"Liu Feng, you are so awesome, I really envy you!" Xiao Suizi looked at Xiang Nan and said sincerely.
"Don't be envious, just work hard. Sooner or later, your work will be adapted into a film and television drama." Xiang Nan encouraged with a smile.
The prototype of Xiao Suizi is Yan Geling, who wrote many novels such as "Aunt Duohe", "Land Prisoner Yan Shi", "Mei Lanfang", "Tianyu", "Girl Xiaoyu", "A Woman's Epic", etc. His works have all been adapted into film and television dramas, which have aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad.
And this "Youth" is adapted from her original work. Therefore, Xiang Nan is quite confident in Xiao Suizi's growth.
When Xiao Suizi heard what Xiang Nan said, she suddenly laughed happily.
To be honest, she had a little low self-esteem. After all, Xiang Nan's light was so strong that anyone standing next to him would be turned into a shadow.
But now that she received his encouragement, Xiao Suizi suddenly felt that her heart was full of sunshine and hope, which made her laugh sincerely.
Xiao Ma on the side couldn't help but shook his head when he saw his daughter's appearance.
"By the way, how is your homework review going?" Xiang Nan asked with concern, "How confident are you for the college entrance examination?"
"I think my review is okay." Xiao Suizi nodded and said, "But I fell behind too much on some homework, and it is really difficult to study. Liu Feng, if you can, can you help me make up for it?"
"Of course it's no problem. Let's do this. After dinner, you come to the dormitory to find me." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Okay." Xiao Suizi agreed.
The art troupe rarely has performances now, and rehearsals during the day are enough. So she had free time at night, and she happened to go to Xiang Nan to make up lessons.
"Hey, Comrade Liu Feng, let me make a suggestion. Don't blame me for talking too much." Xiao Ma waved his hands quickly after hearing this, "Lonely widowed women, it's better not to go to the dormitory. What I know is that you are making up for classes. What you don't know will definitely cause chaos. explain."
"Uncle makes sense, but I didn't think it through." Xiang Nan nodded, "Let's do this. I'll give you extra lessons in the creative room later, and you can call the other team members who are interested in the college entrance examination."
Xiao Suizi nodded disappointedly when he heard this.
…
Qi Bin and Xiao Ma stayed in Tianfu for two days and then returned to Yanjing.
After they left, Xiang Nan began to change "Garland Under the Mountain" and "The Wrangler" into scripts.
Fortunately, he had seen these two movies before coming here, so it was not difficult for him to rewrite the script.
He wrote scripts during the day and gave Xiao Suizi tutoring lessons in the creative room at night.
He originally thought that there would be many people willing to come to make up lessons, but he didn't expect that only Xiao Suizi came.
The other team members were busy watching movies, playing poker, and dating, and had no sense of crisis at all, which made Xiang Nan sigh.
"Forget it, let them come or not. Suizi, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." He then said to Suizi.
"Liu Feng, I'm pretty good at Chinese, politics, history, and geography, but English and mathematics are more difficult to master," Xiao Suizi said.
In 1977, when the college entrance examination was just resumed, English was not required. Only those who apply for the Department of Foreign Languages will have additional exams. In 1978, English was added as a subject, but it was not included in the total score.
In 1979, for those who apply for key colleges and universities, English will be counted as 10% of the total score. Most colleges only give reference points. In the 1980s, English accounted for 30% of the calculation, and all college admissions needed to be included in the total score.
It can be seen that English accounts for an increasing proportion of the total score. If you are not good at this subject, you will miss dozens of points. On the contrary, if this subject is strong, you can get dozens more points.
Xiao Suizi had never learned a foreign language before. In the past two years, with the popularity of going abroad, she bought some English textbooks, but because she had no foundation, she learned very slowly.
"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you." Xiang Nan nodded, he was good at these two subjects.
Later, he began to teach Xiao Suizi English and mathematics.
He taught all the spelling, grammar and sentence structure of English.
"Liu Feng, you speak English really well, even better than the announcer on the radio." Xiao Suizi said in surprise.
Xiang Nan is so versatile. The longer you stay in contact with him, the more you can feel his charm, which is really attractive.
"It's just so so." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Actually, learning English is very simple. Just watch more, read more, listen more, and memorize more. If you can memorize this textbook, I think there will be no problem in the college entrance examination."
"Yeah." Xiao Suizi nodded.
…
Every day from now on, Xiao Suizi can be seen taking out an English book to memorize in her free time. He simply couldn't let go of the scroll, he forgot to eat and sleep, and he looked like a madman.
Seeing her demented look, many people found it ridiculous. But Xiang Nan knows that time will tell everything.
When the art troupe disbanded and most people felt that the sky was falling, Xiao Suizi could happily go to school in the capital with her university admission notice.
Only then will they know who the real clown is.
…
In April, Xiang Nan mailed the scripts of "The Wrangler" and "Wreath Under the Mountain" to Beijing Film Studio. Moreover, he wrote "The Years of Burning Passion" and sent it to the "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" magazine.
Two weeks later, he received registered letters from Beijing Film Studio and the magazine.
Beijing Film Studio is very satisfied with the two scripts written by Xiang Nan and said that the two films will be put into preparation immediately. Once casting begins, Xiang Nan must be notified as soon as possible to come for the audition.
The magazine was also very satisfied with Xiang Nan's manuscript and planned to serialize this 300,000-word novel in "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art".
The two registered letters also contained a remittance slip. Among them, Beijing Film Studio sent 1,346 yuan to Xiang Nan, which was the adaptation fee and script fee for "The Wrangler" and "Wreath Under the Mountain".
"People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" sent Xiang Nan 2,426 yuan as the royalties for "The Passionate Years".
Adding in the royalties earned by Xiang Nan last year for "Garlands Under the Mountains", "Spirit and Flesh", "Triumph at Midnight", etc., his total income now has reached 70,000 yuan.
In the 1980s, this amount of money was definitely considered a huge sum of money. This also made Xiang Nan run to the cultural relics store more frequently.
In addition, in the early 1980s, when the Shenhou stamps were launched, Xiang Nan went to all the post offices in Tianfu and bought nearly a hundred editions in one go. If these monkey tickets alone are kept for 20 to 30 years, they can be sold for 200 to 300 million yuan.
…
In July, Xiao Suizi took the college entrance examination this year.
Before 2003, the college entrance examination was held in July. After 2003, one month ahead of time, it was June.
According to Xiao Suizi herself, she did pretty well in the exam.
