Chapter 236
Jiang Ning's expression was very focused when he was running, as if he had only one goal in his mind, which was to rush forward! Push forward with all your might!
The vice president caught a glimpse of her sharp gaze looking forward in the crowd as she ran.
He is indeed an award-winning photography enthusiast. Regardless of whether the award he won was won through their internal pork and cake sharing, he has certain abilities. When he captured the expression and extension of that moment, he hurriedly thought like he was staring at a cheetah that might pounce on him at any time to hunt!
He thought again of her harmless appearance when she was always smiling. That look was like a carnivorous beast with super hunting ability, disguising itself as a harmless cat, hiding in the crowd. The palpitations at that moment made his heart skip a beat.
Just as he was distracted, the result of Jiang Ning's first hurdle race came out.
Second place.
Even though she didn't win first place, the vice president was still shocked. He saw with his own eyes how she went from being a track and field novice, to practicing sprinting, and then switching from sprinting to hurdles. How long did it take?
He himself is a smart person. Anyone who can be admitted to Peking University must have an IQ that is among the best in the crowd, right? He was able to find people who shared the same interests in literature among so many people, and quickly figure out the rules of the adult world. He used these rules to become the vice president of the literature society, and was only one step away from becoming the president. He was admitted to graduate school, and his career was smooth sailing from then on. Who could say that he didn't have a high level of comprehension?
But with such intelligence and understanding, at this moment, seeing Jiang Ning, who had just learned hurdles not long ago, won the second place in the school sports meet, a thought emerged in his mind: Could it be that there are really geniuses in this world that he can't reach?
In other words, are there really all-rounders in this world who can reach heights that others cannot reach in every field?
There are certainly many such all-rounders in the world, including the well-known Darwin, who is world-famous.
But he didn't believe Jiang Ning either.
From what he knew about Jiang Ning, he was a typical science student. He studied science in high school and was admitted to Peking University through a science competition program. He studied a pure science major. But such a person actually wrote so many long works of nearly a million words on different topics. Each of his works achieved such high sales and was favored by people in the film and television industry. He, a pure liberal arts student, couldn't do it. Is this really something a pure science student can do?
He doesn't believe it.
But he also saw with his own eyes the man's talent in sports.
Zhang Min and Yu Qianqian had been waiting for Jiang Ning at the finish line. The moment Jiang Ning rushed to the finish line, they all rushed over to catch her. However, Jiang Ning saw Song Peifeng who was also waiting for her at the finish line, and they could not help but open their arms and hug her.
Who knew that Yu Qianqian, who had no sense at all, directly handed her some water. "Hurry up and drink some water. Are you tired?"
Zhang Min also smiled brightly: "You are amazing! You were just a little bit away from first place!"
Yu Qianqian also smiled happily and said, "Getting second place is not bad either, there are rewards too!"
Yu Qianqian and Zhang Min, one helped her massage her legs, and the other handed her water. Liu Yan and Shen Xinlan also gathered around, completely squeezing Song Peifeng out of the crowd.
Jiang Ning smiled at Song Peifeng soothingly, and Song Peifeng didn't care. He looked at her with a smile outside the crowd surrounded by several girls.
Cui Yujie stood in the crowd and watched from afar, looking at the people around her, all wearing the T-shirts that Shen Xinlan prepared for them, only she was not wearing one.
Seeing the people in dormitory 401 getting along so harmoniously and friendly, she puffed her face slightly and watched gloomily.
Her new dormitory was not in the School of Mathematics. Just like Xi Weilu was transferred from the dormitory of the School of Chemistry to the dormitory of the School of Mathematics, her dormitory was also a re-organization of several departments where some students were either withdrawn or difficult to get along with, or because there were extra vacancies in her own department. There were only two people in the dormitory who were from the same department, and the remaining four were from other departments and were grouped together.
In such dormitories, generally speaking, roommates have their own personalities.
Cui Yujie's personality is not the type that is easy to get along with. On the surface, she seems to be friendly to everyone, but her pride as a Beijing native makes her look down on students from other places who come to Beijing University to study. However, she is not like Shen Xinlan, a beautiful, wealthy lady with a really good family background. She is just from an ordinary family, and her confidence is not enough to support her arrogance in looking down on others.
This made her feel a sense of disharmony and contradiction.
Even though she has been very restrained, it is still very obvious in her daily speech and actions. Who is stupid among Beijing University students? She felt it after a few times. In addition, the people in the new dormitory all had their own tempers and personalities, and they were not willing to indulge her. She was also transferred to the new dormitory because of a disciplinary action, so her roommates were even more unwilling to pay attention to her. As a result, she was not very popular either in the dormitory or in the class, as if she was being excluded.
This made her, who was proud inside, very uncomfortable. The more this happened, the more aloof and arrogant she appeared, as if she disdained to associate with them.
At this time, seeing the newcomer in dormitory 401 getting along well with Zhang Min and the others, even though she was standing next to them, skinny and small, as if she had not integrated into dormitory 401, she was holding a glass of water. Jiang Ning naturally took the water from her, drank a few sips, and then put it back into the hand of the skinny girl who was as thin as a little mouse, rubbed her head, and was surrounded by Zhang Min and the others and returned to the rest area stands of their class. The dark and thin girl followed them and was put arm around the shoulders by Zhang Min.
The more Cui Yujie looked, the more uncomfortable she felt. She turned her head away, and then she saw the former vice-president of the literature club staring at Jiang Ning in the crowd. She couldn't help but snort in her heart.
Only after they confirmed that Jiang Ning was really not tired did Zhang Min and the others' enthusiasm, which had nowhere to go, gradually subside. Jiang Ning also took the opportunity to jump out of their encirclement and ran to Song Peifeng.
Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng have been together for such a long time, but because her class schedule is inconsistent with Zhang Min and the others, she has never introduced Song Peifeng to them, resulting in them not knowing Song Peifeng. Just now when Song Peifeng was standing next to them to block the way, Zhang Min was secretly complaining in her heart, wondering which department he was from and how he was so tactless to squeeze next to them. If he wasn't handsome, she would have rolled her eyes at him.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Ning throw herself into Song Peifeng's arms, hug him gently, and then take his hand over, Zhang Min and the others finally reacted. Their mouths immediately opened into an O shape, with teasing expressions on their faces.
Yu Qianqian jumped a few times in excitement and then shouted: "Wow!"
Although Jiang Ning introduced Song Peifeng to them the first time she went to the dormitory, they never saw each other again after that. They almost forgot what Song Peifeng looked like. Now when they saw him again, Jiang Ning threw herself directly into Song Peifeng's arms. Yu Qianqian, who always wanted to fall in love, suddenly widened her eyes, with a gossipy look on her face, looking back and forth between Jiang Ning and Song Peifeng, holding her face with an excited pink smile.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh.
She remembered that when she first came to dormitory 401, Yu Qianqian was a timid and weak-willed girl. She didn't know how to refuse no matter what Cui Yujie asked her to do. Every time she would watch what Zhang Min and she did. If she and Zhang Min refused, she would also learn to refuse. In less than two years, this girl became more and more lively. Her big, blinking eyes sparkled like a light bulb when she ate melons, and there was a teasing smile at the corner of her lips.
Jiang Ning introduced them: "Song Peifeng." She raised her and Song Peifeng's clasped hands and said, "I don't need to introduce our relationship, right?"
"I know~~Brother-in-law? You introduced him to us at the beginning of the school year~~" Zhang Min smiled slyly and shouted in a very familiar way: "Hello, brother-in-law!"
Jiang Ning's age on her ID card was three years older than her actual age. They all thought that Jiang Ning was older than them, but her actual age was indeed much older than them. Jiang Ning never explained and just accepted the title of "sister" with a smile.
Yu Qianqian immediately followed up: "Hello, brother-in-law, hello, brother-in-law!"
Xi Weilu, who had been following the two people in a daze, actually spoke up: "Hello, brother-in-law, hello, brother-in-law."
Song Peifeng had originally brought a big bag of fruit snacks over, and when he was suddenly called brother-in-law, he lost his coolness immediately. The big bag of fruit snacks in his hand immediately became a meeting gift. Zhang Min was so happy that her little white teeth showed, and she pulled Yu Qianqian and Xi Weilu to the side to distribute the snacks.
She was not a stingy person, so she picked up a large bag of snacks and started shouting, "Jiang Ning's boyfriend brought us snacks, so anyone who sees it can have a share!"
A large bag of snacks and fruits was quickly divided up by the classmates.
The boy, who originally had feelings for Jiang Ning, turned his grief and anger into appetite after seeing Song Peifeng, and angrily ate the snacks that Song Peifeng brought.
There were originally few girls in their department, and Jiang Ning was considered the most beautiful one in their department. Countless seniors and classmates had talked about Jiang Ning during dormitory chats, but unfortunately Jiang Ning came and went in a hurry every day. Some seniors and classmates who had ideas about her threw their eyes at her, but seeing that the junior girl focused on studying every day and had no intention of falling in love, everyone still had some hope. But who knew that an unknown guy would get there first and pluck the most beautiful girl in their department of mathematics.
The senior brothers all bit their handkerchiefs and cried, angrily biting the snacks in their hands.
In fact, the most popular girl in the School of Mathematics is definitely not Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning looks too cold and aloof, and seems distant from them. Even though she is pretty, no one dares to talk to her, confess to her, or pursue her.
She is not the fair, clean, soft-voiced, generous, rich and beautiful Shen Xinlan. For the same reason, she is obviously a spoiled young lady. If you don't have any confidence, you would not dare to pick this beautiful flower.
Of course, it wouldn't be Cui Yujie. No one knows what Cui Yujie did, but she made both boys and girls dislike her. This is really rare, and most people can't do this.
The most popular goddess among seniors, juniors and classmates in the entire School of Mathematics is actually Zhang Min.
Zhang Min alone has unified the aesthetic taste of most of the boys in the college.
Zhang Min is 1.68 meters tall, neither tall nor short, and weighs 120 grams. She is neither thin nor fat, which is the 'slightly plump' figure that both boys and girls like. The key is that her face is not fat. Not only is she cute, but she is also warm and generous in what she says and does. She has a lively and cheerful personality and loves to act coquettishly. She acts coquettishly to both men and women. She is independent-minded, has a temper, and has a strong personality. She is a little pretentious, but also cute. No boys or girls can dislike her. When she speaks, she smiles before she speaks. When she smiles, her eyes bend into crescent shapes, and she is very approachable.
As for her laziness, what's wrong with being lazy? Junior sister is so perfect, how could she not have some flaws? Is laziness a disadvantage? That's a chance for them to perform!
As for Liu Yan's comment about "greediness" with a smile, is "greediness" a shortcoming? Who doesn't like to eat something delicious?
Only by knowing that she likes to eat snacks can they understand her preferences and cater to her needs!
She accepted the snacks from others and her mouth was as sweet as honey. No matter how much the gift was, she would give back.
Who wouldn’t like this?
She was also a generous person. No matter how many snacks she received from others, as long as she was present, she would immediately share them generously with everyone. Although she still ate the most in the end, everyone felt happy.
At this moment, the seniors and classmates in the School of Mathematics were eating the snacks distributed by Zhang Min and looking at the smiling face of their junior sister, they felt comforted.
Zhang Min is not only generous to boys, but also to girls. After all, she didn't buy them with her own money, so why shouldn't she be generous? After a while, most of the snacks that Song Peifeng brought were scattered, and the remaining ones were left for them to eat in the dormitory.
She did not hide her little thoughts at all, but even though everyone knew about them, she only had an auntie smile on her face.
The sophomore girl who saw Jiang Ning take second place in the hurdles competition felt uncomfortable. She knew too well what this ranking represented. Even though Jiang Ning seemed to have only taken second place this time, it also depended on the people who competed with her. It could be said that they were all very talented and were sports students who had started practicing hurdles since junior high school, or even earlier.
She was a newcomer who had never practiced sports before, but she was able to get the second place in the school when competing with students with sports expertise who had practiced for many years. This was enough to prove Jiang Ning's strong physical condition.
You know, hurdles require a lot of talent.
She sat next to her senior brother and couldn't help but ask him hesitantly: "Senior brother, do you think it is possible that those works were really written by her?"
Not only did she train to the level of a national second-level athlete in track and field, her academic performance was also able to reach the admission score line of Peking University. The effort and sweat she put in was no less than that of the college entrance examination candidates who were fully preparing for the college entrance examination. Such a girl is naturally not stupid.
It's just that everyone has preconceived notions, and she is closer to her senior brother, so the evidence he gave her sounds logically impeccable.
But Jiang Ning's talent in sports made her doubt. Perhaps some people are just extremely talented and can achieve results that others cannot match in all fields?
The vice president was slightly shaken for a moment, but thinking of the evidence he had found, he shook his head firmly: "We were also very smart since we were young, and we were the best among the crowd. Can you achieve any of the achievements she has made now by yourself?"
The sophomore girl shook her head honestly.
The former vice president said: "I can't do it either."
The sophomore girl seemed to want to talk but hesitated, and ultimately said nothing.
After all, he was the one who was given a serious warning and his future was affected. These were not something that could be resolved with just a few words of advice from her.
After that, the awards ceremony began. As the second place winner of the Mathematics School hurdles team, Jiang Ning naturally won an award. It was originally just an ordinary school-level award, but the teachers and students of the Mathematics School acted as if they had won some heavyweight medal. Not only did they celebrate Jiang Ning with an exceptionally enthusiastic ceremony, but Shen Xinlan also paid out of her own pocket to treat the entire Mathematics School to milk tea. Everyone's attention immediately shifted from Jiang Ning to the eldest lady.
In the evening, everyone in dormitory 401, including Song Peifeng, went to a restaurant for a good meal. Of course, Song Peifeng treated them all this time.
Jiang Ning really enjoyed this school sports meet. This was a university life that was completely different from her previous life.
In my previous life, college life was just about survival. Now that I am free from financial pressure, I can fully feel and enjoy the campus atmosphere. This feeling can probably only be experienced on campus when I was a student. Once you leave the campus, it is very difficult to feel this pure atmosphere again.
Jiang Ning did not return to the dormitory at night. She was still with Song Peifeng, talking to Song Peifeng about her feelings and insights at the school sports meeting during this period.
Song Peifeng cannot understand many of Jiang Ning's feelings now, but he has a great advantage, which is that he will listen carefully, understand and respect. Many years later, when he thinks back to what Jiang Ning said at this time, the feeling of sudden enlightenment is like returning to his youth and colliding with the feelings in his mind at that time again, as if he has suddenly received a surprising gift that came across time and space after many years.
After the school sports meet, Jiang Ning's daily routine, in addition to attending classes, writing, and going to the drama club to have fun, had another fixed activity added, which was hurdle practice for an hour and a half every day at noon, and targeted strength training and explosive power training in the evening after school. For a professional athlete, her training time was certainly not enough, but three hours of practice every day was all the time Jiang Ning could squeeze out, not including her ten-kilometer long-distance run every morning and her Sanda and boxing practice once a week outside.
After entering December, the filming of the movie "I'm a Constable in the Song Dynasty" has been completed and has entered the final editing and promotion stage.
The investor and director found Jiang Ning and wanted to do a roadshow at Peking University, just like they did with "White Snake". After all, Peking University was the first stop for the promotion of their first film "White Snake". After that, they went on a promotional roadshow all over the country, and the box office kept rising, directly setting the first place in the box office of the same year.
The filming of "The Song Dynasty" took them a longer time, and the casting, costumes, and production were all better done, in an effort to replicate the miracle that "White Snake" created.
Not to mention movies like "The King's Guards", which raked in nearly 800 million yuan at the global box office, being able to maintain the box office of "White Snake" at that time is already a huge success for these second-generation rich people who have entered the film industry, and it can make them brag to the sky in their own circle.
For this purpose, they specially contacted Jiang Ning, hoping that Jiang Ning would help with the promotion, and use her own fame to make the movie "The Song Dynasty Catcher" popular before it was released. In order to take advantage of Ning Meng's own popularity and the popularity of the movie "The King's Guards", the name of the movie "The Song Dynasty" was not changed, but the name of the original work was used directly, but a "之..." was added after the original name, in order to make it a series of movies and make more money.
But Jiang Ning was too busy. She was already under a lot of pressure in her studies. The School of Mathematics was a gathering place for real geniuses. Jiang Ning was not even considered a genius in the School of Mathematics. It was not something that could be achieved by just attending a few classes. She had to put a lot of thought and energy into studying so that she would have enough energy to do other things.
Jiang Ning's refusal made several young investors who believed that Jiang Ning had some good luck unable to sit still. They came to Peking University to find Jiang Ning in person. They used their connections to get into Peking University, only to find out that Jiang Ning was actually practicing sports in the stadium.
"You are not doing your job properly, right? How much money can you make by promoting the film with us for a day? You are such a talented girl, why do you come here to practice sports? This is a waste of talent, isn't it?" The investor named Zhang, who didn't take Jiang Ning seriously when the crew of the movie "White Snake" was promoting the film two years ago, was very polite to Jiang Ning this year. He even wanted to touch Jiang Ning's hand a few times and share in this girl's good luck.
How can I have bad luck? As soon as "Legend of the White Snake" was broadcast on CCTV during the summer vacation, it set an extremely high viewership rate of over 4. "The King's Guards" even directly won four awards from the world's three major film festivals, and the global box office directly exceeded 800 million. What does this mean in this era? Even the printing and making money in the movies is not this fast! It is also safe and stable.
The few second-generation rich kids who grabbed the movie copyright of "The Great Song" from Lemon Meng in advance have been enjoying great success recently. Many second-generation rich kids who looked down on them in the past are now willing to invest in "The Great Song" with money, but are they short of money? To put it bluntly, after dividing the box office of "White Snake" last year, the assets of these few people in the second-generation circle are definitely among the top, if not the best.
Are they short of money now? No shortage!
Now he is just waiting for "The Great Song" to be released, so that he can make another wave of money. Besides, he has also planned it out. After the first part of "The Great Song" is finished, he will make the second part next year, and the third part the year after. Just like "Young and Dangerous", it has already been filmed to the sixth part, and this year he will also make "Young and Dangerous: Battle of Hong Kong".
Also for the subsequent "Great Song" parts 2, 3 and 4, Director Yu and his team spent a lot of money and effort on the first "Great Song" film, and invited a very good team of screenwriters to write the script. The entire film, from the script to completion, took a full year. In this era of pursuing the goal of releasing a movie within one or two months, "Great Song" can definitely be considered to be meticulously crafted, just to prepare for the profit of the second, third and fourth parts after the first part became famous.
Otherwise, the first part would have been a flop, not to mention the second, third, and fourth parts.
Investor Zhang was making plans, but Jiang Ning refused to accept the offer, so he couldn't give Jiang Ning the money he wanted.
They also knew that Jiang Ning was not short of money. Maybe she was even richer than them. But without Ning Meng, a lucky mascot, Zhang Erdai, who invested more in this movie than in "White Snake", was a little anxious. After thinking about it, he stuffed a bag of money into Jiang Ning and said, "If you don't want to participate in the roadshow, that's fine! Then use your brain as a top student from Peking University to come up with a promotional strategy for us, right?"
Unfortunately, several movies in this year's Lunar New Year season collided with the director team of "Party A and Party B" from the previous year. The members of this director team are all well-known local tycoons in Beijing with strong connections. In terms of publicity, they are definitely better than those of their unconventional ones.
Jiang Ning didn't expect that this group of second-generation people, the oldest of whom were less than 30 years old and most of whom were in their twenties, would be so willing to spend money. There was at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan in this bag of money.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it popular in Beijing to spray paint the bodies of buses? Why don't you go and paint the bodies of buses in other cities as well? Isn't that better than going to each city to promote it?"
The investor, who was called 'Mr. Zhang', clapped his hands suddenly and said, "What a wake-up call! You said that the brains of you top students from Beijing University are really good!"
In fact, there have been bus promotions in this era. From the earliest ones, there was only a banner on the front of the bus, and later on, promotional wooden boards or fiberglass plates were tied on both sides of the bus. However, both of these promotional methods have limitations. For example, the production cost and cycle are very long, and they are also restricted by rainy days. Their movies were released during the Lunar New Year holiday, which happened to be at the end of the year, and most of the days were cloudy and rainy.
Until recently, the introduction of inkjet printing technology.
However, inkjet printing as a means of promotion is still an emerging technology that has only been introduced from abroad not long ago, and the awareness and usage rates are still low.
Of course, the more important point is that bus gg is currently only popular in Beijing, and it has not yet started in cities outside of Beijing!
