Chapter 295 Yu Mo, Cheng Xuyuan is going abroad!
Wan Fang has been taking care of Mr. Wan.
This time, Mr. Wan invited Cheng Xuyuan to his house for dinner, and she was the one who cooked.
She was full of curiosity about this young junior fellow apprentice.
After all, this junior fellow not only achieved great success at a young age, but was also actively invited by Mr. Miller to study abroad. Such treatment is not something that ordinary people can have.
However, faced with such treatment, Cheng Xuyuan chose to refuse.
If I were asked to study in the United States, would I refuse? Probably not!
You might be thinking about how to make good use of this opportunity to increase your knowledge.
However, Cheng Xuyuan did not play by the rules. He firmly refused. When his father asked him if he had any concerns, his reason was that he was not used to the food there and there was nothing much to learn.
There is nothing to learn in the United States. Is Cheng Xuyuan kidding? Elder Wan looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked calm, and picked up the teacup and said, "The level of drama there is still very high."
"Especially on Broadway, if you go and learn a little bit, I think it will be a great improvement for you."
"Besides, there are many benefits to studying abroad for a few years."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Teacher, I know what you said, but I still don't want to go."
"I'm not a drama director, just a script writer."
"I think that for people like me, the best way to learn is actually to think more. As for the rest, they are useless."
"I really don't want to go."
Elder Wan looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked tired, and finally smiled and said, "This is your decision, I won't say anything."
"But Xiao Cheng, you still have to think carefully about this when you go back."
"By the way, what are you going to do about Miller's two suggestions for your script?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"
Wan Laodao: "Miller's buyout will pose the least risk to you."
"Although the revenue is long-term, you really have no idea how a play is doing on Broadway."
"Also, if the drama doesn't work well here, the income won't be as much as the three thousand dollars."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that what Mr. Wan said was all from a perspective that was beneficial to him.
While thanking Master Wan, he smiled and said, "Teacher, all the situations you mentioned are objectively existing."
"Getting the money directly is undoubtedly the best way for me right now."
"But I took the money directly, which undoubtedly put all the risk points on Mr. Miller."
"To be honest, this is something I don't want to see anyway."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "Teacher, I don't want my partners to face risks alone."
"So, I'll just choose to share the profits from the performance."
Mr. Wan did not expect that Cheng Xuyuan would make such a choice. What he just said was indeed for Cheng Xuyuan's sake.
Because of the profit sharing from the performance, it is very likely that Cheng Xuyuan will get nothing due to the failure of Mr. Miller's rehearsal.
However, Broadway is far away in the United States, and it is very difficult for Cheng Xuyuan to check the situation.
besides……
"You, you, a lot of your ideas are a little hard for me to understand."
"But the final decision on your own affairs is still yours."
"Xiao Cheng, when you go back, you should think about it carefully and choose a plan that is beneficial to you."
Hearing what Master Wan said, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Teacher, I know you are doing this for my own good."
"I will think about it carefully after I return."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's sincere look, Elder Wan changed the subject and said, "Two days ago, an old friend of mine came over from Hong Kong and heard that your "Things about the Ming Dynasty" is becoming more and more popular."
"Today Evening News is already in great demand."
"The sales volume has now reached 350,000 copies. Being able to sell so many copies in Hong Kong is almost the limit for the newspaper."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I don't know about this yet. They haven't settled my monthly royalties yet."
“But I think it’s about the same.”
Wan Lao said: "You should explore your potential in history more."
"But what's the matter with you writing martial arts novels?"
"My old friend said that your book Zhu Xian is also very famous in Hong Kong now."
"According to what he joked, some kids in Hong Kong are playing around, using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms on one hand and the Divine Sword Lightning Controlling Technique on the other..."
Listening to Elder Wan's words, two quarreling children appeared in Cheng Xuyuan's mind. One was yelling the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, while the other was holding a small stick and saying, "Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transformed into divine thunder. The magnificent power of heaven, guided by the sword!"
This kind of picture is beautiful just thinking about it.
But my work was only serialized in Wenhui Newspaper, how did these kids know about it? "Teacher, I was invited to write this, and I just wrote it for fun. Who knew it would do so well?"
"Should I ask Wenhui Daily to help me increase my royalties?"
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's jokes, Mr. Wan felt helpless.
Although this student is young, he is very talented.
If I say that I became famous at a young age, then this student is famous at a young age and is also multi-talented.
"Xiao Cheng, if you occasionally write a martial arts novel, the teacher won't say anything."
"But you can't forget your main job!"
"I heard that you haven't produced any works recently."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Teacher, Our College Entrance Examination was only published two months ago."
“I’ve written quite a lot this year.”
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's quibbling, Elder Wan smiled and said, "I know how much you have written. I just want to remind you to distinguish the primary from the secondary."
"By the way, do you have any ideas recently?"
When Cheng Xuyuan saw the teacher's expression become serious, his mind started working quickly.
He felt that if he had no preparation at all, it would be hard to explain, so he smiled and said, "Teacher, after my "Insidious" was published, I felt a little unsatisfied."
“So I decided to write another one.”
"This time I plan to write a spy story about Northeast China." As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan began to explain the general plot of "The Cliff".
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's explanation, Mr. Wan's expression gradually became serious.
From time to time, he would ask Cheng Xuyuan some questions.
After Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, Elder Wan said with a hint of emotion: "Xiao Cheng, I feel that in terms of scripts and novels, you are still suitable for writing novels."
"But do you really have the time to write "The Cliff"?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "That's just over 200,000 words. If I write a little bit every day, I can basically finish it before the end of the year."
Mr. Wan waved his hand and said, "You, don't be in a hurry to produce your work."
"This is a good idea, we need to take our time."
"Let me tell you, in the eyes of many people, you are already very productive."
"Okay, let's go eat. Your sister has already prepared the meal."
Mr. Wan’s dishes are mostly light, but this time, in order to make Cheng Xuyuan eat well, he specially prepared a braised pork.
Faced with the teacher's cordial invitation, Cheng Xuyuan naturally could not refuse and started to enjoy it with a smile.
If the news that Cheng Xuyuan was invited to study abroad was originally only circulated in universities such as Yenching University, Cheng Xuyuan was too famous and this matter attracted too much attention.
More and more people knew about this news.
For example, Zhang Dening got the news from Yenching Literature and Art.
On this day, she was supposed to go to the Normal University to find a few students from the literature club to revise her manuscript, but what she heard most was the news that Cheng Xuyuan was going abroad.
That’s right, as the news spread, it turned into news that Cheng Xuyuan was going to study abroad.
When some people spread news, they inadvertently add their own understanding of the news directly to the news.
So, she hurried to the office, picked up her teacup and took a sip of water before saying to Zou Yan: "Teacher Zou, I'm afraid we will have one less author to commission from now on."
"What's wrong?" Zou Yanlai was startled.
Because from what he said, it seemed like something big was going to happen! Zhang Dening realized that he had said something wrong and quickly explained, "It's Cheng Xuyuan, he's going abroad!"
“Study abroad!”
Cheng Xuyuan is going abroad!
Zou Yanlai's eyes suddenly widened. He had a genuine liking for the author Cheng Xuyuan.
This young man is not only capable, but also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world and very comfortable to deal with.
If he wants to study abroad, it will be difficult to get commissions to write for him in the future.
When Zhang Dening came over, Shen Yumo focused his attention on Zhang Dening.
Hearing the news that Cheng Xuyuan was going abroad, he couldn't help but ask, "De Ning, is Cheng Xuyuan really going abroad?"
The news that Cheng Xuyuan was going abroad made Shen Yumo's mind a little confused.
She never thought that the first thing she heard when she got to work today was such news.
If Cheng Xuyuan went abroad, I was afraid that the relationship between him and me would become even more...
Zhang Dening said: "Yu Mo, this news is true."
"I heard from several students at the Normal University that a play written by Cheng Xuyuan was highly regarded by Mr. Miller, an American playwright who came to our place for exchanges."
"Mr. Miller thinks highly of Cheng Xuyuan's literary talent and invites him to study abroad in the United States."
"Also, Mr. Miller said that he has many friends in the United States who work at Ivy League universities, and he can recommend Cheng Xuyuan to go there."
"Once Cheng Xuyuan goes there, we won't have to worry about his living expenses or anything like that."
After Zhang Dening finished speaking, he enviously said, "What a good thing this is, Cheng Xuyuan has caught up with it. Who can you complain to?"
Zou Yanlai said: "This is not catching up, it's Cheng Xuyuan who has this talent."
"De Ning, even though you are an editor now, I think you still can't relax on your writing."
"Look at how many senior colleagues we have in our company. They all do both as editors and authors."
“There are even some seniors who, when there were not enough submissions to the magazine, just wrote it directly.”
Zou Yan's words left Zhang Dening speechless.
She looked towards Shen Yumo, wanting to ask this good sister for help, but Shen Yumo seemed to be in a trance.
At this moment, Shen Yumo had only one question in his mind, that is, after he went abroad to study, he and he really drifted apart and had completely forgotten each other!
