Chapter 454 453 "Ghost" Is Actually the American Version of "Strange Stories From a Chinese Studio"

Fang Minghua was so embarrassed that he could only say.

"I saw you, but you asked me to change clothes and take a shower, right? You don't mind my sweaty body?"

"Ah, it stinks! Go take a shower, I'll get you some clean clothes. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll make you noodles, Qishan sauerkraut noodles."

Fang Minghua went to the bathroom and took a quick shower, changed into clean underwear, put on a pair of shorts, and came out to sit on the sofa.

Not long after, Song Tangtang came out with a bowl of noodles with red oil soup, with a clove of garlic.

It tasted so good

After Fang Minghua finished eating and rinsed his mouth, Song Tangtang cleaned up the dishes, and then he heard Fang Minghua talk about how he found Li Li in San Francisco.

Fang Minghua did not hide anything, and told the whole story, including the fact that he gave Li Li 100,000 US dollars.

After listening, Song Tangtang did not say anything, but just sighed.

Seeing his wife like this, Fang Minghua advised.

"Tangtang, I know you care about Lili and hope she lives a good life, but she has her own ideas, you can't interfere too much."

"You don't understand, if it weren't for me, Lili would definitely be with you, and she would definitely live a happy life, instead of wandering alone in a foreign country like now." Song Tangtang murmured, "I always feel that I owe her."

"Don't talk nonsense! You don't owe anyone! Don't worry, Lili will definitely find her ideal husband." Fang Minghua comforted.

"I hope so, I'll go to my second aunt's house tonight. I'll persuade her again, hey."

"Your second aunt will understand."

Song Tangtang will worry about Li Li's affairs, and Fang Minghua will no longer think about it.

I didn't go to work in the afternoon, and went to see my pair of precious children. Of course, I had to give gifts. The daughter was a Barbie doll, and the son was a set of the latest Transformers produced in the United States - "Big Ford"!

The Transformers movie was not released until after the millennium, but its Transformers toys have been available in the United States since the early 1980s. It was developed by Hasbro and TAKARA of Japan, and several cartoons were also released.

Both children loved it.

After going to work the next day, I couldn't help but accept the congratulations from my colleagues.

However, there were quite a lot of people who congratulated me this time. In addition to the leaders of my unit and the Writers Association, Liu, the Standing Committee member in charge of publicity, also came to congratulate me in person.

"Winning the American literary award is a glory for the country! Even the Minbao published this news! This is not only your pride, but also the pride of our Qin Province!"

"I hope you will keep up the good work and win the Nobel Prize in Literature next!"

Fang Minghua was ashamed by Liu's words, so he had to say that he would continue to work hard and strive to write better works.

After Liu left, Fang Minghua fell into a state of entertaining guests, and it took him several days to break free.

Finally, it was quiet, and now Fang Minghua started to write "Ghost".

Adapting movies into novels is already a piece of cake for him. Besides, this "Ghost" is actually the foreign version of our country's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Our ancestors have done it.

But this time, he wants to write a script in addition to the novel.

It will definitely be made into a movie in the future, so it is better to write the script now to avoid trouble in the future.

It is very hot in Xijing in July. Fang Minghua works during the day and goes to his parents or father-in-law's house at night. He and his wife take the two children out for a stroll and go home to write after nine o'clock.

Fang Minghua fell into crazy writing and finally arrived in late August. The novel and the script have been written.

The novel has 140,000 words, which can barely be considered a long novel, but the script is only about 20,000 words.

Fang Minghua adheres to a principle: novels are directly for readers, so they must be written in detail, but the script is for the director to read, and secondary creation is required. Too much detail is not conducive to the director's performance.

"Tangtang, call Lili and ask her to come over to our house tomorrow night and take the novel and script away." Fang Minghua went to the next room and said to his wife.

Lili came back a week after Fang Minghua returned to China. According to Tangtang, she had quarreled with her second aunt and second uncle for several days because she wanted to stay in San Francisco, but in the end her parents had to accept this reality.

The daughter has grown up and has become more independent.

Now, Song Tangtang said that her second aunt and second uncle are beginning to worry about Lili's marriage.

Poor parents in the world.

At this time, Song Tangtang was desperately studying English in her study. When she heard her husband's words, she joked, "You think of Lili as your secretary."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just a translation." Fang Minghua said seriously.

After dinner the next afternoon, Fang Minghua took the two children and did not go out for a walk, but drove back to her home. Standing on the balcony, she saw Lili in a white dress riding a small Kun bike to her downstairs.

Fang Minghua remembered that Li Li rode this blue Phoenix brand bicycle when she was studying at Xida University. It has been nearly ten years.

The owner of the bicycle has also grown from a young girl to a mature woman.

"Ruirui, your aunt is here, go open the door." Fang Minghua said to her daughter who was playing with Barbie dolls in the living room.

The little girl immediately threw away the doll and ran to open the door. Within two minutes, Li Li appeared at the door.

"Ruirui." Li Li happily picked up the little girl and went into the living room.

"Where is my cousin?"

"I'm working overtime at the company. You sit down. I'll go cut some watermelon for you." Fang Minghua said as he entered the kitchen and brought out a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

"Why is she so busy?"

"Zhao Hongjun went to Haikou again, so Tangtang has to take full responsibility. You know she's a workaholic." Fang Minghua said as he invited Li Li to eat watermelon.

After eating a piece of watermelon, Li Li washed her hands and picked up the manuscript of "Ghost" and read it carefully.

Fang Minghua didn't care. He sat in the living room watching TV while watching the two little guys not to be naughty.

Suddenly, Ruirui said in a baby voice, "Dad, my aunt is crying."

Fang Minghua turned around and saw Li Li's eyes were red, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Seeing Fang Minghua paying attention to her, Li Li smiled and said, "I'm fine. I was moved by the novel you wrote. The love story of Sam and Meili is really touching. Brother-in-law, you are really a master of writing about love.

"Do you like it?"

"Yeah! I dare say that this novel will be as popular in the United States as The Bridges of Madison County."

"It still depends on your translation."

"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task, including translating this script for you!" Li Li said as she put the manuscript in her bag.

"Lili, when will you return to the United States?"

"I have already got my visa, and I will go back next week."

"Let Tangtang drive you to the airport then."

Li Li sat for a while and said it was getting late to go back, but Fang Minghua stopped her:

"There is one more thing, Lili, let's sign a commission agreement, and the publication and adaptation of my novel in the United States will be fully entrusted to you."
