381 [The First Pot of Gold]
While Xiang Nan was eating, he was thinking about how to make his first pot of gold.
People were coming and going in the cafeteria, and many girls couldn't help but peek at him as they passed by.
According to the setting in the play, Chen Xiaozheng is the number one handsome guy in the school and is quite popular among girls.
It's a pity that he only looks like a prince, but his life experience is very poor.
After careful consideration, Xiang Nan decided to start by writing a novel.
For a poor student like him, writing is basically the lowest-cost and highest-return way to make money.
However, Chen Xiaozheng's starting conditions are not even as good as Xie Yongqiang's.
After all, Xie Yongqiang still has a computer, and he can directly write online novels to make money. Chen Xiaozheng does not even have a computer, and his living expenses are pitifully low, not even enough to pay for Internet cafes.
So if he wanted to write, he could only write manuscripts by hand and submit them to some magazines.
Fortunately, he checked some articles before coming here.
Because the movie version of "To Our Mortal Youth" took place in the 1990s. At that time, the Internet was not prosperous at all, so the only way to create was to submit articles.
…
After Xiang Nan made up his mind, he finished his meal and went directly to the library.
Today is the first day of school for freshmen, so there are no classes all day long. Of course, not many people are studying in class. Most people are either sleeping in the dormitory or running to the school gate to see beautiful women.
As the saying goes, freshman girls are freshly put on the shelves, sophomore girls are on sale, junior girls buy one get one free, and senior girls give it away for free.
Nowadays, the freshman girls have just arrived here, looking confused and innocent, which is a good opportunity for the seniors to take action. Last night, some animals in the dormitory were talking about how they were going to pick up the girls today and hook up with them.
several.
So the library is really empty, and there are still very few people who are motivated.
Xiang Nan first went to the computer room of the library, surfed the Internet for half an hour, and checked some information he needed, and then returned to the reading room.
After sitting down, he first took out a copy of "Introduction to Architecture" and pretended to study seriously. Then he took out a paper and pen and wrote "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" in eight large characters.
"Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" is a suspenseful action movie launched by Hong Kong director Tsui Hark in 1999. The story is suspenseful and has constant climaxes, especially the settings of "Ghost City", "Tongtian Pagoda", "Red Flame Golden Turtle", etc.
It's really outstanding and impressive.
Therefore, after its release, this movie earned a box office of 300 million, ranking sixth in the annual box office list, and has since kicked off the "Detective Dee" series. It can be said to be a very successful work.
Xiang Nan plans to submit a manuscript to "Legends of Modern Times: Martial Arts Edition", so he plans to use the novel adapted from this movie as a stepping stone.
…
Xiang Nan immediately started writing.
"I knew you would be here." Just as he was writing furiously, he heard a female voice laughing.
Xiang Nan looked up and saw a gentle, lovely, slim, and quiet beauty standing in front of him.
"Zeng Yu, why are you here?" Xiang Nan smiled and stood up to greet him, while turning the paper over quietly.
Zeng Yu is the daughter of Vice Dean Zeng of the Department of Architecture, and the daughter of Yu Jing, the chairman of Dongfang Xingchen. It can be said that she comes from a famous family and has a prominent status.
Moreover, she was also an admirer of Chen Xiaozheng and was deeply devoted to him. Unfortunately, Chen Xiaozheng only regarded her as a friend.
"I came here to borrow some books to read." Zeng Yu said with a smile, "Azheng, you really work hard. They all go to the school gate to look at the beauties, but you are the only one who is still studying in the library."
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Beautiful girls are nothing to look at. Studying makes me happy."
"Yes." Zeng Yu smiled and nodded, "Heroes share the same vision, so I'll stay with you."
Xiang Nan didn't want her to stay, as it would affect his writing. But he couldn't drive her away, so he had no choice but to nod and read with Zeng Yu.
…
Xiang Nan was originally relatively unfamiliar with architectural design, but now that he flipped through the book, he began to feel that it was actually quite interesting.
Architectural design is a discipline that spans engineering technology and humanities and arts, and because it involves a lot of cultivation and edification of aesthetics, it can be called an architectural art.
It requires learning subjects such as sketching, color, plane composition, three-dimensional composition, architectural composition, architectural mechanics, interior design, urban planning, etc.
To learn this major well requires both a smart and rational mind and the talent of an artist. It can be said that it is not simple at all.
Xiang Nan studied seriously. He found that Raj's IQ could also help him very well when studying these courses.
At least after reading these books, he can remember the general contents. This will be very helpful for his final exam.
But while he was reading seriously, Zeng Yu, who was opposite him, raised his head from time to time and looked at the handsome and hard-working man opposite him, with deep love in his eyes.
"Azheng, it's noon, let's go have dinner." Just as Xiang Nan was fascinated, Zeng Yu suddenly said with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, put away the book and manuscript paper, and then accompanied Zeng Yu to the restaurant.
After preparing the meal, we sat down to eat together.
Their combination of handsome guy and beautiful girl really attracted a lot of attention.
The men and women coming and going in the cafeteria, even the calmest people, would take a furtive glance or two.
However, Xiang Nan and Zeng Yu are already used to it.
They finished their meal calmly.
"Azheng, let's go back to the library." Zeng Yu invited again.
"Oh, I have something else to do in the afternoon." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "In this case, you can go alone first, and I will find you after I finish my work."
"Okay, then it's settled, you must come." Zeng Yu said with a smile, and then left first.
After she left, Xiang Nan quickly went to the study room and took the time to write "Di Renjie".
In the morning, because Zeng Yu was in the way, he wrote less than 6,000 words, but the progress was far behind.
…
Xiang Nan wrote in the study room until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then went to the library to find Zeng Yu as agreed.
After reading with her for a while, he had dinner together, and then found an excuse to leave after the meal. By the end of the evening self-study, he finally wrote 20,000 words, and his wrists were so tired that he was sore.
However, less than half of the story has been written. It is estimated that if it is completely written, it will be at least about 50,000 words. Based on the current manuscript fee, it can be sold for about three to four thousand yuan. Although it is not too much, it is enough to support a semester.
The meal is spent.
Xiang Nan then returned to the dormitory and saw his roommates Zhang Zhang, Gong Cheng, Xu Kaiyang, Chen She, Hu Jin and others in the next dormitory having a fight.
Chapter completed!
