However, when World War II broke out, it was impossible for Zhang Ailing to travel to the UK.
You can only choose the University of Hong Kong nearby.
At this time, Hong Kong was still a British territory, so the entrance examination results of the University of London were also recognized by the University of Hong Kong.
At this time, Zhang Ailing had experienced her parents' divorce, her father's tyranny in life, and the chance of admission to the University of London that she had worked so hard to gain was deprived by fate.
Even the prosperity of Shanghai had left with her enrollment.
The mood was extremely gloomy.
And all things in the world are far more clear than those of the same age who have too little experience.
Therefore, at the University of Hong Kong, I seldom communicate with others.
Although his grades were abysmal, he was just aloof.
Until Qing Xiaoyi appeared.
The two women had similar grades, equal talents, and no conflict of interests, so they easily developed a friendship.
Later generations of Zhang Ailing's famous novels, such as Agarwood Chips, Love in a Fallen City, and The Story of the Golden Lock, were all written around 1943.
At this time, it was less than two years before Zhang Ailing became famous.
Zhang Ailing’s accumulated accumulation and talent are enough, and she is only one chance away from becoming famous.
At this time, on April 16, 1940, the third anniversary essay call for West Wind Monthly was announced, and Zhang Ailing’s Genius Dream won the third place in the Honorary Award.
I have already said the famous saying that the bourgeoisie of later generations regard as the Bible: Life is a gorgeous robe, covered with fleas.
Of course, only Qing Xiaoyi, her best friend, can see this trait.
For others, it would be abnormal for a person majoring in Chinese to not have two works and two police stations.
Zhang Ailing just did what she could.
Therefore, after Qing Xiaoyi heard that Yu Sheng was in trouble, she thought of her as her best friend.
Although Qing Xiaoyi does not think that her talent is inferior to Zhang Ailing, she clearly knows that her talent is more focused on the acceptance and processing speed of information, but it is not creativity that arises out of thin air.
Yu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard from Qing Xiaoyi that he could invite Zhang Ailing.
As far as he knew, Zhang Ailing also wrote scripts in later generations.
In 1947, Zhang Ailing collaborated with director Sang Hu in Shanghai and wrote the three scripts "Long Live the Wife".
In 1952, in Hong Kong, Eileen Chang wrote two scripts: A Little Son and a Daughter from the North and the South Reunite.
In 1958, Eileen Chang also wrote several love scripts for the Hong Kong Film and Television Corporation, such as Battlefield, Romance, Talented People, and North and South Family.
Although novels and dramas are not the same art form, they have many things in common.
It is normal for someone as talented as Zhang Ailing to be able to draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences from one to the other.
Therefore, Yu Sheng set a time for Qing Xiaoyi to invite Zhang Ailing to be the screenwriter of Shanghai Tang.
He believes that Zhang Ailing understands Shanghai based on his knowledge and experience.
It is not difficult to adapt Shanghai Tang and maintain the flavor.
It may even have an effect that exceeds that of the original drama.
As for remuneration, Zhang Ailing can set whatever price she wants.
Today's great talent Yu is not short of that much money When he met Zhang Ailing for the first time, Yu Sheng did not notice the amazing talent and beauty of this woman.
Although he had seen Zhang Ailing's photos in later publicity campaigns of the University of Hong Kong.
However, those photos were also dressed up and retouched.
As Zhang Ailing herself said, "In terms of common sense in dealing with others, I show shocking stupidity."
If others get such an opportunity, they will definitely dress neatly and look energetic.
But at this time, Zhang Ailing was neither as stunning as she was when she was in her heyday, designing her own clothes, nor was she experienced in dealing with people or in business negotiations.
Just wearing a student uniform very casually.
And didn't care.
She has an aesthetic appreciation for the world, but never caters to it.
However, during the conversation, she was very interested in making such a movie about Shanghai for the rest of her life.
She asked Yu Sheng: "How should I participate?"
"I already have a story idea.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
But there are too many ideas.
I need you to cut out the complex ones and simplify them according to your own interests.
Can you even make derivatives and creations based on the templates I gave?"
"No Problem" Geniuses are quite confident in what they are good at.
Yu Sheng then sorted out his thoughts and told the story of Shanghai from the beginning.
After considering the rhythm and rationality of the story, Yu Sheng finally chose the New Shanghai Beach version of later generations Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li as a template.
"Since the opening of the port, Shanghai has been prosperous and unstoppable.
It is like a spark igniting a prairie fire.
Not only foreign forces covet this place, but also among Chinese people, various forces are fighting endlessly.
On this day, Jin Dazhong and a few thugs went to Feng Jingyao's dock There was a riot, and A Bing fought to the death.
Xu Wenqiang, who had been imprisoned for a long time, got off the train with the crowd and came to the station where he met Feng Jingyao’s daughter Feng Chengcheng.”
"Feng Chengcheng's appearance and temperament are similar to Xu Wenqiang's first girlfriend Fang Yanyun back then.
Therefore, it attracted Xu Wenqiang's attention.
However, times have changed, and Fang Yanyun back then is now The most famous socialite in Shanghai has an ambiguous relationship with Shanghai tycoon Feng Jingyao, and the reason for this ambiguity is that Fang Yanyun is very similar to Feng Jingyao’s late wife and Feng Chengcheng’s mother.”
Regardless of movies or TV, what is presented is details and concreteness.
An episode of a TV series may seem very long, but if it is narrated in abstract language, it is only a few dozen sentences, which can be explained clearly in one or two minutes.
Although Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li's version of Shanghai is adapted from the old version of Shanghai, the story line is much more complicated and sophisticated, with as many as forty episodes.
But it only took more than an hour for Yu Sheng to explain the outline and rough plot of Zhang Ailing's story clearly.
After listening to it, Zhang Ailing found Feng Chengcheng in this story very interesting.
The Shanghai Beach constructed by Yu Sheng is also similar to the Shanghai Beach in my impression, which is prosperous and noisy.
Then he asked Yu Sheng: "I heard from Xiaoyi that every movie you make will have a theme song.
Shanghai Beach should be no exception."
"Of course I will sing it to you" I have heard Ye Liyi singing "Shanghai Tang" countless times in my later life.
Whether it is the Cantonese version or the Mandarin version, I can easily sing it without making any mistakes.
"The waves are rushing, the thousands of miles of turbulent rivers are endless, and they have washed away all the things in the world.
They are mixed into one surging tide, whether it is joy or sorrow.
I can't tell the difference between laughter, sorrow, success and failure.
I can't tell whether there is love or hate in the waves.
I ask you.
Do you know that it is like a great river that turns a thousand bends and turns a thousand beaches without restraining itself, and still does not calm down the struggle within it?"
"There is joy and sorrow.
Even if I can't tell the difference between laughter and sorrow, I am still willing to ride through hundreds of thousands of waves and have enough ups and downs in my heart.
If I love you and hate you, do you know that it is like a big river that can't hold back and turns a thousand bends?
The beach has not yet calmed down.
There are joys and sorrows in the battle.
Even if I can't distinguish between laughter and sorrow, I still want to ride through hundreds of thousands of waves and have enough ups and downs in my heart
