For the next period of time, Xiang Nan was still at three points and one line. Classrooms, canteens, rental houses, busy studying and writing.
He now has to repay a loan of more than 20,000 yuan a month, but he really has no time to rest.
And with the continuous serialization of "Douluo Dalu", the popularity of this book is getting higher and higher. After two months of serialization, the total collection exceeded 120,000, with an average of more than 8,000, and the monthly income exceeded 70,000 yuan. This kind of income is quite impressive.
Under his guidance, Zhu Xiaobei also wrote a novella "The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me" and practiced his writing skills.
That article tells the love story of a poor girl who was attracted by a rich man after she was admitted to university. No matter how Xiang Nan looked at it, it seemed like he was writing about her and Xu Kaiyang.
Because this article is based on reality and is relatively real, after it was posted online, it attracted many netizens to follow it. This made Zhu Xiaobei suddenly find confidence.
Then she wrote another novel based on this routine, sent it to Jinjiang, and successfully signed the contract. And it also got a good subscription rate.
In the first month, he received 4,000 yuan in royalties, which made Zhu Xiaobei extremely excited. This much money is enough for her mother to sell many spicy hotpots.
Therefore, she was extremely grateful to Xiang Nan and specially invited him and everyone in the dormitory out for dinner.
…
"Xiao Bei, you just made a little money, so you might as well spend it sparingly." Ruan Guan said sheepishly.
Although Zhu Xiaobei has never talked about her family, it can be seen from her usual dress and consumption habits that her family background is not particularly good. In this case, you really shouldn’t spend the money you make.
"It's okay. I'm confident that I will earn more next month." Zhu Xiaobei said with a smile, "Besides, everyone has taken such good care of me over the past year, so it's only right for me to repay everyone."
She didn't have the conditions to repay everyone before, but now that she has finally made money, she should express her gratitude to everyone.
Hearing what she said, Ruan Guan was embarrassed to refuse anymore.
"Oh, Xiaobei, is photography really so profitable?" Li Weijuan asked curiously, "If that's the case, then I'll give it a try."
"I think it's okay." Zhu Xiaobei smiled.
She was not good at writing originally, but after Xiang Nan's prompting and her little understanding, the second book achieved good results.
Although it is not as popular as Xiang Nan, it is enough for living expenses. In fact, she was thinking of helping her mother rent a real store if she could make a little more money, so as not to be chased around by security guards all the time.
"The most important thing about writing is to be able to endure loneliness." Xiang Nan added with a smile, "Because it must be updated every day. And in order to attract readers, at least four thousand words must be updated a day.
If your typing speed is not fast, it will take at least two hours to write 4,000 words. Two hours a day, 365 days a year, every day, think about whether you have that kind of perseverance.
If not, then I advise you not to write. A waste of energy, a waste of brainpower, a futile effort. "
When Li Weijuan heard this, her expression changed.
She is the least perseverant, even when it comes to dating, she pays attention to speed, and she will change her relationship every one or two months. Now she is asked to code two hours a day for a year, which is really exhausting.
"Okay, let's not mention this." Zhu Xiaobei raised his glass to Xiang Nan and said, "Chen Xiaozheng, thank you for teaching me how to write and for helping me so much. I'll toast you for the first glass, thank you!"
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded and drank a full drink with her. "Xiaobei, I also congratulate you on your graduation so soon. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, write more good works, and make more money."
"Well, thank you." Zhu Xiaobei nodded.
Immediately, the other three beauties from Er Yao San also celebrated with Zhu Xiaobei.
…
Nearly a month later, Zhu Xiaobei's writing about making money was also spread among his classmates. It attracted many voices of envy or jealousy.
Zhu Xiaobei didn't care. She received 6,000 yuan in royalties in the second month, which was more than her mother earned from selling Malatang in half a year. Even many senior brothers and sisters who graduated did not make as much money as she did when they first started working.
Success in her career has made her more tolerant of others, and she will not make a fuss with others just because of an unpleasant sound.
During this month, Li Weijuan also tried to write, but gave up before even completing 20,000 words.
Xiang Nan was not surprised by this. Li Weijuan's mind is too lively and she is not suitable for such a long-term job.
In addition, this month, he also received a call from Xiao Yun, inviting him to draw concept drawings for "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire".
"Classmate Chen, didn't you say that you have a lot of research on ancient architecture, so I'll leave it to you this time." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "If your design is adopted, we can pay you a large commission. ."
"OK, okay." Xiang Nan nodded.
In fact, commission is still a small matter. The most important thing is that the works he designed can be adopted by director Tsui Hark and appear on the big screen. This is an excellent publicity opportunity for him.
You know, for architectural designers, the most important thing is reputation and qualifications.
There are not even 100,000 but 80,000 architectural design students graduating across the country every year. It’s hard to find a good job, let alone compete with seniors who have long been famous.
Therefore, you must become famous and have impressive qualifications in order to stand out from the competition.
Participating in the architectural design of "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" is an excellent opportunity for Xiang Nan.
…
Immediately, Xiang Nan started to get busy.
The Tongtian Pagoda, the underground ghost market, the Wuji Taoist Temple, the Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the grand scene of Chang'an... these buildings gradually appeared on the paper with his strokes.
"Azheng, your paintings are so beautiful!" Zheng Wei couldn't help but sigh when she saw the paintings he had painted.
"Practice hard and practice more, and you will be able to draw as well as me in the future." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Zheng Wei nodded, and then said inferiorly, "Azheng, am I so useless? You and Xiaobei are both so capable, you can make money on your own.
Li Weijuan was promoted to student union officer, and even Ruan Guan got a first-class scholarship, but I was not good at anything and knew nothing. "
"My little Feilong, haven't you always been the boss and me? When did you become so unsure?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "You are only a freshman now. People in the same grade as you, do How many people have achieved great success? Why are you so busy feeling inferior?
Furthermore, no matter what you are like, I will never dislike you. Even if you are a little pig, I will keep you. Do not be afraid. "
"I hate it, you are a little pig." Zheng Wei said angrily, "No matter what, I have to work hard. You cannot be a top student, and I am a scumbag. I have to study hard, I have to work hard, and I have to make myself Only if I am worthy of you."
