"The Secret Corner" has been hotly collected all the time

Zijin Chen: Zhu Chaoyang’s prototype is myself

　　"Hidden Corner" is accompanied by hot search officials, and countless analysis posts on hidden plots have pushed the story to another climax. On June 22, at the end of the play, a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily conducted an exclusive interview with Zi Jinchen, the original author and reasoning writer of the novel Bad Boy. Previously, Zijin Chen had many novels adapted into episodes-"Undocumented Crime" and "Secret Corner", including the upcoming "Silent Truth".

　　Talking about "The Secret Corner", Zijin Chen said that after watching free episodes last week, he was pleasantly surprised and spent the first time to download the episodes at the beginning of the paid on demand. My expectations". Talking about the creation of the original novel, he revealed that "except for the plot of the crime, Zhu Chaoyang's prototype is myself."

　　"The second creation of the screenwriter exceeded my expectations"

　　Beiqing Daily: "The Secret Corner" has attracted a lot of attention. How do you feel?

　　Zijin Chen: The first two episodes were released last Tuesday, and I knew it was very good after watching it. It’s not because it’s my own thing. I’m holding a pure passerby mentality. I paid for it in advance and watched it all on Thursday. I think the adaptation is too good, far beyond my expectations.

　　Beiqing Daily: How do you evaluate this adaptation of the original work?

　　Zijin Chen: From the text and the rhythm of the story, this script has been changed very well. I have always respected the secondary creators, because for the original authors, they actually won all the way. In this adaptation, the screenwriter did a lot of work. I think the most difficult part is to make the logic in the novel's event still true after the adaptation, including the character's personality. The novel is actually a bit dark, but the online drama is adapted more warmly. As for filming, actors, and other TV drama content, I am not a professional, but I feel that all the audience feel that the picture is wonderful.

　　"Zhu Chaoyang's prototype is me"

　　Beiqing Daily: How are the characters in the original book, especially the image of the children, designed? Specific to the image of Zhu Chaoyang, I feel that all bad things happen to a child. Is this way too cruel?

　　Zijin Chen: Actually, except for the crime, Zhu Zhaoyang's experience was basically written according to my own situation. The divorced family achieved good grades in school and was isolated by their classmates. I sometimes feel that the impact of childhood experiences on people is a lifetime. As for the skills, there are indeed less mature areas. I started writing this work in 2014. "The Crime of Undocumentedness" was just finished. When my wife was pregnant, I was looking for inspiration for the next work, and I thought about whether I could write a reasoning novel with the theme of minors. At that time, the creative skills may not be mature enough, a little too hard.

　　Beiqing Daily: What do you want to express through this story?

　　Zijin Chen: I think these three children are not bad in nature, but the outside influence on them. Zhu Chaoyang is actually a very forgiving child, just like he wrote on the desk at the time: "Eat hard, eat hard, only be the man", but the outside world hit him again and again, which caused his resistance process. . I think children have their own world, and many things between adults will be printed in growth. For example, divorced families have a great impact on children.

　　"Zengyue's consumption is within 500 yuan"

　　Beiqing Daily: Your novel covers a wide range of subjects, from the early "Youth God" and "Capital Showdown" to the later "King of Reasoning" series, which involves many fields. How have you changed in these years?

　　Zijin Chen: In the past, when I was a student, including when I was just starting work, I used to write as an amateur. Choosing to be a professional writer after 2012 means that you only have to do well, or you won’t even be able to eat. In the first few years, the economic pressure was very great. My monthly consumption was controlled within 500 yuan, and the annual consumption would not exceed 6000 yuan. It was indeed a very difficult two years. At that time, I thought about delivering food to the restaurant and getting through the difficult times, but there was no takeaway platform at that time. I was lucky, and I only made money after only two years. From the first day of professional writing, I felt that I should be able to do this well. At that time, I chose the path of reasoning novels because I had seen some. Inference novels are actually very popular in the world, but they are very small in China, because the originals start late and there is room for quality.

　　"Little actors are good at picking and acting well"

　　Beiqing Daily: Please comment on the performance of the actors in "The Secret Corner".

　　Zijin Chen: I think these actors are acting very well. This is the truth, from the perspective of a very simple audience. I think Qin Hao’s performance is quite appropriate, no more, no less suitable; Teacher Zhang Songwen’s performance has reached a point where I did not expect it. His performance is different from the role I wrote, and it is very good. Pope, the little actor, is well-chosen and well-performed. It is a child who will be very distressed at first sight.

　　Beiqing Daily: I feel you are still relaxed and funny on Weibo. What kind of person are you in your daily life? Have you considered something lighter in your creation?

　　Zijin Chen: I am actually a very humorous person, showing different faces on different topics. There are some subjects that are more serious. Just published "Crime of Low IQ" this month is a very funny story, and it doesn't want everyone to think about anything, just want to relax.

　　Beiqing Daily: What kind of growth environment do you want to create for your daughter?

　　Zijin Chen: I think it's good to be able to play with children. It's not necessary to plan how she will live in the future. For children, I only hope that she has the skills, not necessarily to study. As long as I have a skill, I will feel at ease.
