Chapter 206
To sum up, Jian Li's senior year was most busy because of one thing.
That is the film adaptation of "The Legend of Star Bamboo".
Ever since Jian Li announced the film adaptation of "The Legend of the Star Bamboo", people from all walks of life have been using all kinds of tricks. Waiting for people at Jian Li's school every day is the least of the problems. Most people start with the people around Jian Li.
Jian Li is well-known in Peking University, but she does not live in the dormitory. Someone who is well-informed soon found out that the PHS store at the north gate of Peking University seems to have some relationship with Jian Li.
So Wang Shuai, who was not busy with his studies, was blocked in the store.
Wang Shuai secretly called Jian Li, and his voice was full of disbelief.
"Sister, do you know what they said? They said they could sign me as a star!"
Jian Li: ...
She almost forgot that there was a popular profession at that time, called talent scout.
There were several times when Jane Li walked through the alley near the Film Academy, and people would chase her for several blocks, urging her to audition, saying that she would definitely become famous.
Wang Shuai was delighted by the compliment and covered the microphone: "Sister, do you think I can really act in a movie? They said I look like Louis Koo!"
Like Louis Koo! Wang Shuai was overjoyed when he heard it.
Jian Li: “…That’s too much.”
Facing Wang Shuai's face, can you still go against your conscience and praise Louis Koo?
Wang Shuai was not convinced and muttered: "What's the matter? I am a little darker, but isn't Louis Koo also darker now? This is the masculinity of a man!"
Jian Li: "What? You don't want to open a PHS store anymore? Are you planning to become a celebrity?"
Wang Shuai: "Do celebrities make a lot of money?"
Jian Li thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many now anyway."
Sky-high pay for movies was something that happened more than ten years ago. Today, the salaries of film and television stars are still at a relatively average level.
As soon as he was told that he had no money, Wang Shuai lost interest: "Forget it, Louis Koo doesn't have to act in TV dramas."
He is not bad as Louis Koo selling PHS.
In the past one or two years, PHS has finally experienced a boom in colleges and universities. Of course, many PHS stores have opened around Peking University. The bigger the pie, the more people will share it.
Wang Shuai took the opportunity to open two more stores in Taocheng, but these two stores were no longer in partnership with Jian Li.
Wang Shuai earns more than his sister Wang Yunyun from his PHS store.
He seems to be born with a knack for doing business. Although he is young, he is very good at speaking.
Jian Li had seen him promote his products and couldn't help but sigh that this younger brother was a talented person.
No wonder he was sentenced the longest among the group of MLM personnel arrested in the last life - his performance must have been top-notch.
Jian Li was a senior and he was a junior, so it was time for him to graduate. Wang Shuai had plenty of time to spend on making money, so he ran back and forth between several PHS stores, and occasionally went out with a few classmates to sell some mysterious things.
Sun Cuifang has been in the capital for more than a year and looks much younger than when she was in Wangjiazhuang.
Her son is starting a business and her daughter is going abroad. If she goes back to Wangjiazhuang now, everyone will surely envy her.
But Sun Cuifang refused to go back. Not only did she refuse to go back, she also felt that it didn't matter whether the man came or not.
She always felt that if she didn't follow Wang Yuedong, she wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the city. God knows when Wang Yunyun took her on the train out of the province, it was her first time to leave the province.
Sun Cuifang was stunned for a long time, watching the scenery outside the window gradually change from a plain to hills, towns, and big cities...
She murmured, "It's so big."
She then took tentative steps, starting from looking after the store, to setting up her own stall to sell fried skewers. And now -
Sun Cuifang opened a small fried skewers shop.
Wang Mengmei was very puzzled and asked her with a frown what she was thinking.
"If you want to open a store, come to my place. I've mentioned it several times."
Wang Mengmei knew that Sun Cuifang was different from Li Xia. She would never be able to use Li Xia. But Sun Cuifang was efficient and had good sense. Wang Mengmei was ready to let Sun Cuifang work as a store manager.
Sun Cuifang politely declined the olive branch extended by Wang Mengmei.
"Second sister, there's really no need."
She is not like Wang Mengmei, who would think about going further after taking a step forward.
She just hopes that she can run a stable small shop and spend the rest of her life running it.
Sun Cuifang said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I envied the tofu seller in the east of our city."
It is said that the three greatest pains in life are riding a boat, working iron and selling tofu.
But Sun Cuifang's family was extremely poor. Her father was an old fortune teller who made a living by calculating for people in exchange for rice and grain. Later, during a special period, he was dragged out to fight and died in a few years. Her mother remarried and went to Xinjiang when she was thirteen, leaving her alone in her hometown.
Sun Cuifang recalled her childhood when her father went to the city to do fortune-telling for people and always bought a piece of tofu when he came back in the evening.
Put the hot tofu in a hot pot and cook it, then leave a large piece aside and eat it hot.
At that time, Sun Cuifang envied those who opened their own shops, thinking that if they could open a shop, they would definitely be able to eat well.
Until now, Sun Cuifang's biggest goal in life is to open a store.
She doesn't want to work for others or make a lot of money, she just wants to be her own boss.
Wang Mengmei was silent for a long time, and finally gave her newly purchased store to Sun Cuifang to open a store.
Sun Cuifang opened a store, and Wang Yuedong's wife and children were all in the capital. He was worried about her and came from time to time. After coming a few times, he felt less and less like going home.
But if he doesn't go home, what will Zhao Chunlan do?
Not to mention leaving my mother at home to be taken care of by Wang Yuexi, he would not do it even if Wang Yuexi was willing.
The couple was stuck on this issue again, and finally it was Wang Shuai who helped them out.
"It's no big deal. I plan to buy a big house and bring grandma and you over!"
Wang Yuedong raised his eyebrows: "How old is your grandma? She won't come!"
Wang Shuai: "That's what you said. She definitely won't come."
If it were him, it might not be the same.
Wang Yuedong: …
Wang Shuai acted quickly. He did not discuss the matter with his family. He just called Wang Yunyun who was far away in the UK to report the application.
With Wang Yunyun's permission, Wang Shuai took out a mortgage and bought a large four-bedroom apartment on the first floor, which was a ten-minute walk from the small house bought by Wang Yunyun.
After getting the house, Wang Shuai just went to Wangjiazhuang once and brought Zhao Chunlan in without any hesitation.
The wrinkles on Zhao Chunlan's face were all blossoming from smiling, and she told everyone she met that she was going to the capital to enjoy the blessing of her grandchildren.
"My child has bought his own house now. He said he bought the first floor specifically for my convenience!"
Zhao Chunlan was arrogant. Many people said that she spoiled Wang Shuai over the years and that Wang Shuai would have to go to jail sooner or later.
What now?
She, Zhao Chunlan, received the filial piety from her grandson!
Wang Mengmei was also happy that Zhao Chunlan had come to the capital. Wang Yuedong and Sun Cuifang were busy with the store, and if she was free, she would take Zhao Chunlan to visit scenic spots.
Zhao Chunlan rested along the way, and when Wang Mengmei asked her to go back, she refused.
"I spent so much money to buy the ticket, I won't leave until I've seen enough."
Zhao Chunlan looked at everything around her greedily, as if she wanted to engrave all the scenery in her mind.
Her life, Zhao Chunlan, is truly worth it.
Although Wang Yuedong's family has not yet moved their registered permanent residence, people in his hometown think it is a long way to go.
"Who would have thought that this guy Wang Shuai would end up like this?"
If a few years ago, people's envy of Wang Yuedong and his wife was mixed with jealousy, now there is no jealousy at all.
Because everyone clearly realized that they could no longer see the Wang family’s taillights.
…
Wang Shuai informed Jian Li of the news, and Jian Li couldn't help feeling distressed after hanging up the phone.
She herself did not expect that the film and television rights of "The Legend of Star Bamboo" would be so popular.
Jiang Rou looked at her strangely: "Don't you have a clear understanding of your popularity?"
Jian Li's third work did not receive as much response in China as the first two, but it was a huge success overseas!
Especially in Japan and South Korea, the companies responsible for overseas publishing even spent a lot of money to invite Jian Li to sign books.
The trip was not possible because Jian Li was busy with her studies and the film adaptation of "The Legend of Star Bamboo".
Jiang Rou: "The setting of your first work is so eye-catching, and many of your subsequent works are based on it."
To some extent, it is also the founding of a new school of thought.
Therefore, Jian Li announced that "The Legend of Star Bamboo" would be adapted into a film, and it has now become the biggest pie in the industry.
Jian Li shuddered: "Sister Xiaorou, you are exaggerating."
What the biggest pie in the industry? She was terrified just hearing that.
Jiang Rou glanced at her calmly and said, "This is just the beginning. According to your request, you have the final say in casting and you have to participate in the entire filming process... Wait until the film and television company decides, and then you can see how many people contact you."
Actors, actresses, agencies...
Jian Li: ...
After being given a shot of prevention by Jiang Rou, Jian Li returned to school and learned from Professor Dong that the investor had already found her.
Jian Li said numbly: "Teacher, don't tell me you're going to treat me to dinner too, right?"
There have been too many people asking for dinner lately. It's a good thing that Jian Li is very vigilant, otherwise, it's possible that someone would get the author drunk and then trick the author into signing all the film and television copyrights...
Professor Dong laughed and said, "I'm not asking for favors. I'm just asking you when the filming will start. Then you two sisters can come with me to see the scene."
Professor Dong expressed his admiration for Jian Li's "unfocused work" in an open-minded way.
"I talked to a few people about your third work last time I went to a meeting. They all said that you drew it very well, especially the national treasure part. The story was very touching, and the explanation of the cultural relics was also very good."
Jian Li: "...Teacher, the last meeting you attended, wasn't it the one at the museum?"
If she remembered correctly, it was a meeting that brought together all the big names in the field of history in the country! The main purpose was to discuss the progress of the museum's revision!
Professor Dong: "Isn't this good? Some of your seniors have also said that we should have grasped things in the cultural field earlier, so that many people will not be unfamiliar with our own culture. Some foreigners may think it is something from Japan or Korea when they see it."
"We cannot always rely on official channels to spread culture. Comics, novels, and games can all be used as a medium for dissemination as long as they do not alter history."
Professor Dong changed his joke and said, "We who study history should know the saying, 'carry on the legacy of the sages.' Who says that we have to carry on the legacy in a rigid way?"
After saying this to Jian Li, Professor Dong asked Jian Li if there was anything she could help with.
"I have also served as a consultant in some historical dramas in recent years, so I have some connections in this area."
Otherwise, no one would find your head.
"Do you need me to find you some reliable teams?"
Jian Li: "No need, teacher, I've almost decided."
The film and television rights to "The Legend of the Star Bamboo" were acquired by a large company that Jian Li had heard of throughout her life.
In the past few years, the other party has produced many critically acclaimed TV series and brought out many famous male and female stars.
Jian Li met with the person in charge of the other company and reiterated her position.
“I want to follow the group throughout the process, and no one can change my content without my consent.”
"Of course."
The partner smiled and said, "Not only that, we have a better proposal."
"We're going to hold an audition."
