After writing the book, all of Yokohama wanted to hunt me down

"Those things that are real or turned into reality will exist in this world in another way.

From the moment they are born, they are destined to be part of the world. 』

Editor-in-chief Kurata "should" not come out.

He originally wanted to say that Yuan Xuan should have her own ideas, should do what she can do at her age, and should... strive for "freedom".

Man lives for freedom.

But under the gaze of Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's red eyes, he lost his voice, and he couldn't squeeze out a word from his mouth.

Under great pressure, the editor-in-chief Kurata involuntarily raised his hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "You should think about adapting it into a movie, after all, it's a rare opportunity. ..."

The smaller and smaller voice also revealed his inner state.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's "color" changed slightly, he knew about this - there was a director who wanted to make "Memory" into a movie.

This was news before the singularity incident, but he didn't take it seriously at the time, because the editor-in-chief Kurata only said that the other party seemed to have such an intention.

This kind of ambiguous statement could not attract Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's attention, so he did not give clear instructions to the editor-in-chief Kurata. Perhaps it was because of this attitude that the other party felt that he meant "you can tell Yuanxuan".

The editor-in-chief Kurata waited until now to tell Yuan Xuan, and it should be until now that he got the exact news.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko remembered the signing event back then.

At the very beginning, he didn't want Yuan Xuan to participate, but in the end she went anyway.

But the editor-in-chief Kurata had already come to him, and it was not appropriate for him to refuse, so he thought of a countermeasure.

Standing behind Yuanxuan, Shibusawa Ryuhiko could get close to Yuanxuan's ear as long as he lowered his head slightly.

"If you want to promise, just promise."

His words made Yuan Xuan turn her head, her expression had an obvious sense of rejection.

Under Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's attitude of encouragement, Yuanxuan tightened her lips, and she said hesitantly, "But if it is made into a movie..."

Seeing this appearance, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko confirmed her thoughts—Yuan Xuan didn't want to agree.

It's not that she feels her novel is totally unworthy of being made into a movie.It is a very touching thing to be recognized by others.

But the main reason is the special "nature" of the protagonist in the story "Memory" - when I wrote this story, although I used No.1 as "I", I didn't even mention "I" in the whole text The "gender" of Yuan Xuan, but what Yuan Xuan substituted was indeed the image of her brother.

It's just that subconsciously, she can't help but integrate a part of herself into it—it can be said that "I" is the fusion of her and her brother.

It was hard for her to imagine the posture when this role was played by others.

In Yuan Xuan's view, no one in this world can play this role.

Even Shibusawa Ryuhiko couldn't have this identity, so the others couldn't even do it.

This was originally a character who "didn't exist".

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko looked at her gently and let her express her thoughts, "I'm sorry," she turned around and said to Editor Kurata, "Please help me tell Director Kaido that I cannot agree to this matter." thing."

Her refusal was completely out of editor Kurata's expectation.

He wanted to say something else, he wanted to persuade Yuan Xuan to think about it again, this opportunity is very rare, if she agrees, it will be of great benefit to her.

But he was once again intimidated by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's eyes.

Shibusawa Ryuhiko felt that his retreat had a good effect.

After warning the editor-in-chief Kurata not to talk too much with his eyes, he "tactfully" reminded the editor-in-chief Kurata that he should hurry back to the publishing house and continue working.

Editor-in-Chief Kurata faced that frightening look, and replied hesitantly: "Yes, yes, I still have work to do, and I'm going back now... Teacher Yuan, if you have anything else to do next time, you can always Contact me……"

The steps he took when he left were as if he ran out of some kind of dragon's pool and tiger's lair.

Seeing the other party leave, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, who saw off the editor-in-chief Kurata, finally felt a little satisfied.

He "touched" Yuan Xuan's hair, and the same thin braid as his was combed on the side of her hair.The slender fingers ran through her hair, and the black nails covered her hair, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's heart sank a little.

"Don't take this kind of thing to heart, you really should take a good rest now."

He comforted habitually, and closed the door again.

They have not left the house for nearly a month.

Sometimes Yuanxuan would stand in front of the window and look out. She thought of the time when she and Shibusawa Tatsuhiko went for a walk together, and how he fell into a "coma" not long ago to save her.

In her opinion, that incident had a bad influence on Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.

The previous life in the orphanage also left a bad influence on Yuan Xuan. For a long time, she was unable to communicate normally with others, nor could she establish contact with others.

Because her heart was hurt.

But Shibusawa Tatsuhiko tolerated her very patiently, guided her, and saved her.

Now their positions have changed, and when he needs him, Yuanxuan thought, she must not leave Shibusawa Tatsuhiko alone.

She unexpectedly heard from Shibusawa Tatsuhiko's words the meaning of compromising, as if he was forcing himself to fulfill her.

She doesn't want to hurt each other.

When he misunderstood her thoughts, Yuan Xuan thought she should explain.

"It's not because I need a break," she said softly. "I don't want the novel to be made into a movie, but because I think that some things are actually enough to stay on the surface."

The elder brother's figure, his existence, is like a hazy phantom.

In a sense, he has become one with Yuan Xuan, because he lives in Yuan Xuan's heart.

Yuan Xuan's words made Shibusawa Ryuhiko feel that there was an extraordinary meaning in them.

He squinted his eyes, and the words that "Shibusawa Ryuhiko" said that night before he disappeared unconsciously appeared in his mind - what is the most important thing in Yuan Xuan's heart?

He really didn't know.

But Shibusawa Tatsuhiko always felt that he was only a little bit away from that thing.

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't ask Yuan Xuan directly.

Kaidoyo recently saw a very interesting work.

As a director who has directed many films and won a lot of outstanding awards, his vision can be described as vicious.

Archaeologists reported on the news recently discovered ancient temples on the hills in the suburbs of Tokyo, and the many bones hidden in the temples attracted his attention.

And the novel "Memory", which is said to be the "work of prophecy" and "ancient secret" of this news, also made this famous director condescend to read it a few times.

The author of "Memory" is a real newcomer novelist, whether it is from the content of her works or from the pseudonym, this is confirmed.

The immature writing, the plot that barely passes the test, if there is no news, this will only be a novel without any appeal.

This is the reality. Director Kaido has already understood the reality very clearly. He knows what everyone wants to see—compared with pure aesthetics and artistic pursuits, he has a better understanding of the commercial market demand.

This is the root cause of his success and the foundation of his youthful fame.

Director Kaido saw a business opportunity from this novel, and he found something that could become box office (money).

But he also saw something else, something very wonderful.

This feeling became more real after he finished reading the whole novel and found her original article.

Director Haidao is very confident. He knows that for such an unknown novelist, as long as he proposes to acquire the other's novel for filming, the other party will definitely sell the copyright to him without hesitation.

So he had his assistant contact her editor.

But a day later, Director Kaido got a refusal.

He couldn't figure it out very much, which even made him lose his composure on the spot. It was originally a call between an assistant and an editor, but he grabbed the receiver and asked the other party directly, "Why?"

Is it because the price has not been negotiated, so that the other party is not satisfied?

Director Kaido's attitude is still contemptuous. Even though he does have a little appreciation for the novel and the person who wrote it, his attitude is still contemptuous.

——It is true that young people who have achieved a little bit think they are great, so they are picky about everything they look at.

He thought that within the acceptable range, he could also give the other party some concessions.

But her editor, editor-in-chief Kurata of the publishing house, gave him a completely puzzled answer.

Editor-in-Chief Kurata apologized very sincerely. He felt very sorry, but the author of the novel didn't tell him the reason, so he couldn't answer Kaido's "why".

Instead, Director Kaidou was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly he wanted to see her.

The editor-in-chief Kurata was breathless when he heard this request, and he really wanted to agree on the spot, but, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Yuan's situation is a little special, so I can't make decisions for her, and I can't give her contact information to you. Here you are..."

"Special" refers to "under the control of others". In the view of editor-in-chief Kurata, she is completely controlled by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko, and she can't even take half a step from her family.

When editor-in-chief Kurata gritted his teeth and said these words, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe.

He felt that Yuan Xuan had missed a precious opportunity that might only come once in a lifetime—an opportunity that could raise her status in "society" to a higher level.

In society, a person's status is actually defined by a combination of many factors, but Yuan Xuan seems to want to completely cut off his connection with it—or, in other words, was forced to cut off his connection with it.

Director Kaido didn't know the complexity, he only knew that the more it happened, the more he wanted to get the right to shoot.

He thought of a way to write letters as a "reader".

In this way, even if the editor-in-chief Kurata doesn't tell him the contact information, he can still communicate with "Yuan".

Yuan Xuan received a somewhat strange letter.

In the letter, the other party first praised her for choosing a unique perspective, and then praised her eloquently for the arrangement of the plot, and finally he said——

"It's still not enough to feel it just from the text. If it can be made into a movie, it must be a very good work!" 』

Yuan Xuan subconsciously remembered what the editor-in-chief Kurata had mentioned to her a few days ago, that a director wanted to make "Memory" into a movie.

She remembered the other party's last name, which seemed to be "Kaido".

Yuan Xuan's eyes fell on the end of the letter. On the reader's signature, the words "Hai Dao and" were impressively written.

The "if it can be made into a movie" mentioned in the letter is not a coincidence, he did it on purpose.

Yuan Xuan didn't understand his intentions without clearly stating his intention for coming, but undisguisedly revealing his identity in signing the money.

But now that she has recognized the person, she feels that it is more appropriate to write a reply to the other party.

After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she should be more honest-everything that happened before had proved to her that doing so was often the best.

"Not long ago, my editor, Mr. Kurata, told me good news. He said, "Director Kaido wants to make "Memory" into a movie." When I learned about it, I was also very honored.

If I have written other novels, and could have other works that are loved, I will not hesitate.However, for me, "Memory" has an extraordinary meaning.

When I decided to write this story, I was in a very critical period. This is the first "novel" I wrote, and I kept my selfishness in the choice of its protagonist.

Saying this may make others feel ridiculous, but this is indeed my true opinion, and I personally think it is valuable to tell others my true thoughts.

The protagonist of the story "Memory", in my opinion, no one in this world can play this role.

This is the main reason why I declined the invitation to make "Memory" into a film. 』

This is probably the most "arrogant" reply that Yuan Xuan has ever written.

But she didn't want a strange face, a strange person, to appear instead of her brother—even if everyone who watched the movie didn't know who her brother was.

But Yuan Xuan knew it herself.She can't lie to herself.

Director Kaido who received the reply immediately understood what she meant-she felt that no one could play the role of "protagonist".

It is very normal for a novelist to have a special love for the protagonist in her novel, not to mention that this is her first novel in the true sense.

From the story she described, in fact, the image of the protagonist is not important, what is important is the "core" in it.

This is the basis for a story, especially a good story, to be given an excellent rating.

The story of "Memory" has a "tragedy" core.

Even if she didn't write it out on the bright side, and there was no practical proof, Director Kaido still saw it. This is the only thing that can be called a "highlight" in her novel.

It can be seen from the reply that she already knows that the reader "Kaido Yo" who wrote to her is actually the director "Kaido" who wants to make a movie.

He decided to write another letter.

When he wrote to her for the second time, director Kaido did not continue to hide and communicate with her in a tone that seemed to be eccentric, but directly and clearly stated his thoughts.

He wanted to use a special way of shooting, which is also a form of film that he has never touched.

— Pseudo-documentary.

Not only is the shooting method different from ordinary movies, but the key points of pseudo-documentary shooting are also different from ordinary movies. This is the first time Director Kaido has tried this kind of subject matter.

He wants to use this work to break the inherent perception of him in the media and film industry.

Directors of commercial films cannot actually have a highly respected status.

But directors who focus on aesthetics, directors who shoot literary films, often cannot get enough financial support.

While director Kaido is very realistic, he actually has a heart that wants to be recognized.

He wants to touch what is called "art".

This is the real reason why he wanted to shoot "Memory".

The novel "Memory" was born at a very suitable time. The temples discovered by archaeologists have the same sect name as the temple "Eternal Bliss" in the novel. Later, it seems that some archaeologists found out from ancient temple books It records the relevant content of the patriarch of "Eternal Bliss Sect".

"The Son of Mercy has white oak-colored hair, rainbow-colored eyes filled with brilliant brilliance, and a compassionate smile on his face.He would always shed tears for those unfortunate people, crying and giving guidance to the believers, "It's so pitiful, you will definitely go to bliss."

He is the messenger of God, a child who can hear the voice of God.It is the spider's silk that Buddha put down from the lotus pond and hangs down from the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. 』

In the novelist "Yuan"'s "Memory", the image of the godfather she portrayed also has white oak hair "color" and colorful "color" eyes, and will say to the believers, "You can definitely go to bliss."

Such a wonderful coincidence makes everyone believe that "Yuan"'s novel "Memory" has an inseparable connection with the real Bliss Cult.

In particular, she mentioned in the novel that the Godfather made many believers go to bliss. If you think about it carefully, doesn't it correspond to the fact that archaeologists found a large number of bones in temples in the real world?

How did the believers who turned into bones die?What does it have to do with the priest?

Questions like these run through people's minds, making everyone's speculation and discussions about "Memory" continue in various forums.

The combination of reality and fiction blurs the distance between fiction and reality.Director Kaido thinks this is a very good theme, and it is also a very suitable theme for him to use as a transformational work.

So in the letter, Director Kaidao told Yuan Xuan that the protagonist of the story does not need to show his complete image at all, or even let people know whether he is a man or a woman.

"I" can be a narrator, a bystander, or even just use the lens of the camera to replace the perspective of "I". This is the case in her novels, and the whole story is seen from the perspective of "I". everything.

In this case, there is no need to worry that the image of the protagonist will not match the image in her mind.

When she received the second letter from Director Kaidao, Yuan Xuan was completely overwhelmed by him.

In fact, from the first time he wrote a letter to herself, Yuan Xuan was already very moved, because what she heard about director Kaido's life from editor-in-chief Kurata made her feel that director Kaido should be a very accomplished person.

With his achievements, writing to her is a condescension.

But his first letter changed Yuan Xuan's opinion.By the time he sent the second letter, Yuan Xuan had no reason to refuse.

In fact, Yuan Xuan didn't understand the shooting techniques he described at all, and he didn't have the knowledge reserve in this area, which is a manifestation of the restraint and limitation of knowledge.

When she was young, when the war was spreading, movies were a very distant thing for them. Yuan Xuan once saw the description of movies in a book. Many people sat in a wide movie theater and watched the same screen. According to the content shown, different people have different sorrows and joys in their hearts.

At that time, he really wanted to go to the movies with his brother. When he put forward his idea, his brother hugged her lovingly and said, "When Xuan grows up, let's go to the movies together, go to the cinema. The movie that Aya wants to see."

In a sense, this is an "agreement" between her and her brother.

This agreement was actually fulfilled, because one day a film show came from the village, and they set up a barrier and set up a venue at the entrance of the village. Yuan Xuan and her brother watched an "open-air" movie together.

In fact, she doesn't remember the content of the movie anymore, and it shouldn't be an interesting movie, and because there are too many people, she can't hear the lines of the movie at all.

The village was too closed, and almost all the people who hadn't seen the movie were mobilized, crowding the place where the movie was shown. Among the crowds, Yuan Xuan's thin body was completely unable to stand firmly in the crowd.

Seeing her like this, her brother picked her up and let her sit on his neck, and she watched the whole movie like this.

Afterwards, Yuan Xuan only remembered the feeling of sitting on her brother's neck. She felt that her brother had really devoted his whole life to supporting her weight. He was not only a father, a mother, but also an elder brother.

Yuanxuan agreed to Director Kaido's request.

Editor-in-Chief Kurata had no idea what had happened.

He only knew that a few days after Yuanxuan rejected director Haidao's adaptation of the novel "Memory", he suddenly received another notice that director Haidao would go to the publishing house with a contract to discuss specific matters with him in a few days.

Because Yuanxuan euphemistically expressed the inconvenience of her current situation in the reply, she said that she can entrust editor-in-chief Kurata to handle related matters on her behalf, and the irreplaceable signing link is to ask editor-in-chief Kurata to bring the contract to her home .

Having obtained the result he wanted, Director Kaido readily agreed without asking any reason.

Editor-in-Chief Kurata quickly completed the contract and took it to find Yuanxuan.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko was stunned for a while for this development beyond his expectation.

It wasn't until Yuan Xuan took the contract to his side, read it by his side, told him the letter written by Director Kaidao, and asked him his opinion, that he really understood that Yuan Xuan had completely broken away from the contract. His control.

She has become a very remarkable being who can accomplish many things even by herself.

The current Yuan Xuan is stronger than he knows.

It wasn't until this moment that Shibusawa Ryuhiko really realized that he really couldn't control her completely like before.

Shibusawa Ryuhiko lowered his head halfway, which made it difficult for others to see the expression on his face. Editor-in-Chief Kurata saw Yuanxuan's appearance when he signed the contract, and then looked at Shibusawa Ryuhiko next to her.

He felt a strange vibe in the air.

As if to ease the atmosphere, the editor-in-chief Kurata asked Yuan Xuan, "Why did Teacher Yuan suddenly change his mind?"
