Chapter 118 Uninvited guest, Nan Gongxue takes the initiative to invite you to watch a movie (please book in full)
In terms of price, People’s Literature Publishing House is really generous. Even the starting price of the comic book is seven yuan each, and there are more after that. Can rise.
Immediately!
Cheng Xuemin chose a book called "Journey to the West" that he was very familiar with. There were three volumes, upper, middle and lower, with a total of 198 pages. He took it back and started painting slowly.
Anyway, Lao Pan's time requirement here is that Cheng Xuemin must submit the manuscript for the volume within a month, which only has more than seventy pages.
More than seventy pages a month, an average of two pages a day, which is an insult to Cheng Xuemin's hand speed.
Try to turn in all the upper, middle and lower volumes within one month. How much will the manuscript fee be?
One page is seven yuan, and one hundred and ninety-eight pages is one thousand three hundred and eighty-six yuan. It’s wonderful to think about it.
So, if you do something in large quantities, you can satisfy it!
The Feng family's small treasury of more than 5,000 yuan was already beyond Cheng Xuemin's reach!
But now that I think about it, it’s not that difficult to catch up!
After finishing the little book "Journey to the West" in my hand, I also completed the 60 illustrations promised to Li Qingquan of Yanjing Literature, which is Xiao Liangqian!
In addition, Cheng Xuemin now has six to seven hundred yuan in his small coffers. It is not impossible to try hard to catch up with Feng Jiayou before the year!
After greeting Lao Pan, Cheng Xuemin went to sit at Zhang Guangnian’s side of People’s Literature Magazine!
"Record-breaking! Record-breaking! Xuemin, you came just in time. Let me tell you, the sales of this issue of our People's Literature magazine on the first day broke the record in the Yanjing area alone!"
Today, Lao Zhang is so angry!
When Cheng Xuemin came to his office, he yelled at him not to be too excited!
This issue of their magazine was just released yesterday. The sales in Yanjing alone were as high as 100,000 copies. Not to mention the sales across the country, most of them are probably still on the way.
But the sales volume in Yanjing alone is as high as 100,000 copies. What does this mean?
Exploded, exploded, exploded!
At their printing factory, they are already working overtime and doing emergency printing.
"Congratulations to Teacher Zhang. I am delivering a manuscript to Teacher Pan today. I stopped by to say hello!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and said hello to Lao Zhang. He was also smacking his lips at the sales volume. It was crazy!
Last month, Yanjing Literature sold 50,000 copies in one week, which already made Li Qingquan crazy with excitement!
But I didn’t expect that People’s Literature would be even more powerful. On the first day it was put on the shelves, the sales volume in Yanjing alone exceeded 100,000 copies!
Cheng Xuemin couldn't even imagine how popular this issue of "People's Literature" would be when it was distributed across the country and fermented for months.
Of course, Cheng Xuemin also knew it!
The reason why this issue of "People's Literature" is so popular may be related to the propaganda of the political mission of the propaganda outlet.
But even so, this sales volume is already very, very scary!
Unfortunately, the same sentence remains. Currently, there is no such thing as copyright remuneration in China. No matter how good the sales of magazines and newspapers are, it has nothing to do with him as the author.
His royalties are already worth seven yuan per thousand words!
“Sending manuscripts to Lao Pan! Xueminqian is so fast. Has he finished the manuscript of another masterpiece?”
Zhang Guangnian nodded repeatedly, but when he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Not an article!"
"Teacher Pan needed some illustrations for a single volume. I drew them and just handed them over!" Cheng Xuemin explained.
"Illustration!? Xuemin, do you still know how to draw?"
Zhang Guangnian was even more stunned now. He knew that this boy was good at writing articles. He heard that Wrangler was also going to be adapted into a movie. The script was also written by this boy himself.
And the writing is also very good. Even a guy as sharp as Xie Jin in Shanghai said that this guy's writing is good!
What's going on now? !
This guy can even do the illustrations needed to publish a single book?
"I understand a little bit!"
Cheng Xuemin said humbly and awkwardly.
"Understand a little!? Have you passed your illustration manuscript?" Zhang Guangnian's mouth twitched and he subconsciously asked a very silly question.
If Lao Pan hadn't given him this, would this kid still be in such a good mood and come here to say hello to him?
“I barely got by!”
I'm going!
Sure enough, it passed. Lao Pan is also famous for his strict requirements in the art editing team. Being able to pass his Lao Pan's draft shows that this kid's painting is not bad.
This guy is a damn talent, an all-rounder!
Later, Zhang Guangnian also emphasized to advise Cheng Xuemin that illustration is just a minor thing, and writing articles is the most important thing!
Let Cheng Xuemin work hard on the new manuscript after he goes back. The rest can be played occasionally in his free time, but don't get into it.
He also told him that if he had a new manuscript, he would be notified as soon as possible. Cheng Xuemin dealt with it politely and left Lao Zhang's office.
You have to calculate the time before coming out. After Feng Jiayou finishes class at 4:30 in the afternoon, there will be no class!
So he had to rush back to pick up people before half past four.
Yanda has also entered the final stage of final review. Next week is exam week, and the students walking back and forth on campus are also moving much faster.
"Hey, Huangtu...classmate!"
When passing by the Yan University Library, a female voice called to Cheng Xuemin, but he didn't react at first!
When did he become Huang Tu’s classmate?
But when he looked sideways, he saw Gong Yin standing high on the steps of the library. He couldn't help but be startled, then rode his bicycle over, put one foot on the steps, parked the bicycle and asked, "Classmate Gong Yin, what are you doing?" Are you calling me?"
"Hee hee, I still don't know what your name is! I almost couldn't hold it back and shouted out your pen name just now!" Gong Yin's flowing long hair was blown away by the cold wind, and he jumped towards Cheng Xuemin step by step, laughing. said hello.
"Okay, then you can call me Huangtu-san from now on!"
Cheng Xuemin is also happy. If his article "Loess High Slope" is called "Black Soil High Slope", wouldn't he become Gong Yin's black soil?
Is that black soil and black soil, am I white clouds?
White snow is almost enough!
"You are so insincere. I have been here at Yan University for so long and we are already old acquaintances. Why don't you even tell me your name?"
Gong Yin looked at Cheng Xuemin a little silly and said with a bulging mouth.
"The name is just a code name, and you called it Huangtu yourself. In this case, my exclusive nickname belongs to you!" Cheng Xuemin really didn't dare to let this woman know that his real name is Cheng Xuemin!
If she knew about it, even though she was a correspondence student here, she might not have much connections at Yanda.
But Cheng Xuemin, the real name of Wrangler Lao Xu, should not be spread too well in Yanda. If Gong Yin knows that his name is Cheng Xuemin, he will definitely know that he is Lao Xu, the author of Wrangler.
That's incredible!
Only Gong Yin knows about his Loess Gaopo vest now, but it won't be long before this woman can't help but spread the word.
"Okay, whatever you say, just do it!"
"But we have agreed that the nickname Huang Tu will be exclusive to me only!"
Gong Ying was initially aggrieved when he heard this, but when he heard it was an exclusive nickname, he couldn't help but feel happy and let Cheng Xuemin go without further pursuit.
"Absolutely, as long as Gong Yin keeps it secret and doesn't talk about my pen name of Huangtu Gaopo, it will be your exclusive Huangtu!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded quickly and emphasized whether to keep it secret or to keep it secret.
"Hehe, then I will definitely not talk nonsense to others, my mouth is quite tight!"
Gong Yin smiled again and said with a little pride!
Tight mouth?
You'd better not talk nonsense about this woman, especially don't talk nonsense like this to a boy, it's very dangerous!
What if someone wants to try it?
"It's best if it's tight!" Cheng Xuemin didn't dare to continue his speculations and asked again, "Why are you still here? Aren't there just classes in the morning?"
Last time I talked to Gong Ying, she only had correspondence courses at Yanda in the morning of 2356, but not in the afternoon!
But it's almost four o'clock now, and the woman is still staying here at Yanda. Doesn't she need to go back to her headquarters?
"Isn't this why I'm waiting for you here?"
When Gong Yin said this, he suddenly nodded shyly!
“Wait for me?!”
Cheng Xuemin was a little confused. Why did Gong Ying wait for him if he didn't return to her?
“Classmate Huang Tu, I don’t have to go to work tomorrow. If I have free time in the evening, can I invite you to watch a movie together?”
"In your Yan Auditorium, there is a Japanese movie showing tonight called "The Hunt"!"
At this point, Gong Yin lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her little hands, not even daring to look at Cheng Xuemin!
“Huh?”
Cheng Xuemin was dumbfounded and said ah.
Damn it, this...
Is this a date to watch a movie with yourself?
The sudden invitation from a girl made Cheng Xuemin confused on the spot. What is going on?
Gong in the south and Zhu Lin in the north, one actively invites him to watch the movie, and the other is Li Xiuzhi who is eager to play him.
Women, can you please stop doing this? He has a family, okay? If Feng Jiayou knew this, he would have to kneel on the washboard to break it.
"Gong Yin, I have actually watched this "Pursuit"!"
Seeing the woman shouting shyly and lowering her head, Cheng Xuemin could only refuse and said that he, a married man, was not qualified to watch a movie with an older girl.
"Have you seen it?!"
"Then I understand. I'll leave first and won't disturb you, Mr. Huang Tu!"
Gong Yin heard Cheng Xuemin say that she had seen it, but she originally wanted to say that she hadn't seen it and could they watch it again together?
But Bingxue was smart and quickly realized that this was a polite rejection of her! Gong Yin was so ashamed that he responded in a low voice and ran away.
Isn't it?
Cheng Xuemin watched the woman run over, fetch her car in a panic and ride away on her bicycle, thinking, "Isn't that okay?"
He had only met Gong Ying a few times, and it seemed that he had no special impression left on her. At most, she knew that he was the author of Loess Gaopo!
Why did you take the initiative to ask him to watch a movie together?
I can’t think too much, so I’d better hurry up and pick up Feng Jiayou, and tell Gong Yin clearly that he is not a classmate from Huangtu, his name is Huang Xuemin... bah bah bah, his name is Cheng Xuemin, he has a lover!
Don’t be a married man and let the older girls worry about you all the time. That’s not good!
After picking up Feng Jiayou, they had already celebrated several times in private because school ended early and the payment bills had been issued one after another in the past two days.
But the big roast duck promised to my niece and nephew was never fulfilled, so I took a detour to Quanjude and packed up a big roast duck and some chicken racks to make soup.
I went to Pigeon Market again and chopped two more pounds of meat and some vegetables.
When she came back, she happened to catch up with her mother who came back from work to cook. She had to be nagged by her mother all day long about how she was lavishly spending money. She didn't know how to save and save the little royalties she earned.
Nagging is nagging, this big dinner in the evening made the whole family mouth-watering and smiling!
Mother-in-law Feng Mu even brought back a sample issue of their "October" issue, saying that it would be sent for review early this morning and Mr. Wu had approved it and that it would be officially published on Monday.
This time, Feng's mother also went to the trial. Wu Laomushao praised her to her face for her high consciousness and a good son-in-law. It sounded like Feng's mother was walking with a smile!
The next day, Sunday, everyone rests at home!
Cheng Xuemin thought he could write manuscripts and draw little figures at home with peace of mind!
But I really didn’t expect that an uninvited guest suddenly came in, and Cheng Xuemin was so shocked that he looked stupid!
Even their Feng family youngster and Feng’s mother at home were stunned.
After the visitor explained his intention, Cheng Xuemin fell to the ground with fear and almost knelt down!
