Chapter 82 Hong Kong Trip ([-])
After lunch, because there was an important appointment in the afternoon, in order to maintain a good mental outlook, Zhang Lexing came to the hourly room booked by * at the Four Seasons Hotel and took a nap.An hour and a half later, Zhang Le went to the appointment after resting.Accompanying Zhang Lexing were * and Chen Yi, while Li Sheng and Rhodes drove a commercial vehicle to follow the protection.

Today Zhang Lexing is going to visit Mr. Cha who lives at No. [-] Shanding Road, that is, the famous master of martial arts novels Jin Yong.On the way to the drive, Zhang Lexing took out the information about Mr. Cha again and looked at it. The memory about Jin Yong gradually emerged in his mind.

"Mr. Cha's ancestors were from Wuyuan County, JX Province. He was born in Yuanhua Town, Haining County, Zhejiang Province. The Cha family belongs to a famous family in the local area. It has the reputation of 'a giant family since the Tang and Song Dynasties, and there are few families in the south of the Yangtze River'. He went to Hong Kong in 1948. Worked in the Hong Kong branch of "Ta Kung Pao". In 1952, he began to create films and dramas, and met his friend Chen Wentong (Liang Yusheng). From 1954, he and Chen Wentong began to write martial arts novels, and thus created a new era of martial arts."

The first time Zhang Lexing read Jin Yong's novel was not in the book, but through the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which many people have read. Know the relationship between Jin Yong and this drama.After going to college, Zhang Lexing saw Jin Yong’s novels for the first time from his classmates. It was "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" published by Jilin People’s Publishing House in 84. Before each book, there is an introduction of the main characters in the book, which is quite special in the novels at that time.Starting from this book, Zhang Lexing has gradually read many other novels written by Jin Yong. He has read all fourteen novels and one short story "The Sword of the Yue Girl" more than once, and even read some so-called new works by impostors. .

This time Zhang Lexing came to visit Mr. Cha, on the one hand, to meet his former idol, and on the other hand, he also hoped that after the establishment of his game development company, he could open up the situation as soon as possible by launching the Jin Yong martial arts game.

It is not far from Four Seasons Hotel to No. 10 Peak Road, and it takes about [-] minutes to drive there.In fact, it is not so easy to meet Mr. Cha. Fortunately, Kunpeng Animation has dealt with Mr. Cha a few years ago to produce the comic version of Jin Yong's novels, and established a certain friendship. Coupled with Mr. Yang's personal connections, Zhang Lexing was finally able to make an appointment. Success, that's why Shi Shiran came to visit like this.

Knocking on the door to explain his purpose, led by the servant, Zhang Lexing came to the gazebo in Mr. Cha's mansion alone.At this moment, Mr. Cha was sitting alone on the wicker chair. There was a teapot and some teacups on the tea table beside him. On the table in front of him was a Go board with many black and white pieces already placed on it. The gentleman is holding a sunspot and pondering.

Seeing his former idol, Zhang Lexing was excited, but seeing that Mr. Cha was thinking, he didn't dare to go up to say hello, but waited for a while, and waited until the pieces in Mr. Cha's hands were settled, then he cupped his hands and said, "Cha Sir, junior Zhang Lexing has taken the liberty to come to pay a visit, please forgive me if I disturb you!"

Mr. Cha looked up at Zhang Lexing, pointed to the rattan chair opposite, and said, "It's okay, please sit down."

Walked over and sat on the rattan chair. Before Zhang Lexing could open his mouth, Mr. Cha poured a cup of tea first, and then pointed out with his hand: "Please taste the freshly brewed tea."

Zhang Lexing picked up the teacup on the coffee table, sniffed it under his nose, and a fresh and tender fragrance came to his nostrils, with the unique aroma of orchid beans, but mixed with the sweetness of honey.Pick up the teacup and bring it to your mouth to sip lightly, the clear and bright tea pours into your mouth immediately, the surface of your tongue has a slippery feeling, after a short aftertaste, the elegant and sweet taste is clear and moist.

"Good tea, I'm afraid this is the best West Lake Longjing tea." The homework done in advance played a role at this time, and a cup of tea did not bother Zhang Lexing.

Mr. Cha's eyes lit up: "Yes, I didn't expect you to know so much about tea after living overseas."

Zhang Lexing put down his teacup and said modestly, "It's just a coincidence."

"Can you play Go?" Mr. Cha asked.

"A little bit." Zhang Lexing said, and then looked at the chessboard on the table.What Mr. Cha played just now was an endgame. This is a trick that many people like to play when they are alone, and it is helpful to improve their chess skills.Zhang Lexing still had some research on Go before, and he was a frequent visitor to Qingfeng and Lianzhong. After his rebirth, he has been busy with his career, only occasionally playing chess records by himself, which has left Go in a lot of waste.Fortunately, Mr. Cha's endgame, Zhang Lexing, happened to have studied it recently, and it came from the "Slanted Flying Cross Star" game in "Yi Miao" in the Qing Dynasty, so he didn't worry about making a fool of himself in person.

"Please." Mr. Cha stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Lexing to get Baizi.

Picking up a white piece, Zhang Lexing looked at the chessboard and thought deeply.The black stone that Mr. Cha landed before is the No.15 move. According to the conventional way of moving, the white stone should be broken next to the two black stones in the upper left area of ​​the chessboard.But Zhang Lexing knew that if he went on like this, Heizi would gain a great advantage within twenty steps.Fortunately, after carefully studying this game not long ago, Zhang Lexing figured out a new solution. He gently put down the white piece in his hand, and flew a big piece on the right.

Zhang Lexing's behavior was beyond Mr. Cha's expectation. His expression suddenly became serious, and he fell into deep thought...

A game of chess was played for nearly an hour, relying on different moves, at the end of the game, Zhang Lexing took a small advantage, which was considered to be slightly better than Mr. Cha.

"I didn't expect you to play Go very well at such a young age, and your brain is also very flexible." Mr. Cha was very satisfied with Zhang Lexing's performance in tea tasting and Go, and he couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Lexing waved his hands, and said modestly: "Where is it, I have also gone through this game before, and I just have some experience."

"Mr. Zhang is here today, what's the reason?"

"Mr. Cha, the juniors have read many of your novels one by one, and feel that they are like flowing clouds and flowing water, and you can see strange things in ordinary times. Some classical poems quoted in the article are full of charm, and the language is popular, simple, fluent, and flexible and vivid. The juniors can’t stop every time they mark the papers. It’s a great honor to meet Mr. Cha himself this time.”

Perhaps it was Zhang Lexing's words that made Mr. Cha feel like a bosom friend, which suddenly aroused his interest in talking.In the following time, the topics of the two always revolved around Mr. Cha's novels, such as: how to subtly transfer from the identity of the third party who has nothing to do with oneself to the realm of the second party, how to enhance the momentum of the characters through the method of introduction, If the narrative using outside knowledge makes readers feel empathetic, of course it also talks about the exquisite bridge design and vivid characters in the novel.Thanks to Zhang Lexing's homework done in advance, he was able to handle it with ease.

After talking for a while, today's first goal was almost achieved, Zhang Lexing began to work hard for his second goal, and the topic began to slowly shift from martial arts novels to martial arts games.

"Mr. Cha, martial arts novels can be regarded as fairy tales for adults. Your novels are very popular in our Chinese world. But now with the development of technology, there are many more forms of experiencing martial arts dreams. For example, although martial arts movies and TV dramas are lost. The artistic conception in some novels can make more people feel the charm of the martial arts world."

Mr. Cha said with deep empathy: "That's true. TVB has only filmed a few films, but it's a pity that I haven't been very satisfied."

"Mr. Cha, in addition to movies and TV, people can now experience martial arts dreams through games on the computer. Unlike movies and TV, which are accepted one-way, games allow players to have more choices. Through various interactive forms Experience a unique world of martial arts..."

Just talking about this, Mr. Cha said as if he understood something: "Games, I have heard of this recently. It was said by a Taiwanese, it seems to be called Wang Junbo. When he talked about games, he probably The meaning is similar to what you said, I guess if you can meet, you should be able to have a good talk."

"Mr. Cha, what did he come here to talk about?" A shadow suddenly appeared in Zhang Lexing's heart.

"Oh, he wanted to promote martial arts culture by adapting my novel. I thought he was sincere, so I agreed." Mr. Cha replied.

Zhang Lexing couldn't help but sighed in his heart: "Oh, I didn't expect that I was prepared by Zhiguan for so long."

"Mr. Cha, I don't know if there is still a chance to sign a contract with you. I am also very interested in adapting games from martial arts novels."

Mr. Cha said with a little regret: "I'm really sorry, Wang Junbo and I signed an exclusive agreement, and I don't think we have this fate for the time being."

Zhang Lexing was a little disappointed, but he wasn't too worried, because he knew that although Wang Junbo took the lead this time, Zhiguan's adaptation strategy was too utilitarian, and he liked cutting in half the most. The games adapted from Jin Yong's novels would often be anticlimactic by them. Yes, Mr. Cha will lose confidence in a few years. I believe that Zhang Lexing will still have a chance by then.

But it was a rare visit to Mr. Cha, Zhang Lexing didn't want to just come here for nothing, while chatting gossip and thinking about how not to waste this opportunity, suddenly a good idea popped into his mind.

"Mr. Cha, have you heard of the 'Information Superhighway'?"

"The information superhighway? What is it?" Although Mr. Cha is a master of martial arts, he doesn't know much about this new term.

So it was time for Zhang Lexing's performance. He sorted out his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "The so-called information superhighway is a concept proposed by the United States in the State of the Union address at the beginning of this year. They plan to spend 20 years and spend 2000-4000 billion US dollars to build a high-speed basic network for transmitting information, which can be used to transmit information including text, images, videos, audios, etc., including your novels can also be transmitted on it. It is matched with the information superhighway It is the Internet, which provides resources for everyone through the information superhighway. From the Internet, you can find all kinds of information, just like a newspaper that is kept there all the time, you can check it at any time, and this newspaper You can also update the content at any time..."

"Then you mean that you want to put my novel on the Internet so that everyone can read it?" Mr. Cha seemed to understand what Zhang Lexing meant.

Zhang Lexing nodded and said: "Yes, I want to make a Chinese literature promotion website and put it on the Internet, but it needs a lot of content. Your novel is a good choice, so I hope to get your novel. Digital copyright and the right to publish your future revisions on the Internet, I wonder if you would like it?"

Maybe he wanted to comfort Zhang Lexing's frustration that he couldn't get the right to adapt the game. Mr. Cha readily agreed, and didn't even ask for profit sharing, but this may have something to do with him not knowing the Internet.Not only Mr. Cha, but even the whole world understands the true value and potential of the Internet at this time, and there are only a handful of people.

Zhang Lexing’s intention to build a Chinese literature website this time is not premeditated. In fact, the original plan will take at least seven or eight years to build a Chinese literature website. At that time, the domestic network environment will be easier to realize.However, this time he successfully won the digital copyright of Jin Yong's novels, which gave Zhang Lexing some new ideas. The current network environment is not good, but in this period when few people know about the Internet, it is impossible to win the works of those literary masters. The difficulty is probably the least.Anyway, the website didn't say that it will be completed soon, so we can sign a contract first and start building the website slowly, there is still a lot of time.

Leaving Mr. Cha's house, after having dinner, Zhang Lexing, under the leadership of *, enjoyed the so-called beautiful night view of Victoria Harbor. Although it is not as exciting as the night view of some big cities in the future, it still has many local characteristics of Hong Kong. .After admiring the night view, Zhang Lexing returned to the Peninsula Hotel to take a good rest, because tomorrow will usher in another busy day.
