Yu Dong and the others sat around and chatted with the students all afternoon. In the evening, Quentin suggested going for a drink.
Chen Weiwen suggested going to the small house he rented in Nancheng to have a drink, but it felt a bit far to the east, and there were a lot of people here, and the house he rented might not be able to accommodate them, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."
"
There was no ostentation, so I found a fly restaurant nearby. Students often go there and the reviews are good.
This restaurant is a mom-and-pop restaurant with a small storefront. There are only five long tables set up. They went there early and before it was time for the main meal. When the boss saw so many people, he simply put the five long tables together.
Prepare to serve this table tonight.
When they talked about what kind of wine they wanted to drink, Yu Dong originally wanted to buy some Jiannanchun, but Quentin heard about Erguotou from somewhere and insisted on drinking Erguotou once.
“If you haven’t been to the Great Wall, you’re not a true man. If you don’t drink Erguotou, you haven’t drank baijiu.”
In Quentin’s opinion, Erguotou is the authentic liquor.
If you want to drink Erguotou, you don’t need to buy it. The boss has it prepared in the store, so you can just take it from the store.
After everyone sat down, Yu Dong counted and found that there were twenty-five people in total including him, and there were twenty-two people holding cups to drink.
There were so many people drinking, and the atmosphere was very lively. Even Mo Yan, who rarely drank because of stomach problems, was very drunk today. When Huang Lei was holding a bottle to pour wine, he was already asking for wine with a cup.
After all twenty-two wine glasses were filled with wine, Quentin couldn't help but drink.
Luo Yi reminded, "Quentin, you can't drink Chinese liquor like this. If you want to order it with food, you will drink too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boss came over with a plate of peanuts.
"Is this what goes with the wine?"
Quentin took the spoon to scoop up the peanuts, but Yu Dong smiled and said, "Quentin, wait, there is a rule for us to drink tonight."
"What rules?" everyone asked.
"Let's play a story solitaire game. I'll tell the beginning of the story first, and the next person has to continue my story. If he doesn't tell it, he has to drink half a cup of wine. Of course, you can't talk nonsense. After you finish telling it,
, everyone votes, and only if you get more than half of the votes, you will be considered successful. If you get less than half of the votes, you have to drink a glass of wine."
Mo Yan smiled and said, "That's good. Surrender and lose half the battle."
The hotel uses a small porcelain wine cup, which only costs six liang of wine when filled. And it is impossible to fill everyone's glasses very full, so a cup only costs about half a liang of wine.
Everyone thought this proposal was quite interesting. Yu Hua asked, "What if no one can continue the story later?"
"Then start over and continue. In addition, each person's story should not be too long. Just set it to one and a half minutes. You must finish your story within one and a half minutes, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure.
"
"Teacher Yu Dong, can I write down the story?" A girl who didn't drink raised her hand and said.
Yu Dong nodded, "Of course."
"Okay, I'll be responsible for taking notes." The girl took out a pen and paper from her bag and got ready to take notes.
Yu Dong continued, "Let me start with the beginning. The beginning of the story is like this. There is a couple. The boy is a college student and the girl is a salesperson in a department store. One day, the girl was on vacation and asked the boy to go to the cinema to watch a movie.
, but the boy stayed at the entrance of the cinema until half an hour before the movie started and did not wait for the girl. He was very annoyed and decided to go to the girl's residence to find the girl and ask what was going on."
Having said this, Yu Dong stopped.
"Teacher Yu Dong, what's behind?" Luo Yi asked.
Yu Dong smiled and looked at Quentin next to him, "I'll ask Quentin later."
Everyone stared at Quentin again, wanting to see how he would continue writing this story, but surprisingly, Quentin did not continue writing, but drank half a cup of wine directly, "I choose to drink."
The students were stunned. This game seemed not difficult for Quentin...
In fact, this game has nothing to do with drinking capacity. Some people will choose to continue playing even if they have a good drinking capacity, because this game seems to be just for fun, but it is actually a competition.
The people here include writers, directors, directing students, acting students who want to be directors... This game is still very attractive to them, and most of them want to show off their ability to write stories.
It's just that Quentin is a thick-skinned guy and doesn't take the usual path.
After Quentin, it’s Mo Yan.
Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "The boy went to the girl's house, but no one responded after knocking on the door for a long time. Just when he thought no one was ready to leave, the door opened."
At this point, Mo Yan also stopped.
Yu Hua smiled and said, "Does this count?"
"Why doesn't this count?"
Yu Dong said, "Whether it counts or not, let's see everyone vote. Those who think they can pass the test will raise their hands."
The voting results came out quickly. Except for Mo Yan himself and Yu Hua, the other twenty-three people raised their hands.
Yu Hua was obviously dissatisfied with the result. He said to the students, "You are giving him too much face."
Bi Feiyu helped Mo Yan and said, "Actually, this continuation is quite good. At least it makes people want to continue reading. I think it is a success if it can do this."
"Next, Huang Lei, you come."
Huang Lei nodded and said, "The girl's hair was disheveled and her face was covered with blood. At first, the boy thought that the person who opened the door was his partner, but then he saw that it was his colleague. He asked the target's colleague what happened, but the colleague didn't
He answered, holding his head and ran away, and then the boy walked into the house and saw the subject lying in a pool of blood."
"Vote."
This time Huang Lei got sixteen votes and passed the test.
Next, Chen Weiwen.
"The boy found that there was a fruit knife next to the target, which was covered with blood. Then he turned around and chased the colleague who had just run away because he thought the murderer was his colleague. However, the colleague had already run away, and the boy chased him for a while.
If we didn’t catch anyone, we called the police.”
This time, Chen Weiwen only received seven votes, failed to continue writing, and drank a glass of wine.
After drinking, Chen Weiwen asked unwillingly, "Why not?"
Quentin drank a cup of wine, threw a few more peanuts into his mouth, and then smiled and said to Chen Weiwen: "There are some fatal problems in your story. How did the boy judge that he had just looked at it?"
My girlfriend is dead? If the boy is a very calm person, he should first see if his girlfriend is dead. If not, he should be sent to the hospital quickly instead of chasing the murderer."
"If a boy is a person who panics easily, then when he sees his girlfriend lying in a pool of blood, he may lose his mind and even hold his head and shout. It is also possible that he doesn't care whether his girlfriend is dead or not and rushes to send her away.
My friend went to the hospital."
Yu Dong did not comment, just said, "Since it failed, this will be invalidated, and the next person will continue what Huang Lei said."
The next one was Li Hong, she said: "The boy is a medical student. When he saw his girlfriend lying in a pool of blood, he quickly went up to judge the injury of his girlfriend. He found that his girlfriend was still alive, and he was busy doing some things to stop the bleeding of his girlfriend.
He then ran outside to ask someone to help call the police, while he stayed by his girlfriend’s side.”
This time the story received fourteen votes, which is considered a pass.
Yu Dong nodded: "It's good to give the boy more identity. I think the reason why some people didn't vote is because you made the story too simple and didn't release the suspense."
The next one was Luo Yi. He seemed to have been preparing for a long time. When it was his turn, he couldn't wait to speak, "After I went to the hospital, my girlfriend gained some consciousness and said, 'She wants to kill me.' But when the boy asked her who
When he was about to kill her, she fell into a coma again. After the police arrived, the boy provided the police with the information he knew, and the police quickly went to arrest his girlfriend's colleagues. However, the colleagues insisted that he was at the scene
By then, the girl had fallen into a pool of blood. She was too panicked, so when the boy knocked on the door, she did not respond. Later, she was afraid that the boy would think she was the murderer, so she ran away without saying anything."
Luo Yi got a lot of votes this time, with a total of eighteen votes, and he passed the test.
At this time, Quentin complained, "Why do you continue to write the story from one perspective? Why can't you change the perspective? For example, Luo Yi, you could just start from the perspective of the colleague who escaped, or develop another story line.
Moreover, it seems that you are not prepared to explain the background information of the characters. For example, this girlfriend is a salesperson in a shopping mall, so what exactly does she sell? Does she have any family members?"
After being inspired by Quentin, later people also began to write more full stories with more heart.
But the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to write the story, and the higher the probability of failure.
Later, a rough story was completed. In fact, the murderer was a colleague. She had an argument with the girl and accidentally stabbed the girl to death.
Everyone was not satisfied with the first story, but it didn't matter because it was just the first story and they were not fully prepared.
In the second story, they have to perform better.
The second story is a suspense story. Seven people went mountaineering, including a couple. They were planning to climb the mountain, but it suddenly snowed heavily that day. However, except for the girl in the couple who stayed at the base camp, the others still insisted on climbing.
The girl waited in the camp for the seventh day. Five of the six people who went to climb came back, but her boyfriend did not come back. Those five people told the girl that her boyfriend had died, and today was her boyfriend's first seven days.
They believed that the girl's boyfriend would definitely come back to look for the girl on the first seven days, so they made a ceremony in the evening, with five people sitting in a circle and the girl sitting in the middle.
But at this moment, the girl's boyfriend ran into the camp with his face covered in blood and told the girl that the other five people were dead and only one person had returned.
This story was also started by Yu Dong, but what he didn't expect was that the students would come up with such an ending, which was basically the same as a ghost story he saw.
And Yu Dong also named this story "Who Should She Believe".
After two stories, Bi Feiyu proposed that even if the previous person's continuation passed the test, the next person could choose not to continue the story of the previous person, but could choose to continue the story of any previous person.
Write.
In this way, it is possible to tell many stories from one beginning.
For example, there is a story that begins with "A man lost his memory." Some people continued it into a suspense story. The man lost his memory and met someone who claimed to be his friend, but was actually the murderer who caused his amnesia...
…
Some people will continue to write it into a love story. For example, the story written by some classmates represented by Li Hong and Huang Lei is about a man who lost his memory, and then met a girl, and they fell in love, but later they found out that the man actually lost his memory.
It's a certain rich man...
When he heard that Li Hong and the others were continuing the story, Yu Dong couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Although this story was a bit bloody, it was quite commercial and at least more interesting than some of the current romance TV series.
…
The more we played this game, the more excited we became. The drinking session lasted from five or six o'clock in the evening to two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. There were many stories told and no less wine drank.
The one who drank the most was Quentin. He didn't tell a single story. Every time he came to him, he just drank one drink.
By the end of the drink, he was a little drunk, and he hugged Luo Yi and shouted: "Story is king!"
The students also got a little excited and shouted: "Story is king!"
Later, when they left the hotel, the students walked back to school arm in arm, still shouting: "Story is king!"
Huang Lei didn't drink too much, but he was still a little drunk. He followed the junior students and saw how excited they were. He felt very emotional. Maybe this meal tonight would be engraved in their lives.
, becoming an indelible mark.
When chatting at school in the afternoon, Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu kept saying that they were not good at teaching screenwriting classes, but it turned out that this meal was probably more effective than ten screenwriting classes.
Perhaps tonight's fun game was Yu Dong's intention, and he just wanted to help people like him open their minds.
Of course, regardless of whether Yu Dong intended it or not, the final result was that they did open up their minds.
Within a few hours, Huang Lei felt that many students' ability to write stories had improved tremendously. Not only were the stories complete and exciting, but their narrative angles and techniques were also inspired by several writers and Quentin.
It starts to become diverse.
Perhaps this is the charm of the masters. Without saying too much, just a little guidance can make people enlightened.
Huang Lei looked up at the night sky and sighed: "Jin Yi is really lucky to have such great teachers as Yu Dong and others."
Chen Weiwen, who was standing next to him, saw Huang Lei looking up at the sky, and said with a drunken smile: "Brother, what are you looking at the sky for? Hey, why is the sky spinning? It makes me feel dizzy. I'm so, vomit-"
Huang Lei felt something was wrong when he heard Chen Weiwen talking, and was about to push him away, but it was too late, Chen Weiwen had already vomited on him.
"Chen Weiwen! I'm going to kill you!"
Chapter completed!
