Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 326 325 They challenge you again
Now that he is in a bad mood, he can ignore other reporters, but he cannot ignore this reporter.

Despite his youth, he has won three awards: "Best Journalist in Hong Kong", "Best Feature Writer", and "Best General News Writing". He was selected as one of "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Hong Kong" and "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in the World". "You can't afford to be offended by such an honor.

"Mr. Huang, how do you feel about "Mr. Zombie" only winning one award?" Zeng Huiyan went straight to the topic.

"Damn you!" Huang Ying cursed in his heart after hearing this: "Go and ask the producer and director. I'm just one of the screenwriters, why are you asking me?"

But he still had a gentlemanly smile on his face: "This shows that although this movie is a hit, it still has many shortcomings and flaws. As one of the screenwriters, I will work harder to write better scripts in the future."

"So, are you planning to specialize in film and television creation?"

"There is such a plan."

"No more writing martial arts novels?"

"Stop writing for now."

"You know, many writers, including Mr. Cha, are very optimistic about you, and readers also think that you are the successor of the deceased Gu Long. Now you suddenly stopped writing. Is it related to the mainland writer named Fang Minghua not long ago?"

The next day, the Central Daily News published an exclusive news item in the entertainment section with a very eye-catching title: "How can you be bright when you are already good?" ——Remembering the grievances between Xiangjiang writer Huang Ying and mainland writer Fang Minghua"

When Luo Bin introduced Fang Minghua, whose pen name is Fenghuo, to reporters a few days ago, he just said that he was an emerging writer from the Mainland and the winner of the Mao Dun Literary Award from the Mainland. Not long ago, the Hong Kong Writers Association was established and he was invited to come to Hong Kong. After being introduced to him by his friends, they got together. Cooperation and no mention of betting.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it will be revealed secretly.

"I heard that Fang Minghua came to Xiangjiang again. Are you issuing a challenge to him?" Zeng Huiyan's face was calm, but her tone was chasing after him.

Huang Ying couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Zeng Huiyan: "I admit that I lost, but I can write scripts and supernatural horror novels, can he?!"

"OK, Mr. Huang, thank you for accepting my interview. Goodbye!" After Zeng Huiyan said that, she turned and left, leaving Huang Ying blankly staring at the other person's retreating back.

"Oh, Mr. Huang, as far as I know, Fang Minghua is also an excellent screenwriter in the Mainland. Of course, he has never written a supernatural horror novel."

Zeng Huiyan talked about her experience that night vividly, as if she was there at the time.

"Really? According to reliable information, just three months ago, Minghua went to Hong Kong to attend the ceremony of the Hong Kong Writers Association as one of the specially invited representatives from the mainland. Afterwards, Ni Kuang invited Fang Minghua to have a drink with several Hong Kong writers, including Mr. Cha and you. Then I made a bet with Fang Minghua."

"Really? Then let him write a book for me to read!"

Huang Ying was stunned.

How could the drunken conversation between him and Fang Minghua be known to the eighth-grandmother in front of him? !
Although Luo Bin, the boss of "Martial Arts and History"'s old rival "Martial Arts Century", snatched the novel written by Fang Minghua and serialized it in his own magazine, only a few parties involved knew about it.

After hearing this, Huang Ying's expression changed drastically.

what?
Fang Minghua came to Xiangjiang again?

"I" Huang Ying said fiercely: "This is a challenge! Let him read a horror novel and let me read it, and I will accept it!"

"Ms. Zeng, you are wrong. My temporary suspension of writing has nothing to do with that Fang Minghua. I am just suddenly interested in the screenwriter."

Huang Ying was filled with hatred, but he tried to show composure on his face.

"enough!"

"As far as I know, this time Fang Minghua participated in the founding ceremony of the Hong Kong Writers Association as one of the representatives of the Mainland Writers Association. He is currently staying at the Peninsula Hotel not far from here."

The article introduced in detail the process of their acquaintance and bet, and finally talked about the interview with Huang Ying yesterday. The sentence "Ask him to write a horror novel for me to read, and I will accept it!" became the most prominent sentence of the article. talk.

What a big gossip
I didn't expect that the author of the recently popular "Swordsman in the Snow" would have this history!
Fang Minghua learned the news after dinner.

During the day, in the conference room on the sixth floor of the headquarters of Sanlian Bookstore on Anlu Street, Ma'anshan, Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Writers Association was officially established. Writers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered together to witness this moment. This ceremony was much more formal and grand than the last establishment of the Hong Kong Writers' Association organized by Ni Kuang. In addition to inviting celebrities from the cultural circles of Hong Kong, the Xinhua Branch and the then government also sent people to attend.

The ceremony and meetings lasted for a whole day. There was a ceremony in the morning, a dinner party at noon, and a literary symposium between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places in the afternoon. It was busy until dinner time in the evening.

After returning to the hotel for dinner and continuing the discussion tomorrow, Fang Minghua was going to go out for a walk and wanted to invite Wang Anyi. Among the writers in Xiangjiang, he was relatively familiar with Wang Anyi.

But he didn't expect that he didn't go to Wang Anyi, but the other party knocked on the door and entered his room, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Minghua, you are really a famous person. You were in the newspapers the day after you arrived in Xiangjiang." Wang Anyi said with a smile.

Fang Minghua thought he was talking about the ceremony this morning, so he replied: "In the newspaper? That should be Chairman Feng, right? He gave a speech on behalf of our Writers Association."

"That's not what I'm talking about. It's about the bet between you and Huang Ying! He has challenged you again." Wang Anyi handed him the newspaper with a smile.

Fang Minghua took it over and took a look, and sure enough he saw the interview report written by reporter Zeng Huiyan.

He froze suddenly.

This Huang Ying is actually one of the screenwriters of "Mr. Zombie"?

Ready to go full-on film writing?

Fang Minghua finally remembered the whole story of Huang Ying in history.

He will die in a few years, and he will die miserably.

"Mr. Zombie" became a hit, so he devoted himself to writing scripts for zombie movies.

However, Huang Ying's ambitions go far beyond scripting and writing novels. Now that zombie movies are on the rise, and Huang Ying is a gold medal zombie screenwriter, it is logical that he can write and direct well. In the early 90s, he actually borrowed a loan shark to make a movie. As a result, he was seriously injured by a debt collector, and he died tragically at home until a week later. The body was discovered after it stank.

This public case was not exposed until the late 90s.

Isn't it too miserable?

"Minghua, what's wrong with you?" Wang Anyi asked with concern when she saw Fang Minghua's expression was different.

"No, it's nothing." Fang Minghua woke up and said

"Will you accept the challenge?" Wang Anyi asked in a joking tone.

"It's boring. These are just unscrupulous reporters who are provoking and creating news. Don't pay attention to it."

This time I came, it was better to attend the conference with the delegation and have a good exchange with Taiwanese writers in Hong Kong.

It's best not to touch these gossipy things.

Fang Minghua threw the newspaper aside and said to Wang Anyi: "Sister Anyi, the scenery of Victoria Harbor is beautiful at night. I visited it last time. Can I take you for a walk?"

"Okay."

Wang Anyi agreed, and the two of them were about to go out when they heard a knock on the door.

Fang Minghua opened it and saw a young woman standing outside.

"Hello, I am Zeng Huiyan, a reporter from Xiangjiang's China Newspaper. I would like to interview you with a few questions, is that okay?"
