Chapter 147. Seal the pen to remember the rivers and lakes
It is inevitable that Jin Yong wants to see Chen Xiaotang, and this young man who has never been masked can be regarded as having an indescribable "fate" with Jin Yong.
First of all, Chen Xiaotang's "Searching for Qin" is being serialized in "Ming Pao", and the letters from those who read books are almost crowding the mailbox of "Ming Pao".
Secondly, almost all of the dramas filmed by Chen Xiaotang are adapted from Jin Yong's works. Chen Xiaotang himself also became popular with these dramas and was known as the "king of supporting roles".
In the end, it was this young actor who was born out of thin air, and he even wrote a fanfiction script related to himself, which is not strange for you to say.
Based on the above three points, Jin Yong is bound to meet this "superstrange" young man to see if he has three heads and six arms.
As Jin Yong's old friend, Fang Yihua has worked with him for so long, and he has never seen him care so much about a person. So Fang Yihua arranged a time for Chen Xiaotang to meet with Master Jin Yong.
……………………………………… March 15, 1983.
The sky was slightly bright, and a meter of sunlight shone through the glass on the window on Chen Xiaotang's awake eyes, and he got up dimly, and saw his mother Li Shuzhen standing beside her bed with a bowl of soup with a smile.
"Wow, why are you here?" Chen Xiaotang will be busy wrapping his boxers with a quilt.
"Cut, decrepit boy, you were born to me, I haven't seen anything, and what are you ashamed of!" Li Shuzhen said as she handed over the soup bowl and said, "Quick, drink it while it's hot, this is the licorice soup I got up early in the morning to make for you, clear the heat and remove the fire, it is the most suitable for people who stay up late!" ”
Chen Xiaotang couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the manuscript he rushed out overnight last night was still spread on the table, I am afraid that he stayed up all night last night. My mother also stayed up all night. How can there be a mother in this world who doesn't feel sorry for her son, after all, it is a piece of meat that falls from her body.
"Okay, Mom, just rest by yourself in the future, you don't have to serve me like this!"
"When you have a wife, of course, you won't need me to serve you-" Li Shuzhen said with a smile, "Ah Tang, although your career is tight, you also have to make a girlfriend." Your dad is nagging in my ear all day long, saying that you are a very positive person in everything you do, but you just don't like to be dragged on, and he is still waiting to hold his grandson-"
"I think it's you who wants to hold your grandson!" Chen Xiaotang drank all the soup in the soup bowl with a smile and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll handle my own affairs!" ”
"Heh, are you annoyed with me? If it weren't for you being my son, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you! After Li Shuzhen finished speaking, she said with a smile: "The last time that Weng Meiling came, it seems that she is a little interesting to you......"
"Don't talk nonsense, we're just pure friends, nothing!" Of course, Chen Xiaotang knows that if his mother knows the real relationship between himself and Weng Meiling, it will undoubtedly be more powerful than holding a loudspeaker to publicize.
"Really, nothing?" Li Shuzhen looked at her son suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, if it's fake!" Chen Xiaotang said in a firm tone.
Li Suzhen didn't give up and said: "Actually, Ah Tang ...... I'm a very open person, even if you really find an insider to be your wife, I can withstand it......"
"Mom, how many times have you asked me to say it, it's nothing—okay, I'm going to get dressed, you go out first!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go out, hurry up, I'll make your favorite preserved egg and lean porridge!" Li Shuzhen took the empty soup bowl and closed the door and left.
Chen Xiaotang scratched his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting up and dressing and washing, Chen Xiaotang looked at the manuscript on the table, but this draft was not a draft of his "Looking for Qin", but a detailed outline of the follow-up plot.
After carefully reviewing the general content of the manuscript, Chen Xiaotang packed the manuscript like a baby.
Before he could get downstairs, he heard the horn of a car outside. Chen Xiaotang then remembered that he had called Liu Dehua before and asked him to drive him to meet Jin Yong.
No way, he can act as a "free driver" among a few friends.
In addition, after the recent broadcast of "The Condor Heroes" starring Liu Dehua, his "Yang Guo" was so popular that no matter whether it was men, women or children, shouted "Guo'er" when they saw him, and Liu Dehua's ears were calloused and his scalp was numb. If Liu Dehua rose to prominence on TV with a "Falcon" before, then now, with this "The Condor Heroes", he has established the status of "the master of the house", and his popularity is close to Huang Yuehua, who started earlier than him. There is a momentum of latecomers taking over.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xiaotang believes that whether it is Jin Yong or Liu Dehua, the two must also want to meet, and he just followed their wishes.
The car horn kept honking, urging Chen Xiaotang to hurry downstairs, and his mother Li Shuzhen was warmly receiving Liu Dehua and saying some homely words.
Chen Xiaotang couldn't care about breakfast, said goodbye to his parents, parents and little sister, and went straight to the car and left.
In the car, Liu Dehua looked at Chen Xiaotang's outfit. couldn't help laughing: "Ah Tang, you won't go to see Master Jin Yong like this, right?" ”
Chen Xiaotang looked at his clothes, white shirt, dark suit, there was nothing wrong.
"Your clothes are too old!" Liu Dehua pointed out, "This will be very rude in the past, Jin Yong is a famous newspaper tycoon!" ”
The corners of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled up and said: "No way, I've been filming all the time, and I basically don't have much time to wear my own clothes in a month, I'm wearing costumes——"
"Then do you want to drive the car to Wangjiao and buy you a set first?"
"No need, Jin Yong wants to see me as a person, not my clothes!" Chen Xiaotang waved his hand, and then lay back, "Give me some oil, hurry up!" ”
Seeing his "comfortable" appearance, Liu Dehua couldn't help but be jealous: "I only know the benefits of not being able to drive now-you can lie down and be an uncle!" ”
Chen Xiaotang ignored the complaints of this "coachman", squinted his eyes and began to make up for his sleep
Jin Yong's place of residence is in the halfway up the mountain where there are many wealthy people in Xiangjiang. Although there are many wealthy people here, they are also divided into categories, most of the ordinary merchants live relatively close to the merchants, and the literati and ink writers call themselves a district, near the mansion where Jin Yong lives, there are several other famous cultural celebrities in Xiangjiang, such as Ni Yu, who wrote the "Wesley" legendary series, lives very close to Jin Yong.
When Chen Xiaotang and Liu Dehua drove to Jin Yong's house, it was just more than nine o'clock in the morning, usually at this time, Jin Yong had already gotten up to finish Tai Chi and write the manuscript, and should be feeding his beloved Jinyu, but today due to the weather, he got up late, so when Chen Xiaotang and they just arrived, he happened to be writing the manuscript in the study.
Although Jin Yong has been reminiscing about the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has developed a habit, and he feels itchy when he doesn't write anything a day.
After letting the servant pass the report, under his leadership, Chen Xiaotang and Liu Dehua came to the outside of the study.
After the servant knocked on the door, he gently opened the door, and then motioned for Chen Xiaotang and them to enter.
Chen Xiaotang's steps were very light, but they still alarmed Jin Yong.
Jin Yong, who was writing an article with a pen, raised his head: "You guys are here." ”
"Sorry to bother you." Chen Xiaotang introduced himself, "I'm Chen Xiaotang, and this is my friend Liu Dehua, who took the liberty of coming over and disturbed me." ”
"Liu Dehua?" Jin Yong was stunned and glanced at the ploughshare beside Chen Xiaotang, "But that Liu Dehua in "The Condor Heroes" is being broadcast? ”
"Yes, Mr. Cha, that's me." Liu Dehua said with a smile.
Jin Yong suddenly became interested, originally he had a lot of complaints about Chen Xiaotang bringing people privately, but he didn't expect this person to be "Yang Guo" who became popular with his novels.
"Hehe, you acted quite well, you played Yang Guo's infatuation in my novel very well, and the one who played the little dragon girl is also very good, Bingqing Yujie, I like it very much."
Liu Dehua didn't expect Jin Yong to praise himself so much, and he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed for a while.
"In fact, I didn't think I was optimistic about you when you played Yang Guo, don't feel wronged, it's all because of your hooked nose ......"
Jin Yong's words made Liu Dehua a little incomprehensible, touched his nose, and looked a little depressed, "I didn't expect my nose to cause such trouble." ”
"Haha, generally speaking, men with hooked noses look sinister and mean, I don't want my Yang Guo to be such a person. But I have to admit that I was wrong now, your face just explains what it means to be heroic - there is no doubt that I have also seen "Falcon" starring you, but I haven't finished watching it. ”
Liu Dehua listened to the twist and turn, and his originally depressed face showed joy again.
Chen Xiaotang next to him couldn't help but admire, this Jin Yong master is really sharp enough, and a few words made the ploughshare cry and laugh.
After Jin Yong and Liu Dehua said a few words briefly, Jin Yong looked at Chen Xiaotang again and said: "You are the one who can act, write books, and now you are the great talent Chen Xiaotang who has made up the script, haha, I have been admiring it for a long time, and now I finally see it!" ”
Chen Xiaotang hurriedly said apologetically: "I dare not be ashamed, especially in front of the master, I am really embarrassed." ”
Jin Yong smiled heartily and stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down and talk, while someone next to him helped them pour tea and water.
This is where the formal conversation begins.
And Chen Xiaotang always felt that this time Jin Yong wanted to see himself, it was not as simple as he imagined
