　　If it was released, I would definitely go and watch it by myself the first time.

Because the actors in this lineup are very good, like "Uncle Ge" and Lei Jiayin, these are also old acquaintances, including Xin Zhilei and Li Xian. I think these people are better actors, so they What kind of performance in it, because I haven't seen the film yet, I am also looking forward to it.

　　[Explanation] In recent years, popular film and television dramas adapted from Ma Boyong's works have been frequently seen by the public. The new work "Litchi in Chang'an" was published in Harvest magazine this year.

He was so "high-yielding" and he didn't feel tired. The 70,000-character "Litchi in Chang'an" was written in only eleven days.

　　Many people will say that you write more than one million words every year, do you feel tired?

I said you get tired from watching movies every day?

Will it be tiring to watch 20 or 30 movies a year?

He said no, it was a rest, and I said it was the same for me. You watch a movie and it is a rest for me, and I also rest for me to write. I am very happy.

　　[Commentary] "Daming Under the Microscope", "Twelve Hours in Chang'an", "Fifteenth of Two Beijings"... Many historical novels by Ma Boyong are very popular among readers.

How does he balance the boundary between real history and literary creation?

Ma Boyong said: "The big things are true, but the small things are not restricted."

　　[Concurrent] Ma Boyong, a well-known writer and member of the Chinese Writers Association

　　"The big things are true" means that we don't make up big things.

For example, if we want to write about the Tang Dynasty, we cannot say that there is no Anshi Rebellion, nor can we say that Concubine Yang did not die in Maweipo. These are all solid records in history. This is a major event, and I can't make a fiction.

But we are "not restrictive" from the details, how did Concubine Yang escape to Maweipo?

How did the Anshi Rebellion break out?

What was the specific process of the outbreak?

What did they say?

These details have not been recorded in the history. I think we can make a certain degree of fiction from the details, but this fiction is not fanciful, we have to follow certain rules.

　　[Explanation] When talking about the ranking of his works in his mind, Ma Boyong said that the most satisfying one must be the latest one.

　　You have to say that the most satisfying one must be the latest one, because it is a kind of gradual progress, but in different stages, each book gives me different memories.

For example, the first work ("Wind from Longxi") was written by me at the time. It would be combined with the anxiety when I wrote my graduation thesis when I was in college, because at the time I was going to have a graduation thesis. I just don’t want to write it when I hand it in. Instead, I wrote it happily before handing in my graduation thesis.

Each book gives me a different memory. This is like raising a lot of children. Which one do you like the most?

In fact, there are good places.

　　[Explanation] In Ma Boyong's more than 20 years of creative experience, he believes that both his interests and creative styles are constantly changing, but the only constant is his love for writing.
