Chapter 299: Write a Letter of Guarantee(2/3)
The two went to watch TV first. Today's color TVs are very small, basically about 20 inches, and the price is not cheap. Yu Dong saw a 21-inch color TV made by Neon with a price tag of 3,800 yuan, which cost him more than a year's salary.
.
Later, I saw a 29-inch model, which is basically the treasure of the store. The price is more than 10,000, and there is only such a prototype in the store. If you want to buy a new model, you have to reserve it.
Originally, when Yu Dong and the others were looking at the small color TV, the salesperson was quite enthusiastic. Later, when Yu Dong asked about the large color TV, he could clearly feel that the salesperson's enthusiasm had dropped by half.
It's not too bad, but it's just not as responsive as before. Yu Dong didn't say anything because he had no plans to buy a TV in the first place.
The house won't be available until January, and it will take at least half a year to decorate it and buy furniture. He can wait until the furniture is in the house before buying electrical appliances. Anyway, electrical appliances can be installed after he buys them, so it won't waste time.
In such an era of rapid change, it is really not wise to buy electrical appliances more than half a year in advance. Who knows whether there will be a new TV set in half a year and whether the price will drop?
"Cheng Yanqiu."
The two of them had just left the electrical appliance area when they suddenly heard someone calling Cheng Yanqiu.
They looked back and saw a fat woman about the same age as them walking over. She didn't come alone, but she had someone in her arms, another in her hand, and another behind her.
Those in her arms and hands should be her children, and the one behind her should be her husband.
"Cheng Yanqiu, it's really you. You haven't changed much in all these years."
Cheng Yanqiu looked at the other party and couldn't remember who the other party was for a moment. The woman smiled and said, "I'm Kan Tingting. We were at the same table in junior high school for more than a month."
"Kan Tingting." Cheng Yanqiu opened his eyes wide with an incredible expression, "I remember you before..."

She's in elementary school, and the younger one hasn't been weaned yet." After saying that, Kan Tingting patted her eldest daughter on the back of her head and said, "Call me auntie."
"Hello, aunt." The little girl called obediently.
"Hello to you too." Cheng Yanqiu bent down and greeted the little girl with a smile, "What's your name?"
"My name is Lu Yanyan."
"By the way, are you married now? Who is this?" Kan Tingting looked at Yu Dong and asked.
Cheng Yanqiu introduced with a smile, "This is my fiancé, Yu Dong."
"Hello, hello, you are such a talented and handsome woman. When I was in middle school, Cheng Yanqiu was the most beautiful woman in our class. Every day, she would receive small notes from other classes."
Kan Tingting looked very happy when she met her old classmate. She pulled Cheng Yanqiu and said, "Are you here to buy anything today? I heard that you later went to the Conservatory of Music. How are you doing now? Are you working out of town or have you just come back? I am
I have been in Jinling, but I have never met you. I have met many of my former junior high school classmates, but I rarely met those who went to college. Most of them went to other places. "
She had many questions, and Cheng Yanqiu didn't know which one to answer first. However, Kan Tingting obviously did not want Cheng Yanqiu to answer, and continued to talk to herself.
After a while, his husband said impatiently, "Why don't you buy something? The store is about to close."
"Oh, okay." Kan Tingting responded quickly, and then said to Cheng Yanqiu, "I have something to do today. Let's talk again when we have the opportunity."
After saying that, she took her daughter and her husband and walked forward.
Cheng Yanqiu looked at Kan Tingting's back and was stunned for a while.
"What are you thinking about?"
Cheng Yanqiu shook his head, "It's nothing, I just feel very surprised. Kan Tingting used to be very thin, even thinner than me, but I didn't expect that she has changed so much now. And she got married too early, and her daughter is already in elementary school."
"Does it feel like getting married is scary?" Yu Dong asked with a smile.
"No, but I feel that his husband is not very friendly."
"It's really not very friendly." Yu Dong nodded, always feeling that Kan Tingting's husband looked bitter and resentful, which made everyone unhappy.
Moreover, Kan Tingting seemed to be quite afraid of her husband. She was happily chatting with Cheng Yanqiu, but once her husband spoke, she did not dare to talk any more.
However, Yu Dong and the others couldn't care about other people's housework. They chatted casually for a few words and then continued shopping.
About ten minutes later, Kan Tingting found them again and gave Cheng Yanqiu a note, "This is my home phone number. You can call me if you have nothing to do. But try to call me during the day in the middle of the week. I don't like it at other times."
available."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Cheng Yanqiu clutched the note, feeling that this light note was extraordinarily heavy. What on earth did Kan Tingting endure after getting married? Even chatting with middle school classmates had to be so secretive?
Later, when Yu Dong saw that she was absent-minded, he pulled her and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see anymore. Let's make time to come here next time."
…
By the end of November, the box office of "Second World" in China has basically been released, and Yanjing has already scheduled the movie ahead of schedule. The current box office is 110 million, and it won't increase much if there are more movies in the future.
However, as the first introduced budget blockbuster, it has a box office of 110 million, which can be said to be a good start.
At the same time, "The Butterfly Effect" also exceeded 30 million, and finally received 34 million at the box office. The results are also very impressive.
During this period, "The Second World" was also released in other countries and regions, first in the UK, then in Neon, Korea, Xiangjiang in China...
"Reference News" has been reporting on the box office news of "The Second World" recently. This is the first time since "Reference News" was founded that it has paid such attention to a movie, and it is also a foreign movie.
Although the news in "Reference News" lags behind that of foreign media, for domestic audiences, this is their only window to understand foreign countries. Therefore, many readers who pay attention to the film situation read the column of "Reference News" every day, thinking
Be the first to know the box office situation of "The Second World".
“Another weekly box office champion!”
Wang Hailin patted the table, "If this continues, "Second World" might really be able to beat "Jurassic Park" and win the global box office championship in film history."
"Why do I feel that following the reports of "Reference News" is more exciting than following Teacher Yu's novels."
"Don't talk nonsense, I would rather read novel updates. But the teacher always publishes science fiction, why don't we publish a mystery novel again? Our mystery novel club doesn't have enough cards."
"How about you go talk to Teacher Yu and ask him to write another mystery novel?"
Wang Hailin said angrily, "I think you asked me to light a lantern and go to the toilet to seek death. How can I influence what kind of novels Brother Dong should write? But having said that, don't complain that our mystery novels don't have a good reputation. This one doesn't have a good reputation either."
We can't just rely on Brother Dong alone. Over there at the Science Fiction Association, members often publish novels in "Science Fiction World". What about you? Can you stop making steamed buns and fight for your reputation? Let's also write a few mystery novels? "Grudge" isn't always there
Are you soliciting essays on mystery novels? Give me some help."
Hearing what Wang Hailin said, most of the members shrank their necks, expressing their inability to do anything.
After a while, another member said, "President, you said it lightly, but you are setting an example for us. You are still an actor, so you can write novels easily?"
"Yes, President, you are so good at writing. It won't be difficult to write a mystery novel, right?"
"Yes, yes, come on, President."
Wang Hailin was furious when he saw how cowardly the members were.
However, he should think carefully about the mystery novel club. Most of the members now come here for the werewolf game. There are not that many who like to read mystery novels, and there are almost none who can write them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sometimes he thinks that he might as well write it himself, but he really doesn’t know where to start.
Seeing the members making a fuss, he held his chin and thought for a while, then patted the table, "Just make a proof, but I have agreed that when I finish writing, each of you will write an article, no matter good or bad,
At least five thousand words."
Why five thousand words? Because Wang Hailin was particularly impressed by this number, Yu Dong assigned them homework, many of which started at five thousand words.
Seeing Wang Hailin pounding the table and rolling up his sleeves, other members also followed suit.
"Write it, let's write it together. I don't believe that one of the dwarfs can't choose a general."
"Three cobblers can only stand up to one Zhuge Liang. With so many of us, we will definitely be able to produce good works."
"Damn it, you can't let those guys from the Science Fiction Association look down on you."
In this way, the Reasoning Association launched a writing movement, because that day was December 3rd, and later this movement was called the 123 Movement.
After the 123 Movement began, Wang Hailin went to find Yu Dong.
He got excited in front of the members and said that he wanted to write a mystery novel, but after calming down, he found that he still had no idea, so he went to Yu Dong with a face and asked Yu Dong to give some suggestions.
"You want to write a mystery novel?" Yu Dong looked at Wang Hailin in surprise, "Seriously? Not just for fun?"
Wang Hailin patted his chest and promised, "I will never play tricks. Whether the writing is good or not is another matter. I will definitely write a mystery novel this time."
Yu Dong looked at Wang Hailin seriously again, and then gave Wang Hailin a pen and paper, "Here, write a letter of guarantee. Just say that you have decided to write a mystery novel. It will be completed within one year and the length will be no less than 100,000 words."
Wang Hailin looked at the pen and paper and said calmly, "Brother Dong, this is not necessary, between people..."
"Write it or not?" Yu Dong glanced at him, "If you don't write it, get out and don't bother me."
"Write, I'll write right away."
Wang Hailin quickly picked up the pen and wrote: I, Wang Hailin, solemnly promise to write a mystery novel of at least 100,000 words within one year. If I violate this oath, I will be struck by lightning.
"Sign, time and name." Yu Dong pointed to the blank space below and reminded.
Wang Hailin wrote the time and name again, and then asked, "Do you want to press your fingerprint?"
He was originally joking, but he didn't expect that Yu Dongzhen brought him ink pads and said, "Press it."
"This..." Wang Hailin licked his lips and pressed his fingerprints honestly.
"Okay, let's live together." Yu Dong put away the guarantee letter and said with a smile, "Now that the guarantee letter has been written, let's take it seriously. You said you wanted to write a mystery novel, do you have an idea?"
"I came to you just because I didn't have any."
"Then let me give you a rundown. You have written a few short stories, and the quality is acceptable. But writing a long story is different from writing a short story. It is easy to break down. I suggest you start with the familiar ones."
