Chapter 308: This guy Zhang Xuyuan has become disdainful of others
Chen Huaikai's persistence not only convinced Xie Tieli, but also eventually convinced Wang Hai.
As the head of Yanying Studio, Wang Hai attaches great importance to this film.
The reason why he hesitated this time was because of that kiss.
He felt that this kiss was a bit too much, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this kiss was the finishing touch.
Similarly, it is also a breakthrough in film shooting.
So he took the script, sought the opinions of several bigwigs in his factory, and then began to formally prepare for the filming of this movie.
The director chosen was Chen Huaikai, and the entire team had to be prepared by Chen Huaikai himself.
For this team, Chen Huaikai does not need to recruit people from outside, as Yanying Studio itself is full of talented people.
So quickly, he made a list of several auxiliary positions.
After this list is officially confirmed, the film shooting team is officially established.
The name of the film was finally determined to be "Lush Mountain Love".
Although Huangshan Romance could also be filmed, he still felt that Cheng Xuyuan's description of the scene was good, and finally decided on the name "Lush Mountain Romance".
The crew has set up the stage and the next step is to select the actors.
This drama itself has a special meaning.
In addition, Wang Hai showed the script to the big names, so it can be said that word of mouth spread quickly.
Many people know that once this movie is made, it will definitely cause quite a stir.
For a time, many people began to visit Chen Huaikai, whether they were recommended or volunteered, all of them were full of confidence.
While Chen Huaikai was busy with casting, Cheng Xuyuan continued with his college life.
As New Year’s Day approaches, the new year is about to arrive.
Apart from writing, Cheng Xuyuan is busy coping with his current exams.
For him, the exam is not a big problem.
After all, what he is learning now is already deeply imprinted in his mind, so when taking the exam, he just needs to take it out.
However, an exam is an exam after all, and he needs to answer the paper.
Fang Yuqing, who has always been a good student, also spent most of her time reviewing for the exam.
So Cheng Xuyuan would often go to the library and stay there for most of the day, accompanying this studious girl.
However, he spent most of his time in the library writing novels, so he wrote very quickly. In just half a month, he only had the ending left of "The Cliff", a book of more than 200,000 words.
"Am I stupid?" Fang Yuqing asked Cheng Xuyuan a little annoyed, rubbing her forehead with her little hand on the way to the cafeteria after coming out of the library.
"How is that possible? If you were stupid, how did you get into Yenching University? Your self-deprecating words have brought the school's heavyweight status to a shattering state!" Cheng Xuyuan joked with a smile.
"But...but why is it that I review a lot of things several times and think I remember them very well, but I forget them the moment I turn around?"
"Look at you again. You don't even need to review, but you remember every word for it." Fang Yuqing put down her fingers and looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a pitiful look.
Cheng Xuyuan thought, can I say that this is related to my previous life? He also knew that Fang Yuqing was seeking comfort for herself.
So he smiled and said, "Hey, don't worry about it. In your family, who doesn't praise you for your intelligence?"
"The reason why you feel like you've read and then forgotten something is because you don't like some of the content, so you don't remember it very clearly."
"Don't worry, I think you will be able to pass this exam."
As the two were talking and walking towards the cafeteria, they saw Zhang Dening standing at the door of the cafeteria looking around.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally could not ignore his old friend Zhang Dening.
He came to Zhang Dening and said, "De Ning, who are you looking for?"
Zhang Dening was startled out of nowhere, turned around and looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Who are you looking for? Of course I'm looking for you!"
"Why are you walking without making any sound? You're like a cat that just woke up. You scared me."
As he spoke, Zhang Dening greeted Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "Sister Dening, have you eaten? If not, let Xuyuan treat you to a meal, which will be considered as an apology to you!"
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "Yuqing is the best. She knows I'm hungry!"
"Come on, let's go eat outside. I don't have a bowl to eat here."
Looking at Zhang Dening who was not pretending at all, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
But he could only agree: "Let's go, let's go to the Changzheng Restaurant to eat."
"Let's go to another place. Every time I come to see you, it's always the Changzheng Hotel."
"I think the Chunjiang Hotel which is not too far from here is a good choice." Zhang Dening suggested with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan has also been to Chunjiang Hotel. The prices of meals there are not much different from those at Changzheng Hotel, but many things there require tickets.
But this is not a problem for Cheng Xuyuan.
He had a lot of overseas remittance coupons in his hands, so having a meal was no big deal for him.
The three of them pushed their bicycles and arrived at Chunjiang Restaurant. There were not many customers in the restaurant, so Cheng Xuyuan went straight to the counter and ordered four dishes.
Although Overseas Remittance Coupons can only be used in Friendship Stores, in some places people will be more welcoming if you use Overseas Remittance Coupons.
After all, many people collect remittance coupons in preparation for exchanging them for their favorite products.
After Cheng Xuyuan ordered the dishes, Zhang Dening said, "Xuyuan, you are becoming more and more stylish now. You don't even look at the price when ordering dishes."
"Yuqing, tell me, is money just a number to your Cheng Xuyuan now?"
When Fang Yuqing heard Zhang Dening talking about your Cheng Xuyuan, her pink and tender little face suddenly turned red.
She really enjoyed this sense of belonging and said with a smile, "Sister, Xuyuan is still very cautious when it comes to spending money."
Zhang Dening didn't care about Fang Yuqing's irrelevant answer.
She picked up the cup in front of her, took a sip of water and said, "Xuyuan, I came to see you this time on orders."
"I heard you're working on a novel lately."
"How's it going? Are you almost done? Let me take a look."
Cheng Xuyuan has only the ending left of "The Cliff" and is thinking about which magazine to submit it to.
What he was thinking about was People's Literature and October.
"Yenching Literature and Art" was not among his choices.
It’s not that he has any prejudice against Yenching Literature and Art, but the fact is that Yenching Literature and Art generally publishes short stories.
His is a long article.
"You are quite well-informed!" Cheng Xuyuan said casually.
"Of course, you are surrounded by young people who love literature."
"As for me, most of my friends are young people who love literature."
While Zhang Dening was speaking, he deliberately raised his head, as if to say, "You can't escape from my control."
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while. He wrote this novel in the library.
So he really couldn't guess who leaked the information to Zhang Dening.
After all, although not many students knew about it, there were still a few.
"De Ning, my novel is a long one, and it tells a story similar to "Insidious"."
"It is not suitable for publication in your Yenching Literature and Art Journal."
"There are more than 200,000 words!"
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Zhang Dening frowned.
More than 200,000 words, which is almost the number of words in one issue of "Yenching Literature and Art".
When Desire was published that year, it took up an entire issue.
Is it really okay to release "The Cliff" now?
Thinking about what Li Qingquan had told him when he came here this time, Zhang Dening hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, it's not like we haven't published long articles before."
"If you want, we can send it."
"As for the royalties, we can negotiate!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zhang Dening, who looked very proud, and smiled and said, "Is it really easy to discuss?"
"Of course, as long as we don't violate the rules, everything is fine." Zhang Dening was not at all afraid of Cheng Xuyuan's words.
After all, there are now unified regulations on the amount of royalties.
Even if Cheng Xuyuan wanted to ask for a high price, it would be impossible for him to do so.
Looking at Zhang Dening who looked like he had to believe in him, Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly, "The most you can give me is seven yuan per thousand words."
"Is there anyone who has more than us?" Zhang Dening asked with a smile.
Absolutely not.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Although their royalties are not as much as yours, they have more readers."
“For example, People’s Literature!”
When Zhang Dening heard Cheng Xuyuan talking about "People's Literature", he was a little speechless.
Although their "Yenching Literature and Art" is also very famous, it is still a few points behind "People's Literature".
"Xuyuan, the review process of People's Literature is very strict."
"Although you are a little famous now, people may not necessarily be attracted to you!"
"Maybe if you submit it to someone else, it will be rejected!" Zhang Dening said earnestly, "But it's different when it comes to us!"
"We have worked together so many times. Even if there is even the slightest flaw in your work, we will give you a chance to revise it."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zhang Dening, who looked like he was thinking about her, and smiled, "Dening, thank you!"
"But I'll think about this matter again."
Zhang Dening sighed and focused his main attention on the dishes served.
This Cheng Xuyuan is really different from before.
Now I’m becoming picky about which magazine to publish in!
Although he did not get a definite answer from Cheng Xuyuan, Zhang Dening also knew the general plot of "The Cliff".
She felt that the story was very attractive and was in no way inferior to the currently best-selling "Insidious".
If it can be published in your own publication, it will definitely cause a sensation.
If you can't reach an agreement on your own, then just find someone who can negotiate!
So after dinner, Zhang Dening rushed back to the editorial department without stopping, waiting for Li Qingquan and Zou Yan to come to work.
But the person she waited for first was Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo, who had just finished his meal at home, found Zhang Dening reading a book at the table and asked curiously, "Dening, why are you here so early?"
Seeing his good friend, Zhang Dening put down the book in his hand and said, "Yu Mo, this person really changes."
"You know, Cheng Xuyuan is a bit of a mean guy who suddenly got rich."
"I went to him to ask for an article, but it seems like this guy is a little disappointed with us."
"He's making excuses and acting like he doesn't want to give it to us."
Looking at the angry Zhang Dening, Shen Yumo said helplessly: "De Ning, this is quite normal."
"If he can write good works, he will naturally have to put on airs."
"If he can't write good works, do you think we should still go to him? Therefore, everything still depends on strength."
"So, let's just keep a calm mind."
Zhang Dening was just about to respond to Shen Yumo's words when he heard someone say, "Shen Yumo, someone's looking for you!"
