Chapter 603 You Don't Deserve to Be Remembered by Me
Cheng Xuyuan was actually very reluctant to argue with some people who mindlessly slandered him.
It's not that he has a broad mind, it's just that he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these fools.
He felt that arguing with these fools would actually lower his vision.
But there was one thing that Cheng Xuyuan couldn't just sit there and watch.
That is, when others are fighting for him, Cheng Xuyuan will never leave himself alone.
It seems like I didn't see anything.
He absolutely cannot let those who stand up for him end up with a bloody head.
So, when Shen He and Wu Guoliang were asked questions that they didn't know how to answer, he spoke directly.
When Shen He and Wu Guoliang saw Cheng Xuyuan come forward, they immediately felt relieved.
Now Cheng Xuyuan's appearance not only helped them solve the crisis, but also demonstrated Cheng Xuyuan's trust in the two people in this matter.
This is actually the most important thing for two people.
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Mr. Na Luo suddenly didn't know what to say.
Whether it is Stiver or Bertocchi, they are both famous directors.
The fact that they asked Cheng Xuyuan for an invitation naturally proves the status of Cheng Xuyuan's scripts in the eyes of these big directors.
This further proves that Cheng Xu is far from being a person who has gained fame in vain.
"How do you prove that what you said is true?" Mr. Luo asked Cheng Xuyuan, perhaps because of the suspicious gazes he was staring at.
At this moment, he still didn't admit defeat.
In fact, he couldn't admit defeat at this time, because once he did, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Facing this somewhat unreasonable questioning, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know, because I am Cheng Xuyuan."
Mr. Luo's expression suddenly became a little stiff.
They and others talked about Cheng Xuyuan behind his back, that is, they admired him but had no connection with him, so they said a few bad things about Cheng Xuyuan to make themselves feel better.
But I didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan was there.
Moreover, Cheng Xuyuan took the initiative to refute himself.
In this way, there is no need to think about improving the relationship between himself and Cheng Xuyuan in the future.
For a moment, his heart was filled with regret.
"Mr. Cheng, we just..."
After hesitating for a while, Mr. Luo wanted to explain. But although he was usually a quick thinker, he really didn't know what to say now.
In fact, this is normal. If you say bad things about someone behind their back, you will be caught by the person involved.
This in itself makes people extremely uncomfortable.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "It's okay. It's normal for people like me to be envied."
"You can continue to say bad things about me. Anyway, I won't know who you are anymore in the future."
If the first words made Mr. Luo's face suddenly look a little better, then the second words made Mr. Luo feel bad.
He has always felt that he is a big shot.
But now, what he felt from Cheng Xuyuan's words was a kind of contempt.
A kind of contempt that you are not worthy enough for me to know who you are.
This contempt not only made Mr. Luo feel uncomfortable.
He also had a feeling that if this contempt were to get out, his life would be very difficult in the future.
After all, Cheng Xu is far from an ordinary celebrity.
“You…you…”
Cheng Xuyuan ignored Mr. Luo, but when he saw the owner of the villa coming over, he quickly went to greet him.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect you to come." The host of the cocktail party, a middle-aged man in his forties, said with a smile.
When Cheng Xuyuan arrived, he only knew that the host's surname was Feng, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, I'm here to eat for free."
"Originally, I wanted to quietly eat some authentic Sichuan cuisine, and I really couldn't help but open my mouth just now."
"I hope you won't be surprised, Mr. Feng."
Mr. Feng looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, your coming is a great honor to me. How can I be surprised?"
"I'll ask my family to prepare whatever dishes Mr. Cheng likes."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Mr. Feng who looked sincere, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, Mr. Feng. I am not that picky when it comes to food."
"I eat whatever is available. I don't have such high requirements."
Looking at the approachable Cheng Xuyuan, Mr. Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I will make sure your trip is worthwhile this time."
Although Cheng Xuyuan wanted to keep a low profile, many people soon gathered around him and discussed various issues with him.
Facing those who surrounded him, Cheng Xuyuan always responded with a smile.
For him, if people are polite to him, he will naturally be polite to others as well.
During the discussion, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that many people had seen his works.
Some people even read his stories about the Ming Dynasty, which made Cheng Xuyuan speak more casually.
"Mr. Cheng, I heard that you are going to graduate from college next year. Will you come to the United States to study abroad?" Just as the dish was about to be served, a young man asked Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I probably won't come to study abroad."
"Because I studied history, and our history, why would I come here to study abroad?"
Some people thought Cheng Xuyuan's answer was quite normal, but others said, "Mr. Cheng, I think you are a little trapped in your own circle."
“You should look at the world.”
"The United States is now very developed, both economically and in other aspects."
"Even if you are studying history, you should come here and study it carefully."
"Only in this way can you achieve a qualitative improvement."
Hearing this, although Cheng Xuyuan disagreed in his heart, he was unwilling to care about it.
After all, everyone can have different opinions.
But then, I heard that person say: "No matter which aspect, Lao Mi is developing rapidly."
"We can only learn from Lao Mi and discard those useless things..."
Hearing these words, Cheng Xuyuan couldn't sit still any longer. He looked at the young man who was talking eloquently and said, "Brother, we should learn from others."
"But we need to learn selectively, rather than learning all the good and bad things."
"Learning blindly like that will only end up like learning to walk in Handan."
The young man's face turned red after hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said. Although he was a little unconvinced in his heart, he finally swallowed what he was about to say.
Cheng Xuyuan enjoyed the meal very much. The host's cooking made him very satisfied.
With a trace of reluctance, Cheng Xuyuan said goodbye and left.
Time flies, and Cheng Xuyuan has been in the United States for almost a month and a half.
During this one and a half months, Cheng Xuyuan not only received the award, but also wrote Game of Thrones.
Cheng Xuyuan also wrote the script for The Last Emperor, which he had promised to direct with Bertocchi.
This was not a difficult task for Cheng Xuyuan, but after seeing the script given by Cheng Xuyuan, Bertocchi became more determined to film this script.
When Cheng Xuyuan handed the first part of Game of Thrones to Mr. Mike, Cheng Xuyuan also told Mr. Mike that he wanted to go back.
Although Mr. Mike felt a little sorry that Cheng Xuyuan had to go back, he just wished Cheng Xuyuan a safe journey.
But Sidiwen is different.
This time, Cheng Xu came to the United States at his invitation.
Although the reason for the invitation was the Oscar, his real purpose was to film Forrest Gump.
He had read the novel Forrest Gump many times, and even had a plan for filming it in his mind, but he and Cheng Xuyuan had never reached an agreement on the copyright issue of Forrest Gump.
The reason for this is that Sidiwen felt that Cheng Xuyuan asked for too much.
However, Cheng Xuyuan disagreed with the proposal to give him more money on the basis of cooperation in The Shawshank Redemption.
Faced with Cheng Xuyuan's disagreement, Sidiwen was anxious but helpless.
Now, Cheng Xuyuan is leaving, and Sidiwen feels that he must have a good talk with Cheng Xuyuan.
So after having dinner together, Sidiwen mentioned the filming issue of Forrest Gump to Cheng Xuyuan again.
"Dear Cheng, I think everything is ready for our cooperation."
"The conditions I give you can be said to be the best right now."
“As a screenwriter, you can’t make more profit.”
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Si Diwen who was trying to persuade him earnestly, and smiled, "Si Diwen, although we are friends, I have already expressed my thoughts before."
"These days, I really don't want to do Forrest Gump."
“Because I think it will make more money if we film it later.”
"We are friends, so I can let you shoot this video, but I still need to mention the price."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's determined expression, Sidiwen sighed.
He pondered for a while and said, "Cheng, since you insist, let's follow the previous tiered price."
"You know, even though I'm the director, some things are not decided by me alone."
"I have an investment company behind me."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood what Sidiwen said.
He didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, so he smiled and said, "Then let's do as you say."
"I get commission based on the box office."
After negotiations, Sidiwen and Cheng Xuyuan signed a contract.
Looking at the terms of the contract in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed in Sidiwen's eyes.
He likes Forrest Gump very much.
But the last thing Cheng Xuyuan added was really too fantastical.
If the box office exceeds 500 million, he wants 10% of the profit! The reason why Si Diwen and the company behind him dared to sign this is very simple, that is, they don’t believe that the box office can reach 500 million US dollars.
Therefore, when the box office reaches 200 million US dollars, the commission given to Cheng Xuyuan is 1% of the profit.
In other words, at this stage, Cheng Xuyuan can get two million US dollars.
In fact, if Cheng Xuyuan had not insisted on adding the last item, he could still get a two-point reward on the profit of 200 million.
That's four million US dollars.
But in the end, Cheng Xuyuan insisted on taking this last one.
"Cheng Xuyuan, your last point makes me at a loss for words." Si Diwen said with a hint of emotion: "I really hope you can get this reward."
"But this is simply impossible!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Si Diwen who looked regretful and said with a smile: "I have confidence in my work, and I have confidence in you too."
"If you believe me, why not also put your reward in such a contract."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked confident, Si Diwen finally shook his head and said, "Dear Cheng, although I believe in your talent."
“But I trust my own judgment more.”
"Although this movie will be very good, it will definitely not achieve the profit you said."
"You might lose money this time!"
Cheng Xuyuan did not force Sidiwen to make his decision.
He has said everything he should have said. If Sidiwen doesn't adopt it, then it's not his fault.
"Si Diwen, let's wait and see."
Looking at the confident Cheng Xuyuan, Si Diwen said: "Dear Cheng, I really hope you can stay in Hollywood."
"There are many good schools here. I can help you get in touch with them."
"In fact, you can just go straight to work."
"I don't think you need to study anymore."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything this time, but this was actually an attitude, asking Sidiwen to stop talking.
After obtaining authorization from Cheng Xuyuan, Sidiwen began to prepare for the filming of Forrest Gump.
As for Cheng Xuyuan, he said goodbye to Sidiwen and boarded the plane back home.
This time, he can be said to have reaped a lot of rewards in the United States.
Not only did he win the award, but he also received nearly four hundred US dollars from Millen Publishing and Mr. Miller.
With the help of Mr. Miller, all this money was deposited in Straw Flag Bank.
You can take it out anywhere whenever you need it.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan boarded the plane, Mike, the editor, had just finished watching the first part of Game of Thrones.
After reading this novel, he felt not only unsatisfied but also excited.
He didn't care that there were guests in his editor-in-chief's office, so he rushed in and told his editor-in-chief that he had found a good book that would sell well.
At first, everyone was a little skeptical about Mike's excitement.
But as more and more people read it, Mirren Publishing House became more and more confident in the book.
They decided right then and there that this book would be their major publication for the year.
However, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know all this.
He took a flight for half a day and finally landed in the East China Sea when it was almost dark.
He was exhausted, and because he had no contact when he came back this time, no one came to pick him up.
Carrying two large suitcases, Cheng Xuyuan prepared to find a hotel to stay in.
But when he was about to check in, he found that he didn't have a letter of introduction.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to take a tricycle and arrived at Shen Yumo's residence in a dusty state.
Looking at the closed door, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little strange in his heart.
Although he was busy every day during his time in the United States and his life was very fulfilling, he thought about Shen Yumo many times.
As the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, Cheng Xuyuan had a growing feeling that he was not dreaming.
This is a real thing.
But now, Shen Yumo insisted that he was just dreaming.
At this time, is it really appropriate for me to make this matter clear?
Shen Yumo wants to live her own life, and she and Fang Yuqing are going to get married.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Xuyuan finally knocked on the door.
In addition to here, Cheng Xuyuan can also go to Xie Jin for help.
But he finally chose this place. The reason was very simple. In addition to Shen Yumo, he also really wanted to see the child.
After all, this time, he has been in the United States for almost two months.
As the door knocked, Shen Yumo's voice came from the room: "Who is it?"
Hearing this voice, Cheng Xuyuan felt relieved.
He said in a deep voice: "I am Cheng Xuyuan."
When Cheng Xuyuan's voice was heard, footsteps suddenly sounded in the room, and then the big iron door was opened from the inside, and Shen Yumo, holding Xiao Anan, stood behind the door.
Under the bright lights in the yard, little An An's eyes glowed.
When Cheng Xuyuan saw Xiao An'an, his hesitation disappeared completely.
He hugged little An'an and kissed her heavily on the cheek, then said, "An'an, do you miss your daddy?"
Xiao An'an already had memories of Cheng Xuyuan, her father. When she heard Cheng Xuyuan's question, she said loudly, "I thought about it."
These two words made Cheng Xuyuan feel even happier.
But just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to speak, he heard someone say, "What's the point of thinking? He won't stay in Donghai anyway."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment.
Then he discovered that Li Yufei was standing not far from Shen Yumo.
Seeing Li Yufei's factory, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here?"
According to Cheng Xuyuan's estimation, Li Yufei should be doing internship now.
Plus, something might happen at school, so she should be in Yanjing now, not in Donghai.
Li Yufei curled her lips and said, "Why should I care about you here? I care too much."
Shen Yumo smiled at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Yufei came to Donghai for a meeting and stayed at my place for two days."
Li Yufei heard Shen Yumo's explanation and snorted, "Sister, there is no need to explain to him."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the angry Li Yufei and could only lament in his heart that enemies often meet on a narrow road, but he didn't say much.
Dragging two huge suitcases, Cheng Xuyuan came to the living room.
At this time, there was a half-eaten meal on the dining table in the living room.
When Cheng Xuyuan saw these dishes, he felt his eyes were almost straight.
He had been eating Western food all the way, but when he saw these home-cooked meals, he suddenly couldn't walk anymore.
"The food is a little cold. Wait a moment, I'll make you a bowl of noodles." Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan's expression and immediately realized that he had not eaten yet, so he said.
Cheng Xuyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Yumo, I just need a simple meal."
As he spoke, he carried little An An to the dining table.
Li Yufei looked at Cheng Xuyuan and snorted, "You are coming to my sister's place. Are you going to stay here, or find a place to stay after dinner?"
