Chapter 73 Man, I really have no choice this time (please vote)
Celebrate!
This time it was Feng Jiayou who took the initiative to celebrate, even though he didn’t see the royalties!
But her man was appointed to comment on Timely Rain. How could such a great honor be short of celebration?
Of course, Feng Jiayou’s so-called celebration is definitely different from what Cheng Xuemin had in mind!
I made a special detour to Quanjude and bought a large roast duck and a duck rack for stewing soup. I fried two side dishes and took them home for 15 yuan.
I went to the pigeon market again and chopped a pound of meat, a big grass carp, and some vegetables.
The whole family gathers under one roof to eat, and the daily expenses are quite high, and it is basically all supported by Feng’s mother and Feng’s father!
Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law, was not asked to pay for food. When he first came here, Cheng Xuemin also mentioned that he should pay some food money to his family.
After all, he had breakfast and dinner at home, and the Feng family had enough appetite for two people, and her mother would give her extra meals from time to time.
It's unjustifiable to not give him some living expenses. No matter how thick-skinned Cheng Xuemin is, he can't afford this soft meal.
So she mentioned the living expenses, but her mother and father refused!
The two of them work both jobs, and their wages and benefits are not comparable to those of Feng Jiayou, who is receiving school subsidies.
Feng's father's salary at the Foreign Publishing Bureau was more than 110 yuan, and Feng's mother's salary in "October" was about the same, with a salary of more than 100 yuan.
Therefore, the combined salary of the two of them is more than 200 per month, and there is no need for their children to pay living expenses.
Even though Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law, treats everyone equally, the Feng family prefers to receive special treatment because of their pregnancy.
In this way, if there is no need to pay living expenses, Cheng Xuemin and Feng's family will more or less buy some food to go home and add more food.
Not to mention the big fish and meat Yanjing Roast Duck is indispensable for today’s celebration.
"Daughter-in-law, let's celebrate quickly while there's no one at home?"
After pushing the bicycle into the yard, the Feng family called out to their parents and sisters-in-law, but no one responded. Cheng Xuemin knew that there was no one at home, so that was the case!
After entering his house, Cheng Xuemin locked the door and laughed!
"No, no!...Xuemin Xuemin, tonight...I'll help you tonight. My parents, brother and sister-in-law are all coming back from get off work soon!"
Although I left Yanda at three or four o'clock, I took a detour to Quanjude and the pigeon market.
So it was already five or six o'clock when we got home, and it was already dark!
Her parents, brother and sister-in-law might all be at the gate of the outer courtyard after get off work. Cheng Xuemin, a bad guy, still wants to come. Did he forget the lesson he learned that night when the Feng family members blocked him under the table and forced him to go out for ten yuan?
“Hurry up, clean up your situation, and revise your manuscript before the momentum is over!”
"I'm going to pick vegetables and cook the rice first!"
I really can't be alone in a room with a bad guy like Cheng Xuemin. I just want to think about everything, which makes the young Feng family feel uncomfortable every time they can't get what they want and can't give up.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have gotten pregnant so early!
But then again, the urge was so sudden that night, and there were three shots. She couldn't get pregnant if she wanted to. Could she still get contraception at the educated youth center?
"Daughter-in-law, actually we can be more careful at night!"
At this stage of pregnancy, Feng Jiayou may be more worried than he is, just afraid of going too far and getting stabbed!
So I have been enduring it!
But it has been four or five months now, and it is in a stable period. You can still be more careful when it comes to what you need!
"No! You are messing around. Do you really have to be responsible for something?"
Feng Jiayou glared at Cheng Xuemin persistently, quickly opened the door and slammed the door away. She really didn't dare to look into this guy's eyes!
“Sister, Old Cheng, mom bought a big roast duck, and we can add more vegetables tonight!”
Not long after, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo started shouting as soon as she entered the yard.
The mother-in-law also bought a large roast duck, which is rare!
It seems that the mother-in-law is in a very, very good mood today. Otherwise, with her diligent and frugal housekeeping, she would rarely bring back the Quanjude Roast Duck.
Anyway, Cheng Xuemin has been in Yanjingdu for more than a month. Except for the couple who bought roast duck, no one seems to have bought it, right?
Feng's mother secretly gives her daughter Feng Jiayou extra meals from time to time. Her sister-in-law Ke Yumei is equally good. She often greets Feng Jiayou's sister-in-law and brings her some supplements.
The second sister-in-law may not have a man around her, but she also has two children, and her life is very tight. She doesn't have any special care for her sister-in-law Feng Jiayou, but just moving their house to them is worth Cheng Xuemin's memory. lifetime!
Needless to say, Feng's father secretly gave five or ten yuan to his daughter, Feng Jiayou. That was a common thing!
Otherwise, Feng Jiayou's small treasury was basically untouched. Where did her big fish, meat, and roast duck come from?
So, it is nothing more than wool coming from the sheep, and it is best for the whole family to be happy.
"Huh? Mom, you bought roast duck too!?"
"Xuemin and I also bought one, chopped some meat, and bought a grass carp!"
Feng Jiayou poked her head out of the kitchen, looked at her mother who was pushing a bicycle in with surprise, and shouted.
"Ha, sister, you also bought a big roast duck?! What a good day is today? Even mom bought a roast duck and two kilograms of meat!"
When sister-in-law Feng Jiamo heard this, she threw her schoolbag on the stone table in the yard and rushed into the kitchen!
"Wash your hands, Feng Jiamo, are you starving to death and reincarnating? Wait a little, mom is happy today, the braised pork and roast duck are enough!"
"Hehe, sister, please tell me, why is mom so happy!? Buying so much meat, fish, and roast duck..."
"Did the manuscript by Da Laocheng pass!?"
…
Soon, the three women in the kitchen were having a scene, talking and laughing!
"Xuemin, where are you revising the draft!?"
For the first time, Father Feng entered the east wing room where Cheng Xuemin and his daughter lived. When I saw Cheng Xuemin sitting at the desk at the door, probably revising today's manuscript, I greeted him and asked.
"Dad! Come in and sit down!"
Cheng Xuemin was surprised, looked back and quickly stood up to say hello.
"This house... let's hold on a little longer. The Foreign Languages Publishing House should have separate rooms after the new year!"
Father Feng came in and found that there was no place to put his feet. Looking at the books in the room, he couldn't help but frown and said.
I had agreed with Lao Qian before to move all the books in this house to the west!
But I don’t know if my son-in-law likes reading, or if he really likes reading, he actually kept all these books, making the not-so-large penthouse even more crowded!
But now it seems that his son-in-law really likes reading, otherwise there would be no way to put two satellites in succession!
Needless to say, the Wrangler of Yanjing Literature!
Today's article "Director Qiao's appointment" is even more outrageous. He accompanied his wife all the way back. Listening to what happened before and after today's meeting with the big boss, Father Feng's jaw really almost dropped.
Lao Wu, a well-educated man, personally received him, and he was accompanied by Mao Lao, a leading figure in the literary world, and Mr. Ding Lingding, a leader of his generation, who gave his son-in-law a hand in revising the manuscript.
grass!
When Father Feng heard this, he called me a scolding mother. This kind of treatment is really unprecedented, right?
Later, I heard that even those over there were alarmed, and they even ordered a review of "Timely Rain". The only thing missing was such an article that responded to the spirit of the meeting.
Father Feng's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and his eyes were filled with excitement and tears. He kept saying to him, "It's over, it's over, it's all really over!"
So as soon as he got home, Father Feng couldn't wait to have a good chat with his son-in-law. He really wanted to have a good chat.
"Dad, this is actually not bad. My parents and I are used to it! I usually write here and write manuscripts. When I'm tired, I lie down. It's really not bad to have so many books to read at my fingertips! "
The whole family is waiting for the allocated house from Feng's father's work unit, except Cheng Xuemin, Feng Jiayou and his wife.
Now that they are making a small amount of money, they plan to buy a house and move out to live alone!
But now, Cheng Xuemin didn't tell Feng's father or Feng's mother in advance to let them know.
Once the house is almost ready, it’s not too late to mention it.
"Yeah! On the way back, your mother told me that since this manuscript can be highly valued by the leader..."
At the dinner table, Feng's father had a rare drink and took Cheng Xuemin to accompany him for two drinks.
The whole family also knew about today's big event, and they were all surprised and overjoyed by Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law and brother-in-law.
This is not the same son-in-law with muddy legs who came to the door a month ago!
"By the way, Xuemin, our studio is planning to make a movie about your "Wrangler". I heard that the director is asking Xie Jin from Shanghai to direct it. You want me to do the script? How about writing?”
After three rounds of drinking, my uncle got down to business and asked about "Wrangler" being made into a movie!
Needless to say, the director is a new generation of outstanding young directors, Xie Jin of Shanghai Film Studio.
The script has not been decided yet!
However, my uncle wanted to personally take charge and help his brother-in-law write the script "Wrangler" well.
After all, he is a teacher at Nortel and a working screenwriter at Beijing Film Studio. He specializes in screenwriting. He is familiar with this job!
So, when my uncle made such a suggestion, his elder sister-in-law Ke Yumei, second sister-in-law Sun Juan, and sister-in-law Feng Jiamo all raised their heads and looked at Cheng Xuemin.
"You can let your brother write it. Although he is not good at other things, he still has a solid foundation in scripts!"
Feng's mother nodded when she heard this, but didn't think much about it. "Wrangler" originally belonged to his son-in-law. It was only a matter of time before it was made into a movie. The script was written for whomever it was.
Asking his brother to help adapt a script would allow him to benefit from the reputation of Cheng Xuemin, his brother-in-law, and gain some qualifications at their Beijing Film Studio.
After all, this is "The Wrangler", a major star released by Li Qingquan of Yanjing Literature. If it is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be a hit.
Moreover, there is an atomic bomb at the back, so he will also ask his brother to help write the script! In this way, his brother has a foundation in these two works, and he can be considered a rising star in the screenwriting industry!
"Brother, if "The Wrangler" is adapted into a movie, will Xiamin get royalties?"
But at this time, Tiangang Feng Jiayou asked a question that Cheng Xuemin also wanted to know.
If Wrangler is adapted into a movie, will he get the royalties for the adaptation?
"Yes, if I adapt your "Wrangler" by Xuemin into a movie, our studio will definitely pay royalties!" My uncle Feng Jiazhao nodded and said.
It would be great if I could get royalties. I can actually collect royalties twice. This is good, this is good!
The young Feng family smiled happily and asked again: "Brother, how many scholars can there be?"
Similarly, Cheng Xuemin is also very concerned about how much royalties he can get.
Even the elder sister-in-law Ke Yumei, the second sister-in-law Sun Juan, and the sister-in-law Feng Jiamo next to her were all listening with their ears pricked up.
The same goes for Feng's mother and Feng's father, but they have long known that there must be royalties!
"It's like this. According to the regulations of our studio and above, if Xuemin only authorized not to participate in the production of the script, he should be able to get an adaptation fee of three to four hundred!"
"If Xuemin, the author of the original work, participates in the adaptation, the profit will be divided according to the degree of his participation. If he completes the entire adaptation of "The Wrangler" alone, I estimate that the profit will be two thousand!"
Hooray, Feng Jiayou stood up immediately after hearing this and said: "Xuemin, we can adapt it ourselves, can you do it?!"
Are you kidding? If you don’t participate, you’ll get three to four hundred yuan, and if you directly participate, you’ll get two thousand yuan. Does this give Feng Jiayou, a little money-lover, any choice?
