Non-problems: from Lao She's Novels to Mei Feng's Films
by Meifeng
About This Novel
This book is the final script of the working version of the movie "No Problem". It is adapted from Lao She's novel of the same name published in 1943. It tells the story of Ding Wuyuan, the director of Chongqing's "Shuhua" Farm during the Anti-Japanese War, who was good at dealing with things despite poor management. The script basically follows the narrative structure of the novel, retains the conciseness and humor of Lao She's language, and uses more details to restore the sophistication of the people and the style of the Republic of China in the 1940s. In addition to exclusively presenting the complete script, the book also includes the original novel, creative explanations from the film's creative members, a blockbuster interview with the director, as well as selected behind-the-scenes artwork, shot lists, etc. Readers can combine the above content to figure out how to adapt literary classics, understand the aesthetic choices and creative ideas of the film, feel the inheritance of literary tradition and care for reality in "new literati films", and witness the birth of this film in an all-round way.
