As one of the four great classics, "Water Margin", in addition to retaining the epic characteristics of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in terms of scale, it has developed completely new developments in narrative structure and language.

First of all, "Water Margin" is the first chapter-line novel in the history of Chinese literature written in ancient vernacular. It changes the half-text and half-white writing characteristics of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", which plays a crucial role in the development of Chinese novels;

Secondly, "Water Margin" is also unique in narrative. Taking the 120 chapters that are most widely circulated as an example, the first seventy chapters use smooth brushwork to draw out each hero one by one, and the beginning, inheritance, transformation and reunion are perfect. The appearance of each hero is not based on deliberate introduction to time or place, but seamlessly connected without leaving any trace when narrating the story.

Then, the novel goes to the seventy-first chapter of "The stone tablet of Zhongyi Hall is subject to astronomy, and the heroes of Liangshanbo are ranked in the seats". The narrative clues gather into one, and all rivers return to the sea, and the surging forward moves forward the entire story.

Finally, in the character portrayal of "Water Margin", the transformation from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to personalization, the protagonist is no longer a perfect person without shortcomings, but a living person with personality.

One hundred and eight heroes, each with their own faces, has different differences, and has the same differences, and has truly created typical characters in a typical environment.

There is no need to write directly about the person, and you can know who the person is by observing his words and deeds.

Both are brave and brave, Lu Zhishen beat Zhenguanxi to death with three punches. The rough and long wind are fine, brave and resourceful, while the black whirlwind Li Kui seemed reckless and frank; both are fighting tigers, Wu Song was meticulous and well-founded. Li Kui was also indomitable and impulsive.

Therefore, it can be said that Lu Zhishen is wise and brave, Li Kui is straight and brave, and Wu Song is ruthless and brave.

This kind of writing style of combining similarities and differences is often reflected in other characters, and together marks the maturity stage of Chinese novels in narrative and character creation.

However, some literary critics believe that the novel begins to enter a dull period after seventy chapters. The novel has been carried out continuously and the exciting plots and the smooth narratives have never seen each other again. The characters have gradually become stereotyped, and those heroes who shine in the previous article seem to be gradually invisible.

The famous Qing Dynasty critics even more extremely took the content of the seventy chapters and satisfies everything they need to do. This shows that.

Despite this, when Liu Jingting released the first two chapters of the novel, both the editors of "Jianglu" and some senior readers vaguely noticed Liu Jingting's intention. He knew that his so-called challenge of multiple protagonists was not just about playing a word game.

"The concept of thirty-six heavenly gangs and seventy-two earthly evil is mentioned in "Journey to the West". Zhu Bajie has thirty-six heavenly gang changes, and Sun Wukong has 72 earthly evil changes. This book adopts this concept. It reflects the reincarnation of one hundred and eight demon kings, which is not a clever trick. This foreshadowing is very precise."

"It is still an ancient-style narrative, and it can be seen that it has a lineage with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", but the content and structure are more flexible."

"I can't see anything deeper in just two episodes, but it can be clearly seen that the book "Water Margin" has a lot of ambitions."

...

Since turning on the single-on mode, Liu Jingting's daily work has been relatively easy, and Yang Lilu has formed an inverse relationship.

I write three novels every day, and spend the rest of my time reading books, listening to music, watching movies, picking up Yang Lilu from get off work. I have dinner with Chang Youdao and others, and occasionally participate in topic discussions and decisions. Pay attention to the progress of several adaptation cooperation projects.

For example, the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has signed a formal contract with Ocean. In addition to taking normal royalties, Liu Jingting participated in the investment as usual. This is also the first time that Liu Jingting officially cooperated with Ocean in the name of the company.

Wang Hang'an was still very excited about this and paid for the company's employees to have afternoon tea with his own pocket. Several directors of Longchuan Group have always disagreed with Wang Hang'an's strategy of "continuously showing goodwill to Liu Jingting". However, since Wang Hang'an became the general manager of the TV station, his performance and work ability are obvious to all. Even when Liu Jingting was consulting Xingyue, Haiyang had never suffered a complete defeat. Taking the adaptation rights of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was a classic battle for Wang Hang'an.

Another thing is that the group chairman Wang Qisen always spared no effort to support his grandson Wang Hang'an, and he emphasized this idea almost every time the board of directors.

"There is no absolute enemy, only absolute interests. Liu Jingting once helped Xingyue beat us up, but this does not mean that we and Liu Jingting are in a lifetime of opposition. Knowing the current affairs and identifying the opportunity are the basic qualities of being a businessman."

When Wang Hang'an proposed to seize the "Tianlong Eight" project, Wang Qisen explained some directors and executives at a senior meeting, asking them to let go of their hatred and prejudices towards Liu Jingting.

When Wang Hang'an finally spoke, he said it more simply and bluntly: "Everyone will get more money this year after winning this project."

Everyone looked at the Chairman's meaningful expression and the General Manager's confident look, and there was nothing to say.

After all, isn’t the reason why Haiyang has been beaten by Xingyue in recent years because of the unpredictable Liu Jingting? Whether it is a director or an executive, isn’t their fundamental purpose to share more dividends and increase ratings?

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came to the world like mountains and rivers. Not to mention the group executives who have been paying attention to this kind of information, even the directors who only sit at home and wait for dividends have learned some information.

Now that Wang Hang'an can grab the adaptation rights of this novel from so many competitors (including Xingyue). In addition to being glad that they chose an excellent general manager, what position do they have to complain about?

In fact, after the "Tianlong Basketball" project was officially launched, some directors suggested that they continue to follow up on Liu Jingting's latest works, but Wang Hang'an did not think so.

"One, when we were competing with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", we had won several giants, including CCTV and Huaying. We are different from Liu Jingting. He can ignore the pressure of any unit and individual, and we cannot;

2. When cooperating with people like Liu Jingting, you cannot show too strong greed. You must know how to advance and retreat. As far as I know, during this competition for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Xingyue Palace Chengpin took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, and also asked Liu Jingting to discuss this matter specifically, showing an understanding company vividly and exquisitely;

3. Although Liu Jingting can be without any taboos and will not get in, he will definitely make some balance and adjustments for the sake of his personal convenience in the future. I guess his new book must have already negotiated with CCTV or Huaying about the adaptation rights, so we cannot interfere even more."

There is no doubt that in the end, Wang Hang'an, who was well-founded, convinced the board of directors. In fact, he guessed all the possibilities correctly. However, Liu Jingting's new book "Water Margin" did not only choose one partner this time, but chose Huaying and CCTV to make this TV series.

Liu Jingting paid tribute to his predecessors and sold "Water Margin" to CCTV for one yuan, while Yingri Culture and Huaying participated in the investment together.

In other words, the production of the TV series "Water Margin" this time is a cooperation between Liu Jingting, CCTV and China Film!

This is almost the most powerful cooperation in the history of TV dramas. After the news was announced, the media vividly described this cooperation as "strong alliance". (To be continued...)
