Writing about entertainment was approached by a female villain archetype

Chapter 264
"Old Zhao, what are you watching at night if you don't sleep?" On the balcony of Zhao Kangnian's second floor, his wife's voice sounded from behind him.

After hearing this, Zhao Kangnian stopped looking up at the sky, turned to his wife and smiled: "Looking at the stars."

The wife was stunned when she heard this, and then she also looked up at the sky. As she looked, she wondered: "It's winter, and this is the capital. Where do the stars in the dark sky come from?"

When Zhao Kangnian heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, it's really dark in the sky."

After saying this, he looked up at the sky again.

Needless to say, if we set up a telescope, this scene would probably be no different from Sun Liancheng looking at the stars in "In the Name of the People".

"Play riddles with me every day." After listening to Zhao Kangnian's words, his wife glanced at him angrily and said.

Zhao Kangnian just giggled when he heard this and did not reply.At this moment, all he could think about was the plot of "The Three-Body Problem" he had just finished reading.

The three original volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" contain approximately 90 words.What Xu Chuan is currently giving out is the content of the first and second parts.The combined word count of these two volumes is approximately 52 words.

Of course, what Da Liu wrote was written by Da Liu, and what Xu Chuan wrote was written by Xu Chuan. Even if he had read this book many times, it was impossible to remember every word and paragraph in it.

Therefore, the combined word count of the first two parts of "The Three-Body Problem" he gave was even more than that of the original version, reaching about 55 words.

For online readers, 55 words can be read quickly in just half a day.

But "The Three-Body Problem" is not an online novel after all, and Lao Zhao doesn't have that much free time, so his reading speed is naturally much slower.

However, having said that, Lao Zhao read as much as he had free time in the past three days. This 55-word novel was quickly read by him in the time he had squeezed out.

Otherwise, different people have completely different utilization rates of fragmented time.He is obviously the leader among them.

Zhao Kangnian has not read many science fiction novels.My understanding of science fiction actually comes from film and television works.To be more precise, it comes from American blockbusters.

Leaving aside "The Wandering Blue Star", he didn't even know what year or month it was the last time he read a science fiction novel.

In other words, Lao Zhao's foundation in this aspect is no different from that of most ordinary readers of "The Three-Body Problem" on the planet.

Based on this reality, one can imagine what Zhao's reaction would be after watching "The Three-Body Problem".Even if he was reading quickly and didn't pay attention to some details, "The Three-Body Problem" still opened his eyes.

Excellent literary works are like this, they can resonate with different people to the greatest extent.

Old Zhao has now "called", and he "understands" why the leader called him to ask for the book.

I thought "The Wandering Blue Star" would be Xu Chuan's limit, but I didn't expect that he could also pull out "The Three-Body Problem".

"Xiuzhi, what do you think the brain of that boy Xu Chuan is like?" Thinking of this, Zhao Kangnian suddenly said to his wife Hu Xiuzhi.

"What did that young man do again?"

"He wrote a science fiction novel some time ago, which is really amazing. Do you think his talent in the field of artistic creation is a bit too high?

Just like music, film and television, and literature, the founders of these three fields are chasing him to feed him, as if they are afraid that he will not survive? "Zhao Kangnian couldn't help but become happy when he said this.

"How can you talk like that? Why are you afraid that he won't survive? Okay, okay, go to bed quickly."

Hearing Hu Xiuzhi's urging, Old Zhao put back his random thoughts, nodded and walked into the room.

As he lay on the bed, another question came to his mind.That is, will there be a follow-up to "The Three-Body Problem"?
This question was left until the next morning, when Xu Chuan and Cai Meng appeared in his office holding several sets of books.

"Leader, there must be a follow-up. I plan to write three parts of this book. I already have the outline of the third part in my mind, but I haven't written it out yet." After hearing Zhao Kangnian's question, Xu Chuan smiled. responded.

"When can it be written?" Zhao Kangnian asked immediately after hearing this.

"You really asked me this question. I don't know." Xu Chuan spread his hands and looked at Zhao Kangnian with an innocent expression.

He is actually lying here. You must know that Xu Chuan has been writing the "Three-Body" series of books for two years, and "Produce 101" was not finished yet when he started writing.

Therefore, he already has the complete version of the book.If I have to say there is any flaw, it is that I haven’t had time to proofread the third part.

To be honest, if he wasn't afraid that the first part wouldn't be enough of a shock, he would have put off the second part.There are some things that people have to look forward to.

Zhao Kangnian had no doubts about Xu Chuan's words. He felt that this kind of novel was not easy to write. It would be strange if Xu Chuan could accurately report the completion time.

After all, he is not a full-time writer.

Thinking of this, he reached out and flipped through the hardcover editions of "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Blue Star" that were obviously bound with care, and said with a smile: "In the future, when these two books are published and sell well, this self-printed book But it’s worth something.”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

What Lao Zhao actually meant was to remind Xu Chuan not to print this book and give it away to others.Now that this self-printed book is interested in someone, he must ensure the specialness of this hardcover edition.

Although that person might not care about this at all, there were some things that Zhao Kangnian felt he still needed to mention to Xu Chuan.Regardless of whether this is good for him, at least it won't do any harm.

Xu Chuan actually understood this truth, so after hearing this, he deliberately said exaggeratedly to Zhao Kangnian: "Can it be valuable? Just these few sets of books, the big printer in my studio is smoking. . After typing the book, the printer was also scrapped.

Leader, my printer costs RMB [-]. I really can’t afford the cost.If anyone wants to read it in the future, it’s better to wait until it’s published. Please don’t ask for work for me. "

"What do you mean I'll take a job for you? Don't cry poor in front of me. Who doesn't know you are a rich man?" Zhao Kangnian laughed very happily when he heard this.

To be honest, he really admired Xu Chuan's understanding and acumen.

After admiring it, he couldn't help but said: "By the way, have you ever thought about adding more burdens for yourself?"

"Isn't it too late?" Xu Chuan was stunned when he heard this. Good guy, is Kaogong the end of the universe?
"Why is it too late? How old are you? I was about the same age as you when I started working. We were both 24 or [-] years old."

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that yesterday, the county magistrate Wu from my hometown told me that it was not easy to be an Internet celebrity county magistrate." Xu Chuan said with a smile after hearing this.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kangnian understood what Xu Chuan meant.Xu Chuan is so famous. If he really wanted to take the public examination, the most suitable place for him would actually be an organization such as an art troupe.

But Zhao Kangnian didn't want him to join the art troupe, that would be meaningless.

But in other units, Xu Chuan is really a bit too eye-catching.It may be a lot more convenient when working with his reputation.But there will definitely be many more difficulties, after all, everyone will instinctively stare at him.

The role that Xu Chuan can play by then will probably not be even a little worse than it is now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kangnian ignored the topic and said to Xu Chuan: "Okay, let's sign the gift first. We don't want to keep the leaders waiting for too long."

"Okay." When Xu Chuan heard this, he instinctively picked up the pen he brought.When he opened the title page of a book and wanted to write, he suddenly realized that he didn't even know who the book was for.

Ever since, he turned to look at Zhao Kangnian and asked: "Leader, how should I write it?"

"Just write Mr. Pu Lan Xiao Cun, a gift from Xu Chuan, and just bring the date. There is no need to write anything else." Zhao Kangnian said after thinking for a while.

What Xu Chuan wrote to him was "xiaojian", which is the same word as "xiaocun", but there are some differences in meaning.

Mr. Pu Lan made it clear that he liked this book after reading it, and took the initiative to ask Xu Chuan for it.Therefore, it is better to use "xiaocun" than "xiaocun".

This not only ensures the consistency of Xu Chuan's gift of books and words, but also achieves specificity.

At this time, Xu Chuan had no intention of thinking about this. He searched quickly in his head and asked doubtfully: "Leader, who is Mr. Pu Lan?"

For the general public, if they don't pay special attention to this area, they probably only know a few big shots.

But Xu Chuan was different. He would have deliberately looked at these things.Some time ago, I received another reminder from Zhao Kangnian, and I went to read some public information again.But Xu Chuan really didn't remember the person Pu Lan existed.

"You write first." Zhao Kangnian did not reply, but urged with a smile.

People who like reading usually can’t help but write some.The leader usually writes short and medium-sized articles, and signs them with Pu Lan.

In other words, Pu Lan is his pen name, but not many people know this now.

Over the past few decades, this leader has written a considerable number of articles, and it is estimated that they will be published after he retires.By then, the pen name Pu Lan will definitely be known to the public.

Seeing that Zhao Kangnian didn't say anything, Xu Chuan didn't ask any more questions, but obediently picked up a pen and wrote down what Zhao Kangnian just told him.

"You should really practice this word." Zhao Kangnian couldn't help but said after looking at it for a while.

Mainly because Mr. Pu Lan's calligraphy is also outstanding.Xu Chuan's handwriting is not ugly, but it is not good-looking either. It can only be said to be correct.

The most important thing is that there are so many people in Lao Zhao's unit who can write well.With their comparison, Xu Chuan's move really made Lao Zhao look down on him.

"Leader, I'm left-handed. It would be great if my right hand can write like this." Xu Chuan's words are not nonsense. As early as in "Produce 101", he used this thing to feed chicken soup to students.

Zhao Kangnian couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. He caught up the conversation and said, "Then write it with your left hand and let me see."

"It's been too long since I've used it. What I wrote is worse than what I wrote on my right hand." Xu Chuan looked cheeky as a matter of course. "Hey~~ Where did you learn the way you talk like this?" Zhao Kangnian was thoroughly amused by Xu Chuan.

At this time, Cai Meng, who was sitting upright like a good baby on the sofa next to him, was looking at Xu Chuan with admiration, and stars were almost shining in his eyes.

It has to be me, Brother Chuan. How could anyone else dare to talk to Zhao Zhizhi like this?

No, no, if it were anyone else, Zhao Zhizhi would not have such an easy-going attitude.

Just when Cai Meng was thinking wildly, she heard Xu Chuan over there ask "unyieldingly": "Leader, I have also written this gift. Please tell me who this Mr. Pu Lan is." chant."

"Mr. Pu Lan is Mr. Pu Lan. What belongs to someone is not someone else's." Zhao Kangnian obviously did not tell Xu Chuan his thoughts.

He was afraid that if he told Xu Chuan now, Xu Chuan would be "proud and complacent", and this was also out of protection for Xu Chuan.As for Mr. Pu Lan, he will mention this matter when the books are delivered later.I believe he also supports this.

Thinking of this, before Xu Chuan could speak, Zhao Kangnian continued: "How are your preparations for "The Wandering Blue Star" going? When are you going to start filming?"

At the same time, similar problems were placed in front of Remy.

In the office, Xu Cihua asked: "How are the preparations for Huan Ze's "Three-Star Copper Tower" going?"

"Huan Ze's production team has already contacted many people through our resources. Now the focus is on finding actors. Once the actors are confirmed, we can announce the project to the outside world and start as planned. Hype.”

Xu Cihua nodded when he heard this and did not continue the topic. Instead, he brought up another thing and said: "Why are you always absent-minded these days? What happened?"

As soon as these words came out, Remy instinctively panicked, but on the surface he still managed to speak calmly: "I've been feeling a little unwell lately, I have a fever."

It's true that he has a bit of a fever. When Remy thinks about his experiences in the past few days, he really wants to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Ever since I was fooled by Xu Chuan that day, I had been dreaming for several days in a row, like a special TV series.

And dreaming is something that sometimes means thinking about something day and night, and doing it continuously deepens the impression on yourself.

This makes Remy a little afraid to even sleep now.Because there was a guy in the dream who liked to hit people, and he didn’t stop even when he was being filmed and yelled at.

Damn Xu Laosan, can’t you be gentler?

Thinking of this, Remy was a little dazed again.

It was at this time that Xu Cihua's assistant Tong Shibang suddenly spoke with concern: "Mr. Lei, you have a fever? Is everything okay?"

Hearing this, Remi raised his eyes and glanced at Tong Shibang, and said lightly: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"It's easy to catch a cold this winter. Mr. Xu, you said that as a leader, you can't focus on work. Sometimes you have to care about your subordinates, don't you think so?" Tong Shibang turned to Xu Cihua and said.

When Xu Cihua heard this, he immediately understood Tong Shibang's little thoughts, so he followed the words and said: "Remy, if you are not feeling well, I think you can just rest at home for a few days. You will never finish the work, and your health It’s still relatively important.”

"Yes, Mr. Lei, you'd better rest well if you're sick. If you really have some important work that you can't let go of, I'll help you deal with it."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office changed instantly.

Remy suddenly remembered what he had talked with Xu Chuan a few days ago.

Some things are like this. It's okay if you don't talk about them. If you talk about them, your views on this matter will change uncontrollably under self-suggestion.

For example, if a boy admits that he likes a girl.So it doesn't matter whether he was interested in this girl before.From the moment he admits it, he will inevitably start to have some different feelings towards this girl.

Remy was the same at this time. After talking to Xu Chuan about Tong Shibang, her feelings about some things were completely different from before.

In the past, she would have simply refused and said no.

Now, she turned to look at Xu Cihua and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you think I should ask Assistant Tong to help me with my work?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Cihua couldn't help but frown and did not reply.It was Tong Shibang who said, "It's no trouble, Mr. Lei."

However, Remi ignored him at all and continued to look at Xu Cihua. She wanted to know what Xu Cihua's attitude was now.

After more than a minute, Xu Cihua said thoughtfully: "It's okay to rest for a few days, your health is the most important thing."

As soon as these words came out, surprise burst out in Tong Shibang's eyes.

Remi was a little disappointed, but she didn't show these things on her face. She just nodded, then stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, leader."

After saying this, she turned around and left Xu Cihua's office.

Also leaving the office were Xu Chuan and Cai Meng.In addition to them, Zhao Kangnian also left, and he had to deliver books.

About four or ten minutes later, he appeared in an office.

The old leader looked at the words of "Mr. Pu Lan Xiao Cun" on the title pages of the two books and understood Zhao Kangnian's intention without Zhao Kangnian's explanation.

However, Zhao Kangnian still reported today's events seriously.When he heard Xu Chuan's sentence "a printer costs sixty-one thousand and nine" like a "joke", the old leader was amused.

Everyone knows that printing books is unlikely to destroy such an expensive printer.If it were to be scrapped so easily, would the printing shop still dare to accept the job?
"This young man is quite a wonderful person." Mr. Pu Lan said as he stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind his office and found a set of four volumes of books.

Then he put it on the table and said to Zhao Kangnian: "The right way is to reciprocate. This Xiao Xu gave me a book worth [-] yuan. I don't have such an expensive one to give back to him. This set of books has my annotations on it. , you take it back and give it to him as my return gift."

The covers of these books cannot be seen, because each one is wrapped in kraft paper, with "The Complete Works of Wang Yangming" written on the kraft paper.

Zhao Kangnian looked at these four books, his eyes obviously widened.Because this set of books should be one of the leader's favorite books, and he must keep them with him for at least 20 years.He often teaches everyone to "unify knowledge with action".

Thinking of this, Zhao Kangnian was just about to speak when he saw the leader take out two pieces of letter paper from the white-covered "Three Body" that he took from him.

"I bought this set of "The Complete Works of Yangming" for 12 yuan at the time, but I still haven't read enough. Here is a short paragraph of reflections I wrote after reading "The Three-Body Problem". You can give it to him as well.

If "The Three-Body Problem" is published in the future, if he is willing to use it, he will use it as my recommendation. "After saying that, the two pieces of letter paper were placed in front of Zhao Kangnian.

When Zhao Kangnian heard this, his eyes that were already widened became even wider.

Good guy, not many people know the name of Mr. Pu Lan now. It will take a few years for this man to retire.If you look at Xu Chuanshu's recommendation words again, what will happen?What would Xu Chuan's reaction be?
So, he quickly said: "Leader, is this gift too heavy in return?"

"Kang Nian, our country's cultural soft power is weak internationally. Science fiction literature is worth recommending as a literary genre that is easy to spread and can have an impact.

Oh, by the way, last time I heard you say that Xiao Xu wanted to use the advance fund to support science fiction movies. Did he want to make them himself? "

"Yes, I was talking to him about this topic in the office just now." Zhao Kangnian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old leader asked curiously: "Are you filming this "Three-Body Problem"?"

"That's not true. His current focus is on "The Wandering Blue Star"."

"What's the progress?" The old leader nodded when he heard this, thinking about taking some time to read "The Wandering Blue Star" again.

"He said he was looking for an actor, but he was vague and couldn't speak clearly just now. He must be holding back something bad. Leader, please don't look at this kid's young age. He is really a ghost. Yes, full of fantastic ideas." Zhao Kangnian took the opportunity to "put some eye drops" on Xu Chuan.

He felt that now he really needed to give the leader a good report on what kind of player Xu Chuan was.

This is not harming Xu Chuan, but helping Xu Chuan.

"Hahaha, Kang Nian, you still need to understand the three distinct working principles. Although Xiao Xu is not a public official, I think these working principles are applicable to him."

People working within the system should be clear about the so-called "three distinctions".

At the same time, Xu Chuan, who was described as "full of fantastic ideas", was on the phone with Huan Ze.

"You have already talked with Wu Yunfei, right?"

"Yes, but after Wu Yunfei heard that it was a Disney project, she didn't seem to be very interested." When Huan Ze said this, his tone was full of doubts. He didn't understand, he really didn't understand.

Fortunately, Xu Chuan understood. It was probably because Wu Yunfei felt that she could not deal with foreign capital, so she was somewhat resistant.

So, Xu Chuan said to him with a bit of laughter and tears: "Okay, I understand, you go and talk to Li Fei first."

"Eh, okay."

The two chatted about something else and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan held the phone and began to think. After working on the "Wandering Blue Star" project for so long, it was time to start making some moves.
