Last year, Li Xiaoran heard Wu Yuchen ask this question once, but at that time she was still working happily and didn't even think about other ways out, so she simply refused.

But now, Li Xiaoran has quit his job and has no source of income. He also knows that he cannot stay at home forever and has to find another way out.

Shooting commercials or something is not a long-term solution. Maybe actors who have never considered it before are a good choice? After all, Zhang Yimou had come to see her before.

However, he still had to go to school for another four years, which made Li Xiaoran, who had been annoyed by the supervision at the dance academy, feel a little conflicted.

"I met Chen Kun in your song and dance troupe a few days ago, and he was admitted to our school."

"What? He went to your place?" Li Xiaoran asked in surprise.

Wu Yuchen nodded: "People who work to earn tuition now have to go to this school. You should think about it carefully."

Wu Yuchen didn't give any more advice. She would only understand some things after she experienced them herself.

Seeing Wu Yuchen carrying his bag and about to walk out of the room, Li Xiaoran shouted: "Come for dinner tonight and prepare something delicious for you~"

Wu Yuchen didn't look back and made an OK gesture. Li Xiaoran just held his chin with one hand and looked at the direction he left in a daze. Not thinking about work, but people.

In the past, Wu Yuchen was just like a young boy and a little brother who hadn't grown up in her eyes. However, in the past year, Wu Yuchen had changed a lot and he suddenly became a mature man. After several contacts with him, she felt that he was a mature man. I feel like I can rely on you.

Especially after Lu San's troubles in the past few months, she was even a little obsessed with the sense of peace that Wu Yuchen brought when he accompanied her these days.

When Li Xiaoran threw herself into Wu Yuchen's arms and kissed him last night, she almost couldn't help but kiss him on the mouth, but she avoided it when she thought that he had a girlfriend.

Li Xiaoran actually doesn't have the kind of coy character. If she had fallen in love with another boy, it didn't matter whether he had a girlfriend or not. If he could snatch her away, it would be hers. If he didn't, what big deal would it be?

But Wu Yuchen was different. The two of them had played together since childhood. If they didn't work out, it would probably be awkward to get along with each other in the future. She didn't want that.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran felt a little annoyed. Then she thought that she only had 200 yuan now. Not to mention the rent next month, even the food money was gone. She didn't want to go home in despair. It seemed that she had to pay for it tomorrow. Go out and make money.

She shook her head, not wanting to think about these worries anymore, and continued to play her "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in front of the computer. It was the game that she liked the most, and she would continue to save her Lin Yueru today!

At noon, Wu Yuchen returned home. At the dinner table, he saw his father smiling happily, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Dad, what are you so happy about?"

Wu Jianping laughed when he heard this and said, "I didn't tell you that you went abroad a while ago. The first 100,000 copies of "Bright Sword" were sold out last month. The response was very good, and our unit printed another 300,000 copies. This time it’s not just in North China, it has been sent to all parts of the country.”

Wu Yuchen also looked happy when he heard this. Is "Bright Sword" considered to have opened up sales?

"Dad, what do you think this grade is?"

"Sold 100,000 copies in two and a half months is pretty good, but it also has something to do with the current situation. You know the "...Declaration" signed by the United States and Xiaori in April, right? This is obviously for us, Now everyone is dissatisfied with their small life because of this. We encountered this problem as soon as "Bright Sword" was released, so we are really caught up."

When Wu Yuchen heard what his father said, he also understood that the quality of "Bright Sword" itself was of high quality, especially the wonderful descriptions of various wars in the small life. It was enjoyable to read. Now that I encounter this kind of situation again, I can't stop talking. According to legend, it naturally sells out quickly.

At this time, Zhou Shuping also complained: "You said that if you don't live a good life, you have to be a dog in the United States."

"Little life is a typical Muqiang culture, with little etiquette and no great righteousness. Once you get rid of it, they will obey you."

"Whenever I can let my little one scream at the Yankees."

"I guess we'll have to wait until we're far ahead!"

A family of three were chatting at the dinner table.

The next day, Wu Jianping came to the office humming a little tune. He had just made himself a pot of tea. After sitting down, he opened today's newspaper and saw a big headline on the front page:

"Ignorant of repentance! Neon No. 1 Ryutaro kneels down in the **** toilet!"

Among them, the font of "Unrepentant!" is specially made larger and bolder, which is very eye-catching.

Wu Jianping couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw this title, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. Of course he knew what kind of place this sacred toilet was. It was dedicated to a group of extremely evil people. It was simply a place of all evil!

Before he could finish reading, he heard a loud "pop" in the office. Wu Jianping turned around and saw that it was Xiao Li, a colleague who had only been with the company for a few years. He slapped the table and said indignantly:

"What are you trying to do in this silly little day! How shameless!"

At this moment, Xiao Li was obviously furious, and started swearing in the office.

But everyone in the office didn't care and all said:

"Inhumane, shameless, and immoral! Dressed like a beast!"

"The little days are trying to make a comeback! We must attack them!"

At this time, a colleague said to Wu Jianping: "Old Wu, I thought the Li Yunlong you wrote was too rude before, but now that I think about it, I should do it like this. I will die in my childhood!"

"Yes, I thought Angkor was well written before! I should be like Li Yunlong and kill all these beasts!"

At the same time, not only Wu Jianping and his office, but also the whole of China, and even the entire Asia-Pacific region, aroused violent reactions because of this incident.

Because even if Neon had kneeled in the past, it was always in a private capacity. In the 1980s, a cabinet member kneeling in an official capacity once appeared, which caused strong protests. After that, it never happened again in more than ten years.

And this time, not only did he kneel as a public official, but Number 1, who represented Neon, personally knelt in public!

The repercussions were huge. The entire Asia-Pacific region denounced the incident. Naturally, there was also verbal and written criticism on the Chinese side. All major newspapers were involved at once.

While the higher-ups raised strong protests, they also internally tried to reassure the public that excessive behavior and phenomena should not occur. Many schools were thankful that it was during the summer vacation. Otherwise, if a group of passionate students gathered together, who knows what trouble would have occurred.

No, a few middle school boys who got together during the holidays met and cursed at Xiaoli:

"Fuck your little life, you are so stubborn!"

"If I had atomic bombs, I would throw two more over and see if they still bow to me!"

"That's it, blow that divine toilet to pieces!"

At this time, after a boy finished scolding, he smiled and said: "Look at this!"

Several boys gathered around to take a look, and when they saw him taking out a book called "Bright Sword", they couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

The boy said proudly: "I stole this book from my dad. While he was reading it, he scolded Xiaoli, saying that if he read this book to relieve his anger, he would kill them!"

"real or fake?"

"Then put it in the middle and look at it together."

Three or four boys gathered together, opened the book and started reading.

"Don't turn the page yet, I haven't finished reading yet..."

At dusk, when a boy came home for dinner, he said to his father:

"Dad, buy me a book!"

His father frowned when he heard this:

"Buying a book? A novel about a villain again? If you are interested in reading more classics, you are already in middle school, why are you reading a novel about a villain!"

"No, this time it's a book about my childhood!" The boy immediately raised his voice and spoke confidently.

This made his father's expression soften: "What's it called? I'll go to the bookstore to show it to you tomorrow."

""Bright Sword" is so well written! That Li Yunlong..." The boy started talking non-stop.

His father also showed interest when he heard this.

The next day, the middle-aged man took advantage of his lunch break to go to a nearby Xinhua Bookstore. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw several posters with slogans posted on display boards:

"Bright Sword", "What the sword points at is invincible!"

"What about Bushido? What I fight is Bushido!"

"Watch "Bright Sword", learn from Li Yunlong, and beat up the little devil!"

The middle-aged man felt that these words were very satisfying, and they were just right for him!

At the same time, he thought to himself that "Bright Sword" should be quite good, and he could even let Xinhua Bookstore hang it on the door to promote it.

He walked directly to the front desk: "Hello comrade, do you have "Bright Sword"?"

The cashier at the front desk pointed to the side: "Well, you're lucky, there are only a dozen copies left."

The man walked over and saw a book with a red cover. The word "bright sword" in the title of the book was written very powerfully, especially the vertical line on the far right of the word "sword", which looked like a sharp sword.

He heard what his son said yesterday and was a little curious, so he couldn't help but stand and read through it. He was fascinated by this sight, and he didn't know how much time had passed until someone beside him patted him gently:

"Hey, brother, do you want to buy this book?"

The middle-aged man looked up and saw a young man in his twenties, and then said:

"Oh, I'll buy it, I'll buy it. I was fascinated by it just now."

"Brother, how is this book? My friend told me that beating little devils is always fun. Is that true?"

The middle-aged man pointed at the book and laughed: "It's so well written! Look at what it says: 'We are the ancestors of the little devils. Now it's okay for the little devils to disrespect their ancestors?!'"

"Well said! Just because of this sentence, I also bought it! It's a pity that this bookstore is out of stock, hey!"

Only then did the middle-aged man realize that the dozen or so books he had just had been sold out, and this was the last one in his hand. He quickly took the book to the front desk to pay the bill, and went back happily.

At the same time, Wu Jianping was sitting in the office of the editor-in-chief of their publishing house.

The editor-in-chief smiled so hard that his face was full of wrinkles:

"Old Wu, your copy of "Bright Sword" is really popular! Less than a month after the 300,000 additional copies were sent out, they are already almost sold out. Now bookstores everywhere are rushing to get more copies. !”

Wu Jianping first corrected him: "Leader, I wrote this together with my son."

The editor-in-chief smiled and nodded at him: "You, father and son go into battle, I understand!"

What the editor-in-chief was actually thinking was that Old Wu was really kind to his son, and he was using this to pave the way for his own son. In his opinion, this must have been created by Wu Jianping. After all, he came from the battlefield before. How could his son make this up?

Then Wu Jianping said humbly: "Leader, I am just in time. Who would have thought that this little day would be so rampant and rebellious!"

The editor-in-chief nodded: "These little days are abominable and have caused great dissatisfaction among our people. But it is also your book "Bright Sword" that is well written and makes people feel relieved and enjoyable after reading it! Otherwise, why don't they buy it? Other people’s books?”

Then the editor-in-chief smiled and said: "Old Wu, you are also an old man in our unit, and I won't play tricks with you. We plan to print another 600,000 copies this time and give you 12% of the royalties. If you still pay next time, If you need more printing, I will settle it for you at 15% in the future!"

Last year, Wu Jianping proposed tiered royalties to his work unit, but the work units were generally not very enthusiastic about this new reform measure, so they put it on hold.

This time the editor-in-chief used the old method for him, charging him a royalty for each printing. The first 100,000 copies of Liangjian were 8%, the second time was 10% for 300,000 copies, and this time it was 12% for 600,000 copies.

Wu Jianping naturally nodded in agreement. He was already taking good care of him by increasing his royalties so quickly. As for the 15% royalty, you have to wait. Lao Wu knew in his heart that the 300,000 copies sold so quickly this time because of the east wind. When the public's mood subsided, the sales speed would definitely slow down. This time, the 600,000 copies were expected to be sold for a while.

However, the development of things greatly exceeded Wu Jianping's expectations, and it should be said that it exceeded the expectations of all people in the Asia-Pacific region.

Time entered August, and despite being verbally criticized by various regions, Xiaori did not apologize and admit his mistakes, but instead made more radical moves. A group of neon rightists drove a boat to Gouyu Island!

This team not only landed on the island, they landed on the island four times in a row, built a neon lighthouse on it, hung a red sun flag, and erected a monument, shouting to the world in this way!

As soon as the news spread back to China, the whole country was outraged!

Now, even the people who had kept a calm attitude towards the God's Toilets could no longer sit still and were all furious!

Gouyu Island has been our Chinese territory since ancient times. How could we let Xiaozhi get involved like this? !

What is August? It's the day when Neon loses the battle. They are doing this to prove what everyone knows!

This little day is so crazy! The ambition of a wolf is obvious!

The young people were immediately angry. Many people took to the streets to protest. Many people ran to the Heroes Monument and shouted, "Down with the little life!"

Suddenly, because of this series of incidents, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the entire Chinese people rose, and slogans to boycott Japanese goods were shouted everywhere.

Officials can only negotiate externally while strengthening guidance internally to avoid large-scale vandalism incidents. For example, large-scale gatherings of people must be discouraged from going back. When there are too many people, it is easy to get into trouble.

And under such circumstances, a novel began to spread wildly, which was "Bright Sword"!

The protagonists in previous novels were too pretentious, and even when they scolded Xiaoli, they were all written in a literate manner, which was really unsatisfactory.

But "Bright Sword" is different. Li Yunlong, the gangster-like protagonist, often curses, but he does it so well!

Moreover, the plot of the war he fought against Xiaoli was also very wonderfully depicted, truly creating a powerful neon army. In this case, Li Yunlong could still lead his independent regiment to fight Xiaoli back and forth, and The victory in the final battle makes it even more exciting, enjoyable and relieving to watch, and you just can’t stop watching it!

Even some official organizations have noticed "Bright Sword" and become interested in it. After all, if you can guide people's emotions through entertainment works, that is the best outlet.

Soon several large newspapers mentioned "Bright Sword" and Li Yunlong's bright sword spirit.

"...

A recent novel called "Bright Sword" is extremely popular. The protagonist Li Yunlong comes from a rough background and has various shortcomings such as rudeness, impulsiveness, and lack of culture. However, in the eyes of the public, he is very cute because he always has the spirit of "Bright Sword":

Facing a powerful opponent, you must draw your sword resolutely even though you know you are outmatched. Even if it falls, it will become a mountain and a ridge!

How awe-inspiring, what determination, what joy, what courage!

In times of peace, we must remember history and sound the alarm..."

Newspapers in 1996 are still the uncrowned kings. Once newspapers start to actively promote your works, especially large newspapers, it proves that you are really popular!

There is no doubt that "Bright Sword" exploded under this background. The 600,000 copies that had just been printed were about to bottom out soon.

Office of the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

"Old Wu! You, no, you are going into battle as father and son, and you are really going to be popular this time! Your "Bright Sword" has now been praised by the higher-ups, congratulations!"

"Leadership, we cannot do without the support and help of our publishing house!" Wu Jianping has been in the company for so long, and he is not a fool.

The editor-in-chief laughed:

"Hahaha! Don't say anything this time, just print 1 million more copies and get 15% of the royalties!

Also, we have received inquiries from publishing houses in Bay and Hong Kong Island. We want to discuss the copyright of the traditional Chinese version of "Bright Sword" with you. You are going to be famous overseas this time! "

Wu Jianping himself felt that this experience was truly dreamlike. When he first wrote "Bright Sword", he thought it was just good. He felt that it could sell two to three hundred thousand copies. Who would have thought that it would be printed to 200 copies now? There are 10,000 copies, and overseas publishers have contacted me!

Does he want to thank Xiaori for the assist?

As soon as this idea came into his mind, Wu Jianping denied it. In such a stupid little life, if you invade our Chinese territory, you will die badly!

Everyone is scolding, and life and work have to continue during this period. Wu Yuchen, for example, has been busy with business.

After all the post-production on "Two of Us" was completed and the master tape came out, Wu Yuchen immediately contacted Director Gu of the movie channel to make a report.

Two days later, in the screening room of Beijing Film Studio.

"Hey, Lao He, you're here too."

"Of course, I said at the beginning that I had to come to support Xiao Wu's first feature film!"

Not only Director Gu came, but also the home theater teachers Hou Keming, Xie Xiaojing and other Jingying teachers, as well as Mrs. Ruan and several old comrades who had made the "Dance of Martial Arts" documentary together.

The circle is really not big. To be honest, everyone present basically knows each other. Even those who are not familiar with each other have met in person.

"Xiaogu, how about the other two dramas that your movie channel has submitted?"

Director Gu smiled bitterly: "The Beijing Film Studio just started filming in the summer, and the Bayi Film Studio ran out of money after half the filming. Now they are looking for us for additional investment, alas!"

"The Bayi Factory is probably adding war scenes again. All the money was spent on filming, so how can we stop it with 700,000 yuan? I can't tell whether the movie will be finished or not.

Han Sanping of Beijing Film Studio is good at attracting investment. There should be no problem after the filming is completed, but I am worried that something will go wrong in the middle. "

Director Gu also shook his head when he heard this. Now it seems that this homemade movie is really not that easy to make, but fortunately Wu Yuchen only spent 300,000 to shoot the movie, which can be regarded as a slap in the face for him. A cardiotonic drug.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these troublesome things about Xiaogu. Isn't there a movie coming out? Let's see how Xiao Wu's movie goes."

Soon, the lights in the hall went out and the screen came on.

A poor student studying in the capital, and a lonely old man living in a courtyard. One is young, strong, lively, and loves teasing; the other is old, lonely, weird, and hypocritically smart. When two people with both edges and corners collide, modern culture and traditional culture begin to coexist and conflict with each other in the courtyard.

There is no big love and death, it is just daily trivial matters from beginning to end, but ordinary little things like making phone calls and using electrical appliances, under Wu Yuchen's careful arrangement and design, make everyone present feel happy. People can follow the development of the story step by step. In the changing seasons of winter, spring, summer and autumn, they can gradually experience the process between the two people from conflicts to mutual support. The true story can be seen in the simplicity and simplicity!

The people watching the movie can be considered old people who have been immersed in the industry. Even those who can’t shoot can still appreciate it. Several people expressed emotion at the same time that with such a simple scene, a story with twists and turns can be captured, and the key point can also be conveyed. The purest and simplest emotions are not simple!

At the end of the movie, when the old lady and Zhou Xun were silently crying at each other, the old lady Ruan who was watching could not help but take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. As a 70-year-old man, she has a deep understanding of this experience.

When the movie ended and the lights came on, several people noticed something strange about Mrs. Ruan, and the people nearby wanted to comfort her. Mrs. Ruan shook her head and just said a few words: "That's great, that's great!"

"I didn't expect that Xiao Wu could actually produce such a delicate film!"

"Yeah, I watched his "Che 44", and my impression of him was still that of a young director with a sharp and sharp style. I didn't expect that he was also good at playing with warmth."

After hearing this, Hou Keming also said with emotion: "After I first read his script, I was very curious about what effect he could produce, but I didn't expect it to be done so well! From the actors to the performances to the camera and the style of the entire film, They are all excellent and coordinated, and you really don’t look like a novice at all.”

Before Wu Yuchen came over, several people started discussing with each other.

He's been imprisoned. Wait for rescue.
