Chapter 6 Hong Kong Tour (4)

After lunch, because there was an important appointment in the afternoon, in order to maintain a good mental outlook, Zhang Lexing came to the hourly room booked at the Four Seasons Hotel to take a nap. An hour and a half later, Zhang Le, who had rested, went to the appointment. Accompanying Zhang Lexing were * and Chen Yi, while Li Sheng and Luo drove a business car to follow the protection.

Today, Zhang Lexing wants to visit Mr. Cha, who lives at No. 1 Peak Road, that is, the famous martial arts novel master Jin Yong. During the car, Zhang Lexing took out the information about Mr. Cha again and looked at it, and the memory of Jin Yong gradually surfaced in his mind.

"Mr. Cha's ancestors are from Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, and he was born in Yuanhua Town, Haining County, Zhejiang Province. The Cha family belongs to a famous family in the local area, and has the reputation of 'a giant family since the Tang and Song dynasties, and there are several families in the south of the Yangtze River'. In 1948, he went to Hong Kong and worked in the Hong Kong branch of Ta Kung Pao. In 1952, he began to create film dramas and met his friend Chen Wentong (Liang Yusheng). Beginning in 1954, he and Chen Wentong began to write martial arts novels, thus creating a new era of martial arts. ”

The first time Zhang Lexing read Jin Yong's novel was actually not in the book, but through the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that many people have seen, although the TV series did not forget to be named by Jin Yong, but I didn't know the relationship between Jin Yong and this TV series at that time. After going to college, Zhang Lexing really saw Jin Yong's novel for the first time from his classmates, which was a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" launched by Jilin People's Publishing House in 84, which was very well-made, not only with illustrations in the book, but also with an introduction to the main characters in front of each book, which was relatively special in the novel at that time. Since this book, Zhang Lexing has gradually read a lot of other novels written by Jin Yong, fourteen long books and one short story "Yue Nu Sword" have been read more than once, and even read the so-called new works of some impostors.

This time, Zhang Lexing came to visit Mr. Cha, on the one hand, to see the former idol in his mind, and on the other hand, he also hoped that his game development company could open up the situation as soon as possible by launching Jin Yong's martial arts game after its establishment.

It is not far from the Four Seasons Hotel to One Peak Road, and it takes about 20 minutes to drive there. In fact, it is not so easy to meet Mr. Cha, fortunately, a few years ago, Kunpeng Animation dealt with Mr. Cha in order to produce the comic version of Jin Yong's novel, and also established a certain friendship, coupled with Mr. Yang's connections, Zhang Lexing was finally able to make an appointment, so Shi Shiran could visit him like this.

Knocking on the door to explain his intentions, under the leadership of the servant, Zhang Lexing came to the pavilion in Mr. Cha's mansion alone. Mr. Cha was sitting alone on the rattan chair at this time, with a teapot and a few teacups on the coffee table next to him, and a Go chessboard on the table in front of him, on which there were already a lot of black and white pieces, and Mr. Cha was holding a sunspot and groaning.

Seeing the former idol, Zhang Lexing was excited, but seeing that Mr. Cha was thinking, he didn't dare to walk up directly to say hello, but waited for a while, and waited until the chess pieces in Mr. Cha's hand were settled, and then he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Cha, the junior Zhang Lexing took the liberty to come to visit, if you are disturbed, please forgive me!"

Mr. Cha glanced up at Zhang Lexing, pointed to the rattan chair opposite, and said, "It's okay, please take a seat." ”

walked over and sat on the rattan chair, before Zhang Lexing could open his mouth, Mr. Cha poured a cup of tea first, and then pointed with his hand: "The tea that has just been brewed, please try it." ”

Zhang Lexing picked up the teacup on the coffee table, smelled it under his nose, and a fresh and pure tender fragrance came to his nose, with the unique aroma of orchid beans, but it was mixed with a hint of honey sweetness. Pick up the teacup and send it to the mouth to sip lightly, the clear and bright tea suddenly poured into the mouth, the tongue has a more slippery feeling, a slight aftertaste, elegant and sweet taste is clear and white and moist.

"Good tea, I'm afraid this is the best West Lake Longjing. The homework done in advance played a role at this time, and a cup of tea did not stump Zhang Lexing.

Mr. Cha's eyes lit up: "Yes, I didn't expect you to live overseas for a long time and still know so much about tea." ”

Zhang Lexing put down the teacup and said modestly: "Where is it, it's just a coincidence." ”

"Do you know how to play Go?" asked Mr. Cha.

"A little. Zhang Lexing said, and then looked at the chessboard on the table. Mr. Cha just played an endgame, which is a trick that many people like to play when they are alone, and it is helpful to improve their chess strength. Zhang Lexing used to have a certain amount of research on Go, and he used to be a frequent visitor to Qingfeng and Lianzhong, but after his rebirth, he has been busy with his own career, and only occasionally plays chess alone, but he has wasted Go a lot. Fortunately, Mr. Cha's endgame Zhang Lexing happened to have studied it recently, and it was from the "Diagonal Flying Cross" game in the Qing Dynasty's "Yi Miao", so he didn't worry about making a fool of himself in front of him.

"Please. Mr. Cha stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Lexing to get the white seed.

Picking up a white piece, Zhang Lexing looked at the chessboard and thought deeply. The black disc that Mr. Cha landed before was the fifteenth move, and according to the conventional move, the white disc should be cut off next to the two black spots in the upper left area of the chessboard. But Zhang Lexing knew that if he continued like this, in less than twenty steps, the sunspot would be able to gain a great advantage. Fortunately, he carefully studied this game not long ago, but Zhang Lexing figured out a new solution, and the white son in his hand was gently put down, and he flew a big shot on the right.

Zhang Lexing's son was very unexpected by Mr. Cha, his expression suddenly became serious and fell into deep thought......

A game of chess was played for nearly an hour, and with different moves, Zhang Lexing took a small advantage at the end of the game, which was slightly better than Mr. Cha.

"I didn't expect you to be young, play Go quite well, and your brain is also very flexible. Zhang Lexing's performance in tea tasting and Go made Mr. Cha very satisfied, so he couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Lexing waved his hand and said modestly: "Where, I have also passed this game before, and I just have some experience." ”

"Mr. Zhang is here today, what is the matter? ”

"Mr. Cha, many of the novels you have written, the younger generations have read them one by one, and I feel that it is like flowing clouds and water, and the use of some classical poems quoted in the text is very charming, the language is popular, simple, fluent, and flexible and vivid, so that the younger generations can't stop every time they read the papers. It is a great honor to meet Mr. Cha himself this time. ”

Maybe it was Zhang Lexing's words that made Mr. Cha feel like a bosom friend of the literature, which suddenly caused him to talk. In the following time, the topics of the two have always revolved around Mr. Cha's novels, such as: how to skillfully transfer from the identity of a third party who has nothing to do with themselves to the realm of the second person, how to set off the momentum of the characters through the method of introduction, and if the narrative of the perspective of the audience is used to make the reader empathize, of course, they also talk about the exquisite bridge design and vivid characters in the novel. Thanks to Zhang Lexing's homework done in advance, he was able to cope with it freely.

After talking for a while, today's first-level purpose has almost been achieved, Zhang Lexing began to work hard for his second-level purpose, and the topic began to slowly shift from martial arts novels to martial arts games.

"Mr. Cha, martial arts novels can be regarded as adult fairy tales, and your novels are very popular in our Chinese world. However, with the development of science and technology, there are many more forms of experiencing martial arts dreams, for example, although martial arts movies and TV series have lost some of the artistic conception in novels, they can make more people feel the charm of the martial arts world. ”

Mr. Cha said with deep sympathy: "That's true, TVB has filmed a few films, but unfortunately I have not been very satisfied." ”

"Mr. Cha, in addition to movies and television, people can now experience the martial arts dream through games on the computer. Different from the one-way acceptance of film and television, the game can give players more choices and experience a unique martial arts world through a variety of interactive forms......"

As soon as he said this, Mr. Cha said as if he understood something: "Game, I've heard about this recently, it's said by a Taiwanese, it seems to be called Wang Junbo." At that time, when he talked about the game, he roughly meant the same as you said, and I guess if you can meet, you should be able to have a good conversation. ”

"Mr. Cha, what is he talking about here?" Zhang Lexing's heart suddenly cast a shadow.

"Oh, he wanted to promote martial arts culture by adapting my novels, and I saw that he was very sincere, so I agreed. Mr. Cha replied.

Zhang Lexing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, I didn't expect that I had been preparing for so long, but I was still preempted by Zhiguan." ”

"Mr. Cha, I don't know if I have the opportunity to sign a contract with you, I am also very interested in the game adapted from martial arts novels. ”

Mr. Cha said with a little regret: "I'm really sorry, Wang Junbo and I signed an exclusive agreement, I don't think there is this fate for the time being." ”

Zhang Lexing was a little disappointed, but he was not very worried, because he knew that although Wang Junbo took the lead this time, Zhiguan's adaptation strategy was too utilitarian, and he liked to cut in half the most, and the games adapted from Jin Yong's novels were often made by them, or it would be a few years before Mr. Cha lost confidence, and I believe that Zhang Lexing would have a chance at that time.

However, it is rare to visit Mr. Cha once, Zhang Lexing is unwilling to come for nothing, and while gossiping and thinking about how not to waste this opportunity, a good idea suddenly comes to mind.

"Mr. Cha, have you ever heard of the 'information superhighway'?"

"What is the information superhighway?" Although Mr. Cha is a martial arts master, he doesn't know much about new terms like this.

So then it was time for Zhang Lexing's performance, sorted out his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said: "The so-called information superhighway is a concept put forward by the United States in the State of the Union address at the beginning of this year, and they plan to spend 2000~400 billion US dollars in 20 years to build a high-speed basic network for transmitting information, which can be used to transmit information including text, images, video, audio, etc., including novels like yours can also be transmitted on it. From the Internet, you can find all kinds of information, just like a newspaper that is always there, you can check it at any time, and the newspaper can also update the content at any time......

"Then you mean that you want to put my novel on the Internet so that everyone can read it?" Mr. Cha seemed to understand what Zhang Lexing meant.

Zhang Lexing nodded and said: "Yes, I want to make a website for the promotion of Chinese literature and put it on the Internet, but it requires a lot of content, and your novel is a good choice, so I hope to be able to obtain the digital copyright of your novel and the first release right of your revised version on the Internet in the future, I don't know if you are willing?"

Maybe he wanted to comfort Zhang Lexing's frustration that he couldn't get the game adaptation right, Mr. Cha readily agreed, and didn't even ask for profit sharing, but this may have something to do with the fact that he didn't understand the Internet yet. Not only Mr. Cha, but even the whole world at this time, there are only a handful of people who understand the true value and development potential of the Internet.

This time, Zhang Lexing's intention to build a Chinese literature website was not premeditated, in fact, the original plan to build a Chinese literature website will take at least seven or eight years, and then the domestic network environment will be relatively easy to achieve. However, this time successfully won the digital copyright of Jin Yong's novel, but Zhang Lexing has some new ideas, the current network environment is not good, but in this period when few people on the Internet know, the difficulty of winning the works of those literary masters is probably the least. Anyway, the website didn't say that it was going to be built soon.,You can sign a contract first.,It's slowly working on the website.,There's still a lot of time.。

After leaving Mr. Cha's house and having dinner, Zhang Lexing enjoyed the so-called beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour under the leadership of *, although it is not as wonderful as the night view of some big cities in the future, but there are also many local characteristics of Hong Kong. After enjoying the night view, Zhang Lexing returned to The Peninsula Hotel to take a good rest, because tomorrow will usher in another busy day.
