Elephant Sitting on the Ground

About This Novel

When he was making movies, his name was Hu Bo; when he was writing novels, his name was Hu Qian. These two identities are like two parallel lines that have been running through his creative career, constructing two uniquely charming creative trajectories, until they overlapped in the movie "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor". This book completely contains the 30,000-word film shooting script of this extraordinary posthumous work, from which we can see Hu Qian's keen perception and expressive power of literary language and image language. The book also includes Hu Qian's debut novel "Community", which was completed in 2011 but has never been published: sewers in the community flowed across the street, Zhao Xiang, a woman living in the third unit, was killed, and Huang Qiang, the carport manager, was used as a scapegoat. He had to start paying attention to the changes in the community, and slowly discovered the secrets hidden in each household. The secret of the body... It was this novel that started Hu Qian's literary creation. The sharp social insights, ingenious text structure and narrative techniques all present a highly concentrated dramatic tension, and the depressive tone also foreshadowed the theme that Hu Qian continued to strengthen in his subsequent novel writing: the world is a wasteland. Reading this book is like watching a silent movie. His talent, sharpness, and edge are all the energy of life exploding on the white paper. Although two years have passed since Hu Qian left, he is still having an impact on us and the world with his absence. In order to pay tribute to this extraordinary masterpiece, a special film commemorative volume is also produced with the book, which collects more than a hundred behind-the-scenes photos of the movie "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor" for the collection of readers who love this movie.
