Chapter 188: Unexpected Person
Zhang Nuanxin looked at Cheng Xuyuan, feeling a little helpless.
Regarding the matter discussed with Cheng Xuyuan this time, she thought of many possibilities, but she never expected that such a problem would arise:
Cheng Xuyuan actually wants to adapt it himself!
This movie script is totally different from the novel!
What's more, Director Xie is also accustomed to having screenwriters he is familiar with adapt the works, so that they can work together more smoothly.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled seriously and said, "Sister-in-law, I adapted the play "The Pursuit of Happiness"."
“I feel like no one knows my own work better than I do.”
"Please tell Director Xie about my insistence."
Zhang Nuanxin looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who was smiling but unwilling to give in, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll tell Director Xie about your idea later."
"See what he means."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I have the script of the play "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in my hand. I can send it to Director Xie."
Zhang Nuanxin said, "Okay, then just give me the script later and I'll send it to Director Xie."
Li Tuo and Chen Jianxun stood aside without saying a word. After the two of them finished talking, Li Tuo smiled and said, "Xuyuan, we have almost finished talking about other things. Let's go eat."
"Yes, let's go eat." Chen Jianxun touched his stomach and said, "I was busy reading novels this morning, and my stomach is growling with hunger!"
Hearing Chen Jianxun say this, Li Tuo chuckled and said, "Who made you so engrossed in reading? If I hadn't called you, you would probably have been full from reading the novel."
"Let's go and eat!"
Li Tuo's family prepared only one dish for this meal, which was stewed chicken.
The stewed chicken is fresh, tender and fragrant, and the potatoes are soft and tasty. It is really a delicious dish.
Li Tuo brought up a large pot of potatoes and chicken, and took out a bottle of white wine in bulk, and said with a smile: "Xuyuan, this is the Erguotou I just bought today."
"For the three of us, half a pound each is just right."
Cheng Xuyuan smelled the rich aroma and couldn't help but said to Zhang Nuanxin: "Thank you, sister-in-law, we are really blessed this time."
Zhang Nuanxin smiled and said, "Xuyuan, it's inconvenient for you to go to school now. If you want to satisfy your craving in the future, just come to my house and play."
After two glasses of wine, Zhang Nuanxin suddenly asked, "Xuyuan, have you ever thought about adapting your "Desire" into a movie?"
Cheng Xuyuan knew that Zhang Nuanxin was now a famous director, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the play "Desire" is not suitable for adaptation into a movie."
Although Zhang Nuanxin didn't drink, she sat at the small table and chatted with the three of them.
She really likes Cheng Xuyuan's "Desire" and, inspired by Director Xie, she also wants to bring "Desire" to the screen.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuyuan refused outright. Although this guy is talented, why does he always play by his own rules? Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, although Desire is good, it mainly talks about family matters. If it is adapted into a movie, it will not be long enough and may become a half-cooked meal."
“I think it’s more suitable for TV series.”
Zhang Nuanxin finally understood what Cheng Xuyuan meant. She smiled and said, "Xuyuan, it seems that you have done a lot of research in this area!"
"Come, sister-in-law will give you a toast."
The meal at Li Tuo's house was very enjoyable. When Cheng Xu left, he was already a little shaky.
After drinking half a pound of wine, Cheng Xuyuan seemed to be drunk.
Chen Jianxun, who had just shouted that he wanted to follow Cheng Xuyuan to read books, finally rode his own bike towards the dormitory of Yenching University.
He had also drunk a lot and now just wanted to find a place to rest.
Cheng Xuyuan returned home, drank two sips of hot water from the thermos, and soon fell asleep.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
I don’t know how long it was before a knock on the door woke Cheng Xuyuan up.
He glanced at the sky and found that the sun was already setting.
He had to go back to school in the evening, so Cheng Xuyuan got up quickly.
However, when Cheng Xuyuan opened the door, he found that the person standing at the door was Qin Wenhui.
Hey, why did this arrogant brother-in-law come to see me? It seems that we don't have a very deep friendship.
Could it be that he came here this time to talk to me on behalf of his father-in-law?
However, wouldn't it be best to let Fang Yuanfeng do this kind of thing? Just as Cheng Xuyuan was guessing wildly in his mind, he heard Qin Wenhui say, "Xuyuan, the place where you live is really hard to find."
Qin Wenhui said this just to ease the awkwardness between the two people when they met.
It wasn't difficult for him to find where Cheng Xuyuan lived.
However, it is a bit difficult for him to make up his mind to come to Cheng Xuyuan in person.
No matter why Qin Wenhui came, he was a guest, so Cheng Xuyuan politely said to Qin Wenhui: "Brother, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Qin Wenhui said as he entered the room, "Xuyuan, I came here this time because of something. Manager Wang from our company wants to discuss something with you. When are you free?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother, do you know what you want to talk to me about?"
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Qin Wenhui.
Qin Wenhui said: "We are a foreign trade company, mainly engaged in various foreign trade businesses."
"But, in addition to foreign trade, we also undertake other tasks. For example, this time, we are recommending some literary works to our friends in Hong Kong."
At this point, Qin Wenhui said, "Our manager Wang watched your play and wanted to recommend it to you."
"If this works, your "The Pursuit of Happiness" can be published in Hong Kong."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard Qin Wenhui say this, he suddenly understood something.
In Hong Kong, there are also journals that introduce mainland literature, and these journals regularly publish mainland works.
However, in general, the introduction of works is the responsibility of the Cultural Association and has little to do with foreign trade companies.
This time, Qin Wenhui and his team should be able to do it easily.
Cheng Xuyuan would definitely not object to making money from his works again.
After all, who would complain about having too much money?
So he smiled and said, "Brother, you really introduced me to a great thing."
"Please set a time. I can do it anytime! But how about the payment?"
Qin Wenhui was stunned for a moment, as if he just realized that he needed to pay for the manuscript. He said hesitantly, "Xuyuan, let's talk about the manuscript fee in person later."
"Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless.
Qin Wenhui must have forgotten about his royalties.
If that's the case, then there's no need to talk.
"Okay, then let's do as you say. When is a good time for us to meet?"
Qin Wenhui nodded and said, "Let's set it for 4 o'clock this Tuesday afternoon. Come to our company and I'll write you the address later."
As long as he is paid for his work, Cheng Xuyuan doesn't mind walking a little further.
He smiled and agreed to Qin Wenhui's request, but when the business was over, the two seemed to have nothing more to say.
After all, the two of them were not even friends.
"Xuyuan, what are you going to do next?" Qin Wenhui asked casually.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I will prepare to go back to school later."
"Okay, go back to school." Qin Wenhui waved his hand and said, "Let's find a place to have a good chat later."
After sending Qin Wenhui downstairs, Cheng Xuyuan saw a black sedan, which was rarely seen, parked downstairs.
At this time, there were not only a lot of children gathered around the car, but also some adults standing outside watching.
For these people, cars are certainly not that rare and can be seen on the streets at ordinary times.
However, it is quite rare to see cars coming to their tube-shaped building.
Seeing Qin Wenhui walking towards the car, Cheng Xuyuan felt a sense of emotion. It seemed that this brother-in-law was extremely high-profile.
This car is obviously not his, but he can drive it freely.
As the car drove away, some people who were there to watch the fun looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
Although Cheng Xuyuan does not often appear in the tube building, this does not prevent him from being the most well-known person in the tube building.
A student of Yenching University and a well-known writer!
"Xuyuan, who came just now?" Niu Wanjia and Cheng Xuyuan are most familiar with each other, so there is no pressure to ask.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Niu, a friend who works in a foreign trade company."
"No wonder, only those units can drive this kind of car." Niu Wanjia said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I drank too much last night."
"I got up a little late this morning. I came to look for you, but you were already out."
"How about we chat tonight?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled at Niu Wanjia and said, "Brother Niu, I have to go to school later. How about this, how about we meet next Sunday?"
"That's fine." Niu Wanjia said, "When your "Desire" was published, many people commented on it."
"Our magazine alone has received quite a few commentary articles."
“Even several big guys who haven’t written a review for a long time have written a review for you!”
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Niu, my writing is not good, I need more criticism from you."
After chatting with Niu Wanjia for a while and saying hello to a few neighbors he knew, Cheng Xuyuan headed upstairs.
"Xiao Cheng is really capable. Among his friends, there is even one who drives a car!"
"Haha, if you ask me, with Xiao Cheng's performance, it won't take long before he can get in a car."
"His book 'Desire' is good."
"You probably don't know this, but the People's Art Theatre will officially start performing The Pursuit of Happyness next week. I heard from people who watched the audition that the rehearsal went quite well."
…
Cheng Xuyuan naturally couldn't hear what his neighbors were saying behind his back.
He simply packed his things and rode his bicycle out of the compound.
However, when he walked out of the Nancheng District Literary Association, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little hesitant.
It's still early to go to school now. Should I go find Shen Yumo to talk about getting a divorce certificate, or go find Meng Dezhi and ask him to help push it forward?
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan decided to go find Meng Dezhi.
It’s best not to talk about things like divorce in front of Shen Yumo’s family.
It seems a bit inappropriate for him to come to my house and ask for a divorce like this.
I should go to Shen Yumo's workplace and talk to her in private while she is at work.
At that moment, Cheng Xuyuan rode his bicycle to Meng Dezhi's house.
However, what made Cheng Xuyuan depressed was that not only Meng Dezhi was not at home, but even Mo Yunqi was not at home.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was looking for someone but couldn't find him, had no choice but to ride his bicycle towards the school as it was getting dark.
More than half an hour later, Cheng Xuyuan arrived at the south gate of the school.
Just as he was about to ride in, he heard someone shouting, "Cheng Xuyuan."
Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Shen Yulin sitting in a Jeep 212, waving at him with a smile.
This is the first update today, please support me.
