In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

At eight o'clock in the morning, the four of them finished breakfast and discussed today's itinerary.

Liao Gaoxiang said: "Let's buy a car first, and let's take the car to the Phoenix Center together in the evening!"

"Can you drive?"

"The fourth child can open it!"

Zhao Linhai looked at Shen Xudong: "Can you drive?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Two months after I finished the college entrance examination, I got my driver's license~"

"...Okay, pick up the car first, and then go see Liu Chun!"

That’s right, at 12:30 last night, Liu Chun called and asked about Shen Xudong’s creative intentions, and then wanted to see "Screening Room" with his own eyes...

We made an appointment to meet at the Phoenix Center in the HD area tonight!

In 2015, Phoenix TV moved to the "Phoenix Nest" - Phoenix TV headquarters and BJ Phoenix International Media Center.

I'm still in Zhongguancun now...

In short, after finalizing the itinerary, a group of people went straight to the second-hand car trading market of the South Fourth Ring Road...

…

Shen Xudong was driving the Santana he just bought, feeling a little confused...

We agreed on a Jetta, but they asked for 60,000 yuan!

Thirty thousand yuan can only buy Charade at most!

Then the three brothers took it upon themselves to help him each add 10,000, 56,000, all the license plates, and a white Santana that was 80% new...

To be honest, Shen Xudong really doesn't like this color and model...

It’s so ugly!

Santana is square and square, not round at all...

A capital ugly!

But... I really can't help it, because I don't have enough money...

Zhao Linhai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was originally worried about Shen Xudong's driving skills, but after driving for a while, he was very stable... So he said: "You drive it first, and then buy a new one after you save enough money..."

"No, I'm just thinking about the debt I owe... I don't know when "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" will pay me the publishing fee!"

Zhao Linhai was 'surprised': "...the debt? What is the debt? Are you the only one who can use this car? Can't we use it?"

Shen Xudong said matter-of-factly: "You can definitely use it!"

Liao Gaoxiang followed: "Yes, we can use it, why should we spend some money?"

Zhao Xin added: "That is, if you ask me, the three of us, if each of us paid 10,000 yuan, we would have taken advantage!"

this…

Shen Xudong was stunned for a while: "That's not right, but the car owner wrote my name!"

Zhao Linhai ignored him: "You are the owner of the car, but do you think we can use it?"

"Sure, but the eldest brother and the third brother don't have driver's licenses..."

"We...will take the exam..."

"Yeah, just use your car to practice...you won't be reluctant to let it go, right?"

"How can it be…"

"Then it's settled!"

"Don't talk about money or not!"

"No, that's not what you said just now!" Shen Xudong argued: "You just said that the manuscript fee for "The Best in the World" will arrive soon, at least 300 words for 1,000 words. I have almost 600,000 words, that is 180,000 before tax... At least 120,000 after tax...it’s easy to pay you back!”

"This moment is the same as the other moment. I didn't expect this just now... That's it!"

Shen Xudong felt warm in his heart...

…

To be honest, the draft fee for "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" was 60,000 yuan. He had ever thought about taking the lion's share of it...

Originally, I had won the opportunity to be the screenwriter of "Dragon Movie" by myself. Without the three of them, could I have completed it?

The answer is yes!

Not to mention half a month, even in five days, he could write ten episodes of the script...

In terms of nature, the three of them are helping...

Why should I enjoy the same treatment as him?

What's more, how much weight does the news that he is a co-writer of "Dragon" carry?

Not to mention that he takes the lion's share, it's not an exaggeration to ask each of the three of them to give him a sum of money...

This matter is groundbreaking, and he is the one who is responsible!

Isn't this...sorry!

Moreover, Shen Xudong has received too much care from the three of them since he entered school...

Apart from anything else, the first script I participated in, "Divorce Lawsuit", was introduced by my second brother, and the computer was bought at a low price by someone introduced by my third brother...

Buying a car this time really made him feel deeply - he was really prepared to pay back the money...

After all, ten thousand yuan is a huge amount of money for a freshman!

Unexpectedly, Brother San was not prepared to let him return...

I even found some inexplicable reasons to block his mouth...

…

After having a meal, the foursome headed to the Phoenix Building...

Arriving in Zhongguancun, we found a parking lot, parked the car, and then walked along the path and saw a six-story small red building...

This is the BJ program center of Phoenix TV!

After making a phone call, the four people followed the staff's instructions and went up to the fifth floor, then knocked on the door of the deputy director's office...

Liu Chun was very enthusiastic and did not look down upon them at all because they were college students.

"Have you brought the master tapes?"

"Bring it, here it is!"

"Then play an episode and I'll take a look first!"

Just as Zhao Linhai was about to take action, the staff quickly took the master tape and put it into the projector, and then started playing...

A few people sat down and started watching the show...

Shen Xudong silently recalled Liu Chun's resume - he graduated from Guangzhou University and was recognized as a talented person during his postgraduate period. He set a record by publishing 12 academic articles a month and commenting on Western modern trends of thought in various journals, from Heidegger to Rilke, from Said to semiotics, youthful spirit...

He used to do "News Investigation" on CCTV...

But the system pressured him to use it...

Seconded to Phoenix Satellite TV, he planned and founded columns such as "A Date with Lu Yu", "Qiang Qiang Threesome" and "Phoenix Vision".

A true doer!

He should be able to see the value of "Screening Room", right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Chun pressed pause and said directly: "I want the show!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Zhao Linhai said: "...Thank you, Director Liu!"

"Tell me about your psychological value!"

Zhao Linhai looked at Shen Xudong...

This is Shen Xudong’s show!

Shen Xudong had never experienced this before. He thought about it for a long time and then said: "...Director Liu, we have never sold a program...I don't know the price..."

"Don't you know?"

"…Um…"

Liu Chun was very interested: "Then how do you know this can make money?"

Shen Xudong explained: "I showed it to the seniors and seniors at school, and they all liked it very much... I thought there should be an audience..."

"You are indeed good at this," Liu Chun thought for a while and said, "In this case, you can give me samples of five issues first, and I will make the decision. One issue is 50,000..."

Fifty thousand per issue…

I…

Shen Xudong is a little dizzy...

This...this price is too high!

Zhao Linhai was relatively calm: "...then when do you want it?"

"tomorrow!"

Liao Gaoxiang said: "...Director Liu, we have only done three issues. We were originally going to do the fourth issue. This was not delayed because we took over the script writer of "Dragon Babu"... Do you think you can do this? Get it first. Three issues, and the next two issues, we will give them to you in a week?”

Liu Chun smiled: "Are you sure you can publish two issues a week? I heard that you have final exams!"

"...Is that ten days okay?"

"...Okay, after you finish five issues, bring it to me..."

Shen Xudong nodded and was about to leave when Liu Chun suddenly said: "By the way, if you feel you don't have enough time, you can call me and I will introduce you to some more professional people!"

What's the meaning?
