Chapter 354: Announcing Identity
Victoria Peak in the southwest of Hong Kong Island is the highest peak on Hong Kong Island, with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, where you can overlook the whole of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When night falls, stand on Victoria Peak and look around, under the reflection of thousands of lights, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are like two pearls embedded in Victoria Harbour, reflecting each other, and the Central area at the foot of the mountain is also full of high-rise buildings, which is extremely spectacular.
Therefore, with its unique geographical environment and cultural landscape, Taiping Shan has become the first choice for special classes in Hong Kong to settle down.
Jin Yong's home is located in the high-end residential area "One Peak Road" in the middle of the Taiping Mountain.
Under Mr. Ai Qing's step-by-step teaching, the car slowly drove into Jin Yong's villa.
There are only a handful of people in China who have been able to make a fortune from writing throughout the ages, and the same is true in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, the most well-known person who really became a rich man by writing should be Ni Kuang.
Ni Kuang describes himself as "the person who has written the most Chinese characters since the existence of mankind" and "the fastest Chinese character writing speed in the world". The works he wrote in his lifetime include novels, essays, essays, columns, political commentaries, film scripts, and the only genre he has never written is lyrics and advertising words. Since he arrived in Hong Kong from the mainland in 1957, Ni Kuang has been writing almost every day, writing tens of thousands of words every day. And the most amazing thing is that he can write for thirty years without constant inspiration, with endless themes and a guarantee of best-selling. People in the rivers and lakes even jokingly called him "the emperor of bagged books". There is a joke circulating in the Hong Kong publishing industry that even if Ni Kuang writes a wordless book, it will be sold out quickly. At best, the next time you buy Ni Kuang's work, see if it's a sequel to the wordless book of heaven!
In fact, Jin Yong, who is also one of the four great talents in Hong Kong with Ni Kuang, is not bad, don't look at Jin Yong who later founded "Ming Pao" to become Hong Kong and become one of the few paper media tycoons in Hong Kong, but in the final analysis, the reason why Jin Yong was able to make a fortune was because of his writing talent.
I think that Jin Yong first came out of the rivers and lakes with a "Book of Swords and Enmity", and then he was out of control, "Blue Blood Sword" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" attracted the whole city to read and discuss, and finally became a generation of martial arts masters in Hong Kong by the time of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which attracted Hong Kong people to be fascinated, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while. It is precisely by virtue of its serialization of new martial arts works that "Ming Pao" has slowly grown into one of the top print media in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Jin Yong's ability to make a name for himself in Hong Kong and live on Taiping Mountain is fundamentally due to his writing talent. And it is his writing talent that makes him one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, and he can organize this exchange dinner tonight as a big name in Hong Kong's literary and art circles.
Ai Qing and Ge Wen were both guests at Jin Yong's home for the first time.
As soon as he got out of the car, Gewen saw the smiling Jin Yong stepping across the lawn in the courtyard to greet him, and the first floor of the villa behind him was already brightly lit and full of people, a lively scene.
After greetings, Jin Yong led the two into the house.
The large living room on the first floor of the villa is quite spacious, and there are many people sitting or standing on the sofa, next to the piano, and on the side of the bookshelf, many of whom are men, women, old and young, and many of them are chatting with wine glasses or cigars in their hands.
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Mr. Ai Qing's face, and it quickly disappeared.
Jin Yong clapped his hands loudly to signal everyone present to be quiet, and after everyone was quiet, he pointed to Ai Qing and Ge Wen beside him to introduce.
Mr. Ai Qing has participated in many activities in the Hong Kong cultural circle, so Jin Yong focused his introduction on Gowen. When everyone present learned from Jin Yong's mouth that the young man in front of him was Ge Wen, who had opened the "Heng Ge" column in the supplement of "Ming Pao" in the past few days, many people were a little incredulous, for no other reason, it was really Ge Wen's youth beyond the expectations of everyone present, Ge Wen was too young, and he didn't look like a person who wrote an article with profound cultural heritage like "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong".
But when Jin Yong continued to introduce that Ge Wen was also the author of last year's CCTV radio programs "The Rise of a Great Power" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", he was shocked, curious, questioning, and incredulous...... All kinds of complex emotions permeated the living room, and some people couldn't even suppress the shock in their hearts and let out a cry of surprise.
Hong Kong and the mainland are only separated by a river of incense, and mainland broadcasts can often be received in Hong Kong. The two radio programs "The Rise of a Great Power" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" broadcast in the middle of last year caused a great sensation in Hong Kong, and for a long time, not only the ordinary listeners in Hong Kong talked about it, but also those in the industry who did not focus on it.
For a while, the entire living room was silent.
Govin smiled and nodded to everyone present, and then he noticed Huang Zhan, who was holding a cigar in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other, still showing surprise on his face.
Huang Zhan is also here?
Govin was slightly surprised, then relieved.
No, Jin Yong and Huang Zhan are both one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, and they should have a good relationship.
Although the expressions of these people in front of him made Govin a little puzzled, they did not put it in his heart.
When he wanted to open the "Hengge" column before, Jin Yong wanted to publicize Gowen's identity in Ming Pao, because that would likely arouse the curiosity of readers, after all, Gowen's two works had caused huge repercussions in Hong Kong. But he was rejected by Govyn.
Considering that the purpose of the "Hengge" column is only to make money by mixing numbers, and the grandiose advertising is bound to make it difficult for Govin to ride the tiger, because in order to maintain his reputation, the quality of the manuscripts he publishes must also be guaranteed, and that will undoubtedly consume a lot of his own energy. Moreover, Govin felt that he was just a passer-by in Hong Kong, and his roots were in the mainland after all, and he really looked down on the influence of Hong Kong.
If it weren't for Mr. Ai Qing's conversation and request when he came, I'm afraid Govin wouldn't have realized a little - at any time and anywhere, a person's reputation and influence on the general public are a valuable asset, because you can't tell when and where you will use it.
Jin Yong was not surprised by the situation in front of him.
When greeting Ai Qing and Ge Wen in the courtyard, Jin Yong was very happy when he heard that Ai Qing asked him to announce Ge Wen's identity in "Ming Pao".
In the past few days, with the publication of several essays by Govin, although the sales of "Ming Pao" have not increased, the topic has always maintained a leading position in the industry. The company's reader survey even shows that "Hengge" is the column with the highest praise rate in recent supplements. One can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause when it is announced that Gowen is the author of "The Rise of Great Powers" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", how many curious readers will be attracted, and how many sales of "Ming Pao" will be driven.
Jin Yong himself is not only a cultural person, but also a businessman!
