This year marks my fortieth year of writing. The short play "The Movie Queen's Script Gone Wrong" was originally adapted from one of my short stories "A Fairytale Isn't Good Enough", but later it was changed beyond recognition during the script writing process. And because I liked the script so much, I felt itchy and rewrote the script into a novel for the first time. I was really involved in the story for a long time after I made the short. I like the "wildness" of making a wish. She was never the chosen one, she was the one who took the initiative to pick up the pen and rewrite the script of her own destiny. I also like McGavin's "Exception". No pretense, no internal friction, love makes a cold boss start to become more human. Thanks to Li Keyi and He Jianqi for giving my words a more graphic feel. With Li Ke's toughness that grew out of the soil, she didn't even have to "act" her stubbornness and fragility to play Wish Wish, she was that person standing there. The unique coldness and restraint in He Jianqi's body, and the occasional warmth that cannot be hidden in his eyes, are exactly what Michael Jiawen looks like in my mind. I think this is also the fate of the two of them and this story. Make a wish and say: "If fate gives me a wrong script, I will change it into an epic." This sentence is for everyone who is rewriting your own script. I hope you will also meet the person who is willing to see all of you.
I like this novel very much, because the most rare thing about this book is that it does not describe love as "redemption." McGavin is not Prince Charming, he is a control freak who only makes decisions for others at first. Make a Wish is not Cinderella, she is an ordinary person who clearly wants to be an actress, but first deceives herself into becoming a teacher. Their love went from "you arrange everything for me" to "we can make choices together." I especially liked the rooftop scene of the reunion - Michael Jiawen finally asked "Can I hug you", while Xu Wishuan said "just for a hug", but hugged you for a long time. At that moment I realized that true love is not about possession, but about being willing to wait for someone to learn to say "what do you need". Every breakup, cold war, jealousy, and apology they had was like tearing down a wall. Finally the wall fell down and the sun shone in.
I had to write this line alone because it was the detail that made me scream the most after reading the entire book. "Je te vois" first appeared when the French teacher humiliated her into making a wish in class. McGavin pushed the door in and drove the teacher away, then taught her to pronounce these three words. "What do you mean?" "I saw you." At that time, Wish Wish's inner activity was "Why do I feel like I have been confessed?" At that time, we all thought that this was just a little ambiguity in class, and that Michael was using his multilingual skills to show off in front of the little girl. But Sister Xueman asked Xuanyuan to practice "Je te vois" a hundred times in front of the mirror in the next chapter, until she could write it without looking at the card, and until the last sound ended in her nasal cavity, "like a sigh with a smile." Later, this card with "Je te vois" written on it was sandwiched by her in the script. Later, she turned over and touched it until the edges became furry, the handwriting faded, and she could recite every stroke. Later, during the cold war, breakup, and reconciliation, these three words were always hidden in the softest corner of her heart, like a secret spell. Until the last chapter, at the award ceremony, she stood in front of the microphone holding the Best Actress trophy, and said those three French syllables in front of all the cameras, all her peers, and all the audiences. It turns out that "Je te vois" was never a love saying in French class. It was a "seeing" that McGavin completed when he met her on the first day. He saw her in the auditorium of Huagang Art School, saw her on the stage of the graduation drama, and locked eyes with her in the crowd. When he said, "I saw you," he didn't see a beautiful actress, but saw her ambition, her stubbornness, and the "unconcealable and unquenchable fire" in her eyes. And using this sentence to make a wish in return to him is to say, "I saw you too." They saw each other's truest side, which is the most precious part of this relationship. True love is never a vigorous pursuit, it is "seeing" and "understanding". It is a person who accurately recognizes the soul of another person in the vast sea of people.
I have always felt that the most powerful thing about Sister Xueman is that when she writes about a girl's growth, she never writes about general principles. She writes about details. Li Xinran changed her name to Xu Yuan Yuan. On the surface, it was the stage name given to her by Michael Jiawen. It was a boss's packaging of artists, and it was a process in the industrialized assembly line of the entertainment industry. But after reading the whole story and looking back at the three words "Make a Wish", you will find that this is the first gift McGavin gave her - make a wish and make her wish come true. This name carries a blessing from the beginning. Sister Xueman used the plot of changing her name to describe the reshaping of a girl's identity in a light yet heavy way. What's light is that Mai Jiawen said "it's easier to become famous with this name", in an understatement and businessman's tone; what's more important is that Li Xinran has really grown into a different person under this name. She is no longer just the daughter of the owner of the rice noodle shop on Tangzi Street and a little transparent person with no future in Huagang Art School. She has begun to have her own career, her own light, and her own love. But the great thing about Sister Xueman is that she never lets Xu Wishuan forget that she is Li Xinran. One of the most touching scenes in the whole book was when she said in front of millions of people on the live broadcast, "My real name is Li Xinran, and my parents have opened a rice noodle shop on Tangzi Street for 20 years." At that moment, she was not the newcomer Xinghan favored to make a wish. She was the Li Xinran who dared to lift the principal's wig. She was the Li Xinran who wore cheap high-heeled shoes and had to walk off the stage with her head held high despite having blisters on her toes. The charming thing about the character of Wishes is that she has zero sense of "unworthiness". She didn't feel that her humble background was something to be ashamed of, she didn't feel that her parents selling rice noodles was a secret that should be kept hidden, and she didn't feel that she needed to hesitate to say to Michael, "My parents opened a rice noodle shop on Tangzi Street." Puxi said to her on the rooftop, "You have no sense of unworthiness, so you deserve to stand next to him." This sentence is the core footnote of the entire story.
After reading it, I suddenly remembered myself when I just graduated and squeezed into the subway with my resume in hand. We are all ordinary "Li Xinran". We don't have good luck from heaven, but we all want to slowly correct the mistakes in the script in our own fields. It turns out that the confidence of an ordinary girl has always been earned step by step.
McGavin may be cold-blooded and restrained, but when he encountered Wishing, his cold shell began to crack little by little, just like an iceberg encountering lava, slowly melting... Looking forward to more plots
The most touching part of growing up is finally having the courage to accept everything about yourself. From concealing her real name to openly saying "My name is Li Xinran, and my family owns a rice noodle shop" in the live broadcast, this step is braver than winning a movie.
"If fate gives me a script that goes wrong, I will change it into an epic." This sentence really hit home for me! The story of making a wish is not only a cool article in the entertainment industry, but also an epitome of every ordinary person's struggle and improvement in their destiny. And the phrase "I hope you can also meet the person who is willing to see all of you" is really healing.
After reading the novel, I immediately raised my expectations! The love in the book that breaks away from the established script is very atmospheric, and the trials and heartbeats between the characters are particularly immersive. Looking forward to Wishes and Michael and waiting for the short series to start airing! [Eating melon]
"Even if the script has already been written, I have to rewrite my own ending." This sentence hit me hard. It is not just a sweet pet story in the entertainment industry. The appearance of making a wish and making progress in the face of adversity is very powerful. Michael sees and accepts her in all her appearance. The two-way relationship is particularly healing.
Bu Xi's eyes turned red. The person I loved for five years, held my position for five years, finally left with a smile, changed my name, and went my own way. It turns out that a compulsory lesson for growing up is to accept that some people can only accompany you for a short distance. Saying goodbye gracefully is also a kind of bravery.
The moment he hugged her sideways on the red carpet of the press conference, the flash went crazy and the shutter sound was like hail hitting a tin roof. But what really moved me was not the princess hug, but the burning rice noodles in the thermal bag he handed over afterwards. The words "Today is an exception" carry much more weight than "I love you".
After reading the whole book, what I want to say most is: Sister Xueman wrote about a group of "undefended people". Xuanyuan was undefended, she dared to expose her origins, her own embarrassment, and her own ambitions in front of everyone. Because it is undefended, it is invulnerable. You can't attack someone who has laid all their cards on the table. Busi said that she has "no sense of unworthiness." Behind this sentence is: Only when a person fully accepts her past, her family, and all the "not good enough" parts of herself can she move openly to a bigger stage. And McGavin was also undefended. Although he has money, power and status, he confessed his vulnerability to Make a Wish - he admitted that he was "tempted", and he admitted that he "can't bear to lose the feeling" of the love between two "real people". They don't play "better versions" in front of each other, they are who they are. Wish Wish's ambition never needs to be "educated" or "tamed". Michael McGavin knew the fire in her eyes from the first day he saw her. He signed her, supported her, and promoted her to the position of actress because he admired the girl who "wanted", was insatiable, and would never say "enough".
From the reader's perspective, I really feel empathy. Each of us is the "Li Xinran" in our own lives, holding a script with mistakes in our hands. Without good luck from heaven, without the protection of a domineering president, we can only grit our teeth and move forward. But this book tells us that even if we are from an ordinary background, even if we make a few wrong steps, even if we occasionally misunderstand, as long as the fire in our eyes does not go out, one day we can turn the wrong script into our own epic.
"Wear an extra layer of clothing tomorrow when the temperature drops," written on the note, was turned over and over until the edges were touched. This detail reminds me of the notes I treasured when I was a student, the feeling of "I treat the other person's random words as a treasure". When writing about secret love and ambiguity, I will always be a god.
The last chapter returns to the burning rice noodles, forming a perfect closed loop with the beginning. A year and a half ago she stood on the stage wearing a soaked skirt and said "I will change it into an epic". A year and a half later she opened the door holding the trophy and shouted "Mom, Dad, I'm back." Following him, he said, "Auntie, give me a bowl too." From one person to two people, from loneliness to perfection, Sister Xueman gave me a fairy tale, but this fairy tale was obtained with 220,000 words of pain and tears.
The most poignant thing is never "I love you", but the phrase "Je te vois" that is as light as a sigh. The best heartbeat in the world is when someone walks through the crowd and sees your stubbornness under your hard shell, your kindness in moments of embarrassment, and the light you haven't noticed yet.
I especially want to see the part where they measure their waistlines. He Jianqi held the tape measure, and without touching the skin with his fingertips, he gently pulled the person closer, breathing with tension; Li Ke, with his averted eyes and red ears, was so green that it made him shudder to think about it.
What impressed me most about this book was its "undefense" nature. Xu Wishuan never used any scheming methods from beginning to end. She was not smart, tactful, or sophisticated. She just ran rampant with the energy of "I am not afraid". What Sister Xueman wants to say is that sincerity is the greatest weapon, and not pretending is the highest level of beauty.
A very favorite story! Make a Wish is so cute QAQ, I just finished watching the short drama and came to look for the novel version... I am looking forward to the development of the subsequent plot! Our heroine is so sassy and professional! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)👍 Michael Jiawen is so handsome when he appears. Let's take a look at the relationship between the two of them... When will they be together? Let's have a good relationship!
I was struck instantly after reading the excerpt. "The words that many people say when they say goodbye are all codes written in advance by fate." The writing is delicate and has a touch of meaning, and the atmosphere of the story is directly filled. I am very much looking forward to Li Ke playing the role in the book after the adaptation. I have already started to brainstorm the scenes. I hope that "The Queen's Script Gone Wrong" will be released soon! Five-star support, waiting for the broadcast!
"If fate gives me a wrong script, I will change it into an epic." This sentence suddenly struck a chord in my heart. Wish Wish is trapped in debt and unequal contracts, struggling to survive in the mixed entertainment industry. She does not rely solely on the protection of the male protagonist. Even if she is wronged in love, she dares to get out in time and pursue her dream of being an actress. McGavin gradually moved from being cold and restrained to being sincere. The pull between the two people is vividly written. The characters are vivid and the plot is not suspended. It is worth reading. Come back and comment after reading the update! Compared to the vigorous sweetness, I love the growth of the characters in this book more. Make a wish to break through the shackles all the way, not rely on charity, and rewrite your own ending with your own hands. The core of female growth is well written, and the emotional line is slowly unfolding. I look forward to the two of them unraveling all the barriers.
One is gentle and fragile, and the other is a cold and domineering boss. The reality and the world of the script are intertwined, bringing about layer upon layer of reversals. The process between the male and female protagonists from pulling together to rushing in both directions is full of sweetness and pleasure. I especially appreciate the wishing, even if you are in the mud, you must step out of the flowers and be the heroine of your own life! ! !
Good-looking, Wishing is not a natural heroine. She can compromise and be forbearing, but she never gives in, which is what impresses people about this character. McGavin is full of pressure in the early stage, and it seems that she just treats Wishing as an investment that needs to be polished, but there is care hidden under this strength, and the tension between the two people is very strong.
Li Ke's live broadcast of recognizing relatives will definitely be very poignant. Sitting in a rice noodle shop with the stove behind me, I said frankly, "My parents own a rice noodle shop. They are my pride." It was so magnanimous and sincere that I burst into tears just thinking about it.
The best love is evenly matched. You are the president of an entertainment company, and I am a potential new actor; you have your business map, and I have my acting dream. We each shine, and then we meet at the top, and no one is attached to the other.
I used to think that Rao Xueman wrote about the pain of youth, but now I understand that what she writes about is girls' self-healing. From school uniforms to the workplace, from youth to transparency, we will all encounter the wrong people and wrong things, but in the end we must learn to reconcile with our own lives.
The unspoken truth of this book: All beauty has a price. If you want to win a Best Actress Award, you have to give up the stability of being in school, hide from your family, and stay up countless nights practicing bodybuilding and memorizing lines; if you want to make your love public, you have to endure the discussion and criticism of the entire Internet. Good luck never comes out of thin air in the world, it is all growth with a secret price tag.
He held her in his arms as he walked down the corridor, and the silhouettes of the two people were reflected in the elevator mirror. The white shirt was soaked with her sweat, and her arms were hanging around his neck. The image was so strong that I could almost see the blushing girl in the mirror. Sister Xueman never writes about her heartbeat directly. She hides her heartbeat in every tiny movement - hidden buttons, zippers, fingertips touching fingertips.
He Jianqi's physical appearance is perfect for Michael Jiawen. When he stands against the light, his silhouette is cold, and when he smiles, there is a soft contrast. The transformation from "star-making machine" to "love brain" can be performed just by his eyes.
