322 [Magnificent masterpiece coming soon]
Because Anna returned to Hong Kong this time as a staff member of the Governor, after visiting the elders at his house with Huo Yaowen, she hurriedly went to the Governor's Mansion to participate in the next work to welcome the new Governor with a moist and beautiful appearance.
On the other hand, Huo Yaowen, who was released, sent the first "Game of Thrones" to Yao Wenjie to the company, but when he returned home, he received an invitation from Bruce Lee to move to a new house.
Since the release of "Tangshan Big Brother" in Hong Kong in September, not only broke the Hong Kong film box office record, but he has vaguely become the leader of the new Hong Kong film box office.
With the high salary, he rented a mansion about the size of Gu Long not far from Huo Yaowen's house.
……
Early morning.
Huo Yaowen took the gift he had prepared earlier, and told Zhang's mother that he would not come back for dinner at noon, and then walked out of the house and walked towards Bruce Lee's new house on the left.
"Yaowen. ”
Before he had taken a few steps, he heard someone behind him shouting to him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Gu Long and Chiyoko.
Huo Yaowen stopped and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Brother Xiong." ”
Gu Long walked closer, saw that he was holding a wrapped gift in his hand, and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
"A friend of mine has moved to a new house, not far ahead. ”
"Friend?"
"Bruce Lee. ”
"Him!"
Gu Long nodded when he heard this, Bruce Lee has been an instant hit in the past few months, occupying the headlines of entertainment newspapers for half a month, and there are almost few people who don't know him.
At this time, I heard Huo Yaowen say that Bruce Lee also moved over, and he still lives not far away, and he had the idea of making friends in his heart, and recently the Shaw Brothers Company saw that Golden Harvest's "Big Brother Tangshan" was so popular, so they invited Gu Long to help them write two scripts.
In addition to an adaptation of Gu Long's early work "The Peerless Double Pride", Gu Long has recently conceived an original script, which has been written for most of it, called "Xiao Shiyi Lang".
After thinking about it, Gu Long said, "Yaowen, you wait for me for a while, I'll go home and get something, and I'll go with you." ”
"Are you going too?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows.
"It's natural, I live around here, your friends are my friends, so it's natural to pay a visit. ”
"Well, okay. ”
Seeing that Gu Long said so, Huo Yaowen nodded and agreed.
After a while, Huo Yaowen waited at the intersection for more than ten minutes, and Gu Long hurriedly ran over from home alone, holding a calligraphy and painting spread out in both hands.
Gu Long said: "I just wrote it, the ink hasn't dried yet, so I will take it like this first, and roll it up when I get to the door." ”
When Huo Yaowen heard this, he glanced closer, and wrote on it: "The rivers and lakes are not over, when the pride and ambition are strong, the dragon soars all over the world, and becomes famous all over the world." ”
"Well written. ”
Huo Yaowen admires Gu Long's poetry and sentence skills, and the classic sentence "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves", which can be said to be the end of life, the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes.
"Make do, in a hurry. Gu Long smiled.
In this way, the two talked and laughed and arrived at Bruce Lee's newly moved residence.
At this moment, there are already many people in the house, Bruce Lee's brother and sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, as well as Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Miao Kexiu and others.
Bruce Lee, who was busy greeting everyone, suddenly caught a glimpse of two people coming in at the door out of the corner of his eye, and looked at it, isn't one of them Huo Yaowen? smiled and walked over quickly and said, "Yaowen, you are finally here." ”
"Haha, I'm sorry Brother Xiaolong, something is delayed. ”
Huo Yaowen responded with a smile, and then introduced Gu Long next to him: "Brother Xiaolong, let me introduce you, this is Xiong *, he is Gu Long, a famous martial arts writer in Hong Kong and Taiwan, who lives on the side, and I heard that you moved to a new house, so I came to visit." ”
The name Gu Long, Bruce Lee is not unfamiliar, although he has studied and worked in the United States many times over the years, he has also returned to Hong Kong many times, he has heard the name of this martial arts writer, and when he heard Huo Yaowen say that Gu Long came to visit him, he smiled happily and stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Xiong has admired the name for a long time, if I knew that you lived nearby, I would definitely visit you first." ”
"Haha, Mr. Li is polite. Gu Long smiled heartily.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries at the door for a while, and Linda ran over and took the gifts from the two of them with a smile, complained about Bruce Lee, and then beckoned the two to come into the house for tea.
Seeing Gu Long, Zou Wenhuai was a little surprised, but after noticing that Huo Yaowen brought it, he understood it, and he also stepped forward enthusiastically to chat with him.
Although Golden Harvest is now beating Shaw Brothers' martial arts film "One-armed Knife" because of Bruce Lee's new-school kung fu movie "Big Brother Tangshan", Zou Wenhuai still has not given up this kind of martial arts film, after all, Hong Kong martial arts have been popular for many years, and martial arts films naturally have a great advantage.
And Gu Long's fame in Hong Kong has become more and more famous in recent years, in addition to Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong, he can be said to be a well-deserved martial arts master, even Huo Yaowen, who created a novel fantasy martial arts, is still difficult to compare in this regard.
At this point, Huo Yaowen himself knows that martial arts have almost been written to the extreme in this era, unless it is to open up a new genre, such as Huang Yixuan's fantasy martial arts "Tang Double Dragon" that he borrowed, it is difficult to have a chance to get ahead.
……
London, England, Thames Publishing.
Lilith walked briskly into the editor-in-chief's office, holding a stack of letters that had just been mailed from Hong Kong.
"Is there anything wrong with Lilith?" the editor-in-chief asked, looking up.
"Yes. ”
Lilith walked over to her desk, put the letter on the table, and said, "This is the manuscript from Hong Kong. ”
"Mr. Evan's?!the second Harry Potter?" The editor-in-chief's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately picked up the letter and made a gesture to open it.
Lilith shook her head, "No, this is Evan's new work. ”
"New?"
The editor-in-chief couldn't help frowning, in his opinion, no new work can compare to the second part of "Harry", you must know that the first "Harry" has sold almost nine million copies in the UK, and almost every British child has a copy.
With the good sales of the first part, as long as the second part is published, the guaranteed starting point is 5 million copies.
"Yes, there are two new works!" Lilith had finished reading the manuscripts of these two books all night last night, oh no, I should say that I had read a rough look, because the first "Game of Thrones" was so grandiose that she had the illusion of reading the history of the European Middle Ages.
Lilith spent a night, and only read a third of it, because the plot is complex and urgent, and the relationships between the various characters in it, the descriptions of desire and power, are enough to be called an epic and magical masterpiece.
In her mind, this new Evan work "Game of Thrones" is to some extent comparable to or surpass Tolkien's sensational magical masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings".
"A thousand success stories?"
The editor-in-chief frowned, and the title of the book was a bit strange.
However, I still read it patiently, and after looking at a few sheets of paper, I found that it was composed of small stories.
I put it aside a little depressed, and looked at the manuscript of the second book, the name is very atmospheric and majestic, called "Game of Thrones", and the first few hundred words depict an alternate fiction similar to the continent of Westeros in the European Middle Ages.
He has read Huo Yaowen's "1999" and "Virtual World", two science fiction masterpieces, and the description of the huge world view can be said to be very handy.
Flipping through the pages, more than half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, ignoring Lilith sitting across from him, until the editor-in-chief's eyes were sour, and then he retracted his vision and rubbed his eyes, his face full of shock.
"This is a great new work by Mr. Evan!
The editor-in-chief was thrilled, knowing that the company was about to have another best-selling book published from him!
……
And on the outskirts of London.
Author of The Lord of the Rings. While R. Tolkien was enjoying the bright sun at home, a post office messenger pedaled his beloved bicycle and slowly drove to Tolkien's house.
Soon, after the messenger had set up his bicycle and held the large package in his hand, he walked up to Tolkien who was lying in a rocking chair, took off his hat to block the wind on his head, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Tolkien!"
"Oh, it's little Jack, why are you here? Who wrote to me, the old man?" said Tolkien with a smile when he opened his eyes and saw that it was little Jack, the messenger.
Little Jack glanced at the name and address on the large package and said, "It's a letter from Hong Kong, well, from abroad." ”
"Hong Kong?" Tolkien frowned, and for a moment he was relieved again, and he thought of who it was!
"Give it to me, little Jack. ”
Tolkien took the package, watched the messenger leave, and tore open the outer package, revealing a stack of printed and bound books with a rudimentary cover and a beautiful string of English "Game of Thrones" written on it!
In addition to the bound book, there was a letter, which he opened and read, and the first line of it read: "Dear Mr. Tolkien, thank you for the materials that I have been able to write in such a short time as I can write the story on my mind, and I hope that Mr. Tolkien will give me a lot of valuable advice......"
