has finished reading twentine's novel "The Untold Story", and I know this author because I have watched two dramas adapted from her novels, one is "The Way" by Jin Chen and Wang Anyu , The other one is "Light Me Up, Warm You" starring Zhang Jingyi and Chen Feiyu . Both dramas are youth inspirational modern dramas. Nowadays, the audience has seen more of them. This kind of inspirational drama with current background is not easy to do. Especially this kind of drama that originally had an idol halo in its setting, but both of them performed very well.
But this "The Untold Story" is different. After reading a few chapters, I have a prediction that this story is not suitable for adaptation into a TV series. If you want to change it, you will have to make big changes, but it is a good movie. blueprint. In the movie adapted from
, the male and female protagonists are Qiu Ze and Lang Yueting respectively. If anything, I personally think the actor is pretty good, especially the heroine.
Lang Yueting is not a particularly famous actor, but Qiu Ze is very famous. But Lang Yueting is by no means an unknown person, such as her " Blind Detective ", " Extraordinary Mission ", " Shouting·Mountain " and "Mountain and Sea Love". She is a very high-quality actor. She participated in acting variety shows and won Appreciation of Chen Kaige . The key is that Lang Yueting and the heroine Yang Zhao have a high degree of compatibility.
Yang Zhao is different from other heroines. According to the original novel, she is not particularly beautiful, but has a unique temperament. She is not a girl who is full of vitality after taking a shot of chicken blood, nor has she experienced any ups and downs in life during the struggle period. She is a professional conservator.
She has a good life, a successful career, a stable personality, and a rich spiritual world. She is very much like the heroines in Yi Shu's works, but she has completed her personal struggle for rights and self-evolution. (Lang Yueting herself is a young pianist with high piano attainments)
The story takes place in a northern city. By chance, Yang Zhao met Chen Mingsheng, a mysterious taxi driver with an amputee. The two met and fell in love. In the eyes of many people, they were full of love. Incomprehensible.
Chen Mingsheng's fair-weather friends have a malicious suspicion about Yang Zhao. She is perverted, abnormal, and aesthetically deformed, and she especially likes disabled people like Chen Mingsheng.
But to us viewers, the male protagonist Chen Mingsheng has enough charm to stand with Yang Zhao. He is an ordinary and ordinary anti-drug hero.
Why do I say that this story is suitable to be adapted into a movie rather than a TV series? Mainly because of the character of the heroine. She is special enough and the things she encounters are full of drama. However, this person is too emotionally stable, such as Chen Mingsheng’s girlfriend who is a friend of fair-weather friends. She was indifferent to repeated provocations and overt sarcasm, but she didn't pretend not to hear, but had an indifferent attitude. Okay, I understand. She is not even as condescending and tolerant as the character Wang Zhiwen in "The Way of Heaven". This statement is very famous. What is she? She really felt that it was not important and had nothing to do with her. She had her own complete spiritual world.
So the image of the heroine is not high-end at all. Compared with the anti-drug hero hero, she is more like every ordinary person among us, but she is more self-contained than us. You can say that her life is thinner. Call her richer, but she is special after all.
Chen Mingsheng's life is complicated yet simple. He is the posthumous son of a heroic policeman, and he inevitably became an anti-narcotics policeman. Not long after he started working, he became an undercover policeman. He worked there for eight years until he was injured and had his leg amputated before he had a chance to breathe. , became a taxi driver and met Yang Zhao. For two people like
, we have reason to believe that they recognized each other among thousands of people.
(Of course, this poster is indeed a bit confusing)
This book is called "The Unknown Story". The author calls the ending a bright one in the postscript. Maybe for many viewers, this ending has dark elements and With the cruel ending, you will probably understand why it is called "The Untold Story". The subject who has such feelings is the brother of the heroine who has experienced the story, the narrator of the story, and the viewers of the story like us. . Maybe everyone has been exposed to something like "Untold Story"
to varying degrees
