In the end, Jiang Yulou only gave Yingda some advice on the role, but in the end, it was up to Yingda to decide who to choose and who to play.
On the way back, Wei Guoping seemed to be stupid, smiling sometimes and frowning again. Even after returning to the dormitory, he still didn't become normal.
Xu poked Jiang Yulou forward and asked, "Yulou, what's wrong with this kid? Is he crazy or stupid?"
"He's crazy, and he's about to die. Burn paper if you have something to do." Jiang Yulou sighed.
Yu Min started working suddenly and said worriedly for Wei Guoping: "Huh? No way, it's so serious?"
"What, what are you talking about? Where have I gone crazy?" Wei Guoping came back to his senses and retorted: "I am happy, let me tell you..."
He told everything that happened after taking Jiang Yulou to the drama club today, and emphasized that Jiang Yulou recommended him to play key roles in two scripts.
Xu Xiangdong said sourly: "Look at his arrogance, he is a villain."
"Hehe." Yu Min just smiled and did not agree.
"What, envy? If you are envious, you can also join our drama club." Wei Guoping laughed.
Xu Xiangdong curled his lips and said, "Tsk, it's just a character. I don't care."
Wei Guoping knew that he was envious and wanted this feeling.
Thanks to Yulou!
If Yulou hadn't been the author of the script, he, a pure newcomer in the drama club, wouldn't have been the protagonist.
Jiang Yulou smiled and shook his head. He was not afraid that their relationship would become tense, because several people in the dormitory had always been like this, and he was used to it.
Time passed, and another week passed, and good news came out of the literary world, that is, writers' remuneration has increased.
Last year, the State Publishing Administration restored the remuneration system, stipulating that the remuneration system is 2 to 7 yuan per 1,000 words for manuscripts and 1 to 5 yuan for every 1,000 words for translations.
This year, the State Publishing Administration has slightly increased the basic royalties, ranging from 3 to 10 yuan per 1,000 words for manuscripts and 2 to 7 yuan per 1,000 words for translations.
In the past two years, due to the policy restoration, the standards for author remuneration have changed greatly. Jiang Yulou was lucky enough to be the first to take advantage of the remuneration changes at the beginning of this year.
The Contemporary Literary Society has decided that his novel The Conspiracy will be published in the first issue of the magazine in 1980. The reason why I chose the first period is to get off to a good start.
"Contemporary" was a quarterly magazine when it was first published. The first issue was published in 1979. Jiang Yulou's first published work was published in the first issue of "Contemporary". After the magazine was launched, it was warmly welcomed by readers. Seventy thousand copies of the first issue were printed and distributed to bookstores, where they quickly sold out.
The second issue was printed to 100,000 copies and sold out quickly again.
Seeing that bookstore sales could not meet the growing subscription demand of readers, the publisher decided at the end of 1979 to switch to post office distribution from 1980. The publisher believed that the post office would be the distribution channel for "Contemporary". The volume will further increase.
If Jiang Yulou's new work "The Conspiracy" is the finale, maybe everyone will be surprised by the number of copies released.
Therefore, after some estimates, the first printing volume of the first issue of "Contemporary" in 1980 was set at 150,000 copies.
Then, Jiang Yulou received a remittance order from Dangdai.
He flicked the remittance slip with his fingers, grinned and said, "A total of six thousand yuan, not bad."
The reason why there are so many royalties is thanks to the change of the royalties system. The basic royalties are calculated based on the standard of 10 yuan per thousand words. In addition to the first printing of 150,000 copies, we have so much money.
Including this royalties, his savings have exceeded 20,000.
Although this money would earn interest if not spent in the bank, it would not be able to support the rapid development of the country's economy. Soon, his ten thousand yuan household would be worthless.
It is better to exchange the money for a house before the value depreciates.
Needless to say, adults all know how valuable a house in Yanjing will be in the future.
Now that he has more than 20,000 yuan, he can buy a courtyard house, which will last for ten thousand yuan without breaking his bones. Thinking of this, he was instantly tempted.
However, as a student, he still needed to find someone to buy a house and settle down in Yanjing.
Fortunately, he has been in Yanjing for a few months and has met a lot of people.
Especially the big brother in the Beijing circle, the connections are frightening. Since there is such a relationship, it is useless if you don’t use it.
Moreover, isn't there a handy tool man beside him?
Jiang Yulou raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely.
afternoon.
After Wei Guoping heard that Jiang Yulou wanted to buy a house, he exclaimed: "What, Yulou, you want to buy a house in Yanjing?"
His roaring voice was quite loud, and both Xu Xiangdong and Yu Min noticed it.
They looked at Jiang Yulou with surprise, envy, and curiosity. Speaking of which, his royalties are quite high, which is definitely enough to buy a house in Yanjing.
I'm so envious. I was able to buy a house in the imperial capital of Yanjing during my college years. None of them can compare with me.
"It's so new. I can't settle down in Yanjing? Or are the local houses in Yanjing not sold to us outsiders?" Jiang Yulou glanced at him and said dissatisfied.
Wei Guoping's voice suddenly dropped a few decibels. Now Jiang Yulou was related to whether he could play the leading role in the drama club, so he must not offend him.
Thinking of this, he quickly smiled and said: "How can this be possible? I'm just a little surprised."
After a pause, he asked: "Yulou, which building in the community do you like?"
"Who said I want to buy a building?" Jiang Yulou asked strangely.
"If you don't want to buy a building, why don't you buy a courtyard house?" Wei Guoping said in surprise: "No, do you really want to buy a courtyard house?"
He was afraid that Jiang Yulou would not understand, so he quickly advised: "Yulou, the courtyard is not good. There are many people living in it, it is very messy, and it is inconvenient. It is better to buy a building and live comfortably. It also has water, electricity, and heating."
Jiang Yulou asked strangely: "A lot of people? I am alone in the hospital. From now on, I will bring my family over to live at most. I am afraid of the crowd."
"It's the neighbor...huh?" Wei Guoping suddenly stopped talking. After he realized what he was doing, he stammered and asked: "Yulou, don't you want to buy a house with a single door and a courtyard?"
"That's right. Why should I buy a courtyard house? Do you like the market and excitement?"
The three people in the dormitory immediately cast envious glances at him. They were single-family households. They were confident that they could afford it in the future, but who told them to still go to school now.
As a result, a friend in the dormitory suddenly wanted to buy his own house, which was a single-family courtyard house. This was too advanced.
Yu Min didn't know the housing prices in Yanjing and couldn't express his opinion.
Xu Xiangdong was filled with envy and jealousy, but had no intention of talking about it.
So Wei Guoping could only advise dryly: "Yulou, let's not talk about the price of the house. Even if you can afford it, you still have to see if there is a suitable house."
"So I asked you for help?" Jiang Yulou looked at him matter-of-factly.
Wei Guoping: "..."
