Chapter 81 Middle-aged Zhou Muyun's Illusory Realm

What would it be like if Cao Xueqin boarded the "Hundreds of Lectures" and explained his creative experience?Whose lady is Lin Daiyu actually, whose personalities and fates Wang Xifeng gathered, what happened to Shi Xiangyun in reality, and who wrote the novel with her in Huangye Village, Xishan, was it Sheyue or Xiangyun... No, that's it Not interesting enough, it would be more interesting if he could use another novel to explain how he wrote it. Like all those wonderful works in history that use novels to explain how I write novels and movies to explain how I make films-I have always had a soft spot for this kind of work-it was the perfect time to steal.Ian McEwan's is actually a secret history of the writer's growth. Many of Stephen King's novels are just novel creation talks under the cover of horror stories. "Ruan Lingyu" presents how Guan Jinpeng builds the film structure. · Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" presents his desire for movies.Whether it is a play within a play, or blurring the boundary between reality and fantasy, it is necessary to put the creation process and the creation on the same booth. How the prototype came from, how the details were constructed, and how the world view was formed, all are vividly visible. In the gap between the material and the finalized work, the tricks of the narrative are nowhere to hide, and the process of pretense and polish is also revealed.No one who has secret skills is willing to travel at night in brocade clothes and bring secrets to maggots. He can always tell the dialectical relationship between Zigong and Sunflower Magic in a more tortuous way.

Of course, Cao Xueqin was unable to do this in time - the concept of novels at that time had not yet advanced to this point, but Wong Kar-wai did so with "2046". In "2046", many shadows of Wong Kar Wai's previous movies can be seen. "In the Mood for Love", "Fallen Angels", and even "Happy Together" are all revived in "2046". Is Wong Kar Wai tired?No, copying and imitating it over and over again makes the street lamp a bit older than last time, makes the girl lying on the bed seem familiar, makes men and women appear in the poses of He Baorong and Li Yaohui, and makes every sentence seem a little bit different. The antecedent is just because "2046" is a summary, an anatomy, a self-report, and a creation talk. Zhou Muyun's identity as a writer is to facilitate this kind of summary. His observations and analysis are all a creator's own. Dissection and demonstration: how everything he sees will be refined, sublimated, and disguised, what the love he has experienced looks like in his eyes, and how he will tell it.

That kind of narration is desolate, sad, but also naughty. Therefore, in reality, the hotel daughter and the stage girl who went to Nanyang will become robots on the train in the future.This kind of solemnity and humor reminds the narrator's existence and dark humor in his character. The reason why it can be associated with "2046" is because they have the same motivation for telling the story. The woman in life and the grand scene in memory are enshrined in the living temple for the lost soul survivors after middle age. Slowly chewing and reminiscing in Ye Village or a decadent hotel, gradually brewing an ode to women and the past. The women in the ode are sad, shrouded by fate, and can see the past and the future, but they are Beautiful and ageless, Cao Xueqin made them eternally bright fairy concubines, while Zhou Muyun made them eternal robots, and they were revisited again and again in their illusory world.From truth to fantasy, it is a consolation to them and a consolation to them.But in fact, they are old, they are at the end of the world, there are only infinite thoughts here, and they are left with melancholy. In the confusing and confusing narration, they reveal a little bit, and the reason for restraint and confusion is just because they refuse to admit that the importance of memories is the last. A little self-respect.
