Chapter 134: Lust Ring
Although because of the poems "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" and "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", Fang Hong gradually became a little famous in Shanghai's literary circle, but generally he is reluctant to participate in writers' gatherings, because he doesn't think he is a literati from the bones, and at the beginning of the crossing, copying poems was because of livelihood problems, and now he has long looked down on that little money, so he doesn't write at all.
However, this time the drinking party was organized by Chu Minyi, and the participants were all a group of people in the puppet government who liked to dance and write, so he had to participate.
After greeting and socializing with a group of friends who were usually very familiar with each other, Fang Hong was about to sit down for a glass of wine and rest, when suddenly he saw two familiar faces in the corner on the side.
One is Hu Lancheng, the current deputy minister of the Propaganda Department and is said to have been very close to She Aizhen a while ago, and the other is Zhang Ailing, one of the four talented women of the Republic of China who Fang Hongjian has only seen photos.
Although Fang Hongjian in his previous life did not like Zhang Ailing's works very much, he had to admit her status and literary achievements that this is a female writer with a unique charm in words, and her person is as sensitive and cold as her works.
Looking at the pair of young men and women in front of him, Fang Hong gradually wondered in his heart, why were these two people so close in terms of hobbies and temperament, but in the end, they didn't come together? Why is it clear that She Aizhen and Hu Lancheng are not compatible anywhere, but in the end, the two of them are old?
With this doubt, as well as curiosity about the legendary writer Zhang Ailing, Fang Hong gradually walked over with a wine glass.
Seeing Fang Hong gradually coming over, Hu Lancheng took the initiative to help introduce: "Miss Zhang, this is Mr. Fang Hongjian Fang." Mr. Fang, this is Miss Zhang Ailing, who has recently emerged in the Shanghai literary scene, and the article "The First Incense of Agarwood Crumbs" is her work. ”
"Miss Zhang, look up for a long time, look up for a long time!"
Although Fang Hongji's long-term admiration is definitely from the heart, Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing don't think so, especially Zhang Ailing, and replied directly: "Mr. Fang is too famous, compared with your "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", my works are really unbearable. ”
Fang Hong gradually comforted: "Miss Zhang, you are also modest, although you don't have many works at present, but it can be seen that your personal style is close to forming, I firmly believe that as long as you find two good themes, you will be able to create a masterpiece, and I am already Jiang Lang's talent, don't you see that I can't write a word in the past two years?" ”
At this time, Hu Lancheng interjected on the side: "Speaking of good topics, just now I happened to talk to Miss Zhang about a topic that interests her very much, and the hero and heroine here happen to be Mr. Fang, and you also know each other." ”
Hearing that the hero and heroine knew each other, Fang Hongjian couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. Hu, what are you talking about, shouldn't it be the incident between Zheng Pingru and Director Ding?" ”
Hu Lancheng applauded: "Mr. Fang is really smart, that's right, that's it." Mr. Fang, what do you think of this theme? ”
"It depends on what kind of story you want to write about this theme." Fang Hong replied noncommittally.
"I think it's a good fit to be a poignant love story." Zhang Ailing said very confidently.
Although Fang Hong gradually knew that what Zhang Ailing was going to write was the famous "Lust Caution" in later generations, he still shook his head disapprerovingly and said: "To be honest, I really didn't see any poignancy in this matter. ”
"It's not poignant on its own, but you don't think it's a little bit altered, like this female agent who unexpectedly finds herself in love with her assassin after sneaking into his assassination target. Although she knew that this was a bad fate that could not have a result, she still threw herself into it without hesitation, and finally died in the arms of her lover. Don't you think this kind of love is poignant? Zhang Ailing said with a fascinated face.
Although Fang Hongjian also liked the movie "Lust and Caution" in his previous life, in this life, because he really saw Zheng Pingru and Ding Mocun, and knew the tragic situation of Zheng Pingru when he died, it was really difficult for him to accept Zhang Ailing's version, and even he felt that this was an insult to Zheng Pingru.
So he said coldly: "I don't deny that this is indeed a good story in terms of story, but I believe that if Miss Zheng Pingru has the opportunity to see this story, she will definitely not approve of your change, and even she will feel that it is an insult to her." Maybe because you're a love writer, you look at things from the perspective of love, but in that special kind of work, there will never be love, let alone falling in love with your enemies. ”
"But I wrote it as it was, so there's no need to pursue this kind of realistic rationality." Zhang Ailing argued.
"Yes, literature can be fictional and exaggerated, and I also like the atmosphere in your work, but when it comes to this matter, it may be because I know too much about it, so I can't accept it." Fang Hong said stubbornly.
Seeing that the two of them were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, Hu Lancheng hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "Actually, it's just one, why should everyone be so serious." Miss Zhang, in addition to Zheng Pingru's incident, I also know a lot of tortuous cases that can be taken out for your reference. Then he turned his head to Fang Hongjian and said, "Mr. Fang, it seems that in medicine, there is also a special summary of the symptoms of this kind of situation that triggers feelings due to frequent contact due to the fact that it is originally an antagonistic relationship, right?" Therefore, this change of Miss Zhang is also reasonable. ”
Fang Hong gradually knew that what Hu Lancheng was talking about was actually "Stockholm Syndrome", but at this time, there was no special definition and summary, it just existed as an example, and he didn't think that Zheng Pingru would have such a relationship with Ding Mocun, but at this time he also realized that he didn't need to be entangled with Zhang Ailing about this matter, anyway, with her temperament, it wasn't that if she didn't let her write it, she would definitely not write it, as for the merits and demerits, it would be left to future generations to comment.
PS: Actually, before writing this book, I also liked "Lust and Caution", Tang Wei and Tony Leung are actors I like very much, but it may be because I wrote the plot of Zheng Pingru and Ding Mocun before, especially after writing the plot of Zheng Pingru's torture that was forced to be revised, it is difficult for me to look at this movie with my previous mentality, so there will be a tangle in this chapter.
