Chapter 4 Unexpected Contact

The character setting of "Lotus Tower" draws inspiration from "The Sentimental Swordsman".

The male protagonist Li Xiangyi can be seen as Li Xunhuan who has lost his martial arts skills. He became famous at a young age, suffered a major change, became ill, and became a wanderer in the world.

Qiao Wanwan is a bit like Lin Shiyin. She is Yingxiong's first love. They seem to be in love, but there are all kinds of problems between them. These problems eventually led to Lin Shiyin's devotion to Long Xiaoyun. In "Lotus Tower", Qiao Wanwan almost married Xiao Zixuan.

Di Feisheng was based on Shangguan Jinhong, the best martial artist in the martial arts world, and Jiao Liqiao was based on Lin Xianer, a femme fatale.

It’s also easy to write…

At nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Yan got up and prepared to check out and get off the plane...

I can’t take it anymore!

The internet cafe is rubbish and the environment is really rubbish.

Not only the smell of cigarettes, but also the smell of feet...

I still have to find a way to get a laptop!

After thinking about it, he sat down, opened Ganji.com, and prepared to buy a second-hand laptop.

The budget is around 800 yuan, as long as I can go online and type, it's fine!
Direct offline transactions in the same city save platform fees.

He actually found it!
I have a Shenzhou Elegant Q, the second-hand price is 650 yuan...

The seller made it clear that the main reason for the elimination was that the memory was too small and could not play games...

In fact, the new Shenzhou Elegant Q is priced at only 1999 yuan, which can only meet basic office and entertainment needs, and its main feature is cost-effectiveness.

By the way, the main feature of Shenzhou laptops is the price-performance ratio!
In 07, Shenzhou launched a notebook priced at 3999 yuan, and in 08, a notebook priced at 2999 yuan. Shenzhou was the first manufacturer to launch notebooks at this price.

In September 08, Shenzhou once again broke the price bottom line of laptop computers and launched a 9 yuan laptop, the Shenzhou Elegant Q.

However, looking at the comments, many people are saying that the Shenzhou Elegant series is a typical electronic chicken, saying that the heat dissipation, screen, solid state drive, and workmanship are all rubbish...

Shen Yan didn't have any requirements for this thing. He just wanted it to be able to type and plug in a USB drive...

——You must plug in the USB drive, after all, there is no internet at home!
I agreed on a transaction time with the seller and then left the plane...

……

In Beijing, Shen Yan has few friends...

At most, I am just an acquaintance with my next-door neighbor.

There are two girls living next door...

It should have been shortly after graduation, and he once invited Shen Yan to dinner together - after all, Shen Yan's appearance was not bad, and people who were good-looking would naturally receive some preferential treatment!
Shen Yan had also felt this in his previous life...

However, Shen Yan politely declined...

This is very similar to my previous life - no time to make friends, just want to make money!

In addition to these two girls, there was also an actor who came to BJ with him.

Zhang Enzheng, who was also a supporting actor in "The Right Path of Life is Vicissitudes", first studied at the Langfang Armed Police Academy and later went to the Hong Kong Film Academy for further studies...

My resume looks impressive, but it's useless. I can only act in TV movies or some unknown TV series...

I can’t even take care of myself, let alone take care of Shen Yan!

The two of them arrived at BJ together and were in contact at first...

Then, it broke...

Just be a plagiarist...

It’s only half a month anyway.

After returning to his residence and washing up briefly, Shen Yan habitually touched his pocket... and then found that he didn't smoke!

In his previous life, he was a typical smoker...

Forget it, smoking is not a good thing, just quit if you can!
Tomorrow, in addition to trading in a used laptop, I also need to buy a keyboard and mouse...

Another considerable expense!
No, I have to top up my phone bill tomorrow...

After deducting these, I only have a little over a thousand left...

Poor in capital letters.

Fortunately, I don’t need to run a group recently - which saves me the biggest expense: transportation costs.

Thinking of the transportation fee, Shen Yan felt a pang of pain. Last month, he went to Hengdian to join the running group. Of course, he was not selected, but the round-trip fare cost him 700 yuan!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get...

This is a fool!

Can’t sleep…

Get up...let's just book a night out.

Write more and keep it as a draft!

Finish writing "Lotus Tower" first... "Lotus Tower" is a typical traditional martial arts novel.

Shen Yan is confident that the "Martial Arts Version" will be serialized...

The "Martial Arts Edition" was seriously short of manuscripts, so I dug up a lot of works from Qidian and Jinjiang, such as "The Young Man of Shu Mountain", "The Missing Moon Wutong", "The Bamboo Reflects the Green Gauze Shadow" ("The New Seven Heroes and Five Gallants")...

Firstly, there are limited good manuscripts, and there are relatively few martial arts novels. The outstanding authors of the younger generation may not be willing to write magazine serials. Secondly, the print media has declined greatly, and the "martial arts version" has also declined!
Then, it should be in 21 years, the "Martial Arts Edition" was completely discontinued.

It's normal. Don Quixote burned a bunch of knight novels, Jane Austen ridiculed Gothic novels in Northanger Abbey, and Lady Jia laughed at stories of talented scholars and beautiful women.

Every generation has its own cool stories...

If it's just a cool story that you forget after reading, there's no need to express your feelings...

After the flowers have fallen, there will always be a few fruits left, carrying the unique flavor of that era.

The flowers will naturally bloom again, but they will be different.

Traditional magazine serials, especially martial arts works, have their own readership!

"Sign in at the Beginning of the Tathagata Palm", this book was very popular in 20 or 21. If you read books on Qidian at that time, you would see a lot of sign-in works, all of which were imitations and learning.

Would you say this book is a martial arts novel?
In fact, it has quite a martial arts atmosphere, with the devil and Buddha, Shaolin Temple, martial artists practicing, and grudges in the martial arts world.

But fans of "traditional martial arts" probably cannot accept works of this style.

……

Arriving at the internet cafe, I ordered some instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water, and started…

Around 4am, I couldn't take it anymore and got off the plane to go home and sleep...

I put what I had written into the mailbox, returned to my residence, and fell directly onto the bed without even washing up.

I was sleeping soundly when my cell phone suddenly rang.

Shen Yan opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the caller ID. Sister Yang...

Who is Sister Yang?

Could it be Yang Mi?

When did he meet his sister?

Connected...Okay, it’s Sister Yang Xing!

She asked about Shen Yan's situation, then recommended a play for him to audition next week...

It is a TV series called "Living Buddha Jigong".

Shen Yanshun replied: "...Okay, sister, please send me the audition address of the crew, I will go and try..."

"Well, I'll send it to you later..."

"... "

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then woke up... He quickly called his second uncle and explained the situation...

It was indeed her second uncle who told her that!
Yang Xing is the second female lead in "The Right Path in the World is Vicissitudes"...

When Shen Yan was in the group, he got along well with her.

My second uncle mobilized the masses last night, and most of the people he knew recommended my eldest nephew...

Then Yang Xing thought of the acting contract he had received and recommended Shen Yan.

Yang Xing is quite popular and shot to fame for her role as Jiang Yuyan in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

She is the leading female role in "Living Buddha Jigong", so it is not difficult for her to bring someone into the crew!
Shen Yan...felt a little regretful.

I agreed too quickly!

He didn't really want to go. On the one hand, he had already taken on the performance of "National Anthem". What if there was a conflict in schedule?
On the other hand, after three months, there is a high probability that he will no longer need to run groups or anything!

I should have accumulated some initial funds by writing code...

He scratched his head and said, "But I have to go to the crew of "National Anthem" in half a month!"

The second uncle on the other end of the phone immediately scolded: "Then you promised them blindly!"

“…I stayed up late last night and my mind isn’t very clear…”

“…What crew?”

"What's called 'Ji Gong'..."

"That's fine. I know about this drama. It's still in the planning stages and we estimate it'll start filming in six months... You've got time!"

"... "
