How to disrupt the order of time and space? This is actually very simple. Let's write it in the normal order first. After we finish it, we can shuffle the chapters or something and that's it. In this way, by disrupting the order, when readers or viewers see the story, they actually see it from the middle of the story. In this way, there is no introduction to the plot, no introduction to the various characters' personalities and backgrounds, and the readers and viewers are suddenly thrown into the middle of the story. In this way, readers and viewers will be confused. Will they think this is the first episode? Yes, that's right, but why did it happen suddenly? Then they felt very strange and wanted to understand what such a story was about! It's like hearing someone tell a story, but starting to listen halfway through it. After only listening to a little bit, of course you don't know the plot before and after, and of course you'll be very curious!
Yes, this is just like people like to listen to gossip. In fact, people are a little bit curious and tend to kill the cat. If you tell a story honestly from the beginning, some people may be picky and don't want to hear it, but if you tell it from the middle, then such a person will easily become interested! Sometimes people are such a mean being. Sometimes people even suddenly interrupt a few episodes while watching a TV series, but after watching the contextual plot progress, they can complete such a missing story without leaving any trace. It has to be said that human imagination is very full. . So it would be very interesting to make full use of human imagination to write such a book, right?
Of course, these are all the reasons Wen Xun came up with. In fact, he just wanted to have fun like this. Or to put it more artistically and realistically. He just wanted to feel good. I just want to be like Quentin Tarantino! How can something like a light novel be related to a movie genius like Quentin Tarantino? Because this is a bit borrowed from the tricks Quentin Tarantino played in a film like "Dangerous Liaisons"! In "Dangerous Liaisons", the director divided a simple story into three parts. Then broadcast them out of order to create a very special effect. In fact, "Dangerous Liaisons" is a movie that is less well-known than his other works. At the same time, many people also mentioned in the comments that this movie is "not Quentin enough" because the cult flavor is not strong enough and the violence The bloody and pornographic dialogue is not refreshing enough. This may be because this is the only movie where the story is taken from someone else, and Quentin handles it very restrained, which is why it attracted the above evaluation. but. You can still see Quentin's skillful ability to dismantle scenes and subvert characters, and you can see his innovation in this story.
How to innovate? First of all, it goes without saying that Quentin¡¯s pursuit of subversion and unconventionality. In the police film "Dangerous Liaisons", Quentin's subversive label is reflected in: the audience can see that the relationship between the characters in "Dangerous Liaisons" is basically very different from the traditional police film. Here, white people are controlled by black people, men are controlled by women, police are controlled by gangsters, and the strong are controlled by the weak. Although racism and women's issues have gradually improved in the late last century, movies in which the relationship between the above three are completely subverted can only be seen in Quentin's movies. This is subversion one.
Unlike most police and gangster films in Hollywood, "Dangerous Liaisons" does not have obvious and clich¨¦d violent elements such as gunfights, action, car chases, and strong men. At the same time, this is another highly intelligent crime movie. But he did not focus on playing with technology, but focused on the protagonist's control and grasp of the relationship between the characters. on the one hand. The mutual trust between the characters in the film is full of a sense of crisis. If the protagonist makes a slight mistake in judgment, all his previous achievements will be wasted; on the other hand, the relationship between the characters creates a suspense for the audience. Because of this, I think the best translation of this movie should be "Dangerous Liaisons" as translated by Hong Kong people, which is more accurate and easier to attract audiences. Therefore, Quentin's careful design focuses on focusing the film's tension on the subtle character relationships, allowing the audience to see a suffocating psychological battle. This can be considered a kind of "quiet violence", with many crises imminent and imminent, and indeed presents a "dangerous relationship".
To sum up, we can conclude that, on the one hand, Quentin has subverted the character setting of police and gangster movies; on the other hand, he has abandoned many of the usual thrill, action, and crime-solving routines and models of police and gangster movies. Instead, the core of the film is placed in the game competition between the characters. This is Quentin¡¯s pursuit of subverting the model. In addition to subversion, there is also the word deconstruction, which is a label that Kun fans must talk about. The word deconstruction is quite mysterious, and it seems that many interpretations tend to interpret it together with postmodernism. However, in this movie, we can actually use "dismantling" to analyze the story, such as the "package exchange" section. This scene is undoubtedly the most exciting part of the film, and it is also an important part for the audience to solve the puzzle. Obviously this is Quentin's innovation of the original narrative method of the novel. Director Quentin uses an omniscient perspective to analyze the story.??This scene is performed from three different perspectives. The following will analyze the artistic effect of Quentin's dismantling from three aspects:
For example, the normal linear sequence should be that the three people edit in parallel in chronological order: Jack enters the door, Louis and May enter the mall while arguing, Max enters; Jack tries on clothes, Louis and May stand still, Max stops; Jack enters In the fitting room, May followed and talked with Jack; Louis and Max met each other; after the exchange, May carried her bag and left with Louis; Jack walked out of the store, May and Louis went out; Max entered the house to get the bag, and Jack went out to meet with the police. May and Louis find a car to retreat. . . . . . Such frequent switching of characters will draw the audience's attention to the action of changing bags, rather than the subtle relationship between the characters. More importantly, the suspense of the package change was seen by the audience before it was even halfway through, which inevitably frustrated the audience's expectations. The order of perspectives after the dismantling of this plot is - Jack - May & Louis - Max. After separating these three paragraphs, it directly makes the development of each aspect of the plot more clean and neat, so it has the following effect: each group of characters will be more three-dimensional when drawn separately, and the audience will be able to focus more easily. They have their own interests and mentality in the process of exchanging packages; because the characters are not laid out in parallel from the beginning, but are described individually. The "dangerous relationships" between characters are more ambiguous. This achieves the feeling that the title of the film wants to give the audience - a dangerous relationship. further. The suspense of the story also deepens. On the other hand, if we follow the normal narrative sequence, then the highlight of this paragraph should be the complex process and action of "changing bags", rather than the competitive relationship between the characters.
Of course, having said that, Wen Xun likes Quentin Tarantino, and he will not imitate Quentin Tarantino too much in a novel destined to be adapted into a cartoon. He would not be too literary in such a light novel for teenagers. After all, to be honest, he is not a very artistic person. Although in such a world, he is famous for his literature and art, don't forget that his literature and art come from his dreams, not his real literature and art! So he doesn't have much interest in playing something too literary. It doesn¡¯t mean that like many literary and artistic young people, they are only happy when others can¡¯t understand them. Wen Xun, relatively speaking, still hopes that everyone can understand his stuff, but he just wants to play a little trick!
Under such a situation, when he wrote such a novel, he might have messed up the content of more than ten chapters. For example, how about showing it to readers in the order"2, 3. 5, 10, 13, 14, 4, 7, 6, 8, 1, 12, 11, 9"? Why do this? It can be considered that Sumiko is the protagonist and the god of such a world, but she doesn't know it. Then when she felt the world was a little boring, she caused the world to change through various chaos in her mind, making the story weird and out of sequence! It can be said that such a story is the spiritual world of Sumiko, or simply the fantasy in her mind about the world she expects during her boring daily school days!
That¡¯s right, who said that on the surface the story is a random story between a middle school student and her classmates, but the whole story can¡¯t be made from the protagonist¡¯s imagination? Maybe these characters other than the protagonist are real, but the protagonist feels too boring in daily life, so she fantasizes about her deskmates and classmates being aliens, and then she also fantasizes that she is not I knew it, so I started messing around with my classmates in a fantasy world. Isn¡¯t this okay? Actually it works! Maybe after the publishing house or something sees such a trick, it will have a headache and cannot sleep. It will feel that sales will definitely be cheated, and it will feel that it will definitely lose money when the cartoon is made.
But who told us that Wen Xun is a cow? Who told Kadokawa Bookstore to curry favor with Jia Hongjian? Who told everyone to have a gambling agreement with each other? At present, the life of Wen Xun and his family is relatively difficult. In such a situation, Wen Xun has no time and experience to mess around. It¡¯s not allowed! The children of the poor have already become the head of the family, and they have to consider the livelihood of the family at a young age. Where is the time and space for him to play childishly? But it's different now. Now that he's Wen Xun famous and rich, he can finally live his life according to his own temperament. Under such a situation, if he was a little willful and had fun, what would happen? Is it illegal? Is it morally corrupt? No one at Kadokawa Bookstore said that Wen Xun went too far, so how could anyone else care about him? Of course, Kadokawa Bookstore actually had no idea that Wen Xun was planning to write this. I guess if they knew about it, they would have to stop Wen Xun in various ways, right?
Soon, Wen Xun started writing this. I have to say, this kind of childish plot allows the protagonist to mess around with various friends, and the plot is really fast to write. Because I happened to meet WenWith his appetite, he can let him "do whatever he wants", so it really feels like a god when writing! In about a week, Wen Xun basically completed the 14-chapter manuscript. Of course this is a first draft, but even for a first draft it is quite fast, equivalent to writing two chapters in one day! And one chapter is something that requires at least 30 minutes of animation! No writer in China or Japan can match this speed! Of course, after such a first draft is written, it is impossible to give it directly to Kadokawa Shoten. Next, there will be revisions and various rectifications, and besides, isn¡¯t it still written in Chinese characters? Don¡¯t we still need to translate it into Japanese?
So in fact, when Wen Xun handed over such a completely completed manuscript to Kadokawa Shoten, it was actually a month later. After he notified people from Kadokawa Shoten to come and pick up the manuscript, Mr. Nakamura from Kadokawa Shoten, who was in charge of running errands for him, came right over and bowed and thanked him without even looking at it. The manuscript was taken away. Looking at Nakamura now, he is quite happy. He feels that Wen Xun is just like a model worker. He also says in various ways that Wen Xun has worked hard. But he probably never thought about what was written in such a manuscript? I really don¡¯t know what the expressions of a group of senior executives will be like after they see what Wen Xun wrote when the manuscript is returned to Kadokawa Shoten!
Wen Xun really wanted to see the expressions of such people with his own eyes, but he had no choice. However, half a day after taking the manuscript, it was already time to get off work, but Nakamura hurriedly called, "Mr. Wen, the manuscript you gave me, was the order of the chapters wrong when binding? "When Nakamura asked such a question, everyone could hear his expectations on the other end of the phone! Everyone could tell that he really wanted to hear Wen Xun say "yes". What a pity, there really is no wrong binding! So at this time Wen Xun said something calmly - "That's right, I'm not mistaken, that's the order. I'm not going to follow the normal order when writing a book this time. I just want to plunge into a lot of things." The irrelevant content is just to disrupt the entire narrative rhythm!¡±
After he said this, there was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time. I don¡¯t know if Nakamura was dumbfounded or the phone line was broken or something! Feeling the surprise and confusion on the phone, Wen Xun was so happy that he smiled as much as he could! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
