Commercial Radio Hong Kong is located in Lai Chi Kok in the northwest of the Kowloon Peninsula, administratively under the Sham Shui Po District, originally known as a Hakka dialect called Rudijiao, interpreted as the footprints on the beach of Tongzi, and later Yahua into Lai Chi Kok.

Speaking of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, Fok Yaowen couldn't help but think of last year's "Binbin" incident, a radio host of "Big Husband's Diary" Binbin and his cousin Lin Guanghai were on their way to work by a group of lawless thugs on the street and burned to death, which can be described as a sensation in Hong Kong, so that the whole Hong Kong people saw the true face of these rioters, and also led to last year's riot quickly subsided in a short period of time.

On the way back to the Kowloon Peninsula with Liu Weidong by boat, Liu Weidong took the initiative to mention the matter: "Huo Sheng, you should know about the Binbin incident last year. ”

"Heard a little. Huo Yaowen pursed his lips, he also learned about this from the memory of the original owner.

"Alas, it's a pity Binbin, I've always listened to his radio "Big Husband's Diary". ”

Liu Weidong sighed, Binbin can be said to be a well-known pillar of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, and his accent is the most standard, but every time he broadcasts, he will inevitably cause many people to listen, and he can be said to be one of the best hosts in the radio station, and it is a pity that he died so tragically.

Huo Yaowen glanced at Liu Weidong, who was standing beside him, and he didn't know what to say, he didn't know much about the host Binbin, but the original owner had read relevant newspaper reports in his memory.

Liu Weidong may have noticed that Huo Yaowen didn't want to discuss this topic too much, so he laughed dryly, and then didn't say anything.

The two came to the Kowloon Pier without saying a word, and then took the car to Lai Chi Kok again.

...

Kowloon, Sham Shui Po District, Lai Chi Kok.

As soon as Huo Yaowen got out of the car, he saw a five-story commercial building across the street, with a huge antenna transmitter installed on the top floor.

"Huo Sheng is going this way. Liu Weidong led Huo Yaowen towards the inside of the commercial radio station.

Soon, the two arrived at the commercial radio headquarters on the fifth floor.

The girl at the front desk at the door, when she saw someone coming in, immediately stood up and asked, "Hello sir, who are you looking for?"

"We're looking for Director He. Liu Weidong said with a smile.

"Director He, I don't know your surname, do you have an appointment? ”

"My surname is Huo, and I made an appointment with Director He yesterday to meet today. ”

The girl glanced at the worksheet in her hand, then nodded, made a phone call and asked inside, before she walked out of the front desk, came to the two and said, "Two gentlemen, please come with me." ”

Following the girl at the front desk, Huo Yaowen looked at the inside of the commercial radio station, which was similar to an ordinary office room, densely filled with more than 20 tables in the hall, and people came and went, each of them was busy.

When the three of them came to the door of an office with a director's sign, the girl knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock"

For a moment, I heard someone in the house shouting, "Come in." ”

Then the girl opened the door and did not go in, but only sent the two of them in at the door, and then closed the door and ran to the pantry to make tea.

He Zuozhi, who was sitting on the boss's chair in the house, after seeing Liu Weidong, swept his eyes to Huo Yaowen beside him, and saw that the other party was a little different from the fictional figure in his mind, but he still stood up with a smile, walked over quickly and said, "Mr. Liu, this is Huo Sheng!"

"Yes. Liu Weidong nodded, and before he could take the initiative to introduce, Huo Yaowen took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Director He." ”

"Hello Huo Sheng, hello. ”

He Zuozhi shook hands with Huo Yaowen with a smile, looked at the other party's rather young and handsome appearance, and grinned and said: "I always thought that the author who could write "Ghost Blows the Lantern --- Notes on Tomb Robbery" must be a person of some age and rich experience, but I didn't expect Huo Sheng to be so young, he is really a hero. ”

Director He was polite. Huo Yaowen smiled.

For Director He in front of him, Huo Yaowen also knows a thing or two, when he wrote the script "Hong Kong 1968" of the Internet University, when he collected Hong Kong information from the 60s to the 80s, he also deliberately checked some well-known figures at that time.

He Zuozhi in front of him is a very dramatic person.

He Zuozhi was born in 1918, his father is the famous Hong Kong gentry He Dong, as the illegitimate son of He Dong, the richest man in Hong Kong at the time, He Zuozhi's life can be described as ups and downs, no less than the male protagonist in the novel.

He studied at King's College in Hong Kong as a child, and later graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and after returning to Hong Kong, he worked as a clerk in the property management company of his father, Ho Tung.

Later, he was not satisfied with the status quo, and once co-founded with others as an agent for foreign wine, cameras, household appliances and other companies.

Until 1956, when Ho Tung died, Ho Zuozhi got an inheritance of tens of thousands of yuan from the Ho family's big house, and co-founded the Macau Green Estate Radio Station with Macau business tycoon Sir Lo Po.

Later, in 1959, he sold all the shares of the Green Estate Radio Station to Sir Law Bao, and with double the money, he partnered with Law Man-wai, a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council, to bid for the Hong Kong Commercial Radio.

Until now, Hong Kong Commercial Radio is one of the most well-known radio stations in Hong Kong, and its daily listening rate far exceeds that of the other two radio stations.

In the future, that is, in 1975, He Zuozhi will also invest and partner with others to enter the TV industry, and open the Jiayi TV station that has only lived for a few years and has become a must-invest in many Hong Kong entertainment novels.

...

At that time, the little girl at the front desk came in with two cups of tea, and He Zuozhi took the opportunity to beckon the two to sit down on the sofa lounge area in the office.

After the little girl at the front desk left, He Zuozhi said: "Huo Sheng, I think I want to find you here this time, you should have guessed a thing or two." ”

Gently blew the hot tea, and after cooling it down a little, Huo Yaowen took a sip, and when he heard He Zuozhi's words, he put down the teacup and said, "Is it for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"That's right, our commercial radio station wants to get the radio broadcast rights of Huo Sheng's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”

He Zuozhi said bluntly: "I have also read Huo Sheng's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the story in it is full of ups and downs, and the plot of tomb robbery can be described as fascinating, especially the extremely detailed description of some tomb robbery tools and tomb robbery techniques, I think if it is made into the form of a radio drama and broadcast on commercial radio, it will definitely arouse great interest among the Hong Kong public!"

"Radio drama. ”

Huo Yaowen was slightly stunned, he thought that why Zuozhi was just thinking about winning the right to broadcast novels on the radio station and find someone to broadcast them to the audience on the radio every day, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to make his novel into a radio drama.

A radio drama is more like a stage play without a picture than an audio novel-like broadcast on the radio.

In addition to the content of the novel broadcast by professionals, they will also deliberately use various props according to some objects recorded in the book to make similar sounds, such as the barking of horses and the barking of dogs.

To put it simply, it is based on character dialogue and commentary, and makes full use of musical accompaniment and sound effects to enhance the atmosphere.

In this way, the investment cost of radio dramas far exceeds that of audio novels, not only to buy some props to foley sound, but also to specially hire voice engineers to produce background sound effects that fit the plot of the novel.
