269 [An uproar]
The story of "Rouge Buckle" is roughly about Hong Kong in the 30s, in that turbulent era, the top prostitute of a Yihong Courtyard Ruhua, fell in love with Chen Zhenbang, who is known as the twelve-year-old, and once came to talk about marriage, but due to the disparity in status, the marriage was opposed by the Chen family.
Chen Zhenbang broke away from the family and lived with Ruhua, and the two fell in love with rouge boxes. After the two lived together, Chen Zhenbang was infected with opium, Chen Zhenbang was a gentleman, had no ability to support his family, and gradually became financially constrained, so Ruhua planned to swallow opium with him. As a result, Ruhua died, and Zhenbang was rescued. If the flower waits for a long time in the Yellow Spring, it does not see the twelve, so it goes back to the sun to look for it.
Time in a flash, it was Hong Kong in the 80s, Ruhua found a kind couple and helped find the twelve young people who were already old at this time, but after the torture of the years, Chen Zhenbang was already poor and indifferent to the past. Ruhua was sad, returned the rouge box, and returned to the underworld to be reincarnated
The story seems to be very plain, whether it is the twelve young people who can't die and steal their lives, or the flowers who have been waiting for more than 50 years in the Yellow Spring, this simple and extraordinary story is full of love and hate, infatuation and resentment, and negative people.
Because the story is in his mind, although he almost forgot the dialogue, he remembered the general plot direction very clearly, so Huo Yaowen wrote quickly, and wrote more than 2,000 words in less than half an hour.
"It's really tiring to write with a fountain pen, why don't you see if there are any good typewriters tomorrow and buy one back!" Huo Yaowen complained as he put down the pen and rubbed his sore wrist.
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock on the door of the study, and Grandma walked in with the tea she had brewed and said, "Yaowen, there is a young lady surnamed Chen looking for you outside." ”
"Miss surnamed Chen?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows.
"Well, she said her name was Chen*. ”
Qiong Yao?
Huo Yaowen frowned, he didn't expect Qiong Yao to come to the door, "Grandma, you go down first to help entertain you, I still have some manuscripts here that I haven't finished, and I'll go down as soon as I'm done." ”
"Okay, then hurry up, don't make people wait. ”
Grandma said with a smile, then turned around and left and closed the door by the way.
.....
Ground floor living room.
"Ms. Chen, please have tea. Grandma walked over with a cup of freshly brewed Pu'er tea, and looked at Qiong Yao in front of her with a smile.
"Thank you. Qiong Yao hurriedly got up and took the teacup from Grandma's hand.
Grandma said: "Ms. Chen is here first, and then I will go up to urge Yaowen, and I won't come down for so long." ”
"Out of the way, Mrs. Huo. ”
Qiong Yao shook her head and said, "I'll wait here for a while, and I'll talk about it when Mr. Huo is busy." ”
"How can this work, Ms. Chen, wait a while, I'll come when I go." Grandma was just about to go upstairs to urge Huo Yaowen to come down, when she heard the sound of footsteps from the stairs.
It was only a moment of effort, and I saw Huo Yaowen coming down from upstairs.
"Mr. Huo!" Qiong Yao said with a smile.
Huo Yaowen nodded slightly, and then the grandma on the side said, "Yaowen, you talk to Ms. Chen, I'll go upstairs first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Huo Yaowen watched Grandma go upstairs, and then turned to look back at Qiong Yao, who was still standing there, although he was still a little unhappy with the other party's behavior some time ago, but the visitor was a guest, and he still opened his mouth and said politely: "Miss Chen, don't be so restrained - please take a seat." ”
"Thank you. Qiong Yao thanked her, and after sitting down, she looked at Huo Yaowen who was sitting down, and didn't know how to open her mouth for a while, hesitating, waiting for Huo Yaowen to say, "Miss Chen came to me this time, please tell me directly." ”
After hesitating for a few seconds, Qiong Yao said: "That's the case, Mr. Huo, what happened at the gate of the Lijia Theater last time, I am here to say sorry to you, I know that because of this incident, Miss Zhang may have been entangled by reporters recently, I originally wanted to go to Miss Zhang's house to apologize in person, but I didn't know where she lived." So I can only come to Mr. Huo, I hope you can help me bring an apology to Miss Zhang. ”
"No need, Miss Chen. Huo Yaowen shook his head and said directly: "I thought about this later, anyway, Wanjun's identity will be exposed sooner or later, and this matter has been a month, and it is all in the past." Miss Chen doesn't have to apologize, but I'll bring your words. ”
Suddenly, Qiong Yao's face was gloomy, and she couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in Huo Yaowen's words. Also, it took a month to come over to apologize, and no one felt that it was sincere enough, but who made her very busy during this time? The box office of "Deep in the Courtyard" in Hong Kong was not very good, so she had to contact many friends to help her say a few good words in newspapers and magazines, and took Gui Yalei and Chen Qun to the scene many times.
"Oh well. Qiong Yao sighed slightly, and before she was about to get up and leave, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Huo, I don't know if Miss Zhang's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" is willing to be made into a movie?"
Huo Yaowen said: "I don't know about this, I will help you ask her, if there is any news, I will inform Miss Chen." ”
"Well, then it's troublesome Mr. Huo. ”
Qiong Yao stood up and said, "I'm going to take a boat back to Taiwan in the afternoon, so I won't bother Mr. Huo much." ”
"Okay, Miss Chen, be careful on the road. ”
Huo Yaowen said goodbye without being salty, sent Qiong Yao to the door, watched her drive away, and couldn't help but wonder how the other party knew where he lived?
Back to the villa.
Grandma also came down from upstairs, glanced at Huo Yaowen, and asked with concern, "Yaowen, is there anything wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a friend who wants to come back to Taiwan to visit me. Huo Yaowen smiled.
Grandma said, "Oh, I thought something was wrong. ”
After replying to Grandma a few words, Huo Yaowen remembered the news that he had made an appointment to meet Litu at noon, and after going upstairs to change his clothes, he drove out.
...
An hour later, The Peninsula.
"Boss. Ritu stood up to greet him.
"Well, don't get up, sit down and say. Huo Yaowen waved his hand, signaling that Lituo didn't need to get up, and then sat down and asked, "How about discussing with the Martial Arts Association?"
"It's good, everything is going well, and when they heard that we could help them sell their books to Europe, America and Japan, they were not only very happy, but they also agreed to most of the percentages we proposed." ”
"It seems to be going well!" Huo Yaowen smiled slightly, he actually didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but he still had to remind Lituo, "The sharing ratio is according to what we discussed before?"
Litu nodded: "Yes, no matter how much share the foreign publishing company gives, we only take one-third of the commission, which is meaningless to Mr. Gu, the president of the association, although many of the rest think that we take more, but more people still agree." ”
"Okay, then let's do it, recruit translators in Hong Kong as soon as possible, giving priority to English translation, followed by Japanese. "Although the market for Japanese martial arts books is not very large, they still prefer mystery detective books, but in the end they are still more accepting of martial arts than ghosts.
"Yes. ”
"Oh, yes. Huo Yaowen opened the briefcase, took out a stack of Harry Potter manuscript paper from it, handed it to Lituo and said, "This is a new book I wrote recently." ”
"Oh, is it still sci-fi?" said Lito, who had helped Huo Yaowen sell the rights to "1999" and "Virtual World" before, but he had earned a lot of commissions.
Huo Yaowen shook his head: "No, it's a magical-style wizard text." ”
"Wizard?" said Lito, frowning, flipped through the paper and glanced at it casually, and when he saw the King's Station, he was surprised, "This is written about England?"
Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Well, didn't I go to the UK not long ago? I just heard that there is a legend of wizards in Britain, so I suddenly thought that there is such a story, you can take it back and take a look, if the Thames Publishing Company is willing to publish it, I will give it to them, if not, you can help me contact other publishing houses." ”
"Okay, no problem boss. ”
Li Tuo agreed, although he didn't know whether Huo Yaowen's level of writing magic was enough, but it shouldn't be too bad to think about it, with his previous fame, publishing would not be a problem, but the specific conditions would have to wait for him to finish reading the manuscript before he could negotiate with the publishing house according to the quality.
...
Among the recent major events in Hong Kong, in addition to the sensational establishment of the "Martial Arts Association", the most eye-catching thing is Teresa Teng's 30 consecutive stage performances, and Fok Yaowen also received an invitation from Teresa Teng personally, inviting him to watch her performance on the Lee Stage in Causeway Bay on July 12.
At this point, Huo Yaowen naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, as the day gradually approached, "Rouge Buckle" had already been written for most of the time, and when it was almost over, suddenly an international news was released in "Ta Kung Pao", which not only caused the whole Hong Kong to boil, but also caused an uproar among Chinese people around the world!
...
In the evening, Ta Kung Pao newspaper office.
Yan Liangkuan anxiously pushed open the door of the editor-in-chief's office, ignored the editor-in-chief's surprised gaze, and said with a solemn face: "An urgent telegram has been sent from the United States!"
"Show it to me. ”
The editor-in-chief took the telegram and read it word by word, and the more he looked at it, his brows were tightened, and in the end, before he even finished reading the telegram, he slammed the table and roared loudly: "The Yankees are too deceitful!"
Yan Liangkuan saw that the editor-in-chief was angry, and he was also indignant and angry in his heart, but he still maintained a certain degree of calm, and asked: "What should the editor-in-chief do now? Do you want to publish it in the newspaper?"
"Deng, you must board! Remove the previous front-page content, put this on it, and let the whole Hong Kong people see the wolf ambitions of Yankees and little devils!" said the editor-in-chief.
"Yes!"
Yan Liangkuan took the telegram and turned to leave.
Early the next morning.
The front-page news of "Ta Kung Pao" proudly wrote: "The United States and Japan collude to seize the fish platform!"
