Chapter 99 What else should be changed?
On the writers' team, except for a few students who were "assigned", everyone else is not very good at playing football. It's only because of his youth that Yu Dong can keep up with the rhythm.
Su Tong and Yu Hua are die-hard fans of the South American star Maradona, but their playing style is very different from that of the South American players. If I have to say, their way of playing is more like the British rough guys.
After the whole scene, the most excited person was probably Mo Yan.
In the past, when Mo Yan played football with Yu Hua and others, he often played the role of goalkeeper, and was often nicknamed the "goalkeeper brother".
But with Shi Tiesheng present today, he was moved from the goalkeeper position to the forward position, and he was naturally very motivated.
It's just that motivation alone is useless. As a lone forward, he didn't score a single goal in the whole game.
The final score was locked at seven to one, ending with a complete victory for the writers' team.
It is worth mentioning that these eight goals were all scored by the writers' team, and the "one" was an own goal scored by Su Tong.
For this reason, Yu Hua also teased Su Tong: "When it comes to football, you are the best. There are so many young guys on the other side who have no chance to break through Tiesheng's door. You are better, you hit it with one blow."
Su Tong couldn't refute Yu Hua's sarcasm. Even he himself couldn't figure out how the own goal was scored.
After playing football, a few smart students hurriedly ran back to the dormitory. When they came back, they already had various magazines in their hands for Yu Dong and others to help sign.
When it comes to signing, Yu Dong and the others are very good at it. As long as the students come over with pens and magazines, they will help sign their names.
After getting the signed magazines, these students couldn't help feeling that after enduring a game, their work was finally not in vain.
Because Zhang Hong had met Yu Dong and was a student of Hu Yueming, he chatted a little more with Yu Dong.
From Zhang Hong's mouth, Yu Dong learned that he has been quite popular in the Chinese Department recently, and Hu Yueming is always proud to share his works with his fellow students.
Yu Dong originally wanted to visit Hu Yueming when he came back this time, but he had no preparations today, and since he was with Su Tong and the others, it was not easy for him to leave alone.
After leaving Yan Normal University, they originally planned to find a restaurant outside, but Shi Tiesheng warmly invited them to his home for dinner.
Several people couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to follow him.
Shi Tiesheng lived in a bungalow next to the Yonghe Temple, and there was a notice on the door that read "Pray for care, politely refuse".
This was because there were usually a lot of visitors and he had no time to deal with them, so he took this tactic and posted a note rejecting visitors.
However, according to Shi Tiesheng, this note was of little use, as more and more people came to visit every day.
Shi Tiesheng's father and wife were very enthusiastic when they saw the guests coming to their home. He also showed off to Yu Dong and the others, saying that his father's braised pork was unparalleled.
His wife Chen Ximi is ten years younger than him and has a disability in her legs, but she is gentle and sunny.
She was busy and didn't say much, but Shi Tiesheng's eyes were always on her. Yu Dong and the others smiled knowingly. Shi Tiesheng's love for Chen Ximi was not concealed at all.
After dinner at Shi Tiesheng's house, Yu Dong and the four of them sat for a while and then said goodbye together.
After coming out, Yu Hua said goodbye to the three of them.
Looking at Yu Hua's back, Mo Yan said with emotion: "Yu Hua's life has been very difficult recently. I went to see his residence. He and Chen Hong were squeezed into a small room of several square meters."
Su Tong took out a cigarette and handed it to Mo Yan, smiling: "But you also need to know that "Shouting in the Drizzle" was created in this small room of a few square meters."
Mo Yan nodded and thought of himself again: "I haven't settled down in Yanjing yet, so it's my turn to talk to him."
"Don't you live in the army?"
"Who can guarantee that I can live in the army for the rest of my life? Maybe I will have to change my job in two years, and I don't know where I will live by then. It's not easy to live in a permanent place." Mo Yan sighed, and pulled Su with a smile.
Tong's sleeves, "Let's go, I'll go with you tonight."
"No problem." Su Tong smiled.
Mo Yan is still in the army, and it is not convenient to go back to sleep now. He has to live with Su Tong and the others at night. Fortunately, Yu Dong and Su Tong have two rooms, so there will be no situation where three people squeeze into one room.
Yu Dong can understand Mo Yan's squandering of housing. The past two years have been the trough period after Mo Yan became famous, and he didn't receive much royalties before.
When his "Red Sorghum" was adapted, it didn't bring him much copyright income.
At that time, the state stipulated that only 800 yuan in royalties could be paid for the use of literary works in making movies. Later, Mo Yan became the screenwriter for Zhang Yimou, and the state also stipulated that the screenwriter fee could not exceed 4,000. At that time, there were three screenwriters, and Mo Yan only shared
One thousand and two.
So his novel was adapted into a movie and he only made two thousand dollars even though he had to sell it.
…
After returning to the hotel, Yu Dong first sat in Su Tong's room for a while, and then returned to his own room. He was currently revising the manuscript he showed Su Tong before, and he brought it to Yanjing this time because he didn't want to waste time.
.
Less than ten minutes after Yu Dong sat down, he heard someone knocking on his door.
At first he thought it was Su Tong and the others. When he opened the door and saw Cheng Yongxing standing at the door, he showed a surprised expression: "Editor Cheng, why are you here?"
"Why, you are allowed to come but not me?" Cheng Yongxing chuckled and said: "I was also invited to this expo. I had made an appointment with Su Tong on the phone to stay at this hotel. He left a note.
Give it to the front desk, you don’t know?”
Yu Dong shook his head, "I really didn't pay attention."
Now hearing what Cheng Yongxing said, Yu Dong recalled that when he left the hotel to go to Ditan Park in the afternoon, Su Tong did say something to the front desk. As for whether he handed over the note, he really didn't pay attention.
"Don't you want me to come in and sit down?" Cheng Yongxing stood at the door and smiled.
"Oh, I'm sorry, please come inside." Yu Dong quickly stepped aside and asked Cheng Yongxing to come in.
Entering the room, Cheng Yongxing looked around casually. He wasn't looking for anything, but when he saw a stack of manuscripts on the table, his eyes immediately gave off a strange light.
"Do you have a new manuscript recently?"
Yu Dong nodded and said, "I wrote it before and am revising it."
"Can I take a look?" Cheng Yongxing asked, but he had already walked to the table involuntarily.
"Of course there is no problem." Yu Dong said, "I also hope that more people can give me opinions, especially professionals like you, Editor-in-Chief Cheng."
While Yu Dong was talking, Cheng Yongxing had already picked up the manuscript.
As a result, Yu Dong's revision of the manuscript could only be put on hold temporarily. He tidied up the manuscript he was revising, then sat on the bed and waited for Cheng Yongxing to read the manuscript.
Even Cheng Yongxing couldn't read the manuscript of 70,000 to 80,000 words immediately.
After waiting for an hour, Cheng Yongxing put down the manuscript with excitement on his face and said to Dong: "If you want to change anything, it will be published now. You don't have to bother. I will take it back this time and it will be published in the next issue."
