Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1270 Those who dare not offend
After leaving the commercial station and getting into the car, Tsui Hark turned to look at Shi Nansheng who was sitting in the passenger seat.

In Yu Cheng's office just now, Shi Nansheng hardly spoke, it was Tsui Hark who was negotiating with the other party.

Judging from Shi Nansheng's reaction just now, she seemed to have discovered something, which made Tsui Hark very curious.

"I believe you should know what kind of person Yu Cheng is. Since she said she couldn't help, it proves that this matter is beyond her control, and it won't help if she continues."

Tsui Hark nodded as he listened. Judging from his understanding of Yu Teng, the other party was a very capable and straightforward person.

But once she said that she couldn't do it, she really couldn't do anything.

It's just that Tsui Hark really likes the story "An Embroidered Shoe". If he were to give up like this, Tsui Hark would be very unwilling.

"But just now Yu Cheng said that many people have come to her in the past few days, and there are many big directors and screenwriters among them. She even blocked those people. I think this is very strange."

"What's so strange? I believe that the author didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he told Yu Cheng not to reveal his identity."

Tsui Hark didn't think too deeply, he naturally thought that the author asked Yu Teng to do this.

But Shi Nansheng has a different idea from Tsui Hark, she thinks things are not that simple.

"Don't you think it's strange, if it's just an ordinary author, if Yu Teng is to resist such great pressure of favor and reject them, the author's face is really too great?"

Not only Xiangjiang, but the entire Chinese area is a society of sophistication. It is easy for Yu Teng to reject them, but this may also affect her relationship with those people.

Therefore, Shi Nansheng believes that the author's identity may not be simple to make Yu Teng so firm.

"what are you thinking?"

After Tsui Hark listened to Shi Nansheng's words, he still couldn't think too deeply.

Shi Nansheng paused, and then expressed his guess.

"It's not so much that Yu Teng does not hesitate to offend those people, it is better to say that Yu Teng dare not offend the author because of those people."

Shi Nansheng's idea was very bold, but after Tsui Hark heard it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she said seemed very reasonable.

"Although there are many people in Xiangjiang who can make Yu Cheng afraid, most of them are not engaged in literature and art. If we narrow the scope a little bit, and make Yu Cheng afraid, they are people engaged in literature and art..."

Although Shi Nansheng's guess is close to the truth, but unfortunately, Tsui Hark is still unable to draw an accurate conclusion.

After all, there are actually some differences between writing novels and film and television dramas.

If Shi Nansheng was talking about working in the film and television drama industry, then Tsui Hark should be able to find a few candidates soon.

"It's impossible for Mr. Jin Yong. He writes martial arts novels. He has never dabbled in such supernatural novels before, and if he wants to serialize them, he must serialize them in "Ming Pao". .”

Tsui Hark guessed at the beginning that it was Jin Yong, but this guess was quickly overturned by him.

Shi Nansheng never thought that this matter had something to do with Jin Yong. After all, the other party has always written martial arts novels, which are not of the same type at all.

Moreover, it is impossible for Jin Yong to suddenly switch genres and write supernatural novels, which is absolutely impossible.

"Since it's not Mr. Jin Yong, the remaining few people seem unlikely, Ni Kuang? It shouldn't be him either."

The more Tsui Hark thought about it, the bigger his head became. He felt that these people seemed unlikely, but they couldn't be ruled out.

While Tsui Hark was still trying to figure out who it was, Shi Nansheng suddenly gave him an answer that shocked him.

"The people you mentioned may be possible, but I guess you haven't thought about the person I'm thinking of."

Tsui Hark looked at Shi Nansheng puzzled. He felt that he had screened all the well-known novelists in Xiangjiang. Could it be that there were other candidates?
"If I say that this person is Mr. Lin, what do you think of my conjecture?"

When Shi Nansheng finished speaking, Tsui Hark was stunned for a moment, as if he had been petrified, he remained motionless.

After a while, Tsui Hark came back to his senses, but then he suddenly shook his head again and again.

"Impossible. How could Mr. Lin suddenly go to write novels? He asked Huang Ying to ghostwrite "Legend of Sword and Fairy" before."

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" Lin Daoqiu only came up with an outline, leaving all the rest to Huang Ying. This matter is actually not a secret.

"What if this time he is the same as "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and draws up the outline by himself and then finds someone to write it?"

Shi Nansheng's answer made Tsui Hark suddenly enlightened.

It can make Yu Cheng afraid, and he doesn't hesitate to offend those people and dare not reveal the author's identity. If this person is Lin Daoqiu, then everything makes sense.

"Of course, these are just my guesses. Maybe things are not as complicated as we guessed. The other party is just an unknown author who doesn't want to be disturbed by others, so I ask Yu Cheng not to reveal his identity."

In the final analysis, what Shi Nansheng said just now was just her guess, and she did not dare to be [-]% sure that "An Embroidered Shoe" was written by Lin Daoqiu.

But for Tsui Hark, this is no longer the point. Now that Shi Nansheng has said it all, he suddenly had a bold idea.

"Why don't we go to Mr. Lin and ask?"

Shi Nansheng did not expect Tsui Hark to be so courageous that he dared to go to Lin Daoqiu for an answer.

"I don't think this is good. If "An Embroidered Shoe" is really written by Mr. Lin, we will come to the door to test it out. Wouldn't he misunderstand that Yu Cheng has leaked his identity?"

Originally, Tsui Hark had summoned up his courage and planned to try it out, but what Shi Nansheng said made him have to give up this idea.

Seeing Tsui Hark's depressed expression, Shi Nansheng also felt distressed, and she really wanted to do something for him.

"Why don't you, I'll talk to Yu Cheng."

Tsui Hark nodded quickly. He trusted Shi Nansheng very much. Since the other party said this, it meant that she was certain that she could do it.

Half an hour later, Shi Nansheng went back and forth, and came to Yu Cheng's office again.

Yu Cheng knew without guessing that the other party must have come here for "An Embroidered Shoe" again.

"Nansheng, I really can't help you with that matter, so don't force me."

"If I'm wrong, the author's identity shouldn't be simple, right?"

When Shi Nansheng said this, Yu Cheng was so startled that his eyes widened unconsciously.

"Why do you think so?"

Yu Teng felt that something was wrong, because she could see from Shi Nansheng's eyes that she seemed to have guessed something.
