"’residual crime’ is a legal concept, which means hiding the crime that has not been confessed."
Chang Shuxin, the author of the original novel The Remaining Crime, which recently exploded, settled in Qinshui County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. This is a medium-sized county with a population of about 210,000. "Life in the county is very comfortable and traditional. Few people know that I am famous, only a few relatives and friends know that I am writing a book."
The second season of The Remaining Sin was originally scheduled to air on June 13th, and the writer, who lives in seclusion, was interviewed by The Paper in many ways that day. During the interview, Chang Shuxin told reporters that the second season was forced to start broadcasting one day ahead of schedule because of the outflow of piracy, which probably also blamed the "Remaining Crime" for being too hot.
Chang Shuxin
Personal experience: it is not a good person to have done bad things.
"Remaining Crime" describes the criminal psychology, the organizational structure of criminal gangs, criminal means and so on in a very specific way. Chang Shuxin said that this is because he spent a year in a detention center when he was young, had the experience of being a bad guy, and met many criminals who cheated and cheated. The way these people acted became the original source of the story. He laughed and said that nowadays "it is very embarrassing to become a celebrity from a bad person".
Chang Shuxin was born in 1975. At the age of 41, he often laughed heartily and had the magnanimity of an old Jianghu. He said that he rebelled against time and ganged up with others, making trouble and seriously lacking discipline. After failing the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen or nineteen, I felt that there was basically no place to go, so I thought about running to the south for a few months. As a result, the south is not so easy to mix, and it can’t be mixed, so it went to rob with people for a while.
Chang Shuxin has been reciting this criminal record for more than 20 years, and the mainstream society refused to accept it, so he lost many possibilities of "success" more easily. He admitted his regret and said that if he did it again, he would go to school, work and get married normally …
"That year, the detention center suddenly changed my life trajectory, but why did I make such a mistake at that time?" Chang Shuxin paused for a long time and continued, "Sometimes people are made by the environment. A child suddenly loses family support, and it is possible to do whatever it takes to solve the problem of survival." After one year’s reform, Chang Shuxin has been in contact with "bad guys" in the detention center, listened to stories told by "bad guys", fought with "bad guys" and even served as a jailer. When he came out, he said that his personality was not so simple.
"The criminal record inadvertently marginalizes people. Civil servants can’t take the exam, and the company is afraid to see you. I have done everything for my life, such as renting, selling vegetables, selling books, going underground, working as a stringing worker in a telecommunications company, and working as a regional agent for a newspaper." As for how he became the father of "residual sin"?
"Most of the online gods are forced out by mortgages," Chang Shuxin laughed. He said that he entered the net in 2008, when he was selling computers and had nothing to do in his spare time. Thinking that he could also tell stories, he entered the writing team with lower threshold as a net writer. But everything didn’t go so smoothly. His first work, Guys and Girls, was written to more than 600,000 words, but it was all free. At that time, he was depressed and felt that the whole world didn’t understand him. When he wrote 700,000 words, the work was finally signed. Chang Shuxin recalled that he sold 900 yuan in the first month of "selling words". At that time, he earned more than 1,000 yuan in a month’s work, and he earned 2,000 yuan in the second month. He looked very good. He thought it was easier to earn some money to pay off the mortgage than to work, and he has been writing about it ever since.
He claimed that his level was not high, and he liked Jin Gu Liang Wen’s martial arts novels, which was greatly influenced by Master Jin. When you encounter a creative bottleneck, stop and think about your previous hard life, and then you will feel confident again. Up to now, there have been novels "Guys and Girls" (3.05 million words) and "Beautiful Scenery" (1.6 million words), and his works "Blame" (3.05 million words, the film adaptation copyright has been sold), "Remaining Crime" (2.9 million words, the film adaptation copyright has been sold) and "Super Fool" (2 million words) have been created. Recently, he changed his real name to Chang Shuxin and is serializing the novel The Third Personality.
Chang Shuxin said that he was young and reckless. Fortunately, he got married at the age of 29 and married a good wife. Since then, he has become henpecked. Now his daughter is a sophomore, and two women in the family take him seriously. Every day, life is to pick up and drop off children, read novels and code words. "I have no status at home, haha, but I am very happy and satisfied."
Compared with his youth, Chang Shuxin called it "ordinary before" and was busy from beginning to end. People who have experienced transformation are ordinary people? He thought for a moment and said, "It’s been transformed into an ordinary person."

The online drama "Remaining Crime": The mouse is the most like my role.
The Remaining Crime originated from Chuangshi Chinese website, and was listed in simplified form in 2015, and the online drama was launched in 2016. Chang Shuxin scored 60 points for this work and barely passed. When asked who is the most admired character in the work, he gave an unexpected answer:
"The mouse, in fact, many of his characters are mine, which is my perspective. Among the boys who gagged, the mouse was the most grounded, so they were greedy and lustful. "
Why is it not the protagonist’s sin?
"The remaining crimes have the aura of the protagonist. I concentrate the excellent qualities of many policemen on him, with a sense of responsibility, family and justice. I generally don’t substitute myself for the protagonist, lest the novel become a tool for personal YY."
Speaking of residual crimes, Chang Shuxin has such a thorough interpretation of "residual crimes":
"First of all, the remaining crime is a legal term, which refers to the crime that the suspect has not confessed. This also symbolizes that every policeman in the work is actually guilty and has done things that are contrary to his profession. This is also the danger of the police profession, and it may be dangerous at all times. We see that the remaining crimes in the story are undercover. If you want to bring the criminals to justice, you have to do a lot of things that are actually illegal step by step.
"My definition of the character Yu sin is: the heart is just and the body is guilty.
"This is also the definition I gave to the police profession. The danger of this profession is often not the bullets, but the possibility of touching the red line at any time. However, the police have to touch the red line in order to safeguard justice and combat crime under special circumstances. Yu sin is such an ordinary policeman who is always at the crossroads. In fact, his description is a true portrayal of most policemen. They are always defending the justice of this society in ways that ordinary people don’t know and can’t understand.
"The promise of pushing Yu sin to the undercover position is that Yu sin has never been far away from the law and the persistence of his duties. And the beauty queen is his yearning for love. Of course, he didn’t get it in the end. Part of the remaining crime is that jurisprudence is Tao, and the other part is sin, and the source of sin is human nature, and uncontrollable greed is sin. "
Chang Shuxin said that he usually pays great attention to criminal investigation cases. The cases in the novels are basically based on real cases, and some of them are stories told by his police, such as the Wu Xiaolei case, which is a real case. The police have been chasing for 18 years and have not given up; For example, the murder case was a case in the neighboring city of his hometown in his early years, and these real criminals became the prototype of the story. "Reality is more exciting than novels. For example, after a murder case with a very bad nature, thousands of policemen couldn’t find criminals in carpet search. One of the policemen said that they couldn’t find it in the wild for several days. Did they fall into a dry well? So he drove a flock of sheep, and suddenly a sheep fell into the well, thus finding the criminals in the dry well. I think the most exciting thing about criminal investigation is not the result, but the process of finding the right direction in a thousand ways. "
Chang Shuxin said that although he now has some police friends who are fans of his own books, and even many of his classmates are policemen, he was worried when he first dealt with them. Now, his works are liked by many policemen. They think that the remaining crimes stand in a very fair angle, unlike the system that depicts the tall and arrogant, and does not blacken the image of the police. They have a great sense of identity.

IPAdaptation: I have no ambition
The Remaining Crime was launched in May, and it hit over 100 million in just 72 hours in the first season. Up to now, it has played 596 million times, and Douban scored 8.5. The reading volume of Weibo’s topic "The Remaining Crime of Super Online Drama" exceeded 450 million. Compared with the reading volume of 100,000 novels, Chang Shuxin said that she was "a little surprised with satisfaction". Chang Shuxin, the original author, did not participate in the script creation of Yu Sin. In 2013, the film adaptation right of Yu Sin was "sold at a low price" of 600,000 yuan. Since then, because of the risk of genre drama, the producers are not fully sure, so it has been delayed to launch. This year, Yu Sin unexpectedly broke out with great power, and even the paper book Yu Sin, which was published for one year, suddenly sold well, with sales reaching millions of yuan so far.
However, the fire of The Remnant Crime also ignited piracy. The leakage of the complete works in the second season was forced to go online in advance, and the number of broadcasts in three days has reached 165 million. The reason for the video leakage is still unknown.
Chang Shuxin was very angry about this outflow time, and cursed in Weibo: "Overflow of piracy ruined a rising online drama overnight. I believe today will be a difficult day for all those who participated in the writing, filming and distribution of Remaining Sin, because the fruits of everyone’s hard work have been stolen, and this loss may lead to the termination of Remaining Sin, and there will be no follow-up. In the plot, Yu Sin is not dead, but in reality, Yu Sin is dead. Sad! "
However, in an interview with reporters, Chang Shuxin said that she was angry at first, but now she is not angry, because the second season changed the original work too much. "In the second season, the main content of the novel was to arrest and investigate, and several brigades were used. tight encirclement successfully arrested criminals and caught the woman who finally found out that the ultimate boss was boss. This is a suspense that was uncovered step by step. However, the screenwriter changed the framework of the novel, leaving many scenes for people other than the protagonist and emotional scenes. In the original work, undercover was the only one who was guilty, and the TV series pulled all the students who were guilty into the undercover team. In fact, in the original work, the separation of the remaining crimes from the students left a traction for him to return to society. The screenwriter can’t round the thread after disassembling it, so from my original author’s point of view, the second season was ruined and the logic of the criminal investigation story was ignored. Some traditional screenwriters who are behind closed doors should have been hit by this kind of shock long ago, born of worry and died of happiness. The first half is about our net writers, and the second half is about them. "
Chang Shuxin thinks that the first season has changed well, and at the same time, he recognizes the long and arduous process of text film and television. "No matter good or bad, writers, directors and actors have worked hard, and I have no right to dictate, what’s more, the response is not bad. Even though the nature of this piracy outflow is very bad, we can still see that The Remaining Crime is popular. After all, many domestic dramas are not even qualified for the audience to watch piracy. What do you think of the 70-80 episodes? It’s just killing time for old people. But I think that after the second quarter, the previous high evaluation may decline. "
In fact, readers and audiences see the ingenuity of different creators from the online text "Remaining Crime" to the online drama "Remaining Crime". Of course, this heart may not be appreciated by all audiences. Yan Gongzi, who travels at night in Yi Jin, once spoke about the complex of the novel Yu Sin in Weibo: "I’ve been reading the book Yu Sin recently, and I’ve been shocked by the straight male author. For example, if the plot goes well, it will suddenly appear, and stallion male’s leading role is attractive to women’s honey juice. For example, the first girlfriend, because when doing undercover tasks, the hero touched her chest, and then she had feelings for the man. Later, she met a Bai Fumei, who raped her after drinking, and Bai Fumei, who was ready to report to the police, was raped and asked to do it again … "
Although it is a personal attitude, the objective reality is that the interest of online novels is different from that of film and television works. At the moment of IP explosion, the matching of original works and changing scripts has become a common weakness of online texts in the process of film and television, which is a problem in the production process. Should a screenwriter recast a script or write it according to a novel? Natural producers, original authors and even readers have different needs, and the current test method is only the market.
"It’s a pity that the second season of" Remaining Sin "is lost in logic, the relationship between characters can’t be controlled, and the details of crime promotion are also messed up. Originally, this story was called" Ming Mou and Dark War ",which wiped out all criminals overnight. Alas … now it can only be called" Idiots and Idiots ". The screenwriter should not have read the novel, but made it up by himself. The only thing to watch is Zray calling the bed. " Chang Shuxin sent such a Weibo after watching the second season of The Remaining Crime. He told reporters that he spoke highly of the actor Zray: "Once he became famous, he became a passerby, hahaha."
At the end of the interview, Chang Shuxin talked about his views on IP development. Unlike other online gods, he talked about this oilfield Kan Kan. He simply ended the topic in three or two sentences:
"In fact, I don’t quite understand what IP is. I live in a small county without feeling, and I have no ambition. If I have ambition, I won’t keep a low profile. And I don’t think ambition can achieve IP, which requires meditation. Shooting or not will not affect my previous creation, I only write stories. "
Why not participate in film and television creation and earn money from movies?
"Urban writing is no better than fantasy, which can be changed into a game. Now, in addition to the film and television copyrights that I sell, I only have the income of electronic reading, which is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month. To put it bluntly, it may be lower than those who write Xiao Huangwen. But I still don’t want to participate in film and television creation. People always have a choice. If you make money, you will go to work, and you will not be able to look at home. "
