Back to 80: My Literary Life

Zeng Huiyan?

Was he the one who wrote the news about Huang Ying?

This female reporter is really amazing, she is so pervasive.

Fang Minghua sighed inwardly, but still replied politely: "Ms. Zeng, if you ask me about the official establishment of the Hong Kong Writers Association this time, I will be happy to chat with you. If you ask about anything else, there is nothing you can do." inform."

Of course Zeng Huiyan didn't come here for this matter, otherwise he would interview Feng Mu directly. Seeing that he had hit a soft nail, Zeng Huiyan did not give up. She looked at Fang Minghua: "Okay, Mr. Fang, please talk about this time as a writer in Xiangjiang The fraternity is officially established.”

"This is a very happy thing." Fang Minghua cleared his throat and replied: "The establishment of the association is conducive to exchanges with the mainland literary circles and promotes the development of Hong Kong's literary career."

"Mr. Fang, I remember that three months ago, you represented the Chinese Writers' Association and participated in the Hong Kong Writers' Association established by Mr. Ni Kuang. What did you think when you met some Hong Kong martial arts writers?"

"Martial arts novels are also part of Hong Kong's literary works. I admire the excellent works created by Hong Kong martial arts writers."

"Including Mr. Huang Ying?"

Ah?

It took me a long time to get around here.

"I also like the martial arts works created by Mr. Huang Ying, including "The Transformation of the Silkworm" and "The Hero Shen Shengyi"."

"So." Zeng Huiyan said as she picked up the newspaper on the table with a smile on her face: "I think, Mr. Fang, you also read this news. What do you think about it? Mr. Huang challenges you again."

Damn it!

This woman is simply afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

Fang Minghua complained in his heart, but said: "The bet between Mr. Huang and I was just a joke made by a friend after drinking. Don't take it seriously. I just said that Mr. Huang is an excellent martial arts novelist. I sincerely hope that he can create Produce better martial arts works."

"Then do you accept his challenge?"

Zeng Huiyan pressed forward step by step.

Damn you, you are not forcing me, you are forcing Huang Ying.

Fang Minghua cursed secretly in his mind.

But it’s okay, let Huang Ying give up on this idea, and still write martial arts novels honestly, and don’t make any zombie movies.

Thinking of this, Fang Minghua said lightly: "I can try."

Zeng Huiyan left very satisfied. She got another piece of news today and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

The topic has been decided: "Huang Ying once again challenged Fang Minghua, and Fang Minghua accepted it happily."

After Zeng Huiyan left, Fang Minghua and Wang Anyi also left the hotel and took a walk along Victoria Harbor.

It doesn't feel cold in Xiangjiang in October, and the evening breeze feels very comfortable on my face.

"Minghua, won't you write serious novels?" Wang Anyi suddenly asked.

"Write it, I just want to finish dealing with this mess in Xiangjiang." Fang Minghua felt helpless.

Wang Anyi naturally understood what he meant and pursed her lips and smiled: "You men like to be competitive."

"It's really not true." Fang Minghua shook his head: "Huang Ying is a bit crazy, but he still has real talent and learning, especially in the creation of martial arts novels. I hope I won't deal with all those messy things and concentrate on writing martial arts. It may be really difficult. Can become the second ancient dragon."

The next day, Hong Kong's "China News" published an interview with Fang Minghua on the headline of the entertainment section, once again igniting the attention of the melon-eating public.

However, Fang Minghua refused to be interviewed by any reporters and concentrated on convening the meeting. As soon as the meeting was completed the next afternoon, someone came to visit him.

This time it was Luo Bin and Yi Shu, the bosses of "Martial Arts World" magazine, and another middle-aged man in his fifties named Zheng Zheng, the editor-in-chief of "Martial Arts World".

"Mr. Fang, I know that you have been in meetings in the past two days, so I don't want to disturb you. I heard that your meeting has ended. I have booked a private room at Fulinmen. I ask Mr. Fang to take advantage of it. There are some things that I need to discuss with you."

Fang Minghua could refuse someone else's treat, but Luo Bin agreed because they still had a cooperative relationship.

Fook Lam Moon is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. The Cantonese cuisine here is the best in Hong Kong and it is also a favorite among Hong Kong rich people. It is said that almost every rich man from Hong Kong and Macau has eaten at Fook Lam Moon since its opening, including Li Ka-shing, Robert Kuok, Stanley Ho, and the founder of Hang Seng Bank, Tim Ho. , Wu Yisun, founder of Wing Lung Bank, etc.

Of course Liu Luanxiong is also indispensable.

When I came to Hong Kong, I heard rumors that Liu Luanxiong had a royal box at Fulinmen. Every time Liu Luanxiong went to Fulinmen for dinner, there were a large number of bodyguards protecting him outside. It really felt like the boss in a Hong Kong movie.

The consumption price is also high, with a meal costing hundreds of thousands.

Luo Bin really spent a lot of money on the treat this time.

The main store of Fulinmen is a "time-honored" brand and is not very conspicuous. The big sign hanging outside even looks like a retro nightclub. Although it is a high-end restaurant and the waiters are smartly dressed, the service is still casual like a neighborhood restaurant, but it does look like a businessman.

After the food was served, Luo Bin still opened a bottle of Remy Martin. Everyone chatted while eating, naturally about the novel. Luo Bin hoped to hand over the publication of the single volume of "Swordsman in the Snow" to his company Universal in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Publisher and gave a 14% royalty.

Fang Minghua readily agreed to this.

"Mr. Fang, I read yesterday's newspaper and accepted Huang Ying's challenge? It said you wanted to write horror and supernatural novels?" Luo Bin asked.

"You reporters in Xiangjiang are really good." Fang Minghua looked helpless and briefly recounted the interview he had with Zeng Huiyan the day before yesterday.

The man next to him Zheng Zheng laughed when he heard this. Interjected, "Mr. Fang, you don't know something. Zeng Huiyan is a famous reporter in Hong Kong. Many people are afraid of her. But this Huang Ying is too arrogant. She thinks she is great just because she wrote the script of "Mr. Zombie". I believe you, Mr. Fang." The horror novel he writes will still defeat it and dampen his spirit!”

Fang Minghua smiled slightly and said nothing.

Luo Bin doesn't care about this. What he cares about is that if Fang Minghua really writes a horror novel, can his magazine publish it?

I heard that Fang Minghua was going to write a short story and he immediately gave

And the price was as high as three Hong Kong dollars per word!

Fang Minghua didn't refuse and readily agreed.

After eating, everyone sent Fang Minghua back to the Peninsula Hotel, and then left in their own cars, but Fang Minghua stopped Yi Shu.

"Sister Yishu, please wait a moment, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's up?"

"Are you familiar with Huang Ying?"

Yi Shu didn't expect him to ask this question, and was stunned for a moment: "We can only be considered acquaintances, but my second brother has a good relationship with him. What's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

"Actually, I don't want to get into this kind of trouble with him." Fang Minghua said what was in his heart: "Huang Ying is also a very talented person, especially in the creation of martial arts novels. I still hope that he will continue to write martial arts novels, and It’s not like those random zombie movies – one Mr. Zombie is enough.”

"Really? He may not necessarily listen to you. He probably hates you now." Yi Shu said with a smile.

"I know that I just write martial arts on a whim, and I may not write again in the future. It is a pity that the Hong Kong martial arts novel world has lost a talent like Huang Ying. Also, you can write zombie movie scripts, but don't take the risk yourself. Then invest in making movies!”

Fang Minghua said very solemnly. Although Yi Shu was a little surprised, he still nodded.

"Don't worry, I will tell him what you mean in a suitable way."

"Okay then, bye!"

"goodbye!"

Yi Shu hurried away in his car, and Fang Minghua sighed slightly.

Just do your best to obey fate.
