In the summer of 1842, with birds singing and falling, Dumas followed Prince Napoleon to the island of Elba, one of the royal holy places, dumas was 39 years old and the prince was 19 years old. The two ran all over the island, chasing the hare mountain quail, and after resting, the guide pointed to a conical island in the mist in the distance and said, "Two excellencies, if you go hunting on that island, you will have more prey." Dumas said, what is the name of the island? The guide said, Monte Cristo Island.
Hearing this sacred name, Dumas turned to Prince Napoleon and said, "Prince, in order to commemorate this visit, I will write a novel under the name of "Monte Cristo".
Dumas's original idea was simply to write a nostalgic and antique travelogue, but the publisher said that it would not sell well and would not make money. They want Dumas to write something like anecdotes to catch people's eyes. Dumas was also a good talker, and he listened to people's advice to eat enough, so he looked around for information. The effort paid off, and he finally found a memoir written by a retired police station archivist, one of which was called "The Diamond of Revenge", which was twisted and moving.
In 1807, paris lived a young shoemaker named Pico, who, though poor, was handsome and talkative, and had a beautiful fiancée. One day, he came to the café of a friend named Rubion, who was from the same country as him. After a while three more fellow countrymen, three more rounds of drinking, and Pico said happily, I am getting married, and his fiancée Marguerite is young and beautiful, an orphan girl, and a hundred thousand francs inheritance, and has a deep affection for him. The four fellow villagers listened, and they were stunned, and began to envy, then jealousy, and finally hatred, how much green smoke was rising from the grave of your special ancestors, and this kind of great good thing could fall on your head.
Fellow countrymen see fellow countrymen, and a shot comes from the back.
After Pico left, Rubion told the three that I could mix things up with him. As soon as I went to the police station to report that he was a British spy, he was in big trouble. One of the three fellows said that it was not too immoral to do so. The others said that it was okay, everyone was just playing, just having fun, and he wasn't really a spy, and nothing could happen.
As a result, the three people went to the police station to report it, and the policeman who took over the case made a great contribution, feeling that this was a godsend, and immediately arrested Pico, and since then there has been no news. The poor fiancée inquired everywhere, but could not find the slightest clue, so she had to stop it. Seven years passed, and after the fall of the Napoleonic Empire, Pico was released. He was weak and old, and he was the same as he had been sentenced to two people. While in prison, he carefully cared for a high-ranking Italian priest who was seriously ill and had no children, and on his deathbed he gave him all his inheritance and told him where to put the money.
After several twists and turns, Pico finally found the treasure. He returned to Paris under the pseudonym Joseph, and found out that his fiancée had waited for him for two years, thinking that he had died in Huangquan, and had no choice but to marry Rubyon, who had a fiancée's dowry and the business was prosperous. Pico then assumed the pseudonym Prospek and went into a café in Rubion and became a buddy. He was old and ugly at this time, looking to be in his fifties, and Rubyon could not recognize him at all.
Rubion and his ex-wife have a flower-like daughter, twenty-eight years old, a clumsy boy who lies about a millionaire who often goes to the café, and the two quickly get to a hot fight. The generous shots and exquisite pomp and circumstance made Rubion very happy, thinking that his daughter had caught the golden turtle son-in-law. Not long after, the daughter was pregnant, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to do the marriage procedures, Lubian arranged a grand wedding for them, sent invitations to all relatives and friends, and did not expect that on the day of the wedding banquet, the groom escaped. It turned out that this person was not a rich young master, but a fraudster who had just been released.
Rubyon was at a loss. Within a few days, his café was burned to ashes by a mysterious fire and became nothing, leaving only his buddy Prospeakl unforgiving. Rubyon's son Eugène, a brainless and weak-willed fellow, soon mingled with a gang of bad guys and committed theft and was sentenced to twenty years in prison. Lubion was destitute, and his wife (i.e. Margaret) died of grief.
It was at this time that Prospek gave all his savings to Rubyon, but on one condition, he would marry his daughter. In order to save her father, the poor daughter had to marry.
After a series of blows, Rubyon went insane. One night, he was wandering along a dark path in the park when suddenly a masked man appeared in front of him. Rubion, do you remember Pico? You made him squat in jail. Rubyon said, Ah, God has punished me, I have nothing. The masked man said, It is not God who punishes you, but Picco, and now recognize Picco. After saying that, he ripped off the mask and revealed his true face. Rubion screamed and was stabbed to death by A dagger from Pico.
Within a few days, another fellow was stabbed to death with a dagger, and another was poisoned to death. But Pico did not attack the fourth place, because the man who had said that he had framed him for lack of virtue did not participate in the matter. However, this is also a person with a heart, seeing his friends die one after another, he feels that he should have something to do with Picot, so he secretly investigates, and sure enough, he found that Prosby was Picco at that time.
One dark and windy night, Pico went out for a walk, was caught by the fellow and locked in the cellar. After revealing his identity, Picco was killed by the man. In 1828, the man was critically ill and told the police about the case.
Dumas read the file and said unceremoniously that it would be foolish to write it this way. It's like an oyster hiding a pearl, and this pearl needs me to carve.
It is a story of "revenge", which Dumas sublimated and named "The Count of Monte Cristo", also known as "The Revenge of Monte Cristo".
A crew member named Edmond was about to marry his fiancée, Mesitis, when misfortune fell on him, and a series of disasters inexplicably fell on him, and he was imprisoned, and his wife married a friend. He met a wealthy elder in prison and managed to escape from prison. Under the pseudonym Of Monte Cristo, he arranged for a newly released fraudster to marry a friend's daughter and escape at the wedding.
All of this corresponds to the real case file, differing in his method of revenge against his enemies. In the real case, Pico killed three enemies, spared one, and was killed by this person. Dumas felt that killing people to avenge was too cruel, and his method of revenge was to let the enemy get revenge.
Eventually one of the Counts of Monte Cristo went bankrupt, one committed suicide, one went mad. The vengeful Count of Monte Cristo, regardless of his previous suspicions, re-arranged a dowry for the daughter of the enemy to marry the son of a good friend.
As soon as the "Count of Monte Cristo" came out, it caused a huge sensation, brought Dumas a great reputation, and the whole of Paris was intoxicated. Dumas earned two hundred thousand francs a year, and he spent the money to build a villa, named "Monte Cristo Castle", which was extremely luxurious, and Balzac said enviously, "If you see it, you will like it madly, this is a charming villa".
Dumas declared that all writers, painters, musicians, artists, whoever they were in financial difficulty could come here to eat and live in vain, "and it costs hundreds of thousands of francs a year just to entertain these people". Dumas's mistresses changed one after another, including young actresses, young writers, and young countesses.
Unsurprisingly, such profligacy quickly sat on the mountain and ate the sky. Just over a year later, Dumas was in debt and creditors poured in from all directions. A shoemaker approached Dumas to demand the arrears of two hundred and fifty francs, and Dumas received the creditor kindly. Ah, my good friend, you have come by such a coincidence. I need a pair of leather boots for hunting. The shoemaker said, I'll bring you a bill. Dumas said, ah, right, right, eat first, talk after eating. After eating, the shoemaker took out the bill, and Dumas said, this time is not suitable for business, I have set up a carriage for you, this is twenty francs, you take it and hurry to the train station to buy a ticket, and you will not be able to catch the train home later.
The shoemaker came thirty times, took six hundred francs, and ate thirty good meals.
After the villa was auctioned, the furniture, paintings, vehicles, books, including animals, were all pulled away to pay off the debt. On his last day after Dumas left Monte Cristo, he brought two plums on a plate for a friend to eat. The friend ate one, and Dumas said, "Your plum is worth a hundred thousand francs." The friend asked in amazement, a hundred thousand francs? Dumas said the two plums were the last property of the entire villa. When I built this villa, it cost a total of two hundred thousand francs.
In 1963, Jin Yong wrote "The Trick of Connecting the City".
"Lian Cheng Tiao" is Jin Yong's interpretation of the true story of a long-term worker named Hesheng in his family. Hesheng is a disabled camel, when he was young, he found that his parents were very kind to Hesheng, never bad and sheng did anything, just let him sweep the floor at home, wipe dust, and transport children to and from school. When it snows and rains, Hesheng always carries him to school, and is a very kind old man in his memory.
He Sheng is a native of Danyang, Jiangsu, whose family runs a small tofu shop, and his parents kiss a beautiful girl from a neighbor for him. After saving up for a few years, he was about to marry him, but he was framed as a thief by a rich family, sent to prison, and locked up for more than two years before being released. Both his father and mother were angry, and his fiancée married the rich young master to be a stepmother. One day, he and Sheng bumped into the rich young master on the street, took out the sharp knife that had been hidden by his side, and stabbed the rich young master seriously. And life does not escape. It just so happened that Jin Yong's grandfather, Cha Wenqing, was doing Danyang Zhi County, retried every prisoner in prison, and learned of Hesheng's grievances, and was very sympathetic, but his assassination was indeed a fact, and it was inconvenient to let it go. When Cha Wenqing resigned from the government, he quietly brought Hesheng home. Hesheng is certainly not a real name.
"Lian Cheng Ti" tells the story of a peasant boy named Di Yun who was framed and imprisoned, his fiancée was married, and he met a hero with high martial arts in prison, learned the world's martial arts, and avenged the snow after escaping from prison. Di Yun, like Monte Cristo, did not go on a killing spree, but watched his enemies suffer retribution one by one.
After the writing of "The Secret of the City", Jin Yong "realized" that many of the fragments were too close to Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo", "inevitably suspected of plagiarism". Although it was not deliberately copied, it was inadvertently influenced by Dumas. "But the whole book has been written, and it is not difficult to make major revisions, not to mention that (I wrote) has its own style, and it is a pity to abandon this plot."
In 2012, the famous director Liu Yunlong made a Chinese version of "The Count of Monte Cristo", named "The King of Legends", he said: "The King of Legends is a tribute to the Count of Monte Cristo". The producer also said: "'The King of Legends' can be said to be a Chinese version of 'The Count's Revenge', hoping that the audience can see Chinese love and hate in the play and learn to be tolerant."
