Chapter 6: Standing on the Giant's Head

Diana walked up to Harvey, staring straight at Harvey with her little head and beautiful eyes, the distance was very close, Harvey could vaguely smell the faint fragrance coming from her, because this look was too straight, and he didn't do anything bad or made him subconsciously turn his head and not dare to look at her.

Diana saw that Harvey's face didn't seem to be joking, and she clasped her hands and gestured for him to move the movable wooden staircase not far away.

Seeing that she was willing to help Harvey, he was very relieved, he was ignorant of the knowledge of this world, and he couldn't even call out the full name of the previous monarch of his country, and it was too wasteful to find the historical background that met the requirements one by one. Harvey Adrian usually has little contact with Diana, and her erudite comments are heard from other people's mouths.

He hurriedly pushed the movable staircase for footsteps, Diana stepped on the stairs and took down several thick books from the bookshelf and asked, "Why do you need such historical stories, these books are not suitable for showing your political ambitions, and you are not material for being a politician." ”

From Harvey's point of view, you can admire the graceful curves of her slender calves, leaving no trace and looking at her candidly answer: "I need to create, and the novel I am going to write should use a similar historical background." ”

Diana Bingxue was smart, and after a brief surprise when she heard the word "creative needs", she knew what Harvey wanted to do, and motioned for him to push the movable stairs to the side, she took out the books on the bookshelf and frowned: "Is it Leonard Press's essay?" There is still a week left before the deadline, and now you are looking for creative materials, which is indeed in line with the theme of this call for papers. ”

The tone of his voice was naturally sarcastic, with disdain for this essay ad and Harvey's half-baked approach.

"What do you mean?" Harvey touched his chin a little dazedly, feeling that there was something in her words.

Diana came down the stairs with a few books, pushed the movable stairs back and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, you're just wasting your time." There are many historical figures who meet your requirements, if you are writing stories, these books record the deeds of the fifth king of the kingdom of Augustine, he is a wise monarch who wants to save the country from decay, but because of the obstruction of the corrupt aristocratic forces, he was slandered and imprisoned, and after being imprisoned for three years, he was guillotined by the nobles, ironically, because of the propaganda of the aristocracy, all the citizens agreed that he was a mediocre monarch who did not care about state affairs and only enjoyed himself. ”

She handed the book in her hand to Harvey, looked him in the eye and continued to explain: "You should have heard this story, it has been included in the textbook in some academies, and it is used to describe the consequences of blind action, does it meet your requirements?" ”

The latter sentence was more like saying to Harvey, he looked at the books in his hand that were as thick as a Xinhua dictionary, the four books were "The Glory of Augustine", "The Autobiography of Augustine V", "The Blinded Eye", and "The Collapse of the Kingdom", which were very popular and compatible with Napoleon, so he nodded and thanked her: "Thank you very much, Ms. Cromwell." ”

"Mr. Adrian, it's rude."

Diana stroked the blonde hair from her ears, glanced at Harvey and left.

"If it's a man, it's a perfect fit for Prince Charming." Seeing Diana leave, Harvey sighed inwardly, found a remote place in the library and sat down, and began to flip through the historical biographical books that Diana had found for him.

As he expected, the content of the books was very boring, not as interesting as a history textbook, he found a notebook and studied it head-on, he read the books very quickly, and only when he found useful information would he stop and explore carefully, to find out where the contents of these books fit into the background of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Harvey stayed in the library from morning till night to concentrate on his research, eating the sandwich bento that Shirley had prepared for him when he was hungry, and asking the librarian for a glass of boiled water when he was thirsty.

······

In the evening, Harvey, who had gained a lot of money, returned to his house, and when Shirley was preparing dinner, he found that although the house was good, there was no study for the office, and he couldn't find a book. After throwing away Harvey Adrian's men's cosmetics and clearing a vacant spot, he took out his notes in the library and began to prepare for the creation of The Count of Monte Cristo.

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is the work of a well-deserved French writer Alexandre Dumas, even in modern times, Harvey does not think that his writing level can surpass this writer, he recalls the novel, animation and film content of this work, and restores the whole work from different angles.

The novel version of The Count of Monte Cristo is a story that belongs to Alexandre Dumas.

Versions such as movies and animations are the interpretation of this story by later generations.

Harvey sat in the spacious bedroom, the yellowed light spread on the white paper, holding the pen in one hand and not starting the pen for a long time, then closed his eyes and leaned against the table in deep thought. He has 12 intellectual attributes, his thoughts are much clearer than before, and he feels very little creative resistance, when he pays all his attention to the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo", the plot content in his mind slowly emerges from the water, he opens his eyes, and soon begins to write the outline of the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo" according to the historical background of this world.

"The story is set in the kingdom of Augustine, when the king was framed and imprisoned in a desert island prison, and the protagonist was ordered by the old captain to help the king deliver letters, and was arrested by the crew at that time to inform the nobles."

"The priest's identity needs to be carefully considered, and he should have known that he should continue to ask Diana if there is a story about the treasure."

"How should the protagonist's childhood sweetheart, Merce, be defined? She marries the protagonist's enemy, the ending of the movie and the novel is different, I remember that the movie version of her is reunited with the protagonist, and the protagonist of the novel version and the adopted daughter of the governor of Ali, Haidai, go away. The movie version is not good, the character of Mercetes has lost its highlight characteristics, although she is innocent, she loves the protagonist deeply, her identity is always the wife of the enemy, and the description of her character in the novel does not seem to be the type that is compounded with the protagonist. ”

"Haidai is the one who redeemed the male protagonist for the second time, and the identity of the female protagonist is very suitable."

Inspired by the wellsprings of inspiration, all the plots of The Count of Monte Cristo come together with the information he finds, the tip of the pen falls on the blank paper, and as Harvey's memories appear, one distinct character after another, who is both a character in the novel and a movie character, and Harvey's different views on them.

Melsey Tess, who is deeply in love with the main character Edmund

Wise Father Faria

Edmund's rival Fernand, a crew member who is in cahoots with Tangral

The impression of each character is so clear, because all they do is seen by Harvey. Not to create, but to retell the classics, he is standing on the head of a giant to complete this classic.
