016 "Rice Fragrance"(1/2)
As the days passed little by little, Ye Fan was also carrying out his plan in an orderly manner.
During the days when Zhang Xing was looking for a suitable recording studio, except for a birthday party for Zeng Li, Ye Fan was looking for a suitable musical instrument class.
At first he couldn't find anything suitable, so the teacher advised him to specialize in one thing first, and he couldn't have fingernails when learning piano, but it's best to have fingernails when playing guitar. Otherwise, without nails, the dynamics that can be expressed in strumming will be reduced.
But Ye Fan is so confident: only children make choices, he wants them all.
For nearly a month, Ye Fan spent time after school and on weekends looking for art classes and trying out recording studios. Finally, with the help of Zhang Xing, he selected a medium-priced recording studio with good value for money and no arrangement required.
If you want to record a song, it will cost about 1,500-2,000 yuan. It mainly depends on Ye Fan's recording status. After all, Ye Fan is not at the level to record a song in one go.
I finally found an art class in Zhongxi Hutong, which covers vocal, piano, and guitar. You can sign up together to make it easier to learn together. However, it takes a lot of time on weekdays and you have to come to class on weekends. After all, I didn’t buy a piano or guitar.
Musical instruments require more use and practice.
It's not that Ye Fan doesn't want to buy it, it's mainly because the space in the courtyard is limited after all, and there are many neighbors living nearby. It's easy to disturb others when practicing musical instruments at home. For various reasons, Ye Fan is waiting to move to the house Zhang Yue bought next year.
Go buy it.
In the days that followed, Ye Fan went to class as usual, maintained his grades in cultural classes, and went to art classes. He also tried his best to update 10,000 words of "Kunlun" every day. Fortunately, he only had time to record songs for a month.
It's done.
Despite this, the time spent with Cao Xin and Zeng Li is inevitably reduced. In addition, Zeng Li is in his last semester and has to prepare for the graduation exam. Seeing that Ye Fan usually has little time, the number of visits has gradually decreased, even if every
The first time I saw him, the smile on his face was visibly reduced.
Although Ye Fan felt distressed, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he knew that this was only temporary, and because he knew that Zeng Li would come back later, he had no choice but to spend more time with her in the limited time.
More than three months passed like this, and on January 1, 1995, the WTO was established.
But this has nothing to do with Ye Fan, because "Kunlun" was finally finished on this day.
Ye Fan watched the printer print out the ending of "Kunlun", and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I've finally finished writing it. I took a photo of the cover of the last volume, and then spend more time with Sister Li. I'll think of other ways to write the next part of "Canghai".
Bar."
After speaking, Ye Fan packed up the manuscripts of "Kunlun" and prepared to take them to Huayi Publishing House the next day.
With the serialization of "Kunlun", the novel became more and more popular. However, the serialization stopped halfway and began to be published as a physical book. Although Ye Fan corrected some of the shortcomings of "Kunlun" through his own understanding, there are many
Newspapers and book reviewers still criticized this novel. For example, the most common ones are:
'Kunlun', as a story about the Yuan's conquest of the Song Dynasty, has become the biggest controversial point of the book and the most criticized point. The protagonist himself has Mongolian and Song ancestry, and the protagonist is like "Xiao Feng", and eventually became
A person who had no place to stand in either Mongolia or Song Dynasty.'
'Part of the setting and plot copied Jin Yong. At the turn of the Yuan and Song Dynasties, they imitated the gods. Liang Xiao was from the Song Dynasty, but he helped the Mongols attack the Song Dynasty. Later, he changed his position and helped the survivors of the Song Dynasty and opposed the Mongols. He was obviously imitating Guo Jing, which led to
The main character is unlikable.'
'The character's level is too high and he can't stand it. Then the character in the book loves to show off, which affects the senses. In the later period, the martial arts tended to be fantasy.'
But overall, the shortcomings are not outweighed. More people recognize this novel, but Ye Fan doesn't care. Such controversy has also boosted the sales of the first few volumes, but the one with the greatest impact is the previous "Xiu Chun Knife"
Interesting stories about selling books in Hong Kong.
Because the sales of "Xiu Chun Knife" in Hong Kong Island have gradually increased and its reputation has spread, many directors have approached Huayi and wanted to contact the author to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this novel, but they were all rejected by Ye Fan
Already.
It was not until later that the famous director Wu Yusen publicly praised "Xiu Chun Dao" and expressed that he wanted to obtain the film and television adaptation rights to make a series of movies, so he also contacted Huayi.
Ye Fan still hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about his future projects such as "Red Cliff" and "Taipinglun", as well as some things about coming to the mainland to make money, Ye Fan thought about it and decided not to increase his fame.
Moreover, now that it was filmed by John Woo, Ye Fan would not be able to act by himself in the future, so he finally refused. Hua Yi and his family did not understand it, but Ye Fan did not intend to explain more.
However, after Ye Fan refused, it was the famous director Wu Yusen who refused. This made the reputation of Northern Pai Ba Shang become famous, and also caused a rebound in the sales of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series of novels, and together with "
The sales of "Kunlun" have also increased, but the pirates are even happier.
Because the publishing contract between "Kunlun" and Huayi Publishing House is based on the current highest royalty standard of 10%, relying on the continuous sales of the two novels, Ye Fan's personal savings have exceeded the 500,000 mark, heading towards the 100-year mark.
Wan Wan's goal is moving forward, so Ye Fan's quadrangle plan is about to start. After all, he can't remember the history of the 1994 World Cup. Although he didn't watch much football in his previous life, why don't he still read novels? The team that won the World Cup after 1998 at least
I still know that when the time comes, I can look for opportunities to buy some lottery tickets or go abroad to buy spinach, but now there is no chance.
With the publication of the finale of "Kunlun", many newspapers and book friends have spoken highly of this novel.
For example, "Yanjing Daily" commented: "If there are people, there will be rivers and lakes! "Kunlun" truly writes this truth. This is a very real martial arts novel. There is no false love in "Kunlun"
, the protagonist used his life to write a kind of reality, which does not require false pretense or illusory ideals, only reality."
"Ming Pao": Judging from the quality of the work itself, it is no less than Jin Yong and Gu Long. The protagonist is just a person who lost the protection of his family in troubled times. He has not understood the feelings of family and country since he was a child and has no understanding of this aspect. Such a protagonist
, what should you do when facing an enemy who slaughters your own relatives? He went to the battlefield in troubled times, but he was also a person with clear love and hatred. In the end, he was invincible but was disheartened. In short, this "Kunlun" is magnificent and has many
Everything makes people think deeply. In the era when Jin Yong was not around, the glory of martial arts blossomed.
Other newspapers also received many positive reviews, which also brought the sales of "Kunlun" to a peak, and the reputation of the Northern Pai Ba singing became even greater.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, ignored the disturbances from the outside world. After all, as a person with a mental age of almost 50, he still chose to live a low-key life and spend more time with his family and 'friends'?
After all, Ye Fan's grandparents and grandparents are getting older. Ye Chu will take the college entrance examination this year, Cao Xin will also start to choose a school to study abroad and start taking the exam next year, not to mention Zeng Li.
Perhaps he also knew that Zeng Li's days in Yanjing were getting shorter and shorter. After Ye Fan had time, Cao Xin also used the excuse to make an appointment with Zeng Li, and then found an opportunity to give the two of them more time alone, and Ye Fan and
Zeng Li and Zeng Li also enjoy this kind of life in tacit understanding.
As Ye Fan's musical instrument level improved to a certain extent, the closer to the graduation month, Ye Fan tried his best to avoid weekend art classes, stopped many plans, and freed up time on weekends to help Zeng Li prepare for the graduation exam.
.
After all, Ye Fan has opera skills, so what's wrong with helping with sparring? Of course, as for the rest of the time after sparring, you are not allowed to relax after preparing for the exam? Go shopping, have a meal, watch a movie, this is very difficult
It's reasonable.
But the happy days eventually came to an end. On a weekend afternoon in June, Ye Fan went to Zeng Li's school as usual and continued to accompany her to prepare for the exam.
But when Ye Fan saw Zeng Li, he saw a complicated expression on Zeng Li's face, so he asked curiously: "Sister Li, what's wrong today? You look happy sometimes and sad sometimes.
"
Zeng Li sighed and said melancholy: "The head teacher talked to me yesterday and said that I will most likely be assigned to the Hubei Province Peking Opera Troupe. I can go back after taking the exam next month and getting my diploma. No later than the end of next month.
It’s time to go back and report.”
After hearing this, Ye Fan also understood why Zeng Li showed such an expression. This was also the reason why he never broke the window paper between the two of them.
Ye Fan forced a smile and said, "Shouldn't you be happy? The Hubei Province Peking Opera Troupe is a state-owned enterprise at the provincial level. Such a good unit is an iron rice bowl, and it is also close to your home."
Zeng Li felt both happy and sad when he heard this. He looked at Ye Fan with melancholy eyes and smiled reluctantly: "Is that all you want to say to me? Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard Zeng Li's words. He looked hesitantly at Zeng Li, who looked hopeful, and moved his lips but said nothing.
After Zeng Li saw it, she was disappointed. She stood there sadly and her eyes gradually turned red.
Ye Fan was heartbroken when he saw Zeng Li like this. Although Ye Fan knew that Zeng Li would come back later and their separation would be short-lived, he knew better that Zeng Li missed home, her parents and her sister.
Ye Fan was prepared in his heart, but Zeng Li didn't know!
At this moment, Ye Fan heard the sound of someone playing guitar in the school, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took Zeng Li's hand and ran out of the school gate.
Zeng Li was still sad and wanted to struggle to free her hand, but she heard Ye Fan look back at her and say: "Sister Li, you go shopping with me now, and then I will take you to a place, and I will
Everything has been said." After Zeng Li heard this, he remained silent but stopped struggling and followed Ye Fan away.
When Zeng Li saw Ye Fan taking her to a musical instrument store to buy a guitar, her mood recovered a little, and she finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Fan, what you want to buy is a guitar?"
Ye Fan kept trying the guitar handed over by the boss. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "Yes, I need a guitar next time."
After trying some, Ye Fan chose a guitar that he could play easily and had a good sound. He also ordered some picks, which cost him more than a thousand.
After paying the money, Ye Fan took Zeng Li into a taxi and said to the driver: "Master, go to Yuquan Mountain!"
Zeng Li couldn't help but ask, "Why are you going to Yuquan Mountain?" Ye Fan held her hand and said with a smile, "I'll take you to relax, and there are other things you will know when you get there."
When the taxi arrived at Yuquan Mountain, the sun was just right and the breeze was blowing. Ye Fan held Zeng Li's hand and walked silently, admiring the beautiful scenery of Yuquan Mountain.
When walking to Yudong Park, Zeng Li looked at the crisscrossed fields and beautiful natural scenery in front of him, and his mood couldn't help but feel much better. Then he broke the silence and asked Ye Fan: "Xiao Fan, thank you.
Take me here to relax, I feel much better."
Ye Fan looked at the rice fields in front of him and couldn't help but think: 'At this time, there are still more than 100,000 acres of rice fields in western Beijing under Yuquan Mountain. After 2010, there will only be about 2,000 acres left. What a pity for such a beautiful scenery.
.'
After hearing Zeng Li's words, he said to her regretfully: "Sister Li, it would be nice if you were in a better mood. It's a pity that you are here at this time. The rice fields have just been planted not long ago, and the rice has not grown yet. Otherwise, you will see the rice fields in autumn."
, with those golden waves of wheat, the scenery here must be even more beautiful.”
Zeng Li was also yearning for it when he heard this, but after seeing the guitar on Ye Fan's back, he smiled and said slyly: "Then what you said has nothing to do with you buying a guitar? Don't you still have something to say?
There's no one here, so you can go ahead and say it."
Ye Fan heard Zeng Li's words, looked at the scenery in front of him and said with a smile: "I didn't see the rice fields in full bloom this time, so let's just be sorry." After saying that, he turned to Zeng Li and said: "It's not a bad thing to have shortcomings.
Looking forward to bringing you here next time, I hope I can make up for this expectation."
Zeng Li was puzzled by Ye Fan's meaningless words, and saw Ye Fan put down the box, took out the guitar, and walked towards the edge of the field.
Zeng Li's eyes followed Ye Fan's back, and then he gradually realized something, and his eyes became expectant.
Ye Fan walked to the right place, turned around, and said to Zeng Li: "I think singing can express people's feelings better than talking. Everything I want to say is in the song."
