Chapter 236 236
Jiang Xi's expression while running was very focused, as if she had only one goal in mind, which was to charge! Charge forward with all her strength!
The vice president caught her sharp gaze looking forward in the crowd at the moment she was running.
He is indeed an award-winning photography enthusiast. Regardless of whether the award he won was from the internal distribution of pork and cake, he also has a certain level of ability. When he captured the expression and extension of that moment, he hurried himself as if he was staring at a cheetah that might pounce on him at any time!
He thought of her harmless smile every day, like a carnivorous beast with super hunting ability, but pretending to be a harmless cat, hiding in the crowd. The palpitation at that moment made his heart skip a beat.
Just as he was distracted, the result of Jiang Xi's first hurdles competition 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 a track and field rookie to sprinting, and then from sprinting to hurdles. How long did it take?
He himself is a smart person. Who can be admitted to Beijing University? Whose IQ is not the best among the crowd? He was able to find literary enthusiasts among many people, quickly figure out the rules of the adult world, and use these rules to become the vice president of the literature club. He was only one step away from becoming the president, and he was admitted to graduate school . From then on, his career was smooth. Who could say that he was not intelligent?
But with such intelligence and understanding, at this moment, seeing Jiang Wu, who had just learned to cross the hurdles, won the second place in the school sports meeting, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: Is there really a genius in this world that he can't reach?
Or, is there really a versatile person in this world who can reach a height that others can't reach in all fields?
Of course, there are many such versatile people in the world. As we all know, Darwin is famous all over the world.
But he doesn't believe that Jiang Wu is the same.
From what he knew about Jiang Xi, he was a complete science student. He studied science in high school and entered Peking University through a science competition. He studied a pure science major. But such a person actually wrote so many long works of nearly one million words on different themes. 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 didn't believe it.
But he saw with his own eyes that this person was talented in sports.
Zhang Min and Yu Qianqian had been waiting for Jiang Xi at the finish line for a long time. The moment Jiang Xi rushed to the finish line, they all rushed up to catch her. Jiang Xi saw Song Peifeng, who was also waiting for her at the finish line, and couldn't help but open his arms and hug her.
Who knew that Yu Qianqian, who had no sense at all, directly handed her some water, "Have some water, are you tired?"
Zhang Min also smiled brilliantly, "You are amazing! You almost got first place!"
Yu Qianqian also smiled happily and said, "It's not bad to get second place, 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 came over, completely squeezing Song Peifeng out of the crowd.
Jiang Xi 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 looked at them from a distance. The people around her were all wearing the T-shirts prepared by Shen Xinlan for them, except for her.
Seeing the people in dormitory 401 getting along so harmoniously and friendly, she puffed up her face and looked at them gloomily.
Her new dormitory was not in the School of Mathematics, but like Xi Weilu who was transferred from the dormitory of the School of Chemistry to the dormitory of the School of Mathematics, her dormitory was also a dormitory reorganized by several departments, some of which were either eccentric or not easy 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. 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 deep down, she is proud of being a Beijinger, which makes her look down on students from other places who come to Beijing University. However, she is not like Shen Xinlan, a beautiful, wealthy lady with a good family background. She is just from an ordinary family, and her confidence is not enough to support her arrogance to look down on others.
This makes her feel contradictory.
Even though she has been very restrained, it is still very obvious in her daily words and deeds. Who is a stupid Beijing University student? After a few times, she felt that, plus the people in the new dormitory, each with their own temper, each with their own personality, were not willing to get used to her, and she was transferred to the new dormitory as a punishment, so her roommates in the new dormitory were even more unwilling to pay attention to her, resulting in her being unwelcome in both the dormitory and the class, as if she was being excluded.
This made her, who was proud inside, very uncomfortable, and the more this happened, the more arrogant she appeared on the outside, as if she disdained to be with them.
At this time, watching the newcomer in dormitory 401 getting along well with Zhang Min and the others, even though she was standing next to them and looked like she had not integrated into the dormitory 401, she was holding a glass of water, so Jiang Yu naturally took the water from her, drank a few sips, and then stuffed it back into the hands of the skinny girl who looked like a little mouse, rubbed her head, and was surrounded by Zhang Min and the others and returned to the rest area of their class. The skinny girl followed them and was held by Zhang Min's shoulder.
The more Cui Yujie looked, the more uncomfortable she felt. She turned her head away and saw the former vice president of the literature society staring at Jiang Yu in the crowd, and she couldn't help but snorted in her heart.
Until they confirmed that Jiang Wu was not tired, Zhang Min and the others' enthusiasm gradually subsided. Jiang Wu also took the opportunity to jump out of their encirclement and ran to Song Peifeng's side.
Jiang Wu and Song Peifeng have been together for so long, but because her class time is inconsistent with Zhang Min and the others, she has never introduced Song Peifeng, resulting in none of them knowing him. Just now when Song Peifeng stood by to block things, Zhang Min secretly complained in her heart, what department is he from? He is so tactless to squeeze next to them. If he wasn't handsome, she would have rolled her eyes.
At this time, seeing Jiang Xi throw himself into Song Peifeng's arms, hug him gently, and then pull his hand over, Zhang Min and the others finally reacted, their mouths opened into an O shape, and their faces were full of teasing expressions.
Yu Qianqian was even more excited and jumped a few times, and then shouted: "Wow!"
Although Jiang Xi introduced Song Peifeng to them when he first went to the dormitory, they never saw him again. They almost forgot what Song Peifeng looked like. Now they saw Jiang Xi throw himself into Song Peifeng's arms again. Yu Qianqian, who always wanted to fall in love, suddenly widened her eyes, looked back and forth between Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng with a gossipy look on her face, and smiled excitedly with a pink smile.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but laugh.
She remembered that when she first came to dormitory 401, Yu Qianqian was a timid and soft-tempered girl. She didn't know how to refuse no matter what Cui Yujie asked her to do. Every time she watched Zhang Min and her do it, and when she and Zhang Min refused, she also learned to refuse. In less than two years, this girl became more lively. Her big, twinkling eyes sparkled like a light bulb when she ate melons, and there was a teasing smile at the corner of her lips.
Jiang Xi introduced him to them: "Song Peifeng." She raised her and Song Peifeng's clasped hands: "What kind of relationship is this? I don't need to introduce him, 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 Xi's ID card age is three years older than her actual age. They all thought that Jiang Xi was older than them, but her actual age was indeed much older than them. Jiang Xi never explained and just responded to the title of "sister" with a smile.
Yu Qianqian followed immediately: "Hello, brother-in-law!"
Xi Weilu, who followed the two people in a daze, also spoke: "Hello, brother-in-law."
Song Peifeng originally brought a large bag of fruit snacks, and was suddenly called brother-in-law. He immediately lost his coolness. The large bag of fruit snacks in his hand immediately became a gift for meeting. Zhang Min was so happy that her little white teeth showed. She pulled Yu Qianqian and Xi Weilu to the side to distribute snacks.
She was not a stingy person. She shouted while carrying a large bag of snacks: "Jiang Xi's girlfriend brought us snacks. Everyone who sees it can have a share!"
A large bag of snacks and fruits was quickly divided up by the classmates.
The boys who originally had ideas about Jiang Xi turned their sadness and anger into appetite after seeing Song Peifeng, and angrily ate the snacks brought by Song Peifeng.
There were not many girls in their department, and Jiang Xi was the most beautiful one in their department. Many seniors and classmates had talked about Jiang Xi during the dorm chats, but Jiang Xi came and went in a hurry every day. Some seniors and classmates who had ideas just flirted with her. But seeing that the junior sister was focused on studying every day and had no intention of falling in love, everyone still had some hope. Who knew that an unknown boy would get there first and pluck the flower of their math department.
The seniors bit their fingers and cried, biting the snacks in their hands angrily.
In fact, if we talk about the most popular girl in the School of Mathematics, it is definitely not Jiang Xi. Jiang Xi looks too cold and distant from them. Even though she is pretty, no one dares to talk to her, confess to her, or pursue her.
It is also not the fair, clean, soft-voiced, generous, rich and beautiful Shen Xinlan. The reason is the same. She is obviously a spoiled young lady. If you don’t have a little confidence, you dare not pluck this rich flower.
Of course, it is not Cui Yujie. Cui Yujie doesn’t know how she did it. She made both boys and girls dislike her. This is really rare. Most people can’t do this.
The goddess who is most popular among seniors, juniors, and classmates in the entire School of Mathematics is actually Zhang Min.
Zhang Min alone has unified the aesthetic tastes of most of the boys in the college.
Zhang Min is 1.68 meters tall, not too tall or short, weighs 120 grams, not too thin or fat, just the "slightly plump" figure that both boys and girls like, the key is that her face is not fat, not to mention cute, she is also enthusiastic and generous in speaking and doing things, lively and cheerful, and especially likes to act coquettishly, and the target of her coquetry is not divided by gender, and she is opinionated, tempered, and has a personality, and is a little bit petty, and cute, the kind of boy and girl can't dislike her, and when she speaks, she smiles before she speaks, and when she smiles, her two eyes bend into a crescent shape, full of affinity.
As for her laziness, what's wrong with being lazy? Junior sister is so perfect, how can there be no flaws? Is laziness a flaw? That is a chance for them to show off!
As for the "glutinous" that Liu Yan commented with a smile, is "glutinous" a shortcoming? Who doesn't like to eat something good?
Knowing that she likes to eat snacks, they can know her preferences and can cater to her preferences!
She accepted the snacks from others, and her mouth was as sweet as honey. No matter how much the gift was, she would give a gift in return.
Who wouldn't like this?
She was also generous. No matter how many snacks others gave her, as long as she was present, she would immediately share them generously with everyone. Although she ate the most in the end, everyone felt comforted.
At this moment, the seniors and classmates of the School of Mathematics were eating the snacks distributed by Zhang Min, and looking at the smile of the junior sister, they felt comforted again.
Zhang Min was not only generous to the boys, but also to the girls. After all, she didn't pay for them, 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, but everyone knew her little thoughts, but she only had an auntie smile on her face.
Seeing Jiang Xi get the second place in the hurdles competition, the sophomore girl felt very uncomfortable. She knew too well what this ranking represented. Although Jiang Xi seemed to have only won the second place this time, it also depends on who the people who competed with her were. It can be said that they were all very talented sports students who 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 compared with the sports students who had practiced for many years. This was enough to prove Jiang Xi's strong physical condition.
You know, hurdle jumping is extremely a talent-based thing.
She sat next to her senior and couldn't help asking him hesitantly, "Senior, do you think it's possible that those works were really written by her?"
She trained herself to the level of a national second-level athlete in track and field, and her academic scores were still high enough to get into Peking University. The effort and sweat she put in were no less than those of college entrance examination candidates who were fully preparing for the college entrance examination. Such a girl would naturally not be stupid.
It's just that everyone has preconceived notions, and she was closer to her senior, so the evidence he told her sounded logically impeccable.
But Jiang Xi's talent in sports made her wonder, maybe some people are just extremely talented and can achieve results that others can't match in all fields?
The vice president was a little hesitant, but when he thought of the evidence he had found, he shook his head firmly: "We were also very smart and outstanding since we were young. 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 hesitated and finally said nothing.
After all, he was the one who was given a serious demerit and his future was affected. These were not things that she could get over with a few words of advice.
After that, the awards were presented. As the second place winner of the Mathematics School's cross-hurdle team, Jiang Xi naturally won an award. It was just an ordinary school-level award, but the teachers and students of the Mathematics School seemed to have won some heavyweight medal. Not only did they show an extremely enthusiastic celebration ceremony for Jiang Xi, but Shen Xinlan also paid for milk tea for the entire Mathematics School students. Everyone's attention suddenly shifted from Jiang Xi to the eldest lady.
In the evening, the people in dormitory 401, including Song Peifeng, went to a restaurant for a good meal. Of course, this time it was Song Peifeng's treat.
Jiang Xi still enjoyed this school sports meeting. This was a completely different college life from his previous life.
In the previous life, college life was called survival. After no longer having financial pressure in this life, I can fully feel and enjoy the campus atmosphere. This feeling can only be felt on campus during the student period. It is very difficult to feel this pure atmosphere after leaving the campus.
Jiang Wu did not return to the dormitory at night. He was still with Song Peifeng, and talked to Song Peifeng about his feelings and insights at the school sports meeting during this period.
Many of Jiang Wu's feelings are not yet experienced by Song Peifeng now, but he has a good advantage, which is that he will listen carefully, understand and respect. After many years, when he thinks back to what Jiang Wu said at this time, the feeling of sudden enlightenment is like returning to his youth, and colliding with the insights in his mind at that time again, like after many years, he suddenly received a surprising gift that came across time and space.
After the school sports meet, Jiang Xi's daily routine, in addition to attending classes, writing, and going to the drama club to let loose, has one more fixed activity, which is to practice hurdles for an hour and a half every day at noon, and to do targeted physical strength training and explosive training after school in the evening. For a professional athlete, her training time is certainly not enough, but three hours of practice every day is all the time Jiang Xi can squeeze out, not including her ten-kilometer long-distance running every morning and the Sanda and boxing training she has to do outside once a week.
After entering December, the filming of the movie "I am a Constable in the Song Dynasty" has been completed, and it has reached the final editing and publicity stage.
The investor and director found Jiang Xi and wanted to do the same as the original "White Snake" and come to Peking University for a roadshow. After all, the first stop for the promotion of the first movie they invested in, "White Snake", was Peking University. After that, they went on a promotional roadshow all over the country, and the box office kept rising, directly setting the first box office record of the same year.
For the filming of "Song Dynasty" this time, they took a longer time, whether it was casting or costumes, the production was also more sophisticated, just to replicate the miracle created by "White Snake" at that time.
Let's not talk about "The King's Guards", which raked in nearly 800 million box office worldwide. Being able to maintain the box office of "White Snake" at that time is already a huge success for this group of second-generation rich people who ran into the film industry, which can make them brag to the sky in their own circle.
For this purpose, they contacted Jiang Xi specifically, hoping that Jiang Xi would help promote the movie together, and use her own fame to make the movie "The Great Song Dynasty" popular before it was aired. In order to take advantage of the popularity of Xi Meng and the movie "The Imperial Guards", the name of the movie "The Great Song Dynasty" was not changed, but the name of the original work was used directly, but a "之..." was added after the original name, just to make it a series of movies, so as to make more money.
But Jiang Xi was too busy. She was nervous about studying. The School of Mathematics was a gathering place for real geniuses. Jiang Xi was not a genius in the School of Mathematics. It was not something that could be achieved by just taking a few classes. She had to put a lot of thought and energy into studying so that she could have the spare time to do other things.
Jiang Xi's refusal immediately made several young investors who believed that Jiang Xi had some good luck unable to sit still. They came to Beijing University to find Jiang Xi in person. They found a way to get into Beijing University, and then they found out that Jiang Xi was actually practicing sports in the stadium.
"You are not doing your job properly, right? How much money do you make for a day of promotion with us? You are such a talented woman, why do you come to practice sports? Isn't this a waste of talent?" The year before last, when the "White Snake" film crew was promoting the film, Zhang, an investor, didn't take Jiang Xi seriously. This year, he was very polite to Jiang Xi, and he wanted to touch Jiang Xi's hand a few times to get a taste of this girl's good luck.
How could her luck not be good? As soon as "Legend of the White Snake" was broadcast on CCTV during the summer vacation, it set a record of over 400 million viewership ratings. "The Imperial Guards" even won four awards at the three major film festivals around the world, and the global box office directly exceeded 800 million. What kind of concept is this in this era? Even printing money in movies doesn't make money so fast! And it's safe and stable.
The second-generation rich who grabbed the copyright of the cute "Song Dynasty" in advance have been enjoying unlimited glory during this period. Many second-generation rich who looked down on them in the past are holding money and want to invest in "Song Dynasty", but do they lack money? To be frank, after sharing 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!
Now they are just waiting for the release of "The Great Song", and they can make another wave of money. Moreover, they have made plans. After the first part of "The Great Song" is finished, they will make the second part next year, and the third part the year after. Just like "Young and Dangerous", they have already filmed the sixth part, and this year they will also make "Young and Dangerous: Battle in Hong Kong".
For the second, third and fourth parts of "The Great Song", Director Yu and his team spent a lot of money and effort to invite a powerful screenwriter team to write the script for the first movie of "The Great Song". The whole movie took a whole year from the script to completion. In this era of pursuing a movie to be released in one or two months, "The Great Song" is definitely a meticulous work. It is to prepare for the second, third and fourth parts to make money after the first part becomes famous.
Otherwise, the first part would be a failure, and the second, third and fourth parts would be out of the question.
The investor surnamed Zhang had his plan in mind, but Jiang Xi refused to accept it. He could not give Jiang Xi money.
They also knew that Jiang Xi was not short of money. She might even be richer than them. But without the lucky mascot Xi Meng, Zhang Erdai, who invested more in this movie than in "White Snake", felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he stuffed a bag of money into Jiang Xi and said, "If you don't want to participate in the roadshow, that's fine! Then use your Peking University brain to come up with a publicity 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 tyrants in Beijing with a strong network of relationships. In terms of publicity, they are definitely better than their unconventional methods.
Jiang Xi had not expected 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 Xi 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 take charge of the bodies of buses in other cities? Isn't that better than going to each city to promote the film?"
The investor known as 'Mr. Zhang' clapped his hands suddenly and said, "That's really a wake-up call. You said that you are the top students of Beijing University. You are really good!" In fact,
there are already public buses with spray paint 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 boards were tied on both sides of the bus. However, both of these promotional methods have limitations, such as the production cost and cycle are very long, and they are also limited by rainy days. Their movie was released at the end of the year during the Lunar New Year, and most of the days were cloudy and rainy.
Until recently, the inkjet printer technology was introduced.
However, the promotional method of inkjet printing is still a new technology that has just been introduced from abroad, and the awareness and usage rate is 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 Beijing!
