Chapter 63: Grandpa Chen's Ambition

Yue Qingyan carefully considered his thoughts. His story must include effective parts, but it cannot be mentioned at the end. Otherwise, completing a story in a verbal way will be included in Faust's evaluation system for him. He has just unfolded the story of "Ikebukuro West Guest House" and has not yet asked Faust what the next additional condition is. If a story is completed rashly, it will trigger a random additional condition, and then the terrible punishment will be activated.

Although the "Young and Dangerous" series is a very suitable series, in the current situation of Hong Kong itself, it is a rash development of a pure underworld story, which is seeking death by oneself. On the other hand, Yue Qingyan has to meet the Hong Kong police force, and maybe there are similar requirements. If Chen Xinghong's requirements and the Hong Kong police force can be integrated into one, it will be easy and simple. Moreover, in that case, it is equivalent to the entire film and television plan with the Hong Kong police force as an endorsement, then the filming of this series of movies will be safe.

Chen Xinghong mentioned that the interference of the start of the specific execution link and the bigwigs in the circle to these aspects is definitely not aimless.

What Yue Qingyan thought of was not a story, but a series of stories, building a structure that interprets the development context of Hong Kong.

The first part of the architecture is called "Love in the City".

Although the name is the same as Zhang Ailing's novel "Love in the City", the meaning has changed significantly. Zhang Ailing's novel has a very clear emotional basis, and it does show the pressure on individuals in a huge change. If you look at a single romance novel, it is of course very outstanding, but from a historical novel where you see the big one, it seems that it is not enough to explore.

Yue Qingyan's idea was to expand the story of Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan. He compiled the pre-story story of the two, how they came to Hong Kong, and lived in the turbulent Hong Kong, and met and met. Using the relationship between the two people as a context, the various changes in the turbulent Hong Kong were linked.

"Love in the City" will capture several fragments and write a story about Hong Kong that started in 1937 and ended in 1945. The entire reflection of Hong Kong's various dynamics throughout World War II will expand a simple romance story into a historical group story that sees the big picture from the small.

If you want to say this way of writing, it is actually similar to the story writing style of "The Fall of a Giant". It can be said that it tests the author's ability very much. Because Yue Qingyan has two series of stories, "Yinying" and "Ikebukuro Westguchi Park", the macro and micro sculpting ability have been greatly improved, so he has the confidence to challenge this way of writing.

If you write well, it will naturally become a famous epic. If you write poorly, and you will be confused with various plot clues, you will not be able to continue reading.

The second part of the structure is called "The Great Time", which is about Hong Kong from the 1960s to the 1990s. Through the grudge between Ding Cai and Fang Zhanbo, many characters are involved to outline the changes in the entire Hong Kong decades. Yue Qingyan wanted to connect one or several of Luo Huiying, Ding Cai, Fang Zhanbo, or Ruan Mei with the story of "Love in the City". At the same time, an auxiliary line was added, which was to connect a Taoist character who was familiar with them. This character has great supernatural powers and appears from time to time. Later, because of some things, it gradually disappeared into the story of "The Great Time", and only his legend can be heard faintly. This character, called "Laohao", will bring out another series of stories of the same period "The Legend of the Five Billion Inspector Lei Luo".

After the second part of the framework was completed, Hong Kong in the 1990s entered a period of transformation. Many people were hesitating whether to stay. The entire Hong Kong rich class and elites in the political and economic fields were especially tempted, challenged and questioned. The right and wrong black and white also seemed to be vague at this stage. This is an era when the old rules were to be broken and the new rules had not been established, which is especially suitable for the birth of heroes from all walks of life.

The story of this movie begins with a humble little character under Kuohao: Han Chen.

After Han Chen couldn't make it in the Kowloon City, he followed the Ni family, and then took advantage of the situation when the Ni family gradually withdrew from Hong Kong, becoming a prince, and eventually bit the Ni family and became the important brother of Hong Kong. Such a role, because it started too fast, he was not adapted to it, and the police were not adapted to it, and the conflict between the two sides intensified and there was no possibility of mediation at all. Therefore, both sides took photos of the other party's internal response. As time goes by, the boundaries between good people and bad people became more and more blurred...

From the perspective of pure police and gangster films, it is naturally better to see the confrontation story of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming. But from the perspective of a historical group story, it is different. The story of the Ni family, the rise of Han Chen, and the many changes caused by it seem to be more touching. In the end, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming's confrontation only ended the entire era of being difficult to distinguish between good and evil, representing the arrival of the new generation of Hong Kong, which is clearly distinguished between good and evil and hates evil.

Yue Qingyan will naturally do enough to make this part of the story connected with "The Great Age". The third story is named "Infernal Affairs".

After the story of "Infernal Affairs", the police executives who were finally involved in the matter were promoted again... This can be linked to the story of "Cold War".

Although he thought it was looser, as he told him, Yue Qingyan's feelings about the entire story structure became more and more vivid: it is really possible. This is to use stories to write a modern and contemporary history of Hong Kong, and the texture of "The Fall of a Giant". Of course, it is super difficult to write. Just the information to be checked and the various situations to be understood, the original case files alone have to be studied for a long time, and the specific writing needs to be repeatedly checked. Especially the way of speaking in various eras, the rhythm of life, life form, transportation and social form, economic model, etc., almost every basic research is a major project.

(PS: Interested readers can try this character system under the group. If it is established, some connection parts need to be added, but they can be connected together. It will become a very grand epic story.)

However, Yue Qingyan was very excited to write something so difficult. There were not many things that an author could challenge, but as long as this system could be built, it would feel like it would be a pity for life. The most beautiful thing is that he is not a Hong Konger after all, but an outsider. But if an outsider like him built such a historical and realistic Hong Kong, the face of the local faction would definitely be very swollen.

Well... it's hard to say. After all, the local factions are all stupid young people who are not well-educated. If you have a little brain, you won't get into that circle.

Although Yue Qingyan did not finish any story, it took a lot of time to tell each story. He also carefully explained how the story system and the story system are related, or how to design it later, what should be written at each stage, and which works can be transformed in what directions. It seemed that the entire story system was already in his mind, and it was only a matter of writing it out.

The waiter in the restaurant added tea to Yue Qingyan three times, and then supported him to talk until after 11 o'clock in the evening. He was still a little impressed and many stories were not told in place at all.

However, he couldn't continue to talk and his throat couldn't hold it back.

Zhu Yu quickly took out the throat candy from his bag and handed it to Yue Qingyan. "Young Master Yue, you rest today... This thing is really grand. Mr. Chen, look..."

Chen Xinghong has been listening to every word Yue Qingyan said seriously. Behind him, the assistant recorded the entire conversation. The assistant's face was blue because the minutes to be sorted out today are too valuable and the amount is also very large.

Chen Xinghong turned around and said to his assistant: "When you go back and sort it out, Mr. Yue's ideas are hard to buy."

At the beginning, Chen Xinghong only thought that Yue Qingyan was a good author who had some understanding of Hong Kong culture. He had a novel resume, good writing skills and good foundation, and had experience in film adaptation. He also had considerable influence in Hong Kong and other regions. If he was willing to write a few stories for him, as long as the story was passed, he would not lose money after operating it.

However, when Chen Xinghong first heard the story of the love of the city, he didn't catch a cold. After all, he never needed to fall in love... But both lines in the "Big Times" made him explode. "The Legend of the Five Million Inspector Lei Luo" is not very strange, and he still needs to see how Yue Qingyan is written at that time. However, through the decades of entanglement between two fighting characters, how to develop the real economy and how to turn to financial and real estate, and how to deal with various crises... This is the perfect modern history of Hong Kong, and it is also the most proud history of Hong Kong people.

In this story, Yue Qingyan writes about geniuses and ordinary people, and the rich and the poor. He needs to sort out the social class. This presentation seems to be telling the inexplicable young people in Hong Kong: You idiots and the light of Hong Kong is all achieved by your elders working hard. Don’t scream if you don’t work hard.

From the 1990s to the time before his return, this period of difficult-to-darkness was outlined through the four characters of Han Chen, Huang Zhicheng, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming. There is also the Ni family, who is a symbol of the transformation period, with Chen Xinghong's understanding of Hong Kong, he had such a prototype in his mind. Even in this period of history, he himself was considering which role his role had been included...

Although this is a story that Yue Qingyan has not started writing, or it is a system composed of many stories. Chen Xinghong was so satisfied with this lot of things that he couldn't be more satisfied, and was so confident that he would want to spend enough money now and get it done immediately.

Chen Xinghong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Master Yue, I've been taught. Today I have inspired me so much. The whole story framework is almost a few million words, right? Even if I do it one by one, it will probably take several years. The plate is too big. If possible, of course I want to eat the whole thing."

Yue Qingyan thought for a while and said, "Actually, the novel won't take long. It's a year. In fact, if you really want to talk about novels, it's probably enough to have one million words. It's mainly to tell the story clearly. But movies and TV series can't be finished so quickly."

"Okay, Mr. Yue, then, how can we cooperate?" Chen Xinghong was a little nervous.

"Master Chen, why do you ask me about this? Since I have already said it, I naturally hope to cooperate with you." Yue Qingyan threw the question back.

"Okay, one year, ten million." Chen Xinghong said: "This is the guaranteed number. You only need one sentence: As long as the conditions are ripe and the conditions I give are no worse than others, then cooperate with me."
