Sullivan and the Legacy of Shadows Chapter 58

After returning from Shanghai, Ran Lin first read the script of "Mint Green" and made some brief notes. Then, he did not rush to study it in detail, but instead found the original novel to read.

The novel "Mint Green" is not too long, with a total of 170,000 words. Unlike the nostalgic campus themes that are popular on the big screen, this novel is set in the present, with the restlessness and loss unique to the era of information explosion, as well as the self-esteem, bravery and openness of the new generation of young people.

The main plot of the story is love, but it does not avoid the various drawbacks of current education, as well as the impact of family and society on young people who are not well-versed in the world. The realistic creation of environmental details makes this love line more delicate and textured. After reading the whole story, it is more like a period of self-growth than love. It does not whitewash the truth or complain without reason. It simply presents the true appearance of youth, allowing readers, especially the younger generation of readers, to resonate strongly.

The author writes well and the screenwriter also has a good grasp of the story. The most essential parts of the novel are extracted in the script. One is the sweet and slightly sour first love, and the other is the courage to face the future. The former is delicate, and the latter is passionate. What's more rare is that the screenwriter also added some particularly clever and fitting humor to the script, which does not overshadow the main plot, but is more like a few beautiful little waves.

When reading the script, Ran Lin only felt that it was a very interesting story. After reading the novel, he finally understood why the novel was so popular. But when he read the novel and looked back at the script, it had a different flavor. This was the only thing. Only then can you feel how solid and beautiful the book is.
