Chapter 54: I want to change my major
If it were in the past, Jiang Feng's first reaction to Xu Jinglei's provocative actions would have been to run away.

I can't afford to offend you, but I can just hide from you, right?!

But now, it’s all just one word: “do it”.

If you dare to kiss me in front of so many students, I will kiss you back. If it doesn’t work, then let’s do it wet. As for my girlfriend Yan Danchen, she is watching beside me...

It doesn't matter. This is very easy to deal with. Classmate Yan Danchen, you have also seen that this is a teaching requirement. I am just demonstrating to the students in our class. In a sense, my mouth, at this moment, is actually just a teaching tool!

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng stood up from the chair with a calm expression, then walked to the writing board and stood there.

Seeing his expression, Xu Jinglei was obviously stunned. She glanced at Yan Danchen who was sitting on the other side. She suddenly felt a little confused. Your girlfriend is sitting here. Are you sure you want to demonstrate the kissing scene with me? Shouldn't you be a little smart and avoid this live teaching?

But in an instant, Xu Jinglei looked at Jiang Feng with eyes full of admiration.

This is what a man should be like. Faced with difficulties, just stand up to them!

After a moment of hesitation and a slight smile, Xu Jinglei came to Jiang Feng and turned to the other students in the class and said:

"Students, I don't think I need to explain the significance of kissing scenes in dramas and film and television dramas. From this moment on, I will introduce to you the shooting methods of kissing scenes in film and television dramas.

Regarding the method of shooting kissing scenes, Huang Xiaoming just mentioned that there are three types: fake kiss, real kiss, and substitute kiss.

Fake kiss, this is the most common shooting method, it is to create a visual kissing effect through specific technical means, such as using hair to cover, misaligned shooting, using props such as plastic wrap or chewing gum, without the actors actually kissing..."

Class at Beijing Film Academy
Basically, the classes are large, lasting one and a half hours each. The reason for this is that the most important thing to avoid when taking acting classes is time fragmentation.

Here, the students were just getting into the mood for their performance when the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

The class time is long, so it is inevitable that students will have emotions. Why don’t we have a break yet? Why isn’t it time for a break yet? I can’t hold it in any longer.

But today, I was having class in classroom 325, even though I had already attended two consecutive classes.

The atmosphere was still lively, with cheers and applause coming one after another. When students from the Department of Literature and the Department of Photography who were taking classes in the surrounding classrooms heard the noise, they even ran out of their classrooms and came to 325 to take a look.

What's wrong?What's wrong?
Could it be that these students from the 96 undergraduate class of the Department of Acting are collectively in horny mood?

And when they run over and take a quick look, they immediately say, "What the hell!"

Not only were the students collectively aroused, but the new teaching assistant also took advantage of her position to kiss Jiang Feng, the most handsome boy in the Film Academy. While kissing, she explained to everyone the techniques and feelings of kissing, and then asked a dozen students in the class to work in pairs to experience it for themselves.

This... Is there any justice in this world? Why can't I be a student of the acting department?!
No, I want to change my major.

……

"how do you feel?"

The get out of class was over at 11:50. Jiang Feng came out of the classroom and walked towards the cafeteria. Yan Danchen stared at Jiang Feng with a half-smile.

“It tastes like wax.”

Faced with his girlfriend's questioning, Jiang Feng knew what she was asking and gave an answer instantly.

"Tsk, how hypocritical! When you and Teacher Xu were standing on the podium demonstrating, you were so passionate that you even stuck out your tongues to each other."

"It's an illusion, classmate Yan Danchen. Everything you saw was an illusion. This just shows that our skills are good. Even you at the scene couldn't tell it was fake." Jiang Feng spoke solemnly with a righteous expression, which even made Yan Danchen have an illusion that the tiny person was actually me.

While the two were chatting, suddenly, someone quickly chased after them from behind.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Jiang Feng, wait a moment."

Without looking back, Jiang Feng knew it was Xu Jinglei just by listening to the voice.

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

Jiang Feng and Yan Danchen greeted Xu Jinglei at the same time.

"Hello, Yan Danchen, I have something I want to talk to Jiang Feng about. I don't know if you are here..." "Oh, then, Teacher Xu, you guys chat."

Seeing that Xu Jinglei was hesitant to speak, Yan Danchen, who was very perceptive, immediately pointed forward.

"We're at the canteen now. I have to hurry over to get my food."

"Go." Xu Jinglei waved her hand, then turned to look at Jiang Feng.

"how do you feel?"

“It tastes like wax!”

Seeing that Xu Jinglei asked the same question as Yan Danchen, Jiang Feng gave the same answer.

"Tsk, so hypocritical. I can even feel you sticking out your tongue secretly." Seeing Jiang Feng like this, Xu Jinglei immediately rolled her eyes at him.

However, her expression immediately turned serious.

"Jiang Feng, these days, I gave the manuscript of "Du Lala's Promotion" to a few editor friends. They felt it was okay. It is an urban workplace novel and should have a certain audience with financial resources.

So, they asked me to ask you, if you were going to publish it, how many copies would you print first?

How many copies were printed in the first print run?

Seeing what you are asking, of course the more the better. The more novels are printed, the higher my royalties will be, and naturally the higher my income will be.

This is such an easy-to-understand truth that even beggars on the street probably know it. How could you not know it?
After muttering a few words in his mind, Jiang Feng was about to express his own opinion, when he saw Xu Jinglei take out a few pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to him.

"What?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Look." Xu Jinglei replied.

[Price list of self-published books
1 Book number fee: This is the main part of the expenditure, generally between 3.5 to 5.5 yuan and to yuan. Most ordinary publishing houses charge between and yuan for book number fees (this fee will also vary depending on the partner and the quality of the manuscript. If the volume is large and the cooperation is stable, the fee may be negotiated.)
2. Proofreading fee: Most publishers require proofreading fees, which are generally calculated per thousand words (number of words on a page). For example, for a 20-word novel, the proofreading fee is generally between 2000 yuan and 3500 yuan.

3. Cover design and layout:
Content typesetting fee
The publishing house's content typesetting fee is usually calculated based on the number of pages. Because the content typesetting teacher is usually also responsible for proofreading and revising the manuscript. Therefore, the fee per page is closely related to the difficulty of typesetting and the quality of the manuscript. If it is a monochrome pure text book, the price per page is usually 5-10 yuan.

...]

Looking at the thing in his hand, Jiang Feng realized that he had been thinking wrong.

Of course, he also realized how outrageous some of the plots in the entertainment novels he coded in his previous life were. Once the male protagonist copied a book, it would immediately cause a response in the market, and then he would make a fortune after a few weeks.

But the reality is not like this.

If an unknown person wants to become famous by writing novels, no matter how good the novel is or how much the editor likes it, he would not dare to put all the risks on the publishing house, but would share the risks with the publishing house.

Well, let me put it this way. Under normal circumstances, publishing houses will let authors publish books at their own expense, rather than rushing to you and crying out to commission your manuscript just because they see that what you write is good.

Of course, unless you have already proven yourself in the market, such as Yu Hua, Jin Yong, Gu Long and other well-known authors.

"How about it?
Jiang Feng, how many copies do you plan to print for the first time? "

Seeing Jiang Feng finished looking at what was in his hand, Xu Jinglei asked again.

"Hmm..." Jiang Feng thought for a moment, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"Teacher Xu, I think your calligraphy is very good, and your words are also pure and elegant. You are a typical literary young woman. Don't you have the idea of ​​publishing a book yourself?"

"Uh..." Xu Jinglei was suddenly a little confused.

"Teacher Xu, we are all friends, so I'll be frank. You don't have to sign the novel "Du Lala's Promotion" as Jiang Feng or Jiang Yulang. Just write the author as Xu Jinglei and pretend that you wrote the novel.

In this way, you can use your social connections and funds to publish it and sell it in major bookstores. I don't ask for much, just the royalties and copyrights of this novel.

To be honest, I don’t care about fame at all.

How about my suggestion, would you consider it?"
