Chapter 560: Die 38, if you don’t do these eye-catching things, will you die? !
Fang Minghua initially thought that Zeng Huiyan was just a gossip entertainment reporter. Later, after asking around, she found out that she was quite famous in Hong Kong.
Won the "Best Journalist in Hong Kong", "Best Feature Writer" and "Best General News Writing" three awards, and was elected as "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Hong Kong" and "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in the World" "Wait for the honor!
"Miss Zeng, yes, but you can wait until I finish signing." After Fang Minghua finished speaking, he ignored her and took the signature handed over by a young man with a smile.
Zeng Huiyan didn’t say anything, just stood aside and waited quietly.
Fang Minghua signed the book for the last reader, and then said to Zeng Huiyan: "Ms. Zeng, what do you want to know?"
Fang Minghua thought he would ask Guo Aiming, who was reported on the TV news last night, to buy the book for him I signed autographs and took a group photo to commemorate this "gossip". Unexpectedly, the other party did not ask this, but asked:
"Mr. Minghua, I read the mainland news that you are currently organizing a project called the World Chinese Literature Award Award?”
Oops
That’s what I asked!
Fang Minghua suddenly became interested.
When I came to Xiangjiang, I planned to find an opportunity to be interviewed by reporters to publicize and report on this matter. I didn’t expect someone to take the initiative to ask this.
“Yes, Ms. Zeng, since you have paid attention to this news, you must also understand the purpose and significance of this literary award. It is to promote Chinese literature and Chinese-language writing across the Taiwan Straits, three places, and even around the world. Communication"
Fang Minghua was just about to introduce the situation of the literary award, but was interrupted by Zeng Huiyan.
"Mr. Minghua, do you think you can succeed?"
"Why can't it succeed?!"
"The Mainland Lu Xun Literary Award was established in 1986, but it is still in its infancy. It is still unclear when it will really start. Do you think you can succeed?!"
< br>Zeng Huiyan’s tone was aggressive.
Fang Minghua glanced at her and said calmly:
"I'm not sure why the Lu Prize has not been launched, but I think it will definitely be launched in the future, and the Chinese Literature Prize is now Intense preparations are underway, and a call for submissions will be sent out to the world soon. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned. ”
"You think this means the success of a literary award? How do you ensure that the awards are fair and just, and the works selected are convincing?" Zeng Huiyan continued to maintain this tone.
"The judges include heavyweight writers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, such as Wang Meng, Yu Guangzhong, and Liu Yichang. Do you think the works they judged are not good enough?!" Fang Minghua asked rhetorically.
“But you haven’t answered my first question yet, how to ensure the fairness of the awards?”
“Open and transparent! Of course, no matter how good the mechanism is, it cannot guarantee absolute fairness. For example, the domestic Mao Dun Literature Prize and even the Nobel Prize for Literature are often criticized. Some people have questioned it, but they have never said that canceling the Chinese Literature Award will do the same."
Seeing Fang Minghua talking, Zeng Huiyan suddenly changed her angle and continued to ask: "Why do you want to establish this Chinese Literature Award. Award, is it for the limelight?”
"The UK has the Booker Prize, which is considered to be the highest award in the contemporary English literature world. So why can't the contemporary Chinese literature world have its own award?! If establishing a literary award is to attract the limelight, then Mr. Zhuang Chongwen established the Zhuang Chongwen Literary Award. Is it also for the limelight?”
Zeng Huiyan was stunned by the question.
She found that this mainlander was quite difficult to deal with.
Liu Jiawei, who was standing nearby, couldn't help laughing.
Zeng Huiyan is recognized as a difficult reporter in Hong Kong. She asks tricky and weird questions. Interviewees are often asked questions that either make her speechless or her words are full of loopholes. It is very troublesome to be interviewed by her.
In particular, some visiting celebrities from the mainland, who had no experience in dealing with reporters, answered all questions and did not dare to avoid her questions. As a result, they were often "digging holes and burying them alive" by this woman.
However, Fang Minghua didn't seem to accept her behavior at all. He said what he needed to say and criticized him when he needed to, without giving the other party any face.
The interview was not long, only about ten minutes, and both parties said goodbye politely. After Zeng Huiyan left, Liu Jiawei said with a smile: "Mr. Minghua, Miss Zeng didn't get any advantage from you today."
"I don't think so. This Zeng Miss, you are really not a good person." Fang Minghua said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Sure enough, the next day, the well-known "Xiangjiang Daily" published a report about Zeng Huiyan's interview with Fang Minghua.
The content is basically the content of yesterday’s interview, but the title of the article is very shocking:
Mainland writer Minghua boasts of surpassing Mr. Zhuang and establishing a world-wide Chinese Literature Award! ”
Damn!
Damn it, if you don’t do these eye-catching things, will you die?!
Aren't you trying to create hatred between me and Mr. Zhuang? !
Fang Minghua was in the news twice within a few days of coming to Hong Kong. The first time was with this year’s Miss Hong Kong, Kwok Aiming. This time, he was interviewed by the famous reporter Zeng Huiyan, and he suddenly became a celebrity in Hong Kong.
After the two-day book signing event, according to the itinerary in Hong Kong, he was to attend a lecture organized by the Hong Kong Writers Association. The person in charge of contacting Fang Minghua was a person he knew - Shen Xiwen.
Shen Xicheng is in his forties this year. He has a mustache and wears a floral short-sleeved shirt. He has the demeanor of a scholar but also reveals the temperament of a Jianghu man.
Yes, he is both a member of the Heung Kong Writers' Association and a director of the Heung Kong Writers' Association. He is involved in both serious literature and popular literature. He has a good relationship with both groups. Without some good dancing skills, he can't do it. of.
Today, he came specially to pick up Fang Minghua for the lecture.
The two of them are familiar with each other because of the drinks they had two nights ago, and they talk more casually. In the car, Shen Xicheng took the initiative to talk about Fang Minghua's two news appearances.
"Brother Fang, you can do it. Sister Hong Kong is a huge fan of me and took the initiative to ask you for an autograph. Then Zeng Huiyan gave you an exclusive interview. You are now more popular than Zhou Xingxing."
"Brother Shen, please stop laughing at me." Fang Minghua was a little helpless: "Miss Zeng's interview obviously made things difficult for Mr. Zhuang and I. To be honest, I didn't mean it."
"Haha. Reporters, don't bother with your words." Shen Xicheng smiled and said, "You don't need to think too much about this matter. Our President Liu and Mr. Zhuang have a pretty good relationship. You are here today." Tell Chairman Liu and he will help you eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings.”
"That's a good relationship." Fang Minghua was overjoyed.
The President Liu mentioned by Shen Xicheng is Liu Yichang. Mainland people may not know much about him, but he is very famous in Xiangjiang.
In Xiangjiang, a city known as a "cultural desert, where popular literature is prevalent, Liu Yichang is famous for his serious literature, and he began to engage in avant-garde literature and stream-of-consciousness novels in the 1960s! "Yes" "Pour" and "The Drunkard" are his masterpieces of stream-of-consciousness novels
As a result, they were adapted into the big screen by Hong Kong's Sunglasses King, respectively "In the Mood for Love" and "2046". "Those vanishing years are as if they are visible through a piece of dusty glass, but cannot be grasped. What I saw was also blurry. ”
This classic monologue in "In the Mood for Love" comes from his original book.
It is a very happy thing to see this old man again.
After driving for a while, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a restaurant in Causeway Bay.
Fang Minghua was a little strange and joked:
"Brother Shen, you can't, right? You're here to drink before you even start doing business?"
"I'm not drinking, I'm here for a lecture, a lecture here."
Holy shit! The lecture is actually here? !
