Chapter 194: Royalties continue to explode, and the first million-yuan account is reached (please subscribe)
“Daughter-in-law, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”
Cheng Xuemin originally wanted to blurt out and ask the woman which news she wanted to hear first!
But seeing his wife's growing belly, Cheng Xuemin swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.
Said: "Daughter-in-law, I have already told you that it is usually a good thing when Mr. Wu calls me over!"
"Good things, good things, my wife, don't worry!"
Then he supported the woman and asked casually: "Daughter-in-law, why are you getting out of school so early today? Didn't I pick you up at school?"
As soon as Cheng Xuemin received the payment slip from the Humanities Club, he rushed back without stopping, but he did not receive her at Yanda.
Said he had come home!
Only then did Cheng Xuemin follow him back, but his wife, who was looking forward to it, was blocked at the door.
My belly is pregnant, and I may have to rest at home in a few months to wait for delivery, and I won’t even be able to go to school if I take a long vacation.
So at this juncture, Cheng Xuemin was really afraid of scaring her out when he brought up the matter of going south to the front line with her.
So Cheng Xuemin still swallowed the words that came to his lips just now.
This matter must be hidden from the Feng family!
You have to find a reason for this, and you must hide it from the woman.
Later tonight, I will discuss with my father-in-law and mother-in-law how to unite and hide the woman.
"Good thing?! Then what did Mr. Wu say? What on earth did you go to find me for?"
"I only have two classes in the afternoon, and I'll be back right after I finish them!"
Feng Jiayou looked at Cheng Xuemin with a suspicious face, asked a quick question, and then explained.
"Of course it's a good thing!"
Cheng Xuemin then started to fool around again and said, "When Mr. Wu called me over today, he first wanted to praise you, old man, for what I said was good. You are worthy of being the pioneer of reform appointed by the inscription old man. I want other college students and young people to pay more attention to you, man, and me." Studying.”
"Really? Mr. Wu really said that?"
Feng Jiayou's face was full of tension when she heard this, and then she relaxed. As long as she didn't reprimand her man.
"Can it be true?!" Cheng Xuemin helped the woman back into the house and continued, "Also, Mr. Wu also gave instructions to compile what I said that day into an article as soon as possible!"
"He has already said hello to People's Literature, and People's Literature will publish it for your man as soon as it is finished!"
"So, your man is going to the People's Literature School again, and it's approved by the higher authorities. Is this a good thing?"
Cheng Xuemin's words were half true and half false. Mr. Wu actually did not push for this matter.
It was Zhang Guangnian of People's Literature who took the initiative to attract Cheng Xuemin and asked him to write the manuscript.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin simply learned and applied it now, just in time to deal with his daughter-in-law.
"Really?! That's a good thing, that's a good thing!"
The Feng family's little heart was finally relieved. Her man's tone was unmistakable.
"Xuemin's family is young, what's so good about it? I heard you talking about it from afar!"
Cheng Xuemin had just helped the Feng family into the house, and the elder sister and the others who were reviewing their homework asked jokingly.
"Sister, Xuemin has been praised by Mr. Wu, and now he feels happy!"
"By the way, sister, Mr. Wu is the big leader in Zhonghaili!"
Feng Jiayou also replied to his elder sister Cheng Wenxiu and the others without being too flattering.
Just like this!
The second sister-in-law, Sun Juan, was fine. She was numb to her brother-in-law.
The difference between my sister Cheng Wenxiu and her cousin Qin Xiaolian, who came here only a few years ago, is that they are the big leaders in Zhonghai!
Unexpectedly, her brother, her brother, could actually reach Tianting directly. Not only could he meet the big leaders there, he would also be praised.
It’s incredible! It’s incredible!
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xuemin also checked on the three of them's review situation at home.
Because he had memorized by rote for almost a month, Cheng Xuemin also checked his results.
The second sister-in-law and cousin Xiaolian are fine. After all, one of them has been preparing for the college entrance examination for a year, and the other is a fresh graduate in school. They haven't forgotten much of what they just learned.
Therefore, the results of the two of them in the past month are quite acceptable. They will need to spend a certain amount of time every day to consolidate.
My sister's progress is about to fall a little behind, and she must continue to maintain her progress.
At the same time, the monthly exams at the High School Affiliated to Yan University were about to begin, and Cheng Xuemin had already greeted his class teacher before.
He probably won't be able to take the monthly exams this semester.
He also hopes that the school can prepare a few more sets of test papers so that he can take them back and give them to the three people at home who are preparing for the exams and also take the exams.
Of course, this is actually a matter of just one sentence from Cheng Xuemin.
When the monthly exams really start, sister-in-law Feng Jiamo will help bring the exam papers back so that the second sister-in-law and the others can also take the exams.
Let’s also see if their current review level is comparable to that of the High School Affiliated to Yan University.
After this monthly exam, Cheng Xuemin should start the next round of intensive review.
Although there was an unexpected change that required them to head south immediately, Cheng Xuemin had made adequate preparations in the previous month, so they were not caught off guard.
Because even if he does not go south this month, he may still leave to film "The Wrangler" according to the original plan, so Cheng Xuemin has long expected that he may not be in Yanjing in the next month or two.
Before Cheng Xuemin left, he would leave all the arrangements and let his second sister-in-law and the others review on their own. He would come back to check the learning results and make the final sprint for the college entrance examination.
Anyway, with half a copy of "Three-Year and Five-Year College Entrance Examination Simulation" in hand, Cheng Xuemin really didn't believe that he couldn't train his second sister-in-law and the others.
"Daughter-in-law, you were always winking at me and urging me to come in. Do you think so?"
After checking the second sister-in-law and their review, they also went to the front yard to prepare dinner, and to pick up the children from the kindergarten.
Cheng Xuemin took advantage of the situation and entered his room, looking at Feng Jiayou with a look that was not too lewd.
This girl was feeling uncomfortable just now, and she kept winking at him secretly at the door of the house, thinking that this woman had a big belly, and she was becoming more and more unscrupulous in that regard!
It's not getting dark yet, and the second sister-in-law and the others are still outside!
He rushed towards Cheng Xuemin impatiently, winked secretly, and said: Old man, come and play!
That’s okay!
Next, Cheng Xuemin went south, and he didn’t know how many months he would be able to turn around. If a woman’s belly continues to grow like this, what should she do if there is no old man like Cheng Xuemin by her side?
"Old man, look, what did I receive today?"
The young Feng family didn't seem to understand Cheng Xuemin's lewd words at all. Instead, she tremblingly took out a big red iron box from under the quilt on the bed and said to Cheng Xuemin mysteriously.
"this……"
This big red iron box should not be too familiar to Cheng Xuemin, it is the Feng family's small treasury!
She always kept the manuscript fee slips that Cheng Xuemin brought back, carefully hiding them like a treasure.
In the past, when a new royalties bill came in, after dinner, the couple would go into the house, lock the door, and happily take it out to calculate.
But today is a good day!
Even before dinner, the woman moved out her little treasury!
Obviously, there is no need to guess at all!
Woman, she must have received the fee bill again today, and it was mailed!
And the amount may be a bit large. The woman is so nervous that her hands are shaking now.
Since it was a large amount of royalties sent by mail, Cheng Xuemin just thought about it and guessed which company sent the royalties in the mail.
"Guess first!"
Feng Jiayou's beautiful eyes lit up and she encouraged her old man to take a guess. What’s there to guess!
Cheng Xuemin was confused and guessed: "It's the script fee for "Loess High Slope", has it arrived?"
There’s really no need to guess!
The fee slips that can be mailed now are from northern Shaanxi and Shanghai.
In other directions, Cheng Xuemin has not submitted any manuscripts at all.
Over in Shanghai, the manuscripts submitted by Cheng Xuemin have basically been paid out before the year, and then there may be the manuscript fees for single editions, and the fee bills for reprints.
Cheng Xuemin is not so sure about this.
Because his manuscripts were reprinted in other places, they were rarely paid for reprinting. Cheng Xuemin didn't receive a few copies, so he didn't have much hope.
As a stand-alone book!
It may be "Chen Huansheng Enters the City" for Li Xiaolin's "Harvest". It may be released as a single volume, but it may not be released.
Because the single volume of "Chen Huansheng Enters the City" has actually been distributed by the Humanities Society.
It is the single volume of "Gaikai Pioneer" that the old man who wrote the inscription ordered, and the four manuscripts in it were published together.
Therefore, since it has already been published, Shanghai People's Literature Publishing House should not publish another single volume.
In this way, Shanghai will be directly excluded.
What about northern Shaanxi!
The new manuscript written by Cheng Xuemin was sent not long ago, and Yanhe Literature may have just received his submission, so the payment for the manuscript must not be that fast.
Unless, during the Chinese New Year, Cheng Xuemin passed by when he returned to Beijing and left behind the script of "Loess High Slope".
Counting the time, the reply from Xiying Studio should have arrived.
Therefore, 80% is the bill for the script of "Loess Plateau", and Feng Jiayou received it today.
"Hehe, old man, in addition to the script fee bill for the Loess Gaopo script, there are other things!"
"Guess again!"
Feng Jiayou's face really didn't want to be too beautiful. She followed Cheng Xuemin with a clever ghost and secretly took out a royalties slip from the small vault and asked Cheng Xuemin to guess again!
I was afraid that Cheng Xuemin would see what was inside her box.
"besides?!"
Cheng Xuemin took the fee slip handed over by the woman and glanced at it. It was the fee slip for the script "Loess Plateau" sent by Yanhe Literature.
One thousand seven hundred dollars!
It’s like giving the industry the top royalties for a single movie script!
The royalties for "The Wrangler" previously given to Yan Film Studio were 2,000 yuan, which was Xie Jin's contribution.
Because Cheng Xuemin conveniently helped director Xie Jin and drew all the storyboards.
Although Xie Jin stubbornly re-drawed a lot on this basis, it also cost a lot, so he was given a script fee of 2,000 yuan.
This time for "Loess High Slope" for West Film Studio, Cheng Xuemin learned the lesson and didn't bother to draw the storyboards.
Because this is the director's job, if Cheng Xuemin does it all...
If you meet a better director, that's all. They can also give you a little extra subsidy for your manuscript fee, such as Xie Jin!
But when I met a more arrogant director and saw that even the storyboards were drawn in the script, I was forced to give up and said, "You can do it, you can direct it!"
In this era, there are many old artists with such temperament and personality.
So after Cheng Xuemin learned a lesson, he no longer dared to do those superfluous and thankless things.
Therefore, the script fee of 1,700 yuan given by Xiying Film Studio is considered to be high-end!
“Can’t you guess?”
Seeing Cheng Xuemin's face full of surprise and suspicion, Feng Jiayou didn't want to be too proud and said: "Dangdangdang, old man, look at what this is?"
Immediately afterwards, he mysteriously took out a bill of royalties from the small vault, and now in front of Cheng Xuemin, he smiled infatuatedly.
"Another sixteen hundred dollars?"
"Shanghai Studio?"
"The script fee for "Female College Dormitory" has arrived so soon?"
When Cheng Xuemin 'snatched' the woman's royalties bill and glanced at it, Cheng Xuemin couldn't help but be surprised!
Because the script of "Female College Dormitory" was written by Cheng Xuemin after the year, and it didn't take half a month to mail it to Xie Jin over there in Shanghai, right?
Why did the fee slip arrive in the mail so quickly?
And it was sent by mail? !
Cheng Xuemin originally thought that even if the manuscript could be completed so quickly, Xie Jin would have to bring it with him when he returned to Beijing.
Why did you send it directly?
"Hehe, today is full of good things and happy events. I didn't expect to go to Mr. Tang's place and find out that the fee bills for these two scripts arrived on the same day!"
The Feng family was walking home today and stopped at Tang Lao's mailing and receiving guard room to see if there were any letters from the two of them.
But who knew he could give her such two big surprises.
The two scripts submitted by her man actually received a reply letter and payment receipt on the same day. It was so beautiful to the woman.
Isn't it so beautiful that the young Feng family just kept winking at her old man at the door, reminding her to come in quickly and see the baby?
"It is indeed a good thing. Wife, are you feeling beautiful?!"
Cheng Xuemin felt even more damn beautiful!
"Hehe, old man, I did the math. With these two royalties in my account, our savings have caught up to what we had before we bought the house!"
Feng Jiayou took back the two manuscript fee slips that he had shown to Cheng Xuemin, and said to Cheng Xuemin not to be too flattering, "There are more than eight thousand again! Old man, if we work harder, we will soon be able to achieve what we have achieved." The first ten thousand-yuan household in our family!”
Ten thousand yuan household!
This is also a term Feng Jiayou learned from Cheng Xuemin. A family with a savings of 10,000 yuan is a household with 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, her old man also estimated that under the current situation, there are only a handful of people in the country who can get a deposit of 10,000 yuan.
But what Feng Jiayou didn't expect was that the couple would unknowingly and accidentally become one of the rare ones.
Ten thousand yuan household!
Anyway, according to the Feng family's estimation, her mother definitely doesn't have a savings of 10,000 yuan, let alone her eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law!
Even if it is her grandparents...
There is definitely no cash deposit of 10,000 yuan, but there must be some other gold bars hidden. After all, he was a red capitalist in his early years.
Even if he was knocked down once, he would definitely keep some of it at home.
But the cash is definitely not as much as the young couple.
so!
The Feng family is young and certain that they, as a couple, will definitely become the first in their family to achieve the achievement of a household worth 10,000 yuan.
"Daughter-in-law, how many do we have here? How many are we short of 10,000?"
Cheng Xuemin saw the little money fan's look of not being too yearning, and then asked in a low voice.
"Hehe, there are more than 8,400!"
"There are still sixteen hundred yuan left. Come on, old man, work harder, work harder..."
"Ah, old man, you also received the royalties today?"
"How many?"
Cheng Xuemin didn't wait for the woman to encourage him to continue working hard on writing the manuscript. He directly took out a manuscript fee slip and presented it in front of the woman.
In an instant, my wife's eyes were so surprised that they didn't light up too much.
"No more, no less, it's one thousand six hundred and twenty-three yuan, which is enough to help my wife achieve a household worth ten thousand yuan!"
…
Asking for a monthly ticket!
