222 [You come and go, compete to appear]
When it was almost time to eat at noon, Yao Wenjie sent someone to deliver Bruce Lee's letter to the Kyushu Magazine in Kowloon.
Huo Yaowen asked Lin Xiaotang, the editor-in-chief of Kyushu Magazine, to take Gu Long, Wolongsheng, and Chen Fan to find a restaurant nearby to eat first.
He himself sat in his office, opened the letter sent to him, and looked at ten lines, as he had expected, the general content of the letter was that Bruce Lee invited Huo Yaowen to go to the United States on the 11th of next month to participate in the mixed martial arts tournament co-hosted by ABC TV and Vince McMahon, vice president of the WWWF World Wrestling Federation.
"March 11th ......"
Putting down the envelope casually, Huo Yaowen touched his chin and calculated the time, he would accompany Anna to the United Kingdom in a few days, and it was not clear how long he would stay, but he thought that he should have enough time to go to the United States to participate in this mixed martial arts competition.
...
On the dining table in the restaurant box.
When Huo Yaowen arrived, Gu Long and the others had already drunk several bottles of liquor, and the whole house was full of the smell of wine, which didn't smell good, he couldn't help but shrug his nose and said with a smile: "I haven't arrived yet, you guys are almost drunk?!"
"The chairman is sitting here. Lin Xiaotang glanced at the visitor with a red face, got up and prepared to give up his seat to Huo Yaowen.
"No need, you sit here, Editor-in-Chief Lin, I'll sit there. ”
After Huo Yaowen shook his head and declined, he walked to Gu Long and sat down, and said to everyone with a smile: "You have almost drunk before I come?"
"This is just the beginning!" Wo Longsheng saw Huo Yaowen coming, and hurriedly got up and said, "Ah Wen, come and help us deal with Lao Xiong, he said that one person wants to drink and lie down seven or eight of us, which is too much to look down on people." ”
"Me, Hiccup...... I'm not talking about drinking all of you alone, I'm just talking about drinking you down. Gu Long's face was red at this time, and he was full of energy, and he couldn't help but burp when he opened his mouth to speak, he was too eager to drink just now, and he would inevitably be a little uncomfortable.
Wo Longsheng laughed: "Haha, Awen, don't listen to him say that, you ask Brother Chen, just now the old bear is very bullish, and he insists that one person can drink with seven or eight of us." ”
"That's right! Lao Xiong also said that when you come over, I will fight you alone!" Chen Fan didn't think it was a big deal, and gaged on the side.
Hearing this, Huo Yaowen couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that these people were all old drunkards, so he couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Lin Xiaotang, only to see him show a helpless look, and roughly guessed why he took the initiative to change his seat just now, probably because Lin Xiaotang was a "tuyere".
This meal lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was drunk before it ended, but Huo Yaowen and Lin Xiaotang were a little restrained, although they drank a lot, but they were not completely drunk.
Huo Yaowen was sending the last person into the taxi, panting and smiling bitterly at Lin Xiaotang on the side: "I knew I was drunk too!"
Lin Xiaotang said with a smile: "Haha, chairman, you are drunk, I can't send you all back alone." ”
"Yes. ”
Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "Let's do this first, Editor-in-Chief Lin, don't go back to the magazine, and help send them to a nearby hotel to arrange accommodation." ”
Huo Yaowen counted on Gu Long and Wolong to come over to help write the plot of Kyushu, but who knew that they were all led astray by him.
Lin Xiaotang nodded and responded: "Okay." ”
...
In the next few days, the group discussed the characters and plot in the morning, went to a restaurant in the afternoon to get drunk, or found a nightclub to have fun in the evening. After a few days, Huo Yaowen really couldn't stand it, he just drank too much every day, the most uncomfortable thing was his stomach, and now he wanted to vomit when he smelled the wine, I really don't know how Gu Long drank it!
In desperation, every time Huo Yaowen discussed the plot and role of Kyushu with them in the magazine, he directly slapped his ass and left, leaving Lin Xiaotang and several employees of the magazine together, and asked them to accompany Gu Long and others to play.
In this way, until the plot and characters were all discussed, Gu Long and Wo Longsheng took away part of the outline assigned to them and went back to Taiwan directly, and Chen Fan, Zhang Menghuan and others also officially started the creation of "Kyushu".
"Whew, it's finally gone. ”
Huo Yaowen let out a long breath of turbidity, he was really a little scared, he used to always watch the news that Gu Long was addicted to drinking before his death, and he still didn't believe it, but now it seems that addiction is no longer enough to describe him!
"Chairman, you're not authentic, you haven't been drinking for the past few days, and I've vomited many times. Lin Xiaotang's resentful eyes stared at him.
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Editor-in-Chief Lin. Huo Yaowen grinned, originally Gu Long was his friend, and he invited him, it stands to reason that he should be the one who accompanies the guest, but who made Huo Yaowen really unbearable!
"Chairman, Mr. Chen, they said that they will be able to deliver the manuscript this week, do you think we are going to start arranging for the editors to start arranging the magazine?" Lin Xiaotang just complained, although he often drank too much and vomited, but who is not happy that he eats and drinks every day and is reimbursed at public expense?
Kyushu Magazine is different from other magazines, this is a magazine that does not accept foreign contributions, so to this day, the editors and clerks at the bottom, their daily work is to fill in all kinds of details for the Kyushu world, and read all kinds of ancient books to verify the materials, so that Chen Fan and they will not waste time repeatedly pondering some details.
Now the outline has been decided.,The plot of the first part is the "Battle of Kyushu", this plot will lead to the hero of Kyushu and a group of heroes in troubled times with outstanding demeanor.
The world of "Kyushu" takes the narrative as the core, using a variety of narrative means such as multi-line narrative and flashback interludes, to tell the turbulent history of the "troubled times" in the Kyushu world before and after its establishment, which will also be interspersed with some ancient, ancient, and even flood era history, the former hatred and old hatred of various ethnic groups, the grievances and hatreds between various sects, and even the open and secret battles between the sons and hundreds of schools.
It can be said that the story outline and the basic setting outline are extremely huge, each sect and each race has its romantic characters, in this unprecedented war of hundreds of clans in the Kyushu world, conspiracy, yang conspiracy, martial arts, immortal arts, Gu arts, mechanism techniques, vertical and horizontal arts...... You come and go, competing for the stage!
No less than a world war!
If this book is left in the future, it may not really be a hit, no matter how well it is written, people may not have the time to ponder those romantic characters who appear on the stage one by one. This is a problem of the times, forty years later, people's lives are relatively tight, and there are many ways to entertain, unless you are an obsessed person, it is difficult to bother to understand the character and abilities of each character, or even the past.
But in the 70s, Hong Kong was different, at this time, there were only two or three ways of entertainment for the general public, reading books, reading newspapers, watching movies, and going to nightclubs were a few.
This is also the reason why Huo Yaowen is willing to spend so much creativity to create this "Kyushu", otherwise he would write slowly, these different ideas are enough for him to write seven or eight books, but Huo Yaowen is a person, and he is not as perverted as Ni Frame, who can handwrite five or six thousand words an hour.
When Chen Fan and others were creating Kyushu, Huo Yaowen also temporarily stopped the manuscripts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3" and "Tang Dynasty", and began to write the story of the flood era, but within two days of writing, he packed his luggage and prepared to go to the UK with Anna.
