Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 761: This is too unkind

When Fang Minghua heard the knock on the door and opened it to see it was him, he was a little surprised.

Feng Xiaogang held a briefcase in his armpits and smiled: "Chairman Fang, congratulations."

"Director Feng, what are you congratulating me for?"

"The selection of the 3rd World Chinese Literature Award has come to a successful conclusion. Its influence is growing both domestically and internationally, even surpassing the Mao Dun Prize. This is all thanks to you, Chairman Fang."

This is a fart shot.
However, one should not hit a smiling person, and they had met each other several times and had drinks together, so Fang Minghua let him in and poured him a cup of tea.

The two sat on the sofa, and Feng Xiaogang began to praise the award-winning judges for their keen eyes and how excellent these five works were.
Seeing the other party like this, Fang Minghua couldn't help but interrupt him: "Director Feng, which work have you seen?"

"This..." Feng Xiaogang looked a little embarrassed, and after a while he said, "I'm reading No One with Me by Nadine Gordimer."

Only ghosts believe you!

The biggest writing technique of this book "No One Accompanies Me" is free association, which is a common form of expression in stream of consciousness techniques. It is a bit difficult to read. Would you read such a novel? !
However, Fang Minghua did not expose him on the spot. She just smiled and changed the subject: "Director Feng, you came to see me tonight not just to talk to me about the awards ceremony, right?"

"Chairman Fang, there is indeed something else." Feng Xiaogang said, "You met Wang Shuo in Los Angeles when you went abroad, right?"

"Yes, he called you?"

"Yes, he was talking about the script, and said that Shengshi Film and Television would invest in the filming. I brought the script today." After saying that, he took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase and handed them to Fang Minghua.

He was stunned when he saw the title of the script.

"Sweet Dreams for You"?
Why isn't it "Party A and Party B"? !

What the hell!

However, after reading a few pages of the script carefully, I was relieved. It was the Lunar New Year film "Party A and Party B"!
"Director Feng, I have a suggestion." Fang Minghua glanced through the script and looked up at him.

"Chairman Fang, if you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them!"

"I think you should change the title of your script. You and this name don't have any uniqueness. How about changing it to "Party A and Party B"? Your script is all about signing a contract to realize a dream, so there must be two parties: Party A and Party B."

Feng Xiaogang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately gave a thumbs up: "Chairman Fang, you are indeed a great writer, the best screenwriter in the country, well done, well done!"

Fang Minghua felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing this?

"That's it, Director Feng. I'll take the script back and let my wife take a look at it. She'll have someone contact you about the specific investment and filming details. How do you think that is?" Fang Minghua said finally.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for news from Mr. Song." Feng Xiaogang said hurriedly.

After the matter was said, Fang Minghua thought Feng Xiaogang would leave, but he did not leave but looked at Fang Minghua: "Chairman Fang, I have something else to discuss with you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"This script was written in collaboration between Wang Shuo and I. Can you please not use Wang Shuo's name when signing the film in the future? And don't write that it is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel," said Feng Xiaogang.

"why?"

"Look at the current situation in China. The criticism of Wang Shuo in the literary and art circles has become more and more severe, forcing him to go abroad to avoid the limelight. If this movie has Wang Shuo's name on it, I am worried that it will not pass the review and cannot be released. What should I do?" "Chairman Fang, I have no opinion on Wang Shuo. Everything I do is for the sake of this movie."

Feng Xiaogang spoke with great sincerity at the end.

Fang Minghua smiled and replied, "Director Feng, you have a point, but isn't this unfair to Wang Shuo?"

"Alas, in order for the film to start shooting and be released smoothly, we have to put him in trouble temporarily." Feng Xiaogang said with a sigh.

This is crazy
After all, they supported you back then!

Fang Minghua remained calm and just said, "Let's put Wang Shuo's name on it. As for the problem you are worried about, Shengshi Film and Television will take care of it."

"Yes, yes." Feng Xiaogang immediately changed his tone: "Shengshi Film and Television is now the most famous film and television company in China. Plus, with your chairman in charge, these are not a problem! I was worrying too much, too much."

"Well, Director Feng, let's talk about this. It's getting late. I want to rest early as I have to rush back to Xijing tomorrow." Fang Minghua said.

"Okay, okay, then I won't disturb your rest." Feng Xiaogang stood up immediately.

Fang Minghua walked him to the door, but he stopped her: "Chairman Fang, please stay, please stay."

Looking at Feng Xiaogang's receding back, Fang Minghua shook his head and closed the door.

Early the next morning, Fang Minghua flew back to Xijing alone. He was eager to return home.

Song Tangtang did not come back at noon, and the whole family did not have a reunion meal until the evening. For this purpose, the nanny Xiaoqin cooked two more dishes, which were Fang Minghua's favorite twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu.

At night, after the children went back to their rooms to sleep, Fang Minghua and his wife also went to bed early. The couple hadn't been together for a long time, so naturally they were very passionate and could get excited at any time.

After the passion, the two hugged each other and talked about what had happened recently.

Fang Minghua had already told Song Tangtang about the situation in Los Angeles over the phone. Song Tangtang was a little curious about this woman named Liu Xiaoli, and said that he wanted to meet her when he went to the United States.

"Minghua, you said this little girl named Xixi is very beautiful, so is her mother Liu Xiaoli also very beautiful?"

Fang Minghua didn't expect Song Tangtang to ask this question suddenly, so she said casually: "Yes, it's very beautiful."

"How beautiful is it? Does your heart flutter when you see it?"

Ok?
Fang Minghua looked at Song Tangtang in his arms and smiled, "What are you thinking about? I just said Liu Xiaoli is pretty, nothing else. Besides, I am very satisfied with you and Lili, how dare I think about others?"

"That's good to know, but men are just like that. Humph! I told Lili to squeeze you dry in America, and I'll squeeze you dry in China so that you can't find another woman!"

Oh my God
Fang Minghua was both amused and confused when she heard this.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let me tell you about what happened in Yanjing. Feng Xiaogang came to see me." Fang Minghua changed the subject and recounted in detail how Feng Xiaogang came to see him last night.

Song Tangtang listened carefully. When she heard that Feng Xiaogang did not allow Wang Shuo's name to be written on the film, she could not help but say, "It's so unkind of him to do this! If it were me, as an investor, what I said might make sense, but you are at least Wang Shuo's friend, right? How dare you say that?!"

"Besides, Minghua, I'm also worried about Feng Xiaogang's own problems!"
