Inside the Ming Pao President’s Office.
At this time, Jin Yong, a literary giant and a master in martial arts novels, was slowly opening the briefcase and pouring out two things from it. One of them was his novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Jin Yong opened it in surprise and found that it was his signature book. If I remember it well, this was a limited edition signature version specially set when he released his new book many years ago. It was mainly to give back to those book fans who liked him. At that time, because of the limited number, he did not even keep it. Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw it today.
When people get older, they like nostalgia.
The same is true for Jin Yong. When he saw this book, he thought of the time he worked hard when he wrote the article.
In order to write this book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I searched through all the libraries in Hong Kong, just to find the history of Dali and the historical background of the book. At that time, I was even unwell in the hospital for a long time to write the book, so I had to go abroad for medical treatment, claiming to be "traveling" to the outside world; and I handed over this book to my old friend Ni Kuang to continue writing.
Ni Kuang is really amazing. He insisted on writing the old lady in her 80s in Tianshan Tonglao as a teenage monster. It can be said that he changed his martial arts novel directly into science fiction novels. After he came back from abroad, he was amused and laughed, but he had no choice because he had already published it.
In order to regain reputation, I had to work overtime to help Ni Kuang "justify his own opinions". Those days were so hard, I racked my brains and couldn't do it, but fortunately I survived it.
Although he has already won both fame and fortune, and has been managed by a huge newspaper agency, deep down, Jin Yong is still quite attached to the days when he was full of energy.
The reason why people struggle is to climb to the top;
When you reach the peak, you will miss the scenery when you climb.
Jin Yong's heart was waving with this signature book, and his hands were even shaking slightly. This made He Mina, who was standing beside him, puzzled. She didn't quite understand why Mr. Cha was so excited about a book.
"Mr. Cha, there is still a manuscript here." He Mina handed the things in her hand to Jin Yong.
Jin Yong put down the book. He took the manuscript and opened it. It turned out to be a newly written novel. The name is "The Legend of the Ancient Sword".
Jin Yong thought for a while and suddenly said, "This name is so familiar. Who is the person outside?"
"Dog Zihao---the one who once played the role of 'Murong Fu'." He Mina said.
Jin Yong smiled, "No wonder. It turned out to be him. I wrote an article and praised him, but I didn't expect that he changed his script to a novel..."
"Is this adapted from the script?" He Mina was surprised.
Jin Yong smiled, "Don't you never read entertainment news? Duan Zihao was about to start filming this movie, but was dismissed. Unexpectedly, he wrote it into a book now..."
He Mina's pretty face turned red and said, "I don't care about the news in the entertainment industry, I think it's boring."
Jin Yong smiled again and said, "Sometimes, those who do newspapers should pay attention to everything. Instead of choosing whether they like it or not..."
He Mina said "um" softly and shut up.
Jin Yong has begun to carefully read Duan Zihao's novels.
By the way, in Hong Kong, the script was adapted into a novel. There were not many examples of popularity, but few were the most famous ones. The most famous one was "The Legend of Silkworms" filmed by Yuan Li's TV. Because of the ratings, the TV station had to respond to the request of the general public and invited Huang Ying, a fast gunman in the martial arts world, to write the TV script into a novel and published it. Huang Ying himself became famous with this book. However, the premise of this successful example is that many Hong Kong viewers have watched the TV series "The Legend of Silkworms" so they are so popular. Now, whether "The Legend of Silkworms" written by Duan Zihao can create the myth of "The Legend of Silkworms" again. It is hard to predict.
At this moment, Jin Yong carefully looked at the manuscript of "The Legend of Ancient Sword" in his hand.
Next to it, the female secretary He Mina prepared tea while quietly waiting for Jin Yong's reply.
As a literary giant, Jin Yong can be said to be a successful author, but successful authors often have an unwritten rule, that is, they must be successful readers. When they read books, they will not read things like ordinary young people. When they read books, they are very careful and serious, thinking about the meaning of each sentence while reading, and thinking about the thoughts and feelings that writers want to express. Therefore, successful writers read books very slowly.
As the female secretary, He Mina has been by Jin Yong for a long time and knows this very well, so although Jin Yong has been watching it for almost ten minutes, she still stayed by her side and said nothing, fearing that she would disturb the other party.
After a long time, Jin Yong breathed a sigh of relief, put down the book, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then said, "The novel is well written, and it has a very fairy sword style. I remember that I used to like watching "Shushan Swordsman". This novel actually made me feel the same way I used to get back..."
Jin Yong has not had many comments, but just a few words may be just ordinary to outsiders, but only He Mina knows that Mr. Cha has never commented like this.
You should know that as a literary giant and a master of martial arts world, many authors who like to write martial arts novels will take manuscripts to ask him for advice.
Often, Jin Yong cherishes his words like gold, and only gives people eight words of evaluation. "It still needs to be tempered and continue to work hard", or "you can publish and continue to work hard."
But this is definitely the first time that such an evaluation, especially the sentence "I regained the feeling I had in the past", which is even more profound.
Let me ask, can this kind of novel be worse if it can help the martial arts masters regain their sense of immersion when they are studying?
"Is that so good?" He Mina really couldn't believe that little stars like Duan Zihao could write a good story. In her eyes, most of the celebrity actors are people with low cultural qualities and have not read books for a few years, and they have nothing to do with cultural people.
Jin Yong smiled, but did not answer, just said, "Has he been waiting outside for a long time? Let him come in. The young man is quite patient."
He Mina stopped talking and left the office, but saw Duan Zihao sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette.
He Mina originally hated those men who like to smoke the most. In her opinion, those men were like big smokers, which not only polluted the environment, but also attracted a lot of annoyance.
But the way Duan Zihao was smoking in front of her made her stunned. She saw Duan Zihao sitting gracefully on the chair, holding a cigarette in one hand, putting her body motionless. Her eyes were covered with a hint of melancholy, as if she was thinking about something. The smoke from the cigarette butts floated away, giving people a sculptural visual impact.
Although He Mina doesn't like men smoking, she has seen many men smoking. But in my impression, no one looks so handsome.
Can you say that a handsome person is handsome and smoking?
He Mina immediately stopped her misleading and shook her head.
Duan Zihao was smoking a cigarette and waiting for news. When he saw He Mina coming out, he was about to ask, but he saw her staring at her in a daze, then biting her lip and shaking her head, looking very strange. So he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and swaying in front of her, "Miss He, what's wrong with you?"
He Mina suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "Mr. Cha wants to see you."
Duan Zihao said "Oh" and looked at her curiously, then pushed the door and entered the office.
He Mina was deeply relieved afterwards. She really didn't understand why she was always distracted today?
"Mina, Mina, should you see a psychiatrist?"
...
When Duan Zihao entered the office, he saw Jin Yong, a literary giant sitting upright on the boss’s chair at first sight.
It looks the same as what Duan Zihao thinks. It has big ears and is very rich. The most important thing is that it looks very righteous.
If a martial arts novel is too vulgar, the novel will not become grand. As the saying goes, people are as good as their names and books are as good as theirs.
Just when Duan Zihao was looking at Jin Yong, Jin Yong was also looking at Duan Zihao. His first impression was that this guy was very handsome and probably had a lot of love debts on him.
In addition to being good at writing martial arts novels, Jin Yong was very knowledgeable about astrology and numerology and Buddhism. Therefore, when looking at people, he couldn't help but treat it as "seeing photos".
Just as Jin Yong looked at Duan Zihao's face and nodded secretly, Duan Zihao stepped forward politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Cha, I am Duan Zihao."
"Haha, of course I recognize you. You are the 'Murong Fu' in my book." Jin Yong said kindly. "You acted well, better than what I wrote."
"Mr. Cha praised it, I still need to continue to work hard."
"Please sit down, you're welcome. It's best not to be restrained when you come here." Jin Yong signaled Duan Zihao to sit down.
Then he said, "I feel sorry for you when I waited for a long time. I have read all the two things you handed me... I didn't expect that you actually have my signature book in your collection. It seems that we are really destined to be together."
Duan Zihao smiled without being humble and arrogant, and said, "I usually like to read Mr.'s masterpieces. Flying snow and shooting white deer in the sky, and laughing at the god of the laughing book, Biyuan, I have read almost every book many times. I feel that the more I read those books, the more interesting they are. At first I was attracted by the storyline and martial arts scenes, and later I learned that there are many methods and purposes for doing things. This has benefited me a lot. Therefore, I would like to say thank you here in particular!"
Duan Zihao's words are absolutely accurate and sufficient, so that literary giants like Jin Yong are actually a little arrogant.
Just imagine, as a literati, in addition to hoping that his books will be best-selling, the most important thing is to leave stories, inspire, encourage and help others. Only such works can be called classics, rather than popular reading materials that sell money.
Jin Yong was obviously very happy, so he asked He Mina to have tea and talk to the young man in detail.
About four or five minutes later, Jin Yong was still unsatisfied and felt that he was very good at the young man. No matter how he talked about everything from all over the world, he could answer the questions.
Of course, during this period, Jin Yong was interested in taking the school exam to see how deep the young man had, but the more he took the school exam, the more he felt that the other party was a little mysterious or unfathomable.
Jin Yong was surprised. He really didn't understand how the young man in front of him understood so many things, which was completely inconsistent with his age.
How could Jin Yong know that Duan Zihao is a "experienced person" and has more knowledge from his contemporaries for thirty or forty years, so he can handle it with ease. If it were someone else, he would have probably been asked a few random questions by Jin Yong and would have surrendered long ago.
At this time, not to mention that Jin Yong was vaguely surprised by Duan Zihao's "foundation", even He Mina, who was pouring tea and water as a female secretary, couldn't help but look at Duan Zihao with admiration.
