this coming back?
Director Liu smiled at Lin Yutong, "But it's okay. Once we communicate in person, I will know better what you want to express and convey. Don't worry, this script will be revised based on respecting the original work! I will send you the script later.
, after you look at it and think it’s feasible, we’ll shoot it again.”
Happy cooperation!
When the fourth master came back, they had a great chat and got to know each other. Then a banquet was laid out at home. According to the rules here, a water banquet with one water and ten dishes were served in turn. It was really a good meal.
Before leaving, the Fourth Master said, "There is someone picking me up over there in the county town. I definitely won't be able to leave today. Let's settle down for one night in a small hotel in the county town. The tickets have been booked for me. The soft sleepers are all in the bunks below.
Go to the station early tomorrow morning and you can reach the capital in one sleep."
Hospitality goes out of its way!
Since the two young men were from the county cultural bureau, they had nothing to give away. It was not dark, so we drove to the county town and arrived there in twenty minutes.
Tongtong and Fourth Master watched the car leave, and it was already dark.
Then a group of little kids strolled back! Oh my God, whose dirty kid is the one at the head? His hair was hanging loose, his face was all black, and his pink sweater was still okay
Did you see it? I also saw the shoelaces, they were just hanging there. Then I was holding a big branch of some kind of fruit in my hand.
Tongtong wanted to step back. She didn't even want to take away this dirty thing.
Those who knew said that Jin Mingming went to school, but those who didn’t know thought she went to dig a charcoal kiln!
People don't have this consciousness. When they saw their parents at the door, Joy ran back like a little pony and said, "Dad... Look, my mother and I broke a hawthorn branch..."
No! Don't use your mother's name on me! I don't want to eat hawthorn! The fourth master next to him laughed, no matter how hard the child is buried, this is his own child! Can he really throw it away? He raised his hand and took the child into his hand.
The hawthorn tree was picked up and asked, "How did you get such a big branch down?"
The man was so proud that he smiled with his little black face, showing his white teeth, "I went up to the tree, picked a lot first, and kept the best branch, tied it with a rope, jumped down, pulled hard, and it was gone.
Coming down!"
No! Where are the other hawthorns you picked?
Jin Mingming pointed with his hand, "They are separated..."
The children who entered the alley went back to their homes, each with their pockets bulging with money.
Just when he was about to speak, he heard Hualien shout: "Jin Mingming, where are the two from my family?"
The little kid who was less than three years old was sent to school! Jin Mingming pointed to the back, "It's in the back!"
Sure enough, two of them were walking slowly forward! But that's wrong, the two children were wearing woolen pants and no outer pants! Where were the children's outer pants?
As I got closer, I saw two little people, with hawthorns in the legs of their outer trousers, pulled all the way back. The key is, the children are so young, they would never think of using this method to get hawthorns!
The mother laughed, "Jin Mingming...whose belt did you take off and tie two pockets for them?"
Yes! The trouser legs will be exposed and must be tied up with a rope! When you pull someone’s tree, isn’t it also a rope? Where is the rope when you go up? Whose waistband is it?
But all children wear elastic pants, so who can have a belt?
Jin Mingming hunched his shoulders and covered his mouth, laughing. He then pulled his father back and walked back. When he came back, he closed the door. As soon as he closed the door, he laughed, "It's Grandma Ma's waistband..."
Ma Mei lives in a back alley!
The fourth master couldn't laugh or cry, "Where did you get that person's waistband?"
She laughed so loudly that her family's land was on the way home, and every afternoon she would go to the thatched hut on the roadside to go to the hut. "...When we talked, she even scolded us for disturbing her.
Relieving yourself... the grass nest was so dirty that we didn’t even dare to catch grasshoppers..."
The Fourth Master listened carefully to his daughter's accusations against Ma Mei for all kinds of 'atrocities', and asked calmly: "Then what?" Then, "Then I also know that the hawthorn tree belongs to her family and was planted on the ground.
"
You deliberately destroyed other people's trees and picked all the hawthorns? The reason? Just because they defecated everywhere?
Jin Mingming curled his lips, "No! The last time there was a big gathering, I caught a bunch of grasshoppers when I went to school, and I was late..."
Oh! You skipped school and were late!
The fourth master was speechless and continued to listen to see what the child's reasoning was.
Who knew that Jin Mingming was filled with indignation and pointed in the direction of Ma Mei's house behind him, "I saw that she couldn't get off the ground after getting up early, so I went to the grass nest next to her. I thought she was going to pee, so I threw grasshoppers to scare her..."
Fourth Master: "..." You can't go to that grasshopper to catch grasshoppers. What a hatred! Why do you have to scare people? You can't force others to have a sense of public morality.
Jin Mingming huffed angrily, "When I scared her, she got up. She didn't go to relieve herself, so where was she going? To catch grasshoppers?"
Yes! Why is she hiding? Tongtong felt that if it were me, I would also feel very strange. I have to look around the corner to see what this person is doing?!
Then Jin Mingming said, "She is an adult, where is she hiding? I just felt so strange, so I just wanted to see what she was going to do, so I hid aside..."
Lin Yutong touched his nose and shrank.
The fourth master looked interested and asked the child, "What did you see?"
"I saw some people from other villages who came to our town to go to the market. They were tired and thirsty after walking all the way... When I saw a cottage on the roadside, I picked one to quench my thirst. After taking a bite, she picked it out from the grass nest.
Well, those two people must be thieves and they have to be dragged to see the officials! They came to the market, so they must have brought money! They said they only had three or five cottages, could they give ten cents? She asked them for five yuan!"
Jin Mingming was particularly angry, "I have asked about it, and they said that an adult hawthorn tree only costs two yuan... I picked a few hawthorns from her, and she dared to ask for five yuan! If the compensation is 10 cents, I think it is reasonable.
! Those two people are not right either. You can't just pick other people's things. Since you have picked them, it is reasonable to pay 10 cents. But if Grandma Ma wants five yuan, it is blackmail and bullying of people from other villages!" She groaned angrily and rubbed.
He ran to the house and said, "These are the two yuan I saved. I'm waiting for her to ask me to compensate!"
The Fourth Master plucked up the two dollars and said to himself: I have asked about everything, I have been holding it in for a long time, and finally I have saved up enough compensation money, so you decisively destroyed the tree used to blackmail people.
Already!?
He didn't talk about the child, he just turned his face and looked at Tongtong: Who does this look like?
Tongtong touched his nose and coughed lightly. How do you say this?
