Chapter 445 446 [Three years in a hurry]
During the three years of postgraduate study, Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Ruan Guan, and Zhu Xiaobei lived a fulfilling and busy life.
Learning knowledge, doing design, working on projects, writing papers, these are already a lot of homework. What's more, Xiang Nan and Zhu Xiaobei still have novels to write, which adds to the burden.
Fortunately, they are still young and able to bear it. If you continue to do this after you're thirty, you won't be able to hold on.
During these three years, Xiang Nan has achieved a lot.
Academically, he has passed the exam with high marks for three consecutive years, with excellent grades. Moreover, his design also won the domestic excellent architectural design award. His research topic [Research on Cost Control of Real Estate Development Projects] was highly praised by his supervisor.
In terms of career, "Fights Break Sphere" will be finished after two years of serialization. During the serialization period, it was collected by 3 million, with 280,000 subscriptions, ranking first in the list of fantasy novels, and brought tens of millions of huge royalties to Xiang Nan.
After "Fights Break the Sphere" was finished, Xiang Nan serialized "Once upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain", which was also very popular.
In terms of physical novels, "River God 2", "Vulcan", "God of Calamity", and "God of Wealth" have also been launched one after another, plus a series of Chinese novels such as "Shameful Iron Fist", "Riding the Wind and Waves", "Hot Pot Heroes" and so on. novel...
Xiang Nan’s annual text output exceeds 3 million, and he writes an average of 9,000 words a day, which can be said to be quite high. And these words also brought him huge income.
The publishing royalties alone are more than 50 million RMB. And that's just a fraction of the income.
Film and television adaptation rights are the most profitable way for Xiang Nan.
In 2011, "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" was released, with a box office of 560 million, which once again affirmed Xiang Nan's script. And "Carrying Love Through to the End", which was released in the same year, revitalized the youth love movie market, causing the price of IP in Xiang Nan's hands to skyrocket.
In 2012, "Twelve Zodiac", "Lost in Thailand", "Di Renjie's Dragon King", "Chinese Partner", "Yanjing Meets Seattle", "Thirty-Three Days of Broken Love" ", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...
Films adapted from Xiang Nan's novels have repeatedly topped the annual box office charts, almost dominating the charts. This also makes the price of IP in his hands higher and higher.
Even the previously unfavored "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Young You", "Flying Life", "The Climber", "Wuwen Xidong" and so on, now the price has risen to more than 10 million.
In the film and television industry, Xiang Nan's status can even be compared with Gao Mantang, Zou Jingzhi, and Zhou Meisen. Hai Yan et al. It can be said to be quite awesome!
…
In terms of love, Xiang Nan and Zheng Wei also get along very well.
And not only the two of them have deep affection, the relationship between Zheng Wei and Chen Xiaozheng's mother has also made progress.
For three consecutive years, Xiang Nan took Zheng Wei home.
Because the son is really promising now, the mother's face is more happy.
Although the furniture in the house has not been changed, a lot of home appliances have been added.
Air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, TV... Basically everything you need.
Actually, Xiang Nan proposed many times that he wanted to invite his mother to live in Hujiang. In this way, we are close, but fortunately there is a caretaker. But she just wouldn't listen.
"Back then, your father and I lived here, and your father's bones were also buried here. So I want to stay with him." Mother explained.
Xiang Nan heard what she said, so he had to forget it.
However, in order to ensure her well-being, he paid an hourly worker to come over every day to help her buy vegetables, cook, and talk. In case she is at home alone, no one will know when she is sick.
…
Zheng Wei is twenty-five years old after three years of postgraduate study, not the eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl when she first entered college. Therefore, there have been obvious changes in speech, manners, and dress.
The most obvious example is that she always liked to wear bright colors such as red, yellow, and pink before, but now she has replaced them with relatively low-key colors such as black, gray, white, light green, and light blue.
And the cute bob hair before has been replaced with wavy long hair, which makes her look charming and mature. Of course her studies are also good, and her research direction is interior architectural design.
Xiang Nan owns dozens of houses, all of which are designed by her, and most of them have been rented out now. The tenants responded well, and they all thought the decoration was very innovative.
Ruan Guan has been a graduate student for three years, but he is still lonely and has never found a boyfriend.
However, her suitors have never stopped. Graduate students from the same department, fellow students who are still in university, and even teaching assistants and associate professors all came to pursue her.
But Ruan Wan was never tempted.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Kai, who has graduated, still visits her at school every now and then.
Although he always pretended to pass by every time, in the name of looking at Zheng Wei and Xiang Nan, but in fact, his thoughts on Ruan Wan have long been clearly revealed.
"Open it, you can just chase it directly. Why are you still hiding it like this, when we are all blind and can't see it?" Zheng smiled.
"Oh, stop making trouble." Zhang Kai listened, waved his hands and said, "What is my identity, what is Ruan Wan's identity. As a real estate agency, I earn thousands of dollars a month. It is difficult to support myself. How can I have the strength? To chase someone?
Even if I catch her, so what, I have the heart to let her live in a group rented house with me, eat bento for a few yuan, even reluctant to take a taxi, do you squeeze the bus and subway to go to work? "
"Your qualifications are a little short, but you have enthusiasm." Zheng Wei persuaded, "Ruan Ruan is not a person who covets wealth and honor, and cares about gains and losses."
"She doesn't have to care, but I'm a man, so I have to care." Zhang Kai said with red eyes, "I am a person who is not successful in my career and has no lower limit to my grades. I am ugly but I control my appearance, and I am self-willed when I have no money. How can I deserve it?" On Ruan Wan?!
I am only worthy of watching her from the sidelines. As long as she can be happy, I will be satisfied. "
"Open, you..." Hearing what he said, Zheng Wei was both moved and sad.
…
Zhu Xiaobei has been a graduate student for three years, and he also hasn't fallen in love.
According to her own statement, those classmates all regard her as a buddy, and no one is willing to chase her.
But in fact, Xiang Nan knew that she was not happy.
In her heart, she should still be thinking about Xu Kaiyang, who disappeared after graduation.
It's just that she should belong to unrequited love.
Even if she guarded Xu Kaiyang for the rest of her life, Xu Kaiyang might not know her thoughts.
Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't love her. After all, for Xu Kaiyang, what he can't get is the best.
Zheng Wei has always been a thorn in his heart.
However, Zhu Xiaobei is frustrated in love and successful in career.
Her research topic [Research on the Protection and Utilization of Historic Buildings] was highly praised by her supervisor.
Moreover, she wrote the novel "Secretly Like You", and even sold the film and television adaptation rights, which allowed her to make a small fortune. As a result, she was able to successfully buy a house in Hujiang, which is quite good.
