The atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly harmonious tonight.
Ni Jiang and Big Head are both the "double red sticks" in Hong Kong and Taiwan's literary world, and their status is second only to Jin Yong, the leader of "Ming Pao".
They speak well, with endless interesting stories, and some allusions and editorials are readily available.
But what surprised the two of them was Shi Zhijian. He was young but had a bottomless reserve of knowledge. Whether it was literature, history, philosophy, or international economics, he could talk about everything with reason and evidence, so that the three of them talked about life freely, directly from Xiangjiang.
Talking about Treasure Island.
At this time, Ni Jiang and Big Head had already admired Shi Zhijian, thinking that at his age, they didn't understand so much.
Shi Zhijian's target at this time had already shifted from Ni Ji to Big Head.
As a scumbag who loves talent so much, Shi Zhijian has always been thinking about helping Zheng Shaoqiu make a TV series or something. He can't always let him jump around in commercials all day long, and the big-headed "Chu Liuxiang" is just right for Zheng Shaoqiu.
.
So Shi Zhijian tentatively asked the big head, "Mr. Xiong, I know that Mr. Ni asked you to write "The Two Prides" for "Ming Pao". But now that you have finished writing that book, do you have any plans to write a new book in the near future?"
The big head was startled for a moment, "I've thought about this. I recently conceived a book, and I also thought about the name of the main character. I just called it 'Chu Lianxiang'."
"Uh, Chu Lianxiang? Isn't it Chu Liuxiang?"
"Well?"
Big Head's eyes suddenly lit up. He named the protagonist of his new book "Chu Lianxiang", which means "pity beautiful women everywhere", but Shi Zhijian's "Chu Liuxiang" directly crushed his name into rubbish.
"Chu Liuxiang, Liuxiang everywhere! Mr. Shi is indeed a talented person!" Big Head gave Shi Zhijian a thumbs up excitedly.
Ni Jiang stood aside and picked his teeth with a toothpick and said, "Chu Liuxiang? This name is indeed much better than your Chu Lianxiang name, Lao Xiong."
The big head became even more excited, watching Shi Zhijian's eyes continue to shine, "Mr. Shi, do you have any other good suggestions? I have been thinking about this novel for a long time, but I have never been able to write it. Please help me!"
It turns out that Big Head began to conceive of this "New Iron-Blooded Legend" after serializing "Two Proud Heroes" and planned to write the story of Tie Zhongtang's apprentice. However, after pondering over it, he always felt that the subject matter was not novel enough and the characters were not vivid enough.
So much so that now my brain is stuck and I am in difficult labor.
Unexpectedly, when I was invited to drink here tonight, I met an expert like Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian didn't expect that his casual words would cause such a big stir. He wanted to shut up but it was already too late.
Looking at Big Head's expectant eyes and Ni Jiang's curious eyes towards him, Shi Zhijian could only sneer and say: "I'm sorry, maybe I'm too talkative. In fact, I just make instant noodles and sell soda. I don't know much about it."
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you, Lao Ni, to be my ghostwriter!”
Ni Jiang nodded, feeling that what Shi Zhijian said made sense. If it were him, he would never hide it. What a great talent, what a resounding name. Maybe he would hang a gong around his neck and beat it, for fear that
Others don't know.
Big Head was different. He saw that Shi Zhijian was "hidden". Not to mention the time-travel story he told before, it was the name "Chu Liuxiang" that impressed him greatly.
"Mr. Shi, oh no, A Jian!" Big Head took the initiative to close the relationship with Shi Zhijian, "You really have to help me, at least help me conceive of this main character."
When Shi Zhijian saw Big Head being so sincere, he couldn't help but said: "There's no need to think about it. Chu Liuxiang has a fragrance everywhere. Chu Xiangshuai is the stealing god at midnight. Orchid smiles. He is elegant, calm and courageous. He is suave, resourceful, observant and kind.
He is passionate, especially his Qinggong, which is unmatched by anyone in the world."
Shi Zhijian told everything he knew, and his big head and eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"Is there any more?" Big Head said impatiently.
"Is there any more?" Ni Jiang was full of curiosity.
This character is great.
"Well, give him a flaw. His nose is not breathable and he breathes through his skin. This way, he can have an excuse for his super high qinggong. Also give him two comrades. There are flying geese on the left and colorful butterflies on the right. They are proud of the world.
Across the world."
Under the "force" of Big Head, Shi Zhijian had to completely "outline" Chu Liuxiang in the previous life.
Big Head had already fallen into a state of madness, and his mouth was almost drooling as he stared at Shi Zhijian.
Ni Jiang was even more stunned and stared at Shi Zhijian, as if he was getting to know him all over again.
A moment.
Big Brain just woke up from the fantasy of characters, looked at Shi Zhijian with excitement and said: "Thank you so much, A Jian! To be honest, with your advice, I suddenly became enlightened!"
Shi Zhijian didn't expect Big Head to be so excited. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed. He picked up the water glass and took a sip and said, "Actually, these are all your ideas, Old Xiong. I just said it for you!"
"You are too humble!" Big Head felt that Shi Zhijian was not only talented, but also had such character.
Even Ni Jiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shi Zhijian: "I support you, boy! You are very talented! Fortunately you are making soda instant noodles, otherwise you would be in the literary world, and I would be the second best in the literary world.
I’m afraid it’s not guaranteed!”
Shi Zhijian once again gave in and hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea.
Hu Juncai and others nearby were also shocked by Shi Zhijian's "talent".
Especially when Hu Juncai had nothing to do, he also found some martial arts novels to amuse himself. He squatted in the hut for a day, so he still had a certain appreciation for martial arts novels. What Shi Zhijian said about "Chu Liuxiang" just now was so vivid that he looked like a real person.
, it’s simply not too fun.
After Big Head thanked Shi Zhijian, he said with some embarrassment: "Ah Jian, let me shamelessly say, can I use the character settings you just mentioned, including the name Chu Liuxiang?
I want to put it in a book."
I'm afraid that Shi Zhijian won't agree. After all, everyone knows what these things mean to a martial arts novelist.
So Big Head quickly said: "Of course, I won't let you suffer! If you have any conditions, just tell them!"
Shi Zhijian originally wanted to wave his hand generously and let the big head take those things and use them as he pleased. After all, they belonged to others.
But then he thought about it and said, "Actually, I only have two small requests."
"Tell me what you say!" Big Head was happy, but now he was afraid that Shi Zhijian would not make any conditions.
"First, I know a friend who is an actor. If your book becomes popular in the future and you make a TV series or movie, can you first consider letting him play Chu Liuxiang?"
"Okay!" Big Head answered happily.
"The other thing is," Shi Zhijian scratched the bridge of his nose and his tone became a little embarrassed, "You also know that I make soda instant noodles. Can you recommend a chapter when you write this book?"
"I don't have high demands, just one sentence: Chu Xiangshuai recommends, Master Shi's soda instant noodles are awesome!"
