Chapter 45 The Manuscript Fee Incident
Since the last time Choi Jin-ryong sent Lin Yuna home, the relationship between the two has become more harmonious, and even Seo Joo-hyun can't figure out what happened between the two, but no matter what, it's always a good thing to see her two relatives living in peace. Since June, Cui Zhenlong has become very busy, home, school, crew and taekwondo gym have been rotated in four places, if he has time, he will go to Xu Zhuxian, Lin Yuner, Quan Zhilong and a few other relatives to go out to play, but this made Cui Xueli, the little girl, very jealous, and shouted that Oppa didn't like her anymore, and didn't take her out to play.
On the other hand, Park Xiuhui's third novel "Dae Jang Geum" also officially began to sell on June 15th, and major shopping malls and bookstores all coincidentally put this novel in a conspicuous position in the store, and on June 18th, Choi Geng-woo's "Xiuhui Publishing House" also joined forces with Lotte Department Store again, and held a special book signing event in the mall. Lotte Department Store had to deploy more staff to maintain order at the scene. The entire signing event lasted from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m., nearly 3 hours later than the original plan.
With the overall sales of "Dae Jang Jin" heating up, Park Xiuhui, who was originally idle at home, has become busy again, and various work schedules such as novel signing, media interviews, and charity activities have also been arranged, and she has appeared in major newspapers, which has made Park Xiuhui a well-deserved star in the literary world. But at the same time, another topic that had been silent and almost forgotten by book lovers was again in the dust.
"C-Loong", the second writer of the novel "Dae Jang Geum", still playing with his mysticism, did not show up at all at this book launch, and the majority of fans expressed their hope that C-Loong would come out behind the scenes and speak out. Park so-hye also felt a little regretful, she added her son's name to the author's column on a whim, and now it's good that every time there is a media interview, she can't spare "Who is C-Loong?" She could only smile and vaguely get through this question, which also made her feel annoyed. What made her even more unbearable was Cui Gengjing, a female paper, who surrounded her every day during this time to ask about the details of C-Loong, and threatened to deduct his manuscript fee if "C-Loong" didn't show up, so...
"Ernie, what are we doing back home? Didn't you say you would take me to 'C-Loong'? Cui Gengjing asked with a puzzled face as soon as she walked into the door.
Park Xiuhui didn't reply, just smiled mysteriously, took Cui Gengjing's wrist and walked to the study, in the room, Cui Zhenlong was alone with his back to the door, lying on the desk and writing something hard, and there were thirst-quenching drinks and fruit snacks in his hand. Park Xiuhui took the lead in pushing the door in, and said jokingly under Cui Gengjing's surprised gaze: "Zhenlong, your aunt said that your share of the manuscript fee for "Da Jang Jin" will be deducted..."
Without waiting for Park Xiuhui to finish speaking, Cui Zhenlong jumped up like a spring under his buttocks, and his mouth was also scolding: "Yaxi!! Dare to deduct my C-Loong's manuscript fee?? Why is she, a flat-chested and violent woman?? … uh~~~" Cui Zhenlong, who had just turned around, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the two people standing at the door...
At this moment, Cui Gengjing was also frightened by this shocking news, his mouth was wide open, and his head was completely crashed, Cui Zhenlong was the first to come back to his senses, looking at Park Xiuhui who was leaning on the threshold to watch the show, and lost a look: "Oh Mom, you are so naughty~~ Playing this kind of game will kill people~~"
Park Xiuhui also smiled and looked back: "I was also forced, now your aunt can do it yourself!" ”
Not to mention that the mother and son communicated with each other with tacit eyes that outsiders could not understand, Cui Gengjing also recovered from the shocking information just now at this time, and then a nameless fire rushed straight to his head from his heart, and he rushed over and pressed Cui Zhenlong to the ground regardless of a qiē, and then there was a cross fixation method in martial arts, and the action was so sharp and fast that professional wrestlers could feel ashamed...
"Say I'm flat-chested, right? Call me violent, right? Say I'm a woman, right? Then I'll show you what it means to be brutal and cold-blooded and righteous to kill relatives today! Oh roar roar roar ~ ~ "Okay, Cui Gengjing has now entered a state of rage, Cui Zhenlong's goods are also completely cups, but he doesn't dare to resist, otherwise the end will be ten times more miserable than now, just now his own mouth twitched, and he said everything in his heart, uh, now he can only suffer a little bit of flesh and skin to let Cui Gengjing dissipate his anger.
Under Cui Zhenlong's repeated exit for help and mercy and Park Xiuhui's persuasion, Cui Gengjing let go of the goods, but Cui Gengjing still felt incredible: "Ernie, Zhenlong, he is really 'C-Loong'?" Park Xiuhui glanced at Cui Zhenlong, who was standing next to him with the appearance of a villain, and nodded helplessly in agreement.
"How is that possible? He... He's only 13 years old~~"
"Aunt~~ What's wrong with me when I'm 13 years old? If you have ambitions, you are not old, and you have no ambitions to live to be 100 years old!! In ancient times, someone could become a prime minister at the age of 10, but is it strange that I became a writer at the age of 13? Auntie, you wouldn't have thought that I was the mysterious writer 'C-Loong' that I had been looking for out there, did you? Doesn't it feel incredible? Alas~~ There is a genius like me in this world, the wisdom of a mortal like you is incomprehensible, and life is really lonely... hohoho~~" Cui Zhenlong's hands were crossed on his waist, his head was raised high, and he began to look at people with his nostrils proudly.
Park Xiuhui really couldn't see it, and gave Cui Zhenlong, who was getting sè, a brain jump, and then told Cui Gengjing in detail about the cause and effect of the incident, and asked her that it was not appropriate to reveal C-Loong's true identity in this situation, Cui Gengjing also expressed her understanding of this, but she still said with regret: "I really didn't expect the mysterious writer C-Loong to be a little kid, what does this make those book lovers embarrassed?!" omo~,If this news is revealed, it will definitely cause a national earthquake.,That's the best publicity.,But it's a pity~~"
"Aunt~hehe~~ Then look at my manuscript fee..."Cui Zhenlong rubbed his hands and lowered his head and asked, as long as this product talks about money, it will immediately change to another expression, it is really impossible to imagine that the tsundere who was still shouting about calling himself a "genius" just now and the faceless and skinless second goods in front of him are the same person.
Cui Gengjing, who was her nephew's cousin, also felt a little immune, and said angrily: "The manuscript fee will not be less than you, the stinky boy is not old but he is so greedy for money, I am really ~~ Several children in the family, even Wuli Zhenli (Cui Xueli) have been taken by you, and now they have become small money fans." ”
After stabilizing Cui Gengjing, Cui Zhenlong's goods returned to his own rhythm of life again, and the outside media speculated about C-Loong's identity, and he was also indifferent to this, completely leaving it to Park Xiuhui and them to deal with, saying that it was not the time for him to go to the front desk, he was not completely ready!
……
At the beginning of July 2000, Cui Zhenlong ushered in the final exam every year, but this year is different from the past, Cui Zhenlong unilaterally applied to the school for the skipping exam, so his exam papers and test locations are different from other students of the same grade, and the school sends a special person to conduct a one-to-one assessment. In fact, when Cui Zhenlong applied to the school, he was unanimously opposed by many teachers, after all, his age is younger than that of students of the same level, there is no need to rush into the study of higher grades, you can take it slowly step by step, this allusion to pulling seedlings is understandable to everyone.
But under the repeated insistence of Cui Zhenlong himself, Park Xiuhui personally went out to communicate with the school principal and the two sides reluctantly reached a consensus, requiring Cui Zhenlong to participate in the school's normal exams, in addition to another assessment opportunity, if he passed Guò, he would make an exception to allow him to skip grades, otherwise it would be better to study honestly and step by step.
In the end, the result of this skipping exam was unexpected by everyone, not that Cui Zhenlong did too badly, but on the contrary, he did too well! The difficulty of this test paper was personally checked by the principal, in fact, he also played a trick in the middle, not only added the exam questions of the third grade of middle school, but also mixed some high school questions into this exam, the purpose is also to let Cui Zhenlong himself be able to retreat from the difficulties, and An An returned to the original learning trajectory. But it backfired, and the principal of the school finally approved Cui Zhenlong to be promoted to the third grade of junior high school, and this matter came to an end.
And Cui Zhenlong himself didn't stop much after the exam, and went straight to the crew of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" in the car, and he didn't go for a few days, and he also missed it as if he was obsessed. After arriving at the set, Cui Zhenlong ran to Yin Xihu's side to say hello to the big director.
"It's coming~" Yin Xihu said plainly on the surface, but in his heart he was still very happy to see Cui Zhenlong again, it's always a good thing to have a competent free labor by his side, isn't it?
Seriously, Cui Zhenlong can be regarded as half of Yin Xihu's apprentice, but the two of them have a tacit understanding and did not break this thin layer of window paper, Cui Zhenlong did not mention apprenticeship, and Yin Xihu did not say that he accepted apprentices. But in the eyes of the rest of the crew, this is not the case, those who can mix in the entertainment industry are all human spirits, and their attention to Cui Zhenlong's child Cheng Dù is obviously up a notch, even those older actors and old-timers are polite to Cui Zhenlong, and they often have wuli Zhenlong on their lips How sensible and how good they are, they treat him as their own son and nephew.
Cui Zhenlong is a person with keen senses, of course, he noticed the subtle changes in the attitude of the crew towards him, but his demeanor on weekdays has become more and more respectful and modest, that kind of pampered and arrogant mentality is absolutely unacceptable, he still wants to enter this circle in the future, connections are very important resources, no matter which country, as long as you want to mix in the entertainment industry, it is really difficult to move an inch without connections.
Many people say that the American entertainment industry is not easy to mix, and it is difficult for Asians to break in and make a difference, so what is the reason? Or do they lack enough connections, no one to guide, no one to introduce, no one to introduce, no way to integrate into this relatively closed social group, how easy is it!
