"If I hadn't complained to my classmates about this homework, I wouldn't have known that our homework was different?" Xu Lichen angrily scolded, "F * ck, do you know how much more homework the fifth class has than the eighth class?!"
"Not much." Zhang Yansheng was calm. "It's less than the homework my class has. Go and find out more about the first class. The amount of homework they have is enough to crack your worldview. "
Xu Lichen angrily glared at her. "I want to go back to the eighth class when school starts!"
"Sure. Go and tell the teacher … "Zhang Yansheng's mouth twitched, revealing a disdainful sneer." I'm scum, I'm a human feces machine. I don't deserve to stay in the fifth class. I beg you to let me go back to the eighth class. "
For a moment, the video seemed to be stuck on the internet.
"Zhang! Yan! Sheng! " Xu Lichen was about to explode from anger. "Every time you take the initiative to contact me, you either hit me or scold me. Otherwise, you're trying to anger me to death, right? Am I right? "
Zhang Yansheng laughed. "That's not it this time."
Xu Lichen slammed the table. "Speak human language, why are you looking for me?"
He then added, "It's definitely not something good!"
Zhang Yansheng rested his chin on his hand. "It really is something good. Xu Lichen, let me ask you, how much money do you have? "
There were many girls who coveted his money and body, but none of them dared to directly ask him how much money he had.
Xu Lichen: "Huh?"
Zhang Yansheng said, "I have a very good project on hand right now, and I want to ask you to invest in it together."
For a teenager who was still in the "F * ck, why do I have so much homework during the winter break" stage, suddenly telling him that he had a project to ask him to invest in was too big of a change in topic. Xu Lichen was inevitably confused. "Invest in what? Invest in what? "
Zhang Yansheng pointed at his mouth and told him, "Invest … in."
The video froze again. This time, it was focused on the youth's confused and bewildered eyes.
After a long time, Xu Lichen said weakly, "Zhang Yansheng, I feel like you … are like a blind box. Before you open it, you don't even know what you'll get … "
"Don't talk so much. Let's talk face to face. " Zhang Yansheng looked at his watch. At this time, some office workers had just returned home and were having dinner. "Deer Antler Coffee in Riley Square. I'll be there in about 40 minutes. It's something you'll definitely be interested in. You'll regret it if you don't. "
After saying that, she hung up.
"Hey, hey, hey! Eh? Huh? "Xu Lichen stared at his phone screen." F * ck? "
What would he be interested in? Zhang Yansheng knew what he was interested in? Why aren't you regretting it? Where did she get the confidence to think that she knew him well?
Hmph, when I go there later, I must act cold and aloof. When he spoke, he had to raise his chin a little, coldly telling her, "Sorry, I'm not interested in this thing."
…
"The f * ck? The f * ck? The f * ck? What the f * ck? "At the Antler Café in Riley Square, Xu Lichen performed a large-scale" True Fragrance Live "." What is this? What was it? Hey, don't close it. Let me see it again! "
"This is a three-minute demo." Zhang Yansheng closed the player on her laptop, opened her PowerPoint presentation, and skipped to a page. "The movie is called 'Out of the Solar System.' The author of the original novel is Da Yang. Do you know him? "
Unfortunately, at this time, Xu Lichen still didn't know who Da Yang was. Although he liked to watch sci-fi movies and dramas, he wasn't a bad student! Look! Book!
"I don't know!" Xu Lichen said loudly without any shame. He kept asking, "Is this made in China? Is it really made in China? "
"Of course. Didn't you see that the actors are all Chinese?" Zhang Yansheng said helplessly, "Let me put it this way. Da Yang is … known as the best sci-fi writer in China."
"Let me tell you the story of 'Out of the Solar System' …"
An hour later, Xu Lichen slammed the table. "Invest, invest, invest! Tell me how to invest! How much do you want to invest? "
Zhang Yansheng said, "I don't know how much money you have. I just think that this project is good and worth investing in. That's why I wanted to tell you."
"You're loyal. I'll remember that!" Xu Lichen asked, "How much do you plan to invest?"
"I can come up with four million myself." Zhang Yansheng told him, "I'm planning to get six million from my dad and about ten million from my grandmother."
"You're good." Xu Lichen said, "Let me think … I probably have? Five or six hundred? I'll tell my dad that I want to change my motorcycle and ask him to give me another two or three hundred. Then I'll tell my mom the same thing … It shouldn't be a problem to get a thousand. Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? "
Zhang Yansheng's gaze was distant. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Can't you just tell them that you want to invest?"
Xu Lichen couldn't help but laugh. "Who would believe me?"
But this method of asking for money was like a primary school student asking for twenty yuan from his dad and then another twenty yuan from his mom. Then he would have twenty yuan to play games at an internet cafe.
"So even though you're usually very arrogant, you're actually a child in the eyes of your family?" Zhang Yansheng stared at him.
Xu Lichen's smile froze on his face.
"Also," Zhang Yansheng continued, "you actually think of yourself as a child, so you have to use a child's method to do things?"
Xu Lichen felt like his knees had been shot by countless arrows. He felt so weak that he wanted to kneel. He forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? Aren't we only in our first year of high school? If we're not children, then are we adults? "
She really is a child, Zhang Yansheng thought to himself.
Zhang Yansheng couldn't even be sure if she had really grown up when she was twenty-one years old in his previous life. He didn't know if Xu Lichen had grown up when he was overseas.
Zhang Yansheng's fingertips gently stroked the keyboard of his laptop. He felt something he had never felt before.
This matter was suddenly not as simple as just eating the benefits of being reborn.
Zhang Yansheng felt that this matter had a different meaning to her.
She closed her laptop and said, "That's all I want to tell you. Go back and get the money. Let me know when you've done it."
When she stood up, Xu Lichen called out to her. He hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind. "Give me a copy of your PowerPoint!"
Zhang Yansheng looked at him and smiled. "I'll send it to you when we get home."
The next day, Zhang Yansheng packed up and went downstairs. Zhang Huan said, "Hey!"
Zhang Yansheng felt that her father had been acting like a child for the past two days, so she didn't want to talk to him.
"Wow!" Zhang Heling exclaimed, "Sis, you look like an adult today!"
Zhang Yansheng wore formal clothes, put on makeup, and even tied her hair up. At first glance, she didn't look like a student. Only when he looked more closely could he see that she looked young.
Zhang Huan ate breakfast with a smile. After eating, he drove Zhang Yansheng to the headquarters of the Zhang Corporation.
Old Madam Zhang was dressed in a professional suit. She had already made time for Zhang Yansheng and arranged a meeting room for her.
The secretary helped Zhang Yansheng connect her laptop to the projector and then left. Only Old Madam Zhang and Zhang Huan were left in the meeting room.
Zhang Yansheng was very familiar with these two people. One could talk easily and even act coquettishly, while the other was shouting at her. Zhang Yansheng wasn't afraid.
Now, these two people were looking at her with a smile and anticipation. But when Zhang Yansheng slid the mouse over the PowerPoint, she could clearly feel her palms sweating because of nervousness.
She knew that what she was about to do was very important to her.
What she was about to do was to sever the difference between her current self and her previous self.
Zhang Yansheng took a deep breath and double-clicked on the PowerPoint she had prepared.
"If you pay attention to famous foreign sci-fi blockbusters, you'll find a very unique phenomenon," Zhang Yansheng said calmly. "You don't see Chinese people in these blockbusters. It's very interesting. Chinese people, who make up more than 20% of the world's population, don't appear in Western sci-fi movies. This is because Westerners tacitly agree that Chinese people can't appear in Chinese movies. This is because Westerners have a stereotype of Chinese people that they don't like sci-fi. If they appear in a sci-fi movie, it will make the movie awkward. "
"But do Chinese people really not like sci-fi movies? Do Chinese people like to watch sci-fi movies? Do sci-fi movies have a market in China? "Zhang Yansheng pressed the remote control and the PowerPoint flipped to the next page. The first data appeared.
"This is the global box office and China box office of foreign sci-fi blockbusters in recent years. It's not hard to see that China's box office contributed a lot to the success of these blockbusters. "
"Unfortunately, these money-sucking sci-fi movies are all foreign movies. Until now, it can be said that China doesn't have a single sci-fi blockbuster that can be taken out. There isn't a single sci-fi blockbuster that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood. "
"But this isn't a problem with the market. Right now, the total box office in China's domestic market is as high as 30 billion. Who is the biggest winner in the market?"
Zhang Yansheng switched to another page and a new set of data revealed the answer: "— sci-fi!"
"Our market likes sci-fi movies. As long as it's a sci-fi movie of a decent standard, it can complete its mission of earning money from the China market. Even our market's love for sci-fi movies has reached the point of craving for them. So much so that those movies that aren't particularly good or even a little bad, such as this one. The fifth movie in this series can be said to have a very bad reputation overseas, but it still managed to earn 1.5 billion in China's box office! The total box office of the entire series of five movies in China exceeded 6 billion, and they are known as money-sucking monsters. And for an outstanding sci-fi blockbuster, it's impossible to predict how much it will earn in China's box office. "
"From this, it can be seen that sci-fi movies in China have an extremely large and even unfathomable market. And for so long, China hasn't had a single sci-fi blockbuster, which is actually caused by many factors. Policy, culture, technology, etc. "
"But now, these bottlenecks are melting away. In recent years, the SARFT's review system has been constantly in line with international standards. The domestic special effects companies have also reached a level that is comparable to international standards. The factors that stifled domestic sci-fi movies in the past are all fading away. "
"So at this point in time, Director Xie Dong chose 'Out of the Solar System'."
"Why 'Out of the Solar System' and not some other novel? I have to say, if I were Xie Dong, I would also choose 'Out of the Solar System'. "
"Because 'Out of the Solar System' is the classic masterpiece of its author, Da Yang."
"And who is Da Yang?"
"He is known as — — the number one sci-fi writer in China!"
"It can be said that in China, as long as one reads sci-fi, there is no one who doesn't read Da Yang. Da Yang has the largest number of sci-fi readers in China! "
As Zhang Yansheng spoke, the expressions on Grandma Zhang and Zhang Huan's faces gradually disappeared from their faces.
They were gradually attracted by the content of Zhang Yansheng's narration and began to listen attentively.
