173, return to Xi (3, 4/15+4)
Under Qin Qingxue's constant phone urging, Meng Shi still postponed his time to go to Sijiu City for two days.
On the 11th, I went to Tongji, my alma mater in my previous life, and met Liu Shengshui.
In the second month of Liu Shengshui's eunuch book, Meng Shi hired him to write a book.
This month's book is going to be on the shelves, and I just gave him the outline of the second volume.
Of course, the main purpose of this interview was that Meng Shi wanted to see Liu Shengshui's expression in person.
The result lived up to expectations, and his general expression of grunting bird flew away, which made Meng Shi very satisfied.
In fact, Liu Shengshui has written a book according to the outline in the past two months, and his grades are okay, at least dozens of streets better than the Xianxia who came to the palace because no one read it.
Meng Shi also gave him a very generous treatment, as long as he changed 4,000 words a day, he would be given a guarantee of 2,000, and the 600 full attendance of the website would also belong to him after it was put on the shelves.
In other words, Liu Shengshui takes a detailed outline and character design, and spends more than an hour writing a book every day, even if he has 0 subscriptions, he can have an income of 2,060.
For a junior, it is difficult to find such a free and lucrative job anywhere.
And in addition to the full copyright of this book belongs to Meng Shi, the subscription is only 40% for Meng Shi, let him take 60%, this treatment, according to Meng Shi, is Lao Tzu's pure fatherly love for you.
I want to say here that the station and the penguin here are two different things, don't talk about copyright, no matter what copyright is in the hands of the author, if the publishing house or film and television company is interested in the book, the website will come out as an intermediary at most and earn some intermediary fees.
Under such conditions, it should be a happy event for Liu Shengshui to put it on the shelves, at least his income will rise by a wave, but when he faced Meng Shi who was smiling at the end of the first volume and the end of the second volume, he felt as uncomfortable as eating.
Liu Shengshui already had a premonition that after it was put on the shelves, he began to write the end of the first volume, and his genealogy was going to be praised by readers, and when the second volume was finished, it was estimated that he would not even be able to keep his nationality......
, this thing was written by a human?
Oh, I'm writing it, that's not ...... That's a big deal!
Why am I writing this thing?!
He gave too much......
Liu Shengshui's mental journey is very exciting.
After seeing his expression, which was like a Sichuan opera changing face, Meng Shi left satisfied.
Liu Shengshui watched Meng Shi leave with his hands behind his back humming a song, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he was on the shelves on the 15th, how could he hang up the account number of this beep station in the testimonials on the shelves!
On the second day when Liu Shengshui wanted to write a testimonial on the shelf, Meng Shi and Ren Hu transferred to Pinghu with 200,000 cash and asked Wen Tong's father to give a "dowry gift".
Although 200,000 yuan is not even half of the black plastic bag given by the bank, 20 bundles of brand-new cash are more intuitive than numbers or cards.
Things were a little more troublesome than expected, but in the end they were resolved quite satisfactorily.
Meng Shi went in the morning, finished the work at noon, and Wen Tong followed him from Jiaxing to Yangjiang in the afternoon.
……
The world is suddenly late, the mountains and rivers are autumn, the autumn rain in Hezhou, and the mountains are cold.
Meng Shi squinted for a while, and woke up covered with a thin blanket, and there was not much rain floating outside the window of the bullet train, and the sky was already dark.
When it's cold, it's quite heart-warming for someone to cover a piece of clothing.
Looking to the side, Wen Tong closed his eyes and wore headphones.
Wen Tong is beautiful.
Otherwise, she is not qualified to think about whether she will be like the little sister if she stays in Sijiu City and will find someone to marry in order to stay in the city.
When Wen Tong was a child, her father didn't like her because she was a girl.
This idea was inherited from her grandmother, who had the same experience.
The same experience did not make the grandmother realize the harm, but solidified the patriarchy into a steel seal of thought, which she personally imposed on the next generation, the next generation.
His father was idle and gambled, and Wen Tong went to Sijiu City with people to make money to "subsidize the family" before he went to college.
She works as a cashier in a supermarket during the day, and is used to seeing the trivial things of tea, rice, oil and salt.
At night, he works part-time in a bar, watching red men and green women light luxury and petty bourgeoisie.
Sijiu City, like Shangdu, is a bottomless deep water.
In order to prevent herself from drowning, Wen Tong chose to watch the world coldly, just like the grass turtle she raised in the rental house, locking herself in a confined space until the day she left, releasing it and releasing herself.
But such a person, occasionally drunk, will babble about his childhood, and does not complain about his father's injustice, but is all small things such as lard bibimbap, pork belly taro rice, dried sweet potatoes and so on.
Yes, her fond memories of home are only some simple food and labor.
……
Feeling the gaze, Wen Tong opened his eyes, lowered his head and took off the earphones left and right, and raised his eyes to look at Meng Shi with some sadness in his eyes.
The two got into the car, Meng Shi just buried his head in sleep, and now he asked her, "Do you regret it?" ”
Meng Shi was afraid of trouble, so the method of dealing with it was decisive and clean.
Now unless Wen Tong is soft-hearted, it will be difficult for her father to take another penny from her, and others will not be able to put hats such as unfilial piety on her head in the future.
As for the video he handed over to Wen Tong, her father's face in the video is enough to build a plump independent female character with a little operation.
Of course, neither of them bothered to do that.
A person's image is not set up, but must be lived out slowly.
Wen Tong shook his head.
In fact, she knew in her heart that her father just regarded her as a tool, a tool for producing money on time, and maybe the only day he remembered was the time when he paid money every month.
In the past, I was just used to giving, used to saying good, and used to saying okay.
Suddenly, he didn't want to live like this that day, and Meng Shi understood from the words on the phone.
The two rarely communicated about this matter, but what Meng Shi did was what she thought.
Meng Shi stretched his waist, "Stay in Yaoshan for a while, live in my house or accompany Grandma to live in the old house, I have explained it to my brother, uncle, and aunt, if you have anything to say to them, you're welcome,
By the way, my aunt believes in Christianity, and a girl of your age should be interested in church or something, and go to church together if you have nothing to do, learn from those people, and ask for what you know, don't just think about giving. ”
He is very open to religion, as long as it is not a thing that douses himself with gas, he has no problem.
Wen Tong had watched the recording of him and Yang Yi, but she was not interested in asking for it from the void, so she curled the hair that fell from her sideburns behind her ears and whispered, "What should I do when I get to the village?" ”
Meng Shi frowned and looked at her seriously, "Sister, I don't want to package you and operate you, and there is no script to give you,
If you used to get drunk and say that you longed for a self-sufficient rural life, not just drunk talk, you have a lot of things you can do in Yaoshan. ”
"It's not drunkenness." Wen Tong shook his head, "It's just that I don't know if I can do it well." ”
People's self-confidence needs to be built up by success again and again, and Wen Tongjue seems to have never done anything successful.
"We don't want to make money, we don't have pressure, we just share life, different lifestyles, different wonderful ......"
Meng Shi is not good at encouragement, even if he tries hard to organize words, he is still a little stumbling.
"Thirty years in Hedong...... Well...... Life has dreams...... Climb over that mountain, and point your sword at ......"
The craftsmanship of this product to make chicken soup for the soul is inferior, and there are no words when he speaks, and after a few words of chaotic nonsense, he simply clapped his hands and smashed his fists into the sky, "Understand the applause!" ”
Wen Tong smiled helplessly, gently applauded the goods, pulled his arm again, pressed down his raised hand, and said softly, "Okay, okay, understood, understood." ”
Meng Shi was very pleased, shaking his head and humming in a tone that only he could understand, "Sister, I saw the tears in your eyes, they told me that women are very gentle and love tears, saying that this is very beautiful...... Sister, come home with me......"
Wen Tong listened to his nonsense humming, reached out and took the thin blanket that had slipped down, folded it carefully, and put it on his knees.
There are very few things she brings out of her "home", and this is the only one that can protect her from the cold.
The in-car announcement is about to arrive in Hezhou.
Wen Tong said, "It's time to get to the station." ”
She got up and took Meng Shi's bag.
Meng Shi's original plan was to transfer directly from Hezhou to Sijiu City.
It has been almost ten days since Guan Bin brought the script back, and Qin Qingxue was waiting for Meng Shi to return to the capital, and he was already going crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave, she would have killed Meng Shi in Shangdu a few days ago.
Meng Shi stood up and took the bag, glanced at Ren Hu, who was sleeping in the next few rows of seats, and sat down again.
Although Wen Tong's matter, with a friend, wanted to live in the countryside for a period of time, he explained it to Brother Nian.
But when I got here, I felt that it was not bad for a few hours.
Or send it to Yaoshan, peace of mind.
I heard my uncle say that the working group of the language protection project has arrived in Yaoshan, and the village has specially invited a group of Yue opera troupes to sing for this purpose.
The young and middle-aged people in the village are studying, working part-time, and the remaining old people and children and the deaf people in the Taoist temple should have not seen a play for almost ten years.
The Deaf Pass is a pass where two mountains meet.
The mountain is in the shade, and the bayberry trees are planted on both sides, and the water in the village is now a mountain spring drawn from it.
At the entrance of the shrine, on the left is the stream that comes out of the mountain, and on the right is the road into the mountain.
The stage is in the view.
Directly opposite the stage is the main hall.
The stage is high, the main hall is high, and the low patio in the middle is a place where people sit.
In my childhood memories, every time I sang operas, a group of people would come outside the audience to sell snacks, wontons, noodles, and fried food.
Meng Shi's favorite is white radish soaked in vinegar, sprinkled with coriander, and inserted with bamboo skewers, which is sour and sweet.
Thinking about it, a thought suddenly popped up, why don't you go to the theater at night and leave tomorrow?
However, the thought of letting Qin Qingxue wait another day might be sharked, dispelled the idea again.
After reading the script and knowing the subject matter, this irascible critic has returned all the yoga meditation classes to the teacher, and now it is all maintained by "the heart is clear and the sky is not shocked", if she tosses her again, it is estimated that she will explode.
Wen Tong looked at Meng Shi and was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but say, "Why are you helping me so much." ”
Meng Shi smiled, "I ......"
Wen Tong interrupted him, "Don't say that 200,000 yuan is bride price, although I'm not smart, I can still see this kind of thing, you don't like me." And add, "At least not the kind of liking between men and women." ”
Meng Shi adjusted his sitting posture, turned sideways to face her, and said sincerely, "You are like my mother." ”
"I ......"
Wen Tong thought about 10,000 possibilities in her heart, but she didn't think that it was this thing that popped out of Meng Shi's mouth.
Meng Shi continued, "You, like my mother, obviously have a warm heart, but you use a thick shell to disguise yourself as tough. ”
Wen Tong lowered his head and took the earphones on his lap into his hand, "Don't say that you know me very well, what do you ......know about women's minds?"
"But you are worse than my mother, Comrade Xia Qin has no love, at least there is family affection, even when I went to Sijiu City, there was my grandmother who felt sorry for her, my uncle took care of her, and my aunt chatted with her from time to time,
You don't have anything, my father uses you as a tool for withdrawals, and the younger brother who has been raising you is not as good as me and you......"
Meng Shi sighed, gently put his hand on Wen Tong's head, Wen Tong froze for a moment, and then heard him whisper, "And you still owe me 200,000 foreign debts, hahaha, it's too miserable, tears,...... Whew......"
Wen Tong closed his eyes and took a deep breath and stomped on the surface of Meng Shi's feet.
This thing is not good at boiling chicken soup for the soul, but it is very good at how to spoil the atmosphere.
Wen Tong put on headphones, and the small bridge inside had a milky voice, but he sang cutely and lovingly, "The oars can't be seen, and there are no sails on the boat, fluttering and drifting to the starry sky......"
She glanced at the goods next to her, and felt that the sentence "to the starry sky" was changed to "to the west sky", and sent this goods to the Buddha to stop it.
……
In the sound of the broadcast that was about to arrive in Yangjiang, Meng Shi got up and woke up Ren Hu.
"Well, have you arrived in River State?"
Ren Hu is too tired, studying is a very tiring thing, not to mention "internship" plus studying.
In order to learn something real from the camera of Lu Chengkang's crew, he really regarded himself as an "animal".
There is a saying in the industry that camera lighting is not separated, but some of them are like magic, people don't talk about it, and it is difficult to figure it out thoroughly just by thinking about it.
Ren Hu started as a lighting assistant, and when he was an apprentice, the on-site master did not teach things, and most of what he could do was manual work such as moving things.
Where to put what lamps and what kind of colored paper, these are all when the master comes, he will secretly write down the master's lamp map, and go back to think about why the lights are turned on like this.
Master didn't stop him when he saw it, but most of the time he couldn't figure it out, and it took a year or two for many lamps to figure out why they did it.
Ren Hu often regrets that he was young and vigorous, couldn't put down his son to serve tea and water, couldn't pull his face and carried gifts to the door, and wasted a lot of time.
So he took Meng Shi's opportunity to study in Lu Chengkang's crew very seriously, and he felt that if he didn't learn something, he would be sorry for Meng Shi.
The person next to Ren Hu got off in Hezhou, and Meng Shi sat down in the empty seat.
"Brother Ren, you and Wen Tong stay in Yaoshan for a while, take your sister-in-law over, Wen Tong has an idea, you can help her take a video, and when you have nothing to do, go to the mountains and seas with your sister-in-law for a walk, just play in the farmhouse and relax."
"Where is this?"
After Ren Hu woke up, he listened to Meng Shi and said a lot, and his hands subconsciously touched the cigarette, wanting to calm down.
"In the car, don't get confused." Meng Shi hurriedly held him down, "You stay in Yaoshan for a while, help me adjust myself, teach him how to use the camera, just fix the long lens of the camera, add the empty shot of the scene, and then go back to the capital to take over the director of the second season." ”
Brother Nian will get married at the beginning of next year, and it's not a problem to always do odd jobs, let him follow Wen Tong.
Meng Shi had a hunch that Wen Tong would come out.
"What can I do!" Ren Hu couldn't sit still.
He just came up with the idea of switching from the light to the camera, and he just touched the door, why did he suddenly let him be a director?!
"Don't talk, listen to me." Meng Shi pressed him back to his seat, "I've drawn all the storyboard scripts in the past few days, you take it with you, just take a look at it, you have been in the crew longer than all the TV series I've watched, I can do it, why can't you?" ”
"In the film and television industry, it can't be compared to ...... like this"
Ren Hu also wanted to say.
"That's it." Meng Shi glared at him, he was honest.
Don't look at his age, according to his seniority and reasonableness, Meng Shi can be regarded as his leader.
And Meng Shi really gave a chance.
When it comes to this, if you refuse again, you won't know how to lift.
Seeing that he had stopped, Meng Shi continued, but the topic was not very serious, "Hehe, there is nothing to do in the village at night, you and your sister-in-law will strive to hold the child next year." ”
Ren Hu got married late, he Chinese New Year's Eve one today, he only got married last year, and he didn't want the child yet, and he received a call from his hometown every three or five days.
Ren Hu couldn't help it, so he nodded helplessly, "It's no problem to teach people photography, don't blame me if you smash it." ”
Meng Shi didn't blink, "You are the director, don't blame you for whom, what, do you still want me to blame you?" ”
“……”
Ren Hu really wants to smoke now, Ju does.
……
"Can you still use the stone mill where you and Liangzai Ah Gong put the TV in the courtyard?"
Wen Tong moved inside, giving up the outside position to Meng Shi.
"Let Brother Nian make a grinding shelf, it should still be usable." Meng Shi sat down and felt the residue of her body temperature, to be honest, there was nothing ambiguous, and it felt quite twisted to sit in someone else's hot position.
Wen Tong snapped his fingers and said, "I thought about it, the book says that there are three hardships in life, supporting the boat, striking iron, and grinding tofu, and I want to start with the hardest things." ”
