However, Kobayashi Tenwang is still so young. If he writes a novel based on his current achievements at this time, what will he do in the future?
The Chinese people value "final judgment". Not to mention that Jin Yong has retired from writing now, even if he hadn't, he would not easily create works based on living characters.
This is also why the martial arts novels he wrote are all historical novels. At most, he wrote some annoying people in real life as villains in novels to vent his anger.
"Never mind, never mind. I was just rambling on a whim. The words of retiring are no joke.
Besides, after writing for half my life, I’ve pretty much exhausted all the stories I should tell and the human heart I should write about. These old bones of mine no longer have the sharpness and energy I once had to build a brand new, grand world.”
Louis Cha said this with a smile, then picked up the suit jacket draped over the back of the chair and brushed off the non-existent dust.
"Let's leave the story of this turbulent Hong Kong Island and this turbulent era to the more energetic young people. We old folks can just watch."
After saying this, Louis Cha smiled at Wang Yang again and walked towards the door.
His back revealed a hint of the desolation of an old scholar, but also a sense of relief as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
Wang Yang watched his boss disappear through the doorway, and he sighed softly, his eyes filled with regret as he said, "Alas... I finally managed to get Cha Sheng to want to create... What a shame. If he could actually write it, it would be such a wonderful novel..."
After Wang Yang left, the lights in the office finally went out, leaving only the lights of Victoria Harbour outside the window, reflecting the lingering regret on Wang Yang's face.
…
On the other side, in the narrow and crowded corridor of the tenement building in Sham Shui Po.
However, in the past two days, because of Jin Yong's manifesto, he has become the focus of attention of the entire Hong Kong.
The tiny island of Hong Kong has so many newspapers, which really makes things difficult for the paparazzi.
In order to fill up the space in the newspaper, we dig out breaking news and write eye-catching content every day. Now that we have finally caught a hot topic, of course we have to continue tracking it and find out the truth about the issues that concern all Hong Kong people!
Therefore, this narrow stairwell was crowded with reporters holding cameras and microphones, as well as neighbors and enthusiastic citizens who came to watch the excitement and express their sympathy.
There is no way. Although Lin Huowang emphasized the need to protect the Lu family's privacy, Lu Ruirong's family has been high-profile enough in that area since she participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant.
Even the neighbors five blocks away know that Arong from the Lu family is the third runner-up of this year's Miss Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Island is such a small place, it is impossible to hide anything that happens to someone's family or if someone becomes a celebrity.
Therefore, when Ming Pao reported that the Lu family had to borrow money from loan sharks in order to pay Lu Ruirong's penalty for breach of contract, it immediately caused a sensation, and paparazzi and enthusiastic citizens all surrounded the Lu family's small door.
"Mr. Lui, Mrs. Lui! Tell us more about what happened back then! Is Ms. Fang from TVB really that vicious?"
"Your daughter is so miserable. She refused to sign that 'indenture' and was forced into this..."
"Hey! TVB is such a heartless person! They're even trying to force someone as righteous as Miss Lu to death!"
"Don't be afraid, uncles and aunties! All Hong Kong citizens support you!"
The door of the Lu family was open. Lu's father was sitting on an old wooden bench with a hunched back, his face covered with his hands, and his shoulders slightly shaking.
Long before these people blocked the door, Lu Ruirong had already hidden in the small apartment in Central that Lin Huowang had given her, and she seriously told her parents and younger brother how to face the reporters who were about to come to her door.
She has to put her family in a weak position. So this places great demands on her parents' acting skills.
Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were still very into the role, after all, this was a re-enactment of a real scene.
When Lu's mother thought of the despair she had felt two days ago, her eyes immediately turned red and her voice choked with sobs.
She patiently repeated the "tragedy" of that day over and over again to the microphone in front of her and to the eyes of the crowd.
"...That Miss Fang... is so sharp! She said, either sign or pay 1.5 million! 1.5 million! Where can we, the common people living in a tenement building, find that? It wouldn't be worth it even if we sold our whole family!"
My husband and I are at our wit's end, with no other options... we have no choice but to go... we have no choice but to go..."
She seemed unable to continue speaking and just slapped her thighs hard, tears streaming down her face.
Meanwhile, Father Lu, who was standing by, promptly lowered his hand covering his face, revealing a look of sorrow and despair. He continued in a hoarse voice, "We can only...we can only ask for help, borrow...borrow from loan sharks...thinking we can save Ah Rong first...but how can we pay her back..."
His voice was full of fear and helplessness, and with the perfect pauses, he left reporters and onlookers with endless room for imagination, describing the desperate situation of the Lu family being forced to borrow from loan sharks.
“That’s too much!”
"There's no law at all!"
"TVB is a vampire! No matter how many buildings Sir Run Run Shaw donates, it can't cover it up!"
"Support Miss Lu! Sue them!"
The onlookers were filled with indignation, and the noise of discussions and curses was deafening.
The reporters' eyes lit up, the cameras in their hands were clicking non-stop, and their recorders were pointed at the Lu couple, for fear of missing any sensational details.
These reporters naturally knew that such plots and images were most likely to arouse public sympathy and were also the most eye-catching headlines.
