Chapter 708, various thoughts, evaluation(2/2)
Tao Ge asked: "Why is it different?"
Zhang Xuan made a metaphor and said: "If the world is going to be destroyed, and I can only save three people, they must be my mother, Shuang Ling and Mi Jian."
Tao Ge stared at him with dangerous eyes: "Sister, you won't help me either?"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand and answered simply and neatly: "If you don't save me, I don't even plan to save myself, so why should I save you?"
After observing him carefully, this is something Tao Ge has never figured out.
Among these three people, Ruan Xiuqin is better off because she is his mother after all.
But Du Shuangling and Mi Jian?
It would be okay if Wen Hui didn't appear. One is a childhood sweetheart and a real girlfriend; the other is a ceiling in temperament and appearance. There are irreplaceable reasons.
But Tao Ge felt that if he were a man, he would most likely choose Mi Jian and Wen Hui.
She believes that although Du Shuangling is a generous and virtuous woman, it does not mean that Mi Jian and Wenhui cannot do this.
In her opinion, Chacha Mijian and Wenhui are also good family wives, and they are simply men's treasures.
Of course, Tao Ge only thought about these words in his heart and would not say them out loud.
She has always had an intuition that if she hadn't arranged Du Shuangling's arrangement, the man in front of her would definitely draw a line with her.
After being together for so long, Tao Ge can feel the special weight of Du Shuangling and Mi Jian in his heart.
This special weight cannot be replaced by other women.
It was precisely based on this judgment that Tao Ge did not force him to marry him, nor did he use any means to obtain him.
Otherwise, she is attracted to this man, she is tempted, and she will definitely want him. Not to mention exclusive possession, at least she will find a way to get the position in the household registration book.
But just because he realized that he could not replace Du Shuangling and Mi Jian's position, Tao Ge always restrained himself. On weekdays, when he couldn't help himself, he would rather go to the bathroom to solve the problem himself than go to his bed.
Tao Ge asked: "Why?"
Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "I can't tell you."
Seeing how tight-lipped he was, Tao Ge wisely stopped asking questions, put down his hair and got down to business:
"Some time ago, the American ABC TV station found me again, hoping to book the film and television rights for your next series of novels."
Zhang Xuan was delighted, "You haven't given up yet?"
Tao Ge nodded: "Of course. If you are in China, you don't know how popular Game of Thrones is in the United States. ABC TV station is naturally extremely jealous.
Three days ago, HBO TV's finance department checked some accounting details with us. Last quarter, you were able to distribute approximately US$43 million in dividends, and this money will be paid in early January 1997."
Zhang Xuan calculated: "43 million U.S. dollars, which is 4 million U.S. dollars more than last time. Couldn't HBO have exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars in sales this season?"
Tao Ge replied: "It is estimated to be more than 1 billion US dollars, so ABC is jealous."
Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "If ABC TV is willing to wait, let me think about it after I finish working on "The World"."
Tao Ge raised his head: "Do you have an idea?"
Zhang Xuan was pleased with himself: "I am a talented writer, and I am never short of good points."
The two chatted for a while, and then Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu, who had finished their bowls, also came down. The two of them became five people and they talked happily for a long time.
After 7 o'clock in the evening, Editor-in-Chief Hong finished reading the first book. Tao Ge immediately stopped communicating with several people, got up and went to the study.
Zhang Xuan followed him inside, and found that Tao Ge and Editor-in-Chief Hong were busy watching "The World" and ignored him at all, and then walked out lifelessly.
"The Human World" is a long novel with a total of 1.1 million words. It took Chief Editor Hong and Tao Ge five days to read it.
Seeing the two people putting down the last volume, Zhang Xuan asked nervously: "How do you feel?"
Tao Ge was still immersed in the world of the book and did not speak.
Editor-in-Chief Hong took a sip of hot tea and said quietly: "Okay! Good works are rare. This is completely at the level of the Mao Dun Literature Award."
Editor-in-Chief Hong means what he says sincerely.
He was surprised. He did not expect that Zhang Xuan could write traditional literature with such profound and connotative content at such a young age.
After all, "The World" is different from "The Rumor" and "Latent" in terms of subject matter, story and writing techniques. This is a real effort to build hard power.
You must know that in China, traditional culture and this "common people's life" theme have long been mature. In other words, they have been written badly by many writers. Without a profound foundation, it is really difficult to stand out.
It is precisely for this reason that the "rumors" and "lurking" in the past two years have been criticized and criticized by some traditional scholars.
Hearing this comment, Zhang Xuan's heart finally dropped. Although the original work "Human World" itself is a Mao Dun Literature Award-winning work, it has very high attainments.
But I know my own affairs, and the works I write now are far from the original ones, not in terms of level, but in content.
Although they all describe the life history of ordinary people in the context of the big era.
But the original work takes place in the Northeast, and the story unfolds against the background of the "Light Word Film" in the civilian community.
The story of his work takes place in the south of the Yangtze River, using rural towns to describe the great changes in Chinese society and the beautiful qualities of tenacity, hard work, active struggle, and eternal optimism displayed by ordinary people when facing difficulties in life.
