"No!"
The progress was stopped by a soft shout. Zhou Yan let go of Shizuka Kudo and looked at her quietly. Is it going to stop like last time?
But this time Kudo Shizuka did not run away. She blushed and buried her head in Zhou Yan's arms, murmuring in a low voice, "Not here, here."
(Here Two hundred words deleted)
Shizuka Kudo covered her head with the quilt, while Zhou Yan looked at the sheets in confusion.
Shizuka Kudo's initiative made Zhou Yan think that even if she was not a master here, she could not be a novice. But judging from her performance just now and the red stain on the sheets, it turned out to be her first time.
He wanted to ask Kudo Shizuka if she had never had a boyfriend before, but he couldn't ask the question.
Perhaps because she heard Zhou Yan's silence, Kudo Shizuka slowly pulled the quilt down to reveal her eyes. Most of the redness on her face faded, but her eyes still contained spring water.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yan came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."
"Can you turn off the lights?" Kudo Shizuka asked softly.
Zhou Yan looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and it was not a good idea to send Shizuka Kudo back to the hotel now.
Nangong Songzi and the others are really big-hearted. The artist didn’t go back so late, and they didn’t even ask.
It can be seen that Ogi Productions has very little involvement in the private lives of artists.
Zhou Yan reached out to turn off the light in the room, and then got into the bed. Kudo Shizuka huddled in Zhou Yan's arms like a kitten.
She said in an inaudible voice, "It hurts a little."
Zhou Yan didn't speak, he just held her in his arms and gently stroked her long hair.
Just now, Zhou Yan was indeed dominated by desire and was not compassionate enough. The key point was that he did not expect that this was Kudo Shizuka's first time.
I don’t know what kind of shampoo Kudo Shizuka is using. It smells very good. It was a bit strong when I first smelled it, but as I continued to smell it, I couldn’t catch the smell and it became very light.
Feeling Zhou Yan's tenderness, Kudo Shizuka pressed her head tightly against Zhou Yan's chest. Zhou Yan's heartbeat was slow and powerful, with a hypnotic power, making Kudo Shizuka gradually fall asleep.
————
When Kudo Shizuka woke up the next morning, Zhou Yan was no longer beside her. Looking at the empty bed beside her, she felt a little lost. When she saw the blush on the bed, her face also followed. became red.
Scenes from last night reappeared in her mind.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, and she quickly covered her head with the quilt.
Zhou Yan knew she was awake, so he called out, "Jingxiang, get up and have breakfast. I bought you a set of clothes, but I don't know if they will fit."
Shizuka Kudo didn't show her head, and said from inside the quilt, "You go out, I will change by myself."
Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head. The two of them had been frank with each other. Do they have to carry their clothes behind their backs? .
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the living room."
After a while, Shizuka Kudo appeared in the living room wearing new clothes. Zhou Yan looked up and down, "Well, they fit quite well. ”
The clothes Zhou Yan bought for her were very simple, just a half-length skirt and a long-sleeved sweater. Simple and not easy to make mistakes. This kind of clothes can be worn in larger or smaller sizes. .
Shizuka is of average height, and clothes are easy to buy. However, Zhou Yan can only rely on his feeling for the size of his underwear, but now it seems that Zhou Yan's feel is quite accurate.
“Let’s eat.” Zhou Yan pulled out the chair next to him.
Kudo Shizuka nodded, walked to Zhou Yan and sat down. Zhou Yan asked her, "Are you going to the hotel later, or directly?"
"Go to the hotel, I'll go back and take a shower." A bath."
"Well, after dinner, I'll take you there." Zhou Yan thought for a moment and then said, "I'll be here all day, and I'll take you to practice ukulele if I have time in the afternoon. Beautiful.”
"Okay~"
——
The courtyard is very close to the Xufeng Hotel. Zhou Yan sent Kudo Shizuka back on foot. Kudo Shizuka was still worried about whether she would meet Nangong Songzi and the others on the way, but Until Zhou Yan sent her to the door, she didn't see anyone she knew.
After returning to the courtyard, Zhou Yan was originally going to clean up the bed, but found that the red bed sheet had disappeared.
It was most likely Kudo Shizuka who took her away. When she left, she carried a bag. Zhou Yan thought it was just the clothes he changed, but now that he thought about it, there should be sheets in it.
When Zhou Yan arrived, Kudo Shizuka had already entered the recording studio to record. Zhou Yan stood outside for a while and then returned to his office.
After lunch, Zhou Yan was going to take Kudo Shizuka to practice ukulele, but Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng came instead.
Zhou Yan was surprised to see the two of them, "Why don't you say hello in advance when you come over?"
Normally, if the two of them want to come over, they will call in advance, otherwise , Zhou Yan may not be there.
Shi Tiesheng smiled and said, "I also said I would greet you in advance, but Yu Hua insists on giving you a surprise."
"It doesn't matter if I'm surprised or not. If I weren't here, wouldn't you be in vain?" Zhou Yan smiled and stood up to make tea for them.
Yu Hua said nonchalantly, "If you're not here, we'll go watch other people rehearse. There's no way there's going to be no one there."
There are one to two hundred people in the Piano Youth Orchestra, so Even in the middle of the week, there are many people practicing here every day, and it is impossible for no one to be there.
Zhou Yan made a cup of tea for each of them, "It's just in time for you to come over. The day before yesterday, there was news from Shueisha that our collection will be on the shelves soon, and sample books will be sent over in a while."< br>
In May and June, Shueisha contacted us to help them publish a collection. Because they needed to be translated, it took several months of preparation, and the book was finally on the shelves.
Hearing the news, both of them were very happy. Yu Hua threw a cigarette to Shi Tiesheng, lit another one himself, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that we don't understand neon language, otherwise we can still read this translation." How is the level?”
Translation is a top priority when a work is published in a foreign country. For the same book, the content of the book may be completely different due to different translations. Some well-known translators will pour themselves into the work. feelings and understanding.
Some books, the original text is very good, but because of the translation, they did not get good results in the end.
There are also some books whose original text is mediocre, but the translation is much better, and thus they are very popular.
Of course, it is usually the first case.
Zhou Yan sat down in front of them holding a teacup and gave them a shot first. "Don't have high hopes for the sales of the collection. The book market in Neon is very closed, and foreign books are not easy to sell."
Neon readers generally maintain a repulsive attitude towards foreign works. They are more interested in traditional Chinese literature, but it is difficult for modern Chinese literature to enter their field of vision.
The reason why Shueisha is willing to publish their collection is because the video tape shot by Shue Nomura was selling well in Neon, which was considered a gimmick. After many Neon people learned that Zhou Yan was a writer and that the two people next to him were also writers, they all responded that they wanted to read their works.
Yu Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "My novels have only average sales in China, so naturally I don't expect them to sell well in Neon. Besides, we don't have the royalties. Earn it.”
The contract they signed with Shueisha at that time stipulated that the first printing should be at least 80,000 copies.
The settlement of manuscript fees is based on the number of first printings. In other words, the three of them can get at least 80,000 copies of manuscript fees. Of these royalties, Yu Hua will eventually get more than 70,000. yuan, and Shi Tiesheng could get more than 50,000 yuan.
This money is naturally a drop in the bucket for Zhou Yan, but for Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng, it is very considerable. Recently, Yu Hua has begun to consider buying a house.
"Haha, there is no hope at all. Maybe there will be some surprises, and then you can change your house."
"If this is the case, of course it is best. I have recently been Thinking about buying a house ”
"I'll ask someone to keep an eye on it for you later."
"That's good."
——
The three of them chatted for a while, and there was a knock on the office door. , Zhou Yan turned around and responded, "Come in."
Shizuka Kudo slowly opened the door. When she saw Shi Tiesheng and Yu Hua, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zhou Yan, "I still practice in the afternoon, Ukli Li? ”
Zhou Yan thought for a while and replied, "Wait a moment, two friends are here. I'll go over when I'm done here."
Kudo Shizuka took the initiative to say hello to Yu Hua and the others, "Hello."< br>
“Hello.”
Since they greeted each other, Zhou Yan introduced him by the way, “This is Shizuka Kudo, a famous singer from Neon. Shizuka, this is Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng, Two very good writers.”
After listening to Zhou Yan’s introduction, Kudo Shizuka’s eyes suddenly widened, “I know you!”
Zhou Yan was not surprised at all. He smiled and nodded, "In the previous videos of the songs "Distant Journey" and "Borrowing Cucumber", they were the ones next to me."
"Nice to meet you, Nice to meet you.”
Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng were also surprised. They didn’t expect to see the Neon singer here, and Shizuka Kudo spoke quite well in Mandarin, although her accent was very strong. , but the expression is quite fluent.
Mainly because they were talking about neon just now, it was quite a coincidence that they met a neon man.
Shizuka Kudo said happily, "I watched that video tape many times. Unfortunately, I wanted to read your book, but I couldn't find it in Neon."
Yu Hua joked, "Miss Kudo, trying to find something that doesn't exist is what scientists do."
Kudo Shizuka was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and then burst out laughing, " Mr. Yu Hua, you are very humorous."
As she said that, she sat down in the empty seat next to Zhou Yan, "When my Chinese gets better, I can read your book."
In fact, what she paid most attention to was Zhou Yan's novels. She had heard someone say before that Zhou Yan was also a novelist, and the movie adapted from his novel even won an international award.
She not only looked for Zhou Yan's novel, but also looked for the movie "Tree Hole", but she couldn't find it.
Yu Hua waved his hand, "No, a collection of our novels will be released on Neon in a while. Zhou Yan was still talking to us about this just now."
"Really?" Shizuka Kudo said with a look on her face. Looking at Zhou Yan in surprise.
Zhou Yan nodded, "It should be released on Neon next week."
"What's the title of the book?"
"The book is called "Zhou Yan Yu Hua Shi Tiesheng" ", it's very simple, it's our three names."
"Zhou Yan, Yu Hua, Shi Tiesheng -" Shizuka Kudo read it silently, then nodded and said, "I remember it. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the bookstore to buy it." (Modified)
Yu Hua smiled Hehe said, "Let Zhou Yan give you a copy."
"It's okay, Shizuka is rich, let her support our sales."
"But, you have to , give me your autograph." Shizuka Kudo said.
“That’s no problem.” Yu Hua responded immediately, “I promise you, I will sign as many copies as you buy.”
Kudo Shizuka said seriously, "Then I can buy more and then sell them. I will definitely make a lot of money."
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's not necessary -" (modified )
"Hehe, I'm just kidding." Shizuka Kudo smiled, then stood up and said, "Mr. Yu Hua, Mr. Shi Tiesheng, I'm sorry."
"Well, goodbye."
Kudo Shizuka looked at Zhou Yan again, "I'm waiting for you to accompany me and play the piano."
"Yeah." Zhou Yan nodded.
After Kudo Shizuka left, Yu Hua said with a half-smile, "Is it an accent problem? Why did I hear her talking about playing the piano, as if she was talking about falling in love?"
Shi Tiesheng is also rare. He made a joke about Zhou Yan, "I think she wanted to have a relationship, because the accent was like playing the piano. Zhou Yan is still popular at home and abroad."
"I wrote a few songs for her The song is being recorded here recently," Zhou Yan explained.
Yu Hua pursed her lips and said, "We didn't ask you why she appeared here. You don't have to rush to explain."
"Since when have you been so generous?"
"This is not about being generous, but the care that the two of us have for you."
Zhou Yan curled his lips, "I understand."< br>
Yu Hua smiled and stopped talking about Shizuka Kudo, and asked about Zhou Yan's new movie, "Have you confirmed where your new movie will be shot? If it's close, then by then I’ll join in the fun with Tie Sheng.”
“It’s not decided yet, but it should be soon. If there is no other choice, I actually want to shoot there.”
"Really?" Yu Hua became interested, "That's a good idea. The cucumbers over at Jiangjuntuo are quite delicious."
"You just miss the cucumbers from my hometown." Shi Tiesheng said with a smile.
Yu Hua said seriously, "Your answer is very wrong. It's not that I miss them, but that I have a fate with them."
Zhou Yan joked, "Not only do you You have a fate with Jiangjun Tuo’s cucumbers, and you have a fate with their dogs.” (End of Chapter)
