When Yang Meng turned around and left, Comrade Liu appeared next to Lin Weimin.

"Writer Lin, Ms. Yang Meng is one of our own. If possible, please support her work."

Lin Weimin said: "Of course."

There was also this reason why he agreed to Yang Meng so happily just now.

However, Yang Meng suddenly wanted the rights to adapt the two works "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Lover", which made him feel a little sad and worried about the effect of the adaptation.

After all, in his memory, the adaptations of these two works were quite successful. If they failed, they would not be able to live up to the original works.

The banquet continued, and Liu Yichang pulled Dai Tianlai to chat with Lin Weimin.

After chatting for a while, Dai Tian and Lin Weimin talked about "Bafang", "I heard from brother Yi Changwen that the deputy editor-in-chief Cheng of "Sing Tao Evening News" used "Bafang" to compile articles for you, which caused some unpleasantness."

"Because of the issue of royalties, I am indeed a little unhappy!" Lin Weimin said bluntly.

Dai Tian is one of the founders of "Bafang". He laughed and said: "If you want to blame, just blame that Cheng Yiqiu. Don't be angry with us at Bafang. Cang Wu doesn't mean to disrespect you, it's just because of the face of his friends.

"

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "It's all in the past."

Dai Tian, ​​a kind-hearted person, chatted with Lin Weimin for a long time. During the chat, he mentioned the situation of "Bafang". It was not easy to establish this publication, and it was even more difficult to run it.

In the mid-1980s, "Bafang" published many works by mainland writers, and it was instrumental in popularizing mainland writers to readers in Hong Kong.

The arrival of a group of mainland writers in Hong Kong was an opportunity for Octagon. Dai Tian knew that Lin Weimin was the editor-in-chief of Contemporary, and hoped that he would be able to publish mainland works for Octagon when he returned.

"Of course this is a good thing, as long as the manuscript fee is appropriate." Lin Weimin said with a somewhat joking tone.

Dai Tian couldn't help but smile and pointed at him, "You don't look like a scholar!"

"Literati also have to eat, they are not immortals." Lin Weimin responded to his words and looked to the side, "Mo Yan, come here!"

Mo Yan heard Lin Weimin's shout and came over, "Teacher Lin!"

Dai Tian glanced at Lin Weimin unexpectedly, "Why do you call him teacher?"

"Mr. Lin is my editor-in-chief at "Contemporary", and several of my influential works were published in "Contemporary"." Mo Yan explained, and he pointed to Shi Tiesheng who was chatting with others about the mountains. "

Not only me, but also Tiesheng’s several influential works were published by Teacher Lin.”

Dai Tian smiled and said to Lin Weimin: "No wonder you are the editor-in-chief!"

Lin Weimin waved his hand towards him and said to Mo Yan: "Tell Mr. Dai a brief introduction to the "Red Sorghum Family" you are currently writing."

Mo Yan didn't know what Lin Weimin meant by doing this, but he did it anyway.

After listening to Mo Yan's narration, Dai Tian sighed: "What a story!"

Lin Weimin added: "His novel is about to be finished. Let me show you the manuscript later. If you think it is appropriate, you can send it to Octagon."

Dai Tian nodded, "Okay!"
Chapter completed!
