August 30, Green Tea Cafe. It¡¯s a strange name, but just like its name, it serves green tea and coffee. This is where Jin Yong, Dong Qiao, Zhang Lilai and Lin Jing agreed. When Jin Yong, Dong Qiao and Zhang Li arrived, they found that Lin Jing had been sitting there waiting for a long time. The reason for this interview is that the three of them wanted to know more about "The Rise of Great Powers". On the other hand, it was Dong Qiao and Zhang Lilai, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Monthly", who had a strong curiosity about Lin Jing. He wanted to see in person the author who could write "The Rise of the Great Powers", a work of the times. , what exactly is it like? Although they have also read Mr. Qian Zhongshu's works and know the famous allusion of hens and eggs. For this reason, they even purchased all Lin Jing¡¯s works and took a brief look at them. As the saying goes, words are like people. They wanted to have a general impression of Lin Jing as a person through Lin Jing's words. The result is that meeting someone is not as good as being famous, or in other words, there are no fake people under the great reputation. Lin Jing, a girl under 17 years old, gave him the first impression of a very beautiful and quiet girl, sitting there motionless, like a green lotus. When we got close and started talking, his deep eyes revealed a spiritual understanding, which made people feel at first glance that he was a person with a lot of background. It just corresponds to that sentence: There is poetry and calligraphy in my belly! In fact, before this, when he first started reading "The Rise of Great Powers: The Ocean Age", Dong Qiao had doubts that it was a ghost-written work, but then he was relieved after thinking about it for a while. Needless to say, people like Lin Jing, whose literary reputation is well-known in Hong Kong and Taiwan, generally do not resort to fraud to get themselves into trouble. Let's say that Lin Jing and Jin Yong have been friends for many years. Based on his understanding of "Lao Cha", the character of people who can be friends with him for many years will not be that bad. What¡¯s more, an important article like ¡°The Rise of a Great Power¡± is destined to attract attention as soon as it comes out. No one would be so stupid as to give it to someone else. After getting to know each other, Zhang Lilai, who was not as thoughtful as Dong Qiao, immediately raised the question that had been pressing in his heart for several days: how many countries will be written in "The Rise of the Great Powers". Regarding Zhang Lilai¡¯s question, and seeing that Jin Yong and Dong Qiao also seemed to be very interested in this question, Lin Jing did not hesitate at all. She answered quickly, and then she took out the outline of "The Rise of the Great Powers". A small country with a great cause - the Netherlands, the pioneer of modernity and industry - the United Kingdom, the passionate years - France, the spring and autumn of the empire - Germany, a century of reform - Japan, seeking a way to become stronger - Tsarist Russia, a new way to change - the Soviet Union, New The Dream of a New Nation and the New Deal in Crisis - America, and finally the conclusion - Thoughts on the Great Way. This outline is the original outline. Lin Jing did not make many changes, except that the book and the video are different. She combined the content of the first and second episodes of one country into one. Written out in unison. "The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, and the United States, plus the summary, wouldn't there be eight more volumes, plus the first volume for Portugal and Spain, nearly a million words?" Although there is no doubt about "The Rise of the Great Powers" Zhang Lilai was mentally prepared for the huge structure, but after Lin Jing took out the outline, Zhang Lilai was still shocked by the outline. "Yes. It should be about one million words." Lin Jing replied with a smile. With the foundation laid in "The Rise of Great Powers: The Ocean Age", she is now confident about the next eight volumes. She believes that the next eight volumes will be easy to write. Much easier. Of course, this ease is only relative, it is not a simple matter in the first place. "So Miss Lin, what's the point of writing "The Rise of the Great Powers"?" "We are all Chinese!" When Lin Jing said this, her eyes looked north intentionally or unintentionally. Looking north to China! Jin Yong¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard this, but after a moment¡¯s thought, he already understood Lin Jing¡¯s real purpose in writing ¡°The Rise of the Great Powers¡±. The mainland is full of wastes waiting to be revitalized, and the policy of reform and opening up is being carried out everywhere. Because of the different national conditions, there is not much experience that can be used for reference. Everything has to be explored by oneself. As the saying goes, cross the river by feeling the stones. Although I have made the greatest determination. But it is very dangerous to cross the river by feeling the stones without knowing the depth of the river and whether there is undercurrent and silt. If at this time, someone sums up the experience of the rise of major powers since the 16th century, maybe they can Let this reform and opening up avoid many detours. But is this summary so easy to make? If it were so easy to make, I¡¯m afraid everyone would become an academic master. However, so far, there is only one world-famous book - "A General History of the World", which tells the story of major events in a flash.The history of these great powers, as to why they became great powers, has not been fully explained. After understanding this, Jin Yong was surprised by Lin Jing's profound thoughts, broad vision, and high intentions. "Lao Cha, Lao Cha, Lao Cha?" After a while, Jin Yong came out of his surprise when he heard Zhang Lilai's cry. "Very good, very good" While saying this, he nodded gently to show his approval to Lin Jing. With the support of Jin Yong, Dong Qiao and Zhang Lilai, "The Rise of Great Powers: The Ocean Age" will "land" in the September "Ming Pao Monthly" and dominate the entire monthly section. On August 31, the day before the launch of "The Rise of Great Powers: The Ocean Age", both "Ming Pao" and "Ming Pao Evening News" published relevant briefings about "The Rise of Great Powers", which is equivalent to a dozen advertisements in advance. "Lin Jing's new work - "The Rise of Great Powers: The Age of Oceans"!" With Lin Jing's current reputation, there is no need to add prefixes such as genius and beautiful girl in front of it, which make people sweat coldly and sweat like waterfalls. "Ming Pao" and "Ming Pao Evening News" have sold more than 100,000 copies, which can be said to be distributed in every corner of Hong Kong. Therefore, although Lin Jing has not released a new work in recent months, and the news is not as popular as last year and the beginning of the year, news about her and "The Rise of the Great Powers: Ocean Age" soon became popular. In front of a newsstand. "You see, Lin Jing has a new work out. You still don't believe it. It's funny that some time ago there were people who couldn't eat the grapes and called them sour grapes. They said that the gangsters are exhausted. This slap in the face is too fast, too red, and too red. It's swollen." A certain Lin Jing fan picked up a copy of Ming Pao, pointed at a piece of news, and said with a disdainful sneer. "Hey, it's true. She actually released a new book at this time. Could it be that she has been writing books behind closed doors during the summer vacation?" A young man who was a fan of Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise, "She is indeed my Miss Lin, although she has already The genius is so disappointing, but when it comes to diligence, no one can match it! " "It's not just a summer vacation, you see, it said that the new book was conceived last year. Well, the previous book was two or three years ago. It took only a few months to complete, and it¡¯s already so beautiful. This book took almost a year to complete. Isn¡¯t it a truly peerless book?¡± Lin Jing, a mentally retarded fan, wondered hopelessly. In the minds of Lin Jing¡¯s many book fans, although her scripts are well written and the movies she makes are very good-looking, no matter how exciting the movie is, it only lasts for tens of minutes and more than a hundred minutes, and it cannot be compared to the reading ability of the book. Last year, new books came out one after another, and all the book fans were so happy. Who would have thought that Lin Jing would "suddenly" fall in love with writing scripts and making movies, just like what the poem said, just as the Hou family is as deep as the sea, Xiao Lang has been a passerby from then on. Since she started writing scripts, setting up a company to make movies, and entering the film industry, Lin Jing has gone further and further on the road to movies, so that there are fewer and fewer new works. As of this year, in addition to "Three Kingdoms" which was released last year, there is only one children's English novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and even this children's English novel has only been published in Europe and the United States. Yes, I haven¡¯t seen the original version in Hong Kong yet. Although many book fans have purchased genuine books from Europe and the United States through various channels. It seems that Lin Jing has forgotten the skill of "writing books" because she is obsessed with movies. All book fans are disappointed and regretful. However, they did not expect that just when they thought that Lin Jing had stopped writing books, the news that Lin Jing was going to launch a new book suddenly came from an authoritative newspaper like "Ming Pao", and it took more than a year. When the book was written, everyone was overjoyed and ecstatic. It was like celebrating the New Year. They even told each other about it. Friends agreed to form a group to buy the new book in the year when it was released, so as to build up the momentum for Lin Jing's new book.
