Chapter 721 A businessman with a dark social background actually has a hobby - he likes literature!
“This is simple, cousin.” Li Li interjected:
“The film “The Love of Ghosts” written by Minghua back then was shot after Paramount Pictures purchased the copyright. I still have the contact information of their vice president Justin. I will contact Justin after I go to school tomorrow and visit their company. He appreciates Minghua’s talent very much.”
After listening to my cousin, Song Tangtang nodded: "Okay, I originally wanted to go to MGM, but Paramount is also good."
"Okay, that's it, you two go to Los Angeles together, and I'll cook at home. Take care of the child for two days," Li Li said with a smile.
As soon as they heard that their aunt had to take care of themselves, the two children's minds immediately became active. Ruirui, who was sitting next to Li Li, immediately leaned into her ear and whispered:
"Auntie, I don't like to eat fried noodles. I want to eat the Italian pasta from Acquerello restaurant."
>Acquerello's is one of the most highly regarded Italian restaurants in San Francisco, known for its fine dining service and delicious pasta.
The macaroni here is not only delicious, but also very particular about the presentation and ingredients. Fang Minghua took his two children to eat there twice, and the children loved it.
However, Song Tangtang heard this and glared at her daughter fiercely.
When she went to work the next day, Li Li contacted Justin, the vice president of Ramon Pictures. The other party said that Song Tangtang was welcome to come to the company for sightseeing and inspection, and would provide thoughtful help.
On the afternoon of February 8, Fang Minghua and his wife carried their luggage and once again embarked on a journey to Los Angeles. However, this time they did not drive and took a plane directly to save time.
The plane shuttled smoothly through the clouds.
Fang Minghua turned his head slightly and looked at Song Tangtang, who was resting with his eyes squinted.
After coming to San Francisco, Fang Minghua felt that the relationship between his wife and him seemed a little distant, not as close as in Xijing.
Maybe it's because this is San Francisco, living in Li Li's house.
Perhaps there are other reasons?
Hey.
Fang Minghua wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to say it.
Song Tangtang's eyes suddenly opened. She looked at her husband who was watching her silently, as if she guessed what he was thinking.
Zhanyan smiled: "Don't think nonsense. I am still the same person as before, but I want to warn you."
"Warning me what?"
"Except for Lili, you can't touch me anymore Another woman!" Song Tangtang said in a low voice.
“You can’t touch it either?”
“I hate it!” Song Tangtang pinched the flesh on Fang Minghua’s arm hard.
"When you go back, you have to make it up to me twice as much!"
"It's not my fault, right? Who told you two sisters to sleep in the same room every night? I'll make it up to you tonight."
Two people Smiling in a low tone, Fang Minghua felt that he suddenly returned to his days in Xijing.
The plane landed at Burbank Bob Hope Airport. The two of them carried their suitcases and walked out of the station, when they saw a strange middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes walking towards them.
"Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang, I am Isabel, the deputy director of the public relations department of Paramount Pictures. I have been entrusted by Vice President Justin to pick me up. I am specifically responsible for the specific matters of Mrs. Fang's visit to our company. ”
"Thank you, Isabelle, have you seen us?" Song Tangtang looked at this strange woman, a little surprised. "No, but I have seen Mr. Fang's photos." Isabella replied with a smile: "Mr. Fang is now a well-known star writer in our country, but he is too low-key, otherwise I would not be the only one who came to pick him up today. A large number of reporters and fans.”
Huh?
It’s better to keep a low profile so as not to be disturbed wherever you go.
The two of them followed Isabelle out of the departure hall, took a car straight to the city, and finally checked into the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel they had booked.
"Mrs. Fang, here are the specific arrangements for tomorrow's visit." Isabella took out a piece of information from her cross-body bag and handed it to Song Tangtang, and then said: "After you wash up, I will take you to dinner. I am in the hall. Waiting for you."
"No, thank you." Song Tangtang said quickly: "My husband and I have been to Los Angeles several times and we are familiar with it."
"That's OK. "Isabelle didn't force herself: "I'll pick you up from the hotel at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to take you to the company." After saying that, she looked back at Fang Minghua.
"Mr. Fang, do you need me to arrange a vehicle to take you to the party location?"
"No, thank you."
After Isabelle left, the couple simply washed up and went to eat.
"Come on, Minghua, let's go have a candlelight dinner." Song Tangtang said enthusiastically.
A long-time married couple is still so romantic?
But as long as the wife is happy, let her go.
After getting up and washing up the next morning, Song Tangtang took Isabelle’s car to visit Paramount Pictures. Fang Minghua bought a map of Los Angeles and took a taxi according to the address on the invitation. past.
The salon was held in the famous wealthy area of Los Angeles - Beverly Hills. Finally, Fang Minghua got out of the car in front of a villa.
This is a three-story villa. Looking through the white fence, it not only has a garden but also a swimming pool. It is a step up from the villa I bought in San Francisco.
Holding the invitation letter, Fang Minghua was welcomed in by a man who looked like a butler, and met Liu Junjie, the owner of the villa. He was in his forties, with a crew cut and a cigar, and was bold and shrewd.
Later, Fang Minghua learned that he was of Chinese descent. He was once the deputy leader of a certain gang in the Taiwanese zu gang. Later, he left the gang and came to Los Angeles to develop. In addition to running several nightclubs in Chinatown, he is now involved in the hotel industry. , owning a five-star hotel is considered a famous figure in the American Chinese circle.
Just such a businessman with a dark social background actually has a hobby - he likes literature!
Bing Ling, the president of the newly established National Chinese Writers Association, came to him and hoped that he could help find a suitable place to hold a salon. Liu Junjie was so generous that he gave up his mansion in Los Angeles and even provided food and drink!
After shaking hands with Liu Junjie and picking up the prepared coffee cup, Fang Minghua met Bing Ling, the initiator of this salon, in the living room of the villa.
He is about forty years old, with a crew cut and a tall build. When he saw Fang Minghua, he immediately shook hands and exchanged greetings.
Although he claimed to be from the Fujian Provincial Writers Association and had also worked as a reporter, he published his debut novel in "Yanjing Literature" in 1980, so he met Li Tuo, the editor at the time.
But to be honest, Fang Minghua has never seen this person in China, nor has he read the novels he wrote, but what he said is basically true, otherwise Li Tuo would not come.
But no matter what, being able to hire a rich man to open a salon is indeed a skill.
More people came one after another, Zha Jianying, Yang Lian, Duoduo, Zhang Ling, Huang Xiang, Li Tuo
Some of these people Fang Minghua knew, some he didn’t know, but no matter what , it is also a very happy thing to meet people in the literary circle in a foreign country.
Finally, Fang Minghua met Bei Dao.
