The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 639, Wen Hui's waiting, ABC spends a lot of money (please subscribe!)

   After drinking beer, he slept very comfortably. He didn't have any miscellaneous dreams, nor did he feel the pain of drinking liquor.

   slept soundly.

  I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xuan, who felt dry mouth, slowly woke up, and in a daze, his right hand was casually spread out, and suddenly a fleshy touch came.

   His eyelids were all lifted immediately, and with the help of the bright white moonlight, he found that his right hand was placed on Wen Hui's thigh.

   When Zhang Xuan looked over, Wen Hui also looked at him.

   Looking at each other in the open and quiet campus environment, there is an indescribable feeling.

   Wen Huinuo then looked away and looked at the sky.

   Zhang Xuan withdrew his right hand and subconsciously asked, "What time is it?"

  Wen Hui did not make a sound.

  Zhang Xuan patted his forehead with his right hand, looking at his memory, this girl is in a cold war with him now.

  Look at the time, 00:13

  I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I was shocked when I saw it! I slept for almost 4 hours, and it was past the early morning.

   Campus in the early morning?

   He was afraid of ghosts, and he instantly had bad associations. Who doesn't know the legend of Yongfangtang?

   Not to mention at night, he and Shuangling try not to go there during the day.

   Looking around, when he saw Zhao Lei 20 meters away, his heart suddenly fell.

Before    was about to be put aside, Zhao Lei would never have been so close to the two of them.

   But she was afraid of Wen Hui being alone, so she deliberately appeared in the most conspicuous position.

   stretched his hands back, and when he half sat up, he found that his palms were full of dew.

   "It's hard for you, let's go back." Zhang Xuan stood up and patted his pants.

  Wen Hui got up, hooked the end of her hair that was blown away by the night wind with her right hand, lowered her head and headed to the teacher's apartment first.

  On the second floor platform, Zhang Xuan looked at the back who walked straight up to the third floor, thought about it, and went back to his room.

   It is impossible to live without a bath in the summer.

  The first thing you do when you enter the door is to take a shower, and the second thing is to wash your clothes and dry them on the balcony.

   It was almost one o'clock in the morning after I survived.

   Bring a book and open the door to the third floor.

   Fortunately, Zou Qingzhu's key was temporarily requisitioned by himself on the coffee table, so he didn't have to knock on the door to enter.

   The light in the bathroom was on, and Wen Hui was bathing inside.

   He glanced in the direction of the bathroom, then lay down on the sofa and started reading.

   I slept for more than 4 hours, and now I have no sleepiness.

  About ten minutes later, Wen Hui came out, dressed in plain pajamas, and her wet hair must have just been washed.

   Looking at her silently, Zhang Xuan couldn't help sighing: As time goes by, this girl is getting more and more flavorful.

   is really quiet like a delicate flower shining on the water, his actions are like a weak willow supporting the wind, his heart is more than dry, and his illness is like Xizi winning by three points.

   This kind of taste falls in the eyes of people, and it is indescribably comfortable.

   Seeing that he was looking at him fixedly, Wen Hui paused, and half turned away from him. She continued to wipe her hair with a dry hair towel. When she felt almost done, she hung the towel on the balcony and went back to her bedroom.

   The two didn't say a word the whole time.

  Close the door, Wen Hui is ready to sleep.

   Just when she stepped on the bed with her right foot, she remembered Zhang Xuan's eyes just now, and after a moment of hesitation, she retracted her feet, put on sandals again, and walked to the bedroom cabinet, where there is a three-dimensional makeup mirror.

   Looking at herself in the mirror for 3 seconds, Wen Hui went back to bed.

   This night, Zhang Xuan didn't sleep until two o'clock after reading.

   This evening, Wen Hui got up and drank a glass of milk instead of bread.

   The next day, Zhang Xuan woke up after being exposed to the sun.

   When I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of the piano.

   As usual, he first sat and listened for a long time, then went downstairs to wash up, then walked around the campus, and finally went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

  The kitchen, the two once again played a tacit understanding.

  When Zhang Xuan washed the vegetables and cut them, Wen Hui would step on the dots and tie a scarf to take over the work.

  This girl is meticulous in her work, and she looks very serious, but there is something wrong with her. She ignores him and ignores him the whole time.

   This ignorance lasted 7 days.

   7 days in a row.

   During these 7 days, he was in charge of grocery shopping, and Wen Hui was in charge of cooking.

   Zhang Xuan eats rice in the morning, noon and evening according to her hobbies, and she has no objection.

   After breakfast, Zhang Xuan put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but say, "It's been 8 days before and after, and you haven't spoken for 8 days, aren't you uncomfortable?"

  Wenhui looked up at him calmly, then lowered her head and continued to eat.

   Zhang Xuan: "."

   is really powerless, this girl is a bit ruthless!

   Seeing her eat three bites in a row, the old man got up and left.

   These days, in addition to going to the mall during the day, I basically run around the major bookstores in Yangcheng.

  Why run?

   Buy books, buy books that are down-to-earth and of a special era.

The purpose of    is to accumulate my own knowledge, and I hope to write the second half of "The World" in a more earthy way.

  Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye it is July 18th.

   On this day, Zhang Xuan went into his study after returning from No. 228 Tianhe Road.

   First, I read the "Human World" manuscript for an hour, and then I tried to write the "Human World" again.

   This is two months after the pen was broken, and he picked up the pen again.

  The ink bottle was placed, the cap of the pen was unscrewed, and in front of the bookstore, after brewing some emotions on the seat, he picked up the pen and started writing.

   Thanks to the accumulation of non-rich in the past few months, this time it was written smoothly.

   wrote 4 pages in one go, about 2200 words.

  Although his thoughts are still relatively good, he chose to stop writing decisively.

   Move your eyes forward, check from the beginning, check word by word, paragraph by paragraph.

   After about 20 minutes, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The    level is back.

The level of    has returned to the 300,000 words that have been written before. As long as you maintain this state and do not touch other topics in the middle, it should be no problem when you are finished.

   But while he was happy, he was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and there was a feeling that he could do better.

   Combined with the precipitation of his 80s in his previous life, Zhang Xuan felt that he could write a better novel than the original.

  Thinking to this, he realized a word "people are not enough to swallow elephants", but he really wanted to try it.

   With this eagerness to try, Zhang Xuan continued to write 6,000 words, and did not stop until 10 o'clock in the evening.

  I didn’t even think of having dinner at midday, so I just continued the feeling. It’s been almost a year since I broke off the “world” in August last year.

   He was afraid of losing his previous state, so he wrote more.

  If he can, if he can write better than the original work, Zhang Xuan is willing to break the current law of life, and he is willing to stay up all night again and stay up all night.

   From the afternoon to the present, he has written more than 8,200 words in total. He is very happy and has a sense of accomplishment.

   This sense of accomplishment is something others can't understand, but he clearly feels it.

   This is called lost and found!

   Heaven's eyes open, these months of hard work have finally paid off!

   Withdrawing from the writing state, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

   Well, it's not that I'm a little hungry, I'm hungry, my stomach is thundering, my chest and back are cold, and I'm so hungry.

  The door was opened, and the moonlight outside made his shadow mottled on the wall.

   hurried to the third floor, opened the door and saw Wen Hui watching TV on the sofa.

   Consultant or not: "Are there any leftovers for dinner?"

   Hearing the sound, Wen Hui looked away from the TV and fell on him.

   After a few seconds, she got up and went to the kitchen, where she packed a bowl of rice.

   But this bowl of rice is not for Zhang Xuan, it is her own.

   Seeing Wenhui sitting at the dining table, she picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat.

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the two meat and one vegetable on the table, and asked in surprise, "You haven't eaten yet?"

  Wen Hui had the experience of being robbed of chopsticks last time, so she went straight to eat.

   Zhang Xuan: "."

  This, this is not easy to grab.

  I ran to the kitchen impatiently, using the rice bowl, no, what kind of rice bowl does a lazy person use, just change the bowl.

   piled up a bowl of rice, put it on the table with a "ding", and began to eat and drink wildly.

   As for etiquette and so on, go to hell, everyone is thin, everyone is starving, and the whole scene is like this, who cares?

  Wen Hui stared at his big bowl of rice for a while, and then silently watched the scene where he was stuffing vegetables and rice, which reminded her of a scene on TV: hungry begging for food.

   Seeing that he kept putting chopsticks into the pot, Wen Hui realized that if she didn't eat it, the dishes would be gone.

   Twice-cooked pork is delicious, but duck is even better, and the water spinach is also good.

  Anyway, no one talked to me, so I didn’t even have to waste my saliva. I ate 2 big bowls in one go, burped, felt my belly, and was instantly satisfied. This **** is called life!

   Seeing that she was still chewing slowly, Zhang Xuan touched his mouth and said, "Hey, I'm old and I like to drink soup. It would be nice if I had soup every meal in the future."

   Hearing this, Wen Hui gave him a strange look, but still didn't say anything.

   Just then, his Nokia rang.

   is from Tao Ge.

   Zhang Xuan answered and asked, "You have time to call me, are you done?"

   Tao Ge said, "No, my sister has been very busy."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Then you are looking for me for something?"

  Tao Ge said directly: "There is indeed something, an American TV station found me just now."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "HBO TV?"

  Tao Ge shook his head: "No, it was the high-level executive of ABC TV who found me through the relationship with the president of Penguin Publishing House and wanted to talk to you."

   Zhang Xuan didn't understand: "American ABC TV?"

   Tao Ge said: "ABC TV is one of the three oldest TV stations in the United States, and its qualifications, strength and influence are stronger than HBO TV."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "What is this ABC TV looking for me for?"

   Tao Ge said: "I'm looking for you for the copyright of the novel and TV series."

   Zhang Xuan was a little confused: "You heard me right, ask me for the copyright of the TV series?

   The TV series copyright of "A Song of Ice and Fire" was not sold to HBO for 550 million, what else do you want from me? Is it because of the "clockwork girl"? "

   "Harry Potter" rights sold to Hollywood Warners.

   Now I only have "Clockwork Girl" left in my hands, so I can't take a fancy to "Wind Sound" and "Hidden", right?

   That's impossible, unless the other party's brain is pumped.

   Tao Ge explained: "ABC TV wants you to help customize a series of TV novels, like "A Song of Ice and Fire", or better."

   Zhang Xuan said angrily: "Are they going crazy? Want to customize a series of TV novels from me, even better than "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

   Don't they know my fame? Can you afford this price? "

   Hearing the broken thoughts on the other end of the phone, Tao Ge took a sip of coffee and teased, "Who in the world doesn't know the name of your SanYue? Of course the other party knows the price."

   Zhang Xuan was curious: "How much did the other party bid?"

  Tao Ge said a number: "Starting at $150 million, there will be no less than three novels in the series."

   Then Tao Ge added: "Don't get me wrong, this price only buys the copyright of TV dramas and movies, and does not affect the money you make from your novels."

   "Isn't this nonsense? Is the novel I wrote only worth $150 million? This money is earned back in minutes."

   Zhang Xuan grumbled and asked: "ABC TV station is so expensive, is it jealous of HBO?"

  Tao Ge said, "I'm jealous of changing my sister, do you know how much of a sensation the first season of "Game of Thrones" was broadcast on HBO?

  According to ABC TV executives privately revealed to their sister, the revenue has exceeded at least 900 million US dollars, and this is only the first quarter of the first season, and there are so many series after "A Song of Ice and Fire". Fools also know that HBO TV is going to make a lot of money.

   Now, let alone ABC TV, TV stations all over the world are jealous. "

   Zhang Xuan was stunned: "$900 million? Last time Xie Qi told me $570 million, is this HBO TV so black?"

  Tao Ge said: "I don't know if it's black or not. But as long as it's an individual, everyone understands that it's not just as simple as $570 million in revenue, it must be a fake account, and you understand the purpose."

   "This is so **** ugly!"

   Zhang Xuan scolded, and then his mood eased. Since there is nothing you can do to change it, don't waste your time.

   And this situation has long been expected, and I have been prepared for it.

   Tao Ge asked: "How is it, are you interested?"

   Zhang Xuan replied directly: "It's only $150 million, I'm not interested."

   Hearing this, Wen Hui across the table couldn't help but look up at him.

  Tao Ge emphasized: "150 million US dollars is just the starting price. If the quality is good, the price can definitely be negotiated. Are you interested now?"

   Zhang Xuan still replied: "No time, no interest."

  Tao Ge listened to the music, "Tsk tsk, it's really a big name now. Most people can't earn such wealth in their lifetimes. You are so decisive in rejecting the Jedi."

  Zhang Xuan ignored her ridicule: "I am currently writing "The World", and I finally found some feeling, let alone 150 million US dollars, even 1.5 billion US dollars can't impress me."

   Hearing the words, Tao Ge asked tightly, "Have you found your feelings?"

   Zhang Xuan told the truth: "After stopping writing for so long, I did find something.

   And now I have a strong idea to push the "world" that has been written over again and write a better one. "

  Tao Ge happily asked, "I've read your 300,000 words, and it's very well written. You're thinking of doing it all over again, so confident?"

   Zhang Xuan raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Of course! That's how confident you are!"

"well!"

  Tao Ge said two "yes" in a row, and then said: "You have this confidence, and my sister will naturally support you unconditionally.

  Like you said, let alone 150 million US dollars, even if you turn over 5.1 billion US dollars, I still support you in writing "The World". As a writer, money is endless, and your work is the most important thing. "

   This is her truth.

   Judging from her family conditions, no amount of money is just money, it can’t compare to a handed down classic.

   Besides, what attracted Zhang Xuan the most was talent, not money.

   If it was for money, Tao Ge would not approach him at all.

   Because she has many ways to get money.

   And among the people she knows, there are not many people who are richer than Zhang Xuan, but there are some, but they are all very low-key and not showing their wealth.

  Tao Ge asked concerned: "When will "The World" be finished? I haven't read traditional literature for a long time, so I miss it a bit."

   Zhang Xuan said: "The plan is 1.1 million, not so fast, and I still want to find an opportunity to live in the countryside for a while. It is estimated that I will have to wait until I graduate, or maybe longer."

  Tao Ge encouraged: "Okay, don't worry, quality is the most important thing, sister believes in you. Don't say one year, two or three years are worth it."

"Um."

   Zhang Xuan hummed and said, "On the ABC TV station, please help me reject it. Everything has to wait for me to finish writing "The World"."

   "Okay, sister knows what to do."

   said, Tao Ge changed the subject and asked, "Where are you now? School?"

   Zhang Xuan replied: "Yes, at CUHK."

   Tao Ge asked: "Are you alone? Or are you two actors?"

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the person opposite: "I am alone, Shuangling went home to accompany grandpa."

   Tao Ge instructed: "Then you have to pay attention to your diet and daily life."

   Zhang Xuan said: "Don't worry, I'm most afraid of being hungry."

   The two talked about this topic for a while, and then came to Tao Ge and said, "That's it for today's call. Sister still has a lot of things to do."
