For those who have to stay local to spend the Spring Festival holiday, there is one movie worthy expecting. It is A Writer's Odyssey.
对于春节期间原地过年的大伙儿，有一部春节档大片值得期待，那就是《刺杀小说家》。
Adapted from writer Shuang Xuetao's novel with the same title, the film tells the story of a father who ventures into danger in order to find his daughter, who has been missing for six years.
这部影片改编自作家双雪涛的同名小说，讲述了一个父亲为了寻找失踪六年的女儿，不惜挺身涉险。
The original novel is not long, as it takes me around an hour to finish the reading. It recounts a man struggling with poverty accepts a crazy mission, which assigns him to assassinate a novelist, for obtaining a huge amount of money. Despite sounding fantastic and incredibale, the fictional world penned by the novelist is affecting a tycoon's real life, so the tycoon decides to hire the man to kill the novelist.
原小说并不长，大概花一个小时就能阅读完。在小说中，有一个潦倒的男子，为了一笔巨额赏金，接受了一个奇特的任务——去刺杀一个小说家，因为这个小说家正在写作的故事，已经严重影响到一个富豪的现实人生。
Director Lu Yang, known for the popular martial arts franchise Brotherhood of Blades, recalls that he was hooked up the story as which tells a man's desperate attempt to face off "a powerful world" just in order to reunite with the most important person in his life.
因系列电影《绣春刀》而名满江湖的路阳导演，曾透露当他在2016年时刚读到这本小说时，就被深深吸引住了。他被小说中主人公为所爱之人，不惜和整个世界“逆向而行”的勇气和信念感动了。
But he also realized shooting the film will be a challenging job as which needs to visualize the fictional "Yi World" ruled by Chi Fa Gui (red-hair ghost), depicted as a tyrannous deity who creates chaos and conflicts.
但他也意识到，拍摄这部影片将工程浩大。影片最具挑战的部分，来自于视觉化呈现小说家笔下那个虚幻的异世界。在那里，一个名叫赤发鬼的残暴天神以万物为刍狗，从喧嚣混乱中谋取私利。
With a ground-breaking try to employ state-of-art technologies such as motion capture, the film has recruited hundreds of artists to take two and a half years on making more than 2,000 special-effect shots, establishing a fantasy world ruling by Chi Fa Gui (red-hair ghost), a tyrannous deity.
为了拍出这样的奇观，影片运用了不少先进的技术，其中有些在国内算得上“吃螃蟹”的尝试。在长达两年半的时间里，有数百名制作师全力投入，制作了2000多个特效镜头。
With a stellar cast, the film casts actor Lei Jiaying as the father, Dong Zijian as the novelist in real life and a fearless young man in the fictional world, as well as actress Yang Mi as the tycoon's most trusted employee who delivers the assassination mission.
在影片里，雷佳音饰演那个寻找女儿的父亲。董子健一人分饰两角，现实中他是那个郁郁不得志的小说家，而在异世界里，他是一个勇敢无畏的少年。杨幂饰演一个老板的忠实打手，也是向雷佳音发出指示，让他去“刺杀”董子健的“幕后黑手”。
Actor Guo Jingfei reveals in an early trailer that he had spent six hours every day to put on heavy makeup to play two roles, respectively Lao Seng (old monk) and Hei Jia (black suit of armour).
郭京飞则扮演了老僧和黑甲两个角色，一个满脸皱纹，另一个造型是一副战斗值爆表的“黑色盔甲”。为了呈现老僧的造型，郭京飞要上妆6个多小时，也颇为辛苦。
It is perhaps too early to predict feedbacks from common audience and diehard fans. But for me, the most riverting part of this story is that it displays the novelist's respect to the power of words and his attempt to seek justice in the fictional world which he couldn’t get in the real world.
不管这部影片最后将有怎样的呈现，最终将在影迷的江湖里掀起怎样的风浪。对我而言，这个故事最令人目眩神迷之处，是写作者对于文字力量的尊崇，是写作者在一个刀光剑影、血雨腥风的奇异世界里，完成对现实人生的愤愤不平和快意恩仇。
When director Lu announced he would adapt the fantasy story into a film, many fans felt confused as they believe Lu's interest contrated on martial arts tales. But I believe the new film has shared a bit of similarities with the Brotherhood of Blades films, which explore the complexity of humanity in a turbulent dynasty ruled by an unmerciful monarch. Probably, the director wants to use the new story to convey a message that he is incapable to tell in the Brotherhood of Blades films.
也许，对许多人来说，路阳突然去拍这样一部另类的片子，有些奇怪。而对我而言，有了《绣春刀》里“人间炼狱”的挣扎和洗礼，我更能理解导演想借用这样一个故事，去完成他在现实世界里难以呈现的阐述。
