In 2017, a domestic anti-corruption drama became popular all over the country with its solid plot content. The original author and screenwriter of the series, Zhou Mason , has entered the vision of more ordinary audiences. His dual creative identity has also continued to the popular series " Game ".
The drama is starring Qin Hao , Wan Qian , Tian Yu , Zhang Meng and others. It revolves around an old factory with a century-old history. It tells the story of a group of entrepreneurs such as Sun Heping (played by Qin Hao) who dares to think and do bravely draw their swords. It presents the struggle process of how Chinese heavy-installed enterprises adapt to market needs, innovate themselves, and develop innovate over the past 40 years of reform and opening up.
Since the release of its first novella "The Sinking Land" in 1983, Zhou Meisen has created classic literary works such as "Made in China", "National Prosecution" and "Absolute Power". Among them, many novels are adapted into TV series by him, such as "In the Name of the People" and "Breakthrough" (the original work " People's Property "), etc.
Now 66-year-old Zhou Meisen still insists on writing every day. In an interview with 1905 Movie Network , said that he was writing a work on the theme of political and legal rectification, with the tentative title being "The Blade Inward".
/ Life is the best source of creation /
Unwilling to repeat yourself and others is the creative creed that Zhou Meisen adheres to. "The Great Game" currently airing in
chooses to face the arduous, complex and tragic path that China has taken in the past 20 years. The creation of such theme works is not common in the domestic drama market.
"The rise of China's manufacturing over the past few decades has shocked the world and changed the face of the Chinese nation. This cannot be ignored. Many people say that industrial themes and agricultural themes, no one reads the writing of farmers and workers. I think our country is still dominated by farmers and workers. They are the foundation of our republic. Literary and artistic workers have the necessary and obliged to do something for them. There are too few such works in recent years. I just want to make such an attempt." In an interview with 1905 Movie Network, Zhou Mason admitted that "The Great Game" is a new creative direction attempt. He hopes that the audience can see a new art form in the works.
Before starting the creation of novels of the same name, Zhou Meisen has been paying attention to the process of China's production industry. During this period, he tracked and learned about the boss of a famous domestic heavy-fit power group company. He was inspired by the entrepreneur's struggle and his creative vision opened up.
This also made Zhou Meisen deeply realize, "What determines the fate of the company is a large number of entrepreneurs like Sun Heping. They led the company out of difficulties and created industrial miracles."
So, a story about manufacturing in China began to brew in his mind, and 12 years later became "Great Game".
The content of the face-to-face field trip with entrepreneurs at that time has also become the source of inspiration for novels and scripts. For example, when the entrepreneur was developing the market overseas, he accidentally discovered that the local rats were seriously affected, so he had an idea to transport rat poison from China and made a lot of profits. This story also became the opening scene of the show. This dramatic expression originated from real life has become a powerful tool to attract audiences to watch the show.
The source of creation of the TV series "Breakthrough" reflecting the transformation of state-owned enterprises in 2021 also comes from life. My years of experience in state-owned enterprises made Zhou Meisen easy to write.
"Actors Qin Hao, Wan Qian, Tian Yu, and Zhang Meng, Tan Kai , and Ke Lan , all performed very well. During the filming process, I kept coming over and found problems, and I would also ask the director to ask the relevant comrades, but now we can rest assured that the completion of this drama is quite good, and the audience is worth paying attention to and looking forward to."
Zhou Mason said bluntly that although he did not have much contact with the actors in the film, he was quite satisfied with their performance. In his mind, acting and matching with the character are the primary considerations when casting.
For so many years, the list of actors in the series written by Zhou Mason is mainly composed of powerful actors.For example, in "In the Name of People", Lu Yi, Zhang Fengyi, , Wu Gang, , Hou Yong, ; in "Breakthrough", , Jin Dong, , Yan Ni, , Huang Zhizhong, etc. Among them, Zhou Meisen even named Yan Ni for the role of Shi Hongxing in "Breakthrough". Because she is very suitable for this role with rich emotions and a sense of fireworks on earth.
insists on drawing creative inspiration from real life, and not looking at traffic when casting, which has become two major characteristics of the TV series written by Zhou Meisen. This is also an important reason for the success of many literary and artistic works.
/ Political and legal rectification theme new works creation /
starts from literature and ends from screenwriters.
This has always been a major problem in the process of adapting novels to film and television dramas. After all, text and images are two different narrative carriers. It has become a consensus in the industry that a good writer may not be a good screenwriter sometimes. Zhou Meisen, who often switches between the two and has achieved something, has what creative secrets do he have?
"I only write my own works and I don't feel at ease to write to others." Zhou Meisen said that the outline of his novel is also the basis for the first draft of the script.
To this day, he has developed a unique writing habit, and some content "when writing novels, it is as weakened as possible, but when adapting the script, I know where to promote dramatic contradictions."
The first TV series written by Zhou Mason was " The Right Way of the World ", which won the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award for Best TV Series. At that time, a deputy director of CCTV said to him: "Your work is not easy to change, you can only modify it yourself." As a result, Zhou Meisen started his career as a screenwriter.
is familiar with the novel content and script creation rules, so that it can quickly get into the state, imagine the development direction of the plot, and figure out the inner activities that suit the characters. This also allows him to play the dual roles of writer and screenwriter at the same time. Regarding the film and television works he participated in in the past, he proudly stated, "Every work is the best level I could achieve at that time. Every one is very satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you won't let it come out."
has worked as a miner, an editor, a businessman, and a job in a government department. His rich and colorful real life experience has laid a solid foundation for Zhou Meisen's literary and artistic works creation career. Realistic themes have become the area that they have been deeply rooted in. He believes that contemporary writers and screenwriters must have the courage to face life when writing realistic works. A good work that truly touches readers and audiences must be a good writing about the essence of life and the times.
"If a person can do a job that is satisfactory in his life and gain spiritual and material enjoyment, it is very happy. This is the state of me, from the age of fourteen, I have been obsessed with writing and working until today, and I work creatively every day." Zhou Meisen never regrets choosing to engage in a literary and artistic career. In the future, he will still stick to the realist literary creation position and stick to his thinking on reality.
"I am currently writing a work on political and legal rectification subjects. Because I have been writing anti-corruption works, this is a subject I like very much. I have been creating for half a year. The tentative title of this work is "The Blade Inward"." At the end of the interview, Zhou Meisen revealed the creation direction of future literary works. New works are already on the way...
