Signing from HK Comprehensive becomes a legend

Chapter 719 This Author Has the Capital of a Great Writer

A new day, Hong Kong Island Yau Ma Tei.

A gentle man with glasses was walking on his way to work. When passing by a street newsstand, he smiled and said to Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, here is a South China Morning Post and a Hong Kong Island Daily."

Abo at the newsstand skillfully took out two newspapers and handed them over, "Awen, would you like to read a book? The latest Titanic and Roman Holiday are all five yuan a piece, and both English and Chinese versions are available. have."

Awen, the man with glasses, asked in surprise, "Titanic?"

This was 1950. There were a lot of illiterate people on the streets, but the literate ones were even rarer, let alone proficient in English.

Even educated people may not know what it is when they hear the Titanic for the first time, but Ah Wen knows that it was not the most luxurious and largest Olympic-class cruise ship in the world in the 20s?It has an unsinkable reputation.

Then it sank on its first voyage...

This is also a small disaster in the history of modern navigation.

In times of peace, the sudden sinking of such a Titanic is naturally a huge disaster, but two years after it sank, World War I, compared with the latter?There is no comparison at all.

Thinking of this, Awen suddenly became interested, "Give me two copies of Titanic."

A novel priced at five yuan is not cheap.

However, Arwen is also a well-paid cultural person. He is a reporter for the South China Morning Post, and his background is not bad. He was born on Hong Kong Island, but went to Shanghai to study. He studied journalism. In the previous years, he could study journalism at a university Yes, the family environment will not be too bad.

Not to mention the South China Morning Post, which he works for, is an authoritative and well-known English-language newspaper that has swept across Asia.

Newsstand Xu Bo smiled and took out two books, "Here we come."

Arwen glanced at it hastily, first put the newspaper and the English version of Titanic under his arm, and flipped through the Chinese version of Titanic while walking.

At first glance, this book is about 20 characters in total. The printing is exquisite, and the quality of the paper is not bad. It is worthy of its price of five yuan.

Walking and watching, Arwen frowned when he arrived at the minibus stop, and even cursed in his heart. How could this beautiful Titanic be described from the perspective of several island country heroes and heroines?
Even though the male and female protagonists of the island country have English names such as Jack, Ruth, and Carl respectively, so as to integrate into the social environment in London, but as an authentic Chinese, Ah Wen is still very depressed. He has the feeling of buying the wrong book and wanting to refund the money. impulse.

When he sees the bus coming...

Ah Wen decisively put away the book, got in the car, and started reading the newspaper.

………………

A busy day passes.

When Ah Wen returned to the office with some interview tools, he walked to his seat, and saw a white editor-in-chief in the editorial room with an excited face and a touch of flushing red, "Zou, where did you buy your Titanic? Bravo!"

"This book is really great, how about transferring it to me? How much did you spend, I will pay you."

Awen was taken aback, with a question mark on his face.

Titanic?Matthew, the editor-in-chief of the ghost, saw it, and thought it was very good-looking? ?

No, a story with a man and woman in an island country as the protagonists, what value do you have for a white man who never falls?empathy?
Confused, Ah Wen still nodded, "Then I will give it to you, no need to pay."

Five yuan is only a fortune that an ordinary new uniformed police officer doesn't need to care about. Only the people at the bottom will care more about this number.

Matthew immediately laughed and patted Awen, "Okay, thanks, I'm going to take it back and read it again."

Ah Wen's expression became a little more weird. You just finished reading a novel with about 20 words in one day?It can only be said that he not only has a good reading speed, but also fishes during the day and doesn't work much.

After Matthew left, Ah Wen thought about it, and returned home with the Chinese version of Titanic.

then……

Zou Awen didn't sleep all night, and he was shocked and overwhelmed in the second half of the night. With his literary quality, he can only say that this book is full of words and stories.

There are many classic sentences, not too many famous quotes, and so on.

It can be said that the first half is a yearning and acclaimed pure and beautiful love story. Since a white-skinned Taylor came out, how can it have the style of watching an educational channel?

Look at how Ruth, an island heroine who was innocent and romantic and longed for free love, became a Stockholm syndrome patient?
Yes, Arwen didn’t know about Stockholm Syndrome before, but the author in the article has taken the initiative to explain the disease. It is an island medical scientist who arrived after the Titanic disaster. My sister's house, after arriving in Tokyo.

The medical scientist knew the heroine Ruth...he was also a good friend of Ruth's, and had heard a little about her love story, so he narrated this disease in an extremely complicated tone.

That was when Ruth's heart of love was dead, but she gave birth to four children for Taylor in five years, and she had to take care of Taylor, a street scum, like a 24-hour nanny while taking care of the children.

Taylor, the original Niubuluo tramp, has indeed become a successful person. He is a well-known philanthropist and big entrepreneur in Tokyo.

Wives and concubines have a lot of children and grandchildren.

However, the process of his fortune was based on cheating, abducting and gangsters.

At the moment when he saw the dawn, Ah Wen felt a deep worry. He finally understood the depth and thickness of this novel. Isn’t this another literary description and summary of the European white people sweeping the world and occupying the world? what?
Is this the historical facts of European pirates, criminals, etc., who burned, killed, looted North and South America, Asia, Africa, etc., and thus became rich and prosperous, written into a novel?

Decades ago, countless Niu Buluo people reached the pinnacle of life just like that. Now, Niu Buluo has fallen from the altar, but Amei is the successor.

A novel of about 20 words, there is a certain content of the historical description of the rise of the happy Ingeland to a cow that does not fall, there is also a description of the social environment of the island country from the Chinese students to the Meiji Restoration, and the first half of the ant in the sister’s family who turned into an elephant length.

This is part of the content of the rise of great powers.

No wonder...the editor-in-chief, Matthew, read it with such a sense of substitution.

The first half of this Titanic is the purest beautiful love story of a princess in distress meeting a handsome guy on the street. It seems that there is still a tendency to elope against the orders of her parents for freedom and love, similar to Romeo and Juliet.

In the second half of the chapter, two of the top three male and female protagonists died, one became a patient with Stockholm syndrome, and the newly killed white homeless Taylor became the protagonist in a cool style.

Zhao Xueyan's novel texts, writing styles, plots, succession, etc., which are manifested with human merits, are definitely the world's top literary level, and the strength to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Brilliant pens, brilliant writing, sharp writing, etc. are the most basic descriptions.

Zou Awen read the full text from the perspective of a Chinese, and the biggest feeling in his heart... The three island countrymen's protagonists are so cool, so hilarious, and he can't fit into the perspective of a white Taylor, but just watching the devils have a bad luck, there is a feeling Invigorating comfort.

Don't think he is narrow, he is a simple and narrow person.

"This book is going to be popular, the author is a great writer!"

"As far as my literary quality is concerned... white people must like this book very much."

"And this is not without criticism and educational significance. The biggest meaning of this is that if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you rise to become a big country, you will have happiness and development from top to bottom! If you don't want to be as miserable as the protagonist in the story, you must be a nation. Self-improvement... A vagabond who can rise up to become a sister and a leader of the island society in a short period of time often takes advantage of his status as a great person to make trouble."

"It's not that the cow doesn't shed its skin, and I don't know how many times it has died."

In the current year, even the peninsula war has not yet begun, and all kinds of literary masterpieces in the white world are still more popular and higher in the literary world than Chinese masterpieces.

The second half of this Titanic is a description of what happened in World War I. After World War I and before World War II, how Taylor rose to dominate by breaking the law and committing crimes. important.

The educational criticism and warning function contained in its literary value are really full.

Various details or other content, such as the influence and expansion of the rise of a great power on society, on the development of a single individual and the improvement of a family, are of course more specific than movies.

With a lot of emotion, Zou Awen heard a knock on the door, and when he put down the novel to open the door, he saw a young man in a suit standing outside the door, and said with a smile, "Is this Zou Sheng? My surname is Wang, Zhao Media Port From the personnel department of Island Films."

"This time, I want to ask Zou Sheng if he is interested in joining Zhao's Hong Kong Island Films for development?"

Zou Awen was stunned...

His original trajectory was that he was strongly recommended by a friend in Shanghai, joined the Shaw Brothers a few years later, made great contributions to the Shaw Brothers, and became the right-hand man of that Shao Sheng, and finally...leaved the Shaw Brothers to start his own film industry group.

However, Shao Sheng had to wait until 1957 to develop on Hong Kong Island.

Dazed for a while, Zou Awen rearranged his appearance and said with a smile, "Zhao's name is so famous, I really never thought that a young man like me would be invited to join your group...I'm actually not very familiar with film and television."

"I don't know what your company wants me to do? It's not that I'm too curious, but I just want to think about whether I can take on this important task."

It was still long before Shaw Brothers appeared.

But in the current Hong Kong Island, as a reporter or a reporter for a major newspaper, how could Zou Awen not know what kind of behemoth the Zhao family is?
For example, Hong Kong Island Daily, its subsidiary, first delivered 20 newspapers a day free of charge when it was first published, and then started charging for a month of free, which is also a penny per copy. It quickly became the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong.

This is Zou Awen's rival in the industry, how could he know nothing about it?
Asking so many questions, it’s not that he can’t figure out the importance of it, and he wants to shirk or raise the price when Mrs. Zhao comes to his door. It’s just like he said, he wants to think about whether he can afford Mrs. Zhao’s invitation.

The man in a suit surnamed Wang smiled brightly, "It's about film and television promotion. I wonder if you've heard of the book Titanic? Its film and television film of the same name is currently being filmed, and it's even in the middle and late stages."

"If there is no accident, he will finish the project around July and August. If Zou Sheng joins our Zhao Film Industry, he should be involved in the important task of promoting the Titanic movie."

"Our goal is not only to screen on Hong Kong Island, but also to include Niu Buluo, Gaul, Amei's House, Maple Leaf Country, Kangaroo Country, etc."

Zou Awen was shocked again. He had only turned on the lamp to read at night before, and he had just read a shocking literary masterpiece. The film and television version is about to come out?

Shocked, Zou Awen couldn't help but excitedly said, "It's a great honor for Zou to have this opportunity. I am willing to join Zhao Films."

In the original track, a few years later, a friend recommended him to change careers to Shao Sheng, but he still took the initiative to put forward conditions, such as allowing him to bring a group of friends to join the job, and then Ah He, Ah Cai, Ah Liang and other friends joined him. .

We worked together in Shaw Brothers for more than ten years, and followed him to create a new film and television company.

Facing the invitation of the Zhao Group now, he didn't have so many demands, not to mention anything else, he was only 23 years old now, and when he joined the Shaw Group in 57 a few years later, he was already 30 years old.

A person at 23 and 30...definitely thinks and does things differently.

Now he just wants to see how the crew of the big movie Titanic works, and whether such a masterpiece can be made well!
Even though the Titanic movie plan was earlier than the novel, there was a lot of movement in the shooting. Hollywood's top directors and those who had won Oscars all came to work as assistant directors early, but Zhao Xueyan didn't have any opening ceremony. The outside world only knew about it. Inside, it's just a little rumor.

The former Zou Awen was actually a sports reporter for a major English newspaper.

………………

Zhao's Garment Factory, inside the office building.

Zhao Xueyan hung up the phone, in a good mood. His Titanic book just came out and sold more than 1 copies in Hong Kong yesterday...

This is not the key, the key is to distribute goods to Amei's house, and the sales volume exceeds [-] copies a day!

Niu Bu Luo sold 18 copies a day.

Although there are so many literary masters and recommendations from world-renowned writers, so many book fans rush to buy it immediately, but Zhao Xueyan believes that the subsequent sales of this book will not be bad.

At this stage, Mr. Zhao's two books, if they want to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, the biggest competitor should be The Old Man and the Sea, which Hemingway will create next year.Aside from this one, other winners in recent years, the prizes are philosophical exploration and research, poetry, drama, essays, memoirs, etc...

For example, Niu Buluo, a certain wartime prime minister, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for writing some prose and memoirs.Another example is a certain Niubiluo philosopher, mathematician, logician, etc., who wrote some history of Western philosophy and founded analytic philosophy and won a literary award.

Talking about the depth of the novel, The Old Man and the Sea was created in 51, won the Amijia Pulitzer Prize in 53, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 54.

Even the well-known Old Man and the Sea has only 4 words, which is different from Zhao Xueyan's 20-word Titanic and the same 20-word Roman Holiday.

However, Mr. Zhao's two novels have various literary values ​​and meanings, which are not much weaker than The Old Man and the Sea... The Old Man and the Sea were written by normal people, and his novels are the manifestation of supernatural powers!

This is not the same thing. In terms of analogy, the top and best medical experts can save people with surgery, and Mr. Zhao is cured directly with a supernatural power.

The Old Man and the Sea made a brilliant achievement in 86, selling millions of copies within 48 hours. However, the social development environment in the 80s was not comparable to that in 1950.

Zhao Xueyan is already very satisfied with Amei's sales of 18 copies and Niu Niu's [-].

………………

Tokyo International Airport.

When a group of figures walked out of the aisle, Mike Corleone, who came to pick up the plane, was holding several copies of Titanic and showing off, "Everyone, this is a rare masterpiece signed by the original author, and I will treat it as a meeting gift for you."

It was only 1950, and Vito, the first generation of the Corleone family, hadn't handed over the position to Mike, and a group of white people who came out of the same way at this moment were the bigwigs of the same era as Vito.

One is the famous Hymen Roth in the Judas team, and he also shouted the famous saying "We are stronger than Amei's Steel Company!" at the Cuban Mafia Committee meeting in 41.

The other is Moglin, the boss of the Judah Gang Mafia Killer Group, and a good brother of Hyman Rose.

At this stage, the major mafia families and criminal groups have almost monopolized all legal or illegal gambling businesses from New York to Miami, from Las Vegas to Cuba, and also intervened in the import and export of sugar and narcotics in Cuba.

Infiltrating into Amei's officialdom, controlling the lifeline of Cuba's economy, etc.

Internal cooperation and competition, external development in unison, generally speaking, the relationship between the several big families is good, and everything can be discussed and resolved at the meeting.

Of course, when old Vito abdicates and Mike becomes the boss, his biggest enemy is how to secure the position of godfather internally, and how to deal with the recognition and struggle of other families such as Haimen Rose and others externally.

In the words, Mike also whistled, "Tom, quickly give these few good books to some seniors. We will use these as scriptures when we hang out in the island country in the future."

Tom beside Mike is an orphan adopted by his father, Vito Corleone. He is not only Mike's good brother, but also has a better relationship than Mike and his real brothers. He is also Mike's military adviser.

When Tom smiled under the words and went to give the books to the two elders of the previous generation, Judas helped the boss Damen Ross to take the book with a smile, looked at it twice, and then smiled, "Mike, I didn't expect that, the three of you Among the brothers, you will win."

Vito Corleone has three sons. The eldest son, Sonny, has a fiery personality, dares to fight and kill, and is also responsible in doing things.

The second child is cowardly, extravagant, obsessed with beauty, and cannot be supported at all.

Even if Vito hasn't passed the position yet, everyone knows that Mike will definitely be the next head of the second generation. This time he and Mo Green will come to Tokyo in person, and they plan to come over after answering the old Vito's call, and Mike Let's talk about how the mafia develop the island market.

There is one thing to say, Hyman Rose’s biggest overseas pocketbook is Cuba. Apart from Cuba, he has little interest in other countries. It is not Vito who is talking, and Mike also said that he is talking about the market of the island country. He really will not come.

Mo Gelin didn't pick up the book, and looked at Mike indifferently, "Little Mike, what good business can a small defeated country in the island country do?"

"I hope you didn't let us go for nothing this time, otherwise I will teach you a lesson for Mr. Vito."

The relationship between him and Mike was not good. In 1931, gambling in Las Vegas was legal. It was Mogreen who lobbied several big families and spent a lot of money to build the first luxury casino hotel, but lost money for a long time. Mike went to talk about the acquisition. It collapsed and made a fuss.

After the death of Vito Corleone, in the purge launched by Mike, one of the first to die was Moglin, which then triggered mutual cleansing and killing among mafia teams.

At this stage, old Vito is dying...

It's no wonder the relationship between the two is good.

Mike Corleone shrugged nonchalantly, "Opening a casino in an island country can radiate business to Asia. For example, is Hao Jiang an oriental Las Vegas?"

"As long as we can spend money and lobby Lao Mai to support us, it is not hopeless to build a legalized casino in Tokyo."

"If this thing can be done, we can reshape a brand new Las Vegas, which is more amazing than Cuba."

"The island country itself has more than 9000 million people, more than ten times that of Cuba, and there are countless young soldiers who can have spare money and can look at South Asia and Southeast Asia..."

"Everyone, we are developing a blue ocean."

"..."

After shrugging his shoulders, Mike explained and led several big shots to the convoy. His words made Hymen Rose and Moglin couldn't help but nod.

After all, they are all gambling tycoons, even the not-so-smart Mogreen, who was also the first to build a luxury casino hotel in Las Vegas, and Haimen Rose even runs everything in Cuba.

In the past, their sights were only on the Americas, Asia? ?From another angle and perspective, Asia is indeed not bad. Let’s not talk about whether there are countries in Asia that they can look up to, even if they don’t like them at all... They also understand that no matter how poor a country is, there will be no shortage of rich people.

Let’s just talk about Baixiangguo, how poor and backward it was at a glance before?How earthy?
But the Baixiang Kingdom is full of fat, oily, fat and bubbling local bosses, with countless money.

In addition, there are many various Amei people, Niubuluo people, Gauls, etc. who are stationed in the colonies in Asia. Are those people short of money?
Even in the impoverished and backward Republic of China in the past, there is also the Oriental Pearl of Shili Foreign Company.

When several bigwigs boarded an extended Rolls-Royce and the convoy set off, Haimen Rose agreed, "Asia is indeed good. It would be great if we could open a legal casino in Tokyo, but we can talk so much about it." people?"

"Since you proposed this idea, Mike, what are the most important and critical points for us to accomplish this?"

Mike coughed lightly, "The first is to persuade Lao Mai to support, Lao Mai has great power and influence in the island country, and secondly, to cooperate with the Chinese association, even if it is successful, the profit will be divided [-]-[-] with the Chinese association."

Hyman Ross was dumbfounded.

Mo Gelin couldn't help but sneered, "Are you kidding me? Chinese? Those piggy Chinese in Ami who look like pigs?"

Mike took a deep look at Mo Gelin and said, "There is a Mr. Zhao on Hong Kong Island, who is the author of this book. He has mushrooms in his hand."

"Zhao Sheng has a lot of money in his hand, so that A-Mei's six major food groups will not provide logistics supplies to A-Mei's coalition forces, and sell them to Zhao Sheng instead!"

"You offended Zhao Sheng, you don't need him to send some Chinese associations to deal with you, just throw out [-] million dollars in cash, and some of them are your little brother who kills you."

Haimen Rose was even more confused.

Mo Gelin took a few deep breaths, and a few strange colors flashed across his face, "Absurd, kill me with [-] million dollars in cash? Could it be that he printed money?"

The first ultra-luxury casino hotel he built in Las Vegas in 1931 only cost a few million dollars before and after. In the same sentence, 800 million dollars can build an aircraft carrier!
He is also the boss of the Judas Killer Group, and the best brother of Hymen Ross, the godfather of Judas.

When did it cost [-] million dollars to kill someone?
This is too much of an international joke.

Mike was also very speechless, "Zhao Sheng really printed the money himself, and the printed money can be recognized by the six major food groups, so they don't sell it to Lao Mai's military supplies, and instead ship them to Hong Kong Island."

Moglin, "..."

Is Nima crazy?This is all right? ?

Haimen Rose took a few breaths, "Isn't it too perverted? No one cares?"

Mike explained, "Someone once wanted to make trouble, that is, the old Locke you know, know, or at least heard of, said that he wanted to invite Zhao Sheng to Amei's house, and then Zhao Sheng planned to take mushrooms to New York, like a little boy fly."

"Everyone stopped talking."

Hymen Rose was messed up in the cold wind. He had heard Mike mention mushrooms before, but he really didn't expect that the other party was talking about mushrooms that flew freely like a little boy.

How can this be done? ?Or is it personal? ?
Mike poured a few glasses of champagne and handed them to Haimen Rose and Mo Green, "One more thing, Zhao Sheng has sent 10,000+ clubs from Hong Kong Island, Haojiang and Wanwan to Tokyo to beat the bad guys, as long as he wants , you can continue to invest more until it breaks one million."

"Let me just say one thing, our big families can bring tens of thousands of members from New York, Las Vegas, Miami and other places?"

Mo Gelin gasped wildly, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Defake, is this still a club's territory? But sometimes it doesn't matter how many people there are..."

"We can have guns!"

Mike smiled and took a big sip of champagne, "Very well, those Chinese associations have also opened up the sky and the earth, not to mention the M3 grease guns in their hands. Hundreds of thousands of associations are fighting, and it is not difficult for two or three people to have an M1911 .”

"As far as I know, there have been more than a dozen shooting cases in the past few days by Chinese associations beating bad boys and islanders for territory."

They're wild with each other when they mafia shoot each other, what's the point of shooting?
But Mo Gelin was still shocked, true or false?Hundreds of thousands of beatings, two or three people with one M1911?This is so insane.

Those who know know that this is a club opening a film and grabbing territory, but those who don't know think you are going to fight in the streets.Even if the peninsula war has not yet broken out, the fighting power of the Chinese has not been taken seriously, but during the Anti-Japanese War, China also wiped out hundreds of thousands of island countrymen.

Not to mention that there are 100 gunmen on average for 33 million people with one gun.

It's just a hundred thousand gunmen, this is outrageous, is this still called the community stabbing each other?

While Mo Gelin was shocked and speechless, the convoy continued to set off, driving, and was suddenly startled by the sound of rattling and banging, and braked.

After a while, John came to report, "Some Asians with M3 grease guns and M1911 are robbing banks..."

Mike waved his hand calmly, "It's okay, we will leave after they finish robbing."

Hyman Ross, "…"

Moglin, "..."
