In June, Xiang Nan mailed thirty architectural concept drawings of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" to the film studio.
"Classmate Chen, I didn't expect you to be really talented. Director Xu was very satisfied after seeing the concept map you drew." A week later, Xiao Yun called Xiang Nandao.
"Really? Then thank Director Xu for me." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am very happy that my humble work can satisfy him. It is really a great honor for me."
"Yes. Ordinarily, a young man like you, with limited knowledge and shallow qualifications, can only do so much good design. So, we actually made two preparations." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"We not only invited you to draw concept drawings, but also invited professional architectural designers to draw them. However, you are really extraordinary. Many of your works are better than experts. Twenty-two of the thirty concept drawings Selected. Congratulations, classmate Chen."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's get down to business. We are going to pay you five thousand yuan for each concept drawing. You don't have any objections, right?" Xiao Yun said again.
"Sister, for a movie with such a big investment, you only pay 5,000 yuan, that's too stingy." Xiang Nan smiled, "Although I don't understand the rules of the film industry, my teacher helps people draw architectural designs. Picture, the fees start at least seven digits."
"What you drew is just a concept drawing, not a complete design." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Five thousand yuan is a lot, little brother, don't be so greedy."
"Greed is the driving force behind human progress. I am so young, at the age when my ambition is strongest." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Well, I don't want more. Twenty thousand yuan per ticket is not in vain. cell."
"Ten thousand yuan at most." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Little brother, after all, you are a nobody now, so the price cannot be compared with that of your teacher."
"Okay, I'll give you face, ten thousand for ten thousand." Xiang Nan nodded, "You can come to me if you have such a job in the future."
"OK." Xiao Yun nodded.
…
Xiang Nan later received a remittance order of 220,000 yuan and a contract from the crew of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven".
According to the contract, his name will appear in the film's credits, and his position is architectural design consultant. This is what Xiang Nan needs most.
After receiving this remuneration, Xiang Nan did not buy another house.
He planned to get his driver's license during the summer vacation and then spend money to buy a good car.
That way, he can drive to and from school, and when he has time, he can also take Zheng Wei out to play.
That's much more convenient than taking a bus or taking a taxi.
The most important thing is that Xu Kaiyang often drives around the school in a broken car because of his family's wealth, attracting the attention of many girls.
Xiang Nan didn't want him to be arrogant alone.
…
Entering June, it’s exam season again.
While Xiang Nan was reviewing his own homework, he also had to help Zheng Wei, a poor student, with extra lessons.
Although Zheng Wei proposed to work hard and forge ahead to become a woman worthy of him, she still had too much homework before, so she had to study hard for this exam, otherwise she would still run the risk of failing the exam.
"Oh, if I had studied hard before, I wouldn't have fallen behind so much in my homework." Zheng Wei regretted, "Xiao Bei is still writing a book, and his homework is better than mine."
"Okay, don't be discouraged. It's good that you can realize this." Xiang Nan comforted, "Most people spend four years in college in a state of confusion, and they don't wake up until they graduate and find a job."
Of course he wasn't smart enough when he was in college. He couldn't say that he was just dawdling around every day. At least he didn't study hard. After graduation, I realized how far behind I was.
Those students who study well will be hired by big companies once their transcripts are shown. And he went through the talent market, but in the end he could only join a small company.
Large companies have high wages, complete systems, good benefits, and huge room for promotion. Small companies have low wages, poor systems, poor benefits, and little promotion potential.
After working for two years, those students who entered large companies generally received promotions and their salaries increased significantly. For people like Xiang Nan who join small companies, let alone promotions and salary increases, some companies even go bankrupt.
"It's not too late for you to know how to study hard now. You are only a freshman now, so you can still make up for the homework you missed." Xiang Nan smiled again, "I will also help you."
"Yeah." Zheng Wei nodded.
…
Finally, with Xiang Nan's help, Zheng Wei passed the exam season safely.
After the exam, it’s time for vacation.
"Azheng, I don't want to go home." Zheng Wei said reluctantly.
She is now in love with Xiang Nanlang, and they are inseparable, and they don't want to be separated for a moment.
"Anyway, I haven't been home for half a year, so I should go home and have a look." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Stay at home with dad and mom for a few days, and come back when you get bored."
He was also planning to go home and stay with his mother for a few days, and then return to Hujiang.
To be honest, Chen Xiaozheng's mother is too surly in character, and I feel depressed after staying with her for a long time.
Moreover, he can only read books at home and can't do anything else. But he is still serializing it. If it is not updated for two months, all book lovers will disappear.
"Yeah." Zheng Wei heard what he said and nodded with a smile.
…
On the day of the holiday, Xiang Nan sent Zheng Wei to the station. After watching her train start, she took the bus back home.
"Azheng, you're back." His mother was still very happy to see him.
"Yes, Mom." Xiang Nan nodded and looked at his home. It was still as old and simple as before.
It seems that my mother didn’t spend any of the 80,000 yuan he brought during the Chinese New Year.
"Mom, even if you live alone, you don't have to live so simply. Change the furniture when it's time to change it, and put away the appliances when they need to be replaced." Xiang Nan advised.
"It's okay. I live by myself. Why do you do it so fancy? As long as you can live in it." Mother waved her hand and said, "Azheng, are you okay with your homework? You didn't mess around again, did you?"
"Of course not, Mom, I listened to you and studied very hard." Xiang Nan nodded, "Look, this is the certificate of the national first-class scholarship awarded to me by the school for my excellent test scores last semester."
"Okay, okay." Mother rubbed the big red book and nodded with a smile. "Azheng, you are indeed a good boy and you did not disappoint mother."
"Yes, I will never disappoint you." Xiang Nan smiled, "By the way, Mom, I will only stay for a few days when I come back this time. Because my teacher helped me find an internship job in a construction company. Assistant. Just work for two months during the summer vacation. Not only will you get a salary, but you can also learn knowledge."
"Yeah, that's great." Mother nodded, "Azheng, then you have to work hard and don't let others look down upon you, let alone let your teacher down."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.
