The question drawn by Happy Code is certainly not very difficult under normal circumstances, but when it is highly consistent with the previous contestant's work, it becomes a big problem.
Naturally, there are no identical questions in the question bank, but I can't help but think that someone's brainwaves are exactly the same as those of the latecomers. Moreover, Yin Lian's previous stories were well written and left a strong impression on Happy Code's brain. This is when the story itself has the strongest impact. If Happy Code were to write a story with the same theme at this moment, it would be very difficult. It’s hard not to be influenced by Yin Lian’s works. And if the two stories have a certain degree of similarity, as a latecomer, his evaluation will definitely drop.
Happy Code frowned, obviously in annoyance. But he was considered a relatively skilled professional writer, so he still suppressed his feelings about Yin Lian's story and prepared to find a completely different entry point to start telling the story. Although a large gap in entry points does not guarantee that the core of the entire story is different, it will at least increase the difference between the two stories.
Then he began to tell his story.
He told a story with a rather special theme.
In Yin Lian's view, the starting point of this story is a bit like "Les Misérables", but the difference is very big. The overall style is not as realistic as "Les Misérables" and more dramatic, but on the other hand it is not so heavy - in the end This is evident in the ending and story background.
This story is about a young man who made a mistake when he was a teenager and accidentally did a bad thing. From then on, he made one wrong step after another, and his life began to be messed up. When he wanted to turn around, he either lacked determination and was pulled back by the people around him again, or he couldn't let go of things due to various past causes and effects, so he had no choice but to stay stuck in it. He seemed to be standing on a cliff, being pulled by forces from two different directions. On the one hand were the people who loved him, and on the other hand were his companions from the dark side who had completely fallen.
In fact, the two would occasionally exchange roles. For example, when he was young, he was encouraged to indulge together at the beginning, but in the end he was pushed to save himself.
Because the background of the story is relatively dark, it is not set in the modern era of Xia Kingdom. However, the time is actually not too long ago. It was roughly not long before the formal development of work liberalization. The technological level of the story may be similar to that of the earth.
One of the brighter things than "Les Miserables" is that the young man succeeded in saving himself alive, and at the end, he began to help those friends who wanted to escape from the sea of suffering to save themselves. This is also the difference caused by the social background of the two - in fact, in "Les Misérables", Jean Valjean actually succeeded in saving himself in the end, although only his soul, not his body, succeeded in self-rescue. , but the changes in the soul are actually of far greater significance to the stock market itself.
This is true for the protagonist, it is true for the author, and it is true for the reader.
But the ending of the Happy Code here actually reflects to a greater extent not the gap in the core of the story, but the difference in social background and people's spiritual feelings.
If anything, Yin Lian felt that it was not as shocking as Les Misérables.
After all, Happy Code himself lives in modern times, not more than a hundred years ago, so although his story is based on the background of that era, it is not realistic at all, but more like the content of a TV series. The fabricated plots were always not so real and shocking, and because of time constraints, he also used a lot of tricks when writing the stories. Although they were sensational, they were not delicate.
Yin Lian has never been so deeply aware of the difference that writing skills and writing skills can bring in the creative process.
If the Happy Code lived in the era where the protagonist lived more than a hundred years ago, then he would be able to naturally understand the true appearance of the surrounding environment without having to have much skills and experience, and integrate it into the story to write a true story. images of the times.
But if you don’t have such life experience, then if you are at the level of Wei Yue or Ke Ke, they can naturally shape the logic of the characters and the plot of the story very delicately, and even use some skills to achieve the scene I didn’t know at the time. However, through high-end storytelling skills, the era and characters of the time can be portrayed to a lifelike level.
The Happiness Code obviously can’t do that.
His story is a little rough.
In fact, when Yin Lian writes, he is not delicate enough. But after all, she had just entered the industry, and she was obsessed with the authorities. She didn't understand how much impact this "lack of finesse" would have on her works. When creators are creating, most of them are fully immersed in it and cannot observe and examine their works rationally.
But at this moment, watching the story of the completion of the happiness code, Yin Lian suddenly realized it.
Sure enough, sometimes it is important to learn from others. Not only from good works, but also from the shortcomings of others, you must examine yourself to see your own shortcomings.
In fact, under normal circumstances, although the story of "The Happiness Code" is a bit rough, the completion level is okay, so it should be able to get one point. But his story is still in contrast to Yin Lian's story after all. The referee believes that the core of the two is similar, but the story of the happiness code lacks real feelings and touches, and the plot is too cliche and even patchwork. Suspicion was ruthlessly deprived of this point.
When this result came out, Wei Yue's fans were instantly delighted - no one thought that Wei Yue might not get this point.
In fact, he did get three points.
Counting Yin Lian, the topic is different, but the core is similar. Wei Yue is actually the third person to talk about this topic. And unlike Yin Lian, he was prepared for the failure of the happiness code from the beginning, so he started with happiness. The idea of the code begins after the story is told.
But his story is completely different from The Happiness Code. If I must say it, it is ingeniously structured and emotionally delicate.
His subject matter span is wider than that of Wei Yuelai, and both the entry point and the core are completely different from Yin Lian and The Happiness Code.
Yin Lian and The Happiness Code are both about how the protagonist becomes his own hero, but Wei Yue is about one person becoming another hero in his heart, a completely imperfect hero.
There is a boy who has a wealthy family, but he is not good at anything. Moreover, due to the bad environment and the bad character of the people he socializes with, all the friends he makes are pigs and dogs. If this continues, he will probably become a human being in the end. You are a scumbag, and then you will lose all your wealth and endanger society.
But at this time, by chance, he met another person in disguise.
That day when I was a teenager, my mother forced me to dress up and meet my elders for various reasons. At that time, he was in confusion and self-doubt because of his lingering conscience and some bad things he did with his friends. However, at this time, he met a little girl who was in urgent need of help. The little girl suffered from a genetic disease and needed a lot of money for treatment. However, her childcare school has not been able to apply for this huge sum of money, so she can only continue to experience the pain and survive with conservative treatment. To survive.
A coincidental encounter turns the boy into a hero for girls. Perhaps the feeling of being a hero was too good. Later, the boy kept visiting the girl, pretending to be completely different from his usual appearance. The boy was usually wild and wild. Because he grew up in a wealthy family, he behaved lawlessly and did many disgusting things. However, in front of the girl, he turned into a good boy in the blink of an eye, covering himself with a layer of skin and trying to maintain this kind of behavior. image.
As the two got closer and closer, the young man even began to change himself step by step in order to maintain this image. There are more and more lies, but at the same time, because of his efforts, the lies are slowly becoming reality.
But if you tell too many lies, you will still be discovered. Especially as time passed, in the eyes of the boy's friends, the flaws in his actions became more and more obvious. Finally one day, another wave of rich kids who had a grudge against the boy discovered his secret and began to try to threaten him with it. In order to protect the girl, the two sides had a serious conflict, and the boy's true face was revealed in front of the girl.
However, this did not change the girl's mind. She still thinks the boy is a hero. Even though many of his past actions were unheroic, the things he did for her would not change at all because of other things.
He was still her hero.
The girl didn't know that at this moment, to the boy, she was actually his hero. Because of her words, his life may have finally taken a completely different path.
Although Wei Yue approached the theme of the "hero of the heart" from a completely different perspective, he perfectly grasped the core of the theme and told the story extremely vividly and deeply. Many characters in the story actually only have one or two lines, but these two lines can vividly express the characters' personalities and emotions.
And this is actually the delicacy of the story that both Yin Lian and The Happiness Code are somewhat lacking.
As soon as Wei Yue finished telling his story, he won thunderous applause and cheers. His fans didn't even need the referee to announce the result, they were already very sure that Wei Yue had scored the three points. In fact, this was indeed the case. The host immediately announced that Wei Yue had won the three points. And after that it's his own turn, whether he gets one point or three points, as long as Ayin doesn't make more mistakes, then Yin Lian is unlikely to surpass Wei Yue.
But this is not the case.
Because right after, Su Bei drew a question called "Ghosts in the Human Heart". He failed and passed the question to Ke Ke. In fact, Ke Ke is best at ghost stories, but she has told them a lot before. Although her ghost stories have always been outstanding, and she can arouse the audience's emotions just by telling them, but after all, the density is too high, and she is not always able to tell them. There are good jokes every round. But the referee's requirements are not low, and they are not as easy to fool as ordinary spectators.
The more horror stories they tell, the more demanding they will be for Ke Ke to tell similar stories.
In fact, the title "Ghost in the Heart" does not necessarily have to be a horror story.
Unfortunately, Ke Ke is good at horror stories or love stories, not such philosophical stories, so in this round, although she told a good ghost story, she still failed when the host announced the result.
And when the question came to Ayin, Yin Lian had already cheered up.
This time Ayin told a bloody family story, which was roughly the plot of the best relatives, and then naturally passed it.
The referee's evaluation of her was: lack of human portrayal, and the villain's image is paper-like. Since they don't have the complexity of human nature, how can they be regarded as ghosts in the "human heart"?
The audience did not expect such a change in the plot. They were shocked and cheered up. The competition team quickly realized that such an anxious battle situation had attracted great attention, and immediately changed the title of the live broadcast. and stepped up editing of new commercials.
At this time, Yin Lian had spent enough time to conceive a complete story.
A comic story.
