If this play is shown to someone who has written a novel, it will resonate with the male protagonist, breathe in the same breath, and empathize with his inner struggle. Because how to link segments of abstract and void scenes, one by one characters that do not exist in life, without losing the logic of life, we must consider rhetoric and piling up words. In the play, RORY must also consider the market audience, which is bitter than written. People in the novel can imagine.
Although the college majored in writing-related majors and received subject training, one's imagination is limited. Remember to intensively train freshman year and submit a novel with no less than 10,000 words a week. That period is simply Not by humans. Once he "plagiarized" a story from an American juvenile book in the 1980s and turned it into a novelette, which was praised by the teacher. The anxiety was the same as the male protagonist's psychology after meeting OLD MAN.
After graduation, I didn't engage in a career related to writing, but after a few years of work, there was a period of crazy writing, not for fame or fortune, just to please myself, as if it would explode if I didn't write. Just like OLD MAN whose manuscript was plagiarized by RORY, hitting the typewriter like a demon, I hit the keyboard like a demon. It was winter, and over 200,000 words were written in just one month. The inspiration suddenly blown out, and no one can stop it. Of course, the process of writing is pure self-entertainment. I don't have the life trouble of a male protagonist. Even if I take it out of 10,000 steps, I will definitely encounter RORY's embarrassment, and I won't be greeted by any publishers. From an adult's point of view, that work is like RORY's first book known as "Angry Youth" by the publisher, full of the disillusionment of college students who have just entered society. The main story is a young girl entangled with three men, one man represents money, one man represents glory, and my heroine, likes the third man who is unknown and breaks the world. This unfinished story now looks ridiculous, it's just my wishful thinking about reality, my idealistic mental projection, and my lack of understanding of men.
The trivial and mediocre life, the occurrence of accidents, and the unhappiness caused by work are all sources of interference in writing. Forgetting one day, my writing and thinking stopped. Suddenly, that momentum disappeared. Like the young OLD MAN, the most talented manuscript was lost, and he could no longer write decent works. But that inner struggle and depression really cannot be experienced by outsiders.
During that period of time, I desperately calmed myself down, but every day from 8 to 5, mediocrity wasted the passion, the writing became dry and dry, the characters in the pen lacked vitality, in short, all the elements needed for creation disappeared, no one was forced, and more There is no press to call for manuscripts. Without motivation, there will be nothing.
After a lapse of more than ten years, it is not that there is no regret, but what about after writing? It's just a big joke I looked back today. Even if you go back and copy, you will never have the enthusiasm and imagination of the year, let alone write life so simple and superficially and take it for granted, so it is not difficult to understand that Cao Yu can write thunderstorms and sunrises in his 20s. Can write a Beijinger who doesn't hurt or itchy (of course the time factor is also important) So what is the meaning of writing?
In recent years, I have also written fanarts, like various sequels of A Dream of Red Mansions, which are pure self-comfort of loving the original and dissatisfied with the original, even with the nature of courtesy exchanges among netizens, not purely the release of emotions and literary thoughts.
Going back to the movie, the middle-aged CLAY (RORY) runs through the whole play. He tried to read and promote his current commercial work, a black humor. RORY "occupies" the achievements of OLD MAN and gradually feels at ease. Why? This world is too cruel. Cruel novel, RORY becomes CLAY.
