Chapter 49 Behind-the-scenes interview: "Only by facing yourself can you reverse your destiny"

Q: Long time no see Dao Da! A: Well, long time no see. Q: It took a long time for the killer this time, is it because of the preparation for the next movie? A: You can put it that way.In the past year, I have written the script of the next movie that I want to be the director, and I also wrote a very mysterious script outline. I learned to be the producer of a documentary film, and I also made a film worth more than 4 million... It should be Taiwan. The most expensive leading film in movie history, it will be announced in the near future.But last year, the most important thing was to take a good rest for a while. After all, the tiredness of promoting movies all the time hurt my vitality.Fortunately, writing fiction slowly has brought me back to my favorite rhythm of life.

Q: So will you shift your focus to the world of movies? Answer: No. No matter how happy it is to make a movie, the process is very difficult, and because it is really too difficult, the sense of accomplishment once the movie is completed is indeed greater than the completion of the novel.Writing novels is a joy, a joy to be in, and one of my favorite things, second only to sex.As soon as I finish my next feature film, I can give up being a film director anytime.But I will keep writing novels until I die. I hope my epitaph reads: "Nine Knives, a novelist who occasionally makes movies", probably it feels like this.

Q: What was that movie about? A: It is my dream, so I want to make "everyone's dream" for the next movie. "Everyone's Dream" is of course also an adaptation of my novel. As for which novel it is, I will keep it secret for the time being.Maybe when everyone bought this book, I had already made it a secret with the announcement of the leading video, but now, um, keep it secret for the time being hahaha.The only thing that can be disclosed is that, for convenience, the crew needs a movie code name for internal operations, and I will temporarily call it the "Normandy Project".

Q: Will it still be an adaptation of a romance novel? A: It is being adapted, and filming will begin this year.I am the producer, not the director. The director is a very gentle and good friend. I believe he has the ability to capture the warmth of longing.But this is not the Normandy plan. Q: Would that be the killer? A: "Killer, Priceless Fortune" is being adapted into a film, and this "Killer, Fate of the Light" is also in the scripting stage, and will start filming this year.But I'm not even going to be a director myself, I know there are better directors than me who are more suitable for that director's chair.However, I will also participate in the film adaptation of these two killer stories as a producer. I hope that my actual participation will make the film better and I can learn more about the details of film production.But neither of these killer movies is Project Normandy.

Q: I understand. A: So the fuck you can finally ask some questions about the novel? Q: Okay, let's talk about the killer this time.Huoyu, it seems that he is also a very mentally abnormal guy? Answer: Well, I really like to write some characters who are out of control. After all, a profession that takes other people’s lives for a living is itself an extreme state. People who can engage in this profession for a long time are more or less abnormal... um , just like the writer hahaha. Mr. NeverDie is a typical mental runaway, and Huo Yu, in order not to face his own tragic fate, had to distort his personality to the point that he could not even identify with his own appearance, but because of this, he finally lost control of his mind.

However, I started writing the story of Mr. NeverDie from when he was still an ordinary man, telling the process of his slowly changing state of mind, and finally stepping into the realm of madness.As for Huoyu, he has completely lost his memory from the beginning of the story, so I used a lot of inner words to let readers know more clearly the chaos in Huoyu's heart. Q: What about the cat fetus?Isn't he also a psychopathic killer? A: Oh no, we discussed this, the fucking cat fetus is a serial killer, not a killer. The killer's world pays attention to a very strict spiritual value relationship, using three major principles and three professional ethics to express the ethical sense of this special job, so the killer has a unique temperament, no matter how crazy, he has the ultimate self The bottom line of restraint, an awareness that professionalism must be placed above personal characteristics.

The cat fetus has only his own desires and no professionalism. He is a murderer, not a killer.At the beginning, I spent a lot of time writing cat fetuses, just to draw this line in this killer world for readers to compare. As for Huoyu, when he was a gang killer in Thailand, he did not receive Cicada Castle, which is another line I pulled out.This line is used as a distinction, and you can think about why. Question: In the story of Huoyu, he encountered many killers, why did he design it like this? Answer: I really like the comics of the JOJO Adventure Yelang series. There is a sentence in it: "The substitute messenger will attract the substitute messenger." This concept is very attractive. I think there should be a special magnetism among killers that connects each other. Bar.But that's only one of the reasons.

I have always liked interspersing different characters across stories and even series. This has become a major feature of my work, and I miss the characters I wrote before, such as Iron Nugget.To be honest, I don't think of them as completely fictional characters. They all accompany me and have seen the scenery in different stages of life.I hope my readers don't forget them either. I'm willing to admit my promiscuity. Q: So Iron Nugget is a North Korean defector? Answer: Yes.This also explains his silence and aggressiveness. Q: So G is still the strongest? Answer: That's right.At least for now.I really like the unrestrained and uninhibited way I write G. For me, being strong is not being domineering, but being indifferent to the world.In the forest, only the wild boar will challenge the tiger, saying that he wants to be the king of the forest, but he will not see the tiger go out to challenge the wild boar to emphasize that he is the king of the forest.

Q: So what exactly is Gunslinger Mystery? Answer: Sorry, only those who have enlightened can know the answer to the mystery of the gun god. Q: Speaking of the gang fight in the Police Department, you wrote about it in "Killer, Priceless Luck". This time, you wrote the same scene from the perspective of another killer, more than a year ago Have you figured it out yet?Why are you so silly? Answer: On the contrary, it is super stalking.At that time, I made some settings for myself to use one or two years later. Question: How long is the stalk shop?How do you remember? Answer: Stuffing is a very interesting thing. It is not difficult to remember what stalks are planted, but it is more challenging to decipher the stalks.

There are also some clues buried in the Huoyu story this time, waiting for me to unravel slowly in the future. It's kind of like... I'm proving that the me I am now can match what was expected of me a year or many years ago, and the me now expects that the me a year or many years from now will match what's being buried right now My expectation, that is, the future will always be a little bit more powerful than the past. Question: It seems like a tongue twister, but I can’t understand it! Answer: If you have a low IQ, read it a few more times, and you will understand after a few more times. Come on!

Q: So who is the tall and thin killer next to Huoyu? Answer: He is the legendary Evernight Orange. Q: Legend?Is the Evernight Orange a legendary level?In the "Old Tea Mission" of the Police Department, Huoyu teamed up with Evergreen, but lost to the teamwork of A Le, Yanzi and the unknown old killer. Doesn't it mean that Huoyu and Everorange are inferior? A: For me, in the world of killers, tasks are never the most important thing. It is just a career, a job, not the whole of life.Completing the mission is great, but it’s okay to fail the mission. G feels very resigned to whether the mission fails or not. Instead, he cares more about his own constraints or style. Another example is Ale. He actually lost the mission outside the Police Headquarters, but he doesn't care, because what he hopes most in his life is not to become a top expert, but to have a beautiful love.Wouldn't it be better for Ah Le to fulfill his expectation of love through the failure of the "Old Tea Mission"? And Huoyu simply wanted to use the "Old Tea Mission" to destroy his own life, and the old tea was one of the evidences of his memory, and it was also included in the list of must be destroyed together. To a certain extent, Huoyu managed it, alas. , he is really a very poor man. As for Buyecheng, well, let's leave the story of Buyecheng to his story. In short, the most brilliant moment of the killer's life belongs to himself, not to the task.Worldly successes and failures are not suitable for these peculiar roles.I hope one day I can have this kind of thinking too. Q: Ah Le and Huoyu seem to be a duel of fate? Answer: Probably.In the "Old Tea Mission", Ale has raised his luck to the extreme, while Huoyu is at the critical point of reincarnation. Excellent luck compares with fierce fate, so to speak. Q: Why did you use the first-person point of view to write this time? Answer: Because Huoyu is a duplicity person. He superficially despises the world, but he is actually a very gentle person. His beloved things are always hurt, so he has to pretend to despise the world. Only in this way can he avoid his own pain. Huoyu has a lot of annoying broken mouths, which are all proofs of his extreme awkwardness. I think the first-person writing method allows readers to directly hear a lot of Huoyu's inner thoughts, and more directly feel that Huoyu is desperately trying to express himself even in the language in his heart. The helplessness of alienation. For example, on the night when Tiaotiao died, Huoyu stayed in the hotel room and refused to leave. He presumed that he wanted to watch TV programs, but actually wanted to accompany Tiaotiao, but he said that the room was very hot so he left He took off his coat and threw it on the ground. In fact, he couldn't bear to see Tiao Tiao's dead body on the ground. Huo Yu's coat was covering Tiao Tiao's dead body impartially. I think black and white were not such awkward people back then, and black and white knew love and pain, but in Huoyu's life, alas, a person who has accumulated too much damage in memory is really hard to please—even himself It's hard to please yourself.Of course, I don't want to admit that I am in pain. Q: But a question arose in the middle, that is, what kind of record does this novel come from?Is it the letter that Huoyu wrote to himself, or the recording?Or is it the result of hypnosis?Because Huoyu seems to have no chance or willingness to leave any records. Answer: You can regard it as a pure novel form, or as the history of the inner world of Huoyu. This part can be temporarily regarded as a character monologue that I irresponsibly established without the possibility of recording.But the real answer to this question, I will leave it to the movie version to tell you.I think it's very interesting. Question: Huoyu is indeed a very poor person. What do you want to express through Huoyu's story? A: Most of the things I want to express are finished through the mouth of blues jazz. Question: Based on the reader's IQ problem, I think you still need to explain it in a more superficial way! A: It is a warm reminder.I think this is really the case, "personality determines destiny", when you feel that everything is not going well, change your name, it is better to change your personality.Only by facing up to one's own shortcomings and working hard to fight against them can you have a chance to reverse your destiny in the future.It's useless to talk loudly and love to complain. In the end, you will have to bear all the karma. Q: Does Huoyu really have the talent to become a rock singer? A: I don't know either.But I'm sure, if Huoyu just keeps his dream in his heart, then the dream is just a kind of negative growth that constantly weakens his own strength. If he doesn't do it, he can't know the answer. There are many reasons for not doing it, each of which sounds reasonable, but when added together, only the word cowardice can replace it.I have seen too many people who keep finding reasons to avoid fighting, and those people are not even qualified to lose. Q: Are you not afraid of failure? A: I am terribly afraid of failure, but not so scared as to run away. Question: Did the fire fish die in the end? Answer: Well... With your IQ, how should I answer this question?Yes, the fire fish is dead and gone.But his story didn't end there.The killer's cycle continues. Question: Many of the employers this time are women, and they are all psychopathic women who trample on men as much as possible.Do you have any dissatisfaction or prejudice against women?Want to take the opportunity to vent something? Answer: No, and I dare not.I'm surrounded by women who have treated me well.Fiction has its own kingdom. Q: What happened to that crazy woman named Elena? Answer: It’s right that it will appear again in the future. After all, I have always had a special interest in writing lunatics. Let’s wait and see.Oh, by the way, I miss Xiaoxian very much too. Originally, I wanted to set Xiaoxian to appear and have a horrible short-term relationship with Huoyu, but I think Huoyu is miserable enough, I really can't bear to let Xiaoxian go Entangle fire fish. Q: Please don't. Answer: OK. Question: This time you wrote about a writer without talent, what's the point?Do you want to despise someone in particular? Answer: I don’t dare to despise anyone hahaha, so I went around in the end and asked the writer to insinuate myself a little bit, to satisfy the eager needs of the villagers who want to boo me every day.In fact, the world of creation is really interesting hahaha, when it comes to humorous writing, writing myself as a bastard is also a trick that makes me indulge myself. Question: In your story this time, you wrote about Typhoon Taili again. Answer: Yes, Typhoon Taili connected many stories of killers, so it is still necessary to write this time. Q: Are you not tired of writing that windy and rainy scene? A: Instead, I recommend everyone to read "Killer, Everything Has Its Price", "Killer, Money Can't Buy Good Luck", "Killer, A Sleepless Crime", "Killer, Incomparable Freedom" "In "How do I describe the same typhoon raging, every time I write in a different way, hoping to figure out a more interesting description.Sometimes writing becomes more and more interesting because it bothers me with weird questions. Q: Will there be more ink in Can't Toka? A: Of course, with such an ideal season of lawlessness, a lot of weird things are bound to happen. Q: Finally, is there anything you want to tell readers? A: Thank you for always tolerating my waywardness. Whether it is true tolerance or pretended tolerance, I am very grateful to everyone.I will continue to do my best.
