The original text is as follows:
Struggle and regret in the creation of happiness
Written in "when happiness comes to an end"
Happiness came to an end yesterday. Because I made an inappropriate promise during the broadcast, many netizens urged me to release the original script online, so I had to write this article to write what I felt and thought at this time.
"Happiness" is a work full of regrets for me, which many netizens may have guessed during the broadcast. Unfortunately, the reason is that the script has made a lot of adjustments, even principled adjustments, in the process of second creation. Now it doesn't make sense to decide which is better or worse, because the original script can't see the sun. I just want to explain how this situation is caused.
When Shidai Guangying came to me with the original novel of "Qiuju lawsuit", I refused at first. Later, I thought of my deep interest in the process of the rule of law, and decided to explore this theme from the perspective of writing about the modernization of rural grass-roots governance and the process of the rule of law radiating from rural areas to a broader social aspect, as well as the awakening of the awareness of the rule of law among ordinary people. I had an impulse to create this story. I quickly wrote an outline of 120000 words. It has been highly recognized by the producers.
He soon completed the script of 40 episodes, and his name was Qiu Ju. Everyone who sees it likes it very much. I also regard Qiu Ju's lawsuit as one of my best scripts, and I am full of earnest expectation for it.
This script is full of concern and observation for the society, and maintains the courage of impolite criticism and determination for the old things. In the script, the image of Qiu Ju is a woman who gradually learns to live for herself, rather than a woman who lives in line with the correct expectations. This also brings a big problem: every feather of it is full of sensitive words, and there are risks of censorship everywhere. This made the producers show fear of difficulties several times after taking over, fearing that the review would fail and that the huge investment could not be recovered. Thank them for not giving up because of difficulties. Thanks to Zhao Liying and many good actors for taking over this controversial work, which helped it attract more people to watch.
I changed it myself in this process. In my changes, Wan Shantang has changed from a village bully like Yu zuomin to a township entrepreneur who can change his mistakes and a good cadre with an old-fashioned style. Later, in order to complete the film and broadcast smoothly, the production team had to organize personnel to modify the script again and again until it took on today's appearance. It should be said that the production team has made great efforts for the publication and smooth broadcasting of this work, and all compromises have to be made for this reason. As a vested interest in the broadcast of the work, I can only be grateful for your efforts and express full understanding. All of us are dancing in shackles. Sometimes we dance better, sometimes our posture is a little ugly, but the important thing is that we are still dancing and don't eat and die in shackles. It is because I jumped recklessly that I added a huge workload to the second creation. I enjoyed the praise given by everyone when watching the play. How can I shift the blame to others because the work is not perfect? If I had wanted to understand this at the beginning, I would have been more restrained when writing, adding less trouble to the second creation, or modifying myself to make the story more round, more logical and less regretful.
In the process of watching the play, I saw the criticism of the audience, and I also recognized many of them. But I hope you will be as considerate as I am about the difficulty of creators and why we have to struggle and compromise.
So sorry, I won't play the original script again. Film and television art is a regretful art. I cultivate the present well and look forward to a better harvest in the coming year. I'm just going to briefly talk about the direction of the original play to answer the confusion of netizens who care about the original play:
The original script happiness is the last episode before returning home. She has been working in a law firm and divorced Wang Qinglai. While working in the law firm, she fought a water pollution lawsuit with Wanjia Village (she cared about the water quality because she cared about her own Inn, not meddling), firmly supported Xiuyu to disclose the truth of impersonation, helped Xiuyu get back her identity, fought a property dispute with the Wang family over Qiuju Inn, and finally obtained the custody of the child. After finding all kinds of shortcomings of Qingzhi, director Xu quietly helped Yani and Qingzhi separate. Finally, Qingzhi realized his shortcomings, left the government and applied to be a village official at the grass-roots level. After all this, Qiu Ju returned to Wanjia at the suggestion of wanshantang to run for village director. When she tied the vote with Wan Chuanjia, Wan Shantang voted for Qiu Ju, who was elected the village director of Wan Jiazhuang. This is the story.
