Chapter 1054 1056【Direct blog】

  At the end of 2008, another incident occurred that made everyone unexpected.

  That is, Sheng Huainan, the master of Zhenhua, actually took the exam, was caught by the teacher on the spot, and was expelled from the school.

  After hearing the news, many people doubted their ears.

  Sheng Huainan's academic performance is very good, ranking first in the big list all year round. Just a sophomore, he has already joined the professor's experimental team, which can be said to be quite excellent.

   Moreover, not only is he excellent in studies, but he is also very handsome, and he is known as a male god.

  In Zhenhua, Chu Tiankuo is the benchmark of appearance. All boys are divided into two categories, one is uglier than him, and the other is god. Sheng Huainan is that great god.

   It is unbelievable that such a person would take the exam and be expelled from school.

   "I heard that something happened to the Sheng family. His father was arrested for corruption. He agreed to let him take the exam in order to save his father." Ling Xiangqian explained to Xiang Nan.

  Her parents are both civil servants, and she is very well informed about this.

  …

  Xiang Nan nodded.

  In fact, he knew the cause of Sheng Huainan's accident. It was indeed because my father was arrested that he went to the doctor in a hurry.

  But this is not a bad thing for him.

  After this fall, he fell from the clouds to the dust. Without the aura brought by his family background, he was able to reap his love instead.

   Otherwise, Luo Zhi's family background is so ordinary. Even if they are in love, it is difficult to get together because of their different family backgrounds.

  The four words of being in good standing may sound old-fashioned, but in fact it is full of people's hearts.

   Besides, it was Sheng Huainan's father who was corrupt and imported a batch of substandard equipment, which caused a production accident and caused Luo Zhi's father to die.

  So, now that his father is in jail, it can be regarded as retaliation for retribution.

   Otherwise, Luo Zhi's mother would not be able to get out of her heart, and their union would not be smooth.

  It's just right now, Sheng Huainan has become a down and out prince, with nothing left except his talent and learning. Luo Zhi was originally from an ordinary family, and basically had nothing but talents and learning.

  The two of them happened to be together, supporting each other and working hard together.

  So not only is it not a bad thing, but a good thing.

  …

  At the end of 2009, Xiang Nan and Ling Xiangqian took the postgraduate entrance examination together.

  Other Zhenhua students, very few choose to continue their studies. Compared with them, most of them are looking for jobs.

  After all, at that time, the postgraduate entrance examination was not considered mainstream, and only a few took the postgraduate entrance examination.

  In 2009, there were 1.24 million talents who took the postgraduate entrance examination nationwide; in 2019, the number of people who took the postgraduate entrance examination nationwide reached 2.38 million, nearly doubled.

  Based on the academic performance of the two, the postgraduate entrance examination naturally went very smoothly.

  Xiang Nan then entered the direction of high-energy physics research, while Ling Xiangqian entered the direction of journalism and communication.

  Xiang Nan inherited the knowledge of Raj and Qian Sanyi, and has an innate advantage in high-energy physics. Therefore, in the year of enrollment, many papers have been published, all of which have been published in top international journals.

  Such a performance made the tutors dumbfounded, let alone the students.

   You must know that top international journals are not easy to be listed in. It must be a very important invention, a very sensational discovery, and a very amazing pioneering work to be able to be listed in this journal.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that it is very difficult for a mentor to be published in a journal. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan has already made so many amazing discoveries when he was just a graduate student, which is really surprising.

   Because of this, Xiang Nan became a blockbuster in the academic world, and soon received invitations from famous universities such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia University, and University of Pennsylvania.

  However, when he was still a high school student, he never thought about going abroad for development. Now that they have settled down in the capital, they are famous and profitable, so naturally they will not go abroad for development.

  So he stayed at Peking University and continued his research work.

   Also because of his outstanding performance, the school allowed him to directly study for a Ph.D.

  …

In 2009, there was another incident, that is, Huayi Films, Enlight Media, Bona Films, and Wan Tai Films purchased "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Tomb Raiders Notes" from Xiang Nan " and many other novels' film and television adaptation rights, and the bids were not outrageous.

   Firstly, movies developed based on popular IP such as the "Harry Potter" series, "Transformers" series, "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" exploded, making mainland film and television companies also begin to pay attention to the value of IP.

  Secondly, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, "Tomb Raiders Notes" series, "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" series, etc., are among the most popular novels in recent years.

  The total sales of the eight volumes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and the ten volumes of "Tomb Raiders Notes" exceeded 40 million copies, not to mention the sales volume of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" and the number of hits on the Internet. On average, one out of every twenty people has read these books, which is still a very high proportion.

   This naturally aroused the pursuit of major film and television companies, and they offered high prices for acquisitions.

  However, the price at that time was actually not high. The series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sold for one million copies, and the series "Tomb Raiders Notes" sold for 800,000 copies.

  Xiang Nan was not satisfied with the price.

  Those traffic stars are paid several million a day. His novel is so popular, the film company wants to make money from the fame of this IP, but they are only willing to give him one million.

   Really too stingy.

   Therefore, Xiang Nan proposed that he should not pay a penny for the copyright, and allow him to use the film and television adaptation rights to buy shares. For each movie, he takes 2% of the box office. Or, for each novel, the five million film and television adaptation fee is not priced.

   This price really scares away many film companies.

   But after all, there is still good money.

  Xu Ke, known as Old Freak Xu, sent someone to discuss with Xiang Nan, hoping to get the film and television adaptation rights of "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty".

  But he doesn't want the ones that have been published. After all, the "Di Renjie" series belongs to suspense and detective stories, and the published novels have already been spoiled, so they are not very attractive to the audience.

  So he asked Xiang Nan to write a special one for him, and the price was five million.

  …

  The price of 5 million, to buy a book that is currently written, is actually a bit uneconomical for Xiang Nan. After all, I have to expend energy to write again, which is really tiring.

  And this kind of propositional composition is also the most tiring. If the writing is not good, it may be returned. For him, it's a bit of a loss.

  But after thinking about it, Xiang Nan decided to cooperate with Xu Ke.

   For one thing, his novels have not been adapted into film and television dramas, and the major film and television companies are not sure that adapting his novels will definitely make money. That's why when they negotiated the price, they seemed hesitant and held back.

  If you can set an example for them and let them know that your novel, after being adapted into a film and television drama, can really make money, that would be much easier.

  Secondly, he still admires Xu Ke's ability. "Swordsman", "New Dragon Inn", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Huang Feihong", etc., were all well-received and well-received.

  In Xiang Nan's opinion, his control of blockbuster special effects is the number one in the Chinese film industry, even Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou are slightly inferior. So this "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" is entrusted to him to shoot, and there is a high probability that it will be successful.

   At that time, if you make a good start, the remaining novels will be easy to sell.

  So Xiang Nan agreed and wrote him "Di Renjie: The Spiritual Palace", which tells the story of Di Renjie cracking the conspiracy of a mysterious organization to overthrow Datang.
