Ni Zhen pointed his words directly at Lin Youlun, and the reporter's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Jin Yong is not only a famous martial arts novelist, but also enjoys a high reputation in the newspaper editorial circles, and many of the editorials he published during his presiding over Ming Pao are articles that have a great impact on social development; Mr. Huang Zhan's works are both elegant and popular, and many of the songs written by him have become classics. It is my father, Mr. Ni Yu, who is not only quite accomplished in science fiction, but also often dabbles in other types of works...... Lin Youlun has always written about martial arts, and if he can come up with influential works beyond the scope of this theme, I think he is really qualified to be called one of Hong Kong's four great talents along with three others. ”

Ni Zhen talked eloquently, and the reporter who interviewed him had already thought of the title of this news in his heart while recording it, which was called "Ni Zhen's son questioned Lin Youlun and said that he was not worthy of being called the same as his father!" 》

Although Ni Zhen's evaluation has the meaning of targeting Lin Youlun, the overall evaluation is quite objective, from the earliest "Iron and Blood Tianjiao" to the later "Kunlun", and later "Sou Shen Ji" and "Zhu Xian", Lin Youlun's works are indeed not out of the category of great martial arts.

It's just that what Ni Zhen didn't expect was that after the reporter's "clever processing", the content published in the newspaper completely changed. With this incident as the fuse, the controversy about which is stronger or weaker between Lin Youlun and Ni Yu has once again become a hot topic in the media.

Some media interviewed some passers-by on the street, and more than half of them were on Lin Youlun's side.

"I know that Ni Yu has written a lot of books, but it seems that all his books together don't sell as many as Lin Youlun's, right? I don't know exactly the numbers. But that's how I feel. An office worker replied.

A teenager is more direct. "I haven't read Ni Yu's book. I only love Lin Youlun. ”

Of course, there are also people who are more neutral, and an elderly middle-aged man said: "Actually, I like both of their books, and it's hard to say who is better, but I don't think it's inappropriate to compare them." ”

Even those who support Ni Yu will only talk about Lin Youlun's age, "After all, Ni Yu has come over for so many years, and it is not easy to occupy a place in the Hong Kong literary scene, and Lin Youlun is still too early to evaluate." After all, there is no guarantee that his future works will be as popular as they are now. ”

——

"There was a lot of noise in the newspapers, but Mr. Lin was still in the mood to find me for afternoon tea." Yu Zheng held a delicate teacup and looked at Lin Youlun who was sitting in front of her with a smile, let her mind be exquisite, and at this time, she couldn't guess the purpose of Lin Youlun's appointment to come out, so she had to test it with words first.

Lin Youlun put down the coffee cup in his hand, sat up straight and said, "I want to ask Miss Yu for help with something." ”

Yu Zheng frowned slightly, Lin Youlun had so many resources at his disposal, she really couldn't think of anything he would need to help with.

Lin Youlun seemed to see the doubts in Yu Zheng's heart, and took the initiative to explain: "Isn't Miss Yu the vice chairman of the commercial station now?" I have a piece on my hands. I want to serialize it on a radio station in the form of an audiobook. ”

Able to serve as the vice chairman of the commercial station. Yu Zheng is naturally no stranger to the audiobooks that Lin Youlun said, it also has a name called radio drama, at the very beginning of the birth of broadcasting, the status of radio drama is like the current TV series, once in the 50s, there was an oolong incident in the United States, a radio station produced a radio drama about aliens invading the earth, because of the use of news broadcast and live broadcast, so that many viewers who listened to the radio mistakenly thought that there were really aliens attacking the earth, and hurriedly watched their luggage and drove away from the area, Later, I realized that this was just a farce.

After figuring out Lin Youlun's purpose, Yu Zheng was even more puzzled, since Lin Youlun has a new work coming out, shouldn't he give priority to serialization in "Ming Pao"? Unless Lin Youlun has another purpose in doing so.

Yu Zheng's mind was in a hurry, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

Ni Zhen, the son of Ni Yu, stood up and questioned whether Lin Youlun was qualified to be shortlisted for the four talents in Hong Kong, thinking that Lin Youlun can only write martial arts novels, and the type of work is too single, although Lin Youlun has not expressed his position, but is he really indifferent to this matter? Maybe Lin Youlun doesn't take Ni Zhen in his eyes, it is true that there is a big gap between the identities and fame of the two, but now many people think that Ni Zhen's words were signaled by Ni Yu behind his back, if Lin Youlun really doesn't respond, it feels like he acquiesced that he is not as good as Ni Yu.

Lin Youlun wants to respond, of course, he will not jump out and argue with others in the newspaper, this is the usual method of other literati, but it is by no means the way Lin Youlun likes to adopt.

Throughout Lin Youlun's road to fame, he has faced all kinds of doubts, but he has never used the practice of direct refutation, partly because he disdains to explain, but more often, he likes to prove with facts, rather than spending his energy on the newspaper and other people's war of words.

The easiest way for Lin Youlun to refute Ni Zhen's doubts about him is to come up with a novel that is completely different from the past.

From Ni Zhen publicly questioning Lin Youlun's qualifications to be selected as one of the four talents in front of the media, it has been less than a week, and Lin Youlun was able to come up with a work in such a short period of time, which really surprised Yu Zheng, of course, there is also a possibility that Lin Youlun started writing this book very early, but Ni Zhen was unlucky and happened to hit the muzzle.

No matter which possibility it is, Yu Zheng is sure that Lin Youlun came to him this time for this matter, and he did not directly put this work on "Ming Pao" to serialize, but thought of the form of a radio drama, just to make everyone have nothing to say.

If Lin Youlun puts this work on "Ming Pao" and serializes it, it will certainly be able to block most people's mouths, but it is inevitable that some people will gossip, and it will be different if it is put on the commercial station.

Hong Kong Commercial Radio has always been known for its outspokenness, which is well received by Hong Kong citizens, and its credibility ranks third in Hong Kong. Lin Youlun has no direct interest in commercial radio, and commercial radio serializes his new works in the form of radio dramas, so that others have no reason to gossip.

In Yu Zheng's opinion, this idea is indeed a clever move that can solve all problems once and for all, but Lin Youlun's idea, in fact, she only guessed half right.

Lin Youlun had the idea of writing this novel, in fact, after he watched "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" in the United States, when he felt that there was no adventure movie like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Hong Kong, and he thought of this story in his heart.

At first, Lin Youlun's plan was just to adapt it into a movie, but "Oriental Daily" made such a selection of the four talents, which caused a storm in the city, so Lin Youlun decided to write this story into a novel first.

Because this novel is somewhat similar to storytelling in style, Lin Youlun had the idea of serializing it on the radio.

"When I went to the mainland last year, I met an interesting person on the train, and from him, I heard some very strange stories, and after I came back, I always wanted to write a novel, but I couldn't start writing it because of trivial matters. During this time, I finally had time to write a novel, because this story is related to the exploration of tomb robbing, and the style has some suspense and horror novel flavor, so I think this story will feel better in the way it is heard, and when this show is broadcast late at night, the audience is more likely to be brought into that mysterious atmosphere. ”

Yu Zheng was also intrigued by Lin Youlun's description, "Dare to ask what is the name of Mr. Lin's new work?" ”

"Ghost Blows the Lamp!"

——

"The following story is dictated by the author, the authenticity cannot be verified, do not enter the faint of heart!" The host's deep voice came from the radio, and the taxi driver and the passenger in the passenger seat were stunned.

"Damn, how can Thunder 881 broadcast such a tricky ghost story?" The taxi driver cursed in a low voice, freed his hand from the steering wheel, and prepared to change the channel.

The passenger stopped him, "Don't be busy, listen and give it a try." ”

The taxi driver reluctantly retracted his hand, he had to drive the night train at night, and he heard too many ghost stories, and he always felt hairy and unsteady in his heart.

"Tomb robbing is not a dinner party...... Tomb robbing is a technique, a technique of destruction. ”

The introduction of the story is told in the first person, and when I heard that it was related to tomb robbery, the taxi driver immediately breathed a sigh of relief, that kind of thing is too far from real life, that is, I will be scared when I listen to it, and I will generally not leave any shadow in my heart afterwards, which is much better than those ghost stories that are specifically scary.

The language style of this story is very straightforward, and there is a lot of colloquial content, but it really seems that the author listened to other people's stories and then directly paraphrased them.

The introduction only gave some introduction to tomb robbing, and the content was not too novel, and it was not until the last mention of the fragment of "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang of the Sixteen Characters" that the taxi driver and passengers were aroused some interest.

Halfway through the story of the white paper man in the first chapter, both of them in the car were already unconsciously attracted to the story, and when they passed an intersection, the taxi driver suddenly came back to his senses.

"Where did you say you were going to get off the bus?"

The passenger looked dazed, "Sha Tin Street, what's wrong?" ”

"Damn!" The taxi driver scolded loudly, and hurriedly turned the head of the car at the intersection in front, Sha Tin Main Street had already passed, he was fascinated by the story, and drove the car forward for such a long distance in a daze.

The passenger also understood at this time, and said angrily: "Hey, you don't remind me when you arrive, do you want to earn me more money?" ”

"It's not all your fault, I have to listen to this story, and I'm fascinated by it...... Anyway, did Hu Guohua go to the cemetery to find the white paper man after the most embarrassing? ”

"I don't know what to say, I just said that Hu Guohua was frightened and didn't dare to go at all, and then the story was over."

The two were still arguing about the fare at first, but when the quarrel came later, it turned into a plot discussion.

When he came to Sha Tin Main Street, the taxi driver stopped and said forget it, just calculate the previous fare, and count him for the extra section. The passenger was not happy to hear it, and said that if he hadn't taken this train, he might not have heard such an interesting story, and there was no need to say anything, and the fare should be as much as it should be.

The two argued with each other, and the matter was only over after the fare was compromised. (To be continued......)
