【273】Observation genius

"No one stipulates how to write martial arts. This is a direction I have tried, but it is not suitable for me. You are most likely not interested, just take a look."

Changing the writing style is not an easy task, and for literati of Shang Gongyu at the level, they rarely seek major changes in this regard. Shang Gongyu's current troubling pursuit of change obviously has no idea in this regard. He has his own writing style and does not think that he will be much worse than Zhang Muzhi in this regard.

"I usually think of many messy things, such as the continued development of martial arts. Martial arts such as "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" and "Toad Achievement", revenge, jumping off a cliff, and adventures, no longer can make everyone feel novel, or get used to it... There will always be that day, what will martial arts rely on to attract readers at that time?"

Shang Gongyu frowned slightly, pondered silently, and said with a smile, "In the 1950s, there was a swordsman called "Legend of Sword Immortal". I wonder if you have read it?"

Shang Gongyu nodded, Zhang Yang continued, "Sometimes I think, if a person practices martial arts to the peak, what should he look like in the world of martial arts? Or, is there a peak?"

Shang Gongyu said, "The level of martial arts can be reflected through comparison."

Zhang Yang said, "Yes, but as everyone reads too much, they will always compare the characters written by different works and different writers with the world... Moreover, the power of martial arts will always leave many things to refer to in reality... After everyone writes, they will read enough, and there will always be people who are not satisfied with this situation."

He made a thoughtful look, "Can martial arts learn from the elements of fairy tales... or even integrate to a certain extent... There is no need to confine one's imagination because of a name or definition... Even science fiction elements can be borrowed from, and there is nothing that must be incompatible with water and fire."

"Science fiction?"

Shang Gongyu raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised. He had read "The Three-Body Problem". To be honest, even though he had known about Zhang Yang's writing style in advance, he still felt that it was like another person's work when he read it. The styles were too different, but this kind of thing was not easy to talk to others.

Knowing that he had just seen the clips of "You are here" and "I am here" written by Zhang Yang, he finally realized that there was such a genius in this world.

"Yes, but science fiction mostly describes reality and the future, while the background of martial arts is mostly in ancient times, so there are not many things to learn from each other... Well, I am conceiving a work, but I am still unable to make up my mind. I just happened to tell you and give me some advice."

Zhang Yang showed some uneasiness of "My idea is a bit unreliable". Shang Gongyu looked at him unexpectedly and smiled, "Are you afraid that I will borrow your creativity?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Even if you want to borrow it, it's still the next book. Besides, it's just an immature idea. If you participate, you may be able to develop it into a genre. I'm not too happy."

He paused and said, "Do you see the time-traveling setting in science fiction?"

Shang Gongyu nodded, as if he had thought of something, his expression was a little surprised and Zhang Yang smiled and asked again, "Which do you think modern fighting, or special forces, is more powerful than ancient martial arts?"

Shang Gongyu smiled and said, "It depends on the setting. If you follow the original martial arts setting, martial arts masters may not be able to compare with special forces, but if you follow your current setting, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, the Nine Yin Scriptures, the One Yang Finger, etc., unless the special forces carry planes and cannons."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course the setting must serve the plot. My idea is, if a modern person, for some reason, returns to the ancient times... what is this idea?"

Shang Gongyu's eyes lit up and he quickly thought of various plots that could be played. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Back to ancient times, there were many things that could be done, and many plots that could make everyone enjoyable to watch. However, in martial arts, we must naturally maintain the style of martial arts... I want to write about family, country, world, Spring and Autumn, Warring States Period, Chu and Han, the battle for hegemony, the three kingdoms, and the southward transition of Yongjia... These are all good places to travel through time. In fact, some of the contents I wrote also have factors in this regard."

Shang Gongyu nodded, Guo Jing and Genghis Khan, Yang Guo killed Meng Ge, Zhang Wuji saved Chang Yuchun, and made friends with Zhu Yuanzhang... These plots are indeed somewhat similar, but if modern people travel back in time, their perspectives will be different, and their feelings will be greatly different... It's just that martial arts is really difficult to deal with.

Zhang Yang guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Martial arts are adult fairy tales. The power of martial arts has been artistically processed. Since this is the case, of course, the closer it is to modern times, the weaker its power is. It is lost. The court banned martial arts. This can be the reason... Moreover, invasion of foreign races and wars in troubled times will also cause the inheritance of martial arts... So in ancient times, it was discovered that martial arts had not yet declined at this time, which is also an explanationable thing."

Shang Gongyu smiled and said, "The court prohibits martial arts, but it is not prohibited to practice martial arts, right?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "That doesn't matter, no one cares about this... Of course, we don't need to say this. If there are too many people watching, there will naturally be people explaining the reason."

Shang Gongyu pointed at him with his hand, shook his head and smiled, paused, and asked again, "Are you going to write... back to ancient times?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This is called time travel... Whether it is back to ancient times or back to a parallel world that you don't want to do at all, it's just an idea... If you are interested, just write it, don't worry about me."

Shang Gongyu nodded and asked, "What is the end of martial arts you think of? Or what kind of immortal hero elements are borrowed from?"

"It's not just the fairy tale, but also the myths, such as the treasure, the skill, the sword, and the sword, which were left by Huangdi, and were stained with Chi You's blood and evil spirit... This is all OK."

Zhang Yang said in a joke tone, "It's the peak of martial arts... How do you think of breaking the void and ascending to heaven?"

"puff!"

Shang Gongyu had just taken a sip of tea and sprayed it all out. He was still coughing when he choked. He stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "Feisheng?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I just think about it irresponsiblely. If you think of how to write it, you can use it first, I don't mind."

Shang Gongyu said angrily, "I'm afraid of being scolded!"

"As long as the compilation is written...there is a reasonable writing, who will scold me? I knew it was fiction. Since this is the case, of course, no matter how everyone likes it, we will write it. For example, ascend to the heaven to pursue Chang'e, return to the Warring States Period to help Ying Yiren return to Qin and ascend the throne, and even become Ying Zheng's father, return to the Three Kingdoms to kill Cao Cao, return to the end of the Sui Dynasty to kill Li Shimin, and return to the Yuan Dynasty... Well, in short, he dares to think."

Shang Gongyu finally got angry and shook his head and sighed, "It turns out that he is a young man... he has an idea."

"Are you interested?"

"No!"

"Then do you look like you agree?"

"We have to do it step by step, we can't be anxious."

"That's right."

Although the content of the conversation was somewhat different from what Shang Gongyu expected, after nearly two hours of chatting, he was always very happy and felt very rewarding. He felt a sense of being inspired and enlightened. He had to admire the imagination of his gaze, which was indeed far beyond his ability.

Before leaving, Shang Gongyu did not hide his emotions, and expressed his admiration for the juniors of this age and qualifications. Zhang Yang was naturally humble, saying that I was just whimsical and could not bear it.

On the way home from the teahouse, Zhang Hongkang discovered that there was a reporter following him again. Zhang Yang felt helpless, but he could only ignore it. Anyway, he couldn't take any meaningful things to follow.

Since he was going to join the crew to film during the holidays, Zhang Yang was worried that it would affect the recording of the new album. During this period, he was interested in spending more time on this. The lyrics adaptation of "The Terraced Fields" has been basically completed. In addition, four songs, "The Garden Tour", "Qi Lixiang", "Her Eyelashes" and "You Can Listen".

He originally thought that in the next month, except for preparing for the exam, he would spend the rest of his time recording songs, but the next day, Li Changge brought him new things.

Training!

Both directors were very enthusiastic. Although they did not reach a complete agreement on martial arts performance, after discussion, they fully realized that many action scenes were not successful. They were difficult for actors to express without their skills. Therefore, they decided to imitate the practice of filming the Three Kingdoms and the Stone Records, and first held a training class for targeted training.

Of course, there is no need to worry about this matter, but he also needs training. Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and Lin Yiran also has solid dance skills, which is much better than other actors. However, targeted training is also required, which also includes horse riding training.

Lin Yiran can ride horses. After all, her family is rich, and she can play and practice as long as she is interested in things. Zhang Yang knows nothing about it. However, everything has two sides. With this banner, so when she reviews and prepares for the exam, the two of them ran to the nearby equestrian club in a guise of work training.

After the decision, just four days later, on June 10th, the training class for all actors with martial arts began. Except for some actors who were temporarily absent due to schedule, most of them were in place "on time", including Shangguan Qiyu.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran returned to Qingcheng together. She returned to her home, but he spent the most time on the way. After returning to Beijing, Lin Yiran suddenly told him something in the car back home from the airport.

"Yu Ting said she wants to move to where you live now."

"ah?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a long time and looked at her expression, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Lin Yiran blinked in confusion, then seemed to understand what he meant. He glared at him and pinched him, "What are you thinking? You are moving to that community! Do you still want her to live in your place?"

"I was scared to death, I thought you were so generous."

Zhang Yang quickly grabbed her hand so that it would not hurt. "Who told you not to explain clearly, what kind of nerves she suddenly became?"

"She said she wanted to see how geniuses live every day, but she was afraid that you would not be happy, so she asked me to ask for help first."

"What are you asking?"

"Ask you if you're disgusted."

"What is she going to do? Move here to observe me every day?"

"Oh, what are you thinking? At most, you have more chances to meet."

"Just as long as you have no objection."

"What do I have for you?"

Lin Yiran's surprised and puzzled expression was not like a fake. Zhang Yang curled his lips speechlessly, "Why don't I say... I don't need to cooperate, right?"

"No, she just wants to move here."

“Where to move?”

"It seems to be upstairs, it's the closest there."

"Fortunately, if you really live opposite, that's a bit...you seem to be quite active?"

"No, she..."

Lin Yiran's expression turned dim and his voice lowered, "She...didn't have much time..."

Zhang Yang nodded, was silent for a while, and asked again, "What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Yiran glanced at him and lowered his voice and said, "You are so awesome... She feels like this... I will no longer remember her anymore. I want to be like you, something that makes people remember. She writes well, but it is far from the level of being passed down from generation to generation, and other things..."

Zhang Yang was a little confused. Unexpectedly, Yang Yuting was thinking about such a thing. However, without her experience, it was really difficult to understand her sensitivity and fragile mentality. He thought for a while and said with a smile, "That's not simple. Wait until next time I... well, what good poems and lyrics are there? I'll give her a poem as she's writing it."

Lin Yiran looked at him with wide eyes, obviously never thought of playing like this. After a while, he asked, "Don't you mind?"

"I... I'm already a genius anyway, so that's not bad."

Lin Yiran said "bang", wrinkled his nose, and then bulged his cheeks and said, "Can Yuting agree? This is a fake."

Zhang Yang shrugged, "That's not something I can decide, I'll make a suggestion."

Lin Yiran leaned on his shoulder, thought for a while, then looked up and said, "I think Yuting wouldn't agree... Even if she wants to be remembered, she doesn't want this way, right?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything for a while, Zhang Yang thought she was thinking, but she didn't expect that it was still the case. She smiled and said, "You'll know if you ask her."

Lin Yiran nodded, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yang Yuting. Then he was about to put away his cell phone, but unexpectedly, he received a reply before the cell phone was collected.

Zhang Yang also came over and saw Yang Yuting reply, "Really?"

"Very good!"

Zhang Yang turned his head to look at Lin Yiran, and Lin Yiran rolled his eyes at him, "What he replied was what you agreed to."

"All right."

Lin Yiran told Yang Yuting what Zhang Yang had just made a suggestion, but Yang Yuting did not reject it, but expressed her gratitude unexpectedly, and finally said, "If there is really nothing we can do in the end, I have to do this."

Maybe I understand that observing geniuses cannot turn myself into geniuses, otherwise, aren’t the wives, daughters, and daughters of geniuses in history also geniuses?

Due to targeted training, "The Divine Condor" was not officially launched in Wuxi until July 10th. There was no so-called opening ceremony for burning incense and worshiping gods. Li Changge and others worshiped in the nearby Laojun Temple to ask for peace of mind.

Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran also officially joined the group on the 16th and began their first filming experience in their lives.
