Chapter 194 How to spend this money
July 19, Saturday.
Fang Yan played a noon card on the beekeeping road.
When I came back, I did not go back to the editorial office of "October" immediately. Instead, I went to the Humanities Club first to find my senior brother.
When Zhang Guangnian saw the Panda cigarette in his hand, he immediately understood, "How was your bridge game today?"
"If you win, this is the spoils of war."
Fang Yan slapped the cigarette into his senior brother's hand.
“Then why are you still frowning?”
Zhang Guangnian accepted it happily.
The dialect said everything, and he was going to Shekou in eastern Guangdong to attend a literary lecture on "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty".
Zhang Guangnian pondered for a moment, "This is for you to go to the front line to encourage reform and hard work in the name of literature, just like you went to the Guangxi Military Region to express condolences in the name of literature supporting the army."
"Senior brother, I think so too."
Fang Yan smiled bitterly.
"The Fission of the Great Qin" is a banner for literary reform, and Shekou is a banner for political reform. When it comes to Shekou to talk about "The Fission of the Great Qin", the intention cannot be more obvious.
“It may not be a bad thing for you.”
Zhang Guangnian patted him on the shoulder, "When the time comes, Shekou will definitely make arrangements for you, but it's best to find a few local people to take care of you. Do you have any friends in eastern Guangdong?"
" I can ask the comrades from "Flower City" to take care of me."
Fang Yan said that he had received an invitation to their summer novel writing class and took this opportunity to take a look at the Literary Cantonese Army.
“That’s good.”
Zhang Guangnian felt relieved.
Fang Yan said: "Actually, what I'm more worried about now is that I don't know what to say in this literature lecture?"
"Sometimes, going represents an attitude."
< br>"As for what to say, of course we will talk about "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty", talk about Shang Yang, talk about reforms, talk about reforms. You can think about it these days and write a manuscript, and then we will discuss how to change it."
Zhang Guangnian's tone was filled with concern.
“Brother, that’s what I mean!”
Fang Yan thanked him and was led to the table.
Zhang Guangnian opened the locked cabinet and took out a cloth bag containing bundles of foreign exchange coupons.
The face value is basically 100 yuan and 50 yuan.
Fang Yan’s eyes flashed, and he received the largest royalties in his life, a total of 28,000 foreign exchange coupons.
“This is a special event.”
Zhang Guangnian said: "But I want to remind you that we have been cracking down on speculation and reselling of foreign exchange certificates recently."
"Why should I bother to exchange for foreign exchange certificates? I am not short of money. Some time ago , the royalties from "Operation Sword" came home."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "It's better to keep this foreign exchange coupon."
"As long as you understand."
Zhang Guangnian said "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" as a Youfei Ge was the first Chinese novel published in Japan and received great attention.
The publication date is set for August, with an initial printing of 3,000 copies. Subsequent royalties will not be remitted until the official publication.
“This is a coincidence, isn’t it!”
Dialect counted the time.
If nothing else goes wrong, it will be almost August when Zhang Yimou and the others complete a series of tasks such as the split-shot script and on-site scouting. At that time, Wei Bida and Guo Baochang will come to Beijing with their young film crew to meet in person. It’s up to you to test their results.
"Is "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" going to be made into a movie?"
Zhang Guangnian was greatly surprised.
“Yes.”
Fang Yan nodded and listened to his encouragement to say that "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" should be filmed well. After "An Unfinished Game of Chess", this The movie is likely to be released in Japan.
Then the two chatted for more than two hours around the manuscript of the "The Fission of the Qin Dynasty" symposium, until the secretary knocked on the door and reminded them that there was a meeting to attend later, and they had to end.
“It’s too unsafe to carry so much money with you.”
Zhang Guangnian planned to send his own special car to take Fang Yan back.
"Senior brother, it's still..."
Fang Yan opened his mouth.
"Don't refuse."
Zhang Guangnian mentioned "Contemporary". This time it was a blessing in disguise. With "Operation Sword", he showed his face fiercely, and from a single The main position of reform literature gradually opened up a second position, and with the warm meal of military literature, it would not fall into a trough when reform literature fell into a low ebb.
This is all thanks to Fang Xiaojiang for giving him face as a senior brother!
"Don't say that."
"We don't speak the same dialect as our family. If you have something to say, you can speak up."
Fang Yan declined again, but finally agreed I got on Zhang Guangnian's special car and returned home with a huge sum of 28,000 foreign exchange coupons.
When Yang Xia and Fang Hong were shown so much money, they were stunned and stared at the foreign exchange certificates.
"Close, close, close the door! Close the door quickly!"
Yang Xia was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.
"Close the door? Close the door!"
Fang Hong was startled and ran to close the door.
Yang Xia still felt unsafe, so she ran into her room holding the cloth bag, then sat on the kang, dipped her fingers in her saliva, and counted the money.
Fang Hong calmed down her excitement, "Yanzi, the 28,000 you mentioned are all foreign exchange certificates!" "That's right, I always said foreign exchange certificates."
< br>Dialect shrugged.
“I didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect that the royalties for one of your books would be more than what Yuemin earns in a year.” Fang Hong couldn’t help but regret, “I knew you would have so many foreign exchange coupons. I won’t go to Mike and Yoko to change..."
"Sister, you don’t have any regrets."
Fang Yan glanced around and saw that the house still lacked a refrigerator and air conditioner.
The air conditioners currently on the market are not wall-mounted, but window-type air conditioners. The noise is too loud, which will affect your creation.
Equivalently, it affects your ability to earn a small amount of money!
You can build two refrigerators, keep one at home, and send the other to Shichahai's house as Fang Hong's dowry.
“Forex coupons are valuable, so don’t waste them on the refrigerator.”
Fang Hong said categorically: "I have already thought about it and bought the Wanbao brand. I have already found out how to get the tickets."
"Oh, then this money is lost."
Fang Yan said worriedly: “I don’t even know how to spend it.”
Fang Hong rolled her eyes, "Pfft, if others hear what you said, I will beat you up. Others have no money to spend, but you have money and no place to spend it, right?"
“Not only do I have no place to spend money, I don’t have time to spend it.”
Fang Yan said that he would go on a business trip to eastern Guangdong in a few days.
“Why did I just go to western Guangxi and now I’m going to eastern Guangdong?”
Fang Hong frowned.
“This trip to eastern Guangdong must be done no matter what.”
Fang Yan sighed with emotion.
"Why don't you let Yuemin go with you?"
Fang Hong said: "It just so happens that he wants to visit the Gao Di Street Market in eastern Guangdong, so you two can take care of him on the way."
“It’s done!”
Fang Yan agreed wholeheartedly.
After all, not long ago, Han Yuemin and Fang Hong officially registered to receive their certificates. Now, it’s time to change their calling Han Yuemin to “brother-in-law.”
These days, registering and receiving a certificate is quite simple. You don’t even need to take a photo, it’s just a piece of paper folded in half, exactly like a certificate.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the house.
“Why is the door closed?”
Fang Yan pushed the door open forcefully.
The noise was so loud that it scared Yang Xia, who was counting money in the bedroom. She couldn't help but become nervous, "You unlucky child! Close the door quickly!"
Fang Yan groaned and looked at Fang Yan in confusion.
"Brother, mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go listen to your radio."
Fang Yan walked to the door of the room and deliberately shouted: "Mom, the swallow is back. When will dinner be served at our house?"
"Ask your sister, ask your sister, I am busy."
Yang Xia said faintly: "How many did you just click..."
Fang Yan and Fang Hong looked at each other and smiled.
Suddenly there was a "sizzling" sound in her ears. Fang Yan turned on the radio, tuned down the frequency, and tuned to the Central Radio Station, just in time to catch up with the long-running broadcast of "Operation Sword".
From its inception to the present, the radio drama has caused a huge sensation in Yanjing and even the whole country. With it, the attention and discussion of the "Operation Sword" novel have risen to a new height.
Fang Yan held her face in both hands and said while listening:
"Brother, can I ask you something..."
Fang Yan interrupted: "If you want to ask about martial arts novels, my answer is the same as before, I'm thinking about it, don't worry."
"Hey, hey, that's not what I'm asking."
Fang Yan stuck out her tongue. In the days after she received the admission notice from No. 2 Middle School, she tried hard to collect debts from her brother. .
Fang Yan said: "Then what do you want to ask?"
"Brother, you said in "Operation Sword" that we have 11 special forces. Do these forces exist?"
Fang Yan said: "For example, the 'Dragon Team' and the 'Wolf Warrior'. "
"It goes without saying, of course it's all fake!"
Fang Yan shook his head and laughed.
But the development of things far exceeded Fang Xiaojiang’s expectations.
A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.
As the novels and radio dramas of "Operation Sword" spread more and more widely, the dialect became more and more famous, and many people no longer questioned the authenticity. After all, this was written by Teacher Fang .
Can what Teacher Fang wrote be fake? !
So much so that on the Internet at the beginning of the 21st century, especially in the "Iron Blood" gathering place for military fans, you can always see words such as "Dragon Group", "Wolf Warrior", and "Falcon", which are used by netizens They discussed extensively.
As we all know, Fang Yan's "Operation Sword" pioneered Chinese military fantasy literature, but why can he predict the training, operations and construction of special forces so accurately?
The answer is obvious, that is, he must have seen it with his own eyes!
Although this view has been refuted by many people who have provided evidence to prove that the troops mentioned in "Operation Sword" do not exist at all, many people actually believe it.
Even, it was openly written into the online article.
Military themes and urban themes, when it comes to mercenaries, special forces, and super soldiers, most of them will have names such as "Wolf Warrior", "Black Panther", and "Falcon", and "Dragon Group" It appears most frequently, and later it was even cited in fantasy themes.
Until more and more netizens dug deeper, they finally proved that the unit code names of "Dragon Group" and "Black Panther" were all fake.
But instead of being angry, netizens were even happier, because this further confirmed Fang Yan’s other hidden identity.
The war ignores the situation!
