Business War emotional drama "the time of you and me" (hereinafter referred to as "Qingcheng") is being broadcast in Zhejiang and Oriental Satellite TV. The Beijing News has an exclusive interview with Ding Mo, the original author of Qingcheng. When it comes to adaptation, Ding Mo believes that although the adaptation and filling of the play version is very large, the main line and human setting are still in line with the original work, and the adaptation also meets the requirements of the drama. "the novel has a lot of psychological and emotional descriptions, and TV dramas cannot be shown in great detail." so adaptation is definitely necessary. "

Ding Mo's work was created in early 2014, and it is also her first attempt at the type of business war, which is also good at dessert suspense. The creativity of this work comes from Ding Mo's experience working in an investment company after graduating from Peking University, as well as business war cases and materials. At that time, the investment manager told her that some soldiers who changed jobs to become investment managers would be particularly rare in the investment field if they had excellent professional knowledge, because their will would be very strong. "at that time, I also read books like Sun Tzu's Art of War and wondered what would happen if Sun Tzu's Art of War was applied to commercial war. So there is the setting of the hero and the story. "

different from previous commercial war works, Li Zhicheng, the hero in "Dingcheng", not only applies "36 tricks" in the art of war to commercial war, but also continues Ding Mo's sweet pet line of starting a business side by side. There are not too many twists and turns, but they continue to understand each other in the process of fighting side by side. In Ding Mo's view, such a love line is sweet and can better sublimate the career line. "the last wonderful part and foothold of this book is that the protagonists and heroines work together to revitalize national enterprises and achieve success in business. I think this can bring positive energy to the reader."

simple commercial war dramas are mostly uninteresting and tedious, and the emotional line of mutual understanding and support between Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian in the open and secret struggle in the original work undoubtedly adds a touch of light to this work.

but many book fans question that the film and television plot has made a great adaptation of the original novel. For example, in the book, Lin shallow and Li Zhicheng met on the train, but at the beginning of the TV series, they became acquaintances in a foreign country, and arranged a large number of gun battles and "Hero Saving Beauty". Ding Mo believes that the original does not mean copying the original work, but that the film and the screenwriter can respect what the novel wants to convey. Although the content of the play version of "Qingcheng" is changed and filled in a large amount, the main line and human setting are still consistent with the original work.

Beijing News: business war novels seem more difficult to write than romantic love stories. How to get close to reality?

Ding Mo: first of all, my novel must still be female, and there will be a considerable amount of space to write about emotional lines. In the process of writing, I do not pursue to write a very profound, very resourceful novel, I want to write an approachable work that is based on my real experience and can be close to reality. Many of the plots I wrote in "the City" are some of the cases and characters I have seen and experienced in my work, plus some thoughts on artistic adaptation. For example, the male leader is the second generation of private enterprises to revitalize enterprises, including the commercial war planned by each other between industries, the situation of foreign acquisitions faced by private enterprises, and so on, all of which are real in reality. Therefore, if you have really worked on the job and experienced corporate life, you will not be surprised to see the book "Qingcheng".

Beijing News: industry dramas often have too much idol temperament and are easy to be complained by audiences. What do you think of this phenomenon?

Ding Mo: I think the play with workplace and industry background, and its idol temperament, as an audience and original author, I do not reject it. Because of the modern urban temperament of idol drama and the love of characters, this also reflects the reality, and young people also like to watch it. When you get to the part of the emotional line, you will happily fall in love. But the business, the workplace part, or seriously to film, to write, closer to reality, these two points are not in conflict. If the business part is not done well and only romance is left, then the audience may not accept it.

Beijing News: there are many entrepreneurial themes on the screen these days. Which points do you think entrepreneurial themes should grasp to qualify?

Ding Mo: I can only talk about my own superficial views. Because I have not started a business, but I have several friends who are starting a business. I think entrepreneurial themes should be true first of all. For example, when the protagonist starts a business, it doesn't take long to meet relatives, or other people begin to realize their dreams with an investment, which we call "Open Goldfinger", which is not very realistic. Anyway, I don't like watching it myself. Secondly, to describe the protagonist's entrepreneurship, we should have some understanding and design of his market environment and the position of his start-up company in the industry. Third, in reality, many people starting a business is a very tiring, even boring process. Movies and TV dramas may need to make some more dramatic settings and changes, but they still have to grasp several key changes in their creation. for example, how he improved step by step, what difficulties he encountered, how to overcome them, and so on.
