Chapter 314 The Martial Arts Writer in Xiangjiang
The place where Ni Kuang entertained guests was a hotel in Causeway Bay. Fang Minghua followed him up to the second floor in the evening, and there was already a woman in a skirt sitting inside.
"Sister Yishu!" Fang Minghua greeted with a smile.
The visitor is none other than Ni Kuang's sister, Yi Shu, whose real name is Ni Yishu. The two participated in the "International Writing Program" at the University of Iowa in the United States last year and stayed for three months, so they got to know each other quite well.
Yishu stood up with a smile on his face: "Minghua, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. This time I heard my brother said he wanted to invite people from the Mainland Writers Association, so let him do his best to invite you."
"Thank you. Sister Yi Shu, this time we established the Xiangjiang Writers Association, why are you not among the members?" Fang Minghua was a little surprised.
The two are brothers and sisters, and Yi Shu is also a well-known writer in Hong Kong. Otherwise, how could he be invited to participate in the international writing program.
Unexpectedly, Yi Shu glanced at his brother: "I think the writers' association they set up is just a bunch of people making nonsense!"
Ni Kuang was a little helpless, but he had always taken this as his own since he was a child. My sister had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
The three of them sat down and Yi Shu asked again: "Minghua, did you enjoy talking about science fiction with my brother? He admires you most for writing science fiction novels."
"No, we are not talking about science fiction, we are talking about martial arts!" Ni Kuang took over: "Minghua is very familiar with Xiangjiang's martial arts novels, and we were very interested in talking about it. He has also read "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" written by me. .”
Ni Kuang was very proud.
In Xiangjiang, not many people read science fiction novels, but martial arts novels are very popular.
Yishu was surprised when he heard this, "Minghua, do you also like to read martial arts novels?"
"Haha, I guess most Chinese people, especially Chinese men, like to read martial arts novels. ”
"Yes, yes, the swords and swords are shining, the world is full of pleasure, and the people watching are very happy."
The three of them were chatting, and two more men came up, an old man in his sixties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, very Elegant. A man in his early thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, looked delicate.
"Mr. Cha"
"Ruian."
Ni Kuang and Yi Shu stood up and greeted.
It turned out that Jin Yong and Wen Ruian were here.
Fang Minghua also stood up. Jin Yong and Ni Kuang were old acquaintances. He looked at Fang Minghua, smiled and shook hands: "Mr. Fang, I finally see you."
"You Mr. Haocha."
"Mr. Fang and I have been friends for a long time. The book "Wukong Biography" he wrote was published by our "Ming Pao" publishing house and sold very well." After Jin Yong sat down, he gave it to Ni Kuang. The brother and sister introduced: "I have always wanted to meet Mr. Fang, and today I finally got my wish."
Fang Minghua knew that there was some politeness in what Jin Yong said, but to be honest, he and Jin Yong had no friendship at all.
Of course he would say polite words. Fang Minghua smiled and said that I have admired Mr. Cha for a long time and I like the martial arts novels you wrote very much.
"Mr. Cha, I have basically read all fourteen novels written by you." Fang Minghua said.
"Oh, really?"
"Minghua didn't lie to you. He has even read "The Six-Finger Piano Demon" written by me." Ni Kuang interjected.
"Yes, I have also read the novels written by Mr. Wen, the Four Famous Shops series. Yesterday I went to the bookstore and saw your "White Clothes Fang Zhenmei" serialized in a magazine." Fang Minghua sat across from him again. Wen Ruian, who was a little silent on the side, said.
Apart from Jin Yong and Gu Long, the martial arts novel writers whom Fang Minghua admires the most is Wen Ruian.
Wen Ruian is in his early thirties this year and can only be regarded as a junior in front of Jin Yong and Ni Kuang, but he is already a powerful figure in the Hong Kong martial arts novel world.
Now that Gu Long has passed away, Jin Yong has closed the book, and Wen Ruian has raised the banner of Xiangjiang martial arts novels in time.
"My novel is serialized in "Martial Arts and History" under Mr. Cha's "Ming Pao"." Wen Ruian introduced.
A few people were chatting, and the dishes had been served, but Ni Kuang didn't mean to use his chopsticks. There were four people in total, but there was still one empty seat.
I wonder who Ni Kuang invited? Liang Yusheng?
It seems to be in Taiwan, right?
Huang Yi?
It seems you haven’t started writing martial arts novels yet, right?
His "Shattered Void" and the like should have been in the late 1980s.
Cologne?
Bahba has passed away.
Fang Minghua doesn’t know which other martial arts novel writer in Xiangjiang can catch the eye of Ni Kuang and Jin Yong.
At this moment, the private room door opened, and a young man with a side-parted hair hurried in.
"Sorry, there's a traffic jam outside." The visitor apologized repeatedly.
Fang Minghua took a look and saw that he was very young, not much older than himself and younger than Wen Ruian.
Who is it?
Fang Minghua really can’t remember such a person in the Hong Kong martial arts novel world.
"Huang Ying, you are late, you will have to drink three drinks as a penalty." Ni Kuang said with a smile.
"Accept punishment, accept punishment."
After the young man sat down, Ni Kuang introduced: "This is Mr. Fang Minghua from mainland China. He is not only engaged in serious literary writing, but also in science fiction novels. He also has the book "Wukong" "The Biography" was written by him."
"This is Huang Ying, our little brother, who also writes martial arts novels. He is very talented."
Huang Ying actually worked with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Wen Ruian and the others are quite familiar with each other.
Fang Minghua was surprised. He had always thought that Huang Ying was just a porcelain hero, just like so many Jin Yong, new ancient dragon giants and the like in the mainland. He did not expect that Huang Ying was a serious martial arts writer.
I don’t know what novel Huang Ying wrote?
It’s hard for Fang Minghua to ask directly now.
When everyone arrived, the banquet started. Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic of conversation was naturally about martial arts.
Jin Yong is older and talks less. He only drinks tea but not alcohol. Wen Ruian is not very talkative, but he has a good drinker. Yi Shu is a woman and is not interested in martial arts novels.
Ni Kuang and Huang Ying were the talkers, especially Ni Kuang, who drank a lot and talked a lot, and frequently clinked glasses with Fang Minghua.
Fang Minghua is not afraid of drinking. As long as Jia Pingwa is not present, he will be satisfied. Plus Huang Ying and Wen Ruian, the four of them drink happily.
After drinking too much, they became intimate with each other. Fang Minghua took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Huang, forgive my ignorance, how many martial arts novels have you written?"
Huang Ying No words, Ni Kuangna Fang Minghua interrupted with a glass of wine: "Minghua, you don't know this? "The Transformation of the Silkworm", "Hero Shen Shengyi" and "The Magic Sword" are all Huang Ying's masterpieces!"
"Huh?" Fang Minghua He was surprised and said to Huang Ying. "Did you write "Hero Shen Shengyi"? I thought it was written by Gu Long, I'm sorry."
Unexpectedly, Huang Ying's face changed color.
This is a pet peeve of his.
Huang Ying did serve as a gunman in his early years.
Gu Long's "Blood Parrot" and "Vampire Moth" were ghostwritten by him, to the point where they look fake and real. "Vampire Moth" is better than being adapted into the movie "Butterfly" by Tsui Hark.
After becoming famous, he naturally did not want to be a gunman, so he created the "Hero Shen Shengyi" series under Huang Ying's name. Since the style is similar to Gu Long, many people thought it was written by Gu Long.
Especially the pirated books that were spread to the mainland were simply changed to Gu Long’s name.
Huang Ying was most taboo about others saying this. Now that Fang Minghua suddenly mentioned it again, he felt a little unhappy.
"Mr. Fang, although I have been a gunman for Gu Long, I am still newer than your Jin Yong from the mainland. Gu Long can write well, right?"
