"If I hadn't complained to my former classmates about this homework that day, I wouldn't have known that our homework was different?" Xu Lichen cursed angrily, "Fuck, do you know how much more homework Class 5 has than Class 8!"
"Not much." Zhang Yansheng said calmly, "Less than the homework in our class. Go and check out Class 1. They have so much homework that it will shatter your worldview."
Xu Lichen glared at her: "I want to go back to Class 8 when school starts!"
"Okay. Just go and tell the teacher..." Zhang Yansheng twitched his lips and revealed a sneer of contempt, "I am just a scum, I am a human feces machine, I don't deserve to be in Class 5, please let me go back to Class 8."
The video shows a moment when the network seems to be stuck.
"Zhang! Yan! Sheng!" Xu Lichen was so angry that he almost flew off his feet. "Every time you contact me, you either hit me or scold me, or you just want to piss me off to death, right? Right?"
Zhang Yansheng laughed: "It really isn't this time."
Xu Lichen slammed the table and said, "Speak human language. What do you want from me?"
He added: "It's definitely not a good thing!"
Zhang Yansheng rested his chin on his hand and said, "That's really good news. Xu Lichen, let me ask you, how much money do you have?"
Many girls want his money and his looks, but no girl dares to ask him directly how much money he has.
Xu Lichen: “Huh?”
Zhang Yansheng said: "I have a very good project on hand now, and I want you to invest in it together."
For a teenager who is still in the "why the hell do I have so much homework during the winter vacation" stage of life, suddenly telling him that I have a project and I want him to invest in it together is a big jump in the topic. Xu Lichen was inevitably confused: "Invest in what? What the hell?"
Zhang Yansheng pointed at his mouth and told him, "Invest."
The video frame froze again, this time focusing on the boy's lost and confused eyes.
After a long while, Xu Lichen said weakly: "Zhang Yansheng, I feel like you... are like a blind box. Before you open it, you have no idea what will come out..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's have a face-to-face meeting." Zhang Yansheng looked at his watch. At this time, some office workers had just returned home and had just finished dinner. "I'll be at Deer Horn Coffee in Riley Plaza in about 40 minutes. It's something you will definitely be interested in. You'll regret it if you don't come."
After saying that, he hung up.
"Hello? Hey? Hey?" Xu Lichen stared at the phone screen. "Fuck?"
What is something that he would definitely be interested in? Does Zhang Yansheng know what he is interested in? Don't you regret it yet? Where does she get the confidence to think she knows him so well?
Humph, when I go there later, I must act a little cool. When speaking, raise your chin a little and tell her coldly, sorry, I'm not interested in this thing.
…
"What the hell? What the hell? What the hell? What the hell?" Xu Lichen performed a large-scale "What the hell" scene at the Deer Horn Coffee Shop in Riley Square. "What is this? What on earth is this? Hey, don't turn it off, let me watch it again!"
"This is a three-minute movie." Zhang Yansheng turned off the player on her laptop, opened her TV, and jumped directly to a certain page. "The movie is called Out of the Solar System, and the author of the original novel is Dayang. Do you know him?"
Unfortunately, Xu Lichen didn’t know Dayang at that time. Because although he likes watching science fiction movies and dramas very much, poor students generally don’t! look! Book!
"I don't know!" Xu Lichen said loudly without any shame, and kept asking, "Is this made in China? Is it really made in China?"
"Of course. Didn't you see that all the actors are Chinese?" Zhang Yansheng said helplessly, "Let me tell you this. Da Yang is... known as the number one in domestic science fiction literature."
"Let me tell you the story of Out of the Solar System..."
An hour later, Xu Lichen slammed the table and said, "Vote, vote, vote! Tell me how to vote! How much should I vote?"
Zhang Yansheng said, "I don't know how much money you have, but I think this project is good and worth investing in, so I wanted to tell you."
"You are very loyal. I will remember this!" Xu Lichen asked, "How much do you plan to invest?" "I can come up with 4 million myself," Zhang Yansheng told him, "I plan to get 6 million from my dad and about 10 million from my grandma."
"Okay." Xu Lichen said, "Let me think about it... I probably have? Five or six hundred? I'll tell my dad that I want to change my motorcycle and ask him to give me another two or three hundred. Then I'll tell my mom the same thing... It shouldn't be a problem to get a thousand together. Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhang Yansheng looked at them dimly, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can't you just tell them you want to invest?"
Xu Lichen laughed: "Who among them would believe me?"
But this way of asking for money is like a primary school student who receives the same money collection notice and asks his father for 20 yuan and his mother for 20 yuan, and then he has 20 yuan to play games in the Internet cafe.
"So even though you are so arrogant at ordinary times, you are actually just a child in the eyes of your family?" Zhang Yansheng stared at him.
Xu Lichen's smile froze on his face.
"Besides," Zhang Yansheng continued, "In fact, I feel like I am just a child in my heart, so I have to do things in a child's way?"
Xu Lichen felt like his knees were hit by countless arrows and he felt so weak that he wanted to kneel down. He forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? Aren't we just in the first year of high school? If we're not children, then are we adults?"
He’s really a child, Zhang Yansheng thought.
Zhang Yansheng couldn’t even be sure whether she had really grown up when she was twenty-one years old in her previous life? I don’t know whether Xu Lichen, who was abroad at that time, had grown up or not?
Zhang Yansheng's fingertips gently stroked the notebook keyboard, and he felt something he had never felt before.
Suddenly, this matter is not just as simple as enjoying the benefits of rebirth.
Zhang Yansheng felt that this matter had a different meaning to her.
She closed the notebook and said, "That's all I have to tell you. Go back and collect the money. When you have it, tell me."
When she stood up, Xu Lichen called her. He hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Give me a copy of your t!"
Zhang Yansheng looked at him, the corners of his mouth curled up: "I'll send it to you when I get home."
The next day, Zhang Yansheng cleaned up the building and Zhang Huan exclaimed, "Huh!"
Zhang Yansheng felt that her father had become more childish these days and she didn't want to pay much attention to him.
Zhang Heling exclaimed, "Sister, you look like an adult today!"
Zhang Yansheng wore formal clothes, put on makeup, and tied her hair up. At first glance, he doesn't look like a student. Only by looking more closely can you see the youthfulness of her face.
Zhang Huan ate breakfast with a smile on his face. After breakfast, he took Zhang Yansheng to the headquarters of Zhang Group.
Old Mrs. Zhang, dressed in a smart professional suit, had made time for Zhang Yansheng and even arranged a meeting room for her.
The secretary helped Zhang Yansheng connect her laptop to the projector and then left. Only the old lady and Zhang Huan were left in the meeting room.
Zhang Yansheng is very familiar with both of these people. He can talk to one of them easily and even act a little bit coquettishly, and he is not afraid of the other one even if he yells at him.
Now both men were looking at her with smiles and expectant eyes. But when Zhang Yansheng slid the mouse to t, he clearly felt his palms sweating due to nervousness.
Because she knew what she was about to do was important to her.
What she was about to do would create a qualitative split between her present self and her previous life.
Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath and double-clicked on the t she had prepared.
"If you pay attention to famous foreign science fiction movies, you will find a very unique phenomenon." Zhang Yansheng said calmly, "You can't see any Chinese in these science fiction movies. It's very interesting that Chinese people, who account for more than 20% of the world's population, will not appear in Western science fiction movies. Because Westerners tacitly believe that Chinese people cannot appear, because Westerners have a stereotype that Chinese people are not good at science fiction. If they appear in a science fiction movie, it will make the whole movie awkward."
"But are Chinese people really not interested in science fiction? Do Chinese people like to watch science fiction movies? Is there a market for science fiction movies in China?" Zhang Yansheng pressed the remote control, turned a page, and the first set of data appeared.
"These are the global and Chinese box office figures for foreign science fiction blockbusters in recent years. It is not difficult to see that the Chinese box office has made a huge contribution to the outstanding performance of these blockbusters."
"Unfortunately, all these money-making science fiction movies are foreign films. Up to now, we in China can hardly say that there is any science fiction blockbuster that can really be shown off. There is no science fiction blockbuster that can compare with Hollywood."
"But this is not a market problem. The total box office revenue of Chinese mainland movies is now as high as 30 billion yuan. Who is the biggest winner in the market?"
Zhang Yansheng switched pages, and a new set of data revealed the answer: "——Science fiction!"
"Our market likes science fiction. As long as it is a science fiction movie of a reasonable level, it can complete the task of making money from the Chinese market. In fact, our market likes science fiction movies so much that it has reached the point of thirst. So much so that those that are not particularly outstanding or even a bit bad, such as this one, the fifth in the series, have a very bad reputation abroad, but it still reaped 1.5 billion at the box office in China! The total box office of the entire series of five movies in China exceeded 6 billion, and it is called a money-making monster. And it is completely unpredictable how much an excellent science fiction blockbuster can make at the box office in China."
"From this, we can see that science fiction movies have an extremely large and even unfathomable market in China. And for such a long time, China has not produced a sci-fi blockbuster. In fact, it is caused by many factors. Policies, humanities, technology, etc."
"But now, these bottlenecks are melting away. In recent years, the review system of radio and television has been constantly aligned with international standards, and domestic special effects companies have reached a level comparable to that of international companies. The factors that stifled domestic science fiction in the past are receding."
“So at this point in time, Director Xie Dong chose Out of the Solar System.”
“Why Out of the Solar System instead of some other novel? I have to say, if I were Xie Dong, I would also choose Out of the Solar System.”
"Because Out of the Solar System is the classic masterpiece of its author Dayang."
"And who is Dayang?"
"He is known as the No. 1 Chinese Science Fiction Writer!"
"It can be said that in China, anyone who reads science fiction has read Dayang's works. Dayang has the largest number of science fiction readers in China!"
As Zhang Yansheng continued to tell the story, the expressions on Old Lady Zhang and Zhang Huan's faces as if they were watching a children's performance gradually disappeared.
They were gradually attracted by what Zhang Yansheng was saying and began to listen attentively.
