Chapter 91: Time Besieges the City When Li Daohua came, she also had a big bag...
When Li Daohua came, he was also carrying a lot of bags. To be honest, I underestimated everyone's anger towards this character.
She has to disguise herself every time she goes out now because it was exposed in the newspaper that she is the screenwriter of this movie.
Well, writing heart-wrenching novels is bad enough, but making heart-wrenching movies is also necessary. People’s hearts are made of flesh, not stainless steel.
Some people even called on Li Daohua to go back to writing cool novels and stop writing these things because everyone's hearts can't take it.
Li Daohua was really planning to go back and write a cool novel. In fact, a cool novel is really easy to write.
When she wrote the sad story, she was also very angry. If she hadn't thought that after writing it, she could mobilize everyone's attention to the matter and make the bad guys get the punishment they deserve, she would not have been willing to write the sad story.
“You’ve worked hard.”
The villain principal's eyes were filled with tears. Li Daohua was the first person other than his family and neighbors he had met in the past month.
He is also a rare and fresh character.
"It's not hard, I serve the people." What else can I do? I have to accept the boast I made.
He is considered a veteran actor and has starred in many dramas, including playing villains, but none of them has received such a big reaction as this time.
His family members tried to comfort him. After all, he was famous all over the country.
Then he remembered that this movie would be broadcast free of charge throughout the country, not only in cities but also in rural areas.
Li Daohua told him that even if the popularity died down in the future, he should not go to remote places like mountainous areas or rural areas.
If you are not careful, you will easily be put in a sack, and when you are discovered, you will be a rigid people.
This is not an exaggeration. People in these areas are exposed to information later and more slowly, and some people are stubborn.
Moreover, they have also experienced a lot of hardships and can empathize with such things more.
The villain principal's face froze, and he remembered that he was beaten while watching a movie before. After he was beaten, he didn't dare to go to the hospital the next day, but just waited at home to recover.
This is because the beating was not serious. If it was serious, he might not be able to recover in a long time.
"Teacher Daohua, please be more restrained next time you write. This villain is too bad and scary."
Li Daohua looked at him disapprovingly: "I have only written about some of the bad guys' badness. Besides, if I don't write about the bad guys' badness, what if some people don't take them seriously?
More importantly, I only wrote three out of ten villains, and the remaining seven points are all due to your acting skills! Next time I want you to play a villain, I will look for you! Most people can’t compare to you. "
The villain principal's eyes turned black. Whoever wants to be the villain can be it. Anyway, he must play the good guy next time to let everyone know that he is really not a bad guy.
What he didn't expect was that a year later, after he had finally waited for the heat to die down and was able to go out and work normally, he begged the studio to give him a good supporting role.
As a result, when he went to see the movie, as soon as he appeared in the movie, people around him said that he was definitely a bad guy. Even though the movie emphasized many times that he was a good guy, no one believed it.
In the movie, he is hardworking, down-to-earth and a good guy. However, the audience said that he is pretentious, has a Bodhisattva face, but a heart of a vicious snake.
In the end, he sacrificed his own life to save others. The audience felt that something was wrong and that this bad guy must have faked his death to escape.
The movie is over, but some people are still waiting for a twist. What kind of people are they?
Some viewers also commented after reading the book, saying that his character was the biggest failure in the film's casting.
Originally, after more than a year, many people were going to slowly forget about him, but when he appeared in the movie, they remembered the fear of being dominated by the villain principal.
They say that was the peak of his acting skills, and what is the shit in the new movie? They say he is not cut out to play good guys, and even when he does he seems like the mastermind.
It wasn't until he played a villain again that people said that it was just right, his acting skills had returned, and then continued to hate and curse him.
To compensate him, Li Daohua's next novel is named "Time Siege".
For others, this novel is a kind of soft science fiction, mainly describing the humanistic features in the context of science fiction, but for Li Daohua, it is a documentary literature.
"Time Besieged" is about the government and ordinary people working together to fight the epidemic in 2019 when the new coronavirus was rampant, and ultimately achieving victory.
The beginning is that at first, people didn't take the virus in 2002 seriously, until 17 years later, in 2019, a more terrifying virus appeared.
As Ouyang Yuan was reading, he muttered, "What on earth is going to happen in 2019? Why do they keep writing about 2019?"
He remembered that "The Walking Dead" was also written in 2019. Is there anything special about this time?
Li Daohua smiled. It's a pity that you don't know that her time was really stolen in the three years from 2019 to 2022. The most impressive thing about those three years was watching the epidemic situation in various places, doing tests, and being quarantined at home...
The more he watched, the more Ouyang Yuan felt that this was a pure science fiction film. The horrific external environment formed a sharp contrast with the people's unity and struggle.
Before it happened, no one could believe that we could actually do it.
Ouyang Yuan also felt that the situation in the novel was the most ideal situation. There were only so many people in their company, and there were all kinds of trivial matters to deal with every day. The company had to take all kinds of situations into consideration when arranging shifts.
It has an extremely high infection rate, a high mortality rate, and even countless variants.
"That's because medical technology is so advanced in your novels. If it were in today's world, I'm afraid humans would have become extinct long ago." Ouyang Yuan sighed.
Li Daohua smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. When facing a new virus, everything starts from scratch. At least everyone starts from the same point. I believe in everyone."
She really believes in everyone. Whenever a country and its people come together, miracles will always happen.
If such a miracle can happen for the first time, it can happen a second time, a third time...
“Our country itself is a miracle.”
Ouyang Yuan said nothing, just read the novel. While reading, he put himself in the characters' shoes and tried to think about what he could do.
If it were just 2019, he would be in his sixties and it seemed like there was nothing he could do except stay home and not cause any trouble.
"That's great, too! That's amazing!"
"That's really amazing!" said the villain principal sincerely.
No one understands the pain of home isolation better than him. The prison has time for exercise, but he has none.
He also didn't expect that Li Daohua really meant what she said, which allowed her to find the angle and ideas to write a highly coherent novel.
It’s just like wrapping dumplings with vinegar, that’s all.
It's just that a novel like this probably can't be filmed in a short time. There are many big scenes in the novel, and such big scenes cost a lot of money.
There are very few outstanding science fiction films in China now. Science fiction films are relatively rare, and the film studios probably won’t make them.
Although the protagonist of the novel is Feng Jin, the various situations under the epidemic are shown through him.
Medical staff who insist on working until they faint in the hospital, truck drivers who insist on delivering supplies despite the risk of infection, and quarantined people who are anxious at home every day but insist on not causing any trouble...
Everyone wears masks, wears protective clothing during severe cases, and the state subsidizes medical care...
One thing after another, it is just like what would happen in a science fiction movie when humanistic care reaches its peak.
"Hello? Want some science fiction?"
Li Daohua called Ian. He had been asking for a novel before. The ready-made novel was still a science fiction film as usual.
"Yes, of course. It's been a while since you last wrote a science fiction novel. I thought you didn't care about the American market anymore."
In fact, Li Daohua did not think highly of the American market. After all, the domestic market is large enough, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a country can compete with the international market.
America is rich, but that money is not in the hands of ordinary people. How many good people are willing to spend money on her? It's only because she can earn money.
"'Time Siege'?" Looking at the title, Ian thought it was a science fiction novel about time.
After watching it, he felt it was more sci-fi than Ouyang Yuan and the others.
Ouyang Yuan and his friends think that science fiction is something they can achieve, but there is always the possibility that some bad elements will try to sabotage it, just like the people in novels who took money from foreign forces and maliciously spread the virus.
Even if there are not many such people, the damage caused by one of them can be very serious, because it is not impossible for one person to blockade a city.
Ian thought it was sci-fi. He felt that he definitely couldn't just stay at home. After a few dishes, he got drunk. He was a free man, so why couldn't he go out?
How much money does he make every minute? How dare we not let him make money? Moreover, the state compensates for medical care, and government officials set an example and rush to the front...
You haven't woken up yet, have your own private doctor? Who cares whether you live or die? Who will indulge your bad habits?
On the contrary, a villain country described in the novel seems to be more in line with the national conditions of America. Of course, he would not say it out loud.
After all, their great America has free medical care. Theoretically speaking, America is the excellent country in the novel, and other countries are all portrayed as villain countries.
If you put yourself in the shoes of an excellent country, this novel would be so cool. It is the best way to enhance a country's reputation and cultural soft power!
Another point is that this novel can actually be linked with "The Walking Dead". Both are in 2019. Isn't this more cost-effective than any publicity!
Promoting two novels at the same time with the cost of promoting one novel. Perfect!
Ian immediately started working on Li Daohua's latest novel, The Siege of Time, a sister volume to The Walking Dead.
If "The Walking Dead" is about the protagonist killing everyone, then "Time Siege" is about the struggle of the lower-class people to survive. There is no protagonist, but everyone is the protagonist.
Everyone can find himself in this book, even countries.
