On the 7th day after the release of "Science Fiction World", the train departed from Shanghai and headed north to Yanjing.
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng lived in a high-end soft sleeper, facing each other, with novels and magazines on the table.
“I didn’t expect that Teacher Fang would write so many masterpieces in just one year!”
Xu Ke flipped through "Malicious" casually.
Shi Nansheng said with emotion: "Even if "Once Upon a Time" cannot be made, I think "Midnight Ring" and "Malicious" can be made!"
"This is the first time I have seen that suspense novels and science fiction novels can be written like this."
Xu Ke shook his head and laughed: "None of the screenwriters in Xiangjiang have Teacher Fang's strong creativity and novel ideas. ”
Shi Nansheng believes that the biggest problem in the Hong Kong film industry is following the trend.
Whenever a movie becomes popular, a series of plagiarisms will appear.
For example, Cheng Long's "Snake Hand" became a hit on the screen, and there were "cat hands" and "eagle hands", but the "Kato Eagle Hands" appeared.
It is indeed not easy to create a trend, but it is not difficult to mess up a genre of film and make it stink. It is like raising a bonsai, and someone immediately stuffs everything that can be transplanted into the flowerpot until everything in it is Green plants consume all their fertility and then "die together".
This is the case with genre films in Hong Kong.
In the past, it was Shaw Brothers romance films and costume Huangmei operas. Later, it was hard-hitting martial arts films and kung fu films. Then there were fashion action films, urban comedies, and supernatural zombie films. From one dead end to another dead end.
Today's Hong Kong film market is mainly dominated by comedies such as the "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars" series.
When I think of this, I can't help but worry, "After the comedy film is finished, what should I film in the future?"
"That's why we went north to find Teacher Fang."
Xu Ke felt that the Hong Kong film market was full of comedies, so he eagerly wanted to film "Once Upon a Time" with a grand narrative background.
"It's best to ask when the third part of "Once Upon a Time" will be written."
Shi Nansheng reminded.
Xu Ke nodded repeatedly. The second part of "The Great Master Huang Feihong" ends with Huang Feihong, the "League of Heroes" formed by Huo Yuanjia, Da Dao Wang Wu and others, escorting Liang Qichao and other reformers abroad. Then go to the robbery site and save Tan Sitong. The next part should be the Boxer Movement.
Such a trilogy based on the historical and political background can definitely elevate Huang Feihong from a market hero to the height of a national hero.
“I really hope I can meet Teacher Fang sooner.”
“There are also Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen who were appointed by Teacher Fang.”
Shi Nansheng looked through the car window , looking at the dark night sky, thinking about it, and I don’t know where my thoughts are drifting.
…………
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the roses and roses in the flowerbed were in full bloom and colorful.
After Gong Chou watered the flowers, he turned around and saw Fang Yan lying leisurely on the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, holding a pile of manuscript paper in his hand.
"Are these the manuscripts you wrote for "The World of Reasoning"?"
"No, this is the third novel of "Once Upon a Time"."
" When did you write it? Why didn’t you publish it?”
"Isn't it that when I go to eastern Guangdong with my brother-in-law, I can chat with the editor of "Flower City" in person about revising the manuscript."
Seeing her stretch out her hand to read, Fang Yan handed it over. past.
Gong Zhen sat sideways on his man's lap as usual and took a closer look. The title was in four big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes -
"The Lion King's Struggle".
Compared with the movies of previous generations, the film has been changed from "The Assassination of Li Hongzhang in the Lion King Contest" to "A Three-Party Competition in Boxer Boxing".
The book picks up from the end of the second part of the previous chapter. Yuan Shikai betrayed the reformers and took refuge with Cixi, so he was re-employed and took office in Eastern Shandong.
And Ludong is the birthplace of Boxing. It is growing day by day with the connivance of the former governor.
However, after Yuan Shikai took office, he reached a consensus with Li Hongzhang and others and determined that this Boxing movement was a "leftist cult". It demolished railway tracks and pulled out poles everywhere, destroying social stability, so he changed his predecessor Yu Xian's policy was to drive away the Boxers and suppress them violently. Boxer Boxing could not gain a foothold in Eastern Shandong, and like a red light, they all fled to Northern Hebei and the Beijing-Tianjin area.
At this time, the Western powers were surrounding them, trying to encroach on more Chinese territory. They were also strongly dissatisfied with Cixi's house arrest and deposing Guangxu, which was detrimental to the interests of the powers. , several southeastern provinces in the country also began to protect each other under the instructions of Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong.
Under internal and external difficulties, the Boxing of Boxing of "Supporting the Qing Dynasty and destroying the foreign countries" came into Cixi's vision.
Being regarded as a force to "protect the emperor and protect the Qing Dynasty", they were accommodated and allowed the Boxer Rebellion to grow and develop in the Beijing and Tianjin areas.
Immediately, there were protests from the outside world by the great powers.
Internally, it was also opposed by Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai and others. They neither wanted the Boxers to be used by the Qing court nor wanted to anger the great powers.
However, Cixi issued an edict to protect the Boxers against all opinions. In fact, she was using the Boxers to "retaliate" against the great powers.
Under such a complicated situation, Li Hongzhang wrote a letter to hold a "Chinese Lion King Competition" after the North and South Lion Dance Conference.
On the surface, it is "using lions to drive sheep (foreign) and promote the country's prestige", but behind the scenes, in order to compete for the title of "Lion King", the Yihe Quan fights among themselves and intrigues, making the Yihe Boxing people who share the same hatred The fist is torn apart and internal friction continues, and the Western powers also have their own plans.
Prepare to use this "Lion King Conference" to plot to assassinate Pu Jun, the new puppet Cixi plans to support, to prevent Guangxu from being replaced.
In such a dangerous background, Huang Feihong was invited by Da Dao Wang Wu and returned to the capital with Thirteenth Aunt, Liang Kuan and other disciples.
“What do you think?”
Fang Yan held her waist and put his face close to hers.
Gong Qiao was surprised, "Why does this Lion King Conference feel like the Tower of Babel to me?"
"Smart! It's the Tower of Babel!"
" When the time comes to film this movie, a high-rise building will be built on this venue. "Tall tower."
What the dialect says is that human beings united to build a high tower hoping to lead to heaven. In order to prevent human beings from planning, God made human beings speak different languages and cannot communicate with each other normally. , the Tower of Babel can no longer be built.
"Thank you for thinking of this."
Gong Zhe's eyes showed the loving admiration.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "The more interesting things are still to come."
Gong Chou continued to look down at the signal from his eyes. When he saw Huang Feihong was thirteen The tsundere scene where the aunt was jealous and jealous made her smile sweetly.
As for the Thirteenth Aunt, she was also jealous because Huang Feihong was highly admired by the female disciples of the red light, especially the Holy Mother of Huanglian "Lin Heier".
In a serious and heavy historical background, it skillfully combines delicate and funny emotional lines and hearty martial arts scenes.
"What makes me most proud is actually this ending."
Fang Yan showed a mysterious smile and took away the last few pages from her hand.
On the bright side, Huang Feihong foiled the foreign assassination, won the gold medal at the Lion King Conference, and also foiled the Boxer Rebellion's conspiracy to fight within.
But behind the scenes, because the assassination plot of the foreigners was exposed, Cixi became so angry that she angrily shouted at the court meeting: "Why don't you speak? Are you all mute?"
"Officials of the Qing Dynasty, are you just watching and letting foreigners bully me?"
"What's the use of your death, I want foreigners to die!"
So, in With the support of the Queen Mother's party, Cixi, who relied on the power of Yihe Quan, "acted for the imperial power" and acted domineeringly. Voice:
"By God, the emperor issued an edict: The foreigners have bullied me so much that the country is about to perish. Instead of trying to survive, it will bring shame to eternity. It is better to attack in a big way and show off the male and female. I solemnly swear an oath today. , go to war!”
“Go to war against the United States!”
“War on France!”
“War on England!”
“War on Germany!”
“…” (End of this chapter)
