Chapter 343: What a Wonderful Man!

Huang Zhan's frown disappeared shortly after he got the "Berlin Voice" vinyl. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Being able to get a high-quality music album is a very wonderful thing for a musician like him, which is enough to dilute a trace of depression in his heart.

It was almost noon, and Huang Zhan, who was in a better mood, warmly invited Govan to eat at a well-known tea restaurant in Causeway Bay, and Govan happily complied.

Chinese have had the habit of making friends at the wine table since ancient times, and when a bottle of Hong Kong-made liquor was opened, Govin and Huang Hao suddenly became much more intimate.

And when Govine talked about the purpose of his trip to Hong Kong and his identity as a writer, Huang Zhan's eyes widened in shock.

"You are the author of "The Rise of a Great Power" broadcast in the mainland? Unbelievable! I didn't expect you to be so young! I always thought the author was older than me! A work like "The Rise of a Great Power" is not something that ordinary people can write! It's unbelievable! ”

Huang Zhan was amazed that Govin was able to create such a work as "The Rise of a Great Power".

After it was over, he still admired in disbelief: "You don't know how much sensation the broadcast of "The Rise of a Great Power" has brought to Hong Kong people......

Govin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Huang Zhan said that Hong Kong people can also listen to the Central People's Radio in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people themselves are interested in the mainland's National Day military parade, and Hong Kong people are vying to listen to the "Rise of a Great Power" because of its content, and the discussion of "The Rise of a Great Power" in the newspapers has never been less than for a period of time, and the debate, admiration, and criticism have been very lively for a while.

In any case, Hong Kong people are very curious about those who write works like "The Rise of Great Powers", and they all feel that this author is not simple, but has a broad vision and profound thoughts. Even a few gossip newspapers have soared in sales by relying on apocryphal author stories.

"No, I'll call Jin Yong and Cai Lan when I go back, and the two of them were amazed by your "The Rise of a Great Power" at that time! If they knew that I was drinking with you, they would be very envious! Ha ha...... Come and drink. ”

Huang Zhan danced with his hands, and then shouted to clink glasses with Gowen.

"Uh...... I just met Mr. Cha this morning. Govin couldn't help but interrupt Huang Zhan.

"Huh? How so? ”

Ge Wen recounted his contribution to Jin Yong, and also said that he had been recognized by Mr. Jin Yong and had a column in the supplement of "Ming Pao".

Then Huang Zhan shook his head and sighed, but after a while, he seemed to remember some good teacher's teaching.

"Gowen, this Jin Yong is a very picky guy. Yanni was called the best modern prose writer by Jin Yong, but when she asked Jin Yong to increase the manuscript fee, Jin Yong said that Yanni 'loves to spend money so much, she adds and spends it, and does not add'; and Ni Kuang's sister Yishu also asked Jin Yong to increase the manuscript fee, but Jin Yong replied, 'You don't spend money, what's the use of adding the manuscript fee?' The angry Yishu scolded Jin Yong in the column for being mean. I haven't read your article, but it's extremely good. Otherwise, I would like to introduce you to the editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily, and if you resubmit your article to Sing Tao Daily, I think you will definitely make a lot of money with the fame you created in Hong Kong on the National Day last year! ”

Listening to Huang Zhan's words, Govin felt as if there were crows flying over his head.

Aren't Huang Zhan and Jin Yong friends?

Here's what's going on!

Tear down the backstage of an old friend?!

But looking at Huang Zhan's serious expression, it was clear that he was not joking, so Govin had to tell the truth: "Mr. Huang, it doesn't matter how much the manuscript fee is, I still fancy the status of "Ming Pao" in the minds of Hong Kong people. ”

"Hey, you're all tired of fame! And wow, what is your name Mr. Huang, it's too outward, I'm older than you, you call me Uncle Zhan. ”

"Uh...... I know Uncle Zhan. ”

"Since you don't want to, forget it. However, Govern, the columnist of the Hong Kong newspaper is a little different from the article published in your mainland newspaper. Hong Kong's literary mode of operation is heavily influenced by the West, the pursuit of sales, from readers to the way books are distributed makes it impossible for writers not to be commercial, and without commerce, books cannot be published and writers cannot survive. The same is true of Hong Kong's newspaper columns, which have no academic value, and most people who pick up newspapers and read columns do not want to see any new academic ideas in them. Readers are just a pastime, and at most they want to know anecdotes, life experiences, and encyclopedic knowledge...... Therefore, Gowen, you must not write about those esoteric and remote pure literature in your column, but write something as simple and understandable as "The Rise of Great Powers". I know that the works of many of your mainland writers often seem to run through the past and the present, and they are often long and monumental, and people often do not arouse the interest of reading them......"

Govin nodded, Huang Zhan was passing on his experience in writing columns.

Since he talked about the creative aspect, Govin naturally asked Huang Zhan for advice. However, when he asked Huang Zhan to introduce his creative concept, Huang Zhan was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said that he had never thought of devoting himself to literature, but just wanted to say what he had in his heart to others and like it.

Huang Zhan said: "I'm actually just a part-time columnist, not a writer. As for my creative philosophy......"

Huang Zhan frowned and thought for a while, before he continued: "Our generation of Hong Kong people on the one hand inherited the cultural traditions of the previous generation of China, on the other hand, and absorbed some Western knowledge and lifestyle, when the two are combined, some new things appear, I actually don't have any creative ideas, that is, I write my heart by hand." In fact, the same is true of most Hong Kong writers. ”

Govyn nodded.

He came from later generations, so he naturally knew that there had never been any real literary works in Hong Kong, and more of them were popular literature or delicate and small works.

The reason for this, as Huang Zhan said, is due to Hong Kong's unique geographical location and history and culture.

Hong Kong, a diverse metropolis, inherits various cultures from the East and the West, and the collision of Eastern and Western cultures ferments and precipitates in the small city of Hong Kong, which would have aroused some different sparks in Hong Kong literature.

But the writing environment in Hong Kong is so bad!

Commercialized cities have created commercialized people, and writers are willing to write commercial works for the sake of livelihood, and there are too few writers who are willing to ignore "money". As Huang Zhan said earlier, Hong Kong writers cannot publish their own works if they are not commercial, and they cannot survive if they do not publish their own works.

As a result, Hong Kong has a situation in which there are many writers and few literary masterpieces.

In Hong Kong, culture refers more to popular culture and pop culture!

As the two of them chatted freely at the dinner table, as more than half a bottle of liquor went down, Huang Zhan was already familiar with patting Gewen's shoulder and calling Gewen a brother, and he also talked about his inner monologue and the awesome experience of previous years.

Huang Zhan can be said to be a representative of Hong Kong pop culture, so his views can be seen as the views of Hong Kong's elites and the views of the general public, so Govin cares about Huang Zhan's words very much.

Since he wanted to do something in the cultural exchange activities between the mainland and Hong Kong to prove that Pa Lao did not include himself in the exchange group out of selfishness, it was far more direct and quick to befriend Huang Zhan and let Huang Zhan be a guide to contact Hong Kong's cultural circles than to submit articles in Ming Pao Daily.

And Huang Zhan is a person with a temperament, which makes Govin happy to make friends, open his heart and boldly say some gossip and jokes that are taboo in the mainland.

The food and liquor on the table began to become less and less common as the two began to chat.

When he heard Govin say that he wanted to visit Shaw Brothers Cinemas and see TVB's TV building, Huang Zhan patted his chest and said that it was all right. He claimed to be a senior in the TV industry, what Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, Zheng Yuling, Anita Mui, Lin Qingxia, these kings and queens saw him, and they had to call him "Uncle Zhan" like Gowen.

At this time, Huang Zhan still has the politeness and politeness when he first saw him, his suit jacket has already been put on the back of the chair, the cuffs of the cyan shirt inside are rolled up high, the buttons at the neckline are unbuttoned twice, and the chopsticks are waved in his hand, looking careless, heroic and hearty.

And then ......

And then there was no more and no more.

Looking at Huang Zhan lying on the dining table and falling asleep, looking at the empty wine bottle with a little liquor left on the table, Gowen was speechless.

In Govine's impression, Huang Zhan has always been a smoker and drinker. When recording the program "No Defense Tonight" with Cai Lan and Ni Kuang on TVB, he openly smoked and drank alcohol in the TV program. Later generations even spread that his tongue had a special sensitivity to wine, which is why he was able to create the classic advertising slogan "When remy horse opens, good things come naturally".

But who would have thought that Huang Zhan's alcohol consumption would be so shallow, this is not half a catty!

Frustrated, Govin had no choice but to settle the bill, and then took the unconscious middle-aged uncle into a taxi and dragged him back to the Peninsula Hotel.

The day's trip had to be interrupted.

After waking up, Huang Zhan was very embarrassed, after all, the two were just acquaintances, and he was so ugly, he must have left an extremely bad impression on Gowen. And Huang Zhan knew that his wine was not good, and he once took off his clothes in public after getting drunk, and only wore underwear to show off; Once drunk, he peed at Jackie Chan, who greeted him, and almost beat Jackie Chan with a fat beating.

So without saying a few words to Govyn, Huang Zhan left in shame, and even forgot to bring the "Berlin Voice" that he had taken as his life before.

Only an inexplicable Gowen was left standing in place.

That's a wonderful guy!
