Chapter 45 Life is precious, but love is more precious. Zhang Xinyan wants...
Zhang Xinyan is responsible for selecting the roles, Li Fengshou is just one of the roles, and the male and female protagonists have not yet been decided.
Without anyone supervising, Li Daohua can start writing her own melodramatic romance novel with peace of mind.
The essence of melodramatic romance novels lies in their melodrama, twists and turns, and unexpectedness.
In fact, according to the routine of current romance novels, it is very easy for Li Daohua to create a melodramatic story.
Love in the Snow
The heroine Jiang Zhongxue has lived in the south since she was a child and has never seen snow. In order to see snow, she chose a university in Heilongjiang Province.
As she wished, in the first snow of her first year in Heilongjiang Province, she saw the man she loved among the plum blossoms.
But after getting to know him, she discovered that this man Bai Cheng was actually her roommate Lin Luming's boyfriend. They had been childhood sweethearts and were recognized as the golden boy and girl in school.
Lin Luming is not only beautiful, but also a nice person.
When Jiang Zhongxue first arrived in Heilongjiang Province, she was unfamiliar with the place and missed home. When she cried secretly at night, it was Lin Luming who stayed with her all night to comfort her.
Originally, she had decided to bury this relationship deep in her heart, but she didn't expect that Lin Luming would still choose to study abroad in his sophomore year.
Bai Cheng cannot go abroad easily because of his background. He hopes that Lin Luming can stay in the country for their future.
"What's wrong with staying in the country? I can give you what you want."
"You can't give it to me. What I want is to stand at the top of the computer industry through my own ability, not through the power of your family."
After Lin Luming went abroad, Jiang Zhongxue saw Bai Cheng in so much pain, so he accompanied him to drink to relieve his boredom.
After a long time, Baicheng got drunk and had sex with Jiang Zhongxue, mistaking him for Lin Luming, and the two had physical contact.
Because of this relationship, Bai Cheng had to officially be with Jiang Zhongxue. During the time they were together, the person he dreamed of was still Lin Luming.
Jiang Zhongxue was in great pain, but he fantasized that as long as he stayed with Bai Cheng forever, he would be able to impress Bai Cheng one day.
As the days passed, Jiang Zhongxue's belly became more and more obvious. In order to prevent any accidents, Bai Cheng prepared to marry Jiang Zhongxue.
A week before the wedding, Lin Luming, who had been studying abroad for two years, returned to China. The first time Bai Cheng saw Lin Luming, he reawakened his love for her.
After Lin Luming returned to China, he also heard about what happened to her after she went abroad. Faced with Bai Cheng's endless harassment, Lin Luming was extremely annoyed.
"What do you mean by discouraged? I told you before I left the country that you should wait for me for three years. When the three-year period is up, I will come back. But you couldn't even bear two years.
What do you mean by "every sea dries up and the rocks crumble", there are so many two years in a person's life, do I have to watch you cheat every two years?"
Bai Cheng was in great pain. He stood in the heavy snow and begged Lin Luming to come out to see him.
Behind him, Jiang Zhongxue, who was pregnant, wanted to come over to hold an umbrella for him, but he waved her away.
In the heavy snow, Jiang Zhongxue fell down and had a miscarriage. The blood flowed on the snow, so red that it was blinding.
Seeing that she had a miscarriage, Bai Cheng carried her away, and Lin Luming heaved a sigh of relief hiding behind the window.
Baicheng and Jiang Zhongxue then develop a tragic love relationship. After Jiang Zhongxue has a miscarriage, she becomes disheartened and wants to leave Baicheng. Baicheng feels guilty and keeps an eye on her silently.
Bai Cheng lost his memory after a car accident. Jiang Zhongxue stayed by his side and took care of him in every possible way. However, she couldn't believe that Bai Cheng would slowly fall in love with her after getting along with her after losing his memory. When she found out that Bai Cheng had recovered his memory, she wanted to escape.
She ran away from him and he chased her, she couldn't escape even if she had wings.
While the two were entangled and all kinds of bloody plots deepened their feelings, Lin Luming used the computer knowledge he had learned to shine in his professional field.
She was extremely smart, and in order to return to China as soon as possible, she completed the three-year course perfectly in two years, and even produced her own research results.
Computers are an absolutely high-tech industry in this era. It can even be said that they are too high-tech and many people don’t understand them at all.
That is to say, Ouyang Yuan works as a librarian at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, otherwise he would not know anything about computers.
As a supporting female character, Lin Luming has to appear beside the male and female protagonists from time to time, serving as a catalyst for their emotions.
Every time Lin Luming appears, he has his own aura and is the focus of the crowd.
Who wouldn't be jealous and admire such an outstanding person? The unconscious infatuation revealed in Bai Cheng's eyes made Jiang Zhongxue extremely painful.
In the end, although Lin Luming achieved success, he lost the most precious love he once had.
Although Jiang Zhongxue dropped out of college, had a miscarriage, was abused, imprisoned, and lost confidence, she finally won Bai Cheng's love. She stayed at home every day, cooking for him, taking care of her husband and children, and lived a happy life.
Looking at the ending, Li Daohua was satisfied. Everyone got what they wanted, how great.
Life is precious, but love is more precious.
Only after being physically and mentally abused can one become more determined in one's love.
After reading it, Ouyang Yuan felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"This novel... doesn't seem to have any theme?"
This was Ouyang Yuan's most euphemistic way of saying it. His real thought was that this novel had no substance and was just about love.
This love affair is still very complicated, and every reversal shocks him greatly. Can't this love just come naturally?
"Oh, this is the charm of melodramatic romance dramas. They are so complicated and make people feel anxious. It seems that they will be happy in the next episode, but the unexpected always comes first."
This is called pulling!
"Then I'm afraid you'll be scolded again if you publish this novel."
"Of course, but this time I plan to change my name and submit it to a different place."
Ouyang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his wife had finally been smart this time.
"This time, I'll call myself Wheat Ear and submit my work to Sprout."
"The Sprout" belongs to youth literature. How can the melodramatic college student love story not be considered youth literature?
However, this submission was not smooth. Abandoning the already famous pen name Daohua, Mai Sui, a newcomer, could only get a low fee of 5,000 words.
"That doesn't matter, time will tell!" Don't underestimate the power of melodramatic romance novels.
After she submitted her script, "On the Rooftop" selected the role and officially started filming.
The first scenes to be filmed were those set in Hong Kong Island. Zhang Xinyan hoped to invite Li Daohua to Hong Kong Island to assist in the filming and also to carry out cultural exchanges.
Li Daohua didn't want to go at first, but someone from the door came to her house and hoped that she could go. This was a good opportunity for communication.
"The country is now discussing the return with the west, but before the return, we must also make preparations in advance.
Not only will you go alone, but there will be other people going with you, and having an official identity will make things easier for you.”
In order to allow her to feel at ease in participating in cultural exchanges, the decision to revise the Chinese language textbooks, which had been discussed previously, was also officially announced in mainstream newspapers.
“We actually want to revise the textbooks?”
As soon as the news was announced, there was an immediate uproar. In the past two years that Li Daohua has been writing, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" was a rare short story. Unexpectedly, it has now become the most influential novel.
The texts in the Chinese textbooks are all carefully chosen. They are outstanding literature from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, selected by many literary scholars after extensive reading.
Those who used to like to post articles criticizing Li Daohua now dare not speak. It’s not that they have nothing to say, but that they dare not speak.
Their weight in the literary world cannot be compared with those literary greats. If they continue to jump around since they have been recognized by the other party, they would be like clowns.
There were also fence-sitters who changed their tune and began to praise Li Daohua as a rising star of the era and the future of the literary world.
Li Daohua was too lazy to pay attention to such people. She was preparing to go to Hong Kong Island. It was still quite troublesome to go to Hong Kong Island now, as she had to go through an inspection.
Especially in Hong Kong Island, supervision of citizens is very strict due to concerns about disrupting the island's ecology.
Many Hong Kong people were unable to apply for visas to other places in the 1980s, basically because there were records of their participation in the pass in their files. Even if they just participated in a patriotic parade, it would be recorded.
However, among them, Li Daohua's review was passed first.
She is young, educated, and has advanced ideas. Even when senior executives in Hong Kong saw that her resume included American literature, they felt that she loved Western countries and could definitely be won over.
Both parties wanted Li Daohua to help them and they hit it off immediately.
"Welcome, welcome to our inland comrades to come and visit us!"
Leaders of left-wing companies such as Yindu Organization, which was established this year, attended the welcoming banquet.
The Yindu Organization is composed of several film companies, including the recently established Zhongyuan Films of Great Wall and Phoenix.
In addition to Li Daohua, there is also the head of China Production Corporation on the inland side. China Production Corporation is the first domestic institution in charge of Sino-foreign co-production affairs, with an official background and a corporate shell.
At the welcoming banquet, Li Daohua was honest and upright throughout, which is consistent with the information obtained from investigations in Hong Kong Island.
Even though they were busy here, not many people in Hong Kong knew that Li Daohua and his team were coming.
The channels for their voices are too few and too small, so it has been difficult for them to maintain their presence over the years.
In the film and television circles in Hong Kong Island, some bad practices are inevitable.
While they were watching the performance in the smoke-filled atmosphere, Li Daohua couldn't stand the smell anymore and came out to get some fresh air.
Because it was a welcoming banquet hosted by Yindu Organization, the entire hotel was booked, which was also for safety reasons.
In Hong Kong Island, gangs are rampant, and even capitalists like these have to cooperate with them.
If you encounter some young gangsters who have no martial ethics and no moral code, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing shoes. It is better to pay attention to safety.
Through the window, you can see the bright lights and bustling Hong Kong Island outside, which is rarely seen in the inland nowadays. You can also hear the singing in the box.
"Miss Li, why don't you come out to get some fresh air?"
A man Li Daohua had never seen before stood next to her and asked in a gentlemanly manner.
The reason why he was pretending to be a gentleman was that although his words were polite, his eyes could not deceive people.
Although she was a member of the exchange meeting, Li Daohua dressed differently from the others. There were more men than women at this exchange meeting, and most of them wore suits, even the lesbians.
Li Daohua was wearing a skirt. When it was cold at night, she would add a knitted jacket.
This style of dressing makes her out of tune with others, and no one in the exchange group would say anything about her because everyone knows that her mission is different from theirs.
In this man's eyes, Li Daohua's dressing style was obviously to cater to the Hong Kong people, so he naturally looked down on her and felt that his mission today was easy.
His eyes made Li Daohua very uncomfortable. Li Daohua leaned against the window, slowly looked the man up and down, and finally gave him a big roll of the eyes as if he was a loser.
As I said before, rolling eyes is more obvious if you have big eyes, and Li Daohua is a master at this.
Not only the man next to her could see her rolling her eyes, but even the waiter in the nearby box could see it clearly.
The man who once relied on his beauty to get along well with women now felt as if he was insulted.
In fact, I was indeed insulted.
The man’s appearance is okay, but unfortunately, his vulgar temperament and the look of contempt lower his appearance a bit.
Besides, if he wants to be gentle and refined, Li Daohua has to face Ouyang Yuan every day, and if he wants to be a gentleman, Li Fengshou's gold-rimmed glasses are also a unique look.
If a man wants to seduce Li Daohua in these two areas, there is no chance.
His image is repetitive. If he changed his image, Li Daohua might be interested in saying a few words.
"Oh, Teacher Daohua, you are here. I was shocked. I thought you were gone.
Are you not used to this kind of occasion? If you feel sleepy, I will send someone to take you back first?"
A person in charge of the Yindu Organization saw Li Daohua and hurried over. He actually had some questions he wanted to ask Li Daohua, but today's occasion was obviously inappropriate.
After confirming that Li Daohua wanted to return to the hotel, he said goodbye to the exchange meeting and asked several bodyguards to take Li Daohua to a hotel not far away.
When he was leaving, he saw the man, frowned and asked someone to clear him out.
He had never seen this person before, so he was definitely not the one they invited. "Check where he got in from."
If a killer sneaks in, they will all be in danger.
Li Daohua's main mission when she came to Hong Kong Island was to shoot "On the Rooftop".
An important filming location for "On the Rooftop" - Hong Walled City, also known as Kowloon Walled City.
Zhang Xinyan didn't let Li Daohua go to this place because it was too dangerous. If an accident happened, he couldn't afford the compensation.
It was Li Fengshou's first time to visit Hong Kong Island. On the way here, he was very excited and asked Li Daohua to help him check if there was anything inappropriate in his clothes.
He didn't attend the welcoming banquet, he is just an actor, so the other actors had a meal together in the hotel restaurant.
That also opened his eyes. There were many things that he had never even heard of, let alone seen.
When he went from Henan Province to Beijing, he felt that he had seen the world. This time when he went to Hong Kong Island, he saw the world again.
When Li Daohua came back, he was waiting at the door of Li Daohua's room. Before coming out, he promised his uncle that he would take good care of Sister Daohua. He couldn't sleep peacefully until Li Daohua came back.
This group of people were finally exposed thanks to the popularity of "Shaolin Temple".
Zhang Xinyan, who directed "Shaolin Temple", started filming again. Can he surpass the success of "Shaolin Temple"?
After learning that what was being filmed was a TV series and not a movie, people began to question whether Zhang Xinyan was preparing to quit the film industry.
In short, hear the wind and believe it.
In order to prevent these tabloids from talking nonsense, Zhang Xinyan had to take out an advertisement in the newspaper to clearly state the type of TV series they were going to shoot this time, and also mentioned Li Daohua.
The original intention was to help Li Daohua open up the Hong Kong Island market.
The Hong Kong Island market was not small at that time. Although the population was small, the per capita income was not small.
Unexpectedly, the idea backfired and was mentioned in the newspapers, which compared Li Daohua with writers from Hong Kong Island.
Many newspaper editors have never been to the inland and simply rely on their own random writing. As for emerging writers like Li Daohua, they naturally have no channels to obtain information about her.
He is so young and has no works. Who would believe that he is not a relative of others?
Those who have done good deeds are implicitly mentioning that Li Daohua is a relative of Li Daohua. Those who have not done good deeds are now fabricating gossip.
Some say Li Daohua is Zhang Xinyan’s mistress, the mistress of the person in charge of Yindu, and the star they bought back from the inland... Everyone knows that Yindu is now in a period of transition.
In the past two years in China, I have only read serious newspapers. Even if they wanted to criticize her, they would not use such a low-level method.
Now when I see newspapers like this one in Hong Kong that are full of nonsense, I am reminded of the past.
Back then, when she was still operating an account at a self-media company, there were countless gossips that were sent out without verification, and everyone was in the same boat.
Li Fengshou was furious. His sister Daohua was such a beautiful girl, but the old men mentioned in the newspaper could all be her father.
I still felt a little guilty, luckily my brother-in-law was not there, otherwise I would have beaten him.
