Chapter 685: Magical Realism

This time Shen Long aimed at Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum". He still said that he hadn't waited for Zhang Yimou to look at the wool alone, and now he wants to dig out the material from his movie.
"Red Sorghum" doesn't have many words. There are a total of 130,000 characters. According to the length, it can be counted as a novel, but it is much shorter than the one in Shen Long's plan. It can take a month or two. Get it done.
He didn't plan to copy it all. "Red Sorghum" is a story that happened in Gaomi, Shandong, and he has never been to Gaomi. If copied, it is easy to cause others to doubt. Fortunately, sorghum is also produced in northern Shaanxi, and Shuangshui Village was crying. A dam was built on the river and tens of thousands of catties of sorghum was irrigated.
The rest of the plot will also be rewritten based on reality, such as those related to the Anti-Japanese War. In the impression of many people, the Japanese devils did not seem to have attacked northern Shaanxi on a large scale, but this was not the case. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese devils had many times The attack on Huang Yuan did not stop until the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines basically cut off the supply line of the Japanese attacking Huang Yuan in 1940.
However, the situation in northern Shaanxi is certainly not as serious as that of Gaomi, so some of the plots in the book cannot be copied as they are. There are also high-density life customs and common spoken language that are very different from those in northern Shaanxi. These are also to be revised.
Shen Long chose this novel not only because of its reputation, but also by Zhang Yimou's adaptation of the film, but also a deeper consideration. If you want to break through the sky in the literary world, you need not only good stories, good writing, but also the best It can also innovate in the literary model, and "Red Sorghum" perfectly meets this need.
Just like a movie director, if you want to leave your name in the history of film, you need to consider not only commercial achievements, but also artistic achievements. It is best to have a breakthrough in movie language and shooting techniques.
After the 1980s, especially after the Colombian writer Garcia Marquez won the Nobel Prize in Literature next year, magical realism gradually became popular in China, and births such as "White Deer Plain", "Ancient Furnace", and "Red Sorghum" "," Dust Settled "and a large number of outstanding magical realism works have far-reaching influence.
At the same time, Jia Pingwa, Chen Zhongshi, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Su Tong, Ge Fei, Alai and other writers have become famous figures in the literary world and set up their own banners.
The reason is that, in addition to Marquez ’s Nobel Prize in Literature, magic realism has caused huge repercussions in the world. Chinese writers who have just begun to look at the world ca n’t miss it. Magic realism and Chinese history and reality Naturally, it has the soil for this literary theme.

China is a great country of magical novels, from "Shan Hai Jing" to the novels of the Six Dynasties and then to "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi", which can be described as a vast sea. The writers of all generations have constantly brought this theme to the fore. It can be said that it is not uncommon, both authors and readers are extremely familiar with this subject.
Secondly, the South American countryside described by Marquez is similar to Mo Yan ’s hometown of Gaomi and Jia Pingwa ’s hometown of Shangzhou-the hometowns where these Chinese writers grew up. The closed mysteries are full of bizarre legends, all in the agricultural society. In the transitional stage of an industrialized society, this magical and mysterious color is similar, and the actual problems encountered are also similar.
Therefore, when magical realism novels entered China, Chinese writers were immediately thrilled. They found a way to express their emotions. They found another way, combining Chinese history and folklore, and combining magical realism techniques to create To own magical realism literature.
It is still more than a year before Marquez won the Nobel Prize. If such a work can be produced at this time, after a period of controversy and fermentation, when Marquez officially wins the award, it will inevitably bring himself a huge Prestige, it's a bit of speculation, but isn't that what the Traverser likes to do best?
As for the reason, it is easy to explain that although Marquez won the award next year, his work has been translated into Chinese a few years ago, but the reason for its popularity is not widely spread. Shen Long used to be in the Huangyuan Library. Have seen his novel.
By the way, these translations were naturally not authorized by Marquez, so in the future, Marquez came to China and became very angry when he saw his novel in the bookstore. He once vowed that he would die 150 years after his death. China will not be authorized to publish its own novels, especially "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
However, by 2010, the Chinese publishing industry had become rich. They regrouped and asked Marquez to talk about copyright. The book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" paid Marquez US $ 1.2 million in royalties, which was more than normal. More than double the market price of royalties, Marquez decisively swallowed back what he said.
Officially authorized the domestic publishing house to publish his works ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Let classic works such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Cholera Period" finally meet with domestic readers. I do n’t know if he will receive the check. Can say a real fragrance.
Actually, I ca n’t resent the Chinese publishing industry. At that time, China ’s economy was backward, and it did not join the international copyright organization. At that time, even a penny of foreign exchange was very precious. There was no money to buy foreign authors ’book rights.
Shen Long took out the manuscript paper from the drawer, carefully stroked his thoughts, and then began to rewrite, and the neat lines of pen characters appeared on the manuscript paper:
On the 9th day of August in the ancient calendar of 1939, my father, a bandit species, was a little over 14 years old; he followed the team of the legendary hero Yu Zhanao who crossed the Yellow River to ambush the Japanese car team. Jacket, send them to the village head.
Commander Yu said, "Let's stay." Grandma stood, and Grandma said to my father, "Dou Guan, listen to your godfather." The father didn't say anything, he looked at Grandma's tall body, sniffing Grandma's clip The hot scent from the jacket suddenly felt cool, and he fought a battle. His stomach grunted for a while. Commander Yu patted his father's head and said, "Go, do it."
...... I wrote more than three thousand words in one breath. I felt that it was not too early. Shen Long read the manuscript carefully, revised several omissions, and then went to bed to rest.
Waking up in the morning, Shen Long went to the Dongguan Bridge again. The work in the old place was completed. He had to move to another place to work. Shen Long had already thought about where to go, so he was lazy when other contractors came to recruit Sitting on the ground, he didn't get up and squeeze past until his goal appeared.
