After watching Chang'er's novel "Genius Basic Law" and the TV series "Genius Basic Law" co -created by Shen Yan's team and Tencent Films, it can be basically determined that these are two completely different but complementary works. It is like building a garden. Although those basic materials are still there, there are pavilions, rockery, and promenade. The creators re -cast the characters, structures, and plots with their own experience and emotions as mirrors, thus a new garden. This garden has its own mighty long wind and its own curvature.

In the final analysis, adapting the film and television drama based on novels is actually a process of borrowing mountains and Lingshui Ronghu, and it is the gully in the creator's own heart. Interestingly, despite being so different, these two gardens faintly reveal their intertwined interests. Let's put it this way, the gardener entered from the same entrance, and then stepped on the different journey, went around, and came to the same exit, sharing a general state of mood. This shows the respect and respect of the creators of the film and television drama. So, what did the TV series "Genius Basic Law" borrow from the novel and what new aesthetic elements did you give?

The novel "Genius Basic Law" shaped a group of geniuses. Yes, it is a group, not just Lao Lin and Pei Zhi. Lin Daixi walked from the world of strawberries to the cheese world. It was to meet this group of geniuses and work with them to enjoy the beauty of mathematics together. Yes, novels are mathematics from beginning to end. How many people, including us adults, have defeated in the face of mathematics, and left deep psychological trauma, regarding it like a tiger and a fear. Mathematics seems to be an accurate detector that separates ordinary people from genius.

Lin Daixi, or the author Chang'er did not believe this. She persisted to let us see that mathematics is not so mysterious and not so profound. She told us through the mouth of the characters, "Mathematics opened our eyes, so that we can have the opportunity to see the tools that are the original appearance of the entire unknown world; it is mathematics to see and know the bridge between the bridges."

"Mathematics is a tool or language. You may feel hard in the process of mastering this tool or language, but compared with the unknown fun, these efforts and hard work are worth it. Once your consciousness is conscious By the time, we are just small humans on a small planet, but they are trying to master a thing that can understand the truth of the universe. You will suddenly realize that the learning process itself is great enough. "In this sense, The Genius Basic Law is about mathematics, not only mathematics. It talks about the exploration of the unknown world, the development of thinking boundaries and more possibilities.

In fact, in the original novels, Lin Daixi's three walks are also a process of continuous understanding of mathematics. For the first time, she returned to the age of 12, and the task was to participate in the Summer Camp. In the summer camp, she began to understand the nature of mathematics, and tried to use her own way to establish her own mathematical knowledge system. By the way, she used Jinjiang Cup to test the results of the first place in the province's total score in the province. Once, she thought she had no mathematics talent. Now, she finds that even ordinary people have their own love, and have something that she is willing to work hard for it.

For the second time, she returned to the third grade and participated in the unified examination and training of the National Middle School Mathematics League, and initially linked mathematics and programming. This time, mathematics is no longer a problem that is outside her, but is integrated with her. She learned not to weigh herself with the eyes of others and judges. For the third time, she would help Lao Lin to complete the proof of the certificate of the same graph, the accusations of the scrubbing, and through the method of modeling to speculate the time and place of the old forest accident. Mathematics regression tool itself helps Lin Daixi solve the problem in life. In the process of walking every time, genius's light is like Haoyue, bright and pure, shining on the road of moving forward. With them, it seems that the dark night is not so dark, and we can find our own way through this light. So, is Lin Daixi a genius? Because of the existence of Lao Lin and Pei Zhi, she has always thought that she was just an ordinary person, but because of the opportunity of walking, she got the bonus.

However, when she persistently passed the light of genius to Bao Xiaomeng, she did not look at it when she changed their destiny. At this point, the definition of genius was rewritten. Genius not only refers to superb intelligence. Having genius does not mean that you have since set foot on the way and have a perfect life. The life of Lao Lin and Pei Zhi is the best explanation. However, unlike ordinary people, in the face of difficulty in the difficulty, they will always be frank and fearless. They understand their own minds, be loyal to their ideals, pursue their love, and always unswerving. They may succeed or fail.

But because of loyalty to themselves, they are ready to fail, and they have never regretted choice in life. This is the most charming place. Therefore, the novel "Genius Basic Law" is a personalist narrative. It is the story of how individuals determine the goals of life and the meaning of life, and complete the self through continuous efforts.

When Shen Yan and his team recommended this bright story by Tencent Films, and also took the adaptation problem. The novel is a narrative from the perspective of Lin Daixi's restriction. The reader was able to send it to Lin Daixi, deep into her heart, walk with her, and get the perception of life in a extraordinary life experience. Novels can easily expand psychological narrative. TV series is not. It promotes narrative through scenes and characters' conversations and actions. All the inner play requires the audience to make up through the actor's performance. In this regard, the solution of the TV series is to change the single -person single -person wearing in the novel to double wear. Whether it is Lin Daixi and Huajuan through the cheese world, work hard for the common goals, or to wear one of Lin Daixi and Pei, because the goals are different in games and competition, the interaction between characters has increased. Essence

This is not the case. The real differences between novels and TV series lies in their understanding of the parallel world. The novel understands the parallel world like this- "If everyone's life is a growing tree. Then with the growing up, everyone has the time and space of each person growing up. Generally, the dense branches are growing, and some branches continue to extend and stretch, and some are no longer upward, and gradually annihilated. If the real world is the main trunk, all the parallel spaces will continue to extend, and you don’t know what to grow. There is a branch. "This means that for Lin Daixi, there is only one self, and every time she goes, it means that a new glass of water falls into the old cup and obtained. self. The TV series does not watch that at all.

The flag of the TV series clearly proposes that blood and genes cannot determine themselves at all, and a person's experience determines who he is. In other words, there is no excellent self, and self is constructed. This means that in every parallel world, there is a different self. In this way, the TV series successfully transformed a personalist narrative into a philosophical narrative, that is, when you have the opportunity to face a world that is more comfortable and more in line with your inner needs, you choose to stop and occupy others. —— Even if this one is another one, he is still back to your own world. This question is not so easy to answer for genius or ordinary people.

When Lin Daixi and Huajuan first passed through, the answer was simple. Lao Lin fainted in the hospital and waited for Lin Daixi to go back; the flower roll was a traffic star in the strawberry world, and in the cheese world is an unreliable orphan, both of them had to return to the strawberry world without hesitation. This is why the first 9 episodes of the TV series are not much different from the novel. By the time through the second trip, the difficulty increased. For Pei Zhi, in the world of strawberries, his father died unexpectedly. He lived with his mother who had a bad body and could not extricate himself in the past. He had suffered from mental illness and had to give up mathematics.

In the cheese world, he is just a middle school student, his parents are alive, and the family is harmonious. The more you attach to the warmth of the family, the more he wants to stay in the cheese world, the more he does not have to accept the poison of the strawberry world. Lin Daixi is different. At the beginning, she knew very well that she had to return to the world of strawberries. Especially when she accidentally discovered the existence of strawberry forests, this idea was even stronger. In her opinion, this world belongs to strawberry forests. She is willing to help strawberry forests to tuition homework in the way of video, instead of occupying the Strawberry Forest Forest in the deep consciousness, occupying her life with peace of mind. As a result, Pei Zhi and Lin Daixi fought each other, hoping to achieve their own wishes. The drama that loves each other is always the best, especially the duel of genius and ordinary people.

However, in my opinion, whether Pei Zhi wrote a game of automatic play chess games with the world of strawberries as a blueprint, or Lin Daixi stole the game code and uploaded it to the Internet, it seemed less "genius". After Lin Daixi sacrificed a big move, Pei Zhi suddenly realized that the father of the cheese world was not really his father, and his life was still in the world of Strawberry. In this game, Lin Daixi made a city.

The most difficult is the third time. This time, the opposite of cheese Pei went through the world of strawberries. Pei Zhi, the world of cheese world, unlocked P = NP with his genius and Lao Lin, and achieved secular success, but he missed the strawberry forests that he had encountered in his childhood. He is talented to prepare, walk through the world of strawberries, and wants to exchange life with Strawberry Pei. For Lin Daixi, this is the most difficult choice.

She stayed safely in her world and was surrounded by the people she loved. The past problems no longer bother her. More importantly, cheese Pei Zhizhi issued difficult conditions for rejection. If he was left, he would write a argument for P = NP, which can save Lao Lin who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. What a hearty world will be. For the TV series, if the end is over, it will also usher in a happy reunion. Fortunately, the creator of the TV series did not compromise. Lin Daixi followed her logic. She gave her answer- "I want to face my life." Yes, no one's life is perfect.

Drinking through the world, imagining the imperfections of a parallel world to change life, this is the behavior of cowardly people."Really warriors, dare to face the bleak life, dare to face up to the dripping blood." This is really the highlight of the TV series, and it is also the latest definition of "genius".In the TV series "Genius Basic Law", Pei Zhi is not a genius, and Lin Daixi, who is firm in each time he chooses himself.This is probably another interpretation of the main creative personnel of the TV drama on "the consistent efforts, unsure of life. The small accumulation every day will determine the final result".By the way, whether it is a reader who is in line with the book, or the audience who is thinking about the brisk theme song, we will ask about ourselves, how far we are from genius.
