Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 1071 True and False Peng Peng
Before leaving Jiangyang to Yanjing to hold a signing event, Zhang Zhong took his family to "Sophie's World" to visit a class.

The shooting location this time is very close to Zhang Zhong's house, just over the side of Banbian Street.And the main shooting location is inside the Tongyoutongwu bookstore. Today, Tongyoutongwu bookstore is closed for one day, just to save the "Sophie's World" crew for filming.

Because it was Zhang Zhong's play, although the bookstore was closed for a day, the book lovers were not angry.

It's just a pity that Tongyoutongwu bookstore is too small, and outsiders are not allowed to enter during filming, otherwise many people will definitely watch the fun.

This scene is relatively simple, but very important.

In the book, when Sophie was reading with her teacher in the bookstore, she saw a book on the supernatural bookshelf that surprised her—Sophie's World.

That's right, the "Sophie's World" that Sophie saw was the "Sophie's World" written by the author Zhang rewritten for his daughter in Zhang's rewritten Sophie's World.

Multiple nesting dolls.

When Zhang rewrote the book, he changed the father in it to his own name, which added another level of meta-narrative.

So this joke is clear: In Zhang rewritten "Sophie's World", a writer Zhang Zhong wrote "Sophie's World" for his daughter as a birthday present, and this "Sophie's World" It was seen by Sophie on the bookshelf.

This plot is a very classic and wonderful time-space transformation technique.

The so-called time-space transformation refers to the fact that the time-space elements on which the storyline unfolds in the novel do not have strict realistic representations, and the space-time transformation depends entirely on the operation of the narrative, which can be changed and transformed arbitrarily. proceed.

Time-space transformation is a typical strategy of meta-narrative. In addition to time-space transformation, the other two classic strategies in meta-narration are parody and revealing.

Dew trace is easy to understand, it is to expose the traces of creation in the novel, which is also the core of meta-fiction.

Parody, generally speaking, refers to the novelist’s comical imitation of the plot structure and narrative city planning of some classic texts made by the predecessors in order to pursue a special artistic effect of the novel, using the traditional classic text structure to reproduce the story The plot and main body of the novel are rewritten and exaggerated wantonly to create a completely different main content and generate a new meta-fiction text.

Of course, Mr. Zhang Jinlai, a famous writer, once said that jokes are not nonsense.

When Zhang Zhong and the others arrived on the set, filming had not yet started, and the heroine was putting on makeup.

Director Xi Jin was discussing something with the actor who played Zhang Zhong with the script, and he didn't realize that Zhang Zhong had come until Zhang Zhong walked to the side.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here." Xi Jin stopped discussing with the actors and said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you are busy."

"I'm busy here too. I'm discussing the script with Mr. Liu. It just so happens that you're here. Let me give you an assistant? This is Mr. Liu who plays Zhang Zhong." Xi Jin introduced the person next to him, but said that the other party is When playing Zhang Zhong, I felt a little strange, after all, Zhang Zhong himself was right in front of him.

Teacher Liu also said hello to Zhang Zhong, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

"Hello, Mr. Liu." Zhang nodded emphatically, and then said to Xi Jin, "I'm a pure layman in acting, so I don't want to mix it up. I don't have any other intentions to come here today, just come to visit the class."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be about acting. You see, you wrote this book, and the characters in it are also yourself. You must have some experience."

"Yes, Teacher Zhang."

Zhang Zhong still shook his head: "It's really not necessary, I'll just watch from the side later."

For Zhang Zhong, it's best not to comment on things that he doesn't understand.Xi Jin and this teacher Liu asked him for advice because they were modest and gave themselves face, but in terms of majors, they were still far behind.

And the scene has been filmed for so long, there is absolutely no need to intervene again.People acted "Zhang Zhong" for so long according to their own understanding, just because you came to change?So can we continue filming this scene?

In fact, Xi Jin asked Zhang Chong when he first took over the play, and asked him if he would like to play the role of Zhang Chong in the book.

But it was rejected by Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong didn't have the time to spend on filming, this is the first point.There is no acting, which is the second point.I am not the right age, this is the third point.

Let me talk about the first point first, Zhang Zhong is busy with his family, school and writing every day, which is enough for him to fill up his time, so there is no time for acting.

The second point is that although Zhang Zhong has the experience of guest roles, this time is completely different. Zhang Zhong in "Sophie's World" is the main role, and he has a lot of roles.

The third point is that the age is indeed inappropriate.

Although Zhang Zhong in the book is also written according to his own prototype, his age has been raised to his teens. He is a man in his 40s, so it is not appropriate for him to act.

The actor playing himself in front of me is more suitable. He is in his 40s, wears a pair of glasses, has some stubble around his lips, and is slightly fat.

Relatively speaking, this teacher Liu is more in line with the image of a writer in the hearts of ordinary people.

The three of them chatted for a while, and a staff member came over to tell Xi Jin that Zhao Xinyue's makeup was ready.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry." Xi Jin said to Zhang Zhong in embarrassment.

"Go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll just watch from the side." Zhang Zhong waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter.

This scene also has "Zhang Zhong" in it, so Teacher Liu also said goodbye, "Mr. Zhang, I am leaving too."

"Let's go."

After Xi Jin and the others left, Zhang Zhong and Xu Yuhan led Peng Peng around the crew.

Regardless of the fact that the director has passed by now, it may take a while to shoot, and the on-site scheduling alone will take a lot of time.

Zhang Zhong planned to take advantage of this time to wander around the film crew, but in fact it was just the Tong You Tong Wu bookstore.

There is a place for the actors to rest at the door, and some cameras are making up some exterior shots.

As soon as Zhang Zhong and the others walked to the rest area, they heard someone shouting: Zhang Pengpeng.

"Ugh!"

When Pengpeng heard someone calling her, she responded reflexively, and then looked over, "Who called me?"

The person who called was not far away, and when a little girl responded, she also turned her head to look at Peng Peng with a surprised face.

There is also a teenage girl looking over here.

After seeing Zhang Zhong and the others, the girl hurriedly bowed down to apologize to Zhang Zhong, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she called me."

Zhang Zhong understood when he saw the girl.

That girl was the actor who played Pengpeng. The staff just now probably didn't know the actor very well, so they just called out the name of the character.

It happened to be heard by Peng Peng, who thought it was calling her.

Zhang Zhong said to Pengpeng, "She didn't call you, she called that sister."

Pengpeng opened his eyes wide, with a look of incredulity on his face, "Is that sister also called Zhang Pengpeng?"

At this moment Xu Yuhan also reacted, and said with a smile, "Her name is not Zhang Pengpeng, but she is playing Zhang Pengpeng."

"Is she acting when I was growing up?" Pengpeng asked.

Zhang nodded, "That's right."
