537 Count Russell
Why was Zhou Hexuan able to come up with a rough plot in an instant?
It's simple, there are so many works that can be borrowed.
For example, in terms of overall architectural creativity, he somewhat imitates "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "White Deer Plain". The story content of the opening part is inspired by the TV series "Breaking through the East". Regarding the chapter of the Northeast Horse Bandit Green Forest, he plans to learn from Yao Xueyin's "Long Night" writing method. There are also features of a number of classics that he is ready to incorporate into.
Of course, these are just references, and there is no plagiarism at all.
For example, Duanmu Yuliang's "Horqin Banner Grassland" imitates "Dream of Red Mansions" in many details. But the content of these two books is not the same, no matter how much you pick the bones in the egg, it can only be said that Duanmu Yuliang is paying tribute to "Dream of Red Mansions".
Similarly, Lin Yutang's later "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is also a high-end copy of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Can you say that "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is plagiarized?
No way.
The chapter that Zhou Hexuan plans to write about Breaking through the Guandong, compared with the TV series "Breaking the Guandong", are all immigrants from Shandong, and they all have gold rush plots, and there is no overlap in addition.
As for Yao Xueyin's "The Long Night", Zhou Hexuan just appropriated its angle presentation. Even if you compare it word by word, you can't see any similarities at all.
There is also "White Deer Plain", which Zhou Hexuan likes very much, he directly imitates the overall creativity, and even borrows some of them.
Therefore, the history of the changes in Northeast China that Zhou Hexuan wants to write is likely to be blocked by the Nationalist Government, and then continue to be blocked by New China.
It will probably not be allowed to be published unabridged until after 1990. As for making movies and TV series without reservation, it is estimated that it will have to wait until after 2020, because Zhou Hexuan will write a lot of so-called "black history".
You must know that Mr. Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain", until Zhou Hexuan crossed the time, it could not be adapted into film and television works in its original form. Whenever "White Deer Plain" appears on TV or the big screen, without exception, it is all a castrated version of the magic change.
Even if it is only a film, "White Deer Plain" must be revised by itself before it can be used to win the Mao Dun Literature Award - if it is not changed, it can only be nominated at most, and it cannot be awarded.
Zhou Hexuan didn't want to hack anyone in it, whether it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Kuomintang Party, the Communist Party or the Japanese invaders, he just wanted to write as truthfully as possible and restore the changes of the times in the Northeast in the past 80 years to the greatest extent.
Just do it!
Zhou Hexuan stayed at home for a whole month, consulted Duanmu Yuliang and Zhang Xueliang's secretary and adjutant, and recorded everything they said about the customs of the Northeast. Then he went to Beiping to chat with the students of Northeastern University and Feng Yong University, and then went to the exiled masses in Northeast China to talk nonsense, and wrote a record of 200,000 words about the stories, customs, and legends of the Northeast.
Zhou Hexuan also specially studied the Shandong and Northeast dialects, and prepared to add many local dialects, so that it would be more suitable for the people of the Northeast.
Just the preliminary preparations, Zhou Hexuan spent three months.
Zhang Xueliang knew that Zhou Hexuan was going to write a huge work about the Northeast, and offered to help. Before he left Tianjin, he found a lot of relevant materials for Zhou Hexuan in Northeast China, such as military maps, mineral distribution, local county records, prices over the years, disaster timelines, and so on.
It wasn't until mid-June that Zhou Hexuan really started writing and tentatively named "Black Earth".
Before that, the most depressed may be those British readers - after the serialization of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", it stopped for four weeks, looking like Lao Tzu might be a eunuch.
Bastard!
……
University College London, Aldrich-Corey laboratory.
Aldrich carefully flipped through the experimental data and sighed: "Alas, it failed again! ”
"We're going to make it." Gene Corey said confidently.
"I hope it will happen sooner." Aldrich said helplessly.
Since the successful discovery of sulfonamide, Aldrich has been developing new sulfonamides. But unfortunately, half a year has passed, and they have only experienced one failure after another.
Just then, a student suddenly rushed in and said, "Tutor, there is a Mr. Dumac from Germany who wants to see you." ”
"Dumak?" Aldrich was overjoyed, "Invite him in!" ”
Gerhard Dumark, a German biologist, was the first person in history to discover the antibacterial effect of "Hundred Waves and More Rest", for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
At this time, the scientific and literary circles were keen to write letters, and Dumac and Aldrich corresponded for two months, discussing the progress of research on sulfonamides.
Some time ago, Aldrich officially extended an invitation to Dumak, hoping that the other party could join his laboratory.
Dumak agreed without much thought, because the Nazis were going on in Germany, and at the beginning of the year there was even an anti-Nazi demonstration of 100,000 people in Berlin. The ensuing Reichstag arson case frightened many Germans even more, and Dumac himself did not want to stay in Germany any longer.
"Hello, Mr. Dumac!" Aldrich greeted him warmly.
"Hello," said Dumac, who came in with a large suitcase, and said with a smile, "this is a gift I have brought, all the experimental materials on sulfonamides. ”
"Great!" Aldrich's eyes lit up with excitement.
With the addition of Dumac and the experimental data he brought, it is believed that the research and development of new sulfonamides will be much faster.
Compared to the joy of these scientists, Vivien Leigh's father Ernis is obviously much more depressed.
Aminsulfonamide was officially put into production in early February this year, and it has been a month now. As an emerging powerful antibacterial drug, sulfonamides encounter a very embarrassing problem, that is, it is difficult to be promoted.
Even though Aldrich's paper caused a small sensation in the medical community, only a very small number of British doctors are willing to try this new drug for patients. In other words, amisulfonamide is still in the clinical stage for the time being.
By the way, at this time, governments were not strictly regulating drugs, and morphine was even considered a panacea by many doctors.
For example, in 1937, an American pharmacist formulated sulfa elixir, and dared to provide it to patients on a large scale without even understanding the side effects. As a result, more than 300 people experienced acute kidney failure, including 107 deaths, and directly led to the revision of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in the United States, one of the important provisions of which is that drugs must be labeled with side effects.
The same is true of the pharmaceutical factory run by Annis now, which wants to sell the new drug viplamide as soon as it is made. As for the side effects of the medicine, and any allergic reactions and the like, no one will care about it, and wait until something happens.
……
Thompson Hospital, London.
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
Portland Russell coughed frantically, as if he was about to pull his lungs out of his throat.
The doctor said with a serious expression: "Count Russell, your pneumonia is more serious, it's better not to stay up late and smoke." ”
"I will, ahem," Russell said uncomfortably, "please prescribe me the most powerful medicine, I really don't want to cough like a tuberculosis patient anymore." ”
The doctor thought for a while and said, "Recently, there is a new drug called triamsulfonamide, which has a good therapeutic effect on pneumonia, and I have already tested it in several patients. Do you need to come some? ”
"New medicine," Russell hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "then let's have a little." ”
This is the most difficult part of the drug promotion at this stage, because there is no safety guarantee, and many patients refuse to take new drugs.
Russell is not afraid of death, he suffered from severe malaria in China more than 10 years ago, so much so that the Japanese rumored that he died of illness, and now he is still alive.
Back home, Russell began writing as soon as he took sulfonamide pills. Although his grandfather was prime minister twice, his father was a member of Parliament, and he himself had the title of earl, but unfortunately his parents died early and the family was in a bad situation, Russell now has a tight life, and has to rely on manuscript fees to subsidize the family - he has to support his ex-wife and current wife's two families, and he has to pay to maintain the experimental school he founded.
By the time he finished writing the manuscript, three hours had passed, and Russell was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that he was no longer coughing!
Just like when penicillin was first introduced, sulfonamides were a miracle cure for all diseases in the early 30s, and they worked very quickly, because there was no resistance.
Early the next morning, Russell went to the hospital for a follow-up, only to be told by the doctor that the pneumonia had been cured.
Russell was very surprised by this, and when he asked the doctor, he learned that vipsulfonamide was discovered by a famous Oriental wizard, and he also published a co-signed paper in The Lancet last year.
Russell was very fond of Chinese culture, and also lectured at Southeast University (Central University), and wrote a lot about China in recent years. In addition to his joy, he easily praised the new drug called "ambenylsulfonamide" in his newly written manuscript, claiming that this medicine only took three hours to cure his pneumonia.
After this article came out, it didn't cause much repercussions, but it was discovered by Vivien Leigh's daddy Ounis.
Realizing that the opportunity to promote sulfonamide had come, Ernis hurriedly threw money at it and found more than a dozen newspapers to report it on a large scale.
Who is Russell?
The grandson of the former British Prime Minister, an earl and nobleman, a famous philosopher, mathematician, logician, historian, writer, and social activist...... This long list of titles is hung out, and it is still very scary, and it has a good publicity effect.
