Chapter 217 Meeting with Jin Yong

Hong Kong is not the only place where there is chaos.

There is another place that is already in chaos, and that is the Middle East.

Soros analyzed the situation and believed that the Israeli authorities would dispatch troops probably in early June.

At the latest, it cannot be later than June 5.

The Israeli army has begun to gather. They must complete the lightning attack on Egypt, Jordan and other Arab countries before they can react.

If they attack too late, their actions will be noticed by other countries.

Once Israel's actions are hindered, the United States, which has always supported Israel, will get involved - but it will stand on their hostile side.

Jews have shrewd minds, which is why they are hated.

But precisely because they have shrewd minds, they know when they should do what, not the other way around.

Once a war breaks out, it will end very quickly. Otherwise, Israel will fall into a quagmire. Once such a country is dragged into a long-term war, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Therefore, from Soros's point of view, this speculation is a short-term behavior.

But he is Soros after all.

Quantum Fund needs to build a reputation, so it must do something big.

…

On the other hand, Catherine had no intention of celebrating her birthday.

What happened in Hong Kong was more serious than I imagined. It happened that the Umbrella Company once again hired a group of soldiers who had retired from the Vietnam battlefield.

But it has to be said that the company has indeed received enough orders.

As the bomb incident occurred, Hong Kong people became panicked.

Many people have decided to immigrate, and some wealthy people who are unwilling to leave have hired umbrella companies to protect themselves.

Catherine's actions were soon discovered by Bruce. Although he was still recovering from his injuries, Bruce still refused to let Catherine get involved in these matters.

——Obviously, Bruce wants the idle Catherine to go back early.

But how is this possible?

Catherine was not idle, she still had a lot to do in Hong Kong. At this time, Jin Yong had not yet left Hong Kong, and Catherine happened to go to discuss the adaptation with Jin Yong in person.

In Catherine's revised version, Yang Guo did not lose his arm, but this version did not seem to be liked by readers. Catherine asked Carter to make a report in Hong Kong, but her own version was not popular, so Jin Yong's original version can only be adopted.

version.

"Ming Pao".

To be honest, whether it was in her previous life or this life, Catherine's only impression of this newspaper was that it published "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Although "Ming Pao" was not very good in Catherine's mind, Catherine still respected Jin Yong due to her life experience in her previous life.

At this time, Jin Yong was writing "The Swordsman", the so-called "The flying snow shoots the white deer, the laughing book hero leans on the green mandarin duck". Now, only the most yy book "The Deer and the Cauldron" has not yet been written.

The funds required to adapt the animation are relatively small, so Catherine can have as much fun as she wants.

On her birthday, Catherine did not stay in the hospital, but chose to meet with Jin Yong. Jin Yong was about to leave Hong Kong for refuge, and Catherine could not let him escape.

"Hello, Mr. Jin Yong."

Although the other person's real name is Cha Liangyong, Catherine decided that the name Jin Yong sounded better.

"Oh, hello, hello, Miss Edson."

Jin Yong never expected that someone would adapt his novel into a cartoon, and this person was an American woman.

And when he heard that the other party was not yet 20 years old, Jin Yong was really shocked.

Especially when Jin Yong heard that Catherine was also the director of "Wasteland" and owned a company group with a market value of hundreds of millions, he was even more surprised by Catherine.

On the other side, Catherine was also looking at Jin Yong.

She looked at the other party with great interest. Jin Yong was still very young now, and there was a huge difference between him and the old man he would see in the future.

"It's such an honor to meet you."

Catherine's sentence is in Mandarin and is very standard.

"I didn't expect Miss Edson to know Mandarin, it's really amazing..."

Compared to Catherine's standard Mandarin, Jin Yong's Mandarin was far behind. Fortunately, Catherine could barely distinguish what the other party was saying.

"Well, I am somewhat interested in Chinese culture."

Jin Yong finally understood why the other party knew about his novel.

"I'm also very interested in your novels, especially The Legend of the Condor Heroes. So, I want to adapt it into a cartoon."

In fact, Catherine feels that she can completely adapt 14 of Jin Yong's novels into movies. However, Catherine is not as enthusiastic about adapting other novels as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After all, Catherine discovered the truth about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

Of course, Mr. Jin Yong will not know the truth he knows. When he knows it... it is already a done deal.

No matter what, this was written by Jin Yong himself after all.

Who asked him to make Yang Guo's appearance so ambiguous and let Yang Guo wear Xiao Longnu's old clothes?

By the way, do you want to include a scene in the animation of Yang Guo wearing Xiao Longnu’s old clothes?

It seems interesting.

Take a look at the words Jin Yong used to describe Yang Guo - delicate eyebrows, handsome appearance, smart and tall, tall and tall.

Let’s look at the description in the original text again - “Yang Guo’s sword moves are light and agile, and the strokes and strokes are connected and continuous. He is really elegant and unrestrained, his skills are flying, and he has the attitude of Jin people wearing black clothes and wearing skirts. This is

The swordsmanship of the beautiful woman is originally won by the beauty of the charm. It is set off by the opponent's shouting and running wildly, which makes him even more graceful and graceful. Although Yang Guo is dressed in rags, his swordsmanship is so exquisite that everyone

My eyes suddenly lit up, but I felt that he was an extraordinary person from Tsinghua University..."

In fact, Catherine has always believed that it would have been better if Yang had gone to the ancient tomb two years earlier. Does she need to modify some of the plot?

Of course, this thought was fleeting, and Jin Yong over there seemed a little embarrassed to see Catherine admiring him so much.

——After all, Catherine's wealth and status are much greater than Jin Yong's.

"As for the animation I adapted, I have already hired Japanese artists. I think the animation production should start this month."

Jin Yong was a little confused: "Excuse me, why not hire local painters from Hong Kong?"

In a sense, Hong Kong artists are indeed better than Japanese ones - at least when Catherine was reading comics in her previous life, Hong Kong comics were all in color, while Japanese comics were all in black and white.

However, as far as these two painting styles are concerned, Catherine feels that she still prefers the Japanese style. For some reason, Catherine always feels that the painting style of Hong Kong comics is a bit strange, but this strange feeling has no clue.

Because of what.

There is also a very important point - that is, Catherine feels that there are really not many beautiful people in Hong Kong comics...

Although the Japanese style of painting is more cartoony, the Japanese are obviously better at grasping the essence of "cute". Relatively speaking, Hong Kong people are too "tough".

"Well... I'm sorry, I think you also know that the situation in Hong Kong is too chaotic."

Naturally, it was impossible for Catherine to tell the other party her reasons, so Catherine chose another reasonable reason.

Jin Yong also nodded.

Yes, Hong Kong lately... is really crazy.

"Then how many episodes of this animation will be played?"

To be honest, Jin Yong really has no idea about animation. After all, current cartoons are still in their most primitive stage of enlightenment.

"150 episodes, each episode is 20 minutes. Mr. Jin Yong, please rest assured that my company has already produced the "Harry Potter" series. You should have watched it, right?"

In order to let Jin Yong understand the power of their company, Catherine once asked the company to send Jin Yong a VCD and the complete collection of "Harry Potter".

"Um."

When it comes to "Harry Potter", Jin Yong feels a little more at ease.

Although this anime is aimed at teenagers, the style of painting is completely different from the current Hong Kong comics.

Then, the two discussed the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The plot basically follows the original plot. Catherine feels that Yang Guo can enter the ancient tomb two years earlier.

Although some parts have been modified, most of the plot still follows the original.

Because 150 episodes need to be played, some plots need to be extended. Catherine also used this excuse to come to Yang Guo to enter the ancient tomb in advance.

As for whether she will take over the adaptation rights for the remaining 13 films, Catherine has not yet decided.

Although it is just for fun, adapting 13 novels would cost tens of millions of dollars.

This, specifically, depends on whether my adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be well-received.

Catherine herself didn't have much confidence. After all, this time she came entirely based on her own interests. This was a "go against the trend" behavior, and Catherine was already prepared to pounce.

Of course, all 150 episodes will still be completed

After returning from Jin Yong's stay, Catherine began to draw characters. In terms of painting style, Asians' acceptance of Japanese painting style obviously exceeded that of American painting style.

After all, Catherine rarely draws. Although she has not regressed, compared with before, she still has no improvement. It can only be said that she is barely able to read.

When drawing the image of Yang Guo as a boy, Catherine began to modify it.

Since your skills are not good enough, use your time to make up for it.

With great difficulty, Catherine finally completed the character design, but it was already very late.

“I don’t know if today’s Japanese painters are good at it…”

After all, Catherine's good impression of Japanese comics and animation only started to develop after the 1970s. Catherine's favorite should be EVA, and Ling Boli, a girl with no talent in her generation, killed countless compatriots in an instant.

But today’s Japanese people don’t know the meaning of “cute”.

Japan's animation industry has just started.

Is it possible that... I have to teach them a lesson myself?
