George Martin rushed to write A Song of Ice and Fire during self isolation, how did this work beco

A classic is a collection of routines or forms, or simply a creator of a routine and a writing form, let's see if there are similar ones in European and American dramas before "A Song of Ice and Fire"? Rarely, fantasy is there, but not so cruel.

In "A Song of Ice and Fire", at first we thought it was the protagonist's wolf family, but at the end of the first season, the boss of the wolf family died, and he was beheaded to death, so we thought that this drama was about how the children of the wolf family turned over the rain and clouds on this continent, and the result was.

followed by the eldest son of the wolf family, and the mother of the wolf family, and the daughter-in-law and child with the eldest son, who was pregnant women, and was directly wiped out.

When I first watched it, I even thought that this was not an ordinary American drama, although it was a war drama, but there were also a lot of good and beautiful places, not bad, but the end of this episode was immediately reversed, and the beauty of the previous wedding formed a strong reversal, a 180-degree turn, and the wolf family's greatest hope died directly.

This red wedding is an amazing plot in "A Song of Ice and Fire", so amazing that I don't dare to rewatch it, because it's so depressing, who would have thought about it.

And then there is a written test later, the character of the red viper we all look like a character, very powerful, even the magic mountain can't beat him, and because of the blood feud since childhood, he wants to make the magic mountain pay the price, so he forced the magic mountain to admit his mistake.

Until this time, we all think it's reasonable, there's nothing wrong with it, the red viper is a hero, an unruly hero, and as a result, he was killed by the magic mountain to the limit, turned over and pressed his eyes directly to explode his whole head, yes, you read that right, he directly pressed his head to explode, the same as a watermelon.

This kind of abnormal work is as anti-traditional as the anti-knight ** of "Don Quixote", and it is naturally successful.

I think the main reason why A Song of Ice and Fire can become a classic** is because it has a very large and complete world view, as well as very rich and delicate characters.

With this work, it contains his good wishes in real life, and some imagination of many surreal societies, and many scenes described in the book also make many people yearn for it.

The main thing is that the plot is interlocking, there is no repetition or procrastination, the person who is going to die will die, and he will not be resurrected or play tricks, and he feels very cool and deep after reading it. That's why it's a classic.

The book "A Song of Ice and Fire" has actually been published since 1996, but now the TV series of "A Song of Ice and Fire" series has ended, but his ** has not yet been written. I think there are three reasons why Uncle Martin hasn't finished writing this book until now, and it has been delaying for so long.

One, the worldview of A Song of Ice and Fire is too grandiose

A Song of Ice and Fire tells the story that takes place in the continent of Westeros, with strange ghosts, dragons, different customs and cultures of the four continents, different spirits of hundreds of families, and so on. It resembles medieval European culture, but is markedly different from it. Therefore, in order to ensure the rigor of the **, Uncle Martin must consider every sentence he writes, the reasonableness of each story, and also establish the unique character traits of different characters.

This is actually a very difficult thing for the author to do.

Two, "A Song of Ice and Fire" took too long to write

Uncle Martin is 72 years old this year, as an old man, his thinking and memory are not as good as before, Uncle Martin has been writing "A Song of Ice and Fire" for more than 20 years now, many times when he wants to continue to write**, he will find that he has written the plot or dug the pit in **, even he doesn't remember, and then he goes to check the information or ask netizens, it takes a certain amount of time, and it also increases the difficulty of creation. So many times, we can often see him discussing the plot with netizens on social **.

Martin: "Did I mention xx?" ”

Netizen: "Mentioned, in paragraph x of chapter x." ”

Third, netizens' expectations are too high, and the TV series has also affected the creation

A Song of Ice and Fire's spin-off TV series "Game of Thrones" has become a hit all over the world, and it has received countless people's attention as a divine drama. But what is very embarrassing is that now that the TV series has been filmed, and the plot has completely detached itself from the ** that has not yet been updated, the last season of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is generally considered by netizens to be too shoddy and unfinished, resulting in a bad ending, so many people put their hopes on Uncle Martin, hoping that Uncle Martin can give us a more perfect ending. And this also invisibly puts pressure on Uncle Martin, and there are many authors who are usually unable to finish writing because of such pressure.

In fact, there are too many things to end in the end, and there was a lot of foreshadowing in the plot back then, and now it has to be filled in slowly, which is also a test for a writer himself. So it has been delayed for a long time, and I started to sort out the previous plot and continue literary creation while I couldn't go out during the epidemic.

For him, his physical condition is not too good. In the case of quarantine, there is only one employee to take care of him. It may affect his creative work as well as his work mood.

Martin's work is not many, not prolific, and scattered across subgenres. But, in fact, every one of his books, and even every individual **, is loved and sought after by readers. This is due first to his genius, the inimitable ability to use words to control human nature with ease, and secondly, to the "Martinian" style of writing that he has developed, similar to reporting, but mixed with variables, like blank drawings, but mixed with emotions.

Therefore, under the condition that the rhetorical skills are not very strong, the reader can be firmly driven and controlled with wholeness, agitation, suspense and thinking.

Although his achievements are not particularly outstanding in the world of fantasy literature, they are heavy and weighty. More importantly, while his predecessors have become history, George R. R. Martin is at his most glorious and rising moment, and endless records and futures await him.

Undoubtedly, George Martin is a widely accepted writer.

George Martin rushed to write "A Song of Ice and Fire" during the quarantine, and there are many famous authors who like to drag it out: 01Yoshihiro Tomiyasu and Ryu Tanigawa. 02.Kanzaki Purple Den. 03.Three slags.

, the representative work isTanigawa RyuWritten yes"Suzumiya Haruhga Series"., in the top 10 for four consecutive years. As soon as it was promoted, it was very popular.,The protagonist in it is not interested in the ordinary daily life.,So he established the magical SOS club.。 This delay is because he wants to play mahjong with Yoshihiro Fujian, which is a very practical reason.

AuthorThree slags. 。His works "Ghost Shouting and Catching Ghosts" and "Thriller Paradise" wrote a little, so he found a reason to delay the change, and he was proud of it.

Nominate Gangnam! Jiangnan's "Dragon Family" has dragged on so far! I'm in college, and he hasn't started writing yet! I think it's a lot of procrastination, maybe it's really tiring to write.

The famous author who likes to drag more is also the silkworm potato, when he wrote the ending of "The Great Juggernaut", it dragged on for nearly half a year.

The Tang family has three young and silkworm potatoes like to drag more. Silkworm Potato's representative works include "Breaking the Firmament" and "Martial Arts", he delayed for a period of time for various reasons when he was **, and was complained by many book fans.

George Martin was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2011. And George Martin's representative work "A Song of Ice and Fire" is his pinnacle work. Readers from all over the world have given a lot of praise to this work, and many of its author's friends have not hesitated to praise it.

Ann McCorferry, the original author of "Dragon Era", once commented, "This is really a wonderful fantasy historical drama." My eyes are falling out! Such an exaggerated evaluation just proves the charm of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

The work depicts a delicate and realistic world with lifelike characters, and the plot is intricate, but well-organized. It is such a complex plot that is interlocking and interesting, so it can catch the reader's attention even more. <>

But behind every successful person, there is always a bitter story that no one knows, and so is George Martin. George Martin was born in a family that was not well-off, just a family of dock workers in the United States. In his childhood, George Martin's range of activities was not extensive, and the route of activities has always been home and school, so George Martin has a great yearning for the outside world.

But his family's financial situation was not supportive, so he relied on his imagination and the knowledge in books to satisfy his yearning and longing for the outside world. <>

Later, George Martin was admitted to Northwestern University, Illinois, one of the best institutions of higher learning in the United States at the time. George Martin was majoring in journalism at the time, and he earned his bachelor's degree followed by a master's degree in 1971. George Martin got a job teaching English and journalism at Clark University, and for a while he was happy with his situation.

However, he later quit his job as a teacher due to some things and began to write articles full-time. <>

Although George Martin's road to fame was not easy, he still managed to create the fantasy masterpiece "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Because when "Game of Thrones" ends, people will be soberly aware that "Game of Thrones" and the original "A Song of Ice and Fire" are already two different works, and "Game of Thrones" has been created off the script since the middle of the year, so the ending is not Mr. Martin's idea, and the end of the TV series does not indicate that this is Mr. Martin's failure.

But it is precisely because this drama is already difficult to write in the end, so Mr. Martin has been delaying the draft for so many years, there is no way, the initial pattern is too big, it is difficult to take it back, every story, every place has its own story, it is a story that can be sung and cried, if it develops according to their respective personalities, it is difficult to develop.

If it's realistic, it's okay, because reality is sometimes much more illogical than **, for example, Guan Yu was defeated by Lu Meng and died in Maicheng, if it is, I believe that there will be many people who say that this is a failure, saying that the author Luo Guanzhong is not Jiang Lang's end, how can he write this kind of garbage.

But because the reality is like this, a big hero like Guan Yu actually died like this, and he will actually die? It doesn't matter if Guan Yu is dead, you Zhang Fei died even more wretched, and was actually killed by his subordinates, aren't you a bad ending, how can you write like this, give me the pen and I will write it, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must unify the world.

So the difficulty of the old man Martin is to write ** to talk about logic, if you continue to talk about logic, saying that strong force means that you will not die, then you can't write it, Er Ya is now a nearly invincible assassin, but won't Er Ya die? How many fans of Erya have about Erye? Guan Erye is so dead that Erya can't die?

The TV series is over, many people say that the TV series is bad, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Martin, after all, there is no such crew here to rush the draft, Mr. Martin can continue to write slowly at his own pace, even if he can't finish writing in the end, it's okay, after all, the world has been built.

Because if he wants to change ** into a TV series, he needs to perform the author, which is very time-consuming and laborious. And when the TV series is over, the author of ** can calm down and continue to conceive a new** plot.

Because he is older now, it is also very uncomfortable to face such a bad reality now, and he thinks that the end of the TV series is an end, and it is also a better way for him to get out.

Because if it doesn't end, now I have to think about whether the TV series is different from **, and whether the plot has to be readjusted. For a writer, revising a TV series, especially his own works, is the hardest and most tiring. This end is also a relief.

Later, at the end of 1977, his writer friend Tom Remy died of a heart attack, which touched him greatly. George Martin began to re-examine himself, to know himself, and he realized that what he was really passionate about was writing, not teaching. Later, coupled with the fact that his wife didn't like Dubuque's cold winters, George Martin quit his teaching job and began writing A Song of Ice and Fire full-time.
