Chapter 318 Sure enough, they are just a grassroots team
Furthermore, Fang Minghua and others returned to Pengcheng. He said goodbye to everyone. The other four people all wanted to fly back to Yanjing, and only Fang Minghua returned to Xijing.
But he was in no hurry to leave. He came to Pengcheng and wanted to meet Song Tangtang's aunt, which was what his wife had told him before leaving.
First I found a public phone booth and called Song Tangtang's aunt's work, and then I called straight to the city center.
Sitting in the taxi, Fang Minghua looked at the scene outside. Pengcheng is now a huge construction site, with buildings rising from the ground. The slogans "Time is money, efficiency is life" can be seen everywhere. .
Fang Minghua found Aunt Song Tangtang's residence on Fuzhong 3rd Road, not far from the city hall.
Song Tangtang’s aunt is named Zhou Yunli. When Fang Minghua arrived, Zhou Yunli was already waiting at home.
The house is quite big, with three bedrooms and one living room, and is equipped with a TV, air conditioner, and refrigerator. This is considered a very wealthy family in Pengcheng.
"Minghua, are you thirsty? I'll cut a watermelon for you." Zhou Yunli took out half a watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it into the kitchen, and brought it out on a plate.
Fang Minghua was not polite, took out a piece and ate it.
It's really refreshing to eat a piece of iced watermelon on a hot day.
Zhou Yunli sat aside and asked with concern: "Minghua, I heard from Tangtang that you are representing the National Writers Association to attend the founding ceremony of some Writers Association in Xiangjiang?"
"Yes. "Fang Minghua briefly told what happened and what he saw when he went to Xiangjiang. He temporarily concealed the fact that he and Luo Bin had signed a contract to write a martial arts novel.
After hearing this, Zhou Yunli laughed and said: "Hey, if I had known that those people had set up some writers' association, I would have advised you not to go. You have been fooled!"
"Fooled?" Fang Minghua said. Startled.
"Yes, you also know that it is just a joke of the people in Xiangjiang who write popular novels. There are no real writers in Xiangjiang, right? This is what they are planning to establish. I will give you the information and you can take a look."
< br>After speaking, Zhou Yunli took out a piece of information from the bedroom and handed it to Fang Minghua.
"Instructions on the preparations for the "Hong Kong Writers Association"
What is this?
The information is very long, and the general idea is that in order to enhance the friendship between Hong Kong writers and promote literary exchanges at home and abroad, help members exchange writing experiences, protect the legitimate rights and interests of writers, promote the development of Hong Kong literature, and promote culture with the mainland and at home and abroad Communicate and prepare for this sorority.
The purpose is similar to that of the Hong Kong Writers Association, but after Fang Minghua saw the list of members, he felt that what Zhou Yunli said made sense.
Founding President: Zeng Minzhi
Honorary President Liu Yichang
President: Pan Yaoming
Executive President: Tao Ran, Vice President ：Zhang Shijian, Luo Lang, Zhou Mimi, and Cai Yihuai serve as vice presidents
There is also a brief introduction of each person at the back:
Zeng Minzhi: Xiangjiang poet, writer, deputy editor-in-chief of Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po", author of the collection of essays "Collected Essays of Zeng Minzhi", the collection of essays "Looking at the Sea of Clouds", "Poetry" "Art", "Examples of Appreciating Classical Literature", etc.
Liu Yichang is a famous writer and the editor-in-chief of the monthly "Hong Kong Literature". His representative works include "The Drunkard", "The Counter" and "Inside the Temple".
Poon Yaoming: Writer, deputy editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Sanlian Bookstore, his representative works include "Travel to China's Scenic Spots" and "Maple Birch Collection"
Check it out! These are the serious members of the Writers Association.
Ni Kuang and the others were indeed a grassroots team, and even Jin Yong looked down upon them and did not participate.
Zhou Yunli said that this was a notice received by the Pengcheng Cultural Bureau from Xiangjiang some time ago. Nowadays, the connection between Xiangjiang and the mainland is getting closer. Many aspects of economy, commerce, and culture are communicated with each other through Pengcheng.
"Minghua, I guess, Ni Kuang and the others heard that they were going to set up an organization similar to the Mainland Writers Association, so they established it first and even sent you an invitation letter directly. What a bastard." At the end of the sentence, Zhou Yunli laughed. . Think about it, it is indeed the case.
This Ni Kuang is so cunning that he even deceived the Chinese Writers Association!
"However, you don't need to pay too much attention. We have already reported this matter to the provincial council and will report it to the country. There are many associations in Xiangjiang. They are all non-governmental organizations anyway. It doesn't matter how many they are established. Maybe, this Xiangjiang writer When the fraternity is established in the future, I will also invite you to send people from the Writers Association to congratulate you.”
“You can send whoever the Writers Association wants to send, but I won’t be coming anyway,” Fang Minghua said with a smile.
There is always a feeling of being cheated.
Fang Minghua stayed in Pengcheng for one night. Although the next day was Saturday, he still declined the invitation from Zhou Yunli’s family to take him to Pengcheng. He took a flight back to Xijing in the morning. His wife was pregnant and she was alone. Fang Minghua was worried at home.
Fang Minghua returned to his home in Xingfu Community outside Nanmenwai with his travel bag. There was no one at home. Song Tangtang probably went back to live with her parents.
Turning on the air conditioner, he prepared to take a shower and then went over to take a look. Just after taking a shower and changing into a T-shirt and shorts, he heard the sound of the door opening outside, and Song Tangtang walked in in a hurry.
“Didn’t you go back to your mother’s place? I’m going to visit you later.”
“It’s better to stay at my mother’s house. You said you were taking a flight today. I'll go home when I get back," Song Tangtang said in a coquettish tone.
“Let me see, is your belly bigger?” After Fang Minghua finished speaking, he looked at his wife’s abdomen.
Song Tangtang rolled her eyes at him: "It's still early. It's only been more than three months. The doctor said it will take four to five months at the earliest to show the belly."
"Are you going to take a pregnancy test soon?"
"I remember the time."
Song Tangtang went back to the bedroom to put on her nightgown, and peeled an apple for Fang Minghua. Fang Minghua told him the details of what happened in Xiangjiang. Tell your wife.
I couldn’t help but feel funny when I heard that the Xiangjiang Writers Association was established in such a crude way, just a grass-roots team. But I was surprised to hear that Fang Minghua wanted to write about martial arts.
"Minghua, do you really want to write a martial arts novel?"
"Of course, we in the mainland can't always be Jin Yongxin and Gu Longju, right?" Fang Minghua joked.
“But.”
“But what?”
“To be honest, Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels, especially Jin Yong’s works, are very classic, like a big mountain , it is not easy to surpass him. What is even more frightening is that the writing model of martial arts novels he established is not written by other martial arts writers except Gu Long. No matter whether martial arts novels are good or bad, they have not jumped out of their nests. It is difficult to surpass them."
Fang Minghua smiled slightly after hearing this: "You are right, so I have to find another way, except in the story. In addition to working hard on the structure and character creation, it is more important to create a martial arts world and force system that are not different from Jin Yong’s.”
"What is a force system?" Song Tangtang felt fresh after hearing this.
It is the division of the character's force value: the realm of the characters in the book is divided into nine levels (from small to large, ninth level to first level), and one level is divided into four realms: Vajra Realm, Zhixuan Realm, Celestial Realm, and Land Immortal . The Vajra realm is a metaphor for Buddhism, the Xuan realm is a metaphor for Taoism, and the celestial realm is a metaphor for Confucianism. The gods on land say that the three families reach the same destination by different paths."
Fang Minghua talked eloquently, and Song Tangtang was dumbfounded when he heard it.
