The days of retirement with the singing queen

Lu Anzhi's cell phone was not on speakerphone. But the phone he got from Jiuzhou Telecom to recharge his phone bill has always had a problem, that is, the sound of the receiver is a bit loud.

Therefore, even if he did not turn on the speakerphone, what Gu Ruiyong said in the receiver could be heard by the other three people in the house.

They all looked at Lu Anzhi for an instant. The three of them were completely immersed in the ending plot just now, and they did not expect Lu Anzhi to have such thoughts.

In their opinion, this ending is already very powerful. Although it ends in a big tragedy, which makes people very unhappy, it can be said that such a tragic ending can be so magnificent and moving without being bloody and abrupt, which can be said to be quite powerful.

But now Lu Anzhi seems to be able to tell from this ending that the ending is not working out, which is really surprising.

What should I say? As expected of a novelist?

If Lu Anzhi knew what his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law were thinking, he would be speechless. After all, he is actually copying novels, so where can he write novels?

However, he had copied so many novels and still had so many novels in his mind. He could indeed feel that there were still flaws in the ending of Gu Ruiyong's "Legend of the Sky Sword".

Lu Anzhi felt that Gu Ruiyong must have been very good at Chinese when he was in school. Full marks for this reading comprehension. He just said a word, and he completely interpreted his true thoughts.

"Brother Lu, if you have any suggestions or opinions, just say them directly! We brothers don't need to be so secretive."

Gu Ruiyong said on the phone.

Lu Anzhi said: "Then I will tell you directly."

Gu Ruiyong said: "It's okay, just tell me. I'm all ears."

Lu Anzhi brewed some ideas in his mind and said, "That's it. I only watched the ending of "Legend of Heavenly Sword" and not much of the previous plot. So I don't know if my understanding is a little different." omission.

"If you look at this ending alone, I always feel that the protagonist's emotions, conflicts, and conflict with the so-called world peace are too shallow, so that the plot arrangement in which he finally draws his sword and kills himself is somewhat untenable."

"Can't stand still?"

Gu Ruiyong murmured to himself.

"Yes."

Lu Anzhi said, "It is true that the protagonist pursues world peace, dies for world peace, and can have the cause and effect of world peace connected to himself. This ending is quite tragic. Brother Gu, your emotional rendering at the end is also very good. . But I think it’s too taken for granted. Taking it for granted like this makes the protagonist’s ending seem too irresponsible, not for the sake of the world, and even seems like an escape. From the last episode, I can see that taking it like this If so, it would conflict with the protagonist’s character. So it would appear that the character cannot stand up.”

At this point, he added: "Of course, Brother Gu, your overall arrangement of the ending is very good. Most people can't feel this flaw at all."

Gu Ruiyong said depressedly: "Don't you feel it?"

Obviously Lu Anzhi's words awakened him, and he also admitted that Lu Anzhi's statement was correct. But now he discovered this problem, it was already too late. This made him a little depressed.

Depressed, Gu Ruiyong suddenly asked: "Then if it were you... Brother Lu, if you were to arrange this plot, how would you arrange it?"

Lu Anzhi thought for a while and said, "I can't arrange it. Unless I change the plot and character settings from the beginning."

"oh?"

Gu Ruiyong became curious.

Lu Anzhidao: "I will change the character and background of the protagonist from the beginning to make him conflicted. I haven't watched your show very much, so I can't say. But I can For example -

"For example, we will set the plot during the Northern Song Dynasty. I will set the protagonist as a Khitan, but this Khitan has lived in the Song Dynasty since he was a child, was raised by the Song Dynasty, and does not know his true identity. This protagonist will After being raised by the Han people, he became an upright man and gained a certain status.

"But after the plot started, he was maliciously exposed as a Khitan. From then on, he was not tolerated by the Song people, but his experience from childhood to adulthood made it impossible for him to completely cut off from the Song Dynasty. And his strength, and This allowed him to obtain a very high status in the Liao Kingdom, such as the King of Nanyuan.

"This protagonist is caught between the hatred of the country and the nation. When the war between Song and Liao is rolling, he uses his own force to force the Liao army to retreat. But in this way, he is not a Han, and the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with him. , but he forced the Liao army, feeling sorry for his fellow clansmen and comrades, and was driven to the edge by his blood and ethics, so he committed suicide."

"hiss……"

Gu Ruiyong took a breath of cold air.

Miao Suqin and Zhang Yuzhi also widened their eyes for a moment. Only then did they understand how powerful their son-in-law, a best-selling author, was. He casually came up with an idea for a novel that seemed to be very three-dimensional, even with the historical background. The character context has also been conceived.

Zhang Suxin blinked. Unlike Miao Suqin and Zhang Yuzhi, she had only one thought: her husband was indeed what netizens called a "sow with a knife." Such a tragic plot was compiled very quickly and well.

Gu Ruiyong asked: "Do you have a complete idea of ​​​​this summary?"

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "Yes, I have already thought of the title of the book."

Gu Ruiyong asked: "What is it called?"

Lu An's way: ""The Eight Parts of the Dragon"."

Gu Ruiyong asked: "How do you explain the title of this book?"

Lu Anzhi said: "The Eight Heavenly Dragons come from Buddhist scriptures and can mean 'all living beings in the world'. I used this to introduce the main theme of the novel, 'No one is unjust, and all sentient beings are guilty.'"

In fact, this statement came later. There is another theory about "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", which is that when the serialization of this novel started, only the story of the Kingdom of Dali was conceived. Because the Dali Kingdom advocates Buddhism, the title of the book "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" firstly fits the theme, and secondly I can write eight protagonists. But as I wrote later, the geographical scope gradually expanded to the Song and Liao Dynasties, the story became more and more grand, and the eight-part context was difficult to find.

It's just that it's hard for me to say this to Gu Ruiyong. So I had to say, "No one is unjust, and all sentient beings are guilty."

Gu Ruiyong sighed deeply and said, "The title of this book is a bit too profound."

Lu Anzhi said: "But it's appropriate."

"That's true."

Gu Ruiyong said, and suddenly said, "Brother Lu, if you write this story into a novel, you must give it to me to shoot! If you want to give it to others, when the time comes to compare, the ending of my "Legend of Heavenly Sword" will be black. It’s history!”

Lu Anzhi said: "Are you still filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Gu Ruiyong said: "Shoot! Of course! Can't I shoot both of them?"

Lu Anzhi said: "Then let's wait for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first. It will take some time for me to finish writing this book, and I have other fairy tale works to write, and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is not available for the time being."

Gu Ruiyong suddenly became depressed: "Then what did you tell me about "Dragon Babu"?!"

Lu Anzhi said: "Obviously you asked me for my opinion and I gave you an example."

Gu Ruiyong: "..."
