"Really?! That's great!" Chen Ke was overjoyed when he saw Xiang Nan actually agreed.
"Azheng, did you really agree?!" Zhang Zhang looked at Xiang Nan in astonishment. Xiang Nan's move was beyond his expectation.
"It's just a performance at the welcome party, it's not a big deal." Xiang Nan said calmly.
When he was in college, he was basically a transparent person for four years. I have never done anything surprising in school, in departments, in classes, or even in dormitories.
Now that he is resuming his college life, he hopes to have a good time and become the most dazzling kid in the school!
"Then what talents do you have and what do you want to perform?" Chen Ke asked again.
Xiang Nan noticed that there was a guitar in the dormitory, which was used to pick up girls.
He originally wanted to learn how to go downstairs to the girls' dormitory, pretend to be a street singer, play and sing, and hook up with inexperienced girls.
But he was only half-assed at learning everything, and before he could learn it, the guitar was left to gather dust.
"I'll just play the guitar and sing." Xiang Nan pointed at the guitar and said, "Open it and let me use it, okay?"
"Okay, of course, you can use it whatever you want." Zhang Zhang nodded quickly, and then asked curiously, "But, Azheng, when did you learn to play the guitar?"
When he was learning guitar last semester, Xiang Nanke never expressed his opinion, so he probably wouldn't.
Xiang Nan smiled.
Chen Xiaozheng naturally can't play the guitar. Their family was very poor and there was no way for him to learn a musical instrument. However, Xiang Nan inherited Fang Houer's acting skills, so playing guitar is relatively easy for him.
…
Xiang Nan immediately took the guitar and gently plucked the strings.
To be honest, this guitar is just an ordinary thing that costs a few hundred yuan. The workmanship, sound quality, intonation, timbre, and feel are all quite rough. However, performing at the orientation party was enough.
Xiang Nan then played and sang to himself, "Nothing can stop your yearning for freedom..."
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Xiang Nan's skill and strength in playing and singing immediately shocked both Zhang Kai and Chen Ke.
The guitar is played so well and the song is sung so well. Coupled with Xiang Nan's handsome face, he is guaranteed to be shocked when he gets on stage.
"Great! Chen Xiaozheng, you really don't show your face." Chen Ke applauded, "This way, we have an agreement. You must attend the New Year's Eve party, and you must not let me go."
"Okay. A gentleman's words are followed by a whip." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Azheng, you are awesome. You play the guitar so well and sing so well. How come I haven't seen you exposed before?" Zhang Zhangye said with a surprised look on his face.
He also prides himself on being versatile, but compared to Xiang Nan, he seems to be a bit behind.
"What's there to show off? There are a lot of people who can play the guitar and sing in the school." Xiang Nan waved his hand and opened the guitar back, then took out a few books and continued studying on his own.
"Hey~" Seeing what he said, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but smile, "After all, it's Chen Xiaozheng, and he talks like a bully!"
…
After Xiang Nan submitted "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" to "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts Edition", he did not wait for a reply. He was also worried that if the manuscript did not meet people's expectations, it would be troublesome if it was rejected.
Therefore, he wrote another "Xiu Chun Dao" in the past few days.
"Xiu Chun Dao" is a movie produced in 2014. It tells the story of three Jinyi guards who were ordered to hunt down Wei Zhongxian during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty, and were eventually involved in a palace conspiracy.
This movie combines various elements such as martial arts, politics, history, suspense, and love. The story is suspenseful and the characters are detailed and vivid. Therefore, it has gained a very good reputation and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture.
Xiang Nan was thinking that this "Xiu Chun Dao" should be based on the taste of "Legend of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts Edition". If that doesn't work, he can only write articles for "Sprout", "Reader", "Youth Digest" and the like in a sour manner.
…
On this day, Xiang Nan was studying with Zeng Yu in the library.
Xiang Nan knew that Zeng Yu had a crush on him, but he actually didn't want to offend him.
After all, since you can't make any promises to others, why should you leave a glimmer of hope for others.
But no matter how he avoided Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu could find him accurately, which made Xiang Nan feel helpless.
"Azheng, I heard that you are going to perform at the welcome party?" Zeng Yu asked with a smile.
"Yes, you are really well informed." Xiang Nan nodded.
"It just so happens that I also have a performance, a solo dance." Zeng Yu said with a smile, "If you have time, come to the dance studio and I will dance for you. You can also give me some advice..."
"I..." Xiang Nan was about to decline, but at this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He quickly smiled apologetically at Zeng Yu, and then hurried out of the reading room with his cell phone.
"Hello!" Xiang Nan then answered the phone.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Xiaozheng Chen?" A sweet-sounding female voice said on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, it's me. Who are you?" Xiang Nan responded.
"I am the editor of the magazine "Modern and Ancient Wonders", and my name is Liu Yuhan." The woman introduced herself, "Mr. Chen, after our review, we found your manuscript to be very good, so we are going to serialize it in our magazine."
"Really, that's great, thank you." Xiang Nan said happily after hearing this.
"You're welcome, we want to thank you for your submission." Liu Yuhan said with a smile, "We think your writing is very good, so we are going to set a price of 80 yuan per thousand words for you. What do you think?"
"Eighty yuan for a thousand words?!" Xiang Nan was stunned.
At 80 yuan per thousand words, it’s pretty good. He writes online for only ten yuan per thousand words.
"This price is pretty good for newcomers." Liu Yuhan thought Xiang Nan was too little and quickly explained.
"Uh... Okay." Xiang Nan pretended to hesitate, but in fact he was quite happy.
"Okay, then let me check with you about your address, East China University of Architecture and Architecture in Hujiang City..." Liu Yuhan said immediately.
Although bank card transfers have become very popular in 2006, magazines still mostly use remittance orders to distribute manuscript fees.
Firstly, this form is less prone to errors, and it is easier for accounting to report; secondly, bank transfers are still risky, and if the wrong transfer is accidentally made, it will be difficult to recover.
Xiang Nan then confirmed the address with her.
"Very good, we will send your royalties at the end of the month. Please withdraw the money as soon as possible after receiving the remittance slip." Liu Yuhan added, "We also hope that you can write new works and continue to cooperate with us. "
"Definitely." Xiang Nan nodded.
It's already mid-September, and there are only about ten days until the end of the month, so we can still wait.
