Write a sci-fi nibble
Cai Wei, who writes food
Write martial arts Jin Yong
The four people have their own strengths, and they are all good friends. They are also full of literary generations in the abdomen. They are therefore collectively known as “the four great talents of Hong Kong.”
The four great talents are a symbol of the times. They are a microcosm of Hong Kong culture. It is a legendary milestone. Among the four people, Huang Zhan died of cancer in 2004. It was a big event in Hong Kong. Today, last year, on October 30, 2018, Jin Yong died at the age of 94.
No one can expect that Hong Kong will change in the first anniversary of Mr. Jin Yong’s death. The gap between Hong Kong people and mainlanders can be so great. We have had common memories on both sides of the strait because of the “four great talents”, and these memories have been rushing over time, and I don’t know where they will eventually go.

The waves run, the waves, the miles of the Taotao river will never stop…
In 1990, with the hit of the TV series “On the Beach”, this “Shang Hai”, which was sung by Ye Liyi, became popular in the north and south of the river and became the first generation of popular songs that everyone in the streets and alleys sang. It was amazing by Hong Kong music. The lyricist of this song is Huang Zhan.
After the death of Huang Zhan due to cancer, in order to commemorate the commemoration of the singer of the singer of the music, the fat sister (Shen Dianxia) broke the story behind it.
One day and a half in 1980, Gu Jiahui asked Huang to fill in the words. On the phone, he did two things:
1, licking the score;
2, notify Huang Zhanming to submit the manuscript early.
When Huang Zhan hangs up the phone, he immediately writes this “Go to the Beach”. Just when he had no clue, he suddenly felt a stomach cramp and immediately ran into the toilet. At the same time as the comfort, the mind flashed “the waves run, the waves, the miles of the river will never stop.”
A classic was born from the toilet.
After writing the words, Huang Zhan, who drank two bottles of white wine, suddenly remembered: he has not been to Shanghai, I don’t know if there is any wave in Huangpu River!
Huang Zhan quickly flipped through books, checked the information, and wanted to know the facts.
Unconsciously, the horizon has already revealed the white belly, and the drunken yellow smudge will soon be handed over. No matter whether there is any wave in Huangpu River, the manuscript is directly sent to Gu Jiahui, who is a big man. sleep.
Later, in an interview with Yang Lan, Huang Zhan explained this:
“The ship is open, there is no wave!”
In 1941, Huang Zhan was born in Guangzhou, and his brothers and sisters were eight at home. He ranked sixth. At the age of eight, Huang Zhan moved to Hong Kong with his family.
The yellow age of the student era was the most fascinating thing, and it was more than 20 minutes under Bruce Lee’s fist. At that time, Li Xiaolong was also called Li Yuanjian, because he was entangled in the cousin of Huang Zhan.
The unyielding cousin found his cousin Huang Zhan to vent his temper. After seeing it, I discovered that the seemingly thin and weak person turned out to be the famous “campus bully” Li Yuanjian!
The shameless person doesn’t lose face, knowing that Huang Ding’s scalp is playing with Bruce Lee, and under Bruce Lee’s violent fists, Huang Zhan eventually lost, but after that time, he There is also a short friendship with Bruce Lee.
La Yuanjian later became Li Xiaolong, and Huang Zhanfeng said:
I also played with Bruce Lee in the same year!

“Anyone is open, and good things come naturally.”
With this old and well-known advertising copy, Huang Zhan, a graduate of the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong, has established a foothold in the advertising industry and became the first Hong Kong person to win the “Kio Award”, the highest honor in the US advertising industry.
In 1976, Huang Zhan and Xiangjiang talented woman Lin Yanni fell in love. In the same year, the two invested a total of 25,000 Hong Kong dollars to set up Huang and Lin advertising company, Huang Zeng as chairman and Lin Yanni as general manager.
Lin Yanni’s talents and versatility, with the joint efforts of Huang and Lin, the company’s operating conditions are very good. In 1987, 11 years after its founding, the multinational advertising company SAATCHI & SAATCHI proposed to purchase “Yellow and Lin”. After discussing with Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni, they agreed to sell.
But Huang Zhan, who has a lot of “playing heart”, has established “Huang Zhan Film Industry Co., Ltd.” and is the chairman. At the age of 50, Huang Zhan suffered business failures, debts, and problems with Lin Yanni.
After 14 years, in 1990, their feelings finally came to an end. On May 31, 2018, Lin Yanni died of lung cancer at the Hong Kong Yanghe Hospital, at the age of 75.
In the same year, in the end of Huang Zhan’s feelings, Hu Jintao and the new generation of directors Xu Ke and Cheng Xiaodong participated in the film “Swordsman”.
Because of the inconsistency, Hu Jintao withdrew from the project. In the end, Xu Ke dominated the tone of the film. After the film was filmed, Xu Ke found Huang Zhan, hoping to write a song for this Jin Yong original movie.
A year of divorce, Huang Zhan, after being drafted by Xu Ke for six times, found inspiration from the ancient scales “Palace, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu” and wrote a score. And draw a cocked middle finger on the score, saying: If you don’t want this manuscript, pull it down! I am not waiting! !
After receiving the score of the middle finger, Xu Ke decided to it, and it was the first time to make a sound. Together with Huang Zhan, he recorded this song, “Looking at the Sea”.
Because the first time I recorded a song, I couldn’t open my voice. So, the two drunk in the studio and successfully completed the vocal part of the song.
“沧海一笑笑” won the Hong Kong Academy Award for Best Original Film Song Award.
Luo Dayou said: “The great thing about this song is that the lyrics are unchanged. It is equally toned in Cantonese and Mandarin, but it is also so nice. This form of song can hardly find the second song. This is yellow. A terrific place.”
On the podium, Huang Zhan used his bright voice to say: “In fact, this song is still listening to it. There are still some shortcomings. I didn’t want Xu Ke to force me to change it six times. Even now this version None.”

“Ask me how many cheers, how many sad and crying I have, I smiled and answered, I said, I am me.” – “Ask me”
In the late 1990s, Cantonese pop music began to decline, and Huang Zhan returned to the University of Hong Kong to study the pop music department.
A paper was written for six years to discuss the relationship between society and pop music. With a thousand words, it covers almost all his life’s understanding and thinking about pop music.
When writing this paper, he has entered the final stage of his life, lung cancer chemotherapy, physical weakness, still not penetrating.
After finalizing the draft, no one in Hong Kong dared to examine his paper and passed it directly.
After detecting cancer in 2001, Huang Zhan shaved his head. He simply pulled in two other bald heads – Mai Jia and Luo Jiaying made a new program, “Three Bald Heads,” and continued to talk and laugh.
Huang Zhan wrote more than 2,000 songs in his life. With his own strength, he has driven the development of pop music in Hong Kong and created an illustrious glory. His yellow novel “No Collection” has been reprinted more than 60 times. So far, no one in Hong Kong has broken this best-selling record.
In 2004, Huang Zhan died of late lung cancer, leaving a warning saying:
“In fact, people are deaf.”

During the serial period of “Dragons and Eight”, Jin Yong went abroad for several months, and Ni Kuang wrote and wrote, deliberately writing Azi’s eyes. Later, Jin Yong looked for him and said, “Can I delete the paragraph you wrote?”
Ni Kuang replied: “You come to ask me, it is not to treat me as a friend!”
Ni Kuang (formerly known as Ni Cong), also known as the word, was born in Shanghai on May 30, 1935, and was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, a famous novelist.
Ni Kuang was a smuggling Hong Kong. At that time, he broke a small mistake in Xinjiang and tried to fight. So he ran to Hong Kong. And Ni Kuang’s sister is a famous writer Yi Shu who is familiar to everyone. He laughed and said that every time the publisher looked for him to obtain the copyright of Yishu, his own people were not interested.
But in fact, Ni Kuang’s sectionFantasy novels are recognized by Chinese writers. Before the birth of “Three-body”, he was even praised as the first person in Chinese science fiction.
“Humans who claim to be the spirit of all things are so fragile, adaptable to the harsh environment and endurance, not as simple as a flea.”
The above is the revelation that Ni Kuang got from a small flea.
In the four great talents of “Qi Yu”, Ni Kuang can be described as “exciting” in “Qi Yu”.
It is rumored that Ni Kuang had seen aliens in the Northeast, so his science fiction novels can be written so well, and he himself said that he likes to write martial arts novels, but Jin Yong, the old friend Jin Yu, is in front. I had to take it easy and concentrate on science fiction.
Because Ni Kuang is a “wonderful”, it is often surprising.
Ni Kuang likes to smoke. He has had a smoke age of thirty-five years. The highest record is four to five bags a day. When he brushes his teeth, he does not stop. When the left tooth is brushed, the cigarette bites to the right and the right side of the brush bites to the left.
Until one day, he suddenly heard the voice of God say it several times:
“You can’t smoke!”
Since then, Ni Kuang has never smoked anymore.
He doesn’t know how to drive, but when he is fascinated with researching a car, he once turned a car into a single one and then reinstalled it in his original state; he had at least two experiences of ghosts and believed in the existence and immortality of the soul; When I went to the funeral of my friend Gu Long, I burst into tears, but I drank most of the bottled wine…
When he was a child, he also experienced the “Fox Xian Xian Sheng”. Therefore, it is still believed that different creatures can make structural changes through the so-called practice, and they will become adults. It is the source of his representative work, the Wesley Science Fiction series, “The Perfect Man”.
According to Ni Kuang himself, he was able to see the name of Wesley Village when passing through Tai Hang Road in Wanchai, Hong Kong, so he was inspired by the name of the protagonist.
From the first “Diamond Flower” in 1963 to “Old Friends Only” in 2004, Weissley produced a total of 145 books. Among them, “Blue Blood Man” was selected as one of the “Top 20 Chinese Novels in the 20th Century” in 2000. “, became Ni Kuang’s representative work on science fiction.
And this person, who has been called “the most written Chinese characters since he was a human being”, will naturally write and write the script.

In the late 1960s, martial arts films became popular, and novelist Ni Kuang turned to scriptwriting. The main “customer” was the Hong Kong film giant, the Shaw Brothers Film Company.
He also wrote “Jingwumen” to Bruce Lee. The character of Chen Zhen is the original character of Ni Kuang’s “Being out of nothing”.
Ni Kuang has written countless scripts for Shaw Brothers Film Company. Among the more than 400 martial arts films produced by Shaw Brothers, 261 are written by Ni Kuang, if he is written for film companies in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. The number has to double.
Chen Wengui, the screenwriter of “The Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth”, recalled:
“When I entered Shaw as a screenwriter, some staff told me that Ni Lan went to work every day, opened the desk drawer and wrote a script. After an hour, he opened the drawer and wrote the script. It is said that the table has eight drawers…
Among them, most of the martial arts films shot by the famous masculine martial arts director Zhang Che, the scripts are all from the hands of Ni Kuang; he also wrote the serial of “Dragons and Eight” during his time when his old friend Jin Yong went abroad, and he also wrote for Gu Long. Part of the “double generation arrogance.”
To this end, Ni Kuang quite proudly wrote a link:
“Fasting Zhang Jian’s script, and writing a novel by Jin Yong.”
On April 8, 2006, the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation Ceremony was held at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong. The best screenwriter awards were given by Ni Kuang and Cai Wei, the “Big Talents of Hong Kong”.
At the awarding ceremony, Cai Wei tweeted Ni Kuang: “You wrote a script for Shao’s 261. Plus, if you haven’t taken it, I know there are 100, but some people are asking for money. You wrote 200, which adds up to 461… I wrote so many scripts, why didn’t I give you a prize?”
Ni Kuang replied: “Why take the prize! Nominations!”
Cai Wei asked why, Ni Kuang’s generous answer: “This is still asking, of course, because it is written too badly!”
After six years, in 2012, at the 31st Golden Awards, Xu Ke solemnly sent a “Lifetime Achievement Award” to the 77-year-old Ni Kuang on behalf of the Hong Kong film circle, and called him “Lotte Creative” Head”.

“My name is Cai Wei, it sounds like a basket of vegetables, a basket of food, so I have to eat and drink for a lifetime. Now I have a dragon gate, only talk about food, regardless of politics.” Cai Wei on Weibo, so introduce himself.
On May 14, 2012, CCTV1’s “Charm Record” column broadcasted a food documentary that influenced the present – “China on the tip of the tongue.”
And Cai Wei, as the honorary chairman of the World Chinese Healthy Eating Association, was invited by the program group to become the program’s general counsel.
In 1955, 14-year-old Cai Wei published his first film review of “The Madhouse” in Singapore’s “Nanyang Business Daily”, and his writing path has since been out of control.
And – get the draft fee, he will immediately take a group of students to eat, drink and play. Therefore, Ni Kuang said: “Cai Wei is one of the few people who have no one behind him to say bad things about him.”
At the time, there was a very popular saying among the authors: “If you don’t write a column in Ming Pao, you will not have the status of a river.” At the age of forty, it was still a film-produced Cai Wei’s whim and wanted to be in Ming Pao. Write a column.
Because of knowing Ni Kuang, Cai Yu was able to be drafted by Jin Yong.
With Ni Kuang mentioning this idea, each time he was eating with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang talked with Jin Yong about Cai Wei. At first Jin Yong did not interrupt, but finally could not help but politely asked: “Who is Cai Wei?” p>
Ni Kuang pretends to be surprised: “Hey! The article is written so well, you really don’t recognize it?”
After three days, Jin Yong came to Ni Kuang and asked: “When is that Cai Wei, when will you introduce me?”
“He is very busy, I will make an appointment for you.”
Hang Jinyong’s three-day appetiteAfter that, Ni Kuangcai made an appointment with Cai Yong to meet with Jin Yong.
That night, the three people were happy to take a seat, chatting in the north and the north. After seeing Cai’s talent, it took only two weeks. Jin Yong finalized Cai’s writing in the Ming Pao.

In 1957, Cai Wei served as the Japanese manager of Shaw Brothers Film Company.
After two years, Cai Wei came to Hong Kong and worked as a film producer for Shaw, Golden Harvest and other major Southeast Asian studios. During this period, he supervised a number of films starring Jackie Chan, and therefore met Jackie Chan.
In 1983, Jia Hechang boss He Guanchang stood in front of Cai Wei, frowning back and forth. At that time, Cai Wei was only the production manager of Jiahe. Why did the boss let him visit the door in person?
Because of this, it is a matter of Jackie Chan.
At the time, it was in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and it was also the most embarrassing period of the underworld. The entertainment circle is inextricably linked to the underworld.
As a gimmick, Jackie Chan will not “walk the dock”, and he does not know how to make those “big bangs”. Over time, the contradiction between the old and the young is getting worse.
When I went to the restaurant for dinner, Jackie Chan was suddenly rushed in. The young and daring darling took the knife on his neck. After he finally escaped, he wanted to leave Hong Kong for a while and avoid the limelight.
And all of Hong Kong, no one dared to take Jackie away – no one would dare to offend the people on the road.
Unfortunately, He Guanchang found Cai Wei, one of Hong Kong’s “four great talents.”
After the instructions, soon, Cai Wei arranged everything and left Hong Kong with Jackie Chan.
From the beginning of the movie, Cai Wei always surrounds the beauty, and never lacks a girlfriend. At the age of 75, Cai Wei still falls in love as usual.
Women surround, Cai Wei only said that they are “cute”, generously express their liking, but rarely say “love” to each other.
An interview, Cai Wei said that before going to Japan to study and joining the Shaw Group, he liked a girl. The girl wanted his love, and Cai was shocked:
“She wants me to love her, how is this possible!”
Cai Wei said without hesitation that he was injured for the last time, and he was fifteen or six years old.
In 1989, 54-year-old Ni Lan liked a mother mulberry, and took Cai Wei and Huang Zhan to go to Mama Sang’s nightclub to drink flowers and wine. Three people talked jokes one after another, and teased the women who accompanied the wine. inverted.
Afterwards, Cai Wei sneaked to pay the bill, only to know that it would cost HK$20,000 to 20,000 a night. He shouted at the moment:
” Wine is not the best, women are not the most beautiful! Not reconciled, it is better for us to have a program that specializes in yellow jokes! Please come the most beautiful female celebrity!”
In this way, Huang Zhan, Cai Wei and Ni Kuang, three years and a half of the talents of the genius, together, made the most free-spirited variety show that was not available in the world at the time – “Tonight is not fortified” .
After the broadcast tonight, it has set a record of more than 70%. The BBC even sent a team to shoot the topic.Film, but at the time, many people were 48 years old, Cai Wei was “old and unfair.”
And Cai Wei still smiled and said: “Why do you have to be serious, if you are old, you must be old-fashioned? I am old and not serious!”

“A single eggplant has a lot of practices around the world. You only know which one is better when you compare it. A variety of ingredients is ever-changing. Don’t talk about the best in our hometown all day long. Be sure to relax your horizons. Only limited to the local, limited to China, will be teased by others.”
There is nothing more than a sinful Cai Wen’s favorite food. He presides on food shows, writes food reviews, and the only requirement for himself is “truth” – to write his own feelings truly, and not to hypocritically tell lies.
Today, Cai Wei settled in Kowloon City.
This is Hong Kong’s famous food center, with the last stone street and food stalls. The signboards are layered on both sides of the road. Cai Wei likes the noisy market atmosphere, buys food, drinks morning tea, eats fish and rice…
There is a story about Cai Wei, it is impossible to verify its true and false:
On a plane, Cai Wei drinks alcohol as usual. The plane encountered airflow and began to violently bump. Sitting on the edge of his Australian fat man grabbed the handrail and was too nervous. Cai Wei was calm, and the bumps stopped. The fat man looked over and asked: “Dude, have you died?”
Cai Wei answered: “I have lived.”
I believe this story because it is his answer to his life.
