Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Film Screenwriting

Before Jin Yong left "Ta Kung Pao", he edited scripts such as "Peerless Beauty", "Don't Leave Me", "Happy Friends", etc. "Peerless Beauty" has been made into movies by Great Wall Film Company successively. Dream starring Zhao Ji, who steals amulets to save Zhao, was screened in the Mainland. In 1957, it won the Excellent Film Honor Award from the Ministry of Culture, and Jin Yong also won a gold medal for screenwriting. From 1953 to 1958, under the pseudonym "Lin Huan", Jin Yong published at least 50 articles on film in the Great Wall Pictorial, most of which were theoretical.He has been very familiar with the film industry for a long time, and often eats, chats and attends their parties.Director Cheng Bugao traveled back to Hong Kong from the mainland, and after a long talk, they went to the art exhibition together.Because friends in the film industry invited him to dinner, he had a talk with French filmmakers and wrote an article "Happiness and Majesty". On New Year's Eve in 1953, he participated in the New Year's Gala held by the Great Wall Film Company and danced with the movie star Lettie. The photo was published in the "Great Wall Pictorial". On New Year's Eve in 1955, at the film industry gala, when everyone was dancing happily on the dance floor, Su Qin suddenly asked Jin Yong loudly:

"Did you dance the 'Hundred Flowers Wrong Dance'?" The people nearby laughed loudly, because they knew that Chen Jialuo in "Book and Sword" would make a set of "Hundred Flowers Wrong Punch", and every punch was a mistake. of. Jin Yong left "Ta Kung Pao" and joined the Great Wall Film Company, from newspaper editor to film screenwriter, the foreshadowing has already been laid. "Great Wall" was one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong at the time. It has produced many famous films and made many stars popular, such as Xia Meng, Chen Sisi, Fu Qi, Shi Hui and so on.When he first joined the "Great Wall", he mainly wrote movie scripts, hoping to make his way in the movie circle.His monthly salary in "The Great Wall" is only 280 yuan, but he can get 3,000 yuan in manuscript fees for every script he writes, regardless of whether it is adopted or not. This income is undoubtedly attractive.While continuing to write martial arts novels under the pseudonym of "Jin Yong", he wrote many scripts under the pseudonym of "Lin Huan", such as "Little Pigeon Girl", "A Girl's Huaichun", "Three Loves", "Midnight Piano" and so on. It was not made into a movie. On October 5, 1958, when the "New Evening News" celebrated its eighth anniversary, he wrote the article "Giving Gifts" as in previous years. He used to sign "Jin Yong", but this year he signed "Lin Huan".

Most of Jin Yong's scripts are purely entertainment in nature, heavy on comedic elements, pursuing the interest of life, catering to the tastes of ordinary citizens, and lacking profound content, but he also spent countless thoughts on this.What excites him is that he still has the opportunity to direct himself.Based on his adaptation of "A Girl Who Loves Spring", it was co-directed by him and the famous director Cheng Bugao in 1958, with Fu Qi and Chen Sisi playing the leading roles. In 1959, he and Hu Xiaofeng co-directed another film "Wang Tiger Snatches a Marriage", starring Xia Meng and Li Qiang.But he never directed a film on his own, which is a regret in his short film career.

The "Great Wall Pictorial" from 1954 to 1958 also had many lyrics written by him for movies. The episode "A Tree of Peach Blossoms by the Door" written by him for the movie "Don't Leave Me" is full of folk song flavor: There is a peach blossom tree by the door, and the peach blossom is planted on the top of the branch. The young man in front of the village and behind the village came to my house if he had nothing to do.The gentleman from the east family is handsome, the elder brother from the west family is strong, and the man from the back mountain, hey!He is not afraid of anything.Seeing that this one is good and that one is not bad, this really made my mother anxious.She asked us in detail, so that people would be ashamed to say it.I think about it day and night and worry about it, and I think about it day and night.

Jin Yong Ying wrote a "guessing song" for the film "Luan Feng He Ming", which was sung by the character played by Shi Hui when he took a bath. Director Yuan Yang'an requested that there should be no "fragrant" color in the slightest, so as not to make people think about it.He was thinking hard, and suddenly remembered a riddle that his aunt gave him when he was a child-"What gets dirtier the more it is washed"?The answer is "water".This riddle triggered his inspiration. With increasingly dirty water, wet towels and soap, a "guessing song" hummed in the bath was born.

These days in the film industry are a small episode in Jin Yong's long life. Many people don't even know that he has worked as a film screenwriter and director. On November 16, 1979, he visited Taiwan. In the "Little White House", the mansion of director Bai Jingrui, directors, screenwriters, actors, and film critics from the film industry gathered together to talk about films with him.Bai Jingrui said that he had known Jin Yong for ten years, and he didn't know that he had been a director, and everyone also said they didn't know.He replied: "You don't know, it proves that I have completely failed in making movies." That night, the curious Brigitte Lin asked him several questions.On other occasions, he also said that he was completely unsuccessful in film work.

In 1981, he took his wife and children back to visit the mainland, and Shanghai TV temporarily arranged to broadcast "Wang Huan Snatches a Marriage", which he co-directed, and even changed "director Lin Huan" to "director Cha Liangyong".But he said frankly: "The main director of this film is Mr. Hu Xiaofeng. I didn't know much about directing skills at the time." He told the young Wen Ruian that he had directed several films, and Wen knew one of them. It was "Wang Huo Robbing Marriage", and he immediately said: "The filming is not good."

"No one has ever seen how beautiful Xi Shi is. I think she deserves her reputation like Xia Meng." In Jin Yong's eyes, Xia Meng is the most beautiful woman. "In order to get close to Xia Meng, Jin Yong went to the Great Wall Company to work as a screenwriter. Jin Yong's spiritual fascination with her became a good story in Hong Kong's "gifted scholars and beautiful ladies" back then." The "Great Wall" left a legend about Jin Yong and Xia Meng, which became an episode in his life shrouded in mist.Xia Meng is a popular star, a well-known "beauty" in the Hong Kong film circle, a guarantee of box office, and ranked first in the top ten star elections held by "Great Wall Pictorial", known as the "Great Wall Princess".

Long before Jin Yong entered the "Great Wall", Xia Meng married Lin Baocheng on September 3, 1954, and Jin Yong also concluded his second marriage with Zhu Mei in 1956.They met before Jin Yong entered the "Great Wall". In 1956, "Peerless Beauty" written by him starred Xia Meng and was made into a movie directed by Li Pingqian.On October 5 of that year, when the "New Evening News" celebrated its sixth anniversary, he mentioned that there was a letter from a reader who claimed to be a "Huo Qingtong fan", suggesting that "Book and Sword" should be made into a movie, and the princesses of "The Great Wall" would play the female characters. role, please ask Xia Meng to play the role of Luo Bing who loves beauty.

There is a saying that when Jin Yong worked with Xia Meng, because Xia Meng jokingly called him "Aunt Yao", he took up a little-known pen name "Yao Jiayi" for this, and wrote the film review "Yao Jiayi Column" Also very popular. Xia Meng’s real name is Yang Yang, her ancestral home is Suzhou, she was born in Shanghai in 1932 in a family of intellectuals, both of her parents are fond of Peking Opera, and influenced by her family since she was a child, she can speak both Peking Opera and Yue Opera fluently. In 1947, she went south to Hong Kong with her family and studied at Maryknoll Girls' College. In 1949, when she performed the English stage play "Joan of Arc" at the Literary Gala, she played the leading role in Joan of Arc and achieved great success.People praised her: "The person is beautiful, and the play is wonderful." She likes to sing Peking Opera and is an outstanding Huadan. In 1950, when she was 18 years old, she visited the Great Wall Film Company with her classmate Mao Mei (the daughter of director Yuan Yangan), and was appreciated. From there, she entered the "Great Wall" and quickly shined on the screen.Her appearance is suitable for the past and the present, and she is recognized as an actress who can act, is educated and beautiful.Not only is her demeanor on and off the screen fascinating, but she also has a good command of Chinese and foreign languages, has learned both ancient and modern times, and has read a lot of books.She has loved sports since she was a child. She participated in the inter-class basketball competition of the whole school in middle school. When she arrived at the "Great Wall", in order to keep her nails, she gave up basketball and hired a coach to learn tennis.

A reporter asked Luo Fu, is it true that Jin Yong has a crush on Xia Meng?Luo Fu answered with certainty: "It's true." The reporter asked him again if he had ever chased Xia Meng?Rover replied, "They say they chased after Xia Meng". Shen Xicheng, who met Jin Yong in 1975, asked many old friends of Jin Yong about this, and Ni Kuang and Xu Guo were two of them.Shen also asked director Li Hanxiang—he and Jin Yong were half colleagues in "The Great Wall". Li half-jokingly said: "Oh! Your mother, why did you dig Jin Yong's scar?" Shen asked: "Director Li, You can only play tricks on me, but you don’t touch your own ass. In your masterpiece "Thirty Years from the Beginning", is there any old friend of your director who didn’t dig your scars?" Li Hanxiang was so happy, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Jin Yong chased you What’s so special about female celebrities? Didn’t I also chase after them? Can’t you pick up girls if you’re poor?” “Then Jin Yong’s dating?” “Of course I’m dating. A short addiction is better than no addiction!” Ask Xu Guo again, Xu Guo is more "old fox", answer: "It seems to be." A big glass of old wine is toasted, and Xu speaks the truth after drinking: "It seems to have chased Chen Sisi, eh! It seems to be Xia Meng." Ask Ni Kuang again, Ni Kuang is more honest: "I seem to have chased after Xia Meng..." Jin Yong has never mentioned this past event.But in his novels, it is not difficult to see the shadow of Xia Meng. Huang Rong in "Shooting the Condors", Little Dragon Girl in "Sculpture of the Gods", and Wang Yuyan in "Sculpture of the Condor", no matter how they frown and smile, they are all similar to Xia Meng. His colleague at "Great Wall" Xu Guo, who later worked in "Ming Pao" for many years and is famous for writing "Ha Gong Column", said: "Mr. Cha is a person who specializes in feelings. When I worked with him at the Great Wall Film Company, Mr. Cha fell in love with a beautiful female star, and that female star was a first-class beauty, but our Mr. Cha was just a small screenwriter and novelist at that time, so of course he was not favored by that female star." Sanmao, a Taiwanese female writer who has contacts with Jin Yong, said: "The special feature of Jin Yong's novels is that they describe a 'love' that is still elusive to human beings and can make people go to heaven and hell. Words. If you don’t understand the relationship between Jin Yong and Xia Meng, you won’t understand the description of “love” in his novel.” He has always been secretive about his emotional life, and he has never heard anything from himself about this matter, but his old friends and colleagues are vague and have not denied it. It must be groundless, and only he knows the inside story. After he left the "Great Wall" and started his own "Ming Pao", he paid extraordinary attention to Xia Meng. On June 8, 1959, shortly after the "Ming Pao" was founded, it published "Xia Meng Practicing Dance" (signed " Huang Rong") and Xia Meng's signed photos, saying that she practices double swords against double whips every day, combining "beauty" and "courage", and learns martial arts and dance at the same time. On March 9, 1961, the "Star Column" on the front page of "Ming Pao" reported that "The cast and crew of "The Tiger King" held a banquet to thank the teacher, and Xia Meng led the Detachment of Women to perform an amazing drink", saying that since "The Tiger King" was released, The grand event is not fading. It entered the second week yesterday, and the venue was still full. The main actors Xia Meng and Li Qiang attended the teacher appreciation banquet last night. The director and Hu Xiaofeng attended together.Xia Meng played the male lead Zhou Wenbin in the film. Off-screen, Xia Meng has a unique charm. She greeted the guests in Mandarin, Shanghai and Cantonese. fifteen people.When the group photo was taken that night, both Jin Yong and Xia Meng stood in the first row. In the autumn of 1962, Xia Meng had a long trip to Europe. Ming Pao not only tracked and reported her travels, but also set up a column for Xia Meng in a prominent position, publishing her letters from the trip. On October 1st, "Xia Meng Talks about the Current Situation in Paris" was published. It was her letter on September 24th and 25th, talking about climbing the Eiffel Tower, drinking in roadside coffee shops, and swimming on the Rhine. Published on October 13, "Entering the Temple of Murder by Mistake in London——Xia Menggui Hong II", it was her letter on October 3. The modern figures she saw in the wax museum were all the same as those seen in newsreels Same, very similar. "There is only one Chinese, Zhou Enlai, and it doesn't look like one." On October 14, she published "Looking at the Striptease to Understand the Market - Summer Sleepwalking No. 3", and she wrote in a letter on October 6 that she was most interested in Shakespeare There is a theater nearby, which specializes in Shakespeare's stage plays. On October 25th, "Xia Meng Will Return to Hong Kong After Traveling Tiredly" was her letter from Germany on October 20th. This is the first time that "Ming Pao" has opened a travel column for a female star, and it seems that it has never seen it in the future.From time to time, Xia Meng's news appeared in the "Ling Xing Column" on the front page of "Ming Pao", detailing everything, such as "Xia Meng Wears Hundred Pound Clothes", "Xia Meng Buys a Horse, Throws Stones into the Forest, Beauty Secrets, Facial Facial Powder" ... In September 1967, "Left Wing Chief Red Star" Xia Meng ended her 17-year film career after making 42 films, bid farewell to Hong Kong, and immigrated to Canada with her husband.At the time of the "May Storm", tens of thousands of Hong Kong people emigrated abroad. "Peerless Beauty" has been criticized in the mainland, and Xia Meng refused to participate in the demonstration initiated by the leftists on the grounds of her pregnancy. On September 27, "Ming Pao" published "Our Special Article" on the headline of the front page, exclusively reporting "Xia Meng's Past in Canada". On September 28, the headline of the second page reported that Tao Zhu admired this beauty in costume.Not only that, on this day, Ming Pao also published an unusually poetic editorial "Xia Meng's Spring Dream": It is an unusual choice for her to leave Hong Kong and the Great Wall Film Company on which she is famous. A cool feeling. ... The fact is that, because Hong Kong is a place with great freedom, anyone can not only have the freedom of residence, but also the freedom of movement, and the freedom not to participate in political activities; or "in the case of conflicts between residence and political activities" Underneath, there is freedom to choose to stay or stay. ... Xia Meng was drifting away under such circumstances. It can also be said that this is the greatest convenience given to her by the freedom of Hong Kong. For the film circle that made her famous over the years, and a history of struggling in the film industry, Xia Meng will definitely have infinite attachment, but she finally left.Among them, there are naturally many reasons. In our imagination, it must be that the air in the Canadian prairie is fresher and can make her live a more peaceful life. That is why she resolutely abandoned everything at the peak of her career and returned to Beijing. Yougu, independent of the world, is just like "you have to go when you go, and you never live there. In other years, the mountains are full of flowers, so don't ask where the slaves return."We wish her best wishes here. The editorial of "Ming Pao" has always commented on major social events and international situations, and this is the only exception for seeing off a female star. Xia Meng went abroad, and "Ming Pao" still followed her every move. On January 31, 1968, the headlines reported that Xia Meng passed the pregnancy in the United States and was about to give birth in the United States. The family settled in Washington.One year later, on February 17, 1969, "Ming Pao" reported on the front page of "Lonely guest, wanting to be a nest swallow, Xia Meng will return to Hong Kong to make a film", saying that she returned to Hong Kong this time because she still had a strong interest in breaking away from the left wing. I am confident that I can live safely in Hong Kong.On the next day (February 18), a short exclusive news "Xia Meng's vanguard Lin Baocheng has arrived in Hong Kong" was published on the side of the newspaper.It was not until 1978 that Xia Meng established the Jade Bird Film Company and cast the first film, directed by Xu Anhua.Ni Kuang said: "His greatest contribution to the film in his life is probably that he named a movie originally called "Boat People" as "Ranging Sea". Now "Raging Sea" has become a special term for a certain action. , the impact is far-reaching." Since New Year's Day in 1957, it has been serialized in "Hong Kong Commercial Daily". Occasionally, it will stop when Jin Yong is ill. For example, on April 18, 1959, the editor confessed, "Mr. Jin Yong was ill, and 'Shooting the Condor' was suspended for two days." resumed on the 20th. In December 1975, he said in the revised "Postscript" of "Shooting the Condors": Recalling the love and encouragement of brother Li Shawei, editor of the supplement of "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" to this novel more than ten years ago, but he is no longer alive today, so I can't let me personally give the first volume of this revised edition He, thinking of his kind smile and slightly stuttering conversation, felt very bitter. The characters in "Shooting the Condors" have simple personalities, Guo Jingcheng is simple and honest, Huang Rong is witty and cunning, readers are easily impressed.This is a characteristic of traditional Chinese novels and dramas, but it inevitably lacks the complexity of the inner world of the characters.Probably due to the simplicity of the characters and lively plot, "Shooting the Condor" is relatively popular. It has made Cantonese movies, and staged a series of Chaozhou dramas in Thailand. Currently, it is making TV series in Hong Kong. It has been translated into Siam, Vietnamese, Malay (Indonesian), and other novels impersonating others, such as "Seven Heroes of the South of the Yangtze River" and "Nine-fingered God Beggar" are also quite a lot. Although his narration is plain, it is conceivable that it is very popular, not only in Hong Kong, but also in Southeast Asia.As soon as the daily newspaper comes out, many people will first turn to the supplement to read his serialization.Most of the topics discussed by citizens in the streets are related to the characters and plots in the novel.People read it all the way, and after reading it once, they are not satisfied, and then they read it a second and third time, they read the series, they read the booklets every "return", and they still want to read the booklet published in the final collection.Every Chinese newspaper in Bangkok reprinted his works, and posted the serialized works of the previous day and the current day at the entrance of the newspaper.At that time, the newspapers relied on the daily flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok to send newspapers to Hong Kong for reprinting. However, when the novel came to a critical juncture, some newspaper offices no longer waited for the arrival of the flight, but used the equipment of the underground radio station to publish it by telegram. The content of Hong Kong's works of the day to satisfy readers' impatient cravings. "Using telegrams to send martial arts novels is probably an unprecedented move in the history of the newspaper industry", which shows the popularity of his works. In Guo Jing, we can vaguely see the shadow of Jin Yong himself. He said: "When I wrote Guo Jing, I didn't know much about literature, and it more reflected the ideal personality in my mind. If there is a shadow of myself, it may mean My personality is relatively slow to respond, but I have perseverance, perseverance, and never back down in the face of difficulties. I am a person who prefers to work hard and not seek quick success." The martial arts in his works are of course based on his imagination, but careful people have discovered the source of these martial arts. In terms of form, they are mainly taken from dance, and in terms of gods, they come from philosophical thoughts, especially Taoism.Huang Rong's martial arts is basically dancing. The name "Lanhua Fuxue Hand" has a dancing posture, and the body method of "Luoying Excalibur Palm" is like falling flowers.On Peach Blossom Island, Huang Rong danced under the flower tree—— But when she turned her head, the golden ring was shining in the sun, and the white clothes on her arms were lingering in the wind. Later, she danced more and more anxiously, and stretched out her hands from time to time to shake the flowers and trees around her. Turning around her body like a butterfly, it's so beautiful. The imagination of her martial arts also comes from dancing.Hong Qigong taught Huang Rong the "Xiaoyaoyou" palm technique (originally named "Swallow Shuangfei"). The two practiced together, "standing side by side, one from the left, the other from the right, back and forth, really like a jade swallow, a big Like an eagle flying lightly." Jin Yong said that he came up with most of the moves in the novel by himself. He looked at what kind of action the character needed at that time, and found a suitable word for the name of the move in idioms, poems, and the Four Books and Five Classics.Sometimes I can't find a suitable one, so I make up four words to match it.The name of the move must be visualized, because the general moves of Chinese martial arts are always visualized. According to the name, the movement can be roughly imagined. Ni Kuang said: "In 1957, if people who read novels didn't read them, it would be a joke." Jin Yong created a myth, which he did not expect: I use novels as a tool to make money and make a living. I don’t have any lofty social goals. I don’t think of educating young people, nor do I have the ambition to rejuvenate the country and serve the country... But I write happily, and I have a lot of imagination and mobilization. The joy of being a hero at the bottom of the pen. He is telling the truth. When he wrote his first martial arts novel, he was still the editor of the supplement of "New Evening News". At that time, he just wanted to complete a task assigned to him by the chief editor Rover. down.He has never been a professional novelist, and writing novels has always been a sideline for him.His works "also have some portrayals and satires of ugly phenomena and ugly characters in society, but those are just whimsical, and they are played at will." "The real purpose should be to affirm the traditional Chinese virtues, lofty character, and lofty thoughts, so that readers will feel admiration and feel that life is alive. Although most readers may not be able to do it, the author himself cannot do it. But if it can arouse the idea of ​​'heart yearning', then it will achieve the goal." This is his inner monologue.There is another layer of meaning, which he did not reveal, and he may not have intended it during the creation process, but it is revealed everywhere, that is, his homeland and local complex are permeated in almost all of his works.opening - The vast waters of the Qiantang River bypass the Niujia Village in Lin'an endlessly day and night, and flow eastward into the sea.There are dozens of black cypress trees in a row by the river, the leaves are as red as fire, and it is August.The weeds in front of the village and behind the village just started to turn yellow, and under the setting sun, they became even more bleak. The black cypress tree is a tree species in the south of the Yangtze River. In the "Xizhou Song" of the Southern Dynasties, there is a poem "the shrike flies at sunset, and the wind blows the black cypress tree". This is the scenery of Jin Yong's hometown and his eternal dream. I can't help but return to the land I was familiar with when I was a child, and the sky I looked up to repeatedly when I was a teenager.A scholar who was born in a family of scholars for generations, grew up in the chaos of war, and suffered from hardships. Because of the changes of the times, he wandered in a foreign land and settled down in a small Hong Kong. However, all the cultural factors in him came from that ancient land.From to to, what he conveys is the culture on which he lives and lives. Martial arts novels are only a carrier, a carrier of citizen culture. He puts his inner pain and the scars of the times in this highly citizen-oriented carrier. All this, he himself may be completely unintentional. (Guo Jing) immediately said proudly: "...I just want to ask you one question: how much land does a person occupy when buried in the ground after death?" " Guo Jing said: "Yes, then you killed so many people, shed so much blood, and occupied so much land, what is the use in the end?" Genghis Khan remained silent. Guo Jing and Genghis Khan, a generation of heroes, galloped on the grassland, leaving behind this conversation.Jin Yong lost his loving mother during the war, the great turmoil finally came to an end, and his father suffered another accident. The pain of the troubled times made him have his own views on merit and crime, right and wrong. From the experience of the bone marrow, he hates all wars that deprive human life and happiness, he despises heroes bought with bones, he denies violence and killing through Guo Jing's mouth, and writes all his desire for peace. What is more precious than peace? He mentioned again and again that after the war, there were broken walls and broken tiles everywhere, and the joys and sorrows of so many families gathered and separated, and separated and reunited.This is all his own personal experience, and it is his deep-rooted memory. He once said, "If it hadn't been for the hard life of the eight-year war of resistance, I am afraid that I would still be in a daze until now, living a life of drunkenness and dreams."At the end, Guo Jing and Huang Rong returned to the south together, "I saw skeletons and bones scattered among the long grass along the way, and I couldn't help feeling deeply."This is exactly his own emotion, his pain and the pain of the times are all in it. On May 19, 1959, the "Hong Kong Commercial Daily" finished publishing 862 paragraphs, which was the day before "Ming Pao" was launched.Jin Yong has a confession after "End of the Book": Dear readers: It has been nearly three and a half years since I wrote and wrote in this newspaper. Thanks to the continuous letters and discussions from readers, I have been greatly encouraged, and I am naturally very grateful. ... My friendship with colleagues and readers of "Business Daily" is not shallow. I should continue to write new works, but because I have been busy with other affairs recently, I really don't have time, so I have to talk to readers temporarily. Farewell, as soon as I have time in the future, I will meet you again in this newspaper. With the advent of "Ming Pao", it is of course impossible for Jin Yong to write serials for "Hong Kong Commercial Daily". On February 9, 1959, Jin Yong's fourth martial arts novel began to be serialized in "New Evening News". The story itself is nothing more than a cliché, grievances in the rivers and lakes, martial arts, treasure maps, etc., but in this not-so-long work, he introduced some new writing techniques, such as completely adopting flashbacks, changing straight to dark Write.For example, combining storytelling with drama, and using "one day" to represent more than a hundred years, the novel explains that this day is March 15th in the forty-five year of Qianlong (1780), which has been since Li Zicheng's defeat at Jiugong Mountain. One hundred and thirty years. The real protagonist is not actually Hu Fei, but Hu Yidao, the contest between Miao Renfeng and Hu Yidao—— The two had a life-and-death duel and cherished each other. They fought fiercely during the day and talked at night. The competition lasted for three days, and there were different changes every day.In addition to the two protagonists, various activities of the surrounding people are interspersed to highlight the protagonist's character during the contest, describe the surrounding characters, and exaggerate the atmosphere of the scene. The protagonist's superb martial arts are outlined or thickly painted.Readers are nervous and "enjoyed"... The stories of Hu Yidao and Miao Renfeng come from the mouths of many people. Some people say that they are learning the same thing from Japanese movies, but they say it in different ways.But he said that he was inspired by the way of telling stories in "The Arabian Nights". Different people have different narrations about the same thing, and some elements of drama were added. The French writer Alexandre Dumas is one of Jin Yong’s favorite novels. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his novels are influenced by other western literary works, not only in terms of novel techniques and methods such as portraying and describing characters, but more importantly, in spirit, Atmospheric effects.According to the traditional Chinese concept, the hatred of killing a father is not shared, and it is only right and proper for fathers to revenge their sons, tooth for tooth, and blood for blood.This simple revenge model has long been internalized into the national subconscious and is generally accepted by all living beings. It is also one of the themes that have been expounded in Chinese literature for a long time.The concepts of good and evil expressed and the treatment of revenge directly affect the arrangement of the characters' fate and the shaping of their characters. Also influenced by Japanese mystery novels.Honike, a Japanese journalist who understands Chinese, has read this book. Once he met Jin Yong, the topic always revolved around the plot, especially the reasoning in it.Jin Yong does not deny that this is martial arts plus reasoning. He said that he admires the Japanese mystery novelist Seicho Matsumoto very much. By June 18, 1959, it had been serialized for 129 days, and Ming Pao had been published for nearly a month.At the end of the novel, there is no definite ending, leaving an eternal suspense-whether Hu Fei will slash or not, let readers make up their own minds. At that time, although Jin Yong left Ta Kung Pao, he still had a lot of contacts with his old colleagues. At the banquet at Zhou Yurui's house, he talked about this ending with Yang Zhu and Liang Yusheng. They all found it rather novel, although they did not agree. On October 5, 1960, the 10th anniversary of the "New Evening News", he wrote the article "Is it finished?" He said that when he wrote the ending, he thought of the famous stories in the Western Middle Ages, such as princesses, court ladies and warriors, and hungry lions. Think of the novel "Medieval Legends" by American writer Mark Twain. The Great Wall Film Company was founded by Zhang Shankun at the end of 1948, specializing in Mandarin films. In 1950, Zhang withdrew, and Lu Jiankang, Yuan Yangan, Fei Yimin and others reorganized the "Great Wall". Yuan became the general manager. Wait to exit successively. The "Great Wall" and "Ta Kung Pao" are both leftist cultural institutions, emphasizing ideological significance, emphasizing social education, and restricting the subject matter of films more strictly. Although Jin Yong, who does not like to be restrained by nature, has made achievements in "Great Wall", the social response is far away. It cannot be compared with his amateur creations.He had been working for a while, but he was disappointed and found it difficult to develop his talents.He hoped to make more entertaining and commercial films to increase sales, but it was difficult to achieve in "The Great Wall", and his "bourgeois thinking" was once criticized.Several scripts he wrote failed, which made him lose confidence in staying in the film industry. In 1959, Jin Yong's film career came to an end.When he entered the "Great Wall", he thought that the film industry would be more free, and it was different from newspapers, but he didn't expect it to be the same—— From the beginning to the end, I feel that the film industry is very restrained, especially in leftist companies such as "Great Wall". Their filming policies do not agree with my personal opinions. Therefore, it is not easy to express one's own artistic intention.Later, several of the scripts I wrote were rejected, and my interest naturally dropped. In addition, in 1959, the leftist company's policy on film production became more and more strict, and sometimes they could not make one or two films in a whole year.To sum it up, when I was working on a film, things didn't go well, and I didn't have the ability to start a film company. On the contrary, running a small newspaper didn't require a lot of money, but it gave me more opportunities to play, so I switched to running a newspaper. He also said on another occasion that he has not worked in Great Wall Film Company for a long time, "they have very strict restrictions on drama, and writing a script requires such review and research, and the work is very restricted.
