Yu Dong was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing.
He rolled over in bed and sat up in a daze. It was already bright outside. He raised his watch and looked at it. It was already eleven o'clock.
Seeing the watch that was still on, he remembered that he had fallen asleep without taking a shower last night.
After the crow, Yu Dong heard the hen clucking again. The sound was not far away, and it sounded like it was in the vegetable garden outside. He stood up and pushed the door open, and saw Feng Ming who was busy in the vegetable garden.
Feng Ming got a nylon net from somewhere, enclosed a piece of land in the vegetable garden, and placed a few chickens sent from his hometown inside. There was also a chicken food bowl inside, and it seemed that he was going to keep them here.
.
Yu Dong scratched his messy hair, smiled and said, "Old Feng, aren't you afraid that the chickens raised here will be eaten by me?"
Feng Ming raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, "You have been sleeping until now. You drank a lot last night. You didn't hold back when you came back... You can eat this chicken if you want. Are you a good chicken?"
"If you can't kill it well, you can always eat well. As long as there are chickens, why don't you worry that no one will help kill them? Yu Hua knows how to kill chickens. Although he is a dentist, he has also touched a scalpel, let alone killing chickens..."
"Can he still kill people?"
"I don't know about murder, but I guess he can cut the appendix of a chicken."
"Chickens still have an appendix? Don't bully me because I'm a physical education teacher who doesn't understand biology." Feng Ming sneered, grabbed a handful of rice husks and threw them into the chicken coop, "Looking at you, you didn't take a shower last night. It's such a hot day.
Yes, sloppy.”
Yu Dong smiled and said, "I suspect that the wine you gave me to drink last night was fake wine, and I fainted when I came back."
Feng Ming smiled disdainfully, "You usually only weigh two or three taels. You weighed half a kilo last night and you can still walk. I'm drunk?"
"Isn't that right? I can't drink two or three ounces of other people's wine, but I can drink half a catty of your wine. Do you think your wine is fake?"
"Yeah, I can't beat you." Feng Ming put the basin down and clapped his hands, "I'll put some chicken food next to it. You can help feed it if you have nothing to do."
Before Dong could reply, Feng Ming walked away.
Yu Dong looked at the chickens that were pecking, stretched his arms and returned to the room. It was really hard to bear not taking a shower in this weather. He planned to take a shower first and then go to the canteen to eat.
But as soon as I returned home, I saw a few pieces of paper scattered on the table, with dense writing on them.
He frowned, what is this? He touched his forehead and thought for a long time before finally remembering that he seemed to have written something when he came back after drinking last night, but he couldn't remember exactly what he wrote.
I picked up one and looked at it. I couldn't quite understand it. The writing was rather sloppy, and the layout was completely out of order. It was written horizontally, vertically, and even diagonally.
Some words overlap with other words and look like a mess.
Not only that, even if they can be barely recognized, many of them are not sentences.
Nonsense words like "Have you eaten?" and "Have you not eaten" often appear, which seem to be meaningless. Moreover, there are a lot of Shanghai dialects and some other words in it.
The other pieces of paper were similar and looked like they were just drunken ramblings.
The main reason is that he doesn't have time to study in detail now, bathing and eating are more important. Fortunately, the hot weather is also good, just get some cold water and wash it off.
After taking a shower, I went to the cafeteria feeling refreshed and happened to meet Hu Changqing, whose face was glowing red.
"Secretary Hu, what happy event did you encounter that made you so happy?"
Hu Changqing was making rice and had just ordered a piece of braised pork. When he saw Yu Dong, he said to the cook, "Xiao Zhao, give Mr. Yu a piece of braised pork too. One piece costs two yuan, and one piece costs three yuan."
Yes, just right."
He handed over two meal tickets and exchanged a large spoonful of braised pork for Yu Dong's lunch box.
Braised pork is the signature dish of the canteen. It costs five yuan a portion, which is considered a luxury. However, because the supply is not large, although it is not cheap, you may not be able to eat it if you come late.
"Hey, this happy event is not ordinary."
"Hey, let's sit down and talk."
The two walked side by side to an empty table and sat down. Hu Changqing said with a smile, "I made a small fortune today, so I can reward myself."
"No wonder, it turned out that I got rich. I was lucky, and I even got a piece of braised pork."
Yu Dongdao didn't ask Hu Changqing what kind of wealth he had made, but Hu Changqing took the initiative and said, "Jimmy made some kind of drama with "Alien Monkey" and gave him a licensing fee of 100,000 yuan. After excluding the miscellaneous money, there are still 65,000 yuan."
The piece is finally in my hands today."
"The copyright fee is 100,000 yuan, and there is still 65,000 yuan left. Why do you need so much money for miscellaneous things?" Yu Dong said in surprise.
"Before, I borrowed a lot of things from the company on credit, including computers, phones, etc., but I never paid them back. This time I paid them back all at once. Moreover, my annual income now exceeds 50,000 yuan. I want to start
My agent took the cut." Hu Changqing explained with a smile.
When it came to getting rid of the pain, Hu Changqing not only did not feel distressed, but also showed a sense of pride.
But think about it, it's true. According to the contract Jimmy signed with them, they started collecting money, which proved that they made money, and it was not a small amount, at least 50,000.
Hu Changqing just said that he made a small fortune. In fact, more than 60,000 yuan can no longer be considered a small fortune. Although the economy has developed rapidly in the past two years and a lot of money has been released, the money is not as valuable as before, but for a university teacher, more than 60,000 yuan is not a small fortune.
It's definitely not a small amount, after all, you can renovate a house for just 20,000 yuan.
But Hu Changqing doesn't have to worry about housing. Although he usually lives in the single dormitory, the school allocated him a house, but he never moved in. In addition, he also has an old house in the local area.
"I will also have to buy a mobile phone later. The price seems to have dropped now. There is also a laptop. Desktop computers are too clumsy and there is no way to bring them with me..."
Yu Dong watched Hu Changqing excitedly planning what he wanted to buy, and couldn't help but sigh. This old Hu still has a young mentality and follows the latest trends. Others as old as him probably only want to save money when they make money.
Even if I have to spend money, I probably won’t think about electronic products.
Lao Hu has a fascination with electronic products. If you ask him to spend a few dollars to eat braised pork, he may feel distressed, but if you spend 10,000 to 20,000 dollars to buy a computer, he won't care too much.
Yu Dong thinks it's pretty good. Lao Hu doesn't have to worry about food, clothing or housing, he has both children, and he basically has to hand it over. His salary is not low now, and it will get higher and higher in the future, even if there is no royalties.
With extra income and no pressure in life, it is completely understandable to spend some money on your own hobbies.
As for what drama he was talking about, Yu Dong knew it. Jimmy had told him before that he wanted to create a science fiction series. The script had been written at that time, and filming has probably started now.
The reason why I chose novels such as "Alien Monkey" to adapt is because the plot is simple, dramatic, and funny, and the market prospects should be very good if it is filmed.
After dinner, Yu Dong went back to the dormitory first, while Hu Changqing went to the office.
After returning to the dormitory, Yu Dong poured himself a glass of water and prepared to rest. He saw the papers he had packed away on the table and picked them up.
I have a lot of free time at the moment, so I just want to study what I wrote last night. After all, this is Yu Dong's first experience of writing such a lot of things while drunk.
At first, I still couldn't understand anything as before, but after reading it for a while, I started to get some clues. It seemed that what was written in it were all what I had seen and heard before.
For example, "Aunt Su ran away with a foreigner", Yu Dong guessed that "Aunt Su ran away with a foreigner".
This was an incident that happened in the village when he was a child. Yu Dong had forgotten Aunt Su's real name. She only remembered that she was the daughter-in-law of Liao Zhengnan in the village. The couple had a bad relationship because they had no children, and they often quarreled. Later, a foreigner came to the village.
Man, soon Aunt Su disappeared too.
People in the village said that Aunt Su fell in love with a foreign man and ran away with him.
Yu Dong was still young at that time, and he didn't know whether what everyone said was true or false. He only knew that a foreign man did come to the village in those two days, and Aunt Su did run away.
Next to this sentence is "Liao Li does not have a child." Yu Dong guessed that he wanted to write "Liao Zhengnan wants a divorce because his son is not his biological son."
This happened two years ago. After Aunt Su ran away, Liao Zhengnan took a new wife home not long after, and later gave birth to a son.
After the child was born, Liao Zhengnan told people everywhere that he could have a baby because there was something wrong with his ex-wife. However, a few years ago, he discovered that his son was not his biological son and wanted to divorce his current wife.
Above "Liao Li Bu Sheng" is "Tao Quilt".
This story will be told when Yu Dong was in junior high school. There was an art teacher in their school named Tao Wenwen, who was young and beautiful. One day, when their classmate Liang Xin passed by Tao Wenwen's dormitory at night, he happened to meet the principal inside.
The principal also ran out to talk to Liang Xin and asked him to help him get a quilt.
This thing is quite magical. When Liang Xin told his classmates at the time, everyone didn't believe it. The principal's son and Yu Dong were still classmates. However, later the principal did divorce his wife and married Tao Wenwen.
Later, the principal was caught engaging in prostitution, which caused an uproar in the school.
Anyway, the things recorded here are messy, covering all eras, including things that happened in the 1950s and 1960s when Yu Dong was not yet born, and these things were all what Yu Dong later heard from his elders.
The characters appearing in it include students, teachers, migrant workers, etc.
The timeline of these things between them is very messy. Sometimes it is happening in the 1950s and 1960s, sometimes it is happening in the 1970s and 1980s, and sometimes it is happening in the 1990s.
Some can be connected together, and some are not related at all.
Yu Dong didn't remember many trivial things, but he still recorded them when he was drunk.
Yu Dong thought for a while and found some new pieces of paper to sort out what he wrote last night.
He originally thought it was not difficult, but when he actually did it, he felt how difficult it was.
On the one hand, the contents recorded are indeed crude and sloppy; on the other hand, many things can only be remembered after thinking about them for a long time, and some of them have no impression at all.
It took Yu Dong half a day to sort out the above contents.
At this moment, the story line became clear. Judging from the time, there should be three lines, the 1950s and 1960s, the 1970s and 1980s, and the 1990s. The last two can actually be merged into one line.
There are many characters involved in it, and there are also many stories, some of which can be connected together, and some of which are independent of each other. If this is a novel, it is a novel with a bit of historical meaning and focusing on the Shanghai market.
But that alone would not make it a novel.
Yu Dong needs to add a few main characters to connect the stories inside, so that they can live from the earliest 1950s and 1960s to the 1990s. And to show the changes in Shanghai, local dialect is definitely indispensable, but purely local dialect is
It is very unfriendly to non-local readers, and he has to spend a lot of effort to transform the local dialect so that people can not only feel Shanghai through the language, but also understand it.
It's just that if Yu Dong does this, Jin Yucheng's flowers may not come out later.
But compared to "Flowers", Yu Donghui did it more thoroughly. He himself has no attachment to dialect writing, and even the modified dialect will only be leftovers in his works.
Because he is worried that these things will limit his creation within a circle. Yu Dong had this feeling when he read "Flowers". Jin Yucheng seemed to be restricted by the language he transformed.
Or maybe he was restricted by online serialization.
Yu Dong wanted to write "Shanghai", but it was impossible to write "Flowers". The nonsense words he wrote last night touched him very much.
This magical flow of consciousness is elusive, yet very fascinating.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Du Dong did not rush to write. He wanted to wait a little longer, and maybe he could "decode" more things from these pieces of paper.
…
Several days passed after this, and Yu Dong almost forgot about it, but he was not in a hurry.
At the beginning of July, the furniture of the new house began to be moved in one after another. At the same time, Yu Dong also began to write invitations, preparing to send them out one by one in July.
The relatives of both parties were left to the four parents of both parties, and the rest were sent to Yu Dong themselves, mainly Yu Dong's friends.
Yang Xiao, Tan Kai, and teacher Hu Yueming will definitely give it away.
Yu Dong did not want to invite Cheng Yongxing, Li Xiaolin and others. After all, they were so far away, and they had not given gifts before, so it would be difficult to return them in the future.
However, when they met last year, Li Xiaolin and the others specifically mentioned this matter, and it seemed not good for Yu Dong to remain silent.
There is also Zhang Yimou. He was still talking about this when he came over for a drink last time, saying that he must come to drink Yu Dong's wedding wine, so he had to send an invitation.
Han Dong and Gu Qian are in Jinling, and the two of them often come to the poetry reading club, and they have a lot of contacts with Yu Dong, so they must definitely invite him.
There are also some people, such as Cao Yang, Wang Anyi, Zhao Changtian, and Li Xiaolin who work in the same building every day. If Li Xiaolin and Cheng Yongxing are invited, it seems unreasonable not to invite them.
After thinking about it, Yu Dong simply stopped worrying and sent invitations to everyone he had a similar relationship with.
Sometimes there is no need to get too entangled in this kind of thing. You have to take into account the human world, but it is better not to think too complicatedly, otherwise it will only increase troubles.
Before the invitation was even finished, good news came from the United States, saying that the movie "Second World" had won five more awards at the Saturn Awards ceremony.
Yu Dong didn't take it seriously, but the domestic media were extremely excited. After all, there was big news to write about. In the past two years, there have been more and more reports about foreign countries in the news media, and the public has become more concerned about foreign affairs.
They are very interested, and the news about a Chinese in the United States makes them even more interested.
Even if Chinese people do something outside, they can be called "bringing glory to the country", not to mention Yu Dong's actual achievements are enough to make the media write a book.
"Reference News" almost opened a column for Yu Dong. After reporting the box office news of "The Second World" some time ago, it did not rest and continued to update the sales situation of "Fatal Identity" in the United States.
Not only that, they also put in a lot of effort. They even found out the news about the Werewolf Club opening in the United States and made a column.
By July 10th, Yu Dong's invitation was almost finished, and all the furniture and appliances for the new house had been delivered.
Yu Dong and the others opened all the cupboard doors at home, and then did a thorough cleaning. After finishing, the couple lay comfortably on the sofa.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, half of the sunlight was blocked by the balcony, and the remaining half shone on the ground through the windows. Although the house was not big, the windows were bright and clean, and it was fully equipped with all the necessary features.
Cheng Yanqiu lay on his side, resting his head on Yu Dong's lap, looking at everything in the room.
Here, everything from the refrigerator to the small tea cup were all personally selected by her and Yu Dong.
She doesn't care about the outside world, but the world inside the house belongs to the two of them. They will live here for a long time, with firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine.
Occasionally, they may quarrel. As for what they quarrel about? Who knows, it may be over who will wash the dishes after dinner, or it may be because the TV programs they want to watch cannot be the same.
But no matter what, this house is destined to be filled with the joys and sorrows of the two of them, and everything in the house will be stained with their breath and record their lives.
She raised her head and looked at her husband's jawline, "Honey, have you read Shelley today?"
Yu Dong smiled, lowered his head and kissed his wife.
At some point, Shelley had become the secret code between them.
A kiss is the meeting of soul and soul on the lover's lips, and the lips are the place where the two souls of a lover meet.
…
Before going to Chengdu to attend the Galaxy Awards Ceremony, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu planned to follow Zhang Xian and others to visit Liangxi Water Margin City.
But before setting off, Zhang Xian and the others found Yu Dong.
Yu Dongzheng and Cheng Yanqiu were writing calligraphy when Zhang Xian, Jia Zhangke and several other students came running over in a hurry.
Although everyone was very anxious, when they saw Cheng Yanqiu's presence, the students still greeted Cheng Yanqiu respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Cheng."
When Cheng Yanqiu saw their fight, he was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Hello everyone."
Then Zhang Xian said anxiously, "Lao Yu, something happened."
Yu Dong looked at Zhang Xian and the students' anxious expressions and asked, "What happened?"
"There's something wrong with the crew of "Water Margin" and they can't start filming now. They just suddenly informed us today."
Yu Dong asked strangely, "What's wrong with them? Why are they notified now?"
"I don't know. They are also very worried. It's good if they can bother to tell us. I hear what they mean. They probably won't be able to start filming for a while, and they may have to wait until next year. We can't even talk about this.
It’s hard to say anything. After all, we are here to learn. If they have problems, we can only follow their rhythm."
Zhang Xian licked his dry lips. It could be seen that he was really anxious, "But the students had been preparing for so long and were full of enthusiasm, but it was extinguished all at once. And there were only a few of them in total.
If they miss this summer vacation, they won't have many opportunities in the future."
Now that this situation has arisen, the best thing is to temporarily find a crew to arrange the students there. Looking at the entire school, the only one who can accomplish this is Yu Dong, so Zhang Xian was the first to do this after getting the news.
I came to Yu Dong when I had time to see if he could think of a solution.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The students also looked at Yu Dong eagerly. As Zhang Xian said, they have indeed been prepared for a long time, both in action and psychology. Who knew
When we were about to set off, this happened.
Yu Dong nodded, he knew what Zhang Xian and the others meant when they came to him.
"Lao Zhang, classmates, don't worry, I'll help you ask."
After saying that, without any delay, Yu Dong immediately called Zhao Baogang in front of everyone. This call was not made to Zhao Baogang's home or to the Yanjing Television Art Center, but directly to the "Don't Want"
The cast of "Talking to Strangers".
At the end of June, the crew of "Can't Talk to Strangers" had set up camp in Shanghai, and Zhao Baogang immediately gave the crew's phone number to Yu Dong.
The call was put through, and the students all held their breath and leaned their heads to listen.
"Hello, hello, who are you looking for?"
A deep and magnetic young man's voice sounded from the opposite side. Zhang Xian and the others' hearts jumped, and they prayed in their hearts that they must succeed.
Yu Dong said, "Hello, are you the crew of "Don't Talk to Strangers"?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Hello, I am Yu Dong."
"Teacher Yu Dong?" Hearing that it was Yu Dong, the other party was a little excited, "Teacher Yu, please ask Director Zhao, I will call for you."
"Thank you..."
Before Yu Dong finished speaking, he heard the sound of a microphone being placed on the table from the other side, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
After about two or three minutes, there was another burst of footsteps, but this time it was much calmer.
"Hello, Teacher Yu Dong?" Zhao Baogang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's me, Director Zhao. I must have been very busy these two days."
"Haha, yes, I just came here and there are a lot of trivial matters. How about it, it's summer vacation now, do you want to come over and have a look?" Zhao Baogang said.
"I want to go there and have a look, but I may not go there alone."
"Not alone?" Zhao Baogang was a little confused, "Is there anyone else? Is it your wife?"
"Also." Yu Dong said with a smile, "Director Zhao, I won't sell anything to you. It's like this. Our school used to be..."
After spending a while, Yu Dong briefly explained the situation to Zhao Baogang, and then asked him if he could do him a favor and let the students stay there for a while.
After listening, Zhao Baogang said very cheerfully, "I don't think it's anything. This is no problem at all. You can come over at any time. It happens that there are still a few empty rooms in the residence we rent. If the students don't mind, just squeeze in.
.You don’t have to worry about eating or anything like that. Just eat on the set. They eat what we eat. Since it’s an experience, let’s experience the life of the set completely.”
Although the phone was not on speakerphone and the voice was very low, some students still heard Zhao Baogang's words. The excitement spread among them, but the students did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Yu Dong's conversation with Zhao Baogang.
Yu Dong also didn't expect that Zhao Baogang agreed without any hesitation, and also took the initiative to bear the food and accommodation of the students. He said gratefully, "Director Zhao, you have been a big help this time."
"Hey, it's a little effort, and we are also short of extras. I made a profit by getting so many extras for free. Okay, you guys have to come over and let me know in advance, and I'll have someone make arrangements. Although the crew is simple, but we
You can't neglect this great screenwriter when he comes over, right?" Zhao Baogang said with a smile.
Yu Dong nodded, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them and call you later."
"Okay, I may not be able to answer the call if you call me later. Just tell the person who answered the phone and let them tell me, so as not to delay the matter. Then I will hang up first, there is something else that needs to be done here.
Go and make a decision.”
"OK, bye."
When Yu Dong hung up the phone, loud shouts erupted from around him.
"Long live Teacher Yu."
"Long live Brother Dong!"
"Teacher Yu is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering."
Yu Dong smiled and pressed his hand, "The matter has been resolved, and you should keep your hearts in your stomach. I will ask people to prepare. If you don't leave tomorrow, we will leave the day after tomorrow. I will go there with you then. Before I go, I will go with you.
Please tell me, when you get to the set, you must not cause trouble to others, but don’t ask anything just because you are afraid of trouble. I saved my face and won this opportunity for you. If you can’t learn anything, I will take care of you one by one.
Got your ass kicked."
"Don't worry, Teacher Yu, we will cherish this opportunity and won't let you down."
"Yes, Brother Dong, this time we go there, as long as we can't learn to death, we will learn to death."
"Okay, okay, stop playing tricks with me." Yu Dong waved his hand, "You go back first, Director Zhang and I have some things to discuss."
"Okay, see you, Teacher Yu."
The students said hello and left happily.
After they left, Yu Dong asked Zhang Xian, "Can the car you are looking for leave tomorrow? I said we were going to Liangxi before, but now we are going to Shanghai. Is that okay?"
After the matter was resolved, Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head and said with a smile, "No problem, we can leave tomorrow."
Yu Dong nodded, "Then we'll set off tomorrow. I'll tell Zhao Baogang later. Zhao Baogang said that they will arrange food and accommodation, so we don't have to refuse. But when we get to the crew, we must be busy.
Keep your posture low, don't skimp on the funds you prepared before, and treat them to a meal when you see the opportunity."
"You still have to answer for this?" Zhang Xian laughed, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Okay, I won't say much more, we'll leave tomorrow."
After Zhang Xian left, Yu Dong was still frowning and thinking about something. Cheng Yanqiu asked from the side, "What's wrong? Are there any unresolved matters?"
"Nothing." Yu Dong shook his head, "I just happened to drop by home this time to take a look."
Chapter completed!
