Chapter 664 Circle

Fang Minghua initially thought it was a waiter. When he opened the door, he saw a handsome middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and tie standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

It turned out to be Lu Haiyi!

"Mr. Lu?!" Fang Minghua greeted.

Seeing Fang Minghua's surprised expression, Haiyi explained: I was just flipping through the guest registration book at the bar, and I accidentally saw your name coming. Why didn't you say hello? They're all friends. Don't call me anything, it's too foreign. "

"Haha, you are a busy man. I don't want to disturb you, so come in and chat." Fang Minghua explained with a smile and greeted the other party to come in.

When Hai Ti sat on the sofa, Fang Minghua was about to pour tea for him. Just as he was about to open the tea bags provided in the hotel, he was stopped by Hai Ti.

"Minghua, how can you drink this kind of labor protection tea? Wait a minute." After saying that, Haiyi picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed a number: "Office? I'm Lu Haiyi, let Xiao Liu go to my office. Send Dahongpao and tea sets to room 219, and bring my eldest brother along the way.”

After making the call, Lu Hai smiled and said to Fang Minghua: "Minghua, I know you like to drink Longjing, but I only have Dahongpao in my office. I love drinking that stuff, so I'm sorry for you."

"That Dahongpao tea is good. My friend Zhao Hongjun likes to drink it." Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Zhao Hongjun? Is he Director Zhao of Shengshi Group? Does he have this hobby? Then when he arrives in Yanjing, you must tell him to come to me and let us have a good cup of tea."

"No problem, meeting friends over tea is a good thing."

The two chatted for a while, and Haiyi asked Fang Minghua the purpose of coming to Yanjing. Fang Minghua didn't hide anything, he just came to participate in a work seminar.

"Minghua, I have read your book "In the Name of the People", which is really good. It has high literary value and readability! I admire it!"

"Hai Yi, you've given me the award. Is your book "A Romantic Affair" also very popular among readers?"

"A Romantic Affair" is a novel just published this year. It tells the story of a young policewoman, Lu Yueyue, who is involved in a complicated emotional entanglement, family disputes and gang struggles in order to carry out the task of tracking down the national treasure cultural relic violin. story.

It was later adapted into a very popular TV series and is considered one of Hai Wei's masterpieces.

Haiyi shook his head after hearing this: "It's true that this book is popular among readers, but when it comes to literary quality, it is far inferior to your book Minghua. Have you ever been to the United States? Is there a type of book called a bestseller there?"

"Yes, at the end of the 19th century, the American "Reader" published a book list of bookstores in 19 cities and published a list of the "best-selling books" in the United States. This is where the term bestseller comes from, which generally refers to a very popular book within a period of time. The welcome book is very in line with readers’ tastes,” Fang Minghua replied.

"Yes, my book is a bestseller at most, but it may not be a good book and it may not have much literary value." Hai Wei said.

"You don't know how many writers are envious of your book becoming a bestseller before it's too late."

"That's true, I'm satisfied."

While the two were talking, a very beautiful girl brought the tea set and tea leaves. She quickly set up the tea set and started making tea while squatting down.

Warm the cup, pour the tea, brew the soup, and make the soup. The whole process is smooth and pleasing to the eye. It seems that I do this frequently.

"Taste it."

Fang Minghua picked up a cup and tasted it: "It has a mellow taste, a long sweet aftertaste, and a bit of exotic orchid aroma. It's really the best."

"I finally got this from a friend. You can't even buy it on the market." Hai Yi was a little proud.

When it comes to drinking tea, the tea must be good and you must drink it with someone who understands tea.

The two were drinking and chatting when Hai Yi said, "Minghua, you often come to Yanjing for business trips, right?"

"Yes, there are meetings of the National Writers Association and various literary seminars. My wife's grandparents are also in Yanjing, so I come often."

"But you come here often, but rarely see us."

"Hey, you are all very busy, so I don't want to disturb you." Fang Minghua said haha.

"Isn't it because of the two major circles in the literary and art world? One is your northwest circle, and the other is the Beijing circle."

Oh?

Fang Minghua didn't expect Hai Yi to say this suddenly.

In fact, Haiyi is right.

Nowadays, there are several circles in the domestic literary and art circles, such as the Beijing Circle, Shanghai Circle, Northwest Circle, Hunan Circle, etc. If you include Hong Kong Circle, there is also the Hong Kong Circle. However, now that Hong Kong has not returned, everyone is playing their own games.

But the two largest circles here are undoubtedly the Beijing Circle and the Northwest Circle.

The capital of Yanjing, the domestic political and cultural center, has always been the leader in everything from literature to film and television, but recently it has been violently impacted by the northwest circle represented by Qin Province.

Needless to say about literature, the Qin army showed great power in its two eastern expeditions. In the film and television industry, first the rise of Xiying Film Studio defeated Beijing Film Studio and became the leader in the domestic film industry, and then the establishment of Shengshi Film and Television, which successively produced several excellent film and television dramas. There is a faint tendency to replace Xiying Film Studio and once again become the leading domestic film studio. Brother status, and it is also a private enterprise!

This made everyone in the circle envious and jealous, especially the newly-rising disciples in Yanjing who felt unhappy.

They were all born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, and they were all second generation. They couldn't beat those workers' sons and mud-legged people in the northwest circle!

In fact, for Fang Minghua, he didn't care much about this.

Circles have existed in all times and places, but what's the point of fighting each other? Do you have the ability to go abroad and fight with foreigners?

Whether it is literature or film and television works, wouldn't it be nice to export more to foreign countries and enhance the country's cultural soft power?

Moreover, isn't he still closely related to Wang Meng, Shi Tiesheng, Liu Zhenyun, and Yu Hua, who is now considered half a Yanjing person?

There is also Feng Xiaoning in the film and television industry. Although he was born in Xijing, he has lived in Yanjing since he was a child. There is also Ge ​​You, who is considered a serious person in the Beijing circle, but he has a good relationship.

In fact, it is just that Wang Shuo and Zheng Xiaolong, the children of the big courtyards, are a little bit at odds with each other.

Of course, if these children of the big courtyards don't contact him, he won't take the initiative to lick them, and they can just play their own games.

Suddenly hearing Hai Yan say this, Fang Minghua smiled and said, "Hai Yan, I admit that you mentioned the Beijing circle and the Northwest circle. After all, these two places can be said to have shouldered half of the domestic literary and art circles. But you said fighting. At most, it is competition."

"Besides, the domestic market is so big, and there is an even broader foreign market. Can't accommodate these two circles?"

"You are right, I think so too. Competition is true, but mutual communication is more important. Tonight I will treat Ma Weidu, Liu Zhenyun, Zhao Baogang, and Ge You. I heard that they came to your house for dinner after attending the celebration party of "To Live." "

"Okay, sure." Fang Minghua replied with a smile.

"How about Wang Shuo? Invite him too?" Hai Yan looked at Fang Minghua.
