Shen Fang then came to his idol's side.
"Hello, Teacher Yu."
Yu Hua was having a pleasant chat with his old friend Mo Yan when he saw Shen Fang arrive. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Mr. Shen, hello."
He has a rather wicked smile; to be precise, he looks like a villain.
"Teacher Yu, I saw an interview that mentioned you practiced medicine without a license before. Is that true? I'm quite curious."
Yu Hua perked up at this: "Hey, what are you saying? I followed in my father's footsteps. Back then, there were no medical licenses. My dad made me do it, so I gritted my teeth and pulled the tooth. But ever since then, I've never dared to work in that field again. It's terrifying! The pliers would pry open the tooth, and blood would gush out. The pain was unbearable..."
Shen Fang felt a chill run down his spine just listening to this..
How did you come up with the idea of pursuing a career in literature?
Yu Hua shrugged: "Back then, the cultural center was really quiet. I saw those people from the cultural center on the street, wandering around during their working hours every day, and they still had money to spend. I was envious. I thought they were so comfortable, so I wanted to be comfortable too, and that's how I started writing literature. Old Mo was pretty much the same, right?"
Mo Yan nodded: "I did it because the publishing house offered special allowances at the time, and I wanted to earn some extra money."
"At first, because of my low skill level and limited vocabulary, I wrote terrible articles and mailed them everywhere. Later, I gradually found the knack and got published in a Beijing literary journal. I came to Beijing to develop my career, and then Old Zhang noticed me and made a movie about me. I won an award and became famous. Now I just live off what I have. I'll live off what I have for the rest of my life."
"Mr. Yu Hua, do you think there are any writing techniques? I also enjoy writing online literature."
Yu Hua shrugged: "It's hard to say. I can only say that talent is very important. It's important to practice more, write more, read more, copy more, and accumulate experience, but talent is even more important. It's very difficult for ordinary people to make a living as cultural figures. It still depends on talent. I admire Teacher Mo Yan."
"Damn, that's incredibly well-written!!!"
...Yu Hua's classic quotes...
Yu Hua has written many works, and many of them are well-written. His most famous work is "To Live," but his most realistic work is "Chronicle of a Blood Merchant," which is truly shocking and depicts the poverty, ignorance, and pitifulness of the Chinese lower class.
"Professor Mo Yan, the film and television rights to your Red Sorghum haven't been sold yet, have they?"
Mo Yan shook his head: "I don't understand this either. When Director Zhang approached me to adapt my script, I sold him the copyright."
"How about I offer 1 million to buy the film and television rights to Red Sorghum?"
"How much???" Mo Yan was stunned. It's no wonder, Mo Yan is really poor, this is no joke. When he was interviewed after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, everyone said that he could finally afford to buy a house for his daughter and settle down in Beijing. Although Mo Yan is very famous, he really doesn't have much money. In addition, he sold the copyrights very early. When he sold Red Sorghum to Zhang Yimou, he only got 10,000 yuan.
"1 million."
"Sold! Sold!!!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fang immediately took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan stared blankly at Shen Fang: "Don't we need to sign a contract?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "We're all in the same circle, I'm not worried about you running away. Just accept it. I trust you. By the way, I'd like to remind you to buy a house soon."
After saying this, Shen Fang left.
Mo Yan stared blankly at the check in his hand, somewhat bewildered. "Did I just strike it rich?"
Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng patted Mo Yan on the shoulder.
"Old Mo, you've struck it rich! Aren't you going to treat everyone to drinks for a week?"
Mo Yan, wincing in pain, looked at his two mischievous friends and said, "Why are you two using so much force?"
Yu Hua chuckled and said, "This isn't envy."
"envy"
"I hate it!!!"
Shi Tiesheng and Yu Hua were happy to mention their old friend.
Mo Yan touched his thinning hair: "This CEO Shen is really generous. But he did remind me that I really should buy a house. My daughter is not young anymore, and I should prepare a home for her. She will have a place to live when she gets married."
Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang were showing off Huang Xiaoming and Pan Yueming around, and they casually mentioned the apprenticeship banquet.
"You must come then."
"No problem, Lao Zhang, Lao Wang, we'll definitely be there for your apprenticeship. These two young men are definitely Zhou Zheng's men. We'll be there, we'll be there."
Pansy Ho finally remembered who Ye Daying was. Good heavens, the grandson of the King of Guangdong!
What a grand backdrop.
"Brother, I've made some more money, about 8 million. Could you help me invest it?"
Shen Fang lit a cigarette: "You can just go directly to Brother Bo about this. I have a small business opportunity recently, and I need Brother Ye to show up and put in a good word for me. I promise you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
Ye Daying narrowed his eyes: "I can't get involved in things in the capital. The waters here are too deep. I don't want my family to like me."
"Don't worry, we're not in Beijing. Sister Qiong, Sister Xin, come here for a moment."
He Chaoqiong and Xu Xin came over upon hearing this.
Pansy Ho looked at Ye Daying with a smile: "Brother Ye, I finally remember where we met before."
Ye Daying smiled: "Miss He, you must have a bad memory. Brother, what's the matter?"
"Brother Ye, do you have any strong connections in Shanghai?"
"What kind of business?"
"estate."
Ye Daying chuckled: "Brother, this stuff is a deep rabbit hole."
“I know, so I brought in Sister Qiong, Huang Fulai, and Chen Jinfei. They have the strength, background, and money. I plan to turn Binjiang Road into a new landmark of Shanghai and become the most luxurious residential area in China.”
