Chapter 356: Interview
Although the turmoil at the dinner party made Govin as disgusted as swallowing a fly, Govin did not choke on it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter when and where, there will be strange opinions and strange people appearing, which is applicable everywhere. You don't see how many so-called Hong Kong elites have been slapped in the face by the reality ten years after the Zhuang Fengyuan case, and how many Chinese people have laughed. There is a saying that is not wrong at all, if you don't die, you won't die at all, and some people want to die by themselves, so what can be done as someone else?
As for Mr. Ai Qing's mood, Govin can only hope that he will take care of his body and try his best to contribute to this exchange.
With the launch of Ming Pao on the third day, Govin finally could not be as leisurely as before. In this supplement, the editor of Ming Pao added an editor's note in front of Govin's "Hengge" column, detailing Gowen's identity as a mainland writer and his creative experience.
As a result, the answer to this question, which had puzzled many Hong Kong readers for many days, was published by Ming Pao.
The readership of Ming Pao is the middle class and intellectuals in Hong Kong, so everyone has always been puzzled by this prose master who suddenly appeared in the supplement of Ming Pao.
Because Govyn really seemed to have jumped out of a crack in the stone, and there was no trace of it before. So much so that some people speculate that he should be the vest of a well-known writer in Hong Kong, and some people speculate whether he will be a new famous artist in Taiwan, but one thing is certain for everyone, that is, Govin must be a middle-aged or old man who is rich and talented, otherwise he would not know so many strange historical allusions.
However, the editor's note of this issue of the "Ming Pao" supplement made everyone stunned.
Govin is only 27 years old?!
Govin turned out to be a writer from the mainland?!
Govin turned out to be the author of "The Rise of a Great Power" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" broadcast by China Central Radio last year?!
Many people think of the mainland military parade that they paid attention to on the National Day in 84, many people think of the upsurge of discussion in Hong Kong last year because of the broadcast of "The Rise of a Great Power", and many people think of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that took over "The Rise of a Great Power" last year.
Tsk, no wonder he writes such good historical prose!
Many people then sighed.
However, is Govan really only 27 years old? That's a bit of a genius, isn't it?
Hong Kong readers, who were originally curious because of the prose that suddenly appeared, became even more curious and amazed after learning about Gowen's identity.
As a result, a few little girls who originally thought that the newspaper had announced Gowen's identity and that they could finally relax a little more easily answered the hotline of "Ming Pao", and they were in a hurry again, panting again.
Ahhhh......h I'm quitting!
Nasty check boss!
Nasty Govyn!
The grievances in the hearts of several little girls are unknown, because history never stops for ordinary people.
Belch...... No, we need to remove Govern, who wrote "Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong".
But even Govin didn't notice that there were so many little girls who were tired and tired because of him.
On these days in August 1985, the international situation was as usual, and Hong Kong was busy and peaceful as usual, but on this day, Hong Kong, which had been quiet for a long time, finally set off a hot spot that excited all the media.
The outdoor reporters of Hong Kong TVB and Hong Kong ATV, who have been competing with each other in order to grab ratings, gathered at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong on the morning of the publication of the editor's note in the supplement of Ming Pao. And a number of Hong Kong gossip tabloids such as "Daily Daily", "Headline Daily", "Star Weekly", "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" and so on are even more incisive, asking hotel staff everywhere where Govin lives.
It was not until a staff member from the Xinhua News Agency who was in charge of the outreach work of the exchange group came forward that it was finally stopped: "Sorry everyone, Comrade Govin is not in the hotel right now, and I ask you to cooperate and not disturb the normal business of the hotel." ”
"Where did he go?"
"You're not hiding him, are you?"
"I protest, we media have the right to be free to interview!"
……
In the face of the group of peers in front of him, who asked questions or threatened with words, this Xinhua News Agency elite, who had accompanied the country's leaders to interview other country's political leaders many times, smiled and behaved appropriately, and directly cleared this group of scum out of the Peninsula Hotel with one or ten, so that the foreign manager on duty at the Peninsula Hotel, who was already anxious, gave a thumbs up, "Yours, amazing!" ”
While being modest in English, the Xinhua News Agency elite complained in their hearts, what kind of little devil are you a British!
And where is Govan if he is not at The Peninsula?
That night, Jin Yong introduced Govin to Hong Kong's cultural circles, and in addition to a group of writers and critics, there were also editors-in-chief or editors of several major print media in Hong Kong.
And the print media editors who can be recognized and invited by Jin Yong, the boss of "Ming Pao", are not elites or elves.
In the face of the sudden appearance of Govine, these editors reacted as early as the first time, and it seems that the recent hot spots in Hong Kong are all on this person! Later, everyone interacted with Govin at the dinner party, and also talked about the competitors.
At that time, Wang Shiyu, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", saw that the situation was not good, but the boss Jin Yong only cared about what legislation was going on with a group of literati, so he had to work together and make a contract with the editors of the print media -- "Ming Pao" must announce the identity of Ge Wen! After "Ming Pao" announced Gowen's identity, everyone conducted an interview with Gowen, and as for how to write the interview, each according to his ability. As for the future when each family wants to conduct an exclusive interview with Gowen, Gowen himself will order troops and generals.
Wang Shiyu's method of avoiding internal friction and ensuring fairness to the greatest extent has been unanimously recognized by a number of print media editors, including "Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", etc., so there is the current scene.
In a café near the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, a casually-dressed Govin sits back in a chair, a cup of coffee on the table in front of him emitting a rich aroma. On the opposite side of the round table, several people are standing or sitting. Someone was taking pictures with a camera, someone was holding a pen and quickly jotting something down in a notebook, and someone was looking at Govin curiously asking questions.
"So you're still Mr. Barkin's apprentice?" A reporter could hardly suppress his excitement and repeated in a slightly hoarse voice.
Next to this reporter, the others also had a look of surprise on their faces.
No wonder these reporters were excited.
That's Ba Jin!
In the whole of Hong Kong, if there is any mainland writer who is the most famous and admired by Hong Kong people, it is Ba Jin.
Since 1953, when Hong Kong Zoomlion adapted Ba Jin's novel of the same name "Home", Ba Jin's works have been adapted into films in Hong Kong. Moreover, as early as the sixties and seventies, there were many works by Ba Jin in Hong Kong language textbooks, such as "Stars", "Hong Kong Night", "Bird's Paradise", "Poems of Machines", "Lamps", etc., and so on.
Since the resumption of communication between Hong Kong and the mainland in the late 70s, Ba Jin was the first and only writer to open a column in a Hong Kong newspaper. The "Caprice" column he opened in Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao" attracted a rush of newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong to reprint it, and quickly set off a long-lasting "Bajin fever."
Now everyone knows from Govern's mouth that he is a disciple of Ba Jin, and once such news is published, it is bound to set off a huge wave in Hong Kong.
"Uh...... What's wrong with this? Govyn was stared at by the cannibalistic gaze around him, and changed his posture a little uncomfortably.
"No, no."
"It's good."
"I admire Mr. Barkin!"
“……”
Several reporters scribbled through their notebooks, and then one reporter asked, "What do you think is the biggest influence that Mr. Ba Jin has had on you?" ”
Govin thought for a moment and replied seriously: "It's his spirit!" Conscience, responsibility, self-discipline and the ability to think independently ......"
……
"Govine, from the article "The Rise of Great Powers", it can be seen that you also have a certain amount of research and thinking on the international situation and politics, may I ask Govern, do you have any suggestions or views on the members of the Hong Kong Basic Law Drafting Committee?" One remembered that he suddenly turned the topic to the drafting of the Basic Law, which is now of concern to many people in Hong Kong.
Govin did not answer the question in the first place.
In fact, as early as knowing that there was such an interview, Govin had already expected that he would not be able to avoid such a question, and he also asked Mr. Ai Qing for instructions for this.
Govin remembered that Mr. Ai Qing did not tell him how to answer, but talked about the ideological battle at the end of the banquet that night, and then asked him if he agreed with the so-called democrats. At that time, Govin immediately shook his head and said that if Hong Kong is really handed over to those bombastic democrats, I am afraid that Hong Kong will soon become populist, and then lose its prosperity and stability. After Govin finished speaking, Mr. Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and then told Govin with relief that it was enough for him to tell him what he really thought.
"Throughout history and social development, such a system as 'one country, two systems' has never existed, and the creativity of this scientific conception is unprecedented. In my opinion, the members of the drafting committee of the Basic Law in Hong Kong should first make one point clear -- that is, without one country, there will be no two systems. In addition, the current political system of Hong Kong people is not the British system or the American system, so we should not copy the Western system in the future, and we should submit the draft according to the actual situation......"
